No sooner had he gained his feet after one fall than down he went again. “Why, child,” called.one of the men, “you are getting all bumped up. I wouldn’t stay on the ice and keep falling down so. Come over here with us and watch the others.” The tears of the last fall, which had been a hard one, were still rolling over the plump cheeks, rosy in the cold, but the child looked indignantly from his adviser to the shining steel runners on his feet. “I didn’t get new skates to give up with,” he retorted. “I got ’em to learn how with.” “Good,” laughed the other man; “go at it again.
