Is as clearly a subsidy us anything

THE SANDMAN STORY
FOR TONIGHT
By MRS. F. A. WALKER.
ROBERT’S VACATION.
W here ahall Ave send . Robert this
year for hi« vacation?” *ald hia moth
er. “Most of the boyg are going to a
camp up In the mountains with one of
the prof'enHoi'H.”
“I have a plan for Robert that he
probably will not like at first," said his*
father, “but I hope if he has the right
spirit In him this summer will bring
it to the surface. Robert has had
tilings too easy, and he does not real
ize what work means. When he goes
camping he does not have to work un-
ROBERT LOOKED OUT OF Tv
WINDOW.
lrss he feels like It, and he has all
l>lay ami no work, which is Just aa
had as all work and no |>lny. I am
Kins to put him to work this sum
mer."
Robert's mother did not like the plan,
hut when her husband explained that
Robert was to so on a farm owned
by a friend of his father's she had no
objection to tlie carrying out of the
plan
"You are to work for your hoard,"
his father explained, "and I hope you
will l>« üblo to earn it."
"Work for my bourd." repeated
Robert. "Can't you afford to pay my
board, father?"
"Yes." replied his father, "but you
do not expect me to go on paying
your hoard all your life."
Robert said he did not, hut he did
not like the plan and felt sure he
should have a most uncomfortable
summer.
"If you do it will tie your own fault."
his father toid him when he left him
at the train
Robert got off the train at a small
station. There seemed not to lie a liv
ing thing in sight when the last puff
|of the train died away. The station
was deserted and even In a little storq
a short distance away ttiere seemed to
be no signs of life. Robert sat down
|on the step and waited. U was a still*
ness Robert had never experieneed be
fore The twitter of n bird was only
a thing he heard for several minutes.
Someone was earning up the hill Rob
irt Jumped to his feet. "I want to go
to Mr. Sheldon's farm; is there anyone
here to meet me?" lie asked the tall
boy who came toward him.
"There comes Mr. Sheldon now."
said the I ij. and Robert's spirits re
vived.
Sir Sheldon was a large. Jolly-look
ing man. and he shook Robert by the
hand and said he looked like his father.
"If you ure like him you are all
right," he added, and Robert won
dered what he roquet
It was a long rbjo to the farm, and
up hill most of the way, Robert
thought the horses wers the slowest
he had ever known, and It was dark
vv hen they arrived.
Mrs. Sheldon was a pleasant-facsd
woman, and she greeted Robert in
such a motherly way that he forgot
the long, tiresome ride, and ate the
generous supper she had ready with a
hearty relish.
Then Ben Sheldon. Farmer Shel
don's son. cams In. and while he was
very bashful, he shook Robert's hand
In i\ way that made him fed he was
welcome.
Robert slept soundly that night and
INDOOR SPORTS sa ut w* By Tad
the sun was streaming In at the win
dow when he awoke. He Jumped out
of bed and looked at his watch and
tiding it was only 7 o'clock, he was
petting Into bed again, when he heard
the sound of wheels.
Robert looked out of the window and
saw Mr. .Sheldon driving out of the
yard. “Wonder whore he Is going so
early," thought Robert. He listened
and hear someone sweeping in the
next room.
"I guess I will dress." thought Rob
ert. "I forgot to ask what time they
had breakfast.
When Robert went Into the dining
room Mrs Sheldon greeted him with a
smile, nnd asked if he slept welt.
"Thought I would let you sleep this
morning.” she said, ‘1 will bring your
breakfast right in.”
"Have you had breakfast?" asked
Robert.
"Oh, yes. my dear," was the answer;
“we hnve breakfast at 5 o'clock in tha
summer.
To Robert, who had never been out
of his bed In the morning before 7;3u
o'clock in his life, this seemed an un
heard of hour, hut he did not comment.
He ate his breakfast in silence and
then went in search of Ren.
"Hello, (’ailed Hen, in the most
friendly manner "I thought you were
going to sleep all day. Guess It is a
long trip from the city. Isn’t It?” *
"Were you never in the city?” asked
Robert.
"No, hut If my crop of hay comes out
sit right this year, I am giving this
winter," Ha id Ren.
Robert began to feel he had never
done tnueh in life that was wort l
while as he watched Ben doing ilrsl
one thing and then another and by
noontime he wanted to work, too.
"Father said I was to work for my
hoard,” he said to Mr. Sheldon, as
they sat at the dinner table: "when
am 1 to begin?”
"Whenever you are ready,” replied
Mr. Sheldon: “I thought I would let
you get acquainted first.”
"I feel pretty well acquainted now,"
said Robert with a laugh, "and I feel
pretty lazy after following Ben
around nil the morning. But I don’t
know how to do all the things he
does "
Pen blushed with pride, and this re
mark made him Robert's friend for
all time.
"I guess you can do anything T can."
he said. "I will show you what is to
he done, if you com* with me this af
ternoon; 1 am going to cut some trees
down."
That night Robert was so tired he
could hardly sit up long enough to cat
Ills supper, hut he stood all of the
Joking that Ben and his father did at
his expense good naturedly.
“f know I am green," he said, "but
you wait, 1 will he able to work all
day before this summer Is over and
not fall asleep over my supper."
When Robert had been at the farm
a month he was doing half of the work
that Ben did usually and the extra
work that has to he done in the sum
mer on a farm the hoys divided also,
so that they found plenty of time for
fishing and berrying.
Ben's crop turned out well, and Rob
ert was as interested na Ben in get
ting It in, for he was anxious that Ben
should come to the city that winter
and visit him.
"! told you you looked like your
father when I tlrst say you.” said Mr.
Sheldon, when It was time for Robert
to return to the city, "and you are
like him, for you are not afraid to work
hard and look for It. We have enjoyed
I laving you here more than we can
tell you.”
"1 never had siu*b a fine summer
before," said Robert, "and after this it
Is the farm for my and no more camp
