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 ing."
