SYNOPSIS '
William Baxter, aged seventeen, falls at
flrst sight In calf love with young Miss
Prati i.ii h vU:t co friends of his. Hll
little sister, Jane, la a fly In the ointment
William Is sent by his mother to help
Genesis, darky of all work, bring home
some washtubs she had purchased. They
are accompanied by Clematis, Genesis'
mongrel dog. Miss Pratt, escorted by her
friends, comes along with her dog, Ploplt
A dogiight ensues.
The dogs are separated. William van
ishes, disguised, under a boiler. That
evening he takes his father's dress suit
and calls upon Miss Pratt and her friend.
Miss Parcher.
Jane, a knowing youngster, explains
certain matters concerning William's love
affair to her mother. She also knows the
fact that William has abstracted his fa
ther's dress suit.
William's attentions to Miss Pratt and
those of rivals get on Mr. Parcher's nerves.
Jane tells Mr. Parcher In secret that Wil
liam can't get his father's dress suit any
longer because it Is being altered.
Ife liuil" won*. Ute.se clothes ou the
previous Saturday, and. returning from
a gloritled walk with Miss l'rntt, he
htul demonstrated u fact to which his
near demolition of the wafers this aft
ernoon was additional testimony. This
fact, roughly stated, Is that a person
of seventeen in love Is liable to sit
down anywhere. William had dream
ily seated himself upon a taboret in
the library without noticing that Jane
had left her open paint box there.
Jane had just been painting sunsets.
Naturally all the little blocks of color
were wet, and the effect upon Wil
liam's pule gray trousers was marvel
ous, far beyond the capacity of his
coat to eoueeal.
Collar buttons and children's paint
boxes—these are the trolls that lie in
wait!
The gray clothes and the flannel
trousers had been destined for the pro
fessional cleaner, aud William, rous
ing himself from u brief stupor, made
a piteous effort to substitute himself
for that expert. He brought water,
towels, bath soap aud a rubber bath
sponge to the bright light of his win
dow, and there, with touching courage
and persistence, he tried to scrub the
paint out of the cloth. lie obtained
cloud studies and marines which would
have interested a post-impressionist,
but upon trousers they seemed out of
place.
There came one seeking and calling
hlui again. Itaps sounded upon the
door, which he had uot forgotten to
lock.
"Willie," said a serious voice, "mam
ma wants to know what lu mercy's
name is the matter! She wants to
know If you know for mercy's name
what time it is! She wants to know
what In mercy's name you think
they're all goin' to think! She says"—
"CJ'way!"
"Well, she said 1 had to find out
what in mercy's name you're doln',
Willie!"
luu ll'il un, iiv ..™ J
"fell her I'm playin' dominoes! What's
she think I'm iloln'V"
"I guess"—Jane paused, evidently to
complete the swallowing of something
—"I guess she thinks you're goin'
crazy. I don't like Miss Pratt, but she
lets me play with that little dog. It's
name's Flopit."
"You go 'way from that door and
stop bothering me," .said William. "I
got enough on my mind:"
"Mamma looks at Miss Pratt," Jane
remarked. "Miss l'ratt puts cakes In
that Mr. Bullitt's mouth and Johnnie
Watson's mouth too. She's awful."
William bellowed, "If you don't get
away from that door"—
Jane was Interested In the conversa
tion. but felt that It would be better
to return to the refreshment table.
There she made use of her own con
ception of a whisper to place before
her mother a report which was consid
ered interesting and even curious by
every one present, though, such was
the courtesy of the little assembly,
there was a general preteuse of not
hearing.
"I told him," thus whispered Jaue,
••an' he said. 'You g'way from that
door or I'll do somep'n'— He didn't
say what, mamma. He said: "What
you think I'm doin'? I'm playln' dom
inoes.' He didn't mean he was playin'
dominoes, mamtua. He Just said he
was. I think maybe he was Just look
in' in the lookln'glass some more."
Mrs. Baxter was becoming embar
rassed. She resolved to go to Wil
liam's room herself at the first oppor
tunity, but for some time her conscien
tiousness as a hostess continued to oc
cupy her at the table, and then when
she would have gone Miss Pratt de
tained her by a roguish appeal to make
Mr. Bullitt and Mr. Watson behave.
Both refused all nourishment except
such as was placed in their mouths by
the delicate hand of one of the Noblest,
and the latter said that really she
wanted to eat a little tweetie now aiul
then herself and not to spend her whole
time feeding the Men.
For Miss Pratt had the same playful
ness with older people that she had
with those of her own age, and she
elaborate her nreteuded auarj-pJ wjjh I
tho tw& youufc gehtlemon, taking Ctti
ers of the dazzled company into her
confidence about It and Insisting upon
"Mamma Batster's" acting formally as
Judge to settle the difficulty. However,
having thus arranged matters, Miss
Pratt did not resign the center of in
terest, but herself proposed a compro
mise. She would continue to feed Mr.
Bullitt and Mr. Watson "every other
tweetle"—that Is, each must agree to
eat a cake "all by him own self after
every cake fed to him.
So the comedietta went on, to the
running accompaniment of laughter,
with Mr. Bullitt and Mr. Watson swept
by gusts of adoration.
A colored serving maid entered with
a laden tray and, having disposed of
its freight of bonbons among the
guests, spoke to Mrs. Baxter in a low
voice.
"Could you manago step In the back
hall a minute, please, ma'am?"
Mrs. Baxter managed and, having
closed the door upon the laughing
voices, asked quickly: "What Is it,
Adelia? Have you seen Mr. William?
Do you know why he doesn't come
down?"
"Yes'm," said Adelia. "He gone
mighty near out his head, Mlz Baxter,
lie come floppln' down the back stairs
in his bafrobe 11T while ago. He Jes'
gone up again. lie ain't got no britches,
Miz Baxter; he ain't got no britches at
all."
"But It can't be!" she gasped. "Ho
has! lie has plenty!"
knows much what he's doln', Mlz
Baxter. He bruug down some gray
britches to the kitchen to see if I
eouldu' press an' clean 'em right quick.
They was the ones Miss Jane, when
she's, paintin' all them sunsets, lef her
paint box opcu, an' one them sunsets
got on these here gray britches, Miz
Baxter. An' hones'ly, Mlz Baxter, he's
tixed 'em in a condishun, tryln' to git
thut paint out, I don't believe it'll be
no use sendin' 'em to the cleaner.
" 'Clean 'em an* press 'em quick?' I
says. "1 couldn't clean 'em by resur
reckshun, let alone pressin' 'em!' No'm!
'Well,' 1 says, "ain't but one thing lef'
to do I can see,' I says. 'Why don't
you go put on that nice black suit you
had las' winter?'"
"Of course!" Mrs. Baxter cried. "I'll
go and"—
"No'm," said Adelia; "you don't need
to. He's, up in the attic now r'arln'
rouu' 'rnong them trunks, but seem to
mo like I remember you put that suit
away under the heavy blankets in that
big cedar dies' with the padlock. If
you jes' tell me where Is the key I
take it up t; him."
"Under the bureau In the spare
room." said Mrs. Baxter. "Hurry!"
Fifteen minutes later William, for
the last time that afternoon, surveyed
himself in his mirror. The black suit
was a map of creases, but at least he
was clothed. He emptied his pockets,
disgorging upon the floor a multitude
of small while spheres like marbles.
He discovered that their odor still re
mained about him, so lie stopped and
carefully turned his pockets inside out;
but. finding that ho still smelled vehe
mently of the moth balls, he went to
his mother's room and sprinkled violet
toilet water upon his < best and shoul
ders.
lie disliked such odors, but that loft
by the moth balls was intolerable, and,

N
O'M, he ain't got no britches,"
Adelia assured Mrs. Baxter.
"An' he's carryln' on go
I don't scarcely think he
laying hands upon a canister labeled
"Hyacinth," be eontlived to pour a
quantity of scented powder inside big
collar.
I„o, William was now ready to go to
bis party! Moist, wilted, swelling In
deed strangely, be was ready. But
when he reached the foot of the stairs
he discovered that there was one thing
more to be done. lie beheld a lurking
shape upon the porch, stealthily mov
ing toward the open door. It was the
lowly Clematis, deg anto Genesis.
William Instantly divined the pur
pose of Clematla. It was debatable
whether Clematis had remained upon
the premises after the departure of
Genesis or had lately returned thither
upon some errand of his own, but one"
thing was certain, and the mauner of
Clematis—his attitude, his every look,
his every gesture—made It as clear as
day. Clematis had discovered by one
means or another the presence of Flop
it In the house and had determined to
see him personally.
William was well aware that Clem
atis could not be driven away, except
temporarily, for nothing was further
fixed upon Clematis than his habit of
retiring under pressure, only to return
and return again. William cast a hunt
ed look over bis shoulder; then he ap
proached Clematis.
"Good ole doggie," be said huskily.
"Hyuh, Clem! Hyuh, Clem!"
Clematis Bmefl-jsWeleog* retreatis*.
his Bead low, his tail denoting anxfoUs
thoughts.
Thereupon William essayed a ruse
he pretended to nibble at something
and then extended his hand aa If It
held forth a gift of food. "Look, Clem,"
hcsald. "Yum-yum! Meat, Clem! Good
meat!"
For once Clematis was half credu
lous. He did not advance, but he
elongated himself to Investigate the
extended hand and the next Instant
found himself seized viciously by the
scruff of the neck. He submitted to
capture in absolute silence. William
dragged him down a passageway to
the cellar door. This ho opened, thrust
Clematis upon the other side of it
closed and bolted It
Immediately a stentoisiari howl raised
blood curdling echoes through the
house. Clematis stated that he was
anxious to see Flopit and considered It
an unexampled outrage that he was
withheld from the opportunity. Wil
liam charged down the cellar stairs
after Clematis, choking and calling in
low, ferocious tones: "Good doggie!
Good ole doggie! Hyuli, Clem! Meat.
Clem! Meat!"
There was dodging through coalblns.
there was squirming between barrels,
there was high Jumping and broad
Jumping, but flnal'y William was the
conqueror, and Into a small shed or
toolhouse behind Mrs. Baxter's flower
beds went Clematis In a hurried and
spasmodic manner. The instant the
door slammed he lifted his voice and
was bidden to use It now as much as
he liked.
William strode into the hall and
opened the door of the "living room."
Jane was sitting on the floor busily
painting sunsets In a large blank book.
She looked up brightly.
"I got a little bit sick, so mamma
told me to keep quiet awhile. She's
lookln' for you all over tha house. She
told papa she don't know what In mer
cy's name people are golu' to think
about you, Willie."
The distraught youth strode to her.
"The party"— he choked. "Where"—
"They all stayed pretty long," said
Jane, but the last ones said they had
to go home to their dinners when papa
came, a little while ago. Johnnie Wat
son was carryin' Flopit for that Miss
Pratt."
William dropped Into the chair be
side which Jane had established her
self upon the floor. Then he uttered a
terrible cry and rose.
Again Jane had painted a sunset she
had not Intended.
On a warm morning, ten days later,
William 6tood pensively among his
mother's flowerbeds behind the house,
his attitude denoting a low state of
vitality. Not far away an aged negro
sat upon a wheelbarrow In the hot sun,
tremulously yet skillfully whittling a
pleco of wood into the shape of a boat,
labor more to his taste evidently than
that which he had abandoned at the re
quest of Jane. Allusion to this prefer
ence for a lighter task was made by
Genesis, who was erecting a trellis on
the border of the little garden.
"Pappy whittle all day," he chuckled.
"Whittle all night too. Pappy, I thought
you *uz goln' to git 'at long bed all
spado up fer me by noon. Ain't 'at
what you tole me?"
"You let him alone, Genesis," said
Jane, who sat by the old man's side,
deeply fascinated. "There's goln' to
be a great deal of rain In the next few
days, maybe, an' I haf to have this
boat ready."
The aged darky lifted his streaky
and diminished eyes to the burnished
sky and laughed. "Kain come some
day, anyways," he said. "We git de
boat ready 'fo' she fall; dat sho." His
glance wandered to William and rest
ed upon him with feeble curiosity.
"Dat ain' yo' pappy. Is It?" he asked
Jane.
"I should say it Isn't!" she exclaimed.
"It's Willie, lie was only seventeen
about two or three months ago, Mr.
Genesis." This was not the old man's
name, but Jane had evolved it, inspired
by respect for one so aged and so kind
about whittling. He was the father of
Genesis, and the latter, neither to her
knowledge nor to her imagination pos
sessed a snrnuute.
