and when the judge decided that he should remain where he was, and not be sent to any other home, the boy grew stronger by the hour. Then Laura had her hands full to keep him happily occupied; for after a while, in spite of auto rides and visits to the Zooin spite of books and games and picture puzzlessometimes she thought he seemed not quite happy, and she puzzled over the problem, dering what she had left undone. When one day she found him watching some boys playing in a vacant lot, the wistful | voice, that means a deal to some who come from poor homes where there is not too much to eat. We shall gladly pay for Jim, Laura said quickly, enough for him and some of the others too. So Jims outdoor life began. There was a covered porch adjoining the old nursery, and the judge had the end boarded up to protect the boys cot from snow or rain; and there, in a warm sleeping-bag, with a wool cap over his ears, and a little fox terrier cuddled down beside him for company, Jim slept through all the ter weather. He and the judge were great chums now. It would be hard to say which most enjoyed the half-hour they spent together before Laura carried the boy off to bed. And as for Laurashe often dered how she had ever gotten on without Jim. He filled the big house with | 149in khaki swung around a corner and was gone. Then with a long happy breath he turned to Laura and said, half apologetically, half appealingly, You see a fellow gets kind o hungry for boys, sometimes. You dont mind, do you, Miss Laura? No, indeed, Jim. I get hungry for girls the same wayits all right, she assured him. But she made up her mind that Jim should not get so hungry for boys againshe would see to that. After a moment he asked thoughtfully, Why cant boys be Scouts till theyre twelve, Miss Laura? I | think because younger boys could not go on the long tramps. Oh! Jim thought that over and finally admitted, Yes, I guess thats it. A little later he asked anxiously, Do you spose theyd let a fellow join when hes twelve even if he is just a little lame? O, I hope so, Jim, Laura answered quickly. But you aint sure. Jack wasnt sure, but he guessed they would. Jim pondered a while in silence, then he broke out again, Seems to me the only way is for me to get this leg cured. I cant be shut out of things always | | | |
