→IDLE HANDS." E BY LEO D'OLIVER ( DOLLY.") Little Barbara Weir was moving lightly from rose bush to rose bush, spraying them with the garden squirt she held in her hands. It was a broiling August day, and the sun was still riding in triumph, high in the heavens, and Barbara knew it was far too hot to water the garden; but Barbara wanted something to do, and like the rest of her sex,, stayed not to argue out the use or accruing benefits, from an action she wished to perform. Suffice it, that she was busily doing something, "Babs her brother appeared in the kitchen doorway, his hands in his pockets, and a straw hat on the back of his head.

"Well?" asked Barbara without troubling to turn round..

"I say Babs, come along to the Fergus- sons, May and Jock have challenged we two, to a Badminton match."

Babs stooped to refill her squirt. "Can't she replied laconically, "too busy." "Oh Babs" Freds voice was full of en treaty, "you know you promised to play the yesterday; and they'll have the net

"Come along," the boy continued, "you know we can beat the Fergussons.”.

"I can't Fred, I have my violin practice to go through yet."

Barbara had long decided that there would be no violin-practice that day; but she did not ace fit to tell Fred so.

"The violin can wait," Fred was obdurate, "besides mother's not at home."

"Well I don't want to go, there!" cried Babs dehantly coming round to her real reason at last.

"Why don't you?" urged her brother persistently.

"Because I don't," with true feminine logic.

"You are a muff," as Fred dropped his coaxing tone and fell into that delightful freedom of criticism, that a brother uses to his sister, "that's the way with you girls; say a thing one day, and forget it the next, You've no more idea of sport than a--a cat," concluded Fred grasping wildly at the first simile that preserited itself to his mind.

There were very few people in the train, and the child looked in disappointment from one empty compartment to another

There was one occupant though, of a second class carriage drawn up right opposite to the garden... A youth, perhaps twenty years of age, immaculately attired in frock-coat and silk hat, and sitting absorbed in his paper. &

Even when time, and the ever varying dis tractions of childhood, had long obliterated the memory of that afternoon, she still felt a strange repugnance to watching the trains that went by,

The thought of what the fairy-prince was missing maddened her, and she wondered how she could rouse him from his shocking lethargy, a

She picked up a small pebble, and held it poised for a moment in her fingers. Then the remembrance of all the terrible stories she had heard about children who had thrown harmless looking little pebbles, and killed each other came to her mind, and she shudderingly let the stone slip through her fingers to the ground.

And as she cast her eyes round for some more suitable projectile, they lit on the garden squirt standing upright at attention, In its bucket of water.

The spirit of mischief had given place to a rippling glance of fun, in the clear brown eyes; and the waving brown hair, drawn low down over the cars, framed a picture that the average man found worth looking upon a second time, and yet again.

Barbara and her brother of course were there. Fred was staying on shore to pass his second engineer's exam, and Barbara while constantly urging him to assiduous study, never failed to avail herself of his escort, where chance of amusement pre- sented itself the folk of Hongkong.

Barbara ran up the garden and seized the syringe. It seemed to her as the drew the water into the tube that it gave vent to a sigh of relief, that she had thought of the proper means of robsing the fairy prince
