flower?"

"If I can see one," said Aunt Stanshy, laughing.

"There," said Pip, triumphantly holding up the lonely chrysanthemum. "One
thent only! Thomething rare!"

"I'll buy it, and here is the cent."

"Cath!" sang out Pip, in tones of command, addressed to a supposed
cash-boy.

No one responded.

"Cath!"

"Why, you are the cash-boy," said the president, "and you bring the money
to me, for I am the cashier."

"I tend a counter," squeaked Pip. A serious misunderstanding as to
positions in the fair here threatened to arise, but it was all averted by
the obliging Tony, who undertook to transport all bullion from the tables
to the cashier's office.

There now appeared the president's little sister, "Callie Doodles," as she
was familiarly called.

"O, boys, she's got a cent, for mother promised it to her! She isn't a
nail-one!" shouted her brother.
