for a week the cobbler was so busy.
Annie, of the same family, who knew
nothing of this, sent hers, and said they
must be done by the next day.
The cobbler said if th -
two pairs again to do at o
their heads together with his lasts, and
then give them a good "welting." Hewas
the only cobbler in the village, or he would
not have been so independent.
Franky had often watched the boot-
maker at his work; so he coaxed his
father to let him have some money to buy
tools and leather, in order that he and
his sisters might play at making boots
and shoes.
He set to work, and they had such fun!
Annie came and asked young master
nobbler what time it was; and Franky
pretended to hit her on the head with a
last, and said it had "just struck one."
Then he measured her, and cut out his
vamps, sides, linings, welts, soles, and
heels. Next he made a soft-like sock of
leather. This he turned inside out, and
did his best to sew on a welt.
The boot was turned out right again,

young lad could not do this without the
help of a cobbler, to sliew him what
and how to do each portion of his boot-
making; but the man was frightened at
having so apt a pupil, and begged pardon
for his former neglect; for though they
were not all they might have been; they
were boots.
"I see," said he "if some people
neglect their work, there are sure to be
others about who will soon leave them
no business to do."
After this, he would sit for quite half a
day at his work without going round to
the "Cobblers Arms." Some people
said it was the wax that got on his seat
that made him do it; but I do not think
it was.

Let's have some shrimps and marma-

room.
Frank and George laughed at him and
told him he might buy some shrimps for a
sauce and the marmalade would do for the
pastry. They went to work, and Frank
gave his orders quite like a grand cook.

So they went to work.
Richard looked at the lady very sharp,
particularly with his right eye,-you can

his pocket and held it in front of him as
if it were an eye-glass; and Frank put his
