MILKMAN—THE LARK
Ile hers blue eyes, rosy cheeks, a
pug nose, and two front teeth knocked
out. I suppose there was a time when
he tried to appear serious and re-
sponsible), but he must have given up
the attempt as a laid job, and now
nothing can wipe off the perpetual
smile and good nature from his inap-
priately young-looking cheeks. Noth-
ing, did I say?

something that changes his gay sing-
ing into a torrent of earnestly eta.
quent apology, a most terrible some-
thing that can happen to a conscienti-
ous milkman, namely oversleeping.
Usually when we hear the energetical-
ly whistled selections from the most
popular operas , accompanied by a
happy clinking of milk bottles, we
turn on the other side with a con-
tented reflection that we still have
a good hour and a half before facing
the unfriendly chill of a winter kitch-
en. But there are times when no
whistle is heard and, upon getting up,
we find no milk at the &sir. Soon we
are aware of a clinking, Oat the usual
gay tune, but a shy, embarrassed
clinking and we hear the faint sound
of contact as the bottle's are cautious-
ly placed upon the tiled floor. If we
open the door quickly enough, we spy
a guilty figure creeping to the other
doors.
"What was the matter today, Mr.
Milkman, did you oversleep?"
Mr. Milkman starts suddenly and
blushes like a naughty schoolboy who
is caught placing tacks on the teach-
er's chair. Then the torrent of apolo-
gies bursts forth.
Ilia big day is Wednesday when, af-
ter all his bottles are delivered, he
appears at 10 o'clock in the minting;
a pencil behind his ears and a note-
book in his hand, ready to collect the
price of his week's toil. He does not
whistle now, the task on hand de-
mands due dignity, nor does he blush,
for the milk is never late on Wednes-
day mornings. He enjoy' the oppor-
onity to be leisurely and exchange
'vilifies with his customers.
"How are you, Mrs. Gersten? Chit-
dren all in school? My wife has a
oil hard time taking my little troy to
schnol in the morning."
For he has a wife and a SOD. It is
a real disappointment.
We like to
think of him at his mother's baby.
We like to imagine him drinking his

fesses to three quarts) and ' inn , t ,
