Second Prize Story The Same, Old Story Billy was standing in the driveway, studying a worm that was busily working its way out of the apple he had been eating. His feet were far apart, his hat on the back of his head in a position which destroyed his dig- nity, and a streak of dirt across his forehead contradicted the extreme seri- ousness of his face. Suddenly, another apple grazed the uncertain hat and it fell to the ground just in time to escape the back-flying hand of Billy, who turned slowly around, looked at the apple, at the hat, and then up into the branches of the apple-tree. Say, he drawled, 'd you throw that apple? Uh-huh. Why? came from the tree. It just knocked my hat off, that's all. Say, where do you live? Never saw you before. Didn't you? Oh, Johnny, Tommief-what's your name ?-Billy? YX'ell. Billy, get out there a little farther, won't you? l can't hit you good where you are now and I've got the greenest green apple here.

And you got a lot of stuff on your waist. i'Say, William, do you think it would make any difference to me if you said I had stuff all over rr.e and my face was black? So, now, just stop lookin' at me and tell me whats your name. William Timothy Grey, Billy was standing with his hands pushed in his pockets and his eyes fixed on her face, whats yours? Peggy Little. Do you live in the house on the hill P Ye-eh. Say, did you get your name turned around? A frown marred the peacefulness of Billy's face. No, lSilly. l guess l'll call you Billy-Silly. But, come on, let's get on the top of that shed over there. You can reach the cherries dandy from there. She bounded away and was scrambling up the ladder, while Billy was sauntering over to her. Springing on the roof, she managed to get across it G
