Instead of saying, "I should really
like to 20, but If you cannot give con-
seot, dear mother, will try my best to
be content to stay"-instead of saying
and feeling so, he behaved in the way
which Ihave described, just as too many
boys do. George was fourteen, and
with fourteen years experience Of one
the best mothers, ono would have
thought better of him. But he was boy.
What can you expect of boys? So say

found thorns in his pillow. He could

Tom dropped large, fine red apple

The other boy nudged him, with q

A little girl next passed.. She spied

and picked up stick; he poked the
stick through the rails, and rolled the
apple near enough to pick it up. Turn.

No.
He came up the steps and rang the

the polls at Old Store were closed not
