And when he had dropped the money

There was great lump in Simcons

was already thinking better of his de-
termination to burn the schoolhouse
when he happened to turn his head and
saw one Of Mr.. Carvcr's skyrockets. A
red nag would have been quite as pleas
ing 70 u mad bull. He shut his teeth
very hard and hurried on to the school
house.
The bottle he carried contained lxero-
sone oil, and in addition to this he had
brought with him some matches and o

in the street that day after some hoy
had burnt all his frecrackcrs and had
no further use for it. Simeon opened a

IL to make little speech before he
closed the school for the summer. and
on this occasion he did not vary his
rule. lie told the old story OF the early
struggle in this country for independ-
ence. He told of all the taxes. battles
and humiliation to which the British
government had subjected the people
in this country. He fought the battles of
Lexington and Bunker Hill over again.
He told Of the privation. the cruelty,
the cold by which the American sol
dicrs suffered to make the United States
an independent government And then
he got down to that celebrated declara-
ton of independence which is the key
note Of our great government. which de-
clares all men equal and which rings
with self-rcspcct, justice and independ-
encc from beginning 10 end. Poor
slowntroddcn Simeon Sulks listened and
began to think better of himself be-
cause he was an American and entitled
to some rights!
When Mr.. Horace Carver odd of the
signing Of the declaration OF indcpcnd-
ence on that famous Fourth Of July in
1870, he said that it was verybody's
duty to celebrate the anniversary of this
great event He meant TO give the
girls and bows of his school treat on
the night Of the Fourth. lie had
bought lot Of fireworks for his chill
drcn, and they would be set of on
Playfair hill after eight O'Clock.
Every scholar in the school was invited
to be there to witness the display
every scholar with one exception.
Simeon SullSs, he said, had been an
annoying and disappointing scholar all
the year. lie had failed to learn his
lessons, had been sullcn under reproof,
had wasted the teachers time and dis
tractcd his fcllow-scholars Consc-
Quently he had recommended that the
trustees should not permit Simeon to
return to the school after the vacation.
and they had agreed to the expulsion.
Certainly they had learned from Mr..
Carver that the boy was not a proper
companion for clever scholars or good
children. And In addition TO the dis
grace that he had brought upon Sim
con Sulks Mr.. Carver had another pun
ishment for him. The teacher said that
the boy would not be allowed to come

tie did not reflect that this waif had
never had "A chance TO learn. and it new
or dawned upon his superior intelli-
gcncc that this fricndlcss child could
have any pride or any feelings which
he should respect
Mr.. Horace Carver had little daugh-
ter At home. Every day she played
school with dozen dolls OF high and
low degree. Some Of them were made

Gratis Of the school Then there were
china dolls. and one gray rubber doll
that was considered the Ounce, and
which received all the punishment that
his severe young schooimistress could
inflict. She hammered the ru ober doll
with ferule, She slapped and pounded
it until she was tired, and occasionally
she hung it to bedpost by its neck.
She was a veritable ''chip of the old
block" and was conducting her school
very much as her father managed his.
Simeon Sulks was the rubber doll in
Mr.. Carvcr's school.
do not mean that the austere gen.
tlcman hung his scholar up by the
neck, but he pounded him without
provocation. He went further; he con-
tinually prophesied that the state
would some day be compelled to hang
Simeon Sulks by the neck, because of
his total depravity. And yet the lad
never did anything worse than miss his
lessons, and To fail to satisfactorily ex-
plain why he missed them. He was
continually being piled with questions
that were too suddenly asked or were
too profound TO penetrate to his slow
intelligence.
Why he stayed in the school no one
imagined. He did not appear like one
who had An inordinate thirst for knowl-
edge. No one in the world tried to in
1ucnce him to study, nor gave him the
slightest encouragement to continue
his efforts in that direction. While he
was reciting, all other lessons were sus-
pended; the scholars snickered or open
~ laughed at his blunders, and the
teacher scoldcd or punished without re-
straint.
The boy endured this treatment with
logged patience until the school year
was at its close. lie had so often been
told that he was everything wicked
that it would scarcely have been sur
prising if he had come TO believe it, and
to live up to his reputation. But he
did not believe 1T. Deep beneath his
reticence was conviction that he de-
served better treatment than he was re-
ceiving. He had learned TO hate the
schoolmaster who punished him for his
ignorance. He had silently endured a
great deal of suffering. but he was lo,
SO obtuse as he appeared. lie had suf-
fercd more from ridicule than from
Horace Carver's fertile; but the finish
ing trial Of his patience came on the
third of July-the last day of school
before the summer vacation.

Fourth The fireworks were not for
him. la spite OF all the ine speech
about equal rights he was 70 share none
OF the pleasure that would be given his
mates. For the first time he openly
resented the treatment he was receiv-
ing. He stood up his face flaming with
anger and shame. and walked out Of
the schoolroom.
On the night Of the Fourth all the
children in Ammoniavilie. save one,
went up to Playfair hill. There was
deal Of enthusiasm. The fireworks
were hurried. for breeze had risen
which portended shower, and the per-
Torrance must needs be over before
the Eaip began. While the crowd was
on the hill Simeon Sulks came out OF
the inn and went slowly down the
road Under one arm he carried a
bottle wrapped in piece of newspaper.
His face was very white, and he was
as profoundly agitated as his nature
permitted His blood ran sluggishy,
but deep down in his inner conscious
ness had slumbered a spirit OF revenge.
and tonight, for the first time in his
life, it controlled him. He had reached
. crisis in his history.
He had determined to burn down the
schoolhouse. As he walked along bent
on this evil mission. he recalled all the
hardships he had experienced within its
walls. What had he done in the year he
had attended that school 10 warrant the
treatment he had received? He had
tried to learn, and IL learning had come
harder to him than to the others that
was his misfortune, not his fault
And the browning acts Of cruelty had
been to prohibit him from seeing the
fireworks and to expel him from the
school What harm would he have done
il he had been allowed TO go to Pla yfair
hill? If this was a free and indepen-
dent country then he would like to know
why he was not allowed TO see the cele-
bration of its independence with the
others? And he wasn't to be allowed
to go to school again! Well. it would
be a good while before there was any
school to go TO- for he was going TO
burn the old schoolhouse down. The
people in Ammoniavills were very slow
about spending money. 1t might be
many long day before they would build
another schoolhouse, and in the mean
time Horace Carver would go without
his salary. Simeon was revengeful
enough TO rejoice at that prospect.
No doubt there would be pretty
blaze on Playfair hill, but there would
be a bigger one on Schoolhouse com
mon. And the people would come to
see the latter blaze without any invita-.
ton. Everybody would be trying to
put out the fire. Well, they would not
be able to put it out The school
house was an old rat trap of building
that would burn like finder, and there
wasn't big hose or fire engine in the
town.
Look out, lad" somebody shouted to
him.

responded to the name in sort OF dull
fashion, yet with some faint glimmer Of
intelligence. What his surname was no
one learned; for the man abandoned
him and disappeared before anysnc
had become interested in tho question,
and the boy appeared wholly unable, or
sulhily unwilling, TO answer any in
quiries about himself. There was no
police or detective force in this little
hamlet, and the one constable who was
expected TO solve all dark mysteries and
make all arrests in Ammoniaville never
learned anything about the past his
tory Of this child. Owing to some pc
culiarity discovered in his disposition,
the boy was nicknamed "Sulks;" aud as
''Simeon Sulks' he was known forever
after.
He was about FIVE years old when he
was brought to Ammoniaville, and he
was a plain, cjected-looking child, not
particularly bright. Life must have
already become serious to him, for he
shrank distrustfully from everybody
who approa ched him. He never con-
fdcd in anyone. nor became attached
TO any human creature. No one Thought
of adopting him; but he lived on at the
tavern because no one was sufficiently
interested in his presence to drive him
away. lie slept somewhere in the
building-gcnerally curled up in a
corner of the kitchen-and he ate such
scraps as the servants chose to give
him. His wardrobe consisted OF odd
pieces of clothing which the guests of
the inn CHANGED to give him in payment
for the small services he rendered
them. He was not apt at anything,
but in time he learned boot blacking,
and he could hold horse long before
he could hold fork. In course of time
he had the oldest collection Of old
clothes that ever disgraced garnet.
However. when he was twelve years
old he had managed to collect what
answered for a suit Of boys clothing,
and, clothed in these habilimcnts, he
drifted into the Ammoniaville district
school.
place; indeed. II was rich in nothing but
endless. unceasing gossip and nick

Hartshornville. in honor Of q certain
Mr. Hartshorn, who had founded the
village and who owned the only factory
II contained; but the townspeople could
not leave the name alonc they changed
il to Ammoniavillc, and SO it remained.
1t had one school where the sternest
Of schoolmastcrs made life miserable
to his scholars from nine until four
o'clock five days of every week, and
succeeded in making them hate learn
ing as much as they were taught TO
hate the scribes and Pharisees. And
IL was into this school that Simon Sullks
drifted and enrolled his remarkable
name.
Mr.. Horace Carver was the school
master. lie had white. cold face,
pair Of appalling spectacies which did
not hide his steel-gray eyes, and
mouth that closed like trap. Simeon
shot glance at him when he entered
the school for the first time. and was
never known to look ut him again.

the boys dullness. and he riliculed
