EXPELLED BUT NOT DISGRACED

The bows of Frc>hhcld school,
at which frank Leicester had
been but Il few weeks, hardly
knew what to make OF that young
gentleman. Born and reared III
Texas. he had all the character
Istics of Il typical American boy,
though his parents were English.
Dying within Il few weeks of
each other, they bad left him to
the care of his relatives in the old
country who placed him under the
care of Doctor Polluck, to have
him fitted for English commercial
life.
He apparently neither knew nor
cared anything about cricket or
ivcS; but at running and swim
ming he had proved himself equal
to the best; an9 he was already
looked TO for IDEAS when mischief
vi. brewing
Ills latest proposal was causing
a great commotion. Imbucd with
the Yankee spirit, he wanted 10
celebrate the Fourth Of July.
Like true Brilons, the whole
school had at first objected. But
when Frank vaguely limited at the
many new fireworks he wouId
show them how TO make, and
dilatcd on the fun they could have
with them at thn, time of th,
year, their patriotism cooled, and

The whole school turned,
startled by this sudden interrup-
ton.
Twas Pelling, stung INTO
speech by the manly way IN when
Leicester was taking the blame.
"What does this mean Pei

Polling flushing and paling by
turns, looked Il ptablc object.

This Is most extraordinary"

And, fairly overcome by the
terrible result of his spite, he
burst ont blubbcring.
The boys evident distress so
moved Doctor Polluck that he
said little more. Sending tho
two boys TO his study, he dismiss
ed the school.

seen standing together away from

By this time the efforts of the
firemen were meeting with their
reward; and though it was a hard
struggle, they managed to keep
the fire from tie rest OF the
building.
Just before midnight the flames
were finally subdued, and the
boys sent the tiremen off with
three hearty cheers.
