SO the seed of disruption was sown in
the early part OF the season and bore
fruit in manifold directions. Self-re-
straint lost its value as a factor in dis
cip!.ne, and indulgence made itself felt
in the character both of the boys and
their work. They did not dare make
open profession of renouncing old dog
mas. but one could never have known
they were the same boys to see them
gathered in nightly meeting at the

on July 4th. The Redwoods had lost
one game during the school term and
had lost it TO team the East Ends had
conquered, 50 the hope was not entire
~ unfounded.
The game of the High School league
were dign!fed by space and headlines
in the city papers and the results were
known in many homes remote from
school affiliations. The game the Red
woods had lost had been spoken OF as
"a scattering one that would OF course
be retrieved by further practice, but
retrieval had not followed as soon as
prcphes!ed. No other games had been
lost, but the playing had shown none OF
the strength of past years AMI this was
why Ned's work on Saturday had met
such rousing approval from every one
who had seen it. 1t was old-time play
ing. it renewed hopes in Redwoods'
success and made ultimate victory pos
sible. Yet il only showed more clearly
to Ned himself how demoralized things
had become. He had known all spring
that his influence was waning and that
his suggestions had less weight.
".
ut was the advent Of the Warrens that
had changed the policy of the team.
These two brothers had come from a
wealthy Western home to prepare for
college at Redwood when their fathers
illness made necessary their mothers
constant attendance in his travels, and
they were an element that brought
charm as we'll as destruction. The girls
were capuvated by their manners and
fine clothes and the boys fell under
their influence differently but quite as
effecually. They had come from a

point of view, and with the larger
knowledge came desp respect and adj
miration. His own superficial polish
seemed vulgar beside Ned's honest
plainness. He watched him perform
ing the little mental Offices of the nome
ard of the sick room and his heart was
thrilled with pride In the manliness Of
the noble fellow. Ned dignifed the
homliest duties by his care and thor
oughness and kept the home sweet with
his hearty chearfullness.
John begged TO be taken into the al
ready crowded home and to share its
burdens. and no complaint Of the
cramped ard incCnvenient living es-
capped his lips. He was happier than he
had ever been in his life for the compan
ionship of Ned was the sweetest and
most strengthening influence he had
ever known.
1t was at the close of vacation when
Frank was brought 70 school for the
first time since his illness. He came to
attend the monthly exercises when the
Assembly hall was crowded with full
attendance. There was greeting from
every side as the different classes filed
~ him and at the close of the exercises
the principal remarked that although
the penant hung on the wall Of another
High School this year he was satisfied
that Redwood had retrieved its full
losses in the recovery of Frank Warren.
The applause that met his words had
hardly subsidized when John sprang to
his feet and up the steps to the plat
form.
Mr.. CALDWELL he said in trembling
tone, Il owe you all a statement.

the boys. Tomorrow Frank and | go
home, but before we go | want to have
the chance to raise my voice in tne

cheers for Ned Larkin, the noblest fell
low in the league"
The color rose to his face as he led the
cry and hurried down the hallway TO
avoid a further display of feeling.
The impressiveness of the impulse
went through the room and the noise
subsided into painful quiet. The gray
haired principal rose from his seat and
with unsteady voice said:
''Boys, I have been in school all my
