CHAPTER VI


And so the little story may be brought
to an end, for story should end and
should begin like the frieze of a Greek
temple, where at one end you see the
| head of a horse and at the other end
see the tail of another, but where you
know nothing Of the bodies of these two
horses. This little Silas could and
would do anything which Will Mallory
bade him do, and it ended oddly
enough after two years in Wills taking
him with him when he went to college
at Cambridge, for the little boy de-
lighted in his singing He still had that
clear soprano voice, and he had ten
derness and sympathy which compelled
him to sing with the spirit. Will had
laid up $500 by his printing and was
to enter as a special student at Har-
ward. Little Silas took on So, as his
mother said, at the idea of parting that
she recollected that she had cousin in
Cambridge and, with Wills full ap-
proval, sent the little fellow down to
spend the winter with her, that he need
not be mile away from his best friend.
The society of an academy or college
town is always simple-that is to say,
the best people find each other ont and
come together. Will Mallory was popu-
lar with the fellows because he was
good natured, obliging and simple, part
ly because he was not afraid in football,
and, though he did not pretend to be
much of IL baseball man, could take his
! place az substitute. With the older
people in the college he was a favorite
for the same reasons. He Confessed
ignorance" when he was ignorant; he
listened well; he bore hand when he
was asked to; he would sing if Mrs.
Bentley asked him to sing; he would
play tennis if anybody failed to appear
he did not insist always on having his
own way. His two years, and Silas' as
well, passed only too quickly.
Then, by what we call an accident,
they came to an end before he had really
finished the course he had planned.
Silas was reading one of Mr.. Steven
sons stories one evening when Commo-
dore Stetson called Commodore Stetson
had invented new arrangement for an
electric signal on board ship, and he
had come to consult Mr.. Marrer, Silas'
uncle, about the details, for Mr.. Marrer
was an electrician. AS always, Silas
paid much more attention to what other
people were saying than to his own
business. So he heard the commodore
say that he wanted the new "call''
finished, if possible, within month,
for that he had been ordered to the East
Indian station and that they should all
sail before the 10th of July. Silas could
not help thinking how nice it would be
to go with him, to have chance at
breadfruit and onagras and Holsters,
Ruava and other luxuries of Swiss
Family Robinson, but he said nothing.
Will had made him understand that ne
must hold his tongue; that "the dumb
mans orders still increase
Even when the commodore went ON
to say, II am going to see Mr.. Bolles,
the secretary, to see whom he can give
me for an amanuensis or private clerk, +"
Sllas bit his tongue and said nothing
lyon see, said this nice, hearty sailor,
Il want a young fellow with his eyes
open, who has smack at language,
who can write better hand than | and
make better sketch than /, and gen

YES" said Sil0s. "Wtu yOu shOlr nle?''
tleman he must be- too, who can keep
secrets and keep out of quarrels with
the midshipmen and the ships officers. "
Even then Silas, in agony with biting
his tongue, said nothing.
But as soon as the commodore had
gone, when Mr.. Marrer came back from
the door, Silas cried with all his pent
up eagerness, "Why cannot Will NAL
lory go with him?" And his uncle said:
=" He is Just the right person. Why did
| never think of him? But it is not too
late, Silas. And he sat down and
wrote note to Commodore Seetson
and even put on a special delivery stamp
to please Silas, and Silas took it to the
postoffice.
And they all sailed together. The
last heard of them they were lowering
boat at the opening of Falcon bay, on
Mr.. Swiss Family's island. The lonei
tude is 1856 degrees west and the lati-
tude degrees north. When they come
home, l will tell you more. .

CHAPTER III.

IF that Will Mallory was my boy,
he would not be going so much to them
steeplechases and football matches and
ball clubs" This was the remark of old
Mr.. Williston, a we'll preserved army
contractor, who lived in a large house
with six Ionic pillars, a little beyond
the Mallory's as you drive out of town
ON the Plainfield road.
Similar suggestions were made to
Mrs. Mallory at the sewing society and
by one and another visitor. The mild
police" of the neighborhood was in
deed taken with good deal of surprise
at Wills long absence from school.
But one October night Will and his
brothers had an opportunity to put the
boot on the other leg and for the rest
of the autumn the mild police" had
nothing to say unfavorable to athletic
exercises.
Little Jacob Mallory was sent to bed,
snwillipgly enough, about half past s
O'Clock. His mother was reading "The

CHAPTER II.

| have told this incident in the ear
lier life of Will Mallory because good
deal depended on it, He staid at home
day his mother told him that it would
be better for him not to go to school,
but to be ready for errands to the mill
and elsewhere and to be on hand when
DR.. Morton came.
When Will went to school to bring
home his books, business which has a
certain sacred aspect in a large school,
the boys received the announcement
that he was to stay at home for the rest
of the term with general disapproval,
but Will explained that as long as they
chose he would be captain of the foot
ball team and play with the nine, and,
though his half holidays and whole
holidays would not be as regular as
theirs, he hoped to cooperate still in
most of the enterprises they all had ON
hand for the public good and their own
entertainment, and this promise he well
maintained.
So there began for the boy six happy
and eventual months. He was his ia.
theirs companion and friend. The arm
got well and was only little stiff, but
even after il was we'll enough for Mr..
Mallory to write Will did not 20 back
to school. His father had learned too
we'll what was the pleasure of having
such companion at his side. He took
Will with him on his rides up the valley
to see the lumbermen. He took him
with him when he went to caucuses and
to the town meeting. As they rode to-
gether he explained to Will his plans
about the business.
AS for book learning, the boy father
made him take an hour in the morning
and an hour before tea for regular read
ing. Then there was something to read
at hand always when he was sitting in
the Office, and he was not permitted to
loaf or to waste time.
In his English training he had his
own types and his work as a printer.
he seemed to have more leisure for
these than he had had before. 1t was
hot really SO, but he made his typeset-
ting pay in," as he said, with his 9TH
er work
1t was in setting his own type, in
reading his own proof and in printing

CHAPTER V

1t had always been dimly understood
that Will Mallory was to go to school
again when the spring term came.
"Ten weeks in spring," his father said.
THAT is what / had, and do not want
you to get out of touch with the other
boys. You are no better than they are,
il you are no worse" he said fondly
and proudly-fondly, for he and Will
were like two brothers now.
So Will appeared at school one day
with those books which had been car
ried away after his fathers accident
The teacher hardly knew what to do.
He had to take Will. The constitution
of the United States provided for that.
But where to put him? He was an inch
or two taller than the boys he had been
classed with before, yet he had never
"analyzed" line of Milton and had no
idea where Cape Bryan Martin was.
Still, it would be ridiculous to put such
a big fellow in with the little boys who
were yet to learn about Cape Bryan
Martin. Why, lie was too big for their
desks and chairs! So Will was put with
the Bryan Martin boys, was charged to
study extra and r2ke up certain implied
conditions" and their leaders, on the
other hand, were charged in private not
to make fun of his ignorance, because it
was not his fault that he was behind.
Much did the teacher know about the
business. There was no danger that any
boy in that class would make fun, of
Will Mallory.
And to Will the whole thing came
with new zest, which he had forgot
ten. He found that he listened to the
teachers explanations, which used to
seem such bore. He brought to the
matter certain businesslike interest
which surprised the other boys, but he
very soon made them fall in with him,
as popular boy, leader to all.
Wills father went to the legislature
that winter, and this meant for Will no
daily companion. But he had many
irons in the fire, and he did not mean
to let them cool. His mother was Der
suadable, ani she agreed that while no
