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 large house
with six Ionic pillars, 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
polics" Of the neighborhood was in.
deed taken With good deal Of surprise
1t Wills long absence from school.
But one October night Will and his
brothers had m 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,
unwillingly enough, about half past 8
O'Clock. His mother was reading "The
Black ArrowI aloud to the older boys.
1t was a moonlight night, and before
Jacob went to bed he stood looking out
Of the south window of. his room, in b
moment, with a certain impetuosity
which BELONGED to the family. he dashed

Will was not in the Sunday school.
He liked to practice with the choir, for
his voice had not yet changed, and Mr..
Rudolph fattered him little and told
him that he liked to have him sing in
the alto part. Now the choir met for
practice in the half hour before service,
when the Sunday school was still in the
vestry. So Will had begged off from the
Sunday school and sang with the choir.
As he went into church one day a
little early he found three small boys
hanging round on the steps. "What's
upp" said Will. One Of them looked
cross, one looked sheepish, and the third
only said, Teachers mad and turned
us out--zif wanted to stay inl" And he
pretended to laugh at such an absurdity.
Will took no notice, but went up into
the choir gallery and did his best in
Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, risel
But before the rehearsal was over he
excused himself, went down stairs and
after little found the three banished
boys in the graveyard spelling outtte
letters OH an old Campernoon' tomb.

you wanted to learn how to PRINT"
eyes" said Silas eagerly. "Will you
show me?' "That's what I've come
for" said Will. II have got large job
for this week, and if you will come
round at teatime and eat some crackers
on the way, so we need not stop for tea,
you shall help me-" And then, turning
easily to the other two boys, he said,
"And you can come, too, if you like"
Now, each of these three boys had
sort of currish idea that he really want
cd their imbecile help in his printing,
In fact, all the time Will had been sing
ing "Rise, crowned with light and
"a charge to keep have" he had been
thinking that these three boys were 60
ing to the dogs as fast as they could go,
and he was wondering what he could
do to save them. To the three little out
laws it was great compliment to be
invited anywhere by tho captain Of the
boys football team, and they were glad .
ly on hand on Monday evening. They

eyes" he said to his mother, II do
not like to give up the choir practice,
but if l do not sacrifice something
thereiis no good. Some time will have
them in the choir"
Sure enough, before long the three
outcasts from the Sunday school were
the three best behaved boys in Mr.. Ru-
dolph's choir, and, for the pieces they
had had a chance to have, three of his
best soprano singers, and when in the
spring there was reorganization of
the Sunday school and the sessions
were put at the end of service, when
Will was appointed assistant librarian,
he made Nathan Clarke, one of the
black trio, his first runner, and Miss
Donnegan was glad to take the other
two into her class without asking why
they had been expelled from Miss Da-
Wis.,.
All this had to be told, because it &C.
counts for certain devotion which ST.
las Turgot had for Will ever afterward,
resembling indeed the devotion which
man Friday had for Robinson Crusoe.

CHAPTER II.

have told this incident in the ear-
Iier life Of VIII Mallory because good
deal depended on it. He staid at home
that day almost Of course. The next
day his mother told him that it would
be better for him not to 60 to school,
but to be ready for errands to the mill
and elsewhere and to be on hand when
DIR. Morton came.
When Will went to school to bring
home his books, business which has a
certain sacred aspect in large school,
the boys received the announcement
that he was to stay at home for the rest
of the term with general disapproyal,
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 we'll
maintained.
So there began for the boy six happy
and eventual months. He was his ia
theirs companion and friend. The arm
got we'll and was only little stiff, but
even after it was we'll enough for Mr..
Mallory to write Will did not go back
to school. His father had learned too
well 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 boys 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
tire 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 printer.
He seemed to have more leisure for
these than he had had before. 1t was
not 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
accurate circulars that Will learned the
corr cot use of his own language.

CHAPTER vi.

And SO the little story may be brought
to an end, for story should end and
should begin like the frieze of Greek
temple, where at one end you see the
head of 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
babe 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 aud sympathy which compelled
him to sing with the spirit. Will had
laid up $500 by bis printing and was
to enter as a special student at Har-
ward. Little Silas "took on So" as bis
mother said, at the idea Of parting that
she recollected that she had cousin in
Cambridge and, with Willis 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 out 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 baseball man, could take his
place as substitute. With the older
people in the college he was favorite
for the same reasons He confessed
ignorance" when he was ignorant; he
listened we'll; 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
we'll, 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.
SON g 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 a month,
fer 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 60 with him, to have chance at
breadfruit and onagras and Holsters,
guaya and other Injuries Of "Swiss
Family Robinson but he said nothing.
Will had made him understand that he
must hold his tongue; that 1.-THE dumb

CHAPTER. ".

II 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 I had, and I do not want
you to get out of touch with the other
boys. You are no better than they are,
if 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" a line Of Milton and had no
idea where Cape Bryan Martin was.
Still, it would be ridiculous to put such
big fellow in with the little boys who
were yet to learn about Cape Bryan
Martin. Why, he was too big for their
desks and chairs! So Will was put with
the Bryan Martin boys, was charged to
study extra and make up certain implied
conditions" and their leaders, OH 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

Will Mallory.
And to Will the whole thing came
with new zest, which he had forgot
ten. HI found that he listened to the
teachers explanations, which used to
seem such a 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, a 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 per-
suadable, and she agreed that while he
kept tout of mischief" he need not 80
to school. This was his joke, for the
boy had quite too much that was Of use
on his hands to have any time for mere
skylarking or tomfoolery.
What Will did was to go to see the
publisher Of The Argus. He made a
bargain with him to come at 8 every
evening and set type till 10, when, ex-
cept on ordinary occasions, The Argus
went to press, and Will would not
make the bargain till tho foreman
agreed that Silas Turgot might come at
8 and stay till 8, that Will should cor
rect his proof for him and that the boy
should be paid for what he did. This
was the kingdom of heaven for the boy,
and Will kept him to his other duties by
threatening to take him away if he
failed. Few men in the Office could set
type faster than Will. He promised his
mother that while this engagement
lasted he would sleep an hour every aft
ernoon, and SO it proved that when
Willis father came home "for good" in
June Will had $3.50 in bank as the up
shot Of his winters typesticking.
