The Daily Short Story
TOM KEMPER.


Tom Kemper was the only scholar
who had the distinction of being adj
dressed by the principal as mister. Be
tween the two there was n formality
which puzzled the school. Sometimes
when awaiting recitations in one OF
those hours when every scholar was
intent at his books and even the drone
was at work l saw the principal gaze
at Tom Kemper as man will look at
something which he cannot fathom.
In those days person with red hair
usually had the same sort of consid-
Grafton that one bestows upon a pow
der mill. In Tom Kemper's case there
was this perhaps fear is
a better woodland yet no one at school
ever suffered from Tom Kemper's sup
posed storehOuse of passion.
One morning after the principal had
called the roll and repeated the Lords
Prayer he said lie wanted the atten-
ton OF the school before the first reci-
tatfon. The night before, he said, he
had occasion to be down town later
than usual. and on his return he stop
ped in the schOolroOm OF the academy.
IL was dark He met man who crap
struggle. The unknown man wore a
visor In the bout this was torn aside.
As the unknown man jumped from
window the principal saw his face in
the light cast from a street lamp.
1t has been many years since the in
cident, but l recall some of the words
OF the principal.
Il do not care TO mention his name"
he said. Il wish l had not followed
him as he went to the window. After
he was gone l lighted my lamp and
found that my desk had been rifled.
Nothing was gone, but all was con-
fusion. The man who did this, the one
whom 1 met last night in this room, Is
here this morning at his desk. 1 shall
not mention his name, but lie must
know that his further presence here
will be obnoxious. The first class in
Latin exercises"

quickly. The school scarcely reaIlzed
IT, AS the class went into recitation
Tom Kemper, with his books in q
strap, passed out, Holding his high hat
gracefully before him as he walked
down the aisle.
None of us knew at the time what 1t
meant. None knew why the incident
was hushed so quickly. But Tom
Kemper did not suffer in the estima-
ton of the community.
Has it ever occurred to you that
war is not the hell which Union gen.
eral said 1T was: that but for a war
now and then, and especially civil
war. there would be more crime?
Our civil war afforded thousands an
opportunity TO end feuds which would
have ended eventually, it is true, but
in way that would have shattered
society and wrecked confidence. For
such as have feuds war is not hell.
Tom Kemper was Il soldier in the
civil war. He wore the gray. Posi-
bly, he would have gone anyway, but
he did not enlist until brother OF the
principal of the school had enlisted in
the Union army. Probably each fought
for his cause, but the war was used
by both as a cover to end personal
feud. Neither. of course, had any
control over the movement of his regi-
ment. but both met in several engage
ments-once face to face. 1t was at
Shiloh. After the meeting both were
carried to the rear. Neither died.
They met again In the closing days OF
the war in what is known as the
march TO the sea" During the second
hand TO hand fight Tom Kemper was
captured. The next day his antagonist
called upon him at the guardhouse.
The hatred of each was unrclenting.
1t was agreed that the Union soldier,
then n captain, was to secure the re-
lease of Tom Kemper and that they
were 10 settle the old feud by the code
IA fight to the death. This arrange
ment, however, was frustrated at the
last moment.
In 1870 Tom Kemper. rs n stranger,
arrived in Il town which is within two
days travel from Chicago. On inquir
ing for the residence of the Rev. -,
rector of the Episcopal church. he was
Informed that the rector was dan
gerously i'll. In spite of this Tom
Kemper called. The end of the call
was different from that which Tom
Kemper had in view when he arrived

in the town. In the room where the
man of God lay passing away in that
peace which is beyond human under
standing there was. a reconciliation
which even the civil war could not
bring about.
Not long after the reconciliation the
body of a man came ashore from one
of the great lakes 1t was the body OF
Tom Kemper
The rector of the church was Tom s
antagonist in life. He was the brother
of the principal of the school with
whom Tom grappled in the schoolroom
by night.
Some years ago saw the old prin-
cipal-waiting for his roll call-and he
told me that his brother and Tom
Kemper were rivals for the love of a
girl whom | knew in the school days
mentioned. The principals brother
was the successful man. In winning
the girl the brother came in possession
OF Tom Kemper's love letters and had
placed them in the desk of the prin-
cipal. Tom Kemper's mission in the
schoolroom of the academy was TO get
these letters. The brother of the prin-
cipal knew this. but not in time to save
Tom Kemper from expulsion.
From that time until the reconcilia-
ton Tom Kemper's quarrel was with
the brother of the principal.-Chicago
