He had never been quite understood.
He was almost as much mystery to
his own folks, as he was to outsiders.
As a boy he had been among the bright
est in those branches of study in which
he had interested himSelf-such as math-
ematcs, natural history and the sciences.
But, generally speaking, he was severe
trial to his teachers, for he spent most
of his time dreaming about something
or other far from the matter in hand.
All punishment failed to disturb his nat
ural bent and it was a matter of argu-
ment when he left school whether he
was stupid or peculiar. Then he declined
absolutely to interest himself in business.
His father was getting on in years and
wanted him to enter the mercantile
house of which he was the head and
prepare himself to step into his shoes
in the days to come. But Harry pre-
ferred to be building boat. or a bicycle,
or designing a flying machine or an au-
tomobile. The water was ever his de-
light and there was no one in the town
who coufd outsail or outroW him.
'How a young fellow can moon about
on the river with no more serious con-
Germ than the way the wind blows, or
whether his pipe is lighted, Is beyond
me- his father had said. Its all right

day displays a lack of purpose which
hurts me-yes, sir. hurts me-.
Yes. dad" replied Harry smiling in d
far-away sort of manner. But, after
all, what's the use of spending so much
time doing things that don't interest one

Then the father went home and spent
a sleepless night land what is worse

of his bitter expostulatiens against the
fate that had given him son who was
an idler and a dreamer. Then another
incident happened. The boy fell in love
Little given to-society he had seemed I'M
