and the other days of the week were
no less unpleasant to the boy. Tim
othy's father and his family had re-
Gently arrived from the east" which
in southern California means from
some portion of the United States
east of Denver; in Timothy's case
jt referred to southern Kansas,
where the waters of the shallow
streams grow warm early in the
summer and stay warm till late in
the fall.
Timothy found the western boys
of his own age no more than his
equals in school work, and hoped
to gain standing and to make friends
among them as he had done among
Schoolmates in the "east."
In the middle of the morning ses-
sion of the first day Timothy saw
on his desk an envelope addressed to
him. He opened it and drew forth
the enclosure. Something flew out
as the folded cardboard mclosed,
and Timothy struck at it, uttering a
Shrek worthy of the most nervous
girl in the room.
Then he discovered it was a kiss
ing-bug;" that is to say, a hairpin
and piece Of rubber so twisted to-
gether as to unwind with buzz
when taken from the envelope. Tim
othy had been startled even more
than the maker of the llissing-bug
had hoped, and there was smothered
laughter among the boys and gig

toward Timothy, William Peters
rose.

hams seat" he said. 81 thought
he would open the envelope before
the class was called to order, and
really, I didn't know that Timothy
was so timid." And the force of the
teachers reproof was lessened by the
smile he could not hide
If the matter had ended there it
would have been forgotten very
soon. But at noon VIII, who was
leader of the boys inclined to ath-
Ietic sports, declined to allow Tim
othy a place in the lineup for a
