Captain Brownson's demands.
The trouble began over the hazing OF
young Robert H. Pearson several weeks
ago, during which his jaw was broken in a
fight with Third Glass Man William F. Bias
dell, and eliminated on Saturday, when
Pearson handed in his resignation, stating
that he was unable to stand the constant
running to which he was subjected. Cap
tain Brownson then told the third-class men
that he earnestly desired them to go on
record against hazing in any form. The
class refused to do so, bringing upon itself
entire restriction of liberties.
At the meeting tonight Lieutenant Com
mander w. s. Benson, senior assistant to
the commandant, was asked to be present.
He talked the matter over with the boys.
and they decided to agree to the superin-

The resignation Of Midshpman Pearson
was today forwarded to the Navy Depart

his oldest son.

Peyton attempted to speak. but before he
could do so barrow grasped him roughly by

But with strength surprising in one so
slender Peyton dragged himself away. His
blade flashed in the air, as he partly drew
1t from the scabbard.

men"
You are right. SIR said the young man

that the story of the scene had been re-
peated by those who had participated in it,
and he had become a marked man.
He reused himself here, lifted his head
up, summoned his strength again and
walked boldly forward. People ran to the
doors of stores as he came along the street
and stared after him, and there were wo-
men who looked at him with pity Those
whom he had known intimately in days
gone by avoided his gaze, turned aside as
he approached, or else resolutely gave him
the cut direct, looking him full in the face
and giving no sign Of recognition.
He was not entirely obliyious to the sur
roundings. either. and there was forced
upon him the necessity for a decision about
what ordinarily would have been a trivial
matter Sometimes trivial matters in great
crises save US from going mad. The train
for the north which he had resolved to
take did not leave until evening. 1t was
not more than 2 o'clock now, and he did
not know where to go, where to stay, dur
ing the intervening hours. He had elmost
reached the limit of his strength. Unless
he could get some resting place he would
collapse In the street.
There was another duty to be done. He
must go to the bank. The little fortune
his father had spoken of was rightfully his
own. 1t had come to him through his
grandfather. aud he was resolved to take
it. A messenger from his fathers place
had passed him on the road, and the mat

He stepped out Of the bank door and look
ed hopelessly up and down the street. There
was the Battle House the principal hotel

resolved to do so. He noticed that the men

Tut. TUT. boy You will never be a

the old man; busting out Of the room.
Peyton followed him presently. As he
stepped into the hall the door giving upon
the porch was suddenly thrown oben and a
voice which be knew called out:
DR. Venosste! Oh, Dr. Venosste. Ara

Peyton stepped forward into the door

came In, his venerable face aglow with
feeling.

"Colne with me-"
"I don't believe-you know-what 1 have

The doctor spoke kindly, but the truth OF

'Oh. Doctor" said Peyton, 81 don't want

My lad, live to get some value to your

But Pink had gone to Mary Amman and
the girls were clasped In each others arms.
Pink was crying bitterly. but Mary Amman

with a look scarcely less resolute and in
finitely more bitter on her face than that
on Peyton's.
Listen. sir" said his father "You have
made your choice. You must go. l wish
neither to you nor hear OF you, and
to us. Your name shall not be mentioned in

pray God 1 may never see your face

A low groan burst from Boyd Peyton's
lips. He buried his face in his hands and
shook like a woman.
"A horse Is at your service, continued
the colonel impassively. ito carry you into
town. Leave him at the stable, as usual. y
II will take nothing, sir answered Pey-
ton, at last nerving himself to face the
yitable-"nothing but the uniform and
the sword l wear. I won't ask any OF you
to break fathers command to speak to
me-" he continued, looking at the rest
through misted eyes. II will just say good
bye to you all, and may God bless you! I
dare not ask father to bless me. You don't
know how terrible this has been to me, but
I am a Peyton, too. I have my ideas Of
honor, and I must abide by them. Miss
Mary, I am as earth beneath your feet:
but, believe me, l have truly loved you,
and shall love you to the very end"
There was little silence. No one an
swered and for moment no one moved.
Finally Bob barrow swung on his heel and
deliberately turned his back on his former
friend The affection between them was
gone the friendship forever broken. Mary
Amman stared at him, her lip still curling.
Pink averted her head. That silence, that
CHASTITY silence, was broken only by the
sobs of his sister and by the thin, low moan
Of his mother.
'.Oh. Willis" she cried to her husband,
che is my boy! Do not drive him off!''
For Gods sake. SIR said the colonel
furiously, IL you have vestige of the in
stinct of a gentleman left In you, go!''
Peyton turned away instantly and slowly
descended the steps, each football upon the
boards sounding like deathknell to those
left behind.
"By heaven" cried Willis impetuously as
his brother stepped rigidly down the path,
II can't stand It. and wont. -"
He sprang down the steps, and in mo-
ment reached his brothers side.
Goodbye. Boyd. old fellowr' he cried.
II can't let you go without word. We
don't think as you do, but we know you
will do your duty, and win say God bless
you for father and mother and Pink and
myself. God bless you. and some day 1t
will come out all right."
There were tears in the boys eyes, He
put his arm about his brothers neck and
