But he got no further, for at a sign
Sans, Saunders and Lovejoy seized
him, and with a dextrous twist they
landed him directly on top of the burr
heap.
ouch! Ouch!" cried the unfortun-
ate youth, but as an attempt to rise
was accompanied by a threatening
movement on the part of his two
guardians he thought better of the
matter and continued to repose on his

You have been taken red handed in
the crime of spying and informing.
You are, therefore, to be tried, not
by a drumhead, but by a chestnut burr

Well, l eve for a moment supposed
it was honest. However, you say that

ney, that you are the %cleverest boy in

Chesney angrily, but a sudden twist
of his left arm caused his protest to
end in a cry of pain.
McChesney realized that futility Of
resistance, so without further protest
he crept through the fence with his
jailer.
Now, march, double time!" or

you what let's dots just a mile
around the edge of the field here, so
let's you and me take a turn round
and see how long it takes us. I'm
pretty good on runnin' myself, but, of
course, l can't do a mile as fast as
you."
Well" said McChesney, doubtfully,
do you think we have time before 2
o'clock?"
"Sure!" cried Shorty" drawing out
his watch, which with wise fore
thought he had turned back ten min
utes. you see, it's only twenty min
utes to 2 by my watch"
well. come on!" cried McChesney,
with sudden determination, "we'll
have to try, any howl"
Shorty" could have leaped for joy,
but not a word or look betrayed his
triumph.
well, you lead off and set the
pace" he said, and the next moment
the two boys were running lightly
over the soft grass toward the corner
of the field nearest the chestnut tree
where Shorty" and Feaster had been
caught out of bounds.
The instant that Shorty" and his
companion were under way four
watchful boys behind the drill hall
cleared at a leap the fence into the
field and went speeding across by a
short cut, toward the chestnut tree.
ooh, N.Y." suddenly cried Shorty"
ss they drew near The first turn. Just
wait a moment. Such-a-stitch--in
side!"
Instantly McChesney came to a halt,
and violently painting, approached his
companion, who was leaning on the
fence as though in severe pain.
"What's-what's the matter?" he
painted. "a stitch?"

Young McChesney was so good that
1t was likely to hurt him.
AT least that vas the verdict on the
stuckup little red headed prig by
Shorty" Carson and his particular
gang" at the Norwood Military acad-
envy. They did not specify, though,
by what mea the hurt might come.
Shorty" and Feaster had been
caught by the officer of the day out of
bounds, and in punishment therefor
they had been placed on the fourth de-
l%inquency and given delinquent guard
for two weeks. Suspicion was strong
in their minds against McChesney as
the informer, and they determined on
revenge at the expiration of the pc
riod of punishment.
Twelve days later, on Saturday af-
ternoon, as young McChesney was
lounging against a tree near the drill
hall, Shorty" sauntered carelessly
toward him.
why, hello, McCnesney!" he cried,

Where have you been keeping your

"Oh, I've been working pretty hard

Listen at that cough. Louise, how

Haven't you any judgment at all? Is

wonderingly, almost stupidity at her;

"Yes," admitted McChesney, reluc-

YES, he can do it," said McChes-
ney, sullenly.
"And jumping. Can't Saunders
jump further backward than you can
forward, hey? He won't answer,
won't he? Well, just press him down
comfortably into his seat"
The two boys made a movement to
obey.

Prisoner" suddenly cried Sans, "is
there anything you can do better than
anybody else, even if it's only shooting
marbles?"
Hes pretty good at reporting peo-
ple," suggested Feaster, but Sans
waved him aside.
Stand up!" continued the relentless
Judge. mo, you needn't bother about
getting those stickers out till you get
back to the academy. They'll keep.
Cadet McChesney, we have given you
a fair and square trial, and since you
have sworn that you did not report
your two classmates the court has
graciously decided to acquit you of the
charge. But don't try it again. One
word more. We have wasted our val
liable time in proving your inferiority
to your schoolmates from algebra up
to jumping, so just recall this pleasant
half hour the next time you are temp
ted to turn up your nose at your SUI
periors. Do you see that path? Well,
march! And if you report us"
The threat was lost on McChesney,
who was already speeding like a kill
