wrapped a piece of paper. 1t had the look
of the margin of a primer page. The paper

Emmy Lou took the paper to Aunt Cor

Aunt Katie, the prettiest aunty.

So Emmy Lou put the pencil away in the
companion and tucked it about with the
grimy slate rags, that no harm might befall
it. And the next day she took it out and
used it. But first she looked over at the little
boy. The little boy was busy. But when she
looked up again he was looking.
The little boy grew red. and, wheeling
suddenly. fell to copying digits furiously.

did she know that the male of some species

Emmy Lou merely knew that she was mis-

Nor did Emmy Lou understand why, when
Billy, having gathered his belongings to-
gether, moved across the aisle and sat down
with her. the sixty-nine laughed again.
Emmy Lou did not laugh. She made room
for Billy.
Nor did she understand when Billy treated
her to a slow and surreptitous wink, his
freckled countenance grinning beneath the
rosetted hat. 1t never could have occurred
to Emmy Lou that Billy had laid his cum
ming plans to this very end. Emmy Lou un-
derstood nothing of all this. She only pitied
Billy And presently, when public attention
had become diverted, she proffered him the
hospitality of grimy little slaterag. When
Billy returned the rag there was something
in it-something wrapped in a beautiful,
glazed, shiny bronze paper. 1t was a candy
kiss. One paid cents for six of them at
the drug store.
On the road home. Emmy Lou ate the
candy The beautiful, shiny paper she put
in her primer. The slip of paper that she
found within she carried to Aunt Cordelia
1t was sticky and it was smeared. But it
had reading on 1t.
But this is printing said Aunt Cordelia,
''can't you read it?''
Emmy Lou shook her head.
'"Try," said Aunt Katie.

But Emmy Lou, remembering cat pussy,

both that appealed to Emmy Lou.
About this time rumors began to reach
Emmy Lou. She heard that it was Febru-
! airy. and that wonderful things were Pc
culiar TO the 14th. At recess the little girls
locked arms and talked valentines. The
echoes reached Emmy Lou.

no valentine was dreadful-dreadful thing.

page, he looked up carelessly, incidentally.
1t seemed to be borne to him that Emmy
Lou was there. whereupon he nodded. Then,
as If moved by a sudden impulse, he dived
into his desk, and after ostentatiously
searching in. on. under 1t, brought forth a
pencil and held 1t up for Emmy Lou to see.
Nor did she dream that it was for this the
little boy had been there since before Uncle
Michael had unlocked the primer door.
Emmy Lou looked across at the pencil. 1t
was a slate pencil. A fine. long. new slate
pencil grandly incased for half its length in
gold paper. One bought them at the drug
store across from the school, and one paid
for them the whole of 5 cents.
Just then the bell rang. Emmy Lou got
up suddenly. But it was the bell for school
to take I'D. So she sat down. She was glad

Yesterday the third section had said, over

/ two and two are four etc.-but to-day they
said. Two and one are three, two and two

Emmy Lou wondered, four what? Which
put her behind, so that when she began
again they were saying. 1.-TWO and four are
six" So now she knew. Four is six. But
what is six? Emmy Lou did not know.
When she came back TO her desk the PEN

was gone. He belonged to the first section.

her mouth for comfort.
Nor did Emmy Lou dream, that across
the aisle, remorse was eating into a little
boys soul Or that, along with remorse,
there went the image of one Emmy Lou, de-
fenseless, pink-cheeked and smiling bravely.
The next morning Emmy Lou was early.
She was always early. Since entering the
primer class, breakfast had lost its SAVIOR
to Emmy Lou In the terror Of being late.
But this morning the little boy was there
before her. Hitherto his tardy and clatter-
ing arrival had been daily happening, pro-

copying from his primer on to his slate. The
easy, ostentatious way in which he glanced
from slate to book was not lost upon Emmy
Lou, who lost her place whenever her eyes
left the rows of digits upon the blackboard.
Emmy Lou watched the performance. And
the little boys pencil drove with furious
ease and its path was marked with -four
ishes Emmy Lou never dreamed that it was
because she was watching him that the lit

went staggering on an excursion around the
room to where sat the bucket and dipper
And on his return he came up the center
aisle between the sheep and the goats.
Emmy Lou had no idea what happened.
1t took place behind her. But there was an
other little girl who did. A little girl who
boasted curls, yellow curls in TERED rows
about her head. A lachrymosal little girl.
who affected great horror of the little boys
And what Emmy Lou failed to see was
this: The little boy, in passing. deftly lift a
cherished curl between finger and thumb
and proceed on his way.
The little girl did not fail the little boy.
In the suddenness Of the surprise she sur
prised even him by her outcry. Miss Clara
jumped. Emmy Lou jumped. And the sixty
nine jumped. And. following this, the little
girl lifted her voice in lachrymal lament.
Miss Clara sat erect. The primer class
held its breath. 1t always held its breath
when Miss Clara sat erect Emmy Lou held
tightly to her desk beside. She wondered
what it was all about.
Then Miss Clara spoke. Her accents cut
| the silence.

hung rows of feminine apparel.
Here he paused and scanned the line.
Then he paused before hat. 1t was round
little hat with silky nap and curling
brim. 1t had rosettes to keep the ears warm
and ribbon that tied beneath the chin. II
was Emmy Louis hat. Aunt Cordelia had
cautioned her to care concerning 1t.
The little boy took 1t down. There seemed
to be no doubt in his mind as to what Miss
Clara meant. But then, he had been in the
primer class from the beginning.
Having taken the hat down he proceeded
| to put it on his own shock head. His face
wore its broad and constant smile. One
would have said the little boy was enjoying
the affair. AS he put the hat on, the sixty
nine laughed. The SEVENTEEN did not. 1t was
