every hour filled with enjoyment, writes
Mary Hopkins Billingslea, in the Union
Signal. The night before returning
home, a dinner party was given in his
honor.
"a cousin whom you have not met is
coming" Hal announced. "He& Uncle
Georges SON., and a college boy. but he
never snubs his younger relatives, and
he tells jolly good stories. You can't
help liking him"
The college boy" proved to be all and
more than Hal had promised, and in the
half hour before dinner was announced,
Alan's admiration had gone out to him
in the lmpulsive manner of a boy alwayR
ready for hero worship.
The table, dazzling with silver, rare
china, and cut glass and glowing with

lavish living, when suddenly his eye"

had appeared, and his mind. well stored
with fact and precept as becomes the
loyal crusader, with a mighty effort
shook itself freq from the environment
of the hour. His clear eye darkened as
he tried to think of the right thing to
do. He had no desire to create a scene
and surely not to embarrass his uncle's
family who had showed him so much
true to his. celors.
Conversation was flowing freely, and
the waiter was pouring wine for his
neighbor. Allen quietly reached forward
and turned down his glittering glass.
The waiter hGvereG over him a moment
and then passed on, while no one seemed
to have noticed the small incident
Alan's flushed face, however, indicated
what 1t had cos him TO do the unusual
thing, and the modest boy felt for a
moment that the eyes of. all the COLL
pany were turned upon him. 1t was diff
fcult to partake of the delicacies before
him. He gradually relaxed into ease.
