Lieutenant Peary gives the why he longs with

It is the where there is but night and
day in every year; where there no time, no

And it is last great geographical prize that the

that Peary wants it. Most any with half grain

Taro looked at the letters and
then at teacher. What kind of
man was he to expect a little
boy only six years old to do
such thing as that? He was
sure he never could learn how
to make them. Still, he had
been taught from babyhood that

teacher somebody else would make game Of the
dreadful things that might happen if messages and
documents not properly punctuated it would be
more interesting and very much easier.

last, Taxa went off and left
him. For a long time Taro
stood watching the other chill
dren. Boys and girls by the
dozen were going in, many Of
them attended by servants.
On the grounds. other boys
and girls were gayly playing
games that he had never seen.
Taro felt very lonesome. He
knew that no real, manly little
Japanese boy would show his
feelings, but he was so much of
nowhere in it all. He wanted
his mother, his father, or his
sister. Down, down went the
corners of his mouth, and just
when he thought he could
stand it no longer, a merry lit
tie boy among the players
looked up and saw him. He
smiled at Taro's anxious face
and running up to him, asked
him to join his game After
that, Taro felt brave enough to
face anything.
