 It was the one thing that clouded his anticipation of happy vacation.
 .I suppose the new boy is still here?" he remarked to his father as they drove home from the station.
 "Oh, yes"
 By the way, what Is his name?"
 His name Is James. We'll, here we are"

she lived, for more than once he had fol- lowed her and opened the gate and got a penny and a smile for doing it.
 'I found your pocketbook," he said bluntly when he had fought his way into her presence past the unwilling servant. He pulled 1t from his pocket and handed 1t to her. There's 28 cents gone" he ex- plained, "but I'll try to make 1t up to you before you need it very badly. Prhaps you'd take a paper from me evry day til l pay you off,
 Yes, I'll do that" said Miss Gilbert, "and now let us have breakfast and talk 1t over"
 She did not reproach him for taking the money or ask him questions, so he told her the truth about 1t and felt better Then he had such a good breakfast that he did not mind In the least having missed his dinner the night before and he did not have to get anything to eat again until evening, which was a great gain. AL though Miss Gilbert had not scolded about the money, Larry realized that he had come very near to being a thief and he promised himself that he never again would take a cent that was not his, not if 1t fell right into his hand, and 1t was not because he was afraid of the cop or the lookup either It wes just because he wanted to be on the level with Miss Gilbert. Those were his words.
 Larry had stopped playing hockey after he and Miss Gilbert became friends and he got on in school surprisingly well. That was partly because she talked to

"AIl right assented Larry Healy, I'll go, but don't know what the folks Will do without me-"
 'I will see to that, Larry. You can trust them with me, can't you?'
 Yes, or I wouldn't say that I yefI01 wNul1 can't help thinking about his own family when he is going so far away.
 There was a suspicion of lump in Larry's throat, but he swallowed it and blinked very hard to dry his eyes of the tears that threatened to brim over. He was having tea with Miss Gilbert. and he scraped out the last of the sugar from the bottom of the pretty Chinese cup, ate the last crumb of cake from his plate and said he would have to be going. He and Miss Gilbert were old friends. He had sold papers on her block for years and they had been acquainted almost as long-ever since the day when his papers got wet and he could not sell them and she had come along and dropped her purse No one saw him pick it up and he ran home with 1t stopping only to buy some bread and meat His mother had wept for joy, calling him her blessing, and his brother and sisters had hugged hlm. Larry had refused to eat any of the food, however, and the next morning he went to Miss Gilbert's house. He knew where

with new things that he could not dwell upon the old ones. and 1t was not until he had turned his face Eastward to enter college that he began to wonder how he should feel to go back to his old sur roundings. He was to spend week with Miss Gilbert and to see his family before going to the university. His examina- tions had been passed, and he had nothing to worry him. He had made many friends in Omaha, and two of his chums were to enter college with him.
 What splendid fellow you are, Lar ry" exclaimed Miss Gilbert as she met him at the station. T should hardly have known you"
 His family were little afraid of him at first but when he told them funny stories took them to the theater and gave them the presents that he had brought for them and those the Underwoods had sent they began to look upon him as good fairy. and were as ready to cry when he left them for college as they had been when they saw him start for the West.
