.'Oh. that's right, stand up for 'em,
after they've treated you like dirt all

and hatefulness give me a lot of girls.

more act the way this crowd of girls
has done than than And he
stopped hOpelessly. as if the thing was
beyond comparison.
We'll, of course. boys are different. y
"YeS. they are. When Il fellow who
seems to be the right sort moves into

let him alOne-snub him for three
straight months? Don't you think it!
They give him Il shOw-they' civil to
him, and if he turns out to be of their

that's all there is to it,

Nonsense. Why shouldn't they like

VIII seated himself on the railing of
the veranda and looked hard at the
five laughing girls who were coming
toward the house in an old-fashioned
carryall
Don't seem too interested, Will.
DOn't-dOn't look at them Like that"
''Why can't | look at them?' he re-
tOrted savageIy. Guess if l want to
look at them there's nothing to pre-
vent it, They're not SO much to look
at, anyway"
The Crowd of girls drove by with
not a glance toward the big house,
Oh the veranda of which Will and
Caroline Stewart were sitting.
They do have awfully good times,
said Caroline. wistfully, land they
seem awfully fond of one another"
Il guess I'll go up and write some
letters" she said. a few minutes later.
Il like to keep my letters written up,
because well, You can see. that it's
been pleasant to get them since I've

Her brother looked after her darkly.
Poor Cal. She never did Il mean

want to snub her is too much for me.

faced woman came round the house.

She took the chair he offered her.
1T does seem good to have you home.

"WilI. girls are queer" she said.
Il can't understand it. Why, if they'd
let Cal be one of them, they'd find her
she first came here in the spring she
saw right away that they were the
ones she would like to know, and she
was so pleased to think that there
would he nice girls for her to have a
good time with. The first night we sat
here on the porch they went by laugh
them fOrlOrnIy. and l remember l said
to her, Never mind, Cal. you'll be one
of them in a week. and she said she
supposed of course they'd call-Or do
something. but they didn't, and that's
all there is to it. They simply act as
if Cal wasn't in town.
"-Well, of all the mean, contemplate,
petty And then words failed him.
In addition to everything else" said
the boy. after few minutes of silent
fuming. these five estimable young
ladies are acting pretty silly in snub
bing Caroline. Cal could give those
girls all sorts of a good time, and she
would love to do it,
''Of course she would. When she
saw how big the house was, she said
to me first thing, isn't it lovely,
Mother? We can have people here all
the time And your father bought
that automobile for no other reason in
the world except that he thought it
would be pleasant for Cal to take peO-
pie out in.
"Well. Mother said WILL quietly,

about some people who were vulgar

''vulgarly rich,'' and as MariOns i'm
aginatiOn was such that she was
bound to fix the phrase on some one.
it descended upon the people who We're
expected in few days to move into
the big house.
That night she asked her father all
about the new family.
''Why, really, Marion," he said. after
she had put halfdOZen questions to
him in rapid succession, Il can't ac-
count for this sudden interest of yours.
L can't say that | know a great deal

Marion.
'They are newly rich,'' corrected her
father. resuming his paper.
But in the story the newly rich peO-
pie had also been vulgarIy rich, and
Marion refused to separate the ideas
i'm her mind. The next afternoon,
when the little crowd of five girls WAS
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-06-06

The country round ElmwOOd was
very beautiful, and Caroline threw
herself into the spirit of the day, tell
ing herself that some time, in some
other place, she would find friends to
enjoy the world with her, and that
meanwhile she would try to enjoy it
by herself.
She was succeeding in getting more
pleasure out of the drive than had
been hers for a long time when sud
denly she heard laughing voices, and
peering through the trees, saw the five
girls into whose friendship she had at
one time supposed she would be taken.
They We're spreading a cloth upon the
grass and opening some parcels. She
watched them through dimmed eyes
until they sat down and began to eat.
Then, when she could bear it no long
er, she whipped up her pony and start
ed briskly up the road.
The day had lost its charm. She did
not see the woods and the river and
the soft sky. She knew only that the
world seemed a hard, lonesome place,
and that her heart was yearning for
friends and cOmpaniOnship, for the
kind of fun those girls were having.
1t was very near the same spot that
upon her return, half-hOur later, she
saw Marion Foreman and one of the
other girls helping Kitty Benton down
to the river. 1t was evident that some
thing had befallen her, for she was
if it panied her. Caroline guessed at
once that the girl had sprained her
ankle, and that they were helping her
to the big, fiat rock close to the river.
They did not notice her until she
was near them. so near that she heard
Marion call to the girl behind, ''Of
course this had to happen the very day
we walked instead of drOver' and
then they glanced up and saw her, and
looked with studied care out at the
river

very fast. Every instinct prompted
her to offer to drive Kitty Benton back
to town. But would they accept the
offer? Would they not think she was
trying to intrude, and tell her in so
many words that they did not care to
have anything to do with her?
OF course they would, and she would
not go back But the idea OF leaving
any one i'm trouble when it was within
her power to offer help came over her
as too dreadful to be considered, and
she wheeled the pony sharply round.
81 beg your PARDON she said-her
effort to keep her voice steady made
it sound very cOld-but 1 believe you
have hurt your foot. If you care to
have me drive you back to town shall
be glad to do So
'"Thank yOu," said Kitty Benton,
shortly, ''but / think we can get along
all right" ii 4
Caroline turned her pony and drove
quickly down the road.
Maybe it seemed mean," said one
of the girls. as they stood watching the
pony cart
''Nothing Of the kind!' declared Mar
ion. did you notice how she did it?

| people in the story.
There is GIRL she informed them,
''and | think she is about our age. !
suppose she will attempt to buy her
way into our crowd. She will wear
better dresses than any of the rest of
us, and she will think that just be
cause she has more money than we
have that it is her place to lord it over
us. Now, we must show her that the
old families of this town are not going
to succumb to mere wealth We must
be quite Oblivious to her gaudy display.
| 1t is fortunate we understand the situ-
alton before she comes. for now she
will be given no opportunity to hu-
initiate U.S."
All Of this made a deep impression
| upon the four other girls. Marion, be
cause she was the most imaginative
of the crowd, had become in a sense
its leader She had a peculiar, quick
way of assimilating the things she
read, and that made her companions
feel that Marion had attained to a
very deep understanding of life
The first day Caroline Stuart walked
down the main street of E1mwoOd
they felt their suspicion that she would
attempt to lord it over them to be
confirmed. Her gown bore the marks
of a city dressmaker, and she walked
very straight and carried her head
very high. That was partly because
she had been taught to do so at school,
and in part because, feeling timid
with so many strange eyes upon her,
she sought refuge i'm dignity Her i'm
pulse was to look with friendly inter
est at the five girls as she passed them,
but feeling shy, she looked straight
ahead instead.
''Well, of all the airsr' gasIsed
Marion.
1T is evident that she feels miles
above us!'' sputtered Kitty Benton.
"We will not trouble her." comment
eu DOllS MOTtOll, WIFI ulSIHly.
''It's just as 1 told yOu," insisted
Marion. '"Now the only thing to do
is to let her absolutely alone''
They did. When she passed them
upon the street they were deeply alb
sorbed in one another. They studied
the art of passing her house without
knowing it was there. When she be-
gan driving i'm her pretty pony-cart
they regarded it as personal affront.
The strange part of it all is that they
were in truth kindly girls, and would
have felt very badly indeed at the idea
of hurting any ones feelings. Their
attitude had grown upon them to such
an extent that with the coming of the
big. red automobile, the first to be
seen in ElmwOOd. the ignoring of Caro-
line Stuart had become duty.
Perhaps few girls of her age have
ever passed as unhappy a summer as
Caroline Stuart passed that year. OF
warm hearted, sunny nature, she
was girl to whom friends were a
necessity. She was so free from any
idea of distinctions created by money
that the secret of the thing never
dawned upon her. She supposed, on
the other hand, that the girls did not
