Ing, get into it. His temper rose he

and then began to buffet him with the

The speaker was Frank Dynevor. Cyras

at Denham. lie was considerably older
than Cyras, but the latter was a forward
boy of his years, and would not acknowl-

For his sins" said Cyras.
The tears stood in Charles eyes moth
Ing grievcd him so much as for Cyras to
be- angry with him.
He cries for nothing" went on Cyras
and then they get him into the nursery
and give him sugar candy. Mamma and
old Jaquet make a regular molly of him.
Now Master Charles, perhaps you'll 90

am not going" said Dyneyor. "They
began a row at home about my running
out in the rain, so it's stopped, and !
came to tell you. Here. Cy, come down
this way"
The two boys, Dynevor's arm careless
~ cast on the shoulder Of Cyras,
strolled of together along the cloisters
toward the obscure exit which led to the
Dark Alley, Cyras having tossed the coat
90 TO Chsrlsy's head, nearly throwing him
of his legs. Charley disencumb~red him
self, and espyins some Of the college bows
with whom he kept UP a passing seauaiut-
aDce wAsn at DenhGm, he joiaed them.
They were emerging no4sily from the
scAeCi room, after taking sg their eur
Rlfeoe; music had ne chaprss for them,

New, there was a charity seAAoi IN
DsRAau for the sSEs Of snail Darents,
where plain learuinK was taught 1t was
a large echSel, its nambexu averaging
fsur OF FIVE times tAoso Of tAa feunda-
tiea school In the cathedral; aaa from
time immemOral the Rsntlemen On tAs
college foundation, called the Kings schel-
airs, and the boys Of the charity school
hAA been at dakgers drawn. The slight
Sastimec Of hard abuse and stone threw
Ing were INDUCED in, whenever tile oppe-
sition parties came into contact. AMI |
mostly at the present time ran unusually
high, and, in consequences Of some offense
offered by the naughty college bSys in the |
past week, the opposition boys had ven.
tured on the unhcard-ef exploit Of col. |
Letting in body round the cloister gate
to raylay the Kings scholars on their |
leaving the cathedral at the close Of af- |
ternooA service. The latter walked into !
the trap and were caught; but they did |
not want for pluck" and began laying
about them right and left.
The noise penetrated to the other end |
OF the clOister, to the ears Of the two lads |
parAding there, and away thsy tore, eager
to take part In any mischief that might !
have turned up. The first thing Cyras !
saw was his brother Charles struggling
in the hands Of some half dozen of the |
enemy, end being roughly handled.
All the hot blood of Cyras Baumgar-
tens body rushed to his face and his !
temper If he chose to put upon Charley
and tan" him, he was not going to see
others do it. He flung off HIS jacket and
his cap, threw them to Dynevor, and
with his sturdy young fists doubled
sprenE upon the ASSISTANTS.
What would have been the upshot, 1t
is impossible TO say, had not the master
Of the opposition boys come up worthy
gentleman and martinez, whom the whole
lot dreaded more than anything alive. The
very mement his pcrtly figure was caught
sight of off flew the crew in igneminious
alarm the college boys raising a derisive
shout after them, and then decamping to
their own homes.
