WHEN THE TABLES TURNED.
Willie Found His Tormentors Then
Wanted to Be Friends.

Willie Walker was a little 12-year-
eye. And Willie Walkers father was
just poor carpenter, whose family
lived in simple cottage with UMPIRE
tentious surroundings. Therefore,
Willie, being poor boy and not OF
very pronounced good looks, fell un-
der the ridicule of most of his fellows
at school and about the streets. Wher-
ever Willie went he was sure to hear
some boys voice call out to him:
Hello Bricktop." or Hello, Sandy
patel" or Hello, there, Crooked
Eamp!" And, again, some tormentor
would yell out to him as he went
along: Say, does the world look on
the bias to you, Sandy Kid?"
And Willie, being but child, had
not learned to turn a deaf ear to his
tormentors In fact, he was very much
hurt by the epithets hurled at him
and was quite unhappy by being the
object of ridicule.
But in the town where Willie lived
were two brothers-Syd and Tom
Jackson-who felt the kindest SYM
pathy for the carpenters little cross
eyed son and who braved the jeers of
the other boys to play with him. To
be sure, Willie was not entirely ostra-
cised by his fellows, but was so often
made the butt of their ridicule and
coarse, painful personalities that he
felt he had no genuine friends save
sgd and Tom Jackson. And often he
refused to go on a picnic-where he
