CHARLES HUGHEs THE BOY.

At five his parents put the boy to school but
the experiment proved a failure. His mind
travelled much faster than his companions
that the teacher could not keep him occupied
One day the youngster appeared before his
father with a long document headed Charles
z Hughes's plan of study" In column he
had written the hours of the day. in one ad-
joining the subject which he wished to study in
that hour He explained that he tired of
school, that the teacher wasted too much time
going over the same ground that his fellow
pupils delayed matters by dawdling over their
lessons, and he asked that he ne permitted to
study at home. In the directness, the initiative,
the love Of system. the impatence at unneces-
sary detail and the passion for results dis
played by the five-year-Old on this occasion. one
readily perceives practically the same qualities
that led to sucn success in the examination Of
the life insurance companies.
Mr. Hughes'S parents accepted the educa-
tionaI programme proposed. and for five years
until his tenth year, he studied at home his
mother taught him the primary studies as well
as French, German and mathematics; MS
father Greek and Latin. That mastery OF self
which Mr. Hughes afterward manifested he also
taught himself q child. He always recited

till they check their horses for the turn.'
 "We are fools. They have got us trapped" And Durand's hands shook as he restlessly fingered a revolver. The big servlan crouched on his knees near by, his finger on the trigger of his rifle. All three were hatless and unkempt The wound in Zmafs scalp had broken out afresh. and he had twisted a colored handkerchief about it to stay the bleeding. A hundred yards away the waterfall splashed down the defile, and its faint murmur reached them. A wild dove rose ahead of Ar mitage and flew straight before him over the barricade. The silence grew tense as the horses galloped nearer. The men behind the cedar lined wall heard only the hollow thump of hoofs and Claiborne's voice calling to Armi- tage and Oscar to warn them of his whereabouts.
 But the eyes of the three conspira- tors were fixed on Armitage. It was his life they sought. The others did not greatly matter. And so John Ar mitage rode across the little plain where the lost legion had camped for yeaI at the end of a great war, and as be rode on the defenders of the bowldei barricade saw his white face and noted the useless arm hanging and swnyine and felt in spite of themselves the strength of his tall, erect figure.
 Chauvenet watching the silent rider said aloud, speaking in German, SC that Zmai understood:
 Tt is in the blood. He Is like . king"
 But they could not hear the words that John Armitage kept saying oveI and over again as he crossed the field:
 He bade me do something for Aus tria-for Austriaw
 He is brave. but he is great fool When he turns his horse we will fire on him." said ZmaL
 Their eyes were upon Armitage, and in their intentness they failed to note the increasing pace of Oscars horse which was squirting slowly ahead When they saw that he would first make the sweep which they assumed to be the contemplated strategy of tn, charging party they leveled their arms at him. believing that he must soor check his horse But on be rode. bend ing forward little, his rife held acresl tAa sal1ls jn fssnt sf him
