It was recreation period of Friday Afternoon and Frederick William sat eating a ginger snap. Across the aisle Marie Schaefer of a goodness
 and neatness rivaling Frederick Vii. Hams own was eating a bun. Anns karenina sat beside her. Anna die
 lot have any lunch. and she was wishing it was an apple as then she would get the core. She had not hae any dinner either, for when she had
 gotten home that dinner time it was 10 ind the door locked and her mother put for the day. She had spent the time till the afternoon session in fol lowing the dog-catcher's wagon. Shs had also gotten in three fights, and therefore she may be excused if she
 sat very close to Marie and looked aungrily and rudely down into her mouth as she ate When you have had no dinner and three fights. yor have little thought for the super-re- |hnements of l':e.
 Miss Lucy was writing at her desk land Bum o'Reilly was rubbing of the board. Bum oReiily. being the big |gest boy in the class. often did things for Miss Lucy. There was al ways glamor about doing things flor Miss Lue.s that doing things" for |one's mother somehow lacked, and |Frederiek William thought regretful. Fly of the o>ly thing he had ever done for her. IL was one noon when she had asked him to get hes basin o: water Although trembling with e2 |citement. he had carried it safely up Ito her desk. where he had turned it lover Into her lap. Since then doing things" for Miss Lucy had been a much desired but never attained con. 'dition.
 Frederick William liked recreation !period a great deal better than recess. which came in the morning and dur. ling which you were pitched violently into the yard. where you stood timidly Isqueezed up against the fence and |shivered while the other boys ran laround and "hollered" IT you got a foot away from the fence. you were at 'once knocked down and stepped on land your nose was made to bleed. [.hrown violently into the hall again unless you did not have a partner. in which case you were pulled out" The horrible possibilities of getting |"pulled out" caused Frederick Vii. liam and Josef to stand together ;hand in hand during the whole of lrecess. But recreation period, which |came in the afternoon, was quite diff. |ferent. for then you sat with dignity lin your seat and ate your lunch while |the other children looked at you en- yiously
 That afternoon Fre1,Nick William had come to school witt great re |solve and two ginger snaps. He was |going to give one of the ginger snaps Ito Miss Lucy. He knew just how he would do this, for it was only yester- |day that Bum O'Reilly had brought . whole three-cent cream puff and, in the openness of his Irish heart. had given it all to Miss Lucy--all. that is, |except the sugar, which he had licked |off the top. Frederick William thought with pleasure of how he would bestow his ginger snap. He would walk boldly up to the desk without even raising his hand for permission. True. there was an ex. lplicit rule concerning the reckless lone who was guilty of this act, but when you had something for Miss Lucy that was the exception One then walked grandly from his seat and she only smiled sweeGy and said: Thank you. dear" Later she might even let you rub the board on. Frederick William thought of all this as he ate his ginger snap. He ate it slowly. leaning over the desk so that the crumbs would not be lost Then be reached into the bag and drew out Miss Lucy's ginger snap. He looked at the cake. It was so nice and round and s-,ooth on. the edges
