CHAPTER /.

CHAPTER I.
HE train that bore Bert Bryan
from his home in Clinton, Ohio
to New York was Two hours lat
at the end Of its journey, for al
the way the snow had been from
three inches to a foot in depth
Consequently Bert had missed the one
o'clock train to Mount Pleasant and had
spent an hour in the Grand Central Sta
ton with his nose to a waiting room lin
dow watching with interested gaze the
hustle and confusion Of the great city.
Now, at four o'clock, be was seated in a
sleigh, suitcase beside him, winding up
the snowy road to Mount Pleasant Acad-
emy. In the front seat were the furclad
driver and Bert's small trunk. 1t was
very cold and fast growing dark. 1t
seemed to Bert that they had been driving
fCt miles and miles, and he wanted to ask
the driver how much further they had to
so. But the driver was cross and taciturn,
and so Bert buried his hands deeper in his
pockets and wondered whether his nose
and ears were getting white. And just
when he had decided to reach out for a
handful of snow to rub them with the
sleigh left the main road with a sudden
lurch that very nearly toppled the trunk
of and turned through a gate and up a
curving drive lined with snow laden ever
greens. Then the academy came into view,
a rambling, comfortable looking building,
with many cheerful, lighted windows. The
sleigh pulled up in front of broad stone
step and Bert clambered out, bag in hand.
The driver lifted the trunk, opened the big
oak door without ceremony, deposited his
burden just inside and growled Fifty
cents."
Bert paid him, the door closed, the
bells jingled diminishingly down the
drive and Bert looked around. He was
in big hall from which a broad stair
way ascended and from which doors
opened on all sides. Through one of
them he caught sight of three tables al
ready set for supper. The hall was evil
IDENTIFY living room as well, for a wood
fire cracked in big fireplace and easy
chairs and couches were all around, while
the floor was spread with q number of
rugs of varying sizes whose deep tones

All that il necessary for an equipment
for the sport is a pair Of barrels or keg,
on which TO stand and two spears like
those in the pictures. Old ice cream bar.
rels are used for the stands of the boys
here pictured. Any sort of barrel, how.
ever, will do, provided that both barrels
are of equal height.
The spears are made of long fishing
poles, over the ends Of which are twisted
wooden disks. These are cut from old
pieces of wood, and holes are made in
the centre Just large enough to make
them fasten firmly on the ends of the
poles. Then the ends Of the poles are
padded, and white rags are fastened over
the padding and tied down the other side
of the wooden piece. This holds the rags
firmly in place and thus makes q very
good padded spear.
The first position for the spear fight Is
shown in one of the pictures. The object
of the fight is to knock ones opponent Of
the barrel. Every time a boy is Knocked
of it counts two for his opponent. The
score may be seven, eleven or thirteen
points.
If a boy strikes his opponent below the
belt or in the face it is considered foul,
and he is obliged to throw up his defensive
spear, permitting his opponent every op-
portunity to push him of the barrel. If,
however, the opponent fails to push him
of. the first boy loses nothing by the foul.
Some boys allow one point for each time
an opponent is unbalanced, even IL he is
not put Of the barrel
The barrels must be eight feet apart,
and the spears are eight feet long. There
must be an umpire for the rounds, and 1t
is well to have . boy standing back Of
each barrel to catch the spearsmen as
they fall.
