counted the dancing teacher, while a
struggling, many footed, line OF pupils
sQuirmed in more or less successful
imitation behind her.
Jaw, gee!" said Kendall to the boy
in front OF him. Don't you hate it?"
Sure" responded the boy in front,
kicking the heels of the boy in front
of him, who shrilled "Ouch!"
Boys" chanted the teacher, "at.
tention, please. Now, all together
One, two, three! One, two, three!"

in front, does your mother make you
Gomez
You know it," said Bill. "Does

"Betcherlife," returned Kendall.
DO you think I'd come If she didn't"
Take partners and waltz" cried
the teacher, rhythmically, laying firm
hands upon the boy behind her and
bearing him Off, his large, unwilling
feet dragging behind him.
Kendall seized Billy by the sleeve.
Let's duck" he whispered. Here
comes that pesky Dorothy. bet
she's going to ask me to dance with
her"
Into their retreat, the dressing
room, presently entered Miss Turner,
REPOSITORIES interpreter.
Come boys" she said, ingratiating-
" Get your partners for the cotil.
ion."
II don't want to dance any more,
said Kendall bluntly. MY foots
sore"
well come and select your part
ner," said Miss Turner. And then II
your foot really hurts you needn't
dance but a few times"
The two victims followed her back
into the hall. Presently Miss Turner,
making her dutiful round of the hall
incidentally looking for partners for
the group of fluttering wall flowers at
the end of the hal, bounced genteeliy
upon Kendall and Billy.
well Oboys," she said, sweetly,
have you selected your partners
YETI" C
"Yep," said Billy.
Where are they?" inquired Miss
Turner, looking about in some per
plexity.
Here" said Billy, jerking his
thumb toward Kendall
"Oh. boys" sighed Miss Turner.
why are you so provoking? You
know you have to dance with the
girls. Now. come with me and TN
find partners for you"
With polite but unyielding hand
upon the shoulder of each, she moved
toward the neglected blossoms seated
together ut the end of the hall.
II don't want to dance with Dor
othy," he said. Can dance with Ell
aie?'
Elsie has a partner" said Miss
Turner. Next time If you want some
special girl you'd better be quicker
Then can / dance with Marion?"
pursued Kendall, despairingly.
"Billy's asking her now" said Miss
Turner. You see what comes OF be-
Ing 20 slow. Here's Dorothy, though.
| think she'll dance with you If you
ask her nicely"
Miss Turner brought Kendall to a
halt In front of Dorothy, who bounded
to her feet. her eyes shining with Joy.
-Oh. goody. goody!" she cried, cast
ing herself violently upon Kendall
You must sit down, Dorothy" said
: Miss Turner. until Kendall asks you.
Now, ask her nicely. Kendall. Bow,
to her as | have taught you to do
and say. May / have the pleasure Of
this dancer"
With an angry shake of his shout
ders Kendall growled through the
formula. Come on. them" he jerked
out, turning his back upon his eager
partner and scudding for the nearest
seat.
Dorothy trotted after him and pulled
herself up into the chair next to his.
She patted down her short skirt,
fiuffed up her huge hair ribbon and
dangled her fat legs. looking the pic
ture of content.
"Oh, Just love dancing school,
don't you, Kendall?" she qucried.
Kendall snarled.
Il think you dance just lovely. Ken
DALI" cooed Dorothy, beguilingly.
Kendall growled.
II like to dance with you, Kendall.
Don't you like to dance with me?-
pursued Dorothy. peering up and
around into kendairs gloomy counte
nance.
There was no answer.
Dorothy pouted. III you don't tall
to me l won't ever dance with you
again." she said with just the suspi.
cion Of fearful sniff.
Kendall withdrew his gaze from the
ceiling with little start. He looked
around at Dorothy keenly/ his face
taking on look that was almost
cheerful.
Honest. Dorothyf" he asked. Gag.
