aunt had left 1t. She moved about

At the little dormer window of

over at the boys house. The
house was open-someone lived
there. She had heard that his
father, retiring from business,
had chosen to live here the year
round.
Floating out midst the deserted
garden where roses and honey

the old gate In the hedge, now
overgrown by vines. But there,
calmly looking bask at her was a
young man, the boy grown up.

A HORSESHOE NAIL RING.

Vie was IA, she was IL, when

horseshoe nail ring, but 1t
meant great deal to the happy
little girl visiting at her maiden
aunt's next door to where the
boy lived.
The occasion of the ring was
at the time OF the little lady's de-
parture for her city home. 1t
was their betrothal ring, she ex-
planned to her questioning aunt.
and the wedding would be as
soon as they grew up.
But the next summer found the
cottage closed, for the maiden
aunt had died, and so the girl
found herself playing on the sea
shore far away from the lad.
Years passed, the girl grew up,
spending a great deal of her time
abroad. 1t was the wonder of
gossiping folk why the girl didn' t
try to marry title, for surely,
enough mobiles had been known to
seek her hand.
In the meantime the boy, think
ing the girl had forgotten him,
went ranching in the west. "Any-
way, she wouldn't look at me
now," he unused, and his heart
held only bitterness toward wom-
en-.
1t was one day in June while
the girl was packing for another
run abroad that she took the

and facinating experiments with boy
life. Vim. r. George began his work

ganized them into a small government,
OF their own. Mr.. Georges theory is
that human nature is largely govern
ed by three motives: desire for prop
erty which in the slums turns into
theft: desire for adventure. which in
the slums ends in conflict with the
police: desire for leadership. which
develops gang lawiessness Reaching
these desires. he established boy
courts. legislatures. prisons. schools
and farm work and in a community
as self-governing as state; and OF
the 800 boys received into the Junior
Republic. all taken from the slums
OF the cities and all sent to Mr.. George
on account OF their viciousness. only
two OF the number drifted back into
