When Barrett was as big as Rogers
he was the stronger. He could have
taken his revenge then. But he had
already forgotten-or, if he had not
forgotten, he kept his resolution to
himself Barrett was a slow, easy
going fellow, and Rogers more
popular fellow at college. Their
paths seldom crossed, except on the
athletic field.
In one of the test games, the re-
suit of which was to be the selection
of either Rogers or Barrett for the
team, Rogers bullied Barrett again.
Barrett had injured a tendon, on his
knee. 1t was nearly well now and
not likely to interfere with his play,
unless he received a kick there.
Rogers knew about that and, in the
scrimmage, he gave Barrett kick
which totally disabled him.
Sorry, old man." said Rogers, as
Barrett lay gasping on the ground.
81 didn't mean to hurt you"
"You did, you liar" answered Bar
rett, land I'll get even with you for
that some day, don't you forget it,
But Rogers, who was elected to the
team, speedily forgot. And Barrett,
if he didn't forget, apparently bore
no malice, though he never played
football again and walked with a
slight limp ever after. By the time
they went into the Kingsley bank to-
gether they were apparently the best
of friends again.
That is, so far as two such dissim-
liar characters could be friends. Rog-
ers belonged to a sporting set He
was promoted above Barrett, because
he had an "air" about him. He was
assistant paying teller, while Barrett
was only clerk. Clifford Kingsley,
who owned the bank, had had a fail
ure with big land company recently
and there was a good deal of reor-
ganization, work to be done in con-

boy. That enabled Rogers to bully
Barrett to his hearts content.
. you coward!' the little boy would
scream, as the big one pounded him.
"I'll get even with you some day."
"Coward?" repeated Rogers in
surprise. why, I'm not a coward,
Johnny. I'm just bullying you
"a bully is always a coward" an
swered the other, lodging away. But,
though he had heard the old adage,
Rogers did not believe it. He con-
tinued to bully Barrett until the latter
grew tall Then he stopped.

ON THE BRINK

It was the season of Lent, and the
vicar of a certain village church was
solemnly and impressively exhorting
his congregation to determination,
abstinence, and repentance. The
beadle, who is accustomed to sit be-
low the pulpit, is locally renowned as
the owner of the biggest mouth in
the district. Unfortunately he felt
sleepy, and yawned at a very critical
and impressive part of the minister's
sermon.
Pause, my brethren, at this sol
emn season of Lent, before it is too
late" exclaimed the preacher, cor
you may be dragged into the abyss
which is now yawning before you"
There was a suppressed litter in
the congregation, the preacher look
ed surprised, and the beadle a little
discounted.
