lie bore this punishment calmly for
nearly a year--a year that added two
or three inches to his height and in
which his figure became well knit and
graceful. Then gradually the games
became less irksome to him and occa-
sionally he entered into them with
something approaching interest.
The boys at the Flatbush school be-
gan to observe a change in "Old John"
as they called him. He did not chill the
ardor of registering pupils with frown
as he had been known to do earlier in
his attendance at the school and once,
when lot Of the pupils got in disgrace
through a skylarking affair which was
carried beyond reasonable limits. he as
tonlshed the offenders and the master Of
the school by pleading for clemcncy for
them so vigorously and so logically that
both the offenders and their judge were
amazed. The master could not help
smiling waen odd John" argued that
folly was a concomitant of youth from
which there was no escape"
Perhaps Johnston Blakely was think
ing more at that moment of the impsh
Jane Hooper's pranks than Of the cs-
capades of the boys threatened with en-
pulsion.
The second year at F'latbush had more
OF happiness for Johnston Blakely than
any he had known up to that time.
The week ends and vacations were the
great events to look forward to. He ac-
| cepted the rumpling of his hair and
the tweakings of his ears with such
| complacency that Jane had suspicion
| that he rather enjoyed those attentions.
Mrs. Hooper. whose motherly heart
had gone out to the boy, looked on with
approval. She told her husband. in the
| privacy of the boudoir that John was
beginning to know a little of boyhood.
But 1t was not tn be for long. Toward
the end of the second year at Flatbush
word came from Wilmington that
Johnston Blakely's father had died sud
denly. The boy had to go home at once.
He was the only child and his fathers
business and his fathers fortune were
left to him.
1t seemed strange to Johnston Blakely

Mr.. Hooper was not content until he

The lad had stopped at Baltimore for
few days and at Philadelphia for a
week, taking advantage of the oppor-

His mission in New York was to attend
school in Flatbush, in that educational

kindness, but would not impose on that
gentleman's good nature. \ compro-

READY FOR LEAGUE
Proposition of Outlaw" Associ-

So far as Anderson is concerned,
and seemingly all other cities in the
new Georgia Carolina Association,
the only thing now lacking in this
undertaking is some one TO start the
ball TO rolling. In Anderson it is be-
lieved that the fens will do their part
and If some one can be found who
will take the initiative and start the
proposition going the rounds, he will
meet with ready response.
Columbia and Augusta have prac-.
tically given up all hope of getting
into the South Atlantic Association
and both of those towns are strong,
people are favorable, while in An

Some Of the other sports writers,

following to say:
While there has been little talk In
