upon the head. which was, for many
reasons. in no condition to be patted
with any pleasure to the pattee. PEN

1T has been a delicious day." said
Mr.. Kinosling presently; warm, but

Penfod laid down his fork and gIar-

You'll have another slice Of breast

"A lovely day!T' exclaimed Margaret,

Lovely; oh, lovely, loyelyl"

Penrod closed his mouth and sank

Youth relaxes In summer" he said.
"Boyhood Is the age Of relaxation; one
is playful, light, free, unfettered. One
runs and leaps and enjoys ones self
with ones companions. 1t Is good for
the little lads to play with their friends
they jostle, push and wrestle and
simulate little, happy struggles with
n another in harmless conflict. The
young muscles are toughening. It is
good. Boyish chivalry develops, en-
larges, expands. The young learn
quickly, intuitively, spontaneously.
They perceive the obligations OF no
blesse obhge. They begin to compre-
bend the necessity Of caste and Its re-
quirements. They learn what birth
means-ah-that is, they learn what 1t
means to be well born. They learn
courtesy in their games; they learn
~politeness, consideration for one anoth-
er In their pastimes, amusements, light

to join them often, for I sympathize
with them In all their wholesome joys
as well as In their little bothers and
~perplexities. / understand them, you
see; and let me tell you 1t is no easy
matter to understand the little lads and
lassies." He sent to each listener his
beaming glance and, permitting 1t to

1t is not known In what light Mr..
Kinosling viewed the expression OF
Periods face. Perhaps he mistook 1t
for awe; perhaps he received no i'm
preston at MI of its extraordinary
quality. He was a rather self engross-
ed young man, just then engaged In a
double occupation, for he not only talk
ed, but supplied from his own CON
seriousness a critical though favorable
auditor as well. which, Of course, kept
him quite busy. Besides, 1t Is oftener
than is suspected the case that ex-

minds OF people staring straight at

was perfectly horrible-cansed not the
faintest perturbation in the breast OF
