Bits, Jr., If Gle inulueress happened
/ to be Il relative.
The present encounter, being merely
one of apathetic greeting, did not af-
ford the opportunity. Penrod took off
! his cap, and Roderick, seated between
his mother and one of his grownup
sisters, nodded sluggishly, but neither
Mrs. Magsworth Bits nor her daugh-
ter acknowledged the salutation Of the
boy in the yard. They disapproved of
him as a person of little consequence,
and that little bad Snubbed, Penrod
thoughtful1y restored his cap to his
head. A boy can be cut as effectually
as a man, and this one was chilled to
low temperature. He wondered If
they despised him because they had
seen last fragment of doughnut in
his hand; then he thought that per-
haps it was Duke who had disgraced
him. Duke was certainly no fashion
able looking dog.
The resilient spirits of youth, how
ever, presently revived, and, discover

he convinced himself forever that

interest by depositing upon the back
porch a large rat trap from the cellar,
the prison of four live rats awaiting

Penrod at once took possession, retir-
ing to the empty stable, where he in
stalled the rats in small wooden box
with a sheet of broken window glass,
held down by brickbat, over the top.
Thus the symptoms Of their agitation
when the box was shaken or hammer

After a time the students attention
was withdrawn from his specimens by
peculiar smell, which, being follow
ed up by system of selective shifting,
proved to be an emnation leaking into
the stable from. the alley. He opened
the back door.
Across the alley was a cottage which
a thrifty neighbor had built on the
rear line of his lot and rented to ne

"Yesm. 1t all commenced from the
first day he let those travelling men
coax him into the saloon" Penrod
narrated the downfall Of his Uncle
John at length. In detail he was moth
ing short Of plethora, and incident
followed incident, sketehed with such
yividness, such abundance of color and
such verisimilituGe to a drunkard' S
life as a drunkards life should be, that
had Miss Spence possessed the rather
chilling attributes of William J. Burns
himself the last trace of skepticism
must have vanished from her mind.
Besides, there are two things that will
be believed of any man whatsoever,
and one of them is that he has taken
to drink. And in every sense it was
a moving picture which, with simple
but eloquent words, the virtuous Pen
rod set before his teacher.
His eloquence increased with what
it fed on, and as with the eloquence
so with self reproach in the gentle
bosom of the teacher. She cleared her
throat with difficulty once or twice
during his description of his minister
ing night with Aunt Clara. "And
said to her, why, Aunt Clara, what's
the use of takin' on so about it?' And
l said, 'Now, Aunt Clara, all the crying
in the world can't make things any
better And then she'd just keep
catchin' hold of me and sob and kind
of holler, and I'd say: Don't cry, Aunt
Clara. Please don't cry!'"
Then, under the influence of some
fragmentary survivals of the respecta-
BILE portion of his Sunday adventures,
his th1me became more exalted, and,
only partially misquoting a phrase
from Il psalm, he related how he had
made it Of comfort to Aunt Clara and
how he had besought her to seek high
err guidance in her trouble.
The surprising thing about a struc-
t9re such as Penrod was erecting is
that the taller it becomes the more
Ornamentation it will stand. Gifted
boys have this faculty of building mag
nifcence upon cobwebs-and Penrod
was gifted. Under the spell of his
really great performance, Miss Spence
gazed more and more sweetly upon the
prodigy of spiritual beauty and good
ness before her, until at, last. when
Penrod came to the explanation of his
lust thinking" she was forced to
turn her head away.

boy was that the teacher kissed him!

Fidelity of a Little Dog.

afternoon observed that Pen
rods desk was vacant, and
nothing could have been more
impressive than that sinister mere
emptiness. The accepted theory was
that Penrod had been arrested.

greeted him with pleasant little nod.
Even after school Penrod gave numer-
GUS maddened Investigators no relief.
All he would consent to say was:
"Oh, just talked to her"
mystification not entirely uncon-
nected with the one thus produced was
manifested at his own family dinner
table the following evening. Aunt
Clara had been out rather late and
came to the table after the rest were
seated. She wore a puzzled express
sion.
do you ever see Mary Spence now

fiattering attention.

movement of the head, and, by anoth-

many reasons, not to discuss the sub

time. Later she had another, and it
kept her awake.
