and respected, and Inas Willard
was proud of him!" Her present
life was all her gentle girlhood had
promised - everybody's friend and
the idol of the children. Bryce Will
lard made a sudden resolve. He
placed the bulky walnut in his pocket
as though it were a cherished ANU
let. He called in his Office manager.
Shoot that new boy ahead fast as
he earns it." was his explicit direc-
ton. 81 am going away for few

ing Willard arrived at Shoreham.
He sent his luggage to the hotel
and began a desultory stroll. The
lure of the wildwood was upon him
and he could not resist its influence.
He was a barefooted boy again amid
cherished familiar scenes. 1t was a
rare delight to penetrate copses he
had visited in the long ago, to note
spots where he had often camped
with merry companions, to inhale
the sweet air redolent with the last
subtle perfume of the dying flowers.
At last he came to a spot near an
old gully lined by giant walnut trees.
A horse attached to light wagon
stood browsing, near some under
brush lay a tired-out little fellow on
the green sward He had been pound
the husks from a heap of nuts across
a great log and the paddle had fallen
by his side. The shucked nuts had
been thrown in the wagon and there
was heap of them.
A whimsical idea seized Willard.
He seated himself and seized the
paddle, whack, whack! What though
the juice of the husks spattered his
hands and clothing! In joyous, riot
GUS way he seemed in harmony with
the great surging chorus of nature
around him. Then suddenly chill

Willard closed his eyes. Shore

'G-glory!" gasped the lad. why

added at a glimpse of the boys dark
knotted fingers, you had better
wash those hands before you begin

To Wizards surprise the lad
laughed loud and heartily. His eyes
frightened up in a mirthful way.
"That isn't dirt, "-he disclaimed, 81

scrubbed and used pumicestone ten
times a day. That's walnut stains.

lad produced and placed on the desk
a green-skinned walnut as big as a
potato.
Bryce Willard sat regarding it
dreamily after his visitor had gone.
