saLittIe GentIenan.p

R E EANWHILE the breeding Pen &# rod pursued his homeward
 way; no great distance, but
 long enough for several one sided conflicts with malign insufters made of thin air. You better not call me thatv' he muttered You just try it, and you'll get what other people got when they tried 1t. You better not ack fresh with me Oh, you will, will your He delivered a vicious kick full upon the shfns of an iron fence post, which suffered little, though Penrod instantly regretted his indiscretfon. Corr he grunted, hop ping, and went on after bestowing a look of awful hostility upon the fence post T guess you'll know better next time.s he said in parting to this an tagonist "You just let me catch you around here again and TIP His voice sank to inarticu1ate but ominous murmurfngs. He was in dangerous mood.
 Nearing home, however, his belliger- ent spirit was diverted to happier in terests by the discovery that, some workmen had left a caldron of tar in the cross street close by his fathers stable He tested 1t, but found it in edible; also as a substitute for profes- lsionaI chewing gum 1t was unsattsfac- tory, being insuficiently boiled down and too thin, though of pleasant, lukewarm temperature. But it had an excess of one quality-it was sticky. It was the stichiest tar Penrod had ever used for any purposes whatsoey er, and nothing upon which he wiped his hands served to rid them of it, neither his polka dotted stlirtwafst nor his knickerbockers; neither the fence nor even Duke, who came unthfnEingly wagging out to greet him and retired wiser.
 Nevertheless tar is tar Much can be done with it, no matter what its condition. So Penrod fingered by the

 What ?'' demanded Penrod.

 .sI'd do enough. Don't worry about thatrs

 Tied be lucky, said Penrod, with a sinister frown If he got8home alive
 Suppose it was a boy twice your sizeg'
 Just let him try.' said Penrod oni- nously.t You just let him try. He'd never see daylight again; that's aIl'!''
 The barber dug ten active fingers into the helpless scalp before him and did his best to displace it, while the anguished Penrod, becoming instantly seething crucible of emotion, misdi rected his natural resentment into mad dened breeding upon what he would do to a boy twice his size's who should dare to call him little gentleman. : The barber shook him as his father had never shaken him; the barber buff feted him. rocked him franticaIly to and fro; the barber seemed to be try ing to wiring his neck. and Penrod saw himself in staggering zigzag pictures, destroying large, screaming, fragmen- tary boys who had insulted him.
 The torture stopped suddenly, and clinched. weeping eyes began to see again, while the barber applied cooling lotions which made Penrod smell like a coiored housemaid's ideal.
 Now what asked the barber, comb ing the reeking locks gently, swhat would it make you 50 mad fer to have somebody call you little gentleman It's a kind of compliment, as it were, you might say What would you want to hit anybody fer that fer?''
 To the mind of Penrod this question was without meaning or reasonable ness. It was within neither his power nor his desire to anaIyze the process by which the phrase had become of fensive to him and was now rapidly assuming the proportions of an out rage He knew only that his gorge rose at the thought of it. You just let ,em try it!' he said threateningly as he slid down from the chair. And as he went out of the door, after further conversation on the same subject, he called back those warning words once more: Just let i lem try it-just oncel That's all ask lem to! They'll find out what they get.',
 l The barber chuckled. Then fly lit I on the barber's nose, and he slapped at it, and the slap missed the fly, but did not miss the nose. The barber was irTitated. At this moment his birdIike eye gleamed g1eam as it fer upon customers approaching the pret, tiest little girl in the world, leading i by the hand her baby brother, Mitchy' Mitch, coming to have Mitchy Mitch's hair clipped against the heat. l It was a hot day and idle, with little lsto feed the mind, and the barber was a mischievous man with an irritated nose. He did his worst.
