she wanted him to do something dis
agreeable. 1t seemed to him that she
had screamed "Penrod Schofeldr'
thousands Of times.
From the beginning of his aerial ex-
perimentS in his own schoolroom he
had not opened his lips, knowing some
how that one Of the requirements for
air floating is perfect silence On the
part of the fioater; but, finally, irritat-
ed beyond measure by Miss Spence's
clamorous insistence, he was unable to
restrain an indignant rebuke and i'm
mediately came to earth with a fright
full bump.
Miss Spence-in the flesh-had direct
ed toward the physical body of the alb
sent Penrod an inquiry as to the frac-
tional consequences of dividing seven
teen apples fairly among three boys,
and she was surprised and displeased

turned to stare at the gazing boy. She
advanced a step from the platform.

''Yes'm. 1t ali 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 plethoric, and incident
followed incident, sketched with such
vividness, such abundance of color and
such veriSimilitude to a drunkard'S
life as drunkard's 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 l
said to her, why, Aunt Clara, what's
the use Of takin' on so about it?' And
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 theme became more exalted, and.
only partially misquoting a phrase
from a psalm, he related how he had
made it Of comfort to Aunt Clara and
how he had besought her to seek high
er guidance in her trouble.
The surprising thing about a struc-
ture 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

prodigy Of spiritual beauty and good

Penrod came to the explanation of his

turn her head away.

"And you were thinking about all
those dreadful things so hard that you
forgot where you were?"

And the end Of it for this mighty
boy was that the teacher kissed him!

Maturity fOrgets the marvellous real
ness Of boys day dreams, how color
full they glow, rosy and living, and
how Opaque the curtain closing down
between the dreamer and the actual
world. That curtain is almost sound
proof, too, and causes more throat
trouble among parents than is sus-
pected.
The nervous monotony Of the school
room inspires a sometimes unbearable
longing for something astonishing to
happen, and as every boys fundamen-
tai desire is to do something astonish-
ing himself, so as to be the center of
all human interest and awe, it was nat
ural that Penrod should discover in
fancy the delightful secret of self levi
tation. He found, In this curious Sc

in arithmetic, that the atmosphere may
be navigated as by a swimmer under
water, but with infinitely greater ease

In his mind he extended his arms
gracefully, at level with his Shout

with his hands, which at once caused
him to be drawn up out of his seat and
elevated gently to a position about mid

where he came to an equilibrium and
foated; a sensation not the less eX-
QuiSite because of the screams of his
fellow pupils, appalled, by the miracle.
Miss Spence herself was amazed and
frightened, but be only smiled down
careleSsly upon her when she COM

to pull him down, he quietly padded
himself little higher. leaving his toes

she had followed her arrangement
with them she would have gone into
the war on their side. 1t was from
the very beginning apparent that she
exerting every influence to enlist her,
and it was therefore inexpedient for
either belligerent to intrust its diplo-
matte concerns to her.
Thus the United States from the be-
ginning was indicated as the central
office of diplomacy.
It would be well nigh impossible to
catalogue the duties that fall to the
diplomatic agents of the mutually
friendly power which takes over this
set of relations when war breaks out.
In England, for instance, there was
large population Of Germans and Aus
TRANS. Some were naturalized; some
were not. Many Of both classes were
property owners. Some were anxious
to get out Of the country; others were
just as anxious that they should not be
forced out of it. American agents had
to look after their interests.
When the war got fairly under way
camps for prisoners Of war began to
be established in all the warning coun-
tries. Complaints came from these, and
American diplomats had to look after
the interests Of British and French and
Russian prisoners in Germany and Aus
tria and vice versa. Commissions have
been sent to supplement the efforts Of
the regular diplomatic establishment I'm
this regard.
Not the least difficult services re-
quired Of the American consuls and
diplomats have been in connection
with the colonial internments of bel
ligerents. Thus there have been es-
tablished in India, in Canada and in
Australia special camps for taking
care of citizens Of enemy countries.
Many hundreds Of men are held In
the big internment establishments,
while their families have required at
.tention elsewhere because they have
not been formally interned, but lett
largely to shift for themselves. These
cases have created a set of problems,
not new to diplomacy, but never so
large as in the present war.

Professor Bartet singled him out for

He negligently kicked a globe from
the high chandelier and, smiling cold
~, foated out through the hall to the
front steps Of the school, while Mario
RE followed, imploring him to grant
her one kind look.
In the street an enormous crowd had
gathered, headed by Miss Spence and
brass band, and cheer from a hun
dred thousand threats shook the very
ground as Penrod swan overhead.
Marjorie knelt upon the steps and
watched adOringly while Penrod took
the drum majors baton and, perform
ing sinuous evolutions above the
crowd, led the band. Then he threw
the baton so high that it disappeared
from sight. But he went swiftly after
it. double delight, for be had not
only the delicious sensation of rocket
ing safely up and up into the blue sky,
but also that Of standing in the crowd
below, watching and admiring himself
as he dwindled to a speck, disappear
ed and then, emerging from a cloud,
came speeding down, with the baton
in his hand, to the level of the tree
tops, where he beat time for the band
and the vast throng and Marjorie
Jones, who all united in the "Star
Spangled Banner in honor of his
aerial achievements. 1t was a great
moment.
1t was a great moment, but some
thing seemed to threaten it. The face
Of Miss Spence looking up from the
crowd grew too vivid-unpleasantly
vivid. She was reckoning him and
shouting: "Come down, Penrod Scho-
field! Penrod Schofeld, come down
here" He could hear her above the
band and the singing Of the multitude.
She seemed intent on spelling every
thing Marjorie Jones was weeping to
show how sorry she was that she had
formerly sighted him and throwing
kisses to prove that she loved him, but
Miss Spence kept jumping between
him and Marjorie, necessarily calling
his name.
He grew more and more irritated
with her. He was the most important
person in the world and was engaged
in proving it to Marjorie Jones and the
whole city, and yet Miss Spence seem
ed to feel she still had the right to or
der him about as she did in the old
days when he was an ordinary school
boy. He was furious. He was sure
