noticed that safety pin had opened:

trunks. Until this instant he had been

CHAPTER ~.
Evening.

TIME sun was setting behind the
back fence Though at a con
siderable distance) as Penrod
Schoheld approached that fence
and looked thoughtfu1ly up at the top
Of 1t, apparently having in mind some
purpose to climb up and sit there. De-
batting this, he passed his fingers gent
~ up and down the backs Of his legs,
and then something seemed to decide
him not to sit anywhere. He leaned
: against the fence, sighed profoundly
!: and gazed at Duke, his wistful dog.
The sigh was reminiscent. Episodes
Of simple pathos were passing before
j.. his inward eye. About the most pain
full was the vision Of lovely Marjorie

DO you know that you ha~e kept an
audience Of 500 people waiting for

such dreamers' sensations are compar-
able to Penrod's, though family, be-
cause Penrod was awake and in much
too full possession of the most active
capacities for anguish.
A human male whose dress has been
damaged, or reveals some vital lack,
suffers from hideous and shameful
loneliness which makes every second
absolutely unbearable until he Is again
as others Of his sex and species, and
there Is no act or sin whatever too
desperate for him in his struggle to- at
tain that condition. Also, there is alb
solutely no embarrassment possible to
woman which is comparable to that
OF man under corresponding cir
cumstances, and in this boy is a
man.: Gazing upon the CHASTITY trunks,
the stricken Penrod felt that he was

horror Of himself filled his soul.

After her departure Penrod expend-
