in front of cigar store in New York.
Next to the cigar store was an en-

saluting.
Nothing but returned the man in
uniform, you're as welcome as the
flowers in May Ascend" He waved
his hand invitingly. Neal assembled.
Half an hour later he had regularly
enrolled-he was an apprentice sea
man in the navy. The United States
at It's own expense shipped him with
squad of recruits to the naval train
ing school at Norfolk.
AS the hours few by, Meals eyes
were opened. He loved the sea-had
always loved 1t. He plunged into the
life of an apprentice seaman.

There was something unfamiliar
there. Involuntarily he drew 1t out

examiners eagle eye was upon 1t in
an instant.

exclaimed.

grabbed Meals hand and snatched the
paper from him.

Angrily he tore up the honor slip
tore up Meals answers-and flung
them to the floor. He pointed to the

Ten minutes later Neal and Welcher
were seated side by side at desks in
the old-fashioned little schoolroom.
The examination questions had been

completely circled the room. The ex-

gresham half way. He whispered to
him.
