belligerent Vernon had a boy walk up
to him on the street.

you're a tiger. Well, according to that
professor, I'm q wolf. Wow!"-and he
"waded in"
He was a,good deal bigger than YER

"The professor was right pro
nounced Mr.. Gray when Vernon came
home, the victor, but savagely
scratched up. I'VE must curb this pro-
pensity."
So Vernon's companionship with his
fellows was circumscribed forthwith.
He had to be in by dusk. He spent
long evenings listening to advice and
the reading of solid books. About
three times a week the minister came,
purposely to %deprecate "the wicked
nature he must fight against"
Vernon got terribly tired of these
methods. He comforted himself, how
ever, by roaming in the woods. One
day he roamed farther than usual, to
come across a small fenced patch of
ground with q rude hut in the center
Of 1t. He drew back with q shock.
He had been there before. He
had never seen the denizens of the
house, but he had heard Of them. Budd
Nicholson, his past a mystery, had
come there five years previous with
his little child. He had ignored all
neighbors. Wrestling his living from
the soil, he rarely went to town, and
when he did his mods of recognition
were sparing. He was recognized AZ

daughter Irma was denominated as

Vernon WINGED and struggled and
the learned savant felt his bumps and

him all over to test his muscles.

professor blandly, but Vernon fingered
to shake his clenched fist after the re.

who had swooped down on Belleville
to make his profundity impressive and
likewise a few dollars.

Il won't, ma'Am," said Vernon, and
then his humility Or detection n
courteous tones attracted the girl.
I'm not 'ma'am,' I'm only Irma,"
she called out quickly, land I'll be

And then Vernon found q boon com

company he sought and cherished all
through the beautiful fall season. II
h was a little demon to others, she
proved a veritable angel Of Joy to
Vernon. She knew every shady nook
in the woods. Nature was to her an
open book.
And then Vernon's father learned Of
the companionship. He started in Ito
whip the tiger out of Vermont" He
alluded to chose %outcasts, the Nichol-
sons, with whom no respectable people
would affiliate" and, locked in his
room, weeping bitterly, Vernon sobbed
to himself: III I'm a tiger and Irma
is a little demon, then we're one of a
kind. I'll forget herr"
He did not. The next day he re-
ceived the announcement from his ia
Their that the following one he was
to be sent away to school. Only
once before his departure did Vernon
see Irma and tell her his sorrowful
story. Their tears mingled. She
gave him a four-leafed clover as an
amulet which he ever afterwards pre-.
served. She said to him at parting:

= fine lady, SO you won't be ashamed
Of me when l am your wife"
Vernon went his way, Irma hers.
Shortly afterwards Budd Nicholson
disappeared from the village and Irma
with him. There was a vague rumor
as to an Inheritance, later a clear one
that the Nicholsons were Giving in

non to his father eight years later, a
member of the bar and announcing his
approaching marriage, " the tiger sen.
timent would have made me reckless
but for the sweet, loyal influence OF
the lady who is to be my wife. 1t was
destiny that I should meet her again
in these later years. l am proud OF

And the Grays, father and mother
and all the town were proud of her
to. She flashed down upon them q

Irma had been born for elegance, and
1t befitted her. Her bright, quick ma

She had outstripped her classmates in
intelligence and power.

It had not, indeed. The wild human

In him became a great minister, and

And Vernon and Irma-they were
models of the gentle cooling dove, and
gracious and kindly, and inestimably
happy.

: THE HOLLYHoCK.
4 Flower That 10 lntertwinsd With
 Our Colonial Historx

\ Flower That 10 lntertwinsd With
 Our Colonial History.
 The hollyhock gets it's name from two words that indicate it's origin in the Holy Land and its membership in the mallow family. But apparently 1t was known in India before it flung its cheerful banners to the air in Pales- tine. d } Wherever it's first home was, it has become thoroughly acclimated in New England. We think of it as charac- teristic New England flower It deco rates our colonial history almost back to the days of Governor Bradford and Roger Williams. It is forever peering out of the pages of New England flc- ton and poetry. There is no flower that more completely embodies the spirit of. our eighteenth century TO- nance.
 Some of the old colonial blossoms are shy and modest, but the hollyhock has the courage of it's convictions. It knows it's beauty, as it should, and has no mind to hide it under bushel or beneath hedgerow. It is the prov ince of loveliness to display itself, not vauntingly, but with due sense of it's worth. And the holly4sck, the state Hest of our "old fashioned" flowers, aspires unabashed.
 Tn two books of popular quotations there is no reference to the hollyhock, though the holly has it's fair share of space. But it can afford to be thus os- tracked. d.-Providence Journal.
