SECOND PRIzE.

BY John Null. Haley school.
One bright summer day last year.
10 OF my boy friends and 1 were en-
ioying a very frolicsome swim in
Chain lakes.
on the bank stood Henry Lane,
regarding the boys with envy.
Around him stood a few more Of
my friends. asking him why he did
not take his clothes of and also go
in swimming. To all these re-
marks he tried 10 seem indifferent
but the fact was that he wished to
20 in swimming very much. but he
knew that as soon as he was in the
water that the boys on the bank
would take his clothes and tie them
in knots.
The boys were going 10 punish
him in this way because he had i'm
posed on a smaller boy the day be-
fore. By tying his helpless enemy's
clothes in large knots and then wet
ting them. The small boy was COM
PEELED TO work on his clothes until
dark. and as a result when he ar
rived home. ne received a very Sc
we're whipping.
Henry remained on the bank for
about five minutes and then he said
with contempt in his voice:
"Oh. YOU may laugh at me but I
didn't want 10 80 in swimming after
all. because the water is cold,' With
this retort ne walked sullenly away.
