the rich father was attempting to

boy did not seem to be able to find his
niche. Said to me one day when he
had gotten confidential: You know,
my only fear is that am not going to
make something out of myself that will
make dad proud Of me- And the two
surely did love each other. One day
the boy asked the father for several
thousand dollars. 1t was forthcoming
Then he asked the father to cash a
check for some money left him by his
dead mother. He got that. Then the
boy sort Of dropped out Of New York

the Thames river TO Connecticut to
Weekapaug in Rhode Island. The set
tiers of Stonington Chen called Mystic
and Pawcatuck) applied to the general
court at Hartford to be set OFF as a
separate town, but the opposition OF
New London led TO the refusal OF the
application.
In 1857 the petitioners sent an ur-
gent message to Massachusetts,, which
colony had a claim 10 the area in dis
pute. bur Massachusetts likewise re-
fused the request of the little settle
ment in the wilds.
Whereupon miniature republic was
evolved under the name of 1.-THE AS
sociation of Poquatuck People"
In the same year, however, the COM
missioners appointed TO settle the dis
pute between Massachusetts and Con-
necticut returned their decision. They
divided the conquered territory equal

airy line. Thus the little settlement Of

What other Connecticut town was

defeated the naval forces of England;
once In 1775 and again in 1914
The conquests of the old town were
not. however, limited to battle alone.
The sea was hers, traversed as II was

The Hero was one of squadron of

TO examine the mountain and the re-

boy sailed safely across the uncharted
sea and found an unknown continent.
The home of the discoverer of the
Antarctic continent still stands in
Stonington and is now the Wampos-

withstood the buffetings of the sea.
In great September gale which swept
the coast century ago, this house was
lifted from its foundations by the

I cant tell what TO do. What would

to go with other girls, too. IL would
be very unwise for d young man or
your age to go with only one girl.
Laugh at the girls when they
tease you and pretend to do even
worse things than they suggest.
Also call the girls pet names. You
certainly can get as much fun out
of the teasing if you try as the girls
do.
