tually engrossed her mind was the
thought of Wallie Torbin.
Master Torbin, approaching four
teen, was In all the town the boy
most dreaded by his fellow-boys, and
by girls of his acquaintance, including
many of both sexes who knew him
only by sight-and hearing. He had
no physical endowment or attainment
worth mention; but boys, who could
''whip him with one hand" became
sycophants in his presence; the terror
he Inspired was moral. He had a spe-
cial overdevelopment of faculty ex-
ercised clumsily enough by most hu-
man beings. especially in their youth;
in other words, he had genus-not,
however, genius having to do with
anything generally recognized as art
or science. True, If he had been a
violinist prodigy or mathematical prod

from bis fellows-about equal to that

would never have enjoyed such deadly
prestige as had actually come to be
his. In brief. then, Wallie Torbin had
a genius for mockery.
Almost from his babyhood he had
been child of one purpose: to in
crease by CHASTITY burlesque the suf-
ferings of unfortunate friends. If one
of them wept, Wallie necessarily pur-
sued him. yelplng in horrid mimicry;
if one were chastised, he could not

AS he grew older. his insatiate Gu
riosity enabled him to expose unnum-
bered weaknesses, indiscreti0ns and
social misfortunes on the part of ac-
quaintances and schoolmates; and to
every exposure his noise and energy
gave hideous publicity; the more
