tor was certain that he would never
hear the last of it. However on ac-
count of the life of blackmail and
slavery now led by the members of
the old regime, the Orioles extinction
was far less painful to Herbert than
his father supposed; and the latter
wasted great deal of severity, in
sisting that the printing press should
be returned that very night to Uncle
Joseph. Herbert's ,heartiest retrospec-
tive wish was that the ole printing

Herbert bore much more than this;
he had seated himself ON the third
step of the stairway in the hall, and
maintained as much dOgged silence as
he could. Once, however, they got
yelp of anguish out of him. 1t was
when Cousin Virginia said:
"Oh, Herbert. Herbert! How could
you make up that terrible falsehood
about Mr.. Crum? And, think of it;
right on the same page with your
cousin FlOrence's pure little poem ~
Herbert uttered some sounds, totally
incoherent but loud, and expressive of
a supreme revulsion. The shocked
audience readily understood that he.

nor Cousin FlOrence's poem.

Herbert controlled himself. 1t
could be seen that his spirit was not
broken. even when Aunt Fanny
mourned, shaking her head at him,
smiling ruefully:
"Oh, if boys could only be girls !"
Herbert just looked at her.
"The worst thing" said his father
THAT is, if there's any part Of it
that's worse than another-the worst
thing about it is this about Noble
Dill"
"What about that poor thingY
Aunt Harriet asked. "We haven't
heard"
"Why, l walked up from downtown
with old man Dill" said Mr.. Atwater
land the Dill family are all very much
worried. 1t seems that Noble started
downtown after lunch, as usual. and
pretty soon he came back to the house
and he had a copy Of this awful paper
that little Florence had given him
"Who gave it to him?" Aunt Fanny
asked. "Who?"
Little Florence"
"Why, that's curious" Cousin Virgil
MIA murmured. II must telephone and
ask her mother about that"

eye; but he said nothing.
