in the home town. The old gentle
man, a veteran of the Civil war,
endeavors to impress the young
ster with the significance of the
great conflict, and many years aft
erward the boy was to remember
his words with startling vividness.
In the schoolroom, a few years
afterward, Ramsey is not distin-
guished for remarkable ability,
though his pronounced dislikes are
arithmetic, "Recitations" and Ger

school, where he and Dora are
classmates, Ramsey continues to
feel that the girl delights to mani

alarming, eliminating in the reso-
luton that some day he will

sey is captured bag and baggage
by Milla Rust, the class beauty,
and endures the agonies of his first

He had a long afternoon Of an

when he tried to face the problem Of
his future course toward Milla. He
did not face it at all, in fact, but mere

when Friday evening was upon him
and Milla waiting for him to take her
to the ''band concert" with "Alb and

Four beautiful models, sure Of max

said she was his forever.
Suddenly he was seized with hor-
ror of her.
Moisture broke out heavily upon
him; he felt definite sickness, and,
wishing for death, went forth upon the
streets to walk and walk. He cared
not whittier, so that his feet took him
in any direction away from Milla,
since they were unable to take him
away from himself-of whom he had
as great horror. Her loving face was
continually before him, and its, sweet
ness made his flesh creep. Milla had
been too sweet.
When he met or passed people, it
seemed to him that perhaps they were
able to recognize upon him somewhere
the marks of his low quality.
"Softy! Ole sloppy fool" he NUT
tered, addressing himself. "Slushy
ole mush! Spooner" And
he added, "Yours forever, kiddo!'
Commissions seemed about to seize
him.

that she despised him and now, all at
once, he thought that she was justified.
Leper that he had become, he was I'M
worthy to be even touching his cap to
her And as she nodded and went
brislly on, he would have given any,
thing to turn and walk little way
with her, for it seemed to him that this
might fumigate his morals. But he
lacked the courage, and, besides. he
