moody silence as though he had

No warping Of standards could
keep 1t on its pedestal. But the
real sorrow, in his heart drove
him to try to find excuses for
Don. Great Scott! it was hard to
lose! How could you blame any

? because early in the morning
were going out for mussels.
"Mussels!" Bobby and Bunny
exclaimed. why l thought you
didn't like mussels."
II don't like to eat them. but
I like them for one thing, and I'll
tell you about it when we gather
enough"
The next day we started along
the shore with our wheelbarrow
to gather mussels, which grew in
great numbers along the rocky
coast. We gathered them by .he
wheelbarrowful. The boys couldn't
understand why I trundled them
all back to my breakwater and
dumped them among the rocks.
Then 1 told them why I was
doing it. 1 said:
Years agow hen the French
men built the great breakwater
at Cherbourg. the engineers used
mussels to hold it together.
These little mussels spin a silk
and attach themselves to the
rocks in groups. Each little mus
sci spins silken rope of its own
and then they all spin together in
one thick rope-Which is stronger
than any rope man can manu-
facture. In this way mussels
hold rocks together better than
any cement that was ever mixed.
and that's what I'm hoping these
little fellows will do for me-
hold the rocks of my breakwater
together"
Did they do it? Some day I'll
take you down to my cottage at
the seashOre and show you how
those delicate little mussels that
you could crush with your fin
gers, banded together and kept
the great ocean from washing
my beach away.

moment, Neale had forgotten
whether she was a girl or a boy.
She was a good sport. That was
what he needed. He started to
speak, but a shout of laughter
burst out of the room below
them. They looked down. In
the center of the vociferously
amused circle of spectators, Don
was making fun of his late ad-
versary's gawky manners ana

in his hand, and glaring through
it with a burlesque of Peterson's

When Neale turned out his
Welsbach burner and rolled into
bed, he encountered a strange,
new sensation, an immense re-
lief just to lay himself down,
and to have darkness about him.
For the first time in his life he
was consciously very tired, for
the first time he knew the adult
sensation Of having lived to the
point of WEAKNESS, for the first
time he felt the passive sweet

For a moment, Neale lay there,
drowned in astonishment at this
new, unguessed-at pleasure. Then,
without warning, the thick cloud
of boys sleep dropped over
him like black velvet.

and racketed noisily to and fro
from the dining-room to the sit

humping and giggling at the con-

the tune changed to the Georgia
