the room, was at the door to go out
for recess, the thrill amounted to a
shock that N him whirling in a pin
wheel of handsprings toward the ball
ground, shouting "scrub-frst bat,
first bat, first bat" from sheer, bub-
bling joy. Piggy made four TALES that
recess, and the other boys couldn't
have put him out, if they had used a
hand grenade or a fire extinguisher.
He received four distinct shots that
day from the eyes of his Hearts Desire,
and the last one sent him home on the
run, tripping up every primary urchin,
whom he found tagging along by the
way, and %whooping at the top of his
voice.
The next morning, Piggy Pennington
astonished his friends by bringing a
big armful of red and yellow and pink
and white roses to school.
, He had never done this before, and
when he had run the gauntlet of the
big boys, who were not afraid to steal
them from him, he made straight for
his schoolroom, and stood holding them
in his hands while the girls gathered
about him teasing for the beauties. 1t
was nearly time for the last bell to
ring, and Piggy knew that his Hearts
Desire would be in the room by the
time he got there. He was not mis-
taken. But Hearts Desire did no
clamor with the other girls for one of
the roses. Piggy stood off their plead
ings as long as he could with Nav"
"Why nav, of course 1 won't" NAV,

still Hearts Desire did not ask for
her flowers. There were but a few
moments left before school would be
called to order, and in desperation
Piggy gave n rose away. 1t vas not
q very pretty rose, but he hoped she
would see that the others were to be
given away, and ask for one. But she
his Hearts Desire-stood near a
window, talking to the fr~eckle-faced
boy. Then Piggy gave away one rose
after another. AS the last bell began
to ring he gave them to the boys, as
the girls were all supplied. And still
she came not. There was one rose left,
the most beautiful of all. She went to
her desk, and as the teacher came in,
bell in hand, Piggy surprised himself.

didn't belong to the school. came up
Ut recess to play, Piggy shuffied evs1
to him and asked grufiy:
"What's your Manner
"Puddin' n tame, asst mt agin 40
I'll tell you the same" said the new
boy, and then there was a fight. 1t
didn't soothe Piggy's feelings one bit
:hat he whipped the new boy, for
the new boy was smaller than Piggy.
And he dared not turn his flushed face
towards his Hearts Desire. 1t was
almost four o'clock when Piggy Pen
nington walked to the masters desk
to get him to work out a problem,
end as he passed the desk of Hearts
Desire he dropped a note in her lap.
1t read:
Are you mad?"
But he dared not look for the au-
swer, as they marched out that night,
so he contented himself with punch
ing the boy ahead of him with a pin,
and stepping on his heels. when they
were in the back part of the room,
where the teacher would not see him.
The King of Boyville walked home
that evening. The courtiers saw plain
ly that his majesty was troubled.
After this feat the king was quiet.
At dusk, when the evening chores
were done, Piggy Pennington walked
past the home of his Hearts Desire
and howled out a doleful ballad which
began:
"You ask what makes this darkey
wee-eep,
Why he like others am not gay"
But a man on the sidewalk passing,
said: well, son, that's pretty good,
but wouldn't you just as lief sing as
to make that noise2" SO the king
went to bed with a heavy heart.
He took that heart to school with
him the text morning, and dragged it
over the school ground, playing crack
the whip and "stink-base." But when
he saw Hearts Desire wearing in her
hair one of the white roses from his
mothers garden-the Pennington's
had the only white roses in the little
town-he knew it was from the wreath
which he had given her, and so light
was his boyish heart that it was with
an effort that he kept 1t out of his
throat. There were smiles and smiles
that day. During the singing they
began, and every time she came past

Carroll's mothers face was radiant.
THANK you, dear, I'm so grateful, -
she smiled. 81 guess all of us need to
be Weakened up sometimes. I had
never thought of my boys sureness
in his ability in the light of self-con-
fidence before. I'll change my 'sys-
tenn this very day.
That was four years ago, and Car
rolls mothers system has been a
different one these four years.
Carroll is now a charming younster,
full of poise and self-confidence.
His teacher tells me she thinks he's
an admirable boy.
What is his best characteristic,
Miss Lloyd?' 1 asked. what is there
about him that appeals to you most?"
Its his self-confidence. His belief
in himself" she told me.
"And do you encourage this in all
your children?" I was very much in
terested.
Indeed l dol" she answered. "Too
many children get little encourage
ment at home. Will parents never
learn the great difference between
egotism and self-contidence?"
l walked away, wondering, too.
In speaking of the kindergarten as
an Americanizing agency, DR.. P. P.
Claxton, former United States Com
missioner of Education, recently said:
Can we expect the alien to believe
that we have his best interests at heart
when we neglect to provide for his
little ones the early training in Eng
fish, honesty, industry and thrift
which are essential to good citizen

raphy, or her grammar, a flood of glad
ness swept over his soul. That night
Piggy Pennington followed the girls
from the schoolhouse to the post office,
and in a burst of enthusiasm he
walked on his hands in front of the
crowd, for nearly a block. When his
Hearts Desire said:
"Ah, amt you afraid you'll hurt
yourself, doing that?" Piggy pretended
not to hear her, and said to the boys:
saw, that amt nothin' come down
to my barn, an I'll do somepin that'Il
make yer head swim"
He was too exuberant to. contain
himself, and when he left the girls
he started to run after a stray chicken,
that happened along, and ran till he
to run in the direction his Hearts De
sire had taken, but he turned a cor
ner, and came up with her suddenly.
Her eyes beamed upon him, and he
could not run away, as he wished.
She made room for him on the side
walk, and he could do nothing but
walk beside her. For a block theY
were SO embarrassed that neither
spoke.
1t was Piggy who broke the silence.
His words came from his heart. He
had not yet learned to speak other
wise.
where's your rose?' he asked. not
seeing it.
what rose?" said the girl, az
though she had never in her short
life heard of such an absurd thing
as a rose.
"Oh, you know" returned the boy,
stepping i%rregularly, to make the tips
of his toes come on the cracks in the
sidewalk. There was another pause.
during which Piggy picked up a peb-
Bile and threw it at a bird in a tree.
His heart was sinking rapidly.
"Oh, that rose?' said his Hearts
Desire, turning full upon him with
the enchantment Of her childish eyes.
"Why, here it Is in my grammar. I'm
taking it to keep with the others.
Why?'
"Oh, nuthin' much" replied the boy.
Il bet you can't do this, "Ihe added,
as he glowed up into her eyes from an
impulsive handspring.
And thus the King of Boyville first
set his light, little foot upon the soil
of an unknown country.

"Mumsey, look at my airplane.
Look, Mumsey dear! Look" begged
six year old Carroll. isn't it just a
beauty?"
Calm youself, Carroll, your air
plane is no better than Micky's. Be
sides, honey boy, it is nothing to get
excited about"
C~arrolls happy little face fell, and
his eyes lost their sparkle.
Guess it isn't much good, Mumsey;
but I did think you'd like it." And
Carroll and Micky picked up their
on%ce-prized airplanes and shufled out
of the room, as if half ashamed of
having shown so much enthusiasm.
81 must kill his egotism," Carroll's
mother exclaimed. He's simply full
of it."
But a mutual friend of Carroll's
mother and of mine, a wise, young
for-her-years grandmother, thought
differently:
MY dear Zelia, you haven't the
right perspective at all. There's a
vast difference between egotism and
self-confidence. Nothing wrong with
a dollar claiming it's worth a hundred
cents, is there? The fault would be
claiming anything less for itself. A
child will grow and expand because
of self-confidence. He will learn to
develop qualities and a character that
will have to live up to his self-es-
teem."
C%arroll's mother interrupted.

Pardon me, my dear, but I still
have the floor" laughed the little Wise
One. you did not play fair with
Carroll when you told him Micky's
airplane was as we'll built as his. 1t

were deliberately trying to shatter a
wonderful possession, self-confidence.

Of Boyvillle, and he had a right to
look straight ahead of him, as IL he
did not hear the question, and say:
locke here, Mealy, l wish you
would go and tell Abe l want him to
hurry up, for 1 want to see hirn."
"Abe" was Piggy's nearest friend.
His other name was Carpenter. Piggy
only wished to be rid of the freckle-
faced boy. But the freckle-faced boy
was not used to royalty and its ways,
so he pushed his inquiry.
Say, Piggy, have you got your red
ball-pants in that bundle?'
There was nc reply. They had gone
a block when the freckle-faced boy
could stand it no longer and said:
Say, Piggy, you needn't be so smart
about your old bundle now honest,
Piggy, what have you got in that bun
dle?"
"Aw-soft soap, take a bite-good
fer yer Appetite said the king, as he
faced about and drew up his left cheek
and lower eye-lid pugnaciously. The
freckle-faced boy saw he would have
to fight if he stayed, so he turned to
go, and said, as though nothing had
happened, "Where do you suppose old
Abe is, anyhow"
JVst before school was called Piggy
Pennington was playing scrub" with
all his might, and a little girl-his
Hearts Desire-was taking out of her
desk a wreath of roses, tied to a shaky
wire frame. There was a crowd of
girls around her admiring it, and spec
ulating about the possible author of
the gift but to these she did not show
the patent medicine card, on which
was scrawled, over the druggists adj
v~ertisement:
"Yours truly, w. II. p"
When the last bell rang, Piggy Pen
nington was the last boy in, and he
did not look toward the desk where he
had put the flowers, until after the
singing.
Then he stole a sidewise glance that
way, and his Hearts Desire was deep
in her geography. 1t was an age be
fore she filed past him with the "B"
class in geography, and took a seat
directly in front of him, where he
could look at her all the time, unob-
served by her. Once she squirmed in
her place and looked toward him. but
Piggy Pennington was head over heels

their eyes did at last meet, just as
