Difference in Status of American and
European Farming Class Is Explained

The urban American has little
conception of the European peas
ant, unless it be as the romantic
figure of novel and opera, writes
Carl Joachim Friedrich in the Yale
Review. Except in certain remote
sections, the American farmer is
very different from the peasant of
long-settled countries. To be sure,
both farmer and peasant are en-
gagged in agriculture. But the typi-
cal American farmer is a small
scale producer whose outlook is that
of the business man. In fact, a
great many American farmers are
business men.
While such business men-farmers
are also to be found in Europe, they
are not nearly so predominant.
Apart from the owners of the large
estates employing a considerable
number of men and women, say,
ten or more, almost all European
agriculturists are peasants. They
are tradition-bound. Not only their
personal habits but their methods of
cultivation are handed on from fa-
Their to son, not entirely unchanged,

SYNOPSIS

When Bart Hodge. vain youth Of sixteen,
alights from train at Fardale, he stumbles
over half-blind dog, and in rage kicks
the animal. The dogs owner, Tad Jones,
small. shabby boy who supports his wild
owed mother, denounces him. This nettles
Bart and he slaps Tad. Frank Merriwell.
an orphan of Hodges age, prevents him
from further molesting Tad. Although the
two do not come to blows, Hodge sneeringly
says they will have to settle their differences
later. He and Merriwell had come to Far
dale to attend Fardale academy. While
Hodge consults Joe Bemis. truck driver for
John Snodd, about his baggage. Merriwell.

walking to Snodd's place. Presently the
Snodd truck, with Hodge driving, rumbles
down the road and kills Tad's dog. Occupy.
ing room next to Merriwell's in the Snodd
home Is Barney Mulloy. who dislikes Hodge.
They become good friends. Merriwell offers
to help Mulloy get into one of the academy
dormitories by appealing to Professor
Scotch, friend of Merriwelrs Uncle Asher.
AS they leave the house that evening Hodge
Is talking to INA Burrage, friend OF Be-
linda Snodd Later they meet Tad, who now
has another dog. That night Bart Hodge
crashes a party given by Belinda Snodd.
Hodge sings and the lovely INA Burrage
plays the piano. When Merriwell, seated on
the porch with Mulloy, sings comic song.
Hodge rushes out, accusing him Of insulting
INA. She steps between them, telling Hodge
that Merriwel Is too cheap to deserve his
notice. Next day Merriwell and Mulloy rush
to a grove on John Snodd's farm to warn
picnic party that large dog is running
amuck. Hodge tries to convince INA that
this Is Just trick of Merriwelps. INA, ae.

Injuries her ankle. Hodge fees In terror.
Merriwen single-handed holds off the mad
dog and saves Inza. John Snodd shoots the
animal. Later, Merriwell and Mulloy call on
Professor Scotch, who says the overcrowded
condition Of the dormitories makes 1t neces-
sary for them to share a room-with Bart
Hodge. An erroneous version of the mad
dog episode, obtained from Hodge, who
tries to hide his own cowardice, appears in
the local paper. Later Hodge and his friends
jeer Merriwell and Mulloy as they enter
Union hall. where they have to share a
room with Hodge. Hodge and his friends,
including Hugh Bascomb, football fullback,
are trying to intimidate Merriwell and Null

plan of Hodges cronies to embarrass Merri-
well is all shot to pieces.

These ancient ways at their best
represent time-tested adaptations to
the peculiar local conditions of soil

impose cumbersome hindrances to

right, but the kind of stuff you pull
sometimes isn't funny. You better
watch your step. Now put on your
roller skates and take your little
playmates with you"
Scowling sullenly, the big fellow
led the retreat, and Hodge slipped
out also. The day was spoiled for
him.
''It begins to look as if you can
take care of yourself, Merriwell,"
said Burrage, when the door had
closed behind the departing guests,
"but Pm going to warn you to keep
your eyes skinned for Bascomb.
Hodge isn't half so dangerous as
that big gorilla, and somehow
you've made him love you like poi

Walter Burrage caught his breath
and gave shout of laughter. "Oh,
so that was it! The Grand Canyon!
1t fits! But if that name sticks,
Merriwell, he'll hate you to his dy-
ing day."
Walter Burrage did what he could
to put Frank and Barney in right
at the school. He took them around
and introduced them to several fell
lows who, like himself, had got
somewhere. Friends of mine," was
what he called them, and it was

He always seemed to know when to
be lenient with fellow who had
slipped a cog, and when to crack
down. Youthful human nature was
his study, and he pursued it daily.
He gave Frank and Barney the
biggest part of an hour. This, he
told them, was their day to get
themselves settled into place. To-

CHAPTER v-Continued

"Um-m,' said Walter, lifting his
eyebrows slightly. maybe I was
misinformed. I was told they had
brought salt to rub into your
wounds. fully expected to find you
smarting severely, but you don't
look very miserable"
"Oh, quite the contrary, sir"
"Well, see you've taken the
usual frosh lesson in manners, but
you don't have to sir me. The
sophs like it, but just between our
selves we'll pass it over"
His eyes discovered the newspa-
per on the floor where Bob Gagg
had dropped it, and he picked it
up. "Your paper?" he asked, look
ing at Frank again.
II think it belongs to one of the
visitors. A high-browed young gen.
tleman was reading aloud from it
when Mulloy and l came in. This
is Barney Mulloy. Mr.. Burrage. A
pal"
Burrage gave Barney a cordial
handshake also before he spoke to
Merry again: II guess the highbrow
you mention was reading the dirt I
came here to see you about, Merri-
well. I've read it myself and it's
pretty crummy. I've just come back
from the village after talking to my
sister about it. She's ready to put
on her war paint and 60 out after
scalps."
Hodge had sought retirement in
the background. The appearance of
Inza's brother had filed him with
apprehension. Already the set-up
which he had rugged with Bascomb's
aid had been knocked into cooked
hat, and now the climax threatened
to ditch him in grand crash.
'Inza asked me to see you as
soon as got back here, Merriwell,"
Burrage went on. "She suggested
writing a letter to the paper herself
and telling the truth about what
happened"
That was something Frank hadn't
expected and it brought flush into
his face. ''Now that was kind of
her, Mr.. Burrage," he said, "but /
don't think it'll be necessary. The
Pasteur report will settle whether
the dog was mad or not"
''But what she's sizzling over is
the statement made by Hodge. She
says he ran away and left her to
the mercy of the dog, and she's
sure the beast would have bounced
on hei when she twisted her ankle
and fell down. She thinks it was
marvellous, the way you faced the
furious creature and fought him off
until John Snodd arrived and shot
him."
Now Bart was forced to step for
ward and defend himself. His face
was white and his voice husky and
unsteady.
II don't know whether the dog
was mad or not" he said. 81 never
said l did. But I didn't run away.

to be able to take care of Miss

Burrage gave him a crushing
look ''I've taken the trouble to
talk to those other girls also," he
stated. "They say you didn't stop

coming. They say you hit the high
spots and were rods ahead of them
