to run no risk of not being heard,
''This particular boy I've just &C

pie some contact with natures
that have good points, different

How do you mean-civilized?''

He sat back, smiling inwardly.

made Mr.. Wheaton 60 into the air

He had meant to take at least
two days, perhaps three, for his
various errands, but had hastily
revised his trip to suit the Barney
girls, planning to do by letter or
telephone many of the things he
had thought to do in person. Even
so, the day ahead of him was for
midably full. After a shuddering
glance at the headlined news of
Fascist bombing of civilians in
Spain and yet more Nazi savagery
in Germany, he laid down the
paper to plan his comings and
goings. In the BARRIERS chair he
sat somberly dreading his call on

over the length and odd cut of

could afford to overlook.
The door opened, Mrs. Bern

once the manner of friendship. He
wanted just one thing from her,
to know what was the matter
with Jules; and as he expected,
that was the thing she had no in
tention of telling him. Had Jules
passed all his examinations? "Oh
yes indeed, Professor Hume,
you'll find him a very bright stu
dent. Why, I've had teachers tell
me that they never had such "a"
Professor Hume interrupted
her fatty with his request to see
the boys report card.
ooh, I have it right here, Pro-
fessor Hume. I knew that with
a careful person like you that
would be the first thing you'd
ask for" The card came out
from a petit-point bag on her sa-
tin lap.
He gave one look at it. "But,
Mrs. Bernstein, there are no
marks on it for the before-vaca-
ton examinations"
"Ah, trust your experienced eye,
Professor Hume, to see that at a
glance. Ha! Ha! Ha! Anyone can
see that you know all about"
At last he broke through by
raising his voice to say, well,
then I'd like to see his report card

Making no pretense that he was
not interrupting her, he said,
Mrs. Bernstein, I'm afraid I'll
have to telephone to Brentwood
to get your sons record. I could
get it in a few minutes"
After a moment of search in
the desk drawer she drew the
missing card out and reluctantly
showed it. It had, Of course, a

laid it down on the elegant little

Out of a door at the other end
of the long hall tall, thin, stoop-
ed lad of fourteen emerged and
came slowly towards them over
the long strip of red carpet. He
held himself badly, he walked
clumsily. His mother ran to meet
him, enveloping him in an emo

he looked at the visitor out of
melancholy hazel eyes. He said

boys treble not yet changed for
all his height 'Now Mamma,

| Hello, Jules. How do you
do?" said Mr.. Hume in the first
natural tone he had used. He
stepped forward, holding out his
hand.

taut grip. He tried for a manly
bluffness with a "How do you do,
Mr.. Hume" but his eyes cried,
'"Oh, rescue me! Help me to es-

pensive sitting room and sat
