KIT BEGINS TO BE A GREAT MAN, Heedless of the rain Kit went off to ghost, much belated, but jubilant in; 8s heart, He saw life before him nt;-as-his mether had ft him, to stand up to it. = He made a beginning oy standing up to the consequences of his truantry in the shape #f the frown on the brow of Duncan Duncanson, deposed minis- ter and schoolmaster in the parish of Whinnyliggate. "Where have you been, sir?" de- 'manded the stern-pedagogue--Hs had d a "cast out" with his daughter ra that morning on the subject of going to the Red with a black which contained an 'empty bottle. "I have beer swimming in the loch with my dog Royal" said Kit, calm- iy. He bad learned his lesson. The dominie could not believe his ears. Denial of imputed iniquity was so much the rule in Whinnyliggate school that any other course was par- alyzing. Something must be concealed under such superfluous candor. "Wha--at!" cried Duncan Duncan- son, lifting the taws threateningly. "1 have been swimming in the loch with my dog Royal," Kit repeated. His head not yet dry testified that his wit- ness was true. "Stand out," cried the staged dom- nie, snapping the lid of his desk. Thus Kit began his course as a re- formed charac by enduring with- out wincing, and even with a consider- able amount of mental satisfaction, a larger number of "pawmies" than had r been known previously even to Be fberal arithmetic of the deposed minister. He did not feel them very much, and when the master had ex- hausted "himself, Kit still further onished the school hy still holdin out his hand and saying, "Is that a'?" "Go to your seat, sir," thundered the master, and Kit went, rubbing the [im of his right hand against that of 8 Jeft, with an appearance of enjoy. ment which made him the envy every 3 boy and the adoration of every snow, and he bidde: rl. Kit sat down on the worn "form," . and glanced at the lesson-book which he exhumed on his way to school. "He wit from beginning to end. An i came to him.

Let me gang into the 'Coorse'" and I winna troan the schule (play truant)-for-a-year! "You are too young--Tar too young for the 'Course,' " said the astonished teacher, scratching his head: Marvels came too thick that morning. "Try me," said Kit, boldly and suc- cinctly. Duncan Duncanson stared. "Give me a "Course of Reading,' somebody!" he cried. He had a certain respect for that fine school-book, and felt himself personally insulted (as well ae the editorial MacCilloch) by this boy's insolent request. 4 "And if you fail, the licking that you have had will be child's y to what you-will get. Make your count with t, my clever young man." Kit said nothing whatever in reply. He ealy stretched out his hand for the "Where will ye hae her?" he asked. Mr. Duncanson pointed out a lesson in which the properties of the atmos- phe! ere illustrated with a wealth of sciefitific "jaw-breakers." "Read!" he cried, ferociously, ind he tightened his fingers about a hazel stick usually reserved. for the grown-up. youths who frequented. the school in winter. He felt that the most indurated and lead- en-toed "taws" would not meet: the cage if Kit so much as stumbled. But the son of the classical master had a natural affinity for words. Also the master did not know that there was an old copy of Johnson's Dictionary in two big volumes bound: in calf that Kit considered the best reading in his grandfather's house, and the trans- port of which to Crae Cottage he had y. superintendod. . Therefore the properties of oxygen had no ter- rors for him. The master listened at first with surprise, then with a wavering toler- ance, lastly with a rapidly rising ad- miration. But he could not give in before the school. He did not believe in "cockering up" boys. "That will do," he said, austerely. "You can stand up at the foot of the 'Course' class." . 4 "Thus was Kennedy promoted to the highest seats in the synagogue for having gone in swimming with a red collie of indifferent character and more than doubtful antecedents. At the end of school a little girl came up to Kit. She was sweet of face and her eyes were full of com- passion. ? Did it hurt much?" she asked. Kit laughed. "What? Oh, the taws.
