Within View of the window from which Mr. Sobofield was gazing was the closed door of the storeroom in the stable. and Just outside this door Duke was performing a most engaging trick. His young master had taught Duke to “sit up and beg" when he wanted anything. and if that didn’t get it to “speak." Duke was facing the closed door and sitting up and begging. and now he also spokeâ€"In a loud. clear bark. Penrod entered the schoolroom Mon- day morning picturesquely leaning upon a man’s cane. shortened to sup port a cripple approaching the age of twelve. He arrived about twenty min- utes late. limping deeply. his brave young mouth drawn with pain, and the sensation he created must have been a solace to him, the only possible crit- icism of this entrance being that it was just a shade too heroic. Perhaps for that reason it failed to stagger Miss Spence, a woman so saturated with suspicion that she penalized Pen. rod for tardiness as promptly and as coldly as if he had been a mere. or- dinary, unmutilated boy. Nor would she entertain any discussion of the justice of her ruling. It seemed almost that she feared to argue with him. Again the faithful voice of Duke was heard pleading outside the bolted door. “Oh!” she moaned. “It must be kept from Clara. And I’ll never hold up my head again if John Farry ever hears of it!" “Hears of what?" “Well. I just couldn’t stand it. 1 got so curious. And I thought. of course. it Miss Spence had become a little unbalanced it was my duty to know it as Penrod’s mother and she his teacher. So I thought I would just call on her at her apartment after school and have a chat and see. And I did. and-oh”â€" “Well?" “I‘ve just come from there, and she told meâ€"she told me! Oh, I’ve never known anything like this!" “What did she tell you '1" Mrs. Schofield. making a great et« fort. managed to assume a temporary appearance of calm. “Henry." she said solemnly. “bear this in mind. whatever you do to Pent-0d it must be done in some place when Clara won’t hear it. But the first thing to do is to find him.” Om rtlinxly. snooping to look under the piano. A statement that he had sud- denly remembered his son’s presence would be lacking in accuracy. for the highly sensitized Penrod was, in fact. no longer present. No more was Duke. his faithful dog. » “What’s the matter?" “Nothing." he returned, striding to the open window and looking out. “Go on.” However. the distinction of cane and limp remained to him, consolations which he protracted far into the Week -â€"until Thursday evening, in fact, when Mr. Schofleld. observing from a win dow his son’s pursuit of Duke round and round the back yard. confiscated the cane. with the promise that it should not remain idle it‘ he saw Pen- rod limping again. Thus. succeeding a depressing Friday. another Saturday brought the necessity for new inven- tions. it was a scented morning in apple blossom time. At about ten of the clock Penrod emerged hastily from the kitchen door. Ilis pockets bulged abnormally. so did his cheeks. and he swallowed with ditficulty. A threat- ening mop. wielded by a cooklike arm in a checkered sleeve. followed him through the doorway. and he was pre- ceded by a small. hurried, wistful do"; with a warm doughnut in his mouth. The kitchen door slammed petulmltly. lncloslng the sore voice of Della. where- upon Penwd and Duke seated them- selves upon the pleasant award and immediately consumed the spoils of their raid. From the cross stroet which formed the side boundary of the Svhotields' ample yard came a jingle or harness and the cadenced «latter of a pair 01‘ trotting homes. and Penrod. looking up. beheld the passing of a fat ac- quaintance. torpld amid the conserva- tive splentlors of a rather old fashion- ed victoriu. This was Roderick Mags;- wortb Bltts. .lr.. a fellow sufferer at the Friday afternoon danolng class. but otherwise not often a companion: a tmme sheltered lad. tutored private- ly and preserved against the nonrsen- in: inflnem'es of nude eomradeship and mimoellanenus information.

The Magswnrth Bittses were lmpor but because they were impressive. There was no other reason. And they were impressive because they believed themselves important. The adults of the family were lmpregnably formal. They dressed with reticent elegance and wore the same nose and the same expressionâ€"an eXpression which indi- cated that they knew something ex~ qnisite and sacred which other peOple could never know. Other people in their presence were apt to feel myste- riously ignohle and to become secretly uneasy about ancestors. gloves and pronunciation. The Magsworth Bitts manner was withholding and reserve though sometimes gracious granting small smiles as great favors and giv- ing off a chilling kind of preciousness. Naturally when any citizen of the com. munity did anything unconventional or improper or made a mistake or had a relative who went wrong that citizen's first and worst fear was that the Mags- worth Bittses would hear of it. In fact, this painful family had for years terrorized the community. though the community had never realized that it was terrorized and invariably spoke of the family as the “most charming cir- cle in town." l-iy common consent Mrs Roderick Magmvorih Bills olfici- atcd as the supreme model as well as critic in chief of morals and deport- tnehl for all the unlucky people pros- perous enough to be elevated to her acquaintance. uf Magsworth was the Important part of the name.
