Even he could see that the offer im- plied his being starred as the parse mount attraction of a new order of things. It was obvious that he had swelled out suddenly. in the estimation of the other boys. to that importance which he had been taught to believe his native gift and natural right. The sensation was pleasant He had often been treated with efl'asion by grownup callers and by acquaintances of his mother and sisters. He had heard 1a- dies speak of him as “charming” and “that delightful child," and little girls had sometimes shown him deference, but until this moment no boy had ever allowed him for one moment to pre- sume even to equality. Now. in a trico he was not only admitted to comrade- ship. but patently vaiued as something rare and sacred. to be acclaimed and pedestaled.

Penrod’s reason staggered under the crisis. For a horrible moment he saw Mrs. Roderick Magsworth Bitts ap- proaching like some. fatal mountain in avalanche. She seemed to grow larger and redder: lightnings played about her head. He had a vague conscious. ness of the audience spraying out in flight. of the squealings. tramplings and dispersals of a stricken field. The mountain was close upon him- He stood by the open mouth of the hay chute which went through the floor to the manger below. Penrod also went through the floor. He pro- pelled himself into the chute and shot down. but not quite to the manger, for Mr. Samuel Williams had thought- fully stepped into the chute a moment in advance of his partner. Penrod lit upon Sam. Catastrophic noises remanded in the loft; volcanoes seemed to romp upon the stairway. There ensued a period when only a shrill keening marked the passing of Roderick as he was home to the tum- bril. Then all was silence. Sunset striking through a western window rouged the walls of the Scho- flelds' library, where gathered a joint family council and murt martial of tourâ€"Mrs. Schofield. Mr. Schofleld and Mr. and Mrs. Williams. parents of Samuel of that ilk. Mr. Williams read aloud a conspicuous passage from the last edition of the evening paper: “Prominent [990019 here believed gentilnmu :u I all are now Magsworth Bi nephew of th 11.

Mrs. Schofield wore a similar expression. 80 did Mr. Schofield. So did Mr. W11- llama. “What did she say when she called you up ?” Mrs. Schofield inquired breath- lessly of Mrs. Williams. , 7Vsi1e could hardly speak at first. and then when she did (all: she talked so fast I couldn’t understand most of it. and"- “I néver did hear any one in such a state before." continued Mrs. Williams. “80 furious”â€" “Quite justly. of course." said Mrs. Schofleld. zit was Just the same when she tried to talk to me." said Mrs. Schofleld. nodding. “Of course.

She said that Roderick had never been allowed to associate withâ€"with common boys”â€" “Meanlng Sam and Penrod,” and Mrs. Schofleld. “Yes. she said that to “Hundreds and hundreds!" said Mrs. Williams. “I’m afraid it will be t great comedown for them._” “I'm afraid so.” said Mrs. Schofleld gently. “A very great oneâ€"yes. a very. very great one." “Well.” observed Mrs. Williams after a thoughtful pause. “there’s only one thing to be done. and I suppose it had better be done right away.” ”I searched it. They’ve probably started for the far west.” “Did you look in the sawdust box?” “No. I didn’t." “Then that’s where they are.” Thus in the early twilight the now historic stable was approached by two fathers charged to do the only thing to be done. They entered the stateroom. “Penrod!” said Mr. Schofield. "Sam!" said Mr. Williams. Nothing disturbed the twilight hush. But by means of a ladder brought from the carriage house Mr. Schofleld mounted to the top of the sawdust box. He looked within and discerned the dim outlines of three quiet figural. the third being that of a small dog. “Certainly," Mr. Schofleld agreed. “But where are they?” “Have you looked in the stable?" asked his wife. 1" I’m mom.

About fifteen minutes later Penrod. hurriedly entering the corner drug store, two blocks distant, was aston- ished to perceive a familiar form at the soda counter. “Yay, Penrod." said Sam Williams. “want some sody? Come on. He didn’t lick me. He didn’t do anything to me at all. He gave me a quarter." “So’d mine.' said Penrod. 9060000.009900990090909...09¢00.0900009000009009009. 00”“000900609000000”...
