CHAPTER XII. The Inner Boy. ENROD went home in splendor. P pretending that he and Duke were a long procession. and he made enough noise to render the auricular part of the illusion per- fect. His own family was already at the lunch table when he arrived. and the parade halted only at the door of the dining mom. "Ob. something!” shouted Mr. Scho- fleld. (-Iasping his bllloua brow with both hands. “Stop that noise! isn‘t it awful enough for you. to sing? Sit down! Not with that thing on! Take that green rope on' your shoulder! Now take that thing out of the dining room and throw it it the ashcan! Where did you get it?" Penrod‘s eyes met Margaret’s. Hers had a strained expression. She very slightly shook her head Penrod sent Mr. Williams a grateful look and might have been startled it he could have seen himself in a mirror at that moment, for he regarded Mitchy-Mltch “That daâ€"that third hand concern tina." “It’s a ’cordion." said Penrod. taking his place at the table and noticing that both Margaret and Robert Wil- liams (who happened to be a guest) were growing red. “I don’t care what you call It." said Mr. Schofleld lrfltably. “I want to know where you got it.” with concealed but vigorous aversion. and the resemblance would have hard- fied him. “A man gave it to me.” he answered gently and was rewarded by the vial- bly regained ease of his patron’s man- ner, while Margaret leaned back In her chair and looked at her brother with real devotion “I should think he’d have been glad to,” said Mr. Schofield~ “Who was he ?" “Yel. air; a man give It to me.” “I nay. Who was he?” shouted Mr. Schofleld. “Well. I was Just walking along. nnd the man came up to me. It was right down in front of Oolgatea’, where most of the paint’a rubbed 06 the fence”â€" “Sit?" in spite of the candy which be had consumed in company with Marjorie and Mitchy-Mimh Penrod had begun to eat lobster croquettea ear- neatly. “Who was he?” “Who do you mean. papa?" “The man that gave you that chut- iy thing!” “Penrod!” The father and his most dangerous tone. “Sir?” the Concertina ?” “I don’t know. I was walking along and”â€" “You never saw him before?" “No. slr. l was Just walk”â€" "Tbat will do.” said Mr. Schofleld. rising. “I suppose every family has its secret enemies and this was one of ours. I must ask to be excused." With that he went out crossly. stop- ping in the hall a moment before pass. ing beyond hearing. And after lunrh l’enrod sought in vain for his accor- dion. He even search-3d the library. where his father sat wading. though. upon inquiry. Penrml explained that he was looking for :l misplaced school book. He thought he. ought to study a little every day. he said. even during vacation time. Much pleased. Mr. Schofleld rose and joined the search. finding the missing wn'k on mathe- matics with singular easeâ€"which cost him precisely the prir‘e of the bad: the following September. Penrod departed to study la the back yard There. after a cautious survey of the neighborhood. he managed to dislodge the iron cover of the cistern and dropped the arithmetic within. A fine splash rewarded his listening ear. Thus assured that when he looked for that book again no one would find it for him. he replaced the cover and he- took himself peuslvely to the highway. discouraging Duke from following by repeated volleys of stones. some lm- nglnary and others all too real. Arrived upon the populous and res- tive scene or the dog and pony show. he first turned his attention to the brightly decorated booths which .sur- rounded the tent. The cries of the peanm renders. of the popcorn men. of the toy balloon sellers. the stirring music of the band. playing before the performance to attract: a crowd: the Ihoutinz of excited children and the barking-of the dogs within the tent. all sounded exhilaratingly m Penrpd‘s PENROD was the man that gave you They left a hottish taste in his month; they had not been quite up to his anticipation, indeed. and it was with a sense of relief that he turned to the hokey-pokey cart which stood ‘ close at hand. laden with square slabs lot Neapolitan ice cream wrapped in a paper.

Mug in hand. a gentle glow radiating toward his surface from various centers of ac- tivity deep inside him. he paused for breath. and the cool. sweet cadences or the watermelon man fell delectably upon his ear: Penrod. having drained the last drop of cider. complied with the watermelon man’s luscious entreaty and received a round slice of the fruit. magnificent in oil'cuml'erence and something over an inch in thickness. Leaving only the really dangerous part of the rind be- hind him. he wandered away from the vicinity of the watermelon man and supplied himselt with a hag of pea- nuts. which. with the expenditure of a dime for admission. left a quarter still warm in his pocket, However. he managed to ”break" the coin at a stand inside the tent. where a large. oblong paper box of popcorn was hand- ed him with 20 cents change The box was too large to go into his pocket. but having seated himself among some wistful Polack children he placed it in his lap and devoured the content: at leisure during the performance. The popcorn was heavily larded with par- "lce cole watermelon; lce cole water- melon!

After that he ate with less avidity, a sense almost of satiety beginning to manifest itself to him, and lt was not until the close of the performance that he disposed of the last morsel. He descended a little heavily to the outflowin: crowd in the arena and bought a «'uterwauling toy balloon. but showed no great enthusiasm in manip. ulating it. Near the exit as he came out was a hot wame stand which he had overlooked. and a sense of duty obliged him to consume the three wat- fies. thickly powdered with sugar. which the wame man cooked for him upon command. He walked away. too languid to blow his balloon. and passed a fresh tafly booth with strange indifference. A hare armed man was manipulating the tat‘l’y over a hook. pulling a great white mass to the desired stage of “candy- ing." but l’enrod did not pause to watch the operation. In fact, he avert- ed his eyes (which were slightly glazed) in passing. He did not analyze his motives. Simply he was conscious that he preferred not to look at the mass of taify. For some reason he put a considera- ble distance between himself and the taffy stand. but before long halted in the presence or a red faced man who flourished a long fork over a small cooking apparatus and shouted Jovlal. ly: "Wlnnles!

But memory is against his inwards that opportunity knocked at his door. “Winny wnrst” was rigidly forbidden by the home an- thorities.
