The ment most distant from the front porch. and twenty minutes later Pen- x'od descended to dinner. The Rev. Mr. Kinosling had asked for the pleasure of meeting him, and it had been decid- ed that the only course possible was to cover up the scandal for the present. and to offer an undisturbed and smil- ing family surface to the gaze of the visitor. Scorched but not bowed. the smolder- ing Penrod was led forward for the so- cial formulae simultaneously with the somewhat bleak departure of Robert Williams. who took. his guitar with him. this time. and went in forlom unconsciousness of the powerful forces already set in secret motion to be his allies. The punishment just undergone had j but made the haughty and unyielding: soul of Penrod more stalwart in revolt. ; He was unconquered. Every time the i one intolerable insult had been offered 3 him his resentment had become the-l hotter. his vengeance the more instant ; and furious. And. still burning Withi outrage, but upheld by the conviction1 of right. he was determined to continue 1 to the last drop of his blood the de-l fense of his honor. whenever it should 1 be assailed. no matter how mighty or‘ august the powers that attacked it. In all ways. he was a very sore boy. During the brief ceremony of presen- tzztion his usually inscrutable counte- nance wore an expression interpreted by his father as one of insane obstina- cy. while Mrs. Schofield found it an in- centive to inward prayer. The fine gra- eiousness of Mr. Kinosling. however, was unimpaired by the glare of viru- lent suspicion given him by this little brother; Mr. Kinosling mistook it for a natural curiosity concerning one who might possibly become, in time, a mem- her of the family. He patted Penrod upon the head. which was, for many reasons. in no condition to be patted with any pleasure to the pattee. Pen- rod felt himself in the presence of a new enemy. “How do you do, Mr. Kinosling. “I come fast friends.” To the ear of his little lad it seem- ed he said. “A trost we shall bick- bome‘fawst frainds.” Mr. Kinosling’s pronunciation was. in fact, slightly precious, and the little lad, simply mistaking it for some cryptic tom of mockery of himself, assumed a manner and expression which argued so 111 for the proposed friendship that Mrs. SeliBfleld hastily interposed the sug- gestion of dinner, and the small pro- cession went in to the dining room. “It has been a delicious day,” said Mr. Kinosling presently; “warm, but balmy.” With a benevolent smile he addressed Penrod, Who sat opposite him. “I suppose, little gentleman, you have been indulging in the usual out- door sports of vacation?” Pentâ€"0d laid down his fork and glar- ed open mouthed at Mr. ginosling. 7' “Y-ou’ll have another slice of breast of the chicken?” Mr. Schofield inquir- ed loudly and quickly. “A lovely day!” exclaimed Margaret. with equal promptitude and emph’asis. “Lovely; oh, lovely, lovely!” Mrs. Schofield, and after a glance at Penrod which confirmed her impres- sion that; he intended to say some- thing she oontinued, “Yes, beautiful. beautiful, beautiful. beautiful, beauti- ful, beautiful!” Penrod closed his mouth and sank back in his chair, and his relatives took breath. Mr. Kinosling looked pleased. This responsive family, with its ready en- thusiasm, made the kind of audience he liked. He passed a delicate white hand gracefully over his tall, pale forehead and smiled indulgently. hog” m..- “Youth relaxes in summer,” he said. “Boyhood is the age of relaxation; one is playful, light, free, unfettered. One runs and leaps and enjoys one’s self with one’s companions. It is good for the little lads to play with their friends -â€"they jostle, push and wrestle and simulate little, happy struggles with one another in harmless conflict. The young muscles are toughening. It is good. Boyish chivalry develops, en- larges, expands. The young learn quickly, intuitively, spontaneously. They perceive the obligations of no- blesse oblige.

I understand them. you see: and let me tell you it is no easy matter to understand the little lads and lassies.” He sent. to each listener his beaming glance and, permitting it to come to rest upon I’enrod, inquired: “And What do you say to that, little gentleman ?" Mr. Schofield uttered a stentorian cough. "More? You’d better have some more chicken! More! Do!” It is not known in what light Mr. Kinosling viewed the expression of Penrod’s face. Perhaps he mistook it for awe; perhaps he received no im- pression at all of its extraordinary quality. He'was a rather selt’ engross- ed young man. just then engaged in a double occupation, for he not only talk- ed. but supplied from‘liis own con- sciousuess a critical though favorable auditor as well. which. of course. kept him quite busy.

At any instant Mr. Schofield held himself ready to cough Vehemently and shout. “More chicken,” to drown out l’om'od in case the fatal words again fell from those eloquent lips, and Mrs. Scholiehl and Margaret kept themselves prepared at all times to assist him. So passed a threatening meal. Which Mrs. Scholield hurried by every means within decency to its con- clusion. She felt that somehow they would be safer out in the dark of the front porch and led the way thither as soon as possible. “No cigar. I thank you.” Mr. Kinos- ting. establishing himself in a wicket chair beside Margaret. waved away her father’s proffer. “I do not smoke. I have never tasted tobacco in any form.” Mrs. Scbofield was confirmed in her opinion that this would be an «deal son-in-law. Mr. Scbofield was not 80 sure. “No.” said Mr. Kinosling. “No to- bacco for me. No ci at. no pipe. no cigarette. n0 cheroot. For me a bank â€"-a volume of poems, perhaps.

Then he passed those grace- ful fingers over his hair and turned to- ward Penrod, who was perched upon the railing in a dark corner. “The evening is touched with a slight coolness,” said Mr. Kinosling. “Per~ haps I may request the little gentle “B’gr-r-ruff" coughed Mr. Schofield. “You’d better change your mind about a cigar.” “No, I thank you. I was about to request the lit”â€" “Do try one,” Margaret urged. “I’m sure papa’s are nice ones. Do try”â€" “No, I thank you. I remarked a slight coolness in the air, and my hat is in the hallway. I was about to re- quest”â€" “I’ll get it for you,’ suddenly. “It you will be so good,” said Mr. Kinosling. “It is a black bowler hat. little gentleman, and placed upon a me ble in the hall.” 'â€"â€"V “l know where it Is.” Penrod entero ed the door, and a feeling of relief, mu< tually experienced. carried. from one to another or his three relatives their in- terchanged congratulations that he had recovered. his sanity. “ ‘The day is done and the dark-. ness,’ ” began Mr. Kinoslingâ€"and re- cited that poem entire. He followed it with “The Children’s Hour.” and. alter a pau'se at the close, to allow his listeners time for a little reflectlon upon his rendition, he passed his hand again over his head and called in the direction or the doorway: “Here it is,” said Penrod. unexpect- edly climbing over the porch railing in the other direction. His mother and father and Margaret had supposed him to be standing in the hallway out of. deference and because he thought it tactful not to interrupt the recitations. All of them remembered later that this supposed thoughtfulness on his part struck them as unnatural. “I believe I will take my hat now. little gentleman.” n. lâ€"{tt'le â€" gentleman!” Mr. Klnosling, and being somewhat chilled, placed the bat firmly upon his head, pulling it down as far as it would go.
