In the home town. Tho old gentle
man, a veteran of the Civil war,
endeavors to Impress tho youngster
with tho slcnlflcance of tho great
conflict, and many yenrs afterward
tho boy war to rcmembor his
words with Btartllnp vividness. In

CHAPTER II. Continued:

Sometimes, too, there were moments
of relaxation In her class, when she
would stop tlio lesson and tell tho
children nhout Germany: What n beau
tiful, good country It wns, so trim and
orderly, with such pleasant customs,
and nil the people sensible, energetic
and healthy. There was "Music" again
In the German class, which was an
other nllcvlntlon;' though It was the
same old "Star Spangled Banner" over
rgnln. Ramsey was tired of the Hong
and tired of "My Country 'Tis of
Thee"; they were byes, but It was
amusing to sing them lu German. In
Ocrmnn they sounded "sort o' funny,"
'eo he didn't mind this bit of the day's
worlc.
1 Half an hour Inter there arrived his
Buproiuc trial of this particular morn
ing. Arithmetic then being the order
of business before the house, he wus
sent alone to tho blackboard, supposed
'ly to malto lucid tho proper reply to
n fatal conundrum In decimals, and
.under the glare and focus of the
whole room he breathed heavily ami
Itched everywhere; his brain at once
became sheer hash. He consumed ns
much time an posslblo In getting tho
terms of the problem stntcd In chalk;
then, affecting to be critical of his own
handiwork, crnsed what ho had dono
and carefully wroto It again. After
that ho erased half of It, slowly re
traced figures, and stepped back ns If
to seo whether perspective Improved
their appearance. Again ho lifted the
eraser.
"Ilumscy Mllliolland 1"
"Ma'am?"
"Put- jlnivn Jhnt nmtnrl"
ft.
"Ycs'in. I Just thought"
Sharply bidden to get forward with
his task, he explained In a feeble voice
'that he had tlrst to tic a shoestring
and stooped to do so, but wns not per
mitted. Miss IMdgely tried to stimu
late him with hints and suggestion;
found him, so far ns decimals went,
more protoplasm, and, wondering how
So helpless a thing could live, sum
moned to the board little Dora Yocum,
tho star of the cluss, whereupon Ilam
sey moved toward his scat.
"Stand still, Iliunscyl You stay
right where you nre mid try to learn
something from the way Dora docs
It."
The class giggled, and Ilumsey stood,
but learned nothing. Ills conspicuous
ncss wus unendurable, because all of
his schoolmates naturally found more
entertainment In watching him Uian
In following tho performance of tho
capable Dora.
Instructed to watch every figure
chalked up by tho mathematical won
der, his yes, grown sodden, were un
,nblo to remove themselves from the
iPnrt In her Imlr nt the back of her
head, where two little brnlds began
Ithelr separate curecrs to cud In a cou
ple of blue-nnd-ml-chcckcil bits of rib-
bon, one upon each of her thin shoul
der blades. Ills sensations clogged his
intellect; he suffered from unsought
notoriety, aud hated Dora Yocum;
most of ull ho hutcd her busy little
shoulder blades.
IIq hud to be "kept in" after school ;
uud. when ho was allowed to go home
ho, avertcdhls eyes us ho went by the
house where Dora lived. She was out
la the yard, eating a doughnut, nnd
he knew it ; but ho had passed tho ago
when It Is Just ns permissible to throw
'a rock at a girl as at a boy; and
'otlfllng his normal Inclinations, ho
walked sturdily on, though bo Indulged
himself so ft.r ns to engage In a mur
mured conversation with ono of the
familiar spirits dwellllng somewhere
within him. "Pfal" said Ramsey to
himself or himself to Ramsey, since
it Is dllllcult to say which was which.
"Pfa 1 Thinks Bhe's Branrt, don't she?'
. . . Well, I guess sho docs, but she
ain't 1" . . . "I hate her, don't you?"
. . . "You bet your life I bate her 1" . . .
Teacher's Pet, that's what I coll herl"
, . . "Well, that's what I call her,
loo, don't I?" "Well, I do; that's all
ho Is, anyway dirty ole Teacher'g
Pet I"
CHAPTER III.
He had not forgiven her four years
later when he entered high school In

'managed to shovel his way through

than sho used to be, At least, he wns
honest enough to mako a partial re
traction when his friend and class
mate, Fred Mitchell, Insisted that nn
amelioration of Dora's appearance
could be actually proven,
"Well, I'll tnko it back. I don't
claim she's every last bit as awful
lookin' as she nlways has been," snld
Ramsey, toward tho conclusion of the
argument. "I'll say this for her, she's
awful lookin', but sho may not be ns
awful lookin' as sho was. Sho don't
come to school with tlio edge of some
of her underclo'cs showln' below her
dress any more, about overy other day,
and her eyewlnkcrs have got to stick
In' out some, nnd sho may not bo so
nbbnsalootly skinny, but she'll haf to
wait a mighty long whllo before I
want to look nt her without gcltln'
slckl"
Tho Implication that Miss Yocum
enred to have Ramsey' look at her,
cither with or without gcttln' sick, was
mcro rhetoric, nnd recognized as such
by tho producer of It; she had hover
given the slightest evidence of any
desire that his gaze ho bent upon her.
What truth lay underneath his flour
ish rested upon tho fact that he could
not look nt her without some symp
toms of the sort he had tersely
sketched to hln friend; nnd yet, so
pungent Is the fascination of solf-ln-dieted
misery, ho did look nt her, dur
ing periods of study, often for three or
four minutes at a stretch. Mb ex
pression nt such times Indeed resem
bled that of ono who has dined un
wisely; hut Dora Yocum wns nlwnys
too cngcrly busy to notlco It. IIo was
almost never In her eye, but sho was
continually In his; moreover, ns tho
banner pupil sho was with hourly fre
quency an exhibit beforo tho whole
cluss.
Ramsey found her worst of nil when
her turn enmo In "Dcclnmntlon," on
Friday afternoons. When sho nscend-
" 'Most Pottont, Grave and Rev' "
cd tho platform, bobbed a little pre
paratory bow nnd began, "Listen, my
children, nnd you shall hear," Ram
sey Included Paul Revere and the Old
North church und'tho whole Revolu
tionary war in his antipathy, slncoj
they somehow appeared to ho the
property of the Teacher's Pet. For
Dora held this post In "Declamation"
ns well us In everything else; here, as
elsewhere, tho hateful child's prowess
surpassed thut of all othors; und the
teachor ulwnys entrusted her with the
rendition of tho "patriotic selections."
Rumsey himself was In tho same
section of doclnlmcrs, aud performed
next n ghastly contrast. IIo gnvo a
"selection from Shakespeare," assigned
by tho teacher ; and ho began this con
tinuous mlsfortuno by stumbling vio
lently ns he ascended tho plntform,
which stimulated a general glgglo al
ready In being at the mere calling of
his name. All of tho class wero bright
with happy anticipation, for tho mis
erable Ramsey seldom failed their
hopes, particularly in "Declarantlon."
Ho fuccd them, his complexion wan,
his expression both baleful and horri
fied; and he began In a loud, hurried
volco, from which overy hint "of Intel-
llgencc was excluded:
" 'Most pottcnt, grave uud rev' "
The teacher tapped sharply on her
desk, and stopped him. "You've for
gotten to bow," she said. "And don't
say 'pottcnt.' Tho word Is 'potent'."
Ramsey flopped his head at the rear
wall of the room, and began again :
"Most pottent potent grave and rev
enerd signers my very nobo and ap
proved good masters that I have tan
away this sole man's dutter It Is moso
true true I have marry dur tho very
beadan frun tuv my fending hath this
extent no mora rude am I In speech
In speech ruda am I In speech In
speech In spcoch In ancech -"
He had martol. Perhaps tho fatal
truth of that phrase, und some sense
of Its applicability to tho occasion hud
Interfered with the mechanism which
he had set In operation to get rid of
the "recitation" for hint. At all events,
the machine had to run off Its job nil
nt once, or It wouldn't run at nil. IIo
gulped audibly. "Rude rude rudo am
I rude am I in speech In speech-In
speech. Rude am I in speech "
"Yes," the Irritated teacher Bald, ns
Ramsey's falling volco continued husk
ily to insist upon this point. "I think
you nre t" And her nerves wcro a lit
tle soothed by the shout of lnughtcr
from the school It was never dllllcult
for teachers to be witty. "Go sit down,
Ramsey, and do It after school."
His cars roaring, the unfortunnto
went to his sent and, umong all the hi
larious faces, ono stood out Dora Yo
cum's. Her laughter wns precocious;
It wns that of n confirmed superior, In
sufferably adult sho was laughing nt
him ns n grown person lnughs nt n
child. Conspicuously nnd unmistaka
bly, there wns something Indulgent In
her nmusement. He choked. IIo
didn't core for George Washington, or
Paul Revere, or the teacher, or tho
President of tho United States, or
Shakespeare, or nny of 'em. They
could nil go to tho dickens with Dora
Yocum. They wcro nil a lot of smart
les anyway und ho hated the whole
stew of 'em I
There wns ono, however, whom he
somehow couldn't mnnugo to hnte,
even though this one ofllclnlly seemed
to bo ns intimately associated with
Dora Yocum nnd superiority ns tho
others were. Ramsey couldn't hnto
Abraham Lincoln, even when Dora
wns chosen to deliver the "Gettysburg
Address," on tho twelfth of February.
Lincoln had said "Government of tho
pooplc, by tho people, for the people,"
und thnt didn't mean government by
the teacher and the Teacher's Pet nnd
Pnul Revere nnd Shakespeare nnd
suchlike; it meant government by
everybody, nnd therefore Ramsey hnd
ns much to do with It ns anybody elso
had. Beyond a doubt, Dora nnd tho
teacher thought Lincoln belonged to
them and their crowd of cxcluslvcs;
they seemed to think they owned the
whole United States; but Ramsey was
suro they wero mistaken about Abra
ham Lincoln.
Ho felt that It wus Just like this lit
tle Yocum snippet to nssumo such n
thing, nnd It made him sicker than
ever to look ut her.
Then, one day, ho noticed that her
eye-winkers wero stlckln' out farther
und farther.
His discovery Irritated him tho
more. Next thing, this ole Teacher's
Pet would do eho'd get to thlnkln' she
wus pretty I If that happened, well,
nobody could stand herl The long
lashes mado her eyes shadowy, nnd It
wns n fact that her shoulder blndcs
censed to Insist upon notoriety; you
couldn't tell where they were at nil,
any more.
A contemptible tldng happened.
Wesley Render wns well known to bo
the most untitdy boy In the class, nnd
had never shown any rcmorso for his
reputation or made tho slightest effort
cither to Improve or to dispute It. IIo
wns content: It failed to lower his
standing with his fellows or to Im
press them unfavorably. In fact, ha
wus treated ns one who has nttnlned
n slight distinction. It helped him to
become better known, nnd boys liked
to be seen with him. But ono day,
there wns a rearrangement of tho
seating In tho schoolroom: Wesley
Bender wns given a desk next In front
of Dora Yocuin's; nnd within n week
tho wholo room know thnt Wesley had
begun voluntarily to wash his neck
tho back of It, anyhow.
This was at the bottom of the fight
between Ramsey Mllliolland and Wes
ley Bender, nnd the diplomatic ex
changes Immediately preceding hostili
ties wcro charmingly frank nnd un
hypocritical, nlthough quite as mixed-
up and off-thc-lssuo as If they had
been prepared by professional foreign
ofllco men. Ramsey nnd Fred Mitchell
and four other boys waylaid young
Bender on tho street after school, In
tending Jocosities ruther than violence,
but tho victim proved sensitive. "You
tuko your olo hnnds off o' me I" he
said fiercely, ns they began to push
him nbout among them.
"Olo dirty Wes 1" they hoarsely bel
lowed nnd squawked, In their chang
ing voices. "Washes his cars!" . . .
"Washes his neck I" . . . Dora Yocum
told his marun to turn the hoso on
him 1"
Wesley broke from Uiera and bached
away, swinging his stropped bornta in
n dangerous circle. "You keep offl"
ho warned them. "I got ns much
right tp my pcrs'nal appenrnrco ns
anybody I"
This richly fed their humor, nnd
they rioted round him, keeping outside
tho swinging books nt the end of the
strap. "Pers'nnl appearance' I" . . .
"Yowl Olo dirty Wes, he's got pcr
s'nal appearnncol" . . . "Who went
nnd bought It for you, Wes?" . . .
"Nobody bought It for him. Dorn
Yocum took nnd glvo him ono!"
"You leave ladles' names nlono!"
cried tho chivalrous Wesley. "You
ought to know better, on the public
street, you pups I"
" Just gimme one chance to
