Is a typi cal. red-blooded American boy living With his parents hi Union Hill, a email village near New York City, lie has completed three years in preparatory school. Vaca tion time arrives and. with his mother gone to visit relatives, he and his father debate as to how Neale shall spend his vacation. In France Marlse Allen. 11 years old. is living with her American parents In the home of Anna Ktchergnry. a French woman. Marlse’s father Is foreign agent lor an American business firm. Old , •leanne Amlgorena French peasant woman, is employed by the Allens as a servant. Marise is deeply interested In tho study of French and music. During vacation Neale bbcomes an omnivorous reailer and spends much time In his fa ther’s library. He rides a bicycle for recreation. One day he rides to Nutlej, a village some dlstunce away, and there runs across his old boyhood friend. Don Roberts, who is playing tennis with two girl friends. Polly and Natalie Underhill.; Although Neale has never played tennis, he accepts an invitation to Join in the game. Vacation over N«»Ie jetunis to Dudley pfeparatery school and finishes his lust year, lie and his fatli on Neale’s entering Columbia university the following autumn. But now for the college entrance ex ninitiations, the Apollyon winch from afar their professors at Hadley had pointed out to them, straddling over all their roads, belching out brimstone fire on all who tried to pass. With much trepidation hidden under his usual decent impassivity, Neale jour neyed up to take his first examina tions at Columbia. He was glad that tlie first chanced to be in history. That was one of Ids good subjects. He stood a better chance there. With a careful ait' of carelessness, lie went up to the proctor’s desk, took one off tlie idle of the printed examination sheets, and with it in his hand, not entirely steady, he went back to his seat. Safe from observation there, he laid it before him and his eyes leaping * to know the worst, took in the first three questions at one glance. Holy Smoke! Was this all? Was it for this he had sweat blood! There "as an outline map of the United States, with a request to mark on it the location of such idiotically well known places as Acadia, Pittsburgh. New Orleans. * There was "French and Indian wars. State causes immediate and remote." There was. "What do you consider to he the relation between the Missouri compromise and the Civil War? Justify your opinion in 500 words." Neale leaned hack in his chair faint with relief. Why, he could eat It up like candy. And he ate it up like candy; emerging from it, hlH head in the air and the world at his feet. This aspect caused him to be chasten ed by a gang of Sophomores who played hare and hounds with him (lie was the hare), through Riverside park from 120th to Slat street, where his long legs finally distanced them. He came away from the last ex amination, as stale and worthless as an overworked colt. The Sophomores let him alone. He looked to them as though he rfad not been able to pass. A wide, green pasture with running brooks la the best place for a tired colt, and It was such a one that Neale now entered, his head hanging, his big legs ilk# cotton twine. Oh. shucks! What was the use of anything? Grandfather and grandmother kept a Crittenden shut mouth about his drawn face and sallow skin, and at first were careful to keep out of the way and let him even more alone than usual. He fell into bed at 8 o'clock, unahie to keep his eyes open another moment, and lay as though he were > dead for 20 or 40 minutes every bight, awaking to see the country sun shin ing in on the slant, hewed beams over his head, and to hear the country sounds, as clear as crystal coming in through the open window; the mill brook. chanting, the wind in the big maple, the bright, brazen call of the rooster, the sociable grunting of the pigs. One morning when he woke up. whil* he still lny In hed staring up pt the beams over his head, some chance association of Ideas made him think of Hadley and he was astonished to And his resentment against Hadley had gone. Hadley seemed very remote and vague to him. He did not hate It any more. He could scarcely re member what Hadley had been like. Nor anything that he hnd studied there. That day for the first time he went , down to the mill, walking, not sauntering, his legs solid under him ■ gain. He found grandfather and old Si “making out'' very badly, with no l*oy,to "take away.” The last one had followed all his predecessors Into the cotton spinning mills at North Adams, and as this was haying time 'no other help was to be had. The two old men had to stop tha saw every few minutes till Si could run around and catch up on taking away. It was fretful work, like trying to lace up your shoes with one hand. Neale stood and watched them for a while. Then although he had not really meant to say it. he was not sorry to hear his voice suggesting. “Why don't you take me on? I haven't got anything else to do” "What say. Si?” asked grandfather, laughing so at the Idea, that Neale ^ was nettled and had a picture of ^ how unutterably lazy he had looked for the last fortnight! Si spit tobocco juice into the mill rare and shifted his quid. "Wa’U, I know hands is scurse these days, but land! have we got down to taking anybody?" Neale was used to the Yankee roughness which, they meant for humor, but this touched him a little closely. Didn't they think he could do any work? Grandfather puckered his old face Into a grin and nodded him into the job. "If so be so, then so be it. Kin or no kin, I guess we can afford to pay him what we were giving Hubbard." So Neale bought a suit of overalls at the general store and began to work. Kor the first three days he wished with all his heart he'd kept his mouth shut. Handling green beech for 10 hours a day was very different from helping out a half hour at a time. Besides, his muscles and above all his hands were piti fully soft after an Indoor winter and his fortnight of vegetating. It didn't seem worth while to make an ox of himself for 5 cents an hour and hoard—the wage of unskilled labor in that nonuniontzed Arcadia— hut he was ashamed to quit on a Job that was always handled by boys of his age. Nobody had asked him to do it. He had offered himself, pushed himself in. It would tie too worthless to back out. But. oh gee! he was tired when he got through at 6 o'clock, and dumped heavily up the hill after grandfather and SI. walk ing. it seemed to him. wjth as stiff and aged a gait as theirs. He shov elled supper up, starved, starved to his toes, and staggered to bed im mediately afterward. The first week he lost five pounds. Thereafter he gained steadily, and all solid m us ole. After a time he mastered the mill hand's basic axiom, "Never lift a plank If you can slide it,” his hands stopped blistering and hardened, and he grew muscles In various places up and down his back, where he had never had any before, so that the boards became singularly lighter In his hands. And then. Just when he had mastered his Job, the water god took a hand in the game. Since the Spring rains, there had been nothing but the gentlest showers. The mill pond had shrunk to a pool, and grass be gan to show far down l}s dried up sides. The water no longer van over the mill dam. One day about 5 o'clock the mill stopped, with a log half sawed. • "No water," said Silas, "got to shut down till the pond fills up." They sat down instantly, hanging their empty hands over their knees, in an ecstasy of idleness. They man aged to finish that log by supper time, buf the drought held. Soon they could saw only by pond fuls. A couple of hours in the early morning, a scant hour after lunch, and somewhat less after supper, in the twilight. Between tlipes Si patched belts, or hned corn, or sat and smoked, grandfather pottered around the garden, or sat and smoked as he waited for the pond to fill. This was delightful—just enough work for exercise, and lots of blame less leisure. But with so many hours to read, Neale ran through at an alarming rate the books ho had brought with him. Even "Vanity Fair" didn't hold out forever, and with Dobbin and Amelia finally united. Neale was at the end of his literary resources. Boredom settled down heavily. Si's reiterated anec dotes lost all savor; he had read all the books on the sitting room book shelves, or haVI given them up as "hopeless. He felt bound by his con tract to be on hand whenever the mill could be run. bo tnat long wants were out of the question. Anybody but a Crittenden, dealing with Crittendens, would have gone to grandfather or grandmother and asked where that book case was. But It did not occur to Neale to do that, and If he had thought of the possi bility, he would never have done it. That would have meant talk about his wanting to read, about what books he liked, and why be liked them ... all sorts of talk front which Neale shrank awav as he did from tlhyslcal pawing over. He set off silently, with a casual air. upon his search, looking first into the darkened best room, and going from that to the garret, the attic over the ell, and th# woodshed loft. There were scattered books In all these places: in the best room a few hlg. illustrated, showoff books, with gold on the bindings, like the Dore Bible he had so often looked at. and the big Pilgrim's Progress that he had opened only once. Neale went down the attic stairs and began to ripen doors. Nothing doing. Everywhere the same sparse ly furnished room, with painted floor, braided mat, dark old bed and battered dresser, arid ladder-back, flag-bottomed chairs. Their vacancy struck cold even on Neale's not very Impressionable mind. "A room that hadn't been lived In for a long time was the limit, anyhow," he thought.

Omaha'* newest acquisition in edu cational institutions Is the sfchool of Individual instruction. This school boasts, and boasts rightly, that it is the original school, which specializes in individual attention, and its phe nomenal growth Indicates the place it has earned among the many par ents who have registered their chil dren during the past year. Mrs. C. F. Pratt, the owner, started the school in a small building on North Fortieth street about two years ago. 'yhe response to the methods used Was almost instantaneous and during the past year 129 boys and girls were registered at her school. Teaeh Them How to Study. "It is all very natural," said Mrs. Pratt. "We simply teach children how to study. We are able to ac complish this because our classes are small, we maintain short hours and Insist upon Intensive work un der proper supervision. Soon the re ceptive mind of the young child falls into certain habits, these in turn take a more definite form until study hour for the child becomes as nat ural and welcome as his recreation period. "t did not loam this In a day.’ said Mrs. Pratt, "and It was not un til I saw the pitiful failures which resulted from the unsystematized methods used In secondary schools that I even gave the subject of study any serious thought. "I found that some pupils were more rapid than others, and that the backward ones suffered extreme hu miliation when placed In classes with their more, brilliant fellow stu dents. This could be partially cor rected by grouping pupils of like ability in the same classes. "Then came the problem of cor recting Inattention, indolence and willful- disobedience.
