how he was started, and I leave your-
selves to imagine the detials of that
race up hill. Do I hear a criticism
from some one else? "Over -drawn!
No ordinary boy, let alone a dunce,
could measure the ground at that
rate."
ButtinTom's case there aretwo things
to be remembered: 1st, Tom is not just
an ordinary boy, and I do believe there
are dunces here and there, both boys
and girls, something like him, who
have the power and do not know it.
2nd, Tom had the magnificent advan-
tage of being fairly mounted on a
hobby. When one great idea of any
sort takes possession of a soul, it will
make a giant out of a dwarf, and a
royal hero out of an ordinary character.
It was a bright afternoon towards
the end of October. It must have been
a beautiful day all over the Dominion,
for no weather probabilities would
think of announcing "local showers,"
in connexion with such an atmosphere
as the boys were breathing on the play-
ground of Carrborough High School.
They were now in the closing struggle
of a game of football. It had been a
well contested game, and stood now
2 to 2, so each side was determined[ if
possible, to change the score in its own
favor, during the ten minutes that
remained.
The regular school team were playing
the rest of the boys, and were finding
themselves more nearly matched than
they had expected. Some of the new-
comers, not hitherto recognized as
worthy a place on the team, were be-
ginning to show their metal in a way
that made the regulars look alive.
Two of these were specially active,
and played in fine combination. One
was a tall, well built fellow of sixteen,
of a very fair complexion, crisp, yellow
hair, r uddy cheeks, and light-colored
clothes. Do you recognize, in that
athlete High School boy, the little lad
who, five years aefore, tipped the
whiskey all out upon the road ? If you
once got a sight of his eyes you would
know him in a minute; and he is now
going after the foot ball exactly as, in
those days, he went at his spellings.
His companion, Jack Cleveland, though
a few months younger, is taller than
he by some inches, large of frame, and
exhibiting well-developed muscles. He
goes with a long, loping run, but such
energetic spring that the•spots where
his feet touch the ground are remark-
ably far apart.
Another on the school side, Charlie
Percival, though light in weight, and
small of stature, makes himself by his
nimbleness and accuracy, a trouble to
his foes, quite as much as a help to his
friends. He is a clever boy of seven-
teen, in his third year in school, and
well merits a place on the regular
team. But a chronic feud between
him and the captain has long made the
idea of such a promotion abhorrent to
both parties. •
The team captain, Gilbert Blair, is
man grown, with a strong, dark face.
It is only fair to Charlie to say, • that it
is not the worst side of his character
that has made him an offence in the
eyes of his school potentate.
A shout from the school side as a
long, swift shot from Jack Cleveland
sent the ball straight oh goal, but the
shout was too soon. The goal -keeper
sprang up, punched it out with both
hands, so that it fell almost in front of
the nearest back. He made a swift,
upward shot, so that the ball flew
over -head, away past the middle of
the field. Torn and the team captain
both marked the direction it had taken
the moment it left the toe of the kick-
er, and both tore swiftly down toward
the spot where it must light, the lat-
ter followed close by three of his own
side, Torn by Charlie Percival. Tom
reached it first. Blair, seeing such
would be the case, changed his [course
so as to intercept him in the run he
knew he meant to make. Charlie
took in his purpose and took his posi-
tion accordingly. Tom, beset by the
three who had followed Blair, could
not keep the ball, but passed it to _ now set his heart to find some plan to

"If they won't give him leave, get
some excuse to bring his father here.
His mother must never know this if
we can help it. And, Jack, this must
never happen again."
"This must never happen again,"
muttered Jack, "I wish I knew it
wouldn't."
Mrs Percival answered tie knock
herself. To Jack's request the lady
gave a gentle but firm refusal.
The boy paused. To urge might
awaken the very fears he wanted to
keep quiet, and would be, he felt, no
use. He became suddenly wonderfully
political.
"Were you out at the meeting to-
night ? Grand speech, wasn't it ?"
""I was not there, but am expecting
an account of it when Mr Percival
carnes home. Was Charlie with you
at the meeting?"
"He was not with us, but we met
him coming home."
"Please tell him r L would like him
'home at once. Good night."
Jack had got the imforrnation he
wanted. Mr Percival was out, and ex-
pected home in a few minutes. He
waited, but loner than he had ex-
pected. Two, three, five minutes
passed.
Would it do to go back and explain
to` Tom? Mr Percival could hardiy
elude him all the time it would take.
He made a start, but turned back
quick, as he heard the neighboring
door open, somebody wheeled himself
over the intervening fence, and run up
the outside steps to the door.
Jack was over the garden -gate in a
twinkling, and running up the path,
saying in a low distinct voice, "Mr
Percival, Mr Percival."
The gentleman stopped short.
Jack whispered"Charlie is in trouble.
We thought it best not to let his moth-
er know."
What were the feelings of the fath-
er, as he saw, by the peculiarly fitful
gleam of the electric light, the condi-
tion of his cherished boy. I need not
attempt to describe. He entered with
an ardor, deeper than the boys knew,
into -the conspiracy to keep the whole
matter from the knowledge of his wife
and was able, when he got home, to
act as if all was right, maintaining his
own right to give the boy leave to stay
with one of the finest lads in the school
if he had a mind to. -
Mrs Percival was a little puzzled at
his peremptousness, and naturally at-
tributed his being out of temper to the
character of the political speech which
had told strongly againist his party.
So the matter blew over, past, but,
not gone.
The effects of that night's doings
upon Charlie were bad, whop bad.
His self-respect,which had been high—
chivalrously high—too high to allow
him to do a mean or unkind thing, or
to stoop to the semblance of a false-
hood—his self-respect had received a
wound which refused to heal. Instead
of attaching himself more to those who
had befriended him in his trouble, as
Tom at first faintly hoped might be
the case; he unfeignedly avoided them.
The intensity of his fiery young nature
went out in the bitterest hatred of
Blair and his associates, to whom he
knew right well he owed his fall. His
father laid him now under restrictibns
to which he had never been subjected
before, and the evil spirit in him kicked
none the less because he knew his own
folly had made them necessary. Worst
of all, something had now come be-
tween him and his once idolized little
mother. He actually slunk away from
her presence, and, if it were possible at
a,11, avoided her good night kiss, with-
out which. in by -gone days, he felt as
if be couldn't go to sleep right.
The effects upon Tom were just as
potent as those upon Charlie, but told
in an entirely opposite 'direction. The
purpose expressed to Jack, "this must
never happen again," deepened and
developed as the days went by. As he
had aimed for the prize at the spelling
match; as he many a time had set his
heart u on a goal at foot ball, so he
to arrange just how to go about it."
And there he lay arranging, far into
the morning.
Tom's brain was a regular council
chamber that night, and the secretary
of the said council might have recorded
the resolutions made, discussed,, and
carried, in the following terms :—
Resolved, let, That this new associa-
tion shall be called The Schoolboys'
Temperance League for 1891.
Resolved, 2nd, That an edition of
fifty pledge books shall be ready for
December 1st, 1890, that is, in three
weeks.
Resolved, Srd, In order to that, that
Toni Sutherland present himself to-
morrow (Saturday) morning at the
Echo office, ' and so conduct himself
that he shall print, . or cause to be
printed, said pledge books, within
specified time.
Resolved 4th, that a Temperance
catnpaign shall then begin, immedi-
ately, and shall prove a success.
Resolved 5th, .that every one who
signs the pledge shall take a pledge -
book and become a worker for the
cause.
Resolved 6th, that by December 1st,
189I, another set of pledge -books shall
be ready, and that every member of
the League for 1891 shall also become rk
member of the same League for 1891
before the 1st of January of that year..
Having proposed, considered and
carried all the above resolutions, and
dealt with some others that were not
carried, the council broke' up and
Toni fell asleep.

And beautiful, yes, beautiful in death
She reached the eternal shore.

SHE PREFERS TROUSERS. •
Some years ago the French Govern-
ment fitted out a scientific expedition
for the purpose of making explorations
on the site of an ancient palace in;Per-
sia, built by a mighty warrior five cen-
turies before Christ. The "savant" to
whom was intrusted this expedition,
M. Diculafny, was accompanied by his
wife, herself very learned, and a well-
known contributor to archaeological
science. To facilitate her work the lady
assumed male attire, and spent several
years of hardship almost without com-
munication with the civilized world,
exposed to all kinds of privation, for
the intellectual enjoyment of exploring
this,famous palace. Since her return
to Paris the lady has refused to t esume
the inconvenient garb of feminine con-
ventionality, and with the full consent
of her husband and under special per-
mit from the police, she wears the re-
gular masculine dress in Paris on all
occrsions.
