'went iight`out again," "What's he up. to? some hee in his ' bonnet,- I guess!" ••' The lamps were. scarcely lighted e► when Jack. Was back again. This time he found the object of his search absorbed in a book. 'What have you been doing with yourself all day?' in an injured tone. "Studying;" answered Tom, not of- -`' • tering to stop in his present employ- , §ment "And what are you doing now?" "Studying," answered Tom, again with stronger emphasis than before. "Anil what do you mean to do for tle`next hour?" "Study, if I get the chance," with elbows still on the table and a frank lookup into Jack's eyes. "That's just what you'll not get," replied the other, making a dive for UM'S book and flinging it. up on the top'of the book -shelf. "There, now .tato me, He threw himself down on; a carpet sofa just beneath the win- dow, which brought his head within a; few inches of his friends elbow.

I3e's been;trying his best to learn to smoke lately, so the boys say. We thought we wouldjust give him enough of it. Charlie ercival slipped out and got a lot of cigars, real good ones—he couldn't say we sickened him 'with poor stuff—and gave them round, of course Bert smoked with the rest. i Somebody complained it was cold, so re "shut up both the door,and window, ,and the little box of a place soon got that full of smoke you could have cut it_wjth a knife. Bert wanted to have J ie door opened, but I had an awful cold and couldn't stand the draught. We each took a second one, and of course Bert must take it too.

It's your turn now. What were you doing?" "You didn't tell me how the game went this afternoon." fr "Now see here, Tom Sutherland, no A '`, more fooling, what were you doing all • clay?" "Do you know, sir," answered Tom deliberately thursting his hands into his pockets and leaning back in his chair. "I have a will of my own, and •„ 5 it is my purpose to tell you nothing at all about what I was doing to -day -un- 1 'til next Saturday afternoon, when," he added, smiling at his Own audacity, "I may want your help, and shall be a willing in exchange to tell you my k secret." t "You don't expect I'll help you then?"

Jack's curiosity overcame his "can tankerousness" when Saturday after noon came. He resigned himself tneek ly to the guidance of his friend, who led him through a side door into the Echo Printing office. Great was his interest and amusement at Tom's plan and the present advanced state of his preparations. But interest overcame amusement in the end, and he lent mind and muscle with a hearty good will to the careful striking off of the 500 leaves and the 50 covers. Tom had already learned the book binder's knot by means of which to fasten the leaves together. That ev- ening the boys carried the whole edi- tion into their author's room, stitched the leaves together and pasted on the covers. Then with a sharp jack knife and a straight hoard they pared off the edges even, and the books were done. Tom surveyed -,the two tidy piles with a good deal of quite interest in his expressive face. Jack tipped back his chair and re- garded Tom. "What next?" he said, with a look that said. "I know without you telling me." Tom picked up one of the little books and shied it along the table towards him. "Sign that," he said, "and I'11'sign this, and then we're ready for action." Jack was now thoroughly in the spirit of the thing, and ready to join heart and hand in the enterprise. He put down his name with an extra flourish, and threw back the book to his friend. ' Glad indeed was Tom to see that name go down. Of all the schoolboys there was not one for whom he had felt more fear than for this merry, manly fellow who had begun to take a very' brother's place in his heart. Then, besides he knew that wnatever Jack did, he did with both hands. In him he had a leiutenant worthy of the cause. Resolution No. 4 was now to be car- ried into effect, the Temperance campaign begin immediately and prove a success," and it did. The two boys went at it Monday morning with a will. Tom had one name besides his own before he start- ed for school. Both had several be-' fore night. Had the pledge been for ife or for an indefinite period, success would have°been small, but "only for a year,"it would be an experiment, nd surely it was a small man couldn't eep off the stuff for that length of ime. They found less difficulty on the whole than they had expected— more difficulty with some. Charlie Percival kept carefully out of the way. r, if caught,' refused to enter the sub- ect at all. Tom, particularly, he eemed to dread. Jack had a genuine schoolboy fash- on of refusing to take impudence, and equiring outward respect at least, ven from those who would gladly ave met the new movement with neers. He never, pulled a long faee, or for- ot' his own maxim, "boys will be oys," But with' good humored per- enacity and mock arguments that eally had a good deal more of sense han nonsense in them, he would ome back and back upon his point till it was carried. He had several times tried George Livingstone, but had always, so far, been shaken off. Nothing daunted, he sallied up to him again, in the midst Of several boys who were standinground, mostly al- ready members oftheLeague. "See here, George," said Jack in'an uthoritative tone, presenting an open ledge -book, "you sign that. "No, I won't," just as decidedly, "What do you mean?" "I mean what I say; I won't do it." Jack changed his tone, "now tell me, George, why won't you do it?" "Because I don't want to.". "Now I'm going to ask. you some civil questions, and I want straight answers. Will signing this little bit of paper do you any harm?" y o ..e#lrst liaport,ofthe c + sell ng a largest 'of the pyramids Was or - 6 telegram, to i There was . i inall 481 B hint, a no re y feet high and 853 on the e grecs over the quarter when, he read: sides, the base covering eleven acres.

As we were y corning into town he said he would • sign, I plastered the pledge book on t the wall; ur.der the light, and he sign- ed it then and there. Wasn't I glad, I couldn't keep it Tom. The old opera- tor wanted to leave off the Three Cheers, but I wouldn't let him. I'd paid fur them and • they'd got to go," But Jack couldn't tell what happen- ed that night in Charlie's room when his mother came in to give her pre- cious boy a New. Years good night kiss, how he put his two arms round her neck as he had not done for weeks —as he bad never done before—and told her the whole story, ending 'with "Now, little mother, you know all about it, but remember, you needn't be afraid any more on that score, I've signed the pledge for a year, but I mean it for always. I'll never, never touch that horrid stuff again." And so the work went on. The Jan- uary list contail,nd 13 names from a distant High School and 10 more from another, besides 24 from their own school, stilrall boys. Before the next month the girls had begun to work and the names came in faster, several other schools yielding members to the new league. Before the summer came the names were counted by hundreds, largely, though not wholly, from the High Schools. "Overdrawn," I fancy I hear again from our cautious critic." You don't catch High School boys flock into a Temperance League like that." Here I speak firmly this part of my story is not overdrawn, Young people are not . swept by hundreds and thousands into the Temperance army, just because Temperance work is not attempted with right implements. Try to gather apples with a reaping -machine or har- vest potatoes with a scyth, and you will 'trot wonder at the smallest of your success. Put the work in such a shape that schoolboys and schoolgirls can be themselves the workers. They win their, fellows where even a J. B. Gough wuld simply stira temptest of enthusiasm to rise and then calm down again. They will turn outsiders into members and members into co- workers, and transmit enthusiasm through post office and telegram, while older people are drawing the long breath that precedes the first despon- dent effort. Why don't Temperance people win the High School?" Let us win them and we command the situ- ation. Prohibition must follow and that quickly. TO 13E CONTINUED.. turn up again until far into the even- ing, and then lessons took possession of him, leaving Jack nowhere. Mr Harper, the editor of the Echo, took a lively interest in Tom and his plans. He found him a willing, clear- headed, quick -handed helper, who knew how to, leave things as he found them. In retii`!sn for assistance render- ed on his busy days he gave what help the boy needed in setting up the type for his pledge -book, both leaf and cov- ers. By the next afternoon Tom was ready to strike off the impression on the foot -press used for small job work. Mr Harper~ had proposed two changes ifs"the original plan, which, after care- ful consideration, were both made. The High School Temperance League was the name taken, instead of the .schoolboys. The older man wisely 'remarking "I wouldn't shut the girls out. If they don't need it as much, ou'll find that they will work for it just as well as the boys—maybe iter." The otherchange also affected the pledge -leaf, "Let me publish your lists of names," he said, "with a little flour- ish of 'trumpets before them. If you want to draw public attention get into the papers,' It cost Tem some anxious thoughts before he could deckle on this point, sonde Might be deterred :from signing by the bare:' idea, of the publishing of the nalrfes, but the more he thought it over, the More he leaned toward Ile- i Cepting Mr Harper's kind offer.

Slowly and deliberately, "would it cost you much trouble?" Si 0.9 "Will you do it?" "No, I won't." "Well, George," still deliberately, "I hope you'll excuse me, but I must say you're a fool." George colored at this and faced angrily round. "Now sed here, jack Cleveland, you st take that back." "My dear friend, how can I take it ack? I appeal to the boys.
