Feeling was strong at the Norwood Mill-t.-ry Aeadeuiy agati.st Henry Haswell ami Lis rooiuiu.ite, lute:iy Neuuiaiiu. The two bi.ys were new cadets, but they had both e::trred the third eiass instead of the lowest, or fourth, grnde. Tills, however, was not the cause of their unpopularity. Henry had "to'.d on" one of the most popular second-classmen, a cadet sergeant. -iii:o had attempted to play a trick ou I'rtohy, wheii.iy the latter, it was in tended, should bo made to suffer for the ! iirV night ilisturbauee of which he was ln- M-oent. Fortunately, despite the semi darkness of the corridor, Henry bad ree-opniz.-d the delinquent as he thrust the kettledrum and sticks into Dutchy"s baud, ai-d on the trei:j;th of the testimony the elder boy had been convicted aud reduced to tho ranks. Consequently, wrien It was Ieflrned that Henry liad organized a tus-of war team to eompi te for the state championship at toe coi nty fair, which was to be held ia Lansing two week-; Inter, his enemies landed ti.gfther for his discomfiture. Prac tice, it was lenrio'.i, was indulged in -daiiy ir to ia the ai'iern..!i, afLer the dniil hour, be'ilni thi 4y:nnas.uai and diilj-hail. No intimation was g;ven to Henry and the three other mcuibcrs of his team that their !' ns bad been tih-:-aven-d. and on the rfternoon in question tioy were allowed to get well settled to the hopeless task of l-Kiliiug dowu a stout walnut tree beiore tiiv .1 t l.iiu.v J ipp...I'td Lpoil Lbe SCCoC. luuuuiu oj luC uOit cjij oi euacLS ue lic i. iV vviio ttut; oa uUiy uJ iuii ui Liie u.cik-c.aoiiiv u, uoi.s.u.i CU il lUUuliVSk.wt.oli Oi li.lo U.ilJl'l', i ne liieLuoos oi. ikl,; y and his team welt pi nil. i. e. i..e oi ifultaV, Vi.ose b.

"Why", hello! Whnt's this?" a big fourth classraan who had been left over from the previous year cried in assumed surprise. Eroto-O CxxjSz2 mKiuas. "Ion"t you know that It's agaiust regu lations to pull down trees?" The only reply to this was a laugh from the nrndred or more onlookers who had crowded around. the fonrtngzing boys. "Go on: don't nay any attention to them." said Henry to his rrmninions. "Henve!" "Hr?ve!" pp'ord the forrth-clsesman. rpof);rie?r. nrd. rl7.'n? n m.nl! boy who rbinced to be rep1-.

A srd.leu silent e had fallen on t;io crowd: srmething was about to happen, every one felt. "XtiW. Andrews, you're coins to rive m? D rl WfVW M I I mm an account for what you have Just done, said Henry, stepping up to the big boy, who was haif a head taiier than h.mseif "What did you meau by pushing that boy into me?" "What did I mean?" repeated Andiews. with a swagger. "Why, I meant to give him a soft thing to fall on." v This called forth an approving guffaw fvcin the crowd. "Well, then, you've got to fight me for It." said Heuiy. quietly, "right here and now." The b.g boy stared at him in speechless astoniilimeut. "Do you mean that?" he asked, at length. "I most certainly do." Without further parley Andrews pulled off ! his coat and threw It to an eager small boy. and he then stepped Into the ring which had already been formed. Henry was waiting for him. and a moment later the light wouid have been on had iioi tiie unexpected appear ance oi I.ieuietiaui i..eagati, tU- LuiU-d States Army detail, put a sudden and tragic eud to the affair.

Bejpeath his gaze even the bo'.iiest trembled. I I I I f ' I while bis Infrequent praise maae tue re cipient thrill with pride. Consequently, when Lieutenant Deagau now stepped for ward a frightened husli fell on the crowd and the two pvincfpa! let their hand, fall to their sides and stood gaz'.cg nt him help lessly. "Po yon're figM'ne nenfn. Andrews, are vou?,, said the oCieer. fixing his piercing eyes on the larger boy. "Go to your Quar ters and remain there under arrest until I relieve you." - "L'eutenant, I didn't start it began Andrews. "Silence! I Mtv you pub that boy Into Haswell. You're a bully. Now. march!" "Without another word Andrews took his coat from the frlgMcmd beater, turned and started toward quarters. "Well, what are you waiting for to be repotted?" sr-ddenly thundered tenant Deagan. turning on the silent crowd. "Go to your quarters!" No one ventured to reply, and silently the boys turned and obeyed. In the meantime Hiury had untied the rope from around the tree, and having drawn ou his coat, he started to leave the spot with the other members of the team. "Here, Ilaswell," said Lieutenant Deagnn. "you men wait a moment, I want to see yon." "Yes. sir." said Henry, coming to a Ftand stiil and facing about to receive the expected reprimand. 1 i I i li a . . HI 1 s I i 1 o '& 'Pi 'M k 4.
