Kvery boy who heard the ery dropped his bat and ball, and ran as fast as his legs could earry him to join the crowd, wuieh was quickly colleot- ing in one corner of the playground. “3 fight! A fight!” I'he master heard the cory too, and went out to see what was the matter, By the hme he reached tue crowd nearly every boy in the school had joined it, and all were so busy watch- ing that at first no one noticed the mas- ter. All eves were fixed upon fonr red- faced, h £ and breathless bovs, who were hard at work with their fists The master watched them for ome moment, then he made his way into the cirele, “Boys,” he said, “what is the qnar- rel sbont? "Three boys attacking one a new boy—what does it mean?” bere was silence, and then one of the boys said very quietly— ‘Please, sir, it wasn’t a quarrel all, sir” “Aud it was said another; “he said enongh to fight three of we thonghi we would let him try.” he could not bLelp smil- ing. as boy's fanlt™ he wus = 18 al ounce, BO the new rong masier Is lex Armstrong?” he said, “f winte not air. ud, and The : €viae: o show them that I was that I eonlk i . locked ha i had i i ¢ him; gelling very much the ni A at k,” suid the d ave been belts one al titae, not three at The boys beg h, the tune w broke Re x was | He wus and disappointed angry bed bad been langhe anid disappo nted because the fight had been stopped, amd be had been pre- vented showing the boys Low strong he was He wanted ono and to lnug 1a » erowd uj, and T ase he i at, 1 muke them admire him, snd he knew they admired strepg' Li. He warted to be popular. But he had begun the wrong way. T boys only thought him boastful, not strong, and thev laughed at him, aud eallea him old “One at time.” For some time after the fight Bex found that it was no use trying to gain favor in the playgroand, He made up his mind to work hard at his lessons, and see if he conid get the Loys to admire his cleverness, The master was pleased, and praised bim, Indeed be day in school that he wished all the bovs would work gs Lard as Bex Armstror i that af the others did mind, Bex would get ul : 1 hh =! pop them to sail Ooh r ft &, an not him still more 1 it us mn ih the th : bove, for as of him. “Do il the prizes, boy,” said one of ‘ time, you know: name.” Hex began to think he would never get the voys to like him, much les «ver be popular among them. As the boys took so little notice of him he gave up spendiog his play-time with them. Not far from the school was an old farm-house standing in a large garden. The place reminded him of his home, for he was a country boy, very often went there, and won made friends with the farmer One afternoon be went up to the farm as usual. The farmer was ont; so Bex lsy down on the grass, behind a big ben, and mode himself comfort- able, He bad not been there long befére he heard voices, ard peeping from his hiding-place saw that two of the sehool- boys were standing im the garden staring at the bees. “Honey would do,” said the first)” “you know we were each to get some- thing for the party.” Bex pricked up his ears. Bo they were going to have a party among themselves, and he was not invited “Honey would do capitally,” on the first boy; ‘‘perhaps the farmer wonid sell some.” “Only we have not any money,” said the second. “Apples would be better,” said the first Dr again, “I'he farmer is out; let us help our- selves, and pay him next time we get our pocket money.” Then there was a long talk which Rex Armstrong could not hear. He lay still, thinking what he should do. Onght he to stop the boys? But while he was thinking the boys were acting, and when he peeped again they were both up the tree, putting apples into their pockets as quickly as they conld. . Hex jumped np. “Hallo, yon boys!” he said; “you know you ought not to do that.” The boys looked down “Well, I never!” suid the bigger of the two, “if it fsu't old ‘One at a time.’ " Bat the smaller boy was frightened, and had begun to come down, He was pearly on the ground when his foot slipped, and he fell-uot on to the od Ri #8 your you g y ye In one $4500 vadf remember one of the bee hives, Over went the hive, sud out flew the bees, buzzing sugrily round the boy, He was very frightened, and com- menced to scream and wave his badds about, eH “Keep still, keep stilll” cried rupning up to his schoolfeilow; “you be stung if you don't keep " tree quickly, for he saw the farmer coming. Rex and the farmer together man- aged to get the bees back into the hive, and away from the boy. “Now, young gentlemen,” said the farmer, ‘‘this is a nice to-do. Who is to pay for my spoilt hive?” The two boys did not speak, but Rex came to the rescue. ¢“Itien’t quite spoilt, farmer,” he said. “111 help von get it right.” The farmer looked less angry, and would probally have forgiven the boys there and then, for he thought the bees bad punished them enough; but at that moment he caught sight of the apples which they had picked sticking out of their pockets, “What are those he asked sternly.

HOME MAKERS, EATHARRINE DD. JOHNSON, that “half a century ngo the boy was, by his parents, considered nag ness or protessional life was fore-or- dained to become a farmer.” A sad misconception, surely, of the diversi- fled knowledge, keen discernment and of a successful farmer. But in this ro-called “Womans’ Cen- tury” where the advisability of higher education and of fitting our daughters to earn a livelihood is no longer ques- tioned, when the doors of many col- and professional life are open to them, are we not in danger ot a like error of judgment as the parents whose ods we so glibly condemn? in danger, for have we not already ereated a poablie sentiment which de- clares that the girl who is not gifted enough to be hiberally educate! and trioated to win success 1a public life is thereby better fitted to becomea home- maker:and that she who is thas eda- ed and disciplined buries her talents chosing this voeation?
