The principal of the school asks the boy who had Men guilty of this breach of discipline and maybe ej morals te rise and confess.

Four days they had kept htm In his study, without sajlng what they meant te de with him. Then this morning,, while the boys were at 'prayers they f had heard ar riage wheels come -up te the deer of the yrincipal'A.heuM, and'..whenZthey came Mt of chapel the study was empty and Stewtll was gene. "And then," said the;'Speaker (with t certain pomp of. cert tempt new), "without mere-ado !yeuvrn'n, away?" '"Yes, sir," answered the boy, "by the lavatory window, when we were breaking, up after breakfast." "Where did you get the money te travel with?" . "I had no meney: sir. I walked." "Walked from Castletown? What kare you eaten since breakfast?" "Only "what. I get on'tie'rea.d,.sfr."' "Teu mean." begged?" '"I asked at a farm by Foxdale for glasa of milk and' the farmer's wife fare me some bread as well, sir." "Did she knew who you were?" .

"And perhaps feeling yourself such a fine fellow, whaj you were doing there. and why yen wre running, awny from choel?" "Yes sir." "Yeu foeil Yeu infernal feel!" The Speaker had talked himself out f breath and for a moment his wife in tervened: "Alick," she said, ''if it was teu, as ta say, who walked, out with the girl, wke was ahe?'- "She was a' servant girl, gMther." "But who?" "Tutl" said the Speaker, "what does It matter who? Yeu say you con fessed te the principal?" "Yes, sir." "Then if he chose te disregard your cafesslon.'nnd.te act en his own judg ment what did it matter te you?" "It is wrong te expel Stewcll for what I had done and 'I couldn't stand H," said the .boy. "Yeu couldn't stand it! Yeu dunce! whip te you The Speaker was feeling the super iority of. his 'son's position, but that only made him the mere furious. "I suppose you knew what this run ning away will mean when people come te hear of It?" Alick made no answer. "You've given the story a fine start, it .seems, and it won't take long te travel." Still Alick made .no answer.' "Stewcll will be the martyr, and you'll be the culprit, and.that'ugly in cident of the boy with'the broken skull will wear another complexion." "I don't care about that," cried Alick. "Yeu don't care!" "I had te de my duty te my chum, sh1." "And what about your duty te mc, and te. your mother and te your sis ters? Was it your 'duty' te bring dis grace en all of us?" Alick dropped Ills head. "Yeu shan't .de. that, though. If I can help it. . Ge away and wash your dirty face and get something en your stomach. You're going back te Castle town in the morning." "I won't go back te school, sir," said Alick. "Won't you, though? We'll see about that. I'll take you back." "Then I'll 'run away again. sir." "Where te, you jackass? Net te this house. I premice you." "I'll get a ship and go te fea. sir." "Then get a snip and go te sea. and , te hell, tee, jf you want te. leu feel! 'Yeu damned blockhead!" After the Speaker had swept the boy from the room his mother was crying. "Only eighteen years for harvest," she wbh saying, as if trying te excuse him. And then, as if seeking te fix the blame elsewhere, she added: "Who was the girl, I wonder?" "Ged's sake, woman," cried the Speaker, "what decn it matter who she was? Seme Castletown huzzy, I sup pose." The peacocks were screaming again ; they had been screaming for some time, nnd the front-deer bell had been ring ing, but in the hubbub nobody had heard them. Hut new the parlermaid came te tell the speaker that Mr. Daniel Cnl- j lister, of Baldremma. was in the perch and asking te see him. Dan came into the room with his roll- 'What's this she says that you've rin away?" said the" Speaker ing walk, his eyes wild and dark, his billyceck hat In his hand and his black hair "stroked" fiat across his forehead, where a wut brush had left it. "Geed evening, Mr. Spaker! Yeu tee, MiBtreBS Gell! It's the twelfth tomor row, but I thought I would bring my Hellantide rent today." "Sit down." said the Speaker, who had given him meager welcome. Dan drew a chair up te a table, took from the breast pocket of bis monkey menkey jncket n bulging parcel In n red print' handkerchief (looking like a roadman's dinner), untied the knots of it, find dis closed a quantity of geld and sliver coins, and a number of Manx bank notes creased nnd soiled. These he counted out with much deliberation amid a si lence like that which comes between thunderclaps the Speaker, standing by the fireplace, coughing te compete him self, his wife blowing her nose tp get rid of her tears, and no ether sounds being audible except the nasal breathing of Dan Baldremma, who had hair about his nostrils. "Count it for yourself; I bclnve you'll find it right, sir." "Quite right. I suppose you'll want a receipt?" "If you plaze." The speaker sat at a small desk, and, ns well as he could (for his hand was trembling), he wrote the receipt and handed it across the table; "And new nbeUt my lease." said Dan. "What about it?" said the Speaker. "It runs out a year today, sir, and Willie Kcrruleh, the advocate, was tell ing me at the Michaelmas mart you were net for renewing it. De you still heutd te that, Mr. Spaker?" "Certainly I de," said the Speaker. "I don't want te enter into discussions, but I think you'll be the better for an other landlord and I for another ten ant." There wns another moment of silence,, broken only by Dan's nasal breathing, and then he until : "Mr. Spaker. the Dempster's son has" come home in disgrace, they're saying. "What's that get te de with-it?" said the Speaker. "My daughter has come home in dis grace, .tee my wife's daughter, I mane." Mrs. Gell raised herself' in her easv chair. "Was It your girl, then " she began. "It was, ma'am.- Bessie Corteen Celllster, they're calling her." "What's all this te me?" said the Speaker. "She's telling me lt'a a mistake about the Dempster's son, sir. It was some body else's lad did the' mischief." "I sec you nre well informed." said the Speaker. "Wei!, what of It?" "Caesar Qualtreugh might have prosecuted, but he didn't, out of respect ter i ue uempster. said unn. "Se they fay." ald the Speaker. "But if somebody gave him n scute into the truth he mightn't be se lenient with another man one ether nnyway." The Speaker was silent. view, were rating him roundly en as sociating with a servant. .

HI see what you mean te de. Mr. Celllster." said the Snenker. "but you can' save yourself the trouble. My lad is in this house new if you want te knew, but I'm Bending him te sea, and before you can ret te Castletown he will have left the island." "And what will) the island say te thai, sir?" said Dan. "That Archibald Gell, Spaker ..of the Kays, chairman of everything, nnd the biggest man go ing, barring the Demnster. has 'bad te send his son nway te save him from the lock-up." The Speaker took two threatening strides forward, and Dan rose te his feet" There was silence again ns the two men steed face te face, but this time it wns brekeutBy the 'Speaker's breathing also. Then he. turned aside and said, with n shnmeful leek : "I'llrhear what Kerrulsh has te say I have te see him in the morning." "L lave it -with you, sir; I lave It with, you," said Dan. "Geed-day, Mr. Celllster." . "Goedtdav te, you, Mr. Spaker! And yen, tee. Mistress Gell!" said Dan. But having reached the deer of the room he stepped and added : "There's one thing mere, though. If 'my girl- is te live With me she must work for her meat, and there must be no ntere soereying." "That will be nil right I knew my son," said the Speaker. "And I knew my stepdaughter," said Dan.
