THE NOSTALGIA

teachers
The truant school was all right and
Custer was the swuff' But what had
made him ever (ome to the public
| school, and promise to be good! He
| was sick of it all—counting with Lt-
tle sticks, and puuching holes in card-
board. and marching round, and he
scoffed at the little baby tent in the
corner, where a make-believe Indian
kid came out with a little bow and
shot wooden pegs at a bear-kid In
the corner, who pretended to fall
up and walked
away, while other kids stood round
and flopped their, arms and pretended
to be birds and things! He'd like to
shoot rea! lndians and real bears’
When the fellows at the truant got
their work done they could make
things at the bench In the corner, and
at poon, too, you could work and ook
at pictures and Jdo any:hing, except do
nothing You had to work al the
time He had made a treasure box
all alone, and had hid it in the robber
cave, in the top of Tony Somalski’'s
barn When he was o'd enough, be
was going to make chairs and hose-
carts and houses and aun‘omoblles
They didn't have any shower baths,
either, here, nor & big piace 0 wash
your face Im, with real! yellow soap
Gee' he'd just like to taste that soap,
or smell it, and he wouldn't care if
it did get into his eyes'
it was great fun marching out at
the truant The leager had lo meas
ure the step and keep good time, and
all the others bad to go just =o,
and when you got to the first door,
you stopped til Custer sald yy
and you dassen’t look sideways, DOT
around, nor kick the fellow behind
you, ‘cause Custer had his eye glued
on you Then you went downstairs
to the outside door, and halted till
you heard “go again, and then to
the gate, and then “‘go” again, and
they you broke ranks It was great!
Just like soldiers!
Bill had been ierader before he had
been “promoted,” snd be had the most
stars after his name in reading, spell-
ing, ‘rithmetic and “wash-your-face"
He could make dandy maps without
a ruler. Custer !et you have colored
lead pencils to put in the countries
with, and you had to put all the pen-
¢ils back In the box before you could
go home He'd got to get back to the
truant school! But how? Break into
a store? Two of the fellows did, and
they were in reform school. Truant
was good epough for Bhim Custer
couldn't take nim back while he was
good—well, he'd have to cut, and let
Kelly, the truant officer, find him. Bat
he had promised—
They dassen’'t lick you, either, in the
public school, at the truant, some one
got 3 licking every day. The cat-o'-
pine-talls was best, because you al-
ways got that on the oand, but the
strap kept a feliow guessing You
were sure to hop oo the wrong foot,
anyway.
I'his teacher here called him “Boles-
laus, dear’'—that has his real name—
and the kid in front of him always
snickered He'd punch that fellows
face yet It was white, clear round,
even on the back of his neck, and he
wore a white starched collar every
day If he only could thrash that kid!
But what was the use? Nooe of these
kids knew how to fight. They dassen’t
fight’ Bill growled
Why. one night after school he had
licked four of the truant feliows to a
ficish io 156 minutes, while all the
others stood guara and “called time.
Bah' To be In a school where fellows
Aassen’t fight! The shame of it!
There was the Lust bell ringing! The
scow! grew deeper. the steps slower,
Bill glanced up a: the windows of the
school, with their fine frilled curtains
and bright greea plants What busi-
pess had those fellows up there to be
watching him? He clinched his fist
If he could only wallop them all!
And there was that white-necked,
starch-collared guy who sat in front
of him! How he'd ike to roll him ia
the mud and step on him!
Ihe Dell suddenly cessed With a
quick gasp and a wild jook around,
the iittle unkempt Agure shot down the
side street running like mad, panting,
choking, plunging on and on always
{in a sure course straight to the old
familiar haunts, where Kelly would
