RTHUR SIMPSON ‘had the reputa-
AT tion of being the worst boy in
town. At least this was the
manner in whiéh Officer Weems intro-
duced young Mr. Simpson to Judge
Blake, presiding over the juvenile court.
Mrs. Doray, wife of the town’s drug-
gist, looked at this nominee for top
honors with much interest. When the,
program committee of the Wemen’s
Club assigned her to orepare a paper on
the town’s juvenile court, she had sought
out Judge Blake. He invited her to sit
the sessions in order that she could
become directly acquainted with the
work of his court.
Her interest in the juvenile delinquents
increased with each case that was
brought up. By the time young Simpson
came up before Judge Blake she was
cognizant of the sympathetic manner in
which the court dealt with the young
offenders.
“We find that most juvenile delin-
quents come from broken homes,” ex-
plained the judge to Mrs. Doray as
he eyed the subject of the latest case,
young Mr. Simpson.
“You mean divorced people,” asked
Mrs. Doray.
“Yes, divorces, separations, or ‘many
times where one parent is dead and the
other has to make a living so that the
Now take this boy before me,” he said
nodding at Arthur and glancing at a
paper on his desk. “Here's (1 orphan
who lives with a poor family. He
hasn’t gotten into any trouble yet, but
he may be headed for it.
Arthur squirmed uneasily before Judge
Blake's gaze. “Well, Art,” began Blake,
“it looks as though you're in trouble.
Why were you arrested ?”
“He took a car belonging to Mrs.
Ramsey for 4 joy ride,” ventured
Weems.
“How about it, Arthur? Is that
right,” asked Blake.
*'No, sir.”
“But you ‘took the car, didn’t you,”
continued: Blake.
“No, sir,” repeated the boy. “I just
moved it from in front of a fire plug.”
“The car was found four blocks away,
Your Honor,” interrupted the officer.
“Seems ‘to me you moved that car
quite a distance,” said Blake.
“Well, it’s hard to find a place to
park these days,” explained Arthur.
Judge Blake and Mrs. Doray ex-
changed smiles. Turning to the boy,
Blake remarked, “Art, the law says it’s
a crime to drive a car that doesn’t |
belong to you. Did you know that?”
“No, sir,” replied the boy.
“Well, remember it the next time
you se¢ a car parked by a fire plug.
Now you get out of here and don’t
ever let me see you in this court again,
because if Ido, you'll be sorry. Case
dismissed. The court is adjourned for
one hour.”

As the order for adjournment was
given, the witnesses, court attaches and
spectators began moving about.
“Well, Mrs. Doray, what do you
think of it,” asked Judge Blake.
“I'm very, very much interested,” she
replied.
“There they go,” he continued

try to set their feet in the right road.”

The next day, young Mr. Simpson,
irejoicing at his recent emancipation from
legal entanglements, sat at the wheel
of a disreputable touring car as it
wended its way through that portion
of the city known as “Shantytown.”
~The car rattled and squeaked its way
down the street, finally coming to a
stop before a small, dirty shack. In the
yard was a freckled-faced bespectacled
youngster.
“Hi, Nutty,” was Art's greeting as
he clambered out of the car.
“Hi, Art,” replied the boy.
you get the car?”
“Well, it was parked by a fire plug
and I didn’t want the lady to get a
ticket so I moved it,” explained Art.
“More darn fire plugs in this town,”
said Nutty as the two boys exchanged
an understanding grin.

A short while later Art stood on a
corner of one of the town’s busy inter-
sections. His thoughts turned toward
such subjects as fire plugs and police
tickets as his eyes fell on a coupe close
by a fire plug. !
Suddenly he heard a violent screech
of brakes. Turning he perceived a small
pup standing in the middle of the street.
Confused, the pup started to run directly
in the path of a big truck bearing down
on him." Seeirig his danger, Art dashed
across the street.
about to crush the pup, Art ran in
front of it, snatched up the dog, and
leaped to safety.
On Soe) opposite corner, in front of
her husband’s drugstore, Mrs. Doray put
her hands in front of her eyes and
shrieked to the high heavens as she saw
the beginning of this little drama. It
wasn’t until Art dashed on the curb
next to her that she dared look. When
she saw her dog was safe she took it
from the boy and hugged it.
“That was a very brave thing to do,”
she said to Art. “Why, you might have
been hurt.” She stared at the -boy for
a moment and suddenly recognized him
as the boy she saw in the courtroom.
“You're Arthur Simpson, aren’t you,”
she asked.
“Yes, ma'am.”
Her husband, perceiving the small
crowd, came out of the store. “What's
the matter, Edie,” he asked Mrs. Doray.
“Why, this boy just saved Sandy from
being run over by a truck.”
“Much obliged,” said Doray, giving
Art a curt nod.
“Jack,” said Mrs: Doray,
(a boy here in the store. Why don't
you give the job to Art? I'm sure he
needs the work, and I have a particular
reason for wanting to help him.”
“Don’t you know he’s supposed to
be the worst kid in town,” protested
Doray.
“you need
“I don’t believe it,” replied the
woman. '
“Well, he’s no rose geranium,”
countered Doray.
“Please, Jack, for me,” she pleaded.
“All right,” said Doray grudgingly.
“But you'll see that I know what I'm
talking about.”
“Want a job,” he continued, turning
to the boy.

Chapter II
HEN Art approached Doray’s
Drug Store the next afternoon,
he presented a disreputable
sight. His clothes were torn and dirty,
his face cut and bruised. To make
things worse, he had been officially
notified by the principal of the school
that his status as a student was a thing
of the past. This, coupled with the
fact that he was an hour late for his
new job, didn’t serve to brighten his
outlook.
" The eventful day had started out bad
for him early in the morning. On his
way to school with Nutty, they noticed
one of their classmates, Mabel Wells,
walking ahead of them. She .was a
pretty girl of twelve.
From one of the street corners a larger
boy, Bull Carron, stepped up to Mabel’s
side and stopped her.
“Hello, cutie,” they heard "him say.
“Want me to carry your books?”
“No, I don’t,” replied: the girl.
“Aw, come on. Don’t be like that.”
With these words Bull put one arm
around her waist and tried to take her
books.
Art and Nutty stopped and watched
this scene. :
“Who's that fresh guy,” asked Art.
“That's Bull Carron,” said Nutty.
“He just got transferred here from the
South Side. I heard he licked every kid
there.”
“I don’t care if i is tough,” said
Art as he started forward towards the
pair. “He's not going to get fresh with
Mabel. Come on.
Mabel was struggling with Bull, who
was trying to take her books. As Art
and Nutty came running up to them,
Bull turned and let go of Mabel’s books.
Art shouldered in between Bull and
Mabel. She welcomed him with a thank-
ful look.
“Hello, Mabel,”
time staring at Bull.
for me?”
“Yes, I was,” she replied. TL “wanted
you to ‘walk to school with me.’
With this Art took her arm and the
two of them started walking away. Bull
started after them but Nutty grabbed his
arm.
“Don’t get funny, you runt,”
Bull as he turned on Nutty.
“You want to make something big
out of it,” challenged Nutty.
Bull looked Nutty over and laughed,
much to the latter’s annoyance.
“Well, well,” cried Bull. “A tough
guy. Bartling Kid Four-Eyes.” Bull
suddenly snatched off Nutty’s glasses
and held them up.
"Now what can you see,” cried \Bull
as Nutty struggled to take the glasses
from the larger boy. ‘Four eyes, four
eyes.’ Bull's chant was taken up by
several other boys who formed a circle
about them.
Hearing this noise, Art perceived Bull
tormenting Nutty. He turned abruptly
from Mabel and dashed away toward
the group. Just as Nutty made another
futile grab for the glasses, Art burst
through the circle.
"Give Nutty back his glasses,” he
commanded.
said Art, at the same
“Were you looking
said
Bull calmly tuthed around,
Who says so?”
“If you don’t give ‘em back I'll show
you who says so,” said Art as he drew
back his fist
Bull promptly put on the glasses.
“Aah, you can’t hit a man with
glasses on,” shouted Bull eager tc tos-
ment this new victim. The other kids
laughed at this bit of comedy but only
for a second.
Art suddenly lowering his head, he
butted Bull in the stomach. As the
latter doubled up, Ait took the glasses
off and handed them to Nutty. Then
Nutty took advantage of Bull's bent-
over position to give him a smart kick.
Bull straightened up and turned angrily
to Nutty, who grinned at him and
tapped his glasses. Art stepped up to
Bull and grabbed him by the coat lapels.
“Now I'm just going to tell you one
thing,” he warned Bull. “You know
Nutty don’t like to be kidded about his
weak eyes so if you ever do it again,
I'm going to knock the stuffin’ out of
ou.’
The two ‘stood eye to eye for a
second. Bull dropped back a step and
put up his hands. Art dropped back
and squared off for the ensuing battle.
Just as hostilities were about to com-
mence the sound of the bugle call from
the school was heard. Bull dropped his
hands.
“I'll wait for you after school,” he
threatened.
“Okay,” said Art.
The resumptions of hostilities, sched-
uled for after school, was given an
earlier start than anticipated. As the
lines of students marched into their
respective class-rooms, and stood at
attention besides the desks, Bull, stand-
ing in back of Nutty, gave him a vicious
poke in the back as a final measure of
retaliation for the combined. assaults of
Art and Nutty.
Art, standing in the adjacent row, saw
this. His face lit up with anger as he
saw Nutty go sprawling into the next
boy. In one leap he jumped through
the intervening desk, grabbed Bull's arm,
whirled him around and knocked himx
“Oh yeah.
down. The class room immediately was. _
in an uproar. The teacher rushed in
and pushed Art away from the prostrate:
Bull.
Suspended from school by the irate
teacher who saw no justification for his
conduct in the class room, Art was im
the “proper mind for combat as he cit-
cled around Bull, while a large crowd
of boys formed a circle about them on
the athletic field after classes.
After a few preliminary feints on the
part of both combatants, the two finally
came together midst the wild shouts of
encouragement from the onlookers.
Nutty, in the foreground, holding Art's
coat quivered nervously as each blow
was struck.
For a while Art held the upper hand
in the fight until a wild swing by Bull
caught him off-balance and upset him.
Dazed, he slowly got up from the
ground only to be floored by another
hard blow. A third time he sprawled
to the ground in a like manner. Seeing
Art was hurt, the boys crowded in and
stopped the fight. The crowd followed
the victorious Bull, leaving Nutty alone
to minister to the injured loser.
Accordingly, when Art entered the
drug store shortly after the fight, Doray
halted him at the entrance.
“Where you going,” he said harshly.
“Why you told me to come to work
after school today,” replied Art, sur-
prised at Doray’s tone.
“Yes, I said after school and 1 meant
three- thirty, not four o'clock,” replied
PDoray. “You don’t have to come to
work here now. You're through before
you start,’
