It was Esed Spiridion who had cut the logs off the public land. Everybody said so, everybody but the 12 little Spiridions that came stepping lightly to school over the pine straw. Rain or shine, never late, never noisy. Brown by the sun, healthy with hard work, lean from light feeding. "Troncon." Everybody boy in the f school had been fought for that. It was worth just one bloody nose to say "stump" to one of the little Spiridions. But Lucie Spiridion did not fight She was not even disdainful?save toward Luc Nadjarow, who sat next to her in class?she was always head ?and who worshiped her utterly from the sole of her slim bare foot to the topmost of her tOB6ing curls. Small joy did he get of his love affair. Ha, the poor Luc! He wahted to knock down every boy in the school, to slap the face of every girl?save Lucie. He wanted to tell Lncle that c he loved her. And all he did was to ^ lose his pencil. And little Esed found It! Luc's little brother arose in his ^ seat at the sight of that long, red pencil. I "Miss Nell, Esed stole my brother's pencil," he cried. Little Esed jumped up. He could not speak English. He pointed helplessly at the road. "Je trouve," he whimpered. Luc spoke up promptly. "That's all right, Miss Nell, I give it to him." a "May I speak?" asked Lucie, and g barely waiting the teacher's consent, shfl was across the room and had f "robbed little Esed of his beautiful v find. And Luc's pencil was on his desk again. ' . i Luc stood up hotly. "May I speak?" he demanded, and before all the school he said to little Esed: "That's tl yours. Keep it" F The little fellow looked at his sister, his lip quivering with the bitter q pain of renunciation, but he returned so haughtily as a baby may: "Je n'en ( ai pas besoin." And Luc went back to his seat with his pencil. Ha, slapped in the face by a baby?before 1 the whole school. It made him mad.

"If I prove your pap didn't cut those logs, you going let Esed keep that pencil he find?" I The girl's tone changed wonderfully. "May be I let him keep that pencil? j you give him," she said, softly. Ha! Hut it would seem that all ! the sweetness of that changed tone was lost on Luc. He said, stolidly. | "You going be at the horse race , Sunday? I prove it then." "Begin."
