At least, he was honest enotigh to make a partial re traction when his friend and class mate, Fred Mitchell, insisted that an amelioration of Dora's appearance could be actually proven. "Well, I'll take it back. I don't claim she's every last bit as awful lookin' as she always has been," said Ramsey, toward the conclusion of the argument. "I'll say this for her, she's awful lookin', but she may not be as awful lopkin' as she was. She don't come to school with the edge of some of her underclo'es showin' below her dress any more, about every other (lay, and her eyewInkers have got to stick In' out some, and she may not be so abbasalootly skinny, but she'll haf to wiait a mighty long while before I want to look at her without gettin' sick I" The Implication that Miss Yocum cared to have Ramsey look at her, either with or without gettln' sick, was mere rhetoric, and recognized as such by the producer of it; she had never given the slightest evidence of any desire that his gaze be bent upon her. What truth lay underneath his flour ish rested upon the fact that he could not look at her without some synp toms of the sort he had tersely sketched to his friend; and yet, so pungent is the fascination of self-in flicted misery, lie did look at her, dur ing periods of study, often for three or four minutes at a stretch. His ex pression at such times indeed resem bled that of one who has dined un wisely ; but Dora Yocum was always too eagerly busy to notice it. lie was almost never in her eye, but she was continually in his; moreover, as the banner pupil she was with hourly fre qluency an exhibit before the whole class.

He didn't care for George Washington, or Paul Revere, or the teacher, or the President of the United States, or Shakespeare, or any of 'em. -They could all go to the dickens with Dora Yocum.

Ramsey couldn't hate Abraham Lincoln, even when Dora was chosen to deliver the "Gettysburg Address," on the twelfth of ehriiuary. Lincoln had said "Government of the people, by the people, for the people," and that didn't mean governident by the teacher and the Teacher's Pet and Paul Revere and Shakespeare and suchlike ; it meant government by everybody, and the'refore llamnsey had as much to (10 with it as anybody else had. Beyond a doubt, Dora and the teacher thought Lincoln belonged to them and their crowd of exclusives; they seemed to think they owned the whole United States; but Itamsey was sure they were mistaken about Abra. han Lincoln. ie felt that it was just like this lit. tle Yocun snippet to assume such a thing, and it made him sicker than ever to look at her.
