(D lac 1d \V J Hi n H SchooL EXT morning. when he had once more resumed the dread- i’ul burden of education. it seemed infinitely duller. And yet what pleasanter sight is there than a schoolroom well filled with children of those sprouting years just before the teens? The casual visitor. gazing from the teacher’s platform upon these busy little heads. needs only a blunted memory to experience the most agreeable and exhilarating sen- sations. Still, for the greater part the children are unconscious of the happi- ness of their condition. for nothing is more pathetically true than that we “never know when we are well off." The boys in a public school are less aware of their happy state tha‘ are the girls. and of all the boys h his room probably Penrod himself had the least appreciation of his felicity. He sat staring at an open page of a textbook. but not studying. not even reading. not even thinking. Nor was he lost in a reverie. His mind’s eye was shut. as his physical eye might well have been. for the optic nerve. flaccid with ennui. conveyed nothing whatever of the printed page upon which the orb of vision was partially focused. Penrod was doing something very unusual and rare. something al- most never accomplished except by colored people or by a boy in school on a spring day-he was doing really nothing at all. He was merely a state of being. From the street a sound stole in through the open window. and abhor- ring nature began to fill the vacuum called I’enrod Schofleld. for the sound was the spring song of a mouth organ coming down the sidewalk. The win- dows were intentionally above the lev- el of the eyes of the seated pupils. but the picture of the musician was plain to l'enrod. painted for him by a quali- ty in the runs and trills partaking of the oboe. of the t-alliope and of cats in anguish~au excruciating sweetness ob- tained only by the wallowing. wallopâ€" ing yellow-pink palm of a hand whose back was Kongo black and shiny. The music came down the street and pass- ed beneath the window. acconn’mnied by the care free shuttling of a pair of old shoes scuffing syncopations (m the cement sidewalk. It passed into the distance: became faint and blurred: was gone. Emotion stirred in Penrod a great and poignant desire. but (per- haps fortunately) no fairy godmother made her appearance. Otherwise Pen- rod would have gone down the street in a black skin. playing the mouth or- gan. and an unprepared colored youth would have found himself enjoying educational advantages for which he had no ambition whatever. Roused from perfect apathy, the boy cast about the schoolroom an eye wearied to nausea by the perpetual vision of the neat teacher upon the platform. the backs of the heads of the pupils in front of him and the mo- notonous stretches of blackboard threateningly defaced by arithmetical formula and other insignia of torture. Above the blackboard the walls of the high room were of White plasterâ€" white with the qualified whiteness of eid snow in a soft coal town. This dismal expanse was broken by four lithographic portraits. votive offerings of a thoughtful publisher. The por- traits were of good and great men. kind men. men who loved children. Their faces were noble and benevo- lent. But the lithographs offered the only rest for the eyes ot’ ehildren t'a- tigued by the everlasting sameness of the schoulroom. Long day after long day. interminable week in and inter- minahle week out. vast month on vast month. the pupils sat with those four portraits beaming kindness down upon them. The faces inn-ame permanent in the consciousness of the children; they became an obsession. In and out of school the children were never free of them. The four :‘aees haunted the minds of children falling asleep. They hung upon the minds of children wak- ing at night; they rose forebodingly in the minds of children waking in the morning; they became monstrously alive in the minds of children lying sick of fever. Never While the chil- dren of that schoolroom lived would they be able to forget one detail of the tour lithographs. The hand of Long- fellow was fixed for them forever in his beard. And by a simple and un- conscious association of ideas Penrod Behodeld was accumulating an antipa- thy for the gentle Longfellow, and for James Ewell Lowell, and for Oliver Wendell Holmes, and for John Green- lssf Whittier which would never per- lithImtoperuseaworkofoneof CHAPTER V. those great New Englanders Without a feeling of personal resentment. His eyes tell slowly and inlmically from the brow of Whittier to the braid of reddish hair belonging to Victorine Riordan, the little octoroon girl who sat directly in front of him. Victo- rine's back was as familiar to Penrod as the necktie of Oliver Wendell Holmes. So was her gayly colored plaid waist. He hated the waist as he hated Victorine herself without knowing why. Enforced companion- ship in large quantities and on an equal basis between the sexes appears to sterilize the affections. and schoolroom romances are few. Victorine’s hair was thick and the brickish glints in it were beautiful, but Penrod‘ was very tired of it. A tiny knot of green ribbon finished off the braid and kept it from unraveling, and beneath the ribbon there was a final wisp of hair which was just long enough to repose upon Penrod’s desk when Victorine leaned back in her seat. It was there now. Thoughtful- ly he took the braid between thumb and forefinger and. without disturbing Victorine. dipped the end of it and the green ribbon into the inkwell of his desk. He brought hair and ribbon forth dripping purple ink and partially dried them on a blotter, though, a mo- ment later. when Victorine leaned for- ward, they were still able to add a few picturesque touches to the plaid waist. Rudolph Krauss, across the aisle from Penrod, watched the operation with protuberant eyes, fascinated. In- spired to imitation. he took a piece of chalk from his pocket and wrote “Rats" across the shoulder blades of the boy in front of him, then looked across appealingly to Penrod for to- kens of congratulation. Penrod yawned Half the members of the class pass- ed out to a recitation room, the em- purpled \‘ictorine among them, and Miss Spence started the remaining half through the ordeal of trial by mathe- matics. Several boys and girls were sent to the blackbmml. and l‘enrod, Spared for the moment. followed their operations a little while with his eyes. but not with his mind; then. sinking deeper in his seat. liinply abandoned the eifort. His eyes remained open. but saw nothing. The routine of the arithmetic lesson reached his ears in familiar, meaningless sounds, but he heard nothing, and yet. this time, he was profoundly occupied. lie had drifted away from the painful land of facts, and floated now in a new sea of fancy which he had just discovered. Maturity forgets the marvelous real- ness of a boy’s day dreams, how color- ful they glow. rosy and living, and how opaque the curtain closing down between the dreamer and the actual world. That curtain is almost sound proof, too, and causes more throat trouble among parents than is sus- pected. The nervous monotony of the school- room inspires a sometimes unbearable longing for something astonishing to happen, and as every boy’s fundamen- tal desire is to do something astonish- ing himself, so as to be the center of all human interest and awe, it was nat- ural that Penrod should discover in , fancy the delightful secret of self levi- tation. He found, in this curious se- ries of imaginings. during the lesson , in arithmetic, that i..c atmosphere may . be navigated as by a swimmer under , water, but with infinitely greater ease and with perfect comfort in breathing. In his mind he extended his arms ‘ gracefully. at a level with his shoul- ; ders, and delicately paddled the air with his hands, which at once caused him to be drawn up out of his seat and elevated gently to a position about mid- way between the iloor and the ceiling, where he came to an equilibrium and floated; a sensation not the less ex- quisite because of the screams of his fellow pupils. appalled by the miracle. ; Bliss Spence herself was amazed and frightened. but be only smiled down ‘ carelessly upon her when she com- manded him to return to earth, and , then, when she climbed upon a desk . to pull him down, he quietly paddled ’ ‘ himself a little higher, leaving his toes just out of her reach. Next he swam through a few slow somersaults to i show his mastery of the new art. and. , with the shouting of the dumfounded 1 scholars ringing in his ears, turned on _ his side and floated swiftly out of the 1 window, immediately rising above the I housetops, while people in the street below him shrieked. and a trolley car stopped dead in wonder. .. ___- ~._-.A_, _. With almost no exertion he paddled himwlf, many yards at a stroke, to the girls’ private school where Marjo- fie Jones was a pupilâ€"Marjorie Jones of the amber curls and the golden voice? Long before the "l‘zz'.;e-tiit of the Table Round" she had offered Pen- rod a hundred proofs that she consid. ered him “-h'iliy unriv-c‘rnbie and in- eligible.

And but yesterday she had chided him for his slavish lack of memory in daring to ofler her greeting on the way to Sunday school. “Well, I expect you must forgot i told you never to speak to me again! If I was a boy I’d be too proud to come hang- ing around people that don’t speak to me, even if I was the worst boy in town!" So she floated him. But now as he floated in through the window of her classroom and swam gently along the ceiling like an escaped toy balloon she fell upon her knees beside her lit- tle desk and, lifting up her arms to- ward him. cried with love and admira- tion: “Oh, Penrod!" He negligently kicked a globe from the high chandelier and. smiling cold- 1y. floated out through the hall to the front steps of the school, while Marjo- rie followed. imploring him to grant her one kind look. In the street an enormous crowd had gathered. headed by Miss Spence and a brass band. and a cheer from a hun- dred thousand throats shook the very ground as Penrod swam overhead. Marjorie knelt upon the steps and watched adoringly while Penrod took the drum major’s baton and. perform- ing sinuous evolutions above the crowd, led the hand. Then he threw the baton so high that it disappeared from sight. But he went swiftly after it. a double delight. for he had not only the delicious sensation of rocket- ing safely up and up into the blue sky, but also that of standing in the crowd below. watching and admiring himself as he dwindled to a speck. disappear- ed and then. emerging from a cloud, came speeding down. with the baton in his hand, to the level of the tree tops, where he beat time for the band and the vast throng and Marjorie Jones, who all united in the “Star Spangled Banner" in honor of his aerial achievements. It was a great moment. It was a great moment. but some- thing seemed to threaten it. The face of Miss Spence looking up from the crowd grow too vividâ€"unpleasant” vivid. She was beckoning him and shouting: “Come down, Penrod Scho- field! Penrod Schon’eld. come down here!" He could hear her above the hand and the singing of the multitude. She seemed intent on spoiling every- thing. Marjorie Jones was weeping to show how sorry she was that she had formerly slighted him and throwing kisses to prove that she loved him, but Miss Spence kept jumping between him and Marjorie. ineessantiy calling his name. !

He was sure “Pom-0d Schofiald! Penrod Schofiold. come down here!" she wanted him to do something dis- agreeable. It seamed to him that she had screamed "Penrod Sc-hofield!” thousands of times.
