SUNDAY'S SERMON and th H th I! H and on s s. in Manic. OYHOOD is the longest time in lifeâ€"for a boy. The last term of the school year is made of decades, not of weeks. and living through them is like wait- ing for the millennium. But they do pass somehow, and at last there came a day when Penrod was one of a group that capered out from the traveled yard or ward school No. 7, carrollng a leavetaking of the institution, of their instructress and not even forgetting Mr. Capps. the janitor. "Good-bye. teacher! Good-bye. school! Goodâ€"bye. Cappsle. dern old fool!" Penrod sang the loudest. For every boy there is an age when he “finds his voice.” Pgnrod’s had not “changed,” but he had found it. Inevitably that thing had come upon his family and the neighbors, and his father, a some- what dyspeptic man, quoted frequently the expressive words of the “Lady of Shalutt.” but there were others whose sufferings were as poignant. Vacation time warmed the young of the world to pleasant languor, and a morning came that was like a brightly colored picture in a child’s fairy story. Miss Margaret Schofleid, reclining in a hammock upon the front porch, was beautiful in the eyes of a newly made senior. well favored and in fair rai- ment. beside her. A guitar rested light- ly upon his knee, and he was trying to play. a matter of some difficulty, as the floor of the porch also seemed inclined to be musical. From directly under his feet came a voice of song. shrill, loud, incredibly piercing and incredibly flat. dwelling upon each syllable with in- comprehensible reluctance to leave it: “I have lands and earthly pow-wur. I'd give all for a now-war. Whl-ilst setting at my-y-y dear old moth- er's knee-ee. So-o-o rem-mem-bur whilst you're young”- Miss Schofleld stamped heartily upon the musical floor. “It’s l’enrod,” she explained. “The lattice at the end of the porch is loose, and be crawls under and comes out all bugs. He’s been having a dreadful singing fit latelyâ€"running away to plcâ€" ture shows and vaudeville, I suppose.” Mr. Robert Williams looked upon her yearningly. He touched a thrilling chord on his guitar and leaned nearer. “But you said you have missed me." he began. “I”â€" The voice of Penrod drowned all oth- er sounds. “So-oâ€"o rom-mom-bur. whl-l-ust you’ro young, That the da-t-ya to you will come When you're o-o-old and only in the way. Do not scoff at them bee-cause"- “Pernod!” Miss Schofleld stamped again. "You want to choke a person to death?" he inquired severely, appear- ing at the end of the porch, a cobweb upon his brow. Ami. continuing. he put into practice :1 newly acquired phrase. “You better learn to be more considerick of other reople's comfort.” Slowly and grierodly he withdrew. passed to the sunny side of the house. reclined in the warm grass beside his wistful Duke and presently sang again. “She’s sweeter tar than the flower I named her after, And the memery of her smile 1t haunts me yet! When in after years the moon is somy beamun' And at eve I smell the smell of mignon- ette I will re-CALL that"â€" 7‘You did say you’d missed me." said Mr. Robert Williems, seizing hurried- ly upon the silence. “Didn’t you say”- A livelier tune rose upward. “Oh, you talk about your (minute: beauties, 0! your dem-o-zells, your belles. But the iittil dame I met. while in the city. She’s par excellaws the queen of all the swells. She's sweeter tar”â€" Margaret rose and jumped up and down repeatedly in a. well calculated area. whereupon the voice of Penrod cried chokedly, “Quit that!" and there were subterranean coughings and sneezing; “Pen-rod!” Mr. Schofield appeared at an open window upstairs, a hook in his hand. "Stop it!" he commanded. ”Can’t I stay home with a headache one morn- ing from the omce without having to listen toâ€"l never did hear such squawking!" He retired from the win- dow, having too impulsively called upon his maker. Penrod. shocked and injured, entered the house. but pres- ently his voice was again audible as far as the front porch. He was holding converse with his mother. somewhere in the interior. “Well. what of it? Sam Williams told me his mother said if Bob ever did think of getting married to Mar- garet. his rmpthgr said she‘d like to CHAPTER XI. linow what In the name 0' goodnesq they expect to”â€" The next minute Penrod opened it. “I suppose you want the whole family to get a snnstroke,” he said reproving- ly. “Keepin’ every breath of air out o’ the house on a day like this!” Bang! Margaret thought it better to close the front door. And he sat down implacably in tho doorway. the lmmemorial burden of courtship. Tragedy should have found place for him. but he has been left to the hap- hazard vignettist or Grub street. He is the grave and real menace of lovers. His head is sacred and terrible. h1- power illimitable. There ls one way- .anly one-to deal with him. but Robert Williams. having a brother of Penrod’s age, understood that way. The set-lou- poetry of all language. nus omitted the llttle brother. and ”I he is one of the meat trials of love- Enslaved forever. the new Rockefel- ler rose and went forth upon the high- way, an overflowing heart bursting the lloodga tes of song: “In her eyes the light at love was somy gleamun', So sweatlay, So neatlay. On the banks the moon's soft light "I brightly streamun', Words of love I then spoke to her. She was purest of the pew-er: ‘Littil sweetheart, do not sigh. Do not weep and do not cry. I will build a littil cottige just for yaw- ew-ew and I.’ " In fairness it must be called to mind that boys older than i’enrod have these wellings of pent melody. A wife can never tell when she is to undergo a musical morning. and even the golden wedding brings her no security; a man of ninety is liable to bust loose in song any time. lnvalids murmured pitifully as Pen- rod came within hearing. and people trying to think cursed the day that they were born when he went shrilling by. His hands in his pockets. his shin- ing face uplifted to the sky of June, he passed down the .street. singing his way into the heart’s deepest hatred at all who heard him. "One evuning I was sturow-linz‘ Midst the city of the Dead. I viewed where all a-round me Their peace-full graves was spread. But that which touched me mostlay"-â€" He had reached his journey's end. a junk dealer’s shOp, wherein lay the long desired treasure of his soulâ€"an accordion which might have possessed a high quality of interest for an anti- quarian, being unquestionably a min. beautiful in decay and quite beyond the sacrilegions reach or the restorer. But it was still able to disgorge sounds. which could be heard for a remarka- ble distance in all directions. and it had one rich calflike tone that had gone to Penrod’s heart. He obtained the in- strument for 22 cents. a price long since agreed upon with the junk dealer. who falsely claimed a loss of profit, Shylock that he was! He had found the wreck in an alley. Robert had $1 in the world He gave it to Penrod immediately. With this purchase suspended from his shoulder by a faded green cord. Penrod set out in a somewhat home- ward direction, but not by the route he had just traveled, though his motive for the change was not humanitarian. It was his desire to display himself thus troubadouring to the gaze of Marb jorie Jones. Heralding his advance by continuous experiments in the music of the future. he pranced upon his blithesome way. the faithful Duke at his heels. (It was easier for Duke than it would have been for a younger dog. because with advancing age he had be- gun to grow a little deaf.) Bareheaded. the sunshine glorious upon her amber curls. Marjorie was strolling hand in hand with her baby brother, Mitchell, four years old. She wore pink that dayâ€"unforgettable pink, with a broad. black patent leath- er belt, shimmering reflections dancing upon its surface. How beautiful she was! How sacred the sweet little baby brother, whose privilege it was to cling to that small hand delicately powdered with freckles. Turning the corner nearest to the glamored mansion of the Joneses. the boy Jongleur came suddenly face to face with Marjorie and. in the delicious surprise of the encounter. ceased to play, his hands. in agitation. falling from the instrument. “Hello, Marjorie!” said Pernod. at- tecting carelessness. “Hello!" said Marjorie, with unex- pected cordiality. She bent over her baby brother with motheriy aflecta- tions. “Say ‘bowdy’ to the gent:- muns, Mitchy-Mitch," she urged sweet- ly, turning him to face Penrod. “YVon’t!” said Mltchy-Mitch. and to emphasize his refusal kicked the sen- Penrod’s feelings underwent instant change. and in the sole occupation of disliking Mildly-Mitch be wasted pre- cious seconds whim might have been better employed in philosophic consid- eration of the startling example Just aflorded of how a given law operate- throughout the universe in precisely the same manner perpetually.

Of course. too, she was curious about the accordion. It would be dastardly to hint that she had noticed a paper bag which bulged the pocket of Penrod’s coat. and yet this bag was undeniably conspicuous- “and children are very like grown peo- ple sometimes!"

Owowaoh! Wowohah! Waow- wow!” shrieked Mitchy-Mitch. This was what be had come for. He threw back his head. lifted his eyes dreamily. as he had seen real mu- sicians lift theirs. and distended the accordion preparing to produce the Mitchy-Mitch. to emphasize his dis- approval of the accordion. opening his mouth still wider. lost therefrom the Jaw breaker. which rolled in the dust. Weeping. he stooped to retrieve it. and Marjorie. to prevent him. hastily set her foot upon it. i’enrod ofl'ered an- other jaw breaker. but Mitchy-Mitch struck it from his hand. desiring the former. which had convinced him of its sweetness.
