He still wrote rather stiff, polite letters to Alum Green, since an hour on Sunday after- noons at Barford was reserved for letter writing, and when the weekly bulletin for Torquay was finished he had nobody else to whom he wanted to send his mews. But these letters, full of details as to which House was likely to win the Junior Footer Cup, or how splendidly Manning, the head of the House, had battled against the Trojans, served to widen rather than bridge the gulf between him and Jimmy Raleigh. Occasionally & note in Jimmy's round, childish handwriting made him a little homesick for Alum Green. be- cause of the casual details it contined: “The oak at the corner of the Wilsons' | garden has been struck by lightning Jast Wednesday. It looks awfull...I have a ripping collection of butterflies now with several tortousesheils and pecocks and a silver-washed fritillary I caught just outside Wilman's Wood. .. Daddy has built a new conservative for his tomatoes and I broke it yesterday with the croquet ball you chiped last Summer when you were here...Madge | is getting on well at Brighton, but its a bit dull without her except for Pat, who sends you & wag of his tail” Madge from her boarding school also wrote him occasional letters, in a hand- writing that leant backwards instead of forwards and scrawled all over the page, to tell him how she was getting on at hockey or cricket, and what a ripping games mistress they'd got. Such letters, although they dealt with a world he did not know and openly despised (even when it slavishly imitated his own), helped to remind him of Alum Green, because, in some strange way, every word she wrote was so genuinely “Madge-y"—she scribbled down her thoughts exactly &s they came to her and exactly as she would have uttered them had they been together. But he thought less and less of Alum Green and the Raleighs, and more and more of his few particular chums at Barford: Little, who bowled so well; Graham, who was very good fun when you got over his shyness, although most chaps called him a “swot” or a “greaser.” Kindersley, whose father was a general in India, and who was already one of the best shots in the school. Although he was himself good at cricket, and showed promise as a three~quarter at Rugger, Stanhope was not very popular, for he was quick to take offense, and never took the initia- tive in confiding in people, so that these three friends, who by ¢hance or per- sistence had come to know him_well, found him devoted and loyal. When he was not with them they tired quickly of each other's company, for they had little in common beyond their liking for him; but his presence altered every- thing. If they broke bounds to bathe in the river, if they made a particularly daring raid on some farmer’s orchard, if they suddenly became industrious and all did their “prep” thoroughly instead of sorting out postage stamps beneath the cover of a book on algebra or Latin syntax, if they discovered some new way of “ragging” the science master, the initiative could always be traced back to Dennis Stanhope. Occasionally, and @s likely &s not for no obvious reason at all, he would fly into a rage and attack one of them, and then, secretly ashamed of himself, would put on a mask of eomplete indifference which in the end.led to an apology by the victim to 8ggressor. But, once that apology had been made, he would, by some little act, show an almost touching loyalty and affection. In the same way he had been Ikno to funk “( : “It’s a pity the kid’s so moody.

Every one all “Yes, thanks, Stanhope. Quite all right.” He had it on the tip of his tongue to tell him how Pat had got rheumatism. and how Madge was in her First Eleven ut hockey. But there were other fellows passing all the time, exhanging a word or two of greeting with Stanhope as they , 8o that he let the opportunity slip. ‘"Whose dorm are you in?" ";‘homlaum's." - “Same floor as mine. Everything all right? Finding your way about?” “Yes, thanks, Stanhope.” “Bit strange at first, hut you'll soon settle down. Come to me if there's any difficulty.” “Thanks very much. But I'll be all right.” “You ought to be pretty useful for the Junior House matches. Grainger's want some good bats. You know how to hit all right. Get some practice, and you ought to be in the Junior Eleven. It's time Grainger's got the cup back. Well, see you about some time.” And Stanhope went off to his study, a little relieved to get the first interview over so well. Raleigh was a sensible kid, and realized that things were dif- ferent now. A very decent kid, in fact, and he'd soon become popular. He had that knack of getting on well with people and making them like him. As for Raleigh, he thrust into the background a slight feeling of disap- pointment. He had so many messages and so many items of gossip that Dennis—Stanhope—would have liked to hear. He had not even given Daddy’s invitation to come down for any holi- days he could—somehow it wasn't done, on the first night of one's first term, to invite a fellow so important as Stanhope to come down for the hols. As for all the things Madge had told him to Say, they did not matter. Girls didn’t really understand these barriers that you had 8t a public school. Besides, Stanhope couldn’t be expected to be interested in all her gossip about her own school. And it was very decent of Dennis— Stanhope—to taik like that about the Junior House Cricket Cup. He must His thoughts were interrupted by a boy who came along the corridor. “Hullo,” sald the newcomer, “here's practice like blazes, 5-Piece Parlor Suites Antigues 2-Piece Overstuffed Suites Dining Room Chairs SAFE FUR CLEANING Cloth coats and lin- ings cleaned, the furs glazed $2.50 Fur coats and linings cleaned, the fur $5 D Largest Be Sure and Have Your RUGS Blankets Draperies Upholstered Furniture - and Apparel Vogue-Cleaned Which Means Special Processed No Charge for Storage Phone Atlantic 0023 v Cleaning § | Philipsborn modern clectric cleaning preserves the life of the fur . . . thoroughly cleans- ing by whipping out every remote particle of dust, dirt or foreign substance . . . pro- tecting natural oils . . . re- storing the fur to original beauty . . .

Then he called to his friends in the com- mon room: kh;l" say, chaps, here's anothér new Raleigh, acutely nervous and un- happy, but trying hard to his ease, spent an unpleasant answering questions until the bell rang for prayers, and he trooped with al the other boys ito a big room, where Mr. Grainger, the hous¢master, read a passage out of the New Testament, and then led the general recitation of the Lord’s Prayer, always & beat or two of the confused echo of it that came from the boys. Afterwards he gave a short leeture on the importance of making the most of the new term, while Raleigh allowed his eyes to wan- der to the shields thet hung all round the room. Shooting Eight. Balliol Scholar. First Pifteen. Pirst Eleven. An immense list of distinctions, dating back to 1880, when the system had been adopted. The most recent shield was only half filled. Stanhope’s name was already there for his share in capturing the Gym Cup, and for winning the Junior mile. It was a big shield, with room for some 25 more names. How, Raleigh wondered, as he waited at the tail of a long queue for biscuits and milk, could manage to get his name carved in the polished oak of one of these tablets g: tdl‘fll’ll:“nm"? He'd jolly well do his st. When the ragging in the dormitory was over and he was on the verge of sleep, his last conscious thoughts dealt With this impressive shield, and with Dennis’ decency for promising to help him if he needed help.
