Although his parents were bright people, it was plainly and painfully evident that this boy was lagking im ordinary intelligence. Mie mame was Percival, which may ‘pave accounted for it. However that might have been, Percy was known to all as “The Lunkhead.” He was the Butt of all Jokes. But he was a dandy dancer.

This kept Percy from dallying around all the girls) &t social gatherings and gave other young men their opportunity to make love to them. The young men were saved. They were delighted and told the Lady so very plainly. She had kept the Lunk- head so busy trotting after her that each young man had been able to make love to his own choice. The young men declared the Lady was a veritable fairy. “Oh yes." sighed the lady, “I have been a good fairy to you, but how about yourselves?
