Lives in Coimtry. A large, rambling farmhouse, five miles from the nearest paved road, has been Dean's home for tne past 5 years. His mother, seated on the porch of ths Lucas home rocking Dean's youngest sister.

Betty. aged months, confides thi secret of her son's success. "You see," she explains, "rpads here in the winter are nearly impassable, four horses usually are required to haul the 'kid wagon 1 through the mud. We cell the wagon which collects the children to take them to the consolidated school 2 miles up the road the 'kid Instead of going places at night. Dean studied his spelling and the rest the family has helped him.

Spelling Easy for Him. "Speuing never has been hard for him. He helped his room win The county cup three times in succession. Last year he went to Washington, only to fail on the word He didn't quite understand the meaning and jSpelled it meant tp "EomeYhmg- about. "Upon his return he determined to -win the contest this year.

He got a high school dictionary and studied every word in it. in the evening we used to pronounce the i words for him that were difficult 1 and listen to him spell them." I Baby Betty evinces no interest in big- -brother's feat, but a er now in the third grade, who sits balancing himself on the rail! ing in imminent danger of tum- bling backwards, wants it stood that he's going to bring I fresh honor to the family name soon as he is old-enough to enter the Washiugtoa competition.

Dean Lucas, cham- speller, is retiring and he i would niuch prefer to don his overalls anil stroH about the farm than aitend grownup luncheons telling club members how he won I ths championship.

''Dean's just like even- other boy his age," Mrs. Lucas says, "shy and bashful. He's thrilled, i of course, but $1,000 is a lot of money and I don't believe he justjiow much it is. I don't know vrirat he'H do with it. He says npiv he wants to be a me! chanical engineer, so he may use I it for college tuition." i Modest and Unassuming.

And, too. like Lindy. Dean is modest and unassuming. Upon his return from the capital when, like a conquering hero, he was met by a band and a parade, his first words on entering his home iwere. as.he dashed upstairs to his bedroom, "Gee, mother, I'm going to take off these ciothes.

and put on rev overalls." i No tule of flaming youth, this a bashful country lad who did his best to excel and as a suit has earned the praise of the countryside and one thousand i dollars in gold.
