BOOK I CHAPTER I gPRTNG came late in the year 1890, so it came more violently, and the fullness of its burgeoning heightened the season.nl disturbance that made unquiet in the blood. On this particular day, the 28th of April, the vast sky seemed vaster than bluer higher. The roads were like the strands of a gigantic web, weaving anc knitting closer and closer unti they reached a Row, the county seat. "A good town," everyone said. "A good, clean town.

A good town to live in, and a good place to raise your children." In the sagging center of this web of roads Kings Row presented, an attractive picture as one drove in from the country. Elms, oaks, and maples arose in billows of early summer green. The white steeple of tho Mathodist church, the gilt weather vane of the Baptist, and the slender slate-covered spire of tiie Presbyterian thrust high. In the center arose the glistening dome of the courthouse. In the first glimpse of the town, if one happened to approach it from the west, one saw the public school Row's special pride.

It stood on a rise of ground and looked down on Town Creek, where that noisy little stream bent itself around the wect and south of the city limits. On adjoining rise stood Aberdeen College, the Presbyterian school for buys. The old brick sidewalks, unwen after many years, were mossy cr.d cool under the shade Iress Dra ke nMo 4 Ieaned forward and whispered some- J3 t0 ari Ch Parris lufcWy at CM- sandra, absorbed in her book.

It had successfully simulated the mellowness and fcstablished ways of older towns east and towns remembered in the affections of the early builders.

In the courthouse yard, a few men sat under the trees with chairs tilted back. Some, declaring that summer had come and that such heat was unseasonable, had taken off their coats. "It's not healthy," they declared. "There'll be a lot of sickness if this keeps up." A lumber wagon made its de- UN IEAKING OUT jiue to external irritation?

Miles Jackson, editor of The Gazette, had started the fashion in the weekly paper. Some thought it sounded too preten- tentious for a town of 4000 people.

'J'HE lumber wagon had reached the hill where the road sloped down to the bridge across Town Creek. The driver awoke from pleasant meditations as the heavy load gained unwonted speed on the descent. He jerked the lines. "Whoa, where you think you're goin'?" His voice carried easily through the open windows of the schoolroom where Miss Sally Venable held sway over some 60 children ranging in age from 10 to 14.

She knew the homes of these children, and Ihc-ir present fortunes, so she fount! interest in i-nagLuntf their She stiicllfi Tower tho prettiest Boys were beginning to be interested in of his arched ncsc. Drake, robust, deep-chested, hair always falling into his eyes.

"A regular boy," most people said, but Sally Venable was not so sure of that. He was open and frank, but his mouth was a trifle loose for so young a boy. Drake gave up his fruitless ogling of Cassandra Tower. That lovely creature was far away on an island with the Swiss Robinsons. Cassandra's oval face remained as ivory-cool and pale as always, although her eyes were excited.

Odd cold. Drake McHugh leaned forward and whispered something to Parris Mitchell who occupied the desk in front of him. Parris gave an impatient wriggle but glanced quickly at Cassandra. A slight flush warmed his downy face. Miss Venable made a slight tch! but no one heard her, Parris Mitchell was her pet.

The boy was different in every way. Perhaps it was because he lived with that curious foreign grandmother, Madame von Eln. Dr. Alex Berdorff, pastor of the German Lutheran church, said that Parris spoke French and German better than he did English. He looked foreign, she thought.

Stocky and broad-shouldered. Vitality showed in his warm coloring and in the heavy eyebrows arched high over large hazel eyes. A slight shadow showed on his upper lip, although he was only 12. He had a quickness of motion that bespoke Latin blood. That rippling motion of his hands, for example.

He was the only boy in Kings Row v-'ho studied music. Raj-iiv Monaghan, on the other side of had her attention derailed by the movements of the two boys. One loaned forward and looked unoor Chandra's desk. A grin, shrewd and a little coarse, widened her mouth. She made a low sibilant sound.

Both Drake and Parris looked back. Thrusting her knee from under the desk, she snapped a red elastic garter and erinncd acain 'JIUE hamls of Miss Venable's watch pointed to 4. She tapped on the dcnk, and instantly the room buzzed. "Quiet, quiet! Clear your desks." Hats were distributed quieldy by boys and girls were appointed weekly to thir. privilege as a reward for good behavior, 'kiss Venable often wondered why it was considered a privilege.

Peyton Graves, a quiet boy in school, but a noisy one outside slapped each hat down on the desk in front of its owner as he moved rapidly up the aisle. "Position!" The children sat upright "Turn!" Heels clomped into the aisles "Rise!" Scuffling and scraping of feet. Their departure was thunderous. Miss Venable fetched a long tremulous breath of relief. She- walked to the window and watched the dispersing crowd.

In the hall she could hear the hollow thumping of the upper grades descending the stairs. Shouts of the boys mingled with the shrill chatter of the girls. Miss Venable was sometimes given to half-philosophical meditations on life and society as she saw it through her pupils. The prescribed social lines of the town fell upon them the moment they left the democracy of the classroom. The children of rich parents, the "nice" children, the poor children, and the children who rested under the fatal classification denned by other children as were all like so many helpless pieces thrown out from a common center by some centrifugal force that sent them severally and separately on predestined ways.

Already their feet were set on reads that led them farther and farther apart. "It's strange," she thought, "how quick- they feel it themselves, and low effectively it works. They seem to know it and to accept it. I guess th.jVs a mercy." (To Be Oil and Gas Filings Hempstead County February 1942 Prepared by Jewelle Bartlett O. G.
