One of Joel's letters written to his mother at about this time contains much that will prove of interest to the reader who has followed the fortunes of that youth thus far.

It supplied a certain amount of information appreciated only by its author and its recipient; facts regarding woolen stockings, items about the manner in which the boy's washing' was done, a short statement of his financial condition, a weak, but very natural expression of home longing. But such I will omit, as being too private in character for these pages. I don't think you need worry. Outfield West is rather idle about study, but he doesn't give much of a show, for he's about the busiest fellow I know in school. He's usually up a good hour before breakfast, which we have at eight n'cloek, and puts in a half hour practicing golf before chapel.

Then in the afternoon he's at it again when the weather will let him, and he generally spends his evenings, when not studying, in mending his clubs or painting balls. Then he's one of the canvassers for the class crew; and belongs to the Senior Debating Club, which draws its members from the two upper classes; and he's the president of the Golf Club. So you can see that he's anything but idle, even if he doesn't bother much about lessons. ''He's naturally a very bright fellow; otherwise he couldn't get along with his classes. I grow, to like him better every day; he's such a manly, kind hearted fellow, and one of the most popular in school.

He's rather big. with fine, broad shoulders, and awfully good looking. Ha has light brown hair, about the color of Cousin George's, and bright blue eyes; and he always looks as though he had just got out of the bath tub only stopped, of course, to put his clothes on. I guess we must be pretty old fashioned in our notions, we Maine country folks, because so many of my pet ideas and beliefs have been changed since I came here. You know with us it has always gone without dispute that rich boys are mean and worthless, if not reallv im moral.

But here they're not that way. I guess we never had much chance to study rich people up our way, mother. At the grammar school all lethe fellows looked down on wealthy boys; but we never had any of them around. The richest chap was Gilbert, whose father was a lumberman, and Gilbert used to wear shoes that yon wouldn't give a tramp. "I suppose West's father could buy Mr.

Gilbert out twenty times and not miss the money. Outfield isn't it a queer name spends a lot of money, but not foolishly; I mean he has no bad habits, like a few of the fellows. hope you will meet him some time. Perhaps I could have him up to stay a few days with me next summer. He'd be glad to come.

"No. my roommate, Sproule, doesn't improve any on acquaintance. But I've got so I don't mind him much. I don't think he's really as mean as he makes you believe. He's having hard work with his studies nowadays, and has less time to find fault with things.

"You ask how I spend my time. Dar little mother, you don't know what life in a big boarding school l'ke Hillton is. Why, I haven't an idle moment from one day's end to the next. Here's a sample. This morning I got up just iu time for chapel I'm getting to be a terrible chap for sleeping late and then had breakfast.

By that time it was quarter to nine. At nine I went to my mathematics. Then came Latin, then English. At twelve I reported on the green and practiced signals with the second squad until half past. Then cam lunch.

After lunch I scurried SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14. 1003. THE nARRTSBVEG TELEGRAPH, Healthful cream of tartar, derived solely from grapes, refined to absolute purity, is the active principle of every ROYAL BAKING POWDER NEW YORK. A Story of School, Football and Golf By RALPH HENRY BARBOUR Every Boy Who Loves Honest, up to my room and dug up on chemistry, which was at one thirty. Then came Greek at half past two.

Then I had an hour of loafing that is, I should have had it, but I was afraid of my to morrow's history, so put in part of the time studying that. At a little before four I hurried over to the gymnasium, got into foot ball tegs, and reached the campus 'just in time to be in We had a stiff hour's practice with the ball and learned two new formations. When I got back to the 'gym' it was a quarter past five. I had mv bath. Tubbed down, did two miles on the track, ex ercised with the weights, and got to supper ten minutes late.

West came over to the room with me and stayed until I put him out, which was hard work because he's heavier than I am. and I got my books out and studied until half an hour ago. It is now just ten o'clock, and as soon as I finish this I shall tumble into bed and sleep like a top. "I can't answer your question about Mr. Remsen, because I do not know him well enough to ask about his home or relatives.

But his first name is Stephen. Perhaps he is a relative of the Remsens you mention. Some day I'll find out. Anyhow, he's the grandest kind of a fellow. I suppose he's about thirty.

He has plenty of money, West says, and is a lawyer by profession. He has coached Hill ton for three years, and the school has won two out of three of its big games during those years. The big game, as they call it. is the game on Thanksgiving Day with St. "Eustace Academy, of Marshall.

This fall it is played here. tell father that I am getting on well with my studies, but not to hope too much for the Goodwin scholarship. There are so many, many smart fellows here! Sometimes I think I haven't a ghost of a show. But well. I'm doing my best, and, after all, there are some other scholarships that are worth getting, though I don't believe I shairbe sat isfied with anv other.

West savs I'm cheeky to even expect a show at the Goodwin. All the professors are very nice: even His real name is Durkee, and he is professor of English. He is not popular among the fellows, but is an awfully good instructor. The principal, Professor heeler, is called but it sounds worse than it is. Every one likes him.

He is not at all old, and talks to the fellows about foot ball and golf; and West says he can play a fine game of the latter when he tries. "I have been elected to the golf club and have joined. It costs a dollar and a half for this year, but West wanted me to join so much that I did. There are a lot of nice fellows in it the sort that it is well to know. And I am going to try for the Senior Debating Club after the holidays.

Tell father that he wouldn't be so down on foot ball if he could see the fellows that play it here at Hill ton. Mr. Remsen is head coach, as I have told you. Then there is an advisory committee of one pupil, one graduate, and one professor. These are Wesley Blair, Mr.

Remsen, and Professor MacArthur. Then there is a manager, who looks after the business affairs; and a trainor, who is Professor Beck; and, of course, a captain. Wesley Blair is the captain. The second eleven is captained by Tom Warren, who is a fine player, and who is substitute quarter back on the first or school eleven. In a couple of weeks both the first and second go to training tables; the first at one of the boarding houses in the village and the second in the school dining hall.

When that happens we go into training for sure, and have to be in bed every night at ten sharp and get up every morning at seven. I'm pretty sure now of a place on the second, and may possibly make the first before the season's done "Of course, I want the overcoat. But you had better send it as it is, Powde. in fine Manly Sport and I will have the tailor here in the village cut it over. He is very moderate in charges and does good work, so West tells me, and in this way it will be sure to fit right.

Thank father for me, please. Good night. "Your loving son. "Joel." The opportunity to inquire regarding Stephen Remsen's family connections presented itself to Joel on the day preceding the golf tournament and the foot ball game with Westvale. On account of the latter there had been onlv a half hour of light prac tice for 'the two squads, and Joel at half past four had gone to his room to study.

But when it came time to puzzle out some problems in geometry Joel found that his paper was used up. ana, ratner man uonun ui neighbors he pulled on his cap and started for the village store. (Continued ou Tuesday.) SHIREMANSTOWN and. rather than borrow of ni Shiremanstown. Nov.
