could roll and play and never get

dear went to heaven."
When Bryce wa. «lx years old. his
father sent him to the public school
In Sequoia with the children of his
loners and mill-hands, thus laying
the foundation for a democratic edu-
cation all too Infrequent with the sons
of men rated a. millionaire.. Bryce s
boyhood was much the same as that
of other lads In 8equola, save that In
the matter of tovs and later puns,
fishing-rods, dogs ... I ponies he was a
source of envy to Ills fellows. After

"Let's be friends."

Her gaie wandered past Bryce to
where his Indian pony stood with her
head out of the window of her box-
stall contemplating her mnster.
••Oh, what n dear little horse!
Shirley Sumner exclaimed. "Whose

she belongs to me."
"Do you ride her?"
"Not very often now. I'm getting
too heavy for her, so Dad's bought me
a horse that weighs nine hundred
pounds. Midget only weighs five
hundred." He considered her a mo-
ment while she gazed In awe upon
this man with two horses. "Can you
ride a pony?" he asked, for no reason
that he was aware of.
She sighed, shaking her head re-
slgnedlv. "We haven't any room to
keep a pony at our house.In'

When Shirley and her uncle anc

Francisco, Bryce stood disconsolate
on the dock and waved to Shirley
until he could no longer discern her

companion very frequently for a week,
and he lost his appetite, very much to
Mrs. Tully'a concern. Then the
