SYNOPSIS
William Butir, aged seventeen. fall* at

tittle sister, Jane. I* a fly In til* ointment
William Is *ent by hta mother to help
Genesis, darky of all work, bring home
lome washtube she had purchased. They
are accompanied by Clematis, Genesis'
mongrel dog. Miss Pratt, escorted by her
friends, conies along with h«r dog, Ploplt
A. dogfight ensues.
The dogs are separated. William van
ishes, disguised, under a boiler. That
evening he takes his father's dress suit
and calls upon Miss Pratt and her friend.
Miss Parcher.
Jane, a knowing youngster, explains
oertaln matters concerning William's love
^ffalr to her mother. She also knows the
fact that William has abstracted his fa
ther's dress suit.
William's attentions to Miss Pratt and
those Of rivals get on Mr. Parcher's nerves.
Jane tells Mr. Parcher In secret that Wil
liam can't get his father's dress suit any
longer because It Is being altered.
- Mrs. Baiter tells William she has sent
Mr. Baxter's dress suit to the tailor for
alterations. He Is crestfallen and quarrels
with Jane.
Mrs. Baxter gives a party for Miss
Pratt. William, descending the fetal ."S,
falls and tears his best suit. He had sat
on Jane's paint v>jr with another present
able suit.
His troubles detain him till the party Is
•rer, to his great chagrin. Later he dl»
•nsses matrimony with the aged parent of
Oeneals. Jane Is present at the discus
■Ion.
William goes for a walk with Mlsa Pratt,
swinging his father's borrowed cane.
Jane, unheeded, advises an umbrella. It
rains, and William geto wet.
He entered and iuNiiagtd to make Ills

If be were doing something quite un
emotional; then he said t<> the clerk:
"Oh, by the bye—ah, there's some
thing I wanted to 'tend to, now 1 hap
pen to be here. 1 was on my way to
take this overcoat to- to get something
altered at the tailor's for next winter.
'Course 1 wouldiPt want It till winter,
but I thought I might as well get It
done." He paused, laughing careless
ly, for greater plausibility. "I thought
he'd prob'ly want lots of time on the
Job—he's a slow worker. I've noticed—
and so I decided 1 might as well go
ahead and let him get at it Well, so
I was on my way there, but 1 Just no
ticed I only got about six minutes more
to get to a mighty Important engage
ment I got this morning, and I'd like
to leave It here and rouie by aud get

"Sure," said the clerk. "Hung it on

'Honest, I was go!n' to get it pressed!'
You can hang yours on the same nail."
It was with a lighter heart that he
left his overcoat behind him and
stepped out of the drug store. That
brought him within sight of the young
people, about thirty in number, gath

CHAPTER XII.
- Th« Big, Fat Lummox.
MR. JOHNNIE WATSON and
Mr. Joe Bullitt met Mm at
tb« pate and offered him
hearty greeting. All bicker
ing and dissension among these three
had passed. The lady was so won
drous Impartial that as time went on
the sufferers had come to be drawn
together rather than thrust asunder
by their common feeling.
Johnnie Watson bad with him today
a visitor of his own, a rastly over
grown person of eighteen, who at John
nie's beckoning abandoned a fair com
panion of the moment and came for
ward as William entered the gate.
"I want to lntradooce you to two of
my most lnt'mut friends, George," said
Johnnie, with anxious gravity. "Mr.
Baxter and Mr. Builltt let me Intro
dooce my cousin, Mr. Crooper. Mr.
Crooper. this la my friend. Mr. Baxter
and my friend, Mr. Bullitt."
The gentlemen shook hands solemnly.
Mr. Crooper became more Informal.
•'Johnnie wrote me to come over for
this shindig, so I thought I might as
well come." He laughed loudly. "Yes
sir," he added, " 'cause I'm pretty apt
to be on hand if there's anything
doln'f.' . . ■r . „
"Well, that's right,". said William,
and while they all laughed again Mr.
Crooper struck his couslii d Jorlal blow
upon the back.
"HI, ole sport," he cried, "I want to
meet that Miss Pratt before we start!
The ear'U be along pretty soon, and I
got her picked for the girl I'm goln' to
■It by."
The laughter of William and Joe Bul
litt, designed to express cordiality, sud
denly became flaccid and died. The
careless loudness—almost the notori
ety—with which he had uttered Miss
Pratt's name, demanding loosely to be
presented to her, regardless of the well
known law that a lady must first ex
press some wish In such matters—these
were Indications of a coarse nature
sure to be more than uncongenial to
Miss Pratt Both William and Joe
Bullitt began to wonder why on earth
Johnnie Watson didn't have any more
sense than to Invite such a big, fat
lummox of p cousin to the party.
This severe phrase of theirs, almost
simultaneous In the two minds, was
not wholly a failure as a thumbnail
! sketch of Mr. George Crooper. And
yet there was the lmpress!veness of
size about him, especially about his
legs and chin.
At seventeen and eighteen growth la
still going on, sometimes In a sporadic
way, several parts seeming to have
sprouted faster than others. Voices,
too, often seem misplaced. One hears
outside the door the bass rumble of a
sinister giant, and a mild boy, thin as
a cricket, walks in. The contrary was
George Crooper's case. His voice was
an unexpected piping tenor, half fal
setto and frequently girlish, as sur
prising as the absurd voice of an ele
phant
His chin bad so distanced his other
features that bis eyes, nose and brow
j seemed almost babylike in comparison,
i while Ills mountainous legs were the
I great part of the rest of bim. He was
j one of those huge, buttle shaped boys
I who are always in motion in spite of
I their enmbersomenosa
I "When do 1 get to meet that cutle?"
I he insisted to Johnnie. "You intra
dooced me to about seven I can't do
much for, but I want to get the howdy
"Flopit look so 'ittle on dray, big, 'nor
mous man's lap.''
business over with this Miss Pratt, so
I and she can get things started. I'm
goln' to keep her busy all day."
"Well, don't be in such a hurry,"
said Johnnie uneasily. "You can meet
her when we get out in the country.
If I get a chance, George."
"No, sir!" George protested Jovially.
"I guess you're sad birds over in this
town, but look out! When I hit a town
it don't take long till they all hear
there's something doin'! You know
how I am when 1 get started, John
nie!" Here he turned upon William,
tucking his fat arm affectionately
through William's thin one. "HI, sport!
Ole Johnnie's so slow, you toddle me
over airtl get me fixed up with this
Miss Pratt, and I'll tell her you're the
real stuff—after we get engaged!"
He was evidently a true cloud com
pelter, this horrible George.
"Car's coming!" sounded. The young
people poured out through the gate
and, as the car stopped, scrambled
aboard. William s!ruggl.d anxiously
to push through to Miss Pratt and
climb up beside her. tint Mr. Georga
Crooper made bis way into the crowd
in a beaming though lmll-like manner,
and a fat back in a purple and white
"blazer" Battened William's nose, while
ponderous heels damaged William's
toes. He was shoved back and Just
managed to clamber upon the foot
board as the car started.
The friendly hand of Joe Bullitt
pulled liim to a scat, and William found
himself rubbing his nose and sitting
between Joe and Johnnie Watson, di
rectly behind the dashing Crooper and
Miss Pratt Mr. Crooper had already
taken Flopit upon his lap.
"Dogs are always crazy 'bout me,"
they heard him say In his high voice—
"dogs and chuldren. I dunno why it
Is, but they always take to me. My
name's George Crooper, 3d, Johnnie
Watson's cousin. He was tryln' to in
tradooce me before the car came along,
but he never got the chance. I guess
as this shindig's for you, and I'm the
only other guest from out o' town,
we'll have to Intradooce ourselves, the
two guests of honor, as It were."
Miss Pratt laughed her silvery laugh,
murmured politely and turned no freez
ing glance upon her neighbor. "Flopit
look so toot an' tunnln'," she was
heard to remark. "Flopit look so 'ittle
on dray, big, 'normous man's lap."
Mr. Crooper laughed deprecatlngly.
"He does look kind of small compared
with the good ole man that's got charge
of him now. Well, 1 Always wa* a food
deal bigger than the fellas T went
with. I dunno why It Is, but I was al
ways kind of quicker, too, as It were,
and the strongest In any crowd I ever
got wfth. I'm kind of muscle bound, I
guess, but I don't let tbat Interfere
with my (juickuess any. Take me In
an automobile, now—I got a racln' car
at home—and I keep my head better
than most people do, as It were. I can
kind of handle myself better. I dunno
why it Is.
"My brains seem to work better than
other people's; that's all It is. I don't
mean that I got more sense or any
thing like that. It's just the way my
brains work. They kind of put me at
an advantage, as It were.
"Well, f'r Instance, if I'd been llrln'
here In this town and Joined In with
the crowd to get up this party—well,
it would of been dune a good deal
diff'rent. 1 won't suy better, but
dlff'rent. That's always the way with
me—If I go Into anything, pretty soon
I'm running the whole shebang. I dun
no why it is. The other people might
try to run it their way for awhile, but
pretty soon you notice 'em step out of
the way for good ole George. I dunno
whv it la..
