X THE LIGHTS THAT FAILED RUTH ALICE ROBINSQN ,seem QR 5 T. CLAIR was commonly known as 'the snob. A few f l cadets, seized with a desire to be original, called him a IMS' ENWS dub, and others, after making sure that they gave the a 'W' the proper English baa spoke of him as 'the cad. C3 Q NNN Oakly Military Academy was pretty well shaken down into y X routine at the end of the first month of the fall semester, I and St. Clair had had plenty of time to show himself up in ,yi - an his true light. He had entered the second class by special examination, and had seemed at first a pretty good fellow. But as one petty prejudice after another sprang up against him, and asthis snobbishness, due to his father's great wealth, developed, the reaction against him set in, and he was ostracized completely, save from thecompanionship of three. Two of them, who were his equals in family and wealth and his superiors in everything else, tolerated him in a bored kind of way, and knocked him with the other cadets in his absence. The third was the young officer in charge of his section, Brownly by name, and by reputation the most systematically hated personage in the entire institution. By reason of the good effects of his hateful system of espionage, which effectually checked all mischief ere any rumor reached headquarters, he stood in high favor with his superiors as an officer competent to keep his section in good order. As far as was compatible with his tlrlank, ge made St. Clair his boon companion, incidentally bringing more dislike a amst e ca et. g Things were in just this shape, with Brownly and St. Clair hand in glove against the majority of the second class, when Boyd arrived. He was the most po ular fellow in his class, and when his friends learned that the crisis in his father's illness Iliad passed, and tlllaltlhe was to returlrc immediately they hastened to find the time of his arrival, and ave an ovation at t e tram. 8 A few days after his arrival Boyd strolled, during recreation time, down to the edge of the pier. He had noticed the general aversion to St. Clair and honestly pitied him. I-Ialf the class was collected on the pier and float, swapping the summer's experiences, and planning various amusements to come. Near the edge of one of the groups, but entirely apart from it in spirit, stood St. Clairg and Boyd, approaching him for the first time, and following his glance out toward the wind-rufiled lake, remarked, Fine weather for sailing, isn't it? St. Clair turned, and let his eyes follow every detail of his uniform up, from sleeve to collar, from his collar to his chin, as if, said Jones afterward, he'd never ov Q 'ml '- 1, 0 ,J?gz.m 'fl Qin' 5 if- I-,if it ' PZ 2425 X .
