28 NORMAL OFFERING Biittlv .7-Xnininv zmh than ililag. ITTLE Antoine, as one might easily guess from his with' name, was a French boy. Little, he was indeed, .ip . , A and he was a hunch-back. His delicate, clear-cut face, his 'expressive dark eyes, and his long, soft, if dark hair immediately attracted one's attention. His iw - beautiful face, made for smiles and joy, was however, usually serious and at times even sad. Occasionally, his Wonderful smile would transfigure it, and at those times one would catch one's breath in wonder, for it seemed that Little Antoine was seeing beyond this world to his heavenly home. In the little town of St. Quentin, twenty miles north of the Alsace bound- ary line, was a small white school-house, attended by pupils of all ages, and presided over by a stern-faced master. On long, hard-wood benches, ranged about the room, sat the boys and girls. ln one corner, alone, his feet dangling wearily from the high bench, sat our Little Antoine. A well- worn copy of the history of France was open before him. The earnest- ness of his face showed how dear to him was the story of his beloved France. A sharp rap on the teacher's desk silenced the drowsy hum of the room, and instantly all were keen with attention. With a word the master dis- missed the pupils for recess. Little Antoine's face quivered with quick disappointment, for he knew that the torment in store for him was about to begin. Obediently, as always, he passed out with the others, and tried bravely to smile at the cruel taunts and jeers which arose on all sides as he walked. Those boys who were strong and sturdy seemed, with few exceptions, to take particular delight in tormenting the poor little hunch-back because he was unlike them. They even j ostled him roughly, often cruelly hurting the sensitive child, so that they might see the quick tears fill his dark eyes. There were a few, however, who championed his cause staunchly. Whenever possible, Little Antoine remained quietly in his place or slipped out unseen to read his beloved books, for he was passionately fond studying, and was the quickest, most eflicient pupil the master had. With this passion for learning, he had developed a deep love for his country, and he hoped that some day he might perform some heroic deed
