“That’s a great trick to pull off,” he stormed. “Tell her that I couldn’t come, you big crook.” “Well, dearie, what are you going to do about it,” taunted Bill as he released Jack and started to take off his coat. “Just wait and see”, retorted the other boy as he seated himself and went to studying again. Late in the next afternoon, as soon as school was over for the day, Jack hurried towards Nellie’s home but as he approached he saw Bill and the object of his affections sitting on the front porch. He went to his room and impatiently waited for Bill to come home, and when he appeared, Jack hastened to see Nellie. She answered the knock herself and Jack’s heart dropped to his shoes when she greeted him with a frigid “How do you do, Mr. Turner,” so unlike the “Hello Jack” of the day before. “I-er c-came to explain to you, Nellie,” stammered Jack. “Bill c-came and told you a lie about my- my not coming. I was here just after you —” “No, you needn’t mind explaining, sir,” Nellie cut him off. “I will have absolutely nothing to do with anybody that will say such mean things as I have been told you said about me. Now will you kindly go?” “B-but Nellie,—” but she was gone. Jack walked sorrowfully toward his home and as he turned a corner, he almost ran into Nellie’s little brother, Bob, who was carrying a load of groceries. “Hello, Jack,” said the boy gleefully. “Hello, Bobbie, ’’replied Jack. “You’re just the fellow I want to see,” continued Bob. “I have got sumpin’ to tell you. You know I was playin’ mumble-the-peg with Jay Simonds last night right in front of the porch,” he went on, “and Bill Rawley and Nellie was sittin' on the porch together talkin’. We heard every word they said. Bill told her that you said she was a two faced little flirt to run off with Bill, that way, and that you said you were d. ne with her.” “Did he?” commenced Jack angrily, but he checked himself. “Then Nellie said, ‘I don’t believe Jack would say that, Mr. Rawley,’ and Bill says, I)o you think I would tell you a lie?’ Nellie said she didn't know. Bill said more too,” continued Bobbie. “He says to Nellie, ‘He was awful sore because you went with me.’ ‘Jack never acted that way before’ Nellie says, but Bill kept on. ‘Well, he said that you were a stuck up little cat and that the only thing you had to be stuck up over was your drug store beauty.’ That seemed to make Nellie awful sore and she says ‘Did he say that?’ ‘He sure did,’ Bill says. ‘Well who would ever think that of Jack.’ Nellie was awful mad and she's been ravin’ at you ever since.” “The dirty sneak,” commented Jack. “Say Bobbie, Pagf Ehorn

don’t you tell anybody else what you heard, will you? We’ll fix Mr. Bill.” “Naw, I’ll keep shut,” answered Bobbie firmly. “Well, so long, Bobbie” said Jack, and soon he was on his way to his chum, George Wilcomb. He sawt George on the front porch and as soon as he had told him of Bill’s trick and its result, told him of his plan to get even with his rival. “I think we had better call the club together” said George, when Jack had finished outlining his plan. “They might be able to (help us out a whole lot.” The club to which George referred was the J. O. K., composed of eight of the High School boys. George was president and Jack was its most popular member. “Say, I didn’t .think of that!” exclaimed Jack. “Let’s call ’em together tonight.” “Where you been again, little boy?” inquired Bill jokingly, as Jack came in. “Did she throw you over?” “You shut up,” growled Jack as he picked up a book. “I got to go to a club meeting tonight and I want to study.” “Why, I don’t see how you can study w’hen you have been disappointed in —”. His words were suddenly and rudely interrupted by a Webster’s Unabridged dictionary, propelled by the arm of Jack, which caught him squarely in the mouth. “You little imp,” he roared. “I’ll -”, but his words fell on empty air, for Jack had seized his books and was gone to the library to finish his studying in peace. At eight o’clock that evening the J. 0. K. club solemnly assembled in George Wilcomb’s room. “Everybody here?” inquired George. “Jack isn’t here yet,” replied one of the boys. “He is too,” answered Jack himself opening the door. “Bill wouldn’t let me study up in the room so I went down to the library and I just got thru about five minutes ago. That Tacitus fellow must have laid awake until midnight every night figuring out the nardest construction for us to puzzle over.” “Aw, never mind about Tacitus; we must get down to business. We have a great deal to attend to tonight,” commanded the president. “Has any one here any suggestion to make in regard to a plan for evening up on Bill Rawley. Have you all heard about the dirty trick he played on Jack here?” “No,” answered the other six members in unison. “Well then, in order that you may become acquainted with the seriousness of the crime, and inflict a suitable penalty, I will proceed to enlighten you” replied the president. “I think I have about as good a plan as any,” announced Jimmy Murray indignantly when George had finished. “I think we should kidnap him, take him Poilr Thirteen
