A little smile of confidence Appeared on Louie’s face. As calmly he his paper took And stalked back to his place. All eyes were on him as he turned And dropped into his seat. All hearts beat fast as Louie looked Upon that fatal sheet. 24 The smile of confidence had gone. A haughty look was there. As though he doubted not his mark. Rut oh. the deep despair! This look was gone from Louie’s face. A paleness had spread o’er. Despair and ruin took their place. His paper was marked four! DI NTOX. 21.
