They were only a launching point for his dreams out the classroom window. If he could discover a country, or explore or capture kidnapers like he read about In the paper or bandits! Suppose a bandit should walk into the school room, he dreamed, just suppose! With his mask and gun and rough voice and sharp orders, and he, Johnny, should rise and and maybe get shot, but save her? He ended the scene each time with Mrs. Morner's grateful tears as she bent over his hospital bed. That would be it. That would be something. It wouldn't be making a fool of himself like some of the other kids did, by bringing her an apple in the morning, or a flower from his mother's garden or offering to clean the boards. It would have to be something bigger than that, something no one else could Girl Desqn .J?.... ed HUNTER He had placed his teacher up on a pedestal because she was "different" than all her predecessors. All his dreams for the future were crushed however, when she proved that she was just JOHNNY Old-Faskion- love ties to his mother had been broken off one by one by her attention to her flower garden, and by his own speech impediment. They'd hung dangling and loose about him, waiting for some other object to come along and attract them. And Mrs. Morner had diawn Johnny's loose ends, like steel cables to an electro-magneHe had to know how she felt. But he couldn't ask. He could feel that lump in his throat, and the steady pressure in his stomach. He heard the rumble of departing children die lower in the outer hall, and he thought that pressure had burst in him when three laughing girls ran into the room. She laid her papers aside to smile at their giggling, excited chatter. Maybe he had been wrong, he hoped. Maybe she didn't think he was bad. But he felt the depression of the distance separating him "from them. He was not one of them until he heard their talk. About flowers! He knew about flowers, too! His mother's flower beds her constant talk about them. Sure he did. And that was the price of admission up abse- nt-minded t! "Punishment, not reward! Punishment, not reward! Punishment, not reward!" The words settled from bright lightning flashes to a dull rumbling like thunder rolling about his ears. He knew even before their meaning came clear to him through the shock. He had failed! Even the girls felt it, and excused themselves quietly, leaving the room so- he didn't hear. He could feel himself preparing to stare at her in stoney silence. But he was bad. And he was wrong. He didn't need any defense now. Those love ties were broken all at once now; but they weren't hanging loose and dangling, waiting for some other object to come along and attract them. A bitter acid was loose in him, burning them off at the roots. The only thing tight in him now was a new fearsome thing. There was a faint stir of his old, dying feelings. How could he tell her how he felt about her? He wondered how she'd feel if he could let her know really know how he really felt about her now? He al most smiled, but he caught himself.
