WAS HE PUNISHED?
"Once again my orders have been disobeyed," said the master of a certain public school, sternly. "Who is the miscreant?"
Not a soul answered, and a tragic silence, prevailed.
"This matter shall be settled ohoe and for all," he went on, in the same icy manner, "and if none will tell, every boy in the class shall be thrashed." Each boy, therefore, was duly thrashed, but not one of them would! breathe the culprit's name, until, suddenly, as the last boy was about to receive his share of punishment, the cane was withheld. r Fixing a keen look on the lad, the master said: '^Now, if you tell me who did this action; I will not punish you." "All right, sir; I did it!" came'the hesitating reply.
