Miss | Lucy stayed with her one afternoon in the close room—and the next day Class A was in the hands of a substi- tuté. Miss Lucy, though grieving that since she had to catch something, it was not some interestingly pedagogi- eal disease like brain fag @r nervous prostration, consoled herseif with the reflection that it might have been the mumps, and so settled down to her enforced holiday with resignation. Not so, however, was the spirit of Class A. The substitute was of the rank of teachers whose pride is that they are disciplinarians, and, besides, never having had the baby cls did not understand all those little vag- aries that are but evidences of the struggling intellect. No one was al- lowed to stay in after school to give careful assistance; boards were un- cleaned, pencils unsharpened, and the “geeranum"—cherished nature study blossom of the whole class—-faded neg leetedly away, For an innocent witti {cism Bum O'Reilly was sent to the principal, charged with the sin of im pertinence; Sophie Bauerschmidt was | kept in every day for talking; Anna Karenina had been hooking every af | ternoon; and as for Frederick Wiliam, | | he hated the substitute with a hatred unusual to his peaceful little nature— | this hatred being engendered upon the occasion when he was ¢ ht nibbling ; at a luscious bun.

The three, Anna, Sophie and | Bum, were sitting on the curb stone in | front of the school, where they had | met to discuss the disappearance of | Miss Lucy. | In spite of these convincing details, | the other two were doubting. “May- ;be her and her beau is going to git | married,” suggested Sophie, “and may- | be then she won’t be a teacher no more,” | “No,” said Bum thoughtfully; “when | you git married you don't do nothin’ | | but jest tend babies and live off yer | man—unless,” he added, with a bitter | | experience, “he’s a guzzler and you | | Bot to take in washin’.” Having thus |epitomized the chief pleasures and | trials of matrimony in general, Bum |fell to considering the case of Miss | Lucy. He remembered the prophe of his mother that Miss Lucy was not long for Class A, but-he also remem- | bered the teacher's fervent.avowal of | faithfulness. It might not be too late | to dissuade her. As the result of much | discussion in this direction, a letter | was laboriously written upon a piece of brown paper. missis loosey [it went] ples do not git marrid we will lern awl the time the geranum is ded we will wash our ers This letter was placed in an envel- ope, addressed briefly to “missis | loosey,” and posted. | “She'll like the ears part,” explained j the tactful Bum hopefully. “She allus | Was fussin’ about yer ears.” | Having dispatched this diplomatic | plea, Class A waited in a suspense al | most unbearable by the substitute, and } when at the end of the week it was | apparent that their appeal had not moved Miss Lucy, a change of tactics | | was decided upon. | After much debate it was decided | that the principal was the object of Miss Lucy's affections. Undoubtedly it was the principal. But the only way | in which an interview with him might | be obtained was through unusual de. | pravity. Therefore it was agreed that | on the next afternoon each member of | the committee was to offend in such | dire manner that trial by the supreme power would be necessary. ‘ihis was an easy matter for Anna Karenina. When she appeared, for the first time in three days, the substitute asked her name and then consulted the roll book severely, “Where have you been?” she asked suspiciously. Anna regarded her silently. “Little girl, answer me,” repeated the substitute. “What have you been doing?” “Bie-faze,” remarked Anna briefly “whad you think?” and was immedi- ately appointed to be cast out, Equally fortunate was Bum, whose manner of offending was the sticking of a wet piece of putty down Fred- ertck William’s back; but it was not until school that Sophie, who had se cured only an ordinary “keep-in” for talking, lay down upon the floor and kicked her fat little legs violently, thereby accomplishing her ejectment, So it came about that when the dis. missal bell rang and the rest of Class A had departed, the three oftenders were arrayed in the hall and, guided by the stern finger of the substitute, | Norileet d Ream Phone 144 Taadaly Independent Grocery and Hardware Store, West Side 5 BUTLER, MO.

By the time Class A had gotten into its trap- \ pings and the three offenders had started up the hall, the meeting had | assembled and had settled down with unctuous dignity to the consideration | of the science of education. Upon this nugust body suddenly the door opened | and the principal saw the greasy face of Anna Karenina peering in. “You can't come in now,” he said abruptly, but with the enforced gentle- hess of one who speaks in the pres- ence of his supervisor, Then he walked down to the hesitating Anna. “Get out,” he said in subdued but forcible tones, “Get out.” The trio wavered at this command, but just then one of the critic teach ers, spying an opportunity of display: | ing her admirable manner in dealing with children, smiled gaily at Sophie and waved her hand encouragingly. What is it, dear?” she queried. Thus encouraged, the children ad- vanced into the room, where they stood, a ragged and dirty but daunt- less three, Sophie was always quick to respond to any pleasantness, He's going to git married,” she an- nounced conversationally, pointing to the principal, who turned pale. A frivolous member giggled. This an- nouncement of the notoriously elusive principal's intentions was amusing. It's Miz Luzy,” said Anna, “und we god bie-face subsdude.” ‘ Rut we thought maybe he'd git me one else,” Bum suggested, art- fully. “We want Miss Lucy, and she's ot red hair, anyhow, and we thought maybe he'd change.” Maybe you could git him,” said the match-making Sophie, with a sidle toward her friend, the critic teacher: The critic teacher's lack of aversion to matrimony was proverbial, and at this suggestion the principal, with a baleful light in his eye, bore down upon the three, and, in spite of their appealing glances toward the ungrate. ful critic teacher, they were somehow got rid of. When they reached the street bitter despair at their third fu- tile attempt once more settled upon them. In the exuberance of his grief Pum threw his remaining tintags into the gutter, and Anna relieved herself by slapping Sophie's face vigorously and pulling her hair; whereupon Sophie wept saltily upon her useless pretzel. There was only one course left—di- rect appeal. The next afternoon the self-appointed committee started out upon a search for Miss Lucy. Dur- ing the afternoon the object of the ex: pedition got noised about, and when the committee started it found itself increased by a good half-dozen, It was a queer-looking little company that started out upon the search, for it was upon the raggedest and the Molly Munsing's “Little Brudders” in the Munsing: wear Naming Contest contest is offered. tails, and you'll soon see that BUTLER, Tulsa, Ok., Oct. 31.—Mrs. Cald- well C.

Mrs. Curtain, who was Miss Cleo Davis, a pretty Joplin, Mo., girl, first met Curtain, who is the son of an architect, at the race track yesterday afternoon, and after an acquaintance of four hours, Curtain propesed mar- riage and the girl accepted. They were married at midnight by the Reverend C. W. Kerr, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. To- day the girl was despondent and the attempt at suicide followed. that the iron hand of the substitute seemed to have fallen most heavily, The faith of this little regiment in the finding and ultimate redemption of Miss Lucy was strong, but the way was devious and the legs of Sophie and of Frederick William were short and fat. Then Anna Karenina, the only one one who knew the way, was lured a little aside by the dis- ‘ant gong of a fire engine and’ made began to rain, a cold drizzle.
