SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1936.* THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Carol Torrance has decided to teach in the Ashboro high school in order to get away from her home town of Meredith, Ga., and to make a start to some sort of a career. And although she is warned by the spiteful interest of a gossipy old neighbor in the golf game she played Sunday, she is determined to try to treat her acholars as intelligent boys and girls, She has won one class and observed therein the handsomest boy she ever has seen. Now she has @ French class. “I'll be glad to do it if it’s neces: sary. But I don’t see why it should be. Now that you've decided on it, haven’t you got—” he would have said “guts,” and so would she, if he hadn’t been looking at her like that and if he hadn’t been a pupil—“will power enough to stay with it?” “I would if they were all like you, but you’re the only teacher I ever saw that I respected. They make me sick as hell—” He caught him- self and flushed crimson. “Excuse me, Miss Torrance; that’s from be- ing a bum.” Chapter Eight MAGNIFICENT YOUTH ‘AROL’S next class was second- She laughed. “Oh, I’ve heard of it gee French; also made up ( before.” And used it, she thought, seniors.

Hor third period was vacant, she began to post names alphabeti- cally in her roll book. Someone en- tered the room, and she glanced up to find the magnificent youth tower- ing above her. She smiled at him. “How do you do?” “Morning.” He hesitated. “Can I talk to you a while?” “Of course. Sit down.” She mo- tioned to the first desk and he crowded into it, filling it completely. He was more than six feet tall, and he must weigh a hundred and eighty, she thought—most of it above the waist. His eyes were a brilliant blue and his features might have been by Praxiteles. He moved and spoke with a drawl, and she guessed that his brain drawled too. She was consumed with curios. ity about him. “My name’s Mike Hannigan,” he said. “I wanta tell you about me and get you to help me.” Who wouldn't help him! she thought, and kept her face serious as she said: “That's quite a compli- ment. Of courss I'll help you.” “I been out of school four years,” he went on in the same deliberate voice, as if he tested every word before he said it. “I got expelled when I was sixteen—a week before school closed. I studied this summer and took examinations to get back in.” She wondered why he was ex- pelled, and didn’t ask. Instead she said: “What did you do ia those four years?” “Travelled around on ships.” His voice was entirely casual. After four years of it there was nothing ro- mantic about travelling around on ships. “I ran away and got a job on a coastwise freight boat. Since then I been about everywhere in the world.” He said it simply, with no hint of boasting. Carol felt suddenly small and un- important in the face of his com- plete simplicity. “What made you come back?” “I wasn’t getting anywhere.” No- where, she thought, except all over the world! “My father works in a cotton mill, and he's had a terrible time till right now. I didn’t want te be like him, and I didn’t want to be a tramp sgaman all my life. And you have to have education if you want to be somebody, so I came back to*finish high school and go to college. I can get tc college on football,” he explained. “I’ve al. ready got an offer.” | { ‘HE week wore on. Classes stopped being entities and be- came groups of individuals; some intelligent, some average, a few hopelessly dulli—dwellers in Mo- ronia. For the'most part her work ran smoothly. Later, she knew, the nov- elty of her presence and her method would wear off and rebellion would probably lift its head. But there was ‘no use in anticipating the struggle. Even her qualms about the foot- ball squad had not thus far mate- rialized. To her astonishment the gorilla proved to have exquisite manners, that sat upon him as oddly as a curled and scented wig. She wondered at the deference of these incongruous beings who were nei- ther men nor children, and stumbled quite by accident on one explana- tion. Mike, she heard by grapevine route, had announced in vivid and salty language what he would do to the first so-and-so who started anything in her classes or out. Mike himself dropped in almost daily, and greeted her with a warm Irish grin that disconcerted her more than she cared to admit. “How’m I doin’?” “Beautifully, and you know it.” The astonishing part was that it was true. He stalked learning slow- ly and inexorably; sank his teeth into it and held on grimly. Probably his interest would wane, but now he was travelling a route he had never travelled before, and finding the voyage good. Only one thing worried her; that the girls had Siscovered him, They fluttered over him, and borrowed his pencils, and wanted to be shown where the lesson ended; anything would do as an excuse. Mike an- swered them patie -y, without even looking at them, entirely un- aware that the interruptions were pretexts, There were letters during the week from Milly and Jill and Pat; and one stilted, yearning note from Don, who was incapable of putting himself on paper. Reading a letter from Don made him more unreal and distant than ever. Milly’s letter was a sort of daily Paper. So-and-so was in Atlanta; she had played bridge with so-and- so, and held terrible hands. Carol's room was rented to a Miss Andrews, who taught fifth grade. ... Jill was entirely matter-of-fact. The Andrews gal wasn’t bad, and nine times twenty was a hundred and eighty, which would go into the summer hell-raisin’ fund. Don Rich- ards'had drifted in Sunday night, and the four of them had sat on the terrace and counted fourteen shooting stars... . | Pat’s Iétter was equally charac- teristic. Don Richards had returned on Sunday like a ghost to the scene of its demise. Business was looking | up. He was trying to keep his word about the writing. “I’m doing a series of sketches about local char- acters and folklore: not good yet, of course, but good practice. If I get any amount of stuff done I may send it down for you tv pass on.” She wrote Jiil and Milly a joint letter, but Pat deserved a separate one, she felt, for the effort he was making. “Send the sketches to me anyhow,” she ordered, “and if any of them have possibilities I'll act as agent until I can talk a real one into taking you on.” She knew from other days that Pat. wasn’t equal to the soul-searing experience of see. ing his manuscripts come back. And suddenly it was Friday, and one of the thirty-six weeks had slid, HE laughed in relief. “That's the first time I ever thought much of the system. Now where do I come in?” “When you been knocking around for four years it’s kinda hard to settle down in any high school. I may start off fine, and then get to slipping, and I want you to sort of check up on me. I'll study for you— I'd do anything for you,” her own quick pleasure startled her—“but I may get rough with some of the other teachers before I think. If I do get rough, you call me in and re- mind me about all this.
