E. TODD, x Stop!! WOODS doctor had ordered him to go West. He had compromised on the mountain village, whose keen, dry air rivaled that of Arizona. The school consisted of boys and girls of all ages, from Jim Smith, a | husky youth of some twenty years, who was still struggling over the mys- teries of long division, and Miss Susie Connor, a farmer's daughter, who at- tended principally to be a sort of ma- tron to the little ones, down to the staid little ones of seven and eight years. But Pendleton soon perceived that Smith, and not he, was the leader of the assemblage. When he gave the signal, they followed him. For the first day curiosity ment in check. i It was after school on that day that Smith came insolently up to Pendle-; ton. | “Say, you're the one-lunger, aln'tl you?” he asked. “We don't want to ] Next Moment He Found Himself Lying on the Floor, be hard on a feller what's only got one lung. So I'm going to make things | easy for you, If you act right. Under- | stand ?” ] Before Pendleton had recovered | from his surprise, Smith had slouched away, leaving the young man gasping at his pupil’s audacity. “No corp'ral punishment,” was the | slogan in Four Corners, which prided | itself on being an enlightened com- ! munity. But, even if such a method of discipline had been permitted, how | would it have been enforced? The question was prompted by the pandemonium that followed upon Mr. Pendleton’s resolute rejection of Jim | Smith’s proposition. Everybody in'! Four Corners knew that the mnew schoolmaster would soon go the way | of his predecessors. The school board, who secretly disapproved of educa- tion, watched matters with smug smiles. Smith lounged insolently in his seat; Smith talked with his neigh- bors and contemptuously refused to recite his lessons. t “I told yer what it would be if you | didn’t do as I sald,” he explained to | Mr. Pendleton, when the schoolmaster f remonstrated with him privately. “Get out of the school? Say, yer crazy. What'd I get out for when I'my | having the time of my life here?” | There was one thing that kept the schoolmaster to his work. That was Susie Connor. She had told him it was a shame the boys did not behave better. She had counseled an ap- 'pem to the board. A strong attach- ment had begun to dawn between the young man and the pretty country lass. “If T were you, Horace,” she said | one day—they had begua unconscious- | Iy to call each other by their first | names—"“I would try to make a real schoo! here. There are men in the community who would stand by you l Susie.” | Mr. Pendleton had been aware that kept the bad elo-; i It did not take more than one blow | hoase fixed.

It sald: “Are you man enough to prevent my being insulted and to stand up for me?”" “Mean that, Smith?” asked Mr. Pen- dleton, leaving his desk and crossing the floor. Smith leaped at him with a bellow. “Ah, sure!” he mimicked. “You've had your day, Mr. Schoolmaster, and now you can git, because this school won't open any more 8o long as you're in this town, you snivelling hound.” “Smith,” sald Horace Pendleton, : “you are a bad boy and you have the mekings of a bad man in you.
