The farmer looked at the slim, be- spectacled young man in front of him and gave a contemptuous grunt. “So you're the new schoolmaster of Four Corners!” he said, ejecting & | quid of tobacco from his mouth. “Yes, I guess I can board you. I boarded the last three schoolmasters. 18 $20 a month, payable in. advance.” “Why in advance?” inquired Mr. Pendleton quietly. “Because you won't last a month,” answered Silas Prettyman. ‘“None of ‘em does. Take the last schoolmaster, now. He was a six-footer. Looked like a bull. he didn't last more'n six weeks. The one before him gave up after two. The one before him lasted three. Three is about the limit and two is the average. You see, Mr. Pendle bury—" “Pendleton, please,” interposed the schoolmaster. “Pendleton, then. As I was saying, three weeks is the limit. We have some tough scholars in Four Corners.” In spite of his anticipations, Mr. Pendleton’s heart sank as he took his place at the desk and saw a score of boys and girls shuffle in with broad grins upon their faces. Four Corners was ‘a little mountain town in Ken- tucky. It was not the place Horace Pendleton would have chosen for making his pedagogic debut, but for the fact that the young man’s lungs had been giving him trouble, and the 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 scon perceived that Smith, and not he, was the leader of the assemblage. When he gave the signal, they followed him. first day curiosity kept the bad ele- ment In check. It was after school on that day that Smith came insolently up to Pendle- ton. “Say, you're the one-lunger, ain’t you?”" he asked. “We don't want to My terms Plenty of nerve, too. But ' For the . school. And you could do so mucP." . “I would like nothing better,’ he answered. “I would like to cast my lot here and make a real educational | center of Four Corners. But if I took the law into my own hands aqd | thrashed Smith"—at which Susie’s ' eyes widened a little—"I should have to give up my position. And—I'm staying here for you, Susie.” | Before the day had elapsed every- i body knew that Pendleton and Susie | Connor were sweethearts. | Next day Smith cast aside all pre- _temse at discipline. His remarks— made in class—were brief and poim(.'d. | “You're sweet on her,” he said. in- 'dlcating the girl, whose face was man- tled with red. “She’s my gal, Mr. ' Schoolmaster—understand? ~ And ' 1 won't have any miserable, measly in- terloper coming here fooling round Susfe.” Mr. Pendleton had been aware that Smith had a calf-like attachment for | | the girl, but it had never occurred to |2 him to take him seriously. | He looked up hopelessly, and he saw a strange look in Susie’s eves. He | . could not help interpreting it aright. | It said: “Are you man enough t0 | prevent my being insulted and 10 ' 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 so long as you in this town, you snivelling houn« “Smith,” said Horace Pendlcton, “you are a bad boy and you have the makings of a bad man in you. Do you see that switch in the corner? Go and bring it to me.” The lout stared at him incredu- ously; then, with swinging arms, he ruched at him. Next moment he found himself lying on the floor, the blood issuing profusely from his nose, It did not take more than one blow to quiet the bully. He burst into a yell. “I'll tell the board on shrieked. “I'lIl—" “Smith,” said the schoolmaster, “did you hear what I said about that switch? Go and bring it to mo.” He yanked him from the floor and grasped him with one hand by the collar. And Smith crept to the core ner—then, with a wild yell threatene ing vengeance, he had burst out of the deor and was running in the direce tion of his home. “This will mean good-Ly, Susie,” said the young schoolmaster, after the wide-eyed, respectful class had been you,” he , dismissed. ' cheerfully. But when he reached his home Silas Prettyman was waiting for him with a hearty handclasp “I wouldn’t ha' believed it of vou,” he exclaimed. “Why, it's all over the town and everybody's saying as now we can begin to a real school, You—little——whippe wpper! Let me feel your Gosh almighty, where did you git that?” *Oh, T used to be lightweicht boxer at Yale,” answered the schoolimaste “Put how about the ~ poral punishment rule, Farmer?” Prettyman grinned. * ! ler.” he said, “the man wi ¢ house flixed. makes his own rules in general I want to put in the first bid for boa Ing you and Susie till you get your -five a month, it'll be-—and you neadn't pav in advance. : T guess you'll last now.” (Cepyrizhit, 1914, by W, Chapman.)

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 Corvers, which prided itself on being an enlightened come munity. But, even if such a method , of discipline had heen 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 new schoolmaster would soon go the ‘way of his predecessors. The schoo! hoard, 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 lescons. “T told yer what it would be if you | didn't do as I said,” he explained to Mr. Pendleton, when the schoolmaster @ remonstrated with him privately. ! “Get out of the school? Say, yer crazy. What'd T get out for when I'm | having the time of my life here?” ! There was one thing that kept the i 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- peal to the board.

DICTATES OF FASHION The majority of sleeves are long Full circular skirts are hinted at. Some of the new suits have coats with high necks. The smartest tunics reach almost to the skirt edge Straight band shapes are among the new collars Fancy filet material are the most fashionable veilings. Flounced skirts have their flounces rounded or pointed and bound with silk or braid. In some dresses the tunic and girdle are of Roman striped cloth and the ! rest of a plain color. ] S S A | Black Silks for Winter. 5 Such was the craze for taffeta last | ment TALEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA NEW STREET CCSTUME GARMENT HAS THE APPEARANCE OF A LONG COAT. — Not Suitable, Perhaps, for Al Cii- mates, It Is Undeniably Handsome and Has Been Given @ Warm Welcome.
