The mild swearing bee the night before. The few bitter tears. The carly prod of mother and the order to get up in a hurry. The sleepy arising and the cold floor. The half-eaten breakfast. The too- old trick of playing sick. The slow and funeral plod to the schoolhouse. The suggestion of one of the gang that perhaps the school burned down during the night. The disap- pointingly firm hrick walls showing | that it didn't. The new teacher with her frown. “Wish I had Miss Brown ’stead o her.” The pretty girl with the curls in front of you.

From early morning until nightfall every street will look like four seconds before the third alarm. The man of the house rakes the leaves into small piles and sets fire to each one, screening his eyes from the smarting smoke as the wind merrily takes the burning em- bers through the windows of the fourth house down the street. It is reported that one house actually burned down in mid-day without the occupants noticing any change in the atmosphere. Fall makes fire eaters of us all. “all brings hunting to the sports- men.
