This was an experience young Garfield now went through: / ‘From one school board to another he tramped, covering many miles of dusty °% @¥ roads, showing his credentials to people of influence, trying im every/way to. ¢ land the needful position. And no one wanted his services. \|f "At last he spent a whole day on the foot-journey to a town where, he haa heard, a school teacher was neeied. He got there to Hind thé job taken, and he had his dreary trip for nothing. Homeward he plodded, utterly dts- couraged. As he entered the cottage room where his mother awaited him 3¢ his patience gave out.

For at that moment sty,igt” Garfield's luck changed and he began to make good. avai ‘The same evening he received an offer, as school teacher, at much higher "4." salary than had gone with any of the teaching jobs which had rejected him.

The next timp I walk abroad with you I will put my head in @ sack to hide my fatal beauty.” “It isn't that,” whimpered Mra, Jarr, “but you never seem to care if any masher does try to flirt with me!

Mrs. Jarr dabbed at her eyes with a miniature handkerchief, registering grief and suffering. “I'm sure I have too much respect for myself to notice your flirting with other women, and I ecorm to notice it,” she said, The Village of East Lynne, four miles from Paradise, was burning and had called for assistance. Within twenty-five minutés two Fords were hitched ahead of the pret- tlest hand-drawn truck ever builf, with the officefs in the flivvers and the members perched on the apparatus, and Chief Snow leading the way in his highboy, which can negotiate the steepest grade on “high”—if given time—leading the way. ‘When Gus, the popular Harbor Master, and Doo grrived at the fire house the Wide"Awakes and Pio- neers both had “rolled,” so they com- mandeered Bill Baldwin's Ford- Royce and started in pursuit. Doc, who was Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements for tle Angual Fire, Tournament, had been awakened from @ sound sleep. He had been dreaming of the annual parade with the Wide Awakes, the acknowledged chgmplons, at the head of the line, right behind the Sheriffs reserves, Half asleep, half awake, he haa’ put on his red shirt and plug hat. Gus, who was the proud owner of the only fire helmet in that section, had put on the historic relic and had bis deputy sheriff's badge, pinned on his left breadt, : Doo and Gus arrived at the scene of ‘the fire a few minutes after the ‘Wide Awakes and Pioneers had gone into actiop, ‘The One-Price Clothing Store was giving @ good imitation of @ surburban home fireplace by sending up huge volumes of ,black smoke, while @ garage in the rear was furnishing the illyminations, Two men of the East Lynne Fire Company were on the roof of the SS SSS Jarr, ¥’There'’s no harm In the young tellow bowing to you.” ¢ “But you might. be a little bit jeal- ous," said Mrs, Jarr, “It shows we gfill are'in love as long as we are jealous.” So Mr, Jarr took the hint and it nearly got him three fights before they got home, because, as he de- clared, Ahrée inoffensive men stared Doldly at Mrs. Jarr, Mrs, Jarr was terrified, but went home happy that there was still romance left in mar- ried life, And she twitted her best friend, Clara Mudridge-Smith, because the latter’s husband was old and phieg- matic and pad told his wife that if she didn’t dress so's to attract atten- (ion she wouldn't attract it, Tom’ explosion here?” demanded the Chief. “Boys, get the axes!” Gus and Doo from the opposite Side of the street decided that the situation was safe, and began tb look around for some place that helt the Anti-Salopn League in defiance.
