Miss Tucker with II sense of what she had
lost. | devoted myself during The earlier
part of the evening to u growing young wo.
man, of the name of Wagstaif, considerably
older than myself and running straight up
and down from whatever side one might
contemplate her.
| Her conversation was not entertaining,
unless from the Chinese point Of view, which.
understand, distinctly tavors monosylla-
bles, and she ggglcd at me so persisently
that feared Miss Tucker would think
must be making myself ridiculous but on
her being sent to the piano, stood and
| turned over her music with consciousness
that ii ever looked impressive it was then.
All this did in the effort 10 seem gay. al
though my heart was breaking. | had NO
no comfort on earth save the thought that |
had been brutal TO Briggs, and that he sat in
an obscure corner of the room among some
little girls in Long Division, hiding, behind
| an assistant teachers skirts, the Whitley
brown ino which my backing brush had re-
fused to refresh, while | born my grief upon
pair of new boots plenifully provided
with squeak -leaiher When Miss Tucker
slipped little piece Of paper into my hand,
as | made a hollow show of passing her the
sandwiches, came very near dropping the
plate; and when had chance to open it
unobserved, and read the words Are you
mad with me ?" l could not occupy my cold
and dreary pinnacle moment longer, but
eought an early opportunity Of squeezing
her ha.id tYo seats behind the voluinnous
asylum of Briggs tees, and whispering,
slightly confused by intensity Of feeling, that
il | had done anything was sorry for, was
willing to be forgiven. From that moment
| was Miss fuckers slave. Oh, woman,
woman. The string on which you play is
as long as life; it ties your baby-bib; it
aces your 4uoeply bodice; aud on its slen
derest tag we dangle eyerywilorl.
The next term at both Noodles and Bar
kers ran from May 10 October. The blessed
discovery Of long summer vacations had not
yet dawned upon the educational mind. Mr.
Barker or Miss Noodle would have regarded
such thing yesy much as kitchen-g garden
er would have received a proposition to give
holiday through the warm weather TO his
early caulifowers. What was the use of such
nice long days, except to get the whole of
the rule for cube root at one lesson As for
passing Saturday afternoon in bed, what
month could compete with July in its oppor-
tunitics of salatafy irritation? So all the
boys and girls Of my day, melted through
the dog-days into the moulds of classic co-
quence, discovered the value of . while their
own flesh took its place as an unknown
quantity solved the square of the hypothen-
use and the rotundity Of their own solids
with the same process, and exudcd on the
other side of tho French irregular verbs as
an insensible perspiration. When | think
what we endured, am all the more set in
my conviction of the hypocrisy of autobio-
graphies; for know that no man could ever
have struggled through to worldly eminence
in this day, who did not freely play hockey
in that; while distinguished piety would
be too much strain on any mature modern
constitution which in hoyhood had not re.
