last seized the raccooD and put
and end to it, Ralph could not
but admire the decided way in
which he did it, calling to mind
Buds comment: "Ef Bull once
takes a holt, heaven and yarth
can't make him let 60"
But as they walked home,
Bud carrying the raccoon by

iapcIed that even red.eyed
Bull, walking uncomfortably
close to his heels, respected
him more since he climbed that
tree.
"Purty pearL kind of a mas

Bud after Ralph had gone to
bed "Guess you better be a
little easy on him. Hey"
But Bud deigned no reply.
Perhaps because he knew that
Ralph heard the conversation
through the thin partition.
Ralph woke delighted to find
1t raining. He did not want to
hunt or fish on Sunday, and
this steady rain would enable
hIm 10 make friends with Bud.

started, but alter breakfast he
began 10 tell stories. Out Of
all the books he had ever read
he told story after story. And
"old man Means, and "old Mss
Means" and Bud Means, and
Bill, Means, and Sis Means
listened with great eyes while
he told OF SinbadS adventures,
of the Old Man of the sea, oil
Captain Gulliver's experiences
In Llliput, and of Baron Munc-
hauSen's exploits.

The hungry minds Of these

new life that came 10 their i'm

there was but one book in the
Means library, and that, we'll
thumbed copy of Captain Ri
ley's Narrative, had long since
lost all freshness.
"I'll be dog.on'd," said Bill
emphatically, "ef hadn't ruth,

But the young Philistine kept
his own counsel. He listened

TIE H00sIER s0H00L-MASTER
By EDWARD KGaLEsTOS.

Why, the boys haYe driv Of
the last two, and licked the one
afore them like blazes. You
might teach a summer schooI
when nothin' but children
come. But l low it takes q
right smart man to be school
master in Flat Crick in the
winter. They'd pitch you Out
Of doors, sonny, neck and heels
afore Christmas
The young man, who had
walked ten miles to get the
school in this district, and who
had been mentally reviewing
his learning at every step he
took, trembling lest the COM
mittee should find that he did
not know enough, was not a
little taken aback at this greet
ing from "old Jack Means"
who was the first trustee that
he lighted on. The impression
made by these ominous. re-
marks was emphasized by
the glances which he received
from Jack Means two sons
The older one eyed him from
the top of his brawny Shoul-
ders with that amiable look
which a big dog turns on a lit
tie one before shaking him.
Ralph HarStook had never
thought of being measured by
the standard OF muscle. This
notion of beating education
into young savages in spite OF
themselves, dashed his ardor
He had walked rIghtto where
Jack Means was at work shaw.
ing shingles in his own front
yard. While Mr.. Means was
making the speech which we
have set down above, and
punotuating it with expeetora-
tions, large brindle BULLDOG
had been shifting at Ralph'G
heels, and a girl in a new lin
Sey woolSey dress, standing by
the door, had nearly giggled
her head off at the delightful
prospect of seeing a new
school teacher eaten up by the
ferocious brute.
Between the disheartsning
words of the old man, the i'm
mense muscles OF the young
man who was to be his rebel
lious pupil, the jaws of The
ugly bull dog, and the heartless
giggle of the girl, Ralph had a
delightful sense Of having pre-
cipitated himself into q den OF
wild beasts, FAINT with veari
ness and Encouragement and
shivering with fear, he sat on a
wheelbarrow.
"You, Bull!' said the old m an
to the dog, which was showing
more and more a disposition to
make a meal of the incplent
pedagogue, "you, Bull! gitaout,
you pup!" The dog walked
snllenly off, but not until he
had given Ralph a look fill OF
promise of what he mean nt to
do when he got a good cl lance.
Ralph wished himself back in
the village of Lewis sburg,
whence he had come.
"You see," continued Mr.
Means, splitting if a medi ative
sort of way, "you see, W. f'n't
none Of your saft sort in these
diggins. 1t takes a man to
boss this deestrick. Howsum-
dever, Of you think you kin
