Patty knew now the crisis had come.
The sooner il was over the better.

But the attention Of the school was
riyeled on Whapsy as he sprang toward

lit him q sharp cut with the rattan over

cd her hands before him in an attitude

lagonists were swaycd by fierce passion.
The hot blood Of uncontrolled boyh0od
opposed itself 70 a temper which years Of
indulgence bad rendered fearful. Whap-
Az was bat an euraged animal. lie threw
away bis little switch, and with double
fist OF iron, beat the boy, and bafied his
returning blows, til Miss Dree, In an
sgony Of fear and feeling, threw her arms
about Hazen, aud shouted Murder al the
top Of her voice.

Sims oD the temple and ielled him TO the
ground. The purple rage Of Whapsy
knew no bounds. lie hated the boy, and
would have kicked him dead, but the
older boys bad responded 10 the teachers
call, and rosolutely held him back.
Doctor Randall, who happened to be re-
moving an old stove from an empty house
Ia the vicinity OF the school, with view
OF appropriation, heard Patty's scream
and the uproar, and hurried In. As he en-
cred the teacher stood over the PROSTATE
form OF the boyl Ike pythoness Of fate,
and pointing to Whapsy, IN voice total
~ unlike her usually sweet tones, said,

ened at bis pale face aud deathike insen-
sibility, Patty ran for water; Oh, doctorl
DO something for the poor boy: don't let
that man escape.
Nom--no'm; and the great boys clus-
tered round the wretch, and held him as
in wise, while the boy from the hotel
ran for an officer.
That day was never forgotten In Blue
nose Canon. They will tell you yet of
thesl0wly returning consciousness of Sims
aud his first question of Where's little
Susie! They will tell You Of the long
DAYS Of helpless fever, and the untiring
watch Of the gentle little teachers mother
who came an the way from san Francisco
TO nurse him. The whole town rang with
the affair, and before night, parents from
the neighboring villages came pouring In,
who bad heard the details from their own
boys and girls, intensitying the excite
ment Tar aud feathers, and lynching,
were freely spoken OF, as none too good
for the miscreant and only Miss Dree's
persuasions TO the contrary saved hi nj.
lie was given an hour TO leave the place
on the one condition Of never returning.
The horrible proposition OF mailing him
up IN one OF bis own collins and burying
him alive, emanatcd from the little sass
pcddcr. The idea was put into eNecu-
ton, so far as carrying him to the cars IN
this CHASTITY style, A mock funeral pro-
cessl3n followed with caficatures of the
great deiunet, in various phases of his
career A. trustee aud committeeman

blended their discordancc with the uu-
earthly meanings Of the attending crowd
aud the dismal jubilee ended by dumping
the detcsted Mhapsy, box and all, into

shouts aud simulated tears. The Blue
