Z" And now," said Mr. Ashley, when the
school had been formally closed for the day
and he was driving the school-ma'am home
once again, you can do as you please
about retaining the situation"
" am so very, very grateful 10 YOU
murmured Dolly who had never admired a
man in her life, so much as she admired Mr..
Ashley when he knocked down the six-foot-
high school bully, Joab Dare
81 would have done as much for any wo-
man, said he, quietly. But don't think
that any teacher is going TO find Mink iTol-
low School q bed OF roses
. But don't know what else to do, said
Miss Price. g ! am poor, you sec, have
got to support myself and keep my two little
brothers at school. And there are so few
things that a woman can do"
MIR. Ashley looked kindly down at her.
"suppose you come home with me, said
he. Mira will be very glad to have you
keep her company for few days, land you
can be deciding what next to do. And l
think it will perhaps be more restful atmos-
phere than that of Mrs Rexton's house."
Mira received the new guest with warm
,ordiality. She was plump good-natured
Did maid, who loudly commended Miss
Prices judgment in abandoning the charge
Of Mink Hollow School tsH 6t&E skI
There ore a great many easier forms OF
committing suicide than teaching school,
said she. q And whit you need for the pres

night with three square wrinkles ON her fore
head. M ~ iHEW

Diary. !"
g About what y ssid Dolly.
" Not for myself, for Frank" added the
old maid. :. You see, Dolly, he's in love-"
g In love! !" Dolly turned crimson, 1.-THE
blood seemed turned to fire through all her
pulses.
And he can't muster courage to ask the
girl to have him ~ pursued Miss Mira.
:" ! should think he had courage enough
for anything" said Dolly in low voice.
/" All, you don't understand him." said
Miss Mira, shaking her head, Men are so
queer where woman is concerned. And
now the question is this. If were to go to
her,-if were to tell her that he loves her
can't bear to see Frank suffer, and yet do
nothing
g II is what you ought to do said Dolly,
IN a trembling voice. II any woman has
been fortunate enough TO gain his love-"
g Well, she has! I" said Mira, exultantly.
q And that woman ia You, Dolly Price -
"Afraid of me !" gasped Dolly. "Hel"
Dear mel" said Miss Mira, !" II there
isn't the spotted calf in the clover meadow
again must run and shut him up!n
But Il is to be surmised that she stopped
aseeond in her brothers library frst,-for
when she came back after victorious sortie
upon the spotted calf, she found Frank and
Dolly engaged!
@ I thought how ii would be-" said Miss
Mira, wisely.
And Mink Hollow School is now presided
over by masculine giant with voice like
a March gale and decided prediction for
corporal punishment rW
