what He Took with Him. and WHY He.
Didn't Say Something Very severe. IN
the Scholars. :.
The Hillside school had begun its
fall term. There was a new. Teacher
a'yonng lady. with bright face and a
pleasant voice
Nov, children" said the teacher
one day; e think INSTRUMENTATION
may be here tomorrow or, the next
day. The children all promised to
behave we'll. They did not like. TO hear
that the visitor was coming. lie was
very tall, very grave. and very: strict;
and they were afraid of him. -.
The vcny next day this tall, stern
gentleman. said, TO himself: twill
visit the Hillside school to-day
He went,to the door; the wind WAS
sharp and chilly. SO he turned back and
said: /: ~. =
.''Wile. cin you tell where my over.
Yes. it hangs in the barn chamber;
1t has been there all summer. !" she re-
piled.
Doctor Bray put on his. coat and
walked away to:fhe school-hotlse.
The teacher placed . chair for him
on the platform. just as he. had
asked the first arithmetic class a
puzzling question. one Of the girls at
the desk gave little scream. All the
others nestled and fdgeted, looking as
II they would like to scream too.
The visitor turned and looked at
them very sterniy indeed. The teach

head ut them.

little voice. lit was mouser'a -.
II hope we may have order in tn e

his deepest tones<, And then he gave
out his question once more.
Pop! another mouse! This one ran
over to the boys side, and two or three
Of the boys SAT- where it came from.
They nudgcd each other, and clapped
their hands over their mouths to keep

The teacher touched her bell again,
and called: .'Silence!' She felt very
much disturbed that her boys and girls
should act 90. But as she glanced to.

she was obliged to smile herself, for a
third mouse jumped out. of the good

The boys laughed aloud now. and

now seeing the trick. but not willing
TO acknowledge 1t.
.'How much more than half quar-.
ter?" said Kate again.
Il don't KNOW
Now. Harry had not worked while
he talked, which was precisely what
his cousin desired.
Before Kate could ask any more
questions Carrie came along. and.
looking surprised. said:
What are you two doing hcre?"
Sorting apples" said Harry, sadly.
for he knew that Carrie had come 10
torment him with more questions.
''liow many have you donc?'
.'Oh. lots
but how many?' persisted his tor
mentor
y don't know" said poor Harry.
why don't yon know
But before Harry could answer this
question Ella arrived on the scene and
asked question after question until
Harry was thoroughly disguised and
discouraged; but Frank had TO have
his turn, and notwithstanding the
tears in Harry's eyes. piled him with
questions until Harry was in DESPAIR.
just at this point little Ralph arrived.
and said: lin are going to ax Hawy
quexions now" and turning Ia Harry
he said: lis those apples. Hawy?"
Are You going to ask questions, too,
Ralph?' said poor Harry. now begin-
ming to sob.
I'm are" said Ralph, a favorite en-
preston Of his.
What does you cry for SO, Harry?
I'LL never ask another question a.
long as l live" said Harry. If yo,,
will only leave me alone; but it docs
not make much difference now" he
added. for will never get through
with these apples tonight aud no
sobbed again.
The children now began to feel very
sorry for Harry. and told him they
would help him with the apples, If hn
would try and not ask SO many useless
questions, especially If they were busy
Harry, thoroughly penitent. declared
again and again that he would never
ask another question.
Not so fast cousin" said Ella
laughing; I'VE would not be so exact
ing. All we ask is: DO not ask ques
tions If you think we would rather not
answer you;' but come. let us 60 to
work and help Harry now.'
So to work they went. and the result
was that the apples were all sorted be-
fore dark.
Harry never thought OF being angry
with his cousins for the joke which
they played on him; he felt that he
richly deserved it.
The next day was pleasant. and Har-
~ thought he never enjoyed any thing
50 much in his life. Every thing in
terested him. from the Judge Of the
races. who sat on the grand stand,
down to the pugs which some Of the
ladies carried in their arms. He could
talk of nothing else for week, in the
meantime always trying not to ask
questions when it was likely to annoy
his cousins, who became SO fond OF
him that they shed many tears when
soon after this Harry's papa came to
take his little boy home. as his NAM
ma was much better. They We're con-
soled. however. when Mr. Meade said
that Harry could visit them the fol-
lowing summer, not forgetting to in-
vite them 10 visit Harry in his city
home.
If you will only come, "said Harry,
I'll promise not to ask you any more
questions than you ask me. ~. Y.
