joined with his colleagues in advanc-
ing the work of construction which
was going on ut The Forks. There
was not little speculation as to what
sort of person the new teacher would
be, and we concluded that he was
likely to be of the sickly, earnest, un-
practical missionary type.
One afternoon, about three weeks
after the first directors meeting, was
at Hawley's store waiting for the after
noon mail, and discussing with him
the advisability of writing again to the
teachers bureau. While we were talk
ing u blackboard ratified up to the
door, and presently a-well, / was go
ing to say an angel, but there was
rather too much of an atmosphere of
perfectly human health about the
vision at the door to describe her that
way-presently some one asked, in the
sweetest CT feminine voices: us this
the post Officer"
An electric shock couldn't have
started us to our feet more suddenly.
II was an hour to mail time, and Haw-
ley and ! were alone in the store. Our
hats were off in Il quarter of Il
second, and | would have given
n great deal IL hadn't taken
off my coat and braces up at
the cabin. Hawley rose and went
towards the vision, acknowledging
with shocking matter-of-fact Bene-
dictine bow tho next questions: rs
this Mr.. Hawlcy?" Then she-the
vision-continued: 81 am Miss Fiske,
of Denver. | came to see about tho
school here. | understand teacher
was wanted"
Alec turned hclplcssly to me with q
weak gesture, and 1 came forward.
"Miss FislSe-ah-ah-Ir Lawrence,
the secretary" and Hawley rctreated,
leaving me to explain TO the vision that
we wanted man teacher.
But Miss Fislsc had come to get that
school She was bound to have IL, and
we couldn't do anything but let her try
It. What else could few helpless
men do?
SO when, few days later, u letter
was received from young man at
Omaha who wanted the position, of
which he had heard through the teach
crs' burcau, the writer was duly In
formed thnt the place had been filed;
and Miss Bertha Fislse was installed as
principal and corps of instructors ut
the Kingbolt Forks "academy," as
most of its patrons were pleased to
call it.
About week after the opening OF
the school the board of directors made
n call of state upon the teacher and her
flock. and Miss Fiske reported prog
ress as well as three or four cases of
wcll-deserved trouncings she had adj
ministcred just where they would do
the most good. She pointed out the
trouncees and intimated that they had
suddenly developed heretofore unsus-
pected goodness.
II was evident that Miss Bertha
FislSe was not only an excellent
teacher. but had practical ideas o. lis
cipline. We took vote before we sep
arated and unanimously decided that
the new teacher was q success.
She also made a great hit socially,
and in less than fortnight after her
arrival was star boardcr at the home

He stayed Hxpnetized.

That hypnotism is dangerous sci
snce, even in skilled hands, was once
more demonstrated at LIE Bourget, near
Paris "A professor of legerdemain, who
was giving an entertainment in a cafe,
and enjoyed some considerable reputa-
ton as a hypnotist, proposed concluding
the evenings amusement by an exhibit
ton of his skill. A young man named
Raylant volunteered to act as the sub
ject, and after some difficulty was rem
dered completely unconscious. The pro-
fessor then performed the usual tricks
with him, but when it came to awaken
ing found, to his astonishment, that it
was quite impossible to effect it.
Raylant was sent home and medical
help was summoned, but the doctor
could only recall him to consciousness for
a few seconds, after which the young
man relapsed into an agitated sleep, in
terrupted at intervals by violent nerv-
Gus crises. Up to to-day Raylant has
only had few waking moments, during
which he complains of excessive weak
ness and pains in the head. An inquiry
has been opened by the police authorj-
