A Violin with a soul,

me to speak.

it me! Give it me! Give it me-"
He raised his hands above his
head and fairly shouted his de-
mands. Before my very eyes he
seemed to take on greater stature;
his long, struggling beard shook as
if stirred by a ghostly breeze, and |
felt that WI h his bony fingers he
could pluck my heart from out my
breast. In an agony of fear | spoke
with what appeared to be compos-
ure, hut my feet were rooted to the
floor, and my body was cold, like
ice.
"YOu shall not have this instru.
ment, Goetz," said. Il do not
know you, and if | did, should not
recognize your claim. Conrad Ber-
ger gave me the violin, and to HIM
alone will | return it,"
Goetz lowered his appraised hands
and clutched at a mantel for sup
port. His hollow eyes looked won
drous sorrowful, and when he
spoke again it was in pitably weak
accents, with no trace of his for
mer fierceness.

Bad Conduct.

The graded school, at Woodstock, closed
last Friday under circumstances not at
all complementary to the town. At an
early hour, the house was taken possession
of by q lot of unruly boys. the doors were
barricaded and teachers and pupils gain
ed admission only to some portions of the
house. The window blinds were slammed
in the face of a lady teacher, and large
boy hung from the window Of the second
story and propped his feet against the
blinds of the first story thus preventing
her from opening the blinds. Other
blinds were nailed from the outside.
Benches were taken up and propped
against the door, in the upper story.
While this was going on there was con-
tinued yelling and shouting that could
be heard for several squares. The dis
order and disturbance were continued for
three or four hOurs, and under these
circumstances the teachers we're compelled
to close the school.
