without giving them time for further

That night the board of education
met, and after the dispatch of some mi

announced the principal business Of
the evenings session.
1t was his painful duty, he said, to
call the attention Of the board to the
fact that the principal Of their schools
was man Of evil repute and unfit to
hold so responsible an office. This
statement he substantiated by the fol-
lowing charges; First. That the init
macy existing between Mr.. Grey and
Miss Elsie Whitford, pupil, had been
matter of comment among the citizens
for some months past. That he, Capt.
Wiyon, disbelieving these reports and
actuated solely with view to clear
Mr., Grey's reputation, had engaged a
much esteemed friend, Rev. Archibald
Dodd, to prosecute inquiry, which had
resulted in the painful conclusion that
the principal was really guilty Of at
least great indiscretinn
Grey sat dumfounded at the very
absurdity Of the accusations, speech
less with honest Indignation.

In the passion Of her appeal, while
the tears were streaming down her

CHAPTER w.
WISE MEN IN corrycu


"You are requested to be present at meet
Ing Of the board OF education to be held In the
First ward school this evening at seven
o'clock, PErTIGREw WIxoN,
Moderator"
A weak-eyed young woman, daugh-
ter Of Wixons foreman, handed the
young schoolmaster this missive as
soon as the days session was begun.
This girl Susan Green was ono nf
dreys oldest scholars, and certainly
his most troublesome one. In the early
advent of the handsome teacher, she
had done her poor best to attract his
admiration, and, having failed, had
imbibed a dislike to him thatamounted
to rabid hatred.
Grey read Wixon's letter and asked,
quietly: "Did the captain desire an an
swer?"
"No, he didn't
The schoolmaster did not condescend
to notice the insolence OF the girls
tone, though the other pupils looked
at each other in mute surprise
"Well," he said, "you can tell him
at dinner time that l will be there"
you can carry your own messages"
the girl said in loud aggressive accents.
Theyounr schoolmaster gave o glance
of panied surprise and ordered her to
leave the room, which she did with as
much noise as it was possible for her to
make.
When the dreary mornings work was
over, Grey sat brooding upon this un-
accountable trouble, which, to man Of
his sensitive nature, was more than
mere passing annoyance.
Presently a hand touched him on the
shoulder and aroused HIM from his
reverie.
"Elsiel' he cried, reprovingly. "Why,
my dear child, have you not gone home
with the other girls2"
Out Of doors was sprinkling Of rain,
and Elsie had donned long cloak,
whose blue hood formed picturesque
frame for her exquisite features.
Even Frank Grey was struck with
the loveliness and youthful freshness
Of the fair face turned up to his SO
pleadingly.
The round, pansy eyes were moist
with tears, the lips were trembling,
and she spoke hurriedly with much
emotion.
Dear Mr.. Grey, do not be worried
about Susan. / could not 60 without
saying to you that I-that Is all the
girls In my class are ashamed Of her
conduct to you. ThatI-that IA thsr.
