Miss Matte burst into a ringing
laugh; she couldn't help it, it was so
eXquisitely funny. But even as she
laughed, she felt her conscience prick
her. for poor little SHIFTS, fumbling and
pulling at the baggy trousers, laughed

Neither will l." echoed Sammy Lin
ger.
The appearance OF Ben Windsor's lit
tie sister, hand in hand with smiling
nurse maid, put an end to the unchari-
table conversation. Fanny Windsor
had cried to come up to the school
house, and as she hadn't been very
well lately, she was not allowed to cry
in vain. Ben was ordered to take good
care Of bis little sister, and the nurse
departed, leaving her charge in the
midst of an admiring group. Fanny
Windsor was fat and dimpled, and did
not show any signs Of her recent Illness
except in a certain imperiousness Of
manner that was extremely amusing.
All the early part Of that afternoon in
the school room the visitor behaved
perfectly. She was only three years old,
but she repeated her letters with her
eyes off the primer, and she counted up
to twenty with creditable rapldity. It
was during the fifteen minutes recess
that she grew determined and venture
some. She insisted upon seesawing
with one Of the large boys, she slapped
three of the girls, and in the end was
seen marching off alone, crying vehe-
mently that she dared anybody to come
with her. When the bell rang Fanny
Windsor had disappeared.
II there had been a cellar to the little
old school house there would have been
a probability, at least, that the trus-
tees small daughter had wandered into

cellar would have had no steps.
Miss Matte and all the pupils, even
the three girls who had been slapped,
were in a great flutter looking for the
missing child. Ben said that she

meaning, whereupon the pupil at the
foot Of the class murmured grumbling-
ly that that was just what he would
have said if he had been given his turn.
After the spelling class had retired
the arithmetic class came and estab-
lished itself in a very long row before
Miss Matte. Down at the end of the
arithmetic class was little Dutch boy
with blue eyes and flaxen hair. He was
a very new scholar, and he didn't look
as If he would remain foot all the time
The blue eyes were fastened earnest
ly upon Miss Mattie's face as she put
the question: IF an apple is divided
into two parts, what are the parts
called, Johnny Smeltzer?"
Halves" answered the little Dutch
boy.
IF the halves are divided into two
parts what are the parts then called?"
Quarters" answered the little Dutch
boy.
And If the quarters are divided into
two parts what are the parts called?"
inquired Miss Matte, determined to
discover what prodigious amount of ar
ithmetic this small boy knew.
"Snits," answered the little Dutch
boy without moments hesitation.
All morning the school children had
been calling Johnny Shelter TOW
Head" but when the next recess ar
rived he was christened "Snits."
1t was astonishing, considering the
limited dimensions of the village Of
Wales, that its youthful population
should have been of such critical
turn of mind. The children at the lit
tie old schoolhouse on the hill laughed
openly at tongue tied Ben Windsor, not
withstanding that his father was a
school trustee and person Of much i'm
portance. They made derogatory re-
marks in regard to Sarah Wyand's new
bonnet and Danny Riders big shoes
and Tommy Gill's poor little hat that
his mother had cut out Of piece Of
blue velvet. They even smiled at Miss
Mattie's bronze slippers, and declared
in audible whispers that they must
