The prisoner was found guilty, however.
The Judge consulted the records fer a tine.
and then very slowly and deliberately
stated that the eloquent young attorneys

would send the prisoner to the county Jail
where his aged parents were then serving
sentences ana tie united family would not
be separated for many Christmas days.

That reminds me- he continued, 'Of a
thing that worried old Bishop EdrIy
of Virginia, to the day he died On a
certain occasion, while passing through
Georgia, the Bishop, without having been
consulted was advertised TO preach. The
result was that he refused TO speak An
other man had TO be procured in q hurry,
and at last one was found.
The Bishop was very jealous, and de-
servedly so, of his reputation. He sent u

was perhaps a little pleased, for even
bishops are human.

The bishop grieved for weeks over the
matter, and, in fact, is said to have

PUT TO THE PROOF,
.N~NN~~ ~o~p~~
BY Mrs. Alexander,

He is just FOOL" said Miss Eupre-
mimia Maclaren.
| This severe sentence was uttered by
a tall, angular, elderly lady, with pep
per and salt hair and pale blue eyes
"a we'll dressed spinster with a solid
gold chain, and handsomer watch
hooked to her Waistband.
| She was the owner Of the comfort
| ably furnished house in the dining
room of which this conversation took
place, and her remark was addressed
to her friend and gossip Mrs. Peters.
well, he does not look like one
Miss Maclaren a pleasanter, potter
young man 1 have never me t-and
| they say he writes in newspapers, and
magazines and things. 1t takes more
than a fool to do that"
"Oh, he is clever enough in one way,
but you know there is nothing worse
| than clever fool who doesn't know
how to push his fortunes. It's just a
| misfortune to Max that he has taken
after his Irish father. If he were real
Scotch he would not neglect his oppor-
tunities as he does. It's flying in the
! face of Providence I did my best to
| keep my poor sister from marrying Mr.
Warning, but she was just infatuated"
"What has your nephew done now,
my dear? No, no, thank you; l never
take third cup"
heard me speak of Miss Oglevie, that
| canadian girl with all the money
| those ridiculous society papers have
been twaddling about her. Well, Max
| fell in love with her at the italian
lakes last August and was with her
| for a couple of days. He was doing
some letters for the st. Paurs Review,
beggarly concern, my dear. Now the
young lady has invited him to visit
| her in Florence, where she is going to
stay the winter and he refuses!' This
| last word in a little scream. "Says
she's not the sort of woman he could
| stand as wife. Such nonsense; if
you can stand on 100000 I'd like to
| know what sounder basis you could
| find"
Perhaps she has bad temper, Miss
| Maclaren."
Nothing of the kind. She is as good
as gold.'
"How do you know that?'' .
| s'Well, you see, l advertised for a
! secretary and companion while you
| were away, Mrs. Peters, and people
are so greedy now that never had all
answer to my first advertisement; the
news agent had the face to tell me
my terms were too low. At last two
| girls came-one was regular Taupie-
wanted a day out every week, and
| don't know what; the other douce,
| wise like lassie, who agreed to every
| thing I wanted. When I asked about
! her references she had letter from
| Miss Oglevie, with whom she lived for
| two years. 1t seemed she had given
every satisfaction and only left be-
cause Miss Oglevie wanted a married
lady for chaperon-so l took the
| grille, and she tells me she never was
so happy as with the heiress, and that
| she was just an angel"
Miss Maclaren paused and resumed
| in lower tone. ''What makes me I'M
easy is that it has just come to me
| like revelation that since Miss Rid

had pretty shaped head, plenty Of
glossy, Wavy nut-brown hair, soft,
thoughtful hazel eyes, and pathetic
mouth. Though Miss Maclaren's des-
cription certainly applied to her, she
was not unattractive
Il have brought you the letters to
look at before close them," She said
in soft, pleasant voice.
"Oh, I'm obliged to you," not too
graciously. do you want a cup Of
tea? Take it while read the letters"
Miss Ridley declined, and exchanged Il
few sentences about the weather with
Mrs. Peters while her patroness read.
Eyes, they are all right; only you
might have made them shorter
'Shall 1 take them to the post, Miss
Maclaren?"
mo; don't be restless"
But 1 want to 60 on my own ac-
count. have been writing to Miss
Oglevie, and must post before half
past fiye'
"Oh, very well, 60 cannot send out
the servants at all hours"
mo, certainly not" She smiled a
good morning to Mrs. Peters and left
| the room
"No, she is no beauty" observed
Mrs. Peters when they were alone,
"but there is something taking about
! her.
"Designing little cat" calculated
Miss Maclaren. II am certain she is
doing her best to take in that foolish
| boy! 1 am determined to tell him not
! to come here more than once a week,
on Sundays, and then I'll take her to
early service"
"Ah! my dear friend! that will not
do much good. Lots Of love can be
made over a prayer book"
Meantime Miss Ridley had tied on a
pretty little black hat, adorned with
a branch Of lilac, sped away to the
post, from whence she diverged into
Thensinston gardens to enjoy the last
Of a fine late October day. Miss Mac
laren's neat abode, being situated In
LeXmOre terrace, one of the many
openings north from the BaysWater
road.
She had not gone many yards when
she heard a quick step following her.
and the next moment a pleasant, well
bred voice said: II am in luck to meet
you. Miss Ridley, I thought there
might be a chance if I hung about
here" She turned and found herself
face to face with a young man Of 30 or
a little more, whose keen, hanging
gray eyes dwelt on her admiringly.
He was little over middle height,
strongly built, we'll dressed and gentle
man like looking.
II have been to post letter to Miss
Ogleyie, and left Miss Maclaren at tea
with Mrs. Peters," she returned look
Of soft, bright confusion sparkingly in
her eyes and glowing ON her cheek

alone.''
Then you must let me take advan.
tage of it, he said earnestly as they
walked toward the round pond

place. Miss Matte, however, had new
er seen any snakes and didn't believe
there were any. She had no objections
whatever to the situation, but the house
itself was old. Whenever Miss Matte
met school trustee she was bound to
tell him right decidedly that she must
have a new school house, one with
cellar for the coal and room for her
desk away from the draught.
But in the spring time the draught
from the door was very welcome, and
Miss Matte was grateful for all the
air she could get as she sat at her desk,
hearing the spelling lesson.
Hero, hero" drawled Miss Mattie's
pet, Nan Foster. Then Nan came to a
pause and fiddled nervously with the
pockets of her apron.
WELL" queried the teacher.
Il know what it means" declared the
little girl; Il know so we'll that didn't
have to look in the dictionary, but I
can't say it to save my life.'
1T means boy" volunteered very
small girl, glancing dreamily out of the
school room window.
''Oh, yes, of course, know it means
a boy" said Nan, hastily, "a boy who
oh, dear, I can't say it."
Miss Matte put sudden end to the
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1895-10-24
Miss Matte hurst into rim

Miss Matte burst into a ringing
laugh; she couldn't help it, it was 50
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
Yes, he minded very, very much, wear
ing that other boys trousers
II know one thing" remarked the
teachers pet, throwing her proud little
head in the air, IF I was SHIFTS ]
wouldn't come to school if I had to
wear peoples old pants. His mother
ought to go to the store and buy him
a pair with her wash money"
Il won't play with him while he
wears Ben Windsor's pants," said Char
ley Stills, virtuously.
Neither will l." cried George Watts,
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
lad cried to come up to the school
house, and as she hadn't been very
we'll 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 rapidity. 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.
If there had been cellar to the little
old school house there would have been
a probability, at least, that the trus-
tees small daughter had wandered into
it, or fallen into it, for very likely the
cellar would have had no steps.
Miss Matte and all the pupils, even
the three girls who had been slapped,
were in a great f1utfer 1oolxinp for tho
missing child. Ben said that she
