The Bribe Didn't Work, and Her Confes-
sion Was Failure.
Something dreadful had happened at the
Queenville district school. May Greene
the belle Of the village, had smuggled her
Sunday sash out of the bureau and "unbe-
knownst to her mother had worn 1t to
school. Her triumph, however was short
lived. She had hung tho sash most care
fully on hook in the cloakroom while she
ran out, at recess, for good romp.
On her return she was dismayed to find
that 1t had been cut In two pieces. Every
scholar was carefully questioned, but no
one of course knew anything about It,
The teacher accordingly announced that
when tho afternoon session should open
she would lay all lessons aside and hold
court Of investigation. She herself would
be the judge. May Greene should be the
plaintiff, and every scholar in turn should
come into u witness box rlgged up for the
occasion and tell exactly what he knew
about the matter. She also said that II
any one would confess his wrongdoing be-
fore the opening of court he would be par
doned and all proceedings stopped.
Two guilty boys, discarded beaux Of the
gay coquetto, were now pale with disrnay.
They had told untruths when privately
questioned, and now they feared that they
would not he able to brave them out be-
fore the awful court ordeal, especially since
1t had begun to be whispered around that
they knew more Of the matter than had at
first appeared. They therefore Lit upon
the following expedient:
The youngest child In the school, little
Annie Cork, was the pet of the county. II
she now could only be induced to confess
to the cutting of tho sash, surely she would
be pardoned on account of her popularity.
She was therefore beset by the guilty
youngsters, who, by dint of dire threats
and large bribes and by urging confession
upon her as duty, finally secured her be
wildered consent "to confess"
When the afternoon bell rang the schol-
ars came in promptly, looking askance at
the awful witness box and at tho mutilat-
ed finery floating out from the teachers
desk. The judge was about to open court
when in came the criminals triumphantly,
leading the innocent child between them.
They informed the judge that Annie Cork
had come to confess, and officlously plao-
ing her in the witness box they withdrew
to their seats Tho child's helpless attitude
was too much for the tender hearted judge
who took her by the hand and said gently.
"wcll, dear, have you really come to con
fess2'
"Yeth," she faltered, oppressed by the
earnest stiffness In the room, but gaining
courage from tho judges kindly manner,

Pitching the Tune.

An incident which soems amusing at

the church, and although ho was prone to
