acter. he made his way to the west and
finally found the congenial work in the
country school which he had pursued
so happily until cruel fate had again
thrown him upon selfish world
without the means of employment.
Finally the young eX-teacher, as he
now felt himself TO be, was aroused
from his reverie by a rap at the door,
and before he could collect his wan
dering thoughts a curly-pated lad,
breathless from running, stumbled in
to the room with letter in his hand.

in his hand and wonderingly tore it
open. II read as follows:
New York, Oct 3, 1ss5.-Ofice Of ]. w.
Penniman, Attorney and Counselor al Law.
Mr.. II. w. Allen. Oakville Corners. Mich.
My Dear Sir: For the past two months
] have been looking for your address and
have jusC this day leaEned It, j now
hasten to inform you Of very agreeable
turn in your affairs. When your late la
mented father became involved in financial
difficulties one of the largest and most val
uable of his steamships the Dolphin,
bound for the East Indies. was reported
lost in tropical hurricane. without at
tempting to inform you OF details, which
! can better explain in person, l will simply
say that the supposed loss, followed by
inability to obtain the insurance. came a
a critical time and brought on the failure.
1t now transpires that the report was liz
correct. On the Goth of July, only three
weeks after your fathers death, the Dol
phin arrived in this port with an exceed
i:gIy valuable cargo. By ehis unexpected
stroke of fortune you are again a rich man.
/ have very gladly taken charge of yoGr
business interests, believing, sir, that you
would wish me to do so, and shall take
the liberty to act in this capacity until ]
hear from you.

the young man appeared to "show" his
interested and interesting pupil.
Such amiability, however, was not at
all pleasing to John Warren, another of
the oldest, though by no means bright
est, scholars in school. Before the ad-
vent of the new teacher, John had been
the recipient of an occasional smile
from the directors daughter, but of
late the young lady had apparently for
gotten the young man in her deep alb
sorption in algebra and history.
1t was this unfortunate condition,
speaking from John Warren's stand
point, that had led to Mr.. Aliens dis
comfture. Squire Warren was a neigh
Dor of Director Hathaway and the two
farmers were firm friends. So when the
squire's son began to make disparaging
remarks about the teacher, and the fa-
ther, whose faith in his only son was
unbounded, had become prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter to the director and easily
persuaded that worthy official, whose
acquaintance with the teacher had ex-
tended little farther than had been in
cidental to the duty of making con-
tract with him, that young Allen" was
not eft person to conduct our school.
lie is too familiar with the scholars and
hasn't enough dignity TO fill such re-
sponsible position"
Director Hathaway was a man of
promptness and decision, whose will
was law with the board, so when he
called his colleagues together and de
iivered the opinion that the teacher was
too young and inexperienced to con-
duct the winter term, the assessor and
the moderator meekly acquiesced,
though they both felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties we'll
So it came about during the last week
of the term that Mr.. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not be needed any longer. He
had been greatly surprised and morti-
fed at this announcement, and his pu-
pills had shown their disapproval of the
boards arbitrary action in a way that
threatened open revoit-all but John
Warren, who could hardly repress his
exultation at the turn affairs had taken.
One year before this incident Herbert
Allen had been the favored son of a
rich merchant in an eastern city. His
mother had long been in the grave and
Herbert had spent most of his bOyhood
days in a famous preparatory school.
Just as Re was ready to enter college
financial disaster came upon his father,
resulting in his ruin and subsequent
death. This sudden blow of fate left
Herbert dependent upon his own re-
sources. Young and resolute in char

subject to your order. Awaiting your fur
tber instructions, am your obedient serV-
ant, JOHN w. PENNlMAN.
Herbert read the welcome news in d
dazed sort of way. He reread it more
carefully, and as it's full import dawned
upon him exultation took the place of
dependency in his breast. He picked
UP the draft with a feeling of elation
"rhis is indeed New Years gift! This
little piece of paper is worth ten times
as much as | have earned this whole
term. No more need to worry for the
future! The news is too good to be
true. Now l can bid defiance to that
august body, the school board of the
Brown district"
Just then his eye happened to rest
upon some very neat aJgebraic char
acters on the blackboard which he had
purposely directed mot to be erased"
III order to attract the wondering atten-
ton of his visitors that afternoon. An
instant change came over his spirits
| still | would have enjoyed another
term in this district. 1t is a shame that
ones efforts are so little appreciated"
The gathering dusk of a winters day
admonished him not to hpger further,
and he began to gather up his books
with a constantly sinking heart. He

heavy footsteps and deep-toned voices
in the hallway attracted his attention

Good evening, gentlemen" was the
pleasant salutation of the eX-school
master.
| Good evening" replied the direct or,
| in a somewhat embarrassed tone. 1--WE
! hardly expected to find you here so
late But we've Jest had board meet
ing down to my house and was on our
way to your boarding place. Seem the
door a jar, we thought maybe as you was
still in the schoolhouse, and so we
stopped in. AS | was a sayin', Mr..
| Teacher, we've Jest had a board meet
! in, and we have come to the unanimous
| conclusion to reconsider our former ac-
tion and ask We to stay the winter term.
As I've been sayin' to Mr.. Stevens and
Mr.. Simmons, perhaps we was little
hasty in our course. The teacher has
taught us a good school, there amt no
gittin' around it, and guess we've been
little preiudiced. l know my Helen
never took so much interest in her
studies before. Then another thing
that has convinced us that we ought TO
reconsider our action was the solemn
way in which the scholars felt bout
your leavin'. There's my daughter, for
instance, she has been mopin' around

the house ever sence we sent you notice,
and last night after school the whole
crowd of scholars came traipsin' down
to my house with petition asltin' us
to reconsider our vote. So, Mr.. Teach
er, we have thought best to yield to all
this pressure and ask you to stay. What
is more, we've decided to raise your
wages to $50 a month"
During this lorg speech the spirits of
the young man again rose to an eXult-
ant pitch, but h" replied in a calm and
dignified tone, which the gathering
darkness helped him TO assume:
Gentlemen, it is indeed gratifying
to me that you have thus vindicated me
from the suspicion of failure in my
work. But whether | can accept your
offer at this late day is question which
! cannot decide without some reflection.
The generosity Of your offer to raise my
wages is appreciated, though l shall
decline to accept the increase. | will
carefully consider your kind offer and
leave my decision with Director Hath
away tomorrow morning.
The interview was now ended. and the
board solemnly and with some surprise
at the independent bUJ perfectly cour,
teous manner of the youthful master
withdrew.
New Years morning, as the young
teacher repaired to he home of the di-
rector, he felt that ne had been doubly
blessed. Iesterda, he was but poor
and unappreciateG schoo-teacher. To
day he is the possessor of a snug for
tune and stanG3 vindicated before the
school distric,! Does the reader won
Ger which thought gave him greater
pleasure? And the answer which the
young ped; gogue gave to the director
that morning; if anyone doubts its
character, the joyful smile which Ii
up the sweet face of the directors

made further questioning useless.-De

waiting for him with packet and a
cup of hot coffee.

On the way back he was hailed by a
woman who came to her gate with a
