There was a general laugh at this,
which caused Pap to straighten up and
look important.

ANOTHER STRANGER APPEARS.
James Melvin, whose real name was
Frank Shelton. did not go away from
Postum Ridge. as Louisa had advised
him to do. but he had tarried on from
day to day in the hope of seeing her
again and promising himself that as
soon as he had another Interview with
her he would take his departure. His
purpose in seeing her again was to
make strong and final effort to in
duce her to accompany him to some
point In the far west where they
would remain unknown and where, as
he reasoned, they could lead safe and
happy lives.
One evening he came in from a long
tramp in the woods, where he had
gone ostensibly to prospect for mineral.
and found Turner sitting in front Of
the house in deep study. He watch
ed the old man for little while. then
called out gayly to him:

The Cost of q Duke,

A correspondent of London M. A. P.
tells a story of the Duchess of Mont
rose. whose beauty Is no less renowned
than her philanthropy. The scene was
q bazaar where the duchess was selling
photographs. One old Scotchwoman
was very anxious to secure photo
graph of the duchess. but the price ask
ed was shilllngs. The old woman
hesitated. She wanted the photograph,
but she could not well afford SO much.
"You can have my husband" said
the duchess. with an amused glance at
the duke standing near, "for 2s. 3d."
The would be purchaser looked at the
duke and then at his photograph con-
temptuously.
"Half crownw she blurted out. II
wouldna give silver saxpence for
him. But" she added inslnuatingly,
IL am right willing to give hauf a
Groom for your bonnie sell"
The duchess was unable to resist
this. and herself added the other half
crown to the bazaar Golfers, or. as an
other version of the story goes. the de-
spised duke proffered the balance.

by Prof r. H. Longwell of Brockway-

duties are as follows: First duty is care

Of whole time to the work. Health
must be preserved; hours must be regu-
lar. Teacher should be inspired and
interested In his work and the welfare
Of the children. Most important duty
OF teacher Is to live pure life, 10 be a
christian. The personal contact Of
teacher with pupil counts much. Talk
with pupil in regard to their life and
work. Some people say 1t is a duty Of
the teacher to treat all pupils alike. No
two pupils have the same disposition, so
they can not be treated alike"

He spoke Of the Cooperation of home

spend thirty minutes day in thinking
how to interest parents and patrons In
the schools. He spoke of the school
atmosphere and said: "It should be q
cheerful thrifty atmosphere. Some
things to establish this good feeling
are: neatness OF the teacher, cheer
full disposition, firmness of purpose
polite conduct, condition OF whole school
arrangement. The teacher should
make careful preparation for each days

between pupils and teacher, and among
