Ing school at the Corners. Teachers
and pupils OF other schools We're invit
ed, and the victor of the contest was
regardeds as the smartest thing on
earth. AT the spelling school the year
before the championship had been
wrested from No. s by No. 6, and the
schoolmaster of the latter district had
his salary raised So per month. This
fact invested the coming contest with
more than usual excitement.
A day or two before the contest Miss
Baker learned that Seth lived just over
the line in district No. 6. He would
therefore be an opponent. and. no mat
ter how deficient he was In other
branches. he was accounted prodigy
In photography.
''He feels that have snubbed him.
and he is now going to have revenge on
me. l wish he only knew how sorry
am"
The schoolhouse was Jammed with
teachers. pupils and parents. and all
recognized the fact that it was No. 5
versus No. q. The teacher Of No. @ was
young man. but he was there to win
If he could. and SO were-his best spell
ers. Queerly enough. it came about
that Miss Baker and Seth Thomas
beaded the opposition lists and they
We're opposite each other as Squire
Jameson took the spelling book and
gave out the first word Things went
easy at first. but when he came to the
four syllable words the ranks began to
thin. Fifteen minutes later there were
only FIVE on a side Ten minutes more
and only six in all were standing. four
of whom were No. Gs. Then the word
separate" knocked down two Of the
latter. and the contest went on for a
few minutes with two on side. Then
came the word 'impecuniosity." and
Miss Baker and Seth Thomas were
alone on the floor. There were yelling
and cheering. followed by silence, as
the squire looked for the hardest
words
81 shall be beaten" sighed the school
ma am. land the whole district will be
humiliated. If it were anybody but
Seth, who thinks ] meant to snub him,
wouldn't care SO much. ] wish-I
wish
"We will now resume" interrupted
the squire. and with solemn delibera-
ton he gave out a score Of big words
in succession In time he must reach
the word ARCHAEOLOGICAL" Miss Bak-
er knew it was there. and she knew
she always Numbered over 1t, and If it
came to her the championship was
gone. 1t came to Seth. however. and
for the first time he raised his eyes
from the floor and looked into hers.
She did not read revenge there. but
self sacrifice. An instant later, with
the audience holding its breath, he be.
gan on the word and at the fifth divi
sion of it put in an "a" for the 20 with
such emph. sis as to give her the cue
and as he sat down she spelled the
word right. at which the champioss OF
No. almost lifted the roof with theiI
yells An hour later as he walked uI
the road to the Carsons beside her she
asked:
"But why did you do 1t? ] am sure
you misspelled the word on purpose"
IL guess it was for love-" replied
Seth as he turned his head away and
stubbed his toes into the snow.

That one eenE postage Is not far
away Is taiY inference from the enor-
NOUS increase in recent years OF the
postal revenues.
The Tribune, Of New York, declares
that IL cannot be doubted that the
s,alving Of the presenE rate would be
popular, and would bring about huge
additions TO the total of letters sent
through the mails. Penny postage
long ago was hailed with iubilation in
Great Britain, as well II might be.
The English penny is worth about
two Of our Yankee cents. but so many
things are now sold in this country for
cent apiece That the public welcome
TO letter stamps costing one cent each
would be general aud emphatic. Pos
tai cards are unsatisfactory suhsti
stutes for seated envelopes.
May the era o. one cent postage for
every part Of American territory soon
be here.
