THE RESIGNATION
OF SILAS HUTCHINS.
By CHARLES BATTELL LOOMS.

1t was Silas Hutchins' first day as
teacher of the East Paynvile school.
He was young man with an abiding
faith in Silas Hutchins, an amazing
lack of tact and a determination to
rule the school from the start. He en-
tered the schoolhouse that morning a
stranger to most of the pupils, with
chip on his shoulder.
Now, as it happened, they were will
ing to start fair. AS Jim Stebbins said
to Jason Fellows, Lets size up the
moo teacher, an if he's half way de-
cent Wen help him run the school and
keep Ike in order. But if he's chump,
he can run it himself and we'll have a
hand in the run. too"
And Jason assented, with a secret
hope that Mr.. Hutchins would prove
chump. They had been on the side of
the late schoolmaster Jonathan Sy-
monds, because he had appealed to their
better instincts; but Jason was perfect
ly willing to give his better instincts
rest for this term, and he hoped with
all his heart that Hutchins would not
come up TO their standard.
Silas Hutchins had read numerous
stories about young men who had risen
to greatness and who had gotten their
start by obtaining the mastery over
unruly boys; but he did not know that
ig-headedness is only distantly related
to force and cannot work the same re-
suits. He rang the bell out of the
school window and the children came
hustling and pushing in, gigghng,
hearty lot.
When they were seated he rose and
disclosed the chip on his shoulder.
Children" he said, II have come to
this school to teach you all you ought
to learn. and 1 intend to do it," ok
change of glances between Jim and ia
SOM ~ don't know how you feel
about it. but intend to be master here.
If you all obey me you will find that
l am all right-and you'll enjoy your
work, but I'd like to see a boy break a
rule I'd have him out here in a min
ute and I'd show him by the feeling of
his palms that there are two rulers in
this school, myself and this"
Here he held up a ferule. He may
have meant to be jocose, but he failed
to elicit smile from a single pupil.
Now Wen begin school, and remem-
ber-no monkey business or you'll find
that I'm a pretty tough man to deal
with"
A more injudicious speech never was
made by a young man just beginning
career. At the start of it he had not
an enemy in the school. At the close
he was an unpopular man.
The morning session passed without
incident. Jim and Jason were aching
to show him that he wasn't master;
but a survival of the feeling that Mr..
Symonds had aroused in them kept
them at their tasks. And, for a Won
der, Ike Roberts behaved himself,
whether through fear or from lack of
opportunity it would be hard to say.
He was a dull, heavy boy with no
ambition and little wit. He had been
in the district school for four years
and had learned in that time nothing
that a bright boy could not master in
as many months.
Few teachers had been able to do
anything with him, and it is a question
whether it would not have been better
for his companions if he had been rul-

Jim Stebbins, still somewhat swayed
by the lofty ideals that Symonds had
implanted, rose to his feet, intending
to give his moral support to the teach
er. Ike was no friend of his. He was
followed by Jason, who rose for the
same reasons, but poor, misguided Mr..
Hutchins mistook the action for more
mutiny and in a thunderous voice he
roared.
Take your seats and fold your arms
until have a chance to see you"
Jim and Jason wavered a moment
and then sat down hard. and the inn
pact broke their loyalty to their teach
er.
Ike walked up to the desk with
swaying neck and a leering smile. He
was not at all abashed, for he felt
himself a physical match for the teach
err. Mr.. Symonds, the late instructor,
had been a small man, but he had a
way of saying things that admitted
no doubt of his intentions in the minds
of the most misguided, and Ike had
stood in awe of him, but this loud

Punk. Reddy and Heady. who were
nearest to him, reached out and seized
his hands. Reddy and Heady pre-
pared at once to jump into the water
to his rescue, but Tug cried out:
Stay where you are or you'll be in
the quicksand too"
So they kept their places and fought
with the hungry sand that seemed to
be dragging at Tug for its prey. The
struggle was long and fierce, and
again and again it seemed as though
the boat would go on. its side and
throw them all into the treacherous
channel. But after a wearying strug-
gle they tore Tug from the alligator
Jaws of the quicksand, and pulled him
into the boat where he sank exhausted
and sickened with his fight for life.
With his last remaining breath he
managed to gasp:
Row on! row on! don't mind me-"
And on they rowed, digging their
paddles into the sand which flowed
away like a thick water, until they
were once more in a deeper part of
the stream.
From then on the sluice- way ran
straight and deep and they made fine
speed At length they heard, off to
their left, the puff, puff, puff of an
engine, and the smack, smack, smack
of a wheel against the water. Then
suddenly the sluice-way ended in the
wide prairie of the Mississippi itself.
And there-right abreast of them
is the Hiram @. Mudd."
And there on her bow leaned B. j.
