A MINERS TALE
BY Harry osborne-CIass A. Four
teen Years

One evening as the full moon arose
majestically over a distant peak and
shed her soft rays over the vast plains
and surrounding mountains, there
might be seen a large campfire, near
the entrance of a rocky valley leading
into the very heart of the mountains.
AS we approach nearer to the fire we
see a very characteristic group of
miners, all lounging around the cheer
full blaze, some sitting on logs and
others lying OH their blankets.
AS we settle down among them, we
direct our gaze toward big burly
jolly looking miner, who seems to be
the story teller of the evening. After
calmly surveying the eager faces
around him big Babe" as the men
all call him, began:
"Well, seeing as you boys want a
story, guess I'll tell you about find
ing my first lost mine" And then he
went on: IF I recollect right it hap

She knew she had right to go to Mr..
Granville's office and that she did not
deserve to be disgraced before the
whole school.
What did you go to Mr.. Granville
for?" Miss Murphy demanded later
when they were alone.
HE explained some decimals to me,
replied Patsy
Did you ask him to?"
NO" said Patsy, II met him and he
asked me how 1 wuz gettin' on and I
said I didn't understand decimals."
you had no business to say such
things" cried Miss Murphy, angrily. II
try as hard as 1 can to make you un-
derstand. and you either don't or won't.
You're the most trying child I've ever
had in any of my classes. The other
children get along all right"
Patsy looked at her shoes and swal-
lowed hard. She just wouldn't cry be-
fore Miss Murphy.
You may go now," said Miss Muir
ply, but if you expect to get on you
will please to come to me instead of
sneaking off to Mr.. Granville"
But Patsy was not as easily scared
as Miss Murphy thought, and instead
of going home she went straight to Mr..
Granville and asked If she couldn't
possibly be put In some other room,
because she did not mean to be bad
and yet Miss Murphy didn't seem to
understand that. She'd even be will
ing to go back a whole class If she
could have Miss Morton again.
Don't the other children get along
all right?" asked the principal.
"Well," replied Patsy, thoughtfully,

don't mean to be horrid, but do think
of questions L want to ask, and 1 sup
pose they are silly ones''
Little by little Mr.. Granville found
out all that Miss Murphy had said to
Patsy, although Patsy had had no idea
of telling tales.
Hmm said Mr.. Granville,
thoughtfully, ''and you say you'd be
willing to go back a whole half year.
Let me ask you few questions"
Then he tested her in reading, and
spelling, and geography and Patsy
wondered what under the sun was
going to happen. 4
How would you like to be promoted
to the next class instead Of going
back?" he said at last. You'd have to
work pretty hard, but that wouldn't
hurt you. 1 rather think this grade is
easy for you in spite of the decimals.
If you have trouble with them you can
come to me for help"
"O," said Patsy, breathlessly, "I'd
work, honest true, only mama might
not like it. She doesn't want me to go
too fast"
"Pll write a note" said Mr.. Gran-
willie, land I'll tell Miss Murphy that
1 gave you an examination for promo
tion and you passed it,"
"And I'll be in Miss Franklin's
room," cried Patsy, her eyes shining.
20, I'll work like everything. She's
next dearest to Miss Morton"
isn't is funny?" remarked Patsy,
when she had told her mother and
father all that happend. "Mr Gran
vile looks so fierce. and most of the
kids are so scared of him. Only few
of us really aren't, and yet he was
awful good and kind. / didn't even
cry and I felt terribly like wanting

Patsy forgot to hate school and life
once more came to be all rosy -coiored,
which was its usual shade with Patsy.

Running and stumbling I soon
reached camp completely exhausted,
and announcing my great discovery
to the men gathered about, stumbled
and fell, striking my head against a
large stone and then all was dark. The
men quickly gathered about me and
seeing my outstretched hand, an old
miner opened it. Taking out the piece
OF stone he looked at it, and then with
an amused smile he held it up so all
could see. Shouts of laughter arose,
and when came to they told me of my
great mistake explaining that it was

you getting on this term?"
Pretty WE'LL" said Patsy, vaguely.
"O-ho!' said Mr.. Granville; "only
pretty we'll? What's the matter?"
He bent a pair of very fierce eyes
on Patsy.
II don't understand my decimals,
returned Patsy.
But" said Mr.. Granville, "you've
always done we'll before this"
Yes, 1 liked fractions and things, but
1 don't see any sense to decimals."

20, thank you," Patsy replied, cheer
fully. And sure enough they seemed
just as simple and plain as day, after
Mr.. Granville explained a few things,
and Patsy worked lots and lots of ex-
amples right off.
After the opening exercises next
morning Patsy found herself suddenly
turning not and cold, for Miss Murphy
had fastened pair of sharp eyes on
her.
PATSY Newton" she said, sternly,
and solemn hush settled over the
room: II found your books in Mr..

"Yes," said Patsy.

snapped Miss Murphy.

Yes, dear, 1t may brighten the poor
child up was the answer.
Laura kissed her mother and then
ran across the street. She knocked on

mother, who said to her:
"Oh, Laura, am so glad you have

once before when Teddy lay on the

to see that the little runner was about
to speak
"Who was Hercules?" began Teddy.

Mercury had tied his shoe and grasped
his stick.

swung up above the clouds. When he

he had returned to the couch, and Mer-

like Vulcan's ham

was obliged to close

But at that unlucky moment,
With a start the king awoke.
Saw what Vulcan had been doing,
And in voice OF thunder spoke
"What, you dare to disobey me!
Dare to play such trick"
Striding forth gave poor Vulcan
One tremendous. kingly kick.
Then the blacksmith god went spinning,
Shouting he was not to blame,
Fell to earth with such humping
Vulcan to this day is lame!
"And So" concluded Mercury, tri-
umphantly, that is how" but just as
Teddy was opening his ears to hear
