crowley that his presence was de-
sired at the Rivers school contained a
hint to the effect that retribution awaited
him in the shape of a Judge and fine if
any regrets were sent. So after several
explosions of temper which made tinid
Mrs. Crowley 60 to a neighbors for safety,
and which precipitated Jamsey into the
back yard, Crowley, like Shakespeare S
school-boy, had gone most unwillingly to
school.
She'll put none of her 'comether' on

know her place
School was in session when he arrived.
Somehow, as he neared the door, his
courage seemed to be oozing out, and
with a mental resolution to break every
bone in Jamsey's body for putting this
on him, he knocked.
Mr.. Crowley. is it? Oh, just come in
and sit down for a few minutes until |
start the children to work" said the
brisk young woman who opened the door.
Firmly holding the hat which she had
offered to take, he sat down awkwardly,
seeing nothing but a mass Of faces. When
his vision cleared, he noticed Johnnie Rice,
the most mischievous boy IN the neigh
borhood, looking neither to the right nor
the left, after a friendly grin, but studying
as furiously as if his life depended on it.
Crowley stole a look at the teacher to see
what manner of woman it was that could
reduce such a RAGING torment of boy
to a condition of absolute submission. A
furtive shake of the hand attracted his
P-,-1ya hut n
Georgia Burke that he almost failed to
recognize, so clean and demure was he.
He did some thinking during the ten
minutes he sat there waiting. Where
were the flying books, the gu1n-chewing,
the talking, the pandemonium set loose,
of his imagination? How one woman,
and a little woman at that, could bring
bows who were terrors in the neighbour
hood to be such models of department
was beyond him
I'm ready now, Mr.. Crowley, if you
are in a hurry said Miss Reid.
I'm in no hurry now" said Crowley.
4 may as well make a day of 1t, since
I've lost my morning anyway"
I'm so sorry you had TO come; but
I think it will pay yOui the end Would
YOU ike to stay and hear a lesson or two!
i would indeed, if l wouldn't be in
the way"
So he heard common denominators
and "subtrahends" and numerators"
and dividends and divisors" until he
was dizzy and sympathized with Jamsey
for finding school hard, until he heard
George Burke commended for his neat
paper and Johnnie Rice praised for doing
the hardest example in the lesson, when
he made up his mind that what they
could do Jamsey could do, and would do,
if he had to throttle him to make him

Nothing but blots and zeroes," said
Miss Reid briefly.
Crowley shook his head despondently.
He absolutely refuses to write them
over at home" said Miss Reid.
Crowley blushed a little.
Hell be in this room until he's old
enough to vote, if he doesn't get to work
and do something" she went on. Hes
smart too; but-well, you can see for
Yourself, Mr. Crowley, how he compares
with the others. Something must b
done, and it up to you to do it. He's q
nice little fellow in many ways-politc,
accommodating and all that-but just
look at his shoes! I know you'd never
let him come to school with his shoes
unblacked and his hair looking as if it had
never been combed."
Crowley thought guilty of his refusal
to allow Jamsey to use the backing, eX
cept on Sunday.
You See" said Miss Reid, hes sim

at his age need a fathers strong hand.
Indeed, miss he'll feel the weight of
that same strong hand when l get hold

encourage him a little. If he was heater.
he'd be one of the handsomest boys in

Crowley appeared conscious. Jamsey
was said to resemble him.
Il know Mrs. Crowley has too much
to do to look after such a great big boy
and to follow him up to see that he at
tends to himself, so you must take a
hand"
Sure, miss, I'd like to know how l

LAW OFF ON FRAMES IN ROXBURY.
 Gee whiz! Gee whas! Gee whum. Did you ever, ever, ever attend pov- erty party? We'll, by gum, they had one at our hall here in Roxbury and swan to goodness I never saw such a lot of ragamuffins in my life! I didn't suppose there was as many poor folks in the 'hole' country as saw there. There were rags and tatters, patches and holes, all the colors of the rain bow, and stranger would have said they were hoboes. They were big and little, thick and thin, short and tall, old and young, and one and all had the time of their lives. To try to describe the different styles of dress would take up your whole paper and would have to be continued in your next. The grand march started at 9 p. m. and was led by Leverett Castle in his regi- mentals. The music was furnished by Messrs W. B. Seward and Roy Wat son on the piano and violin. The most noticeable rags among the ladies were worn by Mrs William B. Seward, Mrs Robert Thomas, Mrs Mark Bradley, Mrs Sarah Thomas, Miss Alice Bron- son, Miss Helen Goodsell, Miss Nellie McNiff, the Misses Humphrey, Miss Isabel Mckay, Miss May Forbes, Mrs Clayton Squ1res, Mrs Clarence Barnes,
 Mrs James Hallenback, Misses Ida Phettiplace and Eva La Torneau. Of those amongthe maleIhoboes was.J ames Hallenback, who was awarded the prize for being the worst looking speci- men in the crowd. Others were James Botsford, Edward Ashman, Robert Thomas, Clarence Barnes, Clayton Squires, John Winters, John Benson, James McNiff, Martin Benson, F. Dickinson. 'Bridgewater was we'll represented. The stage was filled en- tirely with sight-seers, and that they fully enjoyed themselves was easily told by the peals of laughter that came from them. The affair was got ten up for the benefit of the piano fund and was financial success, hay ing netted $32. It was said by many that it was the largest party ever held in the Town hall. Dancing was kept up until 2.3O a. m., when those bundles of rags wended their way home, having had dancing and fun enough to last for long time, and certainly more disreputable looking lot was never seen under any roof.

DEATH OF LEVI ROUNDS.

Levi Rounds, one of the oldest resi- dents of this town, died Thursday aft noon, February ?, at the home of his daughter, Mrs E. c. Wixom, Lower White Hills, at the ripe old age of 95 years. Death was caused by old age, no organic disease appearing, there being gradual failing of natural pow CT until death ensued. MT Rounds was born in Rhode Island, August 31, 1910, and came to this town when quite a'young man. He married Miss Kate Hubbell of White Hills and set tied at that place, purchasing farm and devoting his life to the working of the same, and the pursuing of his trade, that of carpenter. He was one of the solid, sensible, honest c;ti- zens, who helped to build up this sec. tion of the state, one who was looked upon as forming part of the sub- stantial sub-structure of society. He was early led to join the Highland Baptist church, and was one of the most active members of that society, until advancing years prevented him from engaging in active work, but as long as he retained his faculties he took an interest in the church, and was one of the most regular attend ants at it's services. He was the father of two children: Sylvester Rounds, who died some years ago, and Mrs Martha Wixom, with whom he made his home. He was good citizen, a kind neighbor and fond parent, and in his death passes away one more of the old-fashioned gentlemen, who made up the society of generation or two ago.
