THEIR VACATION.

They were teachers, American teach
ers, husband and wife, and for months
had been penned up in little town on
the Island of Mindanao, the Philippines,
where there was small detachment of
American soldiers. and from which it was
not safe to wander very far, unless they
cared to risk the sting of the spear, the
bite of the bolo or the crush of the
bullet.
They were OF that class of teachers
who felt the responsibility that rested
upon them. They gave the government
the best service they could, and the good
results were apparent on every hand

parents, and the advancement cheered
the hearts of the faithful, painstaking
teachers. But they were lonely. very
lonely. 1t was an entirely new life for
them. The high mountains and the end

beautiful Iowa; the native schoolhouse
was not like their former schoolhouses;
the people not like their people But
