was Saturday morning, exactly the time
that he ought not to have called. A
maid left him standing in the hall while
she went upstairs in search of Lalia
Romney sauntered down the hall to the
Gbrary-exactly the place he ought to
have avoided, thought small senior clad
in a short skirt, her head crowned by
a busting cap and her dress protected
by big apron.
Il beg pardon Oh, Miss Bart!" ex-
claimed Professor Faulks, stopping short
at sight of Lalia standing on the second
shelf of bookcase busting the top row
of books.
And, "Oh, Professor Faulks!" in a
half-vexed, half-amused tone. I'm go
ing to stand right here and finish this
row." speaking over her shoulder, land

useful as well as ornamental. Can

Far more useful than ornamental,
ma'am. At your service said Romney,
pulling his mustache in delight.
He cast his hat into a corner seized a
big calico cloth lying on the floor and
stepped up to the bookcase. Let me
help you" he begged, the big boy nature
in him responding to the lttle-girl nature
in Lalia, who could not summon bit of
dignity, clinging to shelf and arrayed
like maid.
She turned flushed, smiling face on
Romney. I'm away above you at
last" she cried, looking down in his face
upturned near her own.
You're that any day." he laughed,
up SO high l don't dare reach for you.
Now" quickly changing his tone, along
what line do you want me to be trans
formed from the ornamental to the use

Along the highest line of dust away
up there on top" gasped Lala, pushing
her dust cloth among the books.
That support won't hold us both,
will it?" asked Romney testing the
second shelf.
Not at all, retorted the miniatc-e
lady, 1T takes so much more to support
man than a woman"
For half an hour, delicious half-hour
to the professor of history, the two
worked and laughed together, its being
Lalia's turn to assist the maid in her
Saturdays busting. At last the small
senior stopped, fcather-duster in air
Have you heard of any other positions
for teachers, Professor Faulks?"
YES" he said hesitatingly, % brought
the letters along to see whether you wish
to apply. Here's one" He sat down
beside the window and drew an envelop
out of his pocket. This ais from a
principal up the private school.
He writes to state requirements: She

thereby become one of the leading powers
Of the world. He stated that 100000 chill
dren In the schools of Japan are compelled

the English and Chinese as well.
The fortunes alleged to have been inflicted
upon many of the subjects of Russia by

men of our colleges today have their eyes
on the so-called white shirt jobs instead
Of using their hands at hard work, which
he deplored. Many instances In the world
