the story goes, the teacher, Charles

he was told not 20 return until the fol-
lowing noon. He replied that if he
could not return in the morning he
would not come at all He did not
present himself at school the following
day.

playing a tattoo on her palm. She
refused TO present her hand, and the
blows from the stick descended thick

more than her American girlhood could
endure, and she made a catch-as-catch-
