 Well. Martha, seems to me 'twouldn't do any harm at any rate. Might be worth tryin'. Twill depend good deal on the way the doctor happens to be feelin'."
 Meanwhile. Miss Leslie Grayson, that new schoolmarm." went serenely on her way. not wholly unconscious of the commotion that she was creating in the little village.
 To this village. where she had spent several years of her childhood. fresh from college and bubbliAs over with enthusiasm. came Leslie Grayson. She saw with wondering. pitiful eyes the narrow, monotonous life of these peo- pie. and her heart grew fairly a.trem- ble as she longed to show them all the beauty and sweetness that surrounded them. Oh. the boundless out-of.door world, with it's wondrous nature studies. The glory and delight of 1t was all theirs-and they did not know 1t. Here was the corner where she could work; here. the opportunity for which she had longed: so, with light heart she made her plans. And she began with the children.
 The result of her interesting expert. ment at the end of the first month was very gratifying. Already she had won the goodwill of every scholar: and instead of the studied indiffer- ence so impossible to combat. people were beginning to open their eyes, stare. wonder and talk
 At the close of the Friday afternoon exercises, Miss Grayson omitted her usual reading from Miss Alcott's Lit. tie Women" and talked to the chil- dren instead

 The children looked at each other with pleased faces.

When first came here thought this room the most dismal place in the world. but even in this short time we. have succeeded in making 1t neat and pleasant

 Thsn she told the children of her plans.
 Thirtyfour white ribbon bows were proudly displayed upon the streets of Fairfield that night; s4 busy little brains dreamed ell sorts of possible and impossible plans and waited im- patiently for Monday morning. each hoping to be the first to consult teacher
 Curious eyes peeped through half closed shutters to watch the -unheard- of doinis- of this busy band as they scaupersd here and there after school keurs and on Saturday afssrnoons

Carters field was changed from ar unsightly dump heap to a green hol. low over which. now that the rubbish was removed. kindly nature scattered twinkling-eyed daisies, sweet clover and otherswild beauties.
 The churchyard paths were weeied, the grass moved. and. obtaining per. mission from the trustees, they made garden of hardy flowers around the lamp-post. Indeed, the children scat. tered flower seeds in every nook and corner of Fairfield.
 The result of their work was soon apparent. Morning-glories climbed riotously into cedar trees by the way. side; four o'clocks lazily shook their petals at the appointed hour in unex. pected places.
 Gradually the spirit of improvement spread during Miss Grayson's regime. Rickety fences were torn down. front yards graded, buildings repaired and painted. and shade trees set out along Main street. Flags floated over school house and post office, while the citi. dens seemed to take more interest in all town affairs.
 One afternoon near the close of the term, Dr. Whitcomb sauntered into the schoolroom. Miss Grayson was justly proud of her scholars. for never had recitations gone more smoothly than during the hour of this visit. Tho doctor shook his head approvingly from time to time.
 "A model school. Miss Leslie" he said. taking up hat and cane to de part. after the scholars had filed quiet ly ont. You have inherited your Grandfather Grayson's knack for man.

 Energetic Miss Martha Pryor opened the picket gate in front of the Gordon homestead, closing it with a sharp click that made Mrs. Gordon glance out from the fower-screened window at her approaching guest.
 Good afternoon. Martha!" she ex- claimed heartily as Miss Pryor en. tered. bringing with her a gust of fresh air. Do take your things right on and sit down."
 .''I can't stop long. but I thought I'd just run over for spell. seein' l had the work done up." said Miss Pryor.
 I'm glad you come, Martha. Folks in Fairfield alnt half neighborly enough"
 After discussing various minor mat ters, Miss Martha held forth upoh the subject uppermost in her mind. which was, indeed. the sole object of her visit
 Have you heard about the goin's on over to the schoolhouse since that new schoolmarm come, Maria?" she asked in an impressive tone that con taincd unspoken volumes.
 Mrs. Gordon frightened visibly. T ain't heard no particulars, as you might say, but James sister. Sarah Ann. was sayln' last night that her young ones was head over heels in love with Miss Grayson. Now call that bad sign. I'm afraid she's goin' to turn out kind of easy goin'. without much notion of government"

 "The people do not approve of the Friday exercises, because the children hear stories written by our best au- thors, recite poems by Longfellow. Whittier and Eugene Field, and com pose little stories of their own. Yet this is important work, Dr. Whitcomb. and the Improvement society work is all done outside of school hours. If people would visit the school, they would see that each pupil is learning rapidly. But protest against all this ill-natured. unfounded gossip. If con- sent to remain next year, shall carry out still further plans for the good of this school. Without neglecting regu- lar work, we shall have easy lessons in botany and natural philosophy. It Is best to understand matters: do you heartily approve of my idea, Dr. Whit comb?"
 Most certainly. The three Rs are no longer sufficient for Fairfield boys and girls. I am sorry you hear the gossip. I get so tired of complaints and advice that sometimes am rather sassy, as my grandson Rob would say Stun your ears with cotton next year. Miss Leslie, but keep on. for pity's sake. keep on."

chances to cross the line.
Moreover, these figures do not tell
how many have surreptitiously entered
the country, nor how many have en-
