Hard on sohooIm q sters.

It is q notorious fact that schOolmas-
ters were once regarded as servile
class and treated accordingly. Their
remuneration was ridiculously small,
often amounting only to the right OF
living from house to house. But 1t Is
doubtful If Il more peculiar method OF
paying schoolmasters was ever devised
than that which prevailed In certain
English counties, notably Cumberland,
during the early eighteenth century
Just before the beginning of Lent the
boys would arrange to hold a cock
fight, and each boy would make pay
ment to the master for the privilege.
The "cock penny was regarded a le-
gitimate item in the masters income

Il Blew.

When British battleshlp was lying
IN New York harbor a lieutenant OF
the visiting vessel was discussing
rough weather with group Of Ameri-
can naval officers, one Of whom re-
peated the tale OF the day that was so
windy that the crows had TO walk
home.
"Still, that wind was nothing TO one
we encountered In the bay Of Bis
cay" laughed the lieutenant why,

then 1t blew the anchors OF the but

about twenty years old, acted as u

Washington and the enemy's boats on
the lower Potomac. carrying his dis

boots and sometimes between the

puzzled. Queer incidents happen IN
police courts daily, and the most un-
expected scientific and technical points
are elucidated in the effort to secure
an accurate comprehension Of matters
In dispute But never during his long
tenancy of the court had he been called
on to deal with case Of this nature.
He smiled in his perplexity.
"We all remember the copybook
maxim, Let justice be done though
the heavens fall" he said, but here
it is clearly shown that the ideal is not
easily reached
OF course every one laughed, and the
reporters piled pen and pencil with re-
newed activity. Here was sensation
with vengeance-wOrth all the dis
play it demanded In the evening pa
pers. Headlines would whOop through
a quarter of column, and Philips
meteor again run through space.
The boy himself was apparently the
most d.sinterested person present.
While listening to Isaacstein, he again
experienced the odd sensation of aloof-
ness, of lofty domination, amid a CON-
monplace and insignificant environ
ment. The man was clever, Of course,
but his cleverness was that of the text
book, u dry record Of fact which need
ed genius to illuminate the printed
page And these lawyers, reporters, po-
licemen, with the vacuous background
of loungers, the friends and bottle hold
ers of thieves and drunkards-the mag
istrate, even, remote in his dignity and
sense of power-what were they to
him?-of no greater Import than the
paving stones of the streets to the pull
sating life of London as it passed.
The magistrate glanced at lsaacstein
and stroked his chin. Isaacstein gazed
intently at the packet Of diamonds and
rubbed his sinuous nose. There was Il
deep silence in court, broken only by
the occasional shuttle Of feet among the
audience at the back-a shuttle which
stopped instantly when the steely
glance Of a policeman darted In that
direction.
At last the magistrate seemed to
make up his mind to a definite course
of action.
"There Is only one person present"
he said, "who can throw light on this
extraordinary case, and that is the boy
himself"
lie looked at Philip, and all eyes
quickly turned toward the thin, ragged
figure standing upright against the rail
that shut him off from the well OF TIE
court. The professional people present
noted that the magistrate did not al
lude to the strange looking youth as
"the prisoner"
What was going to happen? Was
this destitute urchin going to leave tie
court with diamonds in his pocket
worth 100000? Oddly enough, no enc
paid heed to Philips boast that lac
owned far more than that 1mo"nt. 1t

that evoked wonder. And had not

preserve his secret, how hone to
4 prevail against the majesty Of
the British law as personified by the
serene authority of the man whose
penetrating glance now rested Oh him?
His was a dour and stubborn nature,
though hardly nodded as yet in rigid
lines. He threw back his head and
frightened his lips. He would cling to
his anonymity to the bitter end. no
matter what the cost. But he would
not lie. Never again would he conde-
scend to adopt subterfuge.

For the first time the magistrate
heard the correct and well modulated
flow Of Philips speech. If anything. 1t
made more dense the mist through
which he was trying to grope his way.
"What do you mean?" he asked.

This outburst fairly electrified the
court. Philip could not have adopted
more domineerlng tone were he the
governor of the Bank Of England
charged with passing counterfeit half
crown. The magistrate was as sur
prised as any.
