Giving room" of the shack when the
stage, dust covered and numbering,
lrew up in front of the door. There
was a girl on the seat by the driver.
She leaned forward impetuously.
This is Ell Paso, Mr.. Keith's ranch,

PRODUCTION. 'I'm Drusilla Cameron,
and I've come to surprise my brother

And before the astonished Keith
could reply she had scrambled down
over the wheel, while the stage driver
grinned widely in delight at the sltua-
ton and in admiration of the girl.
She was all in brown, from her pom
gee dust coat to her low shoes. Her
hair was chestnut color, and so were
the eyes that looked out frankly from
under the rim of her smart travelling
hat.

full glance at the helter skelter supper
table and the walls, where leather
saddles and skins and gayly eolored
magazine covers jostled for promi-
nence. Rogers, who had sat speech
less coffee cup in hand, at her first en-
trance, now went to help the driver
with her luggage, while Keith, rising
to his duties rs host, bade her welcome
and hung up her hat and coat on peg
on the wall. He apologized profusely
for the appearance of the supper table

and forks, from which every vestige of
silver was fast disappearing, but Dru-

A week later she went east, and her
going left a great gap in the lives of
the three men at El Paso. Ned per

to go home in November. Rogers open

Drusllla had given her promise to

Even Ned grumbled as day after day
went by and no word came from her
save telegram saying she had ar
rived safely and few picture postal

Rogers made excuses for going to the

Ned's of gossip and sisterly affection,

TEACHERS
PENSIONS.

Everybody admits that the teach
ers in the public schools of Pennsyl-
vania are underpaid. They get no
more, as a rule, than the laborer on
the streets, and yet they are people
of culture, who have devoted years of
their lives in fitting themselves for
their duties and engage in work that
has few promises in the future, even
as it has had no rewards in the past
The men are forsaking the profession
from year to year, and the females
seem likely to hold possession of the
field decade or two hence. The rea-
son for this is that men can find more
lucrative employment, while only a
limited number of women can. Even
the femals have taken it up from ne
cessity quite as much as from any
other reason, and they, too, drop out
so soon as a husband or something
better offers.
But, for all this, we see no reason
why they should be fastened on the
State Treasury as pensioners. Why
more than any one else? -? Their en-
trance on their life work was not
more compulsory than their entrance
upon any other employment. Their
continuance is at their own will and
pleasure, and they can drop it when
ever they see proper to do so. They
are tied down to no longer term of
service than six or ten months, and
many even break their contracts
when better wages are offered from
some other quarter. What, then,
constitutes their special claim above
all other workers upon the State S
bounty? Their work is a high and
most worthy one, we all admit, but it
is not forced upon them. 1t is not
harder than most other work. The
fact that they crowd into it seems to
show that it is more desirable than
most other occupations. Even though
the pay is inadequate, why do they
not try something that pays better ?
Is it because they can command no
higher wages at anything else? Then,
again, we pension no other class of
laborers. Special pensions are some
times awarded for extra services, but
none are pensioned because they are
a class by themselves. The argument,
it seems to us, is not well founded.
The evils of promiscuous pensioning
are notorious. England is a victim
OF the evil, and she is doing the best
she can to get rid Of it, for it is cost
ing her great sums. Schools absorb a
large portion of the Commonwealth s
revenues. We must draw the line
somewhere as we 90 along. The true
remedy is to pay teachers adequate
salaries.
