The principal lent a substitute. Room
Is was deserted by it's sovereign; the
pencils were deserted by their monitor;
and Mrs. Aaronsohn, Miss Bailey and
Eva Gonorowsky, official interpreter,
set out for the nearest drug store where
a telephone might be. They inspected
several unclaimed children before, in
the station of a precinct many weary
blocks away they came upon Yetta.
She was more dirty and bedraggIed
than she had ever been, but the charm
of her manner was unchanged, and
suspended about her neck she wore a
pOliceman's button.
'One of the men brought her in here
at 10 o'clock last night" the man be-
hind the blotter informed Miss Bailey,
While Mrs. AaronSohn ShoWered abuse
and caress upon the wanderer. "She
was straying around the Bowery, and
she gave us a great game of talk about
her father bein' bird. 1 guess he is"
MY papa und birds is on the country
l likes l shall go there" said Yetta
from the depths of her mothers en-
brace
There, that's what she tells every
one. She has card there with Chris

I'm monitors. l should go all places

und teacher writes it on pieces from
paper. On'y 1 amt want should come
on no cops house. 1 likes 1 should go
on the country for see my papa und
BIRDS und flowers. l says like that on
a cop-I shows him the paper even
und he makes l shall come here on the
cops house where my papa don't
stands und birds don't stands und
flowers don't stands"
when next you want to go to the
country" said teacher, "you ought to
let us know. You have frightened us
all dreadfully, and that is a very
naughty thing to do. If you ever run
away again | shall have to keep the
promise l made to you long and long
ago when you used to come late to
school. 1 shall have to tolerate you"
But Yetta was undismayed. "I amt
got no more a scare over that" said she
with soft smile toward the brass
tuttoned person behind the blotter.
"Und 1 amt got no scare over cops
neither; l never in mine world seen
how they makes all things what is po-
lite NIT me und gives me should eat"
We'll" cautioned teacher, you must
never do 1t again." and turned her at

flight of Yetta Aaronsohn.
Say" whispered Eva, and there was
a tinge of jealousy in her soft voice;

ing a dirty but reverential finger to-
ward her new divinity. Il guess may
be l turns me the dress around. But

is awful stylish. He's got 'em."
Think shame how you say" cried
Eva, with loyal eyes upon the neatly
buttoned and all unsuspecting back of
Miss Bailey; "ain't you seen how is

"Ain't I monitor off of it?" demanded
Yetta. Sure l know how is it. On'y

"Out your mammal" Eva remon-
strated.

don't needs my mamma should go by
my side. AIn't you said I could go all

teacher gives me papers NIT writings!
Sure could you," Eva repeated sol
emnly "There aint no place where
you couldn't to go init 1t.
"Tll go on the country" said Yetta.
That evening Mrs. Aaronsohn joined
her neighbors upon the doorstep for
the first time in seven years. For
Yetta was lost. The neighbors were
comforting but no resourceful. They
all knew Yetta; knew her to be sensl-
BILE and mature for her years even ac-
cording to the eXacting standard of the
east side. She would presently re-
turn, they assured the distraught Mrs.
Aaronsohn, and pending that happy
event they entertained her with de-
tails of the wanderings and home com
ings of their offspring. But Yetta did
not come. The reminiscent mothers
talked themselves into silence, the de-
serted babies cried themselves to sleep.
Mrs. Aaronsohn carried them up to bed
she hardly knew the outer aspect of
her own door-and returned to the
then deserted doorstep to watch for her
first-born. One by one the lights were
extinguished, the sewing machines
stopped and the restless night of the
quarter closed down. She was afraid
to go even as far as the corner in
search of the fugitive. She could not
have recognized the house which held
her home.
All her hopes were centered in the
coming of Miss Bailey. When the
children of happier women were set
ting out for school she demanded and
obtained from one of them safe con-
duct to room 18. But teacher. when
Eva Gonorowsky had interpreted the
tale of Yetta's disappearance, could
suggest no explanation.
"She was with me until half past
three. Then she and Eva walked with
me to the corner. Did she tell you,
dear, where she was going?"
Teacher yiss ma'an. She says she
goes on the country for see her papa
und birds und flowers"
When this was put into Jewish for
Mrs. Aaronsohn she was neither COM
forted nor reassured. Miss Bailey was
puzzled but undismayed. "WeIl find
her." she promised the now fearful
mother. II shall 90 with you to look

Perhaps the most remarkable vol
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August. 1855. at the Is
land OF Krakatoa. In the strait Of
Sunda. Streams OF volcanic dust were
thrown seventeen miles high, and more
than a cubic mile Of material was ex.
PEELED from the volcanic crater. The
air waves started by the eruption trav-
sled around the earth seven times.
The noise was heard at Macassa, 600
miles away; at Borneo. 1.116 miles dis
tant; In Western Australia, 100 miles
away. and even at Rodagues, distant
more than 1900 miles. The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out Of the
crater made the entire circuit Of the
earth before settling down and were
the cause Of the strange sunsets that
were observed for many months.-New
