The teaching under a democracy
must be different from that under

formed our methods Of teaching
somewhat in the schools, but we
have not carried the reform to the
bottom as yet. We still call the
teacher the master. This is . relic
of paternalism. Gu American
system of education has not only
the ~fallacies Of paterualism in it;it

and you will find as charming a

Because the students are trained

CHAPTER I.-Continued.


For a full minute the girl vented her
anger on Og, while he stood sulky but
patient, waiting for an opening to de-
fend himself. When he obtained this
he seemed to the two On the deck of
the sloop to appeal to the big man, who
said q word or two. but was cut short
by the girl. Her voice, passionate and
Indignant, reached the deck, but her
words.
THAT should be Flaxia McMur-
rough!' the colonel murmured thought
fully, and Uncle Ulick. He's little
changed, whoever's changed. She has
a will, 1t seems, and good Impulses"
The big man had begun by frowning
on o'Sullivan Og. But presently he
then he laughed; at last he made q
joke himself. The girl turned on him,
but he argued with her. A man held
UP q tub for inspection, I'M though
she struck 1t pettishly, II was plain that
h was shaken. O'Sullivan Og pointed
to the sloop, pointed to his house, grim
ned. The ~listners on the deck caught
the word dues and the peal OF
laughter that followed.
Captain Augustin understood naught
of what was going forward. But the
man beside him who did, touched his
sleeve: 1T were well to speak to her"
he said.
"Who is she?" the skipper asked i'm
patiently. What has h to do with
ft?" ...
They are her people, the colonel
answered s~imply-''or they should be.
II she says yea 1t is yea, and IL she
says nay 1t is nay. Or so IL should be
as far al a league beyond Morristown."
Augustin waited for no more He
was still In a fog, but he saw a ray
of hope. This was the chatelaine, 1t
AAAnaA1 II. IL A.~1Ta1 80 49, AE1A .
Alas, he ventured too late. AS his
feet touched the slippery stones of the
jetty the girl wheeled her horse about
with an angry exclamation, shook her
whip at O'Sullivan Og-who winked the
moment her back was turned-and can-
tered away up the hill. On the in
slant the lei picked UP the kegs they
had dropped, a shrill cry passed down
the line and the work was resumed.
But the big man remained and the
skipper, with the colonel at his elbow,
made for him through the half naked
kernes. He saw them coming, how
ever, guessed their errand and, with
plain intention Of avoiding them, he
turned his horses head. q
But the skipper, springing forward,
was in time to seize the stirrup. Sir"
he cried, this is robbery. Nom de
Dieu, IL is thievery."
The big man looked down al him
with temper. "Oh, by heaven, you
must pay your dues" he said. ooh,
yes, o must pay your dues"
But this Is robbery" "
Sure it's no that you must be say

The colonel put the skipper on one
side. by your leave" he cried, one
word. You don't know, SIR, who ] am,

II know you must pay your Dues"
Uncle Ulick answered, parrot like. "Oh,
yes, you must pay your dues!'' He was
clearly ashamed OF his role, for he
shook off the colonel's hold with a pet
fish gesture, struck his horse with his
stick and cantered over the hill.
'Vaurien," cried Captain Augustin,
,haking his fist after him, but he might
as weel have sworn at the moon.

UNIQUE PLEA FOR A
PARDON BY PRISONER
I'm the Only Guilty One
Here" a Kansas Convict
Wrote Gov. Stubs.

Topeka, Kan--Governor Stubs re-
eeived a peculiar letter recent
ly from a prisoner in the Kansas
penitentiary. Usually the letters the
governor receives are that the prisoner
Ii not guilty at all, or IL guilty he did
not mean TO do it and Just forgot him
self, or let HIS temper get away with
him. But there is n prisoner who
offered a different reason for the gov
ernor letting him out Of the prison.
Here is his letter:
Judging from what 1 have read and
from conversations held with prison
Grs In this penitentiary, ! have arrived
at h conclusion hat I am about the
only guilty scamp in this place. ! can
not plead innocence. ! can't write ~
classical poem and i have no flowers
blooming in the conservatory of my
soul You lave no idea how lonesome
this leaves me. Better kick me out OF
here. lest / corrupt the morals OF the
institution"
Every man in the penitentiary who
believes himself wronged or innocent
is convinced that he would be able to
do society much good IL turned out by
the governor. But a long time ago the
governors learned that some of the
prisoners had a mistaken idea OF the
innocence or usefulness, SO it il seldom
that a governor pays much attention to
this kind OF letters. Somehow or other
1t has become noised about that Cover
nor Stubs would encourage frankness
in prisoners and that he expected at
least some evidence Of reform to con-
vince him that some of the criminals
were worthy of executive clemency.
Action May Result in the Case.
The governor receives all sorts of
letters from prisoners, both in the
prison and In the reformatory, every
day, but this one received recently, was
the most novel one OF which there is
any record In the governors office. The
letter contains much other matter re-
ferring to this prisoners case n that
quoted was only a part OF the letter.
The governor declined to give out the
name OF the prisoner. The prisoners
are allowed to write only q certain
number Of letters each month. As they
can write only M letter to the gov
ernor each one tries to make his letter
as effective as possible and nearly each
one has his own ideas about what
would appeal most strongly to the gov
ernor.
Governor Stubs is considerably in
terested In the man who wrote the let
ter and It is possible that some action
may be taken in regard to his case.
