THE SCHOOLMA'AM Girl
By MICHAEL J. PORTER
lcopyrlght, lall. b. Assoeiated Litsrarz -.

Gideon Rush noticed the girl before
they reached Chicago. though he was
a shy, Woodworking young man who
had really noticed few women In his
day.
But even Gideon could be pardoned
for looking again at the "schoolma'am
GIRL" as he quantity nicknamed her.
None but a school teacher would
have that air and that pencil. And
she was so young and so good to
look at that Gideon was reminded of
little girls who played at various
games, like keeping house, and going
visiting, and teaching school. She
was school teacher; and yet the
title wasn't distinctive enough. It
did not classify her. She was all girl,
too-young and sweet and happy. So
''school-ma' am girl it was.
Gideon. who was going out to Ore
gon to grow apples, saw that the
school-ma'am girl had a ticket much
like his own-a green one as long as
his arm
Was she going west. too, maybe to
Oregon? But no; that was inuosst-
BILE. He would lose her at Chicago,
where she would change to one of the
other hundred trains that shuttled
away in every direction.
1t was dark when they rumbled
into the bedlam called Chicago. She
seemed so little and alone and grave
some of her bright cheerfulness
had departed-that Gideon said re-
gretful farewell with his eyes. And
she answered the same way.
Gideon hurried into the sticky mid
summer night, because everyone else
was hurrying; found modest res
taurant in the glare and clatter; bur.
ried through a meal and trotted back
to the great station as the uniformed
man at the gate was bawling bis

He found his tourist sleeper Half
way down the aisle he paused, de-

We often told that one reason why we
should not go down to the inferior things is that
they never satisfy But the danger is that
they may satisfy us. boy at school may come
to like evil talk and unworthy stories When he
left home such things were unnatural and dis
tasteful to him, but he let himself down to them
little by little until anything else is uncongenia to
him. The inferior things have come to satisfy
him. popular lecturer told recently of having
heard one woman say to another as they came
away from an Ibsen play, Il do not like Ibsen.
He takes the hope out of life" If she spoke sim
cerely, 1t was only because she had brought her
self TO such an unnatural philosophy. She did
not begin life with unwholesome and untrue
view. In the days that were real and worthy it
was hope which made life beautiful. she
preferred hopelessness It was because her pref
erences had degenerated and that had begun to
satisfy her which formerly would have been the
very depth of darkness to her.
This is the peril of the souls freedom. The
very capacity to rise involves the capacity to de-
scend. Just go forward from any at
