THE REMARKABLE SCHOOL
HOUSE.

you are going to go to school in
the most remarkable school-house in
the United States,'' remarked Uncle
Rob, as he put Mildred on the little
burro that was to carry her the mile
and a half to school. 1t was only
four months before that Mildred had
come to New Mexico, and it seemed
very queer to be riding to school on
a funny little long-eared burro, and
to be able to see jack-rabbits and
prairie dogs on the way. She asked
Uncle Rob if he meant that, but he
only shook his head and laughed.
You'll have to find out for your
SELF" he finally replied. ASK Miss
Wilson if she knows why the school
house is the most remarkable one in
the United States"
Miss Wilson, when Mildred reach
ed the small frame building and told
what Uncle Rob had said, was as
much mystified as Mildred had been.
THE most remarkable in the
United States,'' she repeated wonder
ingly. els it because we have ten
little boys and girls from all parts of
the country"
When Mildred came home, she
asked Uncle Rob if that were the
reason, but her uncle laughed and
shook his head.
Guess again." he chuckled. "Pll
tell you-if any one can find out be-
of criU
the school a fine new map of the
United States to hang on the wall"
I'VE must set our wits to work, -
Miss Wilson cried when she heard
that, 'for we need new map
badly"
Maybe" suggested Mildred, cts
because We can stand in the front
door and look at mountains in Mex
ico"
NO" Miss Wilson replied, De
cause there are other school-houses
here where one can do the same
thing"
Several weeks passed away, and
they were still wondering. The chill
dren hunted through their geogra-
plies in hopes of finding something
unusual about the place where the
school-house stood, and they studied
their histories to find out il any great
battle had been fought there. Miss
Wilson said she never had scholars
who gave as much time to geography
and history as these did.
One day, while she was hearing a
spelling lesson, she suddenly exclaim.
ed, oh" and then laughed at the
astonished faces of her pupils.

| after school for speaking out loud,
she smiled, "but it just came over me
like a fash why we are so remark.
! able"
They crowded around her at recess
time, begging her to tell them, but
she only smiled mysteriously and
shook her head. Keep on guessing
little longer" she said. Next Fri
day afternoon, If no one has found
out by that time, will tell you, just
before school closes"
1t was an exciting week The
children searched the ground around
the schoolhouse and asked all the
! old residents If they knew of any rea
son why the school-house was re
markable. Friday afternoon came al
last, however, and none of the chill
dren were any the wiser about 1t
They could hardly wait for Miss VIII
son to tell them.
Did you ever see the water run
of after there had been rain?" shs
began. The children shouted Yes
where did it run, Mildred?" wa,
her next question.
Down the hill away from tn.
!, school-house. Of course" answered
Mildred.

Mile they laid over two days for the
sake Of the dogs. and at Sixty Mile
Daylight's team was left with the
trader. Unlike Daylight. after the
terrible run from Selkirk to Circle
City. they had been unable to recup-
crate on the back trail. So the four
men pulled on from Sixty Mile with
fresh team of dogs on Daylight's 3
sled. The following night they
camped In the cluster of islands at
the mouth Of the Stewart. Daylight
talked town sites. and. though the
