PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

The last months attendance was
the lowest we have had this year.
The three rooms having the highest
percentage for the month are as fol.
lows: Seventh Grade 96.6; High
School DAB; Room . North Ward
02.2. Four other rooms have an at
tendance within three-tenths per.
cent, or closer, ~ 92,2. The attend
ance for the entire school was sg7.
The attendance has not only been
poor but the number Of tardies has
also increased. The high school IL
still the biggest offender in this re-
spect though not quite so great as
last month. Number OF tardies fo'
the high school 20; all other grade
lcolorcd excepted 10; colOred -.
It's very probable that the bad wea-
ther had much to do with the low at
tendance and also the tardies. We
hope TO be able to make n better re-
port in this respect next month.
The boys basket bali team, nc
companied by Principal Meyers,
joarneyed to Fredericktown last
Saturday to play the high school.
They report n very interesting and
delightful time but were unable to
claim the victory. Leslie Mitchell
/ refereed the game aud received much
| praise for the fairness Of his dcci-
I sions. The second team will play
| Flat River high second team Satur-
day evening on home grounds. The
boys will appreciate your presence
at the game
The subject of spelling was the
chief subject for discussion at the
teachers meeting last week. This
is now receiving more of the atten-
tion of the teachers than here to
fore, and til" improvement in many
respects is quite marked. The stand
ard ton a perfect lesson mas been
raised somewhat in order to over
come u uch Of the carclcssncss that
pupils were indulgimg in. This seem
ed hard on the pupils at first, bat we
believe they will appreciate it when
| they are ahl" to reach the same de.
gree of perfection, under the higher
standard. Many of them have al
ready been able to do it aud have
expressed themselves as well pleas
ed, II * not much harder to get a
lesson well than 10 halt get it when
once we have been able to establish
such standard, to say nothing Of
the pleasure derived as result Of
having done thing we'll, and the
increased ability for usefulness
which will necessarily follow.
Visitors last week were Mcsdames

CHAPTER V.
One Use For a MonocI.e

Sedgwick, who had followed the i'm
promptu cortege with his vision, was
brought up sharply by the glare of a
pair of eyes outside the nearest win
dow. The eyes were fixed Oh his own.
Their expression was distinctly malev-
olent. Without looking round, Sedg-
wick said in low voice.
"Kent!"
No answer came.
'Kent!" said the artist a little
louder
"Huh?" responded a muffled and
distracted voice behind him.
See here for a moment"
There was neither sound nor move
ment from the scientist.
AN Indian-looking chap outside the
window is trying to hypnotize me, or
something of the sort"
This information, deemed by its
given to be of no small interest, elicit
ed not the faintest response. Some
what piqued, the artist turned, to be-
hold his friend stretched on a bench,
with face to the ceiling, eyes closed,
and heels on the raised end. His lips
moved family. Alarmed lest the heat
had been too much for him, Sedgwick
bent over the upturned face. From
the moving lips issued a musical
breath which began its career softly
as Raff's Cavatina and came to an in
glorious end In the strains of Honey
Boy. Sedgwick shook the whistler in
sistently.
"Eh? What?" cried Kent, wrench.
ing his shoulder free. GO away!
Can't you see I'm busy?"
"Pll give you something to think
about. Look at this face CT cigar

gone!"

open road beyond the village Sedg-
wick remarked:
Queer line the sheriff is taking"
Poor Schlager!" said Kent, chuck
ling. mo other line is open to him.
He's in tight place. But it isn't the
sheriff that's worrying me-"
Who, then?"
"Gansett jim"
What did the sheriff mean by ask
ing Gansett Jim where he was the
night of the murder?"s
MURDER" said Kent quizzily.
What murder?"
THE murder of the unknown wo-
man, of course"
81 don't know that there was any
murder"
"Oh, we'll, the death of the unknown
woman, then"
81 don't know that there was any
unknown woman"
Quit it! From what you do know,
Wnat DO you think the sheriff meant"
What do you Think"
81 think that Gansett Jim killed her
and is trying to turn suspicion on me-"
"Humph!"
But if the sheriff knows where Gan
sett Jim was at the time of the killing,
he can't suppose me guilty. I won
der if he really does believe me
guilty?"
eff he does, he doesn't care. His
concern is quite apart from your
guilt"
ITS too much for me-" confessed
the artist.
And for me. That is why l am
going back to the village"
But thought you were frightened"
IF l stayed away from everything
that alarms me-" said Kent, "Td never
have a tooth filled or speak to wo-
man under seventy. I'm a timid soul,
Sedgwick; but l don't think l shall
be in any danger in Annalaka so long
as I'm alone. Here we are. Out with
youl I'll be back by evening"

"Whah was he the night of the
killin'?" cried Gansett jim "Ast him.
Whah was he?"
Where was you, if it comes to
that?" retorted the sheriff, and bit his
lip with scowl.
At that betrayal Chester Kent's eye
lids flashed up, and instantly dropped
again into somberness.
This hearing is adjourned" twit-
tered the medical officer. Burial of
the unknown will take place at once.
All are invited"
Invitation respectfully declined"
murmured Sedgwick to Kent. 81 don't
know that Pm exactly frightened; but

country"
'Well, I'm exactly frightened" re-
piled Kent in the same tone. II want
to run-which would probably be the
end of us. Curious things about those
handouts, isn't it?" he went on In a
louder and easier conversational
voice.
During their slow progress to the
door he kept up running comment,
which Sedgwick supported with equal
GOODNESS. The crowd, darkling and un-
decided, pressed around them. AS
they went through the doorway, they
were jostled by a sudden pressure,
following which Kent felt touch on
his shoulder He turned to face the
sheriff.
Better get out of town quick" ad-
yised Schlager in half whisper.
Thank you," said Kent in clear
and cheerful voice. Where can | get

"Sterretts grocery keeps the best, "
said some informant back of him.

Much Obliged" said Kent and
strolled leisurely to his car, follow

seats and started slowly through the
crowd, Sedgwick inquired earnestly:

Kent. Il wish l could think up o

casually we get out of town, the less
likely we are to be followed by flight
of rocks. l don't want a perfectly
good runabout spoiled by mob"
Both of them went into Sterrett't
store, where Kent earned the reputa
tion from Sterrett of being "awfu

and came out into a considerable par
of the populace, which had followed
