THE NEW TEACHER
BY J. 3. AYRE&

The farmer looked at the slim, be-
specialized young man in front of him
and gave a contemptuous grunt.
so you're the new schoolmaster Of
Four Corners!" he said, ejecting q
quid Of tobacco from his mouth. Yes.
l guess I can board you. boarded the

why in advance?" inquired Mr..
Pendleton quietly.
Because you won't last a month"
answered Silas Prettyman. None Of
EN- does. Take the last schoolmaster,
now. He was a six-footer. Looked
like bull. Plenty Of nerve. too. But
he didn't last more'n six weeks. The
one before him gave up after two.
The one before him lasted three.
Three is about the limit and two is
the average. You see, Mr.. Pendle-
bury
"Pendleton, please" interposed the
schoolmaster.
"Pendleton, then. AS was saying,
three weeks is the limit. We have
some tough scholars in Four Corners"
In spite of his anticipations, Mr..
Pendleton's heart sank as he took his
place at the desk and saw a score Of
boys and girls shuttle in with broad
grins upon their faces. Four Corners
was a little mountain town in Ken
lucky. 1t was not the place Horace
Pendleton would have chosen for
making his pedagogic debut but for
the fact that the young mans lungs
had been giving him trouble, and the
doctor had ordered him to go West.
He had compromised on the mountain
village, whose keen, dry air rivaled
that Of Arizona.
The school consisted of boys and
girls of all ages, from Jim Smith, a
husky youth of some twenty years.
who was still struggling over the mys-
teries of long division, and Miss Susie
Conner, a farmers daughter, who at
tended principally to be a sort of ma.
tron to the little, ones, down to the
staid little ones of seven and eight
years. But Pendleton soon perceived
that Smith. and not he, was the leader
of the assemblage. When he gave the
signal, they followed him. For the
first day curiosity kept the bad ele-
ment In check.
1t was after school on that day that
Smith came insolently up to Pendle-
ton.
Say, you're the one-lunger, amt

new STREET COSTUME
GARMENT HAS THE APPEARANCE
OF A LONG COAT.
Not Suitable, Perhaps, for Al o''
mates. It Is undeniahly Handsome
and Has Been Given Warm
Welcome.

The popularity of the one-plece
frock has led to the making OF a stre.'
oo.tume thot looks like long coat
II Is a strange garment, almost medi-
eva, in its sin plicity, but it does ho'
.nnoaI n the woman who lives IN d
very cola climate; it is not quite warm
avoh for tho street and it Is too
warm for the house.
For autumn and spring In the nortn'
as we'll as in those climates WHICH
are moderately genial from Christmas

model is also used for ohe-plece

spoiled forever by them.
Both Jenny and Cheruit sent TO
America in September, this style OF
garment: at first. the women looked
askance at it, and then approvlngly.
One design shows a pointed yoke at
the shoulders. but excepting this
break in the line, the garment falls
in one piece to the hem, fastened in
front and belted in with sealskin to
match the round collar and broad
cuffs.
Beneath this slip is an unbound lin
ing Of black satin which is about an
inch shorter than the outer skirt and
is finished with a knife plating. This
lining shows when the outer skirt is
left unfastened, which, by the way,
is one of the vagaries Of the season.
Another frock, made on the same
plan, has a belt at the hips of broad
black silk braid and an arabesque Of
black soutache outlining the hem and
the side of the front. Ever so much
soutache is used this winter in
straight lines as in scroll design, on
satin, as well as serge and velours de
laine.
There are so many women who like

stand:"
Before Pendleton had recovered
from his surprise, Smith had slouched
away, leaving the young man gasping
at his pupils audacity.
"No corp'ral punishment" was the
slogan in -Four Corners, which prided
itself on being an enlightened com.
munity. But, even If such a method
OF discipline had been permitted, how
would it have been enforced?
The question was prompted by the
pandemonium that followed upon Mr..
Pendleton's resolute rejection of Jim
Smiths proposition. Everybody in
Four Corners knew that the new
schoolmaster would soon go the way
of his predecessors. The school board,
who secretly disapproved of educa.
ton, watched. matters with SNUG
smiles. Smith lounged insolently in
his seat: Smith talked with his neigh

Mr.. Pendleton, when the schoolmaster

Get out of the school? Say, yer
crazy. What'd get out for when I'm
having the time of my life here?'
There was one thing that kept the
| schoolmaster to his work. That was
Susie Conner. She had told him 1t
was a shame the boys did not behave
better. She had counseled an APP
peal to the board. A strong attach
ment had begun to dawn between the
young man and the pretty country
lass.

one day-they had begun unconscious
" to call each other by their first

DICTATES OF FASHION

The majority of sleeves are long.
Full circular skirts are limited at.
Some of the new suits have coats
with high necks.
The smartest tunics reach almost to
the skirt edge
Straight band shapes are among the
new collars
Fancy filet material are the most
fashionable veilings.
Flounced skirts have their flounces
rounded or pointed and bound with
silk or braid.
In some dresses the tunic and girdIe
are of Roman striped cloth and the
rest of plain color.

Before the day had elapsed every
body knew that Pendleton and susie
Conner were sweethearts.
Next day Smith cast aside all pre-
tense at discipline. His remarks-
made in glassware brief and pointed.

SUSIE
Mr.. Pendleton had been aware that
Smith had a calf-like attachment for
the girl, but it had never occurred 10
him to take him seriously.
He looked up hopelessly, and he
saw strange look in Susie's eyes. he
could not help interpreting it aright'
1t said: Are you man enough TO
prevent my being insulted and 10
stand up for me?"
Mean that, SMITH" asked Mr.. Pen

the floor.

rushed at him. Next moment he
found himself lying on the floor, the
blood issuing profusely from his nose.

to quiet the bully. He burst into
yell

shrieked I'll"

He yanked him from the floor and
grasped him with one hand by the
collar And Smith crept to the cor.

But when he reached his home Silas

Gossip is an incurable ecumenicai

once suggested that education would
exterminate the nefarious malady,
but sad to relate it was soon discov-
cred that the more fluent the patient
the more destructive the disease. AS
q matter of fact all humanity are suf-
ferers of this loathsome disease-also
parrots; and is found in every COM
munity and seems to inhabit eternity.

wishes to donate million dollars on
behalf OF charity all he has to do is
raise the price of oil for few minutes
and what it takes to expand his halo
is forthwith Immediately realized.
Imagine John d. being submissively
induced to repeat one OF his benevolent
stunts on behalf of gossip. Never!

SANDER of the gossiper!
Friend when the gossiper invades
the ranks of your hearing and endeav
ors to stab some one in the back with
his or her poison tongue smeared with
gossip, don't believe word of it..
