like q 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-

"Pendleton. please" interposed the
schoolmaster.
"Pendleton, then. AS I 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 shuffle in with broad
grins upon their faces. Four Corners
was 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. q
husky youth Of some twenty years,
who was still struggling over the mys.
teries Of long division, and Miss Susie
Conner, q farmers daughter. who at
tended principally to be sort Of ma

staid little ones Of seven and eight

that Smith. and not he, was the leader

signal. they followed him. For the
drst day curiosity kept the bad ele-
ment In check.

slogan in Four Corn ers, 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 70 the way

There was one thing that kept the
