Former Schoo, Teacher Recalls Days
When the Loved Poet Was
Her Pupil.

"Jingles" and not regular studies oc-
cupied the school hours of James
Whitcomb Riley. the noted Hoosier
poet, according to Mrs. "Tibby" Ul-
rey, seventy three years old, of Athens,
Tenn, who is visiting with Mrs. s. A.
Rice of Covington, KY, the Cincinnati
Concentration states.
'In the year 1S6O-61, when l taught
in the subscription school at Green
field, Ind, Riley was one Of my pupils.
and. although he was good student.
he never carried off the honors Of his
class.
His chief delight was to hide be-
hind some other pupil and compose
'jingles,' as he called them, and when
caught in the act always explained
that he had to write, as the verses
were always going through his mind.
Composition came natural to him
and he would stop in the midst OF
task to jot down some little verse.
When he was about eighteen years old
he ran away with travelling medicine
show and later painted signs on fences,
but would stop work suddenly to
sprawl out on the grass by the road
side and jingle"
Mrs. Ulrey attended the celebration
in honor of the poet which was recent
ly held in indianapolis and she and her
former pupil spent several hours to-
gether recalling the old schooldays.

American Sea Poet.

Now that John Masefield has come
to be the poetic interpreter of life at
sea to his generation of Britons, 1t is
interesting to see an American poet,
Lincoln Colcerd, rising to be the same
for his countrymen. Beginning his
career on a vessel navigating Cape
Horn, he comes of five generations OF
seagoing Maine folk. His boyhood
was spent on ship sailing the seven
seas. so that now, when he comes to

Valuable ELABORATION.

Capt. Joseph e. Bernier, polar ex-
plorer in the service of the Canadian
government for a number of years,
recently returned from a cruise of
more than 1000 miles through the
Arctic archipelago, during which he
placed many new islands, bays and
promontories on the map. During his
exploration work he has charted over
100000 square miles of islands in the
far North, and has discovered many
records of Arctic expeditions. He
has been commissioned to establish a
force of the mounted police in Hudson
bay and to take possession of the Arc
tic archipelago between the region OF
141 degrees west to so degrees west
and all the adjacent islands as far ls
80 degrees north latitude. Captain
Bernier's great ambition is to journey
to the North pole, an undertaking
which he believes he can accomplish
with no great difficulty when the op-
perfume time arrives

Wild Things Pest in France.

The prohibition imposed by the
French government upon hunting has
caused wild animals and birds to null
tiply SO rapidly during this summer
that crops in the fields and in orchards
and gardens in various forest regions
have been ravaged. The menace has
become so serious that the govern
ment authorities are now killing rab-
bits. hares, pheasants and other ami
mails and birds which have fed upon
the growing crops. The killing is done
ON specified days by those in the COM
munes who have proper authorization.
The huntsmen act collectively. no indi-
siduaI sportsman being allowed to go
out for game Guns are not used in
the work except under the supervision
of gendarmes. and then only when 9TH
er means of disposing of the game,
such as traps and ferrets, are not avail
able. Wherever possible, the game is
taken alive, and transferred to other
parts of the country for restocking
purposes.

She fell silent a moment, standing
beside him.

soul, Sandry." she said at last, ear
Hestly, and they tell me that you

do to help?"
There was in her voice the simple
cry Of a sympathy so intense that 1t
was anguish, and Sandry's lips tight
ened in the darkness.
For heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding of the lawless thrill
that she was ever capable of sending

CHAPTER XVII.
A Hard Knock.

Il was a sweet spring day, blue
arched and fitful-aired, with riot of
bird songs in the pines when the little
cavalcade bore Walter Sandry up the
vivid valley.
They took him up the slope and
into the office and held him while ST.
letz flew to the house for many more
blankets to pile high on the spring
cot, and presently they laid him,
sadly broken thing, upon it. The color
had drained from the dark face of the
girl, and her hands, shut hard, hung
tensely in the folds of her skirt as a
silence fell with the easing of the man
upon the bed.
Doctor" she said hoarsely; doc
tor" and could get no further.
The doctor had known her for the
several years he had been In the coun-
try and he studied her face a moment
before answering.
"Close call, Sletz," he said gently;
maybe he'll 1ive-maybe not"
For a moment she swayed upon her
feet, f1inging her hands across her
eyes, while her breath came in catch
ing gasps.
"But God sits above the seal" she
cried at last, tragically. ooh, Father,
spare him, for he is an unbeliever!"
At this tense moment Poppy Ord
way, who had been watching from the
background with parted lips and kim
ding eyes, stepped forward.
sDoctor-Mrs. Daily" she said,
"this terrible thing forces me to speak
of something which land Walter
also-had not intended to make known
at present. / am Mr.. Sandry's prom
tsed wife and as such l will take
charge OF him."
All her life had this woman taken
chances, sharp chances, fraught with
swift danger and trying to nerve and
skill but never had she done harder
thing than to face this little group of
Westerners whose instinct matched
her art.
They turned upon her in thunder
stricken silence-the doctor with a
clean amaze, the Indians in stoical
quiet, Ma Daily with an establishment
that was only the forerunner of antag-
onistic reaction. But of them all 1t
was the face of Siletz, fallen upon her
knees beside the cot, that shook the
heart in her, chilled her bold spirit.
1t lifted itself, painting, white and
awful, it's lips where the broken Sign
stood plainly out, fallen apart and col
orless. The dark eyes stared upon her
with an uncomprehending horror that
irritated her.

But here Siletz sprang up to her
slim height and her voice smote the
hushed room like the swapping OF q
taut wire.

once as she began, almost impercep-
tibly, to back out from the shore. The
ends of the chains were hauled up,
slipped forward and fastened securely
after the logs had been coaxed to-
gether as much as was possible with
rope and peavey and cant hook.
