Now that the season of social in

our energies in making very ex-

The school board has arranged
to have school conducted on
enough Saturdays to make up tw"
weeks of work. BY this arrange
ment the boys will be able to fl
nish up the work of their respec-
tive grades and yet be of much
help to the farmers. W. hope
every boy and girl will heed Pre-.
sident Wilson's advice and moi
leave off with the school work.
We can not afford to deprive the
young people of their schooling in
these critical times. The men and
women of tomorrow will need to
be we'll prepared. Now is the
u me to prepare them.
Everybody is thankful for the
warm days this week.
The seventh and eighth grade
pupils prepared some excellent
maps of Bon Homme County for
the corn show last week.
The sixth grade started on
their work in South Dakota histo-
ry last week. This is n new sub
ject for this grade. Heretofore
it was studied in the eighth.
Several towns i'm the state have
made arrangements with their
schools to hold school on Satur-
days, so that the children will he
let out earlier in the spring. This
is a good idea and ought to be put
in PRACTICE here too.

love of his city. To this the chancellor
observed that it would be arranged,
and the affair was over. To obviate
the difficulty of having the delegation
back down the long room, it was the
crown prince who departed first, with
the chancellor.
Late in the afternoon the king sent
for Prince Ferdinand William Otto.
He had not left his bed since the day
he had placed the matter of HedW1g' S
marriage before the council, and now
he knew he would never leave it.
There were times between sleeping
and waking when he fancied he had
already gone, and that only his weary
body on the bed remained. At such
times he saw Hubert, only, strangely
enough, not as a man grown, but as
small boy again; and his queen, but
as she had looked many years before,
when he married her, and when at last,
after months of married wooing, she
had crept willing into his arms.
So, awakening from a doze, he saw
the boy there, and called him Hubert.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto, feel
ing rather worried, did the only thing
he could think of. He thrust his warm
hand into his grandfather's cropping
one, and the touch of his soft flesh
reused the king.
The sister left them together, and
in her small room dropped on her
knees before the holy image.
In the kings bed chamber Prince
Ferdinand William Otto sat on a high
/ chair, and talked, but he viewed his
grandfather with alarm. His aunt had
certainly intimated that his running
away had made the king worse. And
he looked very i'll.
I'm awfully sorry, grandfather" he
said
For what?"

to do"

evil you tell me about Abraham
Lincoln?"
"Why?" The king was awake
enough now. He fixed the crown
prince with keen eyes.
"Well, Miss Braithwaite does not
care for him. She says he was not a
great man, not as great as Mr.. Glad
stone, anyhow. But Bobby-that's the
boy I met; I told you about him-he
says he was the greatest man who
ever lived"
"And who," asked the king, edo you
regard as the greatest man?"
Prince Ferdinand William Otto
fdgeted, but he answered bravely,
"You, sir"
"Humph!" The king lay still, smil-
ing slightly. SWELL" he observed,
"there are, of course, other opinions
as to that. However-Abraham Lin

dreamer, a visionary, but a great man.

offered, so far as he knew, no place
for a cave. 1t was a plain, the site
of the old wall, and now planted in
grass and flowers. He himself had
seen it graded and sown. A caveI

Outside the thicket Bobby besitated.

'But I guess you'H need your eyes.

Perhaps, had he known the |difficIa"
ties ahead, old Adelbert would not
have gone on. And, had he turned
back then, the history of a certain
kingdom of Europe would have bee9
changed. Maps too, and school books,
and the life story of small prince.
But he went on. Stronger than his
young guide, he did not crawl, but
bent aside the stiff and ungainlY
branches of the frs. He battled with
the thicket, and came out victorious.
He was not so old, then, or SO feeble.
His arm would have been strong for

Not a cave, it appeared at first. A
low doorway, barred with an iron graft

base Of side wall Of the gate, and
so heaped with leaves that it's lower
half was covered.
Bobby produced a key. 81 broke the
paddock that was on it, he explained.
II smashed it with a stone. But Z

Prolonged search produced the key.

It was strange.
Bobby was removing the leaf-mold
with his hands. ct was almost oil

dustriously scraping.
| The door swung in, silently, as
though the hinges had been recently
oiled; as indeed they had, but not by
the boy.
"It's rather dirty" he explained.
'You go down steps first. Be very
careful"
He extended an earthly hand and led
the old man down. "It's dark here,
but there's a room below; quite good
room. And have candles"
Truly, a room. Built of old brick,
and damp, but with free circulation
of air. Old Adelbert stared about him.
It was not entirely dark. a bit OF
light entered from the aperture at tho
head of the steps. By it, even before
Bobby had lighted his candle, he saw
the broken chair, the piece of old car
pet, and the odds and ends the child
] had brought.
Old Adelbert felt curiously shaken.

Thorpe. In off hours, after school, the
bow hung about the ticket takers
booth, swept now to a wonderful clean
illness and adorned within with pic
lures cut from the illustrated papers.
OutWardly Adelbert was peaceful.
The daughter now received his pension
in full, and wrote comforting letters.
But his resentment and bitterness at
the loss of his position at the opera
continued, even grew.
For while he had now even greater
wage, and could eat three meals, be-
sides second breakfast and afternoon
coffee. down deep in his heart old
Adelbert felt that he had lost caste.
The opera-that was setting! He
had been, then, of the elect. And now,
to what had he TALENT To selling
tickets for an American catchpenny
scheme, patronized by butchers, by
housemaids, by the common people
noisy, uproarious crowd, that never
theless counted their change with
suspicious eyes, and brought lunches
in paper boxes, which they scattered
about.
There was, however, a consolation.
He had ordered a new uniform. Not
for twenty years had he ventured the
extravaganza, and even now his eau
tious soul Quailed at the price. For
the last half dozen years he had
stumped through the streets, painfully
aware of shabbiness, of shiny back,
of patches, when, on the anniversary
of the great battle to which he had
sacrificed leg, the veterans marched
between lines of cheering people.
Now, on this approaching anniver-
sary, he could go peacefully, nay, even
proudly. The uniform was Of the best
cloth, and on it's second fitting showed
already it's marvel of tailoring.
On an evening a week before the
parade would occur, he got out his
boots. He bought always large boots
with straight soles, the right not much
different from the left in shape. Thus
he managed thriftily to wear, on his
one leg, first one of the pair, then the
other. But they were both worn now,
and because of the cost of the new
uniform, he could not buy others.
Armed with the better of the two
he visited the cobbler's shop, and there
met with bitter news.
