SURPRISED BY A SHOW OF
AFFECTION,
CHAPTER LxVII.

L crushed the message in my hand.
Everett could not even send me a
telegram without giving. me an order.
DO not wait up for me-" he had said.
Well 1 wouldn't! Not because he had
told me not to, but because l didn't
want to. I'd try indifference. Evil
IDENTIFY Leola was perfectly indifferent
as to whether he liked what she did or
not. 1. too, would learn to be that
way, and would commence at once.
II he spoke about my going to bed,
I would tell him 1 had intended to
sit up, but had been too sleepy
then-another thought came. I would
defy him! 1 would rot only sit up.
but 1 would go to the station and meet
him. 1t would be after midnight, but
what difference did that make? 1t
would have made no difference to
Leola.
Perhaps Everett did care for me a
me to marry him? But it was a diff
ferent kind of love from that he had
given Leola. and I wanted that kind
the kind that never saw any faults
in me, and If he did. he would love
me too much, be too afraid of Offend
ing me. to mention them. So 1 de-
termined to meet him.
1 would do more. 1 would comb
my hair high on my head as Leola
had, and If he again objected, would
tell him L was going to do II as l
liked. If he never scolded Leola for
anything, why should he scold me? I
was just as much his wife as she had
been-eHen If 1 We're Number Two. I
had just as much right to have my
own way as she had, and 1 would have
it just as she had done. Then perhaps
, Everett would love me with the sa me
blind devotion (as I called 1t in my
| thoughts) he had given her.
Have a taxi here at 1880" I said
to Hetty. Il am going to the train to
meet Mr.. Graham"
Shall go with you?''
''No-I shall not need you"
Dinner over. I went upstairs and
arranged my hair as 1 liked it, and
| as Everett had ordered me not to
wear it. I felt oh. so wicked! and SO
happy that at last I had decided to
do as Leola did and please myself
| instead of everlastingly trying to
| please him.
I thought the evening never would
pass. I played little. read a little
and, to he perfectly honest. shivered
a little because of my daring.
1t was exactly 1880 when I heard
the hork of the taxi. I was all ready
but waited for Hetty to call me.

The fifth of September and Alice's
wedding day arrived. John came with
his presents and met the bride with
Louise, the bridesmaid, and their
mother at the church There was a
beautiful though simple wedding and
no reception afterward
The bride in going-away gown and
hat left with her husband for the
mountains Immediately after the cere-
mony. Mr.. and Mrs. Shuler left at
the same time for Oxbridge. 1t had
been a perfect day.
That same evening Louise remarked
TO her mother. II shouldn't be sur

of the state some day"
should be more surprised if she
didn't" calmly replied the mother.

Teetchers.

No skool is compieet without a
fletcher, and no fletcher is compleet
without skool, altho both of them
would be more popular without either.
Teetchers are all ages, but they are
getting younger all the time Most
of them are female gender by berth.
Wen fletcher gets married she stops
teetchihg. This would make the pu-
pills mutch gladder IL another fletcher
dident come to take her place rite
away.
1t would be impossible TO have a
education without teetchers, but most
children would jest as soon not have
education il enybody asked them
their opinion. wich nobody does, Wen
children grow up they send their own
children to skool for revendge, and
thus education will never die out.
The name diffrents between teetch-
ers and pupils is tina hatfteetchers can
wawk out wenever they wunt to and
never come back, ony they don't. vile
pupils have to keep on setting there
and come back the next day, wich
they do.
Some teetchers are popular even
tho they are teetchers. wich proves
how mutch more popular they would
be if they wasent. Most teetchers
know more than theif pupils. thus
making it very convenient for them.
Some things teetchers are Supposed
to know are fizzeology. joggriffy. his
terry. arithmetic scolding, singing and
keeping in after skool-
Some pupils give their tsetchers
presents, such as froot end or!ndges,
hoping they wont take it but not ask
ing for it back in case they do.
