John Morelands house was built OF
whole oak logs, which We're chinked
with oak splits and daubed In between
with clay; the roof was of handmade
boards, and chimney of stones and
clay rose at either end.
John Moreland himself sat on the
front porch, and beside him lay-a re-
peating rifle, two young squirrels that
had been very neatly shot through the
head, and weary black-and-tan
hound. He was an uncommonly big
man, and about forty-seven his eyes
were gray and keen; his thick hair
and full beard were a rich brown, with
only few threads OF white There
was certain English fneness about
John Moreland.
AS the moonshiner and his compan-
ion reached the gate Moreland rose
and pushed his hat back from his fore
head.

John Moreland returned presently.

Before he could get any farther with

him as though it were thing Of un-
speakable contamination. His bearded
face went deathly white with the
wilderness Of an old and bitter hatred.
His great fists clenched, and every
muscle in his giant body trembled.

illustrated by magnificent pictures.
DIR. Frank l.. Loveland's challeng-

Recommendation of Superin.
fcndents Affecting Elementary
Schools Is Rejected

The Board Of Education at its meet
ing yesterday disapproved a recon-
mendation of the board of superin-
tendents that the number of classes in
elementary schools be increased from
eighteen to twenty-five and that the
number of classes requiring a teacher
IN charge be increased from eighteen
10 twenty-four.
Commissioner Arthur S. Somers said
ne favored increasing the number of
classes TO twenty-five in the interest
of economy. Commissioner Harry A.
Chambers opposed the plan on the
ground that it would bring about
chaotic conditions. Commissioner
George j. Ryan held that the plan
would likely inure the school system.

save $4,000 year. DR.. Ettinger sail

Wonan's Plea for Privacy
For Her Boudoir Denied
Court Refuses TO Enjoin Con.
siruction of Addition to Prof.
MOntacue's Home

Justice Whitaker yesterday denied
the application of Miss Celeste w. Her
rick, an assistant at the Public Lii
brary, and living at 46 Morton Street,
for an Injunction to enjoin Professor
William P. Montague. of the Columbia
University faculty, and his wife, Mrs.
Helen W. Montague, from completing
the erection of an extension to their
home at 4S Morton Street, adjoining
the residence of Miss Herrick.
Miss Herrick said that her family
has occupied the house she now lives
in since 1853. She said that her bed
room and bathroom face the garden of
her property, and that the windows of
the proposed two-story extension to
the Montague house would open upon
these rooms and destroy the privacy
which she has enjoyed heretofore. In
building, the plaintiff also complained,
the fence of her house was taken down,
although it was on her property.
Mr.. Montague, professor of philos-
ophy at Columbia, expressed his regret
that the extension to his residence was
going to annoy his neighbor, which
was far from his thought or purpose,
but he stood on his right to erect the
extension.
The professor explained that the WIN
dows on the first floor of his extension
will be of translucent glass and that
nc intends to use the second floor as a
study, which requires that he have
plenty OF air and light, and which will
have windows of ordinary glass.

head felt.
Perhaps if l take a long rest 1

his sharp claws into the bark and
braced himself with his tall You
know a Woodpecker's tail is made
for just this purpose. He really was
very comfortable, and being off the
ground he felt much better in his
mind. But though he rested long
time, when he tried to go on he
couldn't. He had strength enough to
cling there, but he hadn't strength
enough to climb an inch higher. How
he did wish that Welcome Robin
would bring him another piece of
bread.
But Welcome Robin didn't. You
see, from his perch near the top of
the tree he had seen Black Pussy out
in Farmer Browns yard and he didn't
dare go back there for more bread.
And, presently, he saw something
that Redhead couldn't see. 1t was
Farmer Browns Boy coming straight
toward that tree. Perhaps it is Just
as we'll that Redhead couldn't see, for
it might have frightened him. He
was not as well acquainted with
Farmer Browns boy as were some of
the other little people.

he found out.

Bedtime Stories
Redhead Regains Hope
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Who doth little hope regain
Will find that he can master pain.
--Redhead.

Food means strength. Everybody
knows that. 1t is just the same with
the little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows. Food, and
plenty of it, is even more important
to the feathered folk than it is to us.
You see they use great deal OF 1T,
because they are so very active. They
can go without it only very short
time without becoming weak. And
when they do get it, they recover
strength very quickly.
1t was so with Redhead the Wood
pecker. That piece of bread Welcome
Robin brought to him made all the
difference in the world. For while
after gobbling it down, for he was so
hungry that he did gobble it, he lay
quiet Then he began to feel strong
er, and with returning strength came
renewed hope; He couldn't fly. OF
course not That injured wing was
useless. But perhaps he could climb.
If he could do that ne could get up
in that tree, and once there he would
feel much safer.
By and by Redhead felt SO much
better that he reached the foot of the
tree aud started TO climb up the
trunk Every few inches he had to
stop to rest. 1t was slow work and
hard work, and he grew very, very
tired. But the higher he got the
more hopeful he felt, and that helped
lot. He was very, very thankful
that he could climb.
Now, had Welcome Robin or any of
the other feathered folk of the Old
Orchard, excepting other members of
the Woodpecker family, been in Red
heads place they would have been
quite helpless, SO far as getting up
in that tree was concerned. None Of
the others have the right kind of feet
for climbing. But Woodpecker feet
are made for just this purpose, as are
the feet of Seep Seep the Brown
Creeper and Yank Yank the Nut
hatch. If Redhead had been feeling
we'll and strong it would have taken
him almost no time at all to go up the
trunk of that tree and reach the
branches.
But while that piece of bread had
given him strength, of course, it
hadn't given him a great deal. OF
course, one little piece of bread
couldn't. Redhead needed good, big
meal TO give him his full strength
SO when he was about half way up
ne felt that he couldn't climb another

Caliph promised us these four years
past? Where is the wisdom and the
fountains wherefrom Hy-lan in bygone
days promised it should flow?"
And they cried continually and none
bade them cease, for the leaders of the
Mameiukes, who kept guard over the
city, sat in their tents and strove to
devise means of outwitting the Be-
douns of the Caravan from the Wells
an accounting of their stewardship.
But Hy-lan of the Ruddy Coun-
tenance, whose ear was ever attuned
to the voice of his people, heard their
tumult, and he called to him the chief
of his accountants, even Abu ibn Hirsh-
field, saying:
go forth and find of what the peo-
pie shout. Peradventure they desire
that | address them again
And Abu ibn Hirshfeld did as he was
bid and returned. salaaming. to say:
Even the Night Schools Closed
"Alas, Brother to the Sunset, they
cry aloud that the schools for the seed
Of the Faithful are failing through
neglect. They complain that the foun-
tains OF wisdom are drying up"
And Hy-lan replied, "Pooh!' and
again "Pooh!"
But the chief of the accountants,
bowing until his turban brushed the
floor. continues:
"Nay, Lord of the World and Lessee
They have figures cast for them by
some intidel to prove it,"
Then plucked Hy-lan of the Ruddy
Countenance at his mustache and
quoth:
"Bismillah!"
And outside the clamor of the rabble
continued, and they cried:
"Hy-lan our Caliph hath promised to
give to his people free access to all
knowledge and wisdom. And behold
his words were as water spilled upon
the sands of Ell Gedir."
And Hy-lan of the Ruddy Counte-
nance summoned his pashas and emirs
about him, and his brow was dark and
his voice was as the thunder and he
said to them:
Behold who hath done most to bring
this people to wisdom? Who hath
taught these scoffers of the wonders
of nature, of the nature and habits Of
the toad and the jellyfsh? Who is it
that hath taught history to the multi
tude and instructed even the Emir of
Wales as to who won the war? Who
hath labored to school the people in
oratory and the humanites? Who
hath written letters as the sands of
the sea in number, so that his people
might learn of the delicacies of this
art?"
And murmer like storm swept
through the hall:
Even thou, Spring of Sapience and
Fountain of All Wisdom"
Then quoth the Caliph Hy-lan of
the Ruddy Countenance, with a patient
smile:
'Yet behold, the rabble crieth aloud
for mere schools!" F. F. ".

Soothsayers who interpret signs and

as We love knowledge and it's beauties
to the thousand and tenth tale of the
Good Caliph and the Fountain of All
Wisdom:
Now it chanced that time came in
the fourth year of the Profit, while
Hy-lan of the Ruddy Countenance was
Caliph over all the land, when the sum-
mer monsoon, sweeping in over the
deserts parched by the wrath of the
mighty djinn Ell Volstead, struck the
city with grievous heat.
And that heat was SO great that all
the city sweltered and even the palace
of the good Caliph felt its fury. The
warriors who we're wont to do battle
in the arena known as the Chamber
of the Aldermen laid aside their
armor and fought no more. And the
clamor that rises from the throne

his lord and yearned for a mantle of
that brave hue.

And Hy-lan, even as he suffered,
pushed aside the cooling sherbets
brought him by blackamoor and be-
thought himself of the people, For men
madness brought by the heat. And he
summoned the keeper of the royal pre-
serves, even the parks throughout the
land, and said to him:
Turn these over to the people for
them to walk in and sit upon the little
grass left there. 1t is my wish that
they enjoy these and cease their MUIR
murings."
And to the scribe whom he had sum-
moned he said:

that the chief of mine enemies. even

feller and Morgan, are behind this
curse that has fallen upon the city"
Now, when this had been done, Hy-

people murmured without and certain
