PRELUDE.

Six little states clattered into place,
and six little figures stood erect be-
tween their benches.
Right! Turn said the master
March! School Is dismissed" and
six pairs Of bare little legs twinkled
along the aisle. across the well-worn
threshold. down the big stone step.
and into the dusty road, warm with
the, rays of the Indian summer sun.
The master watched them from the
open window until they vanished be-
hind ridge Of beech trees that cut his
vision from the concession. While they
remained within sight smile played
upon the features Of his strong sun
burned face, but as the last little ca
lico dress was swallowed BY the wood
the smile died down, and for a mo-
ment he stood. grave and thoughtful
statue framed within the white pine
castings Of the sash.
His brown study lasted only a mo-
ment. With a quick movement be
walked to the blackboard. caught up
a section Of sheepskin, and began
erasing the symbols OF the days In
structions.
''Well, suppose there's reward n
heaven. he said to himself. as be pei
the little schoolroom' h order. "Thert
isn't much here. The farmers viii
pay q man more to doctor their slcl
sheep than to teach their children
II others can take the chance car
take II too. II It were not for her
would go tomorrow"
The last remark seemed to .unlinl
new chain OF thought. The. grp
eyes lit up again. He welded tn
broom briskly for q minute, then toss
ed It In q corner. fastened the win
dows. slipped little folder into hi
pocket. locked the door behind hin
and swung In rapid stride down /,
by-path leading from the little school
house into the forest.
Ten minutes quick walking IN TIL
woods, now glorious In all their au
tumn splendor, brought him to q poin
where the sky stood up. pale blue
evasive, through the trees The mex
moment he was at the waters edge
and limpid lake stretched away t
where the forests Of the farther shor
