Jim stood apart and alone with his
thoughts after his rebuff by the eau
cusing members of the school board.

1t was Mrs. Bonner who had clearly
come TO scoff. With her was Mrs.
Bronson, whose attitude was that Of
a person torn between conflicting in
f1uences. Her husband had indicated
to the crafty Bonner and the subtle
Peterson that he was still loyal to the
school board, but while consorting
with the %censorious Mrs. Bonner she
evinced restiveness when the school
and it's work was condemned. Was not
her Newton in charge Of a part Of this
show? Was he not an open and de-
faint champion of Jim Irwin, and a
constant and enthusiastic attendant
upon, not only his classes, but a vari-
ETY. of evening and Saturday affairs?
And had not Newton become a better
boy-a wonderfully better boy?
Mrs. Bronson'S heart was filed with
resentment that she also could not be
enrolled among Jim Twins supporters.
And when Mrs. Bonner sneered at the
.buttonholes and cookies. Mrs. Bronson,
knowing how the little fingers had
puzzled themselves over the one, and
young faces had become floury and red
over the other, fared up a little.
"And l don't see," said she, ANY

Mrs. Bonner was far too good a
diplomat to be cornered In the same
enclosure with a rupture of relations.
"And quite right, too" said she.

Calista was In charge Of the little chill
dren whose work was to be demon
strated hat day, and was in a state
of exaltation to which her starved be-
Ing had hitherto been a stranger. Per-
haps there was something similar in
her condition of fervent happiness to
that of Jim. She, too, was doing some
thing outside the sordid life Of the
Simms cabin. She yearned over the
children in her care, and would have
been glad to die for them-and besides
was not Newton Bronson in charge OF

corn-judging team?

Jim looked about him. There they
were now, over in a corner, with their
heads together. He went toward them,
his face still beaming with that radi-
ance which had shone SO plainly to
the eyes of Calista Simms, but they
saw in it only a grin of exultation over
his defeat of them at the hearing be-
fore Jennie Woodruff. When Jim had
drawn so close as almost to call for
the extended hand, he felt the repul-
sion of their attitudes and sheered off
on some pretended errand to a dark
corner across the room.
They resumed their talk.

Instead of desiring further knowl

Jim felt a dreadful disgust at the

At the Farmers institute.
Every Iowa county has its Farmers
institute. Usually it is held in tn,
county seat, and Is a gathering O.

to improving discussions and addresses

Woodruff district was interested IL
The institute, however, because of the
fact hat a rural-schoOl exhibit was
one of its features that year, and thai
Colonel Woodruff had secured ar
urgent invitation to the school to take
part In it.
Such exhibits are now so common
that it is not worth while for us to
describe it; but then, the sight Of a
class of children testing and weighing
milk, examining grains for viability
and foul seeds, planning crop rota-
lions, judging grains and live stock
was SO new in that county as to be the
real sensation of the institute.
Two persons were a good deal en-
barra ssed by the success of the ex-
hibit. One was the county superin-
tendent, who was constantly in receipt
of undeserved compliments upon her
wisdom in fostering really practical
work In the schools" The other was
Jim Irwin, who was becoming famous,
and who felt he had done nothing to
deserve fame. Professor Withers, an
extension lecturer from Ames, took
Jim to dinner at the best hotel in the
town, for the purpose of talking over
with him the needs of the rural
schools.
you've got to come down to our
farmers week next year, and tell us
about these things" said he to Jim.

Jim's brain reeled. He go to a gath
ering of real educators and tell his
crude notions! How could he get the
money for his expenses? But he had
preme confidence in the thing dealt
with.
"I1l come" said he.
"Thank you," said the Ames man.
There's a small honorarium attached,
you know"
Jim vas staggered. He tried to re-
member what an honorarium is. Was
he obliged to pay an honorarium for
the chance to speak before the college
gathering? Well, he'd save money and
pay it.

at won't bother you to take care of
it," said he, but If you're not too ex-
travagant 1t will pay your expenses
and give you a few dollars over"
Jim breathed more freely. An hon
orarium was paid to the person receiv-
ing the honor, then. What a relief!
"All right" he exclaimed. I'll be
glad to comet"

the professor. "And now / must be

But Jim was not able to think much
of the winter wheat problem as they
went back to the auditorium. He was
worth the appreciation of a college
professor, trained to think on the very
matters Jim had been so long mulling
over in isolation and blindness!

THE people of these mountains

of their fathers and to the repre-
sentative form of government con-
ceived by Washington, Hamilton and
Madison.
