CHAPTER ~
The First Day OF School.


Jim Irwin was full Of his Emerson's
Representative Men," and his Car
lyle's French Revolution and the
other old-fashioned, excellent, good
literature which did not cost over %
cents a volume; and he had pored long
and with many thrills over the pages
of Matthews Getting On In the
World" His view Of efficiency was
that it is the capacity to see oppor-
tunity where others overlook it, and
make the most of it.
All through his life he had had his
own plans for becoming great. And
all the time he was bare-footed, i'll
clad and dreamed his dreams to the
accompaniment of the growl of the
pillow cutting the roots under the
brown furrow-slice, or the wooshing Of
the milk in the pail. At twenty-eight,
he considered these dreams over.
As for this new employment, he saw
no great opportunity in it. He went
into the small, mean, ill-paid task as
a part of the days work, with no
knowledge Of the stirring of the nation
for a different sort of rural school
and no suspicion that there lay in II
any highway to success in life. He
rather wondered why he had allowed
Jennie's sheer to sting him into the
course of action which put him in this
new relation to his neishbors.

CHAPTER Ill
What Is a Brown Mouse7

Immediately upon tie accidental
election of 3im Irwin to the position
of teacher of the Woodruff school, he
developed habits somewhat like a
ghosts or a bandits. That is, he
walked of nights and on rainy days.
On fine days, he worked in Colonel
Woodruff's fields as of yore. Jim's
salary was to be just $3.50 for nine
months work in the Woodruff school,
and he a to find himself-and his
mother. Therefore, he had to indulge
In his loose habits of night walking
and roaming about after hours only,
or on holidays and in foul weather.
The Simms family, being from the
"meuntings' of Tennessee. were rather
startled n night, when Jim Irwin,
hOmely, stopped and e~rrandless, ST.
ientIy appeared in their family circle
about the front door. They had lived
where it was the custom to give a
whoop from the big road before n
passed through the palms and up to
the house. Otherwise, how was one
to know whether the visitor was
friend or foe?
From force of habit, Old Man Simms
started for his gun-rack at Jim's APP
pearance, but the Lincolnian smile and
the low slow speech, so much like his
W In some respects, ended that.
Stranger" said Mr.. Simms, after
greetings had been exchanged, you're
right welcome, but in my kentry you'd
find 1t dangersome to walk in thisa-
way"
"How SOP" queried Jim Irwin.
"You'd more'n likely git shot up
some" replied Mr.. Simms, "onless
you whooped from the big road"
II didn't know that" replied Jim.
TIN Ignorant of the customs of other
countries. Would you rather I'd

CASTING CHECKS IN GERMANY
Customers Hang Up Hats and Sticks
and Then Prepare for Close
Examination.

Bank etiquette in Germany is unique.
In one great Hanover bank 1 watched
the customers. First they walked to
the center of the big marble lobby and
hung up their hats and sticks just as
you would do here on entering a hotel
lining room. You soon understand why
they strip for action when you see
what an exhaustive test of endurance
1t is to get a check cashed. You pass
1t in at one window; clerks gather,
whisper, study the check, telephone
upstairs, make notes on It's margin
doubtfully. ~"Augenblick !" they finally
tell you, which means wait an eye
wink.
You wait. Others crowd about the
window. Finally you, too, hang up
your hat and coat and sit down to look
at a picture book on the reading table
in the lobby. If you glance up sud-
denly, maybe you catch a bunch of
clerks whispering together, looking at
you suspiciously. Finally, If you're
lucky, you hear your name shouted,
and at another window a pile of marks
is pushed out.
Every deposit account here has a
number, and this number must show
on your check. Some firms ever print
their official bank account number on
their letterheads.-Saturday Evening
Post.

caller since they had settled on TIN
little brushy tract whose hills ant
trees reminded them of their moun
tains. Low hills, to be sure, with onl!
a footing of rocks where the creel
had cut through, and not many trees
but down in the creek bed, with the
oaks, elms and bOx-elders arching
overhead, the Simmses could imagine
themselves beside some run falling
into the French Broad, or the Holston.
The creek bed was a Withdrawing
room in which to retire from the
eternal black soil and level cornfields
of Iowa.
The soil was so poor, in COMPARE
son with those black uplands, that the
owner of the old woOd-lot could find
no renter but it was better than the
soil in the mountains, and suited the
lonesome Simmses much more than a
better farm would have done. They
were not Of the Iowa people anyhow,
not understood, not their equals-they
were pore and expected to stay
''pore"-while the Iowa people all
seemed to be either well-to-do, or ex-
pecting to become so.
Jim Irwin asked Old Man Simms
about the fishing in the creek, and
whether there was any duck shooting
spring and fall.
"We git right smart of these little
panfish," said Mr.. Simms, "an' Calista
dopa shot +uro hu+tarhou 5,,olyc about
'tater-plantin' time"
Calista blushed-but this stranger,
so much like themselves, could not see
the rosy suffusion. The allusion gave
him a chance to look about him at the
family. There was a boy of sixteen,
younger than Raymond-a girl of
eleven, named Virginia, but called
Jinnie-and a smaller lad who re-
joiced in the name of McGeehee, but
was mercifully called Buddy.
Calista squirmed for something to
say. Raymond runs a line O. traps

Then came a long talk on traps and
trapping, shooting, hunting and the
joys of the NOTWITHSTANDING which
noted the ignorance and poverty
Of the Simmses. The clothing of the
girls was not decent according to local
standards for while Calista wore a
skirt hurriedly slipped on, Jim was
quite sure-and not without evidence
o support his views-that she had
)een wearing when he arrived the
same r~egimentals now displayed by
Iinnie-a pair of ragged blue overalls.
Evidently the Simmses were wearing

II DUCKS

"Quack. quack," said Mrs. Duck.
"Quack, quack," said Sir David
Duck.
"Quack. quack," said the little Duck
lings.
Now you know how you must sleep,
don't you, precious ducklings?' asked
Mrs. Duck.
yes. Mother Duck" answered the
little ducklings.. YES, quack, quack,
we know.
"And we will show you, Mother
Duck, so you will see that we know
THAT is right, quack, quack," said
Mother Duck.
That is right, quack, quack," said
Sir David Duck.
So the little ducklings showed Mrs.
Duck and Sir David Duck and all the
older ducks how they would be able
to sleep in the water, which was
what Mother Duck wanted to know.
They showed her how they would
hold one foot up under them and with
the other they would keep their same
position in the water.
That is, they would paddle with
that n foot even as they slept-it
was very simple and easy to do after
a short time and they would keep in
the same place that way. OF course
on the farm they could not go far.
But it was we'll to learn all duck
lessons, for If ever they should be
sleeping in the open-ln a large body
of water-then they would need to
know this lesson.
"Quack, quack," said Mother Duck,
you all know yOur lesson well, and
it delights Mother Ducks heart"
you do, indeed. know your lesson

what they had and not what they de-
sired. The father was faded, patched,
gray and earthly, and the boys looked
better than the rest solely because we
expect boys to be torn and patched.
Mrs. Simms was invisible except as a
gray blur beyond the r%ain-barrel, in
the midst of which her pipe glowed
with a regular ebb and flow of embers.
On the next rainy day Jim called
again and secured the services of Ray
mond to help him select seed corn. He
was going to teach the school next
winter, and he wanted to have a seed
corn frolic the first day, instead Of
waiting until the last-and you had to
get seed corn while 1t was on the stalk,
if you got the best.
No Simms could refuse a favor to
the fellow who was so much like them
selves, and who was so greatly inter-
ested in trapping, hunting and the
Tennessee mountains-so Raymond
went with Jim, and with Newt Bron-
son and five more they selected Colo

In the evening they looked the grain
over on the Woodruff lawn, and the
colonel talked about corn and corn Sc
lection. They had supper at half past
six, and Jennie waited on them-hav-
ing assisted her mother in the cook
ing. 1t was quite a festival.
Jim Irwin was the least conspicuous
person in the gathering, but the colo
mel, who was a seasoned politician,
observed that the farmland had be-
come a fisher of men, and was angling
for the souls of these boys, and their
interest in the school. Jim was care
full not to flush the covey, but every
boy received from the next winters
teacher some confidential hint as to
plans, and some suggestion that Jim
relying on the aid and comfort of
that particular boy.
New Bronson, especially, was
leaned on as a strong staff and a very
present help in time Of trouble. AS
for Raymond Simms, it was clearly
best to leave him alone. All this talk
of corn selection and related things
was new to him, and he drank it in
