Jim's Brown Mouse. I've told you
about the Brown Mouse, haven't II"
'Yes," said Jennie. You've told
me. But Professor Darbishlre's
brown mice were simply wild and in
corrlgible creatures. Just because 1t
happens to emerge suddenly from the
forests Of heredity, it doesn't prove
that the Brown Mouse is any good"
Justin Morgan was Brown
Mouse" said the colonel "And he
founded the greatest breed of horses
in the world"
you say that" said Jennie, "be-
cause you're lover Of the Morgan
horse"
Napoleon Bonaparte was a Brown
Mouse" said the colonel. $50 was
George Washington, and so was Peter
the Great. Whenever a Brown Mouse
appears he changes things in little
way or big way"
Jennie.
NO" said the colonel. 1.-THE Brown
Mouse may throw back to slant-head-
ed savagery. But Jim some
times i think Jim is the kind of
Mendelian segregation out of which
we get Franklins and Edlsons and
their sort. You may get some good
ideas out of Jim. Let us have them
here for Christmas, by all means"
There is no doubt that on Christ
mas day Jennie Woodruff was justi-
fled in thinking that they were a
queer couple. They weren't like the
Woodruffs, at all. They were of a
different pattern. To be sure, Jim's
clothes were not especially note
worthy, being just shiny, and frayed
at cuff and instep, and short Of sleeve
and leg, and ill-fittlng and cheap.
Jim's queerness lay not so much in his
clothes as in his personality.
On the other hand, Jennie could not
help thinking that Mrs. Irwin's queer
ness was to be found almost solely in
her clothes. The black alpaca looked
undeniably respectable. Jennie felt
1t must have story-a story in which
the stopped rusty, somber old lady
iooAtt iAhC a Nidi vi uWh W HuT-
monize with the period just after the
war.
But Jennie had the keenness to see
that II Mrs. Irwin could have had an
up-to-date costume she would have
become rather ordinary and not bad
looking old lady. What Jennie failed
to divine was that II Jim could have
invested hundred dollars in the serv-
Ices of tailors, haberdashers, BARRIERS
and other specialists in personal ap-
pearance, and could have blotted out
his record as her fathers field-hand,
he would have seemed to her dis
Misunderstanding young man. Not
handsome, of course, but the sort peo-
pie look after-and follow.
"Come to dinner said Mrs. Wood
ruff, who at this Juncture had hired
girl. but was yoked to the oar never
theless when 1t came to turkey and
the other fixings Of Christmas din
ber. ITS good enough, what there Is
Of 1t, and there's enough Of it such as
1t is-but the dressing In the turkey
would be better for little more
sage!"

CHAPTER VIII

Jennie Arranges a Christmas Party.
Miss Jennie Woodruff of the Wood
ruff district was sensible country
girl. Being sensible, she tried to
avoid uppishness. But she did feel
some little sense of increased impor-
lance as she drove her fathers little
runabout over the smooth earth roads,
in the crisp December weather, just
before Christmas. The weather itself
was stimulating, and in the little car,
visiting the one hundred or more rural
schools soon to come under her super
vision. she rather fancled the picture
of herself, clothed in more or less au-
thority and queening it over her little
army of teachers.
Mr.. HaakOn Peterson was phlegmat
ically conscious that she made rather
an agreeable picture, as she stopped
her car alongside his top buggy to talk
with him. She had bright blue eyes,
fluffy brown hair n complexion
whipped pink by the breeze, and she
smiled at him ingratiatingly.
Don't you think father is lovely?"
said she. "He is going to let me use
the runabout when l visit the schools"
THAT will be good" said Haakon.
"It will save you lots of time. hope
you make the county pay for the gaso-
line"
~ haven't thought about that" said
Jennie. "Everybody's been so nice to
mel want to give as well as receive"
"Why," said Haakon, you will yust
begin to receive when your salary be-
gins in january
"Oh, MOI" said Jennie. 1--WE re-
ceived much more than that nowl You
don't know how proud l feel. SO many
nice men l never knew before, and all
my old friends like you working for
me in the convention and at the polls,
just as If l amounted to something"
"And you don't know how proud ]
feel" said Haakon, "to have in county
office a little girl / used to hold on my
lap"
Haakon was rather richer man
than the colonel, and not little proud
of his ascent to afiluence. A mild
spoken, soft-voiced Scandinavian, he
was quite completely Americanlzed,
and his influence was always worth
fifty to sixty Scandinavian votes in
any county election. He was a good
party man and conscious of being en-
titled to his voice in party matters.
This seemed to him an opportunity for
eXertlng bit of political influence
"Yennie." said he, this man YIN
Irwin needs to be lined up"
Lined up! What do you mean?"
1.-The way he is doing in the
school," said Haakon, lis all wrong.
If you can't line him up, he will make
you trouble. We must look ahead.
Everybody has his friends, and YIN
Irwin has his friends. If you have
trouble with him, his friends will be
against you when we want to nom-
mate you for a second term. The
county is getting close. II we go to
convention without your home delega-
tion 1t would weaken you, and If we
dominate you, every piece of trouble
like this cuts down your vote. You
ought to line him up and have him do
right"
But he is so funny" said Jennie.
"He likes you," said Haakon. You
can line him up"
Jennie blushed, and to conceal her
slight embarrassment. got out for the
purpose of cranking her machine.
But II I cannot line him up?" said
she.
II tank" said Haakon, "if you can't
line him up, you Will have chance
to revoke his certificate when you
