expressing no thought or feeling, nnd arous

simply te tell us something, te 111 ike known
te us an Iniisirtant truth : tint rather morely

tell It ? If net, why don't they keep Mill ?

a panther, nnd Hill Ilradley fell at it shot

'I he combat eiuled w quickly that Allce

It would net de te let this epen violation of

the bell. VV lien 1110 pupus were ussomuieu,
ahe called the culprits up te the desk, and
nsked w hat the Hght was about and who bo be

knocking Mose Ilradley down." Allce
knew the tight was the result of Jim's es
pousal of her cause in the reading class, and
her volce faltored as she said: "Then I
Bhall have te punish you ; held out your
hand."
J Unebeyed her Instantly. She leek up the
rule with a trembling hand, mid began the
punishment. Jim's laee never changed a
muscle. The leek upon It was ene or qulet
obedlonco In w hlch thore w as ue trace olther
of bravude or sulleuuess. As Allce Inllicted
the blows upon the hands te quietly held
out te her, the thought ruthed upon her
mind that she wat smiting the only hand
that had been raited te belrlend her I11 all
thnt law lest region.
Her face glow deathly pile, her blows fell

oalled hla uolf-peascmtion, however, and he
took 11 Mop or two toward the Intler, with
eyes that fairly blared with het Indignation.'
Mate rapidly retrtuteit n step or two, and
his chuckle died an untimely dentil, and Ter
n full moment slUaiee reigned evor the school
room. At Inst Allce rnlsed her head and In a
broken voice dismissed the pupils te the
play-ground.
As ihechlldrnii passed out she heard Heme
one nay : " Se you get 11 whipping niter all,
Jim," mul Jlni'M reply, " Yes, nnd I get
enough te pat Heme of It around If anybody
Is very noxious alieul It"
At ene o'clock Allce rang the belt with a
reeimg or uller despair ; but no school ever
moved mero smoothly than did her nchoel
that 01 enlng. Quiet, obedience, study, geed
lessens and respei Hill ntlontlen wero tinlvor tinlver

poorest washer woman than le be badgered,
bullied nnd tortured for mouths nt a tlme by
a l nl brutnl rulllaiis, whose pirentt em
ployed her for the sole purpese el enduring

He when Allce locked tliotclieol houseiloor
that evening It was with a mingled reeling or
relief and humiliation tliat she Htarted te or
for her resignation te the tlirecterH. Ah she
lelt the school house she saw Jim Tumor a
low yards ahead of her walking rapidly In
the direction or Ids home.
She called his name In a quint tone, nud he
stepped and ressx.tlully walled until shelmd

"Mr. Turner," Blie said, "I ant going

nnd In lier (urnestnets Allce held out her lit

grasped It
"1 havu nothing te rorglve," mid he;
"you could net de otherwise and neither

" Yes," answered Al'ce, "I would rather

"Hut you will have no mero treuble j
thore is no ene in tlie school that would be at

At last Jim's elequence prevailed, and
Alice linilly consented letearli a week lon

Lancaster county can beist et her building
associations. All nre In geed condition
llnnnclally. The directors b.ne no treuble
te dispose of nil the surplus money at a geed
premium, and it fellows that the series ma
ture in geed time, and the Invostert receive
a liandsome bum en the shares of stock held
by thorn.
The tlrst attempt nt forming a building as
sociation lu this city wat made by iiiombers
of St Jeseph's Catholic church. It was net
en .1 big scale, hew 01 or, and after the matur
ity et a few series it went out el oxlstenco.
The Workiugmen's Building association
was formed a row years after St Jeseph's
and It, tee, disbanded after two sorlet had
matured. Tlie Lancaster nssociatlen was
formed Irem the stockholders of the Work Werk Work
lngtnen's, but It closed out bofero the matur
ity of the Hrst series, and the stockholders
went into the I'nlen Hulldlng aud Lean asso
ciation, which It still In existence, aud Is ene
of the most prosperous In the city.
Tin- 01 iikst in Tin: citv.
The eldest lu the city it the Amerlcau Me
chanics Hulldlng and Lean association. It
was instituted en Decomber 17, l'Oe, under
the previsions of a general act of assembly
passed April U, 1'.', nnd met with success
from tlie start
The I'nlen wat the uext 0110 lustltuted. It
dates from J une il, 1S75, and wns followed
by the 1'ieples, which was incorporated the
following day. The I'rankllu wat Insti
tuted en March 1 ., IsT'i, slnce which time no
new building associations were formed until
April of this year, when the West I'nd was
brought into existence. Although a babe as
compared with seme of the ethers, it bids
fair te be ene or the strongest in the city.
These building assoclitlens have been us 0
ful ami valuable institutions te the commu
nity, v ears or successful experience have
rendered it unnecessary te preve the useful
ness of the building association as n savings
institution, or an aid te the werklnginan in
securing a home el hit own. Thousands of
home 111 rennsylianla ewo their o-vistence
te its beneficent oration ; many 11 man in
this city-hat there saved in Hiimll amounts
meney that would have been unprelltitbly
spent, thus He-cumulating -vulllcient te buy a
house or go into business for himself. All
members knew such c,ves. lint the build
ing association has done its work he silently
attended se strictly te Its own business
that the public outslde are almost unacquaint
ed with its nature and operations.

Ordinarily it takes about oleveu years for a
series of stock te mature. That Is, partles
