The window was WV swathed, blithe wasn't hurt at Schoolmaster of Rus— sian Bar; [From the San ' Francisco Californian.] "MIEN is he expected?" They " said ho was coming in to night's stage." "fie taught in Frisco, didn't ho ?" " Yes, I guess he wa! in that depart ment.' The Doctor's wife was an authority on all matters hi Russian Bar, and on this last sensation—the coining or a school master—she freely enlightened her neigh bor, Mrs. Blunt. a plump widow, whose miner-husband had died a few mouths before. There was a& much to gossip abbtit in that quiet village. The arrival and de parture of the stage brought the people to their doors three times a week, and if a stranger was noticed, envoys were im mediately despatched to the hotel to learn his mime and business and the probable leagth of •his stay.. But now Russian Bar was to have a new schoolmaster, and the folks wonder ed much if he would have any trouble with Sam. Seymour, the butcher's boy, or Ike Walker, an unruly spirit, who had knocked down and pummeled the lust preceptor. who undertook to teach him school-discipline. The trustees were pow. erkes in these matters, and declared that if a schoolmaster was not able to "get away" with the boys in a square stand-up tight, he might as well pick up his traps and leave Russian Bar. On the very evening of the expected arrival, Seymour and Walker, the leading spirits among the mutinous school boys —met at a pool from which both were en deavoring to coax a few speckeled trout fur supper. " Hove yon beand what the new chap is like. Si ?" `said Ik.. as he impaled a wriggle worm on his hook. " No. hare con ?" "Father told Jake, the barkeeper, that be was very young." • " And small ?' " Yes." "Gaels he won't slay long in town, Ike ?" "I guess not, Sam. School ain't very good fur you and me such flue weather as th is." The worthies sat tvi - hed in silence for some- time, and thenfike produced a hunch of cigarettes, ankpassed them to his friend. At last, finding that the fish would not bite, they shouldered . their poles and struggled np towards the village, pursing for a moment to stone a China man's rooster which had strayed too far from the protecting wash-house. TIIE ECLIOOLMASTEIL Philip Houghton was o sehe'olvnueter from necessity, :aid not taste. Like many who have been educated as gentlemen in one sense of the word, that is. without the acquaintance with any special pursuit that might be turned to good account in the struggle fur bleat!. lie found himself adrift in California, w;th nothing to WI back upon. Seeing an advertisement in a city paper for a competent teacher to take charg e of the school at Russian Bar, he attiswered it and was accepted at a ven ture. Putting his few moveables togeth er—a pair of old foils and a set of well worn boxing gloves, for Houghton was an accomplished borer and fencer—he bought his ticket for Russian Bar. He found the stage driver a communi cativ,.. pleasant fellow, who, at his request, described the characteristics of his future home. Indeed, his description -of the class of boys,.-whom Houghton was to take charge of, wag not very encourag ing: " You'll find them a hard lot, and they're all on 'em on -the muscle, too." be said. " What is shoot the weight of my old est?" asked Houghton, good humoredly. " lon see, if I um going to be. obliged en exercise something more than moral sua sion, I want to get posted on the physique of me men." " Well, Sam Seymour is about the strongest." " And what is about the size of the re doubtable Ike !" " Well, I guess he tops you by half a head." "0, I expect we wilt get along well enough together," said wilt. ; and I suppose this is the first glimpse of Rus sian Bar ?" he added, as a turn in the Nall brought them in view of that pictu resque village. The stage bowled along the smooth road, and past the great white oak, under whose friendly branches the teamsters were accustomed to make their noon-time halt. " I'll set Son down at the hotel," said the stage driver. "There's Perkins, the proprietor, that fat man, smoking on the amp." Houghton confess.Nl to himself that the prospect bore him was anything but a prepossessing one. He was not of a ve ry combative nature, though he liked a little tlaii„,—er for the excitement; bat a , game of tistieuff with a duty, mutinons.., ho”, had neither glory nor honor for a man that had been one of the hardest hitters in his college. The folks were all in their doors when the stage clattered up. the single street, and the slender, good-looking young man by the driver, was measured and canvass ed before that worthy had passed the mail to the doctor, who, with his medi' cal avocations, also found time to ''run" - the post office. -The Doctor's. wife was at her window, and after a long survey of the schoolmas. ter,hastened to communicate her opin ions to Mrs. Blunt. Meanwhile, 'Hough ton trashed off the red dust of the road, and took his seat at the .supper-table.— the driver had introduced him to about a dozen of the. leading citizens during the frw moments that intervened between the arrival of the stage and their evening Meal. "How do you like our town, Mr. Bough ton ?" asked the landlord, graciously,. as he assisted his new guest to a cut o steak. • , "Well, it seems a prettl! place." "When you get uclnointed with the folks poll end yourself plessiatly ititn sted : 44011 a bas4,:tipt syo . the &la '' • ` ' ----- • , , .. "So they all tell nie ' 'Anyh,osis I .0M not unprepared." said -f li tinghtn; cheer fully. After. supper the landlord - remarked. confidentially to .the Doctor that,', l , the young man had grit tohird, and he tho't he'd bo able to make the 'ri fl e' with the boys:" ' tIIE lilltSTDt'i,,, When Houghton iirdsis uext morni ng, and opened his •windo* to IWe 'fresh breeze, odorous with thelperfume of the climbing honeysuckles, hS felt that after all, a residence in a - remote village, even e, with a parcel of rough ys to take care of, was preferable to the dusty,tinfainil liar streets of San Franc sco. He smiled as lie unpacked- his f ils and boxing gloves, a little sadly to , for they were linked with many pleasi g associations of his under graduate day " Well," he solilognis , as he straight enediiis arm and look at the finely de veloped muscles, "I ou ht to be able!to s l hold my own in a stair up fi ght with these troublesome pup s s of mine. This is my day of' trial, ho , ever, and befo're noon we shall probablyißavetuul our bat tle out" .- The school-house, a' raw, unfinished looking frame building, stood hard.hy the river, at about half a mile from the town. When Houghton opened the riekety wood en gate that led into the school "lot, he found •ii group of 60111.3 twenty bays al ready assembled. Among them were Ike Seymour and Sam Walker. The latter's sister, a pretty girl of sixteen, was lean ing against the fence with half a dozen of her friends, for the Russian Bar school house was arranged for the accommoda tion of both sexes. Houghton handed the key to the near est boy, and asked him to open the door. Wilh a look at the others, aud a half grin on his face, he obeyed. Now, boys, muster in," said Hough ton cheerfully. They all passed in--Seymour and Walker last. The latter took a good look at the echoohna•ter as he went by. When they were seated. Houghton stool at his desk, and laid a heavy ruler ou the books before him. " Now, boys," he said, " I hope we shall get along pleasantly together. You treat ine fairly and you shall have no rea son to complain, I promise you. Silence and obedience is what I regaire, and a strict attention to the matter of our in struction." Giving them a portion of the grammar to prepare fur recitation, he walked quiet ly up and down the room, occasionally standing at the windows, but appearing to ke.p no surveillance on the boys.— Soddenly the crack of a match was heard, ful:owed by a generattitter. lioughtZin turned quietly from the window, and 4.l;.x.,,Tprpa the blue smoke rmm a cigarette arising from where Sey- mour sat " What is your name, boy ?" he asked sternly. " My name's Seymour," replied the mu tineer, insolently. " And are you smoking ?" " I guess so." ‘ Leave the room." " I guess not." There was a dead silence in the school room now, and Houghton felt that the boor of trial was at hand. " Seymour:" he said again, very quiet ly— " What ?" " Gime here." Seymour, putting his han - 4' pockets, sauntered from his desk, : stood, within a yard of the. schoolmaster,, and looked sneeringly in his face. . . " Leave the room," said Houghton, in a lower voice.
