A TALE TOLD OUT OF SCHOOL
" First person I love, second 'person
thou lovest, third person he . loves,"
howled the 'Mad of the class. Tho
next, a little girl, took it up promptly :
",Plural—First person wotove, second
person you love, third 'person they
lovo."
" And we all love."
The interruption came it, a whisper
loud enough to be heard all over the
room, causiox,tlLolder bop and
to giggle ; and the teacher, a 143 Aye
Burnett, looked glancing.
along the row of scholars on the back
seat—young roue and women, Tor this
was a country school, and iu the winter.
Slut had come to look for trouble in
that quarter. Every day came- some
eresh aggravation of the rules and offense
against the discipline, made it hard
work for her, a girl of eighteen, to
maintain her authority over forty turbu
lent spirits, constantly incited to insub
-oidination by the example of their ac
knowledged leader, Scott Goldrioli.
Ile sat there at the further end of Ott
bench, quite in the bonier, a good-look
ing young man Of twenty, with curly
chestnut hair and mutinous curl of the
lip; with'head bent low over his slate,
and the fingers busy M figuring out
HOMO difficult problem in Itilthmetic.
Ent Miss Burnett was not .deceived by
the apparently studious air. And there
Was anundertone'of resolute determina
tion in her voice as 8116 said, looking
over the forty faces before her':
"These interruptions must come to
an end at once. 'There is a point ;whero
fotboarance ceases to be a virtue, and I
think it has passed. Prom this point . I
shall enforce every rule of the school.
The penalty for the next intorrtiption of
..this kind will be twelve strokelt with the
ruler," carelessly balancing, the slip of
cherry wood in her band.
. The clear, bright face in the Corner
-was lifted-fora moment, the-dark—hazel
.eyeh looked steadily into kiss Burtnett's
blue oyes ..; .only for a moment, - the space
of a breath, the head went again steadily
with the endless maze of figures, - and
Burtnett wont on with her work.
' Bard. work it was, especially hard
work, to-day„ All day long the vivid
scarlet had burned in her cheeks, making
her passing lovely, ,-while her temples
throbbed with pain, and ono of 'the

when in the midst of the last recitation

For an instant Olive Burnett's heart
failed he•. Could she .muster courage
enough to ferrule Scott Goldrich, the
oldest aniyargest boy in the school—a
man grown ? The thought came, at last
that it was - unmanly for him to try her
so. put right or wrong, her word was.
pan( d and must be kept ; her authority
was assailed 'and must be maintained
now or lost altogether. To falter now
was to give up all.; So calling up all her
nerve, though hor head throbbed crazily,
silo closed book quietly, dismissed'
the class and . faced tlio school as she
said :
"Thu SI+11):11' who N% h ispered tbat

There was a dead silence LH: an in
stance, then, Scott Gold rick left Lip coat
and walked up to where the youing
teacher stood. No boyish inisehief was
in his .manni:r no munching defer
ence, no show or defiance, but; instead,
a quiet manliness, that was harder to
meet than ;my briivado would .have
been.
"You can ander:4.lnd, Mr:. Gold] ick,
that this is not a pleasant duty to me,"
her voice • steady, but lower than initial,
so low that some who worn nailing' did
not catch the Worths at-all.

She gave him her hand at that.
" No, but

he •really - saw in her face, plainly.
" Yeu aro really" sick. What can Ido

She tried to smile

one knee beside her chub, with half
bold; half easy, grace : "I have trouhled

laid over his mouth to stop him'. •
" But, Miss Burnett-you aro very ill,"
seriously nlarnied , •now at the sight of
her white face and closed eyes, for the
self-control maintained by force all day s
fup•to this-moment-hdd-given-away, sud

there, her breath corning In little short
gasps.
Unused to women's 'nodes and ways
ho was at loss what to do. Ho had an
idea, though, that when a lady faintpd,
cold water was the thing ; so ho sprinkled

for she made a weak. movement`to
draw herself from his arm, but he whiti. ,

the while of an odd, pleasant thrill at
his heart as her face lay so near hie that
he could have touched it with his lips.
If he had been a"dozei ye'ars older ho
would most likely have yielded to the
temptation and kissed the 'I3BOH back to
her chocks, but there was just the least
bit Of boyish timidity yet about him, and
besides 110 could not forgot that he 'had
been the cause of this very illness,- and

his thousands and aliie-to the brilliant,
courted young widow, Mrs. Logan.
She had grownheart-sick of teaching,
and one day in a desperate mood, gave
it up and married Paul Logan- the rich
land owner. Scott Goldriak heard of
it in the distant 'City, whore ho was liv
ing, and said "Such a pity ! She was
ono of a thousand, and deserves a bet
ter man than that."
Well, Paul Logan was better man
than Scott Goldrick's wor4 seem to
imply'; and better still, L is gold brought
all comforts to the helpless mother until
she died, and a home with,all the ad
vantages of wealth' to two little sisters.
And now, with her husband two years
i Cho grave Mrs. Logan weirit freely in
to society once more.
"Such a lovely woman," coon -said
when speaking other; and Scott Gold
tick indors-d the -. verdict when he met
her at a reception ono evening, and the
hostess supposing them to be rcquaintech,

But somehow, with this Ilatterin,g be

much ProgreS's in the renewal of their
acquaintanceship. Meeting often as
they did at Party and ball receptions, at
concerts, theatres mid operas, there was
always an undefinable , sornaring—a
distance between them ; and tttrasquite
at the close of hinter that, calling one
morning on Mrs Logan to Make his
adieu before leaving town, Scott Goia_
rick linglred a moment as he bowed
ores her hand at parting, to say half
jestingly, but yet in earnest, too :
" 110 you remp,mbor that old school

chair, just as 'Rite had dune t4lt evening

Sitting there buried in thought, she
did not hear the footsteps that •erossed
the. threshut —that passed at the door
and then canto to her, while - a voice
said :
Burnett., I am going away, wii
you bid ale good-bye?"
She looked up with a little cry—to
meet a pair of clear, haze), eyes, to see
before her-a bright, handsome face, and
heavy waves of chestnut hair.
"You are really here, Mr. tioldrick !
.I could almost believe that the old days
had 4me back again."
" You used to call me Scutt thou,'" ho
said significantly, corning round and
kneeling on ono knee beside her chair

She made a movement to ariso-but ho

earnestly, !' I made confession of my

For an instant slalput up her lined

A STRANG'S STORY,=About live years
ago a youth, apparently fifteen brnix
teen years of age, called at the publish
ing, hoase of John E. Potter & Co., in
.Philadelphia, and o . ffered amauuscript
story for pnbliaation. 31r. Potker, the
head of the firm, who happened to be in
at the time, smiled at 'the idea of one so
y,outhful.aspiring to appear in literature
as•the author of a book, .but finally, ,at
the urgent request of the boy, consented
to keep tho manuSeript •for a few clays
and look it over. When ho had done so
he was convinced that the story, while
evincing a hick of milished edimation
on the part of the boyish author, pos
gekiFed,considerable--merit-as an-exciting
novel, some of the scenmfbeing described
with wonderful 'power. and, after con

house, decided to publish

told him of-his conclusion, and it was
agreed that the author sliould receive
royalty of ton cents a - dopy on all. sold.
The story was duly published in book
form, under , the title of " White Rooks,i'
and since that - time one hundred. 'and
seventy thousand copies have boon`sold.'

to turn away and drive these thoughts

his tiny, silver voice sounding in , sweet

with an effect that shook every fibre.. I
fell upon my knees, and with fears
streaming from my eyes, joined - in the
concluding words of the priiyor.
1 need not say I changed my mind
with regard ,to the- money. I.passed
quiet night and rose early and hastened
away towards my journey's end, so as
to give myself the least possible time or
opportunity for changing my new

package to the agent, I said to him,.
that as the:e was. money in it, it might

me back the iiinount that was over with

It was fortunate for inn in every way
that 1 pursued the coo rise I had adopted.
It appeared that the money had been
obtained from the bank after bank hours,
in the ;thsence of the teller, from one of
the officers. There was no loose money
on hand of the larger denominations,
but there were sheets of thousands and
five hundreds signed by the PresidAt
and Cashier. Either two sheets , ere
picked up in mistake for one, or the
wrong batch of sheets wore selected
from, that is, thousands were taken in
stead of live hundreds. The notes were

money was with roe.. Whether I should
have had the face to withstand the im

doubt it.
But the note% in pursuance of a pre

caught of Lillas Raymond On the Sum

his fortune.
Ho had found it already—in a certain
sense—in no far as a man may, find treas
ure-trove in the rich abundance of a
wonian's lov'r; fur Lillas loved him, and
Lillas's heart was a gold mine in itself.
Sho turned' and went hack into the
house, with a glistening dow of tears
upon her cheek and a mournful quiver
on her lip.
"How silly I am !" she murnthrod to
herself. ."It will be butit"or ajear or
two at the furthest, and ho has much
more to endure and battle with than I."
And Lillas repined at the fate assigned
to her in the great play-bill of the world.
It was hare) to realize the truth of the
blind poet's words, that " they also servo
who only stand and wait."
If she - could only have worked, to earn
money and help him 3 if she might also
have been ( liiivileged to bear a weapon
in the strife. Alas I it is so hard to
stand still and count the seconds which
must elapse ore the crisis cf our fate
datvn s upon the leaden horizon of life. •
So Henry Dalmayne went to London,
and Lillas stayed at home to bear • the
separation as bost she might.

Henry was silent. The glitter of the
frescoed ceilings—the flash of silver and

him, all at - Once. Uncle P cicham •

that ho was really a fortunate inan.
