IHJ3 CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 22, 1000. Modern Waterloo It was a great disappointment to Peter Sturdy to find himself at the end of his college career a physical wreck from overstudy. Ho had plan ned great things for the future, and though filled with amhltlon he was glad to accept the post of district school teacher In one of the Western States. He hoped that a year spent In tho pure air of that far country with the simple duties would restore him to his former good health. True, when ho found tho school numbered About 50 pupils In classes ranging from primer to graduation he was filled with some foreboding. Certainly tho report and rapid re treat of the former teacher were not encouraging; but old Mr. Slocum had not come fresh from college with con fidence In his own powers. In fact, anything that savored of difficulty rather attracted the younger man's nature, and tho same dogged strengtn that had carried hira through to gain his sheepskin would bo with him in this venture, so he determined to win out. come what might. It was now near the closing of tho year and everything had gone smooth ly since the first big storm, when ho had shown his calm strength and re serve force in, dealing with some of the larger boy3 bout cn making mis chief. But to-day ho had to acknowl edge to himself defeat, though to all outwaid appearances ho hnd been vic torious. The cause of all the troublo was still sitting at the rough desk at his request. She sat calm and ab sorbed, while the others studied with that hushed air following excitement of any kind. She looked the embodiment of health and youth, a girl of perhaps 18 years. Her features were bold and perfectly chiselled, and her skin was of that pure bronze tint found in windy localities'. Her hair was soft and dark and she wore It loosely coil ed at the back of her head. A few stray curls at tho temples softened tho otherwise strong face too strong for perfect feminine beauty. On ac count of her height, she occupied tho last seat in the corner and was so far advanced in her studies that she con stituted a class of her own. That afternoon Philip had asked her for her ulgobra lesson and she had replied that It was not ready. "Then bring mo what you have fin ished." "I haven't any ready," was her con tinued reply. "Don't you understand it?" "Yes." "Yes." "Then what have you been doing?" Silence followed and the girl made no attempt to explain. An expectant hush pervaded the whole room, all tho pupil3 wondering what would happen. Philip waited; somehow he did not understand himself. He was not an gry, but a great wave of love and pity for tho girl before hira rose up In his heart. It seemed a critical mo ment, and he realized that the future discipline of the school hung on his conduct for the next few minutes. Hushing the pleading of his heart, he steeled his voice and said, "Miss Wal lace will please remain after school." It was with relief that Philip saw the hand of the clock near the hour of dismissal, and soon the last eager Toot had left the building. Ho sat at his desk correcting exercises, while all the street country sounds called to him through the open windows. The girl was staring out of tho window. Glancing at her, Philip saw her face was drawn and flushed. Gathering up his papers he left his desk and went slowly towards her. She neith er moved eye nor muscle until he ask ed for the work. Silently she handed him tho neatly-figured paper and he a3 silently looked it over and marked it correct. "Miss Wallace, I don't think you realize how hard you made it for mo to-day. Your example has a great in fluence on the other pupils, and I had hoped for your co-operation. Nov will you please show me what you wero doing this afternoon when you should have been working?" "I should rather not," answered tho girl, covering with her' hand a blocK of paper in front of her. "But I insist," he said gently but firmly, taking the paper from her. Turning it over he saw a finished pen cil sketch of himself. He was very much surprised. It was a clever piece of work, and only an artist could have caught the expression of tho proud face and portrayed the charac ter of the man as this did. The girl's head drooped and the tear-Iadon eye lashes swept the burning cheeks. Slowly Philip drew his watch from his pocket and opening the back lid said very gently, "Helen, look." Something In the tender vibrating voice made the girl turn her head. In cased In bis watch was her own proud face. The long-restrained tears now fell freely, but somehow they were not un happy ones, for her smiling tear stained face and ruffled hair were pressed close to his heart "Am I quite forgiven?" she whispered archly, and In those words the proud nature of the woman surrendered to the no bler one of the man. For answer ho turned tho girl's face towards his own and kissed the quivering lips. The shadows grew longer and the last lingering sunbeams flooded tho rough walls of the old schoolhonse, brightening them with their soft glory. And the sombre twilight seemed to bring with It a benediction of quiet and peace to those two who went out together with their love to face the future Tnr.TSANnn is r.vvnw PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TlfB CONSTITUTION -SUBMITTED TO THE CITIZENS OP THIS COMMON WEALTH FOR THEIR APPROVAL ON lllSJISUTIUN.
