HETTY'S REVENGE, "Molly Cuminitiif a, you may coino out hero lu ma," A black-eyed girl in the thlrtl sent In llio second low of tho liillo log achoolhouse ai'oso promptly and walked to tho Icaclioi's ilask. Tlio tcnclior stood u . Slio ktepped around to the side of the desk (lie bet tor to fix Hatty's eyes with lier own- "Hetty, whut Old you do to Antilo Jenkins just now ?'' Ilcfore tho qnoslion teas well out of lier mouth tho answer flushed b:ic!: "Put somu cold shot down liei- back. I brought it n purpose." Tho 'cachet's whlto fingers tight, ened on tho desk and she opened lier tips twice before alio spoke. On, you did, did you?" She l'elt this to be nn uitci'Iy insano roiiiark, but to savo lierself sho could not think of anything else. No need to have tixed tboso eyes of Holly's they were relentlessly and unfliiicli. Ingly fastened on lier fucc. To net tlioni oil, she remarked: "You may go to your sent and I will attend to you later." She sat down again at i lie rough redwood dosk. U was near the closo of school. It bad been a liard day nud Hetty was about tho last straw. Sho tried to reason, and finally with out reasoning she broathed to lierself: "I'll give it up. I simply cannot land it." For one moment she sat very still, trying to slop the quivering of her nerves, i Then tuking a large shaky looking loiter in Iter hand, she arose and stood bef ro I he school. Chil dren,'' alio began, "wo cannot have our picnic on tho 9th of September. I received a let tor from Mr. Johnson this morning and I will read you what he ays." Thou she read the tetter aloud : "1 heorcd you were a-comin' up to my I'cscrvore next week to liav a grand liino, an' want to say that 1 don't want you an' your trlbo a-rtin-niu through my meadows an' bcsiIii' my fish an' snushln' my straw burrlcs, so you'll have to look out fur soino oilier place, an' thoro ain't none. ?w "H. JOHNSON'." It was the horriblo uukindnoss In that last phrase which had hurt the young teacher when she roccive.l the totter; and now a alio read It again ber Up trembled ao that she could scarcely continuo: Children, I am" tho white fingers tightened again "the picnic will have to bo given up because wo might find another place but I shall only be Willi you throo more day. I'm going home R ist I" At the word "East" a tremulous mile broko over ber lips and ended Su gasp. She sat down and laid her bead on ber desk with a moan of physical pain, while tho sobs camo thick and fast. The little clock said (t was time to dismiss school. For a momeut the children were held quiet by tlio algn of thoir teachor lu tears, then with faces balf-frlghtoned, half shamed, they gathered up their dinner-buckets and stolo out, disappear ing behind a rise lu the road. The young teacher still sat there. Every sow and then she said over and over to herself. "I've given it up!" I've given It up!" with every time a fresh sob. "Everybody East said I would" bore a great gasp "and 1 have! People art to ignorant here stocks and atones. It's no use trying to do anything, even the children ure lltllo brutes." She wa half-blind with tears, but' he became conscious of a red calico dress, just theu, a skirt blowing in a (be door and curling uround the jamb. " It was turkoy-red yos, it was Holly's dress, and her freckled nose and great black eyes. It was Hetty Cuinmlngs bold, bard, brutal little Hetty, Sho stood full lu tlio door and gazed at the teacher. Hor eyes wero blucker thun ever, but a soft black now. The red mouth was vary gentle, and that ag gravating curve around ber nose was gone. As the little girl mot the teacher's fiance all the ugly lines came back. Mean old thing!" alio said, through ber teeth, "I'll fix lilm." Down the schoolliome lull Hetty flew and out upon the main road, where she struck Into a steady and de termined wulk. Her black eyes were bln.lng. She delivered kicks to sun dry bunches of sage-bmli without once Inking ber gnr.e oil' the distant road ahead. This road stretched down tho valley into one of those vast sage-brush pluiui lying on the border of Nevada. Whero was Hctllo going? She evi dniitly knew. There was something to reach nt tho end of that rouil, it was II. Johnson, the writer of tho teacher's letter, mid In her heart she wns kicking liim Instead of tho sage brush. This II. Johnson was a man who lived n hermit's not to say n dog's life, In a log cabin away on the edge of the plain at tho foot of tho Sierra Nevada ridge, lie had turned a mountain si ream upon his land, and by 1 years of bnck-breaklug labor, had transformed it Into a paradise compared to tlio arid waste around It. Ho had founded a reservoir or fWh pond, and run his domain into tho cool forest. Oh, won't I fix lilm, though!" Hetty was getting tired, and she said this, I think, to keep up her in dignation. She had never been to II. Johnson's rabiu, and she didn't know bow much further it might be, but she hud no Intention of owning thul alio was tired. She had walked three miles already ; just hero tho road turned shnqvy to tho left, and sl.e began to go towards the mountain. Soon she camo in sight of tho green, plcasaut planta tion. Now, how should she proceed to "tlx" him! Hetty bad hud several horrible dark schemes in her mind when alio started out Hut as she d'ew uoaror thoy all seemed tame and foolish. "I'll just sneak tip and get the lay of tho laud," she said, "ami thou 1 can tell what I'll do." She slid from one tree to another as she drew nearor and nearer the cabin, a low structure near the edge of a stream. If lio's in tlio house I'll lay low tll dark, and then I'll do something fear ful," gnashed Hetty. There was no sign of life about thn place; nothing bin tho silence of tho Into afternoon. The golden light lay over the rough logs, tho low chimney, and glittered on a heap of tin cans just outside tho door. Tho stream rippled softly. The shadows of llio reed grasses lay on the doorstep. Tho wrathful lilltu g.il stood thero just thrilling with interest. Sho expected every minuie to see the crabbed, sel fish old man cincrgo from the open dour. She moved slowly towards It. Thoro alio waited. Not a sound; not a breath. Slowly she crept to tho door and peeped uround tho jamb with eyes of starllod expectancy. No ono was there. Sho stepped on the door-log with an air of possession uud gazed boldly Into tho room. Weill eho-o-t tho house!" was hor slow comment, as sho contemplated with childish disgust the dirt uud con fusion. Now was Hotly's chance tlio old man gone and his possessions wero ut hor disposal. She could tear, rcud, destroy, bum. Hut she stood in tho same position, looking intently Into the room. Suddenly she turned around and gazed Into the stream. Hor faco was thoughtful. Suppose" she began. Then stop pod with dreamy eyes and sut down on the door-stop with hor chin In ber band. "Just supposing, ', she began again, and thou fell to dig. glng tho too of ber shoe into tho toft earth. Suddenly sho jumped up and disap peared inside; an hour passod with little more sound than before. Then Hetty camo hurriedly out, with a queer expression on her face, and al. most flew from the cabin straight to lier homo. Sho was In her placo at school as usual tho noxt morning. So was tho tescher. There was a subduod and painful atmosphore In tho room. Tho classes moved to and from their scats, seeming to koop u watchful eyo upon the teacher, as though she might do something strange at any inomeul. Siidduuly every head turned at a tremendous knock nt the door. Hetty dimming' s heart guvo one leap, and than sho commenced to work arithmetic ns she had never worked it It before. At look from the teacher, one of the boys opened tho door. A tall man e Jgod lu aud tuaJe his way to the dosk whore the teacher stood. He bad bout shoulders, straggling gray whiskers, uncertain, light eyes. If Hetty bad looked np she would have seen a seared expression lu them to match that In bor own. Tho teacher wailed, standing. The children dropped every thing to listen. "Mom," ho began, one big band on the desk and his eyes looking out of the window, "I come down I' thank ye for what ye did to my cabin. Taiu't bad a woman's band ou't since It wns built, an' when I cotus home lired plumb out 'u totind that room a-lookln' like my mother's siltlu' room nt home, th' cupboard straightened out, 'n tho store swept up, 'n the bed in ado like a while mail's, 'n tho sugar bowl clean why I just darsont stay lu. An' I sat down on tho doorstep, an' the crickets or snthln' kep' a talk lu'r tin' I got to scemiu' like I was sit tin' on the doorstep 't home, 'it the Sunday-school teacher 1 bad when 1 was a boy why she kep' a-comln, up, an' sutuiu' run through mv mind about coals o' lire beln' hoapod on peo ple's heads, an' then I says, 'It's tha' school tcuchcr, that's who It 1st She' been a-lieupin' coals of tiro onto my bead.' And then the crickets orsutblu' seemed !o say, 'Supposlu' I was that Sunday-schoul toacher that was n trylu' to touch way out Iter; in tho wilds 'thout nobody to rare whether rlio lived or died Just supposlu' some body sent hern loiter like that hero the old man straightened and turned a steadier eyo on llio teacher ''n sj I thank you, young woman, 'u the hull of you kin come to my ranch 'n if I don't give you tho rustlinostgood time ever you had, then I'm not u belter man!" He turned at tho last words and with two shaky strikes was out of tho door, beforo the astonlshod teacher could say a word. She looked dazed until hcroyn rested on Hetty Ciimmings one look was atiUlcivnt to toil her that with Hetty lay some port of the mystery. Just what Hetty's look was like I could never tell you how astontshed and delighted, how wide-eyed and glowing with intelligence! Anyway that look enabled the teacher to say calmly: "The third class In arithmetic wil' plcaso stop to tho front." It was hard for Hetty to wait until noon. Yet, when noon came and sho was called to tho dosk, sho folt uncom fortable. Tho teacher looked into her flushed faco nud downcast eyes, and a half smile came to her lips. Hetty," rniil she, "what do you know about Mr. Johnson's house?'' Tho Utile touch of demand lu tlio teacher's tone, brought Hetty's tiro to a glow. Sho threw back ber head. "Why, I was gain' to lis old Johnson for writiu 'hut mean letter to you, that all uud I'd a-done II, t jo only say, wasn't it funny, teacher?" drawing near in an lined way "that's just whut 1 said ubout lilm. His homo was just awful, teacher, nn' so lonesome, an' I got to thinning 'now, just sposlii' it was my father liviii' liko thul?'' nu' I just couldn't help fixlu' It up and any you won't lull lilm who it was, will you? 'Cuiiso it will be all the sumo to him. Wasn't It funny that ho said supposin' about you? It must bo a good thing to sup. poso about people, don't you think? 'Cause 1 foe I fearful happy after, wards. It must bo a fearful good way," she added dreamily reinembor lug tho old mail's face as be went out. The teacher stood quite still a little whilo. Then she put both bauds on Hetty's shoulders and looked down Into the bravo black eyes and said: "Hetty, I'm not going homo, I'm going to try supposin' about every ono hero. I'm going to stay, Hotly," Tho toucher and Johnson and the wholo school silently ngrrod in their minds on tho day of tho picnic; that "just supposin'" was a "iouiful good way" of looking at things.
