Army at first assumed an air if dignity and asserted that her interest in Charlie was simply that of the con scientious teacher in a pupil who worked hard to prepare himself for the battle of life. Her affection, she assured the mayor, was of tile Platonic character and Charlie's mother had 110 cause for alarm. "Oh, certainly I haven't," said the uitter, in a sarcastic tone. "No mother lias cause for alarm when her liftoon yoar-old boy is enticed from home three nights ill till! week by his sch.ool teacher and kept spooning before a wood lire un til o'clock in the morning. No mother should feci the least alarm when she sees her llttlo boy pining and growing thin from loss of sleep, moonshine and love— 110, indeed."

"I don't want to marry him —that isn't tile kind of feeling I have for him," said the little school ma'am. "I just want to help him get along in the world, that's all." "Oli, is it all'.'

Then turning to the mayor she asked, "What do you think I ought to do with him?" "Well," said the latter after lie had recovered from his lit of laughter. "1 believe the boy is sick and ought to have (lie doctor." "That so" said she "and he'll get him when we reach home. I)r. Hircli is the man and I know just where to find him. Come along Charlie" and seizing her son by the arm she dragged him out and would not oven permit him to say good bye to his sweetheart.
