STORY FROM THE START Handsome, fastidious and wealthy—young St. Croix Creighton awaits his sweetheart at their trysting place. She is late, this ordinary little Pennsylvania Dutch girl, Meely Schwenckton. Despite her seeming innocence and ignorance, she succeeds in keeping him at a distance, to his chagrin. Meely, In the Schwenckton home, where she is boarding, is altogether unlike the girl who meets St. Croix clandestinely. She is the teacher tn the neighborhood school, of which Marvin Creighton, St. Croix’ brother, is superintendent. Meely learns that Marvin was to have married his cousin, a titled English lady, but, believing she was attracted by the Creighton wealth, had refused the alliance. It Is the rumor that St. Croix Is to take Marvin’s place and marry the English girl. St. Croix’ Jealousy is aroused by Meely’s report of an aged suitor for her hand. The girl cleverly decoys him Into admitting he has no Intention of marrying her. CHAPTER IV—Continued Ever since Mr. Schwenckton had warned her that the superintendent would be visiting her school, she had gone cautiously; had been ready, at an instant’s warning, to have the children suddenly busy at the blackboard “doing tables” or something like that. But as ill luck would have it, it was on the very afternoon of his visit that she had become so entranclngly engrossed in her wide departure from “prescribed branches” that she never heard his knock on the schoolroom door, never saw him enter! —and God only knew how long he had been standing there watching her wild performance, when suddenly the faces of the children warned her. Her back was toward the door at the moment, but she did not have to turn to know he was standing there! Horror of horrors! That he should have caught her at such a moment as this, after all her precautions! She was so stunned with embarrassment she could not have turned around if her life had been the forfeit for not doing so! Pretending to be unaware of his presence, she moved stiffly to the edge of the platform and spoke faintly, directing the several grades to the orthodox blackboard or tablet work with which she had planned to propitiate him on his visit—though she knew she was just several minutes too late, now, to deceive him. She’d been caught red-handed —oh, oh ! Seating herself at her desk, her back still toward him, she awaited his approach. But he did not come. A hope leapt up in her heart that she had been mistaken. But she was still too terrified to look around. A step on the platform just back of her chair —and she barely suppressed a shriek. He stood before her, hat and gloves In one hand, the other held out to her. Blindly she rose and gave him her own. not daring to look up and meet his eye. As she did not invite him to be seated, he had to take care of himself. “With your permission?” ho said as he drew a chair forward and, motioning her to be reseated, sat down at her side—and she realized with fresh embarrassment her remissness in schoolroom hospitality. Laying his hat and gloves on the desk, he leaned back comfortably, as though settling himself to stay a while, folded his arms and —waited. Heavens ! —what was she expected to do? Perform pedagogically for his inspection, no doubt. Well, she couldn’t; she wouldn’t try ! But just to sit here— Ought she converse with him, entertain him? She stole a swift side glance at him. His eyes were thoughtfully contemplating the schoolroom. She might pretend ignorance of who he was; take him for a parent visiting the school. But her protracted silence seemed to give him an idea. “Perhaps I must Introduce myself? Mr. Creighton, your superintendent.” “Weli, I cannot tell a lie and say I’m glad to see you!” she hysterically brought out, “for I’m not!" He grinned. They all hated his visits, the county teachers, but they did not, as a general thing, frankly shriek at him! On the contrary! Palavered over him, flattered him, pretended to be pleased to death to see him. “Why?” he asked. “Got a guilty conscience?” She repressed a start. A guilty conscience she certainly did have and with good reason, hut he could not know that reason. What a cultivated voice he had —like St. Croix’—but with a grave thoughtfulness in his tone that interested her. She took a bit of comfort from the twinkle in his eyes. His difference from St. Croix was conspicuous enough—here was no air of superiority, no self-con-sciousness ; but an offhand directness which took it for granted that he was on your level, rather than that he accepted you on his. He impressed her on sight as being genuine. “I can’t teach before you!” she exclaimed, as though accusing him of our famous American “moral turpitude.” “I just can't and that’s all there Is about it!” (She made an effort to pronounce her a’s as in air rather than as in art, as her natural speech, she knew, would seem highly unnatural for a Kutztown Normal school graduate and a teacher in this vicinity.) “But —* H« turned In his chair and

faced her. Such an unprofessional mien as this he had not encountered In any schoolroom of the county. “I understand, Miss Schwenckton, that you are a graduate of Kutztown Normal school. Then you ought to know a lot more about this business of teaching than I do! I’m not a Kutztown Normal graduate.” She had nothing to answer. She almost hung her head, furious at her helpless stupidity; St. Croix had never put her to such confusion—- “ You are a normal school graduate, aren’t you?” .She slightly nodded. She had never in the least minded telling Ues to St. Croix. He regarded her doubtfully and If she could have read his mind, she would have had another cause for uneasiness ; for his brief experience as 1 BfeL x MT 1 “I Can’t Teach Before You!” She Exclaimed, as Though Accusing Him of Our Famous American “Moral Turpitude." county superintendent had taught him that what normal school graduates did not know about pedagogy was negligible; their superiority and their awareness of it, their poise, their condescending pity toward the unfortunate teachers who were not normal school graduates, he had found a little oppressive. Meely did not know it, but she was behaving more like the frightened, uncertain nongraduates that were mere certificate holders who had managed to pass the county superintendent's examination than like the self-confident Kutztowa graduates who were not required to take that examination. He sat back again and folded his arms with an air of determination. “I’m here to hear you teach,” he said firmly. “Please call a class and teach!” “You teach them something,” she brightly suggested. “Oh!” she exclaimed hopefully, “don’t you want to make a speech to them?” (She knew how men loved making speeches; loved the sound of their own voices before an audience.) “That’s not what I’m here for,” he returned. “I don't want to interrupt your program—what were you doing

Took Roundabout Trip to Escape Pursuers

One of the unnamed heroes of the South in the Civil war staged an unusual exploit that Is still one of the most interesting traditions of Mobile bay. While the federal tieet lay off Fort Morgan, this Southern sailor, out in a small sailboat, was chased by some of the enemy boats. Seeing them trying to intercept him he used all his sail power and nautical skill and headed eastward. For miles the chase continued and he left his pursuers behind. However, he knew they would be watching for him to return, so he kept on to the east, sailing to Appalachicola, Fla., where he loaded his craft on a river steamer and made a trip of several days up the Chattahoochee to Columbus, Ga. There he transferred to a train for Opelika, then to Montgomery, Ala. At that point he changed cars for Hurricane, Ala., taking his boat along, and at Hurricane he launched his craft in the Tensaw river. He sailed down the river to Mobile bay and then down A Walk With Thoreau To take a walk with Thoreau, one must rigidly adhere to the manners of the woods. He could lead one to the ripest berries, the hidden nest, the rarest flowers, but no plant life could be carelessly destroyed, no mother bird lose her eggs. First he would give a curious w’hlstle and a woodchuck would appear—a different whistle and two squirrels would run to him A different note yet and birds would fly and even so shy a bird as a crow would alight on his shoulder. The children must be mute and very motionless till each pet was fed from his pocket and had departed. Thus the children were introduced to his family, as he called them. — Mary Hosmer Brown, in “Memories of Concord.’’

when I came in? Proceed with that" “I —I can’t!” “But I only want to see you In your usual routine —” “I—l was breaking the usual routine —” “From what I observed as I entered, I must say I’m glad It was only a breaking of the usual routine! Now, will you call a class in—er—geography, we’ll say?” “You'd laugh at me." “But look here! Will you tel! me what you do here all day If you don't teach?” “Oh, I do teach—of kaws—courrse I teach! But you see”—she suddenly picked up courage and launched forth —“I have my own original way of teaching—and if you’re the conventional school man, originality would be highly offensive to you.” “Now you make me very curious! Let’s have a sample of this originality “You see, I hold that children should be taught," she discoursed airily, adopting somewhat the tone of a platform lecturer, “what is for their immediate use and pleasure, rather than for the future, for only so will they grow. You don’t grow by what you store up, but by what you use and assimilate. So I—” “Wait! Is this your own, or recited from some textbook of modern pedagogy?” “Entirely my own that I've forged out for myself—though others may also have forged It out —that I can't say. The goal which I set before my pupils Is not marks and grades, but knowledge.” “Excellent! Knowledge of what, for Instance?” “Os whatever Interests them. They’re not much interested In arithmetic and grammar and spelling. You can Interest them In science, history, geography (geography only when taught entertainingly, as I teach It), poetry, stories, plays—” “Sounds so good, I think I’ll come to school to you! Do call up a geography class." “I don't know so much about geography, really—do you know,” she smiled, “until quite recently I thought the North and South of the Civil war here In the United States were divided by the Mississippi river! I—” She stopped short in dismay—now she had given herself away! No American on earth had ever supposed such a thing as that! “My sense of direction," sho murmured with a nervous laugh, "was always weak ! I —" No use —you couldn’t explain away such lunacy. Might as well keep quiet and let him draw what conclusions he would. He made no comment. He had given her one swift, penetrating glance; but at her obviously painful embarrassment had mercifully looked away. “Kindly call up a geography class." he urged after a moment. In a tone which, though courteous, was a command. “I’d rather not. If you'll kindly excuse me. The. one thing these children seem to need.” she said, reverting to her lecture-platform tone tn her effort to divert him from his yearning to hear her teach geography, “is to have their Imaginations roused. Before I came they didn't know the commonest, most familiar stories—Cinderella, Jack, the Giant Killer, Arabian Nights. Imagine American children so benighted! Those children knew all the multiplication tables and all the capitals of the 37 states—" “Forty-seven.” “I mean forty-seven, of kaws—courrse —though strict accuracy in unimportant details always did strike me as rather a fault than a virtue tn a teacher, for a good teacher should have a mind above Insignificant facts —” “Ten of these United States is not an ‘insignificant fact,’ exactly. I'm afraid I must insist, Miss Schwenckton, upon your calling a geography class. Everything you say makes me more and more eager every minute to hear you teach a class In the geography of the United States.” “I'm sorry not to oblige you, Mr. Creighton. I’ll be very glad to allow you to examine the blackboard work —you’ll find it quite creditable—” “But this. Miss Schwenckton, is insubordination! Remember I’m your superior officer!” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

British Coal Abundant For her size, Great Britain has more and better coal than any other country in the world. The coal seams, lying one below another to an unknown depth, not infrequently cropping out at the surface, are proof that tropical conditions once prevailed in the latitude of these islands. The district which Is now Great Britain was connected in primeval times with the continent, and the coal of England doubtless runs under the channel and the southern part of the North sea, continuing in the coal fields of northern France, Belgium and Flanders. Baseball's Origin Baseball was known in various forms in the East for years before it received organized recognition, but its birthplace is a matter of dispute. Philadelphia takes the credit as far back as 1833, and New York claims that its Washington club, organized in 1843, was the first exponent of the actual game. Baseball as a national game really came into existence in 1858, with the formation of a National Association of Baseball Players, including the clubs of New York and vicinity. Sizes of Planets The naval observatory says that the smallest of the major planets is Mercury; diameter about 3,000 miles. Os the minor planets or asteroids, some are so small that it is impossible to measure their diameters. Jt is estimated that the smallest are less than 10 miles in diameter.

[ 1 Howe Abouti J ED HOWE : ©, Bell Syndicate. WNU Service. A noted doctor lately said that everywhere he notes the people are taking better care of their health; he expressed the belief that the average layman now knows more about hygiene than the average doctor did ■ twenty years ago. I sincerely hope this is true. This is an age of information, because of endowed scientific men. And the results of their experl- | periments are printed in newspapers, magazines and books. There is available in every home now a university, I the course simplified for popular un- | derstanding. Why should not ordii nary people become educated, and [ share In the benefits of modern dls- ■ coveries? After the people have learned the । truth about health, let them advance i to finance, public affairs, sociology, all very simple, but Immensely important. There Is no such thing as the ndlienium we once looked for. The brighter day we formerly expected is still far over the horizon. The problem we confront Is an individual one, and every num must handle it for himself. There Is no perfume In a newspaper rose; no nourishment in a magazine loaf; everyone must provide tils own. The great preaching Is the good example of Individuals. Those In your i audience remark not what you say, but what you do. A clean, well-be-haved. successful, useful man Is more valuable to a community than any dozen of Its theory men. If you are behaving properly, you are preaching properly. * * # I shall pass on presently, and am not personally Interested, but sincerely wish those younger might find a more agreeable plan of association of the sexes.

Hoy many of them are “be omers”? Are not your most useful men noted for quite effectiveness rather than for noisy spluttering In clubs? The Idea In everything is to get things done, not to talk about them. It is a bad habit to clamor for more tl.an you can get. ns most people do.

Improved Uniform International | SimdaySchool ' Lesson ’ (By REV. e B FITZWATER. D.D.. Dean Moody Bible Institute ot Chicago.) (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 11 JESUS FEEDS THE MULTITUDE LESSON TEXT—Mark 6 31-44. GOLDEN TEXT—I am the bread Os life; he that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. PRIMARY TOPIC—An Unusual Meal. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Hungry Crowd Fed. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Jesus Meeting Every-Day Needs. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Jesus’ Compassion for Human Need. I. Jesus' Invitation to the Weary Disciples (vv. 31, 32). The apostles bad just returned . from an evangelistic tour in Galilee with a report of what they had done and taught. Their ministry occasioned no little stir. Besides, Jesus Himself continued to preach. As a result of their combined ministry, the commotion was so great I that there was no opportunity for resting or eating. In such a time of need Jesus invited His disciples to retire from the crowd and rest. In order to do this they departed privately by ship for n desert place. Periods of withdrawal from the | crowd in fellowship with the Ixtrd are necessary after evangelistic campaigns. They serve a double purpose. 1. To get the eyes of the ministers off themselves and their work. 2. To prevent despondency for their failures. 11. Jesus Teaching the Ignorant Multitude (vv. 33, 34). 1. Thronged by the people (v. 33). The wonderful words and works of I the Lord and His disciples brought the multitudes to them. To escape the throng they took their depa^ure for a desert place (v. 32). Seeing the Lord and His disciples depart, the people from the surrounding Citic'S anticipated their landing place, and. proceeding thither, welcomed the ship upon its arrival. 2. The I.ord moved with compassion (v. 34). Instead of becoming Irritated by the Intrusion of the crowd His heart was moved with pity. His personal Interests wore forgotten ns the needs ' of the sbepherdless sheep nn-s^ed upon His notice, therefore He beean to tench them many things. J•■s|l^ is now the same compassionate Savior, touched with the feelings of our infirmities (Heb 4:15). 111. Jesus Feeding the Hungry Multitude (vv. 35-44). 1. Conference with the disciples (vv. 35-38). (1) The disciples request that the multitude be sent to the surrounding villages to buy bread (v. 3G). Accord Ing to Matthew, Christ made the proposition that the multitude be fed (Matt. 14:16). (2) Jesus commands them to feed the multitude (v 37) (3) The disciples’ perplexity (v. 37). They began to calculate ns to the nmount of provisions required. They I asked the Lord whether they should go and buy two hundred ixuinyworth of bread. Their perplexity was due to the fact that they were depending upon their own resources Instead of Christ. To be face to face with the humanly impossible has a threefold benefit, (a) It makes ns realize our dependence upon Christ; (b) Drives us to Him for help In our need; (c) Leads us to give Him the glory for the results. Though our ability to teach, preach or to give, bo meager, when coupled with the Lord's ability. It is equal to any demand. 2. Jesus' method in feeding the multitudes (vv. 39-44). (1) The Lord's part. Tills was to issue instructions as to the method of procedure and to create the provision. Though they had but five loaves and two fishes He so increased . them that the need of the hungry i multitude was met. (2) The disciples’ part. They were to have the people sit down in cum- ; panies so as to facilitate distribu- | tion. They then took that which the Master had blessed and distributed It to the people. The disciples’ responsibility was not for the creation ! of the provision, but for its distribu- j tion to the people. (3) The people’s ; part. Their part was not to create, nor distribute, but obediently to sit down and partake of the provision Even after the bread had been blessed by the Lord and distributed by the disciples, they would have famished | with hunger had they not partaken of the food. Unless the people re- ! ceive Jesus Christ and the salvation ' which He has provided they shall eternally starve. The Lord has d< ne His part. The disciples are under j solemn obligation to do their part | and the final responsibility rests upon the people. - - ______ Christians and Christ Some Christians make a great deal ! of themselves and little of Christ, while others make a little of themselves and a great deal of Christ. When a person considers that he is growing little in the sight of the Lord, in reality he is finding the true grace and goodness of the God < f mankind. —D. L. Moody. Need Encouragement All about you are discouraged people. Many a man showing a brave front to the world is only practicing that holy hyprocrisy which Christ j speaks of when be tells men to anoint their heads and appear not unto men to fast. They are bearing heavy loads bravely, but they need a word of encouragement.—Maltbie D. Babcock.

The Overactor Louts Marshall, the New York lawyer who represents the theater ticket agencies, was criticizing a young actor. “This young fellow,” he said, “overacts. I’d like to tell him the anecdote about Doctor Johnson. It would do him good. “Doctor Johnson was finding fault one day with the acting of his friend, David Garrick, in the ghost scene of ‘Hamlet.’ He ridiculed Garrick’s overacting, and when he finished Boswell said: “‘But that famous start! Wouldn’t you, sir, start just as Mr. Garrick does, if you saw a ghost?’ “‘I hope not,’ said Johnson. If I did, I should frighten the ghost.’ ” Joan of Arc Easy Winner The world’s greatest woman was Joan of Arc, according to the results of the prize letter contest on the ten greatest women in history, conducted by the New Age Illustrated.
