CHAPTER V—Continued —l2— Meely decided that for at least a few weeks she could breathe freely, and feel comparatively secure from the danger of a visit. And that very morning, just after recess time, as the children were trooping in from the playground, he walked In on her. “Oh, dear, you here again!" she openly lamented as he, without offering her his hand, bowed rather curtly and drew forth a platform chair —not. however, seating himself while she stood, a courtesy to which she had, for so many months, been a stranger, that it thrilled her, to her amusement, almost as much as St. Croix’ “manners” had thrilled Nettie the night before. “I'm here,” he grimly stated, standing behind his chair and folding his arms with a resolute. Napoleonic air that made her heart sink, “to hear you teach geography!” “Here I stand —so help me Gawd I" she mocked at his determined mien. “Martin Luther I” “And I don’t leave this schoolroom until I have heard you!” “Oh. gee I” she sighed. He set his lips and stared straight ahead of him. “I’ve had this school on my conscience since you yourself admitted that you can’t teach. We can’t let these children suffer from your—excuse me—incompetence. Will you call a geography class, Miss—Schwenck ton ?” • Did he or did he not hesitate over her name? She could not feel sure. “But why this passionate interest In geography?” she complained. “Aren’t you longing to see me teach spelling? I’ll call a spelling class—” “Geography, if you please.” “I suppose,” she said accusingly, “you just want to expose me as not knowing any geography of the United States! Well, if you call that chivalrous—” “I’m not here to be chivalrous, but to hear you teach.” “Why won’t spelling do?” “I prefer geography.” “Just because I jokingly pretended to think there were forty-seven states instead of fifty-seven!—and told you that when I was a mere child, I thought the Mississippi river ran east and west!” “Exactly.” “Well,” she said reflectively, “well, Mr. Creighton, before I take your request into consideration, will you tell me what is the extent of your power over my job? Can you take it from me?” “I can advise your school board to take it from you. But,” he hastily added, “of course I don’t want to! I’d hate like the dickens —” Again he pulled himself up. “I should greatly dislike,” he said primly, “to resort to such stringent measures.” “That’s better —sounds more professional,” she encouraged him. “Be professional or die!” The children of the school were all seated now—rigidly upright in the presence of that magnate, the county superintendent—and Meely could no longer dally with the situation; she must decide what to do. She might repeat the successful geography lesson she had already given that morning on Italy—though a deliberate repetition of the whole performance would be so astonishing to the children as to be embarrasing to their teacher! For Venice, she had given them the songs of the gondoliers, and Impersonations of Portia and Shylock; for Naples, street beggars and coral workers; for Rome, impersonations of Caesar and Mark Antony with tales of gladiators interspersed; for Florence, impersonations of Savonarola and the Medici. Much more than the school had been able to digest at one dose, but she had enjoyed it, feeling how cleverly she was doing it—ah. there was the rub! She did it too cleverly, too professionally. She couid not risk offering It to Marvin Creighton. Well, then, nothing left but to try to give a geography lesson in the prosaic, uninteresting way she had seen it done in a school she had visited, where the teacher, for a weary half hour, had had the children telling glibly what states enclosed other states. What had the teacher called that —a certain word she had used? “I’ll bore this man so he’ll keep away from here for the rest of his life!” she determined. “Zebilla,” she addressed the brightest girl of the class that she summoned to stand before the desk, while she and the superintendent now sat behind it, “enclose the state of Pennsylvania.” Zebilla looked blank. “What’s that Im to do?” “Enclose Pennsylvania,” repeated Meely confidently. Zebilla still looked unenlightened—even dazed. “I wouldn’t know how to. I don’t know right how you mean—enclose it!” Meely saw she had gotten the wrong word. “I mean—surround it; tell what states, if any. surround it—or what bodies of water, or whatever does enclose, surround or circumscribe it!” she explained desperately. “Ach, do you mean. Miss Schwenekton, I’m to bound Pennsylvania?” “That’s the word—yes, bind it.” A snort from the county superintendent was a signal for the amazed school and they broke into a roar of laughter that revealed to the embarrassed teacher how seriously she had erred. Her face flushed crimson. She hated this monster sitting on her platform laughing till the desk shook! She rapped for order. The school became quiet. "Proceed,” she said to Zebilla coldly. “Pennsyl-wania is bounded on the north —•"

When Zebilla had finished, Meely took as long a time as possible in drilling her to pronounce the letter V by catching her lower.lip between her teeth. She prolonged this drilling to the point of absurdity, for if she called on any other pupil of this class to bound a state, she herself would have to keep her eyes glued to the map to see that they got It right. With Zebilla Zook that had not been necessary, for Zebilla could be depended upon to answer correctly. She always knew her lessons with depressing thorbujfhness. So it was not until the poor girl became restive and resentful under her prolonged drilling that the teacher desisted. “Bind Connecticut, Hiram,” she at last proceeded most reluctantly. “Connecticut is bounded on the north by Massachusetts, on the east by Rhode Island —” “Oh, come, an Island can’t bind anything. What is an Island, Hiram?” she asked, very pleased at Hiram’s blunder, for here she could be sure of her ground; she did at least know the forms of land and water! “But Rhode Island,” said Hiram, gazing at her almost in horror, “ain't no island—” Her finger on the map, she could see for herself, now, that It wasn't—and turning hot and cold with consternation, she yet tried to save herself. “Very good, Hiram—l was trying to catch you up! Os course we all know how it came to be called an island? Zebilla?” But Zebilla, her stand-by, failed her there—she did not know’! “I’ll ask the class,” said Meely hastily, “to look that up for next lesson.” She feared she was not succeeding in her plot to “bore” the sup< rlntendent. She saw. In a quick side glance, that he looked anything but bored. Indeed, he seemed to be enjoying himself. Probably he’d stay the rest of the day! Oh, how she hated and despised him! Conceited pedagogue! After a few more states had been bound (her eyes and finger fastened the while to the map) she heaved a sigh of relief and dismissed the class to their seats. “Now you’ve had your heart’s desire and have heard me teach geography. What further,” she Inquired with dignity, “can I do for you?” “I leave it to you.” he bowed, making no move whatever to go. She decided to call up a reading class. There were no serious pitfalls for her tn American literature. That Is, if she could manage to resist the temptation to act out the reading lesson, in case It happened to be a “piece” (as the pupils would say) that lured her to a dramatic execution of It! She settled that danger by ordering the class to turn to a speech of Theodore Roosevelt’s. And too late she realized her mistake. The speech abounded in political allusions which none but a native American would understand. If only no one asked any questions! They so seldom did manifest curiosity about anything—but It w’ould be just like the perversity Os fate to inspire one of them to show’ off before the superintendent. A hand was raised—the youngest little girl in the class. “Please, Miss Schwenckton, what does G. A. R. mean ?” Meely beamed with pleasure, for this w r as a question she could, as luck would have it, answer with convincing intelligence. She rejoiced that little Becky had been moved to ask it. “The G. A. R. Is a society of American women,” she blithely replied, “the Granddaughters of the American Revolution, whose ancestors came over In the Mayflower.” “Well," said Meely Icily, as she stood with the superintendent behind

The first city in the world to Install dogs as regular members of the police force was the quaint old city of Ghent, in Belgium. Years ago the chief of police of Ghent pointed out to the governing authorities that a cleverly trained dog could run down a criminal more surely and quickly than any two-legged policeman, and that it was better to risk a dog’s life rather than that of an officer. The idea found favor and the chief was commissioned to get his dogs. This he did and trained them to distinguish between skulking criminals and the ordinary reputable citizen, who walks by day. Special kennels were built tn the police stations, and collars, coats and muzzles were provided in the way of uniforms. The dogs proved particularly useful to the police at night and saved much running backwards and forwards. These dogs are so highly Intelligent that chey refuse food from strangers, bring home lost children, etc. Many of them are so anxious to The Other Man’s Job It is useful to examine our own capabilities when we find ourselves envying the lot of others. Are we making good in our own sphere of work? That is the first test. If we are merely pottering along In an undistinguished way the chances are we should do the same in any other role. In our own work we are very conscious of its difficulties and barriers. Our advancement is slow because we daily encounter the little lets and hindrances that are hidden from the outsider. But these would be much the same in any other job. If we cannot surmount them in our own case, it Is unlikely we should be more successful in a position with which we are wholly unacquainted-— Exchange.

her desk at the end of the morning session, “I suppose that awful conscience of yours will force you to advise the school board to discharge me for ‘incompetence’ I” They were practically alone now, those of the pupils who did not go home for the noon meal having gone out of doors to eat their luncheon. Mr. Creighton shook his head. “No, I can't be expected always to act disinterestedly for the good of society— I’m only human, after all—and yours is the only schoolroom I’ve ever visited that hasn’t bored me to death! Whenever I’m dull and need a riot of fun, I can just drop in here and hear you teach geography I No, I cannot rise to such heights of altruism as to recommend your dismissal I It’s asking too much ! I'm only hu—” “Well, believe me," she retorted resentfully, “you’ll not get a chance to sit 'round here making fun of me—• I’ll resign I” She turned away haughtily—but she was too good an actress not to know that she was not tall enough to look haughty Impressively — and suddenly, without warning, she found herself crying. Desperately she fought to control herself, more mortified at such a childish display than she could possibly feel over perfectly excusable ignorance of a vast patchwork quilt of states, or of the fine distinctions between American alphabetical symbols—D. A. R.’s and G. A. R.’s! Useless information anyway! But the strain of the morning had been too much for her and she could not stop crying. Iler breath came In little gasping sobs, her shoulders heaved, she fumbled for her handkerchief —and not finding It, she jerked open a desk drawer, dragged out a towel and buried her face In it. “Oh, but my child! —you poor kid!” Mr. Creighton unprofessionally am! very remorsefully exclaimed. “I didn't want to hurt your feelings! Oh, please!” he begged in distress, laying a reassuring hand on her arm. "Come, come, don't cry! You're m>t going to be thrown out of your school—-and I swear I won't laugh at you any more!" She wiped her nose and her eyes with a corner of the towel. “1 ter resign!” she said dolefully, “or you’ll be lying awake nights thinking of all the education those children are missing just because you were t»»o weak to withstand a girl’s tears’" "Well." he said ruefully, though gently, “you have got me up a tree, you know! How you ever got a Kutztown Normal school diploma on your knowledge of United States geography—” She showed signs of weeping again, so he hastily veered off. "All right, let's never mention geography again! I do admit that the pupils In your » hool are more alert and wideawake than any children In the county! There, doesn’t that comfort you?” She smiled dazzllngly through her tears. "Oh, but then I'm a success as a teacher! —since the whole purpose of teaching children must be to brighten up their wits, not to stuff states and names into them! It is not what I pour Into them, but what I lead them to give out!” “Ah, yes, but there's a lot of necessary drudgery in teaching which can't be side-stepped, my child; which really must be done. So if you'll be good and get down to hard work here —” "But Indeed I do! These things I do, yet do not leave the higher matters of the spirit undone. I do assure you." He looked skeptical, but evidently did not feel it safe to pursue the subject, her bright eyes looking too ready to shed tears again. “I'm keeping-you from eating your lunch,” he suddenly said, reaching reluctantly for his hat and coat (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Spenser Like most poets, he felt the Im pulse of the day and hour. His poems reflect the color of the sky over his head, blue and somber by turns. His piety, though at all times sincere, was more or less apparent according to the seasons —more or less engrossing according as he felt the blessings or buffets of fortune. Yet above the span of his checkered career and alternating quest after earthly joy and heavenly bliss, an indubitable idealism is spread like the rainbow arching over a landscape beaten by the rain and illumined by the sun.—Emile Logouts, in “Spenser.” Interesting Fossil Area The Joggins section of Nova Scotia has been recognized since the days of the great geologists, Logan and Lyell, as affording the finest example In the world of fossil coal measure forests. The section is now represented In Canada’s national museum at Ottawa by a series of upright trunks with a background of a carboniferous landscape and a panoramic view of the Jogggins section. The stumps with their great expanse of roots form ^hat is considered by many familiar with foreign museums to be the finest exhibit of its kind in any museum.

Improved Uniform International Sunday School ’ Lesson' (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bibis Institute of Chicano.) (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 8 t THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST (EASTER LESSON) LESSON TEXT—Mark 16:1-20. GOLDEN TEXT-r-Because 1 live ye ■hall live also. PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesua Cornea to Life Again. JUNIOR TOPlC—Christ Rises from the Grave. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Jesus, Our Living Leader. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Power of the Resurrection. I. The Ministry of Love (vv. 1-4). 1. By whom (v. 1). Mary Magdalene, the mother of James and Salome. They brought sweet spices with which to anoint Him. 2. When? (v. 2). Early in the morning of the first day of the week. 3. Their perplexity (vv. 3,4). They questioned as to who should roll away the large stone from the mouth of the tomb. To their surprise they found the stone removed. il. The Angel in the Tomb (vv. 5-8). Jesus knew that these women would come to the sepulcher with perplexed and unbelieving hearts so He had an angel waiting there to announce to them the fact of His resurrection. Note the angel’s message: 1. “Be not afraid" (v. 6). 2. “Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified" (v. G). This threefold designation with marvelous clearness chows (1) His humanity—Jesus. (2) Lowly residence —Nazareth. (3) Ignominious death—crucified. 3. "He Is risen; He Is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him” (v. G). These words throw light upon His birth, humility and shameful deatn. He who was born In lowly circumstances and suffered the shameful death on the cross. Is now the conqueror of death. Ills resurrection gives meaning to His death. "If Christ bo not risen your faith Is vain, ye are yet In your sins” (I Cor. 15:17). 4. "Go your way, fell His disciples and Peter" (v. 7). As soon as It was known that Christ was risen from the dead they were to tell it to the disciples. The disciples all needed this blessed news, but Peter espe- < Lilly, since He had so utterly denied Him. What wonderful grace! 5. “He Roeth before you Into Galilee, there shall ye see Him” (v. 7) Christ had told the disciples that He would rise from the dead and meet them in Galilee, but their unbelief kept them from this blessed truth 111. The Appearances of the Risen Christ (vv. 9 1 I). These appearances bad as their object tie restoration of the disciples from their awful failure ami discouragement and convincing them without a peradventure of a doubt of Christ’s resurrection. Since His resurrection was to be the central ’heme of npt^tolic preaching. It was necessary that they have a certainty of knowledge as to this matter (Acts 1 :3). Without the resurrection of Christ His death would be meaningless. Out of the ten or more appearances. Mark selects three. 1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 0-11). Mary’s heart responded to the Savior who had graciously delivered her from demons. Iler sufferings were no doubt terrible. She was first at the tomb; her devotion was amply rewarded by being first to meet the risen Lord. Though her faith was weak she went at once and told the story to the disciples, but they refused to believe. 2. To two disciples on the way to Emmaus (vv. 12, 13). Luke gives full particulars concerning this appearance (Luke 24:13-25). Jesus had walked, talked and eaten with them, convincing them that the Lord had indeed risen. 3. The eleven disciples (v. 14). Christ appeared to them while sitting at meat and reproved them for their unbelief. The fact that they steadfastly resisted the testimony that Christ had risen, and yet afterward were willing to risk their lives in the proclamation of this truth proves the genuineness of their faith and therefore strengthens our faith. IV. The Commission of the Risen Lord (vv. 15-18). After the disciples were convinced of the truth of His resurrection, Christ sent them forth to "preach the gospel to every creature.” What a glorious and supreme task is this. What a blessed issue to those who believe and how awful to them that believe not. “He that believeth and Is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned” (v. 16). V. The Activity of the Enthroned Christ (vv. 19. 20). After giving the disciples their commission He ascended on high and from the unseen sphere directed their activities. Wherever they wont He confirmed their word. He does the same for His faithful disciples today. Pleasing Him I do always those things that please him. —John 8:29. To Jesus Christ, our Lord, every road of duty, through the carpenter’s shop and the village home, through the synagogue, through the house of marriage, through the house^of mourning, through the desert solitudes, through the city’s throngs—every road of duty was a highroad of holiness, the path of His Father s will. Every relationship of life was to Him a sacred thing. Every day was one of the days of the Kingdcm of God. And this is the testimony of His entire life: “The Father hath not left me alone. I do always the things that please him.”—J. Stuart Holden. Liv’ God When with God his voice sb a s the ™ti r - niur o' a rustle of

- ©if Arf ° SPRAY APPLE TREE FOR OYSTER SHELL The oyster shell scale is one of the most common of scale Insects that work on neglected apple trees. Most of the unsprayed farm orchards are infested to some extent by this pest, says the lowa Homestead. It is found on most of the common orchard trees as well as on many shrubs. The scale Is about one-eighth-inch long, rather dark in color but under a magnifying glass very much resembles an oyster shell, hence the name. The scale lives over the dormant period in the egg state. During the dormant season the eggs can readily he detected by lifting the scale with the point of a knife blade. Only a small percentage of. the scale will carry the eggs. These hatch out early In spring, about the time the trees begin to break into blossom. At this time the insect Is active, but soon attaches itself permanently to the twig. Control methods are simple and effective. If the Infestation Is seen, spray the trees In the late spring before the buds unfold. One can use lime-sulphur wash at the rate of one gallon to eight gallons of water made from liquid lime-sulphur, or dry limefnilphur, three pounds to ten gallons of water. A thorough job of spraying must be done. See that the main trunk and branches are covered with the spray mixture. If one prefers to do so a spray mixture made from crucible oil, one gallon of the spray oil to twenty gallons of water can be used. One application is not sufficient to control the scale entirely but continued applications of lime-sulphur during the summer months will hold them in check. It may be necessary to put on a second dormant spray the following year, after which time there will be very few left. oooooooooaooooco 7000000000 g When Planting Trees g g Don’t let the sun. drying i O winds, t >r frosts at the roots. 0 g Prune any broken or injured g 0 roots with a sharp knife. 0 g Dig the holes big enough for X $ nil the roots without cramping O s g Plant In fine loam, enriched § O with well-rotted manure. ® Don't let green unrotted ma- $ 0 nun* come in contact with the S O roots. | O Spread out the roots in their o g natural position ami work tine x o loam among them, miking it 5 q firm and compact. g g Don’t plant too deep.

Each insect has its preference of certain fruits and varieties ripening tn season most adapted to its natural life habits; thus we find the curculio infesting cherries, and early ripening plums, such as the Opata and Sapa, and others of the earlier ripening sand cherry hybrids. Where no attempt is made to check these pests by spraying, the fruit of Opata and Sapa are often infested to such an extent as to he almost worthless for family use; while later ripening varieties of the pure plum may be almost as badly damaged by the gouger. Varieties Susceptible to Fire Blight Disease Some varieties of pears and apples may be unusually susceptible to fire blight. Where this is true, the diseased wood and cankered areas on the limbs and trunk should be removed during each dormant season. If this clean-up work is done each year, the source of infection of fire blight will be largely eliminated. With apples and pears which are susceptible to fire blight, it is best to have as many scaffold limbs as possible, so that if one becomes girdled near its base by a fire blight canker, it may be removed without the loss of too much of the bearing surface of the tree. Time to Spray It is probably or certainly some better to put on two curculio sprays, but one good spray seems to give satisfactory results. If two sprays are used the first one should be put on as early as possible. That would be when most of the shucks have split, but before a large per cent have dropped off. If only one spray is used, it should be applied a little later, when about onethird to one-half of the shucks are off. This curculio spray is very important, and should not be neglected. Arsenate of Lead Arsenate of lead is the chief insecticide used for the control of all chewing insects that trouble the grape. Vines sprayed with it rarely show a trace of arsenic at the time of fruit maturity. It is suspected that the marks showing on the grape berries are due to the burning effect of the lime-sulphur. This should never be used on grape foliage nor should it ever be brought in contact with the berries. It is believed that this fruit can be eaten without injury.

Lady-in-Waiting Did Not Quite Get Point Walter Hampden’s production of “Caponcacchi”—a stage version of Robert Browning’s remarkable poem, “The Ring and the Book”—recalls an excellent story about Queen Victoria. It appears that Sir Theodore Martin had been asked by the queen to read to her some portions of "The Ring and the Book.” Sir Theodore, knowing his “Ring," put marginal notes against certain passages which he thought might not appeal to the royal sense of propriety. The marked copy happened to come under the notice of one of the ladies-In-waiting, who told a friend: “I hace so greatly enjoyed reading this wonderful poem, and it has been so pleasant to read it after the dear queen, who has marked the most beautiful parts, and what exquisite taste her majesty has!” —Kansas City Star. New Location Found for Garden of Eden Europe may have been the Garden of Eden, and the “missing link,” which has so far eluded scientists, may be found on that continent, according to the theory of Sir Arthur Keith, one of England's most prominent scientists', one of the leading officials of the Royal Institution and head of the British association. Sir Arthur advanced this theory following the discovery by a German geologist of a “Heidelberg jaw,” which the British scientist said is the earliest European human now known to science. He asserted that the discovery is one of the biggest of its kind concerning the origin of humans. “There thus really seems to be a chance that Germany is going to produce the ‘missing link,’ and it looks very much as though Europe really was the ‘Garden of Eden,’ ” Sir Arthur said. ’Bit....
