A. V. ALLEN Phones 711, 387!. , H UP AGIST ID EMMIE PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL TAKES DECIDED DISCIPLI NARY MEASURES. A mild little disciplinary earthquake kas struck the High School the past lew days, and yesterday several of the koys who have been presumably re fractory ran up against the school law. They met defeat, it is said. The numerous members of the High School have Gad much to talk bout recently in regard to things that have happened there. On Wed- aesday when the pupils gathered in the morning they found that many of tbeir books had been carried away by practical jokers during the previous night The books were found up stairs on the laboratory floor, and probably the perpetrators of the joke thought they would have a good laugh in their sleeves while the books were laboriously carried back and distrib uted. But something else happened. Principal Imel arose to the occasion calmly, it is said, and just as calmly ignored the absence of the books and announced that everybody would at nee prepare for the regular monthly examinations. AU day Thursday the pupils toiled ver the exams, which may have been a little harder than usual. The school authorities are mum as clams about Hie whole episode, but the matter leaked out yesterday. It is also said that some of the boys have been found smoking cigarettes on the school grounds, and one particular crowd of the lads are mildly accused f having taken the bit in their teeth and trying to run away with things. Some are willing to say that Principal Imel,' who has been used to handling older pupils, has been almost too gen Th KMd&b Lamp W tr-nrlv lifht. timntff construction safety.

Judging from several little things that have come to light most of the boys regret very much that the "fun has been taken by Principal Imel as a sort of a slap against him. On the contrary, he seems to have won the kindliest regard of virtually all those whose friendship means anything. At all events the joke seems to be on the boys thus far.

Copyrthtd, ISM, by Assoelt4 "Jtmroter Little Mr. Rrron's voice rose ahrtll and anguished. "I doat care," insisted Jimmy Bar too. "I said "darn that lock.' and yen ought to be glad that I said do more!' "It la the tint time you ever darued anything I wanted you to do," re proached Mrs. Barron. "You don't love me any more, Jimmy." "Great taoaveuar cried the eaasper- ated Barron. "Of course I love you. Nettle, but wben you ask ma to atop and Ox this lock when I bare an ap point meut with Chtlvera at the office at 10, Anyhow, it's the Janitor's bust nesa to keep the locks in repair." Kettle turned away with a little, hurt cry. This waa worse than the remark which had started the trouble. To leave 'her to the tender mercies of the Janitor waa rubbing salt in the I SLATS OOKS TO MOTBCB'a." wounds, and a Barron gave hla wife hasty sins and hurried down the stair he told himself that he would end a locksmith around to attend ta the Baatter at once. Of coarse the Janitor waa there to make repairs for the' tenants, but be waa surly fellow whose breath smell pd strongly of drink, and Nettie Barroa waa afraid to admit hiss to the cosy little apartaaent they called bom. For more than a week they bad been having troobla with the lock that Bar ron had added to the fastenings pro vided by the landlord. There waa a burglar scare ta the city, and apart ment housee were the favorite points of attack. Jlmmle felt that, having spent the better part of Sunday afternoon put ting the lock on. Nettle could not very well expect him to keep It In repair. Thus had started the first quarrel they had had since their marriage, and Barron took the car downtown feeling anything but at ease with all the world. The ChUvers Interview was satisfac tory in the extreme. It was late In the afternoon when the details were con cluded, and Jlmmle had entered upon contract which meant the sui-cctusful outcome of the business Ventura In which be bad engaged. To csp the climax It bad been ar ranged that ChUvers, who waa au out of town man, should spend the evening at the club with Jlmmle, so it was past midnight when Barron rent-lied home. The elevator stopped running at 12 o'clock, and Jlmmle toiled up the three flights of stairs to his apartment Pinned to the duor was a sheet of pa per aud on It the words, "I have gone to mother's." Jlmmle felt tbe cold perspiration be dew his forehead. It hud come, then. He always had thought that "going to mother's" was merely a creation of the newspaper humorist, but it was true. Nettie had probably grieved over bis refusal to fix the, lock and bad ended by going home to her mother. Mechanically be turned and descend ed the stairs. He did not want to en ter the desprted apartment It was home no longer wltti Nettle gone. He did not know Just where he wanted to go or what be wanted to do, but be wanted to get away from the place where they had been so happy togeth er; he wanted to walk In the cool night air and to realize what It all meant to him. He waa passionately attached to Kettle, and be bad not dreamed that they ever could be separated. He thought dumbly of the dark, si lent apartment and shuddered. He would bare to move from there and go to a hotel to live He never could en ter tfie deserted home again. It would be like violating the tomb of their dead happiness. He did not bin me Nettle, but be bit terly reproached himself. He knew how timid Nettle was. She had feared the surly looking Janitor, and she could not even speak of burglars with out a little shudder, and her husband had brutally told ber that he would be darned If be would Ox the door and bad flung awny. leaving her with only the Insecure protection of the flimsy lock provided by the landlord. And this was a lock that even a child could open with tbe blade of a knife when the Tale lock would not work. Terhaps tbe burglars bad come. He rather hoped they bad. He hoped that they bad taken everything. Itvould be horrible to hare to give directions for the tora of the furniture which they hud ttcted with such loving car. There was sentiment attached to every chair, and tear Marled In his tired eyes as ho reiuomlieivd the Utile footstool Nettle imd Insisted upon buy Ing. though she would tint tell him what she wished It so particularly for It hud become her favorite seat when hs came In tired from the olllee. and she cuddled down SKlt his aide, tha golden head resting comfortably on his shoulder while he told her the story of his day. Me changed his mind about the burglars. He did not want thetu to carry off tha little foot stool. Aa be pondered (he sltustlon Jlm mle trudged onward and gave uo heed to his direction! It was almost with a shock that he found himself turning In at a gate and realised that mechan ically he had walked all the way to Nettle'i mother's, three long miles." There was a light In the window of the room that hsd been Nettle's In their courtship days. He recalled the nights when he had passed tbe house Just to see the light In the window and to know that all waa well with her. Now there was the light, but noth Ing was well, for an instant a wo man's form was silhouetted against the shade, and Hurron came to a aud den decision. There was an all night drug store on the corner. He would call ber up and sue for pardon. It seemed hours before there wss au answer to his ringing, bul st last It csme, and It was Nettle's sweetly se rious voice that replied. "It's Jlmmle." he said brokenly. "I got your note." "It served you right" said Nettle severely. "I know It does," sdmltted Barron 1 realty meant to send a man around, but the Cbllvera matter drove the thought from my head and I forgot all about it "You have only yourself to blame." ahe reminded. "I asked you hundreds of times to tlx the link." "Only about eight." corrected Bar ron, "but I was a brute not to do It the first time you ssked. After ttsl you won't have to ask me to do n thing a second time, dear." " Barron regarded himself In the mir rored wall contentedly. It was an In splratlou to treat the matter as though there bad been no separation. "Did the burglars get InT' asked Kettle Interestedly. "I don't think so," was the esgor re sponse. "But look here, Nettle. If I promised that I wtll always do the thing you ask me to will you-be friends again, dear? When I came borne and found that you had left me I broke down. I walked out here from our piece and never realised that I had walked so far until 1 found myself turning In at your gate." There was a choking sound over tbe wire, and Jlmmle looked hopeful. If she waa crying It waa a sign that she might relent "Where are you nowr asked the voice. "Down at the corner." waa the prompt reply. "Wont you let me come over and sea you, dear 7" "Ton may come." assented Nettle, and Jlmmle tore out of the pHre wlthont even stopping to hang up the receiver, lie sped up tbe street and a few momenta later he wss on the ste and Nettle waa standing In the doorway to welcome him. , As the door closed behind them a pair of soft arms were thrown about his neck and soft lips pressed Ms cheek. "Jlmmle, you're the sbsurdeet boy," declared tbe little wife lovingly. "You CIC.n't even try to get In the flat, did your "What was the use when you were not there, sweetheartr be asked fondly. "Ton would have fonnd out why 1 came to mother's," she explained. "Your horrid bx-k worked when I went oot, but when I came home not even the Jfinltor conld make It un lock, and it was too late to find a locksmith, so I came on to mother's and left that note for you." "And you were not angry? You didn't lenvc me?" demanded Jlmmle. "How could I?" she asked simply "You were a bad boy, Jlmmle, but I love you. dear." Jlmmle took, her In hla nrms. "I want you always to love me," he' snld, "and I'm going to buy you a down locks In the morning. What Is that quotation about love -and the locksmith?"
