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

erously kind in his disciplinary meas
ures and hence it came as a sort of
j surprise when he suddenly showed
the iron hand for the schools good.
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.

Love and the

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."

ated Barron. "Of course I love you.

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

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

story of his day. Me changed his
mind about the burglars. He did not

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.

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

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.

and left that note for you."
"And you were not angry? You

"How could I?" she asked simply
"You were a bad boy, Jlmmle, but I
