Fourteen girl and seven boys, the beautiful youth among them. fihe spent the twenty minutes talk ing about France and the things that had happened during the months ahe had spent there five years ago, the summer after she had graduated.

Avignon, the Palace of the Popes; Cannes and Nice, and the ancient towns of the maritime Alps. Paris and the archletctural legacies of Napoleon; Pere LeChaise, the resting-place of the great and the near great; the vicinity of St. Sulpice, of which they would read In "Les Trois Mousquetaires." , . . Then she dis missed them, conscious of one more victory, at least for the time being. Her third period was vacant, and she becan to post names alphabeti cally In her roll book. Someone en tered the room, and she glanced up to find the magnificent youth tow ering above her. She smiled at him. "How do you do?" "Morning He hesitated. "Can I talk to you a while?" "Of course.

He was more than six feet tall, and he must weigh a hundred and eigthy, she thought most of it above the waist. His eyes were a brilliant blue and his features might have been by Praxiteles. He moved and spoke with a drawl, and she guessed that his brain drawled too. She was consumed with curiosity about him. "My name's Mike Hannlgan," he said. '1 wanta tell "you about me and get you to help me." Who wouldn't help him! she thought, and kept her face serious as she said: "That's quite a compli ment. Of course 111 help you." I been out of school four years." he went on In the same deliberate voice, as if he tested every word before he said It. "I got expelled , when I was sixteen a week before school closed. I studied this sum mer and took examinations to get back in." She wondered why he was expell ed, and didn't ask. Instead she said: "What did you do In those four, years?" 'Travelled around on ships." His voice was entirely casual. After four years of it there was nothing ro mantic about travelling around on ships. "I ran away and got a Job on a coastwise freight boat. Since then I been about everywhere In the j world." He said H simply, with no hint of boasting. Carol felt suddeny small and un important in the face of his com plete simplicity. "What made you come back?" T wasn't getting anywhere."

Carl Anderson be like him, and I didn't want to be a tramp seaman all my life. And you have to have education if you want to be somebody, so I came back to finish high school and go to college. I can get to college on fottball he explained. "I've already got an offer." fihe laughed In relief. "That's the first time I ever thought much of the system. Now where do I come in?" "When you been knocking around for four years It's kinda hard to settle down In any high school. may start off fine, and then get to slipping, and I want you to sort of check up on me. I'll study for you I'd do anything for you," her own quick pleasure startled her "but I may get rough with some of the other teachers before I think. If I do get rough, you call me In and re mind me about all this. Cuss me out." Without doubt, she thought wild ly, this was the most astonishing conversation she had ever had, She said judicially: I'll be glad to do It If It's ne cessary. But I dont see why it should be. Now that you've decidrd on It, haven't you got " he would have said "guts," and so would she. if he hadn't been looking at her like that and if he hadn't been a pupil "wilt power enough to stay with It?" "I would If they were all like you. but you're the only teacher I ever saw that I respected. They make me sick as hell" He caught himself and flushed crimson. "Excuse me. Miss Torrance; that's from being a bum." She laughed. "Oh, I've heard of It before." And used it, she thought, with monotonous regularity. Mike Hannigan might take a lot of living up to. ; He got up, and she realized In as tonishment that he was holding out his hand. She gave him her own, and his grip was paralyzing. "You're aces. Miss Torrance. I sure do thank you." He strode out of the room. Carol stared at his splendid back and rub ber her fingers and tried to think what she woujd say to the class in European History. Thank Hea ven Mike Hannigan wouldn't be in that! The week wore on. Classes stop ped being entities and became groups of individuals; some intelli gent, some average, a few hopeless ly dull dwellers in Moronla. For the most part her work ran smoothly. Later, she knew, the nov elty of her presence and her method would wear off and rebellion would probably lift It head. But there was no use In anticipating the struggle. Even her qualms about the foot ball squad had not thus far mate rialized, To her astonishment the gorilla proved to have exquisite manners, that sat upon him as odd ly os a curled and scented wig. She wondered at the deference of these incongruous beings who were neith er men nor children, and stumbled quite by accident on one explana tion. Mike, she heard by grape vine route, had announced in vivid and salty language what he would do to the first so-and-so who started anything in her classes or out. Mike himself dropped in almost dnlly, and greeted her with a warm trtsh grin that disconcerted her more than she cared to admit, ''How'm I doin'? 'Beautifully, and you know it." The astonishing part was that It was true. He stalked learning slow ly and inexorably sank his teeth into it and held on grimly. Probably his interest would wane, but now he was travelling a route he had never travelled before, and finding the voyage good. Only one thing worried her: that the girls had discovered him. They fluttered over him, and borrowed his pencils, and wanted to be shown where the lesson ended; anything would do as an excuse. Mike an swered them patiently, without even looking at them, entirely unaware that the interruption were pre texts. There were letters during the week from Millr and Jill and Pat; and one stilted, yearning note from Don. who was incapable of putting himvlf on paper. Reading a let ter from Don made him more un THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, real and distant than ever. Milly's letter was a sort of daily paper. So-and-so was in Atlanta; she had played bridge with so-and- so, and held terrible hands. Carol's room was rented to a Miss Andrews, who taught fifth grade . . . Jill was entirely matter-of-fact. The Andrews gal wasn't bad, and nine times twenty was a hundrd and eighty, which would go into the summer hdll-raism fund. Don Rich ards had driited in Sunday night, and the four of them had sat on the terrace and counted fourteen shoot ing stars . . . Pat's letter was equally character istic. Don Richards had returned on Sunday like a ghost to the scene of its demise. Business was look ing up. He was trying to keep his word about the writing. "I'm do ing a series of sketches about local characters and folklore; not good yet, of course, but good practice. If I get any amount of stuff done 1 may send it down for you to pass on." She wrote Jill and Milly a joint letter, but Pat deserved a separate one, she felt, for the effort he was making. "Send the sketches to me anyhow,' she ordered, "and if any of them have possibilities I'll act as agent until I can talk a real one into taking you on." She knew from other days that Pat wasn't equal to the soul-searing experience of setfing his manuscripts come back. And suddenly it was Friday, and one of the thirty-six weeks had slid, unwept. Into oblivion. (To be continued) The monkey jumps up dancing 'round in a jig, Then grabs startled Puff and cries "Three cheers, dear pig!

OREGON CUND0WN' RIP'S SHAME By Mary Graham Bonner Grandpa and Grandma Grouchy Galump, who had been near neigh bors of Willy Nilly and his animal friends of Puddle Muddle, had moved away. Not one of the Puddle Muddlers missed them. The little gnome-like man felt a great relief that this was so because the Galumps had always brought out the worst in his animals. They had wanted to plague the Galumps because the Galumps had always been so cross. Now, perhaps, Willy Nilly thought to himself, his sticking-out, pointed ears would really get some attention, The Galumps had left some food behind. In fact, they had left so much that It was more than was needed for one feast. "We'll have a party at once," Wil ly Nilly told the others, "and then well have another party and yet another at some future time." Mr. and Mrs. Quacko Duck preen ed their feathers. The little ducks took additional baths in the pond. Top Notch, the rooster, straightened his comb, brushed himself off with e. leafy twig and, looking at himself in his little mirror, decided his ap pearance could not be better. Sweet Face, the lamb, wiped off his feet In the dewy grass, and the bears brushed their coats. Only Rip, the dog, trotted over to the party with his ears drooping, his tail between his legs. "What's the matter?" Willy Nilly asked. "I am too ashamed to care how T look," said Rip, and his eyes showed misery. "I'm a miserable, good-for-nothing, useless dog." "Why do you say that?" asked Willy Nilly. Tomorrow "Rip Feels Better" LOCATING IN SILVERTON Silverton Mr. and Mrs. William Lentsch (Laura Hubbs) are going from Albany to Salem this week where they will make their resi dence. Lentsch has employment with a motor company. The Lent sches were formerly of Silverton. ' LISTEN! LMOB INSTINCT-VI CgS,0"!
