that he would uot study and wondered
vaguely If the teacher would try to

Presently the others were gone, and
Miss Murtha went hack to her desk.
Another scholar had been kept In to re

Murtha waited quietly until the task

that you would act so toward a wom

"What’s tho difference?" he demand

When she had finished, Tira looked up.

as sho stooped aud kissed him. “I want

Tommy English was waiting for him
as the subdued Tim went out. "Did

"I didn’t hear you holler.”
With a howl Tim sprang nt him and
thrashed him as u relief for bis over

"An’ I’ll do it again If you say any
thing about Miss Murtha,” be promised
as he released hjs victim, ”un’ I’ll lick
any of you fellers what makes trouble
for her."
It took but a week to mnke that fact
apparent, and those who had taken ad
vantage of the fact that Miss Murtha
did not bellevo lu physical punishment

Then came Ren Ilanway upon the
