Meely decided that for at least a
few weeks she could breuthe, freely,
and feel comparatively secure from
tie 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, yon here again P she
tpeuly lamented at he, without offer
ing her his hand, bowed rather curtty
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 "mau
lers" had thrilled Nettle the night be
fore. "I'm here,' he grimly stated, stand
ing behind his chair and folding bis
srtnt with a resolute, Napoleonic air
that made her heart sink, "to hear
you teach geography!"
"Here I stand so help me Gawd!"
she mocked at his determined mien.
"Martin Luther!"
"And I dont leave this schoolroom
until I have heard your
"Oh, geeP she sighed.
He set his lips and stared straight
ahead of him.
"I've bad this school on my con
science since you yourself admitted
that yon cant teach. We cant let
these children suffer from your ex
cuse me Incompetence. Will you call
a geography class. Miss Schwenck
tonr Did he or did he not hesitate over
her Dame? She could not feel sure.
"But why this passionate Interest
la geogrsphyr she complained.
"Arent you longing to see me teach
spelling? HI 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 chival
rous" "I'm not here to be chivalrous, but
to hear you teach."
"Why wont spelling dot"
"I prefer geography."
"Just because I Jokingly pretended
to think there were forty-seven states
instead of fifty-seven tend told you
that when I writ a mere child, I
thought the Mississippi river ran east
and westP
"Exactly."
"WjU," she said reflectively, "well,
Mr. Crelghton, before I take your re
quest into consideration, will you tell
me what is the extent of your power
over my Jobt Can you take It from
meP
"I can advise your school board to
take it from you. But" be nastily
added, "of course I don't want tot I'd
bate 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 profes
sional, she encouraged him. "Be
professional or dleP
The children of the school were all
K.'ted now rigidly upright in the
presence of that magnate, the county
superintendent and Mely could no
longer dally with the situation; she
must decide what to do. She might
repeat the successful geograpuy lesson
she bni already glvnn that morn
ing on Italy though a deliberate
repetition of the whole performwje
would be so astonishing to the chil
dren ss to be eir.barraslng to their
teacher I For Venice, she had given
them the songs of tho gmdoUers, and
Impersonations of Portia and Shy'ock ;
for Naples, street beggars and coral
workers; for Rome, impersonations
of Caesar and Mrk Antony with tales
of gladiators lntfpersed; for Flor
ence, impersonate ' M of Savonarola
and the MeClcL a! jch more than the
school had been able to digest at one
dose, but she hsd enjoyei It feeling
bow cleverly she was aolng It ah,
there was the rub! She did It too
cleverly, too professionally. She could
not risk offering It to Marvin Crelgh
ton. Well, then, nothing left but to try
to give a geography leeson In the pro
saic, uninteresting way she had seen
it done In a school she had visited,
where the teacher, for a weary half
hour, had bad the children telling
glibly what states enclosed other
states. What had the teacher called
that a certain word she bad used?
"I'll bore this man so he'll keep
swey from here for the rest of bis
life!" she determined.
"Zehllls," she addressed the bright
est girl of the class that she sum
moned to stsod before the desk, while
she and the superintendent now sat
behind It, "enclose the state of Penn
sylvania." Zehllla looked blank. "What's that
fm to dor
"F.nclose Pennsylvania," repeated
Meely confidently.
Zebllla still looked unenlightened
even dazed. 1 wouldn't know how to.
I dont know right how you mean-
enclose Itl"
Meely sew she had gotten the wrong
word. "I mean eurround It; tell
what states, If any, surround It or

what bodies of water, or whatever
dors enclose, surro.ind or circum
scribe Itl" she explained desperately.
Ach, do you nicer:, Miss Schweuck-
ton, I'm to bound Pennsylvania?"
"That's the word yes, bind It."
A snort from the county superin
tendent was a signal for the nmazed
school and they broke Into a rar ot
laughter that revealed to the embar
rassed teacher how seriously she had
erred. Her fare flushed crimson. She
tinted this monster Bitting on her plat
form laugh 'ii till the desk shook!
Siie rapped for order. The ichool
became quiet "Proceed," she said
to Zehllla coldly.
"Pennsyl-wanla la bounded on the
north"
When Zebllla bad finished. Meely
took as long a time ss possible In
drilling ber to pronounce the letter V
by catching her lower lip between ber
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
hsve to keep ber eyes glued to the
map to see that they got It right With
Zehllla Zook that had not been neces
sary, for Zebllla could be depended
upon to answer correc'l. She always
knew her lentous with depressing
thoroughness. So It was not until the
poor girl became restive and resent
ful under her prolonged drilling that
the teacher desisted.
'Bind Connecticut IUram," she at
last proceeded most reluctantly.
"Connecticut is bounded on the
north by Massachusetts, on the east
by Ithode Island"
'Oh, come, an Island cant bind any
thing. What Is an Island, Illramr
she asked, very pleased at Hiram's
blunder, for here she could be sure
oMier ground; she did at least know
the forms of land acd water!
"But Rhode Ialund," sa'd Illram,
gazing at her almost In horror, "alu't

Her finger on the map, she conld
see for herself, now, that It wasn't

sternation, she yet tried to save her
self. "Very good, niram I was try

Til ask the class," said Meely has
tily, "to look that up for next lesson."
She feared she was not succeeding
In her plot to "bore" the superintend
ent She saw, In a quick side glance,
that he looked anything but bored.
Indeed, he seemed to be enjoying him
self. Probably he'd stay the rest of
the day! Oh, bow she hated and de

Alter a few more states had been
bou.'id (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 de

with dignity, "can I do for your

temptation to act out the rustling les

She settled that danger by ordering
the class to turn to a spcb of Theo

realized her mistake. The speech

Tradition Bar Jew'
The American Hebrew says that tha
tradition against Intermarriage among
Jews is traced back to Abraham, who
ordered lila estate manager, Kllezer,
to obtain a wife for Isaac from among
his, Abraham's, own people, In Aramea,
It should be added that this Is only
a tradition. It became a practice
among Jews at the time they returned
from tbe Babylonian exile In tha
Fifth century before the common era.
Intermarriage, however, has taken
place among Jews at all times. The
reason why -Jews hsve clung to tlie
tradition of Abraham and the enact
ment of Kzrt lies In the psychology of
group consciousness, especially as this
Is welded by the religious Ideal. The
belief of the Jews that they are a
people chosen by God te disseminate

Union With Gentiles
ethical will among the peoples of the

by the desire to hcd to Its mission In

fear lest Intermarriage should weaken

An Australian miner spent part ef

Dr. Van Fnrdlcnh of the American

that medical effectiveness In the Ori
