He drew an envelope from his pocket

see what mischief your fudge bas

It was a pathetic tittle note, Meely
felt poor Mr. Bchwenckton anxiously
endeavoring to protect his wayward
child, yet equally anxious to avert dis
sension with his powerful neighbor by
casting on him any base, unfounded
suspicion; pointing out to St Croix
the impossibility of any safe or honor
able relation between him and bis
daughter, due to their (insurmount
able differences In station, wealth and
education. Somehow, the most pa
thetic part of it to Meely was the poor
man's struggles to write Intelligent
English. "Whiles we have always
been in comfortable circumstances, yet
limited, but honest and honorable."
"Our females in our family being ever
Virtuous and very Chaste snd never
disgraced us, though many tempta
tions." Myely remembered, ss she found the
words all spelled correctly, how as
siduously the farmer had, one evening.
to ber mystification, been consulting
the dictionary and how he had asked
ber to spell for him several long
words.
She was relieved to find that Nettle
was referred to only as "My daugh
ter," and not by name.
"Poor PopI" she sighed as she re
turned the letter to its envelope snd
passed it back to St Croix, "he means
so well by us children H
'So you see, Meely, you've got to
be careful. .Ho more fudge I"
"I never conceited It would give all
this here trouble P she lamented, on
the verge of tears.
8t Croix looked a shade less au
stere. "Where d you get the splfly
coat?" he asked. "Looks for the world
like English tweed."
"It's the teacher's. She left me bor
row the loan of It oft of her."
"Now, look here! Why can't you
say simply that she lent It to you?
Instead of all those superfluous words
she let you borrow the loan of It
oft of her I Ye gods I 'She lent It to
me.' That says what you menn,
doesn't tt? Five words instead'of a
doxen I"
"Acti, well I" pouted Meely, looking
again as though she were on the verge
of tears and then suddenly, to her
consternation, she quite uncontrollably
snickered crushing her hand against
her mouth to keep from laughing hys
terically. Fortunately for ber, he took
It for a suppressed sob.
"There, there, my dearl" he said
half Impatiently, half remorsefully.
"Never mind! You're past teaching
anyhow I Look here, Meely, why
haven't you ever mentioned that the
teacher boards with youT You've
talked of everyone else in the house
hold." "Well, you see, I had afraid you
might want to be gave an Interduc-

While she talked, he watched ber
wltb shining eyes, but It was her rav-

sums and footnotes, that caused the
shilling.

However, she hod given him his

He found himself surprised at bis

to the test; an undefined apprehension
of disappointment though of course
that was ridiculous surely she
"loved" and desired blm, or why had
she been risking so much to meet him

Is not sins, however, which the modern
scapegoat Is required to csrry off, but
smallpox. When an outbreak of small
pox occurs In s village, the Inhabitants
resort to the erenmny of "NU-asl." A
female goat Is bought by public sub

fixed to the Imnge of a goddess. The
goat Is then apparently looked uimn as
