Oa., since she has met her fellow teacher, Ellen Sands, and eeen Ben Tyler, the town bachelor, onee again. The Sunday afternoon before eehool opens Ben takes Carol to play volt, and relieves her op prehensions about the morning to come, when she must face her classes for ths first time. But Carol docs not intend to teach sohool for' ever. Chapter Seven THE CAT AFTER supper etas n4 Ellen walked lazily home. "WhatH we do tonight!" Ellen demanded. "Go to church?" "What again?" "Well, there doesn't seem to ho much else." There didn't "All right But I don't want 'em to think I'm estab lishing any precedents." Only a handful at church tonight Another neat little sermon that was slightly more Informal than that of the morning. Mr. Hudson was there again and they encountered him on the steps, talking to an Incredibly old woman. His beam was even brighter. "Weil, well! You're starting the week right, I see." ; Carol twinkled outrageously at Carol faoed her him. "I told Ellen, though, that I wasn't establishing any precedents." He laughed heartily and intro duced the old woman. "This la Mrs. Taylor. She lives next door to you." They were, Carol and Ellen said politely, delighted to meet her; ex hilarated at the Idea of being neigh bors. The old woman hardly waited . to acknowledge the Introduction be fore she looked at Mr. Hudson. "What d'you think of your teach ers playing golf on Sunday?" she demanded, with a contortion that was Intended for a smile. A crimson rage shook Carol. She looked quickly at Mr. Hudson and saw his face empty Itself; become bland and vacant He said pleasant ly: "Can I drive you home, Mrs. Tay lor?" Mrs. Taylor looked surprised, but not dlscoucertod. ilr. and Mrs. Hamrn had brought her, she said: she guessed they were waiting for her now. ... When she had gone Carol turned on Mr. Hudson. "I could hug you for that!" she said, and his eyes danced. Then she sobered. "1 "didn't dream the retribution would be so swift I won't play again tt you say ao." His face became thoughtful. "No. ,You go on and I'll see what happens. Nobody could please her we'll wait till the protest Is more general." He nodded, almost paternally, and turned away. As they left the church Carol real ized that Ellen was shaking with laughter. ON Tuesday morning Carol faced her first class. Monday's ses sion had been brief, devoted to registration, arranging schedules, banding out book lists. Today there would be a halt time schedule: twenty minutes to each period. The class was American History snd the studonts were seniors. She eyed them speculatively, and the class eyed hor with mingled relief snd curiosity. Relief because she was young and pretty: curiosity be cause they wondered how much they could got by with. The door opened and four youths entered. swaggering a little. They looked like men. but Carol recog- sized them from their bearing as PHILADELfnM. Aug. 30. ;p Archaeologists under the direction of Dr. Edgnr B. Howard hive uncovered evidence of an ancient uncivilized people in a prehlstorlo lake bed near CIovls, New Mexico, the University of Pennsylvania museum said today Dr. J. Alden Mason of the museum said Dr. Howard's discoveries dated back "possibly very close to the glacial period." He aald that the actual time In years was a matter for geologists, but that "expert estimates placed the date approximately 8.000 to 10.000 years bko." The specimens uncovered at CIovls were those ol a "very ancient unciv ilised hunting people who lived In New Mexico and Arizona." y .IP i I 1 j members of the football squad. One of them suggested a gorilla, black and unshaven and slightly stooped, walking noiselessly on his toes, with a springy, catlike tread. Two others were nondescript and the fourth was the most beautiful male she had ever seen. The fourth boy quietly took a seat' In the front row, directly In front of her. There were two vacant seats on the outer aisle, next to the open windows, and the other three broke and ran for them. There ensued a swift silent struggle. Carol watched theu tor an In stant in silent astonishment There was a minor crisis here: she knew It from the bright Interested stare with which the class was favoring her. The windows were too high to afford a view of the world outside, so why that primeval struggle? She looked at the boys quietly and In tently, and the boys shuffled a little and grinned placatlngly. And then she bad It One of the gorilla's cheeks was distended, as If he had a toothache. She followed her Intuition, hoping desperately that It was right "What Is your name, please?" He stammered: "Bill Yandell." "Then, Mr. Yandell," the formal courtesy had the sting of a very tine wire, "I'll excuse you and your friends long enough for you to get first olsae.- rid of that" She glanced at her watch. "It oughtn't to take longer than a minute and a halt. And when you come back you may take those seata In the center aisle." LIKE a alngle Individual the class released Its breath. Laughter beat against the walls, and crim soned the faces of the three boys. They almost ran tor the door. Carol felt limp with relief. Who would ever .have expected a con. tlngency like chewing tobacco? She relaxed suddenly and laughed with the class, and the class took her to Its heart She got up and walked slowly towards a window, leAiod lightly against the frame. Hor heart was hammering, but she made her voice deliberate and caaual. "I hope," ahe said, and smiled quietly, "that we can all enjoy this class. History's a fascinating study, and the history that never gets into scboolebooks Is the most fascinating ot all. I've often wondered why they leave ao much ot the truth out of our books, and I've decided It must be because the American people can't take It" Her casual use ot their own Ian guage caught them at once. They weren't accustomed to teachers who spoke the living tongue aa they knew It She had their undivided at tention. She walked back to her desk and sat down, and every eye followed her. The class was breathless In Its attention. "1 think I'll try an experiment with you," she said reflectively. "You seem fairly mature, and you look rather Intelligent I warn to see, this year. If you're capable of taking soma of the unpleasant truths In our history; of thinking tor yourselves. "I want you to stop and examine things people say or write before you believe them. Americans will believe anything under the sun If It's printed on a piece of paper, and some of the stuff printed Is lies." She nodded and smiled dismissal at the enraptured class. "You may go," she added. (Copyright, !9J, by Harlan Sims) Csroi's "maonlflctnt boy" talks to hep. Uirrtorraw. MADISON, Wis..
