CHAfTIR V The Premotion of Jennie. If Jennie Woodruff was the cause e( Jim Irwin's sudden irruption Into the educational field by her scoffing "Humphf at the Idea of a farmhand's farm-hand's ever being able to marry, aha also faro .him the opportunity to knock down the driver of the big motorcar, mo-torcar, and perceptibly elevate himself him-self In the opinion of the neighborhood, neighbor-hood, while filling his own heart with something like shame. The fat man who had said "Cut it .out" . to his driver, was Mr. Charles OUly, a business maa tn the tillage at the extreme opposite comer of the county. Mr. Dllly was a candidate for county treasurer, and wished to be nominated at the approaching county convention, fn his part of whs county lived the county superintendent candidate for reuomlnatlon, Bo was Just a plain garden or field county superintendent su-perintendent of schools, ae better and no worse than the general political run of them, bat bs had local pride enlisted en-listed la his cause, and was a good poUttdan. Mr. Dllly waa la the Woodruff district dis-trict to build a backfire agmlnat this eooflaxraOoa of the county superintendent, superin-tendent, Ha expected to aae Jennie Woodruff to light It wlthaL That H while denying- that ho wished to make any deal or trade every candidate la every convention always says-that ho wished to say to Miss Woodruff and her father, that If Miss Woodruff would permit her name to bo used for the office of county superintendent of schools, a goodly group of delegates could bo selected in the other comer of the county who would bo glad to reciprocate any favors Mr. Charles J. Dllly might receive in the way of votes' for county treasurer with ballots bal-lots for Miss Jennie Woodruff for superintendent su-perintendent of schools. Mr. Dllly never Inquired aa to Mlas Woodruff's abilities as an educator. That would have been eccentric. Miss Woodruff never asked herself If aba knew anything about rural education which especially fitted her for the task ; for waa she not a popular and successful teacher and waa not that enough? 8o are the officials chosen who supervise and control the education educa-tion of the farm children of America. When Jim Irwin started homo from putting out his team the day after his first call on the Slmms family, Jennie was waiting at the gate to bo congratulated con-gratulated on her nomination. "I hope you're elected," Jim said, holding; the hand she had extended; "but there's no doubt of that" "They say not," replied Jennie; "but father believes In working just as If we didn't have a big, majority for the ticket, 8ay a word for me when on. your pastoral rounds. "All right said Jim, "what shall -14 say you'll do for the schools r "Why," said Jennie, rather perplexed, per-plexed, Til be fair In my examinations examina-tions of teachers, try to keep the unfit teachers out of the schools, visit schools as often aa I can, and why, what does any good superintendent dor ' "I never beard of a good county superintendent," said Jim. "Never heard of one why.

"They have made the Americas people peo-ple what they are,' said Jennla. "Don't be unpatriotic, Jim." "They have educated our farm rhO-dren rhO-dren for the cities," said Jim.

Jennie, I am obliged to admit gave scant attention to the new career upon which her old sweetheart seemed to bo entering. She was In politics, and waa playing the game as became the daughter of a local politician. CoL Albert Woodruff went South with the army aa a corporal tn 1881, and came hack a lieutenant His title of colonel was conferred by appointment as it member of the staff of the governor, long years ago, when be was county auditor. Be was not a rich man. as I may have suggested, but a well-to-do farmer, whose wife did her own work much of the time, not because the colonel could not afford to hire "help," but for the reason that "hired girls" were hard to get The colonel, having seen tbe glory of the coming of the Lord In the triumph of bis side In the great war, waa inclined to think that all reform had ceased, and was a political standpattera stand-pattera very honest and sincere one. Moreover, he waa Influential enough so that when Mr. Cummins or Mr. Dolllver came into the county on political po-litical errands, Colonel Woodruff had always been called Into conference. He waa of the old New England type, believed be-lieved very much In heredity, very much In the theory that whatever Is Is "Tight In so far as it has secured money or power. . A very respectable, honest American Ameri-can fory was the colonel, fond of his political sway, and rather soured by the fact that It was passing from Mm. He hsd now broken with Cummins snd Dolllver as he had dene years sgo with Weaver and later with Larrabee and this breach was very Important to him, whether they wore greatly concerned con-cerned about It or not Such being her family history, jennla jen-nla was something of a politician herself. her-self. She waa In no way surprised when approached by party managers on the subject of accepting the nomination nomi-nation for county superintendent of schools. Colonel ' Woodruff could deliver de-liver some delegates to his daughter, though he rather shied at the proposal pro-posal St first but on thinking It over, warmed somewbst to the notion of having a Woodruff on the county pay roll once more. CHAPTER VI ) Jim Talks the Weather Cold "Going to the rally, Jamesr Jim bad finished . die supper,, and yearned for a long evening In his attic den with his cbesp literature. But as the district schoolmaster he was to some extent responsible for tbe protection pro-tection of the school ;nennrt. ss reii some settee of duty as to exhibiting exhibit-ing an Interest la public affairs, ' "1 guess ni hsve to go, mother," ho replied regretfully. "I want to see Mr. Woodruff about borrowing bis Bab-cock Bab-cock milk tester, and Ilf go. that way. I guess HI go os to the meeting." He kissed bis mother when ho went a bablt from which he never deviated, devi-ated, and another of those personal peculiarities which had marked him as different from ths other boys of the neighborhood His mother urged his overcoat upon blm tn vain for 'Jlm'a overcoat was distinctly a bad one, whtle his best suit now worn every day ss s concession to his scholastic position, still looked passably well after several - weeka of schoolroom duty. It seemed mors logical to assume as-sume that the weather waa milder than it really waa, on that sharp October Octo-ber evening, and appear at his bast albeit rather aware of ths cold. Jennie Jen-nie waa at home, snd ho was likely to aee and, bo seen of ber. "Ton can borrow that tester," jsald the colonel, "and the cows that go with It If you can use 'em. They ain't earning their keep here. But how does ths milk tester fit Into the curriculum of the school! A decoration decora-tion r "We want to make a few tests of the cows In the neighborhood," answered an-swered Jim. "Just another of my fool notions." ' "' "All right" ssld the colonel "Take it along. Oolng to the speakta'T! L "Certainly, he's going," said Jennie, entering. "This la my meeting, Jim," "Surely, I'm going," assented Jim. "And 1 think 111 run along." "I wish ws hsd room for you In tbe car." said the colonel. "But I'm going around by Bronaoa's to pick up ths speaker, and TO hsve s chuck-up load" - "Not se much of load aa yoa think," said Jennie. Tm going with Jim. Ths walk will do me good." - - Any candidate warms to bar voting poputadoa Just before election but Jennie bad a special kindness for Jim. Hs was no longer a farm hand, Ths fact that be waa coming to be a center of disturbance la ths district and that she quite failed to understand how his eccentric behavior could bo harmo- nixed with those principles of teaching teach-ing which shs had imbibed at the stats normal school la Itself lifted him nearer to equality with her. A public a usance is really more respectable than a nonentity. ; She gave Jim s thrffl as she passed through the gats that, hs opened for bar. White moonlight os nor white . furs suggested purity, sraltstlnsj, the . sssence of womanhood things ft ' finer In the woman of twenty-seven than the glamour thrown ever hla by the school girl at sixteen. Jim gave her no thrill; for ho looked gaunt and angular tn his skimpy, ready-made suit too short Is legs and sleevea, and toe chin for ths season. Tot as they walked along, Jim grew upon her. He strode on with tmrasnss strides, mads slow to accommodate accom-modate her shorter steps, and embar rassing her by his entire absence of effort to keep step, for sB that ha lifted his face to the stars, and he pointed out the great open spaces la ths Milky Way, wondering at their emptiness snd at ths fact that no telescope can find stars la them. They stopped and looked Jim laid hla hard bands on the shoulders of ber white fur collarette. "What's the use of political meet ings," said Jim, "when you and I can stand here and think our way out oven beyond the limits of our uni- verser "A wonderful Journey," said she, not quite understanding bis mood, "hut while we roam beyond the Milky Way, ws aren't getting any votes for me for county superintendent" Jim . said nothing. He waa quite re-established on tbe earth. "Don't you want me to be elected, Jlmr Jim seemed to ponder this for some time a period ef tsktng the matter under advisement which caused Jennie to drop hla arm and busy herself with her skirts. Tea." said Jim. at last ; "of course 1 do." Nothing more waa said until they reached the schoolhouse door. "Well," said Jennie rather Indignantly, Indig-nantly, "I'm glad there are plenty of voters who are more enthusiastic about me than you seem to be J" More Interesting to s keen observer than the speeches were the unusual things In the room. Itself. On the blackboards, with problems In arithmetic, arith-metic, were calculations ss to the feed Ing value of various rations for live stock, records of laying hens and computation com-putation as to the excess of value. In' eggs produced over the cost of feed. Pinned to the wall were market reports re-ports on all sorts of farm products, and especially numerous were the statistics sta-tistics on the prices of cream and butter. but-ter. There were files of farm papers piled about, snd racks of agricultural bulletins.,' In one corner of the room was s typewriting machine, and In another a aewlng machine. Parte of aa old telephone were scattered about on ths teacher's desk. A model of a piggery stood on a shelf, dona In cardboard card-board ' Instead of the usual collection of text books In the desk, there were hectograph hec-tograph copies of exercises, reading lessons, arithmetical tables, snd essays on various matters relating to agriculture, agricul-ture, all of which were accounted for by two or three band-made hectographs hecto-graphs e very fair sort of printing plant lying on a table. The members of the school board were there, looking on these evidences of Innovstlon with Wonder and more or leu .disfavor- Things were disorderly. disor-derly. The text-books recently adopted adopt-ed by the board against some popular protest ' hod evidently been pitched, neck sod crop, out of tbe school by we maa wnon vonner had termed A dub. It was a sort ef contempt far the powers that be. Colonel Woodruff was Is the chair.
