But when the next slip came forth, "James E. Irwin, two," the board of directors of the ' Woodniff Independent district were stunned at the slowly dawning knowledge that they had made an election Before they had rallied, the secretary drew from the box. the third and last ballot and read, "James E. Irwin, three." President Bronson choked as he the result choked and stammered, and made very hard weather of it but he went through with the motion, as we all run in our grooves. "The ballot having shown the unanimous election of James E. Irwin, I declare him elected." He dropped Into his chair, while the secretary, a very methodical man, drew from his portfolio a contract duly drawn up save the name and signature. This he calmly filled out and passed over to the president, pointing to the dotted line. Mr. Bronson would have signed his own death-warraat that moment not to mention a perfectly legal document, and signed with Peterson and Bonner looking on atonlly. The secretary signed and hoved the contract over to Jim Irwin. "Sign there," be said. Jim looked It over, saw the other signatures, and felt an impulse to dodge the whole thing. Then he Woodruff's of Jennie thought "Humph P and he signed I "Move we adjourn," said Peterson. "No "bjection 'tis so ordered!" said Mr. Bronson.

"What- - do you mean,., pajl. scoffed Jennie "a Brown Mouse!" "A fellow In Edinburgh," said the colonel, "crossed the Japanese walts-in- g mouse with the common white mouse.

Jim's mother is an al bino of a woman, with all the color washed out In one way or another. Jim ought to be a mongrel, and I've always considered him one. But the Edinburgh fellow every once in a while got out of his variously-colorewaltzing and albino hybrids, a brown mouse. It wasn't a common house mouse, either, but a wild mouse unlike any be had ever seen. It ran away, and bit and gnawed and raised bob. It was what we breeders call a Mende-Ha- n segregation of genetic factors that had been In the waltxers and albinos all the time their original wild ancestor of the woods and fields. If Jim turns out to be a brown moose, he may be a bigger man than any of us. Anyhow, Tm for him." "He'll have to be a big man to make anything out of the Job of country school teacher," said Jennie, 'Any Job's as big as the man who holds It down," said her father. Next day Jim received a letter from No business can succeed unless its product Is profitably sold. Most farms have a fine production department but su sales department. They grow crops and stock bought by buyers who set the price. One of the chief reasons for this unprofitable situation Is the average farmer's poor facilities for moving bis crops or stock to the place where he can sell or ship to the best advantage. Because of the time and expense of horse delivery millions of dollars worth of produce spoils annually on American farms. The saving of this waste would in many cases, change a losing farm to a Old Man Slmms Started for His Gun, what they bad and not what they de sired. The father was faded, retched, gray and earthy, and the boys looked better than the rest solely because we expect boys to be torn and patched. Mrs. Slmms was Invisible except as a l. In gray blur beyond the the midst of which her pipe glpwed with a regular ebb and flow of embers. On the next rainy day Jim called again and secured the services of Ray mond to help him select seed corn. He was going to teach the school next winter, and he wanted to have a seed corn frolic the first day. Instead of waiting until the last and you had to get seed corn while it was oo the stalk, If you got the best No Slmms could refuse a favor to the fellow who was so much like themselves, and who was so greatly inter ested in trapping, hunting and the Tennessee mountains so Raymond went with Jim, and with Newt Bronson and five more they selected Colo nel Woodruffs seed corn for the next year, under the colonel's personal superintendence. In the evening they looked (he grain over on the Woodruff lawn, end the colonel talked about corn and corn se lection.

Immediately upon the accidental election of Jim Irwin to the position of teacher of the Woodruff school, he developed habits somewhat like a ghost's or a bandit's. Tl.at Is, he walked of nights and on rainy days. On One days, he worked In Colouel Woodruffs flelds as of yore. Jim's salary waj to be Just $300 for nine months' work In the Woodruff school, and h was to find hlmse,jfand his mother. Therefore, he had to Indulge In his loose habits of night walking and roaming about after hours only, or en holidays and in foul weather. The Slmms family, being from the "mountings" of Tennessee, were rather startled one night, when Jim Irwin, sihomely, stooped and errandless, circle In their farafly lently appeared about the front door.
