""i TIMES-NEW- Helen RTMartir CODD, STORY FROM THE START and fastidious Handsome, wealthy young St. Croix Creigh-to- n awaits his sweetheart at their trysting place. She is late, this ordinary little Pennsylvania Hutch girl, Meely Schwenekton. Despite her seeming: Innocence and Ignorance, she succeeds in keeping him at a distance, to his chagrin. Meely, In the Schwenekton home, where she is boarding; is altogether unlike the girl who meets St. Croix clandestinely. She Is the teacher In the neighborhood school, of which Marvin Creifrhton, St. Croix' brother, Is superintendent. Meely learns that Marvin was to have married his cousin, a titled English lady, but, believing she was attracted by the Creighton wealth, had refused the alliance. It Is the rumor that St. Croix Is to take Marvin's place and marry the English girl. St. Croix' jealousy is aroused by Meely's report of an aged suitor for her hand. The girl cleverly decoys him Into admitting he has no Intention of marrying her. CHAPTER IV Continued since Mr. Schwenekton hail warned her that the superintendent would be visiting her school, she had pone cautiously; had been ready, at an Instant's warning, to have the children suddenly busy at the blackboard "doing tables" or something like that. Put as 111 luck would have It, It was very afiernoon of his visit that she had rilne so entranclngly engrossed I.ihX wi(ie departure fr M "prescribed branches" that shevpr. heard his knock 'Hn t'ie JTuo!room door, never saw him.Qn''r! and God only knew how long he had been standing there watching her wild performance, when suddenly the faces of the children warned her. Her back was toward the door at the moment, but she did not have to turn to know l:ewas standing there! Horror of h rors : J lint lie should nave raugnt her at such a moment as this, after all her precautions! She was so she M unned with embarrassment could not have turned around if her life had been the forfeit for not doing Kvor was no air of superiority, no but an offhand directness which took it for granted that he was on your level, rather than that he accepted you on his. He impressed her on sight as being genuine. "I can't teach before you !" she exclaimed, as though accusing him of our famous American "moral turpitude." "I Just can't and that's all there Is about It!" (She made an effort to pronounce her a's as In air rather than as in art, as her natural speech, she knew, would seem highly unnatural for a Kutztown Normal school graduate and a teacher In this vicinity.) "But" He turned in his chair and faced her. Such an unprofessional mien as this he had not encountered in any schoolroom of the county. "I understand, Miss Schwenekton, that you are a graduate of Kutztown Normal school. Then you ought to know a lot more about this business of teaching than I do! I'm not a Kutztown Normal graduate." She had nothing to answer. She almost hung her head, furious at her helpless stupidity; St. Croix had never put her to such confusion "You are a normal school graduate, aren't you?" She slightly nodded. Site had never in the least minded telling lies to St. . Croix.

Pretending to be unaware of his presence, she moved stiffly to the edge of the platform and spoke faintly, di- recting the several grades to the orthodox blackboard or tablet work with which she had planned to propitiate him on his visit though she knew she was just several minutes too late, She'd been now, to deceive him. oh, oh! caught Seating herself at her desk, her back still toward him, she awaited kli approach. P.tit he did not come. A hope leapt up in her heart that she had been mistaken. P.ut she was still too terrified to look around.

"Well, I'm glad I've lTJ.il you to stretch mine out." That was fervently declared. 'Here's another one that I think a little amusing." said the instructor: "From what I observed as I entered, I must say I'm glad it was only a breaking of the usual routine!

"Now you make me very curious! Let's have a sample of this originality!" "You see. I hold that children should he taught," she discoursed airily, adopting somewhat the tone of a platform lecturer, "what Is for their immediate use and pleasure, rather than for the future, for only so will they grow.
