It looked like rain, and naturally be
bad on a pair of light shot's and cai^ ivd
no timrella. The ear stopped on the far
side of (lirard avenue, and a voting i
lady got in, says the I'hikide!jvhia In* !
ipiirer. Sin1 bowed, and sat down beside \
the Saunterer, who recognized in her a
school teacher friend.
“What do you think of this beastly j
weather?” queried he. disgruntedly*
“Is it going to rain, or isn't it?”.
“1 can't tell vou to-dav.” answered the
*■ i
young lady, smiling ail acceptance of
whatever might come. “If it were a
school day and you were willing to
conic to school w ith me, I could tell vou
t
in a very few minutes with absolute
certainty. It’ll sound funny to you,
but it's true. 1 have noticed that you
can always tell what the weather is go*
ing to be by the children. They’re reg*
ular barometers, if there’s going to
be a storm they get restless, and I have
the hardest kind of work to control
them. Particularly the boys. The girls
aren’t so bad, but there seems to be
some mysterious quality about ap*
proaehing rain that always affects the
former. I’ve got so now I don’t blame
them, because I don’t believe they can
help it. So you see,” she concluded, as
she got out at Chestnut street, “chil
dren have their uses, after all.”
