piNS OF-CHILDREN I

It was a bleak, rainy autumn day
and in the fourth grade room of the
Bellingham school the weather, react
ing as it always does upon the pupils,
had produced a state of inattention,'
restlessness and disorder, which grew
►more marked with every hour. Miss
Booth, the pretty little teacher, had a
worried line creasing her smooth white
forehead and there was a worried
look in her soft brown eyes.
As usual, the ringleader w-as Chaun
X cey Bartlett. During the first three
weeks of school he had been absent,
convalescing from a minor operation,
and Miss Booth, who was a stranger in
the place and a new teacher in the
School, had had no especial trouble
with her pupils. But when Chauncey
got back, the young Imps of the fourth
grade rallied to their leader to a boy;
the little girls loved their teacher and
frankly disapproved of “those hor
rid boys.” The negative consolation
■* of this, however, hardly offset the ac
tive discomfort caused by the busy
Chauncey.
He was a handsome boy, the only
child of Doctor Bartlett, and it was
whispered among the teachers that if
any of their number should presume to
Inflict corporal punishment upon
Chauncey, the offender would not re
main long in the Bellingham school.
Doctor Bartlett was said to be violent
ly opposed to corporal punishment.
Upon this day the principal was ill
and at home. Chauncey, aware of the
— _ fact, became more and more outrage
ous until Miss Booth saw that she
must assert herself decidedly or lose
tire last vestige of authority she pos
The last straw was a shrill whistle,
proceeding without the least conceal
ment from Chauncey’s puckered lips.
"Chauncey,” said the teacher, “pass
Into the dressing room. Albert, you
|^ay act as monitor till I return."
iSlie took from the desk drawer a
heavy ferule and followed the offend
er into the dressing room and closed
the door.
“Chauncey,” she said, “hold out your
hand !”
The hoy’s eyes widened.
“You whip me and I’ll tell my fa
ther !” he retorted defiantly.
‘Tell him, by all means,” was the
spirited reply, “and If he makes any
objections. I’ll ferule him, too. Hold
out your hand!”
The unmistakable ring of authority
and of perfect fearlessness in her tone
had their effect. Chauncey held out
his hand and a few moments later was
trying to avoid whimpering over a
tingling pain. He was very quiet the
rest of the morning and the others,
^ awed by the events which, had oc
curred, were models of behavioi\ He
did not return for the afternoon ses
sion, however, and Miss Booth augured
the worst from the fact. She had just
finished superintending her desk for
the night when there came a tap on
the door, and going to answer it, her
heart almost stopped beating to see
the splendid figure of Doctor Bartlett
towering before her.
“Miss Booth, I believe?” he began
stepping into the room in answer to
her mute gesture of invitation. “I un
derstand that you feruled my son
■Chauncey today.”
T did!” said Miss Booth.
“And that you said if I had any ob
Jections you would ferule me?”
“I 1” ranonfp^ Mist Unnth “Ttftlii
our your hand!”
She was close to the breaking point,
weariness and fear, and loneliness all
but overwhelmed her. It was all
over? She would lose her position,
perhaps have great trouble in getting
^ smother.
“And now,” said the doctor, quietly,
rubbing his hands upon his handker
chief, “let’s talk this over. You see, I
haven’t any objections to your ferul
ing my son!”
Miss Booth’s face became ashen.
“Don’t be disturbed, I beg,” said the
doctor. “I understand the whole thing.
Chauncey Is, as you know, motherless;
I am away from home too much to
give him th« attention he needs, and
0 he winds our cook round his little fin
ger. It is true, I do not believe in
whipping children too often, but there
comes a time with some when nothing
else, apparently, will bring them to
their senses. Chauncey has used a
mistaken Impression which prevailed
about me to tyrannize over his teach
ers. I felt that any teacher without
backbone enough to enforce obedience
without fear or favor deserved no as
sistance from me. I am glad that he
has found one of the other kind at
last. He Is at present In bed at home,
and I think I can premise you that he
♦will be obedient In the future!”
Miss Booth sat down weakly in her
chair. The room was going round and
the doctor was becoming a giant. She
presently woke to find him holding
water to her lips, her head pillowed
comfortably against hig great arm.
“You little thoroughbred,” a voice
was saying above her, “I never en
joyed anything like those slaps with
the ferule!”
*******
The next June the doctor transferred
the ferule and its owner to his own
home, with the enthusiastic approval
^ of Master Chauncey.
The Real Grievance.
“f don’t mind yer mean disposi
tion,” said Farmer Corntossel when
the cow kicked over the milk bucket;
“what I complain of is yer extrava
gance.”
