Mischievous School Girls and a ceptlble Teacher. "Pride, pride, pride! there have-Charlotte Arden. Mischief, chief, mischief ! there you have '. zie Dane. Look out for them L Hart! And now, good by. 1*11 ? fol your success. .With this my friend, by whose fluenco I was installed in the acad \ of Marlboro as principal, turne leave me. "Wait a moment, Mr. Jeffries, said ; " how can I keep-" " Clear of them ?" he added, \ a sly laugh. "Draw your own in enees. Handsome young men, v light hearts. When you catel glimpse of your pupils you will derstandme. I haven't beenateac here for five years for nothing." "Thank yen! thank you!" With this I ?ftvo my friend hand, and thus we parted. An'hi later I was seated at my desk, in pleasantest school-room, looking ab rue with no small degree of inter for the two pupils of whom my fri. had spoken, and wondering in meantime if his kindly, wcll-me caution would net bting me at o: face to face with the very dan which he had wished me io avoid. Smiling at my own conceit, a failing to find iu tho threescore fa before me one that was part?cula: stamped with pride or one tl at v marked with mischief I turned to J books. Something like a quick whisi broke through the stillness of 1 room as I did so. I glanced up. I erv countenance bore unmistakea: signs of demureness. Smiling agi at my thoughts, ? turned a seco time to my books, and this time b:g apple started from one of t back seats and came rolling down t aisle. The incident was slight; bi taken in connection with my reih tion and my friend's parting won it annoyed me. I picked up the a pie, laid it cn thc desk, and glanc - ^? ra the direction fioui whence it can Goodness I What a pair of bl eyes were raised io mine at that ra ment! Eyes saucy, daring and ! most wicked, which wavered ai brightened like two beautiful srai This was Lizzie Dane, I was qui sure of thal; the red month w dimpled about by smiles, and tl white chin quivered with suppress! merriment. "A good beginning," I though "il augurs well for thc future." <^ Just then tiie school-room door w? darkened, and, looking up, I ?.. Charlotte Arden. - My friend's cai tion was well. How like a beautif picture sLe was as she stood then her fine head, covered with preti braids, perfectly poised, her figur straight, round and perfect, brongl out by the strong, clear light. Ti: very fall of the soft, white robe, ? well as of her slender, gaitered foo just visible beneath the folds of lu sweeping skirt, was artistic. Sh stood, as if hesitating whether or nc it was best for her toenter the schcol room, and her manner W?S cairn, quie and cool. _ ---?mss ?SUJ.W-u.iiw telegraphed t her with her sparkling eyes to enter This failing to have the desired effec she doubled up lier white, cliubb; bands and held them to her mouth trumpet-fashion. I suppressed tin smile that was rising to my lips ar.? turned to Miss Arden, saying : " Have you selected a seat?" "No, sir, I have not," ?he an swered, without moving forward ; i single step. V " You may do so now, if you please,' I I said. She glanced up and down the long rows of seats several times, and lliei :- turned to a side dc-ak but a short dis . > tancc from my table. - "This one, sir," she said; raising her eyes for a single moment lo my t face, and then .turning them, indif % ferent'y, away.\ t. I bowed in approval of her choice \ though, at the same time, it did nov jilease me. I did not care lo have ; her so near, criticising everything I j did, and I felt sure she would. At the quarter-hour oil' intermis sion Miss Arden and Miss Dane pass v ed ibo time in pacing arm in arm - back and forth on the blank space ol floor before my desk. I could have wished, and did wiso, that they had chosen any other prornenad -, but not knowing how to help myself, unle::s I sent Ihem out of dcDrs to play, like two children in pinafores, I raised the lid of my desk between their faces and mine, and protended to be engaged in setting my books and pa pers to rights. Children in pinafores! I smiled grimly to myself as the audacious thought entered my head. Children they both were, I said to. myself, un ceremoniously thrusting my head above the temporary screen to con ara my opinion by u good* look at them-f. proceeding which ma< Lizzie toss her curly head in concei ted attempt at carelessnc brough; a dash of exquisite c the one velvet cheek of hei panion's face which was revea me.

"Say, Lot, don't you think splendid ?"' came that loud wh again. "If I do, I don't intend to lei of it," she retorted. Evidently, however much a she wouid have been lo in for me on such a point, she was no! lo"h for me lo judge of her mt powers, for she burst forth in merry song and warbled like a bi in fact, ?ike twenty bird?. Win my ear looked like a coal or no drank in that gay melody, and, \ it ceased, longed for more. " What eyes he has !" " Rather loo d-jep-sel for beal " Deep-cet, indeed !

" Room or more-" I started h-.-r lhere by droppi book. I was actually getting an But she recovered from her irigii most immediately, and went on, still louder lune: "How do you think he will s wer ?" " Answer ?" Miss Arden spoke inquiringly, puzzled voice: " You speak as ii' you though intended to propose ic? him." "And so, I dare say, you will, bei-j; leap-year, and you so smi-U A -jorry laugh followed this sa "In that case I think In; would swer in the affirmative." " ? ! you conceited creature, ! Arden !"

Nothing to me ! to sit there a hear myself d'scussed in that w; Oh, nothing at ?Ul ! " But. seriously, what do you moat " Why, have you forgotten tl I prophesied a flirtation ?

I hate pi suming men." "Men! Boys!" '. Weil, boys, then. Men in ass rance, boys in intelligence, are wh wo have nowadays." She spoke as if she had lived tho a-j;e of her grand mother. I elene ed my hands, and declined Jupil under my breath in Latin. "Do You think you'll bring hi around ?" " For shame. I'm sure I have i such design on his peace." " Now, itally, I am aching to kno what you intend to do. Shall ye flirt with him ?" Mj intentions were'not consultee but I made them,.nevertheless, bitin my fi tiger-nails viciously all the timi " Oh, no matter." i " You're too bad.

"Weil, I wiil now-two tilings Your hair is twisted out of your net and your collar is shockingly tum bled." " Bother my coihu! Shall you fl ir with him: I wouldn't mind, o.iij that, hateful Sue Liscomb vows she'l get ahead of you, and I don't want to see her win. Now, do tell me !" I thrust my head up again and looked at thorn. They were liol mind ing me in the least, though they had stopped directly in front of me. Liz zie looked flushed and anxious, Miss Ardea cool and self-possessed. .1 laid my hand upon the bell und gave it a violent ringing. Tho two gida stared like culprit^ and glanced hurriedly up at me. What they in my lace I caht't say, but they colored. Just then they separ tor their seat?, but not before I h Lizzie whisper desperatoly, u? von ?" "I shall !" flouted back the re iow .and firm, as ii' determined ni be mistaken. S ould she? We'd see. That afternoon, while I was en i'd with tho French grammar chi wa? startled by a sharp little sci" and by Lizzie Bant.' springing up crying out : " 0 ! a hornet has bitten Charl Arden, Mr. Eldridg?. " Tho whole school tittered.

It was sligi painful at first, but I was not e enough to run horne for a si: hurt." In spite of my anger at her I vied the very words that slip through her red, haughty lips. "] she already begun her arts?" I as myself. If that simplicity of 1 and frankness of voice were art, -Vi confound nature. Well, I wai home with her, carrying her sat of books. My excuse was her a As if she hadn't but one and cuuli by any possibility have earned books on the other. Oh, the < that followed ! Oh, the day that lowed-and the weeks and the mon I Miss Arden wanted to Hilt ami ilirtcd! Miss Arden wanted mc make love to her and I did it. course I had no further expositioi her wishes on the point than overheard conversation of thc f day ; but that was enough. I ti the part assigned to me to play ? played it with ali my heart and st I had the satistaction of knowi as I stood by one of the long VJ dows at the close of the last d watching the scholars lile out, t thc whole village was alive with rumor that my beautiful pupil s myself were engaged. Charlotte Arden" lingered belli the others as if wishing to speak me. The coquette had her last sn; set, I thought bitterly. " I-i stopped to bid you go( by," she said, falteringly, as I ? preached her. How the proud ?1 was humbled by its blushing. " A to-to give you this." She held out a white rose-a wit > j ered while rose. IL was one I h 1 begged from her hair, the night 1 i fore at a party, and she had rel used " Thank you. lt will be a ch< I ?shed souvenir." j I spoke derisively, for all the bi ? blood in my heart was aroused I I her t-rowning artifice. Thc wor were scornful, Lut they were I ru.', spite cf me. She looked up with .shocked expression and made a ha angry motion to snatch the How from my hand. '. We have had a very pleas* j iii talion-have we not, Miss Arden lier face grew deadly white, tin fieiy red. "Flirtation !" she faltered. " Yes. This will remind me of when I am far away." 1 saw the mighty pride that shuj gled in her face. " I don't quite understand yoi sir," she said, with dignity. "I refer you for an explanation 1 my words to the conversation ye i held with Miss Dane about the fin day of the term." ?L.o lcokod puj-.r.led. " I did not have any," she replie after a moment's hesitation. "About.flirting," I suggested, t prompt her memory. " You were t win me away from Sue Liscomb, think." She leaned her head on her ham a mom* '., wondering and confused then she lifted it and broke into 1 merry laugh. "What an absurd mistake ! Ant you overheard us, and have been la boring under that impression for thcs< months ? O ! Mr. Eldridge, how coull you ?" And as though some sudleu recol lection wcll-riiah maddened her, sin hid her face in her hands and broke info a choking tempest 01 tears. "What is^ it, Charlotte?" 1 in quired, softening in an instant, and feeling th.it I had been acting likt= a miserable fool. " We were not talking of you at all, sir," and the hot, blinding Leara ?lowed afresh. " Not talking of me ! It was all my own insufferable conceit, then! \N hat an-" " Idiot," I said aloud, and " mon key" under my breath. She drew up her head a moment later, and would have left, me-but. Pshaw ! The .scene won't bear re hearsing. ' Charlotte Arden is my " wife now.

They were baptized previous io their execution by a Catholic priest, with whom lliey left a full confession of their crime. They died without a struggle. About 200 persons witnessed the execution.
