.With this my friend, by whose
fluenco I was installed in the acad

leave me.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Jeffries,
said ; " how can I keep-"
" Clear of them ?" he added, \
a sly laugh. "Draw your own in

light hearts. When you catel

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:

" 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

her eyes for a single moment lo my

\ though, at the same time, it did nov
jilease me. I did not care lo have

j did, and I felt sure she would.
At the quarter-hour oil' intermis

Children in pinafores! I smiled
grimly to myself as the audacious
