"TEACHER'S PET/'
Synopsis.?With his grandfather,
small Ramsey Mllholland Is watch?
ing the "Decoration Day Parade"
in the home town. The old gentleman.
a veteran of the Civil war, t
endeavors to impress the youngster
with the significance of the great
conflict, and many years afterward
the boy was to remember his
words with startling vividness. In
the schoolroom, a few years later,
Ramsey is not distinguished for
brilliancy. He hates German even
more than arithmetic.
O i>
CHAPTER II.?Continued.
Sometimes, too, there were moments
of relaxation in her class, when she
wtujld stop the lesson and tell the I
children about Germany: What a beautiful,
pood country it was, so trim and
orderly, with such pleasant customs,
and all the people sensible, energetic |
and healthy. There was "Music" again
in the German class, which was another
alleviation; though it was the
same old "Star Spangled Banner" over
again. Ramsey was tired of the song
and tired of "My Country 'Tis of
Thee"; they were bores, but it was
amusing to sing them in German. In :
German they sounded "sort o' funny,"
so lie didn't mind this bit of the day's
work.
Half an hour later there arrived his
supreme trial of this particular morning.
Arithmetic then being the order
of business before the house, lie was 1
sent alone to the blackboard, supposedly
to make lucid the proper reply to
a fatal conundrum In decimals, and
under the glare and focus of the
whole room he breathed heavily and
itched everywhere; ids brain at once!
became sheer hash. He consumed as
much time as possible iu getting the
terms of the problem stated in chalk; 1
then, uffecting to be critical of his own |
handiwork, erased what lie had done j
and carefully wrote It ugain. After
that he erased half of it, slowly retraced
figures, and stepped back us if
to see whether perspective improved
their appearance. Again lie lifted the |
eraser.
"Ramsey Milholland!"
' .Ma'am?"
"I'ut down that eraser!"
"Yes'm. I Just thought?"
Sharply bidden to get forward with
his task, ne? explained in a feeble voice
that he hud first to tie a shoestring
and stooped to do so, but was not per- ;
initted. Miss Ridgely tried to stimulate
him with hints and suggestion; j
found him, so far us decimals went,
mere protoplasm, and. wondering how
so helpless a thing could live, summoned
to the board little Dora Yocum,
the star of the class, whereupon Ramsey
moved toward his seat,
j "Stand still, Ramsey! You stay
. right where you are and try to learn
something from the way Dora does
it." _ j
The class giggled, and Itamscy stood,
hut learned nothing. His conspicuousness
was unendurahle, because all of r
Ills school!tates naturally found more
entertainment in watching him than
in following the performance of the
capable Dora.
Instructed to watch every figure
chalked up by the mathematical wonv.
uer, his eyes, grown sodden, were unable
to remove themselves from the :

their sepN^ite careers to end in u cou1
pie of blue-aftd-red-checked bits of rib-,
boll, one upon eii^of
der itlailes. His sensations clogged his
Intellect; lie suffered from unsought
notoriety, and hated Dora Yocum;
most of all lie hated her busy little
shoulder blades.
He had to be "kept in" after school;
and when he was allowed to go home
he averted his eyes as lie went by the
house where Dora lived. She was out |
in the yard, eating a doughnut, and
he knew it; but he hud passed the age
when it is just as permissilde to throw
a rock at a uirl as at a boy; and
stilling his normal inclinations, he
walked sturdily on, though he indulged
himself so far as to engage in a murmured
conversation with one of the
familiar spirits dwellling somewhere
within hint. "Pfa!" said Ramsey to
himself?or himself to Ramsey, since
it is dltHcnlt to say which was which.

f He had not forgiven her four yenrs
later when lie entered high school in
her company, for somehow Ilnnftey
managed to shovel his way through
examinations and stayed with the
class. He was unable to deny that
she had become less awful lookin'
tban she used to be. At least, he was
honest, enough to make a partial retraction

amelioration of Dora's appearance
could lie actually "proven.
"Well. I'll take it back. I don't
claim she's every' last hit as awful
lookln' as she always has been," said
Itamsey, toward the conclusion of the
argument. "I'll say this for her, she's
awful lookin', but she may not be as
awful lookin' as she was. She don't
come to school with the edge of some
of her underclo'es showiu' below her
dress any more, about every other day,
and her eyewinkers have not to stickin'
out some, and she may not be so
abbasalootly skinny, but she'll haf to
wait a mighty long while before I
want to look fit her without gettin'
sick!"
The implication that Miss Yocnm
cared to have Itamsey look at her,
either with or without gettin' sick, was
mere rhetoric, ami recognized as such
by the producer of it; she had never
given the slightest evidence of any
desire that his gaze be bent upon her.
What truth lay underneath his flourish
rested upon the fact that he could
not look at her without some symptoms
of the' sort he hud -tersely
sketched to his friend; and yet, so
pungent is the fascination of self-in

dieted misery, he did look at her, during
periods of study, often for throe or
four minutes at a stretch. His expression
at such times indeed resembled
that of one who lias dined unwisely;
but Dora Yoeum was always
too eagerly busy to notice it. He was
almost never in her eye, but she was
continually ip his; moreover, as the
banner pupil she was with hourly frebeftire

Ramsey found her worst of all when
her turn came in "Declamation," on
Friday afternoons. When she ascended
the platform, bobbed a little preparatory

Dura hold this post in "Declamation"
as well as in everything else; here, as
elsewhere, the hateful child's prowess
surpassed tluit of all others; and the
teacher always entrusted her with the
rendition of tlie "patriotic selections."
Ituinsey himself was in the same
section of declainters, and performed
next?a ghastly contrast, lie gave a
"selection from Shakespeare." assigned
by the teacher; and lie began this continuous
misfortune by stumbling violently
as he ascended the platform,

Ramsey seldom failed their
hopes, particularly In "Declamation."
He faced them, his complexion wan,
his expression both baleful and horrified
; and he begun in a loud, hurried
voice, from which every hint of intelligence
was excluded:
" 'Most pottent, grave and rev?'"
/ The teacher tapped sharply on her
de$k, and stopped him. "You've forgotten
to bow," she said. "And don't
say 'pottent.' The word Is 'potent'."
Ramsey flopped his head at the rear
wall of the room, and began again:

He had stalled. Perhaps the fatnl
truth of that phrase, and some sense
I of its applicability to the occasion had
interfered with the mechanism which
he had set in operation to get rid of
1 the "recitation" for him. At all events,
the machine had to run off its job all

"Yes," tlie irritated teacher said, as
Ramsey's failing voice continued huskily
to insist upon this point. "I think
; you are!" And her nerves were a little
soothed by the shout of laughter
from the school?it was never difficult
for teachers to he witty. "Go sit down,
Ramsey, and do it after school."
His ears roaring, the unfortunate
| went to his seat and, among all the hilarious
faces, one stood out?Dora Yocura's.
Her laughter was precocious;
it was that of a continued superior, insufferably
adult?she was laughing at
him us a grown person laughs at a
chilil. Conspicuously and unmistakably,
there was something indulgent In
her amusement. He choked. He
didn't care for George Washington, or
I'aul Revere, or the teacher, or the
President of the United States, or
Shakespeare, or any of 'em. They
could till go to the dickens with Dora
Ygcum. They were all a lot of smurties
anyway and he hated the whole
, stew of 'eiu!
There was one, however, whom he
somehow couldn't manage to hate,
even though this one officially seemed
to be as Intimately associated with
Dora Yocum and superiority as the
others were. Ramsey couldn't hate
Abraham Lincoln, even when Dora
was chosen to deliver t^ie "Gettysburg
Address," on the twelfth of February.
Lincoln had said "Government of the
people, by the people, for the people,"
and that didn't mean government by
the teacher and the Teacher's Pet and
Paul Revere and Shakespeare and
suchlike; it meant government by
everybody, and therefore Ramsey had
as much to do with it as anybody else
had. Reyond a doubt, Dora and the

them and their crowd of excluslves;
they seemed to tliink they owned the

sure they were mistaken about Abraham
Lincoln.
He felt that it was Just like this little
Yocum snippet to assume such a
thing, am] it made him sicker than
ever to look at her.
Then, one day, lie noticed that her
eye-winkers were stickiu' out farther
and farther.
His discovery irritated him the
more. Next tiling, this ole Teacher's

was pretty! If that happened, well,

of Dora Yocum's; and within a week
the whole room knew that Wesley had

BEATTY REVIEWS SEA SCOUTS
The sea scouts of Chicago were recently
accorded the great houor of being
reviewed by Admiral Beatty. They
were lined up at the Rlackstone hotel.
and the admiral shook hands with
each one of them, and asked questions
about scouting ami sett scouting. Later
he gave the whole group an interesting
talk about the work the British
sea scouts rendered, patrolling the
coast during the war.
Through the good ottices of Howard 1
D. Gillette of the Chicago local council,
Lieutenant Keane, who for the last
four years has been assistant to trie
commandant of the Great Lakes traintrig
station, is meeting the sea scouts

scouts the privilege of the use of
quarters, and the Hamilton club has
offered its swimming tank aril the
services of an instructor. Kach one
of the seven districts of Chicago will
soon have its sea scout troop, and It
Is expected that by spring there will
be some 200 boys actively enrolled In
