For ten or fifteen years old f/,Mohary
Lurvey, who lived only fouv 1 "e
from the old home farm in M'ine
was the old squire's rival a most ag
gressive one?in the lumhev husines:-,
and we were engaged in more than
one distracting quarrel with him. Vet
we could not help hut foel 'i cert'ti
sympathy for him when, al the ae.e e
fifty-eight he set out to got an ed lea
lion.
Old Zack would never tell .anyone
where ho came from, though ther.was
a rumor that ho h i 1 ' ^ <?? ?i* i?> >*1
from Petitcodiac, New I3run wick
When as a hoy of about twenty h<

I could neither re ad nor write; ap)
mm entlv he had never seen a cl oolhou-c
He did not even know thoie w
a place as Hoston, or New \ ork, and
had never heard of fieorge Washing
But he had settled and gone to worl
at the place tha1 wa after.', .n !
known as Lurvey's Mills; and he .soon
began to prosper, for ho \y po
H sussed of keen mother wit arid had
energy and resolution enough <".>) h;H
a dozen ordinary men.
For years and year in all hi man

all 'pin accounts on the attir- floor of
his house with bean; and kern' Is or
corn, oven after they represented
thousands of doll.urs. Then at la: ( ji
disaster befell him; his house burned
while he was avvav; and from the confusion
that resulted the rlisadvantnfrc
of bookkeeping in cereal v.a. so forcibly
borne in upon him thai he suddenly
resolved to le. rn to read, write
and reckon.
On the first day of the following
winter term he appeared at the district
schoolhouse with a primer, ;x
spelling- book, a Greenleaf's Arithmetic,
a copy book, a pen and an ink
bottle.
The schoolmaster was a youn/v
sophomore from Howditin College
named Marcus Cobb, a stranger in
the placc. When he entercfd the
schoolhouse that morning ho wa visibly
astonished to see a lair", bony
forniitably looking old nvm j-rjtting

"Don't ye be srairt <?f mo.\ youi t>feller,"
old Zaek said to him. "4

"I never* spelled ii," old Zack re<?li"d
with a grin. "I'm here to larn
>ow Kac! is, I'm jc.sl. a lettle backward."
Mia tor be^an to realize
'hat ho was in for something extraordinary.
hi truth he had the time
his life there that winter. Not
ivit l<i Zack misbehaved; on the con ry.
ho was a model of studiousness
?i was vor\ anxious to learn. Hut
'"iC Hon wont hard with him at first;
wa moro than a week in learning
letters and sat by the hour makth?
ii on a slate, muttering them
id. sometimes vehemently, with
.i In! gro.ans. M and W gave him
. ta .rouble; and so did H and Iv.
o givw so wrathful over his miskc
s ;;f times that lie thumped the
.id once he hurled
:s primer at the. stove.
"Wh\ did they make the measly
< !o tliiiif!" look 'omueh alike!" he
vied.
He v. i hgd to ; kip the letters al i.-eilna
aiid <> learn to read by the
o'c.i ( f i' words; hut the master
ur ! hin th.vt he must learn the
'f>hiihot first if he wished to learn to
vritr l 'tor, md finally wholly he pre.
i'' ! with Jin* stubborn old man.
"Well, I do want to larn," old Zack
if plied. "I'm goin' the whole hog, et'
it kills me!"
And apparently it did pretty near
kill him; at any rate he perspired
o r r his woi k and at times was near
. I.f.lding tears.
Certain of the letters he drew on
paper with ; lead pencil and pasted on
he hack of his hands, so as to keep
them in light. One day he tore the
alphabet out of his primer and put
it into the crown of his cap?"to see
p4% it wouldn't soak in," he said. When
fler a hard struggle he was. able to
ri three letters together and spell
at c-a-t, ho was so much pleased
t.k;t h?- clapped his hands and shoutcd,
".Seal!" at the top of his voice.
The effect of such performances on
a roomful of small boys and girls
was not conducive to good order. It
u ' o i!y with difaculty that the young
I >ia tor could hoar lessons or induce
his pupils to study.\ Old Zack was
I 'no of at'raction for every juvenile
pyo.
it v. as when the old fellow (\rst
began lo wrivo his name, or try to, in
i i ;pv hook, 1hat he caused the
ovpat^s' commotion. Only with the
o ' (Viinfi'l efforts did his wholly
Mlrained lingers trirce the copy that
*!.o master had s^t. His mouth, fol!owci'
Ihe . \ rubles of his fingers;
I aciul grimaces that resulted
tiir? > < hool ito a gale of laughter,
in fact. the ma tor?a good deal
i hin -el!'?was wholly unable
to cairn the room so long ,us old Zack
(< !iti? ued his exercise in writing.
Th'? < hildren of course carried home
: r'm11.ts of what went on at school;
I .(I ceH,; in of the parents complained
{' th^ rhool aj?ent that their child/on
were not learning properly. The
toi.tplaints continued, and finally the

ihat lie must leave.
"I don't <hink you have any right
to lie hove," Moss said to him. "And
vomVo giving trouble; you raise sucli
i di.;1111banee (hut the children can't
attend to their studies."
O''! / ick appealed to Master Cobb
Have ' broken any of your rules?'
j'stt. :t. The master could not say
that ho hud, intentionally.
"Havei t I . iudied?" old ZacV

"You're too * old to' draw school
money/' the lawyer informed him.
"No money coiVie^ 4o you for schooling
after you are twenty-one, and
you look to be three times its t?M a.that.!"
Thereupon old Zack drew out his
pocket book ami laid down twenty dollars.
"There is* your money," said
ho. "I can pay my way."
"liut you are too old to attend a
district school," the lawyer insisted.
"You can't go after.you are twentyone."
'
"But 1 have never been," old Zack
argued. "I never used up my right
lo go. I oupfhter have it now T'
"That isn't the pojnt,' declared tr.e
lawyer. ^You're tort 6Td to go. Be
sides, we are informed that you are
keeping thd lawful' pupils rom prop

must pick up your books and le:i\?

Old Zuck eyed hi m in silence. ''I'm
goin' to school, . nd I'm goin' here,'
he snid at last. '
That was defiance of the board's
authority and the lawyer?a young
man?threw otV his cout and tried ti
eject the unruly pupil from the room;
but to his chagrin he was hi1 isel I
ejected, with considerable damage i< I
his legal raiment. Returning: from
the door, old '/.nek ofVeredopportuni^
f<>i* battle to the reverend gentlemen,
which they * prudently declined. The
lawyer re-entered, covered with snow,
for old Zack had dropped him into a
drift outside.
Summoning his two colleague:- and
Lhc schoolmastei to assist, him in snstaining
the constituted authority, the
lawyer once more advanced upon old
Zack. who retreated to the far corner
of the room and.hade them come on.
Many of the smaller pupils were
now crying from fright; /.u?d the two
clergymen, probably feeling that the
proceedings had. become scandalous,
persuader! their colleague to cease
hostilities.; and in the^end the.board
contented itself with,--.putting a : for*
mal order of expul ion into writing.
School was:, then dismissed for that^
afternoon, and. thov all went away,
leaving- old Zack n.ncked into -the corner
of the room. *Bui, regardless of
his "expulsion," the. next morning he
came to school again and .resumed hiarduous
