"Vuu uinlcrstand that I expect you to
look sifter my tlirce rooms, sweep and
dust and all that sort of thing?”
‘'Yes,” remarked Mrs. Petersen, “I
understand. The rooms suit me per
fectly,” sue went on as they passed
down stairs again, "and I shall begin
to pack up tomorrow. It will be so
nice to be able to turn around and not
he alw ays running into everybody. And
now I hat Mr. Petersen’s sister is living
with us - Well, good day. The things
will begin to come by day after tomor
row. Good day.”
Theodore Foster stood looking after
her a moment; then he went Into the
empty pallor and took the large “To
Let” placard from the front window.
He carried it up to his sitting room. "I
hope it will he a long time before 1
have to see you again,” lie told it as he
put it in his desk.
It was the first time for a month that
ho had felt really happy. Paring that
time he had tried to get a tenant for
his house, but had been unable to find
a suitable one. It had been horribly
h'liesonie coming home at night to a
c, 1.1, echoing house. Mat now he would
have the Petersens there, and he look
ed forward to day afier tomorrow with
ji y. lie used to know Joe Peterson,
but he supposed he wouldn’t see much
of him, as .h o was away from home all
1 he week. There were the children too.
lie was fond of children, even if he
was an old bachelor. Then In* remem
bered 1 bat the children must bo nearly
grown up by tliis time. Well, young
people were almost as good as children.
It was the next day, while he was
out taking his constitutional, that Kv-
erson saw him and crossed the street
to speak to him. "So you have got the
Petersens?” he said after they had
walked a few blocks. "Well, there’s
only one thing about them that you
won’t like.”
"What is that?” (jnestionod Mr. Theo
dore.
‘‘Tlieir piano.”
"Oh, 1 don’t mind piano practice as
some do," said Mr. Theodore easily.
"In fad. I rather like il.”
"You haven't lived over tin* Peter
sens yel,” said Lverson sontentiously.
"You wait a little. It's an old piano
that came over iu the Mayflower that
if any pianos did come over then
this is one of (hem. 1 could get more
music out of brass kettles and tin pans.
It's all out of tune, too, and, worst of
all, they keep banging away on it all
tin* time. In vacation it’s something
awful. Then* are three girls that take
lessons, and they are bound to be play
ing, so they keep tin* old tiling going
about nine hours a day.”
Mr. Theodore's face had lengthened
during this description. "What makes
them keep such an old trap?” he asked.
"Well, you see, they’re kind of poor,
and they can’t afford a new one.”
Mr. Theodore walked moodily along
after his friend left him. Then sud
denly his face brightened. "1 can fix
it all right,” he said and went on more
briskly.
The next morning there was consid
erable grumbling from the two men
who moved the Petersons because Ml*.
Theodore Foster insisied oil helping.
He was especially troublesome about
tin* placing of the piano. He insisted
on having it on the very end of the load
ami tied it with his own hands. When
tin* team started, he trotted along be
side it, and they reached the house at
the same time.
It was a raw morning, and the men
were putting blankets on the horses,
when suddenly there came a jangling
crash. They hurried to the back of (lit*
wagon and found Mr. Theodore looking
in horror and dismay at a very badly
smashed piano, "it’s all my fault”—
was all he managed to say before a tor
rent of abuse and curses loud ami deep
overwhelmed him.
Mr. Theodore went and told Mrs. Pe
tersen about the accident, and after he
had gone a Ipud wail arose from .ho
three girls, but when the hfttischold ef
fects were all moved and the Petersens
themselves went to their new home
(her.*, in the parlor, was a beautiful,
brand new piano.
They all stood in the doorway and
stared in amazement.
“Mr. Foster had it sent,” Aunt Sarah
Peterson explained. She had been
there attending to that end of the mov
ing. "He said Hint as it was due to his
carelessness that tin* other was wreck
ed Ik* should lake the liberty of sending
for this (in**.”
Maud, I he oldest girl, went and tried
the instrument. “Isn’t it beautiful?''
she cried rapturously.
Time went on. and the girls practiced
diligently. Their aunt also took advan
tage of the cliauei* to play, so that Mr.
Theodore had all the music be wanted.
The Petersens had been there two
months, when one dav Mr. Theodore
»skcd Maud to go with him to the piuro
rooms.
"I want you to try them all,” he said,
"and (ee if there is one you like better
than the oik* at home.”
Maud tried them. "Xu,” she declar
ed. "there isn’t one so nice.”
“Are Isabel and Katherine satisfied
with It?”
“Why, yes, indeed they are.”
“P.y the way, won’t you play that
Bew waltz for me?’
Hln* seated herself at the nearest In
strument and began to play. When
she had finished, she looked around,
but Mr. Theodore was not beside her,
ns she had supposed. Instead she saw
linn at I lie far end of the room, eoiuuy*
toward her w ith a piece of paper In his
hand. When he reached her. In- pn.->s< ,1
her the paper. “A birthday p.<nt
my dear. I believe It is your blrthd.i.i
today.”
Maud looked at the paper blankly.
Then it dawned upon her that it was a
bill of sale of the piano at home, made
out in her name.
Maud never would tell her sisters
what she did at that moment, but
wlu'u she came home and told them
about it they all declared that Mr.
Theodore was “a dear.”
“Iton’t you think it would lx; betler
for you lo go out of doors more, Miss
Sarah?” Mr. Theodore asked her one
day. “I would be greatly honored if
you would accompany mo on my daily
walks. It is rather tedious going
alone.”
And so it became the custom for the
old bachelor and tin* maiden mint to
walk out every day together.
But after a year of this Miss Sarah
told him one day that she was going
away for a six months' visit.
Mr. Theodore was filled with conster
nation at this and bogged her to recon
sider. lie pleaded so eaini*stl> and
eloijuently that sin* finally promised to
stay away only two weeks and when
she came back to “set the day.”
That was the longest walk they had
taken, aud toward the end of ii Mr.
Theodore said: “My dear, there Is
something I have wanted to tell you
ever since I have known you. It is
about the piano.”
"I don't think you will have to tell
me now,” she said. "I have known it
all the time. I saw you do It.”
"Saw me do it? l>o what?”
“Cut the rope.”
lie stood still and looked at her.
"I was al the window. 1 had come
over to see to things, you know, aud
I saw you take out your knife, step up
to the hub of the wheel and cut the
rope.”
“And you never told!”
“No.”
“Why not?"
“You see,” she said confusedly, her
color rising, “it Hashed upon me at
once what you did it for that old pi
ano, it was an Instrument of torture!—
and that was the beginning of the—of
the end, I think.”
He tried lo look in her averted face.
“I don't understand what you mean by
the end.”
She turned a radiant glance upon
him. “Why, don't you see—today!”—

the line of a crop.

Institution.
Correspondence of Tne Ledger.I
Weijsteu, Aug. 24th—Please allow
me space to write on a subject which
should interest all alike, the system
of public education. While untold
benefit has been derived by the
masses under the process, more can
be, and could hav& been accomplished
under more favorable circumstances.
It is not the intention of the writer
to convey the idea of fault-linding,
but to call attention lo a few weak
places which may be readily adjusted.
The public school system is an im
portant institution. It is to give the
primary information to a large irn.-
jority of individuals that circumstan
ces do not permit of a higher course
being attained. Then the more per
fect should the training be. A child
enters school with no Knowledge of a
future life or the intention of the
routine of tho work at band. The
future may depend in a great measure
on the training then imparted.
8chool officers are responsible for
the impediments which obstruct the
pathway of progress, as they fail to
faithfully discharge their legal duties.
They sometimes allow the patrons to
make their selection for u teacher
which results frequently in an unwise
choice, as patrons generally do not
make the selection from an educa
tional point of view, they not occupy
ing the position too.
This is one cause which often gives
a teacher a new field. No teacher,
regardless of qualification, can suc
cessfully teach until an acquaintance
is formed among the children. It is
necessary, us to teach means to in
struct another from tho known to the
unknown. There is precious time
lost in this particular. A competent
teacher should be encouraged as far
as possible to retain a school from
session to session. Then a uniformity
of books and method of instruction
could be more readily secured. It is j
a teacher’s duty to insist on regular
attendance. In this parents share an
active part, as they do in supplying
their children with the proper books.
Barents do not receive the proper
instruction us to their duties in sus
taining the schools within their re
spective communities. Good govern
ment cannot he attained without
tlieir support. As confidence is placed
in the teacher for instruction, the
same should be in order as to school
management.
The ideas of schools for teachers is
commendable, as they are firmly
established they may be extended
even at an additional cost. Were
the patrons assembled at intervals
and taught a few of tfce rudiments of
school law and progress, it would
be money wisely expended. Most
parents apparently forget that simi
lar activities are now in operation in
the sciiool room as when they were
in school. Besides, there are scores
of those who never enjoyed such
blissful days. Then were teachers
to organize and sustain an associa
tion, and communicate more fre-
quently through the press, the en
tire system would be somewhat im
proved.
The columns of numerous weeklies
are open and could be filled by teach
ers generally. The Ledger might
not he lacking in this respect.

Rossetti iusisted on everybody paint
ing. Rooks, he said, were “no use to a
painter except to prop up models upon
iu difficult positions, and iIkii they
might he very useful.” "If any man
has any poetry iu him,” was another
saying of Rossetti's, "he should paint,
for it has all been said aud written,
and they have scarcely begun to paint
it,” ii saying, by the way, which may
be found also in the third volume of
“Modern Painters.” Morris obeyed
the master and took to painting. Even
when Morris took to making furniture
that craft was at first regarded under
Rossetti's iulluenee as merely a means
of providing spaces for pictorial deco
ration. Morris built some enormous
chairs, "such as Rarbarossa might
have sat in,” said Rossetti, who pro
ceeded to paint their hacks with sub
jects from Morris’ poems.—London
