Miranda's
; Whims
By A. M. DAVIES OGDEN

' =C
I It was afternoon on one of the list
tow hot days of summer. ThrougL' tho
open windows came glimpses of green'
tvo.mI bespeaking a delicious coolness
an 1 (he ripple of brooks, but in the
schoolroom the air was undeniably
cl j-ie. Tbe scratch of a pencil, the
j shutlling of Impatient little feet, tbe
drone of a lazy bee, all seemed to intensify
the impression of heat, and the
yoitl.g schoolmaster stirred restlessly.
! It had meant a great deal to Peter
Raymond, securing the village school
at Wimberly, hut he had not found his
task an easy one. Ills eyes, wandering
over the rows of bent heads before hint,
eiieout 2d the glance of a girl seated
near the oor. The girl, one of the older
scholars, with a toss of Iter curls,
returned to her hook, and the trouble
in the schoolmaster's face deepened.
Here was tho crux of the situation. If
he could win Miranda Hemming to b.a
side the remainder of the pupils would
follow easily enough, lhtt it was Miranda
herself, with her great blue eyes,
fetching dimples ami coquettish ways,
j who openly led tho revolt against liiiu.
The teacher sighed again. Perhaps be
I was loo young.
I From the very beginning of his work,
1 however, Raymond had recognized the
primitive instinct of hostility to the unknown
in the questioning eyes uplifted
to his own. Now, after live weeks, he
seemed no nearer the solution of his
problem; indeed, matters under Miranda's
spirited guidance were becoming
even Worse, despite ids pointed ignoring
o( her mutiny. lie touched the ho!!.
I "First class In grammar," lie said.
Miranda, with several other girls, rangj
iug from sixteen to eighteen, came
! slowly forward. It was rather a trying
recitation. Most of tin* girls stumhied.
Miranda failed utterly, nor did
she cure. To nil his questions she answered
with provoking nonchalance,
evidently indifferent as to whether lie
were pleased or not. Iler rebellion had
never before been quite so openly manifest.
A sudden line of resolution
tightened the young man's mouth.
"Vou may return to your seats," he
said. "Miss Miranda, I shall expect
you to remain after school until tluit
lesson is recited perfectly."
"What1." cried the girl. Involuntarily
she fell back a step, hardly believing
her own ears. That any one should
dare address her, Miranda Ilciuiuiug
in such fashion! Ilnyuiond's expivs.-iiu
did not change. <
"Vou heard what I said," ho retutJhec
quietly. "It should not take lon^."
For a moment Miranda. sj>?/pelicd
lies! t a tod, then she flounced indignant
' ly back to her seat. The wMole school,
which had dropped all w/>rk to lister
to the passage ..aj. .nvvrfs between Mi
.vmxUi iivvd the teacher, fairly shivered
and Tom t'nrruthers, a big, loutisl
chap of nineteen, shot a sullen look ul
Raymond. To scold Miranda! To the
_ quivering excitement of the school, the
time until 4 o'clock appeared fairly te
fly. Would teacher really keep in Ml
( raneia?
d When the others arose, Miranda nl.se
sprang to her feet. Then something it
ll Hi*! teacher's expression caused her tc
sink back in her seat, tingling an*]
' shushed. It took an unusually lonji
time for the pupils to disperse thai
n day, but at last they were all gone,
r "You need not think that I shal
?> study tliat lesson," she declared witl
51 sharp emphasis. Raymond nodded.
"As you please," he answered. "Onlj
, here we both stay until j'ou do."
_ I "And I'm not to have any supper?'
I incredulously.
s J "Not until j'ou learn that lesson."
y ; "But"? burst out Miranda furious
j ly. Then she closed her lips with r
snap and leaned back, her hands teiu
L' pestuously folded before her. Ray
lnond picked up a book.
"Take your own time," he said pleas
* aptly.
Hut somehow the book (lid not prove
very enthralling. Between his eyes ant]
Hie printed pages persisted the vision
of a willful little face set in its tangle
of wavy hair. Y'et lie must not be
beaten now. llis whole future hung
011 this issue, he thought. The shad
j ows lengthened, the sun dropped bes
hind the lulls. Miranda, who for some
1 time had been stealing furtive glances
' at the quiet figure behind the big desk
smiled prettllj'.
3 "I'm?I'm hungry," she wheedled
For an instant Raymond wavered
; This new sweetness was strange and
1 alluring. But before lie could speak
.. the door was tlung open and Tom Cart
ruthors appeared on the threshold.
"Ben't ye coinln' home to supper,
Mi randy?" he demanded. "Yor ma sent
me for ye," darting a suspicious look
. at her Jailer. "Ain't ye comln'? I'll
' look out fer ye." ?
"Why," began Miranda feebly. Raymond,
a sudden, unaccountable resentment
surging into his heart, frowned.
"Miss Miranda is in no need of a
champion," he declared stitlly. "She
can leave when she chooses. You may
' go." And Tom, after an instant's
* scowling hesitation, went out, hanging
the door. Miranda hit her lip.
[ "I will never learn that lesson," she
repented stubbornly.
There was another long silence while
the shadows darkened. At last the
young man rose nnd lit the lamp.
"It Is nearly 0 o'eloek," he said brief
ly. Miranda, now close upon tears,
looked hack still defiant.
"And If I say It you'll let me go?"
"Certainly."
With rapid, choked utterances sbs

' question or comment. And then?
i "l?I liate you," she cried vehemeni
ly; "bote you, linte you! And I'll ue>
er. never come into this horrid sclioo
rwm again!" Tlie bright drops shon
in her eyes like dew on forgetmenot:
her cheeks were flushed to n wild ros
pink; the girl was shaken, puzzler
hurt. The village boys she had tease
and ruled at will. For the first tlm
1 she had found a man impervious allk
tj her auger or smiles. From the da;
that he, a stranger, had met her eye
la calm unconcern she had tumor
sciously resented the fact. Now the rt
pressed wrath of weeks found vent.
"I hate you," she reiterated stonnilj
The next moment she had flashe
through the door and was gone. Itaj
luoiul, oddly depressed in spite of hi
victory, followed slowly.
The world was flooded with (he trar
