"And another thing, Toni Moore,
you must never come here again dur-

control the children when you are
around."
Moore laughed.
'You had thein nicely controlled
when I arrived, didn't you?" said he.
"Oh, well, I'll come later and stay
longer. Dismiss them."
Bessie rang the bell and school
broke up for the day immediately.
CHAPTER FOUR
The Blackmailing of Tom Moore.
After bidding good-bye to the vis-

noisily out of the door, rejoicing at
their resumption of freedom, but

was attracted by the attempt of a
ragged little miss to make an un-
noticed exit.
"Little girl," said Moore, gent• ly,
"why are you going withoutsaying.
good-bye to me? .What have I done
to deserve such treatment from a
• young lady?"
The child thus' reproached, a tiny
blonde -haired maiden, dressed in a
faded and ragged frock, looked, timid-
ly at her questioner, and flushed to
her temples.
"I thought you wouldn't want to
say good-bye to me, sir," she answer-
ed, shyly,
"And why l not, alanna?"
"'Cause I'm poor," she whispered.
A tender look came into Moore's
eyes and he crossed to the side of
the child, his generous heart full of
pity for the little one's embarrass-
ment.
"Ihn'poor, too," he said, patting her
yellow curls. "Where do you live, my
dear?"
"Down by the Mill, sir, with my
auntie."
"And is this the best dress she
can give you?'" he hsked, trying the
texture of the little gown and find-
ing it threadbare and thin.
The child looked down at her feet,
for the moment abashed, then 'tieing
her eyes to the ybung man's face,
read only sympathy and tenderness
there, and, thus encouraged, answer-
ed bravely:
"It is better than hers:"
"Then we can't complain, dear, 'can
we? Of course not, but isn't it very
thin?"
"Yes, sir, but I wouldn't mind if it
was a bit more etylish."
Mingle looked at Bessie; smiling at
this characteristic manifestation of
femininity.
"The size of her!" he said. "With
a -woman's vanity already."
Then, turning to the child again, he
continued:
"Well, we poor people must stick
together. PII call on your aunt to-
morrow."
-"Will you?" cried the girl in de-
light. "And you'll sing to us?"
"That I will," said Moore, heartily'.
"Now run along like a good girl, and
• minct me, dear, never be ashamed of
your honest poverty. Remember
that the best man of us all slept in.
a manger."
"Yes, sir," responded the child,
happily, "I'll not forget."
As she started for the door Moore
called her back and put a shilling in
her little pink palm.
"What will you do with it?" he
asked, chucking her under the chin.
"Buy a ribbon, sir."
"A ribbon?" echoed Moore in imi-
tation of her jubilant tone.

"I wish to study me lessons,' re-
plied Patsy, enthusiastically.
Fairly dashed, Moore returned to
Bessie.
"I never saw a lad so fond of his
books before," said he.
"It is a new thing for Patsy," said
Bessie with a laugh. "There is no
bigger dunce in school." •
"Is that so?" asked Moore. "Faith,
I'm, beginning to understand:"
Patsy looked sharply over his book
at the young poet.
"Can't you study at home, my lad?"
"No, sir."
r ,
"Will you teener-- say 'Yes, sir,'
again?"
"No, sir." ,
"Now look here, my young friend,
if you say 'Yes, sir,' or 'No, sir,'
again I'll beat the life out of you."
"All -right, sir," responded Patsy,
plunging his face still deeper into his
book.
Moore regarded his small tormen-
tor with a look of dismay..
"You Will strain your eyes with
so much stedy, Patsy," he said, warn-
ingly. "That, is what you will do --
and ego- -blind- -and hav-e• tri' be led'
around by a stick, leaning on a small
dog." '
A suppressed giggle from Bessie
drew his attention to his mistake.
"It's the other way roUnd I mean.
Aren't you afraid of the sad fate, my
bucko?"
Patsy shook his head and continued
his energetic investigation of his
arithmetic, while Moore sought coun-
sel from the schoolmistress, who was
keenly enjoying- her admirer's dis-
comfiture. k
"What will I say to the little tinker,
Bessie?" he asked, ruefully.
• "How should- I know, Tom? I am
his teacher and will have to help him
if he wishe4- it." -
"What is it rubles you?" de -
mended Moore looking clown on
Patsy's red hee'd.
"A sum, sir," replied Patsy.
"Show it to me!!
The boy designated an example
with his finger.
"'1! a man sold forty eggs at'one
ha'penny an egg,'" read.Moore from
the book, "'how many eggs—'?"
Shutting up the arithmetic, he put
his hand in his pocket and jingled
its contents merrily.
"Is the answer ;o this problem six-
_
petite?" he asked.
"Oh, no, air," replied Pat in-
genuously.
"What is, then?" demanded Moore,
baffled.
Tshillings,'; announced the
graceless yeath.
"I'll give you one," said Moore,
suggesting' a compromise, but Patsy
was not to be so lowered in' his price,
"Two is the answer," he replied
io a determined tone.
Moore yielded Without further pro-
te.51 and produced the money. -
There you. are, your Murdering
blackmailer," said he. "Now get out
befor 1 warm your jacket."
Patsy seized his books, and, dodg-
ing a cuff aimed at him by his vic-
tim, ran out of the schoolhouse with
a derisive yell.
"Bessie," said Moore, solemnly,
"that little spalpeen will surely come
to • some bad end."
"And be hanged?" asked the girl,'
taking a handful of goose -quills from
her desk preparatory to sharpening
them into pens with an old knife
drawn from the same storehouse.
"Or get married, my sweet girl,
though they say death is better than
torture," replied Moore, approaching
the schoolmistress. "Do you know it
cost me two shillings to get a talk
with you?"
Bessie smiled and finisled a pen
with exquisite care. -
"Talk is cheap," she observed, care-
lessly. •
"Whoever said that never called at
your school, Bessie Dyke," said Moore
perching himself upon her desk. "Turn
your face a bit the other way, if
you please."
As 46 spoke he took the girl's round
chiryrn his hands and moved her head
until only a side view of her pretty
fate el:mid be obtained from his post
of vantage.
"Do you like my profile so much,
Tom ?" she asked, submitting docilely
to his direction. •

Moore, "it's because I 0...te_t stand two

"And where is that?" asked the
girl, a shade of jealousy perteptible
in her inquiry:
"Just around the bend of Your

"Filled with melted moonshine are

from those eyes would make a cock-

"Not I. • You need'nt flatter your-

replied Bessie, paring another quill

abandoned her labors.'
'"Tom Wore," she Said solemnly,
"why will you make such awful

"Practice makes perfect, my dear.

"I wonder if there ever was a good

"Keep on wondering. You look
