She was a pretty, frail -looking girl, totally unlike the Stately principal, —had been teac1110gonly af WMenthe, and declared, laughing, that it ft !slit- ened her to think of attempting to govern such great fellows as those she saw coming out of the male depart- ment. "How do you like your new quart- ers?" Miss Levering asked. and the re- ply was, "Very well, after I reach them; but it is tiresome enough climb- ing all these stairs; the boys and I are quite out of breath by the time we get up here. And I wandered this morn- ing what I should do if any accident happened, or there was need of hurry- ing my little folks down these four flihts of stone steps." "They - are miserable stairs for a great,, crowded school -building," said - Miss Moore, "so narrow and winding! but thea our excelldnt discipline pre- vents any danger of over -crowding." "Yes; but up here, you see, I cannot hear any of our bells, and sometimes bat is why this noon. own r om y ie is muck finer than yours—come an see," and she led them to the window. They praised the view, but declared it scarcely worth a daily climb of four flights; and, with mutual invitations to return and repeat their call, left her. Snesham walked down street after school with Miss Allen, completely roused from his usual nonchalance. He even forgot to drawl. "I'd shake Jack like a fltof the ague, if I thought I could shake it out of him. The stubborn young rascal will let himself be turned out neck and crop, to shield some scamp not fit to black his boots. Oh, I know John Redmond —he's given his word and thinks he must stick to it till the last dog's hung. Won't even tell me, kis old uncle" -- with an injured air, then with a sud- den change to real boyish feeling,—"I can't help feeling proud of the beggar for standing up to his word, though." "Yes, he has evidently given a pro- mise to be silent. Can't you guess to whom—to Stevens?" "No," said the senior positively; "he told me that much, for I asked him point-blank; but net another syllable could I get out of hies. Shut me up too; turned on me with, 'Will, you wouldn't if you were in my place.' Toldhim if it was to kelp sorne coward- ly,-cortemptibk., pis-fdr-a-cent, mean- er -than -dirt, good-for-nothing any- how"— "Snesham, Snesham, hush 1" "Ape, that I would, too!" continued Snesham, very warm. "No, it isn't Stevens. He's a sneak! Evidently knows, but catch him risking his pre- cious self for anybody else. It's some third party, and my only hope is to find out who that is.' Under Sneshanl'slistless manner and lazy nonsense was a shrewd brain, and those light, heavy -lidded eyes were wonderfully quick -sighted. He proved himself a pretty good detective, and came to Miss Allen Thursday noon highly excited. Seeing by his counte- nance that he hall made a discovery, she sent the lads who were lunching in the class -room to finish their dinners down stairs, and turned eagerly to Will. "Miss Allen, I believe it's Brady!" he declared. "I've leen watching the fel- lows, to see if any of thein acted dif- ferently from their usual way,—a chap carrying such a load on his conscience could hardly be just like himself,—and I began to notice that Brady slid off from Jack's vicinity whenever the lad came near. He's usually into all sorts of (mischief; keeps Gray's hands full half the time, hut has been like a lamb all the'week. This morning I saw him and Stevens talking together very ear- npestly, and as 1 came up Brady made "himdelf scarce Stevens met me brave as brass; said, 'Hello, Snesham 1' "I walked up within six inches of bun, looked him squat ely in the eye, and said, 'Youngster, I am a peace -at - any -rise man on principle, but if you speak to me again till this affair of Jpacky•Redniond's gets a little plainer, I'll take the starch right out of you, rules or no rules !' " "0 Snesham," exclaimed Mise Allen, as much excited as be, "do tell your suspicions at once to Mr Haverill. Snesham looked rather awed. "I'm afraid the general—beg pardon, r Haverill -would think Ninety's discipline everlastingly upset if I went to him with suspicions about his busi- ness. It would be better for you or Mr Nellis." Miss Allen saw the force of this, and went at once te Mr Nellis—as warm a friend to poor Jack almost as she her- self was,—and be, nothing loth, to the principal. Mr Haverill inquired rather sharply his reasons for suspecting Brady. Mr Nellis spoke of Stevens' consultation with Brady, and the tat- ter's evident avoidance of Redmond. Mr Haverill replied briefly that the boy's fate lay in his own hands; if he still continued his defiant obstinacy, it seemed hardly worth while to make any effort on his behalf; but finally, anxious himself to penetrate the mys- tery consented, to examine Brady. Before those awful glasses Brady broke completely down, and told the Jack rose, and with a Blow step --•bow unlike hie usual arm tread) --went to 'hie class -room. "Mr Haverill has sent me to the Eighth," he told, Mies Allen; and, an- swering quietly that he was well, for she was startled by hie looks, he gath- ered his boots together. "Comp;, tie me at :noon, Redmond," i&a�1� id teacher, anxious to know what had happened. Sheknew before noon, however; Wilson had been late also, and at the morning recess, poured forth excitedly the whole scene in the play -room. Oh, the unhappy boy!" thought Jrliss Allen, and went to Mr Haverill, who continued the recital through the conversation we have given, winding up with, "That is the most passionate, obstinate fellow I ever saw. la all my experience I have never been more perplexed than by his action in this shatter. Mr Haverill • questioned Snesham as to his knowledge bof the een hurriedly ir,pase Snesham, had jus ing'through the play -room on some errand for Mr Nellis, and knew even less than Mr Haverill. - - "I am only certain, sir," he said, determined to defend his friend as far as possible, "that there must have been something besides what passed in the play -room to rouse Jack like that. lie had been trying hard to control himself for a long time, and I am sure so slight a thing would never have up- set him." "Your friend's temper is veryon- certain at any time," dryly remarked the principal, and he dismissed the eenior,who was as much perplexed and a'good deal more worried than was Mr Haverill himself. At noon came .Tack, so utterly down- cast that Miss Allen cculd have cried. "It is all bad enough," he said sadly, "but the worst is—Will. I shall never forget how he looked leaning against the wall, so white, and with that gash in his and to know I had catching one ihis t. MissthaAl-- len, do you remember what you told me about Alexander? If anything had happened to Will, I'd never have been satisfied to have them only hang me. "I don't care what Mr Haverill does —sends me to the primary—whips me expels me—there isn't anything too bad for a fellow who has done what I )have—after all Will's kindness. "I:didn't mean to bit him,Itolbe sure, but thitt wouldn't have brought him to life again, if 1 had killed him, or given back his sight, if the slate had struck his eye. I knew I had a hot tem er, but always. thought I could hold it under easy enough if I cared to; and taow to feel that after all my trying it gets away with me—makes me doga thing like that—" Here a prelininary tap admitted Snesham, well -decorated with court - plaster. "I can, only stop a moment, but wanted t.o see this individual."' Jack's head went down on his desk at sight of his friend, but Will appro= �1rioted half his seat, and the blond Bead went down by the side of the brown one. "Look here, old man, don't you sup- pose I know you'd give one of those big brown eyes if you could rub this little cut out? and do you suppose I care/two' cents for -such a scratch as that? Hush up, now!"—Jack uttered *some inarticulate word—"if you don't stop thinking about it, I'll take you out into the anttuoathe firr thppor- tunity, and givey sh- ing than you gave Stevens." "I wish withmy heart you would," groaned Jack. The senior rose; and stood as if con- ne 'baud n0 i;llhrestine tg ter, affectionately but with con Jack's head. "I don't really believe I' can take time this noon," he remarked reflectively, "but guess I'll find a chmsc e, to oblige you some day," and. wibtt`a'frlendlyitweak of Redmond's ear, be was gone. Miss;Allen spoke encouragingly 'to the boy—called to his remembrance how well he had controlled himself fdr weeks—and urged him to hold fast. "It is a hard struggle, but you will conquer, Jack, never fear. Great things are 'promised to them that en- dure." He listened patiently but not hope- fully. "I mean it shall be the lst _I'll answered try hard for it, anyway," gravely. "I know nowust how I've got -to watch myself all the while, and never let go. But my chance for pro- motion and college are all gone." ��VVhhy_no, Jack; you have only to tel Haverill what he asks," "Miss Allen, I'd have to break a premise if I did, and I've never done that yet," be added proudly. "Is it a promise made to a friend, Redmond?" "No, indeed," with some of the old scorn, "I don't have such friends! but a promise is a promise; friend or enemy—its all the same." "He cannot be wicked enough to re- main silent then; but if he doesn't speak, John, you certainly ought to." "I can't, Miss Allen," and here he remained firm; no persuasion of hers scould move him. Snesbam, on leaving their room, had not latched the door. It swung opened and disclosed the fact that the door which opened upon the eastern stairway was also unpicked. Miss Ai - len was surprised to'' see a number of little boys, evidently from the primary department, coming down from the floor above. The flfth floor contained only hook and storerooms; but when she called Jack's attention to the fact, he re- membered that carpenters were at work making changes in several of the primary class -rooms; and that he had heard the janitor say they would have to get one of the hook - rooms ready for a class, as t here were twu grades in the lower assembly - room already. When itedinond had gone away, a little cotnfurled and less d.•spair•ing, Miss Allen ,joined her fel- low-` enehers. "Let us go up and call on Miss Hav- erill," proposed Miss Levering.

I could actually feel hire grow smaller; know his clothes are loose for hire to -night, and shouldnt wonder if it took a microscope to nd him by morning. And," with a twinkle, "we shan't be able to find Stevens with two microscopes." "What did he say to Stevens?" "Only that he had no words to ex- press his opinion of him. Told him he could take his choice: either make np his mind to tell the whole story, and apologize to Jack before the depart- ment, or leave school at once without being publicly expelled." "And he decided"— "To leave," said Snesham. "Hurrah! But I forgot. We of the First are pledged to silence for the present. and Mr Haverill would like to see you a few moments," Mr Haverill, in fewer words, told the same story, adding, at its close, "I shall say nothing to Redmond to -day" —it was now afternoon recess. "He needs the punishment of the lower grade for his passion; he is still defying my authority, and though I look upon his action in a different light, for I re- cognize the fact that it proceeds from a mistaken sense of honor, yet I am anxious to see if he will persist in his silence to the last moment." Poor Jack ! Sitting so discouraged and disheartened in Mies Moore's room, coming with a pitiful determination day after day, certain that the result would be expulsion, yet feeling he ought to bear it all as an expiation for what he had done. I thought then, I think still, it was hard to leave you so; but Jack's time was coming fast. Friday morning Mr Haverill sudden- ly entered Miss Allen's classroom, with his hands full of papers. The boys' hearts stood still; a fateful day had ar- rived for the Seventh. The examina- tions were about to begin. "Are all your class present?" he in- quired; and she answered that they were, with the exception of Redmond. "Send for him," was the brief rejoin- der; add John soon came. Mr Haverill looked at him closely as he entered; then went up and put his hand on the lad's shoulder. "Have you still nothing to say to me, Redmond?" he asked, kindly. Very quietly, as if there was nothing else possible to do, Jack replied in a firm tone, lifting his sad eyes to the principal's"'face: "No, sir." A short pause follcwed. "Take you place, and let me see what kind of work you can do," said the principal. A faint hope came into into Jack's face, but dismay soon succeeded. "Mr Haverill, ' he said, "I've lost a week's review with myclass." "Whose fault is that, •Redmond?" demanded Mr Haverill. Jack dropped his head without response. After placing some problems oil the blackboard, the principal strolled through the x oom, watching the work go on at different desks, but glancing oftencst.' at' the brown head on Mies Allen's right. He stopped finally to look out of one of the rear windows. Miss Allen thought he started slightly, and then seemed to look intently down for a few moments; but presently turn- ing walked leisurely bask to her table, she thought, with a slight change of countenance. Saying, "Let them go on with this work for the present," a excused him- self and left the room. Miss Allen then became conscious that there was considerable noise go- ing on outside, and almost thought she heard cries; but they were too far up to hear distinctly, with closed win- dows, nor did she like to go hack to look out, for fear of disturbing her class. Moat of the boys were nearly through their work by this time; some had finished, were getting impatient, and beginning to notice the noise out- side. Just then the vice-principal en- tered. 'Lads of the Seventh, lay aside your work for the present; take your hats and lunches. You are to be dismissed now until afternoon. All go quickl and quietly out of the yard and home." As it was only a little past eleven, the class heard this order in surprise, but began promptly obeying it. As the vice-principal turned to go, he said to Mise Allen, in a low whisper, un- heeded in the slight bustle of prepara- tion, except by the lad on her right: "The building on our rear is on fire. • TO DE CONTINDED.
