Sarah Bernharcit1for-short, as Miss,
ose called the small Polish maiden:
In place of the long string of con-
sonants that was be' real name, stood
looking in the v,tindow Of the \little
candy store next. door' to the Ilesterl
HOW SC11001. As -,she stood there, her
small ragged person pressed close
against the -window, Sarah's anxious
eyes follotved the bird -like `nand of
Mrs. Wiener, the tiny old woman who
kept the store, as it occaSionally
reached into the window from within,
hovering perilously over the object of
the child's solicitude, pre it escaped
with some other object inits grasp.
The treasure in the window, that so
obsessed the ternpestuOus soul of the
POitsh.girl was an egg, an Eas-
ter egg, but not at all like this Ordi-
nary chocolate kind with their nn-
vwrying white and yellow insides.
This was different. The .outside

Michael's yoke rose ..With dramatic
-fervor.
"That's enough, Michael, .said Miss
Rose coldly, "unlese you want ta bring

The young narrator looked uneasily
toward the doors
"Au' den, Miss," he 'went on in a
more repressed style; "I remembered

"I see nothing but dirt," answered

•of a clash with her most difficult pu-

speech -sputtered excitedly through
the placewhere two front teeth should
have been. ' • e
"Oo-h! Mimes Itozyl" she cried.
"Sarah iss gIttinttooked upley th' per -

At the news-, one hundred awestruck
eyes rounded lit o saucers. •
"Yiss um," Sophie continued unctu-
ously, enjoying the sensation she was
awaking. "We truss lookin' in tit'

Six feet of blue uniform looming
behindher caused the cessation , of
Sophie s .narrative. At the, bulky ap-
parition, the fifty Primer Classers
made themselvee as small as Possible,
and even Miss•Rose trembled. Every-
orie recognized the intruder. He waS

corner from the Hester. Ihiw Sehool,
and helped small persons through the
traffic.. The big policeman paused
wkleerardly on the threshold of the
room aed propelled the two effendersi
forward at mighty arma' lengtls.
In that terrifying gasp,., the two
captives were trembling visibly; Sara
wiped furtively at tears that made
pathetic track e down her grimy face
and, beneath -Ms flaming 'hair, Mi-.
chael's yellow freckles stood out in the
unaccustomed pallor of his engaging
countenance. He also bore, several

She pene hintto his seat without
further comment. She also dismissed
Sarah to her place. She needed time
to decide hew best to deal with the
turbulent little girl.
In a few minutes the Primer. Miss
was back to norreal, happily copying
down on a length of wide -ruled paper,
the repeated declaration that "Baby
loves mamma.," or, as the dilligent fat
little fist of the email boy who sat in
front of Sarah rendered it, "Bby Ives
Timm." This little boy; eluting clean,
White -headed, and with round china -
blue eyes, was little Frederick Vogel-
sang. Several years ago, when Herr
Stork had brought little Frederick -Co
his proid parents, he had also been
given a middle name. But shortly
afterwards, Father Vogelsang,:thirdt-
ing it best to 'become areal Canadian,
discarded this middle name of his
son's and altotit the same thne he
turned down the ends of his whiskers
and invested the profits from a flour-
ishing cafe in Victory Bonds. Later,
the cafe was auteeeded by an equally
remunerative eating -house, but Miss
Rose, viewing his offspring's appetite,
sometimes wondered that there -was
anything left for Mr. Vogelsang's pa-
trons.
Except for a propensity to nibble
at the other dutch:en s lunches, the
little German boy was her gest be-
haved and Mast dilligeet pupil. At
about his sixth record of Bby's" de-
votion to "mmm," Miss Rose noticed
Frederick's china -blue eyes raised im-
ploringly to hers. The color flooded
his nice, clean little face.
"What's • the matter, Frederick?
she asked. He pointed to Sarah, eitting
innocently back of him. •
"She iss p-pultins" me where my

tongue naughtily at Frederick and the

Class spent the closing hour in having
