JACK MASTERED BY HIS TEMPER.
CHAPTER H.
(00NTINuET3)
The gratified look teacher and pupils
had been wearing since Mr Neltis's ap-
proval left their faces very suddenly.
Mr Haverill began again, less angrily,
and with more of his usual manner.
"Boys of the Seventh, I am proud of
You. Your drill is excellent and class
discipline among the best in the de-
partment. Take your books and
slates."
Wondering much, but .reassured,
the boys obeyed. Mr Haverill turned
to their teacher.
"Miss Allen, your class, since they
can behave like gentlemen, are to ex-
change rooms with the Sixth, who
have repeatedly shown that they can-
not. The lady in charge of the room
beneath them informs me that she
frequently finds it impossible to hear
recitations, because of the noise they
make."
How the faces before him brighten-
ed! Number Six was a much pleasant-
er room—and then the honor of it.
"r/rward, Seventh!" and as the line
hal ed till the other class room should
be emptied, Miss Allen glanced proud-
ly at them. What a fine looking row
of lads they were, standing motion-
less and erect, as the Sixth, sullen,
alouching, kept. in order only by the
stern eye of their principal, filed out
of their pleasant room, of which the
Seventh at once took possession.
Yes, the Seventh were orderly and
well -disciplined then; anything but
orderly and well -disciplined when Miss
Allen first took charge of them. Back
into their ranks came twenty of Mrs
May's tormentors, returned for per-
sistent misconduct; demoralized by
bad management, angry at. their dis-
grace.
The conflict was a severe one. Night
after night, Miss Allen went home
smarty discouraged; morning after
morning, silo faced them resolutely as
ever.
Mr Haverill stood stanchly by her,
and presently the conflict ceased. The
lads found they must respect their
teacher, and soon grew fond of her.
They also began to have a pride in
their class. It became worth some-
thing to be 0, member of Ninety's Sev-
enth.
Redmond WINS one cf the member s
sent back. At first hemrpuzzled Miss
Allen; he puzzled her yet at times, but
not in the same way. In his country
home, the complaints of teachers had
been so numerous and continued, that
his father, almost discouraged, was
boarding him in the city, in order to
place him under the stricter discipline
ef its public schools.
In the Sixth grade there had been
no improvement. Mrs May declared
him the worst of all; he was not im-
pertinaent in speech or manner, but
would calmly set her authority at de -
/lance in the most matter-of-fact way
imaginable. When he entered the
Seventh Mise Allen noticed that he
watched her with a strange intent-
ness—she had an odd feeling of being
weighed in the balance.
One day he was detained, with oth-
ers, to dosome extra work after echool,
because of disorder; and when it was
finished, said to her briefly, as he left
the room, ',You'll have no more trouble
from me, Miss Allen."
He kept his word; from that time,
the class honor had no more stanch
.defender than John Redmond.
She learned that his temper was a
fierce one when roused.
"Redmond never swears nor says
much," Eagleson told her confidential-
ly; "but when his eyes grow black and
his cheeks red, myl you just want to
stand frern under."
Eagleson knew whereof he spoke by
sad experience; several others had
• had a snnilar one. She noticed that
the boys stood rather in awe of him.
"Your handsome file -leader is quite
a pugilist," Mr Haverill observed to
her one day. "Here's Stearns of the
Sixth with two black eyes. and Wheel-
er of the Eighth with a lame arm, at
home, from prowess. They will pro-
bably not call him 'Country Jake, or
spring on him without warning for
some time to come. It has all happen-
ed out of school limits, and I am glad
of it. I am not called 'upon to inter-
fere. I don't blame the boy for de-
fendin$ himself, but he has a temper
that will bring him trouble yet. -
For some time, however, all had
gone well. There were no complaints;
Jack's grades were high. Mr Haverill
watched him closely, meaning to be
just; but so far he had been unable to
overcome his prejudice and suspicious.
Snesham's friendship was -a great
help to jack. Though he belonged to
the First class, and Redmond to the
Seventh, they were ( hums.
"We need each other," Snesham
said. "Jack's fire, I'm ice; he warms
me up, I cool him down; be is young,
I'm old; I like to give advice, he never
takes any. We agree perfectly."
The change of rooms created cnnsid-
able feeling. between the two grades.
Next Morning, Mr Nellis's,presence in
the play -room subdued its expression;
but at recess, with only the monitors
present, trouble began. A good deal
of quarreling, which resulted several
-times in blows, took place—ti rare
ware7t, totvhateful, they—the
80.4enthe,--ebultItett.etatud
"Suppose they Wete %rope, lied you

a lower gtade,you wouldprelaably have
been Ihatefel too, Becauee yen have

The e bays looked rather . ashamed.
Redmond muttered something about
"h000r of the Seventh" and "brouget
It on tiaemselves."
"How much better didyou act, John
when 'you were in the Sixth? And the
Seventh's honor will be best sustained
by the good order and manly behavior
of its members. Outsiders cannot af-
fect it in any way,"
Mr Haverill, fortunately for the Sev-
enth, being absent on school business
that morning', Mr Nellie came to their
room to see about the disturbance.
There was no question about the
school's feeling for Mr Nellie. Ile was
a favorite from the first assistant to
the youngest boy. As a good disci-
plinarian as his superior, he had a
much warmer heart than Mr Haverill.
His investigation proved that, in
most cases, the other class, had been
the aggressors. But the Seventh were
reproved in much the same terms Miss
Allen had used.
"You have an exsellent reputation
as a class,boys; dont gratify these oth-
ers by losing it insdisagreeable squab-
bles with them. You must expect
they'll be unhappy over the loss of
their room to a younger grade. By
the way, file -leader," turning to Red-
mond, 'you were fighting with Jim-
mie Strong. Forshame, sir! he's much
smaller than you."
Redmond's whole face glowed, and
his eyes grew almost black.
"No, sill I did not fight Strong—
he's altogether too little.'
"But you had some trouble with
him. The monitor reports you both
engaged in a fnss."
did not fight, Mr Nellie. Strong
got too provoking to hear, so I just
laid him down and. sat on him."
Mr Nellis's mouth twitched. "Be
man enough to let him alone, Red-
mond," he said gravely, and he left the
room with "see that it does not hap-,
pen again, boys.
There was some smiling when writ-
ing hour came,- and Miss Allen read more than his share of good looks, his
• s own teacher and the rest of you are
likely to spoil him."
"Fifth needed a little setting down.
And Redmond has something in him
beside good looks," saii:13Mr Nellis posi-
tively. "He is bound to make his
mark some day."
"It will be a crooked one, I fear,"
still sharply. "I never knew one of
these very handsome lads to be worth
his salt. in my experience."
Downstairs a group of boys were
standing near the gate, waiting for
friends and exchanging parting chaff.
readtly keep from getting, angry?
"I dont think I try at all, he
swereti laughiog; but it certainly_
eeine to me a person can make him-
self do anything he chooses without
much effort,
"0 Jack! Tell me which was easier,
when Eagleson called you names last
month, to walk away quietly, or give
him the thrashing you did?"
Redmond gave laer a conscious look
without replying, and sliding from, his
seat, went to the window, where he
stood, igith elbows upon the sill, gaz.
Lng down into the street.
Mise Allen paused.
"lionestly now, Jack, would it not
have been harder to let Eagleson alone
and take no notice of him?"
"Five hundred per cent. harder"
said Jack with emphasis, and fell to
whistling vigorously; but remember-
ing where he was, begged pardon and
stopped.
During the drill before dismissal
that afternoon, the Fifth grade, more
careless than usual, and more strag-
gling in their march, were sent back
several times to their class -room.
Finally, Mr Nellie, losing patience,
called to Jack, standing at the head of
his own line:
"Here, Redmond, come and show
the Fifth how to march."
The boy obeyed, andled them with
his customary erect carriage and firm
step, while Ftfth, surprised and morti-
fled, fell into their usual order, and
performed the evolution that time
without mistake.
While passing down the outer aisle,
Mr Haverill came from a class -room
directly rn front of them. The gray
and the brown eyes met with a light-
ning flash, but Jack stopped short at
Mr Haverill s stern, "Halt!"
"What are you doing here, Red-
mond, of the Seventh?"
"Mr Nellis directed me to lead the
class," answered the boy shortly,
"Fifth seemed to have forgotten how
to march," explained the drill -master.
"Pass on, Fifth!" after a pause from
Mr Haverill; but when the room was
emptied, he spoke rather sharply to
his assistant:
"Don't call upon that file -leader of
the Seventh to do anything of this
sort again. The boy's manner is in-
sufferable already with its boldness
and conceit. Because he has rather
the copy aloud, with emphasis,
that ruleth his spirit is better than he
that taketh a city." She saw Red-
mond shake his head slightly as he
studied it over. Yet if anyone ever
needed to take that lesson to heart, it
was Master Jack.
Returninm her lunch, an hour
later, Miss Alen.Alfound Savage lying
in the easiest position he could get
across a seat, holding forth to half -a -
dozen others on the need of self-con-
trol.
"If it's as. easy to govern ourselves
as Jack says, some of you fellows had Out of the main entrance came a half -
better get at it right away. Here's wittted lad, carrying a little basket
Wilson—he uts of starting mornings— filled with nencila. pins and small
always thinks he has plenty of time—
what's that long word Mr Haverill
called it?"
'Procrastination," suggested some
one.
"Oh, yes. He'll have to overcome
his pro-cras-ti-nu-tion; Eagleson, his
greediness; Hunt, his chattering; Jack
Redmond, his temper"—
"And Fred Savage, bis laziness," in-
terrupted Redmond, whereat there was
a general laugh.
"Well, I can just tell you boys." said
Sayage, straightening up dolefully, "if
it is as hard for the rest of you to get
over your bad habits as it is for me to
qnit being lhzy, you'll find taking a
city is nowhere. Oh, you just don't
know what an awful pull it is to crawl
out of bed these cold mornings at sev-
en—and do it eight days in the week,
three hundred and sixty-five days in
the year?"—
Here a derisive chorus checked him,
with demands to recite the time -table,
and queries as to whether he wasn't
weak on the weeks.
"Guess you'd think there were eight
days, and enery day had two morn-
ings, if getting up came as hard to you
as it does to me!" groaned Savage,
drawing on his mittens with great ef-
fort, and being gaily helped out of the
room by an officious friend on either
side.
"And so, Redmond," Miss Allen
asked her file -leader, who, mounted
on a. desk, sat idly swinging one foot,
"you find the proverb hard to be-
lieve?"
"Rather," rousing himself to a more
respectful position. "Taking a city is
serious business,' you know; there is
your great army to manage, and all
your enemies to look after. In the
other case, there is only yourself to
control; you can do that easily."
"Can yoo, indeed? Then why doesn't
old Tom Norris quit drinking whiskey?
He says he has tried often.'
"He? He's too weak a specimen to
do anything!' scornfully. Jack had a
strong boy's impatience with weak-
ness.
'Alexander the Great—one of your
heroes, John—killed his best friend in
a fit of drunken temper, and died from
dissipation when only thirty-three.
Was he a weak specimen, according to
your idea?"
"I don't understand that," he an -
ladies.
"YoliC! no right to bold we! Let
Ine,goi He began itl" tittered Jack, in
it voice hoar-wit*rage, as Stevens,
sullen and threatening, turned away;
but Snesnam, a man grown in size,
held him till Jack pooled down a little
under his friend's steady gaze. Then
the Senior walked on with bis silent
and still wrathful companion Ain they
reached Itechnond's beat ding -place,
when Sneshista stopped and pia both
hands on the boy's shoulders
"Jonathan, my son," he said very
soberly, "you'll have to bottle your-
self up a little, or you'll do more dam-
age than you think some day. That
was a wicked blow you struck Stev-
ens at first. I took your part in the
affair, of course, but I hated to see you
go at him like that."
"He struck me first, for what was
no fault of mine," retorted Redmond,
breathing hard, "and insulted me,"
with eyes blazing again.
"Look here, my boy," replied his
friend. "Trying to pay back such in-
sults usually only makes a had matter
worse. Remember, bad words break
no bones, though they never help
matters much; but you can do some-
thing io five minutes that may take
your whole life to be sorry for. Good-
night, John! You'd better do consid-
erable thinking, and maybe something
else, before you go to bed."
After his anger and excitement were
quieted, there came rushing back to
Jack's mind a remembrance of the
proverb. He had thought of it a good
deal during the afternoon, resolving,
after his conversation with Miss Allen,
that he would show his classmates and
her how readily he could exercise self-
control, if he chose to make the effort,
and already a severe lesson, as to his
ability, had been taught him.
It startled him too, to remember
the feelilag that surged up within him
at Stevens'first blow. Blind as his
rage *as, he felt there had been mur-
der in it. "Alexander the Great killed
his friend in a fit of drunken tempet,"
he repeated slowly, trying to realize
what that statement meant.
Jack was honest enough to face the
truth, and /or the first time in his life
grew little afraid of himself.
TO DE CONTINUED.
wares, whict teachers and scholars
oftenlbought from him out of pity.
Brady, with the thoughtless cruelty
so common in boys, threw a snowball
at him, and hit him on the' cheek. The
poor fellow lifted his hand to his face
with a dazed look, and turned to hast-
en away. Brady caught up another
handful, gleefully crying, "See me hit
his basket!" when a well -aimed ball
struck his own hands, and dashed the
snow from them.
"Who did that?" he demanded an-
grily, wheeling around.
"I," said Redmond, returning his
hands to his pockets, and leaning back
against. the railing. "That was pretty
small business."
"It wasn't any et yours, and nobody
asked your opinion, Seventh!" stormed
the other.
"You can have it without asking,"
returned Jack coolly. "It takes the
smallest kind of a coward to strike
anybody who can't strike back."
Brady walked toward him threat-
eningly; but though Jack did not move
or even take his hands out of his
pocTsets, the other seemed suddenly to
change his mind, and strolled off,
whistling, to join some classmates.
He probably remembered the rules
against snowballing near the school.
Savage now joined Redmond, and
they went on down street, the former
doing most of the talking- Its own-
er's laziness did not affect Savage's
'tongue, which wagged merrily on ev-
ery occasion.
"You are bound to make the Fifth
at the examination, Jack," he was
saying. "Wish I had worked up, and
tried for it too; but, then, you tall,
quick fellows don't know how hard it
is for us short, slow chaps to hustle
round."
"Presently they reached a corner
where severalof the Fifth class were
standing, evidently in consultation.
Their flle-leader, Stevens, left the
group, and came toward Jack.
"Here you, Seventh, I've got some-
thing to say to you."
Redmond faced, him shortly. "Gb
ahead, I'm listening."
"Feel smar t, don't you?" sneeringly.
"Good hoy! Put in front of your bet-
ters to show off."
A dangerous glitter came into Red-
naond's eyes.
"Did as I wth; ordered," he said brief-
ly. "I wasn't particularly proud to

ing on the spot, interfered, shouting
"fair play."
