to assist and she mast give it all up when she needed it so she oet her lips firmly bhe mast keep her position and couldnt afford to be talked about ii made no difference if neither had ever had a thought beyond the lesbons and no matter how hard it was to give thorn up its always well to stop befoff one gets fo of anythin she reaso ill give it all op and never speak to him again she had no idea bow she jbad depended on the lesson s until there were no mbreto which to look forward well talk it over at the psychology lesson bad grown to be her habit of meeting school room pozzies and now that there was to be no such way of solving ibem ibere were more puje3jles 10 meet- the following day was a hard one her own sad and distraught manner was not without its effect upon the obihren a full half hour of tbe noon reoeas the sohool spent as prisoners because it was found that some one bad broken off the knob of tho door and it oould only be opened from the outside and they were compelled to wait until asms one passing released them four omook brought we loo mo relief its the embarrassment of wrltiog to the minifltor that ails me she told berlf if i got that off my mind i 1 be all right and forget all about it and diligently she set to work bat eaah attempt was more unsatisfactory than the last the old folks bad retired and the oloor strook 8 so just as she signed and sealed the letter and then suddenly she remembered that the sohool report must be made to the osmmlsaloner on the morrow and the roll books were at sohool ill have to get them tonight she said to herself late as it is serves me right for being so careless going to the kitchen shed she took down tho lantern only to find it empty supply ing herself with matches she peered cautiously out upon the moonlit road and then ran awiftly the short dlstinoe to tbe bohoolhouat not seeiog the gathering clouds behind her by the light of tbe moon she unlocked tha outer door and in order not to repeat tbe experience of the morning she took up a block of wood and carefully placed it in front of the inner door to keep it from shutting the dingy lamp above her desk gave soanty light and the tiek lengthened itetlf oat ontil a muttering of thunder and dash of rain upon tha roof startled her olive was not timid as her trip to an empty sohool bouse in the dark would prove but to be sbne in a thunderstorm was the one thing tbat underved her hastily rising she looked up at the lamp it was nearly empty it would be safe to leave il to burn oat of itself and she oould more osflily find her way to tbe door but as she reached it she oame into violent collision with tbe minister he bad corns in hurriedly tripped upon the block in the doorway kicking it out of tbe way and tbe door rlammed shut behind him olive stepped back end itood trembllog bbe was astonished glad and sorry at bis appearance but more than all was she dismayed at tbe predicament in whtoh he had pltoed her and under the impnlte of these conflicting emotions she burst forth angrily there now youve shut the door what brought you here anyway i said i would never speak t you again the mlnjster ttred at her in amass ment i waa passing he espial nejdlaome what stiffly and tookrefageon the stoop from the rain finding the door ajir i oame io i did not dream that any one was hers i oan go at once of ooarse bat ho tarned only to stand belplise before tho broken knob at ouoe he under stood the situation an exclamation of imps tie no esoaped him and he crossed the room hastily and threw open wladow and heavy outside shatters while olive sat limply down and watched him the limp flloksred out bat every few eeoonds he waa visible io the lightning flashes standing np brave and strong aud un- affrigbted tho git id strength was fast leaving her aud when a lurid flabb duueed upon the floor and phyed mischievously about among the ben oho a be gave a ory of terror tbe minister hastily dosed tbo window and groped toward her is anything the matter he inquired anxloarly nothing only im afraid so afraid of the storm she moaned his heart went oat in pity for her in her weakness and sitting down ho put his arm proteotjngly about her as one would soothe a frightened oliild and said tender ly poor littli oue and olive ai orash after crash terrorized her olung to him and hid her bead on bin shoulder and sobbed and shivered and so they bat nntil tbe storm had spent itsel aud the moot bhoue again tkep she fat up abashr4 and prim i dont know how wo are to git oat sho said hopelessly how about tbe windows he lnqalred all too high and tbe cellar i opens only oat of doore theres nothing to do bat wait till some one pasies and call out we tried every way today and then she to i hm bet pfevioae experience he argse and paoed qneajily abflut the room looking out qnon the road olive closed ber eyeg and thought over the events of the inst three bouts she was perfectly eonsoioas tbat she ought to be ashamed of ber conduct daring the storm yet some how she was not aud try as ehe wonll bhe could net be rtberwiso than glad that he was with her her rtvene was broken in upon by the minister he boated himself again at herejdo saying forlornly we are likely to he kept here for some ume perhaps tilt morning i am more sorry than i can tell you yen bbe re lied i know it cant be helped i wish yoa would till me lie went on what you meant by your words when i came in like an ice wind pierolug even to her heart came the recolleotion of her yqv there waa no reply perhaps it isnt tbo proper time to aak it bqt i tbnk you owe me an explana tion olive remembered tbe written pageu addressed to him at home she cooll have johnnys compositions sent him mo explication bnt it see mod well to get ft over with at once we have been gossiped about ehe said dally and i made op my mind that id give up church and lessonb and everything rather than be talked about and you wanted to give up pysohol- ogy he asked no i did not bnt i thought it beat i understand bow it is he replied slowly i am fond of tbe lessons too and yet ive heard the gossip and ive made up my mind that id better give them up her face flashed and paled and she sat up straigbtsr and primmer than ever roen tally rejoicing that sho had suggested it first unless be continued low bat distinct ly we care enough for each other to study together all onr lives tbe sentence ended so unexpectedly tbat she caught her breath in a half bob and buried her faoe in her folded arms on tho desk in front ha leaned over herand- tenderly h coked her soft hair i shouldnt have spoken of it towht little one but it spoke itseu and yon think yoa cooll tell me he pleaded eagerly yes i think i aooli oarao tbe low reply for yon dont know now dreadful i felt when i thought i mast give np the psychology the sound of wheels suddenly awakened them to a realization of tbe present the minister baatened to call to tbe driver who speedily released him langhiog heartily over the scrape then the two men went off together leaving olive with beating heart wedged in behind the door when the farmer drove down the road the minister returned for olive 4 im so glad he didnt see me ehe said bat yoa mast promise that youll never tell and the miniatar promised chicago jieios just for fun tbey were telling how they had killed partridges eaph vicing with the other when an old
