When Geraldine had come into hlS office at the end of the first quarter it was the first intimation that he had received of her presence in the city. She said she had come to make a pay- ment. and while she spoke poor Jupi- ter was turning all sorts of ruddy colors. _ ,_ L-_‘ bUlUl.3. “But I hadn’t heard you were here, Geraldine," he said. “I have been thlnkmg of you, too, and wondering if [ should hear from you. Of course, I knew I should. But somehow I cannot get you out of my head, girl." This was punctuated with one of the old- time thunderbolts. “Fact is, Geral- ' ' st found out why I hard when in school. And it was simply thisâ€"I loved you!

Jupiter Jenkins had ended his work as schoolmaster in the little seaport town. He had been studying law, and was now employing the same forensic tal- ents he had used before his schoolroom in a more lucrative if not a higher court. He was “up in the city,” and was making a name: . Geraldine entered the normal school and passed her preliminary examina- tions with extraordinary success. She was one of the three highest out of a large. class. The veteran principal of the school knew human nature at a glance. He wrote to Jupiter a letter Which confirmed all that worthy had said about the wild, nomadic Geral- dine. Mrs. Coffin thought it over for a few days. and then came to the conclusion that Mr. Jenkins was right. That was the usual conclusion about Mr. Jenkins in the little village. The idea was placed before Geraldine. and when she heard of J upiter’s proposal she smiled a smile that made her mother look at her twice. But Geraldine had the key to certain kinds of human nature which was far beyond her years. She thought she would like to go, and it was a great joy whenshe came to Jupiter’s throne. and in her sweetest and calmest man- ner thanked him for his kindness, and said she would do her best to deserve it. That was the happiest day that Jupiter hadever hadin the school. He did 'not quite understand it, but there was a singing in his heart as homelike as the singing of a tea kettle and as soft as acat’s purr. Geraldine took new interest in school. She tried no more of. her subtle ways to disturb .Jupiter, and the boys found a, change in her, which at once set their former interest at naught. “She ain't no more fin,” they all agreed, and they troubled her no more. who hqd not. and ANTIPOUEAN Q TR UTHTELL ER.
