school.
But "Scorch" did arrive. So did the
other nifty-eight young hopefuls, who
sat with eyes riveted on their teanhor's
taco, waiting for the first move. Miss
Halo believed in absolute sympathy
between teacher and pupil; conse-
quently she delivered a. charming ad-
dress on the values of co-operstion and
mutual assistance.

matter from practice. At the end of an

Only one center of disturbance re-

under Miss Hale's nose. He had evi-

interfere with his enjoyment of chew-
ing his wax crayons. \I

This was more than he had bar—

had enough school for that day.
Watching his opportunity, he made a

to grab his shirthust as he reached.

Thus the morning passed, and No.

have looked into the wardrobe at that
minute she would probably have been

After a moment of thought Miss Hale

Hale felt certain that she was to be
the recipient of this valentine, since he
refused absolutely to let her help him.
"Scorch's" valentine was at last no-

his geography when suddenly “Smoo-

“Scorch" sauntered out of the room
again. but his big brother, Santi, who
had heard “Seorch's” request, followed
him down the stairs into the yard.
"Say, kid," he said, slapping
“Scorch" on the shoulder, “did I hear
you say you wanted some ready cash?
Well, follow me1 and you’ll soon be
rollin‘ in wealth."
The valentine box was a huge suc-
cess, and Miss Hale's share was even
greater than she had anticipated.
But what had happened to
”Scorch?" For the first time since Miss
Hale had been there his seat was
empty. Usually the rest of the class
knew what kept one of their number
from school. None of them had seen
him that morning, however, and his
teacher concluded that he was sick. '
When he did not show upon the third
day, she became anxious about him.
“Does anyone know where Patrakia
lives?" she questioned the class.
Nearly everybody know, and Sam
Krachovik was chosen to go to
“Scorch's” home to inquire about his
absence. The news which he brought
buck was. not enlightening.
"His ma, she says ‘Scorch' ain’t been
