This subject has repeatedly been brought to tlie n.t« at ion of the Legislature by tin- hief Kxccuttvc of the State, but lor cause* not necessary to consider at this time, they have not heretofore received Legislative approval —not receiving the sanction of a two-thirds vote of both house-, but I have been led to believe that men of all parties at this session will he willing to make this change in the or ganic law of the State. When we consider the inut'iiitude of our Mat* debt —-marly (•s.‘».0 States now hold biennia! session of their legislature, viz.. Mahumu. \rkan*a«. California. Colorado. Delaware. Georgia. Illinois. Indiana, Iowa. Kansas. Kentucky. Mary land. Michigan. Min nesota. Mississippi. Missouri. Nebraska. Nevada, New Hampshire. North Caro lina. i Hiio. i tregon. Pennsylvania. Tennessee. Texas. Vermont. Virginia and West Virginia. —and that only 10 States now hold annual sessions, viz.: Connecticut. Florida. Louisi ana. Maine. Massachusetts, New Jersey. New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Wisconsin. It will he seen that about three fourths of all the State* of the I'nion hold a session of their Legislatures hut once in two years: and hut about one-fourth hold sessions every year: and of those ten States that hold annual sessions, hut three of them. Maine. Massachusetts and Klmde Islam) elect their Governors annually. The Governors of all the other thirty-five States hold a term of office from two to four years. 'The States whose Governors hold two years are sixteen, being Alabama. Arkansas, Connecticut, Col orado. Iowa. Kansas. Michigan. Minnesota. Nebraska, New Hampshire. Ohio. South Car olina, Tennessee. Texas and Vermont. Tie States whose Governors hold during a term of three year* are three in number, being New Jersey. New* York am! lVtin-vIvania. Those Governor' who lmld a term of 4 year are in number, being in the State* of Cal ifornia. I'elav. ire. Florida. Georgia. Illinois. Indiana, Kentucky. Loui-inoii. Maryland. MUsi-sippi. Missouri. Nevada. North Caro lina. Oregon. Virginia ami We-t Virginia. I find also that of the State- now hold their State election- on the tir-t Tuesday af ter the first Monday in November, which is tin time of holding the Presidential election, and being the time which the resolutions un der consideration fix for biennial election* in our State -hoiild these re: olution- he approv ed by two-thirds of both brunt h uncaih d for and detrimental to the best interest* of their states and people. 1 do not believe that any interest of our State would sutler, cither ag ricultural. commercial, mercantile or manu taeturing. if we should not hold a session for three year*. In giving a hasty glance at tlu* nets and resolves passed last year. 1 find them nearly all unimportant. At least, three quar ter* of them were acts “to amend." “addi tional to." “to repeal." “explanatory of." t “defining or simplifying former acts." Mo«t of the other quarter were about “birds of all kinds and game" dogs, eels, deer, moose, trout, bass, perch, smelts, tramps, pickerel, partridges, sturgeon and porgies: almost every creature upon the earth, and under the i earth were legislated upon. I think we leg islate too much, and it comes front the fact that we hold a session too often. Men are I sent here and are expected to do something, i and they hatch up nil kinds of things that bet ter be left alone. The annual expenses of legislation directly In money from the Treasury, and in labor and time incident to annual elections, arc enor mously high, 'l'lte appropriations for the run ning expenses of the last session (ItWi were us follows I*av ot* the House of Bepresen tatives.

House, and ouneil. and for Postage and Vdvertising. 4:*«L7 Kepairs and additional Clerk Hire incident to a session, estimated at .*».*mmi.o contracted this year. It will he seen by this statement that the expenditure* for the fiscal year just past were about 83oo,noo in excess of the receipts for 1 said year, a state of things very embarrassing j to the new administration just inaugurated. Hut this is not the worst feature of our in debtedness. I find. ui*oii inquiry, that the entire Trust Fund of the 5tutu ex cept the Agricultural College fund, amounting to 811*.3on has all gone into the general treasury and been expended years ago. I And although our bonded debt (less the Sink- ing fund of 81.032.'337*.47* i is but 84,*17.304.- 7*7*. yet. when we add to this bonded debt the Trust funds, we shall find our actual debt ag gregating wry nearly 87jmni.imn>. These Trust funds embrace the Permanent School fund, funds arising from lands reserved for public uses. Penobscot Indian fund. Paxsa maquoddy Indian fund, and various other i funds which may he seen upon the 13th page of the Treasurer’s report. These Trust funds should have been regarded as a sacred trust. Wc had no right to squander them; but they j arc gone, and all we can do now is. to tax the i people to pay interest upon them as it he- j comes due. Nothing is clearer than the tact that our ex penditures must he largely retrenched, or the State tax largely increased. Thin question must l»e met at the very threshold of this ses sion. whether we will retrench or tax our peo ple beyond their ahilitv to hear, l'or my self. I say curtail expenditure* in State affairs as you all have to do in your private affairs. There is no other alternative than to lop off nil unnecessary appropriation*, and during these hard times pritvide only for such objects as are really indispensable. The only objection which 1 have heard raised to changing election day from Sep tember to November is, that it would he more likely to he ►tormy in the latter than in the former month; this might possibly lie so. if tin* proposition provided for fire voting day* every four years, instead of two. The Presi dential election will he held in November— rain or shine. The voters being at the poll* can east their vote* for State officer*, with no additional expense or time. The only ques tion left to solve is. whether four days in September being the second Monday of said month for four consecutive years would be less likely to Ik* stormy days, than one day in November. It w ill he seen that in the former case there will he four chances for a stormy day where there is one in the latter. I think this argument when examined will he found to he groundless, and without point or force. In the hasty examination I have been aide to give this matter I have been astonished that our people have home these useless bur dens so patiently and w ithout protest. This is the Fiftv-Kighth Legislature of our State. Fifty-eight times our people have been called together for annual election*. And by exam inations of the records you will find that 4,472.21b votes have been thrown for (iover nor at those 58 State elections. Three-quar ters of this expense might have been saved had our fathers adopted biennial elections, as did a large majority of the other States, and held those elections in November whep the national elections were held. Three-quarters of the votes thrown at 58 elections would he 8.554.1»I2 votes. Reckon ing the time of each voter at one dollar per day (including horses and carriages employed) which Is a low estimate for time and teams in mid harvest season, you have 88,854,1*12, and reckoning the expense of a scs-ion on an average at #60,000, 2i* sessions have cost the State #1.740.000. This added to the cost »*f voting will make &i.o04.162, a sum larger l»v #r»«;.i;ps than our entire bonded debt less the sinking fund at the present time. These millions in my judgment have been thrown away, have gone for naught. If we had them to-day. we could wipe out every dollar of our State debt, and relieve our peo ple from the burden which hears so heavilx upon them. Hut the past we cannot recall. The future is in our hands. If we act wisely and with discretion we may relieve future generations of a needless and grievous expenditure. It w ill b observed that the first election under this article, (if adopted w ill he held in November, 1**0, at the time when the next Presidential election occurs. We could perhaps dispense with a session of tin- Legis lature next winter, 1**0, hut for the fact that in Art. 1*. See. 7 of the constitution we find the following words ‘‘while the public ex penses shall he assessed on polls and estates, a general valuation shall he taken at least once in ten years.” As the last State valuation was taken in 1870, it w ill he necessan to hold a session next w inter for the purpose of taking a new valuation in accordance with the provisions of the constitution above quoted ami also to pass such laws as a change to biennial ses sions and elections may require. The first session under this article. it adopted,) will therefore commence on the first Wednesday of January lkm. and once in every two years thereafter. It will he necessary to have a session in January lssl to inaugurate the government which will come into power at that time.— This arrangement will harmonize with the Presidential election. As we shall he obliged to hold two sessions after the present one. be fore this amendment goes into effect, the op position heretofore encountered from mem bers desiring an early re-election will he re moved. I expect that politicians will oppose this measure. Persons who desire to keep the po litical caldron continually boiling: who de sire the constant ami ceaseless agitation inci dent to annual elections, never stopping to count tlu* rest to the people, if perchance their personal ambition can he gratified, such men w ill oppose this change,—hoping by keeping up this annual political strife, some party or personal advantages will come to them: all that class id* men who make pol itics their principal busine ss, w ho arc seeking promotion, and w ho have mounted high on the ladder of fame, and are seeking to climb -til! higher, will oppose these resolutions. Hut the people, the toiling thousands. Mat tered all over the hilU and valleys of this State, home down beneath the burdens of taxation almost beyond endurance, will hail this measure of reform and economy w ith approval. I trust the members of the House w ill give this measure their united and unanimous sup port. and the people v itli one voice will say “well done, good and faithful servants.” MA I\E L EG I SLA Tl liE.

Jailn Jitniubec Journal. Augusta, Friday Mora'g, Feb. 21. 1879. _ Great preparations w en* made in Wash ington to give Hon. Zach. Chandler a rousing reception upon his arrival at Washington to take a seat in the Senate again, hut Mr. Chandler very decidedly opposed the proposed demonstration, as n*>t in harmony w ith his tastes, feelings or wishes. Reformer Brown has been at Portland, when* it appears he freed his mind in re ganl to tiie political situation. He pre dicted that if the democrats dared to nom inate a candidate for Governor he would receive less than 6000 votes. Where, oh where then, will Governor Ganelon he. if Mr. Brown is to be believed The Senate voted yesterday to non-cou cur with the House in referring the State printing to the Governor and oimcil, and passed the contract of Sprague, Owen A: Nash. All the republicans and one green hacker voted in favor oftlie above contract, the vote standing 19 in favor to 10 opposed. The matter now goes to the House for ac tion. The chairman of the Committee, Mr. Thompson, of Knox, a greenhaeker, exploded the idea that IMIlsImrv Co.'s bid w*as lower than that of Sprague, Owen Nash, by stating when asked that the bid of the latter was the lowest. The Senate non-eoneurred yesterday with the House in the matter of the divi sion of Rockland, giving three majority J against the division. The contest upon this question has been one of the most earnest of the session. Now let the good people of the city of Rockland try and arrange their municipal affairs so that they can live amicably together, as their mutual interests and the natural features of the location appear to demand. \Ve should regret very much to sec so fair and prosjterous a city as Rockland is, divided into two petty municipalities. Senator Thomas ot Cumberland fairly electrified the Senate with his brief but eloquent re marks against division. There was a little episode when M. (irevy was chosen President of France which may become important. The con stitution provides that a President shall be elected for seven years, and it also pro vides for the death or resignation of an incumbent. When the Senators and Dep uties met to constitute the Assembly of France, efforts were made by one or two speakers to ascertain whether M. Grew was to bo chosen for the unexpired tern, of Marshal MacMahon, which expires in 1880, or for a full term of seven years. The republicans refused to entertain the inquiry; in fact, they hooted the querists from the tribune, ami the presiding officer declared that they had met as an electoral college, and debate was not in order. Wheu the election was declared the pre siding officer announced that M. (irevy had been chosen President of the Repub lic for seven years. Ex-Chief-Justiee Loehrane, of Georgia, has had a long conversation witli “Gath,” of the Cincinnati Enquirer, upon questions concerning the South, lie sees no proba bility of a split in the solid Southern vote by 1880, and thinks the republicans have the better chance of electing their candi date in that year. The very solidity of the South alarms and consolidates the North. The only time he heard Southern claims discussed was in a speech by Blaine, in Chicago. He watched the audience with much interest and saw that they listened very closely to his presentation of the case. The outbreak by General Bragg also showed him that the Northern democrats were distressed on the subject. He doesn’t believe Grant will be nominated in 1880, and has no doubt that the democrats would nominate Bayard if he lived in New York. As it is, he wouldn't be surpised to see Horatio Seymour nominated. In a speech made at the republican cau cus which nominated him for the Senate, Mr. Chandler said “I had the honor of having a little something to do with the election ot 1876. It was an election on one side of fraud and violence, and with out any exception—and 1 say it deliberate ly ami after mature consideration—that the greatest fraud, in my judgment, that ever was seen on the earth was Samuel ,1. Tilden. As I have said, I ran that cam paign to a certain extent. 1 was chairman of the committee, and they howled fraud, fraud, fraud. There was fraud, but it was on the other side. Now, I wish to sat with regard to that campaign, as 1 have over and over again, that I never did a thing, wrote a line, sent a dispatch, either cipher or in the English language, or in any other way, that I would not be glad to see in print to-morrow morning in all the democratic papers in these L'nited States.” Iron Making. One strong indication of a revival of busi ness in the country, is found in the fact that there is a much firmer market for pig iron, and a hotter feeling generally in the iron trade. By a recent report of the American Iron anil Steel Association, it appears that in the year 1H7H the stock of iron on hand diminished 12ti.000 tons, while tin* production increased 70,000 tons, thus showing an augmentation of consumption of 10*1,000 tons: tli.it the r dling mills show an increased activity, and the manufacture of Bessemer ingots, which was 5tJO,5d7 tons in 1H77, was 730,000 in 1*7*; that the amount of steel rails manufactured was 000,000 tons, and of iron rails 330,i«ki. making a total of '.*30,0011 tons of rails, a fig ure never readied before except in 1*72. when the total amount of rails attained 1, to lu* in office, (iovernor (iarcdon i* accused of going u-junketing. Mr. Pick ard of Bangor, the man who is capable of making seventeen speeches in one day, all remarkably fooli'li, said in debate at Augusta, Tuesday, that the (iovernor had hut little to do.

Hebrews better drinks than anybody else at the State capitol. I do enjoy si-dng him drive that demagogue Brown of Bangor, dow n into his boots, as he ha* done on several occasions, making him blub her out an apology like a whipped school-boy. He is not everlastingly speaking like Brown and Pickard, but when lie does get up he lias something to say, and speaks to the point. But politically speaking Wilson has fallen from grace, and what a fall was there, my countn men lie lull huil much experience an a legislator, anil from wliut i hail heard of him in the Arons, 1 supposed him to he a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool dem ocrat, one who could neither be cajoled, bought nor driven. Hut the second day of the session, I learned to my sorrow and cha grin, that In* too had been debauched by the .lazebel of tin* raj; baby party, for when the resolves approbating specie resumption came down from the Semite,—resolves which had the true ring of the true, old-fashioned dem ocratic mi (al, I supposed that Wilson would support them, and that he would he followed hv every denioerat in the House. Vou cun judge of my surprise and distrust, Mr. Kditor. wiien this same Wilson volunteered to dig tin* glare of these resolutions, helped to bury them, and has sat guard upon the grave ever since, to prevent the possibility of a resur rection.—And what was the consideration? He cannot plead in justification, tin* reason tlint prompted Ksau to sell out. Ksau was hungry and sold out for a dinner of herbs, but ail Wilson gets for his apostasy is a little public provender for his friend Leavitt.— Front a letter in the Oxford llemocrnt ty ■'At/oitt Veverly, the member front ItonticA' The liveliest part of our city is at present at tlie north end.

Legislative Proceedings. (Continued from first page.) At'TKItNOOJi Session. Tlie Senate resumed consideration of tin* West liockland bill. Mr. Hkhlon of Oxford, desired to state his opinion and that of his colleague (Wait). IL* w idled to do justice to all parties. From what had been said he could not tell which side wn« right and which wn» wrong, hut there was something wrong in tin* whole matter. If lie was satisfied that a sincere offer had hern made to assume a town form lie would oppose tlie division. On principle he objected to cutting up cities and towns, tint lie sympathized with Ward Seven. It was his duty to vote according to principle. A reason for setting off the place was Hint a feeling had grown up between tin* two parts of tin* city that cannot be healed. The Constitution did not oppose the division. Mr. Coouiis of Hancock, was in favor of tin* hill, lie thought tlie Seventh Ward had grievances. Mr. 1‘atti.n of Penobscot, said that mam other counties had been represented. He did not rise to represent old Penobscot, hut to a point id' position. Never so conflicting I :l question canto before him in till his life. Hut it looked to ItiIII as though tile interests of the two portions of the city were so con nected that it was impossible to separate J them without serious detriment. His svm j pathy was with the farmers of Ward Seven. as with all tile laboring men of tile State, hut it was Itis duty to vote against the separation. .Mr. iitHKt.it ot Penobscot, had his svtupa thies with Ward Seven. He believed they ought not to tic held if they desired to go. Mr. Ki.i.is of Waldo, said that the two por I lions of Rockland had no interest incouiiunu, there was no reasonable ground to hold them, and they might go as well now as at another j time. Mr. Thomas of Cumberland, stated the reasons which should govern his vote. He thought the grievances of the dwellers in Ward Seven were not serious enough to war j rant the division. He believed in the future of the city of Rockland, and lie could not vote that it should he cut in twain. [Remarks in full elsewhere.] I lie question being upon the engrossment of the hill, Mr. Vist.in of Cumberland, called for the yeas and nays. The result was as fol low* Teas—Messrs. Atwell. Barker, Chase, Coombs, Duran. Kllis, Maylicw, Morrison. Parlin,|Hedlon. Rogers of Penobscot, Thomp son, Wait—13. Nay*—Messrs. Andrews, Bradford. Cobb Fergumm, llarrii. Hawos. Linn, M.nlignn Moody. Fatten. Fiince. Roberts. Roger* of Sagadahoc, Smith. Thomas, Vinton—lb. So the bill was refused a passage. Mr. Fkroi*o> of York, called up the mat ter of tree high school*. The question hctoro the Senate was on concurring w ith the House in accepting the minority report so that this class of schools should be dispensed with. Mr. Ei.lih of Waldo, called for the yeas and nays. Mr. Thomas of Cumberland. said that la*t year the free high schools cost but if they adopted hi* proposition to suspend one half the ••mill t;-x,” no further retrench ment in school expenses would be necessary. Although the free high schools had not done all that was expected of them, yet if they were suspended once it would be forever. The people are willing to pay for these schools: they are the poor man's college. Mr. P.attkn of Penobscot, made quite lengthy remark* in opposition to the tree high school system. They should he dispensed with now because the people wire so hea\ ily burdened. It was not right or ju*t t tin* heavily taxed people of the rural district*. hohavcabout seventeenth-eighteenth* ot the scholars in the State, that they should be cou pe lied to support high schools, the benefit «>t which they cannot enjoy and even tlio*c poorer classes w ithin reach of such school* cannot participate perhaps because they are not able to enter upon those higher branches usually taught in such schools. lie was heartily in favor of education, but earne*tly opposed t«» high schools for the benefit of the wealthier lasses at the expense of the poor er classes. Mr. It \hkKit of rcnnhscot. was opposed to free high schools, not believing that one town should help to support the school* of another, lie was heartily in favor of edu cation, tin* common schools and academic*, but he was disgusted w ith this law. Mr. Fkio.i son of York, made an earnest and lengthy appeal for the free high school-, lie presented an array of statistics to enforce his position, lie maintained that the effect of these high schools had been very benefi cial upon the common schools: for instance, such schools in the towns having free high schools average from one to three per cent, higher in attendance than the tow n.* adjoining with no such school. There was no more substantial injustice in this law, than in oth er* w l,ich have the sanction and confidence of the community. No human law could work exact justice. He was taxed to sup port the law court** but he had never been summoned into them. In closing he said that it was a manifest truth that higher edu cation of a community increases largely it* material wealth. Mr. Ki.kis of Waldo, opposed the matter 1 under discussion. He was interested in edu cation, and he wished his children to have good education and was willing to he taxed for that purpose. But when the people were so heavily burdened w ith taxes he did not wish to vote to sustain the free high school* which were not always a success. He did not wish to strike at the common schools, hut for the sake of economy they might dispense with sonic of their money this year. 'fhe Senate refused to concur with the House, the vote being as follows Yea*—Messrs. Atwell. Barker, ('base, Cobb. Duran. Kllis. Linn, Mayliew. Moody, lhtrlin, Patten, lingers ni' Penobscot. Thompson. Vinton.—15. Nay*—Messrs. Andrews, Bradford. Coombs, Furguson. Harris. Hawes. Madigan. Morrison. Prince. Kedlon. lingers of Sagada hoc, Smith, Thomas. Wait.—14. A point was raised that the questnn now was on accepting the majority report, but tin* President ruled that the matter must first go to the House for its action. Mr. Hoiikkts of Waldo, appealed for an opportunity to vote on the question, as lie was absent when the vote was taken. Mr. Ankkkwh of York moved that the Sen ate reconsider the last vote upon tin* free high school matter, and that it he assigned for Fri day at 11 o'clock. Subsequently on motion of Mr. Bookus of Sagadahoc, the vote of as signment was reconsidered. The question then was upon the motion of Mr. Avi'iti;ws to reconsider, which the Sen ate voted to do In the follow ing vote: Yeas—Messrs. Atwell, Barker, Chase. Cobh, Duran. Kllis. Finn.

Kedlon, Rogers of Sagadahoc, Smith, Thomas, Wait—14. The next question was the original one of concurrence with the House in substituting the minority for the majority reports on the school system, w hich the Senate voted to do. the members voting just the same as hist re corded. 'Hie hill an act to repeal chap. 115 and PJ4 (if the acts of 1*7:1 then took it** first reading, tin motion of Mr. Rookiis of Sagadahoc, the rules were suspended and the bill took its second reading also. The question then was upon the adoption of the House amendment providing that the free high school system be suspended for one year. Mr. Vinton of Cumberland, said the hill was an unequal one and ought to he entirely repealed. Sir. Patten of Penobscot,agreed to this statement, but Messrs. Furguson of York, and Bradford of Washington, took dif ferent views. Mr. Fi mil son submitted an amendment to the amendment so that each school should receive $25u instead of 8500, as is the law now. Mr. Vinton raised the point that the amendment w as not now in order. Further consideration was cut short by a motion to adjourn. The Committee on State valuation sub mitted its final report. On motion of Mr. Mayiiew of Kennebec, the matter relating to State printing was taken from the table. The question then be fore the Senate was on concurring with the House in referring the whole matter to the (fovernor and (’ouncil. Mr. Tiiom \s of ('tinil>t*rlan>. Duran. Furguson, Harris. Hawes. Mayhew. Moody. Morrison. Prince, Redloti. Roger- of Sagadahoc, Smith, Thomas, Vin ton. Wait D. So the Senate refused to concur with the House. Mr. M u m:\v of Kennebec, moved to sub stitute the minority, giving the contract to lowest bidder, for the majority report, favor ing the highest hid. Mr. Vivron of Cumberland, desired to know before lie voted if the minority report fa a ored the lowest hid, and Mr. Tiiomcson of Knox, admitted that such was the fact. The vote was as follows 1 i as- Messrs. Andrew*. Bradford. Cobh, Coombs. Duran. Kllis, Ferguson, Harris. Hawes. Mayhew. Moody, Morrison, Prince. Hedlon. Rogers of Sagadahoc, Smith, Thom as. Vinton.

There xvas another quiver that went pretty deep, as Gallowses crept into I’om forsaken bed that evening, after Mi Judy's crisp good-night. “Are the boys going to call me that dreadful name forever? Hut 1 xx ill bear it. 1 am to be good and brave for her sake, and for—but oh, why couldn't 1 have gone with her? It is so terrible here all the time,” and Gallowses’ trembling lingers drew out a little glistening something hid den at his neck, and xvilli one long, pas sionate kiss, he laid his check against it xvitimut aiiotln r xx ord. An hour later .Miss Judith walked noise lessly in those foolish store suspenders had a rip already to he sewed. The little figure lying in Tom's bed gave her a strange thrill.

"Holdon!” he said. “Somebody has got to open tlie school-room door for us. What is the harm if Gallowses slips through the ventilators and down on the inside, and just draws the bolt of that hack door There is no other hoy small enough and what’s that to do with the donkey or with us?” “Will you do it asked Sain with a threatening pull: but Gallowses stood firm. “I can’t tell I tell you. It wouldn’t be good and brave, and 1 can’t.” “It wouldn't eh!" retorted Sam furious ly between his teeth; and it was a danger ous moment for Miss Judy’s hoy. But the bell rang again, and Sam had found out that it wasn't best to he late in his seat. “I’ll settle you!” he muttered, with a scowl that glowered more and more fierce ly toward Gallowses' desk for the rest of the afternoon, “I'll thrash you within an inch of your life Why simulant he? Wasn't lie three times as big as the coward Gallowses, and a hero of the school in the bargain Two weeks passed, and the curb-bit of the Kirn Tree School still held steady ami strong but outside winter had been marching nier rilvon.till it swept suddenly down one Fri day night and locked up everything. Dea con Barberry's mill-pond i'nclmled, in prison walls of ice. And the next day, a Saturday, with blue skies, air like wine, and the ring of the skates on that pond starting the deaeon up to the livlicst psalm tune he knew! From Miss I’ophurst's kitchen window* a pair of eager brown eye* had watched every hov of the school scurrying past, and the jingle of the skate? irons was like the trumpet to the war horse's ears: lint wiiatis a war-horse with, out bridle or spurs—Gallowses bad no skates. And w hat fun was there in goin* to look on? Miss Judith grew a little ner vous at last, watching the little figure with elbows on the table, ami a shorn head in its hand, poring over a lesson for the next week. “Why don't you follow the rest of the boys, wherever they arc? The kitchen's no place for a Saturday Miss Pophurst had turned flu* -calc, and once astir, the war-horse seemed to have wings. “Hallo! There's Gallowses! Come on! Let's see what we can do," was the cry on the pond. Gallowses li lt his finger-tips tingle; the skate-irons rang circles, suuare and pigeon wings. Deacon Bayherrv was setting up another psalm-tune down In the mill; and oh—why coulilu't In- go with the rest! At last a sudden curvet brought a small skater, glowing and breathless, close to the bank where be stood. “Hallo, Gallowses, why don't you come on Where are your skates “I haven't any;" and then, could he? should he? Yes, he must. “Couldn't you lend me yours for live minutes or so "Couldn't do it!" and with another curve ami shot, Bob Aylmer was out of sight. ■•Didn’t you tind thelioys?'' a-ked Mi-s I’oiiluirst, as the latch lifted slowly under j (iallowses-hand.
