roicallv strong spirit to persist in

of such seeming lack of apprecia-

readier in whose department he
‘ Tlte signals are made by the
lingers while , , one hand . . is . la . id .. up
to view. One fing'-r means, can l
water; two fingers, can I speak
toft scholar; flute fingers, can 1
speak to the teacher; four fingers,
I absent nsvself for a few
minutes; fiv* fingers, can 1 put
paper into the waste basket. The
teacher to whom these signals are
made answers them by a nod
shake of the head. This signaling
business lias been working like u
charm until a few days ago, when
one of the tiny’ little girls, held up
three fingers to Miss May, the as-!
sistant teacher. A nod of the head
was the signal that came buck, j {
which meant that the iittle. tot
speak to her teacher. With 1
this permission the dear little;
lump of anatomy with her face i
all lighted 01 up with a smile, ’ soon
reached the side of the teacher.
• i What do you want?” Miss
May asked.
“I want to kiss you, 1 ) was tile
reply.
The tot was so in love with Miss
May that she couldn’t wait until
recess. Bo to make the mutter
short, Miss Mav kissed her and
sent her to her seat. This unpro-
cedented turn things hud taken
caused a titter among the otliei !
tots, and as tin re is no signal for
laughing, the little folks had t"
put a light grip on their laughing
apparatus until recess, when bed-
lam turned loose. A few days af-
ter this spasmodic episode of four •
lips between teacher and pupil
Sam McCullough met Miss Ma v j
on the street and neld up three j
fingers, which meant lie wanted
to speak to the teacher. 7n order
to humor the joke she shook her
head, which cut Bam off m his
little piay.
