j JUPITER : JENKINS,
Schoolmaster.

headed girl In the back seat of the
wide, oblong school-room. Harrison
Jenkins, the presiding genius of the
place, stood scowling behind his desk.
truggllng with the class In Latin.
These young hoys mid girls, who look
ed pityingly up to his dark face, were
trttgglllig with the verb "sum."
The lesson had ln'cu pooHy prepared
and the Issue of thunderbolts was soon
expected to shower from this pedagog
ical Olympus. At last it came.
Mr. Jenkins brought his list ciown
upon the plain deal board with a
thump that awoke every languid mind
In the room. "Is this what you come
to school for?" he began, as If address
ing a Jury. "Is this the way you use
one of the most precious gifts that God
has given to you? Here you are, a
whole class of bright boys and girls.
with brains enough to do anything you
desire iu this great world, throwlug
away the greatest opportunity of your
lives, if this was an Institution for
weak-minded children I would have
some compassion for you. LSut your
faces are till bright nnd your eyes are
clear, and yet you will come to uie
with such a lesson as this:" Mr. Jen
kins punctuated every sentence with
that echoing thump on the desk which
carried conviction and morlilicatiou to
the minds of each boy and girl before
him.
It was then that the red-headed girl
on tue back seat wrote "Jovi non
placet" ("It Is not pleasing to Jupiter").
Geraldlne Colli u was Mr. Jenkins'
pride. He had uo favorites; at least,
such never appealed In the little com
monwealth which he held, In the hol
low of his hand. But In Geraldine he
was Intensely Interested, and he often
found lu her his greatest Irritation.
While Mr. Jenkins held the whole of
his fifty odd young spirits iu the hol
low of his hand, the red-headed girl
was the one person he was not quite
ure of, Gerald ine had given him the
name of "Jupiter," and It titled so well
that It was at once adopted by all his
subjects.
"When he pounds his desk and that
great shaggy bead shakes so, and his
blue eyes flash, all I can think of is
Jupiter sending thunderbolts to earth"
nd In this remark Geraldlne had
christened him. Many times be had
thought he bad heard the name of Jupi
ter Jenkins, but he had never been able
to capture one of these erring mortals.
Of course, he kuew he was called Jupi
ter be bad been told so by admiring
parents, who knew he would be pleas
ed, and be was.
But It was with the red-headed girl
that this story is chiefly concerned.
She was the only human problem that
Jupiter Jenkins could not solve. Ger
aldlne Collin had been an Inmate of the
schoolroom only a few days when Mr.
Jenkins discovered that she possessed
an unusual mind. He laid bla plans to
make the most be Could of her. lie
was accustomed to use the parable of
the talents In the schoolroom, and to
ay that to whom much whs given
much would be required. The getting
of lessons was an easy matter to Ger
aldlne Coftln. She not only learned
them, but the truths and principles
were digested, and sank Into her mind,
clearly understood and stored away,
until the day which would rail them
Into use.
Jupiter Jenkins waa accustomed to
ay that hardly more than one child In
twenty really digested knowledge.
II.
He had come to complain to Geral
dlne1 mother that ber daughter some
time failed In ber lessons, and that It
waa Inexcusable in one who had such a
mind. "I bare come to tell you this,
Mrs. Coffln, when I would not take the
trouble to Inform another mother, for
this reason and It alone: Geraldlne baa
an unusual mind, and she ran make
anything she pleases of herself. If she
knows tou and I are one In this mat
ter, she will not care to trouble ua by
neglecting to get her lessons."
Geraldlne' mother waa as much nat
tered as any otber woman would be,
and, of course, Jupiter Jenkins waa up
held. Thus be dealt wltb Geraldlne.
conscious of bis power. He endeavored
tomakaber fall, and, whenever sb did,
be waa compelled to remain after
cbool and get ber lessons.
But, wltb wonderful mind, tber
waa a somewhat wayward nature In
theteitureof Geraidlne Coffin's person
ality. She waa often rough and hoy
denlab. and aba caused no end of trou
ble. Wltb the deep Interest the young
aaaetr took In ber, a aense of power
developed. When Mr. Jenkins suppos
ed he bad ber aotldlr in bla control,
there wobM bunt forth a fit of "don't
care" m her ardeb aatoniabed and
Then the thunderbolts flew to pup
tuate the master's lluent words of In
dignation. "When one has the mighty
gift of brains." he thundered, "and
life's road lies before to choose what Is
best and highest, t.j lie lazy and lan
guid, nnd not to reach the arm to grasp
the golden apple of Ilesperides, Is tlie
greatest wrong." ,
It was then that Geraldlne, her color
slightly brighter and her head a tritle
higher, would return to her seat and j
write, "Jovl not placet" "It Is not
pleasing to Jupiter,"
There were certain rare facts about
Geraldine that Jupiter Jenkins, in his
teacher's enthusiasm, had not noticed.
One of these was that she was a very
pretty girl. But If he had been Imper-
Mm P
AND IT WAS SIMPLY TUIS-I LOVED YOU! I WANT YOU ALWAYS-
vlous to this fact there were others who
had not, and among those were some of
the big boys In the school.
Geraidlne was growing, and she was
now tall and lithe of figure, with tier
big blue eyes clearer and more express
ive, as she looked at people. The true
soul of a rather designing maiden was
showing forth from them. She was
glad to receive attentions, and It smote
Jupiter hard when be observed that she
walked wltb one and then with another
In the still and balmy spring evenings.
Just why It smote him as It did Mr.
Jenkins never kuew until a few years
later.
But It did, and Geraldlne's face seem
ed to have framed Itself into the center
of his thoughts. She recurred to his
consciousness constantly, and when he
thought of these big boys be was truly
uncomfortable.
He bad another conference wltb Mrs.
Coffin, In wblcb he suggested that Ger
aldlne bad better be kept In the bouse
and made to give cloaer attention to ber
lessons. Wben be called ber in recita
tions be was also doing his best to
make tbe girl fall. And wben she did
fall he did bis beet to make It uncom
fortable for ber. She bad to remain
after school and get tbe whole lewtou.
Jupiter made ber recite It all, "precept
upon precept," so to speak.
He bad conceived tbe ambition to
make a teacher of the girl. He broached
tbe subject to Mrs. Coffln. "Geraldlne,"
be began, "Is cut out to be a teacher."
Mrs. Coffln started !o astonishment
"Yes abe la," be affirmed, wltb a thun
derbolt, "and she ought to be sent to
A normal school. I never went to one,
and what I know about teaching baa
been gained by experience. Hut there
la no mistake. Tbe learning of meth
od mean something In these days, and
I'm ear that If Geraldlne Is sent to a
normal school she will make a first rate
teacher."
Mrs. OoSn thought It over for a few
OAjm, nn4 then came to tbe conclusion
that Mr. Jenklna was right. That was
the usual conclusion about Mr. Jenkins

placed before Geraldlne, and wben she

Geraldlne entered the normal school
and passed her preliminary examina
