Now, list none and all while I assure you that the first scholar, old or youngmiss or master, gentleman or lady, whom' I shall see whispering withont leave, I will ferule !" . ; , ' The teacher, Air. Arthur Stone, closed his bearded lips firmly and glanced about the old-fashioned school room with a de termined expression, as he ceased speak ing. ' He evidently meant just what he said meant it in the faces of the stout, stalwart young gentlemen, and the pret- y, witching, bright-eyed girls about him. For a' moment there was a dead silence upon all, while every eye was fixed upon he handsome resolute face of the teacher. But in the little crowd of eager; upturned aces, there was but one which his eye sought intuitively, drawn as it were, by somei strange, mesmeric power.- One ace, and one at that moment which was a pretty picture of piquant beauty, with its saucy, inquisitive blue eyes, which met his own fully and daringly ; its strawberry-red mouth pursed up to the most provoking and daring of smiles, that said as plainly as words could have said it, 'You wont ferule me, Arthur Stone, It 1 whisper ever so much!" v . ., A sudden. flash of anger, reddened up into the cheeks of the young ' man, and shot from the depths of his fine grey eye, as he said determinedly, in answer to the smile of the red mouth and blue eyes, and tne toss or. tne dainty neaa "1 repeat it; I will ferule the first scholar whom I see whispering without leave ! ' .- This time there was no mistaking it ; there wras a preceptibie motion in Anna Hawkes pretty head, and an unmistakable light in her eyes, and a whole unbroken sentence wreathed about the curve cf her lips,' as she turned; carlessly to her books "You can ferule me if you choose,'' she said, mutely, not believing he would ven ture to do it., .... : , And I certainly will," was the silent reply of the young man, , confident the while that , she would not allow him an opportunity of putting his threat into exe cution. But he was ill at ease as he turned moodily to the arithmetic class from which his attention had been drawn by the unu sual confusion. Affairs bad taken a dis agreeable 1 turn, an unexpected course, and whatever he might do, he 'could no better them. There was but one way for him. He must put a stern face upon the matter. He must maintain his dignity as a teacher, even if he was obliged to thrust roughly aside his own wishes and inclinations, ' Anna Hawkes pleasant, witching, graceful Anna the one bright star that threw so much light upon1 his arduous, tiresome duties; the warm-heari-ed girl that had grown nearer and dear er to him as the dullwi&try days went by, till he had dared hope, silently, yet earn estly, that sometime he might be more to her than any one else in the world, even she, if she came between him and his du ties, must be sacrificed, It was a misera ble thought, and he greeted it with a long, deep drawn sigh. Not once during the forenoon, did he venture to look toward Anna's seat, or al low himself to pause anywhere in her, vi cinity, for fear his ears might be greeted by a provoking:, odious whisper. Not once.Tsay, but I must except the long re cess, during which he watched her eager ly, as she bent over her slate, working out her algebraic, problems, apparently lost to everything: about her. ,Two or three times he half started from his scat to go to her assistance, as she knit her white brows perplexedly, but a strange new like-pride, kept him back.. He thought he had never seen her look half so pretty or lovable as then, as she sat there bent thoughtfully over her book. wun one wnite nana running rapiaiy ana gracefully over her slate. Her dress of dark crimson cloth, with its full sleeves confined at the wrist by bands of black velvet, fashioned hijjh in ihe neck, but in such.' a manner as to. display her full, white throat, was ,' strangely becoming to her. He had never thought of it before, but there was a certain refinement in her taste that was truly 'pleasing. It was vis ible in everything she wore the dainty cambric collar, confined at the throat by a small cameo breast-pin;' the knots of black velvet ribbon fastened about her luxuriant soft brown braids; the petite black silk apron,' with its girdle of silk- cord, and full, Targe, drooping tasspls and even the slender" shining little kid boots that, peeped daringly out from un der the folds of her ample skirt. ; In al his life, Au'thur Stone had never looked upon a face and' figure so "pleasant and captivating. But as he watched her she raised her eves to his face. In a moment the pretty seriousness thai rested so be cominglv upon her features was gone. A provoking smile curled up her rosy mouth, and went with a sudden rush o triumph over her xyhole faze dilating her finely curved nostrils and sweeping, like m, . m mm m ever sunsfuse over the Liue or her eyes making such rare dimples about her chin as o&e might have supposed to have been fitted by the cunning forefinger of Gupi himsejf. Arthur Stone was vexed, but he wa3 tco much a man of te world to ajlow the young girl to know how much she was capable of annoying him, and so after the first flame of petty anger had died out rom his cheeks .and forehead, he said, m a voice, the calmness of 'which surprised even himself; 5 : . ; i "Can I be of assistance to you: Miss lawkes?" ; , "None, sir, hank you. I have quite conquered my exercises alone to-day." i oohsh fellow ! The very coolness of his manner betrayed the secret he strove so hard to hide, There was little need of coverts if there was nothing to conceal. And. so it was that the forenoon slipped unpleasantly away, and the afternoon came in its stead. The teacher's rule was so far a good one. The school was remarkable for its quietude. If Anna Hawkes had not been present, Mr. Stone whould have counted it a success, but as it was he was in a constant tremor of ear. A raised hand in the neighborhood of her seat, and a timid application for as sistance was met with something like an unreasonable frown. In a hurried, ner- ous way he proceeded to explain away the difficulty to the timid applicant, anxi ous to be free from such dangerous sur roundings. Just as he was congratula ting himself upon his success, and about turning away, a rapid, whispered volley of words rattled past his ears. There was no avoiding it. He knew the source rom whence they came as well as did ev ery scholar who heard them. He could not pass thoughtlessly along. "The dread alarm had come with such a sudden dis tinctness as to surprise him into an invol untary start. Every pair of eyes m the school-room were turned inquiringly and curiously to his face. He was forced in to doing his duty. The heavy beard about his mouth was friendly to him then, or it covered a suspicious pallor that set tled there as: he turned about and rested his eyes sternly upon the blushing piquant face of Anna Hawkes. She was the pic ture of innocence iust then, with her brown lashes drooped low upon her cheeks and the pearly white teeth crushed cruel y down upon the crimson of her lips "Miss Hawkes, can you tell me who whispered a moment since ?" Yes, sir." The white lids were thrown wide open and the clear eye fixed frankly upon his own. "Who ?" "I, sir." "Will you oblige me by stepping this way a moment? He led the way out into the floor. ' : "Yes, sir, certainly." She followed him promptly, pausing beside the desk and resting one hand prettily upon the top T suppose you listned to my rule of this morning V "Yes, sir," . "You understood it, too, doubtless?" "Yes, sir, perfectly." - 'Understanding it perfectly' then, you have been pleased to break it. Can you name rny duty?" Tt does not admit of a question. ' Fer ule me, sir." She commenced drawing a slender gold ring from her left hand. This hand, s.r?" she asked, suddenly, looking up into his face. We have plenty of time, Miss Hawkes do not hurry, he said, evading her ques tion, I have something to say to you." She leaned her- elbow upon the desk. and her burning face upon her hand. "I shall be happy to listen to you," she said. I will not trouble you but a. moment, only to fay that, I regret more than I am able to express, that a scholar whom I have ever endeavored to treat with uni form courtesy and respect, and in whose advancement I have felt a lively interest, should by so glaring a misdemeanor, such an utter contempt of my wishes, avow her disregard for me as a teacher and a friend.' Such a display is unpleasant enough if a "mere ' child wilfully breaks the rule of a school, but when instead, a young gentleman or lady so far forgets 1 i . t w mm or nerseir, it is intensely pamtui. l assure you I deeply regret this." Anna bow fd gracefully as Mr. Stone ceased speaking. Again her white teeth were dented into her lip, while the brown lashes trembled close upon the burning red of herxheeks. .-' "Your hand, if you please." : ' : The little white hand was reached forth a3 though it were to receive a caress msteid of a blow. As it lay so tenderly, and trustingly upon the broad palm of the teacher; he inwardly cursed his stars. He called himself a brute, a tyrant, a monster. He had a mind to get down on his knees and pray for a big-mouthed earthquake to swallow him ; for a sudden flash of lightning (in the winter time) to melt him into nonentity; for a whirlwind with its rapid rushing winds to sweep him from off the face cf the earth. Strik that little dimpled hand with a cruel two inch rule? He had rather cover, aye blis ter it with kisses, instead. It trembled within his grasp, and abouf the mouth of the owner, a white line wa3 islanding the redness of her lips. For a moment, he thought he'd kneel before her and ask her to give the pale prisoner to him. It vould be his hand thenk and who cocld blame him for not wishing to injure his own property. A thought struck him. He might strike his own hand instead of Annans. He could shield her and take the blow LjLnself. The idea was a rare one. He was in the mood for cracking every knuckle he owned. ' He raised his ruler. Anna raised her eyes to his face. His fixed determined expression startled her. She would bear his blow syithout ! shrinking, without starling, she (height, but, O, she would hate him, bate him, j hate htm, so long as she lived ! As the j thought flashed through her inind, a gay, j dashing looking sleigh, drawn by a pair of, fine horses, came rapidly up to the school-house doer. .Luck. Lucky Mr. Stone. The rule fell harmlessly upon the fair, rosy palm of i Anna, as he turned his eyes toward the window and hurriedly exclaimed: . "The committee, Mis3 Hawkes. i ou i can take your seat now, but remain to night after school. Even for. this inter ruption, I should not feel justified in let ting the affair pass." "The last committee man upon earth, that I would care to see!" exclaimed Mr. Stone, as be bowed low before the pom pous young gentleman, known by the cog nomen of Dr. Wesley Baker, who rapped with his whip upon the door said young gentlemen being one of wealth and educa tion. But the teacher did not care a fig for his wealth he did not envy him or care anything for his education his own was equal to it. But what he did care fcr was, that Dr. Baker was a great admirer of Anna Hawkes, and in the present slate of affairs he did not care about having any rivals around. ' Everything went along smoothly during school hours, as it always did during the visits of the several com mittees, but the moment school was dismis sed, Dr Baker stalked across the school room floor and up to Anna Hawkes' seat. Mr Stone bit his lips with vexation. His rival had made his appearance quite in the nick of time. He dispised meanness heart ily, denounced it Whenever he saw it, but now. in spite of himself, he stood and lis tened eagerly to catch the few words that dropped from Dr. Baker's and Anna's lips. "I'll ask Mr. Stone to excuse me," he heard Anna say M Which of course he will do," replied Dr. Baker. . "I am not so certain of that," was the smiliqg reply. : "I hope you will pardon nie for daring to ask such a thing, but Dr. Barker wish es me to drive with hirn in his new sleigh, which I am very anxious to do, and so I'd like to be excused from remaining this evening to take my feruling, promising to come early to-morrow morning." Mr. Stone bowed and said, "very well," though the words quite choked him. He secretly wished Dr. Barker and his new sleigh in China, and himself free from the vocation of School teaching. He thought as he stood moodily by his desk, watching Anna Hawkes pin her plaid shawl closely about her throat, and tie under her chin the blue ribbons of her quilted hood, preparatory to her drive with Dr. Barker, that he was the most miserable man in existence, and that he would purchase him a farm, go to wcrk on the railroad, would do anything rather than teach another school. He had al ready engaged to take charge of the vil lage academy the following spring, but now he resolved he would not do it. He would throw up the engagement at once. "No doubt she thinks me a very brute," he said to himself, as the gay equipage wrent dashing down the street. Perhaps after all, she had not meditated that ruth less attack upon his dignity and patience, he mused. Indeed, now he thought of it again, the whisper was more like a sud den exclamation than anything else. Yet, he had not given her tho. slightest chance for an explanation, but like an ex ecutioner who loved his occupation, hur ried her forward to a punishment the dolt that he called himself. He had a very poor opinion of Arthur Stone just at that moment. He was sure that he would quite like to horsewhip him. A fair counterpart of the teacher's thoughts were those of the pupil. It was a dull, dreary drive that Anna Hawkes took with Dr. Barker. She had no heart to enjoy it after the folly of the after noon. "He thinks I do not care for, or respect him," was the thought uppermost in her ! mind, whichever way she turned. "And j this is the return that I am making him for all his kindness to me all the interest he has taken in my studies, both out of school and in. O, if he could but know the truth! " The truth! The young girl startled her self by the words. Ana what was the truth? : It wa3' this. She loved Arthvr Stontl loved him better than live itself I A cry of pain went from her lips, as the knowledge settled slowly down upon her heart. But what proof had she given him of this? What proof that she was any other than a vain, selfish, unwoman ly thing. None, alas, none ! Like any woman who is conscious of her power, she gloried in hers over Authur Stcne. Bit how was he to know that it wa3 any ether than the glory of a fickle, heartless co quette, rather than that of a strong, lov ing, true-hearted woman, who makes her power a golaen chain about the heart of the man she lores, by which she drsws him tenderly and gently toward her? How, O, how, was he to know this?

Because a3 it was. He should know at least, that j verv minute p:ir:i"les of wr.tr inunuite she held his feelmsrs too sacred to wound them wantonly. But in the morning she was sick and feveri;h. hardly able to lift er head from the pillow. Sha could net see Arthur that day, so she must wait contentedly until the next. Against her wishes Dr. Barker was sent fur, who croaked dubiously of a fever which was hinging about her. She must be careful j be very quiet, and follow his directions, he said, and he would come an-iin in the efterncon and see how she was getting along. He cams in the afternoon, but at an ur.lurky hour. Anna sat leaning taf.l: iatho rocking- chair by the window, lock ing eagerly up the street. Dr. Barker was vain enough to believe sae was lc T. ing for him. But while hj r.raied learn- edly at her side, he saw a rapid red stun through the whiteness cf her cheeks, and jnneag'?r light break cut from ths l.zzt blue cf her eyes.

Th.3 next morning she refused to remain away from school another day. Afihur Stan? would say that she was cowardly, that she feared a feruling, that she abser.u-d her self purp c!y, because of tho misunder standing of Tuesday aftcrnccn, which she was too guilty to faes again. She would, go to school though she dropped fainting on her way. She ccuU v.:i rest until her ; weary mind wa3 unburdened cf its heavy load. So she went, pale and trembling. at an early hour to the school house. "How he scorns me how he hites me!" she thought, as Mr. Stone. quietly raised his eyes to her face and bowed a silent good morning as she entered tha room. How could she ever face that cold stern gaze, and make her excuses for net keeping her appointment of the previous morning.

"Forgive you, yes, a thousand tims. and then not be able to shew you the million eth part of ths love I bear for youi For- giye yce but I'll dare ask more than you dare hope, more prrhap3 than you care to hope that you will love me ; that" you will place yourself and this" sinned against, much abused little hand in my" keeping.
