"I'Ihv checkers, schoolmaster;" "Oh, vea, piny checkers The tone, hetravetl the rash confitience of youth, hut the olil fanner met it with serene smile, liorn of the memory of many victories. "Hattte, brimj that clieckerlioord.

What kind of a frame do you piny, Teacher, side or centre: "1 don't understand your terms," re plied the schoolmaster, "hut 1 play the regular openings, nnd then gunge my play ac cording to my opponents pluv. "Well, I'll he switched" exclaimed the farmer. "1 always thought checkers was checkers the world over, hut 1 never heard of onetimes, nor gauges nuther. "1 see your hoard is not numbered," said the teacher. "Do you object to my marking the mimliers with a pencil;" "Hark all yon want to, Schoolmaster," replied the hilarious fanner.

"Put a sum in mental 'rithmetic in the middle, an' algebra 'round the edges Turn the board over, write out some example in Imt'ny an' Inst'ry on the back of 'er. an hurt the hoard any. Ernest, trit some of that oitler." After the farmer had won four games in succession, he said to hisson: "Here. Kr-uost, you come an' play with the Schoolmaster This ain't exciting enough for me. I'll go an' set by the fire an' Ten minutes Inter Ernest said' "Well, father, fliis may be fun for you, but it's rather monotonous for me.

You'd better play with Hattte, hchoolmnster. You may get a gnme occasionally, if she's good na-tured." So the teacher and hi oldest pupil played together Hut the memory of certain caustic remarks anont the afternoon's algebra recitation rankled in the young girl's bosom, and she snowed him no mercy. She forced h's pieces into unprofitable corners; she coaxed him after apparently unprotected "single men," only to slaughter the pursuer, and at last, in completing an innocent-looking combination, swept the board time and airatti. hooking up in the midst of the fifth game he became conscious that their normal conditions were reversed. He knew that his face was flushed, and his brows in a tangle, while she was watching him with a cool, amused smile.

"What are you thinking of:" he asked, suddenly. "I am thinking of algebra," the answered, demurely. "It does seem" she gave him a "man" "as though checkers" she gave him two more "was so much easier," and she swept the hoard. When the teacher retired that nieht he registered a vow that he would beat that girl at checkers, even if he had to give up his school and devote his whole time to studying the game. He lay nwake a long time, gazing at the bare raftors above his bed, silver gray in the moonlight that strenmed through his uncurtained window, and thinking of this remarkable checker-playing family.

He remembered the jovial old man's way of pretending to be in extreme fear, and how he would ejaculate. "Ah' now you've got me!" "Look at that, now! I never oxpected that." "Now you have (jot me," and the way his knotty hand would hover over the board in simulated uncertainty. He remombered Ernest keeping up a laughing conversation with his mother, and apparently not paying any attention to the game. He remembered Hattie, always watching him with that keen, amused smile, and moving her pieces with theswift, sliding touch of a slim, white hand. Then he wondered why he had nover noticed her hands before Also, he remembered a certain vivid color in her cheeks, and wondered if it showed the same by daylight It may have been a week after this evening that Edna liristol, Hattie's pretty but dull seat-mate, found the day too short for her lemons, and had to "stay after school." Hattie obtained permission to wait for lisr, and after every one eUe had gone she said to the teacher: "I think you have a checkerboard here, ilr.

Field. Won't you show me how to play by numbers: Ttte schoolmaster rather shamefacedly got out his board and books: "Kudiments of D.aughts," Spayth," and "Uobertsou," and they played games and variations by the dozen. And pretty Edna seemed to find the atmosphere conducive to study, for she mastered tho refractory grammar lesson thoroughly. The next day Edna said: "Teacher, 1 can study after school better than any other time. May 1 stay tonight" And so the program was indefinitely extended.

Now a young man cannot play checkers with a pretty girl night after night without coming to give fully as much intention to her as to the game; consequently the schoolmaster felt as though a great hlauk spot had moved into his life one afternoon when Hattie, without looking at him, left the house immediately at the close of school. The following afternoon a big, fresh-faced young fellow, whom the schoolmaster hail never before seen, called fr Hat-tio, and took her driving in a very dashing equipage. Edna volunteered an explanation after school. "That's Kill Keeler." she said. "He's Hattie's beau, aud he wants her to get married.

His mother has promised to give him the farm if he'll get a wife before Christmas." This news threw the schoolmaster into the sulks. The young farmer visited the school, being received with bashful cor-'diality by the big lioys and girls, and with cold civility by the teacher. He took Hattie to the Thursday eveniug singing-school, and was driving with her and Edua every day. This week was one of misery for the schoolmaster, though his checkerboard was some consolation. Hut sitting alone in the darkening schoolroom, while tho snow whirled high around the windows, he would imagine that vivid face, lit by great, lu- tnlrxras eves, oirrxtttte hlm.I r.

a looked from Iwok to lirmrd. he would f' tb wlft flash of (t white bund nnov hit own. The weeK ended at Inst, nnd the toting firmer returnd to his home. JJJJ 'He's cimlng again t'lirirttnas," Edna mid to the schoolmaster. Monday evening Hittie stayed utter school wns dismissed, liending a flashed face over a perfectly recited algebra lemi.

After a long silence' the schoolmaster snid, with stiff dignitv: "1 am glad, liiss Kites, that you still retain some interest in vour studies." There was no answer. "1 fail to see," persisted the teacher, "whet there is so remarkable in that young fellow that he should Uke up all your time Still no answer. "Come, tell me, Miss Bates, what on earth is he noted for'" She looked Up sideways into his face. says," she answered, gravely, "that he is the lnft checker-player ill the county!" "Can he bent me'" The question meant a good deal. With a reckless flash of her great gray eyes, and dropping into the Michigan country dialect, which the schoolmaster had labored months to eradicnte, she answered 'M h'ni Heat tho lioots off'm yni!" The schoolmaster was furious He took the checkerboard and thing it into the stove.

The books were aliout to follow, when he felt a little hand laid on his arm, and, turning, saw Hattie. with tears in her eves. "Don't'" she said. "I should lie lonesome without without the books. The schoolmaster dropped the books and kissed his iiunil.

Then the little hypocrite assumed an air of miehtv dienitv and said "The school laws don't allow that form of punish mailt!" "Are you going to marry that fellow:" lie asked, peremptorily. "I don't know." "Will you inarrv me!" With a droll little smile she replied: "If you please, Mr. Field, that isn't in today's iesson." As that was all the satisfaction lie could get. he went to consult with her father. "Well, schoolmaster," said the old gentlemen, firmly, "flattie has explained the hull thing to me.

When Kill is here she thinks she likes him best, nnd when you're here she sort cottons to you most. Now, whv don't von und htm play a game of checkers to decide it winner take the girl eb!" "I ngree to that," replied the teacher. The proposition was submitted to Hattie, and she, after some consideration, accepted it "Now, you mustn't take no advantage of Kill," "said the farmer. "He's comin' Christmas eve, an' we'll have the gaino then, an' the weddm' afterward You mustn't keep Hattie after school, nor come here to see her till then." The schoolina-ter got a new checkerboard that night, and every evening he studied alone, carefully noting the moves of the great games in his books. "Science will tell," he said to himself.

"These games were played by champions, and the results are certnin as fate." At Inst the eventful day came, nnd at o'clock the schoolmaster went to the Kates residence. lhere wns a jolly crowd of neighbors present The old houe was overflowing. Mighty preparations were going on in the kitchen, and the smell of roast turkey aud coffee was everywhere. The minister was there a nervous little man in an uncomfortable black suit. The teacher's rival came a few minutes later.

Then Farmer Kates took the floor. "Neighbors an' friends," he began '1 s'pose you know that the schoolmaster and Kill Keeler here are goin' to play a game of checkers for my girl Hattie Now, I'll 'jioint Dave Nash an' Uncle Tommy Kilk to be empires, an' you all understand that if anyone makes any suggestion on the gnme it'll all have to be played over. The weddin' 'II right after the game, an' then we'll have supjier. Place your men, empires!" The rivals were seated, nnd the board placed between them. "Here, Hattie," the farmer called; "vou set here where thev can both see vou.

an' then they'll know what thev're playin for Hattie gave a timid greeting to the two young men, and took the seat indicated. Then the great game began. The schoolmoster played slowly, relating every move to some gome played by the old champions. Kill Keeler played with a dash that had carried htm on ictor in countless contests. The sjiectators crowded nrouud them, breathless at first, then as the game slowly progressed, making whispered comments, tine of the older women sang a little, softly, and some one in the background whistled part of popular air.

The "empires" watched the board closely. It was a great game, and it is a pity that a record of the moves was not kept. When the thirteenth move was made, the old farmer blurted out: "Ky gum!" 't'JI be a draw Now tho schoolmaster, who was playing the black, was preparing to move 1 5, for his thirty-first move. His hand hovered over tho piece, but still he hesitated. Just theu Hattie began whistling a queer little tune.

Much surprised the schoolmaster paused. "Well, Hattte, that is the dumdest tune I ever heard," said her father. "That is a tune," replied Hattie, slowly and distinctly, "that has fifty-nine variations." The schoolmaster was just touching the piece, but that word "variations'" stopped turn. He stole a quick glance at her, but she was looking resolutely at the carpet. "Must be the tune the old cow died on," laughed the farmer.

"Which variation was you whistlin'!" "1 was whistlin' the fourteenth variation," she answered. The strong color surged up over the schoolmaster's pale face. "The Laird and J-ady" had fifty-nine variations given in his book, and there on tho Imard before him was the identical situation that he and Hattie hud noticed and studied in the four teenth variation. Now he remembered Wylhe's wonderful play of Id 20, and black to win. Holding his breath, he made tho move.

"Ijjst the game, schoolmaster!" shouted the old farmer, but the schoolmaster controlled the moves. Again, 14 23, and every checker-player stared in amazement. Again, 20 27, aud theu it slowly dawned on them that the teacher had won tho game by a series of remarkable moves. One more move, and then the piece on 2 went the "long jump," retnoviug three pieces and winning the game. The players rose, and the people crowded around the successful one, with hearty congratulations.

Kill Keeler slipped into the hall unobserved, and after putting on his great overcoat, cap, and huge lambskin mittens, made his way out and started for the stables As he passed the kitchen door Edna came out and stopped him WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK?
