THE Con lived Vf.rj ordered life, except any in ALBERT SYMES was one the least likeable of Miss Johnson's pupils. He was an undersized boy, pale-eyed ane with the shrewd sharp, face of a ferret.

He was a fair student and gave little trouble. But Miss Johnson had never been able to warm up to him. She thought that, in addition to being person ally unattractive. Albert Symes was potentially sneaky although she had never caught him in an actual act of sneakiness. This day, she did.

Habitually Miss Johnson accompanied the class into the school yard for recess and remained there during the entire period. On this particular morning, with recess barely started, she remembered something she had wanted to do inside the building. She returned to her classroom and stopped short on the threshold. Albert Symes was bending OVCL her desk. The upper lefthand Irawer stood open.

Albert Symes, usily and swiftly, pawed through ier handbag. "Albert!" The initial shock over, Miss Johnson's voice cracked like a whip. Albert Symes jerked, wheeled and dropped the bag back into the drawer, all in one startled motion. Then he stood twitching and uncertain, apprehension in his rather colorless Even is she advanced on quick, sharply-tapping feet, Miss John- ion knew what she was going to da. Corporal punishment was permitted ia But this appealed to her once as extreme.

With a swift, almost-tigerish, twist 01 her body. Miss Johnson whirled As she did so, she snatched up a ruler. "You give them back to me this instant, you miserable little thief!" She advanced upon the boy, ruler raised. Her voice was the next thing to a screech. Albert Symes.

indeed no one else, had ever seen this Miss Johnson before. A Miss Johnson with face dead-white, eyes blue- and-yellow slits, and nostrils flaring like those of an infuriated animal. Albert Symes' nerve, though sufficient for sneak thievery, was not proof.against this, He simply spun on his heel, and ran. He was out of door before Miss Johnson, distraught and blinded by rage, actually realized that he had gone. It took a moment to pull herself even slightly together.

Then she hurried back to the school yard. Albert was not to be seen. In the time she had she searched (or him, in and out of the building, a sinking sensation at the pit of her stomach.

She never knew precisely how (oi Uiroucb Uu tf IMt dreadful morning. Nor did she know precisely what kept her at her post, when every impulse urged rushing from the building and finding Albert Symes, all other considerations to contrary. Habit long ingrained?

But she'd lost her head, swooped upon the wretched child like a madwoman and naturally scared him to death Now here was no telling where Albert was or whether tat was in he flre.
