I have just been chatting with Miss Marvin here-ournew schoolmistress.

The Miners' Bachelor Club gives a reception and ball to-morrow evening in honor of the new schoolmistress.

The new schoolmistress, a sour and uncompromising looking person, had issued from her cottage in her Sunday best to see the ceremony.

"You must walk on, please; I am the new schoolmistress."

"You don't mean to tell me you're the new schoolmistress!"

"Are those things meant to fight the new schoolmistress?"

"Anyhow, I expect my yellow car will excite more interest at Lucky Star than a new schoolmistress," said Nick, laughing, almost light-hearted again.
