"We hain't no more sense than to let any one in, dumb. Come in, the water's fine. We ain't proud 1" "Well," said Clumb, "If this feller is goln' to do school work of this kind, I want In the district, too." "We'll come to that one of these days," said Jim. "The district- is too small." Wilbur Smythe's car stopped at the distant gate and honked for him ? a signal which brokr* up the party. Haakon Peterson passed the word to the colonel and Mr. Bronson for a board meeting the next evening. The picnic broke up in a dispersion of staid married couples to ^thelr homes, and young folks in top buggies to dances and displays of fireworks In the sur rounding villages. Jim walked across the fields to his home? neither old nor young, having neither sweetheart with whom to dance nor farm to demand labor in its in exorable chores. lie turned after crawling through a wire fence and looked longingly at Jennie as she was suavely assisted into the car by the frock-coated lawyer. "You saw what he did?" said the colonel Interrogatively, as he and his daughter sat on the Woodruff -veranda that evening. "Who taught him the supreme wisdom of holding hack his troops when they grew too wild for at tack r "He may lose them," said Jennie. "Not so," said the colonel. "Indi viduals of the Brown Mouse type al ways succeed when they find their en vironment. And I belie\e Jim has found his." / "Well," said Jennie, "I wish his en vironment would find him some clothes. It's a shame the wuy he lias to go looking. He'd be nice-appearing If he was dressed anyway." "Oh. then you haven't heard the news," Said the colonel. "Jim's going to have his first inade-to-nieasure suit for Ames. It's all fixed." "Who's making it?" asked Jennie. "Gustaf Paulsen, the Dane thut's Just opened a shop in town." "A Dane?" queried Jennie. "Isn't he Bettlna's uncle?" i , "Rutherly," said the colonel jocular ly, "seeing as how Bettlna's Mrs. Hun Ben's duughter." Clothes are rather important, but the difference between a stilt made by Atkins, the tailor, and one built by Gustaf Paulsen, the new Danish craftsman, could not be supposed to be crucially important, even when de signed for a very denr friend. And Jim was scarcely that ? of course not ! Why, then, did the county superinten dent hastily run to her room, and cry? Why did she say to herself that the Hnnsens were very good people, and well-to-do, and It would be a fine thing for Jim and his mother? and then cry some more? * CHAPTER XVI Jim Goes to Ames. Jim tiad never felt more the upstart uneducated farm-hand than when he' was introduced to thut audience at Ames by Professor Withers, nor more completely disgraced than when he concluded his remarks. Even the ap plnuse was to him a kindly effort on the part of the audience to comfort him in his failure. Ills only solace waa the look in Jennie's eye?. "Young man," said an old farmer who wore thick glasses and looked like a Dutch burgomaster, "I want to have a little talk with you." "This Is Air. Hofinyer of Pottawato mie county," said the dean of the col lege. "I'm glad to meet you," said Jim. "I can talk to you now." i "No," said Jennie. ' "I know Mr. Hofmyer will excuse you until after (Tinner. We have a little party for Mr. Irwin, and we shall be lute If we don't hurry." N I "Where can I see you after supper?" asl ed Mr. Hofmyer. Easy It was to satisfy Mr. Hofmyer; and Jim waa carried off to a dinner flven by County Superintendent Jen nie to Jim, the dean, Professor With ers, and one or two others? and a wonderfully aelect and distinguished company It seemed to Jim. Jennie I aeicea a moment'a opportunity to say, "You did beautifully, Jim; everybody aaya so." "I failed!" aald Jim. "You know I failed. I couldn't remember my Ipeecb. I can't atay here feusting. I h want to get out In the snow." "You made the best address of the meeting; and you did It because you forgot your speech." Insisted Jennie. "')oea anybody else think so?" "Why, Jim! You must learn to be lieve In what you have done. Even Con Bonner says it was the best. He says he didn't think you had It In ve!" '"his advice from her to "believe ??: what you have done"? wasn't there something new In Jennie's attitude here? Wasn't hla belief In whut he waa doing predaely the thing which had made him such a nuisance to the county superintendent? However, Jim couldn't ftep to answer the question which popped up in hla mind. "What does Profqnor Withers say?" he asked. "He's delighted? silly !" "Silly!" How wonderful It was to be called "silly" ? In that tone. "I shouldn't have forgotten the speech If It hadn't been for this darned boiled shirt and collar, and f6r wear ing a cravat," urged Jim In extenua tion. "You ought to 've worn them around the house for a week before coming," said Jennie. "Why didn't you ask my advice?" "I will, next time, Jennie," said Jim. "I didn't suppose I needed a bltting rig ? but I guess I did!" Jennie ran away then to ask Nils Hansen and Bettlna to join their din ner party. She had a sudden access of friendliness for the Hansens. Nils refused because he was going out to see the college herds fed; but at Jen nie's urgent request, reinforced by pats and hugs, Bettlna consented. Jen nie was very happy, and proved her self a beaming hostess. The dean de voted himself to Bettina ? and Jim found out afterward that this Inquir ing gentleman was getting at the mea tal processes of a specimen pupil in one of the new kind of rural schools, in which he was only half Inclined to believe. He thanked Jim for his speech, and said It was "most sugges tive and thought-provoking." and as the party broke up slipped into Jim's hand a check for the honorarium. It was not until then that Jim felt quite sure that he was actually to be paid. Mr. Hofmyer was waiting to give Jim the iinal convincing proof that he had produced an effect with his speech. "Do you teach the kind of school you lay out In your talk?" he asked. "I try to," said Jim, "and I believe I do." "Well," said Mr. Hofmyer, "that's the kind of education I b'lieve in. I Ml Want to Have a Talk With You." b ' \ kep' school back In Pcnnsylvany fifty years ago, and 1 made the scholars uieusure things, and weigh things, and apply their studies as fur as I could." "All good teachers have always done that," said Jim. "Froebel, Pestalozzl, Colonel Parker ? they nil had the Idea which Is at the bottom of my work ; 'learn to do by doing,' and connecting up the school with Ufe." "M'h-iu," grunted Mr. Hofm.ver, "I hain't been able to see how Latin con nects up with a high-school kid's life ? unless he can find a Latin settlement soin'eres and git a Job clerkln' In a store." ; "But It used to relate to life," said Jim, "the life of the people who made Greek and Latin a part of everybody else's education as well as their own. Latin and Greek were the only lan guages in which anything worth much was written, you know. But now" ? Jim spread out his arms as if to take In the whole world ? "science, the mar velous literature of our tongue in the last three centuries! And to make a child learn Latin with all that, a thou sand times richer than ail the litera ture of Latin, lying unused before him!" "Know any Latin?" asked Mr. Hof myer. Jim blushed, as one caught In con demning what he knows nothing about. "I ? 1 have studied the grammar, and read 'Caesar."' he faltered, "but that Isn't much. I had no teacher, and I had to work pretty hard, and tt didn't go very well." "I've had all the Latin they gffve In the colleges of my time," said Mr. Hof myer, "If I do talk dialect; and I'll agree with you so far as to say that It would have been a crime for me to neglect the chemistry, bacteriology, physics, engineering and-other sciences that pertain to fannln'? if there'd been any such sciences when I was gettln' my schoollii'." "And yet," ' said Jim, "some people want us to guide ourselves by the courses of study made before these sciences existed." "I don't, by hokey!" said Hofmyer. "I'll be dag-goned If you ain't right. I wouldn't 'a' said so before I beard that speech ? but I say so now." Jim's face lighted up at this, the first convincing evidence that h? had( scored. "I b'lleve, too," went on Mr. Hof myer. "that your Idee would please our folks. I've been the standpatter In oar parts? mostly on English sad " ?" ? uy German. What d'ye say to comln' down and teachln' our school? We've got a two-room affair, and I was made a committee of one to find a teacher." "I ? I don't see how ? " Jim stam mered, all taken aback by this new breeze of recognition. "We can't pay winch,** said Hofmyer. "You bave charge of the dis-cip-line in the whole school, and teach in Num ber Two room. Seventy-five dollars a month. Does it appeal to ye?" Appeal to him ! And yet, how about the Slmmses, Colonel Woodruff, the Hansens and Newton Bronson,. now just getting a firm start on the up ward path to usefulness and real hap piness?, How could he leave the little, crude, puny structure on which he had been working ? on which he had been merely practicing ? for a year, and re move to the new field? "I'm afraid I can't," said Jim Irwin, "but?" "If you're only 'fraid you can't," said Mr. Hofmyer, "think it over. I've got your post office address on this program, and we'll write you a formal offer. We may spring them figures a little. Think It over." " "You mustn't think,** said Jim, "that we've done all the things I mentioned in my talk, or that I haven't made any mistakes or failures." I "Your county superintendent didn't mention any failures," said Mr. Hof myer. "Did you talk with her about my work?" inquired Jim, suddenly very curious. i . "M'h'm." "Then I don't see why you want me." Jim went on. "Why?" asked Mr. Hofmyer. "I had not supposed," suld Jim, "that she had a very high opinion of my work." "I didn't ask her ahout that," said Mr. Hofmyer, "though I guess she thinks well of it. I asked her what you are tryin' to do, and what fort of a fellow you are. I was favorably im pressed ; but she didn't mention any failures " "We haven't succeeded in adopting a successful system of selling our cream," said Jim. "I believe we can do It, but we haven't." "Wal," said Mr. Hofmyer, "I d'know as I'd call that a failure. The fact that you're tryin' of It shows you've got the right Idces. We'll write ye, and mebbe pay your way down to look us over. We're a pretty good crowd, the neighbors think." CHAPTER XVII Think of It. Ames was an Inspiration. Jim Irwin received from the great agricultural college more real education in this one trip than many students get from a four years' course in Its halls; for he had spent ten years In getting ready for the experience. The great farm of hundreds of acres, all under the man agement of experts, the beautiful cam pus, the commodious classrooms and laboratories, and especially the barns, the greenhouses, gardens, herds and flocks filled him with a sort of apos tolic Joy. \ "Every school," said he to Professor Withers, "ought to be doing a good deal of the work you have to do here." "I'll admit," said the professor, "that much of our work In agriculture is pretty elementary." "It's Intermediate school work," spid Jim. "It's wrong tc force boys and girls to leave their homes nnd live in a college to get so much of what they should have before they're ten years old." "There's something In what you say," said the professor, "but some experiment station men seem to think that agriculture in the common school* will take from the young men and women the felt need, and therefore tbt desire to come to the college." "If yon can't give them anything better than high-school work," said Jim, "that will be so; but if the sci ence and art of agriculture Is what 1 think It is. it would make them hungry for the advanced work tliat really can't be done at home. To make the children wait until they're twenty Is to deny them more than half what the college ought to give then ? and make them pay for what they don't ger.'% "I think you're right," said the pro Yessor. "Give os the kind of schools I ask for," cried Jim, "and III fill a college like this in every congressional district in Iowa, or I'll force you to tear this down and build larger." Mora nearly happy, and rather short* er of money than he had recently been, Jim Journeyed home among the com panions from his own neighborhood, tn a frenay of plans for the future. Mr. Hofmyer had dropped from his mind, until Con Bonner, his old enemy, drew him aside In the vestibule of the train and spoke to hint In the mysterious manner peculiar to politicians.

I had heartburn so bad I could hardly stand It, and became so weak and nervous I could hardly do my house work. "Reading what Tanlac had done for others, I decided to try It, and by the time I finished the first bottle I was feeling so much better that I bought two more.
