They bad ragged and bedevIUed kim to and raised such a racket, hurling missiles at each other, pretending all the while to be defending the new master, that Dr. Weatberby, ihe Headmaster, bad come in demand- ins to know what was going on. CHAPTER 111 The Cricket Match The boys, slxame-faced and ap- palled, retreated to their desks. Chipping, bewildered, battered, breathless, stared at Dr. Weather- by. He passed a trembling hand across his face. "Ira son-y, sir," he said in a shaking voice. "I'm afraid I . . . " His voice trailed off into silence. Dr. Weatherby, his black, spade- beard trembling with the anger that cOBsumed him, addressed the pupils in a terrible voice. "It is 18 years ago this term since I had occasion to cane the entire Lower School. The young gentlemen of that day came hon- estly by their punishment. I think I can say the same for you. You will present yourselves at my study tomorrow afternoon, in alphabeti- cal order, at intervals of three minutes, starting at three o'clock. I believe I can promise you I have lost none of my vigor." The silence that met the Head- master's words could be felt. He looked briefly, almost e.xpression- lessly, at the distraught new mas- ter. "I think, Mr. Chipping, you had [ROWN BRAND CORN SYRUP u'dlitlu Ddmoii] tj sic u.e â€" after Tlw CANAOA S' -ARCH COMPANY llmlwtf better couit Prayers." Character and Courage "Y-yes, sir," said Chipping. The Headmaster's words, utter- ed to Chipping at the close of their interview long remained in the new master's memory, for there was real emotion, perturbation even, in Weatherby's voice: "Our profession is not an easy one, Mr. Chipping, It calls for something more than a University degree. Our business is to mould men. It demands character and courage." That caning of a whole class did not endear Chipping to the pupils, although they were aware that their own outrageous ragging of the new master had brought it upon themselves. It was but a few weeks later that another inci- dent occurred which further estranged the boys and the new master. Dr. Weatherby was addressing the boys in the big dining hall: "Before we leave, I want to wish our cricket eleven the best of luck against Sedbury this after- noon. We have now won the match three years in succession. This year Sedbury claims to be sending us the finest team that ever came out of a very fine school.' Well, we shall give them a hearty welcome. We shall give them a big tea, but I venture to predict we will not give them â€" the Cup." Instead of the expected ap- plause, the hundreds of boys sat in silence, eyes obstinately fixed upon their plates. Dr. Weatherby was astonished. "What does this silence mean?" he asked of the masters grouped around his table. "Something has happened! What is it?" "Well, sir, it's really no busi- ness of mine â€" " began the master he addressed, but Chipping inter- rupted. "I think perhaps, sir, I can ex- plain. I'm keeping my class in this afternoon." The Cricket Match "But that means Colley!" said Shane, the master who coached the team. "He's our best man." "Please, Mr. Shane," said Dr. Weatherby, "leave this to me. Mr. Chipping, if 1 may say so, you have scarcely chosen a very happy occasion for the exercise of dis- ciplinary measures." "As a matter of fact, sir, I had entirely forgotten about the cric- ket match, and my attention was drawn to the fact by the class in such an insolent manner, I thought it inadvisable to go back on my decision." "You observe the effect on the entire school." "I do indeed, sir. It is most regrettable." "Surely, sir, in the circum- stances," suggested Bingham, "you might exercise your personal au- thorityâ€"" "Mr. Bingham, you forget that the traditions of this school are inexorable. However, hasty and ill-advised be the judgment of one of my preceptors, he must at all costs be suppox-ted by myself." "I-er-thank you sir," said Chip- ping feebly. "We need not assume, gentle- men, that the game is lost before it is played. In any event, I do 7 OUT OF 8 CANADIAN HOUSEWIVES WHO USE ^ DRY YEAST- USE R MjM^ BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS DEPENDABLE not consider a victory in the play- ing field worthy the sacrifice of • principle." The long windows of Chipping's I'Jassroom were open and the boys, sullen looks bent on their tasks, heard applai^°e and shouts from llie cricket field. "School! School! Well played. School!" came the cry of their cxi-ited mates watching the game. .Amid resounding applau.~e from the onlookers came sudden cries cistinguishable in the classroom. "What a swipe!" "Good old WisRs!" "Run, sir, run!" Several of the pupils sprang to their feet, among them Colley. One went to the open window; others (juickly followed. They stared out at the game, and ges- ticuhited wildly. "It's Wiggs!" "Only six to win!" cried another pupil. "Go on, run it out!" he yelled to the distant player. "\o! No! Get back, you ass!" shouted another boy at the win- dow. Friendship Lost His cry was repeated by others. There followed a sharp crash of wickets, with the shouting of many distant voices: "How's that?" "Out!" The voice of the umpire came to tliem clear and sharp like the crack of a whip. The boys at the window turned to face the class. "We've lost!" muttered one of them. They returned slowly to their seats. One of them, Mor- gan, spoke over his shoulder to Colley. "Tough luck, Colley." "Morgan!" came the low voice of Chipping. Morgan swung about to face the master, his features twitching. He spoke rapidly almost incoherently: "Oh, all right, sir! Sedbury's beaten us. We've lost the cup! It's not just us â€" it's the whole school. We know you don't care how the fellows feel! Perhaps you don't want to be liked. Perhaps you don't mind being hated â€" " Chipping stood, white-faced, his hands gripping the side of his desk, giving no sign that he had even heard Morgan's outburst. "You may hand in your papers." He paused, and then as though forcing himself to make the effort, said: "I should like to tell you that when I imposed your deten- tion this afternoon, I had forgot- ten our game with Sedbury, but the manner in which you drew this to my attention left me no alter- native but the course I followed. I would like you ot know, too, that my judgment in the first place â- was â€" hasty and ill-advised, and that no one regrets more than Dr. Weatherby the fact that my au- thority had to be upheld You must understand that. If â€" if I have lost your friendship, I have little left that I value, and I say this from the bototm of my heart." The silence continued. "Has anyone anything to say?" No one spoke. "You may go," said Chipping in a dead voice. Chipping, despite his good in- tention, his earnest desire to be the friend of his pupils, had got elf on the wrong foot. He was probably the most disliked of all the masters, not only for that, his frst year at Brookfield, but for the nineteen years that follow- ed. Dr. Weatherby died in 1888 and his bust now stood with that of the other headmasters about the Quadrangle. The boys were going home for the summer holidays. A young- ster, running past Chipping, going down the school steps, stopped to pull up his stockings. Chipping placed a hand on the boy's should- er. "Have a good holiday, Matt- hews." "Thanks awfully," said the boy il! at ease. Looking about he spied a fellow, shouted: "Hi, John- son, wait for me," and was off at a run. That was the way all of the boys felt about Chipping. Would he ever be able to change their attitude? .'V man fell in step at his side. "Mr. Chipping, do you remem- ber me? Hargreaves." "Of course, I remember you. But you've grown, you know!" "Remember the first day we met in the train and I nearly drown- ed you in my tears?" "It was my first term as well. If you hadn't started fii-st, I should have done -the crying myself." "I heard a few years ago you were leaving Brookfield." "Yes â€" er â€" I was going to leave. It just didn't happen, though . . . Perhaps I shouldn't mention it, but I rather e.xpect to be House- master here next term. Woodward is leaving." "That's splendid. Congratula- tions. Well, I suppose I'm keep- ing you from packing. Goodbye, Mr, Chipping." Even Hargreaves, after 19 years, seemed in haste to leave nini, thought Chipping, as he mur- mured: "Goodbye. Glad to have seen you." (To 6c Continued) Christian Science Thanksgiving Day Christian Scienc* churches the world over hold Thanksgiving Day services, and the one held in First Church of Christ, Scientist, Tor- onto, is typical of them all. The service opened with the 'on- gregatijn singing the hymn "This is the day the Lord hath made." The Thanksgiving Proclamation by the (Jovcrnor-General of ('an- ada was then read by Mr. John Carleton, the First Reader. The Scriptu:-al selection was from Psalms and was lead by the First Reader. .After the Spiritual selection the congregation united in silent prayer v.-hich was follow- td by the ludlble repetition of the Lord's Prayer with its spiritua; in- terpretation from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scrip- tures" by Mary Baker Eddy. The Lesson-Sermon for Thanks- giving Day given in the Christian Science Quarterly and read in all Christian Science churches in Canada and many other parts of the world followed the second hymn. The subject of this Lesson- Sermon was "Thanksgiving" and had for the Golden Te.\t: "Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (I Thes- salonians 5: 16-18).

Becoming Cotton House- Dress Bv SADIE B. CHAMBERS A CHEESE CHAT As cooler days arrive there is something homey and appetizing about cheese dishes. Then, too, cheese is one of the high protein foods and should hold an import- ant part in weekly menus. There are two forms of cheese â€" the soft and hard. Cheese made from skim milk is the hard; the soft type is made from milk and cream. The composition of cheese is one-third protein, one-third fat and one- third water. .A gentle heat melts cheese and makes it easier to di- gest. Intense heat makes cheese tough and difficult of digestion. A little soda is sometimes added to milk and water used in cooking the cheese, which renders it more sol- uble and easier of digestion. Whilst cheese is very nutritious, it is wise not to feed it to children. It is best kept in a cool place and not tightly covered. Wrapping in wax- ed paper or cellophane it will keep several days. If it becomes hard and dry, grate and keep covered until ready for use. It may be added to soups (sprinkling on top before serving) or added to any of the starchy foods. A soft crumbly cheese is always best for cooking. I hope these recipes of old favorites will help simplify your menu problems.
