Nothing wrong in the home I hope, Brown; wife and baby well ?" said French, his tone becoming more kind and gentle.
"No, not a thing, thank God! both fine and fit," said Brown, as they walked out of the school and down the river path.

"My school has folded itself up, and, like the Arab, has stolen away." "Go on with your yarn.

What has struck your school ?" "A Polish priest, small and dark and dirty; he can't help the first two, but with the Eagle River running through the country, he might avoid the last." "What is he up to ?" "I wish I knew.

He introduced himself by ordering, upon pain of hell fire, that no child attend my school; consequently, not a Galician child has shown up." "What are you going to do--quit ?" "Quit ?" shouted Brown, springing to his feet.
"I apologize," said French hastily; "I ought to have known better." "No, I am not going to quit," said Brown, recovering his quiet manner.

"If he wants the school, and will undertake to run it, why, I'll give him the building and the outfit." "But," said French, "isn't that rather funking it ?" "Not a bit" said Brown emphatically.
