She was small, thin, dark and a vividly entbualastlc young person of fifteen; and lust as It was impossible 1o retgrO tbe city-ball clock sufficiently, so was It futile to attempt to make an easy. *1 outgoing personage of Della. In adboof she was nearly two yei ahead of tbe girls with whom she bad graduated from the eighth grade. In tbe matter of elective stodies the had been, during her freshman year, a decidedly grasping student. *As a sophomore, she had been prising: consequently, at tbe beginning of her career at a Junior, she found that there were ao more, elective stud-

ies left to take.

She was eager. Indeed, to add tbe regular senior course to what tbe was already carrying, to pile physics and trigonometry upon geometry, and to cram two years of Latin into one; but to this heroic proposition both teachers and parents very wisely said no. But this unprecedented forwardness in tbe matter of learning left Della with ranch unoccupied time on her bands— and everybody knows what happens where there are idle bar Before her junior yeei been too bnsy to get into mischief: but now. with to little real work to do. she became a disturbing element In wbat bad hitherto been a strikingly quiet, well-behaved school. Just before Della bad become a sophomore a new superintendent of public schools was appointed. Tbe first thing Mr. Graham did on 'aklng possession of the schools wa* to make an agpaal to tbe school board in favor of football for tbe boys and basketball for tbe girls. Tbe members of tbe school board, however, did not take to this Innovation. One declared that be bad not played foot bell himself. anA that he did not see any good n a son why his grand children should. Tbe second said that be once possessed a youthful rela-

bia own sAlwarT aont. Tbe third, an nnathletlc bachelor of seventy-two, surprised every body by aiding with the new superintendent, and was very much In favor of both game*; but he was osily one against two. and at first it looked'as If tbe school would have to get along without either of the popular sports. But one of tbe obdurate board members bad two sons with athletic tendencies. and the other bad four equally athletic grandchildren. All these enthusiastic young persons labored strenuously t«J overcome prejudice*; and soon, ao far as football wa* concerned, the board weakened. ^ ..«r • When it came to Rsketball, however, there were stronger prejudice* to over,t last the hoard grudgingly

With all her lessons prepared for tbe coming fire days. Dsila was in her most 'mischievous and least admirable frame of mind that week: and owing to.Mr. Miller s absence, tbe remal sixty-eight, too, were in a pirn relaxed and receptive mood. Never had they been more willing lo follow Della’s reckless lead. Near-sighted Mr. Feasley. poor man! could not see tbe blackboard back of the room: ao when Della drew an alluring caricature of Robin Hadley, snffertng wltb toothache, Instead of the geometrical figure she was supposed to be drawing, and then pointed with her ferule to one after another of Robin's graphically pictured feature* ns she gravely explained the diagram that was supposed to be there toff was not, Mr. Prosley could not understand why everybody laughed. He oven mildly rebuked the giggling sixty-eight for embarrassing Della during her recita-

tion.

After that Delia teemed to take delight In playing endless silly tricks tbe unsuspecting tittle teacher. "Girls," said she, one afternoon, as they were flocking down tbe steps, let's dress up In some ridiculous way to-morrow, just for fun. Let's all curl our hair in Kittle Blaine curia ” "We did that Monday." objected Cissy Laurence, “and I couldn't sleep all night with my hair done up In rags." "Yes." sympathised Anastasia Mallet t. “It wrf* Just like trying to slumber on a bushel of door-knob*. No more carls for this damsel." “Well." agreed Della, “it was a nuisance. and be didn’t notice tbe curls, anyway. 1'U try to think of something really startling by the time basket ball's over to-night.” That Della had succeeded was evident the next morning Cissy, leaning crutch, limped slowly, down the aisle to her seat near tbe window. Anastasia wore ber right arm In a sting. being ambidextrous, made fearful and wonderful work of Ijer written exercise*- Doris had each sepite finger swathed in a neat, glaringly white bandage. Blooming Bose Mitcbel was powdered to a ghastly pallor with corn starch and green chalk. Large rtrtps cf black court plaster were cris-crosaed oe Laura Dale’s flawless pink cheek.

Lory Mather’s cheek bulged alarmingly. because cf the buge crab-apple in her mouth. Mary Clark, woo painted In water ffolora. had decorated herself and several of ber classmates with astonishingly lifelike cuts, scratches, bruises and black eyes. Della herself might have been the sola survivor of a particularly disastrous football game. She had pasted black paper over two of ber rather prominent front teeth, and wore one eyelid painfully glued down flat under a circle of flesh-colored wourt platter. Both elbows were apparently, out of her limp was ever moee distressing than Cissy Laurence’s.

Any game that endanger! the eyseigfat ought certainly to b« prohibited " "When I tee Mr. Graham this afternoon," promised Mr. Gorman. ‘T shall tell him that this board will tolerate no more game* of basketball!" . This happened on Thursday. By Monday morning the girts, at first' rather ashamed of yhelr childish escapade, had almost forgotten It; but rembrance returned very forcibly when Mr. Graham announced, Just before noon, that there would be no more basketball. Afterward an excited group clustered round Della on the school steps Tt'a *11 your fault r second Cissy Laurence, somewhat unjustly. “We'd never have thought of such foollahoes* If you hadn't put us op to It!" “No," said Doris, "It was Mr. Pcasley’s little speech that finished os I don't think for a minute that he realised what be waa doing for ns. bat when he mid what be did I said to myself. There! That settle* our basket-

“Couldn't we explain to Mr. Graham?*’ ventured Anastasia, doubtfully, r to Mr. Miller, when he gets back?" Perhaps you'd like to undertake It," offered Mary, with mild sarcasm. "Mr. Graham's Just tbe kind of a man one likes to explain a thing like that to. now isn't be? And fancy telling Ur.

We’ve 1 our basketball, and that's tbe end

of It"

It was not the end of M, however. Tbe girls missed the sport, and could not refrain from eying Della reproachfully whenever the game was mentioned. Sometimes. Indeed, tbeir excessively frank young tongues aided their reproachful eye*. Then. too. Della had an accusing conscience, and altogether, tbe whiter threatened to be an unhappy one. By tbe middle of December Delia hated the very name of baak*b*H. One Saturday morning, when Del}* was telephoning, the line* were crossed, and she overheard Mr. Gorman's rather unusual voice asking, “I# that you, Black? There’ll be a school board meeting at my office at 11 o’clock. Ye*, to-day." Delie, ber Small, dark countenance alight wltb sodden hope, realised that glorious opportunity was waiting to ■ seised. Itaremed fairly providential Tbe girt* bad not thought of appealing to tbe board. Mr. Gorman’s office wa* just e little fenced-off corner of hi* dry goods store.

The elderly school board tried manfully to maintain its dignity—and failed. Della left Its members with mirthful tears standing In their aye*. tale, some fifty year* previously, they,

too, had played pranks.

The board bad made no promises, but Della felt distinctly hopeful She waa obliged^ however, to live In suspense until 2 o’clock the following Monday, when Mr. Miller, his grave cyhs fixed quixxlcaily on Delia, wbo was turning red and white by turns, rose, cleared bis throat end ffreparad to maktjt little "^Young ladies." be announced. wf who eonalder It aafe to play basketball may do so after school this afternoon In the usual place.
