that the light blue eyes were a little nearer to her, looking up into her face. " Never mind," said he genfciy. " You are quite right, even though you can't explain. When you say ' baccarat,' you Ist • baccarat' stand for a lot besides, don't yon?" " Well, I suppose I do."

" Let us talk it out then. Would you be bored to death if I told you all about it, and myself, and how it all came about? You couid proach to me ever so much better if yon knew all about me, couldn't you ? " " I'm afraid it wouldn't dp you much good." "Well, itwonld do me good to tell you. Yon see it's so much time saved from baccarat."

" Go on then."

She wind was rising, beating the.overgreens against the tiny-pancd moderamedijßval windows. The oandles with which the room was lighted flickered a little ia the draught. Gerard .drew his uneomfortabla seat closer to the fire, and sitting with ben^head, and his hands clasped loosoly together, he told her his story, while the firelight threw straDga shadows on his face, and bronght unsuspected farrows into view.

July 15. The monthly meeting of the committee of £he> Lawrence District High School was he'd oa Sisday evening, when the whole of the ccianittee were present. In addition to the usual, routine business, a committee was appointed to brin jup a report as to the advisability of. establishing-^, penny savings bank in connection with the school. .

The matter of the celebration of Arbor Day was postponed until next-meeting, the general feeling amongst the committee seemingly being in favour of planting trees of a more practically useful description than in previous years. As there seems to be a.desire on the parfcof the Jtducational Institute to make some new arrangement with reference to the appointment of teachers, the committee instructed their clerk to ask tho member for the district, in the event of any legislationin that direction, to forward them, a. copy of any proposed bill, as they consider that the powers of school committees even at the present time, are limited enough without taking aS ay m ttem ft**l right to decide as to suitable teachers for their own schooL I notice that one member of the Educational Institute hazarded the remark that at least eight put of every ten members of committees were quite incompetent to judge regarding the qualifications of teachers. There is very little doubt that some teachers, becanse they have passed certain examinations which qualify them to be classed as A B C D or it, think themselves fit for any position uncerl ttie sun, quite forgetting that there is a natural gift inherent in some which makes it-easy to impart their knowledge to others, but wbieh, I regret to say, in the case of some is conspicuous py its absence. Ifccannot well ba otherwise from the large number of young teachers continually pressing forward. Therefore, with all rhixdeference to the Educational Institute, I consider thafc4&e committees in general do not go far astray in recommending the most suitable teachers for their respective schools, always remembering that the apparently highest qualified teachers are not always the most successful in fitting those under them for the battle of lifu.

I understand that there is a strong-probability of the Waipori difficulty being settled at tost. Mr Jftlndoe is at present in Wellington on behalf of the Berwick farmers, armed with fullpowertoer.ter' into any reasonable-arrangement with the Governnient, who are also anxions, I beliere, to set this matter brought to a final settlement. It*is to lie hoped it will come off. The Beairmont Local Co-operative Company start clearing theirvnesr line of Tace this week.
