"One of my toys" (said a teacher) "had skipped his classos, deceived his mother, been found out, and caused much unhappin&ss all round. I look him aside, and we had a heart-to-heart talk. Johnny" sat sfcill, looking at me intently, and seeming to be deeply impressed. I thought I was makinggreat headway, and that my little sermon was surely penetrating Johnny's brain. I never saw a child who seemed so absorbed, even fascinated, by my line of argument. "But you never can tell. Just as I had reached the climax in my appeal to his better self a light of discovery broke over Johnny.
" "Say, teacher/ he said, eagerly, 'it's your lower jaw that moves, ain't it?'""
