On sailed hat and football for some three feet, the hat managing to run upside down. R-r-r-rip! The force with which the football was traveling impaled the hat on a picket at the side of the stand. Then, as if satisfied with fits work, the football struck and bounded back, landing at the principal's feet. For one moment Mr. Cantwell was dumb with amazement.
Thornton would have admitted the joke good-humoredly and would have taken outside chaffing with a good nature that would have disarmed all wit aimed at him. Mr. Cantwell, as will be seen, lacked the saving grace of a sense of humor. He also lacked ability in handling full-blooded, fun-loving boys.
Cantwell obediently munched the hard cracker, but there was no moisture on his tongue; his throat was paralyzed; the crumbs crowded themselves from the corners of his lips.

Coppinger was a simple affair, but a Miss Talbot-Lowry, however young, might want watching. The youngest Miss Talbot-Lowry was, happily for herself, quite unaware of the estimation in which she was held. Cantwell. There was, Mrs. Mangan was pleased to observe, no mooching about her daughter.
