BUTTERFLIES AND GIRLS. CONTINUDD FROM LAST WEEK. The dancing had already started .when the two arrived. Jim lost Bob when they went to put up their hats and so he had to go into the hall alone. Some way-he never knew how -he managed to find Helen. "Why, you did come after all, didn't you !" she exclaim ed, when Jim came up. "Now which dance do you want?" "All of them, of course," Jim declared, taking her card. Helen laughed, "That's impos sible, but you may have two." Jim frowned, "That's not fair. Here's one, two, three, "B. M's" Bob always was a selfish beast. Well, I'm only thankful that he left two for me," he added, as he scratched "J. D." in the remaining spac es." Helen introduced him to sev eral other girls, but he only made a few more dates for the * evening. He stood behind a zi tank of palms, waiting for his dance with Helen, and watch ing her float across the floor in her partner's arms. Men tally he went through the things Bob had taught him. "One, two, three, balance, turn, balance." T-he next dance was a one-step, for which he was thankful. Like a dream he found him Fe'f on the floor with Helen. His brows were knitted togeth er and his mouth set firmly. Never, in the tightest places of a foot ball game had his heart pounded so. He wondered if Helen heard it. Desperately 1he counted, "One, two, three, balance-" but they were in in the middle of the floor and they couldn't turn three! Vain ly he tried to remember what came next. "How well you dance," Hel en exclaimed, smiling up at him. Her remark brought back Bob's and Jim lost step entire ly. They collided with the cou p!e in front of them, breaking the white aigrette in the girl's hair. "I-I beg your pardon," Jim stammered, furious at himself. "Certainly ,that's all right," .e girl responded, as she pull ed out the broken plume and tossed it aside 'Dancing is not football, you know, Mr. Darden," her part ner remarked maliciously. Jim looked around at the boy. He thought he had seen the fellow before, and the voice brought it all back to him, the dark campus, the little Fresh man perched on the ball on' top of the monument, singing lustily, while he and Bob stood at the bottom and yelled, "Louder! Louder!" He hard thought that a splendid mode of torture, b"t now he knew better. Dan.:ing was a far more painful method than any thing he had ever tried, and he considered himself a past master in the art of hazing. "No, and it's a long way harder than singing 'Carolinas' Day, eh, Shealy?" Jim replied. The Freshman . grew red, showing the shot had told, and turned to his partner. By the time they had resum ed their dance the music stop ped. There was so much Jim wanted to say to Helen; but somehow he couldn't say any thing. He looked down at her --Was she laughing at him? What a big, blundering idiot he was to think he could dance! "It's rather warm dancing, isn't it, Miss Carey?" he final ly managed to say. "Yes, it is rather warm for this time of the year," she agreed. Just then her next partner came up "Oh, yes, this is your (lance, !Jr. Carlyle. Goodnight, Mr. Darden." She floated off, leaving Jim standing staring after her. Fin ally he turned in search of his next partner. When he found her he carried her off to the corner behind the palms. He wasn't going to risk anoth er dance that night, not if he could help it. It seemed eternity before his next dance came with Helen. At last it came, as all things must, and he hurried across the floor to her. "I'm awfully tired. Let's sit this dance out in the conserva tory," Helen suggested, with a charming smile. "Why, certainly. I'd lot's rather do that than darce," Jim agreed, feeling as if he had been miraculously delivered from a terrible ordeal. It was cool and dim in the conservatory and from there they could watch the dancers in the brilliantly lighted hall. "I say, this is something like," he exclaimed. "Now, all we need is some punch. May I geti it?" "Please." Jim crossed the hall to the punch bowl and came back with two cups. As he was pass-1 ing one of the windows he heard something bumping' against the pane. Looking clos er he saw that it was a Papilio butterfly. Remembering H en's wvish that she had a pair of them, he set the cups down and caught it. Holding it be hind him, he hurried to Helen. "Miss Helen, I've got some-' thing better than punch for you. Shut your eyes and hold out your hand." (To be Continued) PRESBYTERIANS WIN SPECTACULAR GAME (CONTINltEU FIOM P.\( nNr.) Galloway failed to kick goal. Carolina opened up in this per iod but nothing was accom plished only one pass netting a I small gain. There was a big crowd pres ent and they saw a good game full of fight to the end, tho the, Presbyterians seemed to have a slight edge on Carolina.
