I PROfvlfSTNG 1 In the early days of my univer sity sojourn (it would be absurd to call it a career) I was considered promising. The provost himself, when I went- to breakfaet with him on the last day of the summer term, was good enough to tell me so. "Tho college," ho remarked, "ex pects great thirgs from you, Mr. Vansittart." "I wish, sir," I rejoined, "that the college may not be wrong.'1 "With a lillie more application," he pursued, "a first class is, in the opinion of the college, well within \our reach." I believe I blushed. The young < lady sitting oppobiie to me flung up j her eyelashes for a demure, amused .glance. The provost smiled kindly. "Yes? you are a promising young niu?, Mr. Vansittart," said he. "God bless-my soul! It's 10 o'clock, and the vice chancellor is waiting foT me!" "Oh, papa!" said the young lady opposite to me. , j.^he,provost held out his hand. I clasped it. ? believe that he sup posed me |p be going at the same time. IJe^weC?? I remained. "It is/' I obs?ftetfc .with a pro found sigh, "tfo last ??y ??ierm." "Yes," said the youn?f may, "li," said I, "you were W? dome' .and unlock the gate at the b?&??nT of your garden I could reach ?ry* rooms that way." I "Would it be the shortest?" she asked. "It will be much too short any ?iow," said L A few minutes later I sat down 'on a bend*. Daisy stopped, looked ?doubtful, shook her head, sat down. (Wc pursued the conversation which /we had begun as we came along. 'Tapa would never hear of it," tehe said. v "I should not wish him to-just (yet," ? observed, "but when I've taken my degree" "That's two years off at least," ?she interrupted. "What do you mean by 'at ?east ?' " I asked, rather hurt. 'Teople don't always get things the first time they try?" .. "You're thinking of the first k?me t"~ , "N?> I'm not," she cried, blush ing amazingly. "I meant you'd 'Tm going to get a first/' said I. "Nonsense!" said Daisy.

And jwe both laughed. I happen to know , now that the dean spoke the truth. ! "Dick," said Daisy in a wistful il ftone, "I wish you were rich, like Mr. Franklin Ford." "Ford's a beast," said I. "I didn't say he wasn't that, Dick, 1 ?but" "Of course if money's what you 1 want"- . "You know I don't, but I suppose there is no harm in wishing that ?W#'- . ! I recovered my good tempe?. I always did when she said "we. "I can make as much as he's got," ?said I confidently. j "Oh, can you, Dick? How soon?" I was not going to boast.

There was a long pause. Presently I felt the lightest touch on my arm. I took no notice. The touch grew more insistent. "Poor boy!" said Daisy. "Dick, I told her that I thought Mr. Ford horrid." "Did you?" I cried, my hands fly ing from my pockets to-elsewhere. "I wish papa wouldn't insist on foing abroad ali tho long vacation, le says he can work better there. Never mind, Dick. It's only till October." "Only 1" said I in tones a Hamlet might bc proud of. "Will it eccm very long?" she asked, drooping her lashes. "As If you didn't know!" "Yes-but, Dick, I may like to bc told all the same, you know." So I told her, and eons and eons of weary waiting rose before us at thc bidding of my words. "And in all that time," she said, ."aro you sure you won't forget? Oh. well, then I believe you won't. Think, Dick, what it will be when you come back ! You must look out bf your window all thc first day and perhaps I may como by." "And look up?" "Perhaps." "Perhaps yoivil have forgotten." "Oh, Dick, that is horrid of you! I never forget my friends." "Friends!" I echoed indignantly. "Well, you know, what I mean," aVi.- f??ulff?htltt. ^As she spoke the1 great clock in the tow?t struck ll. She sprang to ?her feel. "Don't go," I urged. "Daisy, it's ?die last time." "Oh, but I must.. So must you." seemed resolute. "W$l;"then>before you go prom ise!"

We sat down on'' "Hie Bench again for a moment-or^it Was meant to be a moment. B?% ?Uck moments are endowed from n??wro?' with blessed elasticity. Then, at a cry from Daisy,.! IOOK* ed up. A tall, stout man in gold specta cles stood looking down at us, a curious, only iialf unkind smile on his face. It was the provost. I felt crimson all over and sat speechless. "Pray, what's the meaning of this, Mr. Vansittart ?" he asked, the mixed smile still on his lips. I looked at him in fright Xor an instant; then a pride arose in me. I cleared my throat and began, "Sir, I am promising" The demon of irony raked up in the provost's mind the memory of bis last words to me. Oh, that I had found another exordium for my heroic speech! "Upon my word," said he, thrust ing one hand into his cross cut trousers pocket and pulling at his trhiskei* with the other, '*you are promising, for your age, very prom ising, Mr. Vansittart." The bubble was broken. Daisy hung her head. I was red and hot again* "Very promising!" chuckled the provost, jingling the money in his poe ks ti "Very promising indeed!" I could have struck him for his mocking iteration. "Daisy, go indoors," said he, "and, Mr. vansittart, may I lend TOM my key of the garden gate? Pray be so good as to return it to the porter." He handed it to me, with a polite bow. Daisy was in retreat, hurry ing in sad shame toward the house. [ took the key. "I meant it, sir," I stammered. "You're a young fool," said he md held out his hand. "Yes, a young fool," he said again is he shook hands. I went. He stood, Watching my exit. I looked back as I reached the gate, ile was there still, and behind him, in the porch, waved a handkerchief. [ passed through the gate and lock ed it behind me. And was the long vacation very long ? And did I forget her in the >ng?" I am willing to answer, at any l cost to my own character, all mate- ' rial questions, but that question is immaterial, for ehe forgot me in the long.

Shortly after the countryman's installation a commercial traveler appeared at tho wicket, received a letter, opened it and produced there from a money order, which he im mediately presented for payment. The postmaster took the order, read it and reread it, suspiciously scruti nizing th? traveler from timo to timo over the sheet. At length he ventured, "Are .ye the fellow Lins thing talks about?" "I am," replied the traveler. "Well, have ye got anybody to identify ye?" "No; but I don't see that it is necessary," replied the knight of the road. "You saw me take the order from the letter, lt could hardly be for anybody else." "I don't just know about that, boss. I want somebody to identify ye. Don't take me for no jay. Ye may bet I know just a little about this biz." The commercial traveler argued the point for awhile- but to no pur pose. Ho must be identified. But how?
