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.
I drew a little niedrer.
* "Joli read the article?" I asked. .
*"The fell ow Bhowed dUit? plainly

*"? shall be twenty," mused Daisy
an 'an awestruck tone. I
."?#s not a bit too old!" I cried.
"N?5?0* I suppose not," she con
ceded, "but it's a terribly long time, ,
Dick."
A pause followed. I hammered '}
my cap against the bench.
"Ifs a beast of a world!" I burst ]
iout. "Why the deuce can't>- ,
there's the dean just got married 1" ,
"The dean must be forty," .ob- ?
??rved .uaisy. . '
"He says he's twenty-nine." 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. Assum
ing a calm and wise air, I answered: '
m "By the time I am thirty any- :

I Daisy's face fell woefully.
? ; "Oh, thiityl" she moaned. Then
? she turned to me, with a smile, say- i
Bing:
"Never mind, Dick, dear. We
?Phan't want quite as much. Why,
? na'agot ?5,000 a year !"
? "HowaVyou know?"
?j "Urs. Jackson told me so. Oh,
I (what do you think, Dick? She said j
I that if I liked I might-abo unid

1 flung tlie battered cap upon thc
bench, thrust my hands into my
pockets, rested my chin on my neck
tie and stared moodily at my toes.
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

The garden seemed'fteac?f?l ano!
quiet. We sat down on'' "Hie Bench
again for a moment-or^it Was
meant to be a moment. B?% ?Uck

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.

PROVED HIS IDENTITY.
At Least t1 e Newly Appoint'-J Pott- ?
maxier Was Satisfied.
A now poctofilce had just been I
opened in a Email country town in I
Canada. For want of a moro likely
applicant, a farmer's son, ignorant, ?
yet ambitious, was appointed post- !
master.
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? He had never been, within
thirty miles of the place before, lie
.ivas about retiring iii disgust and
?ad ?lready reached the door when
a*trillians idea flashed through his

A ROLL OF BUTTER.

Tlie little town of Mercer boasts
a greengrocer with all tho wisdom
of Solomon, reports tho Philadel
phia ledger. The other day a coun
try woman, famous the country over
for thc quality of lier butter, called
on this old Silas Treevcs with the
odd request that he tako a five
pound roll of her making, giving
lier in place of cash an equal amount
of butter from his own stock.
Knowing, os he did, thnt her butter
was better than mtv f?e lind ever
hanaied und knowing, too, that she
knew that it was, tim old follow be
came somewhat susj'ious and ques
tioned the woman's motive.
"Well., you sec," she said finally,
"when I como to tlo the churnin'
this week 1 found a mouse drowned
in the cream, ami somehow our
folks feel kind o' ollish about eatin'
this here butter."
"And do you expect me to sell
that kind of butter to my custom

"Xow, look hero, Silas Trccves,'
said the old woman, "my butter's
better'"i any your customers ever
gets, and as for the mouse-well,
what thev don't know won't hurt
them.,,
Thc old man took the butter and
weighed1 it, went to his cellar and
after a little while returned with a
roll of a somewhat djl?erent shape,
but very much tho samo general ap
pearance, an3, this being sjitisfnc
tory to his customer, she took it and

"Young man," he asked, "what is
your ambition in life?"
"To get rich, sir," replied the
young man, lighting a fresh cigar.
"Not a very high aim. But while
