I HYPNOTIZING TERRY I

It was Terry Bell telephoning from
the girls' dormitory. She was in great
distress, and, like Terry, she had put
off the dreadful hour as late as she
could, and then, again like Terry, sha
had come to the Delta Alpha men to
help her out.
Terry ought never to have taken
that philosophy course, and Morton
Nairne cold her so over the "phone.
But that didn't help matters thenjust
twelve hours before the examiner
tlon came off. The worst of It all
was that Terry was taking a minimum
course, and If she didn't pass
that philosophy examination It would
mean no degree atid another year at
college?disgrace.
Terry's voice trembled charmingly
as she told Morton, and Morton's
large heart beat fast and bravely as
he promised to help her out.
Terry had turned to her notebook,
only to find It In hopeless confusion.
She had asked some of the girls in
the dormitory to help her, but they
were too busy to hear her. Doctor
Dorkay's philosophy was a course at
which even the bluestockings trembled.
How could Terry expect to do
it all the laBt day, without the books
and without good notes?pretty little
light-hearted Terry?
So she telephoned to the Delta Alpha
house and asked whether she
might borrow one of the men's notebooks?just
for an hour.
A half dozen Delta Alpha men
were Interested In Terry's plight at
once. Each one was willing to help
her, although each one secretly felt
that help would be useless. As a result
of this general sympathy Tom
Hlnton, Leland Smith and Morton
Nalme awaited Terry beneath the
campus elms at the appointed minute.
Terry came creeping through the
shadow, hatless and heavily coated.
Morton was the spokesman. Mere
work by herself would do no good.
It was too late. So he, they?Tom,
Leland and Morton?had decided to
help her, to tutor her at the eleventh
hour, although each man ought to
have been studying for himself. It

at the girls' dormitory, quite as defiant
for her to come to the Delta Alpha
house and equally lawless for her
to be on the campus unchaperoned at
that hour.
However, the three Delta Alpha
men led Terry to the seclusion of ft
boathouse on the lake. Morton ha|i
the key and he had also rememberejjl
, to brine- candles for the _ lyuLereH
Terry sat on the only chair. SmltK
read the notes, Hinton read the refeifi
ences to the text books and Morton
applied the information as If actually
ramming It into Terry's helpless
brains.
It was one o'clock when Smith
turned the last page of his note book
and Terry, with cheeks flushed with
excitement and eyes heavy with sleep,
fairly staggered from the boathouse
to grope her way stealthily Into hor
dormitory corridor.
"I am so sleepy," she murmured as
she said good night to the men.
"No sleep for -you, young lady,"
warned Morton. "You have only begun
to work. Your case is hopeless,
but It is up to you to go into your
little room and study four hours
more." Then as the three men started
back to the fraternity house, Morton
said:
"What did a girl like Terry ever go
to college for, anyway?"
Terry Bell took the examination
and so did her three devoted tutors
But Terry took it In a daze, unperturbed
and apparently unruffled.
"Poor little girl," whispered Morton
to her as they made their way out of
the classroom to the camDus. "Rut
don't worry. Men never like girls that
are all brains. Tell you the truth, I
wouldn't care for a girl that conld
pass that examination. You are not
cut out for philosophy. You ought
to?"
"What?" coaxed Terry with that
teasing, helpless tone of hers.
"You ought to be on a pedestal with
some chap like me worshiping you.
That Is the kind of girl you are."
It was a week later and the Delta
Alpha men were spending their laBt
evening together before disbanding for
the summer.
"Have you heard the news?" asked
Leland Smith. "The news about Terry
Bell?"
"Yes," said Tom Hlnton, beaming.
Tom has Just consulted the bulletin
board in the registrar's office to fln 1
his examination ratings. "I call It a
case of hypnotism, pure and simple."
"Morton is a wonder," remarked
Leland, "If he can hypnotize a girl
like Terry Bell into consenting to
marry him."
Tom Hlnton's smile changed to
gloom as he manifested his surprise
In a long, low whistle.
"T a a. ? x. ?? ?? - -
?- iicuiu mm, ne said.
"What I referred to Is the fact that
Terry Bell got the highest mark In
Dorkay*s exam, and you and I and
Nalrae came out near the middle.
You see, we each of us projected all
we knew on the blank of Terry's
mind, and so she knew as much as
the three of us put together. But I
don't see why she chose Morton. I
proposed myself a few days ago."
"Shake, old man." consoled Leland
Smith. "I proposed the day of the
examination. But Morton wins this
time."

The night when Ramon Baeza
Blipped from hla saddle in front oi
the ranch house, Cecilia felt the first
thg at her heartstrings since she had
to Texas.
Pour years ago it was now. She
had been eighteen then. Bob, her
brother, had been running bachelor's
hall for three years, while his four
Bisters stayed back home in Vermont,
as Bob said, wasting their time while
their one and only brother pined for
lack of gentle company down in tho
wilds. So Cis, as he called her, had
been the one who felt the call of
duty.
"And she ain't never been sorry,"
Bob told Senor Baeza that first night
as they stood together out on the
adobe porch smoking in fraternal
fashion. "I've got more cattle than
I'll even count. The beef trust never
hits me, and it'll all go to Cis when
i casn in. uon t want to Duy any
horses, do you?"
Ramon shook his head.
"I am not North for buying. 1
travel to Corpus Christi to bring
my Dolores from the convent there.
When we return this way, 1 will show
you the rose of Mexico, senor."
Then came a still twilight hour,
with a slip ot a new moon showing
faintly in the amber and jade sky
and two horses coming up the road,
with the senor and his girl sister.
Cls ran down to meet them and took
Dolores in her arms. Bob stood
watching them both, his keen gray
eyes half closed.
"Such a child, senor," Cis cried, in
her brisk, hopeful way. "Why is she
so sad?"
"We have lost our father in the
war, back in Chihuahua," he told her,
resting one booted foot on the steps.
"Our mother lived a month afterward,
so we two are alone. You must be
very sweet to her, my senorita."
Cls flushed at the caressing tone
and the look in his eyes.
'T love her even now," she answered.
"I wish you both could stay
here awhile."
Bob would not listen to them going
for a week at least. Big, long-legged
Bob, twenty-nine years old, with the
fiber of rock-ribbed Vermont in his
being, would flush to the roots of his
curly, straw-colored hair every time
the senor spoke of leaving.
One day in the garden, while Cis
worked among her rose bushes and
sparse pansy beds, Dolores followed
'her around.
' "J* * ft ho vp a brother, is
Lit not?" she sighed. "We must be1
rverv loval to th?m for thAV n?oH iiq
greatly. if I were to marry?certainly
I will never marry?but if I were to
marry, Ramon would almost die."
Cecilia's bands went faster.
"They're fearfully dependent creatures,"
she answered. "Bob wouldn't
know his head from *his heels if I
wasn't right there to tell him which
was which. I'll have to stay right
here and take care of him."
"But if he should love, senorlta? It
would be very hard for you?"
"No, it wouldn't. I'd go back home
and teach school again."
"And you would not miritl at all?"
Something in the eager. Joyous tone
made Cis look up. It had not occurred
to her that Bob might be interested
in this Blender, dark-eyed girl from
over the border. And her own face
grew tender as she smiled up at her.
"Why, I guess I shouldn't mind;
not if she was mighty sweet."
Down the road there came the
sound of horses galloping up from
the south below the roll of land that
sheltered the ranch.
Curly Barton was the leader. As
he talked to Bob, he looked over
where (Ms stood and waved his hat
to her, but she stood silent, chin up,
waiting.
There had been a fight along the
border. Curly said. Rustlers had
stolen over and cut out over a hundred
horses. His cowboys had pursued
them and there had been a running
tight. Five men lay dead down
the wash, their faces upturned to the
sunlight. It had been decided best
for the community at large to drive
every last Mexican back over the line.
And they had heard that Bob had a
couple there.
"Yes. 1 have," Bob said calmly.
"The young lady I am going to marry
and her brother. What you got to
say to that. Curly?"
Dolores heard, and her hand
reached out for Cis.
"You got all the horses back?"
asked Bob. Curly grinned reminiscently.
"Yep. And some of their's, too."
"Then drop it. These- are my
guests." He stood watching the boys
ride on, and Baeza came toward him.
"They would have shot me, yes?" he
asked genially. "You are very kind,
senor. very faithful. 1 am no bandit,
iiu it^uuuiuiiiHi. i nave utscii yiuiidered
alike by Villa and the others.
It has been peace here at your ranch.
I have lingered iecause I love your
sister. I have already told her, but
she is loyal and Lender-hearted. She
win not leave you alone, she says."
Bob leaned back his head and
laughed.
"I got the same answer last night
from Dolores, but atlll 1 got her
promise. You are slow. Maeza. Go
tell her now we will make It a double
wedding."
