He never saw her again. She sent t
him a "picture postal" from Oconomo- s
woe, Wisconsin, which his father dls- p
engaged from the family mail, one u
morning at breakfust, and considerate- ^
ly handed to him without audible com- ],
inent. Upon it was written. "Oh. you g
Ramsey!" This was the last of Milla. v
Just before school opened, in the
autumn, Sadie Clews made some revelations.
"Milla did like you," said
Sadie. "After that time you Jumped
In the creek to save her she liked you
better than any boy In town, and I
guess if it wasn't for her counsin Milt
up in Chicago she would of liked you
the best anywhere. I guess she did,
anyway, because she hadn't seen him
for about a year then.
"Well, that afternoon she went
away I was over there and took in
everything that was goin' on, only she
made me promise on my word of honor
1 wouldn't even tell Albert. They j
didn't get any wire from the uncle
about the touring car; it was her coucln
Xfllt thot 4iitnnn/1 nn tfia trnin nml
came down and nxed it all up for |
Mil la to go on the trip, and every- i
thing. You see, Ramsey, she was
turned hack u couple of times In school
before she came in our class and I j
don't know how old she is and she j
don't look old yet, but I'm pretty sure
she's ut least eighteen, and she might
be over. I didn't think such a great
deal of this Milt's looks myself, but
he's anyway twenty-one years old, and
got a good position, and all their family
seem to think he's just fine! It
wasn't his father that took in the tour- ?
lng car on the debt, like she said she
was writing you; it was Milt himself.
He started out In business when he t
was only thirteen years old. and this t>
trip he was gettin' up for his father ]
and mother and Milla was the first v
vacation he ever took. Well, of course t
she wouldn't like my tell in' you, but
I can't see the harm of it, now every- t
thing's all over." f
"All?all over? You mean Mllla's
going to be?to be married?"
"She already is," said Sadie. "They j
got married at her Aunt Jess and Un- |
cle Purv's house, up In Chicago, last .
Thursday. Yes, sir; that quiet, llttie |
Mllla's a regular old married woman (
by this time, I expect, R^Tnsey!"
When he got over the shock, which (
was not until the next day. one pre- (
dominating feeling remained: It was {
a gloomy pride?a pride in his proven
maturity. He was old enough, it ap- ,
peared. to have been the same thing j
as engaged to a person who was now s
a Married Woman. His manner thence- ,
forth showed an added trace of seriousness
and self-consideration. f
Having recovered his equipoise and
something more, he entirely forgot that
moment of humble admiration he had
felt for I>ora Yocum on the day of his
flattest prostration. When he saw her
sitting In the classroom, smiling brightly
up at the teacher, the morning of
the school's opening In the autumn,
all his humility had long since vanished
and she nppeared to him not
otherwise than as the scholar whose
complete proficiency had always been
so Irksome to him. j
"Look at her!" he muttered to him- j
self. "Same ole Teacher's Pet!" I
Now and then, as the days and seasons
passed, and Dora's serene prog- i
ress continued, never checked or even
flawed, there stirred within him some
lingcrlngs of the old determination
to "show" her; and he would conjure
up a day-dream of Dora in loud lamentation,
while he led the laughter I
of the spectators. But gradually his ' <
feeling about her came to be merely
a dull oppression. He was tired of j
having to l<>ok at her (as ne stated 1
It) and he thanked the Lord that the
time wouldn't be so long now until j
he'd he out of that ole school, and
then all he'd have to do he'd Just take 1
rare never to wulk by her house. It
was easy enough to use some other
street when he had to go down town,
"The good ole class of NlneteenFourteen
Is about gone," he said to
Fred Mitchell, who was still his most I
intimate friend.when they reached the I
senior year. "Yes. sir; It's held to- '
gethor a good many years Fred, but <
after June It'll be busted plum up.
and 1 hope nobody starts a move to i <

I can stand and there's some I can't, j
but there's one I just won't! If we 1
ever did call a reunion, that ole Yo- i

and run the whole shebang, and that's I
where I'd resign! You know, Fred. JI

teneflt of graduating from this ole
school? It's never seeln' Dora Yocum

This was ugaln his theme as he sat
iy the same friend's side, In the roar
ow of the class at Commencement,
Istenlng to the delivery of the Valellctory,
"Thinks she's Just soohllme,
lon't she!" he whispered morosely.
'She wouldn't trade with the Fresh
lent of the United States right now.
S'ever mind! Just about a hnlf-anlour
more and that's the last o' you,
de girl! Yes, sir, Fred; one thing we
ran feel pretty good over: this Is
vhere we get through with Dora Yorum!"
Ramsey and Fred had arranged to
oom together at Greenfield, the seat
if the state university, and they made
he short Journey In company the folowlng
September. They arrived hlarlous,
anticipating pleasurable ex'Iteiuents
In the way of "fraternity"
iledglngs and Initiations, encounters
vith sophomores, cluss meetings, and
lections; and, also, they were not absolutely
without interest in the matter
if Girls, for the state university was
o-educatlonal, and It was but natural
o expect iii so broad a field, all new
o them, a possible vision of something
ather thrilling. They whispered
heerfully of all these things during
he process of matriculation, and
Igued the registrar's book on a fresh
age; but when Fred had written his
lame under Itnmsey's and blotted It,
ie took the liberty of turning over the
enf to examine some of the auto:raphs
of their future classmates, I
written on the other side. Then he ut- j

ered an exclamation, more droll than
lolorous, though It affected to be wholy
the latter; for the shock to Fred
vas by no means so painful as it was
o his friend.
Ramsey leaned forward and read

. . . When thej- got back to their
feasant quarters at Mrs. Meigs', facng
the caTnpus, Ramsey was still unible
to talk of anything except the
amentable discovery; nor were his
ompanlon's burlesquing efforts to console
him of great avail, though Fred
lid become serious enough to point
iut that a university was different
'rom a high school.
"It's not like hnvin' to use one big
oom as a headquarters, you know,
tamsey. Everything's all split up, and
she might happen not be In a single
>ne of your classes."
"You don't know my luck!" the afllcted
boy protested. "I wish I'd gone
o Harvard, the way my father wanted
ne to. Why, this Is Just the worst
lulsance I ever struck! You'll see!
She'll be In everything there Is. Just
he way she was back home."
He appeared to be corroborated by
he events of the next day, when they
ittended the first meeting to organize
he new class. The masculine elenent
predominated, but Dora Yooum
,vns elected vice president. "You

the flattering agitations of being p
sought, and even hunted, by several
"fraternities" simultaneously desirous
of his becoming a sworn Brother, he
almost forgot her. After a hazardous
month the roommates fell Into the g
arms of the last "frat" to seek them,
and having undergone an evening of
outrage which concluded with touching
rhetoric and an oath taken at
midnight, they proudly wore Jeweled
symbols on their breasts and were
free to turn part of their attention
to other affairs, especially the affulrs
of the Eleven.
However, they were Instructed by j
the older brethren or tneir uraer, i
whose duty It was to assist In the |
proper maneuvering of their young ca- 2
reers, that, although support of the Iv
'varsity teams was Important, they 1
must neglect neither the spiritual nor ^
the Intellectual by-products of undergraduate
doings. Therefore they be- iE
came members of the college Y. M. C.
A. and of the "Lumen Society." 01
According to the charter which It si
had granted Itself, the "Lumen Sort- (
ety" was an "Organization of male E
and female students"?so "advanced" ic
was this university?"for the develop- hi
ment of the powers of debate and or- s<
atory, Intellectual and sociological di
progress, and the discussion of all mat- s<
ters relating to philosophy, metaphys- s<
les, literature, art, and current events." ai
A statement so formidable was not h;
without a hushing effect upon Messrs. n
Milhollnnd and Mitchell; they wenf ft
to their first "Lumen" meeting In a
state of fear and came away little "]
reassured. al
"I couldn't get up there." Ramsey tl
[ declared, "I couldn't stand up there Is
before all that crowd and make a
speech, or debate In a debate, to save p
my soul and gizzard! Why, I'd just ^
keel right over and hnf to be caroled
I out." ?
"Well, the way I understand It."
! said Fred, "we can't get out of It. The
! seniors in the 'frat' said we had to
1 join, and they said we couldn't resign,
either, after we hail Joined. They 11
i said we lust had to go through It, and a
after a while we'd pet used to It and ?
not inind It so much." J"
"I will!" Ramsey Insisted. "I
couldn't any more stand up there on *
my feet and get to spoutln' about
sociology and the radical metempsychorus
of the mettyphyslcal bazoozum ?
than I could fly a flyln' machine. Why, ^
I ? o
"Oh, that wasn't anything," Fred ?
interrupted. "The only one that talked ^
like that, he was that Rllckens; he's
a tutor, or something, and really a f1
member of the faculty. Most o' the 1
others Just kind of blah-hlahhed *
around, nnd what any of 'em tried 1
to get off their chests hardly amounted
to terribly much."
"I don't cure. I couldn't do It at .
a'l!" t]
"Well, the way it looks to me," Fred
observed, "we simply pot to! From
what they tell me, the freshmen got
to do more than anybody. Every oth- ^
er Friday night, It's all freshmen nnd
nothin' else. You pet n postal card F
on Monday morning in your mall, and
It says 'Assignment' on it nnd?nnd?
then It's got written underneath what
you hnf to do the next Friday night
?oration or debate, or maybe Just d
rend from some old book or something, si
I guess we got to stand up there and F
try, anyway." o
"All right," said Ramsey. "If they u
want me to commit suicide they can h
send me one o' their ole 'Assignments.' tl
I won't need to commit suicide, though,
I guess. All I'll do, I'll Just fall over r<
In a fit, nnd stay In it." o
And. In truth, when he received his a
first "Assignment." one Monday morn- tl
Ing, a month later, he seemed In a a
fair way to fulfill his prophecy. The h
attention of his roommate, who sat 11
' at a window of their study, was at- o
tracted by sounds of strangulation, h
"What on earth's the matter, Ram- a
sey?" t
"Look! Look at this!" tl
Fred took the card and examined It ti
with an amazement gradually merg- a

ceptible:

"YES" AND "NO"
gpiIESE two Mtle words, yes and
I no, with which men have heen
wrestling for apes, are vocables of
enormous menninp, capable of settling
all the siinpJe and complex problems
In life, when used with utmost wisdom
und likewise with utmost caution.
In Washington, the stutesmen who
were debating and udjusting the question
of limited armament found
It difficult ut times to apply "yes" and
"110" to the interrogations which
naturally arose In the discussion, and
in which the whole world is vitally Interested.
To use these monosyllnbles at the
right time and In the proper place is
the earnest wish of every fair-minded
man or woman who would have "peu<^e
and good-will on earth."
But to do so In trtuh and mercy,
when dissension is rife and righteousness
seems to be tumbling noisily like
mountains in an earthquake, requires
the wisdom of Solomon and the patience
of Job, accompanied with divine ;
guidance.
How many lives of promising young
men and women have heen blighted
by the indiscriminate playing of "yes"
and "no"?
How ninny nations have gone to war
through the utterance In anger of a
ruthless "yes" when a complacent "no"
authoritatively spoken, might have
saved millions of precious lives, untold
sorrows and Inestimable treasure?
He or she who mnkes merry with
these small words without giving
thought to the Immensity of their power
to create or destroy, Is risking
everything In this life, and possibly
In the life to come.

DOING THINGS RIGHT
?QH, IT'LL DO!"
^ How many times do you suppose
you have heard this sentence
spoken by those who should know better?
How often have you said the
same thing yourself when you knew
that you'd never be entirely satisfied
when you announced your half-hearted
okehT
Things are either right or they're
wrong. There can't be any half-way
ground if one wishes to enjoy to the
fullest his own handiwork or the happiness
of knowing that he has done a
valuable service for mankind. When
ever a person quits laboring at anything
before the Job Is entirely satisfactorily
finished, there Is certain to
follow disappointment and a sense of
resentment against one's own carelessness.
And whenever one In authority
okehs the work done by others by saving
that "It'll do," neither he nor those
engaged on the Job will ever be
pleused as greatly as If the task hnd
been perfectly done.
One of the chief reasons why many
go through life unhappy and complain
of their rough pathways. Is the
inclination they display by aiming too
often for "what'll do" rather than aiming
constantly for the very best.
Fortunately there Is a growing tendency
to demand perfect goods and
perfect work. There has been entirely
too much Imperfection In both finished
materials and In the way work Is done.
Hut, perhaps, after all this has been a
good thing. If It has caused an
awakening to a sense of the importance
of absolute perfection, the dlfflMOTI

renkers ahead?these things plunge
js Into gloom.
And we, In our turn, pass the gloom
ilong. For our friends, seeing the
ilack and foreboding faces that we
vear, grow gloomy too.
One sullen-faced man in an office
will sometimes spoil the day for the
jntlre working force.
One croaker on board a ship In a
dorm may send the whole passenger
list Into something very like a panic.
Nobody loves a gloomy man?but
everybody listens 'to him?and looks
at him.
The prophet of evil Is never without
an audience.
Poe, in his remarkable poem shows
how the raven, by crooking the word
"nevermore" was aide to drive a luckless
poet almost to the verge of insanity.
Continual gloom Is not good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
would be good for the green anl blossoming
things upon the surface of the
earth.
We all need sunshine and a great
deal of It.
It Is not Decessnry to go about continually
telling people how happy we
are, like Pollyanna, but we can at
least keep our trouble to ourself, and
not look as If we were limping along

The gloomy man or woman In a
home destroys the happiness of an entire
family?and usually drives the
children out on the streets, where at
least there Is air and sunshine, and
maybe now and tnen a hurdy-gurdy.
The reason the jazz Is popular, that
the comic supplement sells by the million
copies, and that the comedian gets
a thousand dollars a week Is because
we will do anything to get rid of
glooin.
It Is a burden on life, a menace to
human happiness. If you are a gloom
addict, change your mode of thought.
You are as much of a menace to the
community In which you move as was
"Typhoid Mary" to hers.

THREE <y MINE
"P YES-O'-BROWN and Sunny Hair,
And Dlckey-Wlnktum-Wee,
Two beside my easy chair
And one upon my knee.
Thus the evenings come end go
Till Mr. Sandman'8 call
Sets three wee heads to nodding low
And tired eyelids fall.
"This is the way to Sleepytown?
Jump into bed and cuddle down!"
Kyes-o'-Brown wants "an'mal tales,"
Of bears and woolly things;
While Sunny Hair most loudly wane
For whirr of fairy wings.
But DIckey-Winktum-Wee Just winks
His laughing eyes at me?
I wonder what the young man thinks
Perched there upon my knee?
'So sing hey ho for Sleepytown?
Jump into bed and cuddle down!"
'Once there was a big black bear"?
Two pairs of eyes grow bright;
i'wo forms press closer to my chair
As if to banish fright. %
'And once there was a brave yonni
boy"?
Then dimpled faces shine,
ivaiio r u-lth fnlrv lore add Joy
To those sweet tots of mine.
Pint Dickey-Wlnktum-Wee just crows
Till oft to Sleepytown he goes.
'Now I Iny me down to sleep"?
The good-night prayers are said.
The fleecy clouds of slumber creep
Above each little head.
fiyes-o'-Brown and Sunny Hair,
And Dickey-Wlnktum-Wee?
jod guard and keep from ev'ry care
My little ones for me.
^afe In the shades of Sleepytown? .
Tucked In bed and the light turnef
down.
