r fr= "PEACH OF A PUNCH." Synopsis.?With his grandfather, small Ramsey MUholland is watching the "Decoration Day Parade" In the home town. The old gentleman. a veteran of the Civil war. endeavors to Impress the youngster with the significance of the great conflict, and many years afterward the boy was to remember his words with startling vividness. In the schoolroom, a few years afterward, Ramsey is not distinguished for remarkable ability, though his pronounced dislikes are arithmetic, "Recitations" and German. In sharp contrast to Ramsey's backwardness Is the precocity of little Dora Yocum. a young lady whom in his bitterness he denominates "Teacher's Pet." In high school, where he and Dora are classmates. Ramsey continues to feel that the girl delights to manifest her superiority and the vlndictlveness he generates becomes alarming, culminating in the resolution that some day he will "show" her. At a class picnic Ram. sey is captured bag and baggage by Mllla Rust, the class beauty, and endures the agonies of his first love. Ramsey's parents object to Milla and wish he'd taken up with Dora Yocum. Ramsey kisses Milla. Then Milla suddenly leaves town She marries. Ramsey enters the state university and there Is Dora Yocum again. Ramsey meets Dora in a World War debate and is lngloriously vanquished. I CHAPTER VII.?Continued. ?y?

Miss E Yocuin. Two minutes." "I waive them." said Dora, prlmlj "I submit that the affirmative has no refuted the argument of the negative. "Very well." With his gavel th< chairman sharply tapped the desk he fore him. "The question is now he fore the house. 'Resolved, that Ger many is both morally anil legally justl fied in her invasion of Belgium.'

It came from neither of the dt haters, who still remained standing a their desks until the vote settling thei comparative merits in argumen should l?e taken. The interruptioi was from the rear row of seats aion; the wall, where sat new members o the society, freshmen not upon th program of the evening. A loud ..asa voice was heard froin*this quarter, i loud hut nasal voice, shrill as well a nasal, and full of a strange hot pns sion. "Mr. Chairman!" it cried. "Look a-here. Mr. Chairman!

Shocked by such n breach of ordei and by the unseemly violence of th speaker, not only the chairman hu everyone else looked there. A short strong figure was on its feet, gesticit lating fiercely; and the head belnngin to it was a large one with too muc! curly black huir, a fiat swarthy fact shiny and not linmuculately shaven there was an impression of ill-chose clothes, too much fat red lip. too tnuc tooth, too much eyeball. Fred Mltchel recognized this violent Interrupter a one Ifinski, a fellow freshman who sa next him in one of his classes. "What' that cuss up to?" Fred wondered, an so did others. Linski showed them. He pressed forward, shoving himsel through the two rows in front of hit till he emerged upon the green carpe of the open spuce. and as he came, h was cyclonic with words. "You don't1 put no such stuff as thi over, 1 tell you!" he shouted in hi hot. nasa! voice. "This here's a fre country, and you call yourself a d< bating society, do you?

The outraged chairman was wholly at a loss how to denl with the "tin- , precedented situation"?so he defined S it. quite truthfully; and he continued to pound upou the desk, while other " clamors began to rival LInskl's; shouts ' , of "Put him out!" "Order!" "Shut up, Freshman!" "Turn imui over to the sophomores!"
