Most uncomfortably astonished
Ramsey took his hands out of his pock
ets, picked a leaf from a liluc hush be
side the path, and put the stem of the
leaf seriously Into a corner of his
mouth, before finding anything to say
"Well?well, all right." he finally responded.
Tit tell you?if it s anything
I know about."
"You know about It," said Dora.
"Tha- is. you certainly do if you were
at your 'frat' ineet?og last night
Wurp Vi?n V
"Y?-s. I was there," Ramsey answered,
wondering whjit in the world
she wanted to know, tiiough he supposed
vaguely that It must be something
about Colburn, whom he had
several times seen walking with her.
"Of course I couldn't roll you much."
he added, with an afterthought. "You
see, a good deal that go.-1* on at a 'frat'
meeting Isn't supposed to be talked
about."
"Yes," she said, selling faintly,
though with a satire that missed him.
"I've been a member of a sorority since
September, and I think I have an Idea
of what ccukl he tola or not told.
Suppose we walk on, If ycu don't mind.
My question needn't embarrass you."
Nevertheless, as they slowly went on
together, Itamsey was embarrassed.
Jie felt "queer." They had known
enct. ..fher so long; in a way had
shared m> much, sitting dally for years
near each other and undergoing the
* same outward experiences; they had
almost "grown up together." yet this
was the first time they had ever talked
together or walked together.
"Well?" he said. "If you want to
ask anything it's all right for me to
tell you?well. I Just as soon, I guess."
"It lias nothing to do with the secret
proceedings of your 'frat,'" said Dora,
primly. "What I want to ask about
has been talked of all over the place
today. Everyone has been saying it
was your 'frat' that sent the first telegram
to members of the government
offering support in case of war with
Germany. They say you didn't even
wait until today, hut sent off a message
last night. What I wanted to
ask you was whether this story is true
or not?''
"Why, yes," said Ramsey, mildly.
"That's what we did."
She uttered an exclamation, a sound
of grief and of suspicion confirmed.
"Ah! I was afraid so!"
" 'Afraid so?* What's the matter?"
he usked. and because she seemed excited
and troubled, lie found himself
not quite so embarrassed as he had
been at first; fAr some reason hei agitation
made him feel easier. "What
was wrong about that?"
"Oh. It's all so shocking and wicked
and mistaken!" she cried. "Even
the faculty has been doing it. and half
the other 'frats' and sororities! And
it was yours that started It."
"Yes, we did." he said, thoroughly
? puzzled. "We're the oldest 'frat' here,
and of course"?he chuckled modestly
?"of course we think we're the best.
T>o you mean you believe we ought
to've sat TVack and let somebody else
start it?"
"Oh, a;i!" sl> answered, vehemently.
"Nobody *vtglit to have started It!
That's the trouble; don't you see? II
nobody had started it none of it might
have happened. The rest mightn't
have caught it. It mightn't have got
into their heads. A war thougtit is the
most contagious thought in the world;
hut if it can be kept from starting, it
can he kept from being contagious

pretending?I see that now!''
"I guess he must 'a' been," sail
Itamsey. with admirable simplicity
"He didn't talk about anything lik
that last night. He was us much fo
if as anybody."
"I've no doubt!"
Ramsey made bold to look at he
out of the side of his eye. and as sh
was gazing tensely forward he contin
ued h!s observation for some time. Sli

I for those now fully crown and noticeable
eye-winkers of hers were subject
. ( to fluctuations Indicating such a
- threat. She looked "nun, anu nam
sey was touched. There was something
? human about her, then, after all. And
i If he hud put his feeling Into words at
. the moment, he would have said that

ole girl, for a few minutes sometime?'
better than he'd always thought he
. could.
"Well," he said, "Colburn prob'ly
. wouldn't want to hurt your feelings
or anything. Colburn?'*
"He? He didn't! I haven't the
i fahitest personal interest in what he
did."
'Oh!" said Ramsey. "Well, excuse
me; I thought prob'ly you were sore
because he'd jollied you about this
pacifist stuff, and then?"
"No!" she said, sharply. "I'm not
thinking of his having agreed with,
me and fooling me about it. He just
warded to make a pleasant impression
on a girl, and said anything he thought
wouP* lease her. I don't cure whether
lie thus things like that or not. What
I care about Is that the principle
didn't reach him and that lie mocked
it .l I don't care about a petty treachery
to me, personally, but I?"
Fraternal loyalty could not quite
brook this. "Rrotlier Colburn Is a per!
fectly honor'ble man." said Ramsey,
l* solemnly. "He is one of the most
i honor'ble men in this?"
"Of course!" she cried. "Oh, can't
[ I make you understand that I'm not
i condemning him for a little flattery to
me? 1 don't care two straws for Ids
showing that I didn't Iniluence him.
i He doesn't interest me, please underi
stand."
Ilainsey was altogether perplexed.
"Well, I don't see what makes you go
, for him so .hurd, then."
"I don't."
"But you said he was trench?"
"I don't condemn him for it," she insisted,
despairingly. "Don't you see
the difference? I'm not condemning
anybody; I'm only lamenting."
"What about?"
"About ail of you that want war!"
i "My golly!" Ramsey exclaimed.
"You don't think those Dutchmen
were right to drown babies and?"
"No! I think they were ghastly
murderers! I think they were detestable
and fiendish and monstrous and?"
"Well, then, my goodness! What do
you want?"
"I don't want war!"
"You don't?"
' "I want Christianity!" she cried. "I
can't think of the Germans without
hating them, and so toduy, when all
the world is Jiatlng them, I keep myself
from thinking of them as much as
I can. Already half the world is full
of war; you want to go to war to
' make things r?ght, but it won't; it will
only make mere war!"
"Well. I?"
"Don't you see what you've done,
you boys?" she said. "Don't you see
what you've done with your absurd
telegram? That started the rest: they
thought they all hud to send telegrams
like that."
"Well, the faculty?"
"Even they mightn't have thought
of it if it hadn't been for the first one.
' Vengeance is the most terrilkie
: thought; once you put it into people's
: minds that they ought to have it, it
: runs away with them."
' "Well, It isn't mostly vengeance
; we're after, at all. There's a lot more
: to It than just getting even with?"
She did not heed him. "You're all
i blind! You don't see what you're do
ing; you don't even see what you've
done to this peaceful place here,
i You've fdled it full of thoughts of fury
L and killing and mnssncre?"
1 "Why, no," said ltamsey. "It was
| those hutch did that to us; and, be!
sides, there's more to it than you?"
"No, there isn't." she Interrupted.
"It's .lust the old brutal spirit that nnI
tions Inherit from the time they were
only tribes; it's the. tribe spirit, and

] out of them; men still have the brute

' "I don't think so," said Ramsey.
I "Americans don't love to fight; I don't
know about other countries, but we
don't. Of course, here and there,
there's some fellow that likes to hunt
around for scraps, but I never saw
more than three or four In my life thut

It, but that's different."
"No." she said. "I think you all
really love to tight."
Ramsey wa.i roused to become argumentative.
"I don't see where you get
the Idea. Colburn Isn't thut way, and
hack at school there wasn't a single
boy that was anything like that."
t "What!" She stopped, and turned
suddenly to face hltn.
"What's the matter?" he said, stop?
ping, too. Something he said had
r startled her, evidently,
r "How can you say such a thing?"
i. she cried. "You love to tight!"
"Me?"
e "You do! You love fighting. You
always have loved fighting."
!i lie was dumfouuded. "Why, I never
y had a tight in my life!"
She cried out in protest of such preil
varicatlon.
"Well, I never did," ho insisted,
e mildly.
r "Why. yon had a fight ahout me!"
"No, I didn't."
"With Wesley Render!"
r Ramsey chuckled. "That wasn't a
e fight!"
i- "It wasn't?"
e "Nothing like one. We were just

and I chased him off. Gracious, no;
that wasn't a fight!" k
"Hut you fought Llnskl only last r

Itamsey chuckled again. "That s
wasn't even as much like a fight as the t
one with Wesley. I just told this I
Llnskl I was goln' to give him a punch k
In the sn I just told him to look d
out because I was goln' to hit him, and 1
then I did It, and waited to see if he ?
wanted to do anything about it, and he h
didn't. That's all there was to It, and s
it wasn't any more like fighting than

She laughed dolefully. "It seems u
to mo rather more like it than that!"
"Weil, it wasn't." a
They had begun to walk on ngain,
and ltamsey was aware tlmt they had 8
passed the "frat house," where his ''
dinner was probably growing eold. lie r
was aware of this, but not sharply or
insistently. Curiously enough, he did v
not think about it. lie had begun to 1

a
tervlew, nnd in walking beside a girl,
even though the girl was Dora Yooura. f
He made no attempt to account to
himself for anything so peculiar.
For a while they went slowly to- s
gether, not speaking, and without des- ^
tinatlon, though Ramsey vaguely fook ,
it for grunted that Dora was going j
somewhere. Rut she wasn't. They |
emerged from the part of the small s
town closely built nbout the university H
nnd came out upon a bit of parked f]
land overlooking the river; und here j
Dora's steps slowed to an indeter- j
minute halt near a bench beneath a
maple tr?*e.
"I think I'll stay here a while," she
said; and as he made no response, she
asked: "Hadn't you better be going
back to your 'frat house' for your dinner?
I didn't mean for you to come L
out of your way with me; I only wanted
to get an answer to my question. (
You'd better be running back."
"Well?" t
He stood Irresolute, not sure that he |
wanted his dinner just then. It would j
have amazed him to face the fact de- j
llberately that perhaps he preferred
being with Dora Yocum to eating, j.
However, he faced no such fact, nor |
any fact, but lingered.
"Well?" he said again. I
"You'd better go."
"I guess I cun get my dinner pretty j
near any time. I don't?" He had a s
thought. "Did you?" t
"Did I what?" t
"Did you have your dinner before I
met you?"
"No." *
"Well, aren't you?"
She shook her head. "I don't want (
any."
"Why not?"
"I don't think people have very much
appetite today and yesterday," she
said, with the hint of a sad laugh, "all {
over America." ^
"No; I guess that's so." j
"It's too terrible!" she said. "I j
ran't sit and eat when I think of the (
Lusitania?of nil those poor, poor peo- (
pie strangling In the water?"
"No; I guess nobody can eat much, (
If they think about that." (
"And of what It's going to bring, If i
we let It," she went on. "As If thi a <
killing weren't enough, we want to add i
our killing! Oh, that's the most tec- (
rible thing of all?tl*> thing It makes <
within us! Don't yo.f understand?"
She turned to him appeallngly, and
he felt queerer than *ver. Dusk had
fallen. Where they n?ond, under the
young-leaved maple trw, there wus but
a faint lingering of alterglow. nnd In '
this mystery her faco glimmered wan
and sweet; so tnat namsey, jusr men,
was like one who dlucovers an old '

I. Asa's Reformation ivv. i-o;.
Asa was the grandson of Kehobonm,
Both his grandfather and father
favored idolatry, hut in spite of this
record of his ancestors, Asn had a
will of ills own, an though roung
when lie came to the throne, Inngurnted'
a campaign of reform which
brought great good. He not only had
the handicap of the Idolatry and immortality
fostered by the two former
kings, hut he had to contend against
the influence of his mother who hud
encouraged immoral worship (I Kings
15:13). In order to carry out his reformatory
measures L* had To wrest
authority from her by deposing her.
Asa did that which was good and right
In the eyes of the Lord (v. 12).
1. Cleared the land of Idolatrous
emblems und Images (vv. 3, 5). (1)
Strange altars. These were the altars
devoted to other gods. (2) High
places. These were places where unlawful
sacrifices were offered. (3)
Broke down the Images. These were
upright stones connected with Idolatrors
worship. (4) Cut down the
groves. These were trees or poles
connected with tree worship. He had
all these relics of idolatry destroyed
In Jerusalem and other cities tliroughut
his kingdom.
2. Comm. ded Judah to seek trie
Lord (v. 4). He knew that If the reformation
was to be effective it must
be by tiie positive seeking after and
worshiping of God, accompanied by
obedience to His commandments. Destructive
work uvaiJs little unless followed
by constructive.
II. Asa's Defensive Preparations
(vv. 6-S).
1. Built fortified cities (v. 6). The
cities are not named, but the meaning,
doubtless, Is that it was a general system
of defense which Involved the
cities at strategic points.
2. He erected walls about the
cities (v. 7). These were usually of
stone. Upon the walls were observation
towers from which the position
and movements of the enemy could be
seen, and from which defensive warfare
could be waged.
3. Made gates and barred them
(v. "). The reason ho assigns for
these defensive preparations was that
they had sought the Lord God. Those
who really trust God will make every
effort to provide defense.
4. Had an army of spearmen (v. 8).
These spearmen were also protected
with large shields. The army was
made up of 480,000 brave men. They
were prepared to wage an offensive
as well as a defensive war.
III. Asa's Victory Over Zerah, the
Ethiopian (vv. 0-12).
1. Asa set the battle in array (v.
10). He went out to meet the enemy.
r"> first made a disposition of his
manna r?f dofpnsn. This WAS Wisdom
on his pnrt. Intelligent fnlth moves
the possessor to do first that which
Is within his power.
2. Asa's prayer (vv. 11, 12). He
cried unto the Lord. He sought the
source of national power. In this
prayer note (1) his conscious helplessness.
As he faced the Egyptian army
two to one against him, he was clearly
conscious of his Impotency. The. first
requisite In obtaining help from God
Is conscious weakness. The Christian
conquers not by self-reliance, hut by
self-distrust and faith In God. (2) Appeals
to God for help. He knew that
though they were helpless before fhs
mighty enemy, with God's help they
could win the victory. One man with
God Is a mnjorlty. (3) Reposes faith
In God. The worrf "rest" means tc
lean upon?to cast the entire weight
upon. In the measure that we renllzf
our need of support will we lear
hard upon God. (4) Advanced cou
rageously. He went forth depending
upon God to fight for him. Reel faith
does not wait until It sees Its way
clear, hut goes forth expecting God tc
clear the. way. (5) 1 lung himself
upon God's arms. "O Lord, thou art
our God." His cause was God's cause
If God has taken us for His people,
and If we have taken Him for our God
no enemy can prevail ngalnst us. May
we experimentally say, "Thou art ray
God." nnd hear IHm say, "I am thy
God!"
3. The Egyptians smitten (v. 12).
The enemy fled !>efore Isrenl and could
not recover themselves.
Inrlnmont of Chrlgt.
The Judgment of Christ, the Son oi
Man, Is the revelation of things a*
they are. His Judgment does noi
ehnnge the Judged; It simply show*
them. It Is not, as fnr as we enn eon
celve, a conclusion drawn from thf
balancing of conflicting elements or e
verdict upon a general Issue. Thf
Judgment of God Is the perfect man!
festatlon of truth. The punishment ot
God Is the necessary action of thf
awakened conscience. The judgment
Is pronounced by the sinner himselt
and he inflicts Inexorably his own sen
tence.?Bishop Westcott.
Be of Good Cheer.
Be of good cheer, then. Let thl*
be always plain to thee, that this
piece of land Is like any other; nnc
that all things here tire the same wit!
things on the top of n mountain, ot
on the seashore, or wherever thnt
choosest to he. For thou wilt fine
just what Plato says, "Dwelling with
in the walls of a city as in a shep
herd's fold on a mountain."? Marcut
Aurelius Antoninus.
JET IN HEADDRESS Is

Bracelet Encircles Arm at Wrist and
Above Elbow, Connected by
String of Beads.
Jet used singly or combined with |
pearls makes up some of the most |
striking combs and headdresses, either |
seen In the shops or worn by smart ?
Farlslennes, observes a fashion writer,
A Jet comb noticed recently wus set ' "
with two rows of pearls, the upper row j
two sizes larger than the lower. The 1 |
touch of chic, however, lay In the fact
that the comb reached almost from ear i
to ear, giving a wonderful effect j |
against the durk red hair on which It
was worn.
A headdress made entirely from Jet
consists of a nnrrow band worn low on 1 ?
the forehead and having three circular |
ornaments overlapping each other at |
the front. At either side are Jet rings. ' |
which are as large as bracelets and , f
whleh irlvp tlm ikfPoet nf mnnimnfll ear- I
rings. Accompanying tills headdress Is , :
a pair of Jet brucelets, one encircling |
the arm ut the wrist and the other \
above the elbow, and both connected by
a string of jet beads. The prematurely
white-haired woman who wore these
affected a one-piece dress of white velvet
