R amsltilll lll il small Ramsey Milhoiland Is watch ing the "Decoration Day Parade" ini the home towni. The old -gentle man, a veteran of the Clvil war, endeavors to impressO5 the young ster with the significance of the great conflIct, and many years aft erward the boy was to remomber his words with startling vividness. In the schoolroom, a few years afterward, Ramsey is not distin guished for remiarknie ability, though his pronounced dislikes are arithmetic, "RecItations" and Ger man. In sharp contrast to Ram sey's backwardness is the precocity of little Dora Yocum, a young lady whom In his bitterness he denomi nateof "Treacher's Pet." In high school, where he and Dora are classmates, Ramsey continues to feel that the girl delights to mani fest her superiority, and the vin dictiveness he generates becomes, alarming, culminating in the reso lution that some day he will "show" her. At a class picnic Ram sey is captured bag and baggage by Milla 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 universitr and there is Dora Yocum again. Ramsey meets Dora in a World War debate and is in gloriously vanquished. Ramsey gives Linki "a peach of a punch on the snoot"-Why% CHAPTER Vila-Continued. --10 "WMell, I'm glad you gave that Lnski a fine little punch, Brother Miihoi land," he said at the door, "It won't do you any harm in the 'frat,' or with the Lumen, eithe'r. And dlon't be dis couraged about your debating. You'll learn. Anybody might have got rat tIed by having to argue against as clever and good-looking a girl as that !" The roominutes gave each other a look of serious puz'zlemnent ats thie door Closed(. "Well, Brother' Colhurn is a mighty nilce fellowv," Fred said, "lie's kind of funny, though." gamsey assented, anr then, as the two prepared for bed, they entered in to a further d nscuisei of their senior friend. They liked him "all right," nthey said, but lhe certainly must kind of queer, ad they couldn't just see how he had "evor managed to get where he was" in the "frat" anid the Lumen aid the university. S e s e d " w damsey passed the slightly distig red Linski on the campus next day without betraying any embarrassiment or making a sign of recognition, Fred Mitchell told his roommate, chuckling, othat Linski ha1 sworin to "get" io, ant, nt knowing Fred's a.iliations, had mad him g h.e coniant of his -ah, Fred had given his blessing, he taid ponae fbd they enterad dInd Linski to use a bi'ck. "Inle'll hilt you on the head with It," said the right earted red, al lig back upon this oltd Joke. '"Thlen you' can catch It its it bounces or and thrw It backu at him."' eowever, Linsi proved to e mere ly an epilsode, not onliy so fair as llam sey was oicened but in the Lumen atum in the uiiversity as wel.

"Oh, well," said Fred. "What do we care what happens to Chicago! Come on, let's behave real wild, anad go on over to the 'Tern ant get us a couple of- egg sandwiches and sass-, prilly." Ramsey was willing. After the strain of the "miid-year Exams" in February, the chums lived a free-hearted life. They had settled Into the ways of their world ; they had grown used to it, and It had grown used to them ; there was no longer any ignominy in being a freshman. They romped upon the catupus and seine times rioted harmlessly about the streets of the town. In the evenings they visited their fellows and brethren and were visited in turn ; horseplay prevailed, but collegiate gossip had its turn, and sometimes they looked so far ahead as to talk vaguely of their plans for professions or business though to a freshman this concerned an almost unthinkably distant pros pect. "I guess I'll go in with my fa ther, in the wholesale drug business," said Fred. "My married brother ni ready is in the firm, and I Suppose they'll give me a show--send me out on the road a year or two first, maybe, to try me. - Then I'm going to marry some little cutie and settle flown. What you goin' to do, Iamsey? Go to law school, and then come back and go in your t'ather's office?" "I don't know. Guess so." It was always Fred who did most of the talking; Itamsey was quiet. Fred told the "frat seniors" that Ramsey was "developing a whole lot these lays ;" and he told Itamsey hinself that he could see a "big change" in Wh Loe L, him adin thtte prvmnYa e kril m 4o Itd lone thnFe id oke ---ff dhnLess LnisFor Who, who.
