the conversation was theirs. They showered
upon Paddy the expressions or their admi-
alton; they loaded him with questions re-
garding the technical points of the game;
they made him the umpire Of their little dis
putes about the various points of play.
And Paddy with admirable politeness, re-
plied yes or no. as the occasion seemed to
demand and as a judge he achieved sue
cess never attained by the good Haroun al
Raschid, for he made each party to con-
troyersy believe that he had given de-
cision in her favor.
1t may be that they afterwards remem-
bered only what they themselves had said
To do that Is a charming popularity OF the
gentler sex, when 1t remembers anything at
all of conversation. Some Of the nice
things that were said on this occasion the
girls rightly credited to themselves, but a
generous half was transferred to Paddy's
account. The general verdict was admirably
rendered by Florence

Its no Swonder he can pitch ball. He does
1t with his head. My brother says so. Isn't

suit will be a great falling of In China's
imports from Europe and America, and 1t
will act as a sort Of protective tariff to
stimulate home production. There are now
on foot number Of schemes for the manu-
featuring Of foreign goods in China, and
some of the Chinese capitalists themselves
are seriously considering how they can
take advantage Of the present situation in
the building OF factories. The empire now
has a foreign trade Of something like
500 900 90 a year. Heretofore more than
half of this has consisted of imports. The
goods have been shipped into the open
ports of the country and from thence car
ried in junks. on camels. on wheelbarrows
and in Chinese carts all over the empire.
Far beyond the Chinese wall. on the Dor

you what you must do
He proceeded to outline his plan. In the
first place Lawrence was to study in future
on the roof OF the house during the day

gets pretty warm, l believe. in the middle
of the day when the suns on it, Nobody
can see you up there and you can lay on
all the color you need"
Lawrence groaned.
Then you must take a lot Of exercise. %
continued Harry. Paddy Is filling out a
good deal. and you'll have to keep up with
him."
But my dear brother" Lawrence re-
piled. II can't find time for all this The
over indulgence in physical exercise which
you recommend will encroach upon my
hours Of study.
Cant you study and exercise at the
same time? Get some light dumb bells and
swing them while you're grinding Greek
Then you won't be wasting your time alto
gether with the blasted stuff. And, besides
you were a little heavier you'd be an ideal
man for foot ball"
Lawrence frightened at this last remark
and Harry took it for hopeful sign
by Jove." he cried. lit would be a great
thing If l could get both of you into shape
for the game. We could play 1t on Har-
ward in great shape. We'd have one of you
half killed in practice just before the Hair
ward game. Probably 1t would have to be
you. because Paddy would be the better
man. Then I'd put you in the hospital and
let everybody know that you were there.
We'd have reliable doctors certificates to
show that you couldn't possibly play again
during the season. There'd be Jubilee in
Cambridge and Harvard money would come
out at odds on. Then at the last minute I'd
get You out of the hospital and hide you,
and Paddy could go into the game All Har-
ward would walk back from Springfield and
Yale would have money to burn after the
game. 1t would beat the trick we PLAYED
the first year l rowed on the crew. We got
an artist to paint boils on the backs of our
necks and the papers came out with a story
that we had been poisoned. The odds on
Harvard jumped to three to one; and then
we won the race by about a quarter of a
mile. AS a matter of fact, they hadn't been
in 1t from the first Of May to the day of the

steps surrounded by q dozen other girls
when he passed.
There was a shrill chorus of applause
and all the girls waved handkerchiefs.
Florence was 30 proud Of him that the
tears came into her eyes. She felt very
small and unimportant to be the sweet
heart of so distinguished a man. 1t seemed
to her that many Of the other girls looked
more worthy of the honor. They were tall
and queenly, while she was only five feet
four in high-heeled shoes. And then she
remembered that her persuasion had made
Lawrence what he was. But for her he
might never have been famous. And with
that thought she became so tall that she
could look over the heads Of all the other
girls and see what was going on, as well
as II they hadn't been there
Lawrence was forced to leave his ad-
mirers soon. and go to the training table
for dinner. 1t is well known that the

In spite of this fact many Of them are

he had not been well since his first en-
counter with a scientifically regulated diet.
1t may have been a twinge of dyspepsia
which turned his thoughts out Of the pleas
ant channel in which they had been run
ming. and made him feel dissatisfied with
the world as he arose from the table. To
him. just then, Florence was the world. so
he became dissatisfied with her. He had
seen the light In her eyes. the glow on her
cheeks, the ecstasy of pride when he went
by. All this came back to him, and not
pleasantly.
