The innocence which is founded on

The innocence which is founded on
ignorance must inevitably melt away
with the access of knowledge, like
snow in the rays of the sun; and, if
there is nothing more substantial to
take it's place, if there is no positive
support of firm principles and ster-
ling virtue in the mind and heart of
the youth rs he steps into manhood,
there is little hope for his future. The
knowledge of the world and the abil-
ity to deal with it should progress to-
yether, if the youth is to develop in

but he realized that life in these past
weeks was a very different thing
from that of the years before. The
hills about the little college town
had looked more beautiful in their
snowy wilderness against the win
ter's sky when he went with Miriam
to their weekly rambles.
On this December day, when Mir
lam had met Mary Sanborn, the girl
was unusually restless and unhappy
She could not study, and after wan.
dering aimlessly about the house fol-
some hours, she suddenly put on hel
hat, remembering some trifie she had
intended to buy at Ipsi, a few miles
distant Hastily putting the saddle
on her horse, she started off down
the road. This was Miriam's mode
of recreation, and no matter how
cold or stormy the day, she always
returned from her ride refreshed and
in good spirits. 1t was early in the
afternoon when she started.
"I'Il surely be back before dark,
she said, as she left the house, but
the hours wore away, and she die
not return. A binding snow storm
had set in with the approach of even
ing. 1t was difficult to discern OBJ
iects in the gathering dusk, and the
flakes fell thicker and thicker as the
darkness became more intense. Sc

thing by the roadside-a dark object
strangely like human form. In al
instant he had dismounted, and then
Karl Scott heard a sobbing voice that
sent the blood to his heart in great
bounds. He bent over the mournful
little figure, and the next instant he
had gathered the sobbing form in his
arms and was holding it as though
he would never let it go again.
ooh, Karl, I thought no one would
ever come, and my foot hurts me
sol" Then two arms crept about
Karl's neck, and for awhile the
darkness and the storm were forgot
ten by the two there alone on the
hills.
Miriam's horse had thrown her as
she was returning, and for several
hours she had been here by the road
side with a terrible pain in her ankle
and chilled and wet by the storm
And then the darkness had come
and the girl had given up all hope Of
rescue for that night, till she had
looked up to see Karl's frightened
gray eyes and felt his kisses on he1
lips. How she got home that night
the girl could never have told, but
there was always the dreamy con
seriousness of her lovers white, anx
ious face bending over her.

gust and went to sleep that night
with Karl's last words ringing in he1
ears 'Miriam, don't be angry"
The weeks went on. short, busy
weeks for Miriam. Between herself
and Karl Scott a truce had been de-
clared, and they met apparently on
their old friendly footing. Only the
girl and Karl himself knew that
there was difference. The old
friendly relation had somehow be-
come impossible, and into their inter
course strange, new element had
crept.
''Well, Miriam, how's that bet?'
said Mary Sanborn, one morning
some months after the scene with
which our story opens, as she met
her friend coming out of college.
"AI right. We had a fight that

talk about platonic friendship is sim

wager a dozen pair of gloves that
you and Karl Scott will be engaged

''Done," said a laughing voice, and
d bright-faced girl, seated upon Il
trunk, proceeded to extract, bymeans
of hat pin, large pickle from an
extremely small-necked bottle.
"And by this, my friends" do i
hereby seal aforesaid covenant" and
the crowd of girls about her as the
speaker solemnly devoured the
pickle.
1t was not hard to see Miriam
Westcott was the leading spirit
among these college girls assembled
here for their weekly "spread."
Bright, sensible and full of humor,
she seemed the life of the little cir
Gle about her. The girls were stu
dents in the great university of M
and after week of hard study were
disposed to make the most of their
evening together.
''That's the safest bet [ ever made,
girls said Miriam. "Why Karl and
I have known each other since we
were babies and, besides, he's in love
with girl at home!" this last in
very Triumphant tone, intended to
carry conviction with it. 1t only

Hardly were the words uttered
when a ring at the door was heard
and Nlirians mischievous whisper:

Karl! He's come to take me home.
You know, he's just like my broth

the shouts of laughter that followed.
AS the door closed behind Karl and
Miriam, and they went out into the
night, Miriam said:
cts awfully nice of you to come
after me tonight, when you're so
busy, too, with that Latin quiz
'You know I wouldn't let you
come across that campus alone on
such night as this" Karl had an
swered, as he put the girls arm
through his, and in the movement
there was something that made Mir
lam look up into her companions
face and say:
"Thank you, Karl, am glad you
came''
Some way Karl was unusually
silent tonight, and it was not until
they were almost home that he said,
hesitatingly:
"Say, Miriam, I wish you'd let me
ask you something, though I know
you'll be angry"
Better not say it then, for 'twould

There are very intelligent men and
women who still prefer open fires to
steam pipes and furnaces.
But only a very shallow-minded per-
son would deliberately choose an old
fashioned remedy in case of sickness.
Sufferers from neuralgia, rheumatism
or kidney trouble want the surest and
most advanced remedy science can give
them. Getting well is not matter Of
sentiment, but the most seriously practi-
cal matter. That is why the most
thoughtful ana conservative people now
