While conservative colleges are throw ing open their doors for the higher edu. cation of women, we have reason to ex- peot that the ultimate outcome will bs suffrage to the enlightened of all classes.

This educational test must in- voluntarily convince the most critical observer. We need have no fears of tho ignorant man.

the rest of the company away, arriv-
ing at the depot just in time to see the
last car whisked out of sight, my land
lord having failed to awaken me at the
right time that morning.
Here was a fine fix for an actor to be
in! The next stopping place was Ell
Paso, a long jump-a days journey. in
fact-where we were billed to open that
evening with myself in the leading role,
and no train leaving Tucson until the
next day. I went back to my hotel and
took what satisfaction 1 could in abus-
ing the landlord, who was a foreigner,
and couldn't comprehend more than
half of what 1 said. Vexed? Well,
vexed was no name for my mood just
then.
I took a walk to cool off my temper
and wandered back to the railroad sta
ton. To my surprise and joy l saw
train-an abbreviated one of few cars
and engine-evidently making ready to
start in the direction the Ell Paso train
had taken. The engine was steaming
up,and though the cars were empty L
could see they were elegantly fitted up
and apparently awaiting occupancy.
Upon inquiry 1 learned that 1t was
special and that A. n. Towne, vice
president of the road, was momentum
ily expected with a family party, en-
route to FL Paso.
Here was my chance, and improved
the opportunity, although it took con-
siderable nerve to do it. A fellow don't
exactly like to force his acquaintance
upon a distinguished railroad official
and ask for a free ride in the bargain.
However, approached Mr.. Towne just
as he was about to enter his private
car, introduced myself as New York
boy, and explained how I happened to
be stranded in Tucson.
AS long as live 1 shall never forget
Mr.. TONNES kindness and hospitality.
He gave me as cordial a welcome as
if I had been a millionaire friend in
stead of a young actor in a scrape, and
during the entire journey we chatted as
though we were old friends, rather
than strangers. Mr.. Towne forgot his
customary afternoon siesta and we ex-
changed anecdotes of our mutual ex-
periences in a way that was highly en-
ioyable to both-at least Mr.. Towne
was kind enough to say so when we
reached Ell Paso, and l am sure never
had a more delightful trip in my life.
He kept pressing the button to the dim
ing car for a Shasta cocktail, his Ia
vorite beverage, and we dined and
lunched upon all the delicacies the buff
fet provided.
When we got into Ell Paso and I
showed up at the theater about 1880, in
time to dress for the play, maybe the
| company weren't astounded-couldn't
| imagine how I got there. They had an
understudy for my part and were
shifting the cast and wondering how
they could worry through. Mr.. Towne
was too sleepy after foregoing his nap
| to attend the play, but 1 had the pleas
ure of offering a box to his party, who
occupied it.

Boy" I said sternly, this is no
time for joking We are going to be
murdered in cold blood"
Just then Pearce rode up. His right
hand had gone in search of something
in his hip-pocket. y cold perspiration
broke out all over me, and my hair
was standing on end.
Young man, told you that if ever
1 caught you in my county I'd make
you sorry" he howled out, still tugging
at his hip-pocket.
I was getting ready to say my
prayers and a last goodby to earth
when out il came.
1t was only a bottle of whisky, and
I could have cried for joy.
Drink some of that" he cried.
Nothing loath, 1 fell to, and together
we had pretty nearly emptied the
bottle, when he commenced to roar:

tank and a small boy. The town was
evidently a prohibition one. 1 wanted
a drink pretty badly, and asked the
boy where / could get one. He said we
could borrow a team from the smith
and drive on to a small town a few
miles off. l took his advice, and we
started.
Presently saw in the distance fig
ure 1 seemed familiar with, and the
horrible truth dawned on me.
What county are we in?" I asked
the boy.
Boone County" he replied.
1 feared that this would be the an
swer.
Have you any arms?" I asked.

answered.

membered that he always stood still
until he reached that verse, so
whipped up and then we made good
time away from where he stood. We
reached the station just as the train
came steaming in.
You may be sure I boarded it in a
hurry, and just as we pulled out saw
Pearce ride into the depot, shooting
madly on all sides.

evening l sat down to my Christmas
dinner in Henley you may safely

at the corner of Taylor the hind wheel
struck loose cobble and one of the
largest birds fell with a thud on to the
cold, damp roadway. The driver, in ig-
norance of his loss, drove on.
But the fall Of the turkey had been

were returning from work, and in
simultaneously both made a rush for it.

as they grabbed it at the same time.

They sat on the ground gazing woe
