Outside the class room he is the most

deal of the boy about him (which is an
uncommon thing in q university profes-
sor), he always has the best tobacco With
him and he can wheel farther and tell
more stories than any man on the facul-

He relegates such things, however, to
the afternoon. His program is -
classes IN the morning, recreation in the
afternoon, study in the evening.

what an offer! The young man read it
and all day racke1 his brain for a plot.
A dozen came to mind but none were
worth the price. 1t was still troubling
him when he went to sleep that night.
In his sleep he dreamed story his
story, the greatest story in the world.
1t acted itself out before him like play.
Plot, characters, incidents were marked
out in every detail. 1t was tale OF
the horsemen in America, a story Of
brave deeds and perilous adventures. 1t
held him spell bound and enchanted
even in his sleep. And during all he
knew that it was his story. In the
morning he would write it down at one
sitting. Even in his sleep he could have

character, enc scene Of the story came
TO him, and t. this day that old Morse
tale remains unwritten, locked in the
fancy Of the dream elves.
Three years ago young man waiting
between trains was sitting IN the pretty
little city park of Cheyenne, just oppo-
site the state capitol building. Sudden
ly his attention was attracted. A girl
in blue serge suit and white parasol was
coming across the lawn. OF course he
watched her and there was just the
faintest smile on her lips as their eyes
met.
OF sudden a twitch Of pain robbed
her face of its mirth and she went down
to the ground in heap. The young
man helped her up and to the capitol,
where her father had his office. Her
eyes were laughing even with the pain.
The distance was but two blocks, but it
took the two long time to make it, al
on account Of the spsined ankle. Of
course. At any rate it took them long
while, and when they reached the top
IT the outer steps, the young mans
train was coming and he had to cut for
it.
He took her hand and without q word
pressed it gently and ran straight down
the middle OF the road for the station.
At the foot OF the station street he
looked back. She was still On the steps
leaning against a column for support.
She waved her parasol at him and he
answered with his hat. Then he board
ed the train with a strange feeling in his
heart.
That was three years ago. Today
they came back from Cheyenne together
and there were just few grains OF rice
falling from them IS they left the cars.

About the university they tell this

excitement Of the campaign was growing

Prot. Fling spent his early years in the
east, and this residence influenced more
or less their political views. One day in
tbs executive office the two fell into a
big discussion over the issue, and both
being great sticklers on the sources de-
cided to settle the matter on historical
grounds. So together for two months
they pored over everything relating to

they had waded through the last volume

Everything was muddled up in it-the
room, my parents, the doctor, and finally
the devil. After the latter's appearance
the dream began to shape itself, the
