Half the settlement was at the cabin
when the doctor came for his daily visit
and crowded around when he approached
the bed, where white sheet set itself
sttllv over all that required his ministra-
tions. Bad Wilson, cantering down from
the Hill range, caught sight OF the I'M
usual throng and flung his horses head up
sharply by the side OF the house.
whats the racke?' he asked OF the
men standing by. ''Some one hurt?"
"Jim McMillsu's baby dead"
Bud Wilson was handsome fellow. He
sat horse superbly and rolled cigarettes
to perfection, bending them in the Next
Can way. In the surprise OF the announce
ment he rolled one now, placing the whtsp
of paper on the pommel of his saddle while
he poured the tobacco into it. After a
medicated Whit or two that burned the
plper halt down to his fingers he threw his
cigarette away, and swinging down from
his saddle tossed his bride over the near
est fence post and walked back to the door
as softly AS his high-heeled boots and
swadilins goat skin chaps" permitted.
Bad Wilson at one time had been very
attentive to Lizzie Mcmillan before she
was Lizzie McMilin Certain of the
range people had said, ''it would sure be a
match" but Billy Howe, Buds most
intimate friend in the roundup gang, had
prophesied that ''ye would't rope Bud fer
no sech halter yet" aud they had not.
The door was pulled open at the new
comer's knock. He paused moment on
the threshold, then walked in with bowed
head and stood looking down at the figure
in the little white coi1in, holding his broad
sombrero in both hands, with its heavy row
of buckles glinting around the crown.
While he stood there the mother, whose
silence had at last found voice, sat in the
adjoining room looking over the empty
field. She was grooming to herself softly
eyes. My poor child's gone. But it's
better fl know it. I'd never brought
it up right. I'm sinful and worldly, and
IA have brought it up to dance and all
such things. l know would. I'm not fit
to have child, so weak and sinful, and
God has taken it back now"
She sat by the kitchen window, her cloak
on as though she were about to go out,
and swayed softly back and forth, her
fac head and figure making superb sill
houette against the square of light behind
her.
But can't bear to think OF her lying
out there in the rain and snow" she went
on. If it was only summer and it was
green and there were flowers-but to be out
there-I can't bear to think about it Oh,

Wilson stood looking down at the child
while she spoke, not once raising his head.
Then he turned and went out as quietly as
he had come in.

In the entire list OF American college
presidents it would not be easy to f nd one
against whom it would be more difficult 10
sustain a charge of ultra conservatism than
against Presidents Eliot Of Harvard. He
has never accepted the fact that anything
is, as OF itself, sufficient evidence that il
ought to be. He has been on the constant
lookout for new way of broadening edu-
casional service and for new vistss of
progress. This has made him hospsable
to new ideas and liberal toward all ideas
that have given proof or promise OF value
His position on college athletics, in his
rscent report, is, therefore, in no sense
affected by old iogy preiudices 1t ia the
result OF careful observation and may be
regarded as perfectly fair, as well as ex-
pert, Judgment. He is opposed to the
early enlistment of the freshmen in the
full responsibilities Of athletic organize
ton. While he does not question the
good physical influence Of college sports in
general, it is ssll matter OF doubt with
him whether the intensified games which
mainly interest the public have good
physical effect upon the players" While
great pains are taken to prevent unfit men
from engaging in violent sports, it is yes
true that such men are found on crews
and teams, and it is also held to be
an open question whether fit men "are
thereby made physically ister to bear the
subsequent strains of business or pro-
fessional life.''
While it is to be put down to the credit
OF vigorous out-of-door sports that they
tend TO deliver young men iiom slo.h,
sensuality and luxury" their principal
benefit aocrues to the hundreds of student
who play wholesome games and take vigor.

in Intercollegiate contests. In answer to
the popular expression that high scholar.

President Eliot finds mo larger perez u tage

All this testimony is important. Ii

former accomplishes the result OF develop

cause it does not invite at least, to the

which impair, and sometimes, for the time
being, destroy manliness. From the view

very sound one.-Boston Transcript.
