what confused. He had not expected
TO be asked why.
DO a good many of the girls study
on Sunday he ventured to ask
"Oh, yes; Sunday is hard day to
get through. always feel glad when
it's over. Don't your
Sometimes" replied Edward. He
felt alarmed in the presence of this
impulsive young woman, who always
asked a question at the end of a state
ment.
''What do you do on Sunday" He
ventured another question because he
did not know what else to say.
"Oh, go to church in the morning
and then dinner and then a nap and
then little walk, perhaps, or | write
a letter or read and then the vesper
service and then tea, and sometimes go
down town. if Miss Claiming feels like
it and there is an unusual service any
where. That's my regular routine on
Sunday. What do you doY
But just then Freeda entered, and
Edward did not try to answer. She
handed to Edward quietly, but with a
sparkle in her eye, paper containing
an article marked in blue pencil
That's my article right there" she
said as Edward stared at the paper.
|. But this is printed" stammered Ed
ward.
well, that's what say. It's been
accepted and paid for, Mr.. High and
Mighty, and have the check to show
for it," said Freeda, smiling, while
Miss Seton looked much amused at Ed
wards bewilderment. ~
Really"
y REALLY. Want to see it?" Freeda
took out of her purse a check for So
bearing the name Of the firm that pub
lished the paper.
Edward took it and read it silently;
then he turned a beaming face on his
sister.
Good for you" he said heartily. 81
never thought you could do it. Why,
know several of the fellows who have
tried to get into this paper and have
had everything rejected so far"
Freeda was delighted. Then she said
demurely:
you owe me a dollar BESIDES"
81 owe you a dollar! Hows that?"
'Why, do you forget you promised to
print all the articles we had accepted
in The College Journal and give US a
dollar apiece for them"
did say would do that?"
You certainly did"
Then, of course, I'll pay it. But
had no idea would ever have to-"
But it was Miss Seton's turn now.
'You owe me dollar, too" she said,
while both girls laughed at the look
that came over Edwards face. II had
some verses printed in an eastern pa
per last week, and belong to the girls
literary society,""
I'D like to see them" said Edward
suspiciously.. He had his doubts con-
corning Miss Seton's statement.
"Of course" she replied, still laugh
ing as she went out of the parlor.
While she was gone Edward looked
over Freeda's article. He was surpris-
ed to note the interest that attached to
it. There were no preteusions at fine
writing, and probably that is the rea-
son the editor had accepted it. The
article was an account of one winter
experience, when Freeda had paid all
her personal expenses in the way of
dress and books, etc., by little expert
ment in poultry raising. The article
happened to fit in exactly with a series
that the corresponding editor had been
running on How Country Girls Can
Probably Spend a Winter" The
amount paid for the article was nomi-

did not believe she could write any
thing else that would be accepted, but
