Harry Wauch0pe's Reprieve.

~ BY. WILLIAM MCLEOD ERAINE.
Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Harry Wauchope came briskly out
of the Faculty Room, wearing on his
face the boyish, defiant smile that was
meant to express supreme unconcern.
He stopped for a moment at the drink
ing fountain In the great hall and the
smile died from his face as he filled
the cup, emptied it absently, half
filed it again, and then turned impa-
tiently away.
Restlessly he wandered over to the.
bulletin board and read the students
~tlost" notices, wondering YEARLY why
people posted the loss of such trivial
things as text books and society pins.
He read that eff the person who stole
a tennis racket marked j. NJ. x. from
the gym. last Thursday evening will
return same to 43 Elm street all will
be forgiven and no reward will be re-
quired," and it did not seem to him a
bit funny. Beneath that was the an
nouncement of the football game at
Travis Field which was to decide the
class championship. He remembered
now he had looked forward to playing
in it, and talked over the chances OF
winning, and hoped and feared, until
it had become a great thing with him
and with all the team that they should
win the game and the championship
Tor the class; now it struck him sharp
~ that the game was being played at
that moment, and he was not sin it,
and never would be again. He could
even near the dull yelling of the crowd
on the side lines. Occasionally there
came to him the short sharp, triumph
ant tx, G, Wig" which told him
that his class was winning.
Wauchope thought of all he would
miss, how the strong bonds of fellow
ship he had formed on the ball ground
and in the societies and at class meet
lngs would be snapped when he went
away, and not soul among them
would care anything about him after
the first feeling of regret that their
reckless, lawless classmate had been
expelled. He could imagine them say
ing to each other, What? Jack fired!
Poor devil! Well, it had to come SOON
er or later" = @*-..
He had made few close friends, but
he knew good many who would be
glad to see him humbled; and he re-
solved that they should never know
how hard he was hit. He would carry
himself with the same jaunts devil
may-care insouciance he had always
worn, so that no man could say he
WINGED. Involuntarily he Strengthened
himself, thrust his hands deep into his
coat pockets, and lounged over to the
large western windows overlooking tbs

have been made in the form of gloves
for polishing purposes, but in all tbs
others the serious objection has beer
the tendency of the hands to perspire
within the glove, causing great incon-
venience to the user. This objection
is. obviated by the new glove, as it
does not entirely inclose the hand, but
affords only a covering for the fingers,
leaving the rest of the hand free to
the atmosphere. A patent for this in
yention was lately granted.

GLOVE FOR HOUSEHOLD !. USE.

Here is a Woman's invention that
should prove practical for the purpose
for which it was designed, namely, to
protect the fingers while kneading
dough or applying any polishing sub
stance to stoves, woodwork, furniture,
etc. It consists Of a set OF finger tips
of rubber or any other flexible mate
rial suspended by elastic cords from
a wrist band. These tips are prefer
ably larger than the average-sized
finger and are adopted to be gathered
at the large ends by means Of the
strings passing through the eyelets, as
