Judgment. The next day he felt some
what ashamed Of his feeling, and even
went SO far as to go out OF his way
to say something unusually pleasant
TO Wilson concerning the incidents OF
the debate. Wilson was good enough
to say somewhat cordially: Exact Is,
Blake, you deserved much higher
marks. l don't feel as IL it was any
thing but luck gave the decision to
me-" This remark did not comfort
Edward much, seeing that 1t was not
luck that he had been criticising, but
the failure Of the Judges to appreciate
a really good thing when they heard
II.
He began work again on his studies
before the week was out, ambitious
at least in that direction, and when
another Saturday came he had almost
recovered his equanimity.
1t was his regular evening for calling
ut the hall to see Ereeda, and he went
over, taking with him a copy Of the
last college paper, which had come out
the day before. He wanted to show her
the article he had had reprinted, from
the magazine that had accepted his
first effort. He had secured permits
sion to reprint it, and he knew Freeda
would share in the pleasure of looking
It over in the college paper.
When he went into the parlor, Freeda
was already there, waiting for him.
She seemed to be unusually excited
over something; but she sat down and
looked over the article in the college
Journal. and praised it highly, to Ed
wards great pleasure. They were
still talking about It, when Miss Seton
came In.
She ut once went over to the corner
where they were sittens, and Joined in
the conversation.

literary club, here IN the hall% Miss
Seton asked, as Fresda turned over
the leaves 81 fhc solhgs paper and
made some bffef ceanment on Ms gen.

"Freeda told me you were thinking
of something of the Sort" replied Ed
ward, politely enough, but with more
condescension than Miss Seton liked.
Thinking Of It! We've organized
one and It's been going month. We
have paper Of our own called The
Inkstand."
IL should think The Typewriter
would be more appropriate to these
modern tines" said Edward.

more literary than typewriters. See

"Tm not a professional writer. like
Freeda," said Miss Seton, coiuring
"She writes for tho papers-the real

two months ago. II was as good as

what was 1t about, FreVdaY ASKED
Edward politely. He was exceedingly
skeptical Of girls ability to do any
literary work worth while.
"Pn 60 up stairs and bring it down
If you would like to see it," asked
Freeda, with significant warning look
+ at Ida.
She went out ana EDWARD seized The
opportunity to ask Miss Seton word
about the Sunday study.

him to ask such a question.
"Yes, Freeda and the president.

"Oh, nothing" replied Edward, some
what confused. He had not expected
to be asked why.
'Do n good many of the girls study
On Sundays" he ventured to ask.
"Oh, yes; Sunday Is a hard day to
get through. 1 always feel glad when
It's over. Don't you"
Sometimes" replied Edward. He
felt alarmed in the presence of this
impulsive young woman, who always
asked q question at the end of state
ment.
'What do you do on SundayT" He
ventured another question because he
did not know what else to say.

But just then Freeda entered, and
Edward did not try to answer. She
handed to Edward quietly, but with a
sparkle In her eye, a paper containing
an article marked in blue pencil.
~ That's my article right there" she
said as Edward stared at the paper.

ward.

Miss Seton looked much amused at Ed

took out OF her purse q check for So

Edward took It and read 1t silently:
