he exclaimed:
Carol, it is YOU. What does this
mean?"
What right have you to asR?" Her
words were brave, but her voice trem-

an old friend who has been looking for
you everywhere, and is so glad to find
you that he does not care what any

walked on, leaving the wandering
maskers behind, to the entrance Of the
park.

Carol. have something I must say
to you" She glanced at her cos
tune.
Never mind" he said, interpreting
her look. "The first time 1 saw you
in that dress we were very happy, and
why did you leave me. Carol, with
only the little message that was
free?" She raised her eyes, limpid
with unshed tears, and she answered:
II did not want you to find me- Why
did you look for me?"
Because love you, Carol, and life
is not worth living without you, but
tell me, why did you go away as you
did," She hesitated a little, and then
said. steadily:
When the bank failed, and | had
nothing, your aunt came and told me
that if you married me it would ruin
your career. as she would distnherit
you. She said what you should do was
to marry Alice Curry. and that she
was sure you would but for a notion
that you were bound in honor to me"
Just as l thought. But how could
you go away. Carol, without seeing
me; without hearing what I had to
say?"
"Dick, do you think l could spoil
your life? What sort of love would
that be? And knew might grow selfish
and weak, if saw you"

the slender fingers of the hand on
which was the old moonstone ring I'M

continued, that Mrs. Dempsey is not
my aunt?"
mot your aunt? Why, Dick, what
do you mean?"
"Just this: she was adopted, but not
legally, by my grandparents. When my
mother died, shortly after l was born
she and her husband managed, by
series of clever frauds, to get hold of
the property. No one knew about it

And such a dinner as they had. Carolyn
declared she had never tasted any,
thing as good, and that never before
had she been so truly thankful for a
Thanksgiving dinner. Dick started out
by saying they would be married in a
month, which Carolyn thought was too
soon, but when the dessert was brought
in he had shortened the time to ten
days.
When their dinner was over. they

West Seventy second street of all traf-

carriages that later on throng this
boulevard. Carolyn had risen late.
The demands of the stomach are not
as peremptory when one is quiet, and
she had faced the fact, the night be-
fore, that she stood possessed of ex.
actly IS cents.
It was still early for pleasure dr:v-
ing, so that the boulevard, for the mo-
ment, was given over to companies of
gayly CARRIED maskers, who were ring

nence, accosting passers by. Through
the silvery. silken mist they went

The carriages were now beginning
to pass, and. from one of them, she saw
shower of coin flung to group of
singing maskers. With quick resolve.

paints with which she eked out the
little allowance her old uncle was able
to send her, and in a few minutes had

her of his love. and tied about the
loosened curls of her dark hair a fillet
of gold-colored ribbon, she looked no
more than a child.
She slipped softly down the stairs.
and reached the outer door of the
ground floor unobserved. A company

street like bright, wind-swept autumn

What the Rich Man Cannot Purchase.

We want more happiness, more real s~atisfac-
ton, more JOY, more enjoyment.
It is said that we Americans are always trying
to get money-more pay, higher wages, higher
salaries, more profit in our trade-and there is
truth in that description of the American aim.
Now, is that the ultimate end of life? Is that
the way to win greater happiness, truer enjoy
ment, deeper satisfactions?
[ think the first source, the greatest source in
this world, is family life, the joys of father and
mother and children and grandfather and grand
mother and grandchildren. They last.
In the natural course of life they last fifty, even
sixty, years, and they grow as time passes by.
They are always increasing; they are not dimin-
ishing satisfactions.
Does the rich man have any more of these true
and high satisfactions than the poor man? Not
one whit more! He cannot buy them. They are
the result of natural affection and of disciplined
character. They are absolutely unpurchasable
in this world.-President Charles W. Eliot of
Harvard University.

Every Man Owes a Duty to the Community.

It is a truism to state that the basis of a dem
ocracy is the realization of the obligation by
every citizen to contribute in his own sphere and
in his own best way something toward good gov
ernment and progress. Equally true is it that So
cial reforms and economic growth are only posi-
bic where the citizens realize their duties to So
ciety and in proportion as the average conception
OF duty is high, so are introduced improvements
and reforms which make for comfort, better
homes, higher ideals and increased prosperity.
Wherever the few do the thinking for the many
and are permitted to set the code of social ethics
and to mark the limitations of social growth, we
find a false aristocracy maintained, and the more
complaisant the many, the more tyrannical be-
come the few. Whenever technical and industrial
skill and capital, the hand-maiden of labor, are
confined to the few, we find industrial monopoly,
a material aristocracy as false as that based on
social ACKNOWLEDGMENT and power. Whenever the
few control the political parties and dominate the
administration of government in the municipal
ity, State or Nation, there democracy is for the
time being dethroned and a political oligarchy
tainted with corruption and tyranny is estab-
Iished in its stead. Therefore, in his social re-
lations the life of the citizen must be strenuous
and Approximation. John II. Small, in Alumni
Address, Trinity College, Durham, N. O., June

The Henderson Gold Leaf, which has strenu-
ously opposed the ogden movement in Southern
educational work, comments as follows on the ad-
dress Of DR.. Lyman Abbott at the recent Rich
mond Conferences:
IF contact with the South and observation of
the situation as it is, results in causing men like
DR.. Abbott to have a better understanding of the
subject and change their views on the negro prob
lem and suffrage question, we shall believe that
some good may come from this new movement af-
ter ALL"
This is just what Contact with the South"
through these Southern Educational Conferences
has done for many others besides DIR. Abbott. In
all the North, the South has no ADLER friends than
such men as DR.. Abbott, DR.. Albert Shaw, of the
Review of Reviews, and other members of the
General and Southern Educational Boards. Some
body has wisely said that if more Southern men
would GO North and cool off their passions and
more Northern men would come South and thaw
out their prejudices, both sections would be i'm
measurably benefited.

the municipalities will be willing to furnish the

If we shall meet all Southern problems and ma

the same national spirit, the same magnanimity,

within the next quarter of a century. Freed from

ing through our veins we shall press forward
to the destiny that awaits us. If, to the senti-
m3ent, the chivalry and the hospitality that have
characterized Southern life shall be added the in

CAROLINA PREVIOUS TO 1850. By
Charles Clinton Weaver, Ph.D. 95 pages.
Toh-, Hools-o De-. Do14:-.o-o m

This is an interesting story of the great schemes
for turnpike building and river navigation in
North Carolina from 1915 to 1850 and the pro-
jected railway enterprises prior to 1860. AS side
lights there are suggestions of the long drawn
out contest between the eastern counties with
their large slave plantations and with n~avigable
rivers as commercial outlets and the western
counties where slaves were Improbable and where
the absence of river transportation made the prob
lem of internal improvements of vital Importance.
And there are suggestions of "~castles in the air"
that long ago vanished into nothingness-the
dream that we might rival New York in the con-
test for Western trade and that Beaufort might
become the great city of the Atlantic seaboard.
DR.. Weaver has brought together much valuable
historical matter, and we hope that his booklet
will have a large circulation.

In Tennessee, the average child enrolled attends
