THEY ARE PUSHING IT.
The University Temple Fund Commits
tee Working Hard.

The committee in charge of the WORK
of raising the balance of the University
Temple Fund have begun work in
earnest. Circulars have been prepared
setting forth the need and advantages
of such a building and they will shortly
be sent out to the business and pro-
fessional men of the state. Altogether
1t Is expected that 10000 people will
be reached by correspondence. The
committee has been very busy in pre-
pairing plans, but now that all is ready
they expect to push the undertaking to
success. The sum already raised has
mounted up to $12, 900. or this amount
the faculty has contributed upwards Of
$4,000, a sum which bids fair to be-
come nearer to $4,000. Some OF the
alumni have responded literally. send
ing In sums ranging from S. to $50.
The building will contain reception
and rest rooms and will be built
strictly for the convenience and ac-
ommodation of the University pub
lie. 1t will be built on the same plan
as the Lincoln library building and will
be an ornament to the campus and
a source of pride to all who have come
into contact with the influences of the
institution.

CHAPTER I.
I'VE Shall Find Il Gu. Some Day."

WV St'aff Y wv ~ WV ~ Ssy
About the beginning Of the month of
April, 1884, the family of Mr.. Silas Bur
rift observed a certain alteration in
that gentleman's habits and demeanor.
II appeared to those who studied
him that he became imbued with an
air of anticipation-that he started
when a knock was heard at the door,
and that the advent of the postman
was awaited by him, II not with anx-
iety, at any rate with an amount OF
eager expectancy which was, in a gen.
eral way, quite foreign to him.
II was also observed that the nearer
they drew to the end of the month,
the more these symptoms became ex-
aggerated; and, as day after day
currence, he was observed to shake
his head with a half-smile and a half.
sigh, and mutter. as he thought to
himself. Dead or forgotten" After
which, he remained plunged in reflec-
ton for a considerable time.
II was his son Edward-more gen.
orally known as "Ted"-who happened

wilderment.
He stood with his sister May II the
hall OF Mr.. Burritt's large, old.fash-
toned house at Dulwich. 1t was about
seven o'clock in the evening that, as
the brother and sister were talking in
low voices, the former was interrupted
by the sound of an abrupt, loud, double
knock.
There's the seven o'clock post"
said the girl. Il wonder II there's any
thing for father this time? If there
Is, I'll"
But as she turned towards the direc-
ton OF the letter box. the study door
was thrown hurriedly open and an
elderly gentleman rushed across the
hail. and extricated from it's receptacle
one letter in a thin. foreign looking en-
velope, the direction on which was
written in a large. scrawling hand,

p~erceptible pause.

of hardly repressed triumph. II knew
1t was. I said so directly I saw the
letter-didn't Ted?"
Her father turned round upon her,
rather sharply. What letter."
"The-the letter hat came last
by the unusual tone. Then, reassert.
ing herself, II was in the hall, you
know, when It came, and / thought il
looked like business"
Her fathers frown relaxed as he
patted her on the shoulder.
'Inquisitive little GIRL" he said
what does it matter to you what my
letters are about?'
But it was business, wasn't it?'
she persisted. secure in her position
of spoilt child.
"Well-yes-that is. partly So he
answered. AT least. it was from an

something and stopped short. AT any
rate" he continued, Il have to go to

"Dover!" re-echoed the family.
YES" he SAID. rumpling his hair,
and apparently taking some care in the
choice of his words; II find l shall
lave to go there. 1t is rather incon-
venient Just now, but it cant be help
ed; though it will not be more than
a couple of days at the outside. By
the-by," turning towards his helpmate.

friend back with me. No; it's no one
you know" responding to the question
he saw trembling IN more than one
pair Of lips. AT any rate you had
better have a room pref AIRED In case
OF that event"
Half an hour later Mr.. Burritt took a
hasty but affectionate farewell of his
family, who as they watched his de.
parture and waved their hands to him,
said to themselves that he would soon
be back again among them. In spite
of this belief, however, they crancd

of them said any more on the subject

the former, and what made the
guv'nor so queer and unlike himself
at the sight of 1t? However. it's no
good troubling myself about it,"
Mr.. Silas Burritt remained shut up
in his study all the remainder of the
evening, and only encountered his
son and daughter at breakfast the
next morning-bcing Thursday-when
he appeared to have regalned his or
binary manner; Notwithstanding to
two pairs of inquisitive young eyes

man mot that they described it to
themselves in any such words) who
has been reviewing the past, and
whose thoughts still linger behind him
among the years that have gone by.
There was also a slight suspicion of
nervousness about him, and several
times he seemed on the point of saying
something, which he put of from one
moment to another, At last he made
up his mind to speak.

wife, II am th~inking-that is, | have

did, from his son and heir, seemed to
cause the object of IL some little annoy

A little later, when his sister, who
had again had to her piano,
was practicIng scales like a Trojan (f
the expression is allowable). the GUN
man put his head inside the door of
the room in which she was, and the
following brief conversation ensued:
Il say, May, do you know, it has
just occurred to me that the guv'nor
never mentioned the name of the
friend he was going to bring back with
him."
The scale of c major came TO an
abrupt conclusion. ITO be SURF he
didn't. How funny! But then, you
see. we forgot to ask him"
