though his inside pocket contained the
required amount In bank bills.
Thorpes hopes had sunk to zero
| After ALL looking at the matter dis
passionately. why should he expect
/ Carpenter to trust him, stranger
with SO large a sum? 1t had been
madness. Only the blind confidence OF
the fighting man led him farther into
| the struggle.
| Tborpe's descriptions were contained
| in the battered little notebook he had
carried with him in the woods. For
each piece of land first there came the
| township described by latitude ard
/ east and west range. After this ge-
neric description followed another fig
ure representing the section of that
particular district. So 1917 VS.
meant section of the township on
| range 10 north. II west. IL Thorpe
| wished to purchase the whole section
| that description would suffice. On the
other hand. If he wished to buy only
one forty he described its position in
| the quarter section. Thus SW-NW
49-17-S meant the southwest forty Of
| the northwest quarter of section in
| the township already described.
The clerk marked across each square
of his map as Thorpe read them the
date and the purchasers name.
In his notebook Thorpe had of course
entered the briefest description posi-
BILE. Now, indicating to the clerk, he
conceived the idea OF specifying each
subdivision. This gained some time.
Instead of saying simple, Northwest
corner of section 81 he made of it four
separate descriptions, as follows: North
west quarter Of northwest quarter;
northeast Of northwest quarter; south
west of northwest quarter, and south
east of northwest quarter.
He was not SO foolish as to read the
descriptions in succession. but SO scat
tered them that the clerk. putting down
the figures mechanically, had no idea
Of the amount Of unnecessary work he
was doing. The minute hands of the
clock dragged around. Thorpe droned
down the long column. The clerk
scratched industriously. repeating In a
half voice each description as it was
transcribed.
At length the task was finished. 1t
became necessary to type duplicate
lists of the descriptions. While the
somnolent youth finished his task
Thorpe listened for the messenger boy
on the stairs.
A faint slam was heard outside the
rickety old building. Hasty steps
sounded along the corridor. The land
locker merely stopped the drumming
of his fingers on the broad arm of the
chair. The door flew open. and Wal
lace Carpenter walked quickly to him.
Thorpe's face lighted up rs he rose
to greet his partner. The boy had not
forgotten their compact after all.
"Then it's all right" queried the lat
ter breathlessly.
"Sure. answered Thorpe heartily.
"Got 'em in good shape"
At the same time he was drawing the
youth beyond the yigilant watchfulness

WILSON 70 STUDENTS
President of Princeton Talks to
the Graduates of the
University
PRINCIPLE, NOT PRECEDENT
No Virtue in the Simple Life If It Is
Not Based Upon Principle and Ac-
tion That Win be Of Some Benefit
20 Mankind-co Commencement at
Brown and Other Colleges.

Princeton, n. j., June 1S.-For the
Arst time in the history of Princeton
University a layman yesterday deliv-
cred the baccalaureate address, the
honor being conferred on President
Woodrow Wilson at the request of the
students. In the academic procession
was Grover Cleveland.
President Wilson said:
".rhe vast accumulations of wealth,
the past material equipment of civil
ization in our day ought not to mislead
US into supposing that this is an age
gross and material beyond precedent;
more debauched by greed or intoxi-
has gone before it. 1t is not. Tho its
spiritual impulses and conceptions and
undertakings do not run so exclu-
sively along the old, haiiowed and ia
miliar ways OF religion as in some
noted days gone blythe spirit of man
has waxed strong in our time. as has
his hand, and has given itself to works
as mighty and influential.
MANY pretty books and homilies
have been written for US Of late in adj
vocacy of simple life, and beneath
their sentiment lies a noble and en-
Tightening truth. There is no virtue In
q plainly furnished room; a little circle
OF employments, a little group of
friends is no certain means of grace.
The simple life may be very mean and
bare and unrewarding, what is worse.
It may be very selfish and belittling.
The kernel of the moral simply is that
our real life is greater than the things
we handle and that our life is in us,
not in our possessions of our social and
business engagements"
After saying that God is abroad and
not shut up behind conventional walls
and that the college man, because of
his training, ought to be the best man
among men of God, President Wilson
continued:
TT Ia no doubt ordained that the
world shall not be saved. not only by
the foolishness Of preaching. but also
by the courage Of action and the salts
Tying nobility of unimpeachable cond-
duct, and colleges cannot make SER
yiceable men unless they make men of
brains also men of principle"
