The color the light took from the

Could Make His Own Inference.

William C. Bryant recently told the
story of two soldiers-one of bibulous
habits and the other steady, sober
man. The latter was promoted to be
a sergeant. Upon his promotion he
conceived a very exalted impression
of his rank and became quite offensive
in manner to his former associates.
His attitude caused great resentment
in camp. One day the bibulous SOL
der approached him and said: what
is the punishment if the private calls
the sergeant darned fool?" He Will
be arrested and court-martialed," re-
sponded the sergeant. Suppose he
simply thinks he is darned fool and
does not say it," There is no punish
ment for that" well, let it go at
that" replied the private.-New YORK

and waking. the light from swinging
lamp falling across her face, one heavy
black rose just brushing the pure
whiteness Of her cheek.
Her husband worked in his labora-
tory until the morning sun was gliding
the domes and towers of Florence.
Tired out at last. by prolonged and
unsuccessful experiment, he left his
work to go to his bedroom. AS he
passed his wife's room he saw that
the door was ajar. He reached out a
hand to close it, lest the morning
sounds through the house should dis.
turb her; but in the act he caught a
glimpse Of something by her bed
which made him turn faint with sud-
den nameless horror. The roses in
the malachite vase had become white

he called her name.
There was no answer.
"Rosamond! Rosamond!"
His tones were now loud and terri

shadow Of the bed He drew nearer,
cold with apprehension. Something
very black was outlines against the
wilderness Of the linen. A great hor.

and then it was placed on a new site.
IL was at first called New Hall"
but the old name of Stoughton was
finally given to it. Stoughton cost
$4,000 and three-fourths of this sum
was raised by lottery authorized by
the state. Stoughton has thirty-two
rooms. and among the men of note
who have occupied some of these
rooms in the past have been Edward
Everett Hale, Phillips Brooks and
Horace Grey.
Holworthy Hall was built in the
year 1912, and again funds were
raised by a public lottery. 1t was
named for Sir Matthew Holworthy,
an English merchant, who had left
the college $4,000 by will in the year
1878. There are "a suites of rooms
in Holworthy, the suites consisting
of study and two small bedrooms.

was built in the year 1866 by the

associations clustering around the old
hall, which is now used for lectures
and recitations and contains several

a year.

friend. with slight sarcasm.
"Your sympathy is worse than your
tea," retorted the bride, who was OBJ
viously out of sorts. But I'm going
to tell you, anyway. Not long ago
he promised me a surprise if would
turn out nice dinner cooked all by
myself, from soup to coffee. Last
night l did SO. Everything pleased
