After his exit from the smoke STAIN

silence, his eyes roaming around the
dingy but sacred walls Of his home
until they blinked with watery tender
ness. Somehow the Betsy had become
q part of him. She was wife, home,
children. They had grown old togeth-

sails and spliced rigging, strained tim

visible signs of the strenuous life she
had lived on the rough Atlantic
When Captain Ezra finally walked
on deck there was little animation In
his movements. The news that had

Here Is a Great Record.

Due West, May 12.-The record made
at the college home this year is really re-
markable, and too much praise cannot
be given Mrs. Alice Brice, the manager
of the most satisfactory boarding place
for Erskine boys. An average of fifty
five boys boarded at the home this year
at the surprisingly reasonable rate of 81
a month. Mrs. Brice did all of the pur-
chasing and looked after the preparation
of the meals. She also employed and
superintended the servants.
After all expenses were paid, including
servants' hire, the keep of a COW and
the many little incidentals, Mrs. Brice
announced that the sum of $235 remained,
which was distributed among the fifty
one boys who had remained until the
end of the season. To the majority of
the boys this pickup meant railroad fare
back home. AS one of them remarked,
it certainly did come in we'll. Each re-
ceived a few cents over 81.
Under the excellent. though economi-
cal, management of Mrs. Brice fine meals
have been served at the Home three
times day, and none of the half-hun-
dred boys have registered any complaint.
The manager Is paid salary for her SER
vices, which amount also comes out of
the general fund paid in by the boys.
The Erskine boys are congratulating
themselves Ipon the certainty of Mrs.
Brice's return next year.
