The Kernel of the Matter.

Sixty years ago the American revo.
luton and the war Of 1912 were near
enough to stir the young Yankee spirit
in a way unknown to the modern boy.
In that day men were still alive who
could tell tales of a winter evening
which gave life to the poems and
school-book anecdotes of the next
mornings lesson. The fashioned
Yankee boy was much aware that once
we beat the British. Such an old
fashioned bOy-nOw great grandpa
ther-tells story Of the lusty, hui
morous school days of 1910.
His class was reading the history of
the close of the revolution. The days
lesson dealt with affairs Immediately
following the surrender of Lord Corn
wallis to General Washington.
When the first boy rose to read, the
other boys were observed to be snick-
ering behind their books. But the
reader with solemn mien, proceeded,
invariably rendering the name of the
British commander, which occurred
frequently in the paragraph, as Cob
wallis"
why, jesse" interrupted the puz-
zled teacher, finally" why do you keep
saying Lord CobwallisY 1t is Corn
wallis, don't you know"
yes, ma'am, | know his name used
to be CORVALLIS" said the youngster,
delighted at getting the desired op-
portunity SO easily, but that was be-
fore General Washington shelled all
the corn off him at the battle of York
town"

THE TESTING OF FATHER.

When faint the city whistles blow,
And milk carts rumble to and fro;
When the glad sunbeams newly fling
Abroad their promises of a spring,
Then father to the garden goes
And rakes and digs and plants and hoes
When he has placed beneath the loan
About his glad suburban home
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine,
And proudly says: "All this is mine"
And joyous hears the breakfast bell,
And feels his bosom proudly swell,
What sounds pOrtentiOus on the breeze
Cause his slow curdling blood to freeze
There, cackling singly or together,
With feet steel shod and lungs of leather
The neighbors' soul-destroying hens
Have flown their fragile makeshft pens
The big white rooster proudly leads!
The air is full of garden seeds!
The old hen lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, stumps, sod, gravel and the roots
That pa has planted with such care
And left to grow in comfort there.
IT'S nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father in his place.
Instead Of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says, with expression sage
"Yer fathers mellerin' with age"

innocent T.athrop, shifting about to see
what Polly was staring at. He could
see nothing Interesting In the vacant
space on which her glance was focused,
but then Lathrop was a freshman and
had not known.
Now watch him." he cried as the
signal for the second half was given.
AS If Polly would do anything elsel
Cheer after cheer went up from the
grandstand as one good play after an
other took place on the gridiron, but
Polly saw only one of the two elevens,
though she cheered mechanically with
the others.
How proud she was that Huntington
had not gone to the old dances, but
had kept in good trim. Anyway, she
believed the dances were not so jolly
as they had been formerly-she had
not enjoyed them very much.
"Huntington's hurtr' cried Lathrop,
switching Polly's train of thought sud
IDENTIFY
WHAT" Polly's eyes followed the
little procession which was carrying a
man off the field. Take me off the
stand quick!"
Lathrop took her arm and they hur-
ried from the grandstand.
Where shall l take your" he asked
quite at loss to comprehend the sit
uation.
"To-to-over there" she cried, run
ming in the direction of the little shed
which the teams called the hospital"
Without asking permission she entered
and looked at the man on the low
cot.
Isis he much hurt?" she asked.
Let me-" she insisted. rubbing Hunt
ington's forehead, and kneeling beside
him while the others stood around in
blank establishment.
Just knocked silly, | reckon, Miss
Westcott," drawled big Kentuckian,
who knew both Polly and Huntington
and-Cupid. Hello, Hunt" he said,
as Huntington opened his eyes. Come,
fellows, he's all right"
Polly flashed him a look Of gratitude
as the crowd left the little room.
MIR. Lathrop, you mustn't miss the
game, really" she added, as the fresh
man stood politely impatient.
And although Lathrop was only a
freshman, he noticed that when he
took Miss Westcott home after the
game she was happier than she had
been on the way out, and that she
was wearing a diamond he had not
observed on her hand before.-Indian-

other men, l will not wear your ring"
There was an air of finality about
Polly which very much amused her
companion. but he had more tact than
to give evidence of it,
You had better keep 1t, dear" he
said
Miss Westcott. please" Polly cor
ly. What right had he TO take his dis
missal so cody?
Huntington took the ring and fas-
tened it on his Kappa Sigma pin pen
dantwise. Polly watched him. II hate

ut was at a football game that we
met" reminded Huntington.

Huntington Rugged his knee and
watched the flames dance. He knew
she had not forgotten.
you became engaged to me on the
way home from a football game, too"
he persisted.
Il had forgotten thar Also" she re-
torted, frigidly.
Huntington suppressed smile
which, had it been allowed to escape,
might have ended in uproarious laugh
ter.
And it is over football that we have
become-er-disenga - temporari-
ly?" 1t was with trepidation that the
big halfback added the final word.
Temporarily, indeed!' Polly could
not summon voice for further utter
ance. His presumption with without
precedent.
Huntington nodded his head at her,
and dangled the ring on his waistcoat.
Il want you to understand distinct

ment is at an end, definitely and final

"And may ask whyI"
"For the good and sufficient reason
that you refuse to take me to the

| Huntington was silent. Polly was in
earnest then. She had broken their
! engagement because he must adhere
| to the rules laid down for men in
training for the big game. His college
team counted him among their strong
est players; he could not go back on
them. Surely, Polly must realize this
''See here, Polly" he began, but she
interrupted him.
II will not listen, Mr.. Huntington,
and l might add that you may close
| the present interview as soon as you
| like" She leaned back in her chair
| and hummed a snatch Of song, utterly
ignoring him.
Huntington rose and took his hat
"All right, Polly! When you are ready
to talk sensibly and wear this ring
again, let me know" and before she
could look around, she heard the big
door close and he was gone.
Alone, she slid from her chair and
sat on the little hassock he had left
so abruptly. How queer and unadOrned
her left hand looked and-yes-there
was an odd, indescribable feeling some
where else-on her left side. Why did
anyone invent football?
And yet, Polly soliloquized, had it
not been for the game, she might new
er have met him and loved him. 1t
was his big, handsome presence on the
field which had first attracted her, and
it was after a splendidly won game
that she had accepted him.
Polly buried her head In her arms
on the big chair and cried-because of
football, of course, and its evils.
"Huntington's playing the game of
his life" said Teddy Lathrop, when
time had been called on the first half
of the big intercollegiate game.
"YesY Polly Westcotts reply was
given in a far-away tone. She wished
they had not called time. She did not
want the players to leave the field at
all. She could not see them during the
intermission.
