CHAPTER V.

~"O that" mused Peter Kinross
as. dressed in Overails and
with his hair grotesquely
~ plastered down with Abe
Morningstars pOmatum, he strolled
about at dusk that evening under the
trees of the orchard, smoking his after
supper cigar, "is the renowned Miss
Georgiana Ellery, the beautiful, the
accomplished. Sentimental" he pro-
nounced, from the crown of her head
to the soles of her shoes! And intel
lectual! 1t would take pretty brave
man to go in for her! Well" he con
cluded. bending back his head and
blowing out puffs of smoke, "she's a
fair type of what the woman's college
turns out nowadays. But, by Jupiter,
more stunningly beautiful girl |
never saw
In spite, however. of this conclusion,
he patted himself Oh the head for his
cleverness in having devised so excel
lent a scheme for the preservation Of
his liberty. What a boredom it spared
him!
There was one phase of his eScapaue
which was not SO pleasant to cOnteln-
plate-the discovery of his deception
when he should be obliged to meet
these two young ladies in his true char
acter upon his return to college in the
fall.
His stroll had brought him to the
fence which separated the orchard from
the lane, and suddenly he stopped short
and took his cigar from his mouth.
There Il few feet away, leaning
against the fence, stood Eunice. In the
deepening twilight he had not seen her
until nearly at her side.
Her relaxed attitude betrayed the
WEAKNESS of her young body at the end
Of the days toll, and the droOp of her
head against her hand suggested the
pensiveness of her mind.
He felt glad that he had come upon
her; he was so curious to know how
his disguise affected her. She had
actually been surprised into a faint
smile of amusement at the dinner ta-
BILE. It had fairly startled him.
In the lane outside the fence four
little boys were playing, children from
neighboring farm laborers' cottages,
and Eunice was watching them idly.
The dialogue of the little cubs was
diverting, so he, too, rested against
the fence and listened to them. He
thought she must surely have heard
his approach, but she did not stir.

Lebanon" one boy was boasting.

gave him the lie without ceremony

"Yes, you did," Reddy championed
him.
"But there's $50 Indians out west!

ing and austerity Of thought rather at
odds with the soft womanliness of her
countenance and the mellow sweetness
of her voice. In spite of the serious
ness with which she took herself and
her "views," seriousness which the
light minded found little wearing,
her fOrceful personality held a charm
which, with her beauty, gave her a
very marked distinction.
Just now her benevolent glance mov-
ed about the table to take stock, as it
were, of material. These seemingly
commonplace Morningstars, she felt
sure, could be reached through contact
with the high thinking which it was
her unrelaXing aim to express. They
already possessed that plain living
which she had been taught to recognize,
in theory at least, as necessary con-
comitant to the former.

The girl. without any response and
with no change in the pensiveDass of
her cOuntenance, rose to do as she was

her face made one expect to see hel

EVERY PROMISE FULFILLED

The local Young Mems Christian
Association has closed another sue
cessful lecture course and has full
filled every promise made to Its pat
rons before the course opened. At
the outset IL was stated that this
thing which had ever been attempted
in Marion. That has been accom-
plished, but the association is not
satisfied. Already the lecture course
committee Is laying its plans TO BE-
cure a still better course for next
year. The faithfulness with which
the course just completed has been
carried out merits still greater con-
fidence upon the part of the people
for the courses which are to come.
Not only have the lectures which
have been given this year been enter
tanning, but 50 large an amount OF
information and instruction could
not be crowded into so short time
in any other way. Any one OF the
numbers on the course was worth the
price charged for all, but this Is the
day OF bargain sales and the lecture
course has been the greatest bargain
sale of the year.
In a financial way. the course just
completed has been a success. but not
q money maker. In fact the Y. NJ.
c, A. has had no thought OF making
money on the course. 1t sought to
furnish the people of the city with
high class entertainment, the kind OF
entertainment which uplifts, while II
entertains and this arst great aim
has been accomplished. The money
consideration although 1t Is not the
prime object Is a very important one.
The course has paid expenses and
there is a little left In the treasury.
With such cburses as has just
been completed, the Y. M. C. A.
need fear no lack OF patronage or
appreciation upon the part OF the
people
