EVENING STORY FOR THE FAMILY CIRCLE

) Horace Aloysius Upper, profess
sor in Chinese literature at Gables
college, was strolling over the
campus, lost in thought.
"Shall | or shall l not ask Miss
Virginia Smith to become my
bride?" he muttered. 1t was a prob
lem which had vexed many of his
waking hours. Miss Smith was pro-
fessor in mathematics at a neigh
boring feminine institution. United,
they would possess complete mas
terry of Chinese literature and math-
ematics. But Professor Upper was
constitutionally averse from rash
and precipitate action.
The sudden swapping Of a string
and fall of light object at his feet
recalled him to himself. Upon the
ground lay broken parcel contain
ing his last weeks laundry. Thus
reminded, he proceeded to the resi-.
dence of All Win, professor in Chi
nese saponification to Gables col
lege. There was nobody within the
shop. Stepping through into the
back room, Professor Topper per-
ceived the Chinaman seated over q
bowl, from which rose an overpow-
ering aroma. His eyes were closed,
his face CHASTITY white. Instantly
Professor Upper knew that the old
man had been preparing opium and
had been overcome by the fumes.
1t was the work of moment to
grab him by the shoulders and into
the shop. There the color came
back to All Wins face; he sneezed
and opened his eyes.
That's narrow escape you had,
All VIM said the professor, re-
provingly.
You save my lifee,' cried the
lamdrymRn in gratitude What I
do for you? Me washee free for
ever"
mo, no, All VIM" replied Pro-
fessor Upper. Let me see that
ring on your finger. Why, that's
like those in the Ming tombs which
were supposed to contain magical
properties"
yes, yes, magic" cried All Win,
placing the ring on the professors
finger. You turn him so, all things
of future lifee come to you. You
turn back-all plesent.'
Reveals the future eh?" said
the professor. thinking of Miss
Smith. Lets see?" TIE turned
the ring.
Instantly he was out of the shop
and travelling at breakneck speed
toward Miss Smiths house five
miles away. He was there in a
couple of seconds and in the psxlor.

win you be my wife, Virginia?" he
heard himself saying. Yes, dear
est" replied Miss Smith, sinking
her head upon his shoulder. Some
thing hit him behind the ear. 1t
was an old shoe and they were
whirling away upon their honey
moon. Then they were back. and,
quicker than thought, a succession
of events rushed past. ITS fine
boy" said the doctor, laying his
firstborn in the professors arms.
Its a girl" ITS fine boy" Its
a girl" His children were spring
ing up around him. Now the pro-
lessor was an old, white haired
man, with senility hurrying upon
him. He was stretched out on his
bed, never to rise from it. Death
was approaching. Only the ring
could have him. He felt for it
feebly.
Its strange how dear father
loves that old Chinese ring he
heard his eldest daughter say
Guide his fingers to it." Very
feebly the professor felt for it, and
with his last effort, turned it.
Instantly time was reversed. His
hair turned brown: his children be-
gan to grow smaller before his
eyes. ITS girl" cried the doctor
ITS a boy" ITS a girl. Its a
boy" Something-an old shoe
struck him behind the ear, A head
sank on his shoulder. Eyes, dear
est" whispered Miss Smith. "Will
you be my wife. Virginia? the pro-
fessor answered. He was propelled
swan before his eyes and he
opened them. to find himself in the
back room of the Chinese laundry
mans shop, which was filled with
an overpowering aroma. Everything
was Keeling before his unsteady
gaze, and All Win was baking him
by the shoulder. The professor
was twirling something in his hand.
He looked at it. 1t was laundry
ticket.
What is it," he cried.
SIXTY cents" replied the China
man impassively. You smell him
opium. No good for white man;
only good for Chinaman."
With aching head Professor Tup-
per staggered out into the air. Sud
denly he stopped dead, his face
aflame with the light of determin-
alton.
We'll, I've got to marry her any
way" he sad. And with lingering,
half reluctant steps he proceeded
toward Miss Smiths above. five
miles away.

Smith taken the other day when
they had a cross-country ride in
the gay old town. Her costume is
the very latest thing for society
women who ride horseback and sit
a-straddle. Miss Smith is wearing
the cutest pair of Atwood knicker-
bockers. with leggings just like the
chauffeurs wear.
Her hat is the latest thing, too
1t has the broad-brim effect that is
common on Fifth avenue in New

'over-garment on Miss Smith is
something else that's peculiar. It's
the only article of feminine wear
Miss Smith puts on when she goes
a riding. Paul Revere did some

guess that he didn't cause half as
much excitement as Miss Smith
would cause If she rode down
