She was dressed in a long cloak,
grayish-brown, with gray hat and veil.
Her tall figure doomed duskily in the
back of the elevator. She was speak

with his hand on the rope and slid-to
the door as Derring entered.
This is my reception afternoon.
Tom If visitors ask for me, you can
show them directly to the studio"
Yes, Miss Gordon" returned the
boy
Third, please" said Derring. His
newspaper life was teaching him to
think and act quickly. He must give
her time to get at work. He stepped
out at the third floor and the door
was slammed behind him.
He could spend half an hour looking
over the things on this floor. It would
all work in some time-if he were pro-
NOTED, as he hoped to be. His posi-.
ton at present included variety of
work. He was liable to be called on
to write a column on any subject

column to-day was The Private

AS he had turned the corner at
Michigan avenue he had caught sight
of a roll of paper whirling lightly
across the open space in front of the
institute. A woman in a gray cloak
was battling with the wind and look.
ing despairingly after the hurrying
roll. 1t was the work of moment for
him to dart through the crowd of
teams, rescue it, and receive MUIR
INJURED thanks from the gray veil.
Now, by the moments chance in the
elevator, he had learned that she was
one of the artists he had come to in
teryiew. He would wait half an hour.
Then he would look her up. She would
at least be civil to him 1t was a
lucky chance.
She was seated with her back to the
door, in the light of the north window
She turned her head from her work
with a look of inquiry. The face was
older than he had fancied through the
folds of the veil.
She half rose from her seat. her
hands full of brushes and eolor-tubes.

ONE OF ADAMS TROUBLES
incident In the Garden of Eden That
Must Be Taken for What
1t Is Worth.

Rev. DR.. Charles Townsend of
Orange was one of the speakers at the
Park Presbyterian Church Mems club
banquet last week, and told this story
of one of the troubles of the original
ancestor:
Adam had eaten the elaborate re-
past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished each
morsel. He complimented her upon
the dainty manner in which the blue
points were served, the flavor of the
PURGE of pea, the seasoning of the fish
and entree, and finally reached a de-
licious salad. Adam paused, and with
a worried look on his face he de-
manded of Eve where she found the
ingredients. She enumerated all ex-
cept the lettuce.
Where did you get those leaves?'
he demanded.
Why, they were lying on bush
In the back yard, she replied, sweetly.
Well, those were my best Sunday

woe is man. which was corrupted into

crowd of boys were waiting about
the door. The boy of the back seat
linked his arm in Richards. "What'd
old Four-Eyes want?" he demanded.
Got a leather medal anywhere?"
"Whatd he say. anyhow"
The fact that Richard was their
senior by several years did not seem
to impress them. They gathered
about him, chatting and questioning.
They disregarded his stern look as he
tried to shoulder his way through the
crowd.
"Oh, hold on"
Tell us what he said"
In the end Richard complied, half
resentfully
Liked it, did he? My eye!"
They danced about him
For he liked it, don't you know,
don't you know" they chanted, For
he liked it, don't you know-o-oh!"
Then Aurora, rosy-fngered daugh-
ter of the MORN" walled in the Greek
a small, chubby lad with pink cheeks.
1t was the seesaw chant of the
woods.
The group took it up with a shout
of joy. They sent the burlesque jig
ging across the campus.
Heads were thrust out above. Hey,
you freshies! Haw-haw-haw! Keep
quiet, down there!"
A shout of defiance went up from
the group. They were drunk with too
much Greek and with release from op-
preston.
A deep voice underran the chant
and snatched it from them and made
it beautiful, hurting it out with force.
The group looked at him a moment
doubtingly. Then they gave way and
followed his lead. The burlesque had
become a march of triumph. Breath

Say, you fellows what do you bet

"Hip-hipi"

a chant in Greek would spring up of
itself in the distance-swelling or dy-
ing away to an echo, according to the
number of students on hand, and end
ing always with the hooking refrain:
For he liked it, don't you know
o-ohi"
The situation gave him enough to
think about. He forgot to remember
Emily, or even to remember that he
had expected to remember her and be
miserable. She rested in the back
ground of memory. faint blur,
brushed out of existence by grinning
yell of derision.
He learned to set his teeth and grin
back: and in the end he found his I'M
welcome distinction an advantage. 1t
might not he comfortable to be recog-
nized and pointed out in every new
class he attended as the learned wood
chopper; but at least he was recog-
nized. No professor forgot his name
or fumbled up and down the class-list
trying to place him. And the fact
that he was older than the majority
OF the class, added to the uncanny
Greek distinction, gave him an as
sured place.
When it was known that he was
working his way through college num-
berless opportunities sprang up. The
faculty gave him tutoring and secre-
tary work to do. The student body
put him on the football team. Emilys
image grew so faint that Cupid must
have wrung his infant hands in de-
spair.
The four years went by with undig-
nified haste. Richard was conscious
OF leaving undone half that he meant
to do. He groaned in spirit over vast
tracts of literature-of which he knew
not even the name-that he could get
no time to explore. Nevertheless, he
found himself, at the end of the
course, taking honors in English. He
gasped little. Then he hunted I'D
the professor of English and laid be-
fore him his secret desire.

professor with smile. Il thought it
was Greek"
Richard made hasty gesture
Never"
The professor laughed out He was
a trim, slight man. Had enough in
college?"
Richard nodded.
The professor drummed with his
fingers on the table for a moment

face.
