from the fingers of Jimpsey En-
glebart before the man with the
wire basket thing was out Of the
cellar. The matter was really de
cided already.
But it was necessary to make
a ,solutely sure.
When Jimpsey began to whistle
again, he in his turn had taken
his place in the library basement,
and Togo was being held for his
start in the power house. This
time, too, he made the trip more
slowly. But he madeit. Aud he
was slow only because about his
neck was a tiny dog collar, or
rather cat collar. And behind it
trailed $50 yards of fine hard fish
ing line.
1t was JimpsUy himself who
sent back the signaling double
tug. And in the dynamo room
the electrician announced that
the rest was easy. He had al.
ready looped the end Of a reel of
light copper wire about the fish
ing line.
That'll take through any weight
of insulated you want, he said.
And, boys, it's miles ahead,
said Mr.. John Malone, of the old
story of the lad that got caught
up top Of the factory chimney,
and raveled down the yarn from
his sock heel! You know I said
al along we'd manage our cross.
in SIS soon as we'd actually come
to it. Then, too-he ingratiat-
ingly expanded to young Mr..
Haviland - this'll make a fine
story in the paper. It'll make
the finest story you ever read.
Meanwhile Togo had begun his
second run, this time to North
Hall.
And if, at the end of another
hour, he decided that he was not
hungry any more, and could &C.
cordingly leave the remainder of
his job until the next morning,
no one could do any worrying
about that. In the procession
that left the new college build
ings with extinguished lanterns,
Mr.. Malone, contractor, aud Mr..
Haviland, architect, walked side
by side-both alike making sol
emn resolutions enough for New
Years's Day. A few steps behind
them little Mrs. Haviland and
Mrs. Englehart were taking ad-
vantage Of the darkness TO give
each other a series Of half. fearful
hugs. And for his part, with
feelings inexpressibly trium-
phant, Jimpsey Englehart was
walking far in the van and all but
hugging togo!
As the Journal did get the
story, too, the thing was simply
a little idea that architect and
had had in common.
But it must be said that Mr.. Ma
lone, who furnished the inter-
view, could not deny that it was
himself who had really seen the
actual possibilities of it.
And the evening that interview
the same Mr.. Malone
paid q private and confidential
visit to the Engleharts, particu-
arly to Jimpsey. He found him
Ind Togo going into something
;ogether in the stable.
: You've got to sell him to mel"
le said. "No way to it, you've
simply got to. And I want him
ess to use than to admire. I'll
give you $2o-which1l set you up
n a whole pigeon house, tum-
,lers, homers and all. I"
Jimpsey's ieyes almost popped
'ut. His feelings toward Togo
'egan, despite himself, to under. {

IN SOUTH
LEGISLATURES HAVE GOTTEN
BUSY IN THE MATTER.
Taxes for School Purposes Show That
Adequate School Accommo.
dations Are Provided.

Washington, d. CA bulletin pre-.
pared by Prof. Edward c. Elliott OF
the University of Wisconsin and is
sued by the United States bureau OF
education, says, with special reference
to school buildings and sites in the
South:
The most obvious evidence of the
expansion and growth of public edu-
cation is to be found in the number
of legislative measures intended TO
provide reader means and larger re-
sources for securing better and ade
quate material school accommodations.
With few exceptions, these measures
have been included under the heading
of local bonds and Indebtedness.
The omission of legislation Of a spe-
cial and local character from the pres
ent classification does not permit de.
tailed presentation of the very large
number of measures enacted in the
Southern states authorizing the levy
ing of taxes or the contraction of in
debtedness by particular communities
for the purpose Of building and
equipping new public schools.
In fact, though, the latter measures
r in themselves a sign of the energy
and enthusiasm with which the South
is attacking it's education problem.
