q chant in Greek would spring w 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-oh!"
The situation rave 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, a faint blur,
brushed mi OF existence by a ~grinning
yell of d~erision.
He learned to set his teeth and grin
back; and in the end he found his In
welcome distinction an advantage. 1t
might not be 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 1t 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. Emily's
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 a little. Then he hunted up
the professor of English and laid be-
fore him his secret desire.
Want to be a Journalistic" said the
professor with a smile. Il thought it
was Greek"
Richard made a 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,
Had you thought of trying for a col
lege position-English assistant, or
something?" He watched Richards
face.

that he was to appear in a street

just stepping off the car, he said,

suddenly started of it's own accord

the interesting narrative was rude

THE DANGER TRAIL

the greatest engineering company
on the continent.
Rowland, we've decided to put
you in charge of the building of the
Hudson Bay railroad. It's one of
the widest jobs we've ever had,
and Gregson and Thorn don't seem
to catch on. They're bridge build
ers and not wilderness men. We've
got to lay single line of steel
through three hundred miles of the
widest country in North America,
and from this hour your motto is
DO it or bust.' You can report at
LIE Pas as soon as you get your
traps together"
Those words had broken the
slavedom for Rowland. He had
been fighting for an opportunity,
and now that the opportunity had
come he was sure that he would
succeed. Swiftly, with his hands
thrust deep in his pockets, he
walked down the one main street
of Prince Albert, putting out odor-
GUS clouds of smoke from his cigar,
every fiber in him tingling with the
new Joy that had come into his
life. Another night would see him
in lie Pas, the little outpost sixty
miles farther east on the Saskat-
chewan. Then a hundred miles by
dog-sledge and he would be in the
big wilderness camp where three
hundred men were already at work
clearing way to the great bay to
the north. What glorious active
ment that road would be! 1t would
remain for all time as cenotaph
to his ability, his courage and in
domitable persistence.

GLARE AND ITS REMEDY-"THE
OLIV-EYE."

We are DESTROYS of drawing at
tention to our new lens, THE
OLIV-EYE," new glass that has
merit, and one which we can re-
commend without hesitation. 1t is
not fake" but rest for tired
eyes. In this day and age when SO
much work is being done by arti-
fetal light, there is need of means
to prevent the injurious light rays
from reaching the. eye. 1t has been
found by extensive experiment that
certain light rays. known as the
ultraviolet and heat rays, are in
furious to the eye Light, as you
know, is composed of a variety of
cOlOrs. In the natural light the pro-
portion of colors and heat rays is
correct and acceptable to the eye,
providing the eye does not receive
an excessive amount; but this is
not true of ARTIFICIAL light.
There are numerous kinds of ar
tificial light. Some are more in
furious than others, but none of
them are the equivalent of sun
light. In all the artificial lights
either one color or another pre-
dominates and almost all are rich
in ultraviolet and heat rays. This
accounts for the fact that artificial
light is more firing to the eyes
than natural light. The remedy is
apparent. The ultraviolet rays and
heat rays must be reduced to their
proper proportion. This is the mis-
sion of the Oliv-Eye lens. We do
not wish to make extravagant
claims for it, but we do claim that
owing to it's peculiar tint it reduces
the evils mentioned and gives to
the eye light that has been fill
tered and the color corrected to
very nearly the proper proportions.
This causes relief to be felt by the
eye at once and puts it in state
of rest and relaxation. This will
give you faint idea of the merits
of this lens, and we trust you will
try it so as to prove cOnclusively
that our claims are correct. The
Oliv-Eye can be secured at the Col
umbian Optical Co., wholesale and
retail opticians, 404 Riverside ave.
