There was ho buck for any OF the hunt

Rob suggested that stories were
very nice to hear after dinner, so went

telling the joke played on Jack. In
the general laugh that followed, Jacks
face turned crimson. To be laughed at

1t was in May. The ralndrops pat
tered gently on the roof OF httle
house in the suburbs of a small city.
Everywhere chilly atmosphere pre-
vailed. In front and around the little
house was well-kept lawn surround,
ed by giant naples. A young girl
came up the street, turned, and quick
" went up the short walk leading to
the front door, and entered. Outside

Once inside the girl threw aside
her wraps, revealing a wealth of brown
hair, and face that was good to look
upon. She wore simple dress. OF
dark-blue. She opened the door
of her grandfather s study and was
surprised to find no one there. Her
grandfather was always in his study
during this hour. She quickly looked
in every nook and corner OF the room,
although saying to herself that TINS

Hearing slight noise, she turned ana

the bookcase swing slowly outward.
She could hardly believe her eyes
and pinched herself to make sure.
She realized that it was true as she
gazed at the black aperture in the
wall. It nearly made her heart stop
beating, but then, she was sensible
girl and certainly was not afraid OF
the dark. When she had come to
this conclusion. she rather. hesitatingiy

that moment hearing. a faint sound
from within, she quickly lighted
candle and stepped through the OPEN

passageway and had gone but few
steps before she stumbled over some
thing and bending so that the light
would fall at her feet she beheld the
prostrate body Of her grandfather.
Before she could have time to wonder,
he opened his eyes and exclaimed, els
that you Dorothy I thought it was
that cowardly Bowen" It took some
seconds to say this as he was breathing
heavily, from lack of good air. He
was now again unconscious. Dorothy,
now thoroughly alarmed, as to what
had happened during her absence, ran
for some water as the only remedy
which she could remember for faint

drops on his face. Consciousness re-

It was a warm day in early summer

he had seen a dull red glow in the

How Jack Was Cured of Dragging.
(By Mildred A. Palmer, 20, Newfane

(By Mildred A. Palmer, 20, Newfane.)
Jack Andrews was fair type OF the
city bow Being the son of wealthy
man. he enjoyed all Of the advantages
that money could give him. But all
know that money brings its disadvan'
tages as well as it's. advantages. Jack,
from small boy had been used to
Dragging of his superiority to others.
He did not have to work as did the
common class of boys, and could easily
spend his time, outside Of school, as he
pleased.
the high school, but his athletic sports
occupied his mind so much more than
his studies, that many wondered how
he ever managed to graduate. But
with the aid of coaches, he managed to
get through. He then entered college.
There he entered into athletics with
the other fellows, who would have
liked him had it not been for his con-
tinual Dragging. One fellow, however,
recognized Jacks good qualities ana
became his firm friend.
Ned Brown had been brought up on
farm, and although his parents were
well off, he was taught to look out Ior
himself. He entered college with the

hard, too. So he went to work In ear
nest, and was soon at the head of his
class. Usually there is some jealous
feeling for the "head one' at
school, but Ned proved himself
an exception to this rule. He
was great favorite with all
the boys, because of his unselfish dis
position and gentlemanly ways. By
aiding Jack when he had been a tight
fix about his lessons, Ned had become
firm friend.
When the winter vacation came,
Jack invited Ned to his home In the
city. Both boys thoroughly enjoyed
themselves every minute of their vaca-
ton, and when Ned spoke OF having
few friends come to his home
the next fall, Jack was very
enthusiastic. 1t was then that he
Dragged about his skill as fisherman
and hunter. Ned said there was fine
fishing there, but the hunting beat
that to nothing. AS soon as they had
returned to college, the other boys were
told of Ned's plan. The school days
passed quickly after that. for the boys.
One day in the fall vacation, Ned
met a merry party OF boys at the sta.
