Sometimes an answer to a secret

What In q Jay walker? We all know
him and recognize him as pest, but
Kansas City was first in giving him
y name and separate Classification.
The Jay walker Is the person who
walks or letters In crowded streets,
totally Indifferent to, the rights and
convenience OF those he comes In con-
tact with there. In crossing from one
sidewalk to another he ignores the
rross-walks and meanders among
wagons, traction cars and automobiles
with q recklessness that puts the
drivers In danger of heart failure.
On a crowded sidewalk he keeps to
the left instead Of 10 the right, rough
~ shouldering his way through the
oncoming stream of humanity. He
stops to talk with acquaintance on
busy corners. planting himself where
he will most interfere with the prog
sess Of the people passing By. On the
harrow boardwalk Iii front of an ex-
cavation for q new building he leisure
" surveys the operations going on be-
hind the fence, compelling all who
wish to pass to step of upon the
dirty pavement.

Such fierce surges Of JOY throbbed
through him as he had not thought
the human frame could sustain. This
woman loved him. in some strange
way he had gained her affection. It
was Impossible, yet she had said SO!
He had been a blind fool. He could
see that now. She stood before him
end smiled up at him, looking at him
through eyes misted with tears, with
lips parted, with color coming and go
ing In her cheek and with her bosom
rising and falling. She loved him, he
had but to step nearer to her to take
her in his arms. There was a trust,
devotion, surrender, everything, IN ner
attitude, and between them like that
great gulf which lay between the rich
man and the beggar, that separated
heaven and hell, was that he could
not cross.
Il never dreamed, I never hoped
oh" he exclaimed as If he got his
death wound, this cannot be borne"
He turned away but in two swift
steps she caught him.
Where do you go?"
"Out, out into the might"

He strove again to wrench himself
away, but she would not be denied.

resolutely, that you can never go out

released him with one hand and laid
1t upon her heart. 'eYou are here"

NO." she thrust him gently away
with one hand yet detained him with

GEOLOGY PROFESSOR TO
 CONDUCT UNIQUE COURSE

Washington University, June 24 The adjective unique admirably characterizes the travelling course in geology which will be offered during the summer session under the direction of Professor Henry Landes, head of the Department Of Geology. lnasmuch as geology is pre-eminently an out-of-door science it is the plan this summer, to limit the instruction in geology to travel ing courses.
 At this session the entire six weeks will be spent in the field. Four weeks will be spent in Yellow stone Park. where the party will live in camp. Travelling along the park highways will be by carriages, but many excursions will be made to places Of interest which are away from the beaten paths. Camps will be established at the most at traCtive places for periods varying from three to five days, and journ- eys afoot will be made from these centers. On the return trip to Seattle. short stops will be made at Butte. Spokane and Portland.
 The entire course of the travel ing course, including the registra- ton fee. need not exceed sl50
