to the north side"
We came in back of the summer
house, and had just left the road,
when three horsemen galIoped past,
straight UP to the front door, which
stood wide open. The black shadow
of a man appeared in the glow of
light. shading his eyes as he looked
cut into the darkness.
Is that you, Culver?"
Yes" sullenly, the speaker swing

Well, you've been a hell of a while

days an undergraduate wished to start
home, thus gaining a weeks vacation
on the other students. He had. how
ever, used up all the absences from
the lectures which are allowed, and
any more without good excuse would
have meant suspension. In guam
dairy he hit upon this solution; he
telegraphed mis- father the following
message:-

The answer he received was: Come

And at last the wanderer had re-
crossed the sea and headed Tor his
home. He was tired and weary and
lonely Home? But he had none.
He had left it when he left wife and
baby. This struck him like a sudden
blow, though he had all along realized
It in q general way. NO home-no
wife-no child! That was why he
had left the train and taken lodgings.
He had no place to go. With money
IN his pockets, he was a tramp.
And to know that Christmas was at
hand. and to hear the jingle OF sleigh
bells and catch the shouts of children
on the street--to wonder il his child
still lived. and tc wonder further what
old Santa Claus would bring her--why
the man cursed the fears he could
not keep back.

of railroad magnate, had dared to
fall III love with the blue-eyed daugh-

steady reply.
Il say NO! If the jade has trapped
you into an engagement buy her off.

But we love and are promised to

In the next half hour the father
stormed and cajoled. If the son in
sisted on such a marriage he would
be cast out by the family; he would
be ridiculed even by the common peo-
pie. And the magnate ended UP with:
