library table, looking out across the
quiet village street toward the campus.

Gothic buildings which he could just
see from his library he had taught for
Is years.

and colleague, died. ten years before,
leaving his twelve-year-old daughter
TO Doctor Syntax. 1t was the most nat
sral thing in the world that the kindly
old doctor should take the child into
his household. After old Janet died,
Milly quite naturally became the doc
tors housekeeper.
And now certain persons had whis-
pered that II was not proper for an
unmarried man, even a professor, to
live alone in the house with the girl.
With Milly! Why, she ruled him
with an iron hand, cased in velvet
though It was! Did a north wind blow,
his peace of mind was not worth a
moments purchase unless he put on
his comforter to step across the
campus. He was sent to bed even in
the midst OF the most abstruee prob

he had a lecture on the following day,
Nevertheless, life without Milly seemed
an impossible, hopeless thing.
Doctor Syntax had been in love
when he was young man. The OBJ

other; but, though he had long ceased
to think of her, the memory of that
first love had clung around him like a
radiant cloud, softening his spirit and

the thought Of Milly had, of late, unac-

professor did not at first understand
why.
But when the ultimatum went forth
that society considered Milly ought to
be relegated to another sphere, the
professor had a ridiculous dream. 1t
was absurd, to hope that Milly, the
belle Of the little town and

of mathematics has the right to dream.
At any rate, he must tell Milly. And

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee Is dis
