With that he left her, and then
mounting his horse at the garden

his humiliation at gallop for the
nearest woods.
The sky turned from clear to gray.
It was half-past one o'clock; and a
naturally healthy appetite had chang
ed the current of Ryder's thoughts.
He intended to remain friends with
blight and despair; but would have
liked nevertheless to have sat down
to a square meal with them. He had
urged his mare hither, by ways de-
vious, involved, circling and unknown
to him. There was no help in the
sky. He was lost.
Beyond the clearing, in a stand of
tall, long-needle pine, he came upon
girl in riding clothes. She lay face
down upon the pine needles with her
head on her arm. By her hair, brown
with sunset flashes, he knew that she
was Miss Vincent. Little Vincentr

moment, because he thought she
must be dreadfully injured, or even
dead.
But this was not the case. She had
dismounted to shorten one stirrup-

that golden opportunity to snort, leap
sidewise, jerk the bride from her
hand, and go home. She had walked
after him for half mile maybe, had

are divided on two sides, the reds and

pare for the campaign and all were con-
fldent that their side would win. The
reds have three members and the
blues two. The boys promise many
more the second day of the campaign,
as they are holding back some, that
they may swamp the other side when
they do turn them in. Excitement
prevails and good natured rivalry ex-

while the spirit of the contest bids fair
to bring in large number of boys and

Miss Eleanor Miller, principal OF

The literary editor OF the St Paul
Pioneer Press says: ITO say that
Miss Miller is a dramatic reader does
not adequately express her art. She
is a student of life and of literature;
her understanding of one helps her to
understand the other. This accounts
for the directness OF her method in
nterpretation-her glimpsing OF the
authors meaning. and her quick illum-
ination of his theme. no matter how
obscure. She has an expressive voice.

much nicer to go out with a crowd of

three years, anyway.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl of
twenty-one, and have been going with

me-

gain his respect, as / know that l am
to blame. The reason l think so much
of this young man is because he does
not believe in kissing a girl and is not
one bit 'mushy."

she never rants: she rises to granG

the explanation the justice made short

the cause of the trouble so he alone

the county jail on vag charge. He
later suspended the sentence and or

The first report from the cities in

c. A. membership campaign would in
dictate that each association was wait

hands. Only two of the eight cities
reported any increase in their mem
bership yesterday. the first day of the
state contest. Clinton, ILL.,, with s per
cent increase and Bloomington with 4
per cent increase were the fortunate
ones. The following cities showed no
gain: Canton, Aurora, Belvidere, Pc
oria, Sterling and Rock Island.
However, reports from some of the
local workers indicate Rock Island
will show progress in tomorrow's re-
port
Campaign workers to the number of
about hundred are busily engaged
telling the men of the city of the ad-
vantages of membership in the asso-
citation and the comparatively low cost
of the Y. NJ. C. A. privileges. All the
workers whose time will permit, meet
at the building each noon at 12:15 and
take dinner together and make their
reports.
A bulletin board four by twelve may
be seen in the lobby of the association,
and on it is displayed hundreds of
hearts. The slogan of the campaign
is, Change your heart and as mem
bers are secured their names are
placed on a colored heart that takes
the place OF the white one at present
on the board. The particular color
represents the side securing the men,

Johnson, while NJ. E. Strieter has as
sumed the responsibility for leading
the blue men to victory.
Keen Rivalry Due.
Each of these men has ten CAP
tains directing the work OF as many
teams of six men, and before the end
of the week there will be some keen
rivalry developed.
A handsome silver trophy has been
offered by c. S. Kilbourne of Aurora,
Ill, TO go to the association making
the largest percentage of gain in men,

SO fortunate as to secure the cup three
years in succession, it becomes perma-

association has organized 20 teams of
workers, with six men on a team.
These men are to solicit every man

The workers aim to secure 1900 men,
