for that scholarship except William. 1t
was made to fit him.
But why is it that when woman's
brain is acting with exceptional force and
power it will drop stitches? l forgot all
about the mortgage. l pity myself as l
think back about it.
The weeks that followed were jumble
of frantic remonstrances from Aunt Hor-
tense, who came all the way to deliver
them, and got tenderly put into place by
William; dazed but kindly wonderings and
warnings to William from Daddy; chuck
les and intrigue from Uncle Morris; hurried
kisses in any old corner at any old frag-
ment of time William and l could seize
in the rush Of theses, examinations, and
all like tortures.
"Just wait, sweetest, until l get you
down to mothers spring house this sum-
mer, and I'll show you what stolen cream
skinned off crock with slab of cold
apple pie tastes like, was one of Williams
bits of consolation.
JINGLE MORRIS'S plans about the
scholarship were all perfected, and
nothing remained but to break it to the
student body, just after the bestowal Of
degrees. He smiled down at me as l sat
well up to the front of the chapel to be as
near William as possible, and hope no
body noticed the slight contraction of his
left eye that knew to be wink. We had
planned it all so well, we two conspirators
that is, we thought we had.
Fathers address to the graduates was
just what father would have been ex-
pected to make it. 1t was inspiring and
impractical, and could see that his boys
all loved it and were tucking it back into
their minds to be chuckled over in their
fight with life
Then very great man who had come
thousand miles to deliver the address
talked for about thirty five minutes
about things so worldly that fathers
remarks seemed translation from the
Periclean ages. 1t was about Success,
and could see the undergraduates just
eat it up. 1t was mastery and moral, and
so cold-blooded that my soul shivered.
Then William came forward and de-
livered thegraduate address. I'm not going
to write about it-I can't. For long min
ute the whole chapel was silent after he
finished; then it was led in an uproar of
applause that shook the roof And it
was when the tumult had begun to die
down that Uncle Morris rose and pro-
ceeded to unfold our scheme.
He announced that scholarship for
two years travel round the globe had been
rendered to and accepted by Harpeth
University, to be given the student whom

him about.

in his classic hunt, started him back to his
room.
"Yes," l answered meekly.

clump Of trees.
THE joys of friendship with William
were not mine for long.
Two and half weeks from that night
| shivered out all my fears and misgivings
and indignation at being hurried that way
in Williams arms, with his cheek against
mine.
"Its SO awful for you to be preacher

"Don't you know told you, sweetest,

as he could stand to have me before Aunt
Hortense was ready for the Adirondacks.
Daddy's very eccentric and he doesn't
consider William the tragedy that Aunt
Hortense does; but then, he is the dean
of Harpeth University, and he's proud
of William, except, l think, in his mex
plicable conduct about me.
Daddy who is that lovely man with
red hair and such long pink and white
arms and legs?" l asked Daddy at lunch
con the day it all happened.
pink legs-pink legs-er-let me see,
he answered as he swung his mind from
some great tragic Greek verb to what he
evidently thought was problem in either
biology or anatomy.
"Out on the athletic field" I kindly
helped him along. "He ran and ran, and
the boys on the benches all shouted,
Billiken! Billiken!"
"The gentleman you are asking about
announced the dean, with both dignity
and Indignation, as he set his cup of tea
down with forceful emphasis, "is William
Henry Millbrook, of the School of Theol-
ogy, and the most brilliant student in the
university. His mind is as strong sinewed
as-as-"
"As his legs?" / asked enthusiastically;
then hastened to add as | saw that my
finish for his simile was about to pain
Daddy severely: "He beat whatever run
ners there were from the State University
by feet and feet, maybe yards, and every
body went mad about him. did too,
and l wanted to tell him"
"If you please, Susan my dear, don't
or toll,
these athletics as exercise; but his mind
and time are-are fixed on-on higher
that is, my daughter, trifles like-like-"
Like me, Daddy?" l finished, as went
around to kiss him.
l didn't want to distress the old dear
by telling him that the theological won
der had stopped to pull down branch of
redbud that was trying to steal from the
campus as he came to his room from the
field, and then sat down on the stone wall
by me for so long that l was afraid he
would take cold on account of-the few
clothes he seemed unconscious of the
fact that he had on, or rather didn't
have on.
1t is mighty hard for a girl to tell
red-headed, hazel-eyed man, who is quot
ing Chaucer on Spring to her, that he'll
take cold with his arms and legs all bare,
especially if he is total stranger to her.
And right there is where l began to take
William seriously instead of enjoying him
fully. Why didn't drink in the Chaucer
and forget about the cold rock?
"Well. then, may l come over to the
deans this evening and bring my Chau-
cer?" he asked after had delicately re-
minded him second time that stone

for people scantily clad.

to answer quick so that wouldn't have
to wait years for it. Have William put
two of his most brilliant years in hoeing
potatoes and threshing wheat to make
money to go with me to see the world?
Not if l knew it!
"We'll get it," said under my breath
And this is where the real story begins.
A WOMAN who is deeply in love with
a man in whose arms she is so safe and
happy out under the moonbeams is apt
to forget that it took another woman to
get those arms strong enough to hold her
and to help him keep his hands clean and
his heart pure for her happiness. And as
l planned | entirely left Williams mother
out of my calculations. He says he had
been telling me all about her ever since

taken her in at all even in connection
with the mortgage, and l just went on

pairing his commencement thesis.

the one she left me, as well as the one Aunt

Daddy and the university where mother

allowed him to build Science Hall in her
memory. I decided to go to him and ask
him to build long trip around the world
