The Story of a Young Girls Struggles
The Fortunes Of Fanny
Fanny Tells Crandall he Never Wants to See
Him Again.
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

~HE Monday after Christmas was
gray and raw. 1t was too cold
\ to snow, people said, yet every
few minutes a few flakes would whirl
downward The east wind blew
steadily from the river, whtstling and
piping about the plate glass windows
and doors of the Cairo barber shop.
1t was the noon hour. and Fanny
felt too chilly to care to go out 10
She wandered if she had caught cold,
or if she was not yet rested from the
celebration Of Saturday. Yesterday
she had been so tired that she had
spent much of her time in bed. She
aid not know that she was still feel
ing the effects of the hours of strain
and misery she had gone through
At noon time the shop was almost
deserted. as was often the case at this
hour. Two men were IN the rear o.
the room, but, until Angelo returned

the same subject that had kept her
awake all night was still torturing
her. Crandall had not been IN touay'
so she had not been able to make as
surance doubly sure by asking him the
question she dreaded to put to him, yet
which she was determined to ask.
AS her eyes fell on Angelo return
ing to his post, a sudden thought
seized her Perhaps she could make
the boy talk as freely as he sometimes

asked as he approached her IN answer
to her forced smile.
''Yaas." the boy replied.

any amusement at the boys misunder-

now.
Late that afternoon Crandall came
into the shop. He went back to speak
to Mr.. Hail, then stopped at her ia

afternoon. All the light seemed to have
gone from her eyes and men were not
tempted to linger to compliment her.
When Crandall met her at the cor
ner he took her by the arm and led
her away from the crowded thorough
fare and brilliant electric lights to a
quiet cross street.
why won't you go out with me to-
morrow night?" he demanded as soon
as they were where they could talk
without being overheard. He slackened
his pace and drew her hand through
his arm. but she withdrew it. She felt
weak and shaky. II she was going to
speak at all, she must do so at once
or her courage would fall.
Because, Mr.. Crandall" she said,
her voice unsteady, you are mar
She listened in agony for his reply.
There was not the indignant denial

surprised her.

married? Do you believe every body
who tattles to you?"
Il saviour wife-with you yester-
day. I heard somebody call her by your

Then you found it out for your

NOYES-A POET OF THE PAST

Alfred Noyes, who will lecture In
Columbia November %, is a poet of
the past He sings of the past in the
language of the past. He is trying to
preserve the old poetical traditions,
which have been SO vigorously a.
tackled by Henley and Kipling. In the
Tales of the Mermaid Tavern" his
imagination carries him back to the
times of Beaumont and Fletcher, Ba-
con, Shakespeare, Raleigh, Johnson
and Marlowe. He sings "A Song of
Sherwood" "a Triple Ballad of Old
Japan" "The Death of Chopin" and
Drake" Always he uses the figures
and illusions of other days. Even
when he attempts such modern SUBJ
ject as "On Railway Platform" he
uses none of the words which Kipling
would, such as telephone" "tele-
graph" tracks" or even "glistening
rails" AS Noyes writes it, it sounds
like the love song of an Elizabethan.
He never writes in the free verse Of
Henley. A stanza from the "Pirates''
will show his attitude toward the past:
Come to me, you with the laughing
face, in the night as 1 lie
Dreaming Of days that are dead and
of joys gone by;
Come to me. comrade, come through
the slow dropping rain,
Come from your grave in the dark
ness and let us be pirates again.

SAFETY FIRST IN MATRIMONl

1t Is strange that man, whom scien-
lists call the reasoning animal, should
depend so much upon feeling and SO
little upon thought for guidance in the
most important event outside of his
birth and death Woman, too, relies
mainly upon feeling and her chances.
Lovers are first attracted to each 9th
er in some mysterious and inexplain-
able way; the case becomes worse;
they decide they cannot live without
each other; they get married. There
are many variations On this simple
scheme. Opposition by irate fathers
and broken-hearted mothers seem only
to increase the matrimonial mortality.
Kipling asks somewhere, 'How can
a man who has never married, who
cannot be trusted to pick up at sight
a moderately sound horse. whose head
is hot and upset with visions of do
mestic felicity, go about choosing

By Our Own Geo. Ade.

Once there was girl with all the
modern improvements. She could
dance with a freshman from Centra-
liza without publicly betraying any #
the results. Also she could accurate
ly describe the cover design of Robert
W. Chambers latest effusion and
found little difficulty in remembering
the telephone numbers Of all the fra
ternities except one. She was no pix
er.
She had a Steady Caller. Why,
Heaven knows. One night when he
went to push her doorbell he heard
a great commotion within and discov-
,ered from the cook that she was the
goat for an Equal Rights gathering.
He slipped the cook a dime and
ventured forth to point of vantage
behind the $3.9S portieres, where he
stopped, looked and listened.
The object of his Affections was
there with the goods. It was plain
that all looked to her as the main
heeler, for she was the swellest dress
er in the convention.
The clamorers for Rights drank tea
and glared at one another's dresses
for three hours and then adjourned
until the following year.
The steady caller slipped out and
melted into the night.
For two years he had believed that
she was paste and now he found that
she was precious jewel.

THE EFFICIENCY EXPERT

Thirty-three Columbia business
men recently failed to give startlingly
accurate answers to questions con-
cerning the source of profits and loss
es In their business. Yet Columbia
has its share of fairly successful busi-
ness men.
Every man who conducts thriving
business need not be an efficiency ex-
pert. In fact, the efficiency man is
seldom anything else. The business
man may as well not know what is the
proportion of his stock loss to bad
accounts as to know this relation and
spend all the time trying to find out
what the proportion is in other busi-
ness concerns. 1t is just as well for
a business man to be able to say his
business is so arranged that it Is
paying as to be able to tell in what
proportion it pays and let it lose in
better ones by attention to efficiency
Lack of attention to business is
just as bad when caused by a study
of efficiency as by general ignorance
or neglect.

Short Course Students Learn to Handle
Min and Cream Probably.
Seventy short course students are
entered in the practical dairy courses
this year. These courses teach meth
DDS Of handling milk and cream in a
sanitary way. of handling separators
and Of making butter. More than so
per cent of the milk in the United
States is produced on the ordinary
farm as a supplement to general
farming, rather than on strictly dairy
farms.
The sanitary handling of dairy pro-
ducts Is neglected on the average farm.
The course points out simple and prac-
tical methods Of caring for milk to
prevent loss. A thorough knowledge
Of the separator is important, as it
enables farmers to lengthen the life
Of the machine.
