at encountering a man who had known

appropriated $4,000. The balance OF
$4,000 was drawn from the treasury
of the institute. When the 100000
recently appropriated by Congress to
reimburse the institute for losses dur
ing the War Between the States has
been put into improvements, Tow UNI
der way, the policy of the institute to
return dollar for dollar of State ex-
penditure for physical equipment will
have been more than equally main
tanned.

at last This was her chance. Hero

ton.

I suppose she tried to resist him-that
night after night in the dark alone she
struggled with herself to give him up
and finally made up her mind to do it?"
But then" she went on. her voice
trembling with eagerness. "he told her
Of the years spent with his wife-the
Hltle, petty mind, the narrow soul, the
selfish demands upon his time, the I'M

She saw the uselessness Of reply and
was silent Meanwhile he began once
more: THE little mink should have tried
to reconcile them"
But suppose she tried to bring them
together at first and used all her infu-
ence to make him promise to live on
with his wife. But presently she saw
that life together only brought out the
worst In both: any further intimacy was
only hypocricy-a sham before the

Stonewall Brown look ed at her grave
ly. He was not thinking out his argu-
fnent, but merely repeating over prin-
ciples that had been handed down to
him for generations. To him there was
no other side-the principles were just
facts and he regarded the girl with
puzzled curiosity that she should Qucs-

Very true. possibly. that they

The girl looked at him triumphant,
as IL confident ut last of gaining a VIC

point OF attack.
Didn't she show what she really was

For the first time hope grew dim In
