Reply. That is a hard question for
me-. Personally I do not at all believe
in the system of persistent chaperon-
age, but 1 know many people do and
perhaps they are wiser than 1. To
my mind it is better to hedge a girl
around with high ideals of conduct
than with conventions, but if one
wants to make assurance trebly sure
perhaps both are needed. However,
if one is to believe what one hears
there seems to be rather less wildness

the seats could be used when a meal
was served.

the lamp was burning, and the chill
dren saw around the room ships Of all
kinds. from full-rigged sailing crafts

Yes" she replied, land John and
Tom are with him. L expect them

out across the water. Then she turn
ed the lamp little higher. IT told
them L would keep this light burning
every night, and now 1 light it in the
foggy out there and they might sail
right past if they did not see the
light"
Have they been gone long?" asked
Clara.
Yes replied the old lady, this is
the longest voyage they ever made,
but 1 expect them home today" she
said again"
She went to a table and took up a
picture which she handed to Clara.
Here is their picture" she said.
1t was the photograph of two young
men and an older man, with dark hair
and beard.
Clara and Joseph looked at the pic
ture and then at the old lady, whose
hair was snow white, and wondered
how it happened that her husband
and sons were so young. The old lady
seemed to forget they were in the
room for a few minutes and stood
gazing out of the window in silence.
Then she said:
Did you hear in the village wheth-
er the Nancy Pringle was expected to-
day or not ?"
NO said Joseph, Il never heard
of the Nancy Pringle."
THAT is the name of my husbands
ship" said the old lady. land l am
expecting them today. John and Tom
are with him. This VIII be the last
voyage, for the captain promised
never to leave me again."
They said goodbye to the old lady
and thanked her for showing them
her ships
Come again. said the old lady.
Captain Pringle and my boys will be
here and they will tell you all obout
their voyage"

home they told their uncle about their
strange visit.

One day they walked farther than
usual, and on a point of land a little
way from the water they saw house.
AS they came nearer to it Joseph said:
There is a light in the window"
1T must be the sun shining on the
window pane" said Clara. mo one
would have a light burning in the day
time"
They We're curious to see what it
was and walked nearer. When they
were in front of the house they saw
in the window a lighted lamp.
'"They forgot to blow it out" said
Clara. I'VE ought to tell them, for
the people around here do not have
enough money to waste in that way.
So they went to the door and
knocked A very old lady opened the
door. and Joseph said: I'VE came to
tell you that your lamp is lighted in
the front window. We thought you
forgot to blow it out.
The old lady smiled very sweetly
and shook her head. NO" she said
II have just filled it and lighted it;
now it will burn until night, and then
I will fill it again" The children did
not know just what to say. and the old
lady said: Won't you come in and
see my ships"
Joseph thanked her and she led
them into the kitchen. 1t looked very
queer to Clara and Joseph, for there
were long seats built around the room
and no chairs.

a day of expensive reckoning is
ahead for Kansas if the present legis-
1ature and some to follow it, like the
two which have gone before it. refuse
to make reasonable appropriations for
buildings at the state educational in

met some time, unless Kansas intends
to permit these valuable institutions
of wonderful possibilities to stand still
or fall into a decay. You might as
well try to keep an automobile run

parts as to conduct an educational in

constructing its old buildings or erect
ing new and more ADEQUATE ones in
their stead.
