THE EVENING STORY.
SHOWED IN.
Copyright, 1915, by ". werner),

Faith Owen was tired when she
reached the schoolhouse. She had
struggled through a mile of snow,
which was being added to each mo-
ment by a white storm. On the door
which clung to her coat and knitted
cap, unlocked the door with chilled
fingers and entered.
No place ever looked bleaker than
the interior of that schoolhouse.
Against the windows blue mounds
showed Through one broken pane
which ratified insistently a, sitting of
snow had entered and lay in a pow
derry streak upon the bare floor. The
light was queer and dim, and yet as
Faith shut the door she felt glad to
have it between her and the storm.
The wood box was full of wood and
she made a fire which soon produced
cheering warmth. Then she took off
her rubber boots and put on the old
sake in the corner cupboard. By that
time it was o'clock and no pupil had
appeared. She went to the window
and looked up and down the dim road.
Il wonder If anybody will come" she
thought. 'If I thought not I'd go back
home, for this certainly is terrible
storm and mother will be anxious"
She considered the matter earnestly.
mo; I guess I'd better stay. The Wool
ley boys are sure to come, although
they'll be late. They've had to shovel
out for the stock. I suppose. 1t
wouldn't do for them to come here and
find the schoolhouse closed. Their
father is trustee, and he'd never hire
me another year if he thought I'd
failed in my duty" She left the win
dow and began to do some little neces-
sary things about the room, humming
a tune.
Ten O'Clock came and she was still
alone 1t was quite certain that no
one would come that morning. I'll
wait till 1 o'clock" she said to her
self. land then if they don't come I'll
go home. Mr.. Woolley can't find any
fault with me then"
She had a book in her desk, and.
drawing her chair to the stove. she
put her feen on the fender and began
to read. Absorbed, she was scarcely
aware how time had passed, and 1t was
noon before she knew 1t. She had
brought her dinner In basket. When
she had eaten she put more wood on
the fire and went again to the window

U. OF P. ALUMNI DINE
AT THE UNIVERSITY CLUB
Prof. William E. Lingelback of the
Faculty Principal Speaker at
Annual Banquet.

The annual university dinner of the
University of Pennsylvania alumni was
given at the University Club last night.
Prof. William E. Lingelback of the
university faculty brought greetings
and outlined the growth of the univer-
sity during the i75 years of its exist
ence.
Prof. Lingelback declared that the
present war teaches the crime of in
ferior leadership. He said that the war
was not the expression of the wishes of
the people, but was the result of the
leadership of the men at the head; that
two or three great statesmen could
have averted the war
The United States. he said, faced
problems as important as those of
Europe, and if she were to have the
best leaders in the future, the colleges
must maintain the standards to provide
them.
Chief Justice Covington of the Dis
trict Supreme Court spoke of the in
t1uence of college men in the United
States government.
Surgeon General Gorgas told of the
possibilities of colonization of tropical
lands by white men as a result of sani-
tation.

as soon as it was light enough to see
he crept out. 1t was too early to go
over to Farmer Browns house. Farm
er Browns Boy wouldn't be up yet. So
Happy Jack ran over to one of his
favorite look-outs. a tall chestnut tree.
and there with his back against the
trunk, high above the ground he
watched the Green Forest awake as the
first jolly sunbeams stole through it.
But all the time he kept thinking OF
that dreadful dream.
\ little spot of black moving against
the white snow caught his sharp eyes:
What was it? He leaned forward and
held his breath as he tried to make
sure. All, now he could see. Just
ahead of that black thing was long,
slim fellow, all in white, and that
black spot was his tail. Had it not
wouldn't have seen him at all. 1t was
Shadow the Weasel! He was running
swiftly. first to one side and then to
| the other, with his nose to the snow.
about that. He was hunting for his
breakfast. HAPPY Jacks eyes grew
wide with fear. Would Shadow find
his tracks? 1t looked very much as il
house. and Happy Jack was glad, very
glad that that bad dream had walked
him and made him SO uneasy that he
had come out. Otherwise he might
have been caught right in his own bed
Shadow was almost to Happy Jacks
| house when he stopped abruptly with
his nose to the snow and shifted
eagerly. Then he turned. and, with
his nose to the snow, started straight
toward the tree where Happy Jack was.
Happy Jack waited to see no more. He
knew now that Shadow had found his
trail and that it was to be a case of
run for life.
MY dream has come true.' he sobbed
as he ran, My dream has come true,
and I don't know what to do!'' But
all the time he kept on running as fast
as ever he could, which really was the
only thing to do.

some farmer broke a way for her.
Tired and cold. but resolved not to be
frightened, Faith made her way back

on the fire and sat down to warm her
self and think. Her great concern was
for her mother, who must be worrying
about her. Yet mother was well pro-
vided for. and there was no stock to
feed. 1t troubled her to see that the
wood was low and there was no more
that she could get. Besides. 1t was
growing colder and colder. The wind
