and only discontinued when a box of Havanas stood open on the table. Dur ing the momentary lull thus occa- stoned, l caught the Majors twinkling eyes glancing evasively toward me, as he leaned whispering some further in- structions to Tommy, who again took up his desultory ballad, while l turned and fled for the street, catching, how ever, as I went, and high above the laughter of the crowd, the satire of this quatrain to its latest line:
 But R-R- Riley he'll not go, I guess,
 Lest he'd get lost in the wilderness,
 And so in the city he will shtop
 For to curl his hair in the barber shop,
 It was after six when I reached the hotel, but I had my hair trimmed be- fore I went in to supper. The style of trimming adopted then I still rigidly adhere to, and call 1t the Tommy Stafford stubble-crop."
 Ten days passed before l again saw the Major. Immediately upon his re- turn-it was late afternoon when l heard of it-I determined to take my evening walk out the long street to- ward his pleasant home and call on him there This l did, and found him in a wholesome state of fatigue. slip pers and easy chair enjoying his pipe on the piazza. Of course, he was over flowing with happy "reminiscences of the hunt-the woodland -water-craft- ambushes-decoys, and tramp, and camp, and so on without end but wanted to hear him talk of "The Wild rishman"-Tommy and I think, too, now, that the sagacious Major secretly read my desires all the time. To be utterly frank with the reader l will ad- init that I not only think the Major diyined my interest in Tommy, but I know he did; for at last, as though reading my very thoughts, he abruptly said, after long pause, in which he knocked the ashes from his pipe and refilled and lighted it:-"Well, all l

 The Major WAS leaning forward in the gathering dusk. and evidently studying my own face, the expression of which, Ut that moment, was very grave and solemn, I am sure.

the voice of the enthusiastic Major who was trying to say something could not be heard. Then he said
 "I want to propose that theme The Duck-hunters of the kankakee, for one of Tommy's improyisations. move we have song now from Tom my on the Duck Hunters of the Kan kakee.'"
 "Hurrahl Hurrahl A song from Tommy" cried the crowd. Make us up d song, and put us all into it A song from Tommy song A song :"
 The clamor had subsded, and Tom my had drawn q chair near to and di- rectly in front the Majors. His right hand was extended, closely grasping the right hand of his friend which he scarce perceptibly, though measuredly, lifted and let fall throughout the length of all the curious performance. The voice was not unmuskal, nor was the quaint old ballad air adopted by ! the singer unlovely in the least; sim ply monotony was evident that ac- corded with the levity and chance finish of the Improvisation that his smiling auditors all drew nearer, and Ieant, with parted lips to catch every syllable, the words of the strange melody traied unhesitatinely into the lines literally, as here subjoined:

 That his owld shotgun can't destroy:

BACCALAUREATES
TO TWO CLASSES
Central and Tech Seniors Hear
Words of Advice For
Future

Before large crowds, baccalaureate
sermons were delivered yesterday to
more than seniors of the Central and
Technical high schools by the Rev. DR..
George Edward Hawes, of Market
Square Presbyterian Church, and the
Rev. S. Winfield Herman. of Zion
Lutheran Church.
Attired in caps and gowns the stu
dents of the Central high school form
ed at the building and marched to
the Market Square church last even
ing, when DIR. Halves spoke to the stu
dents. He used as his theme the story
of Moses and the burning bush and de-
clard that education gives the power
to investigate. He also spoke of the
primitiveness of beliefs in superstitions
and supernatural events, and stated
that education overcomes this Almost
so students were present and the
church was esvecially decorated tor
the occasion. Several special musical
numbers were given.
In the morning more than so stu
dents of the Technical high school at
tended the services in the Zion Luther
an Church. the Rev. Mr. Herman using
as his text jeremiah 9: 1924, Thus
saith the Lord, Let not the wise man
glory In his wisdom, neither let the
mighty man glory in his might. let
not the rich man glory in his riches
But let him that glorieth glory in this,
that he understandeth and knoweth
me, that l am the Lord which exer-
else loving kindness, judgment and
righteousness in the earth; for in these
things l delight, saith the Lord"
The subject of the sermon was "The
Necessary Conquest and the Vital
knowledge" The Rev. Mr.. Herman
told of the type of men the world
honors to-day and declared that an
imvortant factor was conquering over
self. He then stated that true man
hood resulted from the value of per-
sonality, the control of self and the
relation of the person to God. In
bringindg out these points he empha-
sized the importance of kindness. just
tice and righteousness. The floral de-
signs were arranged for by DR.. Charles
b. Eager, principal of Technical high
school, in honor of the five members of
the alumni association who have died
Special music was included in the pro-
gram.

Come here a moment" and as Helen
moved over to him Warren kissed her
lightly. 1t was a kiss given not so
much for the sake of tenderness out
given to make peace. A kiss that every
women understands. 1t is the kiss OF
the male who instinctively dreads
surcharged atmosphere. The kiss given
to square himself, given for that pur-
pose, and in a great many instances
when the man does not realize just now
clearly a woman sees through him.
Helens response was not obvious, and
Warren seized her by the shoulders
and shook her playfully.
"Everything's all right, isn't it?' he
said. 'Why do you act so funnyY
"I don't I was just wondering how
1t would really feel, Warren, to have
you kiss me because you couldn't help
yourself"
There you are again. wanting the

man, not an impassioned Romeo. If
you are looking for wild display OF

Helen went out to the kitchen re-
volving matters in her mind slowly.
She wondered whether Warren really
believed her or whether he had said
he did to prevent any more converse
tion about Miss Evans. For the first
time since that unfortunate affair a
small amount of suspicion awakened in
Helens heart. But she put 1t quickly
aside.
If she once began to suspect War
rem their happiness would be forever
ruined. She would not believe any
thing and she had no reason to dream
of such a thing. AS she reached the
diningroom the bell rang. and uncon-
scious that she still held the much
discussed picture in her hand, she went
to the door and opened it. On the
threshold was Ned Burns, bluff and i'm
perturbable.

Helen hardly knew what to think OF
the photograph OF Ned Burns, but 1t was
hard to convince Warren of this fact.
"Of course II seems strange, dear"
she admitted in an effort to explain.
Il don't really see why he sent it,"
Don't you really know where he is
at PRESENT."

. regular siren, don't you? First that
kid at Colon. and now your old flame
that you were probably engaged to
before you met me-"
That's not trve, and you know it
isn't, Warren Curtis"
Helen might have added that 1t
wasn't because Ned hadn't asked her,
and that there had been other men be-
sides Ned who had cared for her. But
she knew better than to enrage War
rem through jealousy. Every time he
made such a fuss about Ned Burns. a
man in whom Helen was only slightly
interested, she longed to speak of Miss
Evans, who had nearly wrought havoc
in the Curtis household Helens sense
of good taste was the only thing that
kept her from reminding Warren of a
matter that he had apparently forgot
ten.
She could not help thinking of that
time, of her suffering of the part in
which Warren had been to blame. sure
ly none of the things that Warren
thought so dreadful in her could be
compared to the, great mistake he had
made in his treatment of his stenog-
rapher
What are you going to do with the
thing?' Warren inquired from the
depths of the most comfortable chair
in the livingroom. 'I suppose you will
frame it and hang 1t over your dressing
table"
Warren. why are you so unreason-
able? You are always angry If I do
not understand when you try to ex-
plain things to me-"
Helen Answers Back
Now exactly what do you mean by
that remark?" said Warren.
II might simply say that I was more
reasonable about the affair of last
year than you are about this photo
graph OF Neds.'.
The thing was out and Helen was
sorry that she had said it.
Il knew that you were still brood
ing about that thing" said Warren
irritably. IT'S lack of belief and trust
in a man that makes him turn to other
women these days"
Warren. I'm sorry I mentioned that
affair." said Helen. II know | shouldn't t
have, but 1T makes me so angry when
you refuse to believe me-"
Does that mean that you have to
rake up an affair that happened last
year and blame me all over again
for a moment of weakness"
So he admitted 1t was a weakness.
This was the first time that Warren
had thought of such a thing
II have said that l am sorry. Let's
drop the subject and Ned with it. I
have told you everything you wish to
know, Warren. You knew when l saw
Ned last time that I told him he must
never come to the apartment again.
You believed me then. Why don't you
now?"
Il do believe you now" said War
rem in an effort to be broad. But you
must admit that seeing that picture
might awaken doubt in a man."
