"I laughed" she said, because you
have been deceived" And she added
quickly, II don't believe it's quite SO
deep on the sidewalk, is it?" With
that she waded away toward the curb.
He followed, then led the way to
lee wall that offered, comparatively
speaking, shelter. Then, "Where's the
deception?" he asked.
On any other day, it's probable she'd
have acted differently-would have
paid some heed, though a bit con-
temptously, perhaps, to the precepts of
ladylike behavior, in which she'd been
admirably grounded. Today being to-
day, she consigned ladylike considera-
tions to the inventor of them, and
gave instinct its head.
She laughed again as she answered
his question: "The deception was that
I pretended to do it from principle.
The real reason why shouldn't pay
another fare is that I only had one
more nickel. It's only about half a
mile to the station, but from there
home it's ten. So you see I'd rather
walk this than that"
"But that's Dreadful" he cried.
"Isn't there Couldn't you let

"Oh," che said, at isn't as bad as
that. It's just one Of the silly things
that happen to you sometimes, you
know. I paid my subscription to The
Maroon. :" She didn't laugh
audibly, but without seeing her face
he knew she smiled, the quality of her
voice enriching itself somehow.
"And l ate a bigger lunch than usual,
and that brought me down to ten
cents"
"You will make a complaint about
that, won't your" he urged. "Even If
it wasn't on principle that you refused
to pay another fare? And let me back
you up in it. I've his number. you

said, because you did get off the car

we could prove that paid my fare,
they'd probably think the conductor
did exactly right. OF course he took
hold of me, but then-well, think what
I did to him!"
He grumbled that this was nom
sense-the man had been guilty at least
Of excessive zeal-but he didn't urge
her, any further, to complain.

now announced, peering around the
end Of the wall. You will let me

UNFITNEss DUE TO ALCOHOL.

According to Lieut.. W. Randolph
Angel. U. 8. N. R. F., examining Off
Ger of the Boston recruiting station.
nearly every man failing to pass the
physical examinations on application
for enlistment in the United iStates
Marine corps is refused partly because
of conditions directly traceable to the
use of alcohol before maturity. The
adverse effect of even the moderate
use of intoxicants are revealed In the
examinations, and Lieutenant Angel
declares that the conditions which
make such state of affairs should be
abolished at once.

ARMY OFFICERS AND ALCOHOL.

Under the above caption the "How to
Be Healthy" department of the Chi
cago Herald, conducted by the Life E1-
tension institute, has timely article.
It says in part:
"Grenfell, Kitchener and Roberts Of
Great Britain, Won Haeseler Of Ger
many and Wahlberg of Finland, have
testified that, from their keen observa-
ton on soldiers engaged in warfare,
abstainers from alcohol can stand up
under hard work better than nonab-
stainers, even though they drink in So
called moderation.
"A certain doctor took two gangs Of
soldiers and set them to work at the
same kind of manual labor. To one
gang he gave an alcoholic beverage.
To the other gang he gave none. The
gang without the alcohol did far more,
work than the gang with it.
"The next time he tried the same,
experiment he shifted the gangs. Again
the gang without the alcohol did the
most work, showing that the result of
the first experiment was not due to a
superiority Of the men,"

II, somehow, she had outgrown them.
The feeling was none the less real
after she had laughed at herself for
entertaining it.
She noticed presently that it was a
good deal darker than it had any
right to be Mt this hour. and the sudden
fall Of the breeze and a persistent
simmer Of lightning supplied her with
the explanation. When she reached

look Of despair. "He's walked through

She was mistaken about that,
though. For once Frederick had over
estimated her powers, stimulated
though they were by the way she heard
her husband say:
praise heaven you can wear my
clothes. Run along upstairs and break
yourself gently to Freddy"
She heard him come squudging up
the stairs and along the hall, and
then in her doorway she saw him. His
baggy gray tweed suit was dark with
| water and toned down by a liberal
stipple of mud spatters. Both his side
pockets had been, apparently, strained
to the utmost to accommodate what
looked like a bunch of pasteboard-
bound notebooks, now far on the way
to their original pulp, and Topped de-
| spondently outward. A melancholy
pool had already begun forming about
his feet. His face, above the dis
NAL wreck, beamed good-humored, in
nocent affection at her. It was q
big-featured, strong, rosy face, and the
unmistakable intellectual power of it,
which became apparent the moment
he got his faculties into action, had
a trick of hiding, at other times, behind
a mere robust simplicity.
"Good gracious " he said. II didn't
know you were going to have a party.
I thought it would just be the family.
So instead Of dressing, I thought I'd
walk. And then it came on to rain,
SO took a street car-and got put
OF. And here I am"
Eyes, here you are" said Frederica.

even know whose birthday party this

He looked at her, frowned, then
laughed. He had a great, big laugh.

he said.

begged his pardon, and assured him
she'd try to do better.
Another girl who had been waiting
to speak to the professor, perceiving
that their conversation was at an end,
came and stood beside her at the desk
"a scrawny girl with an eager voice,
and a question she wanted to ask about
Robespierre; and for some reason
or other, Rosalind Stanton's valedic-
tory smile seemed to include a con-
sciousness Of this other girl-a con-
sciousness Of contrast. It might not
have been any more than that, but
somehow it left the professor feeling
that he had given himself away.
There is nothing cloistral about the
University of Chicago except its
architecture. AS she went out Rose
felt that the presence of a fat abbot
or lady prioress In the corridor
outside the recitation-room would have
fitted in admirably with the look of
the warm gray walls and the carven
pointed arches of the window and
door easements, the blackened oak of
the doors themselves.
She wasn't fully conscious of it on
this March morning, but something
had happened that made a difference.
If she'd been ascending an impercep-
tible gradient for the past months,
today she had come to a recognizable
step up and taken 1t. Oddly enough,
the thing had happened back there in
the classroom as she stood before the
professors desk and caught his eye
wavering between herself and the
scrawny girl who wanted to ask a
question about Robespierre. There
had been more than blank, helpless
evaporation in that look Of his, and
it had taught her something. She
couldn't have explained what.
She went swinging along alone, her
shoulders back, confronting the warm
March wind, drawing long breaths into
her good deep chest. She had just
had, psychically speaking, a birthday
She played a wonderful game Of
basketball that afternoon, and it was
nfter five o'clock when, at the con
clusion of the game and cold shower
u rub, and a somewhat casual re-
sumption Of her clothes, she emerged
from the gymnasium. High time that
she took the quickest way Of getting
home, unless she wanted to be late fol-
dinner.
But the exhilaration of the day per.
sisted. She felt like doing something
out of the regular routine. Even q
preliminary walk Of mile or SO before
she should cross over and take the
elevated, would serve to satisfy her
mild hunger for adventure.
So. with her notebooks under her
arm and her sweater-jacket unfasten-
ed at good four-mile swing she
started north. In the purlieus of the
university she was frequently hailed
by friends of her own sex or the other.

spOnses to their greetings. she made

PUBLIC scHooLTEAcHER's VIEW

rOo6lS 9Nn0O6 E\S16no Vb6Vs
A Chicago teacher, writing to the
Illinois Issue, calls attention to one
feature Of the liquor evil which "edi-
tors and doctors and reformers over
look" namely, the "immeasurable
waste In teachers efforts caused by al
coholism." In regions, she says,
"where saloons have always been
abundant and conditions of living
usually because Of alcoholism-are
bad, at least one-third of the aver
age teachers time Is required to
merely hold in check and partially de-
velop the children Of alcoholics. Most
dren have alcoholism in their families,
and the sins of the father are Visited
upon the children even unto the third
and fourth generation. -...- i.
'sThese children have one grave fault
In common. They cannot concentrate
the mind long on any one subject-not
long enough to follow the thought Of
the lesson. In some this takes the
form Of irritation or rebellion, and in
others there is the stupor, the dead
ness, that defles the most interesting
lesson and the most magnetic teacher.
"Of course this waste Is a loss to
the normal pupils. whose teaching
must lag while these weak ones are
given special help. If we could elimi-
nate wholly the effects Of alcoholism,
which would require more than one
generation. elementary education
might easily be accomplished in seven
or even six years instead Of eight
years. as at present required.
"High school and college teachers
would probably not agree with this
statement, for the simple reason that
the descendants Of alcoholics seldom
get to high school or college,"

romance for a period Of several

new complications in the busi-

Real Adventure" Is thoroughly
alive with action. You will en-

that will make you think-and
