gold across the lake in front of her.

.'Some way | wish. though. 'twere un-

She threw out her hands in a gesture
OF impatience with herself. Then she
drew a letter from the pocket of her
walking skirt and reread it. 1t bore
the postmar9 of a distant college town
and was brief.
Stoddard Parker was completing his
college course and in three months
would sail FOR Hongkong to represent
the interests of u large shipping firm.
In two days he would pass through
Lake Castro and had found that be

For eight years she had been the
favorite tea,her and. as she styled her
self, the mother confessor to the stu
dents of "a c,llege preparatory institute

and mental equipments. 1t was their
habit to consult her on every subject
from the color of their cravats to their
love affairs, TO quote her as final aIs-
thority on every subject. to-
Clyde abruptly ceased her r~everie,
stuffed the letter into her pocket and
arose. Along the path above the rocks
she swung with a free. graceful and
independent step. She was tall and
slender, with too much of the mental
and spiritual and too little of the
physical for perfect symmetry either
in form or character. Her face was
colorless, save when emba IRA ssment
touched her cheeks aflame. Her eyes,
uninterested, were cold, but when the
spirit of vivacity possessed her they
glowed and sparkled with fun and wit,
transforming her into the fascinating
woman around whom the institute stu
dents grouped themselves collectively
and w~orshiped.
The following day she received a tele-
gram:

The hot color suddenly flooded her

She spoke with conviction, and yet
with her hand trailing in the water
the sunny lake looked cold. the billy
wooded shores seemed desolate. and
her long vacation stretched out before
her in endless monotony.
Parker bent silently to his oars. He
had come for the purpose of paying his
| debt to his teacher, and. denied that
privilege, she thought he had nothing
further to say. She clasped her hands
over her knees presently and broke the
| silence herself.

The blood rushed over Clyde's face,
"Oh. l don't mean that! don't mean
that! l mean a man! Are you going
to conduct the business alone?'
She did not hear his reply. the blood
in her ears made such a noise. Her
embarrassment angered her. What
would he think of it? She was making
a dismal failure of her role.
Twenty minutes before train time

tree and entered the path through the
grove, Parker ahead. Clyde followed.
weary with the mental strain of the
past two hours.
Between twin oaks which overhung
the path Parker suddenly stopped and
turned resolutely around.
Now" he began in a low. full voice.
II shall tell you what l came to say
and you shall not stop me-" His tone
was masterful, and his eyes shone with
purpose. Impulsively he caught his hat
off and stood before her uncovered.
There were things you taught me at
the institute which l might have learn
ed otherwise. While / thank you for
them all, there is something / learned
which you w meant to teach me,
which no one else has ever taught
me- His voice broke. THAT is what
| came here today to thank you for.
My love for you has been my spur,
my safeguard and my strength. I have
never written to you, because If l did
l must say this and perhaps carry the
impression that l expected a return.

Clyde's face paled. She leaned against
the oak. Love me, your mother con-
fessor, so much older
colder !" Parker's voice was scorn-
full. He suddenly came nearer. What
are three years to stand in the way of
a mans love? And as to the mother
confessor''- He tossed the expression
aside with an expressive gesture.
Over the trestle roared the mail train,
out neither heard it. In Clyde's eyes
shone all the hunger of her nature,
and the mother confessor merged into
the simple loving woman in Parker's
arms.

PARK VIEW PROPOSALS
ATTRACT ATTENTION
General Discussion Starts of Citi.
zens' Suggestions for
District.

Three propositions inaugurated by the
Park View Citizens Association Tuesday
night We're the subject OF general COM
ment yesterday and promise to attract
considerable attention before the summer
is out. They are the proposals to nave
the next vacancy on the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners filled by repre-
sentative citizens association man 10 IN
troduce the two platoon system into the
District fire department. and to employ
the ballot for the first time in haif cen
fury in electing District ofnciai VINO
is to be compensated out of public FUNDS.
The latter proposition will have Its
fulfllment next Tuesday night IN the
Park View School. when every adult mem
Der of that community will be asked TO
vote for a community secretary ms
official will be paid from funds appropri-
ated by Congress for community center
work
The suggestion to have the next Dis
trict Commissioner named from the ranks
of the citizens associations is one that
will be advocated actively, should Com
missioner Newman, who Is In the Or
f1cers' Reserve Corps training camp at
Fort Myer. receive his commission IN the
army and resign from the local post IN
this event, the Federation of Citizens As
sociations will call a special meeting or
convention to consider a nominee. lf
representative can be selected that all the
associations will support it is believed
his recommendation will receive serious
consideration by President Wilson
With respect to the two platoon sys-
tenn. the Park View Association has
appointed committee to urge upon the
commissioners the trying out OF this
system in engine company "a. on
Georgia avenue with a view to de-
termning its practica bility for intro
ductlon in the department generally.
instead of firemen being continuously
on duty. as is now the case. puder the
proposed system they would work one
shift each of twelve hours every day.
The companies would require fourteen
men, instead of the twelve as at pres
ent. Philadelphia has adopted the two
platoon system. Notwithstanding IT
called for an appropriation for the en-
ployment Of additional men. Chicago.
Boston and. in all. thirty large cities
nave adopted this plan. Should the
proposed experiment in the Georgia
avenue house prove satisfactory. the
Park View association will actively
urge before Congress that it include
a sufficient appropriation in the next
District appropriation act to make pos
slble the adoption of the system for
the department as a whole.
