She became grave at once. Ger

He interrupted sternly, yet his
voice shook in spite of its sternness.
"You were talking with my Aunt Fan
ny about my mother this afternoon"
AT this Mrs. Johnson uttered an in
voluntary gasp, but she recovered
herself. "Then I'm sure our CONVEX
Sation was very pleasant one, if we
were talking of your mother, be-
cause"
Again he interrupted "My aunt

"NIr Minaferw

81 don't feel called upon to answer,
Mr.. Minafer," she said with visible
agitation. 81 do not consider that you
have any right"
MY aunt told me you repeated this
scandal to her"
81 don't think your aunt can have
said that" Mrs. Johnson returned
sharply. 81 did not repeat a scandal
of any kind to your aunt and l think
you are mistaken in saying she told
you l did. We may have discussed
some matters that have been a topic
OF comment about town"
"Yes!" George cried. II think you
may have! That's what I'm here
about, and what l intend to-"
Don't tell me what you intend,

crisply. "And l should prefer that you
would not make your voice quite so
loud in this house, which l happen to

though l think 1t would have been very
unwise in her If she did, and not very

"YOu have the option Of dropping

tartly, and she added: "Or of leaving

"Tll do that soon enough, but first

A Mountain Day?

Why can't Middlebury College have
a Mountain Day? Even Mt. Holyoke
and Worcester Tech have day set
apart for this purpose, and yet their
mountains are mere hills compared to
our Grand View. Many of us do not
feel as though our cuts" were to be
used for such a purpose, but if just
one day out Of the whole fall were
set aside as our Mountain Day, what
wonderful "hike" the college could
have!
