SANDRA REslzNTS BARRETTS
ATTENTIONS TO ROSE.
CHAPTER XLVII.

At eleven o'clock I excused myself
and ordered a little supper served.
Oh, how 1 enjoyed it! 1 don't mean
the pper;0altho that was dainty and
delicious, but the freedom-the feel
ing that was doing as l wanted, just
as Leola had done.
Yet in spite of my pleasurable even
ing, regardless of my being for once
able to do as pleased, even to wear
ing my hair high, 1 had a distinct
feeling of annoyance. 1 realized that
Rose had been more than nice to
Barrett-that she had made what we
girls at home used to call "a dead
set for him.
My wish that they would marry
had vanished. 1t now seemed to me
not desirable. I cannot explain why
felt this way; 1 made no attempt
to analyze the change. And when
Barrett left 1 was delighted that he
held my hand longer than he did
Roses and seemed to feel more re-
greet at parting with me than with
her.

exclaimed. And didn't I'VE have a
perfectly lovely time? 1t is wonder
full to be able to entertain as you
can. Do you know if 1 knew him

Call who Barry?' 1 asked, pre-

long have you known him."
Almost ever since 1 have been

very well together, but it is always
more pleasure for me to listen to a
man sing than it is to woman"
Thank you" I replied dryly.

like to hear you sing. But 1t Is Diff

A BoLsHEvIsr PROFESSOR?


DePauw university is suffering bit
of unpleasant notoriety from lack of
due caution, it would seem, in the Sc
lection of a new professor of sociol-
ogy. President Grose had chosen Ar
thur w. Calhoun for the position, to
begin service in September. the per-
manency of the appointment being
conditioned upon approval by the
board OF trustees, to whom the mat
ter would be referred on the occasion
OF their next regular meeting. Ten
tative appointments of this kind are,
OF course. of everyday occurrence in
college administration. In the mean
time. however, United States District
Attorney Clyne. of Chicago. has given
to the press a letter by Professor CAL
houn in which radical socialistic views
are expressed. with unmistakable in
dication of his disposition to use his
professorshp for the active propaga-
tion of such views. He is not sure of
the possibility of 1.-THE immediate rev.
olution." but is convinced that it can
be fastened by spreading the notion
that it can come soon. To that end,
he believes in keeping ultimates ever.
lastingly in the center of attention, to
the exclusion of mere puttering re-
forms" Confiscation is one of the
measures to which he declares his
firm adherence. incidentally, he men,
lions visit from a representative of
the Nation. who assured him that its
circulation had greatly increased since
II became Bolshevist." Greencastle
dispatches state that the publication
Of his letter has caused much indig-
nation in DePauw university circles
and It seems doubtful whether his ap-
pointment, not yet passed upon by the
trustees. will be allowed to stand. No
doubt certain organs of radical agita-
ton will see in this a violent assault
upon freedom of thought. and a grave
peril to democracy. But the common
sense OF the American people revolts
against the idea of turning our col
leges into tools for the destruction of
the very civilization to which they owe
their existence. The claim that free
dom of thought and utterance re-
quires any such policy is absurd.

How wonderful are words-their
actual formation. their meanings. their
possibilities, their responsibilities.
All that We are is a representation
of what words have meant to us.
How words can hurt-but, OH, how
they are able to lift and inspire and
lead. For it is the use to which words
are put that make them agents of i'll
or greatness
Think-before you send your words
out into the world to do their job.
Words travel very fast They some
times have a thousand legs And no
eagle ever matched their speed or
space. Words net the world and bind
it, tho only to give it life and vitality
Words have nves-like people. too.
