RUTH'S FIRST NIGHT IN A SLEEP
 PING CAR

Ruth was going alone on a long trip and for the first time in her life would
 have to sleep on the train. Ruth, her father and mother were at the station much too early because Ruth was so afraid she would miss the train. Just before the train came Ruth's father said, Here, Ruth, is some money for you to spend while you are away, and gave her. two new ten dollar bills -Oh, thank you, father; that is all most more money than I will be able to spend, but can buy you and mother something nice with some of it'' Just as Ruth was putting the money in her purse she looked up and saw man watching her. He had dark hair and piercing black eyes. Ruth particularly noticed his hands which were ornamented with showy rings
 He had on shoes which were shining black and the toes came to sharp point
 At that time the train came into the station, so Ruth forgot this man for the time being As soon as the train stopped. Ruth with the aid of her father got aboard and found her seat. She had time to kiss her father goodby before the train started. Her fathers parting words were Ruth be sure and don't try to make too many friends, because if you do you may get into trouble Be sure to have a good time while you are away"
 As soon as the train started Ruth got book out to read. She had read but three pages when someone sat down Tn the opposite seat. which meant he was to have the berth above her. As she raised her eyes from her book the first thing she noticed were the shoes. They were those of the man who watched her before she got aboard the train. Yes, it was the same man.
 Ruth was frightened but she tried n h h1r. %tx~-. little later in the evening the man tried to start conversation with Ruth, but Tailed because Ruth remembered her fathers parting words
 That night after Ruth was in her berth she heard the strange man climb into his When she knew that he was in his berth she felt that it was safer to go to sleep. but before she settled down she felt to see if her purse was safe.
 It was not very long before she was in dreamland because she was quite tired She had been busy all that day.
 Along in the middle of the night Ruth woke up and saw a hand which she recognized as that of a strange man slipping between the curtains very slowly. It kept coming farther into her berth. Ruth was filled with terror Tn fact she was so frightened that she lay still and watched the hand creep nearer and nearer the pillow which was hiding her purse. Ruth thought she ought to call for help. but when she tried to call she found she had no voice. By this time she was so frightened that she sat up suddenly in her berth, causing her to bump her head on the top. This time she really awakened and found that ner purse was safe and her fearful experience was only a dream

A FRoLIc OF THE NORTH WIND

One nice summer day when all the flowers were in bloom and the birds sang their sweetest songs, North Wind, Junior, who was a very bad boy, asked his father if he might go out and play for a while. His father told him he could. but not to go outside of his own yard. North Wind didn't like his own yard as well as he did the neighbors. so he decided to slip away. His father would never miss him and he wouldn t be gone long, so he went.
 First he came to a beautiful garden which was full of flowers of all kinds. North Wind danced with joy when he saw them. He first came to a lovely white lily which stood very tall and straight and he danced and howled around her until she bent her head to the ground. Then he came to the violet and then to the rose; he howled and danced around them all until they too dropped their heads from his cold breath blowing on them. After all the flowers and grass were ruined and he was about to return home, MT. North Wind came down the street and saw what his son had done. He took his son home and switched him .soundly and sent him to bed, and, for further punishment, he was sentenced to his room until November.

BACK TO YOUTH

(Continued) | We wonder what has happened tc Flora Ludwig. When this department opened we were glad for her word oi appreciation. We would like to sec more of her work on this page. BACK TO YOUTH l One evening Sam stayed later than usual. When he rose to go, he, stood 1 looking down at her.
 Sometimes, he said I'm almost sorry I've met you" Why" puzzled.
 ''I'Il never be happy just wandering around the country-Oh,'' with a little hopeless gesture. you don't know what I mean"
 Are you sure?'' softly With a swift movement he bent over she felt his lips on her Eair-her in- voluntary, sam. brought him to him. self. I'm sorry he said. his voice a little husky, T had no right to let you see that I cared.'
 After that he left her. shaken, frightened, wondering. He did not come again for several evenings. Then they met in the office. and each tried to appear at ease. but a little doubt had eaten it's way into Mar garets heart-was he.. after all that kind? It was with a sense of happy relief that she opened the door to him the next evening.
 They were a little awkward at first. then Sam stopped in the middle of a sentence:
 bush?" he said. 'I want to tell you about myself" There followed a long recital ending in his college days He and two of his pals had left college to enlist in the Canadian army, and were sent to France in few months. There were several battles and then the un- expected gas attack. He and one of his pals were gassed, spending a num- Der of months in the hospital in France.
 Then they shipped us back. and. wasn't in the hospital three months back home. I've got discharge that reads wounded in action and the doctor says I'll carry the scars to my grave. I'm here because my lungs can't stand the winters back home" Ills voice had grown bitter.
 "Oh. I'm so sorry" Margaret felt a sudden impulse to comfort him. this boy.
 And so you see.'' he finished hope lessly. T had no right to even think of you. I don't know what is the mat ter with mel suppose lost my head a little.'' After a pause, Do you sup pose we could be just pals?"
 +"Of course,'' she answered.-but they knew it was too late. Yet they went about this new game like two happy children, 1t was wonderful just to be together
 'Isn't Sam coming rather Qften?" Aunt Mary asked one day.
 Were just poing to be pals" Mary explained quickly.
 When two young people attemR that one of the usually gets hurt her aunt remarked, adding gently. T hope 1t won't be you"
 Margaret looked at her quickly, sur prised at this new tone in her voice, but Aunt Mary had turned away. it came to the girl with sudden new meaning that Aunt Mary had never married-she wondered.
 I'm sure I shan't lose my head, anc . know that Sam won't of course" Margaret defended. She hardly knew why she had adopted this attitude of defense when Sam's name was men toned between them.
 Her aunt turned to her with sudden 1 ierceness, eff he thinks he is going to !! muse himself with you while he's 1 lere-" the look of half anger on Mar | .aret's face stopped her. Then they 1 lropped the subject.

Tn the beginning God created and God saw that it was good
 Young Writers: In these days wt are having evidences that the cultura and the practical, once so antagonistic are joining hands-a triumph in the educational world, putting vocational training in an exalted place. As long as the practical is touched by art-by the joy of creation. no one can deny its cultural value.
 In the issue before last there was an interesting article on vocational train ing by Raymond Blount that made an excellent beginning for further discus sion of the same subject. Do you think there is any danger in a strictly voca- tlonal course2 What place should the classics have2 Is there any cultural value in a profession followed without pleasure but simply for the money ? What qualities make for success? What Is your idea of success? How soon ought you to begin to think about your natural bent? Do you think it is possible for everyone to be happy Tn his work2
 The poem that follows ought to de- light many girls. Perhaps the boys. too, may like it if they apply the idea to manual training or to anything they do for the simple joy of doing it.

FOOTBALL PLAYERS
DO FOLK DANCES TO
GET ION THEIR TOES"

AMHERST, Mass, May 17.-Folk
dancing as training for football is
being given candidates for the Mass
achusetts Agricultural College this
spring Instead of lunging and tack
ling against a dummy, husky can
didates for places on the "Aggies'
line are being taught the intricacies
and graces of the English folk dances.
Thirty men with the broadne3N of
shoulder and bulk of frame necessary
to the efficient football lineman, are
learning to do gracefully the hand
kerchiefs folk dances known as "Lauo-
anum Bunches,' and to trip lightly
through other steps of the old dane
ing school For a time they were
embarrassed as, waving white hand
kerchiefs in the air they piroutted
on one toe with an arm ana hand
extended, but they have since taken
to the dances and appear to enjoy it.
The object of the dancing instruct
ion to the football men is to improve
the coordination of mind and muscle
and to keep the players constantly
ION their toes"

COAST LEAGUE BOSS
MAKES FIRST MOVE
TO STOP GAMBLING

SAN FRANCISCO, May IA
drive to stamp out gambling en-
baseball games in the coast league
parks, was opened SATURDAY. with an
announcement by President William
Mccarthy of the coast league that
three known gamblers" would hence
forth be barred from all parks in
the league.
Mccarthy stated that indirectly"
the action was connected with the
recent unconditional release of pitch
ers Tom Seaton and Casey Smith
by the San Francisco club
Il would close every park in the
league rather than permit gambling
to continue" Mccarthy declared,
Baseball is the one sport that must
be kept clean 1t cannot be kept
clean if these influences are per-
mitted to thrive. Irrespective of the
consequences, every known gambler
and they are and will be known
is going to be expelled from our
parks.
Directly this action has nothing
to do with the dismissal of players
Seaton and Smith by the San Fran
cisco club. Indirectly it has. Men
like those who have been warned
off in this instance breed the rumors
and suspicious that, neither true or
untrue, compelled the action thu
Manager Graham was forced to take
San Francisco will be cleaned of
baseball gambling first. Every other
city in the Pacific club will be clean
before many weeks.
at is a crime that the one sport
which is particularly American, the
one sport that every American loves
and encourages should have to COM
bat such influences. But it means
either the survival of baseball or
gambling and decent men can make
but one choice
