Helen blushed. Why. she knew not.
She had been staring. perhaps rudely,

Almost unconsciously she looked

her over for Thanksgiving dinner,
after which they had gone on a straw
ride and had supper at II distant inn.
1t was jolly crowd. Then there were
two dances and Marion had made a
decided hit each night. Still she did
not feel that she was one of them.
There WIS always slight GOODNESS

freeze suddenly right in the middle of

nice, but queer--so queer. No doubt
about that.
And now spring had come again
and soon Marion would be going back
home and for some peculiar reason
she was not sure that she was glad.
She had made success of her teach
ing and Professor Thompson had been
unstintcd in his praise of her work.
The parent-tenchers decided to give

selves and 20 commemorate most

her best evening dress and looked her
stunningest as she sat beside Profess
sor Thompson AT the long table.

speech.

II tried various ways but without
success, until I put poles around the
patch and ran just an ordinary piece
of cotton around them about eight
feet from the ground, and between the
poles tied pieces Of cotton to flap IN
