he hesitated-"a little bigger one. q"
II suppose there are bigger col

slightest accent on the adjective.
The young man laughed.
That's the right spirit! Madison
needs no praise from me; it speaks
for itself. Is this the nearest way to
the station?"
It had been on Sylvia's tongue to
ask him the name Of his college, but
he had perhaps read this inquiry In
her eyes, and as though suddenly
reused by the remembrance Of the
secrecy that had been imposed upon
him. he moved on.
Yes, I understand" he called over
his shoulder. Thank you, very
much
He whistled softly to himself as he
continued on his way.
The manner Of the old professor in
receiving the letter and the calmness
with which he had given his reply
minimized the importance OF the
transaction in the mind OF the mess
enger. He was thinking Of Sylvia and
smiling still at her implication that
while there were larger colleges than
Madison there was none better.
As she neared home Sylvia met her
friend DR.. Wandless. the former presi-
dent, who always had his joke with
her.

me. Sylvia: 'Canst thou bind the
sweet influences of Pleiades. or loose
the bands OF Orion? Canst thou
bring forth Nazareth in his season?
or guide Arcturus with his sons?'

a smile on her lips. answered.
'Knowest thou the ordinances OF
heaven? Canst thou set the donin-
ion thereof in the earth?"
"Ah, If only I could, Sylvan said
the old minister. smiling gravely.
They came IN high spirits to the
parting Of their ways and Sylvia kept
on through the hedge to her grand
fathers cottage. The minister turned
once, q venerable figure with snowy
beard and hair. and beat the path
softly with his stick and glanced
back, as Sylvia's red ribbon bobbed
through the greenery.
Whose daughter art thou?'" he
murmured gently.
Then CHANGING furtively about he
increased his gait as though to es-
cape from his own thoughts; but the
question asked Of Rethueis daughter
by Abraham's servant came again to
his lips, and he shook his head as he
repeated:
Whose daughter art thou?'
