CHAPTER XIV.

Fred Mitchell, crossing the campus
one morning, ten days later, saw Dora

less he altered his course and as he
drew nearer her and the details OF her
face grew into distinctness, he was In
dignant with himself for feeling less
and less indignation toward her in pro-
portion to the closeness Of his APP
proach. The pity that came over him
was mingled with an unruly admira-
ton, causing him to wonder what I'M
patriotic stuff she could be made Of.
She was marked, but not whipped; she
still held herself straight under all the
hammering and cutting which, to his
knowledge, she had been getting.
She stopped him, 'for only a mo-
ment," she said, adding with wan
proudness: "That is, If you're not one

course but when they saw he'd made
up his mind, they quit opposing him,
and think they're proud OF him about
1t, maybe, In spite of feeling anxious.
You see, his father was an artillery
man In the war with Spain, and his
grandfather was colonel at the end
OF the Civil war, though he went into
it as private. like Ramsey. He died
when Ramsey was about twelve; but

said. There's nothing about his go

She repeated her despairing gesture.
"You don't understand But it's no
use. 1t doesn't help any to try to talk
of it, though thought maybe it would,
somehow" She went a little nearer

calling back over her shoulder In a
choked voice. THANK you. Good-byl"
But Fred's heart had melted gazing
after her he saw that her proud young
head had lowered now, snd that her
shoulders were moving canvulsively !;
he ran after her and caught her as she
began slowly to ascend the dormitOIy
steps.
''See here" he cried. 'Don't--"
She lifted a wet face. "No, no. He

Of the faculty were in a measure re-
sponsible to their fathers and mothers
for them.
You must keep your heads" he
said. "God knows, / do not seek to
judge your duty in this gravest mo-
ment of your lives. nor assume to tell
you what you must or must not do.
But by hurrying into service now, with
out careful thought or consideration,
you may impair the extent Of your
possible usefulness to the very cause
you are so anxious to serve. Hundreds
Of you are taking technical courses
which should be completed-at least
to the end OF the term in June. In
structors from the United States army
are already on the way here, and milf
tary training will be begun at once
for all who are physically eligible and
of acceptable age. A special course
win be given In preparation for flying,
and those who wish TO become aviators
may enroll themselves for the course
at once.
IL speak to you In a crisis Of the
university's life, as well as that of the
nation, and the warning / utter has
been made necessary by what took
place yesterday and today. Yesterday
morning, a student in the junior class
enlisted as a private In the United
States regular army. Ear be 1t from
me to deplore his course in so doing;
he spoke to me about II, and In such
way that felt ! had no right to dis
suade him. told him that 1t would
re preferable for college men to wait
until they could go as officers, and,
aside from the fact Of q greater pres
tige, ] urged that men Of education
could perhaps be more useful in that
capacity. He replied that II he were
useful enough as a private commits
sion might in time come his way, and,
as say, did not feel at liberty to at
tempt discussion. He left to ioin
regiment TO which he had been as
signed, and many Of you were at the
station to bid him farewell
"But enthusiasm may be too con-
tagious; ever . great and inspiring
motive may work for harm, and the
university must not become a desert.
In the twenty-four hours since that
young man went to Join the army last
night, one hundred and eleven Of our
young men students have left our
walls; eighty-four Of them went of to-
gether at three o'clock to catch an
east-bound train at the junction and
enlist for the navy at Newport. We
are, say, in danger of stampede"
He spoke on, but Dora was not lis
tening; she had become obsessed By
an idea which seemed to be carrying
her to the border of tragedy. When
the crowd poured forth from the build
ing she went with 1t mechanically,
and paused In the dark outside She
spoke to a girl whom she did act

"Yes?"
II wanted to ask: 10 you know
who was the student Doctor Crows
spoke of? / mean the one that was
ire first to enlist, and that they were

to be a private in the United States
army. Did you happen to hear his

Harding Won't interfere.

The President has turned deaf
ear to all such pleadings. He has re-
peatedly pointed TO the promise Of the
Republican platform Of 1920, the
promise he made in his speech Of &C.
ceptance and the argument he PUT
forth during his campaign, that the
legislative branch of the government
must be restored to its rightfui place
in the scheme Of government. AT the
end of 470 days, President Harding
seems as determined as he was on the
day he Issued the call for this con-
gress to come together in April, 1921,
to refrain from debating to the legis-
latiye branch of the government.
There has been no break between
the Republican President and the Re

Pope INSPIRES THEM
WORDS USED BY POPE xI AMI.
MATE THOSE WHO SCALED
MOUNT EVEREST.

(By N. c. w. C. News Service.)
Words written by Father Ratti-
now Pope Plus XI-more than thirty
years ago were the inspiration of TIE
Englishmen who climbed to a point
within LOO feet of the summit of Mt.
Everest, according to Sir Francis
Younghusband, late president of the
Royal Geographic Society.
Mountaineering proper is not neces.
sarily rashness, but entirely question
of prudence, courage, strength, and
steadiness and of feeling for nature
and her most hidden beauties, which
are often awe-inspiring, and for that
reason more sublime and to the con.
templative spirit more suggestive
wrote Father Ratti in the "Alpinist
Bulletin"
Those words were written thirty.
three years ago by an Italian Alpine
climber, Father Ratti," said Sir Fran.
els. "That mountaineer is now be
come Pope Plus XII, and his words ex
actly express the sentiment which
animated all those connected with the
Everest expedition, whether in its
initiation or execution, and which will
continue to animate them until the
final goal is reached"
Sir Francis made these statements
in his valedictory as president of the
Royal Geographic Society. \
