STATE TEACHER ENROLMENT
AT MOOREHEAD DEFIES THE
HANDICAP OFFERED BY FIRE

In spite of the handicaps brought
about by the fire which last spring
destroyed the main building, training
school, and heating plant, enrolment
at the Moorhead State Teachers Col
lege has broken all records with a
total of SAL registered for college work
and 23O listed in the training school.
This is an increase of 80 in the col
lege proper over last year, when 500
were enrolled.
Realizing the necessity for adequate
buildings to house this growing in
stitution, the Minnesota State Teach
ers College board has recommended
S765,OOO for replacement of the main
building, the training school, and the
heating plant. This budget, approx
mately the same as that voted by the
Legislature for the Winona and Man
kato colleges after losses by fire, is
now being prepared by the State Com
mission of Administration and FL
nance for the approval of the legisla-
ture.

Jim RETURNED 10 GOWu, euIeIeu d
poker game and lost one thousand
dollars of mis- stolen fortune. At three
o'clock in the morning word came to
him that Mathews was looking for
him, and h. knew he was in a cul-
de-sac, from which there was leading
not single avenue of escape. He
had, he thought, been a fool for not
escaping when he had a chance, the
night before.
There was q river lamplighter in
the poker party. He took Jim to one
side and told him about the old cave
near the Devils Backbone. Further
more, he explained that, should Jim
ever find himself in need of a friend,
he would be that party. Not only
would he row him out to the cave in
the Mississippi River, but he would
keep him we'll supplied with food
also. Then when Jim was ready to
make dash for freedom, he would
gladly row him back again, and see
thai he received decent break"
All these services deluxe, the river
man declared, would cost him only
one thousand dollars. "And safety
at even that price," he added
bluntly, was cheap"
Jim nodded his head. To be sure
it was. And he was aware that he was
going to be greatly in need Of the
caves shelter before thu sun rose
the following morning. So he made
the deal. With the riverman he fled
through an alley from the cardroom
of the saloon, and they reached the
river front without molestation How
ever, they passed two policemen
walking down the middle of the street
with rifles in their hands.
It'll be the dogs next" Jims COM
panion whispered.
Jim spent four years in that cave,
and the only face he saw was that
of the riverman who kept his word
good. Four long years without human
companionship-

been there long enough, he had the

kitchen door, He walked up to this,
and held the satchel behind him. At
this moment he met Opal Thorpe.
She came to the door Ind cheerfully
offered him chair. He told her
that he had just dropped in for a
glass of water,-a logical excuse, Ger
tainly, inasmuch as they owned the
best well at this house for forty miles
around. Opal forthwith brought
Jim glass filled with refreshing
cold we'll water He drained the
glass of its contents. Then they
talked. Almost immediately-they fell
in love. Neither one knew it then,
Of course, but in the dim and not
distant tomorrow, they both were to
learn of the sincerity and the gravity
o. that love. Two hours passed
swiftly. Jim blissfully forgot the tan
satchel he had hidden at the side
of the house. He had found new
interest in life.
I'm coming back to see you, Opal,
girl" he declared, as he made ready
II depart. They were standing in
a field knee deep in pretty clover
blossoms. The rich, warm air was
laden with a perfume of the night
a I 5rfume of unrestrained wild beau-
ty. I'm coming back to see you,
again. Don't forget, Opal"
II reckon vol amt lynn, are you,
Jim?" Opal murmured, nesting
closely in his embrace. We've only
known each other couple of hours
but I feel that I've known you all
my life. But maybe you don't feel
that way"
He told her that he did, and when
they parted it was with the under
standing that he was to see her
again, that they were to meet in that
field, near rustic footbridge, COW
cred with honeysuckles. There was
one thing that Jim did do, however,
that was strictly honest-he made
the appointment for an indefinite
time, and said that he would signal
her some night by calling like a
whippoorwill. He said that it might
be week, and it might be longer.
Anyhow, Opal said that she would be
waiting.
opal waited.
Jim forget the satchel until he
was ready to go. He had to return to
the house for it. This absentmind-
edness indicates that he was really in
love with his courteous hostess. His
sub-conscious mind dictated to him
during his few moments with her, and
there beat against the back of his
brain the stern realization that he
had already committed a crime ano
wouldn't be able to see Opal again
perhaps in many moons. 1t is, there
fore, his honesty and gentleness al
the way through with the girl whit
found his heart in such a brie
fashion, that redeems his otherwise
blameworthy life.

riverman take him back to the river
front, got out of the row boat, and
walked coolly through town. TO one
recognized him. He did not stop
until he had reached the house where
he had left Opal. He crawled through
the deep clover on his stomach, then
called into the night like whippoor-
will. While he waited there for her
to come to him, knowing that she
would, he heard night birds answer
ing his call; heard mating calls; low,
piping notes of hidden artists. There
was, he vowed, nothing like love.
IT have waited for you for four
years." Opal said with tears in her
eyes, land now that you are here,
I don't know what to say"
They said nothing for a few min
utes-just stood off and gazed at each
other in the grip of loves enchant-
ment.
Then she suddenly grew sober. She
told him that he mustn't tarry there
long. They were searching for him.
They had never ceased to look for
him. They would never stop as long
as he lived.
Goodbye" he told her an hour
later. And with final embrace, and
last warm kiss, he was away, steal
ing surreptNiously through the dark
ness, just as he had come to her.
They did not meet again for twelve
years. Jim drifted to California,
where he again got into serious trou-
BILE. Here he served prison term.
But just as soon as his time was up,
he returned to Cape Girardeau, Mis-
souri,, to see Opal.
He reached her side without moles-
tation. But he was not conscious of
being followed. He was not aware

either that his "shadower" was heav-
lily armed and determined to kill
him or to capture him. They do not
forget crimes in twelve years time.
They do not forget them at all.
Jim Anderson crouched against the
snow. 1t was in December. The
ground was white. Where once there
had been clover blossoms, there was
ermine now. A cold wind blew out
of the mouth of the Arctic North. It
stung like lash. However, Jim knew
that if Opal heard his call she would
come to him. So he once again imi.
tated a whippoorwill. The notes had
scarcely faded when ne saw the square
of yellow light which was the open
kitchen door. And when she Joined
him, he broke down and cried like
a baby-despite his strength, he was
as weakling in the presence of the
woman who was sacred to him.
you are the same to me as God"
he whispered, land I cannot live
without you"
They walked down to the rustic
bridge. Standing there, leaning
against the railing, they confessed
their sincere love for each other, and
Opal consented to go away with him.
He should have sent her to the house
earlier, however, because by doing
that, he would have saved her life.
The coward, crouching in the winter
night, had lost his nerve and was
afraid of Jim Anderson, so, without a
word of warning, he shot the lovers
Their bodies tumbled off the rustic
bridge on to the sheet of ice below.
That was the reward faithful wom-
an received for remaining true
and answering in her love.
