SUMMER SCHOOL AT (. U. POPULAR
ILargest Enrolment in History, 1900, Register
 to Date

washington, D. C.-"The largest summer school in the history of the university" is the statement is- sued by pr Roy J. Deferrari, di" rector of the summer session of the Catholic University of America at Washington, D. C., on the com pletion of enrolment, Thursday, July 5, when 1900 students had registered.
 The twenty-fourth annual sum- mer session opened on Monday, July 2, but enrollments were not closed until Thursday, July 5, when students from 38 states, the Dis- trict of Columbia, Canada, Cuba and the Dutch West Indies had registered for the courses offered by the university.
 Thirty-one departments of in- struction staffed by 116 professors, q number of whom were drawn from colleges and universities in various parts of the United States, as we'll as members of the public school systems of Baltimore, tho District of Columbia, the several United States governmental de- partments and the library of con- gress staff, will give more than 800 courses given by the summer session.
 The present registration marks an increase over that for 1893 by approximately 200 students and continues the record established by the Catholic University among other institutions of higher learn ing for increased enrollments both in the summer session and in the Graduate School of Arts and Sci ences for increased registrations where others have been forced to report declining figures.

THE DEMOC CRAFTS
 Daily Short Story

i wheels, it's smooth sides offering
 no foothold. But something urged Betty up, and up she went. How
 she ever accomplished the feat, no
 one knew, but, perched on top of
 the tank, she had no thoughts then for the wonder of her achieve
 ment.
 The thwarted steer, defrauded,
 stamped angrily beneath her, his hoofs tearing at the ground, his
 horns tossing, and believing forth
 his disappointment he told the
 world just what he thought of her performance.
 This brief respite from strain | upon the rope gave Don just the
 opportunity he needed. Yelling to | the three runners, he tossed them the rope he held, snatching lasso from a gaping Mexican, he let it fall prettily over the steers horns. | A quick jerk of the animals head caused. him to turn his attention | to Don again and the race was re- sumed.
 By now the steers in the corral
 had become thoroughly excited and were milling about in a frenzy that made it impossible that any
 man could go among them and es- | cape death.
 As Don shouted to the, gateman
 Betty felt the blood drain from her
 face and she became deathly i'll.
 From her perch on top of the tank
 she saw Don disappear among the steers in the corral. The aN gate changed shut behind him. Some thing also shut off the light before
 Betty's eyes and she felt herself
 falling a very long way, but did
 not care.
 The next thing Betty knew, Don't arms were about her. She opened her eyes to see him grin ming down at her. How about it?" he chuckled. Did you get your excitement? I'll have to hand
 it to you, though, Little Goat. You sure can climb tank, if you can't climb a mountain, but you do pick the damnedest ways to come down."
 THE END.

to make trouble between her father and MT Green, she was forced to shield Bert by pretending she tried to climb the mountain simply to satisfy her unsuitable desire to do the thing no one else had been able to accomplish, the fact that Don now insisted on calling her his Little Goat" did not improve mat ters.
 He looked at her teasingly now, You don't really hope one butts me, do you, Little Goat? But you better wear something over that red hair of yours or they. may butt see that"
 "All right, young man. Just for that, I'll wear my red scarf"
 You crazy kid. That really might be dangerous if you should happen to come within a steers range of vision"
 "Well, you promised me some excitement, didn't you?"
 Have it your own way, then, you always do. I guess they can't hurt you while you're inside the donkey corral, and those Greasers could hold them back even if they were to start for you. Just the same, I never knew any one delib- erately to court trouble as you do"
 Sometimes the steers ware so tame that they offered no enter tainment to the onlookers. It was always more or less spectacular, though, for the Mexicans took de- light in making it as sensational as possible. Even tame steers be- ing in midair from the long arm of the crane that lifted them from the lighter to the beach.
 Betty, her red scarf wound about her head, trotted along behind Don, trying to match her short step to his long stride.
 Docs it really promise to be exciting today?"
 "Yes, think we'll have some real fun. They say there's one particularly mean one aboard"
 They were coming in sight of the pier now and Betty pointed to where a group of Mexicans were shouting and gesticulating wildly.

Sometimes steamer that came twice a month to this Pacific is- land, where Betty's father was de- veloping a gold mine, stopped at Ensenade, Mexico, and loaded live steers on board to be kept in a | corral on the island, and killed for beef as they were needed. f'I don't believe I care to leave

 Don, at the picture the steamer makes in that strip of sunlight | gleaming on the water, with that

 "Yes, but look at the lighter

 mortified shout of warning, Mex. ' jeans running from all directions | with lassos whirling in the air, and
 Don, the smle on his face set into a defiant grin, ran with all the strength of his body toward the waiting gateman.
 BETTY RAN
 TOWARDS DON.
 Thinking of nothing but Don's danger, Betty left the protection of the corral and ran toward him Seeing her, Don screamed for hel to go back, but in just that second of taking his eyes from his course
 his foot struck a stone and he plunged heavily forward to the ground. There seemed no way tc save his being thrown into the air upon the advancing horns. Betty wanted to close her eyes, but could not. She stood watching in |, horror, while a moan went ur rom the throats of the onlookers The steer unable to check his mad rush, was forced to plunge on past Don's prostrate form, as quicker than the eye could sec. Don rolled himself to one side of the steers course. Before the steer could turn and charge again, Don was on his feet but, in wheel ing, the brute had caught sight of Betty's red scarf. With a second wild below he lowered his head and plunged for her.
 After one paralyzed second of looking at those blood-shot eyes and distended nostrils, Betty turned and ran as she had never run before. It seemed miles to the shelter of the donkey corral, and the pounding hoofs were gain ing upon her. It was like night mares she had experienced when she seemed running against a strong wind that blew her breath back into aching lungs and she made no headway. There was a terrific drumming in her ears that blended with the bounding. hoof- beats gaining upon her.
 Suddenly, something loomed ahead of Betty that looked like q great wooden mountain. It was a huge water tank. mounted on

| steers already in the corral could realize what was happening, he was over the opposite fence and dashing around excitedly on the outside. Betty was teetering on the top rung of the donkey corral and shouting as gaily as any of the cheering men as the first steer was safely corraled. "Well, that rum ner certainly won the berries! Wasn't he great, Don't? Gee, that was marvelous!"
 "He happens to be one of the worst Greezers on the Island. It wouldn't be much loss if the steer had hooked him."
 "Just the same, think he was mighty brave to run in among all those steers" |
 PHOOF! THAT
 WAS NO STUNT.
 "Phoof! That's no stunt. Be- sides, these Mexicans love it. They could make the job much simpler, but they wouldn't miss all this thrill for the world" Well, don't see why you try to belittle a man who is plainly risking his life so that we can have meat to eat
 But, Betty, don't be such a child, darling. I tell you there's nothing to it."
 That's easy for you to say, but bet that runner doesn't feel that way"
 Don looked at her for minute without answering. The hand which held bis cigarette trembled but he turned away and walked off toward the beach, leaving her Ro- man candle temper to die down as quickly as it had f1ared. She was sorry she had spoken so, but she wished Don was not always so cocksure of himself. It did things to her, made her say and do things that she was sorry for afterwards.
 Two more steers were run in, but still Don did not return. There was only one more steer to come, the fiercest and ugliest one. By now the steers in the corral were moving restlessly, believing their protest against all these strange visitors.
 A cheer went up from the beach. Betty strained every nerve in an effort to see. Then she gripped the rail, on which she sat, until her knuckles turned white. Out of the group of men around the last crate, Don sprang forward, rope in

LAUGHING AT DEATH

Look, Don, what are they do- ing?"
 Trying tho ropes on the first steers horns. Let's hustle to the corral before they open the front of the crate"
 Hand in hand they ran the rest of the way and Betty climbed on the fence of the corral to see what was taking pIace. The steer charged out of the crate and made for one of the Mexican runners who, with rope in hand and red | flag waving, fled like a maniac for the steer corral.
 | It was mad race and a some- what dangefous one, for there was always the chance that the steer would suddenly change his course and turn on the three run ners who were holding back on the second rope, or make a dash for a spectator. Stationed at the gate of the corral, a man stood waiting to open it as soon as the lead runner arrived, allowing him to dash into the corral, followed by the steer.
 The gate, changing to behind them, closed the nervy runner in among tossing horns and mulling bodies. Then before any of the
