ingenious person had climbed into his
body and was running things with
high hand. But in a few moments he
began to warm up to his subject,
which was the outstanding things
mankind had accomplished, and
especially the fine fight their fellow
alumnus had made. People stopped
playing with forks and sugar cubes.
Mona began to look at Moss in
pleased bewilderment. Why! thie
was not the kind of speech she had
expected him to make. She felt she
was looking upon a different Moss;
afiner. broader Moss.
When he sat down a burst of
applause went up, and it kept on.
Mona was one of the first to con-
gratulate him when the affair was
over. "Your speech was splendid" she
said sincerely. II was surprised at it.
for I expected - well something biting
and cynical. 1t wasn't at all. It had
a mellowness that was delightful"
'Mellowness?" he repeated, aston
ished. for he had not thought of it in
this way at all. He had had something
to say and had said it simply.
Eyes, a mature mellowness. A fine
mellow warmth that took hold of the
people - and of me, too"
He felt a great mellow warmth
toward her, the kind he had known
before the slink had leaped into his
path. "Say, Mona! I've got some
thing want to say to you. Will you

Her eyes lighted. I'D love to.

That's greatr' said the mellow
young cynic.
His father watched him as he
chatted and laughed with Mona. He
shook his head in perplexity. Boys
certainly were queer.

been made to do him fitting honors.
There were to be speeches from
Moss's and Mona's class. Moss was
chosen to represent the boys, Mona
the girls. 1t would be the most i'm
portant speech Moss had ever made,
and he felt apprehensive about it.
Mona had been the best speaker in
the class, had always outshone him.
If it had been anyone except Mona,
he would not have been so disturbed.
He would not try, he decided, to be
as clever as Mona; he would say what
was within him, and say it to the best
of his ability.
He set to work on his speech; no
sitting with his chin in his hands idly
watching the people pass, no gazing
at himself in the mirror. No monstrous
faces. No odd-looking magazines, no
behavior patterns.
But Mona was preparing. too.
He was exceedingly nervous when
they sat down at the banquet tables
and the toastmaster rose and told
humorous stories which seemed to
sadden everybody. There sat his
father and mother, from time to time
gazing at him proudly. But they did
not know Mona's ability. and how he
must inevitably be compared to her.
Mona spoke with real feeling and
flashes of humor, and never had she
looked so pretty. When she sat down,
there was hearty applause. She had
made the best talk of the evening.
Moss rose to his feet trembling
violently and yet, by some kindness
from heaven, seeming to be calm. His
father beamed on him. How much
older Moss seemed. How miraculously
he had changed in a year.
Moss had the feeling that he him
self wasn't speaking, that some

recollection Of the quaint creature he
had been.
One day, as he came down the steps
from his fathers Office, he almost
bumped into Mona. He lifted his hat
politely but not with the flourish
Ray gave his chapeau. and he tried
to talk, but there wasn't much to say.
How was she? That's good. Where
was she going? Oh, is that so. Well,
well. She was pleasant and agreeable,
but far from cordial, and seemed to
wish to be on her way. Without
giving himself a chance to think, he
began to talk about the Highway
Dance, sort of preparing her for the
question. He watched her closely -
the flicker of her eyelid. her icy smile.
She was not going to accept. he saw
that. He became proud; he was glad
he had not Inundated himself.
He reverted to his cynicism. Life
was too short to 60 to white-pants
dances. "The bunch who 60 out there
amuse me, he asserted. "I'll probably
stay at home and read Haeckel.
There's man who laughed at life."
He was thoroughly in accord with the
brilliant Haeckel. What do the
people on this infinitesimal atom
floating around in space amount to?
Nothing! Absolutely nothingr' He
laughed shrilly. lifted his hat, and
walked cynically down the street.
Each season the high school, during
commencement week, had a reunion.
1t was an important affair. Former
students came for miles; some planned
their yearly visit so they could be
present. This year it was to be even
more important, for one of the boys
had become an aviator hero. The
town was proud of him: his class
prouder of him: and preparations had

that they 60 to movie together.
II really ought to finish this"
You need to rest your mind. You
can explain some of the things you've
been reading and thinking as we walk
along. Afterward. we could have
soda"
He began to avoid Mona; but occa-
sionally, to keep from being downright
rude. he had to talk to her. He did not
talk to her as easily and naturally as
he once had. but scoffed and poked
fun at the things she believed.
Mona did not understand it. Some
thing was wrong with Moss Fleming.
1t wasn't pleasant to be with him; he
seemed to think he was so superior.
OF course, Ray Bean wasn't perfec-
ton, but at least he didn't laugh at
almost every remark she made.
Moss knew he was doing this, and
knew it was foolish. Sometimes when
he saw the look on her face he felt
ashamed. but pride would not let
him say he was sorry. Now that he had
taken the attitude he had. he could
not stop.
1t was nice to have Edna's flattery
and to feel he knew more than she
did. but sometimes her chatter was -
well. boring. But she was pretty and
a good dancer. His name was be-
ginning to be linked with Edna's.
People asked them to parties; it was
taken as a matter of course. He had
assumed the pose of cynical young
man and could not very we'll turn
from it. Moss Fleming is so cynical"
people said. He enjoyed that; it dis.
tingllished him. He decided he would
be that way all his life As he passed
along the street with his white hair
and gold headed cane. people would
whisper: That's Moss Fleming. the
cynic." He was growing physically,

and mentally. Shaving was nothing at
all any more; he had almost forgotten
his voice had ever been a squeak.
Some of his discoveries about life
didn't seem so profound as they once
had. Life was perplexing. Sometimes
he wished he were older; then he would
understand it better
The Highway Dance was the years
chief social event among the younger
set, and was held at the Country Club.
AS the time approached, Moss be-
gan to want to 60; but he would have
to take Edna. He hadn't asked her
yet, but she would expect it. Being
Edna's escort wasn't the pleasure it
had once been; she was good listener,
but she laughed a bit too much. This
was refreshing when you first met her,
but after time fell rather fiat.
Even if he should pluck up his
courage and ask Mona. she would
turn him down. She had lost interest
in him; Ray was doing handsomely
by her - parties, rides, walks. tennis.
RAY and Mona" the words were
on everybody's lips. However, this
did not keep Moss from wishing he
could take her to the Highway
Dance. He thought of their riding
together in his fathers car to the
Country Club. what he would say to
her as they danced, as they drove
home, as he helped her out. How
sweet her smile was. How white her
teeth when she laughed.
He even began to think how to go
about it If he should decide to ask her.
Would he write her a letter? Would
he call her up? Sweet dreams. What
was that silly rhyme he had had year
ago about her name? Why! He'd al
most forgotten it. He smiled in amused
