IT HAPPENED that after receiv-

for his last bachelor friend, Clark
Darlington came upon a relic of his
college days in the form of an old
photograph frame.
1t had once been the fashion for
college boys to frame their various

He had reached the last face in
the frame-"my girl aIas-no

eyes. This, then, was the girl. Con-
stance Hoyt was, alas, his girl no
more, and yet he had never found
one to take her place.
He had not heard of her for years.
Probably she was married; posi-
bly, she was gone.

busy attending to last-minute duties

recalled such tender memories of a

little college at Henshaw. AS he
looked out of the windows of his
office in Clifford hall across at the
elm-shaded campus, he felt con-
WINGED that Henshaw would never
have much of an influence on his
life. 1t was a conservative old col
lege. He had accepted the position
because it left him plenty of leisure
for the research work he had in
hand.
That was before he met Joan Gift
ford-whose name Martin Dale re-
membered because it was that of
the founder of the out-of-date old
building in which he had his office
and lecture room. She was, he
learned, the great-granddaughter of
old Thomas Clifford, who had given
the building.
But Joan Clifford did not look the
least like old Thomas, the founder
1t was at afternoon tea at the house
of the president of the college that
Martin first met her. She ap-

The Original HarmOnica

The original harmonica consisted
of drinking glasses, played with
moistened fingers. About 1850 a
Mr.. Packeridge, an Irishman, was
noted as a player upon glasses,
whose pitch was regulated by the
amount of water contained in each
one. Benjamin Franklin greatly i'm
proved the harmonica by making
the glasses revolve about a spindle
and fixing the pitch by the size of
the glass. He also adopted a diff
ferent color for each note in the
scale, and moistened the rims by
passing them through water. A Miss
Davis, relative of Franklin, be-
came a celebrated harmonica play
er and performed at concerts with
great credit. The mouth organ,
which is commonly called the har-
monica, is a toy in which the sounds
are produced by the vibration of
metallic reeds, moved by the
breath. Reed instruments essential
ly similar have been in use in Chi
ma, Germany and Holland from very
early times. The inventor is un-
known.

"OMY the unusual succeeds in
business" was a maxim of
John Potter's. His firm, Bradford
& Starbuck. longed to do business
with the western firm of Gerald &
Robbins. But Gerald & Robbins
buyer, when she came to New
York, persistently patronized Wal
ford & Bremen.
One beautiful day, in that season
of the year when buyers most do
congregate in Manhattan, young
man of thirty, or Whereabouts, wear
ing the latest thing in riding toys
might have been seen ambling
along one of the Westchester roads.
Suddenly, from no apparent cause,
he slid from the saddle and, grasp
ing the bridle-reins and leaning on
the pommel with one hand, took
his right ankle in the other hand,
and looked anXiously down the road,
up which was approaching an ex-
pensive touring car driven by liv-
cried chauffeur.
Seated on the back seat of the
car was young lady of about the
same age as the dismounted eques-
TRAN. She had bright eyes, clear,
fresh complexion, glowing with in
telligence and animation. The car
came to a standstill and a sweet
voice said: Dear me, are you in
jured?"
"Only slight sprain," replied the
young man; "but I don't seem to be
able to get into the saddle again"
But 1 can't leave you here in
this condition; you ought to get to a
doctor right away" said the young
lady.
He introduced himself as Mr.. Reg
inald Fairfax. The young lady re-
sponded by giving her name-Miss
Claudia Chatteris. Arrived at the
doctors office the chauffeur assisted
the young man up the steps after
profuse thanks from the rescued to
the rescuer, and the auto rolled
away. The young lady bent over
and picked up a card case which
had, somehow, dropped from the

transportation. 'Hum!" said the

Martin Dale commented. "She
doesn't seem as if she quite be-

"Joan-why, Joan is an institu-

Henshaw without her than without

Funny she's never married"
That's what everyone says"
said the young professor. "But
can't dope out a girl like that. She's
crazy about men. She's known ev-

her. l can't dope her out perfectly,
but l was wise enough to realize
that she wasn't the marrying kind.

we all have-and then you're just a
good friend"
1t was at a second tea at the
presidents house that Martin Dale
realized fully that he had become a
victim past rescue of the charms of
Joan Clifford.
Suddenly as Martin looked at her
she turned, blushed ever so slightly
and cast him challenging look.
AS soon as she could tactfully
manage to do so Joan deserted the
other bachelor professor and made
her way to Martin Dale who was
standing in a rather melancholy
fashion in the enormous bay win
dow of the drawing-room.

were thinking" she insisted.
"Pd like to tell you. But not
now" said Martin Dale. 'I'd have
to know you great deal better than
l do"
Then let's get acquainted" sug-
gested Joan. 1--WE often wondered
why you never called on me-"
Martin Dale called on Joan Gift
ford, and yet he refused to satisfy
her curiosity. After the fifth call,
after having had dinner at the house
once or twice, and tea on Sunday
afternoon and a walk through the
woods with her, he consented.
81 was wondering" he said, with
lll-concealed embarrassment, "why
you had never married. Most peo-

cause you have made up your mind

believe that"
Il promised to tell you truly" she
said. well, Martin Dale: One rea-

wrists and prisoned them in his two
strong hands. Joan Clifford" he
said quite solemnly, will you be

Because of his devotion to the pa
