The Swedish histori- an, Johannes Magnus, writing in the sixteenth century, called the land Lap- pia, following Saxo Grammaticu twelfth century Danish chron Other writers called it by the Lutin- ized name Lapponia. In the seven- teenth century the region was known | in England as Lapland, in Sweden ‘as Lapmarkia, mark being Swedish for fend; in Denmark and Norway as Lap- | lendia or Findmarkia. | Several ingenious etymologies have | been suggested, both in ancient und modern times.

PERRY Syndicate.) With a quick jerk Horace Sangster | pulled his line from the water, and then cried out with disgust. The fish, if there had been one, had got away. Three hours without a cateh—it was nerves, and Horace was far from that. He drew in his line angrily and at- tempted to wind it up, but something had gone wrong with his reel. That was the last straw. He sat down on a rock and swore, The sound of the*word startled him. He had not swern for years. His nerves were certainly making a wreck of him. The solitude of the place was aggravating him, too. They had told him the simple camp life, with lots of fishing, would make a new man of him. Such bosh! Why, there was hardly a thing about it that did not make him feel worse, This was the seeond day, and he was going to make it his last. To be- gin with, he had had trouble pitching his tent. The storm in the night had kept hin up keeping out the rain. ‘Ev- ery crack of the bushes or sound of the birds in the trees caused him to start uneasily. It was nearly as nerve- racking as an afternoon session with the fourth-year class. The thought of the fourth-year girls irritated him the more. They had been the cause of his breakdown, he felt. confident. For months he had looked with dread on the hour each afternoon that he was forced to teach them mathematics. They were just silly, thoughtless girls, and would not have been so hard to put up with had it not been for their ringleader, Cynthia White. Without exaggeration Cynthia was the worst girl he had eyer had under his tuition. Her main object in life Seemed to be to torment the professor of mathematics, Something always turned up for her to argue about or laugh over. There was always some- thing for her to ridicule, and she nev- er missed an opportunity to make him feel mean—perhaps because she was so large and he was so small. As he sat there thinking it over, Hor- ace made up his mind he had been foolish. It would have been easy to have arranged for her dismissal from the college.’ Why hadn’t he done it? There was something he liked about Cynthia, in spite of everything. The spirit -of fun. behind those twinkling black eyes of hers appealed to him, and the warmth of her laugh made him long for something—something that was not in his life. Suddenly the laugh sounded close be- side him. He nearly toppled into the water from the shock it gave him. He turned quickly to confront Cynthia, a little way off, her eyes bulging over with merriment. After rubbing his eyes to make sure he was seeing | aright, Horace smiléd forth a greet- ing. Even the pest of his life was wel- come in that solitude. “Oh, Mr, Sangster, you’ look so fun- hy there,” she laughed. “If the girls could only see you in your bare feet!” . “Heavens!” Horace tried to hide his feet behind a log. He had forgot- ten that he had taken off his shoes and socks to wade a creek. “Don’t be alarmed,” she smiled en- | couragingly, “I am going to take off my shoes, too. One can’t fish well with shoes on. How do you like my cos- tume? She was clad in khaki from head to foot, and her hair was hanging in curls | over her shoulders. He had never re- | alized how beautiful she was before, “Jove! You look peachy,” he mur- mured, admiringly, not realizing that he had used the word “peachy” for the first tle since he had got his degree. | That encouraged ‘Cynthia to take a seat beside him, Not that she needed encouragement, for she would have sat there sooner or later. It did not take Horace long to forget that he was a college professor and she was a mere student. Soon they were chatting | guyly. Her home was near by and she had spent every summer fishing in that stream for years. She led him to a Place where he was “sure to catch something, no matter how poor an an- sler he was.” When his luck remain- ed poor and he still made vain attempts to land a trout, Cynthia did not fail to laugh at him and assure him that he Was as funny as he could be. Somehow it did not bether him to be laughed at out there. The air seem- ed to have got into his blood and given him a sense of hymor that responded to her witty ridicule. He was not long in catching onto the right Way to draw in the line, and before the afternoon was over he was catching as many trout as Cynthia, When they parted he had gained her promise to search him out the next day. Camping agreed with him after that, Fishing was the most wonderful sport in the world when one had a compan- ion iike Cynthia, he Geeided after two weeks of glorious days. Nerves? Why, he had forgotten he had such things! They would have still stayed out of his mind had it not been that a rainy ‘lay broke in on them. It made it necessary to stay in his tent and try and spend the day reading, wondering all the while what Cynthia was doing. Making fun of him, most likely—the thought came to him quickly and left him staggering. Perhaps she was. Perbaps she had spent all those days with ffm just to have something te tell the fourth-year girls when she went back to college. He would have to resign. It would be just like Gynthia to dc it—but would it? This new Cynthia Was not a bit like the old Cynthia whe had: made his life miserable. But as the rain kept up his mind became more unsettled, and before the night Was over he had made up his mind that Cynthia had been making a fool of him. The next day he still thought it. When Cynthia appeared he hardiy. spoke. She saw at once her presence Was not welcome. With a toss of her head she started up the bank and ford- ed the stream some way up. After fishing alone for some time Horace realized that he had been a cad. Cyn- thia was too fine a girl to be insulted like that. He would find her and make amends. He started in the direction she had taken and attempted to ford the stream where he imagined she had crossed. The spot he chose appeared quite shallow from the bank, but as he reached the center, he stepped into a deep hole and sank out of sight. Cynthia looked up just in time and with a ery jumped into the water and made fer the spot. When he came up for the first time she was there to clutch him and a couple of strokes took them to safety, His body remained limp in her grasp, and as she dragged him over to the bank and placed him on. the grass, the pallor of his cheeks alarmed her. He lay quite still. She placed her ears to his breast and then cried out with fright, “He’s dead!” Madly she tried to shake him back to life, and then she seemed to lose her senses, “Come back, Horace !” she cried. “Oh. Horace, don't dle. There is so much I want to ask forgiveness for. I was Just beginning to know you and like you, Horace—like you so much, Hor- ace, Please open your eyes. I have been such a wretch ’to tease you. Oh, dearest Horace, open your eyes!” And Horace did. He could not sham any longer after being called “dearest Horace.” Cynthia’s hysteria vanished when she discovered he was alive. She was very angry at first when he confessed he had not been hurt at all and was conscious all the time, but her sense of humor came to the rescue and she Joined in his laugh. “Please call \me dearest Horace again,” he said as he reached out for her hand. But Cynthia would not un- ti! he had told her how much he loved her and how miserable he would be without her, “Dear old pest,” he said just before the kiss that sealed their engagement. JULIA WARD HOWE’S SALON As Hostess it Was Said of Her With Truth That She Delighted in Contrasts, When I think of it I believe that I had a salon-once upon a time. I did not call it so, nor even think of it as such; yet within it were gathered people who represented many and va- rious aspects of life. They were gen- uine people, not lay figures distin- guished by names and clothes, The earnest humanitarian interests of my husband brought to our home a num- ber of persons interested in reform, education and progress, It was my part to mix in with this graver ele- |ment as much of social grace and geniality as I was able to gather about me. I was never afraid to bring together persons who rarely met else- where than at my house, confronting Theodore Parker with some *arch- priest of the old orthodoxy, or Wil- liam Lloyd Garrison with a decade, perhaps, of Beacon street dames. A friend said, on one of these occasions: | “Our bostess delights in contrasts.” I confess that I did; but I think that my greatest pleasure was in the les- sons of human compatibility which I learned In this wise. I started, indeed. with the conviction that thought and character are the foremost values in | Society, and was not afraid or asham- ed to offer these to my guests, with or without the stamp of fashion and po- sition—Julia Ward Howe. Not Slaves to Precedent. Were one to analyze the careers of 200 or 300 of our leading men of finance and industry it would probably develop that not half of them contin- ued in the line of business in which they started, but struck boldly out in the direction where they saw the big- gest opportunities and where their inclination lay. One of the earliest and most notable instances of this was Commodore Van- derbilt, who was so old before he turned to railroading that his family find his advisers importuned him to let well enough alone and not to en- ter an entirely new field at his time of life. This readiness of brainy giants to take up new things and to throw their whole selves into them is really one of the principal reasons why the United. States has led the world in so Many lines of endeavor. Wealthy Europeans, as a rule, avoid the new, avoid untried paths; they are inclined to worship precedent. In the Cradle of the Deep. A few men were put into the bar- racks of an older company at Great Lakes. One of these boys snored so loudly that the next day the boys planned to get even. That night when his snoring commenced one boy got at each end of the hammock and he- gan to raise and lower it. The boy waking up much dazed, screamed “Qh, ma, I wish I'd taken your advic and gone into the army. I didu't kn: Td get 20 seasick” SS at Milas aii i Ferdinand State Bank FERDINAND, !DAHO A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS DONE Our facilities for serving you are the best, and we aim to satisfy every customer.
