Oh, oh, Elida!" Pretty Elida blushed like a peony at the implication conveyed in these last roguish words. She wondered what in the world this unexpected call In an uncouth fashion Dale stood in the middle of the graveled foot path fully 50 feet away.

Father and mother are both away and would be worried.” Walter Dale's face softened as he looked eyes of the beautiful girl. Then steeled himself to an unwelcome but “Why Does He Not Come Himself.” settled mission and his eyes expressed firmness. “Miss Durham,” he said gravely, “your brother did not come himself because he is in my room up at the college manacled to a bedpost.” Elida drew back in dismay—incredu. lous, startled, shocked. “I have not yet learned to lie like a gentleman—home farm training that, I suppose,” observed Dale, a slight trace of satire in his tone. “Most of the fellows would say that Norman was kept away from home last night by extra study, important club meeting and all that. It would be an untruth. He has got in with a fast crowd, I am sorry to say. They led him at one of their riotous ca- rousal suppers until I carried him to my room this morning. If he got away from me he would get back with tha fellows, ready to prolong their merry bout, as they call it. I have spent all the morning nursing Norman into a reasonable condition. I got out the clubroom manacles we use in our initiation and no one can set him free until I get back.” Elida was pale and distressed.

Something more as well. “The Boob” had gained a certain in- fluence over him with his rough but honest ways, and Elida's brother saw the folly of wasted hours and the fast set ceased to allure him Elida of course never let Norman know what Dale had revealed to her. alony with 3ood laundry work.

And then a sensational event trans- pired. The little college town was located on a lake with a very lovely island in its center. One afternoon Flida and one-half a score of her inti- mate friends took a boat and went over to Lone island. A group of the college men were to join them at dusk for a moonlight row. This happened: a violent storm. It came up suddenly, the boat the girls had used was driven adrift and dark came on with the frightened girls marooned. The storm kept up. The college men went down to a spot opposite the is- land. but an old boatman warned them to wait till the storm was over; that residences built by this tirm are evidgnces of mexra, make good, Phone 228 Blue | no craft could live in that wild| | tempest One hour—two hours went by.| | Those id sisters over on who had ti ! and frightened, -r the situation.

And Elida, who had known his ster- ling worth all along, was glad and proud of his escort to her home. The papers made quite a feature of his brave, lonely swim to bring suec- cor and courage to the fair marooners. A vyear later they chronicled the bril- liant wedding of Elida and “The Boob,” who had shown that he pos- sessed at soul the merits that make true and great men. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Energy of James. Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri smiled the other night when reference was made to hustling, ener- getic people. He said it recalled a story that was told about an esteemed citizen named James Two fr of the aforesaid James were having a chat one afternoon, when the latter was incidentally men- tioned. i “By the way," smilingly remarked | one of the pair. “I think that James is the most tired man in ten counties. He ' has actually got some sort of a con- .| trivance whereby he can pull a string and light the fires in the morning without getting out of bed.” “Fine work!" commented the sec- ond. “But I fail to see how he is benefited by his ingenious device.” “I don't get you, old " was the | wondering rejoinder of the first. “Well, from what I know of James,” returned the second, “he is too con- Dried Pears: Make some balls of cream cheese, mix with a little cream and salt Dried Dates. - into this put any rich red jelly, a miniature well on top of each; Dried Prunes: - salt and make Bar jam; a depression like : la Duc or a little \ put French the lettuce currant dressing on Dried Apples. - in zencrous quanti- | Dried Apricots - ties and on top arrange the little cream balls.
