K |1 € _——————————————— Doctor Syntax was not more Ih;mf forty, though he seemed bowed be- | neath the weight of his recondite in-!t vestigations. He was seated at his library table, looking out across tho | quiet village street toward the campus. | t Inside the halls of those magnificent | Gothic bufldings which he could just|: see from his library he had taught for | ¢ 15 years. | When Aloysius Benton, his friend | and colleague, died, ten years before, leaving his twelve-year-old daughter | to Doctor Syntax, it was the most nat- ural thing in the world that the kindly old doctor should take the child into his household. After old Janet died, Milly quite naturally became the doc- tor's housekeeper. And now certaln persons had whis- pered that it was not proper for an unmarried man, even a professor, to live alone in the house with the girl. With Milly! Why, she ruled him with an iron hand, cased in velvet| well! Go on,” she said though it was!

Nevertheless, life without Milly seemed an impossible, hopeless thing. Doctor Syntax had been in love| capacity ef— F the possibility of becoming when he was a young man. The ob- Ject of his devotion had married an-' say equals—" other; but, though he had long ceased | to think of her, the memory of that first love had clung around him like a radiant cloud, softening his spirit and fitting it for high idealism. the thought of M'lly had, of late, unac- countably revived that memory. The professor did not at first understand why. But when the ultimatum went forth ‘“really you women are very illogical. that soclety considered Milly ought to be relegated to another sphere, the profeesor had a ridiculous dream. It was absurd, to hope that Milly, the belle of the little town and he an old fogy of forty! But he con- tinued to dream it. Even a professor of mathematics has the right to dream., At any rate, he must tell Milly, And he did so, when he met her in the “Can't You Solve It by Algebra? library after dinner, which the profes- | sor always took alone, because he qu]! to read and eat at the same time. This | was the only point on which he had | never ventured to defy Milly. “My dear,” he sald, “I have an un- pleasant thing to eay to you. It is a problem—" “Can’t you solve it by algebra?" in-! quired Milly, looking at him with a twinkle in her eyes. “You know, you always say everything can be solved ! by algebra.” “And so it can, my dear,” said Doc- tor Syntax. That was one of his pet theories. “You remember how you found your | spectacles,” pursued Milly mischiev-! ously. | The discovery of Doctor Syntax's . lost spectacles had really | been a triumph of detective-algebraical amsll-“ cation. X was supposed to be the| place where they had been placed, \'; the spectacles, Z the unknown coefll- clents, N the known ones. From an' examination of an equation compound- | ed of the various symbols, the spec- tacles were ultimately discovered on the professor’'s nose. “But this is serious, Milly,” said Dr, Syntax. “Some people in this town have apparently been putting thelr heads together and have come to the conclusion that it is not right for a single girl, even an adopted daughter, to keep house for an old bachelor like me. It is a preposterous idea, but the force of public opinion is like the sym- bol X, always handed when it is not wanted and never translatable into | precise terms until the final solution.” | “Well, I have come to the same con- | clusion myself,” said Milly calmly. | “What!" exclaimed Dr. Syntax. He had expected a scene, strife, war—and here was Milly calmly acqulescing in his decision. “But what are you go- ing to do, my dear?” he continued. “I | can’t bear the thought of losing you.” : “You needn't lose me,” said Milly, with preternatural gravity, studying | her plate. But even then there was a| | mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “This le very strange, my dear,” said !
