The end of the season was a door Slammed in Neale’s face forever. He had given four yars of his life to foot hall, llung them joyfully and proudly to feed the sacred flame. Now for the rest of his life, he was to he shut out from the temple of the only religion which had as yet been offered him. For the rest of his life—he was no post mortem Atkins to hang enviously and piteously about watch ing other men doing the real things. Neale did not And this realization tragic, hecause it seemed to him that ii was the common lot, and he had a poor opinion of those who cry out melodramatically against the com mon lot. The thing to do was to accept the common lot without un dignified comment. So he did not give a Latin groan, nor cry out a Russian curse on Destiny, when he awoke to the knowledge that the aim of his life had been taken away, that he had lived the last of his Homer. He set his jaw and began to try to adjust himself to the life without any goal which he was henceforth to share with the rest of the under graduates. One element in his life that he never mentioned to the gang was the amount of time he was spending with Miss Wentworth. He had called on her one evening shortly after the Palisading trip, alleging as an excuse that he owed her a dinner call for the picnic lunch she had provided. He had called several times since then, with no excuse at all. He had been one of her box party at "Candida” and somewhat over paid his debt by taking her to “Out of the Wilder ness,” and Barnum & Bailey's cir cus. He had dined several times at the Wentworth apartment, discussed the republican party with her widowed, impressive father, and had learned to leave him in peace with his Evening Post after dinner. Miss Wentworth kept up on her college athletics, and Neale took her to the basketball games, the dual gym meet with Yale, the hockey games, the in door track meet at the 69th regiment armory. She had a great passion for walking, so they walked in the aft ernoons along Riverside Drive, in Central park, along the driveway by Fort Washington Point. By the time the Ice had broken up in the spring, Neale had discovered two things: first that Miss Wentworth was not like any other girl he knew, she didn't flirt, wasn't piqued if he was silent, he felt no Impulse to bluff or play-act before her, she was more like another fellow than a girl—only a very much more attractive fellow than he had ever met. The sec ondary discovery, which alarmed as well as thrilled him, was that if three days passed without his seeing her, lie found himself missing her very much Indeed. Meanwhile the mid years were long past, spring almost at hand, the longues of the gang, after all the win ter's practice, wagged more freely than ever. The first Friday In April. Elliott came In, pulling from the deep pocket of his raincoat a bag of limes and a bottle of gin, and announcing something better than beer for that —i-Evening. “It's up to you, kid,” Neale ordered Robertson, the Soph, whom they tol erated because his self-imporant airs amused them, “you're the youngest. Beat it to the drug store and bring back ae many siphons as you can carry." After the rickeys were mixed, the cheese cut, the cracker-tin set out, the tongues began to clack, and the resounding generalities to unroll themselves before the fresh gaze of those young eyes, dazzled by the bril liance of their explorations into the nature of things. Elliott was saying wisely, "Laws? Everybody knows that laws are a copspiracy among mediocrities to keep the strong from taking too much property." He let this soak in and went on, "And moral systems are similar conspiracies to prevent monopolies of less tangible things." Elliott delighted in poly syllables. which he did not as yet al ways handle with entire accuracy. Gregg, who did not like either poly syllables or Elliott, commented on this, "What book did you get that out of? And what’s the n^oral?" "The moral is, that morals are n sham. Man obeys the law only be cause he is afraid of the herdmajor lty. But a free spirit doesn't mind the criticism of mediocrities, he glories In it.” "So he feels all right, does he?" asked Gregg, "when he clears out to Canada with the contents of the Bute, or his best friend's wife. As a mat ter of fact, he feels like a dirty dog." "Oh, but that la just force of habit, race-superstition, cowardice before convention.” "Shucks! You fellows are on the ► . wrong track,” broke in Brown, "all really cares about is his three meals a day. That's what makes the world go round! When the cave man’s wife was stolen, he went on the warpath for the same reason a cowboy lynches a horse thief, be cause he can't afford to lose valuable property. Now the modern woman Is no longer an asset, hut a liability. . . . ” He paused, so filled with admiration for his own metaphor struck out In themeat of discussion, that he could not go on. Great Caesar's ghost! That wasn't so bad! He'd have to remember that In the next theme he wrote. Gregg was disposing of him sar donically, “Oh. yes, we know Brown's soaking up the economic Interpreta tion of history like a sponge. Have a mind of your own, Brown You don't have to believe all your professor tells you. Whst do you think, Crlt?” Neale sailed cautiously a little nearer his real thought than he usual ly ventured, with the casual com ment. "Well, there do seem to he some things n man can't bring himself to ADmnanm. STOP ITCHING ECZEMA Penetrating, Antiseptic Zemo Will Help You.

I wonder if maybe it isn’t Just in herited race experience warning us off from what’s bad for man in the long run." Brown came back for revenge, "Oh, yes, we know the rest, what’s that but the anthropology course? Have a mind of your own!” “As a matter of fact, pleasure's the only motive," Elliott laid down the final dictum. "Every time you do something you do it because you'd rather. If you didn't, you'd do some thing else." Someone brought out smother pro fundity deep enough to match this, affirming, "Oh, of course, every thing’s relative!” And this was still so new an aphor ism to them that they let it alone, the party breaking up over a last round of weak rickeys squeezed from the bottle. Neale waited till he saw Gregg deep in “Venice Preserved;” then he opened a small volume, and shielding it from any random glances of his roommate, began reading, "The Last Ride Together.” CHAPTER XXX. The two had passed a long evening together. Miss Wentworths father was attending the annual banquet of the American Philological association and the young people, left to them selves, had dined downtown at the Lafayette. It was their first meal alone together, all the more intimate ly alone because of the shifting crowd of strangers about them. How nat ural it had seemed to look across the table and see Miss Wentworth there! As natural as though he could look forward to an endless succession of days together; yet so tinged with ro mance that even the banalities of their small talk had vibrated with emo tional significance. AVhen dessert and coffee and Neale's cigar could be dragged out no longer, they had strolled side by side up deserted lower Fifth avenue. Now they were standing silent, watching the periodical rise and fall of the gushing fountain in Madison square. At first the pool lay quiet; then the surface was troubled; then swelling, mounting, the jet of water burst through and shot upward, to sink again, leaving only waning rip ples behind it. It made the young man think of a great many things, which were none the less moving and poignant to him because they have moved every thoughtful human being since the beginning of time. As he looked gravely down on the pulsa tions of the gleaming water, it sym bolized to him the rhythm of the uni verse; the recurrent rhythm of the generations—human life with its one little spurt of youth and glory sink ing so soon, so fatally soon to the sterile, routine movements of age. But when he spoke, his voice was as casually offhand as ever. "There's a fountain in Rome,” he said, "where, if you throw a coin in, you’re sure to come back to it. I wonder if it would work with this one!” "I didn't know you'd ever been in Rome." "I haven't. I got that out of Craw ford's 'Ave Roma.’ ” "What makes you so anxious to come back to Madison square?" "I’m not. I'd rather find a foun tain that would send me round the world. But there Isn’t much chance of that, and I thought if you'd threw one in, too—both at the same time, you know—It might fix things so we'd come back together.” • She gave him a steady, thoughtful look, took a penny out of her purse. "All ready, go!” The two coins splashed into the pool. “I hope there will be as lovely a moon then as there is tonight," she said. “I wonder,” thought Neale, ’‘Just how much she meant by that." When Neale got back to his room the gang was not there In full force, only Robertson, the knowing little soph, and Gregg, drinking beer and smoking their pipes. Neale kept back a grimace of distaste at seeing Rob ertson, his broad boy's face set in Its usual expression of solemn, self-con scious wiseness in the ways of the world. The rest of the gang found Robertson comic and enjoyed having him around to laugh at, ns many peo ple enjoy a visit to the monkey house in a zoo, and see nothing but the comic in the humanness of simian antics. But he disquieted Neale to his very soul, as another set of peo ple are disquieted and troubled by a visit to the monkey house and see nothing to laugh at in simian antics. One evening of little Robertson and his loud proclaimed disillusion with the world and the human race moved the rest of the gang to delightful howls of laughter for days after wards; but though Neale laughed with the rest (nobody could help laughing at Robertson, he was such an owl!), it rather took the shine off Schopenhauer and pessimism, and that whs a real privation for a senior. As he came In, Gregg was quoting; “But sweet as the rind was, the , core Is; We are fain of thee still, we are fain, O sanguine and subtle Dolores, Our Lady of Bain." Neale lifted a stein from Its hook, poured it full from the pitcher and tank a long drink. "Go ahead, Johnny,” he said, "sounds lovely—like any other fairy tale.” "Fairy tale!" cried little Robertson. "Fairy tale, you blue-nosed Puritan. That's all you know. You'vo been neglecting your opportunities." Neale answered sharply, “Puritan be damned! I'm no Karl Hall Chrlster! I know Swinburne enough sight better than you do.” (Continued In The Morning Bee.)

The eyes of the little children In the kitchen of the house across the road were suddenly voracious at Katie’s description of the food she meant to bring them. It waa just a look as one sees in the eyes of hungry puppies, and I turned swiftly to my little maid, who was already at the door. "Is there any way I can help *you, Katie?" "No. ma’am!" Katie’s answer was most emphatic. "You stay right here. Ven I in hurry I vant nobody help, only Jeem to carry tings." She closed the door on her last words and Katherine, with her eyes on the moaning white-faced baby spoke again impatiently: "These older children can stand it, but this baby needs its mother right away. What are you going to do?” I turned to the young officer who scratched his head helplessly at Katherine's words. That he was as sorry for the children as we were, I could readily see, but he was too young and inexperienced to have any resourcefulness in the matter. "Where did the other officer take the woman?” I asked. “Down the Sag,” he answered, “to the J. P. I suppose he sent her and her husband over to the Jail.” Katherine looked at me worriedly. "I don’t like to take this baby out into the cold air.” she said with pro fessional concern. “It hasn’t suffi cient clothing. But—" "I’ll go after the mother,” I said promptly. "I am sure I can get her home for awhile, even if I have to take her back again.’ ’ "I'll bank on you,” Katherine said quietly. "And when Katie comes over with the food for these children will you also send me these things?" She enumerated a number of articles which meant comfort for the ailing infant. “Of course." I promised, and hur ried out of the house and back to my own home. My mother-in-law met me at the door, her eyes angrily snapping with baffled curiosity. "Whatever is going on over there?" she asked acridly. “I can't get any thing out of Katie except 'I feex stew qveeck, I got to feex stew awful qveeck.’ ” My mother-in-law's imitation of Katie's Idioms was a fearful and won m-« Summer Time Appetites Crave Summer Time Foods Try a WELCH club sandwich . . . 25c and with it all the Alamito Locust Lane butter milk you can drink FREE . . .
