HMXOHIAL
Wa arc Informed Hint a petition in
betas; circulated asking for the nom
ination of M. E. Scott as a member
of the Board of Education. Hti friends
Bar that he is to represent the itcuit !
ward whloh does not have a mtmber
on the board.
Interest In tho election of members
of the board . of education centers
around the fact that during the next
two or three years North Platte must
enter upon a giant school building
program. Enormous amounts of mon
ey must be scoured by bond issues
or otherwise. New grade and high
school buildings imiBt be built, new
sites acquired and boundaries located.
These are Jobs for people who are
accustomed to deal v ith big affairs n
a big way. Little people will hare
the big Job to do and will bungle it.
Whoever is elected to the board this
yonr will hold tho offico for t'.rce
years and take a part in this big pro
gram. It is Important that people of
large vision and broad training, who
have n.ade a bUccop of tholr own
businesses be elected to theso places.
The history of debating in the loco!
high school ia Bhort and not vory in
teresting. Up to last year we did not
have much interest in debating hnd
did not have much of a team. Last
year tlm lnte.x:t v. ; keoner and the
toam, more representative. A gooJ
coach was socurod nut. the team won
the district championship and was
Bent to the state demote whore it win
dofented by Cathedral high" school
which later won the aato champion
ship. That was n pretty i,ood record
and brought credit to tho school us
well as quickened inloroa! in dobut
ing. This yoar the team is snid to bo
oven stronger than it was last year.
Thoro is moro Interest about town an.1
tho quostlon Is ol gronlcr conoorn.
Those who havo been concerned lest
athjotlcs Is receiving more Oiap un
due nttontlon, should glv tholr sup
port to dobaUng.nnd.liolp to place it
on an equality with ftihy othor school
tiotfrity.

Professor Singleton snt crouched
over his microscope. To tho observer 1
Hi- would have scorned to bo studying I
only 11 tiny wjmt of jelly upon n slide, t
The proffer, lu, ver, was. locking
Into n thickly populated world. The
drop of Jell, like thfe world, was ,
round, and within it suvcrnl millions
of the splruntheu .lucksonll wero put
ting on wings.
Singleton wns forty-two. . A rich
man, he hud devoted himself for yours
to bin sclenllilc Investigations. Of
Into, however, ever since his mnrriuge
the year before to n charming society j
girl, who had devoted her whole enro
to his welfare, he IiimI lnsenxlbly been i
drawn away from Ills hMiby. That
ho had shamefully neglected Mury did
not occur to him. JJe lived for his re
searches. Mary lived for him. . She
hnd nlmndonod nil her old friends, ex
cept the Streets. George Streot unfl
ah had been great friends before her
marriage, and surprise hud been felt
that she had chosen the professor.
Eor two whole days and a night Sin
gleton hnd bent -over his microscope.
He had not slept ; he hnd enten there,
sipping beef ten ami hot milk which
his wife brought hint. Now at Inst he
wn to be rewarded. Splrnntheft was
undoubtedly passing from the lnrval
Into the pupal stage, and from thnt
Into the' full-Hedged Imago.
Suddenly Professor Singleton hoard
George Street's voice In the next room,
and Mary's answering.
"An old man," Street was saying.
"Mary, you have tied yourself for life
to one who can never appreciate or
understand you. Your life Is one long
sucrllku."
"I know It," nnswored Mary, over so
softly.
Tho professor's heart was thump
ing ugalnsl his ribs. ,
"A shameless solf-worshlper,"
Street's voice continued, "lie lives
for hlmoslf alone."
"No, there you do him an Injustice,"
Mary responded. "He lives for
science."
"And, like a Moloch, It immolates
Its victims upon Its altars. You are
the victim, Mary."
I'rofevfor Singleton sat bolt up
right In his chnlr. For a moment ho
had forgotten his researches. lie
looked around hhn. Ills eye fell upon
a Mn lay kriss hanging upon the wall,
which a friend hud sent him from
Borneo.
The, professor's eye returned me
chanically to tho microscope. The
splrnnthca was emerging from Us
pupu. Undoubtedly this proved Ills
contention.
"How long will you suffer In tills
way Mury? You are fifteen years
younger thnn he. You huve mude a
ghastly error but why should It ruin
your life?"
"It shall- not," Professor Singleton
heard his wife wlrlsper.
Thp professor roso notseltussly out of
his chair. lie took down the krlss
with treiuhllug lingers.
The voices seemed louder now and
shamelessly Indifferent. Professor
Singleton -crept stealthily to tho partly-oponsri
door. ,
"1 love you," he heard reiterated
through Tils maddened brain, and ho
was standing In the room now, ami
still the sounds continued. They
seemod to elude hltn, traveling from
corner to corner. The professor lungqd
forward, his outstretched bunds en
countered n soft object with Hying
draperies, and with a yoll ho thrust
the krlss .upward, turned It, and thrust
again. Then he fell sensolcss upon
the floor.
Morning a quiver of sunlight
voices In tho room. He opened hfs
eyes, to find hlniRolf lying In bed In his
own house, and his wife bending over
him. '
"What Is it? Whom did you come
from?" ho muttered, half unconscious.
"You have been 111, dear," said Mary.
"George Street. Where is lie?" ho
asked.
"George? My dear, don't you re
member that he sailed for the Philip
pines a month ago three" weeks be
fore you were taken 111?"
"What did I do? I killed someone?"
"You were found lying upon tho
floor of tho living room. You hud ta
ken Mr. Humphreys' krlss and dug n
holo In the nrmchnlr You must havo
lain thoro for hours beforo I camo
homo and found you. I thought you
were In your laboratory."
That romlndod him. "Tho micro
scope!" ho exclaimed. "I must go.-
How long hnve I been 111?"
"About a week, dearest."
Tho professor sank buck gronnlng.
A week I Fifty generations of tho
splranthea must hnve been born and
died, and there would be years of pa
lent work before ho could renew tho
ondltlons which had oxlstcd beforo
ho Illusion dragged him from his
hair.
Ho remembered nil now: George's
pnrturo, Mary's absence that ovo-
. i ing at n neighbor's house, Tho voices
j I- nl boon born of his own conscience,
I : d, wenkenod and overstrained, ho
' li ftl hoard them oxtornnlly. Unless
; unless thoy had been sent by some
bonoflcont power to nld nnd warn him.
"Mnry," he said lator that day,
when I got woll I think I shall give
up my rosenrchos Lot younger mon
take up tho work. I havo done with
thorn."
lie saw tho tours In liur oyos.
"I'm n solflsh old beast, my dear,"
ho added. "ButI think I'm putting
on wings now."
But only the professor understood.
