The chum complied and in a moment had the reluctant Seymour by the arm. Tho bcouo that flowed must bavo been all that Elliott desired. For a moment the poor student stood before the hello. It was not unlike the tableau of the beggar and the princess. Her easy atti tude constraBted strangely with his painful awkwardness. Elliott had not miscalculated. I ho effect was immediate. All eyes wore turned toward the couple end a smile wont around. Charlotte Mordon paw it, and hor cheeks flamed. She had divined tho heartless ioku. To the surprise of tho.10 alxut her she bogged Seymour to be xeatod insisted that he should be Heated. Iheu she tried to draw him into the conversation. But it was iuipoHsiblo. Em barrassment seemed to have driven his wits away. Only one remark he ventured. Glanc ing at a portrait ou tne wall, he stammere.l out. "That's a tood picture of tho president.'" The portrait was one taken thirty years before ana was anyiuing mil a goou liKeness oi me president as ha then ho appeared. Tlia un fortunate remark caused another smile. El liott was delighted. His joke was a splendid success. Poor Seymour twisted about in his chair and hung his head. His discomfiture was complete. Miss Merdon took a deliberate look at tho picture, and did not smile. "Yes," sho said, nt is called a very good likeness of him just after graduation, ilave yon seen the presi dent's flowers, Mr. Seymour? Let mo show them to you." IUsing, and exec ring herself, sho led tha young man into the greenhouse, adjoining the parlor. The devil V said Elliott. KI didn't look for anything like that." beymour. rescued in this way from bis try ing ordeal, hardly knew what to sat or do. He felt as if a millstone had been taken from his neck. The pain and the manner of relief worked strangely on his sensitive nature, lie felt that he was in great debt to his companion. He wanted to kiss the hem of her garment He wanted to crv. He knew he was feeling and acting like a fool. He expected that he nhoulJ make a greater fcol of himself thin in tho par lor. Uut some w .y lie uidn t care, no naa lost all fear of tho beautiful girL Her act of mercy had brought her nearer than years of acquaintance could, lie talked rapidly of the flowers, for he knew of them, and Charlotte listened listene.l wondering why she cared to listen, little thinking that her sympathy had brought the awkward student nearer than ho would havebceu had sho known him halt1 hor lif e-timo and never seen him in pain. So when ij pointed out to her tho observatory where he worked, the queerly shaped building that showed its dark outlines in the moonlight, just over the campus ou the hill, she wondered what it was that prompted her to besr him to take her there, to exact a promise from him that, on the verv next evening, he would con duct her through tho building, that had been built after her father s orders. She persuaded herself that it was a desire to see some raaim- oripts of her father's which Sevmour told her hau been left there. Perhaps it was. Notwithstanding her mother's mild remon strance, tho next evening found her with Brent Seymour in the telescope room of the observa tory. The roof h.-id boon let down and she was watching the stars. X wonder if lather often studied them from thia room," she said. n h-never the sky was clear. i wonder if he can see them now." "No. 1 think that through some one of them ho is looking at us." i ar from science and astronomy, far. rery far, from his scholarly stand-point, the man's childish reply had taken him, but it had car ried him nearer the heart of the ffirl than he dreamed Mrs. Merdon's disapproval of her daughter's visit to the observatory with Seymour broad enod into anger as his calls were repeated, and repeated often. An intimacy grew between the young people that, even to themselves.thoy did not undertake to explain. The girl's friendship had opened a new world to the hard-worked stndont. Had he known more of life, he would have known that he was falling in love. Over the other a secret was stealing aa steadily as comas over us the morning. A month had passed since the senior party. Thu two sat again in tha telescope room. Sho soomod to be studying the stars. "And do you remember," she was asking, "that, that evening, you thonght through some one of them father was looking at us? "Yes." Do vou suppose he can soo us. now?" "Yes'' (in a surprised way. ) "Then" (hesitatingly) "do you think he la glad is glad to s-e us together?" "Won't you" (tho voice was very husky) won't vu answer for me?" "Yes, she said, in a voico clear aa a harp chord, "I know he is." Seymour wondered if his "senses were giving way. He hardly knew what followed. Ho meant to ask he tried to ask if she didn't think her father would bo glad to see them always together. Somehow that seemed long aud lieu w aud he couldn't make the words come, lie had a choking Bensation in his throat ond ti a eyea were blinded with tears. Be felt jnst'as lie had in the greenhouse the night of the senior party. He wanted to kiss tho hem of her garment He felt that he was in d bt to her and falling deeper in debt evory moment He knew he was maUn a fool of He was the hap- aw that tho door wan- partly open. She knew what it meant Women, even among them selves, make their reconciliations graecfolly, gradually. She pushed the door wldti tpn, as hor mother had intended sho should, and went lu. '1 ho lady eat by her writing-table her head rested wu her hand, aud aha was okloutly sleeping. A hula pile of letters lay beforti hex, a pictuie beside Uieru. Tears had droppoii upou the letters and tho picture showed the status of tears. Charlotte looked at the picture cloMoly. The face was familiar. Surely sh had soeii It before. But where? bbe oould not place it among hor acquaiutauccs. Whose face was it? She started. A broken, ti er tiuu voice Bocmed to say, "2'Lat'a a good pic ture of the preMideut" llsr lover's awkward remark at the party, the portrait on the wall, the picture thai her mother ci ie J over. It was all clear, very clear, and she didn't tare TU road the open bitter by the picture "My poor, dear mother!' she thought, as, without awakomng bur, she glided to bar own room, carrying the greatest Secret of her life time, save one. it was after midnight when Mr a. Merdon awoke. She had hoped her daughter would com in. She wanted to tell her that she was no longer angry, fahs had bt'ii . arried back over taits of her owu iif iii.'i dhe Wauled ta tell Charloth) that after ail ele inuat follow the voice of her hetut, that hi r owu fc.iperisuce Li'l tuubl liur to She wai kltr.oMt ready to confers to her that although fcLe had man led a man who was great, whom evervboJy knew, alio no, no, no. she could not tell her daughter !h it blie could not ti ll her that. Very slowly sLe put away the letters and the pictare, spy ing, "Ye, 1 loved him then, and, Uod forgiv ine, I have loved him ever since " At noon the next day a sei vant brought a no'e lo tho president's etudy: "Charlotte E.

"Yes." "Have you mado any provision yet':' '' "No." "I have a candidate to present. " "What you? AeatHuiUto! Who is it'" "Brent Seymour." Charlotte's intimacy with Seymour was not unknown to the president, but this ait jujlkW him. "it is imposriib'o," ha Si.id; "I do not seo how yon can ak it, how you can think it." "Would yon not do much to bring to you oiie you loved':" Kho asked boldly. A peculiar light came into tho gray tC be hind the steel bowed spectacles. "Yes." "How much?" "Anything." "Would you give a profeesoroLip?" Tho peculiar light increased. It was almost a blaza "Yob". "Will yon givo me this profesaorehip. If I bring to you one yon love?" The gray eyes wero now fairly a flame. She was understood. Ho sprang to his feot Age seemed to fall from him like a sculo. "Girl, what do you mean?" ho shouted. "That sho loves you all the time." There was a base ball match on the collego grounds, but it was not tho topic of the after noon. A report that Brent Soymoar had been appointed to tho chair of astronomy had so:it half tho college to his houso to congratu late him. They could not begin to get iiiHule, bo ho stood out in tho yard and shook h;:i;:ii with them ouo by one. In the early evening a passing student b.iw an unusual visitor go up the path to the Merdon mansion.
