He seemed to wish to npcnk. to

Kpoken mid would not rouso up from
his inwards. Finally ho uttered words.
"I I well, I"
"Oh, I know," sho said. "A mnn
r a boy I always hntcs to bo intrud
ing his own convictions upon other
men, especially in n case like this,
where ho might be afraid of some
idiot's thinking him unmanlike. But
Ttamsey " Suddenly sho broke- oft
und looked at htm attentively ; his dis
comfort had become so obvious that
suspicion struck liar. Sho spoke sharp
ly. "Humsey, yeu Aren't dreaming of
doing such n tiling, arc you?"
"What such a thing?"
"Fred hasn't Influenced you, hns he?
You aren't planning to go with him,
ur you?" ,
"Where?"
"To Join tho Canadian aviation."
"No; I hadn't thought of doing It."
She sighed again, relieved. "I had a
fcueer feeling about you Just then
that you wcro thinking of doing somo
such thing. You looked so odd and
you're always so quiet, anybody might
not really know what to think. But
I'm not wrong about you, am I, Itnm
soy?" They had come to tho foot of the
steps that led up to tTio entrance of
liur dormitory, and their walk was at
an end. As they stopped and faced
each other, she looked at him earnest
ly; hut he did not meet the scrutiny,
Ills eyelids fell.
"I'm not wrong, am I, Itamsey?"
"About what?" he murmured, un
comfortably. "You are my friend, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Then It's all right," sho said. "That
relieves mo and makes mo happier
than I was Just now, for of course if
you're my friend you wouldn't let me
make any mlstako about you. I be
lieve you, and now, Just before I go
in and wo won't seo much of each
other for n week If you still want mo
to go with you again next Sunday"
"Yes won't you, please?"
"Yes, If you like. But I want to tell
you now that I count on you In nil tills,
oven though you don't 'talk much,' as
you say; I count on you more than
I do on anybody else, and I trust you
when you say you're my friend, and it
makes mo happy.
"And I think perhaps you're right
about Fred Mitchell. Talk isn't ev
erything, nobody knows that better
thou I, who talk so much! and I
think that, instend of talking to Fred,
a steady, quiet Intlucuco llko yours
would da moro good than any amount
of arguing. So I trust' you, you see?
'And I'm sorry I had that queer doubt
of you." She held out her hand. "Un
less I happen to see you on the campus
for a minute, in tho meantime, It's
good-bye until a week from todny. So
well, so, good-bye until thcnl"
"Walt," said Itnmsey.
"What is it?"
lie made a great struggle. "I'm not
Influencing Fred not to go," he said.
"I don't want you to trust me to do
anything like that."
"What?"
"I think It's nil right for him to go,
If he wants to," Itnmsey said, mis
erably. "You do? For him to go to flght?"
i He swallowed. "Yes."
"Oh l" stie cried, turned even redder
than he, and ran up the stone steps.
But before- tho storm doors closed
upon her sho looked down to where he
stood, with his eyes still lowered, a
lonely seeming figure, upon tho pave
ment below. Her voice caught upon n
'oh as she spoke.
"If you feel like that, you, might as
well go and enlist, yourself," sho said,
bitterly. "I can't I couldn't speak
to you again after this I"
CHAPTER XIV.
It wns easy enough -for him to evndo
Fred Mitchell's rnllylngs these days;
,tho sprig's mood was truculent, not
toward his roommate but toward con
gress, which was less In fiery hnstd
,tlian ho to he definitely at war with
Germany.
i All through tho university tho
change had come: athletics, in other
years spotlighted at tho center of the
stage, languished suddenly, threatened
with abandonment; students working
for senior honors forgot thorn; every
thing was forgotten except that grow
ing thunder In tho soil.
Several weeks elapsed after Dora's
bitter dismissal of Itamsey before she
was mentioned between the comrades.
Then, one evening. Fred asked, as he
restlessly paced their study floor;
"nave you seen your pacifist friend

"No. Not exactly. Why?"
"Well, for my part, I think she ought
to be lockod up," Frod said, angrily.

"It's nil over college. Sho got up in
the clnss In Jurisprudence nnd made n
speech. It's n big class, you know,
over two hundred, under Dean Burney.
He's u great lecturer, hut lie's a pacifist
the only one on the fnculty and a
friend of Dora's. They say he encour
aged her to make this break and led
tho subject around so sho could do it,
and then called on her for on opinion,
as the highest-stand student In tho
class. She got up nnd claimed there
wasn't any such thing ns u lcgltlmuto
causo for war, either legally or moral
ly, nnd said it was a sign of weakness
In a nation for It to believe thnt It did
haye n causo for war.
"Well, It was too much for that lit
tle, spunky Joe Stnnshury, and he
Jumped tip nnd nrgucd with her. He
made her admit nil the Germans have
'done to us, the sen murders nnd tho
hind murders, the blowing up of fac
tories, the propaganda, the strikes,
trying to turn the United States Into a
German settlement, trying to get
Japan nnd Mexico to wake war on us,
and nil the rest. Ho even made her
admit there was proof they mean to
conquer us when they get through with
the others, and thnt they've set out to
rule the world for their own benefit,
and make whoever else they kindly
allow to live, work for them.
"Sho snld It might be true, but since
nothing at all could bo u right cause
for war, then all this couldn't bo a
cuuso for war. Of course she had her
regular pacifist 'logic' working; she
said that since war Is the worst thing
there Is, why, all other evils were

lesser, and a lesser evil can't be a Just
cause for a greater. She got terribly
excited, they say, but kept, right on,
anyway. She said war was murder
and there coudn't be any other way to
look at it; and she'd heard there was
already tulk In the university 'of stu
dents thinking nbout enlisting, and
whoever did such a thing wns virtual
ly enlisting to return murder for mur
der. Then Joe Stanshury asked her If
sho meant that she'd feel toward nny
student thnt enlisted the way she
would toward a murderer, and she
said, yes, she'd have a horror of any
student that enlisted.
"Well, that broke up tho class; Joe
turned from her to the platform and
told old Burney that ho was responsi
ble for allowing such talk In his lecture
room, and Joe said so far as he was
concerned, he resigned from Barney's
classes right there. That started It,
and practically the whole class got up
and walked out with Joe. They said
Burney streaked off home, and Dora
wns left alone In there, with her head
down on her desk and I guess sho
certainly deserves It. A good many
have already stopped speaking to her."

"Why oughtn't they?" Fred demand

It has Its own positive and negative

"Yes I" snld the hot-headed Fred.

you, and w6 oughtn't to. Dorn Yocum's

had the whole show! But now, since
she's Just the same ns, called any stu

Ho paused In his wnlklng to nnd fro
nnd enmc to a halt behind his friend's
clinlr, looking down compassionately
upon the hack of Rnmscy's motionless
hend. Ills tono changed. "I guess it
Isn't Just tho ticket me to bo talking
this way to you, Is It?" he said, with a
trace of husklness.
"Oh it's nil right," Ramsey mur
mured, not altering his position.
"I can't help blowing up," Fred went
on. "I wont to say, though, I know
I'm not very considerate to blow up
nbout her to you this way. I'vo been
playing horso with you nbout her ever
since freshman yenr, but well, you
must have understood, Itnm, I never
meant nnythlng thnt would really both
er you much, nnd I thought well, I
really thought It was n good thing,
you your well, I mean nbout her,
you know. I'm on, all right. I know
It's pretty serious with you." He
paused.
"Its It's kind of tough lucid" his
friend contrived to any; and ho began
to pnee the floor again.
"Oh well " ho said.
"See here, olo etlck-In-Uie-mud,"
Fred broke out abruptly. "After her
saying whnt she did Well, It's none
o' my business, but but "
"Well, what?" Ramsey murmured.
"I don't enre what you say, if you
want to say anything."
"Well. I got to say It," Fred hnlf
groaned nnd half blurted. "After sho
said that nnd she meant It why, If
I were In your plnce I'd be darned If
I'd be seen out wnlklng with her
again."
"I'm not going to be," Ramsey said,
quietly.
"By George I" And now Fred halted
In front of him, both being huskily
solemn. "I think I understand n little
of whnt that means to you, old Ram
sey; I think I do. I think I know
something of whnt it costs you to
make that resolution for your coun
try's snke." Impulsively he extended
his hand. "It's a pretty big thing for
you to do. Will you shake hands?"
But Ramsey shook his head. "I
didn't do It. I wouldn't ever havo done
anything Just on nccount of her talk
In' that way. Sho shut tho door on
me it wns n good while ngo."
"She did I What for?"
"Well, I'm not much of a talker, you
know, Fred," snld Ramsey, staring nt
tho pen he plnycd with. "I'm not much
of nnythlng, for that matter, prob'ly,
but I well I"
"You what?"
"Well, I had to tell her I didn't feel
nbout things the wny she did. She'd
thought I had, nil along, I guess. Any
way, It made her hate mo or some
thing, I guess; nnd she called It all
oft. I expect there wasn't much to call
off, so far as she was concerned, any
how." He laughed feebly. "She told
me I bettor go nnd enlist."
"Pleusant of her!" Fred muttered.
"Especially as wo know what sho
thinks enlisting menns." He raised his
voice cheerfully. "Well, that's settled ;
and, thank God, old Mr. Bernstorff s on
his way to his sweet llttlo vlne-clnd

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
Daniel's Herolo Kaith.
YOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Trials and Triumphs of l'ulth.
1. Daniel the Prime Minister of the
Medo-Perslan Empire (vv. 1-3).
Sterling worth brought hlm to tho
front nnd kept him there. Tho new
king wns keen to discern his worth uud
to give It recognition.
II. An Occasion Sought Against
Daniel (vv. 4-0).
11. The reason for (v. -1). No doubt
that which prompted this effort wns
their envy nnd Jealousy. The presence
of envy ulwuys shows Inferiority. It
is hard for the human heart to forgive
those who excel.
2. Failure of (v. -1). Daniel's ofll
clul record wns blameless. They
could not even find an error. Knvy Is
still in tho world. Those who excel In
any line arc sure to suffer in some
wny for their excellencies.
H. The wicked plot (vv. 5-0).
They trumped up n charge, on tho
ground of his foreign religion. They
were not enreful ubout their method,
Just so their end wns attained. When
surrounded by such hatred only the
fear of God can save. Everyone needs
that help dally. In spite of Daniel's
loyalty the decree wns signed by the
king which would put him Into the den
of lions.
III. Daniel's Noble Confession
(vv. 10-13).
Though Daniel knew thnt the wicked
decree was signed he knelt before God
as usual. Note the silence of heroism.
Weak men bluster; strong men have
little to say.
1. He continued his usual habit
(v. 10). Itegular habitual prayer is
essential to right life. Habit bus mi
Important bearing upon life und espe
cially upon our religious life. He
knew that the civil law had absolutely
nothing to do with his religion. God's
law Is first. When thu laws of earth
conflict with God's laws there Is but
one thing to do. Laws forbidding to
read the Bible, to pray, or to meet
to worship God, have no authority over
men.
'2. Daniel reported to the king
(vv. 11-13). These wicked men
watched to find out as to whether
Daniel would pray before his God,
uud when they found that he continued
his worship of the true God they went
to the king uud reported that Duulel
disregarded his decree.
IV. The Foolish Decree Executed
(vv. 14-17).
1. The king displeased with him
self (v 14). He labored till the going
down of the sun to deliver Daniel. He
was conscious that he hud been en
trapped. a. The king helpless (v. 15). Thu
proud ruler found that ho wus a slave.
3. Daniel cast Into the den of lions
(v. 10). Thu king's parting word to
Dunlel wns a poor, feeble excuse for
his guilty conscience.
4. The Double Seal (v. 17). This
double uct shows that ono rascal will
not trust another.
V. Daniel Delivered (vv. 18-123).
1. Note the contrast between the
night spent in the lion's den und the
oue in the palace. In the palace there
was no sleep, no mirth. Daniel's quiet
ls'as u picture of the safety and pence
which uro the portion of those who
trust God and do Ills will.
2. The Icing's question in the
morning (v. '20).
3. Daniel's answer (v. 22). God's
angel has done many wonderful works.
Thu early Christians despibcd bonds,
stripes und death.
4. Daniel delivered (v. 23). No
manner of hurt was found because
ho believed in his God.
VI. Tho Doom of His Accusers
(v. 21).
They were cast Into tho den of lions
uud before they even came to tho bot
tom of tho ilen their bones were broken
In pieces. This is an exnmplo of re
tribute Justice. Daniel's enemies go
Into tho same trap which they pre
pared for him.
VII. Darius' Decree (vv. 2."-27).
Men were to tremble und fear before
Daniel's God. As to whether Dnrlus
hud a change of heart we do not know.
VIII. Daniel's Prosperity (v. 28).
Daniel goes higher Into the king
dom und continues In his place of
honor even though dynasties change.
