Says Bugs'
aer-:
He said: "Tomorrow is Thanks
giving. I have looked over the team's
1923 record, and I find that we man
aged to break 50 heads, eight ankles
and 20 noses. Therefore, we should
be thankful."
The Glutt proposed three rousing
protests for the president, who
then said the faculty would play
the varsity eleven.
The Glutt kicked Off. He slugged
the president so hard that he kicked
off, too.
When the Glutt got the ball he
was a pathfinder for a stampede of
wild lomocotives. The game was
divided into four periods. The first
oerlod was for slugging, the second
lor refreshments, the third for re
pairs and the fourth for cheers.
The picture was so successful
that all the Rufftown debutantes
asked the tacking dummy to auto
graph it.
That made the president so sore
that lie said that there would lie no
more football played at Rufftown.
He called all the players together
again and said:
"Vou big padded bums have been
sating at Rufftown's expense long
enough. 1 want to find the man
who wore his shir.guards when
dancing with my wife at the junior
prom."
There was no answer. All the Ruff
town freshmores were loyal: The
president then continued:
“And who was the bonro who
fumbled the gate receipts. There is
almost 11 cents missing from oili
yearly deficits."
Once again silence was in the
majority. The president then got
disgusted and told the Glutt lie
was through. The Glutt hated to
leave dear old Rufftown because
he liked their eligibility rule and
he was an amateur who craved
good pay.
But he went to an employment
agency and stated his qualifications.
Bo it looks as If a big eastern col
'ege will get a real student for their
bonfire parties and clambakes.
The Glutt has just wired Walter
Camp that he can’t play on his
yearly All-Ambulance eleven be
cause he sprained his fountain pen.

a tli|! to Chicago. Alter seeing her
duuxhtrr aboard the train hi Boston
Stella xoes to u rate where she meets mi
old admirer, Alfred Munn, with whom
she attends u musical farce.
(Continued from Yesterday.)
She wished he wouldn't call Laurel
"the kid" and the "offspring." She
wished his linen collar hadn't bden
grimmy round the top edge. She
wished he hadn't chanced to omit
shaving that morning. A man who
shaved every morning without refer
ence to the day's program, and put
on a clean collar without reference
to the old one, was one of Stella's
tests of a gentleman. Alfred Munn
never was guilty of any such offenses
when he was the vogue in Mllhamp
ton. Yes, yes, Stephen was right.
Second rate—that was the term he
used to apply to Alfred Munn. Well,
she didn't care. It didn't rob orches
tra seats at the most popular shows
in town of their atractlon for Stella,
or luncheon tables in the most
popular restaurant in town of the^r
luxury and joy, Alfred Munn was
going to take her for lunch next
Saturday to the newest and most ex
pensive hotel in the city.

Stella spent that evening packing
her trunks (there remained two old
fashioned humpbacked affairai. and
again it was early morning before
she lay down in the battered white
iron tied to go to sleep.
Stella never stayed on at the ex
pensive summer resorts after Laurel
went. Fifteen miles nearer Boston,
along a sandy beach, there was a
stretch of board-walk, with the ocean
on one side, and on the other, a
row of cheap amusement places. Be
hind this row of amusement places
there was a nest of lodging houses.
Hy occupying a iwom in one of these
houses, and taking her ineals outside,
Stella could save cnougii money over
what, It cost her to live at the ex
pensive summer hotel, to buy several
permanents for Laurel, and a wrist
watch and a fur coat, too, if Stephen
still persisted In books.

have to economize on $3.">0 a month,

to stretch every single penny you
have left to clothe the child properly,
to say nothing of yourself, and your
own rags.
"I suppose $4,200 a year sounds
plenty enough to Stephen." Stella said
to her old friend Effle McDavttt.
But Stephen and I have probably
got different Ideas about how the child
should be brought up. Well, I'll never
ask him for any more. I'll never go
grovelling to Stephen Dallas for
money as long as I live! I’ll tell you
that! No, sir-ee! I've got some pride,
even though he has acted as if I
hadn't any feelings."
The boarding houses at Belcher’s
beach, as the amusement boulevard
was called, were not attractive. The
people who patronized them wore
not attractive either. The women
were loud-voiced and loud-mannered,
and spent a good deal of time walking
to and from the beach, in bathrobes
and canvas sandals; and the masculine
element, if one existed, was likely to
bn found sitting In his shirt sleeves
on the boarding-house porch, ready
to make remarks to the robed ladles
as they came trooping up the steps
munching peanuts and popcorn cakes.
Stella did not confide this particular
economy of hers to laurel. Laurel
mustn't know that her mother mixed
up with such society. Stella didn't
in fact mix up with It, but Laurel
musn’t know that her mother even
slept under the same roof with people
of that sort.
Laurel, at 13, wu not a prolific
letter writer, hut whatever me*sage
she dlf! send Stella she directed to
the summer hotel, where she supposed
her mother was to remain. These
were forwarded by the clerk at the
hotel, according to Stella's instruc
tions. to Milhampton. care of a cer
tain Effle McDarltt. Stella didn't ob
ject to Effie's knowing about the
cheap lodging house—poor worn-out,
down-at the heel Effle. Effle was ths
only one of her girlhood friends whom
Stella hadn't managed to lose. She
had tried to lose Effle. Had suc
ceeded for a while, too, during the
height of her social success In Mil
hampton. But Kffle hadn't stayed
lost. Effle was the sort of woman
whom you can grind your heel on
In the dirt and It won't kill her
loyalty. Like a Vorm. Cut her feel
ings of friendship for you In two,
and the parts will still wiggle.
Of course Stella nvlght hav» gone
back to the little red cottage house
outside Milhampton during Laurel s
licence and stayed with her father,
if she could have endured the eccen
tricities of his old age and the lack
of uny attempt at self respecting ex
istence. iHe let the hens come right
into the kitchen now, and he'd drag
ged his miserable bed in there, too—
all rags, and no sheets.) And Stella
could endure much to save a little
money, but the danger of discovery
was great. Ever since her marriage
Stella had l>een struggling to cover up
her early connections with the little
red cottage house. She had nn idea
she had succeeded fairly well, too.
At jtnJcher h bench Stella never met
anybody whom she knew, nor who
knew her. It was only 15 miles nway
from the big summer hotel where
she and Laurel had spent the season,
hut It was an entirely different world
The guests from the big .summer
hotel never leU the automobile high
way, a half a mile inland, to seek
out Belcher's beach. There was an
other amusement boulevard of bigger
proportions and of lens tawdry ap
pearance a few miles farther on.
This wasn’t the first time Htella had
successfully hidden herself at Belch
er’s beach, during Laurel's absence.
Hhe had tested Its advantages for
some three or four years now. It had
advantages. For one thing. It was
near enough to Boston so that when
the “dirt commonness of the hole" got
too unbearable she could dress up In
ber best clothes and escape to the
Hoylston street shops Without the
price of the ticket hurting too much.
It was cheaper than living in Bos
ton Itself. Take Just the f*>. d for
instance. Htelhi had alw us liked
hot frank forts embedded in a soft
biscuit, slimy with mustard There
were several night-lunch carts lit
Belcher’s bench. It was not conspicu
ous, in the least, for a lady to buy a
meal st the door of one « f the night*
lunch carts, and entry it away, hot,
In a damp brown paper, under her
arm.
It wm* not conspicuous to return
from Boston nt a late hour with Fd
Munn after one of bin grand patties
It was lust as well. Htella supposed,
not to be seen with Bd Munn too
much after all the silly talk tin re had
been about him and bet lit Mllhamp
ton years ago. I'.ven if she could
have afforded to stay on at the expen
jilve hotel, «hs would have been
obliged to have foregone t»xi mam
parties with Bd There were some
compensations and. ostrich w she
stuck her hand in th« sand of Belch
er's beach ami proceeded to enjoy
them.
One late Saturday night Kd Munn,
who had seen Stella decently Inside
the front door of the boarding house
at Belcher's beach, after one of his
parties in town, had asked her with
an Insinuating smile, glancing to
wards the stairs. "Sure you can un
lock your door alone.
Stella hadn't taken offense. Ed
was like that
"Of course I can, you goose." She
flashed lwtck. "I>o I look feeble?"
You can Just bet she didn't let
any masculine escort trail up any In
side stairs behind her! Some women
in the boarding house did!
Too had Ed had Uiat common
streak in him. Some men would
'know when and where it was good
taste to spring a Joke of that sort.
Stella was blissfully unaware, ns
she climbed the stairs alone to her
room that night, that at the same
moment, a touring car, with two ex
cited women in Its rear seat, was
slipping smoothly away from under
the arc light that hung on the tall
pole outside Stella's laxirding house.
The automobile had stopped under
the light for only a moment. The
chauffeur had wanted to find out how
much gasoline he had. It was unfor
tunate for Stella that the car hadn't
stopped longer. The two occupants
in the back of the oar had Been Al
fred Munn follow' Stella Dallas Into
the boarding house, but they hadn’t
seen him come out!
One of the women In the back of
the car was Mrs. Henry Holland.
The other was Mrs. Kay Bird. They
both lived In Milhampton In the win
ter. Mrs. Kay Bird occupied rooms
directly opposite Stella in the same
apartment hotel.
“It was she! I can sw’oar to It!”
said Mrs. Henry Holland, as she
clutched the arm of her companion.
"It was he, I'd know him any
where!" said Mrs. Kay Bird, as she
clutched hack.___
"Only ten days more." «iid Stella,
half an hour later as she knelt In the
dirk by her bed. "Gosh: how I miss
you, Lollie"
CHAPTBlt VI.
The red cottage house where Stella
had lived as a young girl, and until
she married Stephen Dallas, was lo
cated in an outlying district of Mil
hampton. The district was known
ns Cataract Village. The little set
tlement of houses was named after
the Cataract Mills, and the mill" were
named after a fall of water hidden
insirlo them somewhere, over which
they crouched like some great vam
pire and sucked the strength that
made their wheels go round.
Cataract Village was the home of
the Cataract Mill employes. Stella's
father had worked In the mills ever
since he was a boy. Stella was born
In one of the ugly three-deckers, close
to the mill gate. She was 10 years
old when her father bought one of
the red cottage-houses on the river
bank. She had been proud of the
cottage then, and proud of it, too, as
she grew older. On each side of the
little porch over the front door, every
spring, for years, Stella planted morn
ing glories and wild-cucumber vine,
which climbed a string trellis of her
own making.
The first time Stephen went to see
Stella at the red cottage her vines
were profuse with leaf and blossom.
She had trained the docile vines to
run all over the picket fern** that
surrounded the little house. *nd had
shrouded the hack porch with them:
had shrouded with them, too, a lat
ticed summer-house which stood in
the sidevard. Stella had copied the
summer house, with much the same
genius with which she copied hats or
dresses, from a summer-house she
had seen in a garden In Milhampton
I across the river. Stella s summer
house was made of plasterer’s laths
painted white, and criss-crossed. The
summer-house in the garden at MU

was just as dense inside Ktella's sum

Stella had been particular to plant
her seeds thick. Inside Stella’s sum
