Thu coming graduate seated herself
Jongaidu of tlio horse reporter's desk.
'Shall I bogiu at thu beginning ! ' aho

"I think you might better , " waa
ho reply.
"Schoolmatoa , " began the girl , "wo

"Hold on , " said the horse reporter.
"Como back and get the word again. "
1 Why , what is the matter , sirJ"
asked the young lady.
"That's all wrong , " was the reply.
"How can any ono stand upon the
verge of a shoreless sea ? If A aoa'a
got a verge it isn't shoreless by quito
considerable. You must rig that sentence -
tonco up differently. "
1 Do you think ao ? "
"Certainly I do. Yon might aa
well say you were sitting in the arm
chair of a chairlcsa parlor. I suppose
you have been there. "
The young lady blushed and said
who didn't down ,
_ "I reckoned you's grasped the
simile , " aaid St , Julicn'a friend.
"Chicago girls may not bo beautiful ,
but they are superbly fly. Now wo'll '
: hango that line to 'Wo aland upon

as far aa tlio eye can follow , until Its.
shimmering surface is kissed by the
wrplo rim of a horizon that bonds to
uoot its laughing waves as the mother
) ends over her baby boy all gentleness -
ness and lovo1 now that'a n daiay
sentence. "
"Don yon think ao ? " asked the girl.
"You bet I do. "
"Perhaps , then , you would bo kind
enough to suggest the outline of an es-
ay for me. I hardly think the ono
have written would suit you. "
"Well , " aaid the horse reporter ,
'yon want to say something that will
atch the old men that have nice
oung nous ; something that will carry
ho old toughs back into thu misty
i.it with its Hood of tender rocolloc-
ioiin , and make 'em fool aa if they
ought to have died early. The Ship
of Life racket ia a prolty good ono. "
"Tho what ? " rmkott the youg lady.
"Tho Ship of Life racket , " replied
horse reporter ; "and seeing that you
have started out on a eorl of marine
ess.iy , porhapj ] it would bo the best
way to have it head. You take that
sentence about the shimmering sea
being kissed by the horizon , for a.
starter , and then you go ahead and
tell how , when sombre Night has
ipread its sable pall over the forest and
moorland , over palace-hall and humble
aot , there gleams forth in nil its pure
radiance the clear , steady light of a
high and noble purpose , never fading ,
oven when dark clouda of despair hang
heavily athwart the horizon , and the
lurid Ihshof the distant lightning , fol
lowed by the honrso rumbling of the
thunder like the muttering of a
mighty giant , foretell the coming of a
itorm in which thu very elements shall
rage in blind fury against each other.
That'a a corker , ain't it ? "
"I suppose so , " was the reply.
"You bet it is , pis ; only you mustn't
forget to get in words like 'lurid
Hash' and 'puro radiance , ' because
they're what aot out the balance of
tlio slush. I know , because I'vo been
through college myself. "
"Have you ? " said tlio girl.
"Yea. I know you wouldn't aus-

jttos or ride a bicycle , but I'vo been
-bore , all thouamo. "
"Ia that all I should write that
ibout the storm ? " the girl asked.
- "Well , I should say not. You -want
to describe tlio squall in all its dreadful -
ful splendor , and toll a nicbj easy'lio'- "
ibout a fltatoly ship time has como
from the far-away islands of the south-
jrn seas , whore the breezes are laden
vith tim balmy odor of spices , and
dl that kind of rubbish , you know.
L'hon work up the peroration. Toll
tow the good ship , almost in sight of
ionic , is attacked by the tempest ,
live 'em a great talk about the orst-
rhilo placid surface of the mighty
loop being lashed into ungovernable
ury by the fierce wind that seem to
nugh wild , demoniac laugh in vary
; lou at the destruction they are caus-
ng. And then , when everything
ooks as dreary , and desolate and
lopoloss as the editorial page of a Mil-
niukoo paper , lug out thu light gleani

"lo you really think ao ? "
"It's dead cortain. "
"Then I shall follow your advice ;

ho door.
"Don't forgot about the lurid glare ,
is , " shouted the horse reporter.
"I will remember it , sir , " waa the
eply , accompanied oy amnilo. _
"And the pure radiance of the
Limo , " ho continued. "A ihmo with-
iut a pure radiaucu is of no earthly

"I won't forgot , " and another smile
ms wafted down the hallway. "And.
