WJ T- ZH NE day, he came. It was in September, and at that prosaic time of day when the sun has reached his zenithg when the Sun-God turns from regretting the peaceful shades left behind him, to hasten down to the promised asylum below the West. So the God ' ' of this epic turned his back on the past, and looked to see what lay before him in the future. One of his friends met him at the station. Therewas a clasping of hands, and then a wandering look of surprise in his eyes. The friend understood, and observed, I guess they don't know you, Algyf' The Divinity frowned, By Jove, Iill tell them, don't you know. Then came his first dash of cold waterg Don't. It might queer you. An ordinary, third-rate sort of god, to come thus unheralded. Well, perhaps. But gods work in climaxes. Wait for the ,close of the chapter.- 63 20

Soon he was all things to all menf, His goings-out and comings-in were not apparently different from those of others, though it might be noticed that his goings-out were rather frequent. And indeed his comings- in were just as numerous. He found an earthly mother on the hill, and occasionally went to reci- tations. He learned to eat the same food and to bluff at the same studies that mortals eat and bluff at. Grassy plots dotted his way after him as he strolled upwards, but at meal times these verdant patches of vegetation were crushed to death by his Attila-like rush downward. He became an athlete. His prowess made his college famous among colleges. He felt that it was a privilege to be allowed in a measure to repay his alma mater for the good things he had received from her, by adding something to her glory. He often joined in the other innocent amusem ents of the people among whom he had come to dwell. At the hops he could always be seen gallantly plucking wall-flowers. The Opera House attracted him. Not seldom he visited in his imagination the lovely Isle of Champagne, or one of our own summer resorts on the fair New Jersey coast. And for many nights there- after-it is rumored,-when Morpheus sent messengers to sooth him, his imagination all unbidden, revisited those same scenes. Not only did he afiiliate with man, but just as graciously with mans complement. Often the female annex swallowed him up, a willing Jonah. During his iirst year, his visits were divided with impartiality. But this is an age of specializing, and he soon followed the tendency of his age. The end is not yet. You must learn the rest at some other time, and from some other and worthier pen. He came into the life of the U. in 1893g there was a World's Exposition to celebrate his coming. He will go out into a still broader, if less pleasant life in 19003 and then there will be another Worlds Exposition, and a new century will be introduced for his use. gases
