Illbz Brincipafs Story Vashti Montgomery It was growing well on in the afternoon of a dark Novcmlber day when a strange mran presented himself at my oliice in the Monessen High School. From the moment this person stepped into the room I began to regard him with much curiosity. He was of short stature and very heavy build. His skin, hair, and eyes were very dark. To sur- vey him more critically l turned on the light. To my surprise I could not make out on the instant whether I looked at a man or a boy. His cheeks were fresh and ruddy and as beardless and smooth as a girl's, while a drawn and lined forehead indicated the deep thought and per- haps craft of mature years. Nothing, however, attracted my attention to him so strongly as the manner in which his large round head was at- tached to his body.

As was my duty I opened this note before delivery. It was merely a line or two from Mrs. Markham directing the girl to come home at once with the bearer, Mr. Allingham. As the individual referred to had not introduced himself, 1 called his attention to the fact. XVith another profound bow and another sweet smile he told me that, as stated in the note, his name was Alling- ham. That he was a former schoolmate of Virginia's cousin at the Michigan Universityg that passing through this section he had called that morning on his old friend at the Mark-hams, that as he would be obliged to go on the next morning they were going to give him a little party that eveningg that was why Virginia was to return home with- out waiting for the train. . The longer 1 listened to this person's musical voi-ce and observed his faultless manner the more I became impressed with the notion that he was an individual of more than ordinary intelligence and cul- 13
