No more parties or girls for me, 1,111 going to do just what I please? He glanced quickly around the room, then ' left for the station. A Dick had been asked to spend part of his vacation with his former roommate at college, Tad Roland. Tad had left college because of his gI'3,lldf3.th61',S death. It was hard for Tad to leave schoolvfduring the last week on account of the numerous banquets and dances given to the graduates, but now he was looking forward to Dick's coming, in the hope that this visit would bring much cheer. Tad met Dick at the train Thursday afternoon. .After the happy greetings were over they drove through the dusty lanes shaded by huge oak trees. 'Tm certainly going to enjoy myself down here, said Dick. You won't catch me doing this and that for any girl. I'm going- to have a rest from that kind of fun, he continued. Still no answer was received from Tad. I Dick turned slowly, scrutinizing his friend, Leaning closer, she noticed a twinkle in Tad's eyes. V A v Say, if you think that I'm going to pilot a girl around down here you are very much mistaken, Mr. Tad Roland, quietly said Dick. l'l1 just walk back to the station and take the first train homef' Don't get excited, Dick, retorted Tad. There aren't any women folks at this ranch but 1ny mother, he paused, and 1ny grand- mother. The last was added with a laugh. I guess that'1l be all right, said Dick, no danger there. ll

They arrived at the ranch in time for a big dinner given in Dick's honor. When they entered the house Tad presented Dick to the rest of the family. All through the .evening Dick was very uncomfortable and troubled while Tad was smiling. What do you mean by this? asked Dick. Didn,t I come down here just to get away from girls and have a good time? Then, the first thing out steps a pretty brunette. Who is she? What's she doing here? stormed Dick. Tad was so full of laughter that he could hardly speak. She's my grandmother, he murmured, through bursts of laughter. Grandmother? Nonsense! ejaculated Dick. Yes, sir, that's just what she is, said Tad. She's only nineteen, she married my grandfather out of pity, just to take care of him. Well, sighed Dick, I guess I'll stay, in spite of the circum- stances. Dick's vacation went all too quickly. It was within two weeks of ending, just long enough for a-but never mind. About this time Tad went to town very early one day. Stopping at the postoffice he found a letter for him. It was a mere note, but that was sufficient. , Dick and grandmother were spending the rest of the vacation on their honeymoon. They had eloped, and the note was signed, 4'Your loving Grandmother. MAUD BRESSIE, '22, TGGCIIGFS ID you ever stop to think about teachers, just plain everyday teachers whom you meet in your class rooms? Every student, acknowledge or deny the fact, forms an estimate of his teachers the minute he meets them. By this I do not mean that he is plotting and planning to find the most reliable way to bluff her and still get away with creditable marks at the end of the term. I mean that the average student estimates the character or, in other Words, the soul of the teacher. Teachers can be grouped into three distinct classesg teachers that are machines, teachers that are human beings, and teachers that have a changeable soul. There are others with constantly changing souls. They cannot be included in these three classes because they n 12
