We ' ll be late to tea if you stand here much longer. The speaker was one of a group of five girls, who were talking together in the one lit- tle park that Belleville owned. Oh, girls! how can II What would Miss Sampson say! said Margaret Horton, as she looked around appre- hensively. Bother Miss Sampson! You ' re at our mercy now. Do as we tell you. Margaret was not a coward, but a natural reserve, in making herself conspicuous, held her back. She walked along for a few minutes, her eyes scanning the village street. Suddenly a shrill whistle aroused her. The test had cornel She became aware of a stalwart young fellow in outing flannels coming toward her. Here was the man! Her courage ebbed, but her pride came to her rescue and stepping In front of the astonished man she said, Please, sir, lend mo a dollar. My hat! Is she orar.y? he thought, but quickly ban- ished that Idea as he glanced Into her clear eyes, now a little troubled. He gased speechlessly at her for a few seconds till again the sweet voice, now filled with tears, said, Have you the money with you? t want a dollar. He saw four girls approaching, and, wishing to save her further humiliation, he reached down iu his pocket, drew out a silver dollar, and pressed It into her hand. With a hurried thank you ’’ and an appealing look, she moved away from him. He turned tuvol- I S O D E, . Hoyt Aonkw. untarily to watch her and saw her join the girls who had passed them. He was more mystified than ever. The girls hastened along the street to the outskirts of the village and entered the door of Miss Sampson’s school for young ladies.

When Margaret and her chum, Mabel Winters, reached their room, Margaret’s pent-up feelings burst forth and as she threw herself on the bed she sobbed: Oh, Mab dear, he thought I was a lunatic. I could see It in his eyes. But he was so considerate. If I only knew who he was I’d send his old dollar back. I suppose I’d be allowed to do that. Now see here Marg., I’m sorry for you. I know who he is but don’t you breathe a word. The girls would be furious. He’s over at Green College— a senior law and friend of Bud’s. Cheer up, we’ll fix it. The result of this conference was the note that J ack Stam- ford received a few days later. It read: My Dear Mr. Stamford:— Here is your money. I thank you for your kindness and you will doubtless understand my action when you learn that I am a Tau Phi Kappa pledge. Sincerely, Margaret Horton. “Oh, of course I understand now,” he said. I might have kuown. I suppose Mabel Winters told her my name. Jove, I’d like to meet that charming young person. Wonder if I have a card to the Senior Prom. Oh, yes, here it is in this mail too. I am going to write and I can’t find out soon- er what she will think of me.” The note caused more excitement than he dreamed of when
