"Well, but he la not stopping at buy

Really! 1 am sorry to hear it, but
the fact doesn't alter my opinion. Fer

til that I can for you. but as the lad
graduated last spring, and as. a week
igo, he voluntarily severed hia con
section with the graduate-school. I
must Insist that the university is no
longer in any wise responsible.
"I dont care who a responsible." de
slared Mr. Ferris, "so long as I can
kn mv son from marrying a mus,
hell elnrer!" With which remark he
bounced out of the office and boarded
ear for his downtown hotel.
Meanwhile, in a typical study not a
thousand yards from where he had
been talking, a distressingly sominsr
wuple a tall, broad-shouldered, blonde
lad and a slip of a dark-eyed girl
were clasping hands across a Hat
topped desk and looking long Into each
there aome hat frightened face.
"I really believe you're sorry." said
the boy In a thoroughly masculine en
eavor to conceal his own weakness by
accusing his comrade.
But his comrade was not so to be
cornered.
"Tou know I'm not Jim," she re
proachfully replied. "Only -"
"Only what?"
He pressed her hand encouragingly,
and with that pressure ber fa-
cleared.
"Only nothing," she laughed up at
him.
Ho bent far across the desk to kiss
her, brushing aside a neglected volume
do petrography that fell with a regret
ful thud to the floor.
"But it is a risky thing," she adled
"Was," not 'Is.'" Jim stoutly cor
rected. "I can make It all right now
in fifteen minutes, and there Is only
sue thing In the whole day that I am
going to regret"
"What's thai?" she asked with
puckered brow.
"That It has all probably
polled by having to alt out
tadlum and watch Yale win. "
"But you forgot that I'm a Yale
firl."
"Impossible," he declared,

iround the table and caught her In his
irms "your cheeks are crimson."

"I should think they would be now,"
the pouted. "But then I wish you
were playing this year."
"Because?"
"Because then Harvard would win." ,
"Hurrah for the Yale girl! 1 didn't ',
do such wonders last year. But this
Is a conversion with a vengeance. '
Would you really rather have us win j

"That's not a fair question. And !
had evidently been moving faster than
was hla wont and he puffed loudly as
he sank Into chair dirtily facing
the still swaying curtains.
'I got your wire at my hotel, no
said.
"Wheu?" asked James In a painful
effort to gain tkne.
The elder Ferris pulled out a great
gold watch.
"Sixteen minutes ago," he replied
"Why do you ask? Didn't you expect
me?'
"Nothat Is
"Why, what else did you think I'd
do!" ,
"Oh, of course, i expected you, fa
ther, and, of course. I'm awfully glal
you've come. Oh, I'm delighted to see
you! Hut I the fact Is, 1 didn't ex
pect you quite so soon; not Just Quite
so soon, you see.
"Well. I came to this town
earlier than I expected, and now I'm
ready to hear what you've got to say
for yourself."
He settled back In hla chair, look

WHY SO MANY DIVORCESf
T 113 Wen shown that marriages are
many and that they Increase In propor

no such percentage of increase In population If to h.
total of divorces were added th great number of mat

A woman of good social position who recently se
cured a divorce did not hesitate to sav that most men
were Inconstimt. that they had little Interest In their
home, and that they were etly hired by men and
women to tie habits of life. Men who have com

You pok with soulful tendern
Of lfy bower.
You called her your divinity,
Your heart's delr;
You looked Into Infinity
And Drummed lovs' lyre.

Whn you would sy
Kor hr you'd work untiring to
Your ltt day,
Hh should not oll her dainty hand
Nor bav a car.
You would fulfill her lut demand
With promptness rare.
