To the girl she liked she brought , he sent it by rrudence to IMeb-Chase,
unlimited towels, while some less
favored maiden might languish with
two a week, and now in providing
Betty Belle with materials for a mid
night spread rrudence showed evi
dence of high regard.
Betty Belle was from the south,
hence her name. There had been two
aunts beloved by her mother, and the
little girl had been called after them
always. Betty Belle wondered why j
the northern girls thought it funny.
Well, we don t string ours together j
that way, as a rule." Drusllla Davis
told her. "And I don't believe we
place such value on names. But you j
are a dear, Betty Belle, only you are
different"
"How different?" Betty Belle ques
tioned, and Drusllla laughed:
"Oh, you are so old fashioned and
pretty and serious."
Betty Belle blushed. "You are pretty,
too, Drusllla."
Drusllla Bhook her head. "Not In the
fascinating way that yon are, Betty
Belle" j
Ttte scholar of the summer school
ate at an adjoining boarding house,
and at the lunch table that day Betty
Belle told about the chicken sand
wiches and the cocoanut cake.
There were four men at the table
besides the girls. As Betty Belle de
scribed the dellciousness the men
groaned envioosly.
"And we don't come in for any of
that?" asked Dick Chase, who had
flunked in his studies the winter be
fore and was making up during the

nnderstand why he. needed to grind 1
over books.
"No." Betty Belle told him; "no men
are allowed above the first floor of our
dormitory."
"Well, we will serenade you while
you are eating it," Dick said.
"Please don't," Betty begged.
His attentions had always been sought
rather than refused, and he had meant
that Betty Belle should appreciate the
high honor he was conferring. !
"It's against the rules." Betty Belle '
,
"I shouldn't think you would mlnd !
a little thing like that."
"I don't," said Betty Belle, "but you
can't afford to lose any standing."
lie flushed. "You needn't hit a fel
low when he's down. I, don't care
whether I get through next year or
not." ;
"Well. I do," said little Betty Belle, j
"You told me about your mother, and !
I don't think you ought to disappoint
her."
Dick's eyes dropped before the clear
ones of the little southern girl.
"I shouldn't like to disappoint her,"
b murmured.
'' But that night as six girls in all the
comfort of dainty kimonos and dress-;
ing sacks ate cocoanut cake and chick-
en sandwiches with ginger ale accom-
patilment there floated up-through the
air the strains of "Dixie."
"There," said Drusllla Davis; "that is
In your honor, Betty Belle."
Betty, pink and white and charming
to her rosy kimono, tapped a small
foot impatiently. .
"Well, I wish he wouldn't," she said.
Margaret Mills looked at her with
faised eyebrows. "Why, Betty Belle
Fairfax," she exclaimed, "he is worth
a million! Any girl would be glad to
have him pay her attention."
"I don't care if he is worth ten mil -
lions," Betty Belle returned quickly;
"he isn't a gentleman." ,
The girls looked at her, startled.
"Why. Betty Belle," one gasped, "what
makes' you say such a thing?"
'Tle Isn't" affirmed Betty Belle, with
her head held high. "The gentlemet
at my home have consideration for tlte
wishes of ladles, and I told him not to
, flng. And he has an Invalid mother
i who la Just praying for his success, and
, ho is wasting his time. It Isu't right:
It Isu't right:" And Betty Doltf clap.
IhhI both hands over her cur to shut
out the strains of "Dixie."
"Some one will tell Dick Chase what
! you said about him," Drusllla told the
email maiden after the other Klrla had
with a little note.
"I said things about you last night."
was the confession he read in her clear
cut writing. "I said you were not a
gentleman. Some one may tell you.
and I shouldn't like to have you hear
it that way. But I didn't think you
were courteous to disregard my wishes,
and I worried abont your mother. I
know you won't forgive me. but I had
to explain."
At noon on the campus Dick Chase
came up to Betty Belle.
'It was right what you said." he
told her soberly. "I've been a fearful
cad, and I needed a good Jolt"
Betty Belle sat down on a seat under
the elms. "You see, I have lots of
brothers," she confided, "and I know
how mothers feel about their boys
and, then, I couldn't bear to see you
going to the bad."
There was a little tremble in her
voice, and Dick looked up quickly. "Do
you care?" he asked eagerly.
"Yes," Betty Belle told him without
coquetry. "I think we could be good
friends if you would pull up."
Dick flung himself down on the
bench beside her. "I would have to
be more than friends, Betty Belle." he
said. "I have grown to think a lot of
you; you are so different"
"That's what Drusllla says," Betty
Belle remarker, "and I don't Just see
what you all mean." .
"Well, you are so good and true, lit
tle Betty Belle. You make a fellow
feel that life is worth while."
That night In dormitory 10 Betty
Belle made a confession.
"I am sorry that I said such things
abont Dick Chase." They were sitting
In the dark, and the other girls could
not- see her blushes. "I was in a bit
of a temper, you know."
"Southern blood?" commented Mar
garet Mills.
"Maybe," said Betty Belle.
Across the campus they could see the
lights in the men's dormitory. In one
room a crowd of boys had gathered
around a piano, and their voices floated
out in a rollicking college song. In
another room a lamp with a green
shade made a halo around a man's
bent head.
"Why, I believe Dick Chase is study
ing," said Drusllla Davis. "What is
going to happen?"
"lie is going to torn over a new
leaf," said Betty Belle demurely.
Something In her voice made the
girls ask in a chorus, "How do you
know?'
"Because I am engaged to him," said
Betty Belle.
I Shadow Sketches.
j Nature was the first artist and a
! shadow sketch was the first picture
made. She is still spreading her beau
tiful deslgus wherever a beautiful ob
ject stands In the sunlight, and we are
about to learn what she can teach us
of her method. In going along country
roads and paths have you not admired
the shadows that the flowers and all
.aceful, ,p!ants cafl ,on the. ""f7
play the outlines of the plants to even
better advantage than can be seen In
the objects themselves, because shad
ows have no perspective and no shad
ing. An easy way to arrange a vase
of flowers or of leafy twigs for draw
i ing is to study their shadow on a wall

A "Peach" of a War Story.
Humor is not associated with the
bloody days of Kentucky in Revolu- j
tlonary times. But a bit of fun of the
grewsome kind is recited by Lynn Tew 1
j Sprague in the Outing Magazine in an j
' article entitled "General Isaac Shelby. 1
! First Governor of Kentucky." The in- j
' cident follows: j
"A patriot soldier of the ntfghbor- (
j hood named Culbertson, who subse- j
quently became a captain, was at the '
t time acting as a scout to Shelby's corn- (
mand, and while gathering Informa- ;
, tion before the action he came sudden- j
' ly upon a British dragoon, far from sup-!
port, who was eating a peach. Both j
, were startled by the meeting, and the .
I Britisher swallowed the fruit, stone i
J and all, and reached for his gun. A j
shooting mutch ensued. The dragoon j
perished in the duel and was hastily '
burled by the scout in a shallow hole. I
Visiting the grave next yenr, Culbert- j
I son found a peach tree growing from
' it, and he boasted of living to enjoy
1 fruit rooted in British soil and ferti- ,
lized by his adversary. The story, we
may add, is Culbertson's very own,
, but who shall say that the patriot
army lacked constructive imagiBu-
tion?"
