',1. 1 4 MORNING ENTERPRISE. THITHSDA, JULY 27, 1911. , ' - ?J MUM TO In collevr w wera dl Tided Into food. Indifferently tooi Dl1 I rSrrt to uj that I was of tna third class bad. Tba badness In college bojt la usually bat a superfluity of health, youth and spirits, and when I look back upon my elf at that period 1 simply a boy paaslLg Into manhood. A.S soon aa 1 was graduated I sought tha freedom of the wild west Ranch ing waa my vocation and cowboys my associates. Tna only tnlnir that I can remember creditable to my self while a rancher was falling in Jots with Kleanor Warfleld. a Tlsltor at a neighboring ranch. This occur red during my first year In the west and some time before I had been transformed from the grub, youth, in to tbe superior be Inc. man. Miss War fleld returned my proffered affection and consented to be my wife, bat on eoe condition, I moat be approved by her ancle. lie was rich. and. being: a bachelor, she waa to be his heir. Nev ertheless she was aare that If she mar ried a man displeasing to htm he would leave his property elsewhere. My nance, havlnc flnlahed her vlalt. left for the east. She waa to announce star en fa cement to her uncle and cre ate aa favorable an Impression with rears rd to me an possible. Tben. the way having; been made smooth. I was to go east myself aad present myself for Inspection. Mlaa Warfleld wrote m some time after her arrival that aha had Inform ed her uncle of her engagement She waa not verhopeful In the matter, for he had asked a number of questions aa to my antecedents which she knew very well would not pleas a critical old gentlemaa who had a ever sown his Wild oata and whoa Ideas of a bus fcMd for his niaee lac lined to the cler ical prof season. What troubled Eleanor waa that he aaked at what college 1 had studied, and from my career at the university aa I had frankly given It to her aha waa quite sure he would bear mo good of me. She waa agreeably disappointed In this, however, for the faculty spoke very well of me. a clr . cumstanco which surprised mo and led an to believe that these gentlemen consider un meritorious students more aesttTnl of encomiums than those who are meritorious. At any rate. 1 have found tbetn far more lenient to my faults as a graduate than tbey were to as as a student When the time cam for my Inspec tion I wrote my fiancee, giving her the day and train on which I would ar rive. On the way I fell In with an old gentleman who waa the only person on tbe train I cared to talk to and whom I engaged In conversation. Be waa one of those men who have more sympathy with young ' people than those of their own age. He talked horse, and I waa delighted to talk horse with him. He smoked to excess and drank whenever It pleased him to do so. We hadn't been together half an hour before be brought out a flask, cigars and cards. I waa not personally averse to any one of tbe three and pre ferred them together. Having Im bibed and lighted weeds, we proceed ed to play. I found the gentleman the beat eucber player I had ever met Possibly my reason for so considering him was because before we reached oar destination be had taken out of me all the money I had brought with me for expenses. "Well," I said. Tin cleaned out" "Come to my bank tomorrow morn ing," he said, "and I'll cash a draft for you." Blnce I needed money from the start the first thing I did after my arrival was to call at the old gentleman's bank. I found him a very different person there from the man with whom I had traveled. He waa dignity itself. He cashed my draft without the slight est reference to tbe manner In which we bad whlled away the time on the train, asked a few civil questions and dismissed ma with the remark that this was his busy day. . I felt a trifle groggy, and I feared I looked groggy. Therefore I took s long nap. deferring my call on my fiancee till evening. I was anxious t see Eleanor, but I feared to present a dissipated appearance to ber uncle. At 4 o'clock I took a Turkish bath, dined, and at 8, quite freshened. I rang the doorbell at tbe Warflelds. Eleanor received me lovingly, of course, and told mo that the account the profes sors had given of me st college had made her quite hopefuL After chat ting for some time she led me into the library to be Inspected. An old gentle man rose from an easy cbalr, and well, I was appalled. He was my fellow traveler. Ha told me to alt down. Tben be aid that Instead of making the In spection of me In his home he bad gone west for the purpose of seeing what I really was by taking me off my guard. Ha waa very well satisfied with ma and considered me a much hotter man than I bad been represent ed by tbe professors under whom I had atudled. "or. rather, had not stud ied," he added. "What did they say of me V I asked. "The reputation yon left at college waa far better than the one I left my self. I don't belong to a studious fam ily myself, and I donbt If you do.
