THE girl had reached the meeting point of brook and river with restive feet. Impatient to be off and into tne fray of life. Was she, in turn, to become like her mother asth matic and stout, she wondered a long black veil and a pretty daughter all that were left of her romantic girl hood dreams? She shoped not. Oh, for her fling now quick, she longed. Then had come that memorable dance at the Country Club and the tall man with the bright, restless eyes. That was the beginning. This is usually the beginnings the haphazard, acci dental beginning of the long life-story that is to follow. " "Tia love, "tis love, 'tis love that makes the world go round," proclaimed the orchestra in two-step time, as if divining the girl's thoughts as round and round they cir cled in time with this new and original discovery as to the rotary motion of the earth. And all night long, after the music had stopped and the lights were out, she listened to the echo of the waves singing " 'Tis love, 'tis love " for her own little world had now begun to spin 'round, too.

Twenty-four of the class intend to go to college, either this semester or In September. Nine will go to Oregon Agricultural College, the University of hind the clematis the girl studied the faces of the women around her. Why did they not express more happiness, she wondered, why were so many faces written close and fine with hiero glyphs of cynicism, hypocrisy, disap pointment when the world was so full of sweetness and beauty? She was too young to know it is this same motive power that makes everybody's world go 'round, but that sometimes they spin too fast and cause friction and jars, and sometimes something wears down or snaps and they cease to go at all, and it is the countenance that registers their rate. So the p-'rl with a blind faith went on living in her fool's paradise. This man had told her he loved her over and over, what more had life to offer? Then one bright morning he came to her and said: "I am going away to morrow. Shall you miss me a little I shall miss you desperately." She was very sweet, this little tenderling and he meant Just that. "Do you really care?" he continued. "Of course I care," she answered promptly, looking straight into his eyes, heart and soul telling him just to how great an extent she did care. The man drew back quickly.

"Hello, Jack.;' one of the men called, "come along:" Then seeing the girl sitting in the shadow added. Oh, par don me, am I interrupting a balcony scene?" "Oh, no," the girl heard a strange, hard little voice saying she had never heard before and did not recognize as her own. The next day he was gone. She did not die of humiliation and heart-break because she could not. he was young and strong and she had to live. That was the worst of it. Things Go On as Before.

So no onj ever suspected this sweet, fresh little bud was withered and dead at the heart. There were other men. of course, belter men, but to her there was Just this one man in all the great wide world. The part of her that had loved and loved and enjoyed was dead, but the part that suffered lived on. People cal.ed her a lucky girl. Other girls who had less beauty and notice and money envied her, and she, seeing the little housemaid loving and marrying the stable-boy envied her. As each Summer dragged itself around all the old horrors of the same old scenes had to be endured again the same gay hotel with the clematis shaded nook sacred to so many bitter memories, the same murmuring of the ocean that mocked her with its same old cadence, " "Tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go "round." Happy girls still danced gaily and smiled up into the eyes of their lovers or talked In corners of the verandah as she had dor.e a thousand years ago. The older women still gossiped and read the days away disillusioned, careworn and soured for the most part they were much the same as they had always been and always will be, but the girl had not been able to look deep enough before to see what courage it takes to go on living after the wheels have stopped and only a dead cold thing is left In place of the mad. sweet ex istence they had thought life was to be. Girl Meets Woman. one woman who There was one woman who never Joined the groups or gossiped with the others. She was young still and might have been pretty but that her mouth was puckered and strained from the bitterness of her apples of Sodom, her eyes dull and listless, as If tired of looking out upon a world that held so much suffering, and every line of her face drooped downward, as If every hope had sloughed off externally, leav ing nothing but bitterness and disillu sionment behind. Something in the utter frankness of this woman's wretchedness drew the girl, for she envied her the right to be sincere at any cost, and as they both shunned the gay and sparkling life around them, they sometimes met in unfrequented places. But if they talked it was little and not of what they thought.

And when a tall man with bright, ' restless eyes sprang up the steps, she did not even start or turn any whiter. She was so used to play ing her part that she merely slipped back into the shadows more numb than ever and waited for a chance to slip away. This, after all, seemed the natural thing. A climax was bound to come some time, and she had gone on this way an eternity already, so this, she resolved, must be the end of It all. Why not? Why keep, up the farce of living any longer? When she found her chanoe to slip away unnoticed she turned and walked resolutely toward the water. And suddenly she realized that she had known all the time these deep, calm depths were to be her ulti mate end. She had paid life's toll of suffering to the full, what grim.

The tall man had the same youthful spring in bis step, his eyes were bright er and more restless than on that day when she had first looked into them. Had he suffered, or had he gone un scathed, she wondered. At any rate, she could stand this life not another day longer, she was arguing with herself as she walked swiftly on toward the water, and her secret should die with her.

She must have made her escape Just before the girl had fled, or perhaps even before the train arrived. The ghost of every dead hope and heartbreak in the world semeed. epitomized in the hunted, hope less face the girl saw in one clear flash of moonlight before she crouched back under the cliff. "Can't I help you?" burst instinctive ly from the girl's heart, her own trou ble for the moment forgotten. "No," the woman answered wearily, turning away from the approach of hu man sympathy. But "I have suffered so deeply, too. you know," the girl continued. "Just let me try to help a little." The appeal of the girl's voice made her turn again with a feeling of a common cause between them. "No," she repeated, "nobody can help me, but I may be able to help you, for whatever your trouble may be, it must seem light compared with the burdens of my life." Drawing nearer on the sand, the girl sat down. She would get this poor, tortured soul to talking if she could. An outpouring of her grief would be an outlet and solace and she would be glad to do Just one last kind act for somebody before and. anyway, there was no hurry. Woman Telia Her Story. The girl listened quietly, sitting white and still, shivering, although the night was warm. The gentle moaning of the waters grew as she talked, 'til. gathering strength, they broke occa sionally into a loud, wild sobbing or arose in their rage and threw them selves In bifter protest against the cliffs, only to be beaten back by the cold, merciless .rock, broken and life less, to subside into a piteous moan.

As she passed a young couple whispering soft ly In a ciematis-covered nook she laughed Inwardly at an old memory. "And 1 thouiiht I was suffering and wretched all these wasted years," she was saying to herself, "because he waa lost to me. But these years have been ' one long reign of Joy and gladness compared with the bitter, blighting experience of the woman who got him." The Mornlnar Sweetaeii. A morning sweetness Alls the world.
