Echool this term. 19 of the 63 members
of the class being graduated from that
course.
Seventeen members of the class are
registered from the High School of
Commerce, but as that school was or
ganized after the class was they will
be graduated with the Lincoln grad
uates. After this semester each school
will graduate its own classes.
The English course and the college
preparatory course each will graduate
nine pupils, and the teaching course

GIRL LOSES MAN AND SUFFERS LONG UNTIL SHE
MEETS THE WRETCHED WOMAN WHO GOT HIM
Wooer Leaves Her After Summer of Careless Lovemaking Unhappy Years
Waves, Only to Find Another, and Hear Story That Sends Her
BY MART INEZ MARTIN.
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.

majors of five each, and domestio art
also will graduate five. The Latin
course, that used to he the most pop
ular, has but one graduate this semes
ter. The French course has one, and
three scientific majors are included in
the class.
Forty of the class are girls and 23
boys. .Not one boy is among the mem
bers of the teaching course majors,
and more than half the commercial
students are girls.
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.

ning to go 'round had stopped. 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.

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.
It was of this woman the girl was

thinking one evening as she stood on
the veranda watching the new arrivals
come in; she stood and watched them
idly from orce of habit, not because it
made any difference to har who came
or went. 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. Ira
placable fate would she be appeasing
by dragging out a long, broken, useless
life?
Girl Offers Help.
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.
But when she reached the cove under
the cliff where the water was deep she

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

of moonlight before she crouched back
under the cliff.
"Can't I help you?" burst instinctive

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

A morning sweetness Alls the world.
And incense of the risen dew
Moves through the realm of shimmer

And all the sun-kist air Is new.
The spell of youth Is on the earth.
Forgotten are the hoary things:
With Jocund voice and lays of mirth
The spirit of the whole world sings.
The spell of Summer In the land
Is like a spell of morning sweet
Love gives to lire her delicate hand.
And pipers play for dancing feet.
Such antlo grace Is in the day.
Such flooding of the hearts of men
With Attic hymn and faery lay
As If 'twere Eden-time again.
The Summer clouds are white as fleece.
And floating softly south they seem
Like galleons out of ancient Greece
Bound for the golden Isles of dream.
Care falls from off the troubled heart,
.The calm and morning world Is ours.
Our life, our hope, our cheer a part
Of silver sun. and bloom-srirt bowers.
