McMURRAY General Passenger Agent, PORTLAND, OR. Violets on the Left Shoulder Dy F. A. MITCMEL Copyright by American I'rcss Asso ciation, 1911. In New England are two colleges lu close proximity. In ono young men uro educated, In tho oilier young glrlH. Ono day Edwin Langdon, a senior In tho man's college, wan strolling on a road not far from the women's Insti tution when ho saw a black spot above him. Ho watched It sink gradually till it appeared as a paper balloon rooking In tho air and fell not a hundred yards from him. Oolng to where It lay. he took It up nnd noticed that to the cross wires holding a Hponge that had ben wtturated with alcohol hung a piece of pasteboard on which was written In a feminine hand: I contain a secret. "Yes," Bald Langdon to himself, "and Judging by your handwriting the se cret Is not to ho kept. Koine under graduate of the women's college has Kent you off for the purpose of telling her secret." The student carefully examined the balloon In every part, but the secret was not found. Thinking It might lie under the pasted seams, he took It to his room and moistened nnd opened them. Ho was not rewarded for his pains. "I havo It." ho exclaimed sudden ly. "Some girl has written the secret with a tluld that requires a chemical agent to bring It out I'll take It to the laboratory and apply tests." Ho did so and succeeded. I5y soaking the pa per successively In several different acids he at last found one that brought out letters containing a message. you aro warm, but you haven't got mo yet. If you do a kiss The writing stopped abruptly. "Oho!" said Langdon Inwardly. "So I'm warm, am IV That means that I'm on the right track. And a l;lss Is to be my reward If 1 get your secret Only you didn't like to call kissing you a reward. Any man who wouldn't under such circumstances exercise all his wits to reach the goal la no man nt all." Ned Langdon tried all the chemical ngents he could think of to bring out another message, but they failed, lie puzzled over tho matter for a week, then temporarily gave It up that Is. as to investigation. He continued to think about It pretty much all the time. Ono evening ho was holding the bal loon close to a gas jet examining tbe paper with a magnifying glass, turn ing successively different parts to the Jet, when on the paper, very near the llanic. out came brown letters. They were too faint to be read, but Langdon knew lie had got tho secret-that is, If there was no more of the problem to be solved. Heat was the element required to bring out the writing. Holding tho paper very close to the burning gas, n message in deep brown letters appeared: Junior prom. Violets on left shoulder. "Well, upon my word!" exclaimed Ned. "That's a round about way of making the acquaintance of n stranger. And to think that I didn't get on to the heat explanation. That message was probably written in common lem on Juice. But the "Junior prom." comes off next week, lu four days more I would have been too late." That ended Langdon's studies till the , "Junior prom." had taken place. He bad no thought but for the girl who bad sent the paper balloon. So sho would be known nt the function by violets on her left Bhoulder! And what must have been the feel ings of that girl as the evening in question approached? There were few chances of the balloon falling Into the hands of one she would care to meet And if It did, would lie have tho in genuity to extract the secret? "I'll bother that girl." mused Lang don. "by pretending not to recognize tho token." no entered the hall late purposely and stood in tho background till ho saw a girl pass with a bunch or vio lets on her shoulder. She was as pret ty as a peach. He was enraptured. Langdon showed himself In the com pany of different girls for half nn hour, then secured an Introduction to the girl of tho secret, protending not to notice her violets. Ho made him self agreeable, however Indeed, paid her marked attention. After having been with her for some time ho gal lantly asked for a souvenir, looking wistfully at the violets. Tho girl did not tako the hint. There wits a gallery nt one end of the hall, used during religious services for tho choir. Langdon Invited the girl to go up there with htm. She ac cepted, and they sat back whore they would not bo seen. Beneath theih was that mingling of voices common at so clnl gatherings resembling tho running of waters. Suddenly every voice stopped at tho Bound of a inullled Hliriek. Fortunate ly Bound has no direction for the ear. "Some girl lins been kissed." re marked numerous undergraduates. Tho professors looked shocked. Tho hero and heroine or this story havo long been married, and their sons and daughters ate now lilting for college. The mother dreads to send her daughters where she cannot overlook them. When she talks this wav her husband replies: "VIII you kindly tell me. my dear, what avail It Is to watch a girl? They say that 'lovo laughs at locksmiths, but I once knew a girl who got a litis band bv sending up n paper balloon Willi a se'ret In It so concealed t lint - "Oh. heavenHi Shall I never hear the last of that freak?"
