THE MORNING ASTOltlAN, ASTORIA, OREGON,
SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1901.
As It.
Happened
By TROY ALLISON.
Copyright, 1803, by C. H. Sutcliff.
' Chesterton, first honor mar, captain
of the football team and all around fa
vorite, walked down the elm avenue
leading to the college, lost in medttal
ttn rr novor th. hi '
,, .tin oif,
beyond robbing his ears and nose oc-
casionaiiy in ine most aosenuninaea
way he seemed not to know that the
winter was getting In Its very worst
blizzard.
He kicked a piece of Ice out of bis
path viciously, all the fervor of his
heart concentrating itself in the wish
that It could have been Johnson of the
Junior class who had obstructed his
path in the same manner. The mere
thought of it caused him to walk out
of His way to find another larger and
more kfckable obstacle.
The night before at the senior prom
Esther Dillon had danced six times
with the insufferable Johnson and
"TOU SIB, I'Vl BPKXINKD MY AKKLX."
had steadfastly pleaded a full card
every time Chesterton approached her.
Chesterton didn't know what was the
matter. Her coolness had been first
perceptible on Christmas day, and the
thermometer, had dropped steadily un
til it had, he realized; reached absolute !
freezing point In his steadily grow-'
lug desire to see the image of Johnson ;
In every kickable object he finally t
overreached himself and sat down on '
the ground with a badly sprained an- j
kle.
Esther Dillon, whose father was a
teacher of mathematics and lived with
in the college grounds, on her way
home froia an afternoon's shopping
came upon him suddenly as be
was I
trying hi.s foot to see if he could man
age to hobble to the dormitory.
"You develop new traits dally, Mr.
Chesterton," she said In the politely
frigid tone sbe bad used for six weeks.
"I uerer dreamed any one could find
pleasure in sitting ou the ice covered
edge of a carriage drive. Does the ap-

preaching twilight seem more soulful
from such standpoint?"
H stood up hastily ou his one souud
foot and smiled grimly.
"Standpoint seems an Inaccuracy of
speech, Miss Esther, aud really I bare
become so acclimated to chilliness In
the last few weeks that I dldu't notice
the temperature of the pavement being
anything but normal. Perhaps you
wouldn't mind being friendly long
enough to help a fellow reach the
dormitory. You see, I've sprained my
ankle"-
Oh," she said, quickly sympathetic,
"let me run to the gymnasium and send
ome of the boys! Does It hurt much V
"Pretty bad, but I don't mind the
Wl o m I cn manage to hob-
breata to shout for one of the fellw8i
' but I would rather have you help me if
you. don't mind. I'll put my band on
your shoulder to steady myself, and 1
think I can manage' some kind of
halting gait"
The girl in her sympathy forgot the
grievance she had against him, and
with every limping step Chesterton
grew more firmly convinced that being
a cripple for life might have its com
pensatlons.
"What made you do It?" he asked
abruptly. The shoulder he was lean
lng on twitched violently.
"Do what?" she asked, with perverse
feminine ignorance.
"Preese me, ignore me, cut me, slight
me, neglect me" ,
"Perhaps if you wait until you reach
the library you might consult the dic
tionary and find a few more transitive
verbs," she suggested, with a gurgle of
amusement
Chesterton heard the note of laughter
and came down on his lame foot with
so buoyant a step that he grimaced
with pain. .
"Why did you do it Esther?" he ask
ed pleadingly.
fWhy didn't you even thank me the
tiniest little bit for the Christmas pres
ent I sent you?" she faltered.
Chesterton stopped and, balancing on
one foot faced her in unfeigned aston
ishment
"Why-my dear girl, this is the first
I have heard of it!"
"Really! Didn't you even get it?"
with a Joy that scarcely seemed an ap
propriate show of feeling for the loss
of an article that she had spent so
much time In selecting. "I'm so glad!"
she said impulsively.
He was filled with compunction for
having cherished such malicious feel
ings toward Johnson Johnson wasn't
half a bad fellow. He remembered
that he had once liked him immensely.
"That's the reason you were not nice
to me at the Chirstmas night recep
tion 7' he hazarded hopefully.
"Or course that was the reason.
When I thanked you for the roses and
you didn't say a word not even a tiny
word about tfle package I sent you-I
tnougnt tnat men were so queer,
dolefully.
"Of course I seemed a downright
brute and barbarian," berating himself
manfully. "And I went to that recep-
tion with my courage screwed to the
highest notch. I wanted to ask you If
you wouldn't miss me enough at the
end of the term to er you know this
Is my last year, Esther," he finished
awkwardly.
"Y-e-s it's your last year," she re
peated softly.
"Esther, suppose that package hadu't
gone astray-and I had let you see how
overjoyed I was to have you think to
send me anything anything on earth,
from a pale blue necktie to a white ele
phantanything on earth that you had
thought to send of your own accord,"

magnanimously, "do you think that
you would have been nice enough to
me to have given me courage to tell
you what I wanted to say?" He tried
to see her face In tho fast gathering
dnrkuess.

walk without supporting myself more."
lie put his arm across her shoulders
and then scowled to see they were
nearlng the electric light on the drive
way.
"I think It was the prettiest poster I
ever saw," she said. And Chesterton's
heart leaped when she reached up and
patted the band ou her shoulder.
"I am coming over the first minute I
can hobble with a stick and ask Pro
fessor Dillon if he wouldn't like a son-
in-law," Joyfully,"
The Innocent Mr. Johnson, who bad
been utterly condemned and afterward
pardoned, cauie near falling to his for
mer estate by appearing suddenly on
the aceue.
"Hello, old chap; anything serious?
I'll lend a hand," he said with the mis
placed cheerfulness of a life saving
hero. The girl, surrendering her charge,
hurried down a bypath to their cottage.
That nigut Chesterton, in bath robe
and slippers and absolute happiness,
put down his pipe to take the note and
the package that were handed him.
"Wasn't I stupid?" he read. "I did
this package up carefully, the first of
all my presents. I put It In the music
cabinet for safe keeping and thought I
bad mailed It. Mother found It this
afternoon. I don't know If you would
really like to hare such an absent-

ebullition of spirits and sat down Just
