Ramsey kept very few thlnga from
Fred Mitchell, and usually his confl-
«lencea were Imm ediate upon the otxw-
!<l<ui of them ; but ullowed several
weeks to elapse before sketchinjf for
his roommate the outlines of dlils ad
venture.
“One thing that w aa kind o’ funny
about It, Fred,” he said. “I didn’t
know what to call her.”
M r. M itchell, stretched ’ upon the
window seat In their “siudyf” and look
ing out over ftfe town street below
and the cam pus beyond the street, had
already thought it-ta c tfu l to uiuhiiKli
hia pmfottnd amusement by turning
' upon his side, so that his face was
toward the window and away from Ills
'•ompanlon. “ W hat did you want to
call her?” he inquired In a serious
voice. “Names?”
”No.
You know what I mean. 1
mean I had to keep calling her ‘you’ ;
>ind that gets kind of freaky when
you’re ta lk in ’ to anybody a good while
’
like that. When »he’d be lookin’ away
from me, for Instance, or down at the
river, or somewhere, and I ’d want to
start sayin’ something to her, you
know, why, I wouldn’t know how to
get started exactly, without callin’ her
something. A person doesn’t want Io

“1 don't see why you let It trouble
you." said Fred. “ From how yoü've

anything yon wanted to say to her.”
“ W hat w t t h r

baby class clear on up through the end
of high school. T h a t would ’a’ made

“W hat did you call her?" Fred
asked.
"Just nothin' at all. 1 started to call
her something or other a hundred
times, I guess, and then I'd balk. I ’d
get all ready, and kind o f make a sort
o f a sound, and then I'd have to quit.”
“ She may have thought you had a
cdld," said Fred, still keeping his hack
turned.
“I expect maybe she did— though I
don't know ; most the tim e she didn’t
seem to notice me much, kind of.”
“She didn't?”
“No. She was too upset, I guess, by
what she was thlnktn' about.”
“But I f It hadn't been for that,"
Fred suggested, “you mean she’d have
certainly puld more attention to who
was sitting on the bench w ith her?”
' ♦ “Get o u t! You know how it was.
Everybody those few days thought we
were goin’ to have w ar, and she was
just sure of 11, and It upset her. O f
! cotirse most people were a lot more
upset by what those Dutchmen did to
the Lusitania than by the idea of w a r;
and she seemed to feel as broken up as
anybody could be about the Lusitania,
but what got her the worst was the
j notion of her country w a n tin ’ to tiglit,
she said. She really was upset, too,
F re d ; there wasn't no p uttin ’ on

kept her face turned away from me—
just the same as you're doin’ now to
keep from laughin'— but honestly, she
cried like somebody at a funeral. I
felt like the darndest fool 1"
“ I'm not laughing,” said Fred, but
lie did not prove it by turning so that
Ids face could be seen. "W h a t did she
say?”
“Oh, she didn't say such an aw ful
loL She said one kind o' funny thing
though: she said she was sorry she
couldn't quite control herself, but if
anybody had to see her cry she minded
it less because It was an old school-

W h at struck me so "kind o’

“Yes,” said Fred.

“I t certainly
Isn’t when you look at It that way."
“W hat did you say when she said
that?” Fred asked.
"N othin’. I stunted to. but I sort of
balked again. W ell, we kept on sitting
there, and afte rw ld le she began to
talk again and got kind o f excited
about how no w ar could do anything
