bad consented to be thoroughly con
fldentlal Just then, he would have con-
fessed to feeling kind o' funny.
Pora was charmingly dressed, and
she was pale; but those notable eye-
iushe* of her» were all the more no­
table against her pallor. And as she
spoke with Are. It was natural that
her color should come hack quite flam
Ingly and that her eyes should flash In
shelter of the lashes. "The Christian
Spirit and Internationalism" was her
subject, yet she showed no meek sam­
ple of a Christian Spirit herself when
she rim e to attacking war-makers
generally, as well as all those "half
developed tribesmen” and “victims of
herd Instinct" who believed that war
might ever be Justified under any cir­
cumstances of atrocity. She was elo­
quent truly, and a picture of gram
and girlish dignity, even when she
was most vigorous.
Nothing could
have been more militant than her de­
nunciation of militancy.
“She’s an actual wonder," Fred
said, when th e . two had got back to
Mrs. Meigs' afterward.
“Don't you
look nt me like th at; I'm talkin’ about
her as a public character, and there's
nothin’ personal about it. You let me
atone."
Ramsey was not clear as to hlv
duty. "W ell— "
" If any person makes a public
speech," Fred protested, “I got a per­
fect right to discuss 'em, no matter
what you think of ’em"—and he added
hastily— “or don’t think of 'em!”
“Look here— "
"Good heavens!” Fred exclaimed.
“You aren’t expecting to Interfere
with me if I say anything about that
little fat Werder girl that argued for
Germany, are you? Or any of the
other speakers? I got a right to talk
about 'em Just as public speakers,
haven’t I? Well, what I say Is: Dora
b o y -o r cLc the p r icji'e's Juat th-
same, or someth'ns. Welt. s»vhow if
you want to know who started a scrap
and worked tt up, you got to forget all
the talk there Is about It. and all what
ench side says, and lust look at two
things: Who was hxetl for It first or
thought they were, and who hit first?
When you get the answer to those two
questions everything's settled about
this being 'attacked* business. As near
as I can make out, this war began
with Germany and Austria's startin'
to wipe out two little countries; Aus­
tria began shootln’ np Serbia, and
Germany began shootln’ up Belgian-
■ lon t i.« d to notice any more than
rhat, myself- -all the girls In the coun­
try can debate their heads off, they
can’t change what happened atul they
can't excuse it, either.”
He was silent, appearing to feel that
he had concluded conclusively, and the
young gentleman on the window seat,
after staring at him for several mo­
ments of genuine thoughtfulness, was
gracious enough to observe, “Well, old
Ram, you may be a little slow In class,
hut when you think things out with
yourself you do show signs of some­
thing pretty near like real horse-sense
sometimes. Why don't you ever say
anything like that to—to some of
your pacifist friends?"
What do you mean? Who yon
talkin'
about?
Whose
‘pacifist
friends'?”
See, here!” Fred exclaimed, as
Rnmsey seemed about to rise. “You
keep sitting Just where yon are, and
don’t look at me out of the side of
your eye like that—pretendin' you’re a
had horse. I'm really serious now, and
you listen to me. I don't think argufy­
ing and debating like that little Frau-
letn Werder’s does much harm. She's
right nifty young rolypoly, by the
way, though you didn't notice, of
course.”
Why didn't I?" Ramsey demanded
sharply. "Why didn’t I notice?"
“Oh, nothing. But, as I was saying,
don't think that sort of talk does
much harm : everybody knows It goes
on among the pro-Germans, and It’s
all hot air, anyhow. But I think Lin-
ski's sort of talk does do harm, prob'ly
among people that don't know much;
and, what’s more, I think Dora Yo­
cum’s does some, loo. Well, you hit
Linskl In the snoot, so what are you—
Sit s till! My lord ! You don't think
Tm askin' you to go and hit Pora, do
you? I mean; Aren't you ever goln
to talk to her about It and tell her
what’s what?"
"Oh, you go to bed!”
"No, I ’m In earnest," Fred urged
"Honestly, aren't you ever goln' to?*'
“How could I do anything like that?”
Ramsey demanded explosively.
“1
never see her—to speak to, that Is.
I prob’ly won’t happen to have an
other talk with her, or anything, alt
the time we’re In college."
"No," Fred admitted, “I suppose not.
Of course. If you did, then you would
give her quite a talking to. Just the
way you did the other time, wouldn’t
you?" But upon that, another re­
sumption of physical violence put an
end to the conversation.
