along as they left the hall martha said now or the bookshop then comes dinner and we must dress for the getaoqualnted meet ing of the evening and to think you dldnt give in that crrdltl the girls were hurrying touards llu bookshop suddenly doreen stood still the light falling through the leaves overhead dappled her eager fac- und ler ashgold hair with a mosaic of light and shade martha i did not make a credit on that course the professor has for gotten that 1 did not write the theme that would have determined my stand tng- well he must have marked u any way doreen shook her head the don t dft things that ww in s unlvrrslj ex tension class how did you come to take the olass doreen explained how she had been urged to do it by her english teeclter who knew she excelled tn english you know daddy is a newspaper man in our small city and mother was a teacher i grew up with a book tn my hand and a good book my teacher had always uved in our town and knew us all he la the dick streeter whom

professor nichol sons help a credit you have lost then renounce extra work and have a good time b that tlmq the girls were st the bookshop the aubjet of the credit was not again referred to by martha

plain in tha work you hare cone over and take a look at tha lessons just ahead yon know i supplied la thai subject an last yea- so i cam be aa stern and exacting as doctor barnes himself doreen laughed gayly the lively com panionship the talk of future festivi ties and professor nicholsons praise had gone to her head she waa not going th wasta precious houra on psychology what is it doreen asked tha young man dick it la something wonderful ill not have to make an extra credit she told of her interview with professor nicholson h the light was bright enough an the veranda to show pusxled expression on streeters face you dont know the professor english literature la his hobby and he loves to ride it because you responded so wonderfully to his teaching and that because of tha reading you had done with your parenta he has used you aa a sort of an example he has forgotten that you didnt write for a credit after the course it waa an affirmative not a question doreen tossed her bead but he says i have one dick martha thinks he gave it to me because well because because you were so smart nlchol- aon might have been willing to do that but eastern states doesnt do things that way i am not sure a credit would have been granted to a high school girl there is one thing i am sure of doreen and that is you have no such credit on these books well the professor marked it on my record and gave the card his okeh act ing for the registrar ft is all right dick i am not going to bother with psychology as ill have credits innugh to finish next june pardon me for insisting doreen but know how much depends on your but marthal ton said you told aw to take it uartha was at tha top of th stairs she looked bask to aay a hoi acorn- fully oome on its dona and ita was worth it doreen aaexmded th slaps aa slowly that by th time ah waa inside tha building uamia waa halfway down tha halt their nrat morning- mis ware not on tha same floor doreen tolled up another flight or stairs awar of a sense of weariness and loss one inside tha classroom ah aat down and bant her head over a teak aat lsokint up until th teacher of th elaae was tn his place nrtunately for doreen ah waa not called upon that morning for rectta- doreen taking th una amount of work would lack a credit at oommsnee- menf yes i am to blame why dldnt you tell ma dick asked hie professor baton richard could apeak doreen aid ha did tall ma and i knew i had not written it i i am sorry she waa leaving th room when doc tor barnes held out his hand ttt her you made the amende honorable mia we drlvon i wfltnot repeat hurried through her last unpacking and into the dalncy palegreen chiffon dress that she was to wear at the gatraequalnt- ed party after dinner she and martha with a halfscore of others walked across to wynne hall where the recep tion vi to be held ii her enjoyment of the evening doreen forgot the disputed credit richard streeter appeared early in the evening and introduced doreen freely to her fellow students some or the pro fessors looked in for a brief time but among them doreen looked in vain for professor nicholson it was late in the evening when street er found an opportunity to talk to i rtauhlng then 1 11 go with you to the olflce lomortowjcall nicholson in and si e if u u is you thii k dorcon was vexed she must get her life certlflcste in june but richard did n u need to taunt her wli that a posl- tl m in the school of her home town to be scant then haw been promised her in her mothers smllntaild condition her company and her salary would help greatly at home she was sure of sradu atlng however richard roue to his feet shall we say fourthirty doreen if professor nicholson cannot sec us then ril tele phone and i she lnterurpted him impatiently x do not doubt professor nicholson s word if jou do just drop tile matter dick thank you for offering your help but i 11 not need it doreen is it right to accept a hat you know is the professor a mistake in giving ou a cedlt when ou know you did not cam it doreen too had risen the lush fad ed from her cheeks to be replaced by the pallor of anger before she could speak martha and another girl came out on the veranda to sweep he into the closing march i the next day doreen saw the teacher of the class in psychology for which she had enrolled her explanation of the matter satisfied him of course if pro fessor nicholson found an error in your credits and you do not have to take an extra class you con withdraw he said my subject would or helpful to you but sometimes it if unwise far a student to undertake more subjects than are ustmlly allowed i doreen was tempted to repeat those i words to dick a minutes reflection made her afraid that he would say pro fessor wilson thought the credit had been discovered on the school s record 1 11 just forget psychology and have a j good time she said to herself t that was easy to say as the weeks went by however doreen found the matter orten in her mind again and again she found herself thinking of richard s simple question doreen is it right 8trreter resents not having a chance to tutor vou doesnt he martha asked one cold morning in early january when i she snd doreen were on their way to class doreen was annoyed because shs found her face flushing oh lie not that and he is not exactly high brow if he ed aha made bar way out of the bidd ing far the next hour she had no recitation conscious only of a pressing need to be alone aha h attuned a mg tha path that lad from tha college grounds passing the chapel aha triad the inside door it opened under her hand and aha entered a hall that gave entrance to the auditorium at the rear doreen walked forward to the pulpit stairs dropping on her knees she mur mured a broken prayer it was marthas ntei at the word right that had shocked her into an understandtng of the situa tion after a uttletherose aat down in a pew and com with herself i am to blame fflr marthas attitude of mind carelessly aha urged me to take the credit had i refused es i slvuld have done toeaus it was not mine she would have knowr that i was notwell not a uilef ive huit her moral sense and lost dicks respect then by not taking that extra class ive lost my chance to finish here this year oh how did i ever make such a muddle or things a little later she sprang to her feet there was just one course she could follow that waa at once explain her false position to ail who were m any way concerned in it breathlug a little prayer for help she went out into the still air where snowflskes were leisurely floating eexuhward at four o clock that afternoon doreen entered tile office of the college presld ent by the telephone she had summon ed to that room both proressor nichol son and richard streeter also she had asked martha to meet her there these four were all in the room whin the entered doreen smiled crookedly help mc all of you not to make this m ctlng melodromntlc may i tell my stors at once doctor barnes turned to thi president he bowed assent at once she bigan telling first of her interview with pto- fessor nicholson i cancelled the extra class i had been allowed to join al though i i knew there could be no extra credit due me as i did not write the theme following the series of unl fverslty extension lectures i took under you professor nicholson she ended what why yes you did ynu were my star pupil that was why ou osumijd that i would have the record of those lectures here asked doctor barnes he drew the huge folio to him and after a i minutes search reported you arc right mlss myers while jour name is given as one who look the course of lectures there is no record of a thenu submitted by you that settles the matter of a credit you are to blame professor nicholson the matter was discussed for a few minutes doreen hod brought her regis tration card and a new one was made out no one spoke of the fact that myers i am not surprised that you let the matter drift if right wins in the end we may return thanks to ood that wa have won over tsmptatlon the next mlmrte ah waa out of doors with richard at her aide already ewl ught waa vetllnr th aceae in a
