the jndsons for mr terruld orrlu sat where it was most convenient for the professor to talk with him at his own right and mr orelgs elder sister for this sister who in the event that mr orelg re ceived the appointment would be the 1 of his household had come with him snt at mr judsons left grand father nnd grandmother judson had their usual places on the ether side of the table and hndney judson profes sor judsonn eldest son who had but recently gradunted from rlrompten sat between the young aspirant and bis sister so there were a good many dishes for one small pair of handa to wash unaided and a good muny pots and pnns had bad to be used in prepara tion for the meal and in mrs judsons household no pots nnd pons however stubbornly they had resisted the first nhlutlons wero over left to soak till the next dny so ursula was sllll at her work when tho clock on tho kitchen shelf pointed to nine oclock she heard a creaking sound toward i ho hack atalrs nnd wished that the light of the soli tary oil lamp shed a more farreach ing glow then a door distinctly open ed yes it was tho back stalra door and a mans figure that waa neither that of professorjudson nor his son came out of the shadow it wns the young eastern professor and he stepped toward ursula with a de gree of embarrassment that was not in iry good keeping with tho appearance of perfect selfpossession and poise that he had shown at dinner i just thought maybe yon would give mo a glass of water he began as ursula leveled her eyes at him la unfeigned surprise mrs judson i miebs forgot to put any in ray room nnd i didnt want to bother any of the people oimtnlrs he fabricated and then more truthfully these country bollege folks certainly go to bed with the chickens they usually drink the spigot wa ter ursula commented with a voice that innrked no inflection even from the shadow in which mr orelg was atnndlng she could sec that he was wc ng her wilh an interest that was mil tlrely necessary she moved toward tho tray where stood n nout urrny of perfectly shin ing glasses ontl took one too bnd to havo to use a clean ono objected the professor i re member when wo were youngsters the cook at home used to make us drink out of a tin cup hated to have te polish extra tumblers you know ursula made no comment filled glass and handed it to tho intruder but then that cook was very cross- said the man trying to make his voice aouhd perfectly selfpos sessed but not succeeding and tola cook isnt cross is she still ursula made no comment jerrold grelg drank the water for which ho had no hirst and then watched ursula intently as she con tinued her tnslc nt i ho sink r used lit help the cook of ours dry dishes he prevaricated iind i dont nee why i shouldnt help you every one has gone in bed nnii i utu supposed to bo in ray room no one will know ho nnd taken n towel from the rack arid had hegpn to dry one of the pans that ursula had just washed do you know he ventured encouraged be en use

there was n silence broken orilyby tire sptashrhg of the water in ursulas dfahpan and ursulas deep blue eyesns she washed pots and pnna with her unwelcome assistant at her side penetrated deep through the dish water into tho region of brown study beyond a penny for your thoughts was the way tho young professor broke tbe si lence i was wondering whether you knew anything about the girls in the college out here tou know it is a co-eduea- tlonnl place im not especially anxious to meet them sighed grelg a man doesnt care much for that sort of girl brains dont county for much in women not half so much as a protty face ilka yours he was looking intently at ursula who for one fleeting second was tempted to rub tho selfsatlsfled smile from his face with one swoop of her soapy dish cloth instead she looked at the kitchen clock the hands point ed to a quarter after nine she knew rodney would be back from his call on tbe college president in a few min utes and until that time she could manage fheproressoreieci alone she assumed a yielding smile of co quetry oh some of the girls arent so bad looking she said some of the poor farmers daughters take places in the professors families in return for working three or four hours a dny they get their board and keep and they eat with the families all ex cept when there is extro company they call them student helps for a moment the young man looked alarmed tou dont happen to be one of those girls he asked hurriedly to flirt with a girl who might later be a student in one of bis classes and who possessed the dignity or being ft can didate for n college degree waa quite another thing from passing a few oth erwise dull moments with a forlorn lit tle kitchen mold whose youthful charms happened to take his fancy i dont look it do i asked ursuln in a way that dlspellod the instruct ors anxieties of course you dont he assured ber when i get this job out here tn the fall im going to manage somehow to see more of you perhaps my sis ter will get you to work for us in stead of tbe judsons no one need know that i arranged it and some how we can manage to have a few good times together i see you arent going to be cross with me are you then you are really going to get the appointment ursula asked with feigned enthusiasm over the prospect surely did you hear me pulling the wool over the old mans eyes i- did manage to make a good impres sion even if you you little beauty were doing your best to rattle me the only person standing in the way of me i understand was that son of the pro fessors rodney judson and of course he wouldnt stand any abow against me even with his own father young mr orleg bad abandoned the task of nsslstanlaodjltood very close to the girls side whero ho could see every gradation in the coral tints that came and went tn her cheeks under his gaze goodnight mr grieg she ssid as she heard the first footfall ot rod ney judson outside you wont send me away without n better goodnlgbt than that that was what the young instructor intend ed to say but he never said it for before he could say moro than two syl lables itodney judson stoodbefore him in the kitchen ho made a badly cal culated step toward the back stairs dont hurry nwny said ursula very sweetly turning to the profes sors son who was in the kitchen by this time rodney mr orleg has been down to get a glass of water mr grieg it will do no harm to tell you that mr judson and i are engaged though as yet we havo not told even rodneys parents i am sure we can depend on your confidence i was just telling mr grieg about our system of student helps and i was going lo explnln to him that if it were not for that system i would never have had u chance of coming to college or of meet ing you itodney splendid idea stammered mr grieg by nil means you enn trust lao and then seizing the empty tum bler ho hurried up tbo hack stulrs good news said uridnoy when they wero alone the president dl- clded against grieg when be saw him this afternoon wouldnt glvo his roll- sons and he called me over tonight to tell me he would give me the up pointment instead too bad for poo grieg but it moans we wont huve to wait many months more of course theyll pay orloge expensos out here but im sorry for him he dldut seem like a bad sort did you think so i dont believe ho would ever have fitted in horo nt broinpton ursula cnimuentad lie wasnt
