ETIENNE 1919, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) The stay on the farm movement car- | ried. no appeal to John Peters. Not that John disliked farm life, but his | soul craved for something bigger and better. Education to him was the mest wonderful thing in life. Graduating from the country school with the high- est marks in the county had 'been his first intimation that there were big things in store for him in the educa- tional world and he had gone to high school in the city with big aims stored up in his heart. It was In the first term he had dis- covered how different country people were from city people. Gradually it bad dawned upon him that there were little colloquialisms in his speech that | the city pupils lacked, and straightway he had set to work correcting himself. Twenty-one found John back on the farm for the vacation season, but ready to break inte university the next year. The two years he had been teaching had only made his longing for more education stronger. Up to this time John had confined his corrections in speech and deportment to himself, but apparently the teaching bug had got inte his veins, for he had not been at home many weeks before he was cor- recting every member of the family, "See here, John Peters," his father had declared, at last word out by the everlasting corrections, "if this farm | and the manners of ue that 'is on it Is too all-firingly small for your high- | toned notions, then you know what you cam do. All I can see is that education has made a dum fool of you, and the time is come when you will have to make a choice between us and it. If you are willing to settle:down here, this big farm that requires 24 hands to | work it and nets me an income some- | thing over $10,000 a year, is half yours | now and all yours when I get too old | to take an interest in it. | had better leave now." If not, you John left. It was necessary for him | to teach school seven long years more | before he had the coveted sum to com- | | plete his education, but he stuck to it | admirably. At the end of the seventh year he decided that he could manage his way through university. Every va- cation since the one that had ended in { his leaving home he had worked in the city, but now the longing for the big outdoors came ver him, Somehow | he found his way up in the lumber campe and his services were engaged as timekeeper, John had met ignorance in his day, but never such ignorance as he found among those lumberjacks. Why, he was about the only man there that | could speak a correct sentence of Eng: lish. It it-had net been for Jean his existence would have been unbearable. But in her he found a companion worth having. Seeing that Jean was the daughter of the superintendent of the camp, it is only to be expected that she was different from the others. That is why John teok such a liking to her. "Something should be done to im- prove the education of the men here," John confided te Jean one night when they were out on the lake in her canoe, "I wonder if they would attend school." "Why not try them and see?' she "I was reading a novel to- day about a sky pilot that worked won- ders in a lumber camp. "My dear girl, you don't read novels, do you?" John asked, a mingling of surprise and horror in his tone. "Why certainly," she answered in wonder. "Don't you?" . "I read nothing but the classics," he told her proudly. "You don't know what you are missing." "Oh, I don't know," she smiled, "the very name classics wearies me out here --they are so heavy, se hard to wade through." "They are wonderful," he tried to assure her, "Let me go over some of || them with you." "Please don't," she pleaded, Nevertheless, from that day John started to work out plans to make Jean acquainted with the classics. On ca- noe trips, indoors on rainy evenings, before the big camp fires when the nights were chill, he managed to make some reference to them or tell her parts of some of his favorite pleces of fine literature. Gradually Jean seemcd to fall In Une with his plans; she began te soak in what he told her of the mas ter writers. Once or twice she had quoted Shakespeare; mere than once or twice she had referred to Bacon. Indeed she was an apt pupil As the vacation season neared Its end and the changing of the leaves re- minded John that university was soon to open, & great longing came over him. It was a different longing than the old one. This time it wasn't learning he longed for. but love. Yes, in spite of the "old masters" Cupid had squeezed in his werk. They were on the lake probably fer the last time. The autumn | moon was casting glows over the water as the canoe glided to and fro among the shadows.

At the station John held her hand until the time for the train to depart arrived, - He did not think it his right to Inquire where she was going; she had not thought it necessary to teil him. "Goodby, little girl, and don't forget to study the classics," he told her. As the train shot out of sight John looked after it longingly. He had sacrificed his only chance for happi- ness at the altar of learning, for he had restrained himself from propos- Ing to Jean because it would have meant the end to his plans for 'a unl- versity course. What a fool he had been! Right there he made a resolve, and a telegram that was waiting him back at the camp decided definitely for him. "Come home, 1 need jou," and It was signed "Father." For two weeks John stayed at the | bedside of his father, without any oth- | er thought but the sick man before { him. At last the crisis was reached and | he danger passed.

He looked up eagerly. "What ~--what do you mean?' he muttered weakly. "Oh, John, are you going to make me say it, say what you started to say that night on the lake--that night that Shakespeare had to spoil it?"
