It had plotures, of green and garden-walls in France, yawn which she patted down her finger tips as delicately as a cat. She dipped into the book, lounging on her window-seat, with her stim, knees up under her chin. She strok- ed a, satin pillows while she read. About her was the clothy exuberance .of a Blodgett College room: cretonne-~ covered window seat, photographs of girls, a carbon print of the Coliseum, a chafing dish, and a dezen pillows embroidered or beaded or pyrograph- ed. Shockingly out of. place was a mintature of the Dancing Bacchante. It was the only trace of Carol in the room. She had inherited the rest from the generations of girl students. It was as a part of all this common- placeness that she regarded the treatise on village improvement. But she suddenly stopped fidgeting. Soe strode into the book. She had fled half-way through it before the three o'clock bell called her to the clags in English history. - She sighed, 'That's what I'll do af- ter college! 1'lll get my hands on one of these prajrie towns and make it beautiful. Be an inspiration. I sup- pose I'd better become a teacner | then, but--I won't be that kind of a | teacher. I won't drone. Why should | they have all the garden suburbs on Long Island? 'Nobody has done any- thing with the ugly towns here in the northwest except hold: revivals and [build libraries to contain the Elsie books. I'll make 'em put in awviBlaga green, and darling cotages . and a quaint Main street!" Thus she triumphed through the ontest between a dreary teacher and unwilling children of twenty, wom by the teacher because his opponents had to answer his questions, whilo their treacherous queries 'he could counter by dumanding, "Have, you looked that up in the library? Well then, suppose you do!" The history instructor was a retir- ed minister. He was sarcastic today. He begged of sporting young Mr. Charley Holmberg, 'Now Chartes, would it interrupt you undoubtedly fascinating pursuit of' that "malevol- en' fly if I were to ask you to tell us that you do not know anything anout King John?" He spent three delightful minutes in assuring himeelf of the fact that no one remembered the date of the Magna Charter. Carol did not hear him, She was completing the roof of a half-timb- ered town hall.- She had found one man in the prairie village who did n~. appreciate her picture of winding streets and argades, but she had as- sembled the town council and drama- tioolly dofeated him. - TIT. Though she was Minnesota born, Carol was not an intimate of the prai- rie villages. Her father, the smiling and shabby, the learned and teasing- ly kind, had come from Massachus- et's and through all her childhood ne bad been a judge in Mankato, whica is not a prairie town, but in its gard- en sheltered streets and aisles of elms is white and greon New England re- born. Mankato lies between clilfs and the Minnesota river, hard by Traverse des Sioux, where "he first settlers made treaties with the In- dians and the cattle rustlers once came galloping before hell-for-leath- er posses. "As she climbed along the banks of the dark river Carol listened bo its fables about the wide land of yellow waters and bleached buffalo bones to the west; the southern levees and singing darkies and palm trees tow- ard which it was forever mysteriously gliding; and she h again "he startled bells and thick puffing of high stacked river steamers wrecked on sand reefs sixty years ago. Along the decks she saw missionaries, gam- blers in tall pot hats, and Dakota chiefs with scarlet blankets . Far off whistles at night, round the niver bend, plunking paddles reecho- ed by the pines, and a glow on black sliding waters. - Carol's family were self-sufficient in their inventive life with Christmas a rite full of surprises and tenaer- ness, and "dressing-up parties' spon- taneous and joyously absurd. The beasts in the Milford hearth mythol- ogy were not the obscene Night Ani- mals who jump out of closets and eat little girls, but beneficent and bright- eyed creatures--the tam htab, who is woolly and blue and lives in the bath- room, and runs rapidly to warm small feet; the ferruginous oil stove, who purrs end knows stories; the skitamarigg, who will play with chil- dren before brea it they spring out of bed and close the window at the very firSt line of the song about puellas which fathers sing while shav- ing. foe which was a typical Blodgett I Peevisn : NH ..

Her father retired from the ju- diciary when she was eleven, and took the family to Minneapolis. Theres he died, two years after. Her sister, a busy proper advisory soul, obder than herself, had become a stranger to ner oven when they lived in the same house' From those early brown anl silver days and from her independence of relatives Carol retained a willingness {to he different from brisk efficient book igmoring people; an instinct to observe and wonder at their bustie even when she was taking part.in it, But, she felt approvingly, as she dis- covered her career of town planning, she was now roused to being brisk and efficient herself. Iv. In a month Carot's ambition had clouded. Her hesitancy about <becom- ing a teacher had returned. She was mot, she worried strong enough «to endure the routine, and she could not picture herself standing before grin- ning children and pretending to be wise and decisive. Bu' the desired ror the creation of a beautiful town re- mained. When she encountered in ttem abcut small town women's clubs of a photograph of a straggling Main street, she was homesick for it, she felt robbed of her work. I was the advice of the profressor of English which led her to study professional library work in. a Chi- cago school. her imagination carv- ed' and colored the mew plan. She saw herself persuading children to read charming fairy tales, helping young men to find books on mechar- ics, being ever so courteoeus to vid men who were hunting for newspap- ers--the light of the library, an auth- onity on books, invited to dinners with poets and explorers, reading a paper to an association of disting- uished scholars. J Vv. . The last faculty reception before commencement. In five days they would be in the cyclone of final exam- inations. The house of the. president had massed 'With palms suggestive of polituundertaking parlors, and in the library a ten-foot room with a globe and the portraits of Whittier and Martha Washington, the student or- chestra was playing 'Carmen' and "Madame Butterfly." Carol was dizzy with niusic and the emotions of part- ing. She saw the palms as a jungle the pik shaded electric globes-as an opaline haze, and the eye-glassed tac- ulty as Olympians. She was melan- choly at sight of the mousey girls with whom she had "always intend- ed to get acquainted," and the haif dozen young men who were ready to fall in love with her. But it was Stewart Snyder whom she encouraged. Hé was so much manlier than the others; he was an even warm brown, like his new ready-made suit with its padded shoulders. She sat with him, and with two cups of coffee and a chick- en patty, upon a pile of presidential overshoes in the coat closet under she stairs, and as the thin music seeped in, Stewart whispered: , "I can't stand it, this breaking up after four years! The happiest years of life." She believed it. "Oh, I know! To think that in just a few days we'll be parting, and we'll never see some of the bunch again!' "Carol, you got to listen to me! You always duck when I try to talk serioudly to you, but you got to Msten to me, I'm going to be a big lawyer, maybe a judge, and I need you, and I'd protect you--" : His arm slid behind her shoulders. The insinuating music drained her "Would you take care of me?" She touched his hand. It was warm, sold. "You bet I would! We'd have, Lord, we'd have bully times in Yank- ton, where I'm going to settie--"' "But I want to do somefhing wih life." "What's better than making a comfy home and bringing up some cute kids and knowing nice homey people?" to the restless woman.

In the dialect of Blodgett Col- lege but with the voice of Sappho was Carol's answer: » "Of course. / I know. I suppose that's so. Honestly, I do love chil- dren. But there's lots of women that can do housework, but I--well, if you have gota college education, you ought to use it for the word." "I know, but yeu can use it just as well in the home. And gee, Carol, Just think of a bunch of us going out on an auto picnic, some nice spring evoniag." gi "Yes." "And sleigh riding in winter, and going fishing--" : Blarrrrrrr!

She almost gave up library work to become one of the" young women who dance in cheesecloth in the moonlight. She was iatken to a certified Studio Party, with beer, cig- arettes, bobéd hair, Jewess who sang the Internationale. It cannot be reported that Carol had anythihg significant to say to the Bo- hamians. She was awkward with them and felt ignorant and she was shocked by the free manners which sho had for years desired. But she heard and remembered discuesious of Freud, Romain Rolland, syndiecal- ism the Confederation Generale du Travail, feminism vs. heremism, Chinese lyrics, - antionalization of mines, Christian Science and fishing i Ontario. ~ : She went home, and that was tiré beginningg and end of her Bohemtan life. : (To be Continued.)

In nine cases out of ten, persistent headaches are due to poisoned blood, the blood being rendered impure through some derangement of the stomach, liver or bowels, but no mat- ter which organ is to blanie the cause .must be removed before permanent relief can be obtained. > BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS which has been on the market for the past forty-five years, removes the cause of the headache by starting the organs of elimination acting freely, and when the impurities are carried off from the system, purified blood circulates in the brain cells, and the aches and pains vanish, Miss Clara Murphy, Centre Dum- mer, Ont., writes:--"My system was greatly run down and my blood out of order. I suffered a.great deal from severe pains in my head, which madé me feel very miserable, After having tried other remedies I pur- chased a bottle of Burdock Blood Bit- ters, and was very glad to notice a decided improvement in my health. I took another bottle and it has done me an enormous amount of good. I have recommended it to some of my friends, who were in a similar condi. ticn, and they all say it is a wonderful remedy." B. B.
