P"! Like every other woman since Eve graced and ruled the ideal home of lordly Adam in Eden, she ‘ leoks under the bed every night/as » she retires to see,â€"â€"yes, to see if there is a man there. A few weeks ago having comp leted her .day’ 3 studies and an hour with the family- she retired to her room, and as she entered and turned on the electric light, one quick, sharp glance took everything in, and this time the would-be burglar was there, care- fully stowed away into the smallest compass possible. She saw him as distinctly as any object in the room, and at this point her emphatic qualiâ€" ties revealed themselves. She did not scream; she is not that kind of a girlâ€"~â€"the quintescenee of the family traits are focalized in her. She went about the room as usual, humming college tunes, with now and then snatches from the lyrics of Burns and the songs of Tom Moore, and made ready for the night. Of course the burglar’ s intent was to secure a lodgnient inside the dwelling and then when all were locked in sleep to do the house. Evanston has a girl, indeed has several of them, girls by the score, bright, beautiful, lovely and charmâ€" ing. But this particular one of whom we write is'eo unique in her personality that she is entitle! to be called the Evanston girl. She is the only daughter of trhard hemjed; thrifty Seotchman, with a brother two years her senior, both of whom are university students. She is of Mmmman type; thet ie,..8_ome- what new, though there is nothing hlsze in her manners gr loud igwher “‘dresé'. She rides a wheel of course, for health and pleasure but not for display. These four years she de- voted exclusively and enthusiastic‘ ally to her studies, knowing exactly what she wishes to secure from from her University couree. 'She enjoys society and life in general holding all ‘inâ€"eheck as subsidiary to her edu- cational work. She retired as usual, this Evansâ€" ton girl, placing herself so she could note all the "burglar’s movements, but her eyes closed not and her ears were never more acute. She feigned sleep and the amateur crim inal softly started from his hiding place, his face to the floor Her arms were free and every sense alert and when his head was fairly out 'fi'om under the bed, she pounced on him like an eagle seizing its prey. Her hands grasped his ears, and then she pOunded that floor with his face and nose, and the bed rail with the hack of his head. “There, you vil THE EVANSTON GIRL; THE HIGHLAND PARK NEWS. lain, try to burglarize our home, will you.” Thump, thump, thumpety- bump went his head. “Aren‘t you ashamed M yourself." Thump, thump, bump, bump went his head again. “Will you ever do so again 1’” His fruitless effortsfio escape soon brought her father and brother to the scene. The burglar was secured and properly disposed of and the Evanston girl again retired with her well balanced mind and feelings scarcely ruffled, _ snmthe next (lax was Lat’.'th9"'h83d‘ ‘he‘rrcl‘asses as though nothing had happened, and tube: self possessed spirit the most serious features of the affair were some blood stains from the burg- lar’s bleeding nose... Of course the Chicago dailies were on hand for her photo and an interview and a two column recital of the event, but she dispelled the whole set as effect- ually as she did the burglar and she prepared for her final examin- ations. .
