"That's right.' Mollie encouraged,

Professor Craythorne stared in as

Had he been fortunate enough to n^t
as her escort upon one occasion he
would be sure to see her in

part was usually followed by cold in
difference.
After all. the professor reflected bit
terlv, what chance had he to win with
such a formidable rival as Dick Brnn^ ,
don-Dick, who was practiced In all
the pleasing arts of which he was so
woefully ignorant?
And wheu he had argued himself
into the very depths of discourage men
Professor Craythorne weut over and
proposed to Mollie She received his
avowal quietly.
"Will you mind If 1 do not answo

"Do not keep me waiting too long,
he replied, and his laugh sounded boy
ish in Its eagerness.
Mollie studied the toe or her sm.ih
boot "1 will send you a message to
morrow.' she said "You will under
stand"
Oh. that was a long tomorrow,
when the last class had been dismissed
the professor retired to his gloomy i
room In the university and sank weari
ly into a chair, his unseeing eyes gai
fng out over the green campus
"A note for yon, sir." A servant
spoke from the doorway. He turned
the ttnr envelope over and over In his
palm while his heart hammered away
painfully, and his strong Angers trem
bled as he drew forth the square white
card. He was vaguely ^nsclous of

Then he remembered -she bud sa.i
that he would understand.
-Any one in?" called a cheery voice,
and without waiting for an tnvitatlon
a young man came Into the room. John
Craytboroe looked up Impatient y.
"Goo d evening. Brandon." he said.
"Sorry to interrupt your meditations
professor." the young man begun, "but
the truth 19 I need help
"If you have been indulging in any
of vour usual pranks it will be useless
for' me to intercede for yon again
Young Brandon laughed: "This is
fr? quite a different matter." he said.
"Fact is. I want to get married \on
may have noticed the approaching
symptoms-most people nave."
John Craythorne smiled, but his
voice faltered strangely.
"Under those circumstances." he re
plied. "would it not be wiser to con
sult the young ladyV
"Oh. that part is all right" Dick an
swered confidently; "woTc been In

: she sent me to yon."
"Motile -sent jnti to me?" The
words came slowly. Joiin I'rnytborne's
face bad crown very white.
"\es I >I<K answered "Hhe said
you'd be snn? to do It for tier, yon two
nre sneh jtmat friends."
The professor laughed shortly.
"He will l?e at home tonight," Dick
remarked Insinuatingly as he turned
towa;Tt the door
When l?e was alone agnin the pro
fessor turned on the elect tie bnlb
nbove Ills mirror and pitilessly exam
ined his own tired face. He noted
with a grim smile the hard lines wTjIch
seemed to have formed about his
mouth, He was glad that MollJe was
not to be seen when he sought her
home, for the sight of her winsome
face would be m-tre than he could bear
In bis present m?>od
Her father welcomed him with his
usual cordiality. The professor stood
with frowning hrowa and briefly elat
ed his errand.
"1 come at yonr daughter's request."
he said, "hoping thnt when you realise
her future happiness Is at stake you
will not withhold your consent to her
maittagt with Ulchard Hrandon."
Then while he enlarged upon Dick's
few Tlrtito* and condoled his manj
faults the older man listened atten
tlrely.
"Tills Is n great lisnppointment f> j
roe." ho snld nt length. "and you will :
pardon r.iy hiuntncss I hurt hoped ;
(tint my daughter's choice might have !
fallen upon yourself."
John Crnythorne sighed. "I alec j
dared to hope." t?e wht quietly.
"Uofore wo dlwim the subject fur <
tber," her father continued. "I would '
like to send for Mollle '
"1 prefer not to In? |tn*nl at that j
discussion." I fie pnttwn^1 answered ,
stiffly. Then lie tun?il suddenly to I
face Mollle herself After the flrst j
startled glance he resolutely avoided
her eyes.
"Professor Croyt borne has l**n In j
tercedlng with me In yonr hetinlf. Mol i
lie." her father sahi "lie assures roe j
that young Rrnndoo will make you a
jrooil husband, though I confess I re
pret ymir Choice. Neverthol'1** your will
most always l>e mine, tny daughter.?
John Cray thorne waited In breath
less susiK'iise for Mollle'# answer.
"Professor Cm; thorue," naked a meeK
tittle voice, ' will yon kindly tell me
just why you choose to play the part
of John AldenT"
He confronted her indignantly. "Dick j
Rmndon gave me to understand that j
such was your wish." be replied.
Mollle's eyes widened, and then she {
laughed -It was an aggravating little
laugh. "1 did not expect yon would
give Pick su< h a pood character." she
said wickedly, "when you know very .
well he Bunked lust year."
A prolonged whistle sounded down
the hall at this moment, and Mollie
puckered up her lips to answer. In
stantly the object of the conference
burst Into the room.
"Hello. Mollle!" he called. "That
blundering man Just gave me your cam.
and I rushed over. What's the news?"'
Mollle extended her hand. "Dfc'kle."
she said, "will you let me see that
card? t left two of them at the unl- i
verelty today, one for Professor Cray- j
thorne and one for you. I am begin j
nlng to suspect thnt I put tbero Itite

smiling over at the pmfeusor, "thta
one was Intended for yow." Then she
read aloud:

"Toure was Just a word of sympa
thy. Dickie." she said sweetly, "writ

ther had refused his consent to your
marriage."
John Craythome took one hasty step
In her direction, then hesitated as Mol
lle's father spoke sharply. "Will, jrom
please tell me what this all meanaT"
he asked.
Mollle's eyes were dancing.
"Bettle's father thinks very highly
of Professor Cra.viln?rne'a opinion, and
that Is why I suggested that be might
persuade the obstinate old man to
withdraw bis objections to Dick as a
suitor However"-she innglied over
her shoulder-"! think I have roau

"Mollle." John Cray thorne cried
eagerly, bnt she clung to her father for
a moment. Ignoring tbe call, wblle the
old ronn's face beamed with satiafac
tlon; then she pushed him gently from
her.
"Daddy." she hinted broadly, "must
you really go?"
And a long time after, while the pro
fessor and Mollle still lingered In tbe
library, she raised her glowing face to

"Tou do not deserve snch happiness."
she said. "You would have married
me off to another man."
"Dear." John Craytboroe answered
tenderly, "how dared I hope that yon
