Little Dorothy always lunched with
the family and was rather awstruck
when she heard that n real live bishop
was to be of the company; when she
found that she actually hud to sit next
to the famous man she became almost
iairalyzed.
She contemplated her plate of beef
(rationed) for a minute or two In em-
barrassed silence; then, feeling that
there must be sopie special mode of
address for so exalted a cleric, and de-
termining to have a shot at It, she
turned to the bishop and said:

Cassandra Andrews had done every-
thing she could think of. She had worn
her most becoming blouses and her
best stockings—she had spent hours
doing her hair and brushing her eye-
brows and polishing her nails, but a
whole school year had almost disposed
of Itself and the young professor of
English literature had never seemed to
notice her at all. Before and after
class he Joked and Jollied with other
girls. The vivacious Roberta Stevens
nearly always stopped at his desk for
a moment of chatter—Bertha Marvin,
the class beauty, the athletic Agnes
Burns and a dozen others were on the
friendliest terms with him, but Cas-
sandra Andrews slipped demurely Into
her seat four mornings a week, appar-
ently unnoticed.
‘They’re all crazy about him," she
thought scornfully, ns she watched the
professor’s reception before class one
morning. “Every single one of them !’’
After the professor had delivered his
lecture thnt morning, there was a gen-
eral discussion nnd he called on her
for an opinion on a certain passage.
She arose diffidently, offering her
little statement of disagreement with
the generally accepted theory. And
right there Is where the professor
tnnde his first mistake. He smiled a
tolerant, skeptical sort of smile, the
trend of which Cassandra Andrews
rnught Immediately, and she leaned
forward Impetuously and flntly contra-
dicted his comment. Then she fol-
lowed up the contradiction with a tum-
ble of words In support of her own
opinion and sat speedily down again.
The professor was surprised. “Well,"
he said, crisply. Tm glad that at
least one student In the class thinks
for herself. I was afraid you were all
sheep."
On the Instant the bell rang and the
girls arose and passed out In chatter-
ing groups, congregating In the court
outside with light-hearted banter.
“We’re all sheep but you, Andy,
dear,” sang out Edna Phray, dancing
up to Cassandra delightedly. “And you
are a blessed lamb, but you'll grow. I
never knew you had so much spunk.
Where do you keep It?”
And the two of them strolled off to-
gether. arranging to play tennis In the
late afternoon. Later that day the
professor of English and his crony, the
professor of economics, sought the
courts for their regular afternoon’s
tennis bout. The English professor
patted a ball aimlessly Into the net
while his contemporary changed hia
shoes.
"Guess I’ve got a touch of spring fe-
ver,” he said, absently watching Edna
and Cassandra tightening the net three
courts over. And right there the pro-
fessor of English made his second mla-
take. “I feel," he said, “almost friv-
olous enough to suggest mixed doubles.
What do you say, Bfll?"
And Bill, the economics expert, wav-
ed his racket, and called across to
the girls: “Want to make It doubles?"
The girls drew together for an In-
stant’s consultation, and then assent-
ed, walking over to the court wher*
the two men were.
“How’ll ye pair off?" demanded Pro-
fessor Bill.
“Well,” said Edna Phray. practical-
ly, “I hate English and I love econom-
ics—and Pm very temperamental.”
The professor of economics grinned
9s the two of them moved toward the
fiber side of the net.
“But,” continued Ednn, significantly
to the professor of English, “I’m n bet-
ter tennis player than Cassandra An-
drews, even If I am a sheep.”
Whereat the professor of English
thouted with laughter.
Cassandra glanced at her stalwart
partner at those words and In her
young heart there leaped a mighty
flame, the golden points of which
I shone In her shining brown eyes. She
forgot everything but the game. She
darted about, diving across the court
nnd smashing her return drives like a
little fiend. Twice she collided with
her partner and shot him a dazzling
little glance as she flung her head back
to shake the hair out of her eyes. Time
after rime the professor of English
i shouted at her. “Good girl!” after a
particularly difficult shot, nnd her
spirit soared on the wings of the wind
| with the professor’s not far behind.
| had forgotten that she had worn
her best stockings, but they were so
i much In evidence that It was fortunate
j that she wore them, for the professor
was getting more observant every mo-
ment of the afternoon.
At the beginning of the third set
.hey were even, with a set apiece.
I Then the couple In economics settled
j lown and won four straight gnmes.
| They lost the next and then won again.
<o that the score was five to one
igainst Cassandra and the professor of
English.
^ “Easy money," Jeered Professor Bill.
“We need only one more game!”
"You can't do It," taunted the flam-
ing Cassandra. “We must win!" she
Aid eagerly to the professor of Hag-
lish. “We must—we must!"
“You'll kill yourself," he protested.
“What does It matter?” she said,
crouching to receive Professor Bill's
twisting service. “What does It mat- j
>r—If one can die winning?" And she
Sung her tired body viciously Into a
smashing stroke and rushed to the
let
And so they fought on and on win-
ning the next five games.
"One more!” she gasped breathless-
ly, nnd played on.
Five times that lost and deciding
gnme went to deuce, nnd then came the
shot—the shot thnt stood between vic-
tory and possible defeat—and she
mnde It. Lenplng high In the air she
smashed the ball In a gray streak down
the alley, and the gnme was won 1
"Gnme—set—and match! When!"
shouted the professor of English.
"Grant work, Andy, old girl 1" And he
patted his drooping little partner on
the shoulder.
The racket slipped from her ex
haunted grasp and she swayed weakly.
“We won!" she murmured, and would
have fallen If the professor hadn't put
his arm about her and led her to a
bench.
"Why, you blessed lamb, yon, Andy
Andrews," said Edna Phray, sitting
beside her and shaking her by the
shoulders. “I never knew you to play
such tennis. The lamb has turned ti-
ger-cat," she laughed up at the two
men, who stood over them.
“Don’t maul me, Eddie," protested
Cnssandra, feebly; “I’m all In,” and
then she smiled up at the professor,
her professor. "But we won, didn’t
we?"
“You won," he said.
“I didn’t, because you played aome
tennis yourself.”
The next morning she slipped Into
her seat demurely as usual. As usual,
too, there was a cluster of girls
grouped about the professor’s desk,
chattering gaily. But then, what did
she care? Hadn’t he called her "Andy,
old girl," only yesterday? And she
smiled In prim superiority. And when
the recitation was over he would have
detained her a moment, but she Ig-
nored the Intention with a fine Indiffer-
ence and passed out with the rest.
For a week she avoided him suc-
cessfully, then late one afternooa he
met her face to face on the campus,
“And what did I ever do to you?"
he demanded when she would have
spoken calmly and passed on.
"You called me ‘Andy, old girl’,"
she said grimly, "and I've hated you
ever since.”
"You’re not going to bite me. are
you, Andy, old girl?” grinned the pro-
fessor of English.
She could maintain her gravity no
longer nnd little spnrkles of gold flick-
ered In her brown eyes. ’Til try not
to," she murmured with a little laugh
agilely dodging the eager sweep of his
arm.
And then the professor threw his
dignity out of the window and started
In pursuit through the trees, catching
her right where she’d planned he
should, In a narrow and secluded path.
Then after he had kissed her, she
reached up and clutched his head be-
tween her hands, shaking It fiercely.
“And remember," she said between her
clenched teeth, “I will not be called
‘Andy, old girl.’ I won’t love you any
more If you call me that. I hate It."
“All right, yon darling Andy, old
girl," chuckled the professor.
But when he kissed her again she
only clung to him eagerly. Qneet

PUZZLED BY QUEER NAMES
Writer Find* It Hard to Understand
Why Parents “Impose Burden”
on Their Children.
What extraordinary names some
people are compelled to bear, or
choose to assume! I hesitate to call
them “Christian names," because they
aren’t Christian, very often. “Given
names” Is perhaps the better way ot
describing them. Perhaps you have
heard of the Irishman assisting at a
baptism, who, when he heard the god-
mother answer “Hazel” to the ques-
tion as to the child’s name, broke
forth: “For the love of hlven! the
whole calendar Is full of the names
of blessed female saints, and they do
be callin' the baby after a nut!"
I thought of that when I looked
through the catalogue of a girls’ col-
lege the other day, and noted these
labels: Oolde Mae, Enra, Arvllln
Kathryn, Elva, Melba, Izer, Neva, Ra-
mona, Mabelle, Vldah, Esta, Millie,
Mnyme, Mnhle, Arthetta, Lllyan, Bu-
lah, Arbita, Nannie, Ara, Jennie, Roxa,
Zurelle, Zullene, Vanja, Mote, Corenna
H was a comfort to get back to Brid-
get and Margaret! Names are not a r

consonants; they have, or should
have, significance, a historic setting, n

To Invent fantastic lnbels for pet

ings ought not to he put on thnt level.
So, misspellings of familiar names,

nified or Ignorant, now when fixed
spellings have been accepted. Can

On the train from Edmonton to Win-
nipeg the writer took a seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On hia breait he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
hit left cheek he bore a scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his conntry faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers In August,
1914, he hastened to the recruiting
office, leaving hie 320-acre farm, with
Its crop ready for harvest, a full
equipment of farm Implements, plenty
of horses, and a wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation, and loy-
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction. while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she suc-
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again In 1910, nnd when her husbund
returned In 1917 she was able to show
aome contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness of the farm
paid off, a considerable addition to the
stock, and the lund ready for a 1917
erop. This was the story told by the
soldier, nnd wasn't he a proud man I
He waa now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most suceessfnl farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For-
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
plowing, seeding, summer fallowing
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, und huve
a splendid herd of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased a new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last year Increased by 23
calves.
Miss R. M. Hillman of Keeler, Sas-
katchewan, Is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone In ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some of
the finest Percheron horses In Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less suc-
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem-
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be Just as good and successful a
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities of “running a farm,"
have been decided factors In making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm ac-
count!, reducing the grocer’s bills by
their management of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house, and,
very often, proving good advisers In
the economic management of the men
and general conduct of the farm work.
