A Special la
Fine Arts
Th "Stunner" Was a Sur
prise to the Two Students.
By JANE OSBORN.
Copyright, 1909, by Associated
erary Press.
Lit-
Stanton Thorpe and his chum, Kid
Walker, were walking rapidly across
the campus, absorbed in their own im
portance. It was the first day of their
senior year. Stanton was class presi
dent, and the Kid was his right hand
man.
A tall, striking girl passed rapidly
by. Stanton was Interested at once
and not a little surprised when he saw
the girl smile back at his companion,
who pulled off his cap with unfeigned
satisfaction.
"Who's your friend, Kid?" he asked
when they were well out of hearing.
"Why, that's Marjory King. I told
you about her. She's the girl I met at
the house party last summer; made an
awful hit with the fellows there. Isn't
she a stunner, though?"
"Marjory King," mused the other
thoughtfully.
"Isn't she a stunner?" And the Kid
gave his friend a thump on the arm to
force an answer.
"Oh, she's a stunner, all right, if
that's what you want to know. Say,
she isn't a freshman, Is she?"
The Kid laughed. "Well, not exact
ly. She's registered as a special In fine
arts. I shouldn't wonder if she was
rather oldish myself."
"How old, say?" queried Stanton,
whose interest was thoroughly roused.
The Kid's voice was lowered. "Twenty-three,"
he ventured cautiously.
His companion whistled. "Well, I'm
as old as that myself." His eyes had
followed her to the other side of the
campus. "Say. Kid, she is a stunner.
Shouldn't much mind coeducation if
tbey were all like that."
The next day the two boys were
making their way from one of the en
gineering buildings to their dormitory.
"Say, Kid " said Stanton after sev
eral minutes' silence, "what's she tak
ing?" The other smiled gleefully. "She?
Ob, she's a special in tine arts, which
means anything at all, doesn't it?
Why?"
"Well, it's this way," explained Stan
ton, trying to hide an unexpected feel
ing of embarrassment. "1 was think
ing that we'd get better acquainted
and kind of gain time on the other
fellows if we were to take some work
with ber."
This plan met with his chum's entire
approval, so they turned their steps
away from the dormitory toward the
dean's office.
Their first task was to see Marjory
King's schedule, and the second was
to induce the dean to allow them to
make a change in their own course of
study. The first was easy enough, for
as class officers the boys were allow
ed to have access to the students' rec
ords. "Just want to look at a few of the
fellows' time cards." snid Stanton to
the registrar us he fumbled through
thA K'a in s laree card catalogue. He
made a few notes from the desired
card and returned to his friend, who
was seated at the table.
He spoke, in subdued tones: "Ad
vanced Italian conversation, art of
dressmaking, scientific cooking, study
of the child mind and elementary
philology. The first we aren't quali
fied for. the next two aren't open to
men, child mind 1 won't take, so it's
got to be the last."
"What Is philology, anyway?" asked
the Kid.
"Blessed If 1 know. It's one of Pro
fessor Brown's deadliest, but It's per
fectly all right "
"Well, let's take it then."
So it was that Stanton Thorpe and
iriii Walker, engineers, took up the
study of languages under the celebrat
ed Dr. Brown and-a race ui muvu
greater Importance became in a few
months the undisputed claimants to
th friendship of Marjory King.
As tlwe went on and Marjory was
mnr and more with Stanton and
the Kid and less with the other boys

but no one. not even the two lucky

"She'll hear from me about the same
time, then, and I bet you money I'll
win out."
So it was agreed between them that
Stanton should coach Marjory as be
had promised to and that as soon as
the marks of the examination were
posted the next morning he should
make his proposal, asking ber to defer
her answer until later In the day. In
the course of the morning the Kid
should make his plea, and that night
they would know their fate.
The two boys approached the Im
portant day with ever increasing ex
citement. The strain of senior exami
nations seemed as nothing compared
with the uncertainty of not knowing
iue biate or Marjory King's affections
She seemed to take a keen relish In
keeping them In suspense, and a word
of encouragement to one was always
followed by a radiant smile npon the
other.
The day at last arrived, and Kid
Walker saw his chum depart upon his
Important errand. "I don't wish you
luck, old man," he said, "but here's
my hand." And the two boys sepa
rated with a warmer feellne of frlend-
, ship for each other than they had ever
Known before.
A large crowd of students had al
ready gathered around the bulletin
board when the Kid sauntered up with
pretended indifference to see the result
of the philology examination. He
craned his neck over the crowd. That
name at the head of the list was
enough-"M. King, 99 per cent." He
felt a sudden sense of defeat. Stan
ton had coached her, and she had
come out at the head of the list. He
pushed his way aimlessly away from
the others.
Suddenly he came upon bis chum
walking slowly toward him.
"I ought '0 have known you'd win
her," said Stanton.
The Kid's happiness was tinged with
deep pity for his friend.
"Have you asked her?"
"Yes. She told me that she was
never so surprised in her life; said
she was Just about to accept some
one else. You're a lucky boy, Kid
Walker."
"How did she know that I was go
ing to propose?" stammered the Kid.
"But I'd better not keep her waiting
any longer."
He was detained by the voice of a
classmate: "Hello, Kid. Heard the
news?"
"No. What news?"
"Philology Brown's going to be mar
ried." "Is he? It's aboot time." The Kid
was not In the least Interested.
"nere they come!" called one of the
boys a few feet away, "nere's a
rousing cheer, boys. Are you ready?'
"Bro wn! Rip! Hah! Ree! King!
King! King!" came the shout of twen
ty voices.
Kid Walker was completely dazed.
He looked up to see Professor Brown
walking rapidly by. with Marjory King
smiling at his side. His eyes met
Stanton's.
"Isn't she a stunner?" asked an en
thusiastic onlooker.
Stanton smiled grimly at the Kid.
"Oh, she's a stunner, nil right, If that's
what you want to know."
Why Water Quenches Thirst.
Thirst, a word of Anglo-Saxon origin
and akin to the Latin torreo and our
torrid or parched, describes a peculiar
sensation of dryness and beat locatea
in the tongue and throat. Artificial
thirst may be produced by the pass.-ige
of a current of air over the mucous
membrane of these parts, but normal
thirst Is the consequence of a lack of
liquid In the system. The agony of ex
treme thirst Is due to the fact that all
the tissues sympathize In this distress.
It is then as a refreshing relief that
a supply of water comes to thirsting
lips, replacing what has been lost, cool
ing the parched palate and rapidly
removing the craving which has de
pressed the system. In short, water
quenches thirst Just because It supplies
what at the moment Is wanting and Is
most eagerly desired, so that Solomon
could properly compare the gift of
"cold waters to a thirsty soul" to the
advent of good news. Thirst to to
some extenr appeased by the Injection
of water into the blood or body, though
no fluid touches the part to wnicn u
sensation is referred.

The discovery of tbe gaseous na

largely through the use of the spec

Fraunhofer proved that the spec

lines," and J. W. Draper demon
strated that the spectrum of an ig
