When the debates and the verdicts
were concluded, the orator appeared,
and Fred's compassion extended itself
so far that he even refrained from
looking inquisitively at the boy in the
seat next to his; but he made one side
of a wager, mentally—that if Ramsey
had consented to be thoroughly con
fidential just then, he would have con
fessed to feeling kind o' funny.
Dora was charmingly dressed, and
she was pale; but those notable eye
lashes of hers were oil the more no
table against her pallor. And as she
with fire, it was natural that
her color should come back quite flam
tngly and that her eyes should flash In
shelter of the lashes. "The Christian
Spirit and Internationalism" was her
subject, yet she showed no meek sam
ple of a Christian Spirit herself when
she came to attacking war-makers
generally, as well as all those "half
developed tribesmen" and "victims of
herd instinct" who believed that war
might ever be justified under any cir
cumstances of atrocity. She was elo
quent truly, and a picture of grace
and girlish dignity, even when she
was most vigorous. Nothing could
have been more militant than her de
nunciation of militancy.
"She's an actual wonder," Fred
said, when the two had got back to
Mrs. Meigs' afterward. "Don't you
look at mo like that; I'm talkln' about
her as a public character, and there's
nothin' personal about it. You let me
aJone."

Ramsey was not clear as to his
duty. "Well—"
"If any person makes a public
speech," Fred protested, "I got a per
fect right to discuss 'em, no matter
what you think of 'em" —and he added
hastily—"or don't think of 'em I"
"Look here —"
"Good heavens!" Fred exclaimed.
"You aren't expecting to interfere
with me if I say anything about that
little fat \Verder girl that argued for
Germany, are you? Or any of the
other speakers? I got a right to talk
about 'em just as public speakers,
haven't I? Well, what I say is: Dora
"Well, What I Say Is: Dora Yocum,
as an Orator, Is Just an Actual Per
fect Wonder. Got Any Objections?"
Yocum as an orator is just an actual
perfect wonder. Got any objections?"
"All right then." Fred settled him
self upon the window seat with a pipe,
and proceeded, "There's something
rfbout her, when she stands there, she
stands so straight and knows just what
she's up to, and everything, why,
(here's something about her makes the
cold chills go down your spine—l
mean my spine, not yours particular
ly ! You sit down—l mean anybody's
spine, doggone it!" And as Ramsey
Increased the manifestations of his
suspicions, lifting a tennis racket over
the prostrate figure, "Oh, murder,"
Fred said, resignedly. "All right, we'll
change the subject. That fat little
Werder cutie made out a pretty good
ease for Germany, didn't she?"
Ramsey disposed himself in an easy
chair with his feet upon. the table,
and presently chuckled. "You remem
ber the time I had the fuss with Wes
ley Bender, back in the ole school
days?"
"Yep."
"All the flubdub this Werder girl got
off tonight puts me in mind of the
way I talked that day. I can remem
ber it as well as anything I Wesley
kept yelpin' that whoever mentioned
a lady's name in a public place was a
pup, arid of course I didn't want to

"N-no."
hit him for that; a boy's got a reg'lar
instinct for tryin' to make out he's
on the right side in a scrap, and he'll
always try to do something, or say
something, or he'll get the other boy
to say something, to make it look as
if the other boy was in the wrong and
began the trouble. So I told poor ole
Wes that my father spoke my moth
er's name in a public place whenever
he wanted to, and I dared him to say
my father was a pup. And all so on.
A boy startin' up a scrap, why, half
the time he'll drag in his father and
mother if there's any chance to do it.
H•=•']! fix up some way so he can say,
'Well, that's just the same as if you
called my father and mother a fool,'
or something iike that. Then, after
ward, he can claim he was scrappin'
because he had to defend his father
and mother, and of course he'll more
than half believe it himself.
"Well, you take a government—lt's
only Just some men, the way I see it,
and if they're goin' to start some big
trouble like this war, why, of course
they'll play just about that same old
boy trick, because it's instinct to do It,
just the same for a man as it is for a
boy—or else the principle's just the
same, or something. Well, anyhow, it
you want to know who started a scrap
and worked it up, you got to forget all
the talk there is about it, and all what
each side says, and just look at two
things: Who was fixed for it first, or
thought they were, and who hit first?
When you get the answer to those two
questions everything's settled about
this being 'attacked' business. As noar
as I can make out, this war began
with Germany and Austria's startin'
to w!p} out two little countries; Aus
tria began shootin' up Serbia, and
Germany began shootin' up BHgiuni.
I don't heed to notice any more than
that, myself- all the girls In the coun
try can debate their heads off, they
can't change what happened and they
can't excuse It, either."
He was silent, appearing to feel that
he had concluded conclusively, and the
young gentleman on the window seat,
after staring at him for several mo
ments of genuine thoughtfulness, was
gracious enough to observe, "Well, old
Ram, you may be a little slow in class,
but when you think things out with
yourself you do show signs of some
thing pretty near like
sometimes. Why don't you ever say
anything like that to —to some of
your pacifist friends?"
"What do you mean? Who yon
talkin' about? Whose 'pacifist
friends'?"
"See, here!" Fred exclaimed, as
Ramsey seemed about to rise. "You
keep sitting just where you are, and
don't look at me out of the side of
your eye like that —pretendln' you're a
bad horse. I'm really serious now, and
you listen to me. I don't think argufy
ing and debating like that little Frau
leln Werder's does much harm. She's
a right nifty young rolypoly, by the
way, though you didn't notice, of
course."
"Why didn't I?" Rumsey demanded,
sharply. "Why didn*t I notice?"
"Oh, nothing. But, as I was saying,
I don't think that sort of talk does
much harm: everybody knows it goes
on among the pro-Germans, and it's
all hot air, anyhow.. But I think Lin
ski's sort of talk does do harm, prob'ly
among people that don't know much;
and, what's more. T think Dora Yo
cum's does some, too. Well, you hit
Linski in the snoot, so what are you—
Sit still! My lord! You don't think
Tm askin' you to go and hit Dora, do
you? I mean: Aren't you ever goln'
to talk to her about it and tell her
what's what?"
"Oh, you go to bed!"
"No, I'm in earnest," Fred urged.
"Honestly, aren't you ever goin* to?"
"How could I do anything like that?"
Ramsey demanded 1 explosively. "I
never see her —to speak to, that Is.
I prob'ly won't happen to have an
other talk with her, or anything, all
the time we're in college."
"No," Fred admitted, "I suppose not.
Of course, if you did, then you would
give her quit§ a talking *to, Just the
way you did the other time, wouldn't
you?" But upon that, another re
sumption of physical violence put an
end to the. conversation.
CHAPTER XII.
Throughout the terra Ramsey's cal
culation of probabilities against the
happening of another interview with
Dora seemed to be well founded, but
at the beginning of the second "sem
ester" he found her to be a fellow
member of a class in biology. More
than that, this class had every week
a two-hour session in the botanical
laboratory, where the structure of
plants was studied under microscopic
dissection. The students worked in
pairs, a special family of plants being
assigned to each couple: and the In
structor selected the couples with an
eye to combinations of the quick with
the slow. D. Yocum and R. Milhol
land (the latter In a strange state of
mind and complexion) were given two
chairs, but only one desk and one mi
croscope. Their conversation wai
strictly botanical. _
