He got up. took a seat on tbe other side of the car and unfolded a newspaper. It was less than an hour's ride at best, but before It was bulf over Cherub Devlne was consulting watch and time table and had again shifted his seat to tbe forward cfaair, where be could watch for tbe name boards ou the stations. Perceiving this unusual agitation of a mind normally free rrona such dis turbances, you might suspect that Mr. Devine was about to make some great venture. It was a fact. His plans, however, were somewhat vague. About the only definite part of bis program was his decision to tnrn himself out of house and home Immediately upon reaching Hewington Acres. This de tail was already prepared. The Count ess Vecchi should buy back the place at her own terms. She now bad the means, and be was well assured of her desire to do 6o. Small wonder, then, that Cberub Devlne In a brief period of time for got all about tbe revived wretchedness EVENTS AT ERSKINK. Tear Now Closing One of the Most Successful in History of the Col lege -Erskfne Students Win Hon ors in Oratory and Athletics. Correspondence of The Gazette. DUE WEST, S. C. May 8. This lias been a remarkably successful season for Ersklne College. Friends or tne college everywhere are ex tremely gratified at the showing the Institution has made. Ersklne be gan her good record by opening with a large student body In September nnd by going directly to the work of the year. The work was facilitated by the fact that text books were purchased in the summer, thereby obviating the usual delay of ten days tfor procuring texts. It was in November that Ersklne tegan to add to her list of trophies Iby defeating the fast tennis teams from the colleges of South Carolina In the inter-collegiate tourney held -on Ersklne campus. Messrs. Grier and Watson, of the Ersklne team, won the handsome silver cups given by the city of Greenville to the win ner of the annual meet. Ersklne won the cups in both singles and doubles, and this was the third time he had done the same. Later in November the same team defeated the fast tennis team from Davidson College, composed of Messrs. Mac .CJintock and Crawford. Yesterday, May the seventh, the ollege baseball team completed the most successful season Ersklne has ret bad. She played a total of six teen games, winning thirteen and losing three. 'Perhaps the most re markable feat of the past season was the winning streak against Clemson College. Ersklne took three games out of four from the Clemson team. Two of these games were played on the occasion of the State Oratorical Contest at Green wood, in the latter part of April. It was at this oratorical contest that Mr. M. G. McDonald, a son of Judge McDonald, of Winnsboro, rep resented Ersklne and took the sec ond medal in a competitory contest against the speakers of the different colleges of the State. Mr. McDonald spoke on the "Crusade Against Christianity," pointing out the dan gers that lie in the modern philoso phy which some would make take the place of true religion. Although the subject has received considera ble comment In recent years, nota bly by Mr. Bolce In his magazine ar ticles on "Blasting at the Rock of Ages," Mr. McDonald put much fresh thought and life Into his speech. Altogether, It was one of the best speeches, certainly from the standpoint of English composition, that an Ersklne man has presented at Greenwqpd. The reason Ersklne didn't win the first medal lay in the fact that another of the sons of "Hardin" took the first honor. It will be remembered that Mr. Grady Hardin, the brother of Messrs. Ed ward K., James and L. L. Hardin, la from Clover. He Is the third brother to take first honor at Green wood. Ersklne Is blessing her stars, so to speak, that there will not be another of the family at Greenwood next year, unless indeed Mr. L.

N Friday tbe countess re ceived this communication from Mr. Devlne: -Walt. Coming up tonight Impor tant" As a resn!t Hewington Acres' hum med with anticipation. What could it mean? What had happened? What was going to happen ? Eppings was certain that Mr. Devlne was bringing home some titled guest possibly a duke or a lord, and be pre pared dinner accordingly. The count ess was puzzled. Even Mr. Hewing ton emerged from his study and want ed to know why every one seemed so disturbed. "It's because of Mr. Devlne. sir, said Eppings. "He's coming up on a special train, sir. and I mnst see about the table at once, sir." Surely tbe particular frame of mind which Mr. Devine had conjured op for himself was quite worthy of a better audience than be sjava it, although be was neither serene nor filled with con fident Joy. , But be was very much alive. He bubbled, , sparkled, scintil lated. His mental faculties, never dull, were at their keenest His spirits seemed to be lashed by a veritable storm of animation, on moment soar ing to giddy heights tbe next sinking to dark depths. : - ; - Young Mr. Wallowa, who was his sols companion, , was somewhat .dis gusted with 1 this Illogical behavior. Much against his will be , had bees TBI PICTtmB WAS A LIXKNKf OOUMTBB8 V SOCHI. OF IBM dragged frohi hia'cfflcc to- accompany the Cherub just when there was much work to be dons. '- -Oh, the raOpadVbe lowedt-JflckK Lots of time to attend to that forget it- ' ' ' - . Tst now that they wart wan started of young Mr. Walloway1. A question suddenly occurring to the Cherub, be abruptly walked back to where young Mr. Walloway still sat Intently gazing- at something he held shielded in his two hands. It was nothing more than the' gold oval which be wore as a wateh fob. Dozens of times the Cherub had seen It dangling from tbe breast pocket of Nick's coat without specially remarking it Now be noted "that ft was really a locket, for It was open. Glancing carelessly over Nick's shoul der, he ssw It contained a picture, a miniature on "Tory. And tbe picture on which young Mr. Walloway , was gazing with such rapt pathos was a likeness of tbe Countess VecchL And In an Instant It was made clear to him that the woman whom Nicholas Wal loway had loved and lost and still con tinued to love was the Countess, Vec chL Fortunately Mr. Devlne had sot spo-. ken. and the roar of the tit wheels bad drowned his approach. , Swiftly be withdrew. ; Then be sat down to ponder on the situation. Quite abrupt ly the Cherub now came upon the real ization of his own purposes. He was a little staggered by the 'discovery of bis audacity, but thla was no pew sensation. His audacious flights were . always more or less of an Impromptu nature. In a moment he was smiling confidently, as was his custom when ones-he had decided npou a line of action., however unpromising might be the future. The heavier the clouds ahead the lighter tbe smile. Nick was good fellow and aU that, but lf be chose to mopa. Inactive to the-back ground let blm stay there. He (Cher ub Devlne would show blm how to play tbe game boldly perhaps bow to win.;'' 'r And then came he thought. Would that be absolutely Just to the Count, ss Vecchi? , She and Nicholas bad been spoony on each other for years. and she must bare liked Nick. He was a . likable fellow, clean, sturdy, substantial, one of ber own class, and oh, the Cherub winced at that-one whom she, would call a gentleman. Yes. Nick would measure up to all ber demands as to what gentleman should be. ' ' ; And had it been really she who bad broken off tbe match, or wan It due to the . ambition plans of - ber father? Then after she bad come back,- bum bled In spirit, the Hewington fortune dissipated, bud she perhaps held Nick at arm's length because of ber pride? Was this tbe reason of his seeming Inaction? Had be bees all tbe time waiting In the hope that eewe day she would relent and might sbe not do so. now that In some measure her fortune iuKLbeen restored? Ought not sbe to nave the chance? Was not tbe oppor- tunlty for a free choice due to ber? Shouldn't Nick have another show too? Floundering through some such maze of reasoning, tbe Cberub at last came to this brilliant conclusion, with only a faint suspicion that, be waa about to make an astonishing chump ' of himself. He even experienced glow of aatisf action as be hastily map ped out his new program.: You would. . almost have thought by the cheerful mauner In which he laid It before ! young Mr. Walloway that be thought be was attaining a long desired end. "Well. Nick." he began,, this time giv ing young Mr. Walloway due warning of his approach, "we're almost there. , Now. tbe first thing on the docket Is for you to fix up this business atlbut the house with the countess." ' "I?" exclaimed Nicholas. "Why. sure! You know her better than I do. You go np and have a talk with her; tell her bow you sold tbe stocks and what she can buy back the property for." "But but why don't you" "Me! Oh. I've got to skip beck to town on this tram. Just wanted m get you started straight . You can do It so much better than I can. being oue of ber own kind, and all that. Aren't afraid of tbe countess, are you?" "Why. no. But see here. Cherub" "Now. that's all right. Nick. Yon can do this flue. But say, you call me up on tbe phone at my hotel tonight and let me know bow you come out eh? Don't forget that, about 8 o'clock. Just give me a line on bow sbe takes it and so on. You'll have some re port or other to make. I'll bet Needn't make too much of my share In tbe bus In ess. Just talk, like I'd banded It over to you. aa I have. You're jequal to that Job, aren't your v Now, Just what sort of mental proc ess went on in the brain of Nicholas Walloway it would be vain to try to trace. He was a complex product whose character had been molded not only by circumstances of birth and breeding, but by tbe strong stamp of heredity. He was a young man cbledy distin guished by a reserved stiffness of manner, a quality which often Inspires a confidence that obvious genius falls to command. If, In hesitating to ac cept the advantage offered him by tbe impulsive Mr. Devlne. be waa trou bled by problems of an ethical nature, he allowed tbera to be easily swept away. For many months be had want ed to see tbe Countess VecchL Earnest ly he bad wished for a chance to talk to her alone, and now thla very oppor tunity was thrust upon him. "Well. Cherub, lf you think you had better leave this to me. why. 1" "Good! And don't forget about call ing me un tonight to let me know what luck you nave." No hint of this altered program, of course, bad reached Hewington Acres, so it happened that when Timmlna finally did bring up tbe lathered cobs wltfe a fine flourish the whole house hold waa .assembled to witness tbe Cherub's much heralded return. Tbe Countess Vecchi had at the last moment abandoned her angelic pose and yielded to curiosity. Mr. Hewing ton was even more eager to learn what it was all about Mr. Devlne never knew Just what he missed by backing out In his stead there stepped from tbe Carriage Mr. Nicholas Walloway, out wardly cool sad self possessed, but se cretly very much at loss to know Just how he should proceed. For a moment he regarded the expectant group with some astonishment- Then Mr. Hew ington voiced the common thought In one question: Why. Nicholas where is Mr, De vlne?" "Mr. Devlne Is on his way back to town." "But he - sent word" began . tbe countess, only to be stopped by Mr, Walkmay's hasty explanation. "He has asked me to transact some business with .you. countess. Might 1 er" And he glanced significantly at the door." The Countess Vecchi promptly led Mm tnto the library. - ' . ' "Well. Nicholas?" she asked. Mr. Wslloway bad sested himself at the library table and waa sorting some documents. It bad been years sines sbe bad called him Nicholas.. -Well, this was an auspicious beginning.
