He saw- the warning sign rnmld a vortex of dust, hissing steam 4nd the grind aud roar of giant wheelb. Then he was sensi- ble of having grazed death by a nar- row margin, S.imeone was pulling at his Bleeve-^the sam e one who had grasped his ariv, and drawn him back Just in the nick of time. \Stop! I,ookr Listen!\ he. mur- mured mechanically in a dazed, lost way. 'fhen his eyes fell upon the hand trembling on his sleeY«. H U eyes followed Ita outlines to t*e wrist, along the arm to the face of the pt^r- son who had saved bia life. This was what he saw—a nut-brown face, but exquisitely molded, eyes wilh a trace of the shock of t'jrror, but in- finitely kindly and sensible. All these belonged to a girl of ubout twenty, ^lie was plainly dressed, but neat and clean. By her side were two immense baskets, empty. Site had dropped them to seize this abstracted, heed- less mortal. Immersed In thought, his mind a thousand miles away from the remotest suspicion of peril at a mo- ment when It hovered so dangerously near to him. \You didn't seem to notice that the train was coming, sir,\ said the girl, now that the eiCeitement waa past becoming shy and e-c-:fnsed. \You m \How Delightful!\ Enthused Drew. e-ouldn't have he>aril the whistle, nor have si-en Hie sign, Vou must have been thinking, sir,\ - \Yes il is a hael habit of mine,\ con- fessed the young professor.

A radiant garden encircled il. Then behind w:is a full len acres, planted-In exq'ii -.ti order with sweet peas and >'nr- ,i .ons. \Why yon .- got a regular Jteradlse here!\ spoke- the professor In profouiu' aitniiratlon and surprise, \Yes.\ nodded hir bright little com- panion smilingly, \You see, father di\d. mother Is an invalid, there are four little' euv's, but thev- --u- V-'',- wtiPii lliey are well and every morn- ing 1 carry the tiowers to the trolley express and ship them In to a city 'liirist,\' How delightful!\ enthused Drew, anil the whliT af perfume and the In- spiration of brilliant colors cleared the e-obvvejis elf p(ini|ei-nu>« scle'iice frnm bis brain magically, \You sec, you muBtn'tVcome any lU'arer thr house.\ advised .Myra Lit- tle. ••'That aigi;—Ibe reej one near tbe door,\ \Why yes, suid Drew scanning a piece of flaming red cardboara— \measles.

It has been bad for oti» liltle flower business, for I have to pay a tuan to come after the cut flowers and lake them to the station. Then I go after the bas kets.\ \Measles eh?\ repealed Drew In hla vaifue ruminative way. \How for- tunate.\ .M>Ta stared a» him in wonder, \I mean for njyaelf,\ Drew hastened to explain, 'As a general student I bave bee:omo quite a physician. I shall be glad to go in and look over tho llllle ones. 1 may be able to sug- gest or prescribe in a way that will allevlale their discomfort, /You kno-«- doctors are practically Immune,\ he laughed, and, heedless of the faint pro- tests of his companion, he entered tha house with he;-. The little onetj regarded him with awe and their mother with gratitude,aa Drew looked tbem over and advised some sensible and efflcaclous home treatment. H e lingered for an hour. The presence of the sweet-faced girl, the break In the solitary monotony ol his life charmed him. \I say, it won't do! \ challenged a de- cided voice, as he came Into the outer air again to confront the local health officer. \I'm afraid it's a quarantine, . professor,\ added the man. \\You see, I It wouldn't do for you to carry back germs among mil those young stu-1 dents. You'll hmre to Isolate your- \ self.\ j There was no gainsaying the edict I of the officer. Drew looked more quiz- 'i ileal than dismayed. Then he saw the logic of the argument. \We would try t o make you comfort- i able here,\ spoke Myra, and an ar- j rangement was oonsUmmated. Tha { professor wa s to become a lioarder ! In the infected house for th e critical { ten-day period. I It wa s a glorious experience, a won- i derfnl variation. He needed it and b e i improved and enjoyed it. All day i long he helped Myra amon g the flower I beds. 'When one day he received a letter from the college folk announc- ^ ing that they had decided to do wilh- out a new tutor, be simply shrugged hla shoulders. \I declare,\ he observed to Mrs. Lit- i tie, \1 could spend my life among th e : flowers! If you had a Utile more ground and owned the place there •would be more than a living in the work. This Is life. I've missed it delv- ing Into old dusty tomes. I have some money put by. Suppose I Invest it here and—and why not go into part- nership with you good people?\ Myra took all this for a passing fancy, but she found herself mistaken. Tb?\' had become famous friends, he, tho courteous, warm-hearted scholar;, she, the ceaseless. Intrepid liltle work- er. One day the professor returned from to'A-n, an unusual animation ap- parent in his face and manner. \I've bought tho place,'' he an- nounced. \And I've been thinking.\ bo added, walking along with Myra. \You remember that sign al the rail- road crossing where you saved and changed my life? 'Stop!'\ and Myra lialted obediently. Ho drew from hie pocket a shining circlet, \'Look!'\ he supplemented, and .Myra did so, and fluttered strangely, — \ 'Listen!' I love you. Will yeiu take tho ring and become my partner for life? I love you.\ \And I love you, loo,\ sweetly and simply spoke Myra, placing bolh handa cejr.fldlngly wllhin hla own.
