Sam Thomas is discussing with Mar*
tha, his wife, the virtues and iniquities
of the city of Sheffield; Minot House,
the great school, and the QpvU’a
Truck Patch.
CHAPTER IX«—Continued.
“Right ’round the comer from Minot
boose Is Calvert street and the begin-
ning of the Devil’s Truck Patch. Ain’t
It the strangest thing them two can
exist in the same town? The people of
a Sheffield went crazy when the Walde-
mere was built. Even John Willett
put a lot of money into the company;
he s a big stockholder, I hear. ‘Oh,’
says everybody, ‘It’s a grand thing for
Sheffield to have the handsomest hotel
In the country.'
“Then old Minot founded Minot
house. All the people got up again and
cheered and patted each other on the
back and says; *Oh, ain’t it grand for
Sheffield to have the most wonderful
free inst’tution of learnin’ in the coun-
tiyr
‘.‘And t’other night, when I was corn-
in’ out in the trolley, a feller sittln’
next to me was talkin’ to another man,
end he says: ‘Why, we got a tougher
district right in Sheffield than they
have in New York or Chicago; we call
it the Devil’s Truck Patch, and every
third door is a saloon.’ He rfpoke in
Just exactly the same proud, braggin’
tone of voice he’d have used to de-
scribe the new city hall or Minot bouse.
He lumped ’em all in the same cata-
logue of distinguishin’ features that
make Sheffield some town.”
“There’s on# other place in Sheffield
I’ve got respect for besides those you
mentioned,” said Martha, “and that’s
Stacey’s. I wish you’d give me about
five dollars; I’m going to town tomor-
row, shopping. You and Charlie both
need some new shirts; I declare I don’t
know whether it’s cheaper to make ’em
or buy ’em."
“Boys will be boys!”
They will also be fools, was John
Willett’s thought on the day he got the
letter from the dean. In every relation
of life Willett bad been successful, ac-
cording to the standards of Sheffield;
and the standards of Sheffield were
pretty much those of the entire coun-
try. Sometimes he had suffered re-
verses, but ttfey had been temporary;
disappointments, but they had not per-
sisted. One need not be surprised at
the man’s superabundant confidence
to himself, since it had been so thor-
oughly justified year after year.
▲ blow at Ids pride affected Willett
mentally as a Mow at bis solar plexus
{would have effected him bodily. He
crumpled. Hodge, bis secretary, enter-
ing with a wire basket of papers, came
up all standing and exclaimed; “Why,
Jlr. Willett! What’s toe trouble? You
ain’t HI!”
Willett held out the letter to Hodge,
out, ae the secretary would have taken
It, drew It bade.
“No, no," he said. “Never mind;
lt*e—nothing. A little surprise, that’s
att”
Hs sat alone for a long fifteen min-
utes after Hpdge had retired, reading
and rereading the letter and trying to
a think. This was unbelievable; there
was a mistake somewhere. It couldn’t
ibe Ms boy.
He went swiftly over the past six
years to Francis’ life. The boy had
seemed to do well at school and after-
ward at college. Now he was a senior,
twenty-one years old, at least twelve
months below toe usual age at gradua-
. - j,- -

tion. He considered Francis quite pre-
cocious and had never ceased to be
proud of him. Francis had always
been Willett's “beautiful boy.”
If John Willett and his son had
drifted -away from each other—and
John had to admit that In spite of it
all this was measurably the case—the
man argued that one must expect it.
A boy can’t be kept tied to his parents’
front porch. Willett had many a time
looked back to that farewell talk with
Francis on the eve of the latter’s de-
parture for St. Michael’s. He had been
confident that his son had profited by
the talk. There had been others, too;
and J0A1 had felt each time that he
was probing the depths of his boy’s na-
ture. touching him vitally with the
right Influence.
Once or twice Francis had got out
over his bead in money matters. His
father, protesting mildly, had paid the
few hundred dollars required to sat-
isfy the demands of tailors and shoe-
makers, perhaps too freely patronized.
He remembered how fine Francis bad
looked on his last visit home—a boy to
be proud of—or, rather, a man. And
in less than a year, now, he had ex-
pected his son to come home and enter
his own office. There was plenty of
work to make ao ambitious young fel-
low interestedly active.
But this letter from the dean! He
read it once more.
My Dear Mr. Willett:
It la my painful duty to inform you that
your son, Francis Willett, became Involved
in a most unfortunate affair on the night of
November 10, and his participation was of
such a nature that it cannot be overlooked
by the college authorities. *
I will .spare you unnecessary details,
but will say that excAsive indulgence in
'stimulants led three of our students to ap-
propriate a public automobile, which has
resulted in arrest and arraignment upon
several charges, including that of theft,
disorderly conduct, reckless driving, and
the operation of a motor vehicle while
intoxicated.
It haa been the fixed rule of tfie faculty
that, in the absence of thoroughly extenu-
ating circumstances, any students haled
into court for misdemeanors should be
dealt with most severely; and in the pres-
ent instance I am left no alternative. The
young man’s resignation has been asked
for and received.
I believe he secured release from cus-
tody under a suspension of sentence, and
may consider himself most fortunate to
escape^far more serious consequences.
Regretting beyond expression the disap-
pointment and chagrin which this occur-
rence must cause you, not only as a fa-
ther, but as an alumnus, I remain,
Very respectfully yours,
WALTER J. HACKETT,
Dean of the College.
• The door opened and Willett looked
up. Fiends had entered almost upon
the heels of the postman who had
brought the damning letter.
Very humbly and woefully the young
man crossed the room and sank into
a chair. He did not look at his father
nor offer a hand In greeting. Willett
surveyed hlg son steadily for some
minutes without speaking.
“Did you—did you get a letter from
the college?*’ asked Francis.
“Yes.”
“Then there’s no need of my telling
you.”
“I’m afraid there is not much that
you can add, Francis. What will your
mother say?”
Francis looked up quickly.
“Oh. dad,” he said, “does she need
to know 7’
“I have never been In the babit of
deceiving your mother. I should not
know how to go about It. Perhaps
you would do It more skillfully.”
“Don’t, please don’t,” he begged. “It
wasn’t such a—It wasn’t so awfully
bad. We didn’t mean any harm. We
weren’t ourselves.”
“Whose fault was that 7*
“I—er—nobody’s; It was the wine
we had been drinking—everybody does
it. We’d won a big football game, and
we were celebrating—”
“Oh, celebrating. So to celebrate it
is customary to disgrace yourself. And
everybody does it, eh?”
“Why, almost everybody.”
“You say ‘everybody’ does it That
isn’t true. There are doubtless scores
of fellows who don’t; the majority, in
fact Isn’t that so 7’
“Oh, I suppose so; but—”
“But what? You mean to say the
associates you chose all do it 7’
“No, but—”
“Listen, Francis. You are crying
baby, and it is almost as much disap-
pointment to me to have you do that
as it la to learn of your disgrace. You
cannot blame anybody else for your
trouble. Yob chose your own com-
panions, your own road. There is no
hope for yon—yon have no future—if
you make a silly, childish practice of
dodging the responsibility for your
owm misconduct. That is all I have to
say.
“Now l will try to do what I can to
soften this thing for your mother.
Meanwhile we will decide what you
would better do. You must go to
work, of course.”
“Here In the office with you?*
“No, not yet. I don’t want you with
me for the simple reason that you must
learn to be independent. You have
had one opportunity and have failed.
Perhaps it was my fault in that I was
too indulgent; I gave you too much
money. Things came too easy. I will
try to get you a place where you will
earn just enough to live on. You may

stop at home with us, if you like, but
even then you must be entirely self-
supporting. When you have learned
how to handle your own affairs, even
if they amount to but ten dollars K
week, I will consider giving you a
chance to handle some of mine.
“No, Francis, I have no intention of
preaching to you. I tried that. I don’t
say, ‘Do this’ or ‘Don’t do that’ You
have had a lesson which may or may
not teach you something. Your cure-
lies in taking your medicine like a
man.”
That ended the Interview which had
been too painful for either to wish to
prolong it Willett turned to the piled-
up affairs on his desk and sighed. He
had never sighed quite liks that before.
It occurred to him'that he wasn’t a
young man any more. He felt as If
he had turned the three-score-and-ten
milestone decades ago. Francis arose
and appreached the desk.
“Will you shake hands, dad?” he
asked. “I’ll do better.”
The father looked up, and all at once
the years rolled back and Francis was
a little boy again. He had the same
old yearning to hug him and tell him
everything would be all right If only he
would be good. He took his son’s prof-
fered hand and pressed it silently.
“Very well,” the pressure said. “See
that you do. I have confidence In you
yet.” '
But Francis did not cry. He went
out, leaving his .father feeling old
again. John Willett blew his nose and
attacked his work.

CHAPTER X
Changes.
The faculty of Minot house recog-
nized the value of publicity. Theirs
was a message vital to the community.
It seemed, too, as if the people of
Sheffield could never have too much
news of Minot house. When the editor
of a Sheffield paper put on a new re-
porter, he would usually say: “Go up
to Minot bouse and get*a story. There’s
always something good there. Let’s
see what you can make of 1L”

the atmosphere of the place, and wait-
ed for an inspiration. It came, in the
shape of a blond boy with a. slight
oddity of gait. Curiosity, which Is at
the bottom of what is called news In-
stinct, impelled him to follow Charlie
Thomas.
The boy took the elevator and so did
Jones. At the top the elevator door
slid back and disclosed a vast room,
with half a hundred students in smock-
like aprons working at easels or ad-
justable tables. The room was quite
still; everybody except the instructors
seemed too busy to talk. Those who
did so conversed In whispers.
“Is this—is this the art depart-
ment?” asked Jones.
“U-huh,” said Charlie Tbpmas, gen-

a reporter from the View.
“Who’s the boss here, the professor,
or whatever you call him?”
“Mr. McGregor? That’s Mr. Mc-
Gregor over there.”
Charlie indicated a serious young
man who was explaining something to
one of the students by the use of bis
thumb. Charlie put on his own smock
and fell to work on a .smutty-Iooking
Apollo Belvedere which he had out-
lined on his board.
Mr. McGregor led the newspaper
man about the big room, giving him
an animated account of the work of
the classes and explaining everything
with great politeness. When they
reached Charlie, the reporter stopped.
Mr. McGregor was an artist, but be
had had some canny Scotch ancestors.
There was a “story” In Charlie, and
McGregor knew that it was a good
one; but it would depend upon Charlie
whether or not It could be had.
“Thomas,” said McGregor, “Just a
minute, please.”
Charlie deserted Apollo with a lac
rity.
“Yes, Mr. McGregor.”
“I wish you’d show Mr. Jones some
of your little portrait sketches.”
"They’re not art,” said Charlie.
“They’re no good. I’ve torn up most
of ’em. honestly I have, Mr. Mc-
Gregor.”
“What are you, a budding C. D.
Gibson?” asked the reporter. He didn’t
mean to be fresh, but be sounded so
complacent, so cocksure. Way down
Inside Charlie Thomas the little mis-
chief Imp tickled him.
“Wait a minute,” he said, and picked
up a scrap of paper, which he laid on
a magazine. Then, with a pencil, h#
made some rapid strokes, glancing mo-
mentarily at the interested and grin-
ning Jones.
“Here you are,” he said, and went
back to his work.

Submission’s Chances
The El Paiso Times advises that
full returns from El Paso county will
not be available before Sunday. There
are 8,000 votes of that county yet
to be reported. It is a strong anti-
prohibition county. Wise county,
strongly prohibition, has reported
only a small proportion of its vote.
The remainder of the unreported
vote is scattered. These additional
returns may influence the result on
submission one way or the other,
and it may be further influenced by
failure to officially return votps
which have been unofficially re-
ported.
Those who have professed to see
signs during the recent campaign of
a growing disposition to vote for
candidates for other reasons ‘ than
their attitude upon prohibition can
find in an analysis of the returns
figures to sustain that prediction. A
considerable prohibition vote clearly
went to Culberson and Colquitt, and
also to Ferguson, although in a slight-
ly lower proportion.
Instead of the pro and anti line
being clearly defined and closely
drawn in the returns of the primary
election Saturday, it develops that
the line of demarcation * between the
wets and the drys is a vague and

In the senatorial race, Culberson’s
lead haa steadily increased since
Sunday, and is now 7,363. It seems
certain that he will go into the sec-
ond primary.
The lead for submission now Is
1,063. It has varied greatly, going
as low as 800, but ut no time did
the lead vanish and the result still is
In doubt.
The returns are from 228 counties
91 of which are now complete. They
account for 377,862 votes as to gov-
ernor and 362,708 as to senator,
probably 94 _per cent of the votes
cast'
Morris Carries Belt
According to almost complete re-
turns, Governor Ferguson failed to
carry his home county (Bell), Morris
leading him by 130 votes in that
county with about ten small precincts
to hear from. The total vote from

now you don’t. In one county tfie
pros are voting for Farmer Jim and
anti candidates for the senate, and in
another the antis - are swatting sub-
mission, but giving a pretty fair vote
for candidates who are prohibition*
lsts.
What Happened to Hopkins
For instance Hopkins county, a
'•ockribbed prohibition stronghold,
and the scene of the trial of the
Attorney general’s suits against the
Texas breweries gave a two to one
vote in favor of submission and gave
Morris a majority of about 300 votes
over Ferguson on almost complete re-
turns, and yet gave a majority of
100 votes to the three- anti senator-
ial candidates over the three pro
candidates.
Present and Not Voting
The submission question has been
showing total votes of about 75,000
less than the total vote in the sen-
atorial race. Submission totals have
also been running about 75,000 below
totals In the race for governor. In
other words, some 75,000 voters on
an average as the incomplete returns
were running, expressed themselves
in the senatorial and governor’s race
and did not vote on the submission
question either way.
Morris carried Hill county by about
700 plurality over Governor Fergu
son, the returns from that county
being, Morris 2,803, Ferguson 2,111
and Marshall 79.
Attorney General Looney carried
Bexar county, which is overwhelm-
ingly anti-prohibition, by a 2 to 1
vote.
