story as the iotd it:
By IDA RIEI1L
It tbpk mo a whole week to realize that
soniellow X had done the most nwfiil
thing a girl enn do. I didn't know why
oi4 what Win the mutter with me, but a
voice Inside of me kpt naylnp, "Kill
yourself, Idn, you had better kill your
self rind, end It nil."
I didn't see Ed much during that week.
Mnyhe It was. bicaune I wiui too miser
able in io but, Maybo bo didn't como
nrourid as much aa ustinl. I don't know.
Only, f felt that If I couldn't talk to somo
one a'oon I'd Ro'craiy. I looked nt dnd
Iota of times nnd was almost ready to
(peak.. to him about It all, hut It Bcemcd
to mo that ho'd had enough trouble of his
own without me bothering him with mlno.
And something (old me, too, that a. glrl'B
mother was about the only person sho
could- go to In a time like this.
And then ono day Aunt Klla enmo
round, from her houso on Auburn street.
"What's the matter, Ida?" sho said to
me sharply when I enmo In tho room.
"You, look sick."
I told her I didn't know, nnd It was
God's truth tflat. I spoko then. I didn't
know what the matter wns, but I told her
everything Just as lthappcnedi I'll never
forget the look of her-face when I told
her. '
"My God, child," sho moaned, rocking
back ;sind forth and wringing her hands,
"you don't know what you've done."
And then aha cried as If her heart
would break.
COULDN'T THINK WHAT TO DO.
I wouldn't havo cared If sho had beaten
me then, I wish sho had, because may
be then I could havo forgotten tho nwful
suffering In my head. I couldn't think
what to do for tho burning pain In my
head.
VWo muBtn't toll your father," Aunt
Ella said, when sho had stopped crying,
"It might kill him, Wo'vo got to Beo Ed
right away."
And then my aunt and I went down
to the dairy to soo Ed. I guess when ho
came out ho must havo known that some
thing waa tho mattor when ho saw Aunt
Ella, for ho looked kind of worried.
My aunt was nngry with him, but sho
Noldn't let him know It at first.
"Ed," she said, "you've got to marry
Id, right away and fclvo her a name."
For the -first time for a week I felt
happy again. I thought If I win mnrruri
to Ed everything wpuld come ,all. jHfht,
UftiUlII. t . - -
llut somehow Ed was changed, "wio
didn't seem to love me as much as ho
.had said he did. He didn't even look at
me or talk to mo, but he told Aunt Ella
he couldn't get married because he wasn't
old enough. I couldn't understand his
saying thin, because I am sure I heard
his father say once that he was 21.
Aunt Ella said It didn't mako any dlf.
ference-that If ho was old enough to bo
the father of my baby he was old enough
to marry me, and If ho wasn't man
enough to do It himself his father would
Baye to be told and something would havo
to be done to mako him.
HEIt LOVEIt ASKED DELAY.
.. ,J wouldn't want anybody to know
this, he told her; "you give Ida and me
?uW . or B0 t0 ,n,k matters over and
then I guess we'll come to some sort of
understanding."
Aunt Ella said the only kind of under
standing we could dome to would bo mar
riage, and that It would have to bo tjulck
He said, "Meet m next Tuesday at th
street and dlrard avenue and we'll fix
things up."
Tho next Tuesday afternoon Aunt Ella
nnd I Met Bid at (th street and fJIrard
avenue. Hd was cross and that made me
cry.
"I'll marry her In three weeks," he said,
"If we keep It secret for two years."
My aunt didn't want this, but she said
she'd agree for the name. Then Ed said
that he and I would tako a little walk
and arrange things, and so my aunt
left us.

I couldn't get used to Ed, He wasn't
the same and somehow 1 always felt
strango with him. After Aunt Ella had
gone, lis began to put on a poor mouth.
He said he didn't know how In the name
of OcAl he wns going to keep anyone.
And then he put his arm around me and
said he knew a doctor who would fix
things tip and get us both out of this
scraps JSd's manner tnada me afraid.
It didn't teem possible that a girl could
be so scared of a man she loved. I
wouldn't go with him nnd that seemed
to make him mad. He left me and I
went right back to Aunt Ella and told
her I was so frightened.
Aunt Ella decided to tell dad that night
Sho said the affair -was getting too big
for women to handle. I afterward found
out that when AUnt Ella told my father
she made him promlso that he wouldn't
any anything to upset me. And so, though
I knew that dad know, nnd he knew that
1 know, he didn't say a word, but lie
couldn't keep his sorrow out of his eyes.
Just tho same.
The next morning my father went down
to Hauptfuhror's to see Ed. He wasn't
there, but he left word for him to como
up to our place as soon as he came In.
At 1 o'clock Ed came. My father didn't
waste words,
"What aro you going to do about this?"
he Bald.
Ed didn't look nt dad, but Bald some
thing about not having money enough to
keep me, nnd not being of nge. My father
said that didn't matter; he should havo
tnougnt or those things before; now he'd
have to marry me right nwny.
Ed snld, "Do you want a minister or n
magistrate?"
Dad was excited. He said he didn't
care n. yip at this stage of the game. Ed
had Just como up from the dairy. He
said his clothes weren't lit to go In town
and Kot a license, and ho hnd to go homo
and get washed up. Dad didn't want to
let him go.
"Have a heart," Ed begged. "Give mo
a day or two to fix my books up."
I wished then that I was dead.
Dad said:
"But you didn't havo a heart when you
ruined my llttlo girl, nnd no matter what
you do shell have to pay the most."
Ed pleaded to bo allowed to go homo
for 15 minutes to seo his father. Dart
always was kind-hearted. Ho let him
go. Ed never came back.
AVOIDED SIEETINO IDA.
Tho next dny dad wont down to Hntipt-
fuhrer's ngaln. Ed's father naked him
whnt the matter was. Dad told him and
Mr. Hrtuptfuhrcr sympathized with him.
He said, "They ought reully to marry,
but think of tho cat-and-dog life they'd
live If they did." I couldn't understand
why, when Ed hnd Bald he loved mo
nnd I loved him.
Ed waa upstairs nnd his father couldn't
get him to como down, so after waiting
n rou nil n llttlo while dnd camo home dis
couraged. A wholo week passed nnd Ed didn't
come near mc. On the following Tues
dny I wns almost desperate, and so I
called him up nnd tried to coax him into
being good to me. I asked him to como
down to the houso. Ho said ho wouldn't
do It, but that he would meet mc outside
that night If I camo alone. I met him
that night. He came in his father's au
tomobile and had another fellow with
mm. I almost died of shame when Ed
began tnlklng nbout our trouble beforo
this other man. But Ed saKl It didn't
matter, that he knew all about It Ho
begged mo to get in tho automobile, be
cause he said It wouldn't do for us to be
seen talking there. I had never been ner
vous before, but somehow I was afraid
"to go. Ed got so cross, thoueh. that T
had to get In. After we'd been gono for
nbout 10 minutes the other fellow took a
bottle of white stuff out of his pocket.
"Drink this tonight, little girl," ho said,
"nnd tomorrow I'll meet you nnd give you
something else that'll help you nnd Ed
out by ridding you of tho disgrace."
t took the bottle of white stuff from
him. It looked like water, but I was
nfrald to tako It. The next day tho other
man met me ngnln and gave mo a bottlo
of big bjnek pills. He acted so secret
about It that my heart almost stood still.
I 'was afrnld to do what they wanted mo
to nnd so I took both of the bottles to
Aunt Ella. She screamed when she saw
them, nnd tho next thing I knew they
had Ed arrested.
I never wanted him to bo arrested, Ood
knows, for I think of him still.
WHAT THE NEW SIGNALS MEAN
l-"Stop" (Block nhcatl occupied). 2-"CautIon' (One Mock ahead
clear, but the second block occupied). 3-'Proceed, prepared to pass
next signal nt medium speed" (Two blocks clear, bur the third oc
cupied). 4 "Proceed" (Three or more blocks ahead clear). Each
signal protects a block of 3500 feet of track. A motorman receives
notice of a possible stop at least 7000 feet in advance, and always
receives at least two warning signals beforo approaching a stop
signal.

president of Havcrford College, wns tho
principal speaker nt the exercises, which

A plea for well-rounded cducntlon as
contrasted with vocational training was
mndo by Doctor Sharplcss,
"Tho present vogue ot vocational train
ing has so gripped tho public Hint there
Is danger In overlooking the value of an
ncndcmlc education," he said. "When 111
wo call a specialist and wo accept Ills
world without a dauht. We should nlso
accept tho word of nn expert educator,
a specialist In education, In matters per
taining to what is good for us In cducn
tlon. "Vocatlonaltra Inlng has Its merits In
many respects. It nts a man for his eight
hours of work n day nnd 11 tn him welt.
But what of his eight hours of recreation?
An academic education will enlarge hln
breadth of view and will enable him to
think with reason and to discuss matters
that nn untrained mind cannot consider
so Itelllgently."
Colonel Sheldon Potter, president of Hie
board of trustees, presented diplomas,
and thcro wero addresses by Dr. 'William
Kershaw, tho retiring nrlnclnal. who will

for the now signal system Instnlled there
coincident with tho ODenlng of tho elec
tric suburban service, maintains lights
so powerful that headlines aro visible
1000 feet from the signal bridge tung
stens. Tho new signal system is only ono of
the Innovations In railroading that the
Pennsylvania has Installed for the elec
trification of tho Main Mnc to Pnoli.
Thcro Is a "Dead Man's Control," which
will stop n train should tho motorman fall
111, a Bystem of electrically actuatod
brakes, nnd several safeguards to pre
vent accidents when the high voltago cur
rent Is turned Into the wires July 1 and
tho nrst scheduled train leaves Broad
Street Station.
Tho signal system Is working now.
From tho rear tho new "boards" look
like, the Iniquitous "banjo" signals which
figured In tho New Haven wrecks, but
the principle Is very different. It Is tho
most efficient over Installed, Pennsylva
nia engineers say. Instead of depending
on the Intrlento movements necessary to
raise nnd lower semaphore arms and at
night on tho color sense tn the engineers'
eyes, the new system works with blazing
nhita electric lights, both day and by
night.
Tho lights, after tho fashion of the
moving signs on Broadway, form In rows
of white globes tho semaphore positions.
So bright Is the light that the positions
enn be clearly seen In tho brightest sun
light 400 feet away.
Tho "Dead Mail's Control," which will
guard the passongcrs on all electric trains,
makes It impossible to lotek tho controller
handlo tn any position. Tho motorman
must hold It In tho proper speed notch
ngalnst tho pressure of a light but suf
ficiently strong spring. Should tho motor-
man bo suddenly stricken nnd relax his
hold the controller handlo Will fly back to
the "neutral" point nnd tho current will
be shut ort and the brakes applied.
