Him that I hadn’t seen for more than twenty-six years. Mrs. Clearwater was along.

Once his hair was wavy red. It’s thin and “dark brown now. Mrs. Clearwater is a charming wo- man and I am. sure has been a fine helpmate.

Funny how young folks pull for a cemetery on such occasions, but you'd hardly expect to find a proc- tor or a professor in a cemetery when you were out with a couple of Seminary girls, so there’s where we went. Red's gir] was a steady. It was a crush, but she refused to z| go for a walk, which was against the rules, even in the afternoon, without being accompanied by an- other Seminary girl. She probably figured it threw the preceptress off the scent. Her companion was a big horse, six inches taller than I and 75 pounds heavier, but Red insisted that I trail along to keep her oc- cupied while he and his girl talked over some serious matters such as | why she had smiled at some other guy at dinner or something of the , sort. At least two of us spent a very pleasant afternoon reading inscrip- tions on Pringle Hill grave stones. How Red fared I've never learned, but differences seemed to be patch- ed up when they returned to the Seminary for dinner that evening. I gave a sigh of relief like a tug- boat that had piloted in an ocean liner when I saw my heroic date swing into Swetland Hal] and her place in the Seminary Dining Room, I guess it was fun. We'd gotten away with something. No one got a demerit and certainly in my case it wouldn't have been worth it. But this is the point of the story. After dinner a friend handed me a note from the ocean liner. Some- how, some way, she "had lost her diamond on Pringle Hill. Would 1 er AH) nis RT oem = “We'd better send them a wedding gift.
