He did not add that he would be the person to make the ex periment (if Dora weren't a girl), nor did the thought enter his mind until an hour or so later. "Well," he added, "I suppose there is little more to be said." He was so right, in regard to his own performance, at least, that, thereupon drying up utterly, he proceeded to stand, a speechless figure in the midst of a multitudinous silence, for an eter nity lasting forty-five seconds. He made a racking effort, and at the end of this epoch found words again. "In making my argument in this debate, I would state that-" "Two minutesl" said the chairman. "Refutation by the negative. Miss D. Yocum. Two minutes." "I waive them," said Dora, primly. "I submit that the affirmative has not refuted the argument of the negative." "Very well." With his gavel the chairman sharply tapped the desk be fore him. "The question is now be fore the house. 'Resolved, that Ger many is both morally and legally justi fied in her invasion of Belgium.' All those in favor of the-" But here there was an interruption of a kind never before witnessed dur ing any proceedings of the Lumen so ciety. It came from neither of the de baters, who still remained standing at their desks until the vote settling their comparative merits in argument should be taken. The interruption was from the rear row of seats along the wall, where sat new members of the society, freshmen not upon the program of the evening. A loud nasal voice was heard from this quarter, a loud but nasal voice, shrill as well as nasal, and full of a strange hot pas sion. "Mr. Chairman!" it cried. "Look a-here, Mr. Chairman! Mr. Chairman, I demand to be heard I You gotta gim me my say, Mr. Chairman! I'm a gunna have my say! You look-a-here, Mr. Chairman !" Shocked by such a breach of order, and by the unseemly violence of the speaker, not only the chairman but everyone else looked there. A short, strong figure was on its feet, gesticu lating fiercely; and the head belonging to it was a large one with too much curly black hair, a flat swarthy face, shiny and not immaculately shaven; there was an impression of ill-chosen clothes, too much fat red lip, too much tooth, too much eyeball. Fred Mitchell recognized this violent interrupter as one Linski, a fellow freshman who sat next him in one of his classes. "What's that cuss up to?" Fred wondered, and so did others. Linski showed them. He pressed forward, shoving himself through the two rows in front of him till he emerged upon the green carpet of the open space, and as he came, he was cyclonic with words. "You don't put no such stuff as this over, I tell you " he shouted in his hot, nasal voice. "This here's a free country, and you call yourself a -de bating society, do you? Lemme tell you I belong to a debating society in Chicago, where I come from, and them fellas up there, they'd think they'd oughta be shot fer a fake like what you people are tryin' to put over, here, tonight. I come down. here to git some more education, and pay fer it, too, in good hard money I've made sweatin' in a machine shop up there in Chi cago; but if this is the kind of educa tion I'm a-gunna git, I better go on back there. You call this a square de bate, do you?" - He advanced toward the chairman's platform, shaking a frantic fist. "Well, if you do, you got another think comin', my capitalis' frien' I You went and give out the question whether it's right fer Cholmuny to go through Bel glum; and what do you do fer the Cholmun side? You pick out this here big stiff"-he waved his passionate hand at the paralyzed Ramsey-"you pick out a boob like that fer the Cho mun side, a poor fish that gits stage- 1 fright so bad he don't know whether he's talkin' or dead; or else he fakes it; because he's a speaker so bum it looks more to me like he was faking. You git this big stiff to fake the Chol mun side, and then you go and stick I up a gl agailns' him that's got brains and makes a pacifis' argument that wins the case igains' the Cholimuns like cuttin' through hog lard! BUt you ain't a-gunna git away with it, mister. Imnme tell you right here and now, I may be a mix blood, but II got some (Cholnmun in me with the rest a what I got, and before you vote on this here question you gotta hear a ( few wolds frtomm somebody that can E talk! This whole war is a capitalis' war, Belgium as much as Choimuny, and tile United States is sellin' its soul a to the capltalls' righlt now, I tell you, e takin' sides agains' Choimuny. Orders ter explosives and aummanition and guns :and Red Cross supplies is comin' i into this country by the millions, and o the cnapitalis' United States is fatal- e ready on tihe blood of the workers of Europe! Yes, it is, and I'll have my ( say, you hooranw faker, and you can o hammer your ole gavel to pieces at 6 me !" S Hlie had begun to shriek; moisture A fell fri-n his brow and his mouth; the C scandalized society was on its feet, moving nervously into groups. Evi- o dently the meeting was shout to die- , "I'1l Have My Say!" the Frenzied Linski Screamed. Integrate. "I'll have my say I" the frenzied Linski screamed. "You try to put up this capitalis' trick and work a fake to carry over this debate agains' Choimuny, but you can't work it on me, lemme tell you I I'll have my say !" The outraged chairman was wholly at a loss how to deal with the "un precedented ,ituation"-so he defined it, quite truthfully; and he continued to pound upon the desk, while other clamors began to rival Linski's; shouts of "Put him out !" "Order !" "Shut up, Freshman!" "Turn him over to the sophomores I" "This meeting is adjourned!" bel lowed the chairman, and there was a thronging toward the doors, while the frothing Linski asseverated: "I'm a-gonna git my say, I tell you! I'll have my say I I'll have my sayI" He had more than that, before the hour was over. A moment after he emerged from the building and came out, still hot, upon the cool, dark campus, he found himself the center of a group of his own classmates whom he at first mistook for sopho mores, such was their manner. . As this group broke up a few minutes later, a youth running to join It, scenting somewhat of interest, de tained one of those who were depart ing. "What's up? What was that squeal ing?" "Oh, nothing. We just talked to that Linski. Nobody else touched him, but Ramsey Mlholland gave him a peach of a punch on the snoot." "Whoopee!" Ramsey was laconic in response to inquiries upon this subject. When some one remarked: "You served him right for calling you a boob and a poor fish p.nd so on before all the society, girls and all," Ramsey only said: '"That wasn't what I hit him for." He declined to explain further. (Continued next week) CONSTABLE SALE. Sullivan Owens vs. W. J. Scott. Fifth Ward Justice Court, Parish ol St. Tammony, Louisiana.
