CHAPTER X.
12
Ramsey kept very few things from
Fred Mitchell, ,and usually his confl
dences were Immediate upon the occa
sion of them; but allowed several
weeks to elapse before sketching for
his roommate the outlines of this ad
venture.
"One thing that was kind o' funny
about it, Fred," he said, "I didn't
know what to call her."
Mr. Mitchell, stretched upon the
window seat in their "study," and look
lng out over the town street below
and the campus beyond the street, had
already thought it tactful to ambush
his profound amusement by turning
upon his side, so that his face was
toward the window and away from his
companion. "What did you want to
call her?" he Inquired in a serious
voice. "Names?"
"No." You know what I mean. I
mean I had to keep calling her 'you';
and that gets kind of freaky when
you're talkin' to anybody a good while
like that. When she'd be lookin' away
from iw), for Instance, or down at the
river, or somewhere, and I'd want to
start sayln' something to her, you
know,' why, I wouldn't know how to
get started exactly, without cailln' her
something. A person doesn't want to
be always startin' off with 'See here,'
or things like that."
"I don't see why you let It trouble
you," said Fred. "From how you've
always talked about her, you had a
perfectly handy way to start off with
anything you wanted to say to her."
"What with?"
"Why didn't you just say, 'Oh, you
Teacher's Pet! That would"
"Get out! What I mean is, she
called me 'Itamsey' without any both
er ; It seems funny I got stumped every
time I started to say 'Dora.' Some way
I couldn't land it, and it certainly
would 'a sounded . crazy to call her
'Miss Yocum' after sittln' In the same
room with her every day from the
baby class clear on up through the end
of high school. That would 'a' made
me out an idiot!" ' !
"What did you call her?" Fred
asked.
"Just nothln' at all. I started to call
her something or other a hundred
times, I guess, and then I'd balk. I'd
get all ready, and kind of make a sort
of a sound, and then I'd have to quit."
"She may have thought you had a
cold," said Fred, still keeping his back
turnéd.
"I expect maybe she did though I
don't know; most the time she didn't
seem to notice me much, kind of."
"She didn't?"
"No. She was too upset, I guess, by
what she was thinkin' about."
"But If It hadn't been for that,"
Fred, suggested, "you mean she'd have
certainly paid more attention to who
was sitting on the bench with her?"
"Get out ! You ' know how it was.
Everybody those few days thought we
were goiu' to have war, and she was
just sure of it, and it upset her. Of
course most people were a lot more
upset by what those Dutchmen did. to
the Lusitania than by the idea of war ;
and she seemed to feel as broken up as
anybody could be about the Lusitania,
but what got her the worst was the
notion of her country wautin' to fight,
she said. She really was upset, too,
Fred; there wasn't no puttin' on
about it. I guess that ole girl cer
tainly must have a good deal of feel
ing, because, doggoned, after we'd
been sittin' there a while If she didn't
have to get out her handkerchief I She
kept her face turned away from me
just the same as you're doln' now1 to
keep from laughin' but honestly, she
cried like somebody at a funeral. I
felt like the darndest fool!"
"I'm not laughing," said Fred, but
he did not prove It by turning so that
his face could be seen. "What did she
"Oh, she didn't say such an awful
lot. She said one kind o' funny thing
though: she said she was sorry she
couldn't quite control herself, but if
anybody had to see her cry she minded
it less because It was an old school
mate. What struck me so kind o'
funny about that is why, It looks as
If she never knew the way I always
hated her so."
"Yes," said Fred. "It wasn't flat
tering !"
"Well, sir, It isn't, kind of," Ram
sey agreed, musingly. "It certainly
Isn't when you look at it that way."
"What did you say when she said
that?" Fred asked.
"Nothln. I started to, but I sort of
balked again, Well, we kept on sitting
there, and afterwhile she began to
talk again and got kind of excited
about how no war could do anything
or anybody any good, and all war was
wicked, no matter what it was about,
and nothln' could be good that was
founded on fear and hate, and every
war tht;t ever was fought was always
founded on fear and hate. She said
if the C-iimans wanted to fight ua we
It V .Tr I

ought to go to meet them and tell
them we wouldn't fight."
"What did you say?"
"Nothln'. I kind o' started to but
what's the use? She's got that in her
head. Besides, how are you goln' to
argue about a thing with a person
that's crying about it? I tell you, Fred,
I guess we got to admit, after all, that
ole girl certainly must have a lot of
heart about her, anyway. There may
not be. much fun to her though of
course I wouldn't know hardly any
way to tell about that but there
couldn't be hardly any doubt she's got
a lot of feeling. Well, and then she
went on and said old men made wars,
but didn't fight ; they left the fighting
to the boys and the suffering to the
boys' mothers."
"Yes !" Fred exclaimed, and upon
that ,he turned, free of mirth for the
moment. "That's the woman of It, I
guess. Send' the old men to do the
fighting! For the matter of that, 'I
guess my father'd about a thousand
times rather go himself than see me
and my brothers go; but Father's so
fat he can't stoop ! You got to be able
to stoop to dig a trench, I guess ! Well,
suppose we sent our old men up
against those Dutchmen; the Dutch
men would Just kill the old men, and
then come after the boys anyway, and
the boys wouldn't be ready, and they'd
get killed, too; and then there
wouldn't be anybody but the Dutchmen
left, and that'd be one fine world,
wouldn't it !"
"Yes," said Ramsey. "Course I
thought of that."
"Did you teU her?"
"No."
"What did you say?"
"Nothln'. I couldn't get started any
way, but, besides, what was the use?
But she didn't want the old men to go ;
she didn't want anybody to go."
"What did she want the country to
do?" Fred asked, impatiently.
"Just what it has been doln', I sup
pose. Just let things simmer down,
"No. I Started To, but Shut Up!"
and poke along, and let them do what
they like to us."
"I guess so!" said Fred. "Then,
afterwhile, when they got some free
time on their hands, they'll come over
and make it really Interesting for us,
because they know we won't do any
thing but talk. Yes, I guess the way
things are settling down ought to suit
Dora. There isn't goln' to be any
war."
"She was pretty sure there was,
though," Ramsey said, thoughtfully.
"Oh, of course she was then. We
all thought so those few days."
"No. She said she thought it prob'ly
wouldn't come right away, but now It
was almost sure to come sometime.
She said our telegrams and ail the talk
and so much feeling and everything
showed her that the war thought that
was always in people somewhere had
been stirred up so it would go on and
on. She said she knew from the way
she felt herself about the Lusitania
that a feeling like that In her would
never be absolutely wiped out as long
as she lived. But she said her other
feeling about the horribleness of war
taught her to keep the first feeling
from breaking out, but with other peo
ple it wouldn't ; and even if war didn't
break out right then, it would always
be ready to, all over the country, and
sometime It would, though she was
goln' to do her share to fight It, her
self, as long as she could stand. She
asked me wouldn't I be one of the ones
to help her."
He paused, and after a moment
Fred asked, "Well? What did you say
to that?"
"Nothln. I started to, but '
Again Fred thought It tactful to
turn and look out the window, while
the agitation of his ahouldere be
trayed him.
"Go on and laugh ! Well, so we
stayed there quite a while, but before
we left she got kind of more like every
day, you know, the way people do. It
was half-past nine when we walked
back to town, and I was commencln'
to feel kind of hungry, so I asked her
If she wasn't, and she sort of laughed
and seemed to be ashamed of it, as if
It was a disgrace or something, but
she suid she guessed she was; so I
left her by that hedge of lilacs near
the observatory and went on over to
the 'Teria and the fruit store, and got
some stuffed eggs and olives and half-a-dozen
peanut butter sandwiches and
a box o' strawberries kind of girl
food, you know and went on back
there, and we ate the stuff up. So
then she said she was afraid she'd
taken me away from my dinner and
made me a lot of trouble, and so on,
and she was sorry, and she told me
good-night "
"What did you say then?"
"Noth Oh, shut up! So then she
skipped out to her Dorm, and I came
on home."
"When did you see her next, Ram
sey?" '
"I haven't seen her next," said Ram
sey. "I haven't seen her at all not to
speak to. I saw her on Main street
twice since then, but both times she
was with some other girls, and they
were across the street, and I couldn't
tell If she was lookin' at me I kind of
thought not I thought It might look
sort o' nutty to bow to her if she
wasn't, so I didn't."
"And you didn't tell her you wouldn't
be one of the ones to help her with her
pacifism and anti-war stuff and all
that?"
"No. I started to, but Shut up!"
Fred sat up, giggling. "So she thinks
you will help her. You didn't say any
thing at all, and she must think that
means she converted you. Why didn't
you speak up?"
"Well, I wouldn't argue with her,"
said Ramsey. Then, after a silence, he
seemed to be in need of sympathetic
comprehension. "It was kind o' funny
though, wasn't It?" he said, appealing
iy.
"What was?"
"The whole business."
"What 'whole bus"
"Oh, get out ! Her stoppln' me, and
me goin' pokln' along with her, and
her well, her crying and everything.
and me being around with her while
she felt so upset, I mean. It seems
well, it does seem ail kind, o' funny to
me."
"Why does It?" Fred inquired, pre
serving his gravity. "Why should It
seem funny to you?"
"I don't mean funny like something's
funny you laugh at," Ramsey explained
laboriously. "I mean funny like some
thing that's out of the way, and you
wonder how it ever happened to hap
pen. I mean it seems funny I'd ever
be sittln' there on a bench with that
ole girl I never spoke to in my life or
had anything to do with, and talkin'
about the United States goin' to war.
What we were talkin' "about, why, that
seems just as funny as the rest of It.
Lookin' back to our class picnic, f'r
Instance, second year of high school,
that day I Jumped in the creek after
Well, you know, It was when I started
makln a fool of myself over a girl.
Thank goodness, I got that out o' my
system; it makes me Just sick to look
back on those days and think of the
fool things I did, and all I thought
about that girl. Why, she Well, I've
got old enough to see now she was
just about as ordinary a girl as there
ever was, and if I saw her now I
wouldn't even think she was pretty;
I'd prob'ly think -she was sort of ioud
lookin'. Well, what's passed Is past,
and It Isn't either here nor there.
What I started to say was this: that
the way it begins to look to me, it
looks as if nobody can tell in this life
a darn thing about what's goin' to hap
pen, and the things that do happen are
the very ones you'd swear were the
last that could. I mean you look back
to that day of the picnic my! but I
was a rube then well, I mean you look
back to that day, and what do you
suppose I'd have thought then If some
body'd told me the time would ever
come when I'd be 'way off here at col
lege sittln' on a bench with Dora Yo
cum with Dora Yocum, In the first
place and her crying' and both of us
talking about the United States goln'
to war with Germany ! Don't it seem
pretty funny to you, Fred, too?" -
"But as near as I can make out,"
Fred said, "that isn't what happened."
"Why isn't it?"
"You say 'and both of us talking'
and so on. As near as I can make out,
you didn't say anything at all."
"Well, I didn't much," Ramsey ad
mitted, and returned to his point with
almost pathetic persistence. "But
doesn't it seem kind o' funny to you,
Fred?"
"Well, I don't know."
"It does to me," Ramsey insisted. "It
certainly does to me."
"Yes," said Fred cruelly. "I've no
ticed you said so, but It don't look any
funnier than you do when you say
It."
Suddenly he sent forth a startling
shout. "Wow ! You're as red as a
blushing beet!"
"I am not!"
"Y'are!" shouted Fred. "Wow! The
ole woman-hater's get the flushes. Oh,
look at the pretty posy !"
