midnight
There was a young man named Harry Stuart , a fine , handsome fellow , who taught drawing at the High School . In him , also , Cordon discovered possibilities ; and she repudiated indignantly the idea that his soulful eyes and waving brown hair had anything to do with it . Harry Stuart was a guileless and enthusiastic member of the State militia ; but in spite of this sinister fact , Corydon went at him . She soon had her victim burning the midnight oil over Kautsky and Hyndman ; and behold , before the autumn had passed , the ill-fated drawing-teacher had resigned from the State militia , and was doing cartoons for the `` Appeal to Reason '' ! Section 8 . Corydon 's excitement over these questions was all the greater because she was just then making the discovery of the relationship of Socialism to the problems of her own sex . Some one sent her a copy of Charlotte Gilman 's `` Women and Economics '' ; she read it at a sitting , and brought it to Thyrsis , who thus came to understand the scientific basis of yet another article of his faith .
