latter, as they passed the porter.
And so we got Turner safely into DR..
Turtles rooms, and showed him the lum-
ber-room where he was to be hidden.
"You had better stay up there" Bull
finch remarked, "till the servants leave
college, at ten. 1 will bring you some
provisions tonight" And we left him.
"Have some supper for two laid in my
uncle's rooms the last thing before you
leave college," Bulfnch said to his
Scout" whom we passed on the stairs.
"Or shall ] say for three, DukeT he
asked when we reached the court. HE
Will be as hungry as horse that, you
know; and he will want the remains for
breakfast and lunch tomorrow" 'ae
ytf'Must not feed him too high, Jack" !"
Duke replied. "He can't get much ex-
ercise up there, you see. Supper for two
will do" \ ja "'e 'e''
That night, after ten o'clock, when the
college gates were closed and all was
quiet, we went to see Turner. Supper
was ready on the table, so we called him
down from his hiding place. And GER
tainly he did justice to it. M ...
"Have you heard anything? Has it
been discovered yet~ he asked.
"Well, l believe the-ah-corpse has
come into the college," Duke replied.
cam Isuspectedw Turner asked. "Are
they looking for mep'
20, they have not missed you yet,
said Bulfnch; "but there will be deuce
of a search when they do, and we must
just keep you quiet till it is over"
"And what then~ asked Turner.
"Well, you see," Duke replied, "this
is very serious matter indeed, and we
consider that the only safe course will be
to get you out of the country. We think
of having you conveyed by barge down
the river-say packed in chest or ham,
per, or something of that kind-and we
shall arrange with some coasting vessel
to take you across to France until this
unfortunate business is forgotten. But
by-bye, old fellow. It's not safe for us
to stay too long here, it night attract
notice. And be careful, should you heal
any one moving about through the day
not to be discovered; indeed, it would be
as well for you not to come down at all
till after ten at night, unless you heal
the signal from us. What do you think
Bulfnch%
20, / quite agree with you," he re
piled. ... '' r.l.
And so, after seeing Turner safely into
his retreat, and making him take the re
mainder of the provisions with him, VIZ
said goodnight, and left him.
The next d,y an unexpected even
upset all Dukes and Bulfnch's carefully
arranged plans. 1t was late--about Mint
o'clock. There were several of us stand
ing about the foot of Dukes staircase, tt
whose rooms we and some men from 9th
er colleges were going, as the Muttol
Chop Club was to meet there that night
Bulfnch had just left us for thu
purpose of ordering supper fo
two to be laid in Turtles rooms, when
to my CONSERVATION, I saw cab draw
up at the college gate and the Docto
himself step out Of it. He had returned
several days sooner than was expected
