In Which a student and Three

Parties-Another Kodsk Fiend.
Spring, spring, beautiful spring, is near
at hand and in its train we may expect
deluge of organ grinders, rag pickers,
street peddlers and Kodak camera fends.
In fact, yesterday afternoon one of the
last named gentry was out with his No. 3,
rushing the season. He was a student,
member of the junior class and like the
rest of his brethren was on the lookout
for spicy adventure. He did not seek by
ways and hedges for the pretty little frag-
ments of natures beauty but preferred
like Dr. johnson to confne himself to the
haunts of men. Our hero made a number
of successful snaps at as many of New
Ravens pretty girls-but they did not
mind it at all. In fact the young ladies
endured the ordeal of having their like
| nesses extracted with remarkable degree
of sto1idity. This was too tame for the
Kodak fend and something of q
more exciting nature was soon at
/ hand. It came in the shape and buxom
forms of three young girls from out of
town, evidently here for fun. They were
| all dressed nearly alike, about of size, and
did not vary many years in their ages. All
one, and no one could be blamed for wish
ing picture. But that part was some
thing more than they had bargained for,
| and when coming down Chapel street their
| laughter and chatter was abruptly ended
by an ominous click, click, at their side,
and right there stood the awful student
with his still more awful camera and a
sardonic smile on his face which expressed
volumes of triumph. The girls stood still
| just moment and then turned in igno-
minious fight. Then the fun began,
street full of spectators. Up one street,
down another, lodging this way and turn
ing that, went the girls, trying in vain to
escape from their pursuer, who now
would have one more picture what
ever the cost might be. The young
ladies went into every store which had for
sale anything whatever of use to them
selves, and always when they came out
| there was that same apparition, but they
were expert runners and would every time
escape. They did eventually have to sub
NIT to the inevitable, for in time it came
to question of endurance, and at last on
the corner of Elm and Orange streets the
persistent appeared suddenly right in front
Of them, another fatal click and the much
desired end had been gained. When last
seen the entire party were on terms Of
friendly intimacy, and it is probable the
bold thief was forgiven his transgression
