on his luck. Called home by an urgent
telegram in the midst of the Thanksgiv-
ing vacation OF his senior year, he has
missed Thanksgiving dinner with a
jolly party ofhis college mates, to say
nothing OF a broken engagement for
the german with the prettiest girl in
Binghamton.
When he pays the parlor car con-
ductOr IS cents for a seat to Homells-
vile and engages a berth in the Sleep
er to be put on at that station he
makes the discovery that he has but
1912 current coin of the realm in ad-
dition to his ticket to Chicago. This
does not add cheeefulness to his frame
OF mind. And there is not pretty
girl in the car.
His gloomy meditation is broken bv
the arrival ofthe train at Elmira. On
the station platform, III response to
his telegram, are two conference.-the
Richard Robbins and Mr.. Alfred Jane
sOn--ClaSSmates and residents OF El.
mira Jack jumps off, and an anin1a-
ted conversation follows. At this
junction a group appears upon the
station platfOrm-tWO young ladies,
an elderly lady, and a 1O-year-old
girl.
Jack-Boys, who's the young lady
In the ulster; I've seen her some
where?"
Dick-Miss Dodge; you met her last
Winter at our german. Don't know
the one in sealskin.
The young lady in the ulster bows
to Jack s friends. The girl in sea]skin
enters the parlor-car, opens the win
dow, and converses with her friends.
Whispered chorus-Can't you intro
duce me. boys?.-Don't know the
girl.-Haven't the nerve; look at the
eye on the elderly party.
misunderstanding the conversation
going on through the window and
making most profound bow to Miss
Dodge-Pardon me, Miss Dodge! All

Long OF Chicago?
Miss Dodge's face reveals the fact
that she doesn't, but she murmurs
something politely indefinite.
II see you have q friend-we're in
the same car-ah-um-won't you be
kind enough to introduce me?"
At this critical point the conductor
shouts GAIL aboard"
Miss Dodge-Why, certainly. De-
lighted, I'm sure. Isabel! Let me in
troduce my friend, Mr. De Long, Miss
Raymond, Mr.. De Long. He's in
your car.
"Mr. De Long,"
"Miss Raymond"
Jack takes O. hasty adieu OF Mr..
Robbins and Mr.. Jameson, who re-
spond feebly, being in state of men,
tai collapse, encounters for one brief
instant the shocked and indignant
gaze of the elderly parsonage, and
springs on board just as lifelong train

Much more than IS the cheese;
For lis was not hard estate,

Germany has no statistics from which to

Il is one Of the notable features Of the

national debt per family is so low, and
Il is the subject Of comment that while
the ratio Of national debt to families has
