the professor" held snort interview with
the clubs secretary.
is Mr. M-M-M-McLeod in?" stam-
mered the professor, rs big beads of per-
SEPARATION rolled from his pugiliStic tOpknot
and fell with a crashing sound on the
polished floor.
The bookkeeper was somewhat taken by

professor" handed him card upon which
was written: professor Harry Maynard,

swimming and physical culture"

When the professor" was answered in
the negative he plunged his mighty bunch
of fves INTO his coat pocket and pulled forth
a bunch OF letters, among which he found
card.
He presented the pasteboard to the
nbllEng clerk, who read on 1t the name OF
Kenneth Cation.

professor.

"Oh. beg your pardon" politely retorted
the famous Instructor in physical culture.
"Y gu are evidently a green un in the brsi-
ness, otherwise you would certainly have
known me-"
Maynard cut off the interview by stating
that he had a man--an INSTRUMENTATION he
would match to wrestle Mcleod for any
