? and yet, the t1fst thing I know you are
talking with that stiff sprig of Boyn-
| ton"
"And where may be this Bayard of
yours?"
''Ohl of course, he is apt to be called
away for a moment. One who occu-
: pies his position is n sort of public
character. You ought to be proud"
"'To await my lords leisure with
folded hands and then listen to an in
comprehensive jargon about records
and sprints, and training with rap
ture?"
''But think how I've planned for
this week, and how delighted 1 was
when he promised to take you up"
80 Tommy! Tommy! Can't you
see that you are fairly insulting me?"
'It's because you will not recognize
what hero he is" said the young
man, doggedly.
"Come, then" continued Grace,
briskly, ''let us see. Now, honor
bright, is he gallant?"
"Well, of course, as | said what
with being captain of the nine, and one
of the eleven, and Chairman of the
Athletic Committee"
SIS he clever?"
"He is clever enough to hold all
these positions and to get anything
else he wants in the college. You
ought to see him toss the tabor just
once"
els he cultured and intellectual
"Oh as to his studies the fellows
! have jollied him along, and the facul-
ty, too, for that matter They
wouldn't dare drop man like Rug
giles, you know. As for reading, why
he has sporting of this country and of
England too, at his fingers ends.
His word goes in deciding bet every
time !"
"But do You really think would
enjoy hearing sporting statistics, how
ever accurate?"
''The finest men among our alumni,
by Jove, has been proud of his com
pany. Why, at that banquet in the
metropolis he sat on the right hand of
the Hon. l.. X. Nevitt with Burloo
right next to him. Didn't the law
yers and bankers and Congressman
and Judges all drink his health and
sing, For He's Jolly Good Fellow
There never has been an undergradu-
ate of such celebrity"
"But what will he do after gradua-
tion?"
"Why, there's already n movement
on foot to persuade him to take post
graduate course in law-that's for
thfse years-and thus he can still lead
Pierson on to victory. [ wish you
could see some of the men who have
plead with him. And yet you pick up
IL stick like"
''But what will he do then-will he
practice?'
"Practice Why, he practices two
hours in the morning and one in the
afternoon in the gym every day. Oh,
law you mean. Well, 1 suppose SO.
"He is ready speaker, then?"
What, old George! His tongue gets
rather tangled when he's on his feet.
But that's just what Burloo said, ga
, hero should ever be modest. His deeds
, speak for him"
Q CAS- college boy, perhaps, but will
they aid him hereafter in acquiring an
honorable livelihood? Let me see.
i He might become an all-around sport
- like his professional friend Bill.

how this pretty young girl, whose
entertainment he had SO obligingly
agreed to make his care, didn't seem
to appreciate the distinction. Ger
tainly she was unlike her brother,

cepting he didn't like to think of
r it Why, in the midst of some of his
J most exciting "reminiscences he had
; caught her wtwning behind her fan.
And she had shuddered when he had
displayed the knotty muscles in his
forearm, excepting--well, he might as
well admit it to himself, she did
change and become winsome and fas-
cinating and altogether desirable
whenever that elderly Boynton ap-
peared, n man who had been out of
college for ten years, and didn't know
the difference between an in, curve and
n hot liner Ah he would show her
what manner of man he was whom she
slighted, if only the chance would oc-
