him on such occasions until he became IA
miliar with the building. The deception was
perfect. II never occurred to anybody to
doubt the identity of the athlete and the
student.
Meanwhile Lawrence burned the midnigh,
oil as he had never done before. He had
sworn to make his name known, and he
succeeded. In a month IL was the talk OF
the college that the brother of the famous
Harry Bangs was a long-haired grind.
This is term Of reproach, and yet II car
ries no bitterness. There is no other place
on earth where the individual rights of man
are so perfectly recognized as they are in a
flrst-rate American college. One may do as
he likes there. And yet it is a fact that a
young man who spends fourteen hours a
day in hard study has not much time for
making friends. Fellows who called upon
him at first found him always knee-deep in
Greek or Latin, and they ceased to come.
because they disliked to disturb him.
During this time Paddy was being sub
5ected to an educational discipline which
was equally severe. though the curriculum
was limited. He was being taught to say a
few words in a voice which would not sug-
gest the South Cove of Boston to anybody
VINO had ever visited that locality. The
natural tone of his voice was, happily quite
similar to Lawrence's, but his vocab ulary
was entirely different. He did not saw
much, but when he did launch a remark it
whizzed through the air like one of his
mastery lin shoots and left sulphurous
trail behind 1t. Not that Paddy was a bad
boy; no. indeed; he was full of amiable
qualities which had never been developed
He adhered to his own standard of morality
with admirable fidelity and 1t was certainly
not his fault that the standard was no bet
ter. He considered himself bound in honor
to please Harry Bangs in everything. and
1t was he who first solved the difficulty pre-
sented by his reculiarities of conversation
which suited so Ill with the character of
Lawrence Bangs, the student.
See here Mr.. Bangs" he said one day,
when Harry had been looping off a few ex-
crescences from the South Cove dialect
