caught the speakers eye, as it were,

The clerk evidently knew Mr.. Dick

look of amazemeEt that had stolen over
the professors face, the clerk said:
''If you wait in the reading-room I'll
send Yates to you when he comes. The
boy will find him il he's in the house;
but he may be up town."
The professor, disliking to trouble
the obliging clerk further, did not ask
him where the reading-room was. He
inquired instead Of hurrying porter,
and received the curt but comprehen-

"Dining-room next floor. Reading,

can house Of entertainment. The pro-
lessor paused halfway between the
door and the marble counter, because
he began to fear that he had arrived at
an inopportune ti1ne-that something
unusual was going on. The hurry and
hustle bewildered him. A man with
stentorian but monotonous and mourn
full voice was filling the air with the
information that a train was about to
depart for Albany, Saratoga, Troy, Bos-
ton, New York and the east. When he
came to the words THE East" his voice
dropped to sad, minor key, as If the
man despaired Of the fate Of those who
took their departure in that direction.
Every now and then brazen gong
sounded sharply, and one of the negroes
who sat in row on a bench along the
marble paneled wall sprang forward
to the counter, took somebody's hand
bag, and disappeared in the direction
Of the elevator, with the newl y-arrlveG
guest following him. Groups of men
stood here and there conversing, heed
less of the rush of arrival and departure
around them.
All this was very strange to the pro-
fessor, and he felt himself in a new
world, with whose customs he was
not familiar Nobody paid the slight
est attention to him as he stood there
among it all with his satchel in his
hand. AS he timidly edged up to the
counter and tried to accumulate cour-
age enough to address the clerk, a
young man came forward, flung his
grip on the polished top of the counter.

him and inscribed his name on the page

'Oh, well, whats good enough for

The hand of the clerk descended on
the bell. The negro sprang forward
and took the grip. "Eighty-fve," said
the clerk, and the drummer and the

"All right. The baggageman there

pushing himself in front of the pro.
lessor. The clerk pulled out a fat
bunch of letters from the compartment
marked ''B" and handed the whole lot
to the inquirer, who went rapidly over
them, selected two that appeared to be
addressed to him, and gave the bunch
push towards the clerk, who placed
them where they were before.
Although the professor was to GER
tain extent bewildered by the condition
of things, there was still in his nature

before now stood him in good stead
and which had enabled him to distance

found his way into the readingroom.
Numerous daily papers were scattered
around on the table, each attached to a
long clumsy cleft arrangement of wood,
while other dailies similarly encum-
bered hung from racks against the wall.
The professor sat down in one of the
easy leather-covered chairs, but, in
stead of taking up a paper. drew a
thin book from his pocket, in which he
was so absorbed that he became entire
ly unconscious of his strange surround
ings. A light touch on the shoulder
brought him up from his book into the
world again, and he saw looking down
on him the stern face of a heavily
mustached stranger.
II beg your pardon, sir, but may
ask if you are a guest of this house?'
A shade of apprehension crossed the
professors face as he slipped the book
into his pocket. He had vaguely felt
that he was trespassing when he first
entered the hotel. and now his doubts
were confirmed.

mered.

the professor with a cold scrutinizing
gaze. "A man is either guest or he

''Technically speaking! More eva

ostensibly honest man, if you imagine

cancels maintained for nothing? Do

any man who has cheek enough to step
out of the street and enjoy it? Is it
kept up, ask, for people who are,
technically speaking, not guests?''
The expression of conscious guilt
deepened on the face of the unfor-
tunate professor. He had nothing to
say. He realized that his action was
too fragrant to admit of defense, so he
attempted none. Suddenly the counte-
nance Of his questioner lit up with a
smile, and he smote the professor on
the shoulder
''Well, old stick-in-the-mud you
