gladly accepted the terms, going inn
mediately to bed. ISL
He was exceedingly fatigued. as has
been said, and naturally his sleep was
sound, although not free from dreams.
The professor was never entirely free
from dreams, whether waking or
sleeping. And throughout the night he
imagined himself scratching, scratch
ing, scratching, to allay the distract
ing itching caused by the skin malady
upon his back The itching was still
unallaycd when he opened his eyes In
the morning and looked into the face
of his bed-fellow.

the professor, stiff1y.

"Oh," gasped the professor. Good

all night"
You did," admitted the young man..
"But wh-why," cried the professor,
"did you not awaken me?"
There were two reasons" replied
the young man. I'm the first place you

guest, this being my bed. In the sec

held out his hand.
Twenty minutes later they went down
to breakfast arm in arm.
