Several years ago the two boys of
whom 1 shall write attended a certain
college in Illinois. One was an Albanian,
who studied art exclusively, the other. an
Illinois boy, who devoted Ms time to law.
Harvey, the Albanian, and Guy, the
Illinoisian, preferred boarding mouse
close by the college to the dormitory, so
established themselves there-the only
gentlemen in a houseful of girls. or
course they found it highly entertaining,
ana about thanksgiving day prepared to
give the girls glorious" time. SO, the
night before that great festival they TOOK
tea down town at a restaurant, and after
tea went out and purchased two lin
burger cheeses and started" for home.
They took care, however, that 1t was
quite late by the time they reached there.
AS they passed the college, only one lone,
low light was visible in the dormitory
Now Harvey. stuff every key hole and
crack you can find" whispered Guy when
once inside the front door. The house
was dark and It's occupants all asleep, so
they set 20 work with a vengeance, ana
soon had everything stuffed and perfumed
with limburgher cheese. Then they
turned in themselves.
BY morning the house was filled with
the odor and all the girls came down with
handkerchiefs pressed closely to their
noses, and smiling was heard on every
SIDE. But the boys look no hOtACC Va lAiS
odor at ALL and when the landlady, who,
poor soul, was nearly distracted, asked
them if they had noticed that peculiar
odor, they Immediately replied: why no,
we haven't noticed it," and off they went
to the college.
Harvey had no sooner seated himself
at his easel, when a student just in front
of him set upon his easel picture OF
two boys, hurrying home in the dead OF
night and each with a limburger cheese
under his arm. Harvey saw 1t, and so
did the girls, who boarded at the same
house he did. But he took no apparent
notice of it, and worked along very
steadily, until for some reason or other
he looked around and discovered that his
fair fellow boarders had lelt the art
room. Something's up" he mumbled to
himself. IT must tell Guy" and he step
ped off to find his chum.
Let's go home. Guy, and see what's
up?' he suggested, on finding that young
man standing on the steps of the law
building whistling. II say so, too, for
I've seen everyone Of our girls go towards
the house. Wen have some fun, so come
on" and they started home too.
"why, Guy, you crazy, this is Thanks
giving day and we don't have to work
Only those of us who had a little extra
to do came over this morning. OF course
that's why the girls have all gone home"
insisted Harvey.
you'll see there are more reasons than
one, my friend" Guy answered, as he
pointed to the baggage wagon standing
in front of their house.
"Why Guy, you don't mean to ses' they
are moving out?" gasped the astonished
boy.
That's what I did it for. Do you sup
pose 1 would have wasted my money on
a limburger cheese for nothing?"

the baggage man coming down the steps
with a trunk, and the landlady sitting in
the hall weeping. So to avoid her, they
slipped around the house, to the kitchen,
and up the back stairs to their own
room. Having locked the door, they pull
ed off their coats and Guy rolled ciga-
rette as he sat down in an easy chair
and put his feet in the open window.
why don't you put down that win
dow?" began Harvey.
Just then a knock was heard at the door.
Harvey turned to open the door, as
