VIM. Nyles Brookes, Of the Brookeses
of Massachusetts, was one of the up
per ten at Harvard College, and a
young man with a family reputation
to sustain.
Although possessed of a fair share of
brains and an unlimited allowance, he
found that sustaining this reputation
from a scholarly standpoint was a task
not at all to his liking. He was well
able to perform his part in society, but
when it came to facing the ordeal of
examination-that was another matter
altogether.
He had been dropped" in his fresh
man year and had only attained the
dignities of a junior with the help of
the best coaches that money could pro-
cure. But now, with just two weeks
before the finals, Morley, who had been
his salvation in taking previous exam
nations, was stricken with typhoid
fever, and his last. hope was gone.
He had, indeed, called in several 9TH
er tutors, but they had all objected so
strongly to the arbitrary methods i'm
posed by him upon them that they had
all departed sooner or. later in wrath.
So that things were in serious way.
.'Confound Morley, anyway" said
Brookes to his room mate. II simply
can't get through without him, and
now he has typhoid just when 1 need
him most. Ny father will stand almost
anything, so long as l pass. my exam
nations. but if there is one thing the
governor is sore on, 1t is the chance
of my disgracing the family,as he says,
Hang the family"
"Oh, come off, Billy. You will pull
through somehow-you always have
Why don't you hustle round and get
another tutor like Morley? He can't
be the only one who can make an inn
preston on your wooden head. If you
would really work for a week you
would get through without him or any
body else"
Jack Devon picked up the Grim
son. Now here is Jackson's ad."
Why don't you try him."

There, Billy, why don't you look
that up? See you later, old man; I'm
going over to Thurston's. Don't work
too hard" and lodging a book that
was thrown at him he whistled for
the dog and sauntered out.
Left alone. Billy paced up and down
the room, his hands in his pockets and
a frown on ms face. After a while he
picked up the Crimson and read the adj
