and as though she regarded, this ~
proof positive that she had estab-
lished her point, y Miss Merton
branched off upon another theme.
When Saturday night came Ros-
sitter proposed to Joe Becraft that
they should walk into Hintonville to-
gether. Before starting he ap-
preached Parmelee. into whose good
graces he had rapidly advanced by
the admirable way in which he had
performed his work. and requested
that he be paid the amount due him
for his labor.
Its not accordin' to our custom"
said the jovial manager, "but as long
as I'm pretty reasonably sure it isn't
whisky you're wantin' to spend it
for, 1 don't mind SEEM that you're
accommodated"
with such pair of shoes, the only
ones I possess" said Rossiter, point.
ing to his dilapidated footgear, sit
isn't very likely the moneyll go for
drink
Both men derived much pleasure
from their walk. They found the
streets of the little town bright
with purchasers and strollers come
in from the country, and in the shops
Rossiter saw a number of faces that
he recalled from his old college
days. After having hquidated the
small debt he owed Becraft, he in
vested in a pair of stout shoes at a
sale that CHANGED to be in progress,
and also in a cheap razor and few
toilet articles. He then had exactly
a dime remaining.
'Just enough for two beers!". he
exclaimed, pitching the little silver
disk into the air and catching it
as it descended.
Joe protested against his spending
his last cent, but Rossiter insisted
that it was ''his treat" so the two
went into the bar room of the Hin
tonville House, where the desired
beverage was speedily Forthcoming
AS Rossiter placed his empty glass
upon the bar bacchanalian college
ditty which he used occasionally to
roar through the streets with a few
choice and congenial spirits "a ditty
which embalmed the name of a for
mer proprietor of the Hintonville
House,, unrecalled for years, went
lifting through his brain
Down to Powers we will 60,
Let the lager freely flow.
Then go Keeling to and fro
Back to Alma Mater!'
1t had very rallish sound, but 1t had
never meant much more than the
natural outburst of the exuberance
of youth.
With the recollection of the college
song came the thought of the col
lege, and he decided that on the
morrow he would make pilgrimage
to the scenes of his student days.
Accordingly, Sunday morning, soon
after he had breakfasted, he slipped
away and set out. The autumn term
had not yet opened, and he knew he
should have the campus practically
to himself. Reaching Hintonville, he
left the village square behind, and
turned westward along the extensive
maple-shaded street that led to the
base of the hill on the crest of which
the college buildings were situated.
Upon the old stone bridge spanning
the swiftly flowing Oskenonto he
paused, as he had so often done be-
fore, to watch the dancing water,
the swaying willows, and the chang
ing lights and shadows. Then he
went on up the long, steep slope.
