To lounge dejectedly in his chair,
gazing pensively at the mantelpiece,
had become one of Bob's daily occu-
pations. Perhaps the white letters,
WELLESLEY, standing out con.
spicuously on a pennant in the center
had fascinated him. Perhaps the mere
knowledge that she had given it to
Tim made Fate seem less cruel.
Be that as it may, the Wellesley
pennant held the place Of honor in the
roon, the spot wherein the football
players heart had hitherto stood.
A long row of pretty faces reaching
across the wall told their own story
OF brief reign. And now, where each
in turn had stood, hung an inanimate
pennant
Tom was rudely recalled from
dreamland by knock at the door.

around here? The fellows are wait
ing"
He glanced about the room for
some explanation of Bob's evident
mental disturbance.
Hang football" was the unciyiI re-
sronse.
Ned vented his feelings by a whistle
OF surprise. After a minute he laid
hand on BObs shoulder.
whats the matter, old chap" he
asked. do you want those fellows to
wipe us off the face of the earth on
Saturday? One might think so from
the way you've played this fall. I'd
enggest that you were in love, but
hello!"
His eye fell on the pennant on the
mantel. where's her picture? Who
Is 1t now?"
That's the question-where is it?
She didn't give me one"
Bob's detected air was so unusual
as to cause Ned to look curiously at
him.
81 say, Bob, is your brain affected?"
he asked, half seriously
'.No;/I tell you, Ned, it's my heart.
I'm hard hit"
''Why don't you tell herr"
why don't you ride to the moon in
an auto?" Evidently there were rough
spots in Bob's temper.
"Come, Bob, what's it all about?"
Ned's expression was one of bewilder-
ment
