by asking for the Examiner the sem

announced his intention of going on
the stage. At least, here was sign
that William had some object in life
besides rising at IL In the morning
after, having provided a surprise for
the university faculty over night. It
would develop some sense of respon-
sibility and application In him, and
after he was tired of this plaything
he would turn in his maturity to the
serious business of life. Besides, the
senator had a great gamblers curiosi-

effervescing genius who was the scam
