rose and stealthily moved to a bench
directly in front of the clock.
He caught sight of the girl and
paused abruptly.
The girl was deliberately gazing in
a direction away from the clock, and
had assumed a pose calculated to
show at once the lines of her figure,
and the abstraction of her mind.

Slowly she forced her thoughts and
her eyes from the far distance, and

drew her neat eyebrows together,
then a smile of enlightenment brought
a dimple into play.

THE KENYON PINES or Raymond Benson at College, by Clarence B. Bur leigh Third and concluding volume of fRaymond Benson Series"; Illustrated by l.. J. Bridgman published by Lo- throp, Lee X Shepard Co.,, Boston, $l.oG.
 'Kenton College" is Bowdoin Col Iege beautiful in It's location and fam ous in it's history, where its author was graduated in 1887. Raymond Benson's athletic abilities insure him immediate and enduring prominence as a student, and the accounts of ath- letic contests will stir the blood of any one. But the book is far more than tale of these things; 1t is wonder ful picture of life at a smaller college, with all its fine, hard work, ''grinds, and triumphs. In it's pages the former college man may live over again his fraternity life, social occasions, and associations, all parts of life that Is as fixed in it's ways. as human nature itself, and is constantly being repeated as each unsophisticated Freshman class moves on through the succeeding years. The multitude of boys who are looking forward to college can find here a faithful description of much that they will encounter, while as a story it is we'll worth any ones time to read. It is, moreover, a book that rings true on every manly ques- tion.
