UNANIMOUS ACTION
 BY CLASS OF 1908
Lester Perrin of New Ha- ven is Chosen as Chair man of the Ivy
 Committee.

The senior clas of the academic de- partment of Yale last night by a unanimous vote turned down the honor system on the ground that the system proposed by the Yale faculty was not a true honor system. The class last year decided to have noth- ing further to do with the proposed system and the action last night was in a way in ratification of the former decision
 The honor system which the stu detns wanted, if they adopted any, was one in which they would be left entirely on their honor in the examin- ations, but there was a strong senti- ment against even this in that 1t left no way by which the vGolators of the system could be punished. The fac ulty too, were dissatisfied with the system for this reason, and proposed that their representatives have access to the examination rooms to see that the rules were being lived up to.

AS Mr.. Deane had said, an Apache does
not like to travel after nightfall, and when
they had proceeded two or three miles from
the still smoking house they went into camp.
After feasting to repletion off the good
things obtained in the pillage, they turned in
for the night.
tween two of the Chiricahaus, thongs being
passed from his bound wrists to the wrists of
his guards, so that it would be almost impos-
sible for him to make movement without
arousing them.
When everything was quiet Jeptha slowly
and carefully removed the blankets that
weighted down his arms and shoulders and
thrust his head, tortoise-like. out Of the heap.
Only small fire had been built, and all
that remained of it was few glowing en-
bers. But by their light he was able to lo-
cate his father and the guards.
The prospect was not cheering. He knew,
however. that what he did must be done that
