Getting Acquainted.

Harold Case mounted the stairs Of his
boarding house TO the little hall room

from home and he was lonesome and
maybe just a little homcsick: for he had
come all the way from California to
attend school at Lowell Though he was
poor boy, he had never had TO look
out for himself before.
Perhaps his room-there was only one
small one-helped TO make him lonesome.
meals which Mrs. Malcolm served her
student boarders were good. but this
was Harold's first white winter. He had
lived all OF his eighteen years in the
balmy climate Of the Golden state. and
he missed the warm sun and the bright
green OF the orange leaves and the yell
low fruit which he had been used TO
back home. and he hadn't got accus-
toned TO wearing overcoat and rubbers
yet. as they did every day here In the
east.

OF $500 in currency while on his way to

in the world. and he also had an Idea
that his boy would add something TO the
fame of Lowell one way or the other.
Was to Pay Back Money.

was that after he got ont of school and
began TO earn money Harold was 10 pay
back this college money, and so while
there was enough 10 be fairly comfort
able for his first year. the young fel-
low always kept in mind the fact that
he was In a way living on borrowed
money. and that the less he spent the
smaller the amount would be to pay
back.
For this reason he had secured room
in a somewhat cheaper and quietcr part
OF town. some distance away from the
campus. instead OF taking up his quar-
tors In one OF the students halls. and
this fact also and because he was in a
house with no other students served TO
keep him from making friends as easily
as he might If ho had been living
where there were n lot of other fellows
he would not have been so lonesome.
and the boys at Lowell would have
known sooner what grand fellow he
was.

surprise as there had been noticeable
