A moment later they faced the gray

FRIDAY. JANUARY q, 19lO.

Then began a round nf wild dis
sipatlon for the good old man. Trips
in the runabout, strolls through the
college buildings, baseball game
between the faculty and the college
team, luncheons and dinners and
breakfasts.
It was on the second day that
Uncle David said to Arthur Craig,
"See here. my boy. why should you

That's true" said Uncle David.
When It came to the evening Of
the reception Arthur couldn't help
feeling little perturbed. How would
Uncle David appear? There was no
question about his manners. The
old man had all the instincts Of a
born gentleman. But his clothes?
But the ancient travelling bags
contents were not so bad. Uncle
David, in a long-tailed black coat
with white waistcoat, looked like
an old-fashioned picture.

1t was a delightful ride. made es-
pecially SO by the enjoyment of the
old man. Arthur recognized num-
ber of people and he realized that
they looked at him curiously. No
doubt they were wondering who his
friend was. Arthur flushed
a little at the thought. He dimly
wondered if Uncle David had dark
SUR of clothes in his bag. Perhaps
he was foolish to assume charge of
this simple old man.
Then he braced up suddenly and
took no heed Of the staring faces. He
had given his word that he would
take charge of Uncle David.
They drew up in front of the an
cient dormitory and Arthur took
Uncle David to his rooms and urged |
him to make himself al home.
Uncle David demurred little, but
Arthur overruled his objections. It
was all understood between his friend
John and himself.
Uncle David was his guest and he
must resign himself to his fate.
And Sheldon Thorne had looked |
in while they were talking, and stared
a little at Uncle David, and then
backed out again.
Arthur knew that It would be at
once reported that he was entertain
ing farmer But what did he care
for that? At least what should he
care for that? Besides, he liked
Uncle David and he was sure Uncle
David liked him.

these are for the protection OF the
