And III leave it to you if it didn't look that way,
with the Fiddler not only the best football man IN
the school, but the one hope, if fororn one OF the
Tads' existence laid up with spralned ankle!
Strong men have sobbed aloud over less than this.
1t was mournful lot of Tads that called on the
Fiddler in the sickroom that evening. He was IN
awful pain from his ankle and couldn say much ;
but he knew how sympath1zed with HIM by the
way we hung around his bed till Mrs Lines the nurse
and Doc Wright fired us all out. But before went
the Fiddler pulled me down SO he could Whisper TO
me, and said: - W

my's rules, and it's been getting harder and harder
to keep straight. For instance, | was out on the
parade ground the other day examining that old
revolutionary cannon. I'm interested in relics and
it kind of hit good one. ust then Hylands
came along and me examining it.
Hello, McVeigh! said he What you look

she d stand charge of powder?'
Why, no. Mr.. Hylands' said |, and | wasn't.
Why?

of course this ankle business takes that temptation
away from me, and as IN going to be laid up cou-
pie of weeks anyway think I'll be safe; that is, if L
don't happen to hear about lot OF rules governing
this S1CkrOOm.
WELL the Fiddler didn't find out about any sick
w room rules till the last day he was IN there,
and then he hobbled around on Crutches, he hap
pened to find the list printed on card on the closet
door. There rules about reading IN bed, rules
about smoking (Of cOurse rules about this and that.
And they made the Fiddler so nervous that he sent
for in a hurry.
Get EN- to let me GO to my own room quick,
said he, or it'll all be off There's rule that 1T

it out I'm to shut the DOORS open the drafts,

We got them to let the Fiddler go to his that
night; but it decided that he should bunk IN

the Upper Tower was, where he had been before his
accident Besides, | was pretty good IN my studies,
and as the Fiddler had missed many recitations

liked the arrangement at first; but after few days
had to go to Buck with kick. 1t happened this
way:
After the first night the Fiddler began to get
nervous and | could see there was something on his
mind Finally asked him if it the cannon.
No, Yankee said he; but just the same wish
YOU hadn't mentioned her to me- No. it's something
different | understand there's strict rule against
water throwing IN the halls.
There certainly is said 1. Last year of
the fellows got lot of squeegees, and we used to
have some dandy water fights night; but after
Dudley Root got pneumonia from going to sleep in
his soaking nghtgown rather than let the in
charge know he had got wet Badly put stricter rule
against it, and made it twenty-four marks for any
one caught

with deep sigh, IN try to resist the temptation
for the good of the Tads.
THAT night though, he was very restless. Finally
he said, Yankee, you asleep2'

Then get up and hand ME one of my crutches,'
said he.
What for?" | asked.

him a nice duckng. Even with my bum ankle

Don't you try it" said |. You'll get caught
sure, and then what'll become of that Good Bow
medal"
Gee" said the Fiddler, getting back into bed
that's so. Well. | sha'n't be able to sleep if Billy
doesn't get his bath. that's all; I'll get up to-
morrow cranky and cross, and probably break half
dozen rules before the days done-and get a dozen

Yankee, YOU don't want that to happen, do your"

Well, saw there was nothing else to do; so | got
up sneaked across the hall with the water pitcher,
lifted up Billy Pearson bed clothes and gave IT to
him. You never heard such a yell IN Your lite /

pitcher back the washstand at the same time
don't remember. But when Badly made an IL
spection everything looked all right and he never
found out who did it. But it was narrow squeak
THE next night the Fiddler couldn sleep again
and, with misgivings IN my heart ! asked him
what it was this time. / thought navbe he would
want to set fire to the building something ike

You have never thought that liked to destroy
