The other might the first junior
cotiilOn took place at SheFry's but no

almost universal desire OF the young

TO be sure. Mayor Fitzgerald Of
Boston recently announced that "

Of the halls Of that city Il would be

Personally I do not believe the

recent favorltes. u lends itself to
freedom Of movement and a certain
romping tendency common among
young people However. when Il Ia

directly around the shoulders Of the

Hello! What's that"

Hello! What's that?"
Startled out of his Gargantuan
slumber by the revolver's loud report,
Howard sat up with a jump and
rubbed his eyes. On the other side
of the screen, concealed from his OBJ
servation, there was a heavy crash of
a body falling with a chair-then all
was quiet.
Scared, not knowing where he was,
Howard jumped to his feet. For a
moment he stood still, trying to col
lect his senses. 1t was too dark to
discern anything plainly, but he could
dimly make out outlines of aesthetic
furniture and bibelots. All he re-
membered now! He was in Under
woods apartment.
Rubbing his eyes, he tried to recall
how he came there, and slowly his be-
fuddled brain began to work. He re-
membered that he needed $4,000, and
that he had called on Robert Under
wood to try and borrow the money.
Yes, he recalled that perfectly well.
Then he and Underwood got drinking
and talking, and he had fallen asleep.
