And, strangely enough. Reds pre-
monition of the presence of an unseen
menace was not without foundation
in fact. 1t may be that this active
career in the underworld had devel-
oped in him that sixth sense of the
habitual thief which sometimes gives
him warning Of approaching dangers.
AS Red stood there fascinatingly
watching the rapid play Of Valentines
fingers the door leading into the mar
row hallway nOiselessly opened-open-
ed just enough to allow the sound Of
the scraping fingers to reach the ear
pressed against the crack between the
door and the jam. A few inches more
Of space and the face of George Doyle
appeared in the doorway.
AS the door on opening swung to-
ward the rear of the chamber toward
the vault. Doyle. shielded by it, was
enabled to put one foot over the sill
and stand half within the vault room.
Pressing himself close against the
door, he could watch in the darkened,
shadowy room the operations Of Red
Flanagan and Mr. Lee Randall, alias
Jimmy Valentine.
He saw the sheet Of sandpaper dut-
ter to the floor; be saw Valentine lick
his fingers with his tongue to ease the
burning pain that throbbed through
them; he saw Red Flanagan drop on
his knees and crouch against the door
Of the giant safe; he saw Valentine
step forward, seize the combination
with the tips of his fingers. press his
ear against the vault and gently. ca
ressingly, ever so gently. twirl the
shining nickeled knob of the combina-
ton
George Doyle had his dearest wish
gratified. At last be saw the great
Jimmy Valentine at work.

One of the fashionable east side
churches recently witnessed funny
incident at choir rehearsal. They
were preparing for the following Sun
day morning a beautiful selection. the
first words of which were. II am a
pilgrim" 1t so happened that the
music divided the word pilgrim and
made a pause after the syllable. The
effect was most amusing. The soprano
sang In a high key Il am pir' and
then stopped. The tenor acknowl-
edged that he was 'pil. and
when the bass came laundering in
with a like declaration. II am a Pill"
it was too much for the gravity OF
the singers, and they roared. No
amount Of practice could get them
past the fatal pause without an out
burst, and the piece had to be given
up.-Musical World.

junior class. the fifteen members of
the outgoing senior class making the
choice. Each senior is allotted his man
of the juniors and must find him in
the crowd at the tree and tap him on
the shoulder and give him the order
to go to his room. Followed by his
sponsor. he obeys. and what happens
at the room no one but the men of the
society knows. With shining face the
lad comes back later and is slapped
ON the shoulder and told. Coed work,

the spirit of Yale.
Only juniors room in Durfee hall.
On tap day an outsider is lucky who
has friend there. for a window is
prOscenium box for the play-the play
which is Il tragedy to all but forty-five
of the three hundred and odd juniors.
The windows of every story of the
graystone facade are crowded with Il
deeply interested audience. GriZzled
heads of old graduates mix with flow
cry hats of women. Every one is watch
ing every detail. every arrival. In
front of the hall are drive and room
for perhaps Il dozen carriages next the
fence-the famous fence of Yale
which rails the campus round. Just
inside it. at the northeast corner,
rises the tree. People stand up in the
carriages, women and men. The fence
is loaded with people, often standing,
too, to see that tree.
