IL probably will be pushed more vigor-

I.aurium entertained tho frcmen OF

generally conceded TO have been one Of

that he had left Yale, and when asked
about his future plans talked vaguely
of going in for art. His matter was
frigid and nervous-the attitude of
the man who fears he may be ap-
preached for small loan. He was
evidently well aware of the change in

Howard suddenly remembered loan
of $3.50 which Underwood had never

learned that he occupied apartments
at the exclusive and expensive AS

style. He went there determined to
see him and demand his money, but
the card always came back mot at

Underwood had always been a mys-
terry to Howard. He knew him to be
an inveterate gambler and a man en-
tirely without principle. No one knew
who his family were or where he
came from. His source of income,
too, was always puzzle. At college
he was always hard up, borrowing
right and left and forgetting to pay,
yet he always succeeded in living on
the fat of the land. His apartments

one at college used to talk about 1t.
One night Underwood invited All his
classmates to his rooms and made him
cut up all kinds Of capers. He at first
refused, point blank-but Underwood
got up and, standing directly In front
of him, gazed steadily into his eyes.
Again he commanded him to do these
ridiculous, degrading things, Howard
felt himself weakening. He was sud
denly seized with the feeling that he
must obey. Amid roars Of laughter
he recited the entire alphabet stand
ing on one leg, he crowed like q
rooster, he hoped like q toad, and
he crawled abjectly on his belly like
a snake. One of the fellows told him
afterward that he had been hyp-

as a good joke. but now he came to
think of it. perhaps it was true. Pos

was glad to be rid of Underwood and
his uncanny influence.
The train stopped with jerk at his
station and Howard rode down In the
elevator to the street. Crossing Eighth
avenue, he was going straight home
when suddenly he halted. The glitter
and tempting array of bottles in a
corner saloon window tempted him.
He suddenly felt that if there was one
thing he needed in the world above
all others it was another drink. True,
he had had more than enough already

out and entertained lavishly. He was
not identified with any particular bust

lege he became interested in art. He
frequented the important art sales
and soon got his name in the news

His apartment was literally museum
