CHAPTER ~.
Mr. Van Camp Makes a Call.


Aleck Van Camp turned from thu
clerks desk, rather relieved to nnt
that Hambleton had not yet made hi
appearance. Aleck had an errand or
his mind, and he reflected that jim
was apt tp be impetuous and reluc
taht to await another mans conve
nience; at least, Jim wouldn't Per
csive that another mans convenience
needed to be waited for; and Alecb
had no mind to announce this errand
from the housetops. It was not q
business that pertained, directly, o.
Their to the Sea Gull or to tho coming
cruise.
He made an uncommonly careful
toilet, discarding two neckties before
the operation was finished. When all
was done the cravat presented a
stuffed and warped appearance which
was not at all satisfying, even to
Alexis uncritical eye; but the tie was
the last of his supply and was, per-
haps, slightly better than none at all.
Dinner at the club was usually a
dull affair, and to Mr.. Van Camp, on
this Monday night, 1t seemed more
stupid than ever. The club had been
organized in the spirit of the English
clubs, with the unwritten bylaw of alb
solute and inviolable privacy for the
individual. No wild or woolly manners
ever entered those decorous precincts.
No Shaping on the shoulder, no hail
fellow greetings, no chance dinner
companionship ever dispelled the aw-
Aul penumbra of privacy that sur
rounded even the humblest member.
A mans eating and drinking, his COM
ing or going, his living or dying. were
matters only for club statistics, not
for personal inquiry or notice.
The result Of this habitual attitude
on the part Of the members of the club
and its servants was an atmosphere
In which a cataleptic fit would scarce
ly warrant unofficial interference;
much less would merely mawkish or
absent minded behavior attract atten-
ton. That was the function of the
club-to provide sanctuary for per-
sonal whims and idiosyncrasies; of
course, always within the boundaries
of the code.
On the evening in ~ sstion Mr.. Van
Camp did not actually become silly.
but his manner lacked the poise and
seriousness which sophisticated men
are wont to bring to the important
event of the day. He was as near being
nervous as Scotch-American Van
Camp could be: and at the same time
an unwonted flow Of life and warmth |
In his cool veins. He went 30 far as
TO make remark to the waiter which |
he meant for an affable joke, and then
wanted to kick the fellow for taking |
It so solemnly.
"You mind yourself, George, or they'll
make you abbot Of this monastery
yeti" said Aleck, an George helped
aim on with his evening coat.
YES, sir, thank you. sir" said
George.
He left word at the office that in
Ease any one called he was to be in
ormed that Mr.. Van Camp would re-
urn to the club for the night; then,
n his silk hat and generally shining
ogs, he set forth to make call. He
vas no stranger to New York, and
Usually he took his cities as they
.ame, with a matter-of-fact noncha-
snce. He would be as much at home

DEBATE IS TONIGHT
At UNIVERSITY
TEAM REPRESENTING THE UNI.
vERslTY WILL BATTLE WITH
TEAM FROM PULLMAN.

The minimum wage question will be
debated tonight In Assembly hall by a
team representing Washington State
college and a team from the University
Of Montana. This question is the same
one which has caused much interest
and excitement in several states in the
Union, and over which the senat in
Illinois caused the vice probe to be
made in Chicago. The men represent,
ing Montana have the affirmative side
of the question and are ready to make
a strong fight. This subject for col
lege debate is a new one. AS far as
can be learned it has beer used as a
debating subject by but two colleges
or universities west of the Mississippi.
The men who will attempt to bring
the championship of the northwest to
the University of Montana-and that
is the prize for the institution winning
this contest-have put man weary
weeks on the subject of the minimum
wage and are we'll prepared in every
department. G.. E. Watkins, on Mon
tana's team, is a man of much ex-
perience in the art of debating, hav-
ing twice represented Fargo college
in contests. He is a matured speaker,
having preached from the pulpit for
some time. He is at present engaged
in addressing congregations twice a
week in the Bitter Root valley. II. S.
Davis, the other member of the team,
has appeared on the platfrom in AS
Sembly hall as an opponent of the uni
Versity. He represented Bozeman in
the collegiate debate last year. The
coach of debating in he agricultural
college has proclaimed Davis as the
best man that ever represented any
institution in the state.
The principal thing needed now is
support, and if this is forthcoming it
will be the greatest possible help which
can be given the university. The time
for debate will be Is minutes to each
man and six minutes for rehuttal.
Those in charge declare that anyone
who enjoys a good, hot forensic bat
tie will not be disappointed by the fight
which will be staged in Assembly hall
tonight. The contest will start at $50.
Banquet.
Following the debate a banquet will
be held at the Palace hotel at which
the team from Washington State col
lege, composed of Lester Vincent and
George Crockett, will be the guests of
honor.
Singing on the steps" a university
CUSTOM, was held last evening. 1t was
in the nature of a rally for the debate
tonight. The students We're out in
force and songs and cheers for the
team We're given. Each of the debaters
and the coach addressed the meeting
and enthusiasm ran high.
