Helen Holmes has taken part In 20
many railroad photo-plays that she

and it's very deceptive"
I'm Belle and she's Lucy"
The scamp put up his lips to each
girl in turn for a ~cousinly kiss, which
was granted without conjunction
Then he led the way to his auto stand
ing outside the station. They all step
ped in. the two girls on the real seats.
and Billy took them to a boarding
house where no students resided. for
that would have been dangerous to his
identity. Furthermore. he was not
to the two old maids who kept
it and unblushingly gave his name as
Pomeroy. Leaving the
young ladies there till after luncheon.
he returned to his room. where he
found a friend. Tom Oglethorpe. in the
act of filing a pipe. 1t had occurred
to Billy that one girl would be far
more companionabIe than two. so he
let Tom into the secret and invited him
to turn a party of three into M of
Four. Tom was nothing loath and
agreed to join the party for al inspec-
ton Of cottage buildings in the after
noon. to be followed by an automobile
ride.
Never was a ~pleasanter visit made
by two young ladies or enjoyed more
by two young men than on this occa-
sion. The girls were shown the chap
ell. the art building, the gymnasium
and this and that and the other hall
donated by alumni. most Of whom had
finished the careers for which the col
lege had prepared them and gone to
their long homes. There was q class
reception to attend here. a debating
match there, and it seemed that some
thing had been provided every day fof
the visitors entertainment.
Now. it so happened that the real
Alec Pomeroy. who was preparing
himself for an examination in comic
sections. got = brand new practical idea
into his head. wouldn't it be q good
scheme" he unused. for me to apply
these principles of the ellipse, the parab-
ola and the hyperbole to my twirling?
Perhaps an hours practice with a ball
would not only rest me, but would
help me to catch on to the principles
involved. would understand better
the reasons for my curves, and it
would help me in my exams"
Throwing down his books. he betook
himself to a shed erected for practice
in twirling and began to throw the
ball at a hypothetical batsman set up
for the purpose. While doing 80 he
heard a voice behind him:
This is the place where our base
ball pitchers learn to do the drop the
'incurve' and other stunts that 60 to
make a baseball twirler."
Looking around, Mr.. Pomeroy saw
his representative, Billy Chandler,
Tom Oglethorpe and his two cousins,
the girls. staring at him with the eyes
Of sightseers. Billy continued his re-
marks with the information of a Roman
guide expatiating on the arch Of IT.
tus:
This gentleman now practicing is
our principal twirler. Twirlers are Sc
lected for having their brains in their
shoulders, football men for their
brains being located in their legs. You
see before you Mr.. William Chandler.
Of whom great things are expected
during the coming baseball season
from the fact that he studies comic
sections solely with the view to un-
derstanding the curves that will ena-
bic him to put a ball where he likes.
Step this way. MI. Chandler. I wish
to present you to my cousins"
Alec Pomeroy ceased his practice and
numbered shamefacedly to the party.
he was in trousers and sweater, and
