HyPNOTIzING TERRY
BY JANE OSBORN.

ulStTeSS, anu, ike Terry, Sne nuu put |
off the dreadful hour as late as she |
could, and then, again like Terry. she |
had come to the Delta Alpha men to |
help her out.
Terry ought never to have taken |
that philosophy course, and Morton
Marine told her so over the phone.
But that didn't help matters then
Just twelve hours before the examina-
ton came off. The worst of 1t all
was that Terry was taking a mini
mum course, and If she didn't pass
that philosophy examination ii would
mean no degree and another year at
college-disgrace.
Terrys voice trembled charmingly
as she told Morton, and Morton's
large heart beat fast and bsavely as
he promised to help her out.
Terry had turned to her notebook,
only to find 1t in hopeless confusion.
She had asked some of the girls in
the dormitory to help her, but they
we're too busy to hear her Doctor
Dorkay's philosophy was course at
which even the bluestockings trem-
bled. How could Terry expect to do
1t all the last day, without the books
and without good notes-pretty little
/ light-hearted Terry?
So she telephoned to the Delta AL
pha house and asked whether she
might borrow one of the mems note
! books-just for an hour.
A half dozen Delta Alpha men
were interested in Terry's plight at
once. Each one was willing to help
her, although each one secretly felt
that help would be useless. AS re-
suit of this general sympathy Tom
| Hinton, Leland Smith and Morton
Marine awaited Terry beneath the
campus elms at the appointed minute.
Terry came creeping through the
shadow, hatless and heavily coated
Morton was the spokesman. Mere
work by herself would do no good
II was too late. So he. they-Tom,
Leland and Morton-had decided to
help her. to tutor her at the eleventh
hour, although each man ought to
have been studying for himself. 1t
was against the rule for them to be
at the girls dormitory, quite as de-
fiant for her to come to the Delta Al
pha house and equally lawless for her
to be on the campus unchaperoned at
that hour.
However. the three Delta Alpha
men led Terry to the seclusion of a
boathouse on the lake. Morton had
the key and he had also remembered
to bring candles for the lantern
Terry sat on the only chair Smith
read the notes, Hinton read the refer
ences TO the text books and Morton
applied the information as IL actually
ramming It into Terrys helpless
brains.
It was one o'clock when Smith
turned the last page of his note boob
and Terry, with cheeks flushed will
excitement and eyes heavy with sleep
fairly staggered from the boathoust
J to grope her way stealthily into hei
dormitory corridor.
81 am so sleepy" she murmured al
she said good night to the men.
mo sleep for you, young lady,
warned Morton. You have only be
gun to work. Your case is hopeless
; but it is up to you to go into you
little room and study four hours
more" Then as the three men start
cd back to the fraternity house, Nor
ton said:
"What did a girl like Terry ever g,
to college for, anyway"
Terry Bell took the examination
and SO did her three devoted tutors
But Terry took it in daze, upper
turbed and apparently unrufiled.
Poor little girl" whispered Morton
to her as they made their way out o
, the classroom to the campus. "Bu
, don't worry Men never like girls tina
are all brains. Tell you the truth,
wouldn't care for a girl that coul

WHAT" coaxed Terry with tina
teasing, helpless tone of hers.

That is the kind Of girl you are"

I Alpha men were spending their las

the summer.

Leland Smith. "The news about TIE
