HYpNOTIzlNG Terry
BY JANE OSBORN.

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 it all
was that Terry was taking mini
mum course, and if she didn't pass
that philosophy examination it would
mean no degree and another year at
college-disgrace
Terrys voice trembled chaTmingIy
as she told Morton, and Morton's
| large heart beat fist and bravely as
he promised to help her out.
Terry had turned to her notebook,
only to find it in hopeless confusion.
/ She had asked some of the girls in
| the dormitory to help her, but they
were too busy to hear her. Doctor
! Dorkay's philosophy was a course at
! which even the bluestockings trem-
bled. How could Terry expect to do
| it 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 IL Terry's plight at
once. Each one was willing to help
her, although each one secretly felt
that help would be useless. AS a 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.
1t was too late So he, they-To2.
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. It
was against the rule for them to be
at the girls dormitory, quite as de-
faint for her to come to the Delta AL
pha house and equally 1awless for her
to be on the campus unchaperoned at
} that hour.
However, the three Delta Alpha
men led Terry to the secIusion 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 Terry's helpless
brains.
1t was one o'clock when Smith
turned the last page of his note book
and Terry, with cheeks flushed with
excitement and eyes heavy with sleep,
fairly staggered from the boathouse
to grope her way stealthily into her
dormitory corridor.
Il am so sleepy" she murmured as
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 your
little room and study four hours
more" Then as the three men start
ed back to the fraternity house, Nor
ton said:
What did a girl like Terry ever go
to college for, anyway"
Terry Bell took the examination
and so did her three devoted tutors
But Terry took it in a daze, upper
turbed and apparently unruf1ed.
Poor little girl" whispered Morton
!, to her as they made their way out OF
: the classroom to the campus "But
don't worry. Men never like girls thai
! are all brains. Tell you the truth,
; wouldn't care for a girl that could
pass that examination You are no
cut out for philosophy. You oughr

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