Gazukes could only guess at what he
meant.
A trio behind the footlights was
waiting expectantly for an introduce

at first was quietly waving his baton
and indicating for the first violin to
commence, then looked angrily at him
and nodded his head wildly to go on.
People were surprised. Although

All this had taken but a few mo-

eternity to the men who occupied the
entire second row. Already one of
the chorus girls was 'on," and they be-
gan to fear the partial obstruction of
the persons in the front row would
not be enough to shield them from the

the millionaire, who seemed
tC be renewing his youth, sat chatting
excitedly with the inventor and a
party Of friends. 1t seems that the
Hon. Gazukes had recently been forced,
through practical joke on himself,
to become interested in this sound alb
sorber and to realize that it had a va
riety of possibilities, for his friend.
Faxon, the inventor, had lain in wait
for him one day by the side of a. build
ing. He had seen the millionaire COM
ing toward him, earnestly engaged in
conversation, and wishing to demon
strate his invention, he had quickly
sprung upon barrel and, as quickly,
he had set the absorber in rapid vi
bration, so as to disturb the atmo-
sphere before the faces of the gentle
men. Neither was able to hear the
other and after much CONSERVATION
Faxon, with twinkle in his eye, con-
fronted them.
The millionaire then became anxious
to try it on a crowd, and had secured
seats for his friends in little groups
about the stadium, all Of them being
located within the Yale cheering line.
"Little do people about us know
what we have on our minds" he was
saying.
They were happily expectant and
laughed as the old gentleman added:

each one of the 80 men in the party

This invention was simply a circu-

something like a flattened bowl. The

the sound waves assembled in the
BOWL. For, as the inventor argued, we
cannot prevent the creation of noises,
but we can in a great measure stop
them from annoying us.
Not caring to attract attention, the
men had hooked the plates across their
inner coats at the chest, hanging
overcoat sleeve holes, and allowing the
flaps of their coats to hang out and
Eide them from the side view. The
batteries which were to set the fans
in motion were in an inner pocket OF
each coat.
Harvard rOoters were busy, alter
nately with Yale's. The game stood
so for Harvard at the first half. Bands
were playing and college songs had
heen sung. Red and blue flags and
banners were waved in the spirit of
the game of the season. The women,
whose costumes displayed FREEDOM
inantly the cOlOrs of their respective
teams, lent a gayety to the scene.
The Crimson had emitted in one
roar 4Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Rah

Young men. swinging their arms to
get the Ellis to yell together, looked in

there was no response. No one had
