and I guess IL is as hard for me TO

The dean was figuring on the back
OF an envelope as Stanley Ashton
was talking 20 him.
Yes" he said. having finished his
little sum in division. There are
1913 students enrolled this year
about 400 girls and the rest men.

So the announcement was made.
and for the weeks that followed each
student Of the college went around
more bent on extracting the sum of
$37.S3 from his financial endOw

this co-educational institution were
not possessed OF an over-adequate
allowance-than on securing passing
grades in their class work. Dances.

side interests OF the cOllege-were

TO earn the allotted quota. The trOu-
BILE was they were all doing il at
once. Little efforts TO extract the
money from each other by backing
shoes, pressing clothes, darning
socks, etc. were rather useless, since
no student had the amount 10 pay

saving his funds for the quota. Fudge

quietly beside the young man In the
warm overcoat and allowed herself
to be carried beyond the street where

minutes, Margaret rang the doorbell.

and finally the bargain was struck.
Margaret stipulated that she should

she chose. She realized that most
of it would have TO be done after
lecture hours. and mayhap by the
light Of a lantern.
BY the aid of one of the men stu

have an excuse for lingering with

turned on all the hot water faucets on
