in his trembling hands and looked
at them side by side; then be let
them fall nervelessly to the rug at
his feet, looking up at the handsome
face OF the man standing above him
with something like terror in his
eyes. There was long silence.
"So--you're using this-to save

He never finished his sentence.
The Fortune Hunter had crossed

standing over him with clenched
fists.
"Say any more and I'll break ev-

Tommy looked malieiously across at
the Fortune Hunter. Hasn't any
one called TO see either OF us?' he
asked with sarcasm. The Fortune
Hunter made no answer This was
the opportunity he had wanted; he
went into the hall, took his hat and
coat from the rack. and let himself
out OF the front door.
He could hear voices from the
study as he passed. but he hardly

put his hat down on a chair, and
shut the door behind him.

The Fortune Hunter was standing
by the fire, his hands in his coat

First Of all, I've come to ask

OLD STUDENTS MEET FOR
G|v|NG VIEWS TO THE new

Miss Permeal French, dean OF
women, University of Idaho, following
her reception to old and new students
at Nampa and Caldwell has been hold
ing conferences in the capital city, ac-
cording to advices received here,
Monday. Her mission is to encourage
all who wish to have the benefits of
a university education and to inter-
view the mothers on the advantages,
the costs, and relative expenses while
in Moscow.
The reports in the out of town news
papers where Miss French visited
make mention of the social life which
is a feature of the campus and is
under the supervision of the faculty Of
the university. Social affairs, she is
quoted as saying, are confined to the
university precincts. Another matter
is the advice given by Miss French
on simplicity in dress obviating the
necessity of an elaborate wardrobe
According to reports on the recep-
tions held at Boise the students seen
and the prospective students have
been assured that the latter will be
made to feel at home when they ar
rive having met with the former who
have shown them what they think of
their alma mater.
