 "Well, here it isn't midyear Exams yet, and the good ole class of Nineteen. Eighteen's already lost a member" said Fred Mitchell. "I guess we can bear the break-upi"
 "T guess sO," Ramsey assented. ''That Linski might just as well stayed here. though"
 "WhyT"
 "He couldn't do any harm here. He'll probTy get more people to listen to him in cities where there's so many new immigrants and all such that don't know anything, comin' in all the time."
 "Oh, we'll" said Fred. "What do we care what happens to Chicago Come on, let's behave real wild, and go on over to the 'Teria and get us couple of egg sandwiches and sass- prilly."
