"Well, the way it looks to me-" Fred
observed, 1--WE simply got to! From
what they tell me, the freshmen got
to do more than anybody. Every 9TH
er Friday night, it's all freshmen and
nothin' else. You get a postal card
on Monday morning in your mail, and
it says Assignment on it and-and-
then it's got written underneath what
you hat to do the next Friday night
-oration or debate, or maybe lust
read from some old book or something.
l guess we got to stand up there and
try, anyway"
"All right" said Ramsey. "If they
want me to commit suicide they can
send me one o. their ole Assignments
I won't need to commit suicide, though,
I guess. All I'll do, I'll just fall over
in a fit, and stay in it."
And, in truth, when he received his
first Assignment" one Monday morn
ing, a month later, he seemed in a
fair way to fulfill his prophecy. The
attention of his roommate, who sat
at a window of their study, was at
tracted by sounds of strangulation.
"What on earth's the NATTER, Ram
sey?'
"Look Look at this!"
Fred took the card and examined it
with an amazement gradually merg-
ing into a pleasure altogether too per-
ceptible:

Concluding his reading, which was
oral, the volatile Mitchell made use
of his voice in manner of heathenish
boisterousness, and presently reclined
upon a lounge to laugh the better. His
stricken comrade, meanwhile, recov-
cred so far as to pace the floor. I'm

Japan received the mandate for the
