for little moment again faced his
fellowmen. No one was looking at
him; everybody except MiIla had other
things to do.
Having sneezed involuntarily, he
added a spell of coughing for which
there was no necessity. II guess /
must been wrong" he muttered thickly.
"What about, Ramsey?
about it's bein' squirrel" With
infinite timidity he turned his head
and encountered gaze so soft. so hal
lowed, that 1t Disconnected him, and
he dropped a "drumstick' of fried
chicken, well dotted with ants, from
his plate. Scarlet he picked 1t up, but
did not eat 1t. For the first time In
his life he felt that eating fried chick
en- held In the fingers was not TO be
thought of. He replaced the drum
stick upon HIS plate and allowed 1t
to remain there untouched, In spite OF
great hunger for 1t.
Having looked down, he now found
difficulty In looking up, but gazed
steadily at his plate, and into this
limited circle Of vision came Miila's
delicate and rosy fingers, bearing
gift. "There," she said in mothe1y
little voice. "It's tomato mayonnaise
sandwich and l made II myself.
want you to eat 1t, Ramsey"
His own fingers approached tremu-
ousness as he accepted the thick sand
wich from. her and conveyed 1t to his
mouth. A moment later his soul filed
with horror, for squirt Of mayonnaise
dressing had caused a catastrophe the
scene Of which occupied no inconsider-
able area OF hts right cheek, which
was the cheek toward MIlla. He
CROPPED wretchedly for his handker-
chief but could not find 1t; he had lost
It. Sudden death would have been re-
lief; he was sure that after such gro
tesquerie Milla could never bear to
have anything more to do with him !;
he was ruined.
In his anguish he felt paper nap
kin pressed gently into his hand; a
soft voice said In his ear. wipe 1t Off
with this, Ramsey. Nobody's notic-

So this incredibly charitable creature
was still able to be his friend, even
after seeing him mayoEnaised Hum

He e.ghed his first sigh Of inexpress-

of President Clapp

Special to The Tribune.
Missoula. April 27.-The Hobo club
at the state university is a thing Of
the past. President c. HI. Clapp has
decreed that it must cease to exist,
after flo%urishing for many years. To
be eligible, prospective members had
to prove that they had beat their way
LOCO miles or more. by rods. by blind
baggage. by gondola or box car. Foot
ball and other athletic events attracted
many students who did not have the
price of a fare to Pullman, Moscow,
Seattle or Bozeman.
Ten university girls began their ap-
premiership last fall by cumming their
way to the Armistiee day football game
at Bozeman. the round trip netting
them 430 miles towards the necessary
LOCO. Now that the order is banned,
all that perfectly good mileage is
wasted.
