Why / hadn't thought OF 1t un'il
now. But they sent me the tickets.
They're worth $40 apiece. The letter

coach In Marshalls college and his
name was one to conjnre with.
Why, Marshall. you couldn't take
the time. could you?"
Business isn't very brisk this week.

every cent we've got In the bank"

n college boy" said Helen, Come down
. to earth. You know couldn't leave the

silly~~take a trip that would cost 5000,
Just 10 use $40 worth OF tickets"
But let me read you Fraser's letter"
Il don't want to hear Fraser's letter.
It's all TOO silly. To expect a grown
man 10 drop his work and rush East to
sec a foot ball game!"
Even then Marshall did not get angry
