THE news Of Kens fight with Orkney was
soon known all over school, for the young
boys who had seen it were not slow to sing the
praises Of their champion. Ken became the
idol of the lower school, and everywhere his
popularity rose higher and higher Monk
warmly praised his roommate for defending
Carrots against Griney, but Ken had ex-
pected, he ended the praise with warning
Things are still coming your way roomie."
he said soberiy. II don't want to croak but
remember that some day the breaks will change
Then you mustn't fold up and quit. I hope
you won't"
Ken laughed. The applause of the school was
ringing in his ears. and he loved applause. He
bad always had it, and it stimulated him to
more and greater accomplishments.
This was wildly shown in the next basket
ball game on the Faraday schedule when the
team journeyed away from home to play Custer
Military. Ken started the game at center and
he was the darling of all the Faraday rooters
from the first tip-on. Spurred on by their
cheers he gave another exhibition of beautiful
basket ball. He was all over the floor and his
shooting was a marvel of accuracy. During
the game he accounted for more than half of
Faraday's total points, and was the main reason
for its winning a one-sided victory with q
score of 43 to 81
The students now began to have visions of an
indicated season, and Ken's name was on
everybody's lips. The newspaper in the town
near where the academy was located always
wrote up the games in lengthy fashion, and the
praises OF the sports writers were sweet to Ken.
The papers began to talk of what college he
would go to when he had finished at the
academy in another year. and predicted that
several universities would be after him before
long.
Then basket ball was forgotten for a time
under the stress of examination week. Kens
lessons always came so easy to him that he
worried little the tests, but he was not
foolish enough to face them without studying
He passed them all with flying coors, and as
the end of the week approached he had only
his history examination left to take.
The examination was held on Thursday after
noon On the same day Monk was to face his
chemistry test, and the two roommates wished
each other luck as they walked to Henley Hail.
which housed the classrooms. Then they parted
and Ken climbed to the second floor, where his
examination was to be given The instructor
had not yet arrived, and the students were
clustered about the door. Ken, as he joined
them, passed close to Orkney, who had failed
IN the course the year before and was repeat
ing it. The basket ball captain glared at him,
but never uttered a word
Then the instructor came, gave them the
questions, and departed. Faraday used the
honor system. and nobody watched the boys as
they took their tests. But cheating was such
a disgrace that any dishonesty was almost
unheard Of, and the boy who "cribbed" could
be sure that he would be severely punished by
his fellow students who formed the honor
council.
Ken looked the questions over, and smiled
with satisfaction. He would knock this one for
a loop! He started to write, and for time
worked busily. Then he misspelled q word.
