THE honor council held It's meeting in regard
to Kens case ON the following day. with
Ken appearing to give what defense he could.
The council was composed Of the four class
presidents and three other leaders in school af-
fairs, and TO them Ken protested his innocence.
He told them how he had happened to find the
paper In his pocket, and denied any knowledge
Of it.
But how was he to explain the fact that the
crib" was typed with the green ribbon that
he alone used? He replied TO- their questions
that nobody, to his knowledge had used his
machine during the past week. The evidence
against him vas complete, but considering that
1t was his first o6ense,- the council made the
punishment lighter than 1t might otherwise have
been. Even so, it was very severe. Ken was put
on two weeks Of Isolation" during which
time nobody could speak to him except instruc-
tors in the class room, the members of the bas-'
ket ball team when necessary and his own room
mate within the room. In addition. the crib
tnat ne had used was to be posted on the school
bulletin board where everybody could see it.
After he heard the sentence, Ken returned to
his room, his whole world tumbled about his
ears. To Monk he poured out the story of the
trial and its result
Pretty Stin," said Monk soberly. But IL
might have been worse. The honor council can
recommend q fellow for expulsion, you know"
I'D just as soon be expelled as have this
punishment" Ken groAned Think Of it.
Monk. I'm in absolute disgraceI Nobody can
tax TO me. I'm an outcast-a leperi And you
know as well Is do that I'm innocent, Monk
somebody framed this on me, just to get me In
trouble"
right" agreed Monk emphaticallv. "Rut
how was it done? III swear nobody could have
got to your typewriter and written that crib
And how was it planted in your pocket?"
on, don't know" groaned Ken. Honestly
for 10 cents I'd quit school"
Monk got quietly to his feet walked over tn
Ken, and grtpped his shoulder. Nov look here
rOOnie," he said sternly, don't say anything
like that again. Understand? You mustn't
be gutter. Remember what I've said about
getting some tough luck, and standing up un-
der 1t. You 60 like q whirlwind when every
body is pulling for you. Now you've got to
show that you don't quit cold when they are
Missing instead OF cheering. These two weeks
win be bad. but you1l pull through them"
ut won't be just two weeks" said Ken bit
terly. IN never live this Gown unless I'm
proved innocent"
And it was just as bad as he feared It would
be. To boy who was accustomed to constant
praise and applause, his new position was
agony. He dreaded classes, where he felt the
disappearing eyes Of his former friends upon
him. Basket ball practice was torture, and his
game went to pieces. And the eternal silence.
with nobody ever speaking to him, was almost
more than he could bear.
On Saturday night Faraday played Wilson
Prep and It had been taken as o matter of
course that Faraday would win by a big score
