come to learn of his being at the uni

Through one of our alumni, a DR..
Arnold Prince, of st. Louis. We have,
you understand, thirty-seyen chapters
in as many colleges over the country I;
that gives us large alumni organiza-
ton. Whenever one of them hears of
a promising boy who intends to enter
a school where Mu Beta Sigma func-
lions, it is his duty to inform the in
terested chapter about him."
"Have you any such chapter at
Aberdeen, where Jordan came from
originality"
mo, we aren't organized there"
Stanton returned "And of course, he
never joined any other fraternity at
Aberdeen; before we accepted him, we
made certain of that. Professional and
high school fraternities are inmate
rial. but student can belong to only
one undergraduate college fratern-
ity."
'And just who is Doctor Prince?"
Rankin wanted to know. what can
you tell me of him?"
Nothing at all, sir, beyond what
his letter contains" the president re-
piled. 1--WE can't know every brother
who ever graduated. But he writes
that he was educated at Hawthorne
university, in Fort Wayne, Ind, he
belongs to our Omicron chapter, there.
He must be comparatively young be-
cause he took his degree and finished
his courses only eight years ago."
The letter had been destroyed, RAN
kin,s next question disclosed, once its
contents were noted. But the au-
thor's address, If he desired it, could
be found in the fraternity's national
roster, which catalogued every living
brother of Mu Beta Sigma. The letter
had contained nothing, as far as Stan
ton could recall, to explain the extent
of Doctor Princes acquaintance with
the murdered boy. or the origin of his
volunteered information.
Before proceeding further, the de-
tective had Stanton obtain the physi-
clans address-Harker street, in st.
Louis. Then, he shifted the topic of
his inquiry.
"Now, l have a somewhat difficult
request to make" he announced i'm
pressively. "Consider it carefully be-
fore speaking, Mr.. Stanton. I want
your opinion of Jordan i. your i'm
preston of his nature and tempera-
ment. Give me a sort of character
sketch; 1 think l can rely on your
Judgment"
