Joined him, taking his stand by the
fireplace. Palmer seated himself on
the sofa. Though still unruly, his red
hair was no longer unkempt; sober
and alert, an intelligent smile on his
pleasant face made him different lad
from the wreck Of the previous night.

smile faded. "What gets me Is that
everybody tells me l was drugged-
and with knockout drops" he added
wonderingly. Il can't see how that's
possible. The only fellow with me or
anywhere near me last night is
friend of mine; it's ridiculous to think
he'd do something like that" He
turned to the president for support.

times in my room"

dictate his thrill on hearing the name,

was still calm. "And that is why I'd

he asked.
By few questions, he discovered
the extent and duration of the boys
association with Buckley. He had met
Palmer at the social club directed by
the university for its students, and en-
gagged him in a few billiard games.
And In February, when the fraternity

posed him as candidate-though I'M

example in sophistication and fast liv-

get him into JAM"
His entire natural attitude moved
the detective to set his mind at ease.
"You will have no responsibility at
ALL" he promised persuasively, Il can
learn the same facts from the Aber-
deem authorities; and they will have
to confirm them, anyhow. So it won't
be necessary for you ever to appear In
the case"
With this assurance, Randall began
an account of the dead boys feud with
Buckley. Though a small institution,
Aberdeen maintained separate sleeping
quarters for it's first-year men; and
as at other colleges, it was the system
there to place upper classmen as mon
itors in charge of them. While first
year student, Jordan had served as
class secretary; which was probably
why he was selected as monitor dur
ing his second term the past year. He
had a proctor's duties-to maintain
order among the rooms he controlled,
inform the proper medical agency Of
illness among the boys and advise
them when he could. He must also
report serious attractions of school
regulations to the official executive
committee.
In particular, the edict against gam
bling in the dormitories was very
strict. The first discord was caused
by Jordan's discovery of Buckley and
two of his charges engaged in crap
game for large stakes. Both the stu
dents were young men and inexperi-
enced, with more money and less bal
ance than was good for them; some
how, Buckley had become acquainted
with them. At that first encounter,
there was no actual quarrel nor any
suggestion that Buckley did not play
an honest game. When Jordan ar
rived, the youngsters had already lost
two hundred dollars; but he merely
requested them to quit the game and
not repeat the offense. His classmate
had protested so angrily that Randall,
on the floor below, heard the commo-
ton; in the end, however, Buckley
submitted with bad grace.
It was Jordan's second encounter
with Buckley that precipitated the
fight. Toward the first of April, he
learned in some manner that similar
game was in progress; and interrupt
ing it, he found the two freshmen
again heavy losers. This time less
lenient, most Of his indignation was
directed against Buckley. He ordered
him to stay away from the students
in his dormitory and threatened to
compel him to do so. And then, be-
cause he already knew of something
disreputable in his past life in Van
dalia-he accused him of cheating with
loaded dice. Before he could be
stopped. Jordan seized them and
proved his claim that they were
weighted inside. Buckley then at
tackled him, partly in hatred and part
ly in dismay at being caught; violent
blows were exchanged and a battle
royal might have ensued had not other
occupants on the same floor been at
tracted by the uproar and separated
the antagonists.
Randall had no idea how informa-
ton Of the alteration and its causes
reached the college authorities. In all
probability, one of the disgruntled VIC
tins Of Buckeyes fraud carried the
tale to the executive committee. At
any rate, Randall knew definitely that
several days later that body began an
investigation. Jordan, the two fresh
