During' the last few weeks, many fellows had purposely gone through the wrong' exit. if they were only given the opportunity of doing' so. and if that wasn't suffieient. they would stand on the stairs and taunt him for having allowed them io en- ter the wrong' way. He was gettilig siek and tired of this smart-aleek stunt. and eoupl- efl with this weariness, was the an- ger he felt on having' received a zero during' the last period. All these things together did not tend to put him into a very happy frame of mind. And he resolved in his heart to avenge himself that day and to make trouble for the fellow who tried to put it over on him. To make eertain the aeeompiish- ment of his plans, he formed a de- finite eourse of aetion whieh would hasten matters and brirg everything' to a quirk climax. The plan was this. He would engage in a desul- tory eonversation with a passing- hoy. all the while pl etendina that he had diverted his attention from the hallway. So that the fellow who was anxious to put it over' on hivn might have the mueh-hoped for ehanee of entering the wrong' way. Putting' his plan into aetion. he im- mediately asked a passing' boy a few questions. He had spoken a few words. when a figure slunk into the hallway. Thinking that his intended prey had fallen into the snare. he immedi- ately shot out his right hand. and ln-ought it down with full foree on that doomed. would-be eulprit. and aeeompauied it by a few niee marks. sueh as.

THE ELCHANITE Ninety-Three The Reward of Blufhng I'Il'Il'Hl-1X GURDUX. UR worthy instruetor of history displays upon his eherubie eountenanee a pee- uliarly strained look of in- tense interest, when one of his enter- prising' disciples begins to expouml his own personal views on history. or in the common parlanee. tries to put, up a blutf. It is my humble opinion, that the extreme originality anal the rabid ettusion of these impromptu theories exercise over him an irresistible fascination, The subtle and enigmat- ie statements of the bucltline' orators weave round him a web whieh holfls him spellbountl and transfixemil. Put woe betide the orator when his words have eeased to How! Then Mr. Cohen awakes from his seeming tranee. His glazed. unseeingr eyes again brighten with the light of in- telligence. He bentls his benignant and smiling grlanee upon his erring' pupil with a look of gentle and fatherly reproaeh, and still smiling, inserihes in his roll book a eertain symbol. No doubt the reproaehtul look arouses pangs of remorse in the pupil's breast. but we ineline to the belief that the symbol has more to do with it. A 5- Qmfatigrif 4.
