.H Friendly Office -llilil What's the matter, Jack? Disappointed in love? That letter must have come from an indigo factory. Jack Abernathy said nothing, so Jarvis continued: If I'd know who has been making trouble for my room-mate I'd raise a disturbance. What can it be-? The old boy is up in his class, has good health, and is doing well generally, so far as I can see. It must belove.. By jove, it's love, I'll' bet a 'dol-lar! Come, Jack, tell us about it. Go to the devil, politely remarked J ack 5 and he started to read the letter a second time. Jarvis, apparently much hurt, puffed stolidly on his bull-dog pipe, remarking between puffs what an utter idiot he had for a room-mate. How soft he was. How- oh, rats! And Jarvis hastily prepared for bed. f J ' ' After reading the letter over a half-dozen times, Jack swore extravagantly and lighted a cigarette to think the matter over... Finally he threw a shoe at Jarvis, who was snoozing placidly, and bade him listen. Jarvis, I've got a hard-luck story to tell you. There is la- little girl up in Hosack who has passed the competitive examination for the name of Mrs. Abernathy. We grew up together and I always thought seriously of her as my own, but I learn that a young genius by the name of Rampart is making himself busy around her home, and this evening I got a cold-storage letter from her. Now, whatl wantlyou to do is to go home with me for Easter and tell her some continued stories with Jack as hero. Understand? I think it -will be O. K. when I get there, but I need a good liar to add color to the thing. Will you do it? 4 I ' ' . Ugh, responded Jarvis, with his head buried in the pillow. V Wake up, old chap. ,Won't you do it? Go to bed, Jack. Don't bother me. ' But, you beastly smug-faced deacon, can't you tell me if you'll do it? What+is it? I'll-do it. Go to bed. - And Jarvis began snoring most reprehensibly. When Easter came, T ack held Jarvis to his promise, although that most estimable younggentleman denied allrecolleotion of having made such a promise. The first night in.Hosack, our two collegians called on Miss Ferguson. It was not a hard matter for Jarvls to engage the young lady's attention, and, very naturally, the conversation turned on Jack, who was then telling Mrs. Ferguson sundrylyarns .concerning his cohege life and tie positions that had been offered him upon graduation. s - Y 1 ' uppose you now my room mate pretty well, don t you, Miss Ferguson ? Oh, yes. We grew up together. X Pretty nice sort of a chap. Indeed? , ies
