Next morning Jarvis got a letter, and acting on impulse, hastened to inform Jack that he must go home. As a matter of fact, the letter expressed only the wish that he was having a pleasant time, ,but a little misunderstanding of the words was easy. Jack tried to be sorry and couldn't. Jarvis left on the noon train. U When they returned to college, Jack said to his room-mate: Jarvis, I've thought it all over and have decided that the proper course is for both to have a free hand. The joke is on me, but it is my own fault, so I vvill take my medicine like a little Dutchman. , But letters from Hosack came to Jarvis laden with balm and myrrh, while the most desirable commodities Jack received from that postoflice were slips from his father's check-book. f-,xv ll -N wg' f- -L 6- --1 gif 1-17:95, gif wine LE05' L if Q Qxl find ' Vxfbqn f4lJ I i,L'1j9 U N J rf Y L15 ,AQ A 1 CX I-I A 4 191 13

Well you're an athlete who has been playing under the name of Jarvis. You'll have to manufacture a reason for assuming a name, for I told her I didn't know. You have been president of the Y. M. C.,A., you are VCU' POPUIEH' at College' and there 31' 9 3 ' 1 ver you. . . dozeiiaiizllrSgxtiguiecdaaiywiar-dance, and from his ejaculations lt was gathered that he was t' fi d 'th th course Jarvis had pursued. . . . D Sa ISHI mvilght say in passing that you are in love with a mighty attractive little girl. You bet! But I don't allow poaching. Remember that trespass IS strictly pro- hibited. a . , Oh, yes, yes. I haven't put on the ,finishing touches yet, but after next time I think my work will be over. . The next time they called, Miss Ferguson's friend, Miss Dunbar, was visiting her. They had a very pleasantevening, but somehow Jarvis and Miss Ferguson happened to talk with each other quite a little. Jack, however, was not uneasy, for he had faith in his room-mate's intentions. He understood that Jarvis had been polishing his lies and adding grace and effect to the whole story. But when Jarvis bounced into bed that night it was with a mind less clear and free from care. He thought hard, and his thoughts ran something like this: - Jarvis, my poor boy, you are getting in trouble. You're getting entirely too friendly with that little girl, and the first thing you know your pegs will fall from under you. Confound it! If she wouldn't be Jack's girl you could love her with a clear con- science. But, oh, you howling idiot! What did you get in this mess for? Couldn't you find trouble enough at college,' but you must come up here after it? Now see where you are. You may as well admit to yourself that you love that young goddess. But you unutterable wretch, you can't treat Jack that way. If the girl would have any sense, she'd give you an adult's dose of discouragement, but a girl is not supposed to have sense and you don't want -to be discouraged. If you were a boy of mine, I'd tie you up somewhere. Now you keep out of Jack's affairs! Thus he scolded himself and thus, he determined to do the honorable thing. The matter was pretty serious, but after much self-abasement, he began to see it in a different light. He laughed aloud. You indescribable dolt! That girl is making a small boy of you. What a nice thing 1t is to be conceited! Ha, ha ! His laugh was the half-hearted one we use when we see the joke is on us. Imagined the girl was fairly carried away by your manly charms! Oh, my! How shoe would laugh at the thought! ' . After some more of this he thought of Rampart, and his rnerriment became more like real. Where did Rampart come in? The joke was on him, after all. Considering the subject thoroughly threshed out, Jarvis yawned and turned over to sleep. . When they next saw Miss Ferguson, her manner to Jarvis was so gracious that the strong- willed young man's.resolutions disappeared in a whirlwind of tender passions. He forgot Jack- and all his claims for justice, and applied himself to the very serious occupation of exploring the depths of .those eyes. Jack was fidgety and seemed to find Miss Dunbar's attractiveness unattractive. He had eyes only for the very contented lad and la.ssie a short distance from him. If looks had had sufficient potency, Jarvis would have vanished from the face of the earth When the time d ' th lk d h. - . . came-an It came all too soon for Jarvis- 03' W3 9 01116, but they walked in silence. Jarvis again thought harshly of himself and Jack agreed with him in every particular. 190 ,.........-.. ....-.. ,.. 7.74. .. Y K L U
