Bill had been sitting against a tree and bemoaning his fate and he was very much surprised when he was released, dressed in his own clothes again, and told to take his Ford and go, under the condition that he did not look back until he had passed the turn in the road. He was so glad to be released that he solemnly promised not to look back; so he was permitted to go—not however, until two of the conspirators had been hidden under some robes in the tonneau. As soon as he was started he forgot his promise and looked back, but he saw nothing for the rest of the club members had dived into a clump of willows. Bill drove at a breakneck speed and soon he was knocking at the door of the Burton home. As Nellie came to the door, he invited her to take a ride but she retorted icily. “No, thank you, sir. I am afraid you will have to go alone this time, unless you go and get Helen Wilcomb again.” “Why-------” he began, but the door was slammed in his face. He turned slowly away and soon was on the way back to his room. As he turned up the street towards the garage, the two boys in the back of the auto again took possession. After a brief and fierce struggle, Bill was tied, gagged and blindfolded once more, and they returned in the Ford to the scene of the first hold-up. “Part three worked fine too,” said one of the conspirators when they had arrived. “She siammed the door right in his face.” “That’s good,” replied George. “Now we’ll make Mr. Bill watch Jack and Nellie make up. Go on,” he called to Jack. “We'll be there in a few minutes.” Jack started on his way to Burton’s and approaching, saw' Nellie sitting on the porch, gazing gloomily toward the star. . “Hello, Nellie,” he called. “Why, hello, Jack,” replied Nellie. “I’ve just been aching to have you come tonight.” “Well, I’ve been aching to come, too,” replied Jack. “Only I was afraid. I’ve got a few things I want to tell you.” Meanwhile something different was going on across the street. The conspirators had brot Bill up beside the house, across the street from Burton’s and had taken his blindfold off for the purpose of letting him see Nellie and Jack make up. He was much surprised to see who his conspirators had been and when he saw' where he was and saw Nellie and Jack making up and heard her say, “Oh, I knew all the time it wasn’t you, Jack,” the truth began to dawn upon him, and he began to struggle fiercely in an endeavor to break loose. “Lemme at that kid,” he raged. “All right,” replied George. “Come on to your room and we’ll let you settle it” Bill was released and went with the other boys to Page Nineteen

his room, where he found Jack waiting for him. “Here you are!” Bill exclaimed, rushing at his room mate, but the latter said authoritively. “Sit down and listen to me.” Bill was forced to comply, so he sat down and listened to Jack’s story. “We planned this out about two weeks ago, and you thought, I suppose, that I had forgotten,” Jack said sympathetically. “But, as you have seen, I didn’t. I enlisted the aid of my club, the J. O. K., and they were the ones who, as you also know, held us up. I drained almost all the gas out when I went to get the car and put it in a can in the : ack and that’s what made it stop. You didn’t catch on then because they tied me up too, and you didn’t know who the fellows were because they blind-folded you until they took you over across from Burton’s. We got A1 Gray there to take your duds and go by Nellie’s house with Helen Wilcomb, so that Nellie would think you had quit her, which she did.” Here Bill sprang from his chair and vainly attempted to get at Jack but was forced to sit down by the other boys. “Then,” continued Jack, “we sent you over to get turned down, which you did likewise; and then these fellows brot you over to see Nellie and me make up. I consider that we are even. What do you think?” While Jack had been telling his part, Bill had at first been white with anger, and had struggled fiercely to get loose, but when he saw that he was beaten his anger subsided. “All I’ve got to say,” re replied warmly, “is that you are a genius to fix up a plan like this, and I’m proud to be your room mate.” —LEO GESELL, ’18. LOYALTY If all forsake thee, Uncle Sam, I yet for thee will firmly stand. My life I’ll gladly give, dear Sam, Tho all forsake thee to a man. Peril or safety, what e'er betide, Trusting and faithful in thee I'll abide; Always a staunch and loyal friend, Always a helping hand I’ll lend. —ADELAIDE CHRISTIAN, ’19.
