hoarse. As it was late at night with the foghorn blowing, they were not put in irons. And at the American Embassy in Paris, the Profes- sor had bumped squarely in to Pep Purinton, the dis- tinguished Senator from Vermont. Pep was enjoying a much needed vacation at the expense of the govern- ment. And the Honorable Parker Purinton had been able to give his old classmate access to places, people, and records otherwise beyond reach. The two had visited the l..'Ecole Des Beaux Arts to see the two fine paint- ings by Henry Ahl, who had been studying in Paris for four years and was doing fine work. It was While at the gallery that they met the old class jester, Jesse Paine. But what a Jesse! Jesse was in the tow of a large, portly lady, severe of countenance, and determined of speech, who was quite evidently drag- ging poor jesse to all the galleries in Paris. She left Jesse to care for four children while she inspected the gallery. jesse greeted the two old time friends with keen delight, glad to secure a little respite from the rather overpower- ing personality of his wife. The two old classmates were genuinely sorry for their friend but could do little more than offer their hopes that he would be able to do some of the things that he had planned. The professor tried to get jesse to go to Egypt with him but it was quite impos- sible for Jesse to break away from the family ties. The professor had gone to Egypt alone. And as the events of that trip came back, the Professor laughed out- right. Once more he walked the streets of Cairo and Alexandriag and travelled up and down the Nile gathering material for his book. And once again it was sunset with a long caravan starting out for the distant horizon, and on the biggest camel of them all, singing a little song to himself, his long lean body swaying rhythmically to the lope of his beast, was Jimmie Gardiner. Jimmie was off on another trip to the Upper Nile to add to his laurels as an archaeologist in general and as a collector of Egyptian coins in particular. The Professor had accepted Jimmie's invitation to join him and had spent two wonderful months with Jimmie in a new and weird land. The embers of the fire glowed dully. Outside the world was asleep, unless, indeed, Jimmie was on his camel in far away Egypt. The wind whistled and shrieked by the house and through the bare trees. Pro- fessor Sperry leaned forward and spread his hands to warmth of the coals. The old class of i923 has done mighty well, after all, he mused. ----,.-------------A-..-A v
