When the roll was called at the evening lecture, which was at an early hour, Jack and his friends replied "here!" For a week or more after the episode at the lake, matters at the academy went on in a rather more even tenor than was usual. One night Sam, who finished his studying early went to Jack's room. "Boning away?" he asked. "Just finishing my Caesar," was the reply. "Why, anything on?"

Hayne's lights were burning until long after midnight, and that, dropping in there, they had found him seated at his desk with a green shade over his eyes, studying by the aid of two student-lamps; "boning to be a general, probably," was the comment of captains of Buxton's calibre, who, having grown old in the service and in their own ignorance, were fiercely intolerant of lieutenants who strove to improve in professional reading instead of spending their time making out the company muster-rolls and clothing-accounts, as they should do.

Both boys had lists of the studies and standards required for entrance to the Military Academy or the Naval Academy. Dick and Dave, each in his own room at home, spent the next few days in "boning" as neither had ever "boned" before. "But we must get three hours in the open air each day, Dave," Dick insisted.

"Christine's father a convict!" groaned David. "As I said before, he's out. It may interest you to know that I spent a year's vacation up there in '78. I needed the rest, old chap. Brad came in shortly after I got settled. He had been in Chicago for two years, boning his friends and living like a gutter-snipe. We spent most of our evenings at Sing Sing on the same piazza.

The next morning, while the members of the cadet corps were grinding at recitations, or boning over study desks in barracks, Mrs. Bentley and the girls rode down the slope in the stage and boarded a train for New York. Dick had not "spoken." After that February hop, Cadet Prescott appeared to give himself over to one dominating ambition. That ambition was to secure higher standing in his class.

The cadet corps formed outside the north sally port and marched to breakfast. About seven o'clock breakfast ended. The corps marched back to barracks and was dismissed. By 7.15 every young man was hard at work, "boning" hard over the studies in which he must recite during the forenoon. He "boned" until 7.55.

"And I'm cutting out cards and cocktails," continued the boy, eager as a little lad who tells how good he has been all day "I made it plain to the fellows that there was nothing in it for me. And, Philip, I'm boning down like thunder at the office I'm horribly in debt and I'm hustling to pay up and make a clean start. You," he added, colouring, "will come first "

But Luigi seemed to know nothing else that differentiated Julie from her sisters in service, and Lowney changed his questions. "How could Miss Van Allen get that knife of yours?" he asked. "I don't know, sir. It was, I suppose, in the pantry, with our other knives." "What is its use?" "It is a boning knife, but doubtless one of our men used it in cutting celery for salad, or some such purpose."

One will be studying music, another art; one "boning" at medicine, another selling stories to the newspapers and living in hope of one day writing a great American play or novel. Such nice girls so brave and jolly. My new home is in a building on Union Square. And I like it the place, the people, the glimpse of the wintry Square, the roaring city life under my window.

So he's going to resign. I've told him you'll know just how to handle his case. Go after him, now!" Midshipman Dalzell pulled the door shut, chuckling softly to himself, and marched back to the library. It was just before the call for supper formation when Dan returned from "boning" in the library. "Did you brace Farl up, Davy?" demanded Dan. "You grinning idiot!" laughed Darrin.
