Then Douglass coolly knocked the money shark down. "Come along, fellows," spoke the class president quietly, and turned on his heel. "Confound you, Mr. Fresh, I'll report this to the superintendent," bellowed Henckley. "Do!" called Douglass in cool contempt over his shoulder. Douglass, Durville and Prescott tramped together around to the front of Cullum Hall.

"Don't tell us that the salt-water catcher and pitcher are ahead of you two!" protested Durville with new anxiety. "If either crowd is better, they're likely to be It," murmured Dick. Thereupon all in the dressing room wheeled to take a look at Greg. But young Holmes nodded his head in confirmation. "Don't talk that way," pleaded Beckwith.

There was just one other cadet outside -Durville, the man whom he had been obliged to report for a tremendously grave breach of discipline. But Dick Prescott's courage was up now. He raced forward, fairly gripping Durville and holding him tight. "Durville, listen to me for just a moment," begged Dick. "I know you don't like me, but you're a man of honor.

"I am, and I'm going." "But you don't know the subject of the meeting?" "No; that's what puzzles me," admitted Durville. "I'm wondering if it has anything to do with choosing the class ring, or selecting our uniforms for after graduation." "You simpleton!" cried Jordan in disgust. "You don't see far, do you? Can't you guess what the meeting is to discuss?" "I'm blessed if I can."

His sentence was handed out to him. On account of an academic reputation of high grade, and a hitherto good-conduct report, Mr. Durville was not dropped from the corps. Had the offender, before leaving West Point in "cits.," gone to the cadet guard house and made any false report concerning his absence, nothing could have saved him from dismissal for making a false official report.

"I never imagined the fellow could stick as long as he has," Jordan told himself disconsolately. One night Anstey, just before the semi-ans., took a chance. Usually the Virginian was careful in matters of discipline. But now he invited a dozen members of his class to his room to discuss an "important matter." "Going?" asked Durville of Jordan. "I'm not invited, Durry," replied the other.

"Anstey, outside of Holmes, has been the most constant friend of Prescott. Now, Prescott has his chance of passing, if the class 'silence' on him can be lifted. Anstey is going to sound class opinion. If the 'silence' can't be lifted, then Prescott is going to 'fess' down and out, and we shall see the last of him." "Poor old fellow!" muttered Durville.

Durville, too, held out his hand in sign that the past grudge was forgotten so far as he was concerned. Full of a new happiness, Dick trudged back to cadet barracks. Finding Greg Holmes in, Prescott imparted the wonderful news. Greg leaped up delightedly, pumphandling his chum's arm and patting him on the back. "Come out all right?" sputtered Holmes.

As his bat swished half lazily through the air, Durville "ducked" suddenly, for the upbounding ball had gone so close to his ear as to seem bent on removing some of the skin off that member. Greg, who had been stooping, was up in time to mit the ball. Then Durville, his face flushing, heard Holmes chuckle. "One or two more, if you like, sir," called Dick, facing the coach.

"Your ignorance of the feminine heart surprises me." "Herschell was prettier when she was a brunette." "Qui Mariam absolvisti Et latronem exaudisti Mihi quoque spem dedisti." "I must be off to lunch." "Do you know anyone who knows the Minister?" "Durville is a has-been. He blows like a grampus." "Put me in a little paragraph about Marie Falempin.
