"I am seeking a student named Haeckel, of this corps," said old Adelbert stoutly. And had violated all etiquette, too, had he but known it! "Haeckle?" repeated the doorkeeper. "I think come in, comrade. I will inquire." For the name of Haeckel was, just then, one curiously significant. He disappeared, and old Adelbert waited.
