Wishing to devise for him a title that combined due recognition of both his naval exploits and his fine scholarship, the undergraduates called him "Capordoc"; and it was part of a freshman's initiation to learn that at all times and in all places he was to stand and uncover when Professor Kelton passed by.
He had spoken the truth when he said that he knew no more of the nature of the letter that had been carried to Professor Kelton than the messenger, and Harwood's replies to his interrogatories had told him nothing. Many matters, however, pressed upon his attention and offered abundant exercise for his curiosity.
"What steam vessels have you got now?" Kelton queried interestedly. "Only one at present, Mr. Kelton. We've acquired the Tillicum, late of the Blue Star fleet." "Indeed!" replied Kelton.
Please note carefully what I say. The reply is No. There must be no mistake about that, do you understand?" "I am to report that you answered 'No'." "That is correct, sir," replied Professor Kelton quietly. The young man rose, and the Professor followed him to the door.

I want you to let me pay you back the money Professor Kelton paid for them. I should have to do it privately it would have to be a matter between you and me." "Oh, no!
