The Very Idea!j By Bill Gaines Two stalwart, manly specimens of male pulchritude nightly stalk the paths of the University grounds in the performanoe of their nocturnal duties. The honest smile if the contented workman is continually on their re spectable faces and in their eyes glow the light that comes only after many years of being hailed as fellow by the many with whom they are throwt into contact. They are unceasing in their efforts to lighten the burdens of the poor, suffering college youth and their chief delight is assisting him to his room when he has eaten something that has dis agreed with him. They are princely fel lows and honest-"---yes-----exceed ingly honest. * * * * * * * Two lissome, athletic samples of mas culine comeliness daily tread the paths of the University grounds in the perfor mance of their diurnal obligations. The ingenuous smile of the satisfied crafts man is unremittingly on their respecti ie respectable countenances and in their optics flame the iridescence that is at tained only after multitudnous years of being saluted as fellow by the host with whom they are commingled. They are incessantly attempting to alleviate the suffering of the impecunious and dis tressed collegiate adolescent and their crowning pleasure is placing complacent professorial arms around drooping shoul ders when they have just told him that, though he worked mighty hard, he just barely missed making the grade. They are magnificent gentlemen and equitable yea----transcendinly equitable. Many a college student has a hall mark on! him that is not a stamp of ap proval.

He was very tired and no matter what way he went 't looked -like he was going in an opposite directiont Soon. he found leading out of the woods a road to a small town called Pietranera. He did not lose any time getting there. Pietraniera va - about twenty miles fromh Haverhill. As he was wandering about in- this town he heard a terrible nois.e in an inn. He ran into the inn, jumped up the stairs, and saw his emeny, Alphonso Sull.ivan, gagging the girl whom he loved. John- ran to her rescue, hit Sullivan with his fist once and knock ed him to the floor. John made his getLi way with the girl by taking a horse tied at theq post of the im.
