A student of tho senior year emerging from one of tho gray old dormitories almost ran into a classmate who was hurrying by. -Hullo, Foster." "Excuse me, Craig. I didn't notice where I was going." "What's wrong, old chap?" He was a good follow at heart, this Craig In spito of his father's money and (he spoiling influence of a doting mother and sister. John Foster looked around. "Nothing really serious. Just a disappointment." Craig fell into step beside him. "I need a little violent ovnrHso mv self," ho said. "Which way?" "To the telegraph office." "Hrownleo told mo something about an engineering job you hoped to get. Has (his something to do with It?" "Yes. They have wired mo to meot the chlo*' engineer of the line in Chicago to-morrow. He's making up ? pariy 10 iook aner tneir Arizona extension." "Just what yot' wanted, isn't it?" "Yob. I'm very glad to get the opening." "And everything is all right at the college end of tho lino, isn't it?" "Oh, yes. The (loan knows all ahout it. He has given nie letters of introduction to several people." "When do you start?" "This nioriine." "Too bad you miss the show, but that isn't all that's bothering you, is it? Need any money?" "N'o," Foster replied quickly. "That's all right, then. It's the only paneea for trouble that I know anything about. Can't I help you in some way?" They had not been at all intimate, those two. John Foster was a boy with his way to make in the world, a boy of very limited means. He had little time for amusement and could afford few friends. Arthur Craig was the only son of a millionaire. Life to him was largely play. His set was the liveliest and most exclusive in tho university. There was really nothing in common between the two, save their allegiance to the same alma mater. Once when an unusually severe examination in a study that had especially bothered Craig was close .at hand, Jim Brownlee had brought John Poster up to Craig's rooms, and they had put in several evenings together to such good advantage that Craig stood the test in a really commendable way. He had offered to recompense Foster for his services and had been emphatically repulsed. Foster looked round at Craig with a (julck smile. "Thank you," lie said. "I'm afraid it isn't anything you could remedy. I'd hotter explain. I'm worrying nhout my uncle David. You see he is to he here to-day. All through my four years lie's heen looking forward to commencement week, and to being hero with mo during the last days at the old school. 1 can't tell you how much I owe to I'nclo David, lie's taken care of me since I was a child of three. lie sent me here. You can't understand what that means. He's only a farmer hut moderately successful. Yet lie has contrived to send me here and to send my cousin Helen?another orphan ? to Vassal-. Now lie's coming to pay mt; mui innn expected visit- and I can't even bo here to greet him when he arrives. And I counted so much on showing him around." "That's too bad," said Craig, sympathetically. Ho paused for a moment. "See here, old chap," he cried, "let me look after your I'ncle David." "You!" "Why not? I'm foot loose. I haven't anybody coming. Mother and sis are in England with my married sister, Lady Heathcote, Dad Is in San Francisco. My time in my own. You trust Uncle David with me. I don't get a chance to do anything decent very often. Let mo have 1 this one." 1 Foster looked at him doubtfully. "My uncle is a plain man, a man of Bimple tastes," he Raid. 1 "Not another word," cried Craig. 4,Tell me how to identify him, and what to nay to him when I meet lilm." 1 "This in very good of you, Craig," Raid John Foster, a little brokenly. 1 And he put out hia hand.

Mr. Rivington, you might just ur well bo comfortable while you are reading John's letter. This way, please." He took the old man's bap from his hand and piloted him across the station platform to where his runabout stood. Uncle David stared at the beautiful car with its shining trimmings. "This is the second time T have been in this town," he said, with a twinkle in liis gray eyes. "I remember they ran a 'bus to the hotel in those early days. This seems to be quite a striking improvement." Craig laughed as he placed tho bag in the cnr. "They are running: tho same old "bus," lio said.

There was a little pause. Tho gray eyes traveled over tlx; machine and rested on the owner. "I'll have to confess to you," ho said, "that this is tho llrst ride of the kind I've ever taken." "You will have a good many of them before the week is over," said Arthur. "But now for John's letter." Uncle David slowly read the message. Then he looked up. "This is a disappointment," he said. "But, of course, it's for the boy's good. That's tho mam consideration. He's a line lad." "Ho is." Arthur f'rnSi* ncoontn.1 "and he's very grateful to his Uncle Da /Id." "Ho speaks well of you," said Undo David. "Better than I deserve, no doubt," laughed Arthur. "But there, you're delivered into iny hands, Uncle David. You don't mind if 1 call you Uncle David, do you?" "Not at all," the old man answered. "That's what pretty much everybody in the neighborhood calls me." "Well, Uncle David, what do you think of my car?" 'Slickest 'nine I over oom ?iw. man answt rod. "Wo'ro not oxcoed- , iiiK the speed limit that I've read so much about, are wo?" "I guess wo are," Arthur replied. "But there isn't anybody here fussy enough to interfere with us. There, this is the campus." it was a delightful ride, made especially so by the enjoyment of the old man. Arthur recognized a num- , her of people and he realized that they looked at bin) curiously. No | doubt they were wondering who his ] country friend was. Arthur Hushed , a little at the thought. Ho dimly , wondered If Uncle David had a dark , buit of clothes in his bag. Perhaps ] he was foolish to assume charge of t thl? atmnlii Then he braced up suddenly and took no heed of the staring faces. Ho ( had given his word that ho would ( take charge of Uncle David. Thoy drew up In front of tho ancient dormitory ajid Arthur took ( Undo David to his rooms and urged tlim to make himself at home. Uncle David demurred a little, but Arthur ovorrnled hiu objections. It * ivas all understood between his friond, 1 John and himself. Undo David was his guest and ho Tiust resign himself to his fate. And Sheldon Thome had looked (' n while they wore talklnc nn/i i llttlo nt Undo David, and then racked out again. Arthur know that. It would bo at >nco reported that ho wan entertain- ? ng a farmer. But what did ho care t' or that? At least what should ho * :are for that? Besides, ho liked 8 Jncle David and ho was auro Uncle 9 Javld liked him. t Then began a round of wild dlsfilpntion for tho good old man. Trips In the runabout, strolls through the college buildings, a baseball ganio between the faculty and the college team, luncheons and dinners and I breakfasts. It was on tho second day that Uncle David said to Arthur Craig, "See here, my boy, why should you take all this trouble for a plain old i man? Have you made a bet, per-1 haps, that you would do this? I have heard of such things." Ho was smiling as ho spoke, but I his tone was grave. "Nothing of tho kind, Undo David. | I freely volnnteored to look after you. . I've no one el?e, yon know." "That's a little strange, isn't it?" "They conldn't be here. My father is in San Francisco, taking on another railroad. I had a telegram from him last night. My mother and sister Grace are in England, where my married sister is ill. I'll get a cablegram from them to-day. So you see I have nobody but you, Uncle David." There was a queer little twinkle in uncle David's eyes. "Perhaps," ho slowly said, "the discipline will do you good." lie paused. "Has your father always had money?" "As far hack as T can remember." > "You have had everything you wanted?" "Always." ^ "I see," said Uncle David. Arthur laughed. "I know what you are thinking. You are saying to yourself, 'And yet there's still something good about the boy.' " "That's true," said llncle David. When it came to the evening of I the reception Arthur couldn't help | menng a little perturbed. How would Uncle Dnvld appear? Thero was no Question about hia manners. The old man had all the instincts of a born gentleman. But his clothes? But the ancient traveling bag's contents were not so bad.

"Will 1 do?" he asked. "Yo.i'I! do," laughed Arthur. Nor did he flush once as they mingled with the well dressed throng. "I'd like to meet your president," said Uncle David presently. " YCK" ?nifl ArfK.... HUH! IIS mo reception A moment later they faced the gray halrod president. "Mr. David Uiviugton," Artlinr repeated. lie fancied the president had not caught Uncle David's name.

"This young man," he answered. "I am in the best of hands. No son ?.ould be kinder or more thoughtful." ^rthur Hushed redly as the keen bluo eyes of the president rested upon him. He knew that the president ivas puzzled. H<> realized that in his ?yes he was one of the most troublesome men in tho university. He hastened to explain his anomalous position. "Undo David's nephew, a man of jur claa>, was suddenly called away o Chicago where an engineering sitlation is offered him. and I vniim oered to look after Uncle; David."
