.'"This passage," soliloquized the
pro feasor, making a marginal note in
red ink, "is spurious. I am firmly
convinced that it is the work of some
monk who copied the original manu-
script."
He nodded severely and placed the
pen, still dripping with ink, behind
hiá ear. Suddenly reminding him-
self that it was not a lead pencil, he
took it up and gazed at it reproach-
fully.
"It is positively incredible how
such flagrant dog Latin could have
crept into a text prepared by Dr.
Von Platz. The Germans more
thorough than we! Bah!" He stuck
the pen into his vest pocket.
John brought in a tray bearing a
cup of fragrant coffee and some
toast. The professor had worked on
a glass of water until 10:30, prefer-
ring to get his breakfast in the
middle of the forenoon. John no-
ticed that his master was looking up
at the skies hopelessly. He shifted
his position to attract attention,
even deposited the tray with more
noise was strictly necessary, but to
no avail.
"Professor!" he finally whispered,
very gently, into the scholar's ear,
"breakfast is served!"
The professor looked at him stern-
ly. A delightful little dream of a
modern, outdoor university had been
rudely interrupted by his intrusion.
John was a good servant, a very
good servant, but utterly lacked the
scholar's perspective.
"John," he reproached, "why must
von give expression to the obvious?
That breakfast is served is a fact
needing merely ocular demonstra-
tion. Ton must not regard the oral
statement as necessary. Do yon
gather my meaning?" He sipped
reflectively at the coffee.
"Yei, sir, thank you, sir," replied
John, smiling.- He liked the pro-
fessor and wouldn't let a few big
words stand in the way of friend-
ship. Besides, he came on a mes-
sage from the professor's niece. He
was reminded of it by the Taran*
telle which came tempestuously from
the open windows.
"Miss Lucy wants to know wheth-
er you're free to see her, sir"—bend-
ing low. "She hasn't been feeling
well this morning at all, at all, sir.
I know it because—"
"Never mind the symptoms, John.
It is a sign of an ordinary intellect
to dwell at any length on trivial cor-
roborative detail."
"Yes, sir, but what shall I tell
her?"
"Of course I am ready. If you
had the slightest powers of intuition
yon would have discerned—"
But Jqhn had whisked off, leaving
the professor in the toils of painful
reflection that the menaltity of serv-
ing men in the United States struck
an unusually low sverage.
A girl of 19 in a white lawn dress,
wearing a richly colored Spanish
vnrf about her shoulders, appeared
.n the doorway. One rose protrud-
ed from her hair; another was
pinned jauntily to her shirtwaist
She threw herself down on the
grass before the professor.
"IJncle, I'm miserable—miserable
—miserable," she gasped out.
"Carissima," he ssid, patting her
dark brown hair stoically, "what
stroke of sorrow brings you here,
prostrate at my feet, garbed even as
tbe proud Castilisns—" wm
"If that is all the sympathy I can
expect from yon, then I hitd better
go I" she said, pouting. "I hate the
scarf anyhow. I bats it—hate it—
hate it"
"Vehemence neither adds to nor
detracts from sn eternal vfrity," re-
marked the professor, calmly, "but
if yon will pardon the question, why
do you hste this besutiful variegated
scarf sad why are you so deeply
grieved T
"I bate the sosrf beejgte he gave
It to me," she panted, *%hd I'm net
grieved--—not a bit, net the least was
bit*

her hair and plucked sway recldcesly
at petal after pe'il.
"Let mc understand you proper-
ly," said the professor, as if trying
to construct an interesting syllogism,
"you hate the scarf because Mr.
Chester gave it to you and yet you
like Mr. Chester."
"I hate Howard—er—Mr. Ches-
ter, too," she said, decisively.
"Hating Mr. Chester and hating
book to the bibliography of his doc-
tor's thesis that he'd come home like
a conquering hero—well, not by a
long shot."
"If I am not mistaken," ventured
the professor, "yon are employing
racing phraseology. That s member
of the Phi Beta*;Ksppa—"
"Shucks," responded Chester. "If
I had a truckman's lingo I might
fitly suggest that there's something,
wrong with me. As it is, I know
my limitations. Listen here. 'After
working like a Trojan—"
"That's better, at least a classical
allusion although a trifle hack-
neyed," sighed the professor.
"After working like a horse," cor-
rected Chester, "I come home to
Lucy with the joyful news that my
thesis is nearly finished and that
soon another doctor would be im-
posed upon a gullible community
'and incidentally get a living wage at
the college where he teaches and—
and—be able—perhaps—to—er—
marry—and—"
The big fellow's red cheeks turned
decidedly redder. He took out a
pocket handkerchief and ran it
across his forehead.
"The matter is not beyond all rep-
aration—" began the professor.
"Yes it is," said Chester, mourn-
fully, "if you had heard Lucy you
wouldn't give a plugged continental
for my chances. I'm giving up my
post-grad work to go out west. There
are plenty of places where a strong
msn—"
Unobserved, Lucy had tiptoed up
to him.
uSo, you won't, Howsrd, before
you've forgiven me for being a
mean, selfish, ill-tempered little
beast thst never deserved—"
Howard jumped up, besming with
happy excitement
"Gypsy," he cried, embracing her.
"Gypsy, if you knew how unhappy
I've been !"
Off they walked unceremoniously,
leaving the professor dazed at the
suddenness of it sll.
"On what insubstantial grounds
does modern learning rest," he
mused. "There is Chester, a young
fellow with a brilliant future, author
of a valuable contribution to paleog-
raphy, willing to give everything up
because, forsooth, Lucy indulged in
s At of temperf Queer, very queer!"
His ¿tend wandered toward Ms vest
pocket "Peculiar hew the pea get
into that pocket—but this is a queer
world)"
