But tbe small world that buiied and hummed and swamped her stately brick building was thrown into the greatest furor of Its time because of Frederick Lee von Slecbt A stock company of the variety that visits tbe small cities was playing Its usual repertoire before packed houses, consisting, no doubt, chiefly of the Montrose number. Nevertheless the program had gone along smoothly. Tlie college boys had, to be sure, sat well down front, the better to watch the unusually pretty leading lady" cough her way through Camllle to come out the victorious, albeit, abused heroine of East Lynne, while they favored the orchestra with generous showers of peanut shell. The college girls had, of I necessity, sat farther back In giggling admiration for groups of shame-facecharm of the "leadthe ing man," hero of each and every occasion. The program had gone well, until Thursday when It was announced p that "for the Thursday afternoon ment we will present the social problem play, Why Girls Leave Home,' for ahem women only." The dean of the girls of Montrose had given her ultimatum Wednesday night directly after dinner, not a girl from Montrose waa to go to the ThursAs If one day afternoon performance. of them had had the slightest Idea of doing so until they had heard the ultlmstum!

"I know it I Of course, the boy aren't allowed," either. In a way they are forbidden more than we are. I wonder how they feel about it" "They wouldn't have gone anyway." "Well, Betty, that's Just what you said about us. Neither would we it's the being forbidden." "That's right I wonder how they do feel about It" And ao lost did the two girls become In their speculations as to the state of mind of the masculine half of Montrose, they quite forgot their own loss cf liberty. The' buzzing of subdued voices ceased. A profound alienee filled the d en-ga- room. The president rose. "My dear Mrs. Colter, Professor Bromfleld, Doctor Hastings, and Miss Osterham, let us give this matter our united efforts; let us reach safely and honestly a conclusion based on sound facts. You say, Mrs. Colter, that you announced that no one girl was to attend. It was well understood by all?" "Yes, President Robinson, I did, and Martha Hollls and Betty Lawson were at my table within my very reach at the time. I can't understand they never seemed " and with a deep algh for their apparent duplicity, Mrs. Colter sat down. "Now, Bromfleld," the president resumed, "you say that you found this note on the floor of room after class Thursday morning and that neither Von Slecht nor Harold Bett showed up for 'lab' work Thursday afternoon?" "Yes." The note reads "Ah, yes 'I hear you girls aren't allowed to find out why girls leave home'; then In different writing: 'Well, neither can you boys,' and in the first writing again, 'But we can if you will help us In fact, we'll show you how we can take you In and thereby take 'em all In.' " "Miss Osterham, you say that on your way home Thursday afternoon, you saw the two girls In question, heavily veiled, come holdly out of the theater, and walk to ward the college?" "Yes, shopping, yes, out of the theater. I would know Betty's suit anywhere, and I'm not likely to be mistaken about the only chinchilla coat In town." "And yet, you, Dr. Hastings, say that Miss Lawson and her friend were in your Spanish class until 3:30 at least?" "Exactly : the hour was more likelv rur 4 o'clock." "It is Indeed strange.
