'Well, what's the use of trying to deceive; her?" asked the Junior, coldly. "Of course you're joking, though," said the sophomore, appeallngly. "You wouldn't do such a thing." "Why not?" said the Junior. "You could make it all right by a little explanation." 'Little explanation!" said the sophomore, with great exasperation. "It would take a duodecimo of explanation to clear up a thing like that!" "gtick to football English," said the Junior. "Duodecimo Is the little kind. When you get out of your depth you don't say what you mean." I might tell her you were a lunatic," said the sophomore, thoughtfully. ' "That would do," the Junior agreed. DINED AT THE CAPE. - T the er seated leatb chairs before the big window of the hotel the junior and sophomore sat side by side. Each wore a large chrysanthemum and carried a cane decked with streamers of The roribbon. tunda behind them was filled with xestless groups of young men, all wearing ribbon or carrying flags, and all talking hoarsely and excitedly. The streets In front of the hotel, already filled with the dusk of earthly twilight, through which the street lamps seemed spheres of golden haze, wore much the same look, but with the difference that the groups took the form of a procession moving along the wot sidewalk. Across the way the shirts in the window of the "Gents Clothing Palace" were all of the same color as the ribbons. The entrance to th& store further down was draped with the same shade. Even the bootblacks and newsboys, perhaps with a view to personal benefit rather than frpm any strong affection for the college, wore knots of the same. The sophomore looked out at the snoving crowd and tapped the floor Sightly with his cane. "Great game, wasn't it?" he said. N TWO of t ds ice-wag- on .

The Germans got down a book giving the names and kept tabs on the young man as he correctly went through the list.

"Now, ! should like to know," he said, "whether any of you can gi?e the names of the Prusslon rulers from the time of Charlemagne and his sons down to the Emperor Wil- liam?" Not one of them could go half through the list and they were on the point of apologizing to the young Massachusetts scholar, when he took them down still more by modestly sug-gesting: "Perhaps I had better do it for you." He began with Charlemagne and went through the list without a break, much to the astonishment of his German hosts and the delight of Consul Edwards and the other Americans.
