He was walking out one evening | from his boarding house when he was | ! set upon by three young men. They were supposed to be students, and to | i be mistaken in their man, and they | made it warm for young Jeffries for | a minute. Then he rallied, and when | he had landed three separate punches | on three individual chins the battle was over. Brian had delivered “the punch,” as sporting men say, and from that time on he was “Punch” Jeftries. He was neither proud of it} nor disgusted with it. When the summer vacation came the young man went to his home on the Sound. He might have gone camp- ing or yachting or tramping, as so many students do, but he was way | behind in his studies, and his father had inquired of him: H “Do you think I sent you to college to learn to row, swim, box and kick a football?” “Hardly, father,” was the reply. “You stand very low in your studies, my boy; and you must catch up.. Spend your vacation at home and do' it.” | It was a bit lonesome at The Oaks. | Brian was an only child, and his moth- ! er was a semi-invalid and his father | a quiet man who seldom entered into | conversation. There were fishing and boating, and there was a trip to the village now and then in the auto, and the remainder of the time was put in reading law and wondering why men with sense enough to peel a potato could not enact a law that a half-baked judge could not interpret twice alike in the same year. On his homecoming he had noticed two young ladies at Wave Urest—the | next manor house below. One of them was Miss Pryor, whose father owned the property, and the other was a stranger to him. When he sought information of his mother she replied: “It is a young lady from the city visiting Miss Pryor. I do not even| know her name.” “Hang it, it T had ever been intro- | duced to Miss Pryor here {8 a big chance for a flirtation.” “I'm sorry for you, but perhaps you'll survive the disappointment.” At about the same hour Miss Callle Floyd, the visitor from the city, was asking of Miss Annette Pryor: | “And who are the people at the other place?” | “Their name is Jeffries.” “Aren’t there any girls?” “No, only a son.” “College student?” “I belleve 80, and home now on his vacation.” “He must be a bit lonely.” “Well, it won’t be for us to cheer him up. I have heard that he was' very wild and reckless at college.” “Why, he doesn’t look it,” said Miss Callie, I “Oh, you are a physiognomist, are you? You can tell by a young man’s face fitfty rods away whether he is' wild or not!” | “I—I thought he had a pleasant face.” “Let me tell you what they call him in college. It is ‘Punch’ Jef-, fries!” “But why? Does he drink more punch than anybody else?™ “It must be that. A young man who knows him told me that he had | three brawls before he had been in college a month. I hope he will make no excuse to get acquainted with us. We must prepare ourselves to snub him at the first advance.” “Yes, we must!” sighed Miss Callle as she turned away. Three days later Brian saw the young ladies start for the village in the runabout, and he got out his auto and followed. Why he did it he did not stop to ask himself.

The man was hauled from his seat ' and cast into the road, and Brian ex- pressed his willingness to drive the lady to her home.

Miss Callie returned to the city a ) week later, and although the young man was in no sense smitten ne hoped and believed that she wasn't so down on him as Miss Pryor. A year elapsed and Miss Callie came to spend the summer again, and Brian was spending another vacation ' with his law books. His father had said: “No use wasting your time.
