She remained still for a time, casting at Coke little glances of ha d. “I don’t see my way cl to ask any of the other fellows,” she said at last, with considerable bit- terness. “I'm not in the habit of conducting such inquiries.’ Coke felt now that he disliked her, and he read pla him.

Nora and Coke stood looking at the scene without either thinking of the importance of running away, when out tumbled seven students, followed immediately but in more decorous fashion by the Wainwrights and Coleman.

They stood in- deed as if rooted to the spot, staring vacuous! like two village: at the surprising travelers. It was not an eternity before the practiced girl of the stage recovered her poise, but to the end of the incident the green youth looked like a culprit and a fool.
