The four ‘Oldest daughters of the ‘lmrilett fhmily hud observed this rule and had secured their husbands outside the 'I;u'l:e college limits. Only Jane Burden: remained at home un- -mzu-rled. At twenty she led a rather uneventful existence in the big white house on the hill with only her father and a housekeeper. Jane had for some time Ignored all the college students. She figured that If ‘they weren't ellglble for her to max-~ ry, there was no good reason why she should waste _tvlme getting to know them. Of course she couldn't avoid seeing thnm at college rum-tlnns. And she was forced to meet and talk with some of them at the lnfnrinal recep- tlons which took place regularly as a matter or form at the president’: home once or twice each month. 5;’ Naturally June's tact pleased Old Man L’-urdett, as the president, Jnue's father. was commonly known around the campus. A Big Ad-van June in spite of ‘her ‘rather secluded life on the Luke campus liked to be with men. It was when she was hnvlng a day dream of that variety one full evening that she heard a Jot of noise and <commot1on outside the house. There were male voices—-students‘ voices she knew. In- the wlndowlshe could see the reflection of red torches of some sort. Then she cuuld -make out what the gang was yelling. It was: “Down with ma Man Runlett. down with Prexy Burden. \Ye‘re here to kick him out!\ Jane didn't know wlmt to do. What made the situation so complex for her was that her father was out or town giving a lvcture in Boston. Fortunately the housekeeper. Mrs. Dodds. was quite dent and she iived in the buck of the house so that she woman‘: hear the disturbance. It was up to June to do something besides watch what was going on from an up- stairs window.

Fuc- ing her were about or sixty young men. When they saw what A good-looking girl was before them. they ceased their clamor to see what the OM «.\!nn‘s daughter had to say for herself. “My father is out of town,\ she told them. \I don‘: know wlmt you \want or what ml the eltcttement menus, but I'm glad my father Isn't here to feel- the lmmmatiou that you have made me feel.“ ‘5 33;’ it There was :1 continued silence from the crowd, The-n Benny llaviland, 1 good-looking, red-lnendud fellow. cap- tain of the football team. jumped up on the top stop of the veranda. \Fellows I think we've gone a lit- tle too far,\ he said. He was support- ed by cheers from the throng. “I think it's up to us to npnlngize to Miss Bur- dett and then clear out.

Alnmst immediately the crowd begun to disperse nnd inside of ten minutes Jane nnd Benny were left on the porch looking at each other. Benny was explaining the situation the best he could. He found it easy. yet quite diillcult. to keep his thoughts on the subject when he looked at Jgme. The trnuble was President Bur- dett had expelled ‘four 6! the best ath- letes in the college on some lnme ex- cuse. In a mass meeting the students had appealed to the president to rein- state the four expelled men.

Jone thnnked Benny for his apology and said that she would exert any in- fluence possible to try nnd get things straightened out. So when her father returned the next day, before request- ing him to reinstate the expelled men. she waited until she heard what he had been doing in Boston. Eventually he talked outright to his daughter and told her what had hap- pened nnd why he had deemed it wise to go to Boston so suddenly. He had seen the chairman of the trustees and a couple of members of -the board. Tiles had advlsedhim to reinstate the fellows and to reverse his harsh de- cision for the petitioners. Jane held her pence and didn't mention the mass meeting of the previous night, But anyway the meeting of Jane and Benny had been an event of importance. It started a romance that old .\Ian Bnruiett was ignorant of so he couldn't nip it in the bud.
