father?       That  fine  fellow  I  told  you  of

                                    who  is  having  such  a  grind  to  get
                                   through  college.           Well,  he  was  sus­

                                   pended  last  night/’

                                       i[S o ? ”  said  the  Doctor,  who  had

                                   caught  this  exclamation  in  Germany,
                                       L< T hey  say  he  sent  an  awfully  insult­

                                   ing  paper  in  place  of  his  thesis/ 1  said

                                   Arthur.       111  don’t  understand  how  he
                                   ever  came  to  do  it,  for  he  does n’t  seem

                                   to  be  that  sort  of  a  fellow.         H e ’s  tre­

                                   mendously  ambitious,  you  know,  and

                                   this  will  be  such  a  set-back/’
                                       “ But  he  denies  having  written  the

                                   paper,  and  declares  it  must  have  been

                                   substituted  by  somebody  for  the  thesis
                                   he  did  write/’  said  Randolph.             “  If  he

                                   can  prove  this,  it  will  all  be  made  right,

                                   but  the  paper was  signed with  his  name,

                                   and  things  look  black  for  him.          Halloo,
                                   Wilifred,  what’s  the  m atter?’’
