His only resource, therefore, was to go home, and feigning his bolster to be the person of Professor Everholme, indict upon it the condlgn car 1367, by Pam: l.I‘.a.ri:, in the Clerk’!

Hadgely left the house, and when his wife saw him re-enter, it was with a grin on his face that would have done credit toliiephistopholes. “ Well," said he, “ I’ve been to the college, and had a talk with the professor.” “Did you see Doctor Everholme 't” -- Yes,. and began by admitting that I had ecn a ten-inc sinner, indeed, until very lately, but I had just been converted to rshgion and thought old Doctor Millward looked rather du- bious, but Everhol1ne's a simple fool after .11, Ind w s soon convinced.

The young student who entered that college for the Iirst timo saw, as soon as he looked upon the face of Everholme, that there was the instructor and friend to whom he might sately come for ad- vice in didiculties, aynlpnthy in troubles, and forgiveness for thoughtless errors.
