atively as spokes, led the way to the outer rim which consisted of a wide, circular walk passing entirely about the edge of the grounds. All of the college buildings were grouped about this large circle so that they were readily accessible from any point on the campus. One needed only to select the spoke leading up to the building he wished to visit and a few minutes walk would take him there. Great elm trees, whose foliage and limbs so beautifully shaded the well kept grounds, made the campus a place to be admired by students and visitors alike. The next morning, after his eventful night, Cateye was hurrying to chapel when someone hailed him from behind. "I say, Cateye! Wait a minute, will you?" It was Pole's voice and Cateye turned about questioningly. "Well, what is it?" "Do you mind telling me what that noise was I heard in your room last night? You know my room is right next to yours, ..." "Noise! What noise?" queried Cateye, forgetting himself for the moment. "That's _just_ it! _What_ noise? It sounded like the distant rumbling of thunder. In fact it was so realistic that I got up and shut my window to keep the rain from beating in before I tumbled to the fact that the manufactured product was coming from your room!"

In fact if he talks some more tonight,--well, tell him to BEWARE,--that's all!" "You can hardly blame a man for making some disturbance who plows a three acre field in one night," grinned Cateye. "Is that what he did?" "Yes,--in his sleep." "How do you stand it?" "I don't stand it; I put up with it." "Surely you don't intend to keep that rube as a room-mate! Why, that'll make you the laughing stock of the college. The idea of rooming with a guy that plows fields in his sleep. Deucedly funny. Bah!" "He struck rocks, too!" "When? Where?" "Plowing that field of his." "Well, I hope he strikes a boulder to-night and breaks his plow so he can't work any more. Either you get rid of that guy or I'll change my room!" "Go ahead,--change your room!" Cateye looked at Pole defiantly. "I will, if that nut
