My itliun mater was fur itieii :i!uiu but there was a girls' enlloire not ten miles away. We wore thinking o much about how to worry the faculty of that Institution that we had little time for study. I wont to college at sixteen, nnd In all tho Greek dramas and such learned perform ances I was Invariably selected for a girl's pint,. My chum. Billy Fitzgorald, was another follow cast for feminine parts, and. when dressed to go on. no one could over toll us for boys with a magnifying glass and a searchlight. What with rehearsing and playing our parts before audiences wc learned to act the girl perfectly, even to disguis ing our voices. "At Jones college ours was Green; I'm a Green man, you know thoy have an astronomical observatory. One night in the week the class in astronomy vis ited tho observatory for a look at the heavenly bodies. It occurred to mo that It would be a good scheme to dross as a girl and go in with tho crowd. I hnd a cousin In .Tones, nnd when she enme to the term In which she could tnko astronomy as an oloctlvo I per suaded her to chooso that study. So. ,ou soo. what Madge knows about tho stars is duo to my wish to play tn prank. Good reason, wasn't It? "I took Billy into tho scheme with me, nnd one day Madge told the professor of astronomy that she was expecting her sister for a few days and would like to have her look through tho tele scope, when the class visited the ob servatory. Tho professor gave the de sired permission, and it happened Just happened, you know that another girl of the class.

Tom wns halfback on the football loam and no, more fit ted to personate a woman than n vgnzollo. Wo tried to dissuade him. but It was no use. lie got himself up as best ho could, and Billy and I put a few feminine touches on him to help 111 in out. Wo three follows went to the observatory on the night In question It happened to be clear and all walk ed In with the crowd. "There was a little telescope screwed on to the hl one. called a finder. It had a big field of view so as to find the object wanted. One of the senior class who -was making a specialty of astron omy had charge of the instrument, and when it eamo my turn she looked through the Under while I put my eye to the big tube I was so Interested at the proximity of her cheek that I didn't see any stars. But I controlled myself, and when Billy went up to have a look he did the same. "If Tom had behaved himself and kept his mouth shut we would have all j;ot out scot free and no harm done What did he do when Ills l urn -a ne to look but blurt out in that confoiindt'i! gruff voice of his: " I want to see Venus.' I "Thero aviis a babel of feminine voice at tho time, but Tom's sonorous ro- quest sounded llko a blow on a bass drum. Thero was no more doubt thai tho speaker was a mun than thai 'the earth was turning on its axis. Billy and I wore, of course, scared to death, and If wo had had Tom whore we could have punished him we would have beaten the life out of him. But we got even with him. for when the professoi asked lilm who he was and what ho was doing there in dlsgulsu I set up n opr.iii" shout' 'The villain" How dure he!' which Billy rollowo.il up with. 'Girls, let's put him out!' "The BtiidentH didn't know thnt Tom was ejected by two men. They could not have done It themselves, nor could we if, when he showed light. I hadn't whispered In his ear.
