thtjrsday pebimjary 6th 1836 the acton free press paob fh ttx ulif firpi flrfaa ljnrt torg shadows on the curtain by earl silvers he rumor spread around tho few nights later when was stand campus as such things do that lruj at ho entrance or the kings build fred livingstones vote was all lng barrlck joined me again good even that had kept hugh barries out of the lng general he said isnt there scarlet club the sophomore who told me about it explained thai harriet was really the most desirable man in the preshman chus and that all ol the other un were eager to pledge him at the conclusion of rushing week however he had definitely re joe ted their invitations announcing tht he preferred to join the scarjet dub although he waited until midnight lor their told it did not come the truth of the matter was that the members had not elected him the next day he appeared on the campus minus pledge button of any kind be held his head high and gazed defiantly upon the college world but there was puzzled light in his y3 and the smile on his lips was not altogether pleasant one early in the afternoon he happened to meet fred livingstone at the entrance the old kings build lng barrlck halted im riot wearing qtiuo conceive of frcd having girl up pledge button as you can see ho an nounced bluntly perhaps you can tell ruling here at college that girls arent allowed in the dormitory at night yes answered olrls arent allowed upstairs in the dorm at any tune except when accompanied by chaperon why its thk way ho stated reluctantly last night was coming home from down town it was about ten oclock guess when saw girl outlined on the shade of one of the windows in wuletts hall which room was it asked the north corner room on the second floor ho cald dont know who lives there but well at least ive done my duty iro passed on down the campus path when lie had gone stood and won dered what it wa all about the north room on the second floor was occupied by fred livhigslone and could not theru at ten oclock at night it was possible of course that barrier roe why wasnt elected to the scarlot may have been mistaken but ho could club not have told mo story like that wlth frrd was surprised for moment by the directness of the freshmans attack but ho anuwered quietly enough such things arent tulkbdttboutrt5anick tra qrry if youre disappointed not half so sorry as am said baxrlck but you may bo sorrier be fore this incident ended it was of course almost unheard of effrontery for freshman to speak to sophomore in that way but uvlngutono was an easygoing chap so he simply nodded noncommlttolly arid passed on couple of nights later when was sitting on the steps of wuietu hull he told mo about it as most of you know have been tluj night watchman at rati tan college for over thirty years the boyti call me general cobb although am not mill zt tlon of the college buildings elancid tary officer when fred found mo alone wuuu up at the end room on the second door on the dormitory porch he sat down beside rne general he asked do you know freshman named hugh bar rltocj just by sight answered uo you know him fred not especially well the sophomore rested his elbows on his knees and spoke evenly wss impressed with him when orst saw him ho is good looking as you know he has assurance and poise and is just the type to make ah excellent hnpresaion believe wherever he goes nothing wrong so far suggested tw some of the fellows over at the scarlet club considered him just the out some bonis of fact the only thing could do was to keep my eye on the dormitory and await developments about li ahappy experience in wuletts 1111 and the dean had ruled that anyone break ing that particular regulation would be expelled from college so far as knew fred uvingstono was line upstanding young man since tlie time of hu entrance no one had uttered word of criticism against him the more thought about the matter the stronger became my conviction that barrlck had cither imagined the shadow on the curtain or was attempting to aroinuj my suspicion without just reason kept my eyed open however and about tenthirty the next night when was returning from tour of lnspec there outlined against one of thu drawn shades was the unquestionable proillo of girl thure was no denying tliu she was hatleoi apparently for could see her hair which was curly as looked she raised her arms and held them out in front of licr then she hook her head stood up and passed out of the circle of light for moment was unahv to believe my eyes but the evidence was dearly before me jdeeply puxxled hastened across the campus and entered the dor mitory no one patxied me on the stairs li dut when opened the door of livlng tnarj we were looking for and auinrested iv tht vv rtftjttt stones room the study wan deserted mat we rush him so we had him to hi dinner and ho mad hi hit bumm1 tau no but lor some reason no dldnt alto tw btthar appeal to me told that wutloajjy hu motsrw dejand hlstatas thd study and rz the compact wuj hr unelled an actor and he said that he going out for dramauca here at college 3fo eavv us some imitations of famous actors and everybody thought he was great still nothing wrong put in suppose not agreed sred but couldnt get it out of my head that ha wasnt all tliaf lie prounded to be about week ago when was driving through westvuie where he lives stop ped in at his high echool and asked hu principal about him anything happen then vfcll tile principal told me that bar rlck was real actor and uiat lie had oil kinds of talent some of his teachers uspected that he cheated in his exam inatlons though they couldnt prove sti id wia prluc pal seemed to think tliat ha lorceu to wasnt another to be tzti reaciedztf anyway decided that the scarlet ohm and so you blackballed him ouwasjrunklypu to compact tiie air nmelled vaguely of perfume went ttcroa the hall to the quarters of ounlor named wulum jocnmau he was lying half asleep on the window seat but he sat up and greeud me pleasantly enough hello gcncrall whats on your mind itm looking for fred livingstone explained have you seen him not since this afternoon answered dcmnan and grinned think he has girl friend down town and is probably there anything wrong no answered jlkt wanted to ask him about something returning to tlie porch waited for curred to me that possibly hugh barrlck might vbe mixed up in it some way ho might have induced girl acquaintance of hli to come to freds room and stand in trie light although that seemed hardly possible nevertheless kept strict watch upon tec cornctroom ossoanssits came dark early in tho evening saw fred pull down the shades then was called to another part of the campus and it was after nlno oclock when returned to wuletts hall struck by an impulse mounted the stairs quietly and opened the door of william dcnmans room william had gone out so sat down on his cot and decided to wait the dormitory was quiet far down the hall some one strummed for time on mandolin and then desisted finally the clock on the mantel struck ten and had just about decided to go out to the campus when heard soft footceps approaching some one comb down the corridor opened the door of living stones room and closed it crossed the corridor and pushed open the door of the comer room seated on the window seat in direct line with the light discovered girl and am forc ed to admit that my heart missed beat her face was turned toward me pretty face with red lips and pert noso well said sharply what ore you doing here unexpectedly sho turned away from mo and covered
