He accordingly hailed his pupil, who was wading through the mud to get across the street. ““Have you seen my friend?”’ he asked. “*Yes, sir,’’ replied the student, paus- ing respectfully in the midst of a mud puddle to remove his cap. ‘‘He is at the corner waiting for you.”’ **Good,’’ replied the professor, looking over bis spectacles. ‘‘] thank you.
