Now, this child was in love with Nell, the village bell, who made up her mind to marry a college man, so mamma mortgaged her bakery shop to send Ambrose to Cornyell College. When Ambrose was conducted to his room by the boys he felt like a million dollars, but during the night, when he was awakened by the shrill cry of a woman in distress he felt more like two cents. It was the president's wife - she saw Ambrose reposing on her bed, and proceeded to "ventilate" her emotions. At a reception given by the Eta Bita Pie Society, Ambrose "borrowed" Cherry Blossom's dress-suit. "That's my suit - take it off," growled Cherry Blossom, one of We boys, to Ambrose, just as Ambrose was about to kiss Nell. This enraged Ambrose beyond repair, and he swore vengeance against the sassy gink, so that the next day at the baseball tournament Ambrose hit the bean-ball right square into a paste-board sign, enabling him to walk home several times, and winning for himself the enmity of Cherry Blossom, the love of his sweetheart and the $500 reward which he used to yank the mortgage off the old homestead. The wedding bells will ring yet. Written by Moving Picture World, January 26, 1918 See less
