"I'm on my pedestal again," announced the Wee One when he had climbed back to his commanding position. "Fire away, and I'll pass judgment with the help of the whole jury, Frank Armstrong. Have they asked you to come into the fold?"
"That's just it. Cuthbert, of the baseball team, and another fellow I don't know, came around half an hour ago and asked to see me alone. They fired poor Lewis out of the room, locked the door, and then began to ask me fool questions about myself. I didn't know what they were driving at, but after a while Cuthbert stopped beating around the bush, and asked me how I'd like to wear a Gamma Tau pin."
"And you said you'd rather have a rose," interjected the Wee One.
"No, I didn't. I just said I hadn't thought about it. Apparently he had the notion that I should have fallen head-over-heels into the plan. I hadn't been thinking about any such possibility, and I sat there like a dummy."
"And what happened? You are killing me with impatience!"
"Well, they began to tell me some of the advantages of belonging to it——"
"And some of the disadvantages of not belonging, eh?"
"No, they just hinted at those," said Jimmy, smiling. "They said that I had made a good showing in football——"
"No credit to them," snorted Frank.
"And that if I kept on there would be a good chance for me to make the captaincy, if I came into Gamma Tau."
