"Is that all you've got left, Mr. Blodgett?" asked Sam. "Don't call me Blodgett. It isn't my name. I told you my name was John Wharton, of Harvard College." "You said Warburton five minutes since," said Sam, dryly. "You didn't understand me," said Abner, rather embarrassed. "The names sound alike." "I don't believe any of the names belong to you. Now, when are you going to pay the rest of that money?" "I told you I knew nothing of your money," said Abner. "Then why did you give me that five dollars back?" "Out of charity." "Then I wish you'd give me a little more out of charity." "I have only enough to get me back to Cambridge." "By the way, Mr. Blodgett," said Sam, slyly, "what do you use to make your mustache grow so quick?" "Nothing at all. What makes you ask?" "When I saw you two days ago you had none. It's grown pretty well for so short a time." "I can't stop talking with you any longer. I must go out to Cambridge. I have a recitation in Latin in two hours." "May I go out with you? I would like to see the college." "Can't see it to-day," said Abner. "It isn't open to the public on Saturday." "That's strange. I can go to Cambridge, can't I?" "If you want to; but there isn't anything to see except the college." "He don't want me to find him out," thought Sam. "I'm bound to go if he goes." "I guess I'll go," he said, quietly. "Come along." Abner unwillingly started with his unwelcome companion, and walked slowly to Bowdoin Square. "There's the cars," he said, "just in front of the Revere House. Jump in, and I'll be with you in a minute." As he said this he dodged round a corner and Sam found himself alone. "Just as I expected," thought he. "That fellow isn't a Harvard student any more than I am. I'm lucky to get back part of my money. Perhaps I'll get the rest out of him some time." He got into the car which had been pointed out to him and inquired of the driver: "Does this car go to Harvard College?" "It is a Mount Auburn car, but you can get out at Harvard Square." "I guess it's all right," said Sam to himself. "I might as well go out and see Harvard, as I've got nothing else to do." CHAPTER XXVII. SAM IS INITIATED INTO A COLLEGE SOCIETY. Before Sam reached Harvard Square he caught sight of the college yard and the numerous buildings of brick and stone which had been erected within it for the accommodations of the students. "It's a pretty big place," thought Sam. His ideas of a college were very vague. He had fancied that it consisted of one large brick building, like the New York public schools. "I wonder what they want of so many buildings, anyway?" said Sam to himself. "There must be a lot of students."
