"Oh---ah---Prescott, Richard Prescott ?" inquired Mr.Gadsby.
"Some of us were a bit surprised this evening to learn that Prescott, though he will continue to attend High School, has also taken a position with 'The Morning Blade.' Among other things to which he will attend, after this, Cantwell, is the matter of school doings in this city.
