] HIS PATRIOTISM AND LOYALTY
TO COUNTRYMAN ABOUT TO FAIL
CAUSES GONZALES’ DOWNFALL
W HEN Juan Ignacio Gonsales
•ailed from ths balmy shores
of Nicaragua nine years ago It
was with a light heart at.d his lazy
brown eyes smiled a fond farewell In
the hope of returning to.be great among
hi* countrymen. Just at a moment
when his studious efforts were to be
crowned with success he sinned.
Sinned for another.
The handsome little Spaniard has
been a student at Alabama Polytech-
cnl Institute, at Auburn. While a
member of the student body he work
ed hard. At examination times Jusn
'entered the dess rooms with a confi
dent air.
Another of his countrymen who had
come to the United States on a like
mission as Gonzales was the latter’s
undoing.
They sat next to each other at • re-
cent examination. One had mastered
his studies; the other had not. A look
of appeal, a gesture nmy.be of despair
touched a sympathetic chord In Juan's
heart.
He never debated the moral features
Involved, but thought of his fellow-
countryman who had failed. If a heart
coufd be made happy and fond parents
In the little South American country
be made glad and joyous wasn't It
worth slnningT
Thus thought ths studious youth. A
moment later a deft hand had placed
a correct solution or a calculus exami
nation at the disposal of the despairing
laggard.
Things would have gone well and
E robably this story would have been
urled like many another but for the
calculating presence of an alert pro
fessor.
When this wise Individual read the
forged examination and then pondered
on the work the laggard had done dur
ing the year, he was positive there had
been a bit of chicanery.
Juan, when faced by the tutor, ad
mitted having helped hla countryman.
Shortly after this little tragedy In
the college world was enacted Juen
found himself entering the academic
building of the Georgia 8chool of
Technology with a hopeful yet un
steady heart.
President Matheson listened to tha
confession, for, to the mild mannered
young Spaniard's credit, he told all.
"And you would have been gradu
ated this year?" questioned the presl-
JUAN IGNACIO GONZALES.

his degree at Auburn for assisting

thought Juan, I T II return to my batmy
land and make an aged father and
mother happy In their declining years.
Visions of great engineering feats
formed hla dream caatlea. It was a
sad awakening the next day when the
strict rules of tha Georgia Institution
forbade entrance under such clrcum
stances.
Juan didn't flinch. He's not that
kind.
Strolling across ths campus the
downcast heart, howaver, voiced Itself
through the big, laay brown eyes and
a faraway look of sadneaa shadowed
the handsome fare.
