6 SPECTATOR QA Case of Identity' J. Milton Murdock, '17 'Noticel S5000 Reward for Capture of Red Sturdyl' Hello! that sure is some amount! Thus spoke David Alloy, red-headed, six feet two inches of human brawn. Alloy had left his Wife and come to Alaska recently to try his luck in God's Country. However, his efforts had been unsuccessful so far, and he had just about made up his mind to leave the country, when he noticed the large poster nailed to a tree. After reading it again, he went quickly into his hut and fitted himself for a long journey. In an amazingly short time he came out, pack in hand, took a last look at his rough shelter, and started merrily up the trail, muttering, I'll get that money-or-. ll' Ik Pl' 4' ik Ik Ik He was gone a week before he succeeded in finding a sign of the fugitive, Red Sturdy. Then he found a trail in the mountains and one evening, after following this trail all day, he was stooping over his fire frying fish, when a crunching of the snow attracted his at- tention. He turned slowly around. Instinctively his hand went up to his gun. A man staggered out of the bushes, looked around furtively, and then crouched by the fire. Can't you give a fellow something to eat? the stranger asked, as he noticed Alloy. I'm just about all in! These last words aroused David to action and soon his guest was eating dry bread and salmon ravenously and gulping down hot coffee with such rapidity that David feared the consequences. Well, that sure was good! It's pretty lucky I happened on your fresh trail. I guess I would have starv- ed if I had to go thru another night without grub. It is lucky! A fellow doesn't come across luck like that very often--but, tell me something about your- self, and Alloy sat down beside the fire.

G., '11 How lovely, dark, and long doth seem that night When in the shadows Sleep doth hesitate, While patiently thou for thy rest dost wait, Or else dost cheer the darkness into flight! Far off across the city, what a sight: The darksome mist of night with evil freight With faint red light is streaked. The gate Of dawn's ajar. The sky becometh bright. On such a night I saw the waning moon, And stars fade with the coming morn. A dog Far 03 across the town did howl. And blue Against the sky a tower rose. Then soon Each twig on the horizon through the fog Was tipped with opal fire and rosy hue.

SPECTATOR . 7 VVell, you see, I have a pretty good life to live: my wife is the finest little woman in the country, and I've a good home to live in with five dandy kiddies running around. I started on a little journey for moose and got caught in the blizzard night before last and lost all my food in a fall. I tried to reach camp, but failed, and this morning I struck your trail. It looked fresh and so I thought maybe I'd reach your camp before night. And here I am. Well, that is good work! It's not every time that hard grit and pull come, out on top. But that little home reminds me-I've a pretty nice little wife and boy and home myself! Alloy pulled a picture from his inside pocket and handed it across the fire. Ever watching him sat the man across the way. He carried two big revolvers-one on each side-and kept a hand close to either of them. Once, as he was looking at the picture which David had given him, he glanced at his host thru the corner of his eye and then whispered to himself, It sure is Red! Look at that beard and hair! That's Red to a T. I'll wait awhile before I put the cuffs on him. That is a peach of a gun you have on the left there. David interrupted the man's thinking and then added, May I see it? The man passed it over reluct- antly, though David was unaware of the hesitancy. He examined the gun closely and discovered the name Red engraved on the handle. Like a flash it occurred to Alloy that the man across the fire was the one he sought. May- be he had trailed this man, who, in turn, had discovered his motive and had come back to turn the trick on him. He would keep a close watch! He laid the gun down and then asked for the other one. The man shot his hand down quickly to his other gun and at the movement, David's hand slipped around his own forty-eight. Both men hesitated and raised their eyes: then David's hand withdrew and the man passed over his other gun. You see, I carry this little one along
