TWO ASSISTS: TWO ERRORS ( Continued from page 6 ) dismal as a tomb. And still Mckee sat on. Wild thoughts of bloodshed and murder came into his mind, only to be succeeded by ones of greater carnage. And still he sat on. Finally, when he had given up all hope, the teacher stirred in her seat and looked toward him. Well, Mr. Mckee, what explanation have you to offer for your failure today? she asked. Mckee said nothing. It isn ' t only for today that I made you report. I wanted to warn you. I ' m getting tired of your silly, childish attitude in class. Lately, you have been trying to amuse the others by little tricks that don ' t amount to anything. If they were only funny, it would be all right. By they aren ' t even funny. They ' re only the antics of someone who tries to be funny and can ' t. I want you to stop. Will you ? Mckee looked genuinely sincere as he answered, HI try. I ' m glad to hear it, for you ' re too big a boy now to be wast- ing your time the way you do. You ' re way down in your stud- ies, and I know it ' s not from lack of brains. A boy with your ability ought to make a great deal more out of himself than you do. You ' re wasting time. Today, you did recite fairly well and you could do so every day, because you have the ability. I wouldn ' t waste my time if I were you, but would try to get more out of it. Will you try to get more out of it ? Yes, answered Mckee, the picture of determination. Now from here on, I want you to take some interest in your work. That ' s what you ' re here for. What are your par- ents sending you here to school for if it ' s not to study ? Aren ' t they putting themselves out to accomodate you ? And you are not justifying their efforts in the least. Mckee, from here on, I want you to pay attention to your studies and make your par- ents and your school proud of you. I will, said Mckee, in a voice that had that of any prodigal son skun a mile. And then to carry out his good intentions and to show that he was in full faith he meekly inquired, What ' s the lesson for tomorrow? Ten minutes iater, Madam Hart was preparing to leave the room when she heard through the open window the sound of the basement door open and bang shut. Simultaneously, the corridor door opened and some one passed out. Yay, Bugs ! came a greeting. Yay, Mac ! Where you been ? Reporting to Dame Hart. [25 ]

No, quoth Bugs Sawyer, You don ' t say. Moral lec- ture? What ' d you get it for? Dunn just gimme one. A boy with your ability, ' and all that stuff? asked Mc- kee, wearily. Yup, and give your parents some return for sending you here. Same here. I got that too. Well, said Bugs, I got one thing out of mine. What ' s that? I got my mark changed from 60 to 72. Huh ! snorted Mckee, the penitent, in derision, That ' s nothing. Do you know what I did ? What ? I got the marks of everyone in the division for this term. Book laying right in front of me. I got all of ' em. My own made me weep though. Sitting idle at her desk, the teacher gazed up and down at the rows of hackneyed seats with rising emotions. The slight breeze, coming in at the window, flicked the curtain to and fro, and stirred the papers in the file. Faintly in the distance came the joyful snicker of youth. — 1915- Jflen Those who have earned their CU for Base-Ball (not including the sea- son of 1913) are: Cornelius Condrick, ' 15; Leo Fraher, 14; Harold Glos- ter, ' 14; Vincent Gorman, ' 15; Vance Monroe, 15; Russell Reilly, ' 14; Frank Vender, ' 15.
