F owerc Death T WAS a clear, chilly night. The Strange Success Follows Teddy's So it was that he had come to desert stars in all their glory Failure make his home on the edge of the blinked and nodded at Theo- Gobi Desert.

The in- By Evangeline Ehm, '33 himself, two native Buddhists, his vigorating wind whipped the sand into miniature hills and ruffled his hair into glossy black waves. But one glance at T eddy's pensive, grey eyes, melancholy yet tender with their remembrances, would have told any observer that the young man's thoughts were far from the haunting beauties of the desert. His old-time friends and associates, and his previous carefree life passed in review before his mind's eye. Then came the university, the professors, the work, and the play. How hard some of the 'fprofs had been! In the memory room of his acute brain, one never-to-be-forgotten incident stood out intensified. Teddy saw again the huge, orderly laboratory, his two superiors, Professors Glugmeyer and Smitson, and the attentive stu- dents. YN ith crystal clearness the slender tube containing a purplish poison flashed by. In quick succession he visualized his trembling hand giving the tube to Professor Smitson, the upsetting of the tube on the professorls hand, the ghastly green look that passed over Dr. Smitson's face, his fall to the floor, and the consternation of the students. Of course, there had been a hearing before the stern and domineering Professor Standard. Such colossal carelessness is inexcusablef' he had remonstrated. Professor Smitson has, for- tunately, recovered. Otherwise I am afraid I could not afford to be so lenient. I feel sure I am doing the only just and right thing in dismissing you from the university. His concluding phrase was uttered in a low, sad voice. He, as well as many others, liked Teddy. The young outcast knew very well that any attempt to enter another university would be futile. Having no desire for work of any other nature, he decided to do what he had hoped to undertake later, under more favorable condi- tions. Always possessed by a love for the tractless areas so commonly thought useless, his curiosity concerning them was insatiable. So he made his plans as he began to grow older, and started his work. The difiiculties were great and he was alone, yet he glorified in his semi-hermitage and was happy. Perhaps a day would come when he would prove to the university that he was capable of do- ing things, even though his one mistake had been on the borderline of tragedy. It was toward that distant and sometimes obscure goal that Teddy strove. collie, Pal, and a number of farm animals. A long, rambling affair, the many- windowed, brown, wood house was as conserva- tive as its owner. The truck garden at the rear was faithfully kept by Teddy, his collie some- times attempting to weed it for him. It was only occasionally that Teddy's thoughts reverted back to his former life, and tonight was one of those occasions. Wfhistling softly, he got up, his wiry frame towering high above Pal, who regarded him with mingled affection and admiration. VV ith a swing- ing stride he started on his nightly walk into the desert. , VVhen he reached his favorite night-blooming cactus, he sat down and watched the huge, showy flowers slowly unfold. The fanlike petals spread themselves and formed a saucer of yellow and red variations, completely demolishing the glowing beauty of the sea-green petals. The long, serpent- ine stamen hung over the very lip of the Bower. From nowhere came an indescribable shade of blue which seemed to cover the flower with a mist-like splendor. A pungent odor pervaded the desert night while the exquisite loveliness of the plant dulled one's senses. VVith a shake of his head, Teddy threw off the spell of the plant, grasped one of the Howers firmly and raced back to the bungalow. Upon reaching the room. outfitted as a lab, he immediately sank his prize into a chemical solution that he had pre- pared, and set it near the window. He made sure the bunch of artemisia still reposed in its basket of earth and left the room. Tomorrow would do. Rising early the next morning, Teddy went immediately to the lab and began to work on what he hoped would be a new species of cacti. After carefully separating the plants, he took immature seeds from each ovary and tediously blended them. As the sun was going to rest, he planted the finished product near the truck garden and resigned himself to Waiting. Three weeks later Teddy's vigilance was re- warded by the sight of a tiny, mossy patch. Two months after this discovery, he again was sitting beside a cactus, but this time it was one of his own making. His consternation knew no bounds when, without warning, all three of the bluish-green flowers with stunted thick stamen si- lently detached themselves from their prickly stem and, wafted by the ever-increasing wind, -..H 17 13..-
