absorbed in the city too. Well as I was saying I had a chat with Ralph and from what his wife and daughter lVIary Cshe's about sixteen I thinkj told me I understand Ralph made his fortune superintending the construction of the two immense dams across the Mississippi at St. Louis and New Orleans and also for the one across the Amazon in South America. The power plants at these dams furnish electricity for the whole world you know. Ralph drew all the plans and designs for the great structures. He hasn't wasted his money either. she continued, he has done much in the line of charity and has founded one of the largest Universities at Chicago. The same one in which Eva teaches and which also bears Ralphfs name. Everything has gone line so far, hasnlt it? I said joyfully, but I was not so gay when Loretta remarked that she was a little uncertain of hnding Irene. I received several reports as to the whereabouts of Irene and I don't know just which to accept as the correct address. But I wonlt make you uneasy, I'll simply do my best and I'll call on you again in a week. Ifthat's alright I shall go now since I'm in need of a rest. Goodbye. Again I was left alone to ponder over the news that had been gathered from the four corners of the globe. There was yet one more mystery to be solved. VVhere was Irene Waters and what was her fate? The wait did not seem long since time passed swiftly on account of my having completed the portrait of Morewineski and also for the first time in a long while making a trip to Britain for a few things that I had needed badly. I went by air though I could have gone by rail all the way to London since the tunnel under the channel had been finished. I was in the best of spirits when Loretta came again. She had a worn haggard look on her face but under it was a Hush of triumph. I began to question her but she motioned for me to sit down and began her story. i6Wh6I1 I received the message from the Communist Guards as to the whereabouts of our old pals. I found that I had four different addresses for Irene. They came in one day with intervals of about an hour between. First message was Seattle, second was Rio de Janiero. third was New Orleans. and the fourth was San Francisco. I was at a loss to know whether to go or I1Ot. Finally I decided to wait and see if any more messages came and if I1Ot to set out for San Francisco. No more came. so I Went and soon found out where she was staying. I was surprised to find her living in China town, in a picturesque dwelling along the water front. She was glad to see me and this is the story of her life. A couple of years after she left high school she taught a class in physical culture in New York City. Some man connected with theatrical productions saw her work and suggested that she appear in vaudeville in an acrobatic act. She followed his suggestion and soon became a popular star. After a time on account of the routine of the work she decided to leave it all and live an outdoor life. She then invested in an aeroplane and conducted a passenger service across the Pacific from San Francisco to Yokohama. For two years she did this but then her spirit grew weary of the monotony of this work and she looked about her for new worlds to conquer. By a streak of luck she got a chance to offer her services to the Soviet Secret Service and now is quite a power in this monstrous organization. She said she enjoyed her work immensely, for it was so thrilling. She was just about to wind up a case she had been working on for the last month or so, a plot the Chinese had made against the Soviet in the VVestern Hemisphere. That accounts for the numerous addresses I had received by wireless. She told me she could retire at any time she wished and get an immense revenue or pension from the Soviet, but she wanted to continue the work because she liked it. A Chinaman came in just then and she gave me a smile, a hasty farewell and was gonef' Isn't it great to know that all of them are successful, Loretta, and happy? I never dreamed that our class of 1922 would rise to such prominence in this busy world. When I hnish my work here which I hope will be soon I'm going to visit all ofthem and we'll see if we can't all have a jolly reunion and jubilee. Wouldn't that be great? I just know everyone of them would be tickled to death. A. N., '22. 2-I
