To an observer, all these trucks and motors and people would present a kaleidoscopic view, rushing hither and yon in endless procession, too numerous to catalog. This same observer is standing on the corner of Forth and Vine Streets at the foot of the immense stone building there while waiting the arrival of Professor Hill with whom the observer is to confer and as he waits he reflects upon all these things that have gone to make up the whirl of life for soon by aid of the Professor he is to station himself atop the tower of this building to view with marveling eyes the invention of the Professor's called the Futuron. The chme that remembers the future And through its mysterious lens he will see ten years from now N wport quaint little town in the South separated from Cincinnati bv one river and one atmosphere In the heart of the city and of imposing pomp stands the Newport County Court House wheie sits the master mind of law and order fan order of soupl Robert Broer ing deciding the questions of right and wrong with mdif ferent ease punishing the guilty restoring Justlce and balancing equations in ns spare moments The next buzz of the indicator points to the sunllt wind ing road that stretches its way toward Lawrenceburg, Ind. -'neath nodding bowers of apple blossoms and honeysuckle vines, and also nodding 'neath the curly maple sits a man in honest endeavor sleeping. Upon the ground near his feet lays his stove-pipe hat which has rolled from his head. The white cravat is loos- cned and mussed as is his tuxedo, but what cares he? This man has presumably been dancing the long hours of night through, for in his hand is tightly clenched a card upon which is written Phosphine, Main 2656-R. At this moment a truck bearing the name L.

and seizing Edwards between them place hlm tenderly in the rear and drive on The delicate buzz of the indicator causes us to hear a boomlng voice which calls George Endebrock' George Endebrock' and the lens unfolds a line of distinguished soldiers standing at attention in the ball park around and about them stands the yelling mob a sea of faces tense with the excitement of the moment when the ten bravest men are to be honored with medals in reward for distinguished bravery and unfailmg loyalty The commanding officer approaches Endebrock and pins ten medals upon his chest Again the whlrr and click of delicate machinery and this time the lens reveals the dazzling beauty of a mammoth building dwarfing the one upon which the observer stands shooting its imposing majesty to the dizzy heights of the sky, from top to bottom the surface carved in bas-relief, its gold-bronze doors reflect the rays of the sun and the white- ness of the stone is soft. Each curve and arch, each scroll and leaf in perfect array, a classic in art and design and a harmony of frozen music. Inside the corridor which was last to be finished stands a throng of visitors who see the inscription, over the do-ofr, with admiring eyes, Harold G. Hoeb, Architect and Builder. Hoeb, himself, is at this moment hidden deep in the basement far from prying eyes reading Shakespear s Macbeth or How to behave at a Banquet. But a change takes place for the proJector becomes black as night save for one bright spot that becomes brighter stlll as moments pass The b11ght spot IS that of twelve large arc lamps under which we see a square of canvas bounded by ropes Three men are moving about in this space while thou sands of people watch with intense interest Two of the men are weaving ducking crouching their bodies are bare except for the small trunks and shoes The look on their faces is determined grim courageous persplratlon covers them from head down and both are battered and bloody Their movements are lithe and powerful their arms swing and move in lightning like stabs, they mutter through clenched teeth as they sparr for a fatal opening dancing swaying weaving waiting with impatience the precise mo ment to hit. One of 'them is charging now, rushing at his opponent like a whirl-wind, fists flying, throwing every ounce of weight and power at his intended victim but he misses the mark, for Heeg, the Killer from Mohawk, cunning master of the gloves, dodges the intended blow and like a master sends his antagonist to the floor with a cool, calculated, well timed blow to the chin. As the third man slowly ends the count over the still form on the floor the howling mob overwhelms the ropes and lifts the victorious Heeg on their shoulders, but he silences them for a moment and then says in a tenor voice: I owe my success to College Algebra.
