I I l 1 l i 4 L l s '. 6. 5.6, p Hail to the First Class Hail to the First ClaSSl Hail! Three times Hail! If they don't go to Heaven, They'll sure go to jail- Now show lots of pepper, Give three cheers for each, Make 'em good and loud, And see how far they'll reach. I Now, here's to A. Bachman, First on the list, He can take three from four And think none are missed. II And here's to Speed,' Dohrmann, Our great Hwrecklesst' driver, He never plays craps For less than a fiver. III Next to HFat Griffen He can hit it a mile, When you see him run bases You can't help but smile. IV Now, three for Bob Jackson. Come on, make 'em loud. When the girls see HIM coming, They form a big crowd. V Three loud ones for Knight And his Skeleton Bandf, His Clike AleXander'sD Is best in the land. VI Come on, now, for Jack Lermen, Our great first-team flinger, IVhen Lick saw him play They thought we'd a winner. VII Put some pep in McGaw's- He's an eminent writer.

IX And, now, three for Horace CThey're twins, so I hearbg Just say Cupid's Delight, And he'll bring you in beer.

I THE POTTER SHIELD His daughter fell down on her knees and clutching her father around the neck, answered, Yes, daddy, she is still alive. But hurry 5 I don't think she will be with us much longer. And oh! she does want to see you so badly 5 she keeps calling your name and praying for you. Lennard took a deep breath, and with a mighty effort struggled to his feet. Thank God I am in time, he muttered, and taking his daughter's hand, he managed with a superhuman effort to force his way through the blinding snow and terrible wind. They reached the house in safety and entered the room in which Mrs. Len- nard lay at the point of death. Her hands were clasped as in prayer, and she was moaning, 'fBob, oh, my Bob! where are you? Lennard stood still a moment 3 then, staggering toward the bed, Alice! Oh, God! here I am, dear, here I am. At these words the dying woman raised her head as much as she could, and whispered, Bob, Bob, my husband! I knew you would come. Oh! how happy I am! Now I can die in peace, dear, for Almighty God has answered my prayer and brought you to me. Her dimmed eyes could not see the painful, ragged and exhausted condition in which Lennard was, and a faint smile showed on her thin pale lips, as she knew her Bob was near. Lennard was speechless with grief. He put his arm under his wife's head, and gently kissing her cheek said, Dear little Alice, I hope, dear, that before you go you will forgive me for the way I have treated you. Since we came out to this cursed country I have changed from a loving husband to a poor savage brute, and oh, God! I realize what I have lost, lost forever. Alice, forgive me for it, and as you go, dear, think of the happy days back in the East when all I had was you and all you had was me. The little woman looked up and tried to smile and said softly, Dear Bob, I forgive you for it all. I knew you still loved me, and I prayed God that before I died you might come to me and say it yourself, dear, as you used to before we came out to this awful country. And when I'm gone, Bob, take good care of the children. They're yours and mine, dear, and you must be both father and mother to them now. Her voice was dying away and Lennard saw that the end was coming fast. Alice, he said, I solemnly swear never to desert the children, and to take the best of care of them as long as they need it, in loving memory of you. Good-bye, little Alice 5 farewell forever. A Lennard looked down at his poor little wife and saw that her soul had taken flight to its Maker, with a little smile on her lips, and his arm under her head. BALDWIN MCGAW, '19, Thirty-seven

In HUIP' ' to THE POTTER SHIELD The Twentieth Century The telephone bell rang insistently from a table in Stanley Fording's apart- ment. He crossed to answer it. Hello. Oh, yes, Mal. What's the matter? What in the deuce! Come down? Say, man, do you think I'm a horse? Eh! Damnation! I'll be down right away. With a mind half dazed Fording rushed across the room, got into an overcoat, and a few minutes later was breaking all the speed laws in the state. As he got out on the highway his mind began to readjust itself. Dave killed? No 5 it couldn't be. Why, only yesterday he had been watching the final test of Dave's new insu- lation and listening, for the two hundred and tenth time, to the explanation of its purpose and possibilities. Murder-that was it. The formula would be of immense value to any of the rival concerns, but which of these could it be? There wasn't a single one that would dare to stoop to such a dastardly act 5 but the fact was there- Dave was killed. ' He turned down a side road and about a mile from a little town came into sight of a cluster of factory buildings with a smaller white edifice set off nearer the road. In front of this he stopped and a minute later was met by the plant foreman, who, without a word, led him into a large room. It was a typical research laboratory such as are being invested in more and more by concerns of the present day. Completely equipped down to the smallest detail with electrical, chemical, and mechanical appliances, it regularly formed the work- ing place for a staff of scientists whose sole object was to turn out a more efficient and more perfect product. A The room which Mal, the plant foreman, and Fording entered was oblong in shape and equipped principally for chemical research. At both ends were cases containing many varieties and forms of chemical apparatus and chemicals. A table running down the center of the room had on it an electrical furnace and several other bulky pieces of apparatus. But down the other two sides of the room were long tables, each having a large sink in it. In front of the left of these, Fording's eye fell on the still form of Dave Mowbly, his college companion and co-worker for six years. It was Stanley who possessed the keen scientific insight, but Dave -a chemist-was the genius. For years it had been his dream to succeed in per- fecting a suitable insulation for a lighter and better storage battery. And now, just at the point of success-+death. Stanley's hand trembled and he swallowed hard as he stooped and gently lifted off the rough blanket that had been thrown over the body. Dave lay with his head on his arm, as if he had suddenly grown very tired and gone to sleep. At any rate, Stanley thought death had come easily and without pain. He got up abruptly and, with the foreman, walked into the outer ofiice. He looked up questioningly, and the latter began his story. About half an hour before I rang you up and just after I had dismissed the vat-house crew, at about ten, one of the men told me he wanted to turn up some work on the lathe, so I came over here for the new cutting tools. I also wanted the quotations on that lot of hard-rubber sheeting you ordered last Week: From where I was I could see the light in that room there?-he pointed to the room from which they had just come- where Dave said he was going to worknlate tonight.
