Now I wonder if the culprit is in there doctoring my cup. He got up from the platform, re-entered the main room, and phoned the Police Department for some men. While awaiting their arrival he mounted guard over the laboratory door. In a very short time the expected squad had joined him and he opened the door. Inside the fatal room were a dozen boys, all bending over the famous cup. On examining his treasure, Mr. Potter found that every 1920 engraved on it had been changed to a 1919. The policemen took charge of the first class, and removed them from the building. A few moments later, Mr. George Sabine Potter was sitting down in the big chair in his comfortable office again. Suddenly everything in the room seemed to change. The news-ticker with its buttons vanished, and, looking around, Mr. Potter saw that he was in the old oflice at 1827 Pacific Avenue. I thought something like this would happen, said he, my imagination is too vivid. Still, knowing that, I should not have read that wonderful story in the last SHIELD, called 'The Silver Cup'. R. L.

THE POTTER SHIELD The Silver Cup Mr. George Sabine Potter was in his comfortable Office l d t f School building. The office. was a remarkable one. . It hacill been IED2lf6i1I1Zb51E1dOYl1ZI3, carefully in Mr. Potter's mind before the old bulidmg ha even e . h d t . and as a result it contained a number of conveniences for .the bbuibil Gad H1215 Eg' By far the most unusual of these was a little ticker standing Y 9 S1 9 V0 9 desk, and labeled School News. The ticker waslprovideydgwitlg a Isftlpfpbutlilons, some of Whlch 1-93.51 f'Mr. Damon, 'Miss Adams, Eddy, S1011 Y 3 .9910 eff, .Shield Editor and Secretary By means of this convenient appliance Mr. Potter could find out the latest news from one of the personages named on his buttons, for after a minute the proper news would come out of the tlcker. Also anyone might communicate with Mr. Potter through the Same tlckef- Having examined the most interesting feature of the office, let us pass on to its owner. Mr. Potter was at peace with the world for two reasons: first, the parents of his pupils had all paid their bills, and, second, he was asleep 1n his big chair. . i , t This happy condition of affairs did not last long, for the little ticker Jumped, so did Mr. Potter. In a moment the following news came out: 12:30 P. M. THE CLASS CUP WHICH WAS WON BY THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-TWENTY, HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM ITS PLACE IN THE MAIN ROOM. DETAILS UNKNOWN. DORIS MCLOUGHLIN. in the new Potter Mr. Potter rushed out of his office, bounded up the stairs, and in another minute was standing in front of the glass case in which the cup had been kept. It had disappeared lv The glass cabinet was still locked, but the pane in front had been smashed, and the fragments were scattered over the floor. All the other cups were in their usual places. Hal said Mr. Potter, who had just been reading a detective story, this is a recent crime, for no one would smash that glass in front of a whole study hall- no, it must have been done during the lunch hour. Besides, what criminal would take one cup and leave so many? There must be some reason for this. Perhaps it is some enemy of the class of 1920. The school must not know of this. They must be kept out of this room. Let me see-I must put a sign on the door. I will say, 'The Chemistry class is operating below you.' By the way, someone is in that l2lb01'al301'Y-I can smell something now,-and no one has any business there at this hour. I must see about this. He prepared to leave the room. First he hid the rest of his cups in the waste- paper basket, covering tkiem with crumpled yellow paper. Then he threw the glass out of the window, so that any watcher would believe that he was a playful student. After that he pQaced a sign over the large doorg HSPECIAL PENMANSH 'fThere, said he, Mtn Cautiously he stole C IP CLASS Fon ALL THosE wHo w1sH TO ATTEND. at will keep them out.

THE POTTER SHIELD THE FRONT YARD The Camp Oflicially it is true that there is no connection between the Potter School for Boys and El Campo-Lagunita, but in setting aside a little of the SHIELD space for camp doings, the always-right editor has simply taken into account the interest shown by the boys of the school from the time When Mr. Anderson and Mr. Duff established the camp in 1914 down to the last official order of Mr. Goodwin ' T' M ' ' s'-fss:2'::--- f ' SV''sf::?as2Q pil,-if.-W'..:.s:.S.':2.:' 7 7 Y. .
