Mission Dolores Clement Barry Reed, Law '27 IYhen first I saw thee through the fronded palms That deck the street where modern life holds sway I smiled a bit, thou seemedst so old and wan, So out of place, the wreck of earlier day. Yet as I gazed upon thy graying walls And bells long voieeless at the vesper hour, A transformation broke upon my gaze, Thou art not old, or worn, or reft of power. Thy message is eternity, not time. Thy light irradiates supernal thingsg Thy calm is symbol of life's work well done, The peace and rest which faith enduring brings. Dolores, rest thee in the twilight glow While lingering o'er thee Vesper's star appears, Forgive the thoughtless earping of my mind, Unaged thy lessons in the aging years.

At least anyone would have thought so that had heard Luxor chat and laugh, as his great big eyes rested on Euclid. He himself seemed to have no doubt. Epsom would have gladly doubted, for Euclid was everything to him g and he fretted to think that all his thoughts, and worry, and labor, had been in vain, and that he must cede the palm to his hated rival. Now, the Euclid that was bothering Epsom, was not the Euclid with whom we have wrestled more or less successfully in our high school days. Epsom had never heard of him, nor had the problem anything to do with any of the theorems invented by that old Greek to worry youthful hearts. His Euclid, the only Euclid, was Euclid Lillyfoot Moody, the third and principal part of the companyg and the problem
