He is six feet tall, has light hair and blue eyes and a very pleasant grin. Although he is light haired he is far from being light-headed lie is a very remarkable boy, but girls, don't set your caps for him because he is bashful. His only ambition is to be a farmer, although he doesn't want it gen' erally known. i Blanche Vivian Lisherness - Blanche Vice President of Senior Class, Address to lhidergradnates, Preliminary Speaking 1-lj, Vivian llrew in Senior Play, Pro- fessor Pepp just take one look at her picture and you will know that she is pretty, sweet, studious and quiet, but not always, for Blanche enjoys a good time as well as anybody and is very fond of danc- ing and other sports. She hails from a farm in South Strong and we have an idea that she likes there, too, lVe all suspect she 'll make a charming teacher after she attends Normal, anyway, her pupils will be sure to adore her. Florice Louise Johnson - Fudge Fudge must be the Flapperu of our class. Her affec- tions are very changeable, although her heart usually rests in Farmington. Needless to say she is fond of dances, and zfvry, 1'f'ry fond of Peanuts . As we see Fudge now, her French bob is done up and she has adopted Paris' latest styles.

if THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT 9 1715, I' 4 X9 THE KILLER HE day was clear and bright, not a cloud was in the sky. It was just the time of year when all mankind gets uneasy and nature is preparing for a long sleep. There was a cabin in the center of the clearing completely surrounded by the heavy forest of the great northwest. A man was seen coming out of the forest fol- lowed by a large dog. As the man ap- proached the cabin he was seen to adjust a heavy pack which was on his baek. He also had some supplies on the toboggan which he was hauling. He was a young man about twenty-five or six years old. He had a good muscular hgure and would weigh about one hundred and seventy pounds. His hair was almost black, he had clear gray eyes that, when he was looking at anyone seemed to look right through them to their inner souls. On the whole he was a very good looking young man. As he neared the cabin he was seen to hitch his revolver within nearer reach of his hand. After satisfying himself that the way was clear he approached and entered the cabin, the dog following at his heels. Every little while he went to the cabin door and looked out. After doing this sev-- eral times he came back, sat down beside his dog and talked to him. XVell, Boyar, I wonder what the lady would say to last night's work. Three years ago she told me I wasn't good for anything and that I had better go some- where and live with the savages who were nearer my level than she was. I've made a name but maybe not a very good one. They call me 'The Killer'-some name, eh? VVell, I've earned it! Two fellows last night but it wasnt my fault. They both died with a gun in each hand. The law will not touch me for getting rid of a couple of bad men. Two and four make six, doesn't it, lloyar? I don't think I've forgotten my schooling yet. l wonder what the lady would Six killin's to my name and more coming. NVell, good-night, old fellow. and keep a close watchin l'Vith this command to the dog he went to his bunk and laid down. The dog curled up in front of the fire-place, with his eyes roving between the door and his master. Meanwhile at the Fort the population was all excited about the recent visit of The Killer. But the people did not offer to go get him Hlld bring him to justice. The next morning the mail arrived and with it on the sled was a young woman, who gave her name as Helen VVright. She appeared to be about twenty-three or four. She was of medium height with dark hair and eyes. Her eyes had a hopeless ex- pression as though she had been hunting for someone and had given it up. She asked to be directed to the hotel.
