as a scapegoat for what was evidently
his own crime. Discovering that his
movements were being followed, Blake
had undoubtedly slipped the incrim-
mating evidence into Jacks desk and
had now turned the young man loose
with the Golden Buddha in his posses
sion, to be pounced upon by the spies
and probably murdered. The gates OF
the aIeient native city swallow up
many a victim.
All at once Jack started forward on
run to overtake the spies He would
give them the bag containing the
Buddha and bribe them into momen-
tary blindness while he made his es-
cape. When he came suddenly upon
them they were as diligently pursu-
ing another person, and that person
was Mr.. James Blake. whose dapper
person was walking with nervous
haste toward the rendezvous he had
named to Jack.
Jack reached the spies and thrust
I the bag into the hand Of the nearest.
The man laughed in his face and toss
ed the bag contemptuously back. point
ing at Jimmy Blake as he did so. Then
the three spies outdistanced him, and
Jack was left gaping after them.
He opened the bag and saw for the
first time what the spies already guess
ed. The blue cloth wrapped box that
had contained the Buddha was there,
but it was empty. James Blake, ter
rifl,ed for his own safety, was proba-
bly, trying to pass the precious image
to some confederate for safe keeping
until after the government had been
placated by the sacrifice of a victim.
Jack was to be the victim. Now he
understood, and he shuddered for
James Blake.
He threw aside the bag and turned
to retrace his steps toward home. All
at once a cry rang through the streets
followed by a great silence. and he
shuddered.
For he knew that the Golden Buddha
had claimed another life and that
James Blake would scheme no more.

The Junior class is hard to beat,
Because they study all the time
And they are striving very hard
hehill of success to climb.
They always have their lessons well
And are never known to fall
They go through the books like race hors
or as fast as boat can sail.
They are always ready to help others,
And those who are in need
Are always cheered by the Juniors,
BY some kind and friendly deed.
Their aim is to do what good they can
And make the world better each day,
They are always ready to lend hand
To those who are IN dismay.
They are considered as the best
Ofany class in school
Because they work the hardest
And live up to the Golden Rule.
No matter what folks may say of them
They DO not care Zig
But no matter where you nnn them
Their motto is always dig
Kilyi! XII vi! XII yippa! XII zlgs!
The nifty class that always digs
Whonre, who are, who are they?

ice box and bar fixtures and
throw them into the street,
where they went sailing down
with the current. Then the pole
emerged and proceeded on down
the street, looking, as Bendetto
expressed it, for another saloon.
