The final - debate in the interclass

the assembly period. It was between
the Seniors and the Sophomores. II

cision of every judge was close. Tht
question was:
"Resolved, That the United States
government should acquire control oil
the Colorado coal mines"
The Seniors had the negative side
which was upheld by Leslie Tiltor
and Thomas Wilson, who had pre-.
pared a very well organized debate
The affirmative was defended by the
Sophomores, Estele Needham and
Lula Earey. The decision of the
judges was in favor of the negative
thus giving the Seniors the cup for
one year.

Chapter III.
The day was hot in FL Centre, bu
Algernon found Dunaway's delight
! fully cool. All day he mingled will
! the crowds who entered the store
weary with heat, to be rested and re
freshed with cool ices and drinks, dain
tily served.
Noon was an especially busy time
for many came to lunch on delicious
sandwiches, coffee and pie.
But not for one moment did AL
gernon allow his purpose to waver.
At last, as the hands of the clock
pointed midnight he sought Ange-
lima.
AT Intervals through the day he had
been busy with pencil and paper. Now
he handed the paper to Angelina.
For a worthy cause and to prove
my devotion" he said, 81 have this
day consumed 25 dishes of sherbet
and ice cream, drank 30 glasses of
Shasta water. | have eaten a total
of % sandwiches and taken cups
of coffee. Could any man have done
more, oh Angelina ?"
And Angelina, gazing in awe at
the line of white about his set lips,
answered softly:
"From this day ! shall never doubt
your devotion"
Later, as they sauntered slowly
down the street, a spark plug burned
out and the lights went out. With
elasped hands they walked past Salo-
mons.
Angelina" Algernon confessed;
duty compels me to say | never could
have done it if everything Mr.. Dun
away served had not been simply per-
fect'
"Oh,' she breathed, promise never
to forget Fountain Day at Duna-
ways"
81 PROMISE" said Algernon, in tones
of deep conviction.

taken by the French when they
stormed and won Hartmonnsweiler-
kopf:

Hartmannsweilerkopf in a rain of
shells. For eight days we fought the
French for a bit of ground 200 yards

fore the rain Of the enemys shells

There is no longer single tree OF
bush on the plateau Nothing but
shell holes, one alongside the other
Our trenches were demolished in q
very short time. The troops which
occupied them were in such state of
collapse from the nerve-racking fire
that as soon as the enemy attacked
they were taken prisoners without re-
sistance.
81 owned a splendid 'dugout.' All
of a sudden a 220-milimetre shell
shot into my sleeping room by one
side and out by the other, bursting
just behind. A pile of brown rocks
burst through the roof, and the whole
thing was 'caput' | had another one
made behind the rocks, but the shells
still reached us. | at once changed
the place, putting myself behind an
immense rock A few minutes later
big shell fell right on top of il.
Fortunately for me the fusee flew
out and all the powder in the she'll

over me. I have not been able to
wash it off and am still as yellow
