County was announced as the
high standing man Of the senior
class with an average of 96.2.
B. H. Wigbels, also Of Lafayette
county, was second with 94.6.
Mr.. Slusher's record at Went
worth has been remarkable, as it
rarely happens that a senior
leads the entire school in schol-
arship. His three older brothers
won similar honors while they
were at the academy.
Cadet Captain Beck then on
behalf Of the students present
to Capt. S. Sellers, Jr., who is
to be married, a handsome sill
yer pitcher and Captain Sellers
responded briefly.
After the ceremonies IN the
gymnasium the battalion was
marched to the drill grounds and
passed in review before the
senior class. Then in front of
the barracks, Major Palmer, mil
itary i instructor, presented to
Cadet Captain Smith of the best
drilled company, a sword. The
band played "Star Spangled
Banner" as the flag was lowered
and the commencement exer-
cises were concluded.

an attack from the east. Each
company had with it a piece
of artillery.
The most novel feature of the
occasion was the appearance Of
the hospital squad. A number Of
the men of this squad were
CARRIED more or less accurately
as Red Cross nurses and they
strenuously gave first aid to the
wounded. Several others were
made up as doctors, equipped
with saws and picks. From one
wounded man the doctors ex-
tricated a bullet some five in
ches in diameter, much to the
amusement of the crowd.
After the 'battle" there was
recreation for the remainder of
the afternoon.
Reception and Ball.
In the evening, beginning at
$3.50, the annual reception and
ball took place in the new gym
nasium. The fact that the build
ing had been completed but q
few days before made elaborate
decoration impossible, but the
generous dimensions of the new
hall, the attractiveness Of the
room itself, and the smooth
floor made the place infinitely
more acceptable than the ole
drill hall.
Al the east end of the hall was
the platform from which tn,
orchestra played. This wa

mencement program consisted
of the graduating exercises at
1920 Tuesday morning. The
fact that DR.. D. D. Munro, pas
tor of the Calvary Baptist
church at Kansas City, was the
speaker of the occasion brought
out an exceptionally large au-
dience. Again the exercises
were held in the gymnasium.
Music was furnished by the
cadet orchestra. Rev. R. N. Al
lenlen, pastor of the Methodist
church, offered the opening
prayer and pronounced the ben
ediction. Col. S. Sellers, super
intendent of the Academy, pre-
sided.
DR.. Munro made a telling talk
to the cadets. By his introduc-
tory remarks he showed that he
was keenly isterested in manly
things and straightway won the
interest of the boys. He spoke
of the First Cause and the
thought Of the future as guiding
humanity in all its actions. "Tht

At two o'clock the sham battle,
which is always interesting to
the spectators, took place on the

Usually at nine O'Clock they stroIled
into the study and smoked one OF
Brood's cigars with the gusto Of real
guests. 1t was their habit to saunter
about the room, inspecting the treas
ures with critical, appraising eyes,
very much as If they had never seen
them before. They even handled some
of the familiar objects with an air OF
bewilderment that would have done
credit to Cooks tourist 1t was also
a habit of theirs to try the doors of
a large teakwood cabinet in one cor
ner of the room. The doors always
were locked, and they sighed with
patient doggedness. Some day, how
ever, Ranjab would forget to lock
those doors, and then
"Joe," Mr.. Dawes, after he had tried
the doors on this particular occasion,

poor Jim get married again. I'll never

three months. Sometimes he cried

to the egotism. HE would have

They sat down and pondered.
"Jim's getting mighty cranky of
late" ruminated Dawes, putting away
at his unlighted cigar. Its a caution
the way he snaps Freddy off these
days. He-he hates that boy, Joe."

"Confound you, don't you know a

Dawes, who, in truth, had whispered.

She laughed suddenly and unnatu-

the stairs. He followed more slowly,
his puzzled eyes fixed on the graceful
figure ahead. At the upper landing
she stopped. Her hand grasped the
railing with rigid intensity.
Ranjab emerged from the shadows
at the end of the hall. He bowed
very deeply.

was bright and gladstone, without a
shadow to mar its new beauty. He

The girl flushed and looked at Fred

his own cigarettes. Yvonne lighted
one and then stretched herself COM
fortably in the Morris chair In which
no woman ever had appeared comfort
able before-or since, perhaps.
"You should learn to smoke" she
went on.
Mother wouldn't like me to smoke"
said Lydia, rather bluntly.
A faint frown appeared ON Frederic's
brow, only to disappear with Yvonne's
low, infectious laugh.
"And Freddy doesn't like you to
smoke, either, ai-e?" she said.

was, as usual, watching her face with
rapt interest. He caught the curious
transition and involuntarily glanced
below.
The heavy curtains In the window
of his fathers retreat were drawn
apart and the dark face of Ranjab the
Hindu was plainly distinguishable. He
was looking up at the window in which
Mrs Brood was sitting. Although
Frederic was far above, he could see
the cleaning white of the mans eyes.

Fresh from its long run at the

cellence for the picture patrons Of

comes George Kleine's 5-reel feature
film, "The Naked TRUTH" which will

the romantic life so characteristic of
modern Paris, the carefree existence
which has become synonymous with the
Latin Quarter.
The story is a fascinating one. Lo-

in Paris, poses for Pierre, a young
painter of great promise, and togeth-

the grand prize at the exhibition.
