Ames. July DIR. Fred Law. an '09
graduate of the veterinary department
OF the college, and captain OF the
famous 0S Cyclone team died Nom
day afternoon at Lake M;nnetonka,
Mimi, according to word received by
the veterinary department Of the col
lege.
The first word received here stated
that DIR. Law had been drowned, and
that heart failure was the immediate
cause. 1t was learned later, however,
that it was really not case OF drown
ing The story as told over the tele-
phone TO friends here is as follows:
With a party Of friends and rela-
tives Law and his Wife had gone to
Lake Minnetonka to celebrate the
Fourth. The entire party had been IN
swimming and were leaving the water
when Law noticed that his sister-in-
law seemed TO be struggling. He was
good swimmer, so he Immediately
went to where she was and succeeded
in getting her into row boat, and
started TO climb in himself, only 10
fall over backwards into the boat dead.
NO water was found in his lungs,
and it is thought that the physical ex-
ertion, coming as il did when he was
already tired from swimming was too
much for a weak heart.
Since leaving college in 1909 Law
has held an excellent position with
the Minnesota livestock sanitary COM
mission. state bureau. He was mar
ried last year to a Minneapolis girl

 Penrod looked crestfallen. "Then he hasn't taken to drink?"
 Certainly not" She emphasized the denial with pretty peal of soprano laughter.
 "Then why" asked her brother gloomily, ''why did Aunt Clara look so worried when she got here?"
 Good gracious! Don't people worry about anything except somebody's drinking? Where did you get such an idea? ?'
 "Well," he persisted, 'you don't know it ain't that"

CHAPTER V.
School.

R " EXT morning, when he had
 NH once more resumed the dread
 N full burden of education, it
 seemed infinitely duller. And yet what pleasanter sight is there than a schoolroom well filled with children of those sprouting years just before the teens? The casual visitor, gazing from the teachers platform upon these busy little heads, needs only blunted memory to experience the most agreeable and eXhilarating sen sations. Still, for the greater part the children are unconscious of the happi- ness of their condition, for nothing is more pathetically true than that we never know when we are well off," The boys in a public school are less aware of their happy state than are the girls, and of all the boys in his room probably Penrod himself had the least appreciation of his felicity.
 He sat staring at an open page of a textbook. but not studying, not even reading, not even thinking. Nor was he lost in a reverie. His minds eye was shut, as his physical eye might well have been, for the optic nerve, flaccid with ennui, conveyed nothing whatever of the printed page upon which the orb of vision was partially focused. Penrod was doing something very unusual and rare. something al- most never accomplished except by colored people or by boy in school on a spring day-he was doing really nothing at all. He was merely a state of being.
 From the street a sound stole in through the open window, and abhor- ring nature began to fill the vacuum called Penrod Schofeld, for the sound was the spring song of a mouth organ coming down the sidewalk. The win dows were Intentionally above the lev el of the eyes of the seated pupils, but the picture of the musician was plain to Penrod, painted for him by quail

relative was shown and, finally, the drunkard's picturesque behavior at the portals of a madhouse.
 So fascinated was Penrod that he postponed his departure until this film came round again, by which time he had finished his unnatural repast and almost, but not quite, decided against following the profession of a drunkard when he grew up.
 Emerging, satiated, from the theatcr, a public timepiece before a jewellers shop confronted him with an uneX- pected dial and imminent perpleXities. How was he to explain at home these hours of dalliance? There was d steadfast rule that he return direct from Sunday school, and Sunday rules were important because on that day there was his father, always at home and at hand, perilously ready for ac- ton. One of the hardest conditions of boyhOod is the almost continuous strain put upon the powers of invention by the constant and harassing necessity for explanations of every natural act.
 Proceeding homeward through the deepening twilight as rapidly as pOssi- ble at gait half skip and half canter, Penrod made up his mind in what manner he would account for his long delay and as he drew nearer rehearSed in words the opening passage of his defense.
 "Now, see here," he determined to begin. "I do not wish to be blamed for things l couldn't help nor any oth- CT boy. I was going along the street by a cottage and a lady put her head out of the window and said her hus- band was drunk and whipping her and her little girl, and she asked me wouldn't come in and help hold him. So I went in and tried to get hold of this drunken lady's husband where he was whipping their baby daughter, but he wouldn't pay any attention, and I told her I ought to be getting home, but she kep' on askin' me to stay
 At this point he reached the corner of his own yard, where a coincidence not only checked the rehearsal of his eloquence but happily obviated all oc- casion for it. A cab from the station drew up in front of the gate, and there descended a troubled lady in black and a fragile little girl about three. Mrs. Schofield rushed from the house and enfolded both in hospitable arms.
 They were Penrod's Aunt Clara and cousin, also Clara, from Dayton, H., and in the furry of their arrival every body forgot to put PenrOd to the ques- tion. It is doubtful. however, if he felt
