CHAPTER XII.
I Select My officers.


The die was cast. However the
end, whatever peril lurked ahead of us,
it was now too late for regret. The
full responsibility I had assumed al
most overwhelmed me as l first
emerged upon deck, but there came to
me also q spirit of recklessness, which
brought laugh to my lips and q shrug
to my shoulders. Why should 1 care?
1t was her choice, not mine. A moment
fingered at the port rail, staring out
into the smother oe the coming dusk,
wondering how it would all end, before
l climbed the ladder to the poop. deck.
The negro was at the wheel, while
Masters stood aft gazing astern. He
was not aware Of my presence until l
spoke sharply.

JAKE'S LoEBSTERS.-As Jake
Loeb's school board has decided on
military training in the public
schools, with rifles and uniforms for
the boys, we enter our protest now
against the adoption Of grey as the
color for the uniforms. Grey is
nice mousey color, to be sure, but it
is too modest and retiring. In fact it
is not Loeby enough. Red would be
more appropriate, some rich, fancy,
startling, sensational red. A real
lobster red would answer the pur-
pose nicely. We imagine this would
be a great inspiration to the great
American boy and help him find
suitable nickname for the high
school sojers. Boys do love nick
names, y'know. And what would be
more descriptive and romantic than
to dub the sojers Jake's/ Loebsters? ,

teachers to instruct pupils in the gen.

strong, as in cheese.
And the cadets would look so
pretty in lobster red uniforms that
the dear girls could scarcely keep
their eyes of of 'em.
We think, too, that Jinral Jake
would look better in a red uniform
than in a grey one; and that public
school army will never look right on
dress parade unless Jinral Jake hep
