called him crazy, but his life was
beautiful and happy nevertheless.
He was creature of the out-of-

day, talking to birds, and flowers,
and butterflies. Nothing ever hurt
him and he never hurt anything
that met him in his wanderings. I

interest from this money is to be
devoted to the work of the Boys

work, carried on under the leader

boys and girls into partnership

ALt-SEEIN0 PERiSCOPE
Grant M. Hyde

Can a submarine captain see all
around his submarine with his peri
scope, Daddy, or can he see only in
one direction?"
Some can see all around and
some can't. There are two kinds of
submarine periscopes. With the
older kind, which was the only one
in use until recently, the submarine
captain can look in only one d.
rection at one time-he must turn
the periscope around to sweep the
horizon. While he is looking in
one direction, another boat may run
up on him from behind. The newer
periscope, known as the universal
observation periscope, gives him a
view of the entire horizon at once.
1.-The older single-vision periscope
Gig. y is a simple device, con-
sisting of an iron pipe sticking up
from the boat, with an eye at one
side of the top end and a squint-
hole at the bottom. The reflection
that comes into the eye at the top
is reflected downward by a mirror
set at an angle. Another mirror at
the bottom turns the reflection
into the eye-piece, or squint-hole.
Lenses L) inside the pipe enlarge
the size of the image-just as the
lenses in a fieldglass do. To look
around him. the captain turns the
periscope around, and gauge tells
him in which direction it is pointed.

CHAPTER II.

The Klimacks Khan of Oakdale
High was not a criminal organiza
ton. it was not exactly illegal, buI
it was distinctly secret and defin
itely under cover.
Three years before few ambi
tious fellows had tried to start
fraternity in the school. but "Old
Henry" Weatherby. the principal,
vetoed it. Poor "Old Henry!" His
ancient eyes looking through his
antique spectacles were not as
keen as they once had been. He
didn't see very far, and so the boys
were able to get together and form
secret society of their own. So
ciety that satisfied them very well,
indeed
Year after year the Khan thrived.
Each year a few select ones under
went the terrifying ordeal of initi-
alton, and each year the Klimacks
engineered things so that they ran
all the affairs of the school.
There were brains in that Khan,
no doubt of that. But their auto
cratic methods were not popular.
Among the "Barbarians." as the
outsiders were known to them,
they went by the name of TX. X.
Klique."
Hostility that had been smould-
ering for some time broke forth
Immediately after that to 6 de-
feat and the Jeffries-Talmadge

Tom had been meanly treated, got
their heads together and planned a

But the Klimacks, as usual, were
Keen-they were not to be Kaught.
Somehow they heard about the
coming raid and were on hand we'll

Shoes, bottles, literature, and
even a brick or two, were passed
back and forth so violently that q
couple of neighbors telephoned for
the Oakdale police. Klimacks and

Beaten; Bad scrap is Result
Because George Jeffries lost his
temper, he lost his head. and be-
cause he lost his head, he lost the
first important football game Of
the season.
Seven to six is about the most
provoking of all football scores-to
the defeated team. Jeffries lost
the game. 7 to 6, 1t happened this
way:
With the score double zero,
and the end of the third quarter
approaching, Oakdale High had the
ball well into the opponents terri
tory. 1t was the third down with
three yards to go.
Jeffries called back Tom Tai
madge, the speedy end, to carry
the ball on an end run. Tom
started, stumbled, and fell. An OPP
posing tackle jumped on him and
Oakdale faced fourth down with
thirteen yards to gain.
Cant you stand up?" bawled
the enraged Jeffries. He called off
signals for forward pass and shot
the ball out over Toms end.
IF you're any good, get that"
he shouted .hoarsely. But no
player, lacking a fleet pair of
wheels, could possibly have got it.
In his anger Jeffries hurled the
ball like bullet Is yards above
and beyond Tom.
The opposing halfback seized it,
made wide circle, lodged a cou-
pie of times. and ran IS yards for
a touchdown. Goal was kicked and
the score was 7 to 0 against Oak
