CHAPTER TX.

That early spring of 1915 the two
boys and their friends and brethren
talked more of the war than they had
in the autumn, though the subject was
not at all an absorbing one; Z for the
trenches of Flanders and France were
still of the immense, remote distance.
BY no stretch of imagination could
these wet trenches be thought greatly
to concern the frat" the Lumen, or
the university. Really important mat
ters were the doings of the Track
Team" now training in the Gym"
and on the Varsity field, and, more
vital still, the prospects Of the Nine.
But in May there came shock which
changed things for a time.
The Lusitania brought to every
American revelation Of what had
lain so deep in his own heart that
often he had not realized it was there.
When the Germans hid in the sea and
sent down the great merchant ship,
with American babies and their moth
ers, and CALAMITY dying American gen
tlemen, there came a change even to
girls and boys and professors, until
then so preoccupied with their own
little aloof world thousands Of miles
from the murder.
Fred Mitchell, ever volatile and gen.
erous, was one of those who went
quite wild. No orator, he nevertheless
made frantic speech at the weeks
'frat meetings." curSing the Germans
in the simple old English words that
their performance had demonstrated to
be applicable, and going on to demand
that the fraternity prepare for its
share in the action of the country. Il
don't care how insignificant we few
fellows here tonight may SEEM" he
cried; 1--WE can do our little, and If
everybody in this country's ready to do
their own little, why, that'll be plenty!
Brothers, don't you realize that all
over the United States tonight the peo-
pie are feeling just the way we are
here? Millions and millions and mil
lions of them! Wherever there's an
American he's with us-and you bet
your bottom dollar there are just few
more Americans in this country of ours
than there are big-mouthed Holsters
like that fellow Linski! I tell you, il
congress only gives the word, there
could be an army of five million men
in this country tomorrow, and those
dirty baby-killin' dachshunds would

Robin Is inventor.

The robin lives in trees and part
ly on the ground, so that it some
times hops like birds that live in
trees, and sometimes walks or runs,
like birds that live on the ground.
The robin is a plucky little fellow.
He will stand up for himself, and
refuses to let other birds put upon
him. Generally he lives alone-some-
times with a mate, but never do you
find robins in flocks.
This little bird can claim to be the
inventor of pottery.
Look at a robins nest and you will
see that it is clay pot, set into o
pile of straw. When q robin has fin1
ished with a nest, take it and put II
on the fire, having first thoroughly
dried it. Leave it on the fire until ali
the straws have been burnt, and If il
has not broken, you will find that
you have a perfectly good earthen pot

"But you said he was treach-"

Peculiar Manx Cats.

The origin of Manx cats is now ate
tributed to the arrival of these cats
on the Isle of Man from ships belong
ing to the Spanish armada that were
wrecked there. They were probably
brought from Japan or eastern Asia.
They are a distinct species with short
forelegs, and elevated headquarters,
and differ from other cats somewhat in
call, ways, and character. They vary
in color. People who have owned them
for long periods say they are not good
mousers or hunters. In character they
are rather similar to dog, being high
ly companlonable and having some of
the qualities Of a guardian, but they
are not considered hunters in any
sense of the word.
