(A contiiiued story}
CHAPTER I '
Nobody Twtfuld have ever sus-
pected that trouble would brew
in such an unexpected manner.
Even on that night when; but—
I am getting ahead of my story
If it mugt be told, surely the
tiling Should proceed in chrori^
©logical order. ko beginning
dt the first; I will &t£6mpt .tQ
explain the tragedy; arid sh6w
How £hat bold desperado Wil-
cox came to shoot his, superior
officer and roommate' Lieuteh-
aiit-Coloriei Bob Williams. It
isn't a story of the wide open
spices, the ranch" or range, the
battlefield, nor yet the yegg-
infested city pf- Cftiicago. But
iii every sense of the word it is
a terrible story of crime com-
mitted on our 6wn campus, and
iri our Own ba'rracks, the well
known Fort John.
Friday night of November—
192—, the inmates of The Barn
slept peacefully, riot too peace-
ifiilly ,for their, terrible snores
sounded like the groanings of
the doaid arid dying in' the
bio6dy, battle of Austerlitz.
FW lights Were burning, for it
wa? one o'clock iri the morning.
Thipse whieh remained lighted
w£re in the rooms of "Speedy."
Wells, Bob and Barney, arid
Midal^brioks,1 , ,
Msijor 'Wilcox, leaving his
room, ste^p^d info the room of
~ s to pass the tiriie of day.
., J, acf. doing, the inrioceiit
form of Fish Hatrimqrict cairie to
their attention. 'His 'mouth
gaped open, a deep sonorous
roll came from his body, and
he slept. i?fcocurihg a tube of
fpqth paste. Wells managed t6
drop some of the Contents Into
Hammond's mouth, which Ham-
mond proceeded to masticate
with all good will. On arous-
ing, hi discovered . his plight
and spat it out with fierce re-
marks about the kind of a trick
it was- Immediately' a league
was formed, to anoirit\ all the
6th,er fresfim^n : in a similar
mariner. ^ .....
This wag carried out; and
ter all had been knighted by
this Royal Order of Iparia, the
Colonel, who was now in bed,
came to the attention of the
marauders. A pitchy of water
was called in, aiid through an
open window Williams was well
drenched., The rogues retired
to tRe/ hajl, where njuch loud
talking ensued and finally re-
paired to their various rooms.
Wilcox, on attempting io en-
ter the rooiri, discovered that
he was locked out; so by prying
up a winclow, he gained accesB
to the interior. Noticing that
William^ was awake, he asked,
"What's the idea lockin' me
out?"
"What's the idea of all the
disturbance in the hall?" shot
Willi&riis.1 , 1
"Say, boy, don't get hard; I'll
Idy you like a Sidewalk," from
Wilcox. '
Arid' so on—far into the
night-—at least for fifteen ihin-
utes—arid in very loud voices
for the. benefit of those who
were awake.
In the end our martyr, Wil-
liams, invited the desperado,
Wilcox, to tike off hifi glasses;
aiid 'd desperate striiggl6 #at
su6d in which Williaihs was
choked. ( In turn, he riianaged
to deai Wilcox, through a cloiid
of profanity', a cut under the
eye. And so was bred thcf
blood fued Which led to suclj
disastrous results, as will be
told in the—•
' ;2rid chapter n&xt Week.

One more week and they will all be gone.
Women don't miss this big hose event;
These are Allen A, Ruby Ring and other
famous brands, first quality, perfect, full
fashioned, pure silk chiffon and service
weight hose, only $1.39.
We have started a hajrd ta^k;
in drilling with the rifltes. But
it does hot look so awfully hard
for: Company B, because she is,
getting right to work and learn-
ing how to do it. One reason
why Company B is getting it
is that they have been out at
the "Rookies" drill ; and anoth-
er reason is that they are try-
ing while Company A is not.
The captain says that drill is
one hundred per cent better
than it was the beginning , of
the year, but that is not what
we want, Company B. We want
to be so good that we can beat
Company A in the competitiye
drill., \ .. , v
To do that is to get one hun-
dred per cent better, 'than you
are. Wbat do you say that we
beat Company A on November
11? The different platoons
have their permanent officers;
so they can, get down to hard,
earnest, well-organized work.
If you will drill as hard as
you can, Company B, you will
beat Company A.

SILVER RIDGE MAJD
I met on old Snake Creek bridge
Just below the Silver Ridge. ,
Her hair was as black as the
night,
Her eyes were hazel, and her
face was bright.
She smiled a smile with those
rose-petal lips,
That thrilled me to my .finger
• tips- ■ ' ;•
And 0! Those eyes that laugh-
ed. at me
Were more romantic than I
could sefe.
From whence she came I never
kxiew,,
'Though .she surely had fed of
honey dew.,
Under the perfect blue of na-
ture, , ,
Stopped this, w.onderously beau-
tiful creature.
She discovered for me that lit-
tle part,
The romantic division of my
heart. -
Before the time for introduce
• tion,
She left me for gain or des-
truction,
And I stated, beneath t^.e shade
That mine eyes should again
behold tbis inaid.
—Bill
BROWN EYES
I walked beneath the twinkling
stars,
And a lovely creature walked,
with me.
The very air was tinged with
romance
Like the quiet calm of the sea.
My arm encircled her pretty
neck,
And her big brown eyes shown
bright.
She seemed quite contented,
Alone with me' that night.
Naw, friend, don't let your
piijd mislead,. ;

The following! letter was' tak^n
from "The Tatler," student publica-
tion of Mullin High School. . .The
letter'was written by a Tarleton
student, and contains,' some good
advice for fiigft Icliood' students: :
Editor's Note: The following let
ter was received from one of our
iformer students, a graduate of
1927. Some good a^ice i? given
to, the students of Jtufiiti. High
School. "
Stephenyille, Texas,' Oct 12,1927.
Mr. John M. Scott,
Mullin, Texas..
Dear Sir: 1 ,
I feel ag if I ought to write to
you about the school here. X shall
address my, remarks to the 11th
:gra<le; mostly. If you ithink it
worthy you may publish it Jn The
Tattler. Y
I want to say this to the students
of M. H. S. Tarleton: is a school
founded for. the benefit of Worthy
young men and woineri. If yo>l are
expecting to go to John T^rletpn
Agricultural College you will have
to get down to it and 'dig. Now is
the time to get your foundation
fop college work. You can't play
along and ma^e ,Tarleton or aiijr
other college.' It requires some el-
fort on your part.' If you. have
tried in high school. you will get
help, here; if; you, have 'got tried
you will riot get much encourage-
ment and help from the instruc-
tors. ■
'You bpys sit around all day and
sigh about how hard your work is.
"Your work is dead easy., If you
were in'Tarleton you would think
it hard. At Mullin' you'are; made to
get your work,; here ;yOU are, not.
When you go to class you take
your seat anjd behave -and that is
all that is all that, is required of
you. . If the' teacher, asks ypu, a
question - arid you don'tknow it
they:don't "keep y9u,ih."■■/ :
They don't even ask yog. why yqu
don't know it. They Just mark you
0 and pass: on. *■
When a student,.is, found who
does not get along1 well %his stud-
ies. the teachers aayl "He .played
around. while h,e was in nigh
school.". That is.it, every time, too.
If you have a g.op,d foundation you
can make the work but you have to
work. , You seniors think that you
know a "lot" when you have; finish-
ed high school. Well here they
think you know, about as much as
you think the little Primer folks
know down there at home. .
. You .howl an^ grumble because
ypur lesson , periods are , so long.
Well, herd we have one hour per-
iods, and when that lesson is over
we don't ge^toigo to the-study hall
and rest Ijke you do,, but we have
to go to another class.
• Bttt witH aji that, it i$. a great
lifii arid we have' lots of fun, You
boys don't know what you are,miss-
ing until you get up enough cour-
age to make; your work there so
you .c^n, come jip here, . , /
Tolling you again that ; you had
better dig,.if you want to, go to
college, I remain,
■. ' Yours truly, ■'
. iLeonard L. Williams,
Box 291, Stephenville, Texas.

I ever knew :
Were th4 dries that recalled
The days with you.
Wfien w^ talked of friends '
That we JoVed so true,
And all the. pranks we.
Used to do.
Oh, the joy of it, i
With ;p4l lik^ ihat
To recall old times
In a, f^i^iidly chat;
And talhl lqrig hours
Of a certain girl
That we, used to love
Iri our boyhood world .
HoW, good t'would be
To live them o'er,
Or even to know
There will be more;
When we can live
In the present days
And recall old memories
Of bygone days,

Oh, the fun in it
And the comfort rare'
T? be'together '
And our secrets share,
To tallc and tell ( • . Y
