" IF I EVER TRIED, I COULD "

,\ littl e more than a week ago you were kicking yourself for not having workccl harder. You were afraid of t he f inal e)\aminations , and yon dctc rminccl that this semester you would get clown to wo1·k. Yon did not put it in th e fo rm of a re olution, but :you decided you would hit th e ba ll.

Today nunks the third day of this semester. Many more days will t ome, lmt yon should have learned by thi t ime that it is not tomorrow that counts: it 's today.

You ..b ·t• w tis[ied yourself tha t " if you wan ted to you could get a nin ct r -fi\'c ". Perhaps you can. But if yon have not done it liO far ~·ou lrnYc something to pro\'c. You ca n g'ct a ninety-five or bett er, but you will hnvc to wol'l, fo r it. '!'hat means that you will han to st,nt 1·ight now. And it means that you will have to keep it up uni ii the last dny of the semester.

Can yon make a nincty-_fivc? Let's sec yon do it.

Nothing comes me1·ely by th ink ing about it.---John ·wanamaker.

Sylvester Lives When THE POINTER went on a

weekly basis the serial story, · " SYL­VESTER LIVES,•• was forced out of print because of lack of space. Since that time repeated requests have been made for its Continuance.

Pick up the thread of the story where it was dropped and follow this im­pressionable young person through his human experiences.

You remember Sylvester had, because he tried to please two girls, fallen into an embarrassaing situation. He had t aken P amela Kelsey to a. Hallowe 'en party only to meet Ellyn Foulkes there (the girl he should have been accompanying) . Knowing his pre­dicament, he told the truth to both girls, and bolted out into the night. It was while he was walking home that he met •'Dud'' Stebbins, who induced him to accompa ny him on a mission down to the ••south side ••. They had .Urted in that direction. ·

Now go on with the story

PARTY. " Dud ·s ·• arm was st ill linked

through Sylnstt•r ·s. They walked a lmo,t steal t hil~· up the dark Rteps, and hcs itnting a moment at th e cloor. " Dud " knocked.· Ile knocked. Ile did it c,·c1· so softly. Sylvester fe lt Heep,\' . Th ere .was no answer . 'l'h cy could hear t hem. sc i Yes breat he as th ey waited. Then " Dud" knocked again, tJ1 is timr a bit louder. There was no sound, but presently the door opened. Syl vester sa 11· a head peep out from behind it.

'l'h c quiet was deafening. Syl­veste r \\·anted to get in or get out. He did not want to stand there in the murky shadows. 'l'he dark­ness was depressing ; the sil ence di tracting. Why dicln 't that girl say something ? She seemed to be scrutinizing them. ·was she dumb,

or ll'as "Duel " crazy . He wai ted. Actually, t hat wait was only an instant, but Srh·ester wa anxious. He did not wan t to be seen clown here.

"Come in, · , sa id the voice. '·Oh, Regina , ' ' sa id :' Dud ",

" What 's the matted" "You better come in. " Syh·ester fe lt creepier than

e,·er . 'l'h e~- went in . The room was

sparsely furni shed, half li ghted, and 1ritlrnl lul\' in g a demeanor of comfort and mystc1·~- . " Dud " deported himself gracefully. H e had, it ll'Oulcl seem, been there be­fore.

"Sssh ! " ll'arn cd Regina, " My Dad is sleeping upstairs. "

" "\Vhe,·c 's Josie?" asked " Dud " .

'' :,; ot so loud, ' · 1·citcrated Re­gina. " Sh e can't be over for a whil e, · ' and ,l'i t hout finishing the sentence pulled " Duel " into a big chair, climbed on his lap and kiss­ed him. " Dud " must be used to that, Syl\'cstcr thought. Ile did it like a veteran. Sylvester stood above them blankfaccd.

" .Josic will be ove1· soon, little boy," assured Regina. Sylvester thought it ll' as kmd of her to ex­cuse he,· 11nrest rained affection like that.

When a knock came at the door she jumped up, and walking to the door sa id, " '!'h ere she is now. "

She opened it confidently, gasp­ed loudly, and slammed it shut. " My Gosh! " she gulped, " it's the cops!"
