PAGE SIX THE COMPASS OCTOB^, 1965 \\ To Mourn A Fallen Ange n by Avon Editor’s note This story will continue on a serial basis'. A flash-hack of the previous episode will also be in cluded. Have you ever bothered to pon der on the realization that our lives are being held on a fragile balance each and every second of our sup- p o s e d 1 y meaningful existence? Would it be such a shock to you if you discovered that the fate of our known civilization was being thrown around as if it were a menial toy? What if there were beings, inhabiting this very planet, who did toss the losing dice for our mankind? Possibly, the proof of this theory lies far beyond the symmetrical proximities of our wildest dreams. There are faint rumors today, however, that someone did un veil this deep, dark and coveted mpystery. Maybe this person did encounter these unique entities. The “Angel” His name was Daniel Stone— better known as, the “Angel.” Stone was international public enemy number one and was, in deed, the most notorious. Police reports state that he possessed the rare ability to initiate an intended crime in broad daylight with death- defying boldness and accompanied by an almost perfect escape pro cedure. Because of this daring ar tistry, they gave him the name, “Angel.” Stone’s personality Probably, the most menllonable aspect pertaining to his personality was that Stone was dressed in or dinary attire and employed the use of a concealed portable jet pack about his waist which was used for propulsion and high ac celeration in flight. What the au thorities did not know until later was that the Angel was a missing American physicist who could have devised this ingenious apparatus himself. However, little did the Angel know that on a certain day, he would undertake his last infraction of the law code before divine pro vidence allowed him to fall into the hands of the unknown people. That day shall now be described: It began on a normal bright summer day in the city of La Crosse, Nevada. The sky above was one vast painted ocean of rich royal blue. Here and there one could see a sprinkling of very soft fluffy clouds that enriched the sky as does the full green lawn that enhances its landscape. The wind blew a pleasant breeze over the land making it sufferable weather for those below. The sun resembled a huge chandelier whose brilliant rays now focused especial ly on a moving object. The figure was not only alive but human. The mortal was none other than the Angel! Chapman As he hovered ... He flew in a clockwise direc tion around the city as if he were searching for something. His body was extended in a horizontal posi tion in a manner quite similar to that of the fictitious Superman. To the surprise of this fugitive who wore a light blue sport jacket, black pants, white shirt, black tie and socks, and smooth patent leather shoes, something was wrong below. As he hovered over the metro politan-sized bank, he observed that traffic was unusually scattered for such a densely populated city. Despite his doubtful intuition, he descended to an alley a block away from the bank. In the alley From his inside coat pocket he removed a pair of sunglasses. Stone slowly placed the gold rim med spectacles over his eyes which were filled with greed and expecta tion. He lifted his right hand across his well-built chest to the other side where he pampered what appeared to be a small revolver. Feeling rather confident at this moment, the Angel walked from the darkness of the alley to the sun-drenched sidewalk. Daniel promenaded rather cautiously with ostentatious sophistication as he neared the mammoth bank build ing. Daniel touched a button At the entrance, Daniel looked about himself unmoved by the abnormal serenity of the deserted streets. In his mind, all that mat tered was the handsome treasure which lay within the vaults of the edifice he was about to enter. He then touched a button on his waist which caused the light to pass through his body practically mak ing him a shadow. A surprise Inside, disguised policemen were awaiting his expected arrival. How could this be? Daniel Stone, while squandering his money on the Ri viera previously, revealed his des tination to a wooing Delilah. Now, the clever Angel must walk into a trap made by a woman! (To be continued) Lighthouse (Continued from Page 2) very proud of the work it has done in the past, and we are look ing forward to much more of it in the future. The pleasant, smiling people who greet you on formal occasions in the Lighthouse are members of the Hospitality Committee. These people really work hard and seem to enjoy it. Come by the Lighthouse some time and met some of these in teresting people. You may even want to join one of the commit tees they are on. Yoei-ar\fonr’ " M s T r" /oq? sr:' mi V-.

However, he conjectured that, although the building was sub jected to sixty-percent above its designed capacity, it was not sup posed to succumb to the pressure. Although it appeared to be a fault in the concrete mixture, the exact cause has not yet been deter mined. It was made clear that it was no fault of construction proce dure. The Contractor affirmed the fact that, before the catastrophe, the construction was one month ahead of schedule. They are now in the process of getting cleaned up and will take six weeks to get back to where they were. Although they will be two weeks behind their ori ginal schedule, they anticipate meeting their April deadline.
