Those who have been with the Vagabond on some of his previous journeys may know that he too is an admirer of Alice and her wonderland friends. It is only the pressure of routine affairs that kept the Vagabond even these few days from telling of a conversation he overheard as he lay musing in his Tower the other night. Alice, apparcutly, had been reading over some fables; and, as usual, trying to make conversation:

"Everybody knows", said Alice in a very grown-up manner, "that Achilles could really beat the Tortoise in a race. Some of these stories seem so silly."

The Hatter was ever ready for an argument and on hearing this opened his eyes very wide. Then, with a scholarly nonchalance:

"It all depends on who gets the start."

"I don't see what difference that makes," retorted Alice. "Achilles could run much faster, you know."

"I see you don't know your early Greek philosophy," said the Hatter pompously. "Zeno proved that the Tortoise would easily win. For while Achilles was traversing the distance from his starting point to the starting point of the Tortoise, the Tortoise would advance to another point; and this procedure would go on ad infinitum."

Alice thought she had better change the subject.

"Would you like to watch me do my archery practice?"

"I should like to very much." said the Hatter. "But, you know, the arrow will never get to the target."

"I'll have you know," answered Alice a bit peeved, "I'm not quite so bad as that."

"Oh, it's not you," expounded the Hatter. "It's the arrow. You ought to know that so long as anything is one and at the same place, it is at rest. Hence the arrow must be at rest at every moment of its flight, and therefore also during the whole course of its flight."

"Just the same," said the March Hare who had not been very interested until now, "I'd just as soon, if you please, not get in the arrow's way!"

And with this the Vagabond awoke from his reverie and remembered that he had work to do. Professor Demos in Emerson A at 10 this morning will lecture on, "The Sophists".

"Formulating the American Peace Terms", is the title of Professor Baxter's lecture in Harvard 1 at 11 today.
