'CHAPTER< TWELVE "Gocdbye, Mr, Chips" Those four years were difficult years at Brookfield, what with the scarcity of masters, the military activities 'of the school -- for it was training the older boys to be officers with the army in France --and an occasional air raid. But Chips was happy; he, too, was serving his country in a way, des- pite his more than forescore years. He found time to keep his pro- mise to Young Peter Colley; every few weeks he ran over tp Char- see Helen and her baby son who had the blond hair of Peter and a head that promis. ed to develop into one just like his father's. Chips refused Helen's urging to have another piece of cake. "No, thank you. I always eat too much when.1 comé here. Well, young Colley," he said to the baby in his high-chair, "that's a fine mess you are making! This young fellow, must come to Brookfield, Helen" "Of course. The Colleys have gone to Brookfield siice Queen Anne died. Peter counts ¢n that for his on. Peter always asks after you in his letters." "We're even then. His tome are full of you." letters "I like to think ..... to hope ...... that he'll be back before the leav- es Tall.' Peter Colley Kiiled . "There's every. hope, Helen -- hope of peace. Beats me," he ad- ded, smiiing, "how -any war could last so long with a Colley in it." "Oh, 'o think of living without fear again--without trembling at the sight of a letter or telegram. cw..Surely, we shall never again take our happiness' for granted." It was but a few weeks after- ward that Chips stood at the lec. In his hand was the "latest casualty list. Trying to master a great emection, be spoke: "Froth "every point comes news of hope--we can say at last with- out fear that the end is in sight. HE But even in victory we have cruel news to bear--Ilosses that "are the more tragic because peace 's so close at Jrand." He looked at the casual shock, and continued: " 'Peter Colley, Lieutenant .in "the_Coldstream Guards, was killed in action during a trench raid on tle night of November 8th. He remainad in full view of the en. emy in order to rescue his bat- man, Perkins, who had fallen fat- ally wounded ...... Both men-died- - 'before tliey could be brought in'." Iis voice quivered and tears stood in his cyes. "It is a great honor * to Brookfield that his Majesty the King has posthumously awarded - to Lieutenant Colley the distin. guished Service Order." Chips laid down the -]ist of names, and after a moment said: "None of you here will remember Max Staefel: He was German mas- ter at Brookfield from 1893 to 1902. He was popular here and had many friends, among whom 1 was proud to include myself, I re- ceived a letter from Switzerland' this. morning informing me that he had been killed advancing with the Saxon Regiment on the 156th October last. He was fifty years' of age." "Funny, old Chips reading a German soldier's name out with the others.

At last the armistice was sign- 'ed and Brookfield School, like all other schools in England, like the towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom and of her al. lies, went frantic- with delight. Brookfield had a bonfire, bells. clanged joyously, rockets went up info the air and burst into bril- liant flares of light, whistles screamed, and Chips was borne upon the shoulders of the bigger boys -- for wasn't Chips a sort of hero, too, a friend, a tradi- tion, as well as Headmaster of Brookfield? " An Old, Worn Man _ But Chips was an old man, worn and weary, and he welcom- ed, though with a deep twinge of regret, his final from Brookfidid upon the ap- pointment ¢f Marsham as Head- master. He maintained his rooms at Mrs. Wickett's and welcomed the boys who had been in school under him, and the new boys, too, for most of them knew of Chips from their fathers, cr uncles or brothers or cousins, and those who didn't "were quickly apprised of Chips's place at Brookfield by the upperclassmen, Why, it was almost as though Chips's statue stood in the Qyad- rangle along with the other Head- masters of Brookfield! Only Chips could be seen walking about the school grounds, cracking his jokes with the youngsters, feed- ing them cakes and buns with tea at his rooms. A sort of game de- . veloped among the boys, during the years: they would send cer- tain new boys to Mrs. Wickelt's to knock at his door and say: "Here, I am, Mr. Chips," and wait to see the boy's astonishment when Chips opened the door. One fall, some years after the war's end, a new boy rapped at Chips's door, as he had been in- structed. The New Boy . "Here I am, Mr. Chips," he said, when the docr was opened. "What on earth ..... I can sce you are there. What is all this?" "They told me you wanted to see me," said the crestfallen boy. "Oh, "so they told you, did haya" 'He looked~ out into the darkness of the street, anti spoke loudly, to be overheard by the - waiting boys: "That's quite right: 1 did want to see you. Come in and have some tea." When tea had been poured and cakes placed on the table, Chips sat down. "Son, you're a new boy? Name?" "Colley, sir." "You're not ..... "Yes, sir." "l knew your father." © "Yes, sir. My father was here, and my grandfather." "Take your cup and sit by the What do you think of Brookfield?" "IVs....it's big, sir." ; "You' 1 like it though when you - get used to it. It's not half such Peter Colley?" an awful place as it seems the first day. Bit afraid of it?" "A bit, sir." "So was I to begin with. But that's quite a while ago. Sixty- how is yur mother?" "She's....You'd like my mother, sir, She's funny.....1 mean, she makes quite good jokes, Won't you come and see 'us some day, "It's good to Ive a Mather that makes jokes. I was there one autumn when the leaves were turning." There, that's the bell: for Call Over. You'll haye to go. Just walk by the master and call your name. Don't "let it scare you." "I won't now, sir--after' that lovely tea." "You' must come again; some day, Colley, Let yourself out, I'm I'ma little tired." "That tiredness failed to go away. And one day, Chips opened his weary eyes, coming to from oblivion, to find Marsham, .the Headmaster, and Dr, Merivale . talking in low tones, » "Poor old chap. Must have had a lonely life all by himself," he heard Marsham say. "Not always. by himself," re- sponded Merivale.. "He. married, you know." : "Did he? I never kitew that." "She died, a long time ago," "Pity," said Marsham. "Pity he never had any children." "What was that you were say- ing about me?" asked Chips weakly, Crotvd Of Memories * "Nothing, Chips, nothing at all," Marsham hastened to assure him. "We were just wondering when you were going to wake out of that beauty sleep of yours." "But 1 heard you. You were said one of the Bofs when retirement. 'iq kissed Cay + y yr .
