h the work on dismantling the arch has steadily
progressed. Suddenly there comes a warning cry--"Look out"--as the
supports unexpectedly give way. Pat is too engrossed in his tirade to
take heed, and as the center portion of the arch falls it crushes him
beneath its weight. After the cloud of dust clears, he is seen lying
under the mass. By a curious twist of fate he has been crushed by the
portion of the arch bearing the inscription "For the Freedom of the
World." His eyes open for an instant--he reads, through the mist of
approaching death, the words, and he laughs--

Pat--For the Freedom of the World--Oh Christ!

His mocking laughter is interrupted by a severe fit of coughing and he
sinks back dead.

The Professor's Son--Oh God--take me somewhere where I can't ever see
the world.

The angel--Come to heaven.
