JJrorewodl E:,( YEARS ago the students of Claremont

High School decided that the time had come \\'hen our Alma Mater should be represented by an anmwl.

So an annual board was

chosen :rnd the first Claremont High School annual waS

pnblished in 1912.

F'or te11 ,vea1·s each successive boHrd has done its best

to make the book a snccess-and this year has been no exception.

Because we believe that our high school

desenes it, and because we can imagine no fitter way to celeUrate the tenth anniversary of El Espiritu, we have

tak(•11 the liberty of enlarging the book.

\\'e hope that this year will long be remc>mbcred as

one of the most pt·ogressive years in the life of onr student

body, aucl that El Espiritu de 1922 may be found a worthy

chronicle!' of this chaptrr in the history of Claremont

High School.

Although all the acti\·ities entered into by th(! High School this �·ear were not of extraordinary character, still, \Ye may say, with all sincerity, tlrnt this year has been most successful.

The loss of our Freshman class, the consequent lowering of Olll' financinl position, the confusion and misunderstanding encountered with the establish­ ment of the Junior High School, our being placed in a ne-..v league by th<' California Interscholastic Federation, presented ·difficulties never dreamed of in former years. Yet, in the face of these handicaps, Ch,remont High School has turned impending defeat into unquestioned victory.

The Constitution has been successfully and completely reYised, and the system of school monograms made more satisfactory.

In dramatics we have upheld, if not bettered, the high standard estab­ lished by former classes and students.

In athletics we have been especially successful, luwing, up to the present, woJ.1 two of the athletic activities of the League. There remains two more League athletic events, and we have an excelleut opportunity of winning one, if not both of them.

....

We regret that interscholastic debating could not materialize into actual debates as planned; but it was impossible to carry thl'ough debating this year in .addition to the many other activities. However, 1l!T1rngements lun·e been made for a debating schedule, to be filled ont at the beginning of next year:

Financially we are not as well off as might be wished. And it may be necessary, next year, to cash in our Liberty Bond. But eon�idering that the heavy assessment upon our Student Body funds was made uecessary by the increased activities of the School, we realize that it is ql1ite natural for our account to be low at the end of this year.

All in all, despite the handicaps and difficulties, we sec that the Student Body has undoubtedly had one of the most suc�essfnl years of its history.

Pull for the School! Do your shai-e ! Keep jn mind her honor and good name! Remember the part you play in her success! And Claremont High School wil1 surely win-and win again! ROGER B. SMITH, '22.

A thing must either grow or decrease; nothing stays as it was first created. During the past school year the Clare-Bi has grown, and has

assumed a standard size. However, it is neither large not· small, and has not

· accomplished in this year all that we hope it will in the yecin; to come.

As is the case in many schools the enth�1siasm that was first responsible

for the origination of the school paper has in a· measure subsided, and tlrn

Clare-Hi has had to bear its troubles in most instances ,,·ithout the aid of an

enthusiastic student body, but nevertheless the paper has succeeded and accom­

plished all that could be done under the circumstances. As a medium of news the paper faithfully chronicled all that was considered of importance, aud the staff turned up the ground in unexpected places in search of new s011rces

of material.

With no aims other than to serve and do its best, the Cbirc.1-Ji

has passed through two more semesters of history, trying to cle,·elop here and encourage there.

}--,inancially the paper has this year been in greater straits than at any

time in the past.

Business depression made advertisers reluctant, and upon

advertisers the paper depends, bnt by the earnest efforts of the business

managers the paper was successfully financed.

·-�

The mechanical execution, i.e., the printing, has been improYed and the

Clare.Hi has had the appearance of good workmanship.

']'he "·ork was clone

by an outside office, since there were no local facilities to handle the production

at a cost within our reach.

Hope of installing au office in the high school fol' the printing of the

paper has been abandoned, since sufficient funds could not he raised and since

it appears that there would be a lack of material in the school for cl:-tsses

in printing and journalism. However, a school printing equipment conld not

have printed a paper equal to the product of a, professional office.

As has

been noted, the quality of work coming from school print shops has been

inferior to the work of regular offices in practically e,·ery case.

It is hoped by the editor and the staff that the Clare.I-Ii has been

successful in meeting the requirements of the students, and that this year's

work will remain a permanent asset to the paper.

Nrtua anll ]Hema 'J'lie News and Views was 8tartcd in 1916 to give to community, especially those who h,we no children in high school, an idea of what the high school was doing.

Ml·. Bell of the C'onl'ier generously allowed us as much space

as we could nse. 'l'he i\'ews and Views column should be of great value to the high school, since it is 011r only means of presenting the high school news to the people of Chiremont. The high school needs the support of the community and can secure it only by arousing community interest in the school activities.

lt is more

difficult to do this in Cluremont than in most towns, because the college here in a measure o,·ershaclo-ws us and naturally makes many demands upon local interest.

Thi:s makes it more importnnt thnt the News and Views fulfill

]ts mission a11ll so prcse11t the high school activities as to convince the people that we lwYe a school and a student body which is ' doing things" and which 1

deserves to be supported. During the past yem· our aim has been to publish all athletic and social news as well as auy other items which might be of interest.

Although the

write-nps have not Ueell all that we could lrnve wished, we hope that they have at least been interesting enough.. to merit notice. Next year lhe editor of the News and Views will be under the editor-in­ chicf o.f the CIHre-Hi, and it is hoped and believed that with the greater staff Ht his com1rn-111d, the scope- of this column will be greatly broadened.

A mil li1e 11ire 11ho���rr�tl��:�ia��:Jf�!11 iu school Ji£�t .�ea has been the Girls' Leagi1e. Great entln1siilsm was amused near the beginning of the year "-hen the delegates returned from the Gir!s' League Convention at Alhambra "·ith all sorts of ideas to put into action. One of these idem; ·was the "big sistf'l·" plan, whereby each girl in the ninth grade was pro\'ided with a big sister from the senior class·. Needless to say, big sisters ar0 (]Hite useful in high school life. The plan went definitely into effect at the Girls' Le<.1guc party, where every girl became acquainted with every otltrr girl through the medium of ne·w, original games, shadow pictures, and dancing. This party "·as a marked success and started the year with a wholesome, friendly feeling among all the girls. Of the various committees of the League, the busiest perhaps was the Activities Committee under the able chairmanship of Marion Hill. A series of dinners to the basketball fellows and their opponents, refreshments for the baseball girls and their riv.-1ls, and the management of the Girls' League sales; were some of tlte things this committee accomplished. The League took one opportunity to show that they were really backing the school. They voted nnanimonsly to give a series of candy sales, and use the prnceeds to help 1rny off the 1\ilonsen Lecture debt of the Student Body. fn this way about half of the debt was paid. The Social Service Committee was made a .new nnit of the League organization this year. Calista Frampton, the chairman, kept her committee, the Lcngue, nnd even the school working for various charitable causes. The import;:ince of such a committee in this organization was proved. The Housekeeping Committee deserves praise for its nntiring efforts in l,;eeping the rest room and the girls' basement neat and attractive. Miss Willows has heen the fairy godmother of the League, keenly inter­ estPd in eYcry aetiYity and helping where help was needed most. lt ,yas. she who secured the co-operation of Miss Danks in arranging for a meeting of the Girls' Leagnc once a month during the physical education period. At these meetings. 11su;1 lly precedPd by a brief business session, there were delight­ ful prognnns of music, readings, and talks by unusually interesting speakers. Looking back 011 the year of the Girls' League activities we cannot but say that it was a real success; true to the League standards of promoting friendliness among the girls; helpful in the school, community, and elsewhere when possible; and loyal to the school and student body.

On the evening of Pebruary 8, 1922, a new high school society came into existence. Forum had been formally dissolYed beccrnse of roughhousing and the lack of interest displayed by the membus. So the way was opened for this new society. lt was organized by n group of p1·ogressi,·e students with the interest of Claremont High School primarily at l1enrt; it is pulling for the school, not against it. :Member.ship in this society is an honor and should be recognized as such for only those are eligible whose charactf:'r and whose sh1nding both in studies and in deportment has secured for them the recommendation of two high school instructors. Delta Lambda is not merely a debating society, for in its meetings iutel'­ national questions, current events, science, and other practical subjects are discussed; and many chances arc given for extemporaneous speeches. The business meetings are sensible and orderly and gi\·e the membe_rs good practice in parliamentary law. rrhe society considers itself fortunate iu obtaining as its faculty aclvi.-;or, l\fr. R. R. Brown, by whose help the society was organized and by whose ready snggestions and generous aid it is now benefited. At last Claremont High School may boast of a� society which is on a pnr with any other high school organization throughout the state. Tts numbers nre small, for the society is young, but the high aims and ideals of Dr-ltn Lambda give promise that it will be a helpful factor in the life of our high school.

Well, how's everything breaking for you now in this world? Remember when we used to go to school together back in Clarnmont High? Yes1 ] happern'ld to be digging around the other evening in an old box of mine :-ind r fished out one of our old school anmrnls, 1922. Pretty cold outside that night, so l threw a couple of chunks of coal onto the fire and drew my chair up close and spent the evening over that book.

Well, old man, things have changed a good de;i l. since those clays, haven't they1 We aren't quite so big and don't know quite so much as we thought we did, do we1 Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if we were quite some hu11ch then­ in our own opinion. Yet for all that, and for all our being a little ornery we were a pretty good class, that class of '22. We used to have some pretty good times together there at the Old school. I don't imagine that any of us broke our necks or strained our eyes stndying. I guess some of us rather wish we had studied a little more, don't . we¥ And we probably made life misel'able for the teachers sometimes. Still, we came through. 1'.'laybe they put us through to get 1·id of us!

When we found our way into the school as Freshmen l suspect we rnu�t have been a pretty fresh lot; but the upper classmen took llS in hand and soon fixed that. And as Seniors, maybe we -,,vere just a little conceited at 011r position, but that didn't last very long.

Still our old class made a good showing, nothing brilliant, perhaps, hut good; and we left our little niche along ,Yith the rest.

As J turned over the dust covered pages of the book, ihc faces of our teachers and classmates appeared before me. As T gazed at them the memory of the friendships and associations and all the things that goo on in school life that will always be pleasant to remember came back to me. I \YondPr now what all the kids of the old c>lass are doiniz. T sometimes think it wo11\l hf' u pretty nice thing if we could all be together again. Now, I reckon, the old place has clrnnged a great deal and it is prohahly getting along just as well and better than when we used to be there, for all "·c didn't see how the school was-going to get along without us.

Great days those, eh, Chum? \Ve ·11 never have anything like them again. Well, must run along now. Uptil some other time. Your pal,

flihrnketball Our first muscle relaxer of the year 1921-1922 took the form of basketball. Since basketball is one of the mH.ior sports, the call was issued the first day of school. SeYenil familiar faces appeared, for Captain Rich, Hamilton, L. Patton, Cntes, l\fason and Gruell were all there; but, sad to say, we missed the services of '''l'ad'' Richards: C. Patton, and Goodnow. The loss of these men put an awfnl hole in our team and we figured their absence would be disastrous to us.

A new light was cast on the scene when we secured the services of alumnus , Miles Allen, a veteran of Claremont High and a man with the "old fight. . He rounded the boys into a team and soon had them ready for their first game.

"\Vhen ,\·c md our first opponents, their faces were not familiar as in pt·eYio11s years. 'l'his was the result of the C. I. F. shifting us into the new ';C" LPague. Our first contest was with the strong Colton five. They were big men and were slick as grease. The game was called on our conrt and we were off at the blow of the first whistle. rrhe first half ended with them in the lead. ]n the sceond half our boys played like mad men, but could not o\·ereome the strnng attacks which they offered us, and we met onr first defcat-40-23.

After this defeat at the hands of Colton, we realized where our standing wonld be if the same type of work was kept up; and when we bumped up against Corona Wf' had little difficulty in pntting them away with a score of 26-16 to our credit.

Things looked different the next week at practice. The team was fighting hard and preparing for the fracns with our old time rival-lm Vel'IIC. The r g11me was called on 011r grounds and a splendid crowd turned ont. \\ e out­ fought them in the whole first half and the score stood 9-3 in 0111· fa,·or. Between halves someone must have fed mu- players some of the cooking clasi:.e� 1 biscuits, for the second lrnlf they were dcHd 011 their feet. Lu YC!rne chnlked up point after point and tied the score. \Vith two minutes to go und the score tied, Mason looped one from near the center of the coul't. La Verne c;irne back with one immediately. rJ1 1IC rooters were ,,·ild with exciten11.•11t. Flash! La Verne scored a basket. The whistle ble"·; the game euded; La V C'l'He won-21-19 !

We next turned our attention toward Chino. \Ve had henrd tlwt ('hi110 is n place "where everything grows" and we took for granted thnt it gl'ew casaba shooters. When we met up with them we found that our sm·miscs l1ad been right, and we played one of the hal'dest games of the season. Our slick te:1111 work, however, along with Gruwell's basket shooting, enabled us to win hy a score of 27-23.

We had played our first round by this time, and the next game was with Colton on their home court. Our team developed a new style of piny ,rn<l · tried to beat Colton at her own game. The first lwlf wus fast and snappy, Colton leading 16-12. Hamilton did some fine shooting for 11s and i\In,v showed up well. We started the second lrnlf with three baskets straight, but conlt.l nor kPep it up. The game end0d and we had met our second defeat at the hand� of Colton ; score 40-28.

Page Forty-five

After this trimming WC' were due for a victory, and our victim was Corona again. \Ve start<'cl things off at the blow of the whistle and shot basket after

lrnskrt. Ont· fonrnrc.ls did some excellent work and our guards held things to six field goals during the whole game. We won 43-13. Ill onr next game we sought revenge on La Verne.

Our line-up had been

shifted somewhat, Patton playing forward in B.amilton's place. We pulled off some pretty team \\"Ork throughout the game, and the La Verne team was surprised at Claremont's attack.

When the half ended we were leading 6-4.

In the second half there w;is some desperHte playing, La Verne tallying three baskets mid we, two. 1\fason saved the day for us by shooting seven out of

nine free thi-o"·s, �nd the game ended with Claremont on the long end of a 17-1 G score.

Our last game was with Chino at the Bonita High conrt.

The first siege of

u,·crconfi<lence struck ns and hit us hard. \Ve had defeated Chino in our first rnconnter and we thought the same thing would be repeated.

'l'hey took us

while we were off our feet, and gathered up eighteen points to om· �en in the first lrnlf. Vle played them off their feet dnring the second half, but could not

chalk np eno11gh counters to win. 'l'he final score was 22-17.

Thus the basketball senson ended, with Claremont winning just half the

games we played, and totaling 200 points to our opponents' 191. We put up a

good scrap if we did fail to come out on top.. Our team will have another chance at the championship next year, and we will all be on the job wlth f'nongh fight to clean np the world .•

wrark This year Cla,·emout has something to be J)l'Olld of. nnd that is the 'J'l'ack Team. lt won for Claremont High, for the second time in the school's history the much-coveted track and field cuµ. Captain Milliken and Coach 8turges put out one of_thc best all-around track teams the school has rver had, and to them and the team much credit is due. 1

The season started out with only three letter men-Captain )lilliken in the hurdles, Hmnilton in the high jump, and Grn,Yel\ in the pole nrnlt and broad jump. The second string men of last yea", ho,,·cyer, had cleYrlopr-d into �omf' good material and were due to walk off with many honors. lfates was doing well with the discus, Mason was hea,·ing the weights-at good distance, and Sam Smithe showed up well in the hurdles and high jump.

V,fr inaugurated the season with a meet at Citrus Union High. llerr somP 1ir"· material showed up. J·ohnson c;1n1e to the light and gaYe signs of being­ cl good distance num. VVe won the nwet by a comfort.-1ble nrni-gi11. and ow· hopes as to our prospective track team grew brightel'. Sen:•ral me('tS wPt'f' scheduled. but Old l\fan Jnpi1er sent little drops of ,,.Ht<•i- down ,1nd p11t thi.' kibosh on all of them. This meant more prilcticc for 0111· league meet and .-1I\ the hoys' efforts were put into their daily ,York-outs. 'l'he day of the meet was Saturday, the sixteenth, <1nd the went.her was as cold as a cake of ice in a refrigerator. The meet was slow in getting started, and the athletes were not capable of showing their best. Page Forty-seven

\Vhen the meet was finally off, Claremont won points here and there and walked away with the honors. Milliken won both hurdle races in excellent time. Joh.nso11 ran two hea11tifnl r:i.ces in the half mile and mile, grabbing first in both. Gruwell won the pole vault, was second in the broad jump, and tied for fourth in the high jump. Hamilton did some fine work in the high jump, taking first at fiye feet nine, Uesides getting third in the broad jnmp. .Bah•s c11me to the light, and, to our surprise, won second in the shot and discus. Mason :dso sprang a surprise by leaping twenty feet in the broad jump for a first placf', and annexing third and fourth place i.11 the discus and shot respec• tivel_v. : Meyers and Rich ran trne to form, the former beating Rich out in the hundred b,v a wh.isker, and :Ilsa placing fourth in the 220.yard dash. Cowa11, onr good sprinter, was kept ont of the dashes and was put into the quarter mile, where he nohly upheld fourth place. We outclassed our old rival, La Verne, beating her by a score of 37 points. At the end of the meet Claremont was responsible for 71.

SAN FERNANDO

\Ve also entered a team in the San Fernando Invitational Meet. Here twenty schools were represented from all over the South. Captain l\iilliken won the high hurdles in his record time and placed a close second in the low sticks. Gmwell fought his way to a second in the pole vault and fourth in the broad jump. Hamilton lived up to his "rep" and nabbed second in the high jump, while Johnson ran a nice half and placed fourth.

ALL SOUTHERN

'l'he same team entered in the All Southern Meet two weeks later, but the fellows seemed to have an off day. The best Gruwell could do in the pole vault w�s to grab fifth place. Bates upset the dope and won fifth in the discus. The other men tried their best but were unable to place. 'fhis meet ended our track fest, and the spikes were pnt away until next year.

Page Forty.eight

�irln' 1Jnhnnr ianrball Another cup! 'fhis is what the Girls' Championship lndoor Baseball 'J'eam brought us. In one way the winning of the cup was a surprise, but in another it was not. 'l'his is the second year Claremont has played indoor basrball, and we surely have to hand it to the girls for the splendid showing they made.

'l'hey had practically all new material to work with, but under the able leadership of Captain Florence Eye and Coach "Cass" Paclrnrd, a champion­ ship team was put out-and this is how they did it.

Two practice games were held with our friends of Bonita High, and the honors were divided. Some excellent matel'ial was shown up and the picking of the team practically decided. After these games we were ready for our first league game with Chino. The team took the field, with Broughton pitching, Shaffer catch111g, Leezer, Piersol, l\fcBurney, Smith, and Florence Eye composing the infield. In the outer regions were Pike, Murray, and Hill.

"\Ve got off in splendid style and garnered our runs in bunches. We shoved three over in the first, and six in the fifth frame. The e:irls lrnd their batting eye and landed on the pill from all sides. Chino scored but once up to the sixth inning and then, bunching their hits, they grabbed off six rnns. Their rally, however, was started too late, and we won ]].7. Page Forty-nine

Our second leagne game was with Corona on their grounds·. We started off in splendid style, annexing six runs in the first four innings. Our battery was too good for the Coronaites and they were able to score only two runs. Along nb0nt the seventh inning, however, we had a blow-out in all four tires, and they put five runs across the platter. Things looked mighty doubtful for 11 while, but we managed to calm down and win by a score of l 1-9.

JJa Y €'rne ,Yas the next Yictim to be taken into camp. \·Ve had defeatc(l them last year 1 and the same was repeated this time. Before they could grt to playing real ball we had coJlected seven runs in the first two periods. '11 hey cnme right back in the fourth with six for their side. Both teams made costl,v el'rors which figured greatly in the score. Neither team was able to score aµain until ·the eighth and ninth frames. Here we shoved five runs across the ruhher, and they tallied two. Broughton shook a wicked willow, getting two-base hits twice with the bases loaded, which helped spell defeat for La Ver11e. Score J 2-9.

Overconfidence lost· us our next game, to Colton. We went on the field cxpE'cting victory, but met a terrible defeat. They took us when we were off our feet and scored twelve markers in the first three innings. Here we tightened up and held them scoreless until the ninth, when they chalked up two more. \Ve plAyecl poor ball in the initial frames but put up some high class stuff in the latter. Leezer ponnded the ball out for four bases, which accounted for three of our nine rnns. Our weak start, however, enabled them to win. Score 14-9.

This defeat ga,·c Colton another lick at us to decide the championship. The gc1me was pla,ved at Chino and was a thriller from start to finish. The team was full of the old Clarrmont fight, and was determined to win. This time we reversed the tables and started the heavy hitting early for thirteen Tnns in four innings. '!'hey were unable to hit and were entirely outclassed hy om· playing. Onr infield pla,vrd errorless ball and gave pitcher Brou_ghton wuncler­ fnl support. \Ve ran up a sco.re of nineteen, while they could collect only eip:ht. J,ee::i;er and Rro11ghton each poled out long home runs, which were big factors in our Yictory. The game was over-we had won. The championship was onrs. Three for the team!

IDenniB For the past two years we have won the tennis cup and our outlook is bright for this year. We lost some flue players last year, but even yet we figure on a championship team. 'J1 11e crew is led by Captain l\fay, who is a valuable man in the boys' doubles. Alan Taylor is another whiz. He drives and cuts the ball with power�ul strokes and is doped to win the boys' singles. The two HHnds are also good men and will make their opponents step to beat them. The girls' end of the team is nplwld by �ell Emerson, )l'orma Broughton, J.;..,lorenee Eye and Dot Smith. 'l'he two former displayed some fine tennis in the A1l Southern meet and are counted on to uphold us in the Jpagne.

ill11e 1Jmportanre uf ietng fame.at What's in a mime? Speaking Earnest-ly, we believe the name's the thing. At least to Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardcw in "The Importance of , Being E,nnest, . presented at Clan'mont High School on December 27th and 28th, Earnest by any other name would not have been half as sweet. And to any young lo\¡er whose lady refuses him unless bis name is Earnest, the importance of being Earnest is evident.

'J111en, too, there is the name of Cecily's spinster governess, Miss Prism. One ncYer says'' Prism'' except in connection with the phrase ''Prunes and Prisms," and this only when one wants to be kissed. And in spite of Miss Prism's mouse colored gown and tightly drawn hair, we would not have been s11rpriscd to see her pucker her virtuous lips into the Prunes and Prisms attitude at any moment when she thought no one was looking except the Rev. Canon Chasuble. And Oscar \Vildc himself, trnJhor of the play, has a name to live up to. \Vbo will deny that one or two of his lines are a bit wild 1 Oscar evidently can say with James \Vhitcomb Riley: "Jn fact, to speak in earnest, I believe lt adds a ch::i.rm To spice the good a trifle With a little dust of harm."

/'age Pifty-si.c

Speaking in Earnest, Oscar Wilde draws his characters into humorously embarrassing complications-Gwendolyn and Cecily each insisting on the possession of an Earnest, Jack Worthing and Algemon l\ioncricf, their respec­ tive suitors, each doing his best to be Earnest, Ludy Bracknell 11siug hel' influence to upset whatever does not plensc her, l\'fiss Prism and Re\'.

But in the end eYerybod.v succeeds in becoming engaged to the right person, which is ull anyone could ask.

Warne!' Bentley, as Jack Worthing, played his p..irt strikingly well. He must be recognized as an actor of no little talent. for his e\·ident appreciation of the lines and his ability to portray them marked him at once as the shw of the production. Other parts especially well taken were those of the lrnught.v and beautiful Gwendolyn li'airfax, played by Kathryn \Yheeler, and the very proper Rev. Canon Chasuble, played by Eldon Cate�. f11 fact, the entire cast was most pleasing-Alice 1\iurray as innocent little Cousin Cecily. Roger Smith as A1gernon Moncrief, Marion Hil1 as Miss Prism, Alice Eye a!-. the nltra­ dignified Lady Bracknell, and l\[aurice Peairs and C'o.'· s�rndel's as typical butlers. The cast, howevel', is not alone l'Csponsible for t itl' succ(•ss o[ 1 his year's athletic benefit, for no small amount of credit is due to l\fiss Welch for her work in directing the performance.

If there is anything in a name, Claremont High School should count herself fortunate, for her good name was benefited not a little b_v the production of '' 'J'he ·1mportance of Being Earnest. 1

A YANKEE THORN IN THE RED COAT'S SKIN It was.the English, I think, that gave me my biggest scare.

You know my

father kept a printing shop in a town near Trenton when the Red Coats were

hot after "\Vashington's scalp. I have e,·er seen!

They wel'e the most impertinent fellows that

He they happy or be they angered it was most unpleasant to

be among them. Hut their company was not of my choosing, they\vere billeted

in our town, and one cumbersome fpl\ow at our house.

ln my spite l threw

stones at them once from behind a thicket where I was hid, but they soon broke me of the habit.

A small company 'bout faced and charged into my

hiding place wher�, with a branch from a bramble bush, they administererl the most �evere flogging I en?-r expect to experience. A small thorn became lodged

in my breeches a11d was most painful.

As l mentioned, father owned a press and types.

He printed a small

journal twice a month, but 'twas difficult for any 1uan to print a Yankee paper with those unfriendly Red Coats about.

Sooner than we expected, they

suspected something-. Jcny lost a proof of father's paper in the mud of old Salem road and �omc Bl'itish soldier found it. Ever afterward the Tories and

the English were after 11s.

But my father was wise and most canny.

When

he heard that the British were drawing nigh he summoned the services of several strong men and the printing press was spirited away in the night out of harm's way.

lt will not hurt to tell where, now that the English arc gone.

It was into the garret of Doctor Bradford's old house, which was on the very

edge of town.

up with ropes.

They took out a part of the floor and pulled the bulky thing ]t was hard work :rnd the ropes were none too strong.

Old

Doctor Bradford professed to be a�'l'o1·y for our sake, and a.s he lived in such

a tumbledown old place the British had neither the inclination nor the desire to enter his house. :Most fortunate for us!

For the sake of secrecy, father worked a large patch of vegetables and

grain. ]n the summer we had a $Oodly patch of love apples in the garden for

ornament and plenty of sparrow grass for greens. But even at that it was hard

living. Being a farmer he exerted his energies to keep the British away from his p1·ess. He rehlined two young apprentices beside myself, who set the types

and workf'<l the press while he gathered material for his journal and farmed.

It. was hard on the English, for he thr11st many of his unfriendly articles into

their guilty consciousness and aroused the ire of many a placid and unthinking farmer against the British. But he did it at the 1·isk of losing his head.

Page Sixt11

\

"\Vhat thinkest thou of that?" my father was asking Doctor Bradford. " 'Tis a good stimulant for the cause, is it not'?"

The doctor had just finished reading one of father's articles condemning the English. It was very strong.

"On the morrow," he said to me, "you shall print this. I feel ague and fever upon me. See to it that the British find you not. See that the floor is cleaned of all scraps, for if they come they mnst find nothing."

On the next day I proceeded with the printing. lt was tedious work. While George and Jerry worked the press I kept watch for the Bntish. 'fhe work was slow for each time the press must be inked, the paper dampened, and the tympan screwed down against the types. Vilc were nearing the finish when I spied three Hessians making their way dmn1 the road. '' Hurry your work,'' I said to the apprentice lads, '' for these stupid mer­ cenaries are about. Methinks danger is brewing."

As I spoke the words I felt very frightened. Had not the British slaughtered several patriot printers and destroyed their property? And thesr thick-headed mercenaries were most brutal. I could almost feel the je1·k of the rope about my neck as the platform collapsed beneath me. Then T recalled that one of Washington's scouts and two couriers had been killed most cruelly. 1.-Iy father's punishment would be great, for he was a most dangerous mH] hnnted enemy.

I felt a :firm hand on my shoulder, but I did not turn to repn lse it. heard a deep gutteral voice say something rather indistinctly, but I did not tnrn to question. I felt the cold steel of a cavalry sabre against my stocking, but I did not turn to avoid it. I was paralyzed and stiff.

But suddenly ;11 this changed. I was still looking out of the window and the apprentice lads were yet working at my back. I grew hot and inwardly shamed my·self for letting petty fears influence my imagination. Nevertheless . the danger was great. The three Hessians had stopped at the gate and were talking among themselves. It was evident that they intended to entet\ but their delay was most needed. Silently I slipped down the stairs, dodged under the windows, and started at every little sound. When I reached the hallway I made my way through the kitchen into the back lot.

As you know a long hedge of brambles borders the 019 Salem road for some distance into the country. Fortunately the screen came very close to the house and enabled me to escape to the cranberry marsh without being seen. In my haste I stumbled over stones and tripped over branches until I was a sorry looking creature. Mud, great splotches of deep brown mud, <Hlhered to my clothing, and my hands were most unclean. Now when I had advanced into the countryside far enough I scrambled into the road and started walking to the house. It was hard going, but unnoticed in my tense excitement, for as I approached the house the Hessians started for the door. J tried to attract their attention by whistling, but my lips were stiff and unyielding. Then I tried to sing, but my voice failed me. l\1y legs were paralyzed and I could not run, for I was thinking of the dreadful consequences that would result when the Hessians discovered the press and types. Timely indeed, a great hoot�owl screeched in a nearby tree and attracted the attention of the Pcige Sixty-one

1-Iessiaus. In the meantime I made my presence known by starting on a run up the road, pretending to be hunting for the poor bird. Wide-eyed I surveyed the merccHaries and regained my senses. Smilingly :r said: "You be soldiers of King George . n

U11comprehendingly they stewed at me. "Long live the King!"

''King George; ve are hiss best soltyers.''

'' He that as it may,'' J replied, '' I heard tidings of \V ashington 's army.''

They sun·eyed me doubtfully, and one of them broke forth, "Var you hN1r dis1" ·'"'hy, wcron 't you at the Tavern last nightY"

"Uh!"

"There were a goodly number of Yankees at the Tavern last night, and from what they said they will be there again this evening."

I surveyed the clo�1dy sky and looked over the barren landscape, left uninviting by the last thaw. "Var you hear dis?"

"At the 'Cocked Hat'," T answe1·ed impatiently.

"\Vashington is getting ready to march on Trenton; they say the English don't expect it.'' "l\![ayhe ,·e hear much, Hans, if we go dere, und ve get honors from <ler cnptain.'' "I am going to the tavern now and hear some more of their jabber-'' 'Ve go wid you." 1

Tn the sile11ce we trudged down the road to the tavern, and when at last we entered, the Germans marched with heavy steps across the floor and seated themselves at a table in front of the fire-place. I gave the keeper some coins for some parched rye and wheat coffee. As the Hessians sat there gulping their coffee I became a little more confident. However. there were no Yankees there and finally one of them exclaimed emphatic,1lly, '' De,v are nod here!"

"l\faybe he fool us."

"Ve hab orders to search dcr house."

T w<1s so taken ont at this that r could say nothing for a moment, and finally blurted out, "Well, T shall join you."

Page Sixty-two

·,�{e traveled slowly, and in the meantime I was exerting every effort to delay their progress. But at 1ast we came to the house and brushing me aside they passed through the gate aud opened the door. At the top of the stairway the flickering light of the burning wood in the fire-place was lighting up the wall. 'l'he three Hessians started up the stairway, and 1 followed, dragging my stiff legs. As I reached the top I saw Jcny's blue coat.tnils disappearing out of the window, and they had taken their papers with them! A heavy-set mercenary pushed his fat body through the window frame, but he slipped ou the roof and we heard him hit the ground below with a heavy thump. However it needed only a single sheet of paper and ,rn imp,·ession of the press to tell the story. 'I'hen my father's fate wo11ld be se;i\ed. One of tile mercenaries advanced toward me and stumbled OYer an uptumed boanl. How he howled! Just as a .wolf.

Hans, vy are you so clumbsee1" merrily. 41

'rhc rosy faced companion laughed

"Idiod, help me ub. l\fy leg iss jurt." The big fellow on the floor cnrsell londly.

Fritz put some more sticks on the fire, and as the flame sp1·ang 11p thel'e ·exposed on the floor was a copy of my father's journal. Fritz picked it up, studied it and put it in his pocket. Hans, who was on the floor, put his hand on the press to assist himself in arising, bnt his weight was too much. He pushed against the form and the types went spi1\ing on the flool' 1 :My hopes were renewed as the tale-bearing types were mixed together. But T grew Hfraid once more as Fritz pulled the proof from his pocket, and T was so frightened that I did not hear the howling Hans on the floor. As I watched T wondered what those bulky fellows whose fiendish shadows swayed on the wall would do. The fire was subsiding, and the darkness filled in the corners. ·1 hung my head and leaned against the type rack for support. Slowly the light went even lower, and most of the fuel in the gn1te was but a mass of glowing embers.

Suddenly the room grew alight. And when, surprised 1 I looked at Pritz T s.-1w him holding the proof of my father's journal above him and the consmn­ ing flames of his temporary torch shot brilliant light �,hout the room. The first thing that he saw was a box of imported spirits, and he went straight to them. With one hand he held the bottle to his lips and with the other flung the blazing paper into the fire. The proof was destroyed.

With a grunt of snrprise Hans scrambled up off the floor nnd snatching the bottle away1 drank the remaining spirits, and the two gazed sleepily into the fire. As my rigid body relaxed I heard the two trnmp ont of the house into the yal'd. With grunts of exertion they picked up their unconscious cornradr who hfld fallen off the roof and started for camp. I seated myself and knew £nil well that I had repaid the thorn that the Red Coats had left in my breeches when they thrashed me. KENNETH WJLLlAMSON '2:3.

THE ANTIQUATED HOBBY It is impossible to outline 01· define joy or sorrow, for what is smiles to one is tears to.another. Ask the elephant and the humming-bird what they think of a worm for dinner. Jim was a college lad who had many hobbies. Joe was his twin brother, and an Athletic type. Jim attended John's College; and Joe went to Duffy University. The mother of these twins having died when they were very young, their father had reared them and had given them alJowances to do with as they pleased. The only other relative of whom they knew was their dear, rich and old-maid Aunt Mary. On the boys' birthday she would send each of them a ten dollar bill. These hills were usually needed, as the birthday came in the latter part of the month, when their allowances were gone. At any rate. that was Jim's case at this pnrticular time. He had spent all his money, and was cxpectiug the 11sual ten dollar bill from Aunt Mary. On the moming before the birthday, he received an old reading table, which was an nntique of no little value. With it came the following note: Dear Jim: If I nm 11ot mistaken a short time ago you had a hobby for antiques. Hoping you still have, T am sending you this old reading table with my best wishes for a happy birthday. Love, Aunt Mary. Jim thought, wondered, and meditated. What was he going to doT He had jnst giYen up the hobby of antiques as being too expensive. And wor$t of all he had a date for the opera on the coming evening, but no money. After several hours he decided to send it to his brother, and in that way avoid another exprnse of a birthday present. Tt follo"·s that in the afternoon he sent the reading table to his brother. He was forcccl to borrow the money from some of his fellow mrn, but not withont a great deal of emharrassment. The following morning the postman grcete<l him with a package from his twin brother. This he opened with fond hopes of some money. But alas, it was a gold ash tra.'' and n pearl cigarette c,-1se. "More ways to spend money, but no money/' he said. As the last word passed throu�h his lips he noticed a small envelope £all from the cigarettf' case. Picking it up he read its contents. Dear Jim: You are a dear. Tlrn.nks a million times for the swell present, and guess what A1111t Mary gave me! In place of the usual ten dollar bill. 1 received twenty-five. Now, listen to reason, Jim, I want to thank yon for the twenty dollars hidden in the drawer of the reading table. Bnt why on earth did yon send me that antique reading table! I hardly know where to put it. So long, Joe. P. S.-Now Jim, I hope yon don t mind, but after thinking the matter O\·cr 1 sent the ;rntique reading table to Aunt Mary. You know she likes old-fashioned things. Joe. 1

DANIEL MILLIKEN '22.

SANTA CLAUS DE LUXE In the spacious library of New York's most exclusi,·e club sat the most eligible young bachelor of the season. He was gazing moodily ont into the falling snow. Behind him in the room were blazing fires, holly wreaths, and groups of light.hearted men comparing Christmas plans. One man was going to spend the day with his wife and children in the conventional way. Another -a hard working business man-promised himself the ,ioy an<l relaxation of a week's duck.Jrnnting in the nearby mountains. '.l'he rake of the club declared that he would "go to Cuba or bust." Each o�ne was holding forth on the peculiar advantages of his plan over all others and they all were as happy as H lot of school boys with an unexpected holiday.

None of this holiday spirit, however, was reflected in the face or manner of the man who was sitting by the window, and his heart was bitter as he heard Christmas" repeated again and again. It was not because the men in his great woolen mills were on a strike, nor was it because his mother had died so recently. The roots of his discontent were deeper than this. To understand them we must turn a moment to his boyhood. 11

He was the only son of Richmond, the millionaire mill-owner. Before he could defend himself he had been saddled with the name of John Archibald. John ·was for his father and Archibald was for his mother's favorite hero. Nurses, toys and tutors of the best had been furnished him as he grew from babyhood. But nowhere had he found the love and personal attention for which he longed.

From his earliest recollections Christmas was th€' one day in the year when he ate dinneJ" with the family in the state dining room. Usually there were many guests who regarded the presence of a small boy as a bore and plainly showed it. Early in the morning he was dressed in his best clothes, told to be a credit to his training, and then, when the time came, left to his fate in the big drawing room.

There was always a lot of company and no one paid much attention to a small boy seated in an obscure corner. One or two of the ladies 'and gentlemen would ·pat him on the head and ask him if Santa Claus had brought everything he wanted. Then he would think of all the presents the footman had brought into his rooms that morning and would wonder if "Santa Clans" were a new name for ''James.'' He would always answer, ''Yes, sir,'' as that was what they seemed to expect. And then came boarding school and college in quick succession. Each year he made a flying visit home during the holidays, but not even the joy of home-coming brought the Christmas spirit. The few clays were a jumble of meeting people he did not k11ow and would never see again, of. sitting through innumerable dinners in a state of unutterable boredom and acknowl­ edging many useless and unwanted presents.

Page Sixty-five

When other boys talked of the joy of Christmas time he listened with amazement. There was nothing in his experience to justify such enthusiasm . .I 11 his la�t year at college he was invited to spend Christmas with his chum, Jim. He brought away from that visit a vision of a large family of happy, hearty boys and girls, none too much money-for frie.ndships at college are founded on mutual attraction rather than social position-but a joy in giving and receiving that gave him a new idea of what Christmas might be like.

He had seen very little of Jim recently for out of college their ways had led along diverging paths bringing new responsibilities to each. However, he had often thought of him and the holiday spent in his home and he had tried without success in the following years to catch again the joy of the Christmas• tide. All of this he1ps to explain why John Archibald sat at the window on the evening of his thirty.first birthday, the week just before Christmas, looking all of forty and feeling all of a hundred.

Two events that very morning had precipitated his present gloom. Since his mother's death the year before a formidable, elderly aunt of his had held sway in his household. John had taken to living at the club as much as possible. 'l'oday, however, he had been informed that he was expected to dine at home on Christmas day. Within half an hour of this b1ow James respectfully presented him with a tentative list of people he should remember. It was all according to his usual custom, but todny he irritably ordered James to use his own judgment and not to bother him.

Altogether this Christmas was promising to be worse than any of the very uncomfortable preceding Christmases. As he sat idly watching an o1d man strugg1e through the storm looking quite as forlorn and unhappy as he himse1f felt, a plan sprang into his mind-a plan at once so novel and yet so exactly what he wanted, so simple yet so daring, that he gasped for breath and resolved at once to put it into execution.

He would take all the presents James would prepare and, putting them in a push cart, he would sally forth on Christmas eve and distribute them to whomever he might meet in the poorer districts. Since the rich people in his own walk of life had fa.iled �o satisfy his longing for Christmas cheer, he would see what the poorer classes could do for him. Thus ran the tenor of his thoughts as he sat in the fast falling twilight, adding detail after detail to his plan.

Christmas eve was bitterly cold bnt wonderfully clear. His plans were perfected. He had procured a push cart, an old felt hat, and an overeoat of nondescript hue, but whole and warm. Page Sixty.six

He had wandered an hour without seeing anyone he cared to accost, and was beginning to have doubts of the success of his plan. Evidently most people spent Christmas eve in the bosom of their families. The atmosphere seemed suddenly gloomy. Looking up he found himself in the region of his mills. Row after row of the little houses of the workmen were dark and silent, their occupants driven out by the strike.

It was growing darker, but straining his eyes he made out a man standing in the snow, looking up at the great mass of the building. From out his push­ cart of treasures he picked a parcel at randq,m and tendered it to the man, saying, "Here's a little Christmas gift for you, my good fe!low." Startled, the man turned and looked at him. Then contemptuously throw­ ing the outstretched gift back into the cart he said, "I may be a striker, but I'm not going to bomb your old mill. Merry Christmas' indeed, when we're starvin, but what-" 1

'Really," began John Archibald, trying to stem the torrent of angry words. 1

"No, an' we're not dependin' on no charity either." So saying he flung .himself off into the darkness, leaving John hesitating between anger and pity. He met several needy looking people in the next few blocks, but he did not wish to repeat his experience with the striker, so spoke to no one. Indeed, he might have returned home, his plan unfulfilled, had he not seen a little girl ahout eight or nine gazing raptly into a store window, where several sony looking dolls were displayed. The longing in her eyes was evident.

Her hands were blue and the thin, ragged sweater she had on seemed all too inadequate to keep out the cold. He shivered at the sight, warm and whole as his own coat was. 'Poor kid/' he said, "she's going to have a doll tonight if I have to steal it." 1

Instinctively his hand sought his pocket. Then he drew it back dismayed. He had brought no money with him. Intently he thought.

By jove," he cried, then silenced himself to a whisper, "there ought to be a doll somewhere in this mess. I 'II see." 11

Frantically he tore the wrappings off package after package. What size ought a doll to bef Why in thunder dicln 't he know what was in these packages! What a general fool he had been !

As he was in the midst of this denunciation of himself, he found the doll, inrleed, a very queen of dolls. Looking up he saw that the little girl had :reluctantly ton1 herself away and was going down the street. He followed just in time to see her enter the basement of a. nearby house. He plucked up his courage and followed her in. She must have that doll. Page Sixty-seven

He stood in the doorway, unob!.:.erved for a moment. Taking advantage of this he looked about him. The room was bare but very clean and there was an attempt at Christmas decoration. Besides the ehilcl he had seen in the street there was an elderly man-a worker in his mills he found out later-a boy of four or five and an older girl.

"Merry Christmas! I-lPre comes Santa." Never had the words rung truer. Announcing himself thus, he laid the doll in the little girl's lap and rushed to the cart to get n present for the little boy. How glad he was that he had uncovered a wonderful rocking horse while seeking for the doll!

1'he younger members of the family accepted his presence with the com. pletc credulity of children, but the father and older girl demanded an explanation.

He evaded their questions for a time and settled down to watch the children, determined to make the most of this Christmas while it lasted.

Later in the evening, when the friendship had progressed, he explained his purpose. A person ''"ho didn't like Christmas-the thought was incompreâ&#x20AC;˘ hensible to the Browns. He also I earned something of their circumstances. The father was a worker at the mills and now out on the strike.

"It makes it hard on the kiddies," he said. "This is the first Christmas I haven't been able to do some little thing for them myself. But our strike is just and as soon as the young owner turns his attention from play and athletics to his work, wc 'II be all right. We can't help but be." No one guessed the reason for the fervency that went into the wordS, "I'm sure you will," and no one connected the Browns' humble visitor with the fact that Christmas morning the papers heralded the close of the strike on account of ' the unpara11eled generosity of the owner." 1

Thus Christmas <lay was the beginning of better times for the workers in the mills and on Christmas also better times began for John Archibald Richmond, because he stumbled on the Christmas spirit while playing Santa Claus. ELSIE HlLL, '22

A LIFE AND A LIFE There they were, those two, alone, in the desert. living thing for seventy miles.

Perhaps not another

They stood there, ten paces apart, dizzy and weak from the heat, thirst, and days of struggling through the ?linding, clinging sand-pursuer and pursued.

Except for a gun, thrnst into the front of.... the ragged, dnsty "cords" of one, both were without packs or water cans or weapons. Most of the shirt of one was torn from his body-and a boot of the other was cracked and split until the foot protruded.

Alone1 No, not all alone. For on that last rolling dune, half buried by the shifting sand, stood a giant cactus. Bleached and scarred it was1 as it thrnst its mighty arms up-ever up-seeming like the desert Indian praying to his God for those few life.giving drops of rain. Neither spoke. One-his tongue and throat swollen and black-could not. The other, the man with the gun, stood thinking-half aloud:

"He'd never stand a chance. He couldn't get out-. -neither can-I-. -let him die-yes-no! -he must pay-pay-. -leave-here-alone-he wonldn 't )ast-day. No! -he'd want that-no punishment-. -pay­ pay-. -must feel it-know it, and why-. Shoot-him-? -no! But­ hang':..._should hang! - yes - only-where -? - where? - the cactus-. -need rope_..:._no rope-rope-ah.h.h-. Night fell--.

'fhere they were. Those two-and the cactus-alone.

At the foot of the cactus lay one, crumpled and still, but with a smile . on his set and flint.like features. 'l1ightly clasped in one hand-so tight the edge cut his fingers-was a small silver sheriff's star.

The other-the other--Y From a low and crooked cactus arm, and swaying gently in the cool night breeze, at the end of a rope of flannel, boot laces and strips of clothing, he was hanging, nodding his warped and twisted head at each puff of the rustling wind.

And the giant cactus towered above-lifting its mighty arms as if i.n prayer. R. SMITH, '22.

WITH THE SPEED OF LIGHT ' Jim ,Ashley, long, lean and lithe, paced the room of his little hut and mused to himself. "So Spud Morgan's sentence runs out in six months. Like as not he'll turn up here for a little rough stuff." All of which is a queer subject for meditation, but then, Jim Ashley's whole environment and surroundings were queer to say the least. His hut lay four miles from the nearest city and half that much from the closest dwelling. No road or wire lines led up to the house,-if it could be called a house-all lighting being obtained by means of storage batteries. Strange to say, the man who chose this lonely spot as a home was a detective. And stranger yet, one of the most skillful, persistent, and relentless sleuths in the history of the game. The secret of thi_s detective's success was his talent in making enemies. Thou­ sands of criminals and ex-jail birds would have given much to worst him in a physical encounter. Ashely, therefore, did not have to chase them down to land them in jail, but confidently expected them to dog his footsteps. The only means of intercourse he had with the outside world was some expensive and elaborate wireless instruments with two separate aerials. It was with this apparatus that the detective obtained his pleasure and recre­ ation, and also carried on his business. The set had been erected primarily for communication with the neighboring police station in West End, four miles away. rrhe reason for the two aerials was that he could have both the transmitter and the receiver in circuit simultaneously. The benefits of this plan, or at least, one of them, will be shown in the following narrative.

Crouching in the shelter of the underbrush and waiting for the cover of darkness was a man plotting revenge. For nineteen and one-half years he had longed for this chance and now, released from prison on parole, he came, taking the law in his own hands.

Unmindful of his great peril, the detective switched on his wireless set and tuned the receiver for the police station in West End. Then there crept over him a vague feeling of danger, and looking around, he spied the dim, lurking shadow of a man's figure. Rising quickly he was greeted with the abrupt order, "Hold up your hands!" Ashley, taken off his guard, was greatly alarmed, for he knew by his manner that this desperate visitor was none other than the notorious Spud Morgan. The detective had only one hope for he realized that the ensuing conversation would be heard by a great many amateurs Hll over that part of the country, and he trusted that at least one of them might bring or send aid in time to save him. It was truly a faint hope for, although hundreds of operators were "listening in," and all were va�t�y astonished, yet none took the words they heard seriously enough to report them. Page Seventy

In the police station the chief sent Dick Nelson to phone Ashley and tell him of Morgan's early release, news of which Ashley had requested to be sent him as soon as possible aft.er the event. As Nelson lifted the receivers he heard: ''Yes, l'v_e dropped in and the next person who drops in will drop in on your carcass.'' Loud and clear came the voice of Ashley in reply, as if he •were talking to an audience: "Well, Morgan, I see that you have come for revenge and you'II get it. All 1 ask is five minutes mo-" Nelson sized up the situation in an instant and without waiting to hear the rest of the conversation shouted to the chief: '' Send a posse out to Ashley's, pronto, and if they don't make that four miles in five minutes one detective is a dead man." Immediately a flock of motorcycles was racing over the hillf-i full speed. Nelson felt sure that they would never make the distance over that barren waste with half a mile of no road at all�and only five minutes. But then there was a chance of recapturing the criminal. He again picked up the head sets: "Expecting company, huh, Give you five minutes, Not by a darn sight! You gave me twenty years and now you want five minutes." The clicking of a gun in the room was plainly audible.

Nelson, in desperation and without hesitating to sec the futiJity and utter foolishness of his act, started the motor generators and threw into circuit the transmitter. And then, in a, voice loud enough to raise a roof, he yelled out into the ether: "Come along, yon black.handed villain, and we'll . stick you back into the cooler.''

Four miles away his voice filled the room in the little hut, the sound coming straight from the Magnavox. As Morgan turned suddenly to face this third speaker, Ashley sprang upon him, knocking his revolver from his hand, and grappling they fell to the floor. Ashley was no wt>akling on the mats and the two were not an uneven match. In five minutes the already disorderly room was knocked into a chaos. As these men lay desperately fighting in their death stn1ggle the police motorcycles were rapidly shortening the distance between them and the hnt.

When any two men fight as long as five minutes the one who has the ·longer wind begins to pull up on top. And Ashley's wind was not the longest thing about him. After awhile Morgan rose to his feet, leaving the detective bleeding and unconscious on the floor. He looked around for his gnn. Just then he heard the sound of laboring motorcycle engines. Vlithont waiting to pick up his revolver, he charged wildly out of the door and directly into the hand� of the police squad.

Today Spud Morgan is drawing free board from the government, which he may do for some time to come. And if Jim Ashley ever loved anything more than his double aerial scheme it is Dick Nelson. DAvrn HAND, '22. Page Seventy•one

OUT OF THE DAWN Jean was huddled in a big arm chair, a dc,jected and hopeless young wild thing-wild in that a great part of her life had been spent in roaming the hills-beautiful in the love she held for her little brother and pal. \'Vhat joyous times these two had had together! How happy their days had been, until a dark cloud loomed above them and threatened now to burst.

Flinging her arms out she cried as though challenging the Power of the Universe to answer her: "Oh, why-why? Jimmy, I want you!" 'rlrn voice, the face sho·wed the heart-break only a child is capable of feeling-a sorrow questioning and helpless.

As though in answer to her call a woman's form came and knelt before Jean. Taking the_ small hands in her firm ones, she looked deep into the sad, wondering eyes of the child. "Jean, dear," she said, "Jimmy is resting easily now. He's probably dreaming happy dreams of the days you played together. In the morning he will waken to a glorious June day-the kind of a day he would love to be romping and playing with you, Jean. Instead of that--"

'1\ilother," Jean broke in, her body tense, her eyes shining with a light which seemed to come from her very soul, '' Mother, you say he· is resting easily now. Doesn't that mean there is still some hope?'' 1

Gone ·was the listless attitude, and in its place was something which made Jean's mother bow her head for just an instant. She could not look into those burning eyes-the last to hold hope for her son-with despair so evident in her own. She couldn't kill that last spark of hope, for perhaps instinctively, she realized what that child faith might mean ·when the crisis came.

"In the morning," she continued, presently, "Jimmy will need the big· sister he loves so much. He'll need your cheery voice, and face, and heart. He'll want you to tell him of the beauties of Nature he so craves but which he can see only through the eyes of his pal. The crisis comes in the morning, and-oh, Jean, be strong and brave, and for the love of your little brother, do what_ only you can!" Jean bounded out of the chair. "Yes, he will want me to be brave and -and-happy. He will want me to tell him of our secret corners and how they look now. Mamma, I'll try so-so hard, but sometimes it seems as if I couldn't stand it without my-pal.'' She turned suddenly to her mother. "You didn't answer my questio,n."

This time their- eyes met, the mother's smiling; the child's first question­ ing and hopeful, then unquestioning and sad. For she looked beyond the courageous smile and read the truth, which left her without hope, without strength, without any of the things she so needed, and which she had found for only a very short time.

After kissing her mother, Jean turned and walked slowly to her room for the night. When she was ready for bed she knee.led at its side and buried her head in the covers. No sound could be heard from the small form other than an occasional sob. Pa_ge Seventy-two

At last, throwing back her head, she cried: "l can't even ask for help, and I feel as though I couldn't face Jimmy in the morning gay and happy when my heart is breaking. Why-must-he-go?" The small form reâ&#x20AC;˘ laxed, and, sliding gently forward, rested comfortably against the bed .

. Shortly after daylight a half grown girl was walking slowly along a shadowy road. Jean had more than an hour to wander around, for Jimmy wakened with the sun. As she walked her step became lighter, and her face changed with the growing brightness of ear1y morn. Birds were singing cheery songs; lively rabbits and sqnirrels darted across her path; everything seemed joyous and busy with the duties of iJ. new day. Nature soon worked her change and Jean was running and skipping, anxious to arrive at whatever her destination might be.

It was no wonder that on entering a small canyon Jean slackened her pace. Deep banks of ferns formed the walls of this lovely spot, lightened, perhaps, by an occasional tiger lily or some other wild flower. She stretched out comfortably on an exquisite bed of moss which grew near the stream, and looked up through the green of the trees to the blue sky.

Softly tinged clouds drifted here and there, growing brighter and then fading again. The birds sang now as though all were joy to them, again more softly and sadly. The stream seemed to echo both the mood of the song of the birds and the color in the changing sky. Everything was in such per. feet harmony in Nature's world it seemed hard for the moment to believe that there could be discord anywhere. A deep restfulness entered the heart of the girl, forcing out the old ache. She remained here for some time, then looking toward the East she saw the clouds. over the hills deepening into a beautiful pink. Oh, I mustn't miss the sunrise, for Jimmy will want me to tel1 him how it looks from our hill this morning. And maybe it will be the last time I can." 4

'

All the heartache had come back again as Jean started to climb the hill. But as she climbed higher and higher on "their hill," in order that she might see the sunrise and take it home to Jimmy, she seemed to leave the sorrow of the past few days in the canyon below her.

When she reached the tOp and saw the glorious scene lying before her, something within her yielded and she cried out with wonder at the beauty of it all. Where were the doubt and fear which had held her so powerless Y Something out of the dawn called to her, and as the sun first looked upon the world, so majestic in its beauty, Jean answered with a burst of joyousness: "Yes, Jimmy, I'm coming home to you with something better than the picture of the wonderful sunrise; I know,-know,-know,-that you will live, because my heart sings in harmony with all that is beautiful around me."

The dark cloud which had threatened the happiness of the boy and girl moved on, leaving only sunshine behind. ANON.
