We linger, loath to break the parting tie W'l1ich binds us to our dear old "High." Apart On life's old stormy wave we'll make our start, Our spirit strengthened with a purpose high To reach the goal. But looking back-a cry Breaks forth, 'IO God, protect each saddened heart! Ah, yes-what happy days of work and play! Can we forget those memories so dear Or cease to love the scene! we know so well? Never! E'en tho' apart, on life's rough way We stumble forth. And with a parting tear, Dear ones, we bid a Senior's fond farewell. RHEA SAGE, '13. Qlllass history On August 9, 1909, thirty eager and enthusiastic boys and girls entered Arcata's highest institution of learning. They were: Bertha Alden, Ana Averell, Nellie Baldwin, Grace Bloemer, Francis Bull, Chester Carlson, Ella Durdan, Ella Ericson, Alice Haugh, Ruth Horel, Vernon Hunt, Annie jessen, Ethel Johnston, Chloe jones, Gertrude Logan, Charles Mahoney, Oren Meller, Earle Morrell, George Mulcahy, Nettie Murphy, Laura Myers, Valera Preston, Melvin Roberts, John Ross, Rhea Sage, Versa Smith, Earle Spencer, VValker Tilley, Lois Trumbull, and Milton VVright. Strange and wonderful were the sights we, the class of 1913, first beheld there-how different from the school life just left. It did not take long, how- ever, for the wonder and strangeness to wear off, for soon we dared do almost everything the upper classmen did. The first two weeks of our new school life terminated with our initiation at the Arcata Redwood Park. The reception was tendered us by the three upper classes, who delighted in tormenting us in the most unusual ways. Finally dancing and a watermelon feed put an end to their pranks. Now that we had been initiated we truly felt ourselves strongly united with the other classes and proudly did we carry the responsibilities which fell upon us. The one great event of this year was gaining the football champion- ship. We as Seniors now feel proud that the champion ball, which then commenced rolling to Arcata, has continued to do so during each consecutive year. We, as well as our first teachers, Mr. VVright, Miss Chidester, and Miss Combs, vividly recollect the inconvenience which was experienced on account of the lack of room and the big smoky stove in the front of each room. The August of 1910 welcomed each of us as "the jolly Sophomore." Although we felt and appreciated the dignity conferred upon us, yet we did not become "Sophsl' without a feeling of regret at leaving the good old times enjoyed as Freshies, for as a class we were treated very kindly by our wiser schoolmates. We rejoiced in our spacious rooms and study hall, for during the summer vacation a wondrous change had been wrought-the one-story high school had been converted into a modern two-story building, conveni- ently heated by a furnace. The faculty had also been increased from three to five teachers. Miss Baker, Miss Burke, who took charge of the newly instituted commercial course, and our ever helpful Miss Chamberlin, who took the place of Miss Combs, came into our midst. Happy as we were in our new surroundings we did not forget the twelve missing faces from our number and only wished that they, too, might enjoy it all. Now we could help initiate the Freshmen into the mysteries of high- school life-and how delightful it was! It was in our Sophomore year that the much dreamed of Glee Club became a reality. Professor Halle of Eureka was the school instructor. Although it was short-lived, yet it awakened our musical senses for the time being to what we might do. When the spark of enthusiasm seemed to die away it was in truth simply smouldering beneath an indifferent spirit, soon to be aroused in our Senior year by our able, ener- getic instructress, Miss Asher. Glad were we when the name of Junior was assumed, for now we could hold forth in the much talked-of "lab," Only one of our Sophomore members missed the never to be forgotten times participated in, there. The vacancies in the faculty caused by the resignation of Miss Burke and Miss Baker were now filled by Miss Wilkinson, our esteemed class teacher, and Miss Lenhart, respectively. The Xmas tree and candy pull before the winter vacation were Seventeen both in themselves delightful affairs. After the holidays, however, a shadow was cast over our exulting spirits, for grim Death claimed one of our most popular and athletic members, E. Everett Hinckley. At the beginning of the spring term, Willis Murray of Berkeley joined us for six months and was instrumental in developing the finest rooting section Arcata High has ever possessed. The appearance of a "diamond" late in the spring, worn by a Junior girl, brought on a shower, but, strange to relate, nothing resulted-not even the growth of the miniature household articles. The dancing party we juniors gave the Seniors this year proved to be a great success. It was the first entertainment of its kind to take place in the Assembly, which was only then made possible by the presence of the fine piano received during the last of the fall term. The Senior Ball of 1912 brought the festivities of our Junior year to a grand finale. At last we donned the dignified role of Seniors and were able "to lord it over the teachers." However, it was with the deepest regret that we now were parted from one whom we had grown to love and highly respect through the last three years-Miss Chidester. Nevertheless, we wished her the great- est success in her new position. In her place Miss Asher came to uphold the dear old Latin language. Marguerite Baker, the only one of our class who has not received the entire high-school course in the halls of A. U. H. S., hails from Nebraska and joined us at the beginning of our Senior year. The 1913 class pins were chosen during the early part of the fall term and with pride we have worn the little gold nugget. Walker Tilley and Saxe Graeter did not come back to get the dainty pin, but enrolled at schools in Belmont and Oakland, respectively. The Xmas tree and dancing party in the commercial room just before the holidays has been the most enjoyable of class affairs this year. The night of the school play "Mr. Bob," we conducted a candy sale and realized a neat little sum from our efforts. Throughout the past four years our class has been well represented in inter-high school athletics, debates, school plays, and other activities, so it is with pleasure that we leave our record Cwith certain modificationsj to the under-classmen. As graduates may we strive to prove our loyalty to our Alma Mater. RUTH HOREL, '13, Q9 I Q gm will Eighteen Glass 1BrcqJberp Hue ubi delatus Cumzeam accesseris urbem divinosque lacus et Averna sonantia silvisg insanam vatem aspicies, quae rupe sub ima fata canit foliisque notas et nomina mandat. Virg. Aen. III, 441-44-'4 'Twas in the year of 1924, Well versed in aught pertains to' classic lore, That through the Cumaean city I had passed, And reached the famed Avernian cave at last. Strange stories of this cave have oft been told, For here resides the prophetess of old, Upon all mortals she will cast a spell, And then by means of leaves their fortune tell. Outside the cave my heart grew cold with fear, What if the prophetess herself were here? Slowly and cautiously I ope'd the door, To find that leaves were strewn about the floor, Of every shape and size. There could be seen The various colors, yellow, red, and green, A name there was enrolled on every leaf, And, too, the person's present told in brief. Immediately a thought flashed through my mind, Perhaps the class of '13 I could find. . NVith a happy heart I bent me to my task, For two long hours I worked, and then at last The name of every schoolmate I had found, And sitting down upon a little mound, I sought to learn of my companions dear Before the aged prophetess should appear. But "as the best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley," within the shadowy glen The seeress weird appeared, and fixed on me Her piercing eye. "What can I do for thee, Presumptuous mortal? Why dost thou hither come?" With these few words she 'gan take one by one The leaves from out my hand. I shook with fright And meditated plans for instant flight. But to my great surprise she said to me, "The class of 1913 here I see, The presence of your schoolmates you would learn, Else you would never dare these leaves to turn." I nodded, slightly reassured, and then In silvery tones the prophetess began. Ana is acting in the British Isles, 'Mid lords' approval and fair ladies' smiles. 'Tis she who stars in Shakespeare's plays, you know, And Milton Wright is still her Romeo. Ruth Horel, now her college life is o'er, Imparts to High School students Latin store. Lesley's a modern Burke in Congress now, N i neteen Twrn I y And to his will that house is forced to bow. Christine, at present a great society belle, Has men both great and small under her spell, In this rank Charles Mahoney you will find, Ever devoted to the "tie that binds." Bertha Alden is enjoying married bliss, Her husband is a happy man, I wis. If to New York you have occasion to go, Perchance society your way may How, And if you wish to cope with New York wiles, Ella will dress your hair in the latest styles. Valera Preston, now a gushing bride, Has chosen in Fortuna to abide. Now, if to manly sports your mindls inclined, Go forth and on the diamond you will find Chester and Loftus, proteges of fame, World champions in our famous national game. At U. C., F. E. Morrell is enrolled As Prof. in Physics. To you helll unfold Aught that pertains to Pressure, Light, and Sound, A greater Physicist is nowhere found. In flirting Laura sure can do her fill, And Nell is chief cook up on Pickle Hill. A fortune has been left to Grace May B. And she has gone to Europe, so I see, To find a husband she is on her way, And contemplates a lording for her prey. Rhea Sage, with her most Winsome wiles, And pretty Voice and more than sunny smiles, Has captivated some man's fantasy. And in the future a happy bride will be. Elaine Moxon in a Paris Gallery Is drawing down a very handsome salary By painting pictures. You will find they stand Among the very best in all the land. Marguerite, the musician of the class, Is a violinist no one can surpass. She paused. With joy I learned of schoolmates clear. But suddenly my heart 'gan quake with fear, For now at last but one leaf there remained, Full well I knew my whole life it contained. But suddenly a mighty wind arose, Ere she had time my fortune to disclose, The leaf was blown from out the seeress' hand, And lay with millions of others on the sand. In vain I tried that longed-for leaf to find, In vain I sought to ease my troubled mind, At last I left the cave in sad despair, Resolved to drown in pleasure all my care. LOIS TRUMBULI., '13 xl! . ill Qlllasw Mliill VVe, the members of the class of june, '13, of the A. U. H. S., City of Arcata, County of I-Iumboldt, State of California, being at the present time of sound mind and not acting under any undue influence or fraud, and realiz- ing that the days of our life in this great hall of learning are limited, for the personal benefit and progress of the oncoming strivers, do declare this to be our last will and testament. I. To the faculty we leave all the troubles and pesterings of the rising classes. II. To the Junior Class of '14 we do will and bequeath all the honor and dignity of a Senior, with the following admonition: they must not let their heads swell too much, for the door of our room is only four feet wide. We render to them the use of our room and desks which are on the top Hoor. CLaura Myer's desk will have to have new underpinning as the old is cracked.j As an heirloom we hand down to them the glory of not being beaten in football for four years. May they keep up the reputation so that it may be handed down through future generations. III. To the Sophomore Class we hereby bequeath a much-needed pam- phlet entitled "I-Iow to keep on good terms with your teachers." It reads as follows: Always obey your teachers, and if they tell you to study twenty-live hours a day, do it. If they tell you to throw your 'peanuts in the waste basket, don't throw in just the shells and keep the peanuts in another pocket. Remember the teachers also like peanuts. Always be studious and take your books home from school every night, even if you have to get an auto truck to carry them. If the language teacher gives you ten pages of Caesar, Deutsch, or Francais, don't groan, but smile and be cheerful, for next time she will assign only twenty or thirty. If you are studious, obedient, attentive, meek, bright, angel-like, etc., etc., etc.,-to eternity, then you will succeed with your teacher. IV. To the ever innocent and timid Freshmen we will and bequeath all our extra boldness, so that they may quickly sprout into full-fledged Sophomores. We leave to them all our endurance and perseverance and hope that it will carry them through the four years of toils, mixed with pleasures and foolish reveries. And realizing that they are on the verge of entering into social events, and are much in need of a code of etiquette we do bequeath to them the same. 'Tis as follows: 1. Never ask your lady friend if she wishes to go by the candy store and smell the odor of fresh-made candy. 2. If you are about to sit down at the table next to your lady, never ask her if you may sit on her right hand, as chairs are usually provided. 3. If you are invited out to supper, never ask the guest for a bottle and nipple, to drink your milk with. It shows a babyish taste. 4. If you are told to bring a "muff" to a dance, don't get a bunch of beaver skins to keep your hands warm, for that has gone out of style. 5. If you are at a high school football game, and the gentleman at your side says, "I think 'our' team is going to win," don't get excited and think that he has proposed to you, because he has laid stress on the 'our.' As executrix of this, our last will and testament, do we hereby appoint Miss Wilkinson, our esteemed class teacher. Subscribed and sworn to before Miss Chamberlin on this 29th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen. CLASS OF 1913, MILTON VVRIGHT, 'l3. Twenty-our A 5 AX, fh a! Qlfhiturial Staff A L T Qlihitnrial In every city, country, state or nation, there are two classes of people- the f'Boosters" and the "Knockers," The boosters are the people who have a pride in their city or county and show this pride by helping to the best of their ability to boom all benefi- cent and forward movements. On the other hand, there are the knockers who are lacking in civic spirit and community pride. These people are usually grouchy and close-listed and may almost invariably be counted upon to take a stand against all pro- gressive movements. Nothing that is done is pleasing to them. They are a critical, fault-finding generation. It is not necessary to dilate on the un- pleasantness of having to reside in a community having a large percentage of such people. It is probably well that a spirit of discontent should manifest itself in our make-up. We must not be oversatisfied with our surroundings or there will be no incentive to improve our condition. Dissatisfaction often means progress. The past year has witnessed the publishing of articles in several maga- zines of national standing, criticising our present school system without sug- gesting any methods for its improvement. We who think most highly of it are aware that it has its imperfections, but it is certainly superior to any system of education that has heretofore been devised. VVe hear its practicability discussed. Does it lit its graduates for life- work? It does and it does not. The old academic course with its book- learning did not qualify a boy or girl to enter at once into lifels arena and make good. They had to acquire further practical knowledge or training before they found themselves able to enter on a career of usefulness. The modern high school is introducing courses and equipments that will enable its graduates to step out of the school-room into the arena of active life and become at once bread earners. On account of the expense of starting such practical courses of study, it is only in the larger cities that we find many of these courses being given. The smaller high schools are moving along in that direction quite rapidly, however, and many of them are offering practical courses in sciences, commercial work, agriculture, domestic science, drawing, debating, physical culture, and hygiene. Not many high schools are provided with gymnasiums or teachers of hygiene, but athletics furnishes training that is of inestimable value as an accessory to the usual scholastic equipment. Arcata has excelled in football and baseball and has. had excellent tennis and basket-ball teams, we cannot say the same about track teams, however. It is true, that with the graduation of the class of 1912, the school lost many athletes, but in the other classes there were plenty of students who by judicious training could have become fully as proficient as those who were in previous track teams. There was no satisfactory reason for Arcata not entering a track team in the field-meet last September. The excuse that the boys had to go too far to train was insuiiicient. The field-meet is the one event in which all the schools are brought to- gether at the same time, and the absence of an Arcata team casts a blot upon the athletic record of our school. A track or any kind of team is impossible without co-operation of the entire student body, and it is the duty of all the boys not in training to go with the others to boost them along, the girls, as well, can show their in- terest and loyalty. Wake up, you boys! Enter your men in the next track- Twenty-three meet. Make Arcata proud of her team, and show the other schools we can do as much as they. Get a track constructed in the Municipal Athletic Field and every one of you train to enter for some event, even though you may have a long way to go to reach home. The action of the Executive Committee of the High School League in sustaining fake charges of professionalism against one of Arcata's best athletes, and refusing to consider valid charges of professionalism brought against members of others schools in the league, is greatly to be deplored, and is very apt to introduce an undesirable spirit of discord into the ranks of the league. When the desire of individual members of the league for victory becomes so dominant that they are ready to sacrifice a spirit of justice to attain that end, and deal unjustly with another school in the league, the benefits to be derived from interscholastic sports are reduced to a minimum. We find that the spirit of social intercourse, which should be engendered between the students of the several high schools is entirely destroyed. Arcata knows how to accept defeat when beaten fairly and squarely, but when defeated by unfair and underhanded methods will protest to the extent of her ability. The high school does not wish to make the "Advance" the medium of an attack upon other schools, but she feels justified in making a statement of pure fact. We have endeavored to make this issue of the "Advance,' a worthy rep- resentative of our school, but this would have been impossible without the aid of Miss Chamberlin, the staff's support, the ready contributions of the students, the zealous work of the business manager, and above all, the financial backing of the business men. To all of these, we extend our deep- est thanks. We also wish to thank Mr. R. M. Wiley for the assistance he has given us in preparing the paper for publication. is E-tiLt..U ll lf Twenty-four Lite mf' fri- X , fe- X X 1' K N 1 X JT: ff x H5 'Sig -7 " 5377, NY' 6 Nffg f r if K h yi, x W fb 4 'A , ? 1 f'fQ?ff75A' L'- Vx, H ruf f?-:1iQ' f ' J' .gf , Ui T ' 1 X.

I Q I X, E,. E The lam of the Restart All around them, the savage, searching glare of the desert moonlight fell on a world of night-mare shapes and shadows-gaunt, fantastic cacti, grotesquely misshapen yuccas, goblin bulks of rock and cliff and sand-dune, overhead the stars glittered hard and white and brilliant. They rode swiftly, unswervingly, as ride those whose journey is long and desperate, the man swaying easily to the stride of his horse, the woman, awkward in her male attire, clinging to the saddle from exhaustion, her eyes fixed on her husband. Save for the shuflling, dust-muffled foot-falls of their horses, there was no- where any sound. Now and then, the man looked back anxiously at his companion, and at length, reining in, he untied a canteen from his saddle, passed his arm around her shoulders, and poured the last few drops of water between her lips. She caught at his arm to steady herself. "You're sure we're headed right?" she queried. "Certain sure," he returned, pointing to the pole-star. "Due north to Dead Horse Draw and then follow that up to Crater Tank. We'll make Dead Horse in an hour now, and the Tank before sun-up." "l'.isten,', she whispered, "I thought-" He patted her shoulder awkwardly. "Steady, lassie," he said, "just a hawk or something." Then in a changed, bitter voice he added: "Oh, they're likely to catch us all right, before we get out to the railroad, because we'll have to lay over awhile at the tank, but they can't be near up to us yet." "You've got the money safe ?,' "Safe as can be-seventeen thousand. Five thousand sheep at three dollars a head, all round-that's a fair price this year, and two thousand extra for you to make up for the hard times you've hadf, The woman shivered and moved wearily in the saddle. "All the same," she said, "I wish you hadn't taken but the fifteen thousand--just what was fair." He laughed grimly. "I reckon that wonlt make any difference. They'd have camped on our trail all right anyway. But if we keep up our nerve we can get away with it just the same. Now we've got to hit the dust." Then they set off rapidly through the black sprawling shadows of the yuccas. Coming to a wide gravel-strewn arroyo, they turned up its nearer bank, and as the man had prophesied, in the first flush of dawn they caught sight of Crater Tank-a small volcanic cave not more than fifty yards across, at the bottom of which, as in a basin, had collected a little pool of rain water. Dropping on their faces, they drank deeply, cleansing the dry caked dust from their eyes. Rising, the man surveyed the scene. Above him the upper rim of the crater rose forty feet or more, a rough crag of broken basalt that sloped down on either side to a low parapet. "Weill camp up there," he announced. He led the woman by the hands up a devious path among sharp rocks to a little ledge just under the crest. And then, while she spread their blankets, he placed two stones on a rock to form a loop-hole for his rifle. They slept heavily, in utter exhaustion, until the full blaze of the noon- day sun fell on the n1an's face. He rose quickly to his feet and, climbing to the pinnacle of the crag, peered carefully about him, but there was nowhere any sign of pursuit-nowhere anything but a limitless waste of rock, and sand and cactus. Twenty-.tix The man dropped back to the ledge, drank heavily from the canteen, and then wetting a handkerchief, carefully wiped away the little drops that beaded the forehead of the sleeping woman. He paused a moment then, gazing at her with troubled eyes. "If they found our trail,'l he muttered, getting to his feet, "they'll be here in an hour now. But Iym d-d if I'll wake her-not for all the cow-men in the territory." Then he gathered some dead cactus and dry roots and .built a fire, and finding an old can, set about preparing coffee. As he looked across the crag, far back across the plain in line of his own trail, he saw a small and slowly approaching cloud of dust. He roused his wife and accompanied her down to the pool. "Better drink enough to last a while," he said, and she smiled back at him sleepily. "Reckon I don't need no urgingf' she answered, while he filled the can- teen again. . "Now we'll eat a bit,U he announced, when they had regained their camp, and from a Hour-sack that had been tied to one of the saddles, pro- duced a little food. She studied his face for a moment, and then her cheeks whitened. "They'reA comingf' she cried, in a sharp whisper, and, rising to her knees, saw over the edge of the rock three men riding toward them swiftly. The three came quickly nearer, and the man on the rock pushed the muzzle of his rilie through the loop-hole. "It's them," he whispered. "Bill Jones and old man Brown, and Sam Collins-President, Secretary, and Treasurer of South Bar Cattle Company." He chuckled savagely. "And by G-," he added, "if they try to pass that rock across there, I'll fix 'em." The three were about to pass the rock, when a sharp word of command and a close-passing bullet sent them tumbling from their horses, and under the cover of the rocks. The man above had all the advantage, and his an- tagonists were glad to retire. Terrified by the firing, the three horses bolted back along the trail and then galloped out of sight. There followed a confused murmur of consultation from behind the lower rock. "Is that you up there, John Howard P" "Yes.,' "You'd better come out and give yourself up peaceable,-there's three of us." "Had I? There's two of us up here, and we ain't peaceable." "VV'e'll sure get you somehow. Starve you out if we have to, you -.' He ended incoherently, in a hoarse snarl of curses. A silence ensued, then another murmur of consultation below, then a voice again uplifted in parley: "Look here, John Howard. There's no good making this business any worse than it is. We canit get to the water while you're up there, and you can't while we're here, either. If you'll let us go down and get a drink, we'll let you have one, too. That's fair.'i Howard laughed-a laugh of triumph. "Oh, you're thirsty, are you, Bill? I sure am sorry, but I drank my skin full just before you came and we've got a canteen besides, so I reckon you'll have to wait a bit." In a lowered voice, he added, "We've got 'em, girl. The man that's got the water has the power here. And you get what you're strong enough to takeg that's the law of the desertf, Again came the voice from the opposite side of the crater, half-choked with anger, "All right, Howard. We'll wait-until dark, and then welll get to you, too." Twen ty-sewn: The sheepman's voice, full of sarcasm, answered: "You will? Oh, you will? Do you think I can't shoot? And therelll be a moon, too. just you try it." Hours passed in .an absolute silence-tense, ominous, terrifying. Like a ball of molten metal, the sun at last dropped down below the horizon. The faint breeze of evening blew in across the plains, the flame faded from the sky, and the long shadows that fell from the rock and cactus and yucca melted into the one deepening gloom of night. Now, also, the three behind the lower rock began to test the screen of the darkness. A hat raised on a gun-muzzle dropped instantly, bullet-torn, an attempt to retreat back into the desert was likewise frustrated. And be- fore the last reflected glow of the sunset had quite faded away, the moon rose over the desert like a watchful eye. The night passed on. Once the cattlemen tried the vigilance of their captor by a second attempt to creep upon him around the rim of the crater. At daybreak the game was yet unfinished. It was two hours after dawn, when already the cruel heat of the sun lay like a brown Hame against the black rocks of the crater, that a strange voice, like that of one stifling, burst forth in a confused babble of invective. "Ah, d- you! d- you!" the voice cried, rising in a fury of anger. "What's the good of keeping up a play like this ?" The man above moved his rifle slightly. "Oh, youlre suffering now, ain't you ?" he pursued. "But what do you think I suffered all the years you men had the upper hand of me? When, because there was a dozen of you and only one of me you tried to shut me off from all the water-holes? When you tried to run me off the range that was as much mine as it was yours? When you tried to shoot me in the back for fear I'd give away that you were fencing government land? Vlfhen I didn't dare leave my well alone for fear you'd poison it, nor my house for fear of what would happen there ?" "Ah-you suffer now, and you've camped on my trail because you think it was me that blew open the safe of your bank and got away with a little of your money? What if I did? Who was it that came in the night and drove my five thousand sheep over the cliff into the canyon? That took from me all I had in the world, that I'd worked for all my life? What do you think I suffered then, and my wife that's stood by me through it all? Tell me that, will you, tell me that." For a moment no one answered him, and there was no sound except an echo. Then the strange voice from below spoke again. "Yes, yes, I know all about that, Howard. But what's the use of going over it now? What is it you're trying to do?" "Trying to do? just what you said you'd do to me-starve you out, only for water. When you're ready to sign a paper giving me that money you lost from your bank in payment for my sheep that you killed, then you can put your hands up and come out and I'll let you get to the water. Savy ?" "Yes, we savy. But we ain't all in yet, 'and we reckon we can stand it as long as you can. Go on with your starving." Once again stillness resumed dominion of the desert. From time to time now the woman relieved her husband at his post. They drank the last of the water in the canteen and ate the last of their food. Over all the sun rose high, an implacable vampire whose clinging lips sucked the moisture from their bodies insatiably. Noon came-one-two o'clock, that moment of the sun's uttermost vio- lence. And like a sudden blow upon the calm face of the silence, a frenzied, beast-like scream echoed across the crater, and from behind the lower rock a man plunged out into the desert, clutching at his throat, and, with the spasmodic movement of a madman, tearing off his clothing. Twen t y-ei gh! The man above leaned closer over his rifle, but did not fire. "Sam's gone crazy," he observed. With hands upraised above their heads the two others had stumbled out from behind their breastworks, and with dry, horrible mouthings, announced their capitulation. Not for an instant shifting his eyes, the man above bade them halt, then waited while at his direction the woman scrambled down and brought back the arms and cartridges of all three. Searching out a pencil and a bit of paper in which coffee had been wrapped, she then wrote several lines thereon and presented it to the captives. Without pausing to read, they aflixed their signatureg and then at last, lowering his weapon, the conqueror saw them drag their thirst-maddened companion to the pool, and with him fling them- selves face downward at its brink. Then carefully folding up the paper they had signed, the sheep-man put it with the wallet in an inner pocket. "Of course," he observed to his wife, as they turned toward their horses, "I don't reckon this'd hold in a court of law, but it don't need to. Because if I know 'em, they'd rather lose the money than have it come out that they'd got held up this way and sent home afoot, without their guns. Now let's get out of this-quick." LAURA MYERS, '13, T 42? X i,a i 6 Lflilw vl ll Twenty-nine Thirty Qmnaiu, The Tliruz King Arthur's friend, Sir Gans of Tintagel, Father of ten brave sons, nay, more by one, But that the youngest born, was dreamer called, Though tall and mighty framed, the fearless Gans Stood, far gazing o'er the western sea. With hopeless eyes. For a dragon monstrous-sized, Had seized upon his pleasant kingdom fair, And, blowing fire through hundred mouths agape, Had brought a famine on the land, had slain A hundred knights famed e'en in Arthur's Court, Who met their death full well and worthily, And still the dragon fierce made by their blood, O'er all the land of Gans held reign supreme, A bloody sway. O'er all the dense fog hung, Cut only by the gleams of blood-red sun, Which, shaped by magic's hand, formed mystic words The which no man could read, save young Owain The youngest born, the dreamer. To him they said, "Keep thou thy faith," and thus he read the sign. The while Owain did muse on these strange words And half-formed purpose in his soul did dwell, The king, his aged father, to him turned Driven by plaints of subjects homeless made, Grieved at the loss of ten brave sons, and now The youngest also doomed, or so he thought, And thus did speak: "O, thou! for whom the fates In form of Merlin did fortell fair fame! Oh, thou! whom I thy father love full well, Thou, yea, even thou, tho' all unskilled In arts of war, must undertake this quest, Must risk thy life in vain. Yet take my sword And go! 'Tis I, thy father, bid thee go!" At this, his father's word, the young Owain Full-armored, by his side the clanging sword, Rode forth. Five days he rode and neither man Nor beast he saw. For thus the dragon worked, That all around the fertile fields were bare. So 'lone he went his way, and wearied, came At length to the fair mount of Aramath. Far up that mountain high a castle wall Dark glooming o'er the vale, cast fear on all. For in that castle grim lived Pelleas, if A man of might and magic. Old he was, And well he knew that Death had named him For his own. One child he had, a daughter, Fairer than the fair Queen Guinivere, And many knights did woo her, but in vain, For she did dream of gentle knight and true, To whom her heart would turn, with whom to go Into a fairer land aroundthe curve Of the long mountain slope should be her joy. Then came Owain to that high castle wall And gained admittance. To him the lady Hilda Moved as a shining star when traveller Benighted on his way, sees the bright gleam With heartfelt joy, and knows that morn is nigh. So in his heart she gained a throne as high As that of the fair Queen. The brave Gwain, Love-loyal, in his heart her image fair, Came nearer to the dragon's lair each dayg Each day new deeds of crime he saw. Each day His heart grew heavier, his purpose firm as iron, At length into an open field he came, A field blood-red in hue, and strewn with bones, And there the dragon hungry mouths agape Stood amid wasted fields and bones of knights. Owain quailed not, but drawing from his side, The sword with which his father had of old Made Gans a name of dread to all the foe, Awaited with unfalt'ring eye, the attack. Then in his claws the dragon seized the youth, And bore him to a cave beneath the earth, VVhich glowed with pale and direful fire-light. Then, furious, he saw the mighty beast and swung His heavy sword, but in his need the steel Proved false and turned against the hardened skin. Then Hinging far away the twisted blade, He rushed upon the foe. Before his gaze A sword, forged by giants, Hashed in the light. This grasped he by the hilt and swinging high, Against the dragon's skin he hurled it. The mighty beast, at last war-wearied, sank And lifeless lay among the ghastly dead. Then from the clouds there blazed a glory strange, In form of shield emblazoned with the words "Owain the True," and then in knightly form The story of the light. And all that saw it Marveled, and hope grew big in hearts long used To sorrow. Gans, mourning his lost son, Saw the strange light and wondered much and hoped. But Hilda, maid of Aramath, awaited His coming with joy, not Wonder or surprise, And when he came, then gladly she arose And went with him into a fairer land Around the curve of the long mountain slope. LAURA CAMPBELL, ,I4. Thirty-one SEA COAST SCENE NEAR .XRC.X'l'.X. Q Qtorp of the sea The little town of Fields Port was built on the shores of Humboldt Bay. On one side the majestic height of the Coast Range rose in solemn grandeur, clothed in the green of the giant redwoods, while opposite stretched the peace- ful waters of the bay, its calm disturbed only by the troubled breakers of the bar, a half-mile off, raving in helpless wrath at the row of houses which it could never reach. Very few buildings comprised the business section of the town. The principal one, although its appearance belied it, was a shabby two-story hotel, far overshadowing the little cabins of the workers. From a window of the top story a light shone, and seated in this room was a man bent over his desk writing a letter. The room was small and uninviting. There were two small windows partly covered by dingy green curtains. The furniture was scanty and worn. The person at the desk was middle-aged. His head was covered by a thick crop of black hair, combed low over abroad and prominent forehead. His dark, shrewd eyes were deep-set and heavily shaded by bushy brows. A thick black beard and a mustache almost covered his thin lips, which were set and spoke of harsh determination. After finishing the letter he arose abruptly, displaying a figure, tall and of a strong build. Laying the letter aside he paced slowly back and forth, stroking his beard and knitting his brows in deep thought. The wind, which was blowing terrifically, rattled the little old windows with their dingy curtains half concealing them. "Ah, yes," he muttered, "that contract must be fulfilled and Captain Smith must consent to my wishes," and as if he had settled that point he took a well-worn hat off a nail, and placing it on his head, hurriedly left the room. Passing down a long dark hallway he descended a rickety stairway into the ni ht. g Coming to a cheerful little cabin, he was led into the room by the captain, a small gray-haired old man with a kindly face. "Captain," began his employer, "I received word that that cargo of lumber must be in San Francisco by a day after to-morrow. You may pre- pare to sail by to-morrow afternoon? "But," protested the captain, "the sea is rough, the storm will no doubt be worse to-morrow, and the lives of the crew will be endangered." "I have thought of that, but that cannot be considered now." "Very well, sir," replied the captain. Then, his face alight with-sudden hope, "But the life of your son will be at stake." The face of the employer clouded for an instantg then as remembrance of the contract came to him, it as quickly cleared. "You will follow my orders,', he commanded crisply. 'fBe ready to sail by to-morrow afternoon at two-thirty." The afternoon of the following day the vessel left port. The storm had increased and though the captain feared disaster he did not reveal this fear by word or expression. Four hours later a schooner could be seen in the distance fighting in a death struggle with the treacherous waves. An immense breaker advanced toward the ship and she mounted it 3 the captain and crew held their breath for fear she would strike bottom, for the tide was out and only a few feet of water remained under her. ' "Eighteen feet to larboard," yelled the sounder, and the captain swung the boat round to the north jetty, where the channel appeared to be deeper. Thirty-three Suddenly a heavy sea struck her, driving her toward an invisible rock border- ing the jetty, against which she was dashed with terrific force. All hope was abandoned. A mere toy in the hands of a stronger power, she was being slowly beaten to destruction. Nothing could be done for she was beyond the reach of life boats, nor was other help available, and the only son of the employer was going to his death. Out on the peninsula a man paced slowly back and forth, beating his hands upon his breast and crying in his agony a prayer for mercy. The wind was blowing a gale and the intense darkness mercifully hid from sight the ship which was being dashed to pieces on the rocks of the jetty. Only now and then flashes of lightning across the heavens revealed for an instant the distressing sight. The next morning the sun shone in all its beautyg the bay and the hills had never appeared more calm and peaceful. The bar protected on either side by the north and south jetties showed nothing of the night's disaster except a few pieces of wreckage which floated on its surface. GERTRUDE HARLAN, '14. The btotm A gloomy bank of threat'ning clouds appeared, Far off a distant rumbling sound was heard, The grim wolves howled, next came the cry of birds, Great sheets of lightning flashed, the grass was seared, At last the crash of thunder that we feared, Another Hash! we watched nor spoke a word,- It seemed the wrath of God had been incurred. As darker grew the sky, a cave we neared, And entered quick within its friendly walls. Down crashed a stately pine just overhead, And frightened, from the cave we then did run, But soon crept back at Mother Nature's calls, And waiting in that natural home instead, Stood listening to the rain which had begun. -BERTHA ALDEN, '13. WW Thirty-fam' The Qlirrus VVel1, me an' Si had just finished hayin', and hearin' there was a circus a-cummin' to town, and feelin' pretty Hush with money, decided to go. You bet, we was the fust ones on the grounds, and made right for the eatin' house. My! how we did eat, never thinking of the price. But when the waiter hol- lered out, "Four dollars, please!" wall, Si, his eyes just popped out. He stood there, his jaws stuck t'gether with popcorn balls, and his pockets bulgin' out with guber-peas--an' the more he tried to protest the harder his jaws stuck, and the madder he got. I see there was trouble in the air, so I steps up and says, says I, "My treat." A feller has ter be good-natured on Circus Day, anyway. Wall, the next thing on the program was a side-show, so we started fer that, but were side-tracked by a feller shoutin', "Five cents a ride on the merry-go-round." Me an' Si hopped on fer a ride. Bein' farmers we had a perfect understandin' of all kinds of ridin' animals, an' I guess the feller runnin' the music tried to git the best of us, for the more we hollered, "VVhoa, Dick!" the faster he made them horses run round the track. I tell yer we swallered hard to keep that four-dollar dinner down,-and was mighty glad when the hosses made up their minds to slacken speed. Seemed like we'd never git to the show, for the next thing what caught our eyes was a man larrupin' 'lasses taffy on a hook. I was allus fond of that perticlar chew, so filled my pockets. At last we came to the side-show. Me an' Si will never fergit it. I sure stayed clear of them elephants, an' tigers an' things. Skeered! my hair stood on end! Then I had to look fer Si. I 'lowed he'd have more sense than offer a monkey a chew of 'lasses taffy. But, believe me, that was the fust thing he did. Wall, that monkey did everything but talk. I'll bet yer he'd a-given most anything to have just said one or two words, but the poor critter sat thar a-tuggin' an' pullin' in vain. Poor Si, he was gettin' into trouble at every stage. I'll tell yer another of his experiences while I think of it. Now Si, he has a red goatee, an' as we was passin' the parrot's cage, ofcourse that critter had a few inpertinent remarks to make. When he hollered out, "Red-head !" an' "Hayseed !" Si lost his temper, an' slipped up to that cage, an' I'll tell yer, feathers flew fer a while. That bird was too speedy fer Si, an' before I could say, "Now I lay me down to wink," it had a fast holt on Si's goatee, a-pullin' an' haulin', until his chin was as long as the neck of a gourd. An' the next thing, I see Si pull his jack-knife out right quick, an' cut his whiskers off slick and clean. Poor Si, he looked a fright! I held my sides an' coffed an' laffed, an' laffed an' coffed. just then the ban' struck up, "Take Me Home To Mother." And once was enough fer me. RHEA SAGE, '13, ,qfgi .su f X -.

No one had suspectedg of that he felt certain. For five years he had hugged to his breast the thought of that hidden gold. It had sustained him through torturing days and endless nights. Once free he could get the money and start life anew. And now he was free. The prison gates had opened. . Two days later as he walked down a crowded city street a heavy hand fell upon his arm. He looked up into a face he knew-the face of a man who had sent him to jail. "I'll take that suit-casef' said the officer quietly, but his fingers tightened on something half-drawn from his pocket. A look strangely like relief came into the face of the convict. He held out the bag without a word. The officer took it, but his hand did not leave his pocket. He did not understand his easy victory. "You knew all the time ?,' asked the convict. The officer allowed himself a grim smile. "I waited for you to get out and show me." The convict nodded. "Well, you can take it back to them. Of course you won't believe me, but I was going to send it back." "You meant to give it up P" incredulously. "Not at first. I meant to take it and go away. But I couldn't. You have made it easy for me. I know you are honest. Take it back to them and tell them I've started new. I'm going to be honest, too." A little line of red mounted slowly in the ofHcer's face. He stared at the other without speaking. "You don't want me, do you P" asked the convict half fearfully. "No," the other replied, slowly, "I don't want you." The. man glided away in the crowd. The officer stood, the stolen gold in his hand, absorbed in thought. When he finally raised his head, the convict was out of sight. He drew a long breath. ' "I didn't mean to give it back," he muttered. "I thought I'd take half of it and let him keep the rest. Now I've got it all. But I canit be worse than a convict." Tightening his grip on the suit-case, he grimly turned toward head- quarters. LAURA MYERS, '13.

Thirty-six when Qtupih 'llliurneh the inks an me "Yes, she's married now. Did you ever hear how it happened? No? Then I'll just proceed to tell you, since the joke was on me in the end. "You know, we give a reception and dance to the other schools after some event has been played. Well, it was at one of these entertainments that the fun began. I had invited one of my friends over from across the bay. He graduated from High the year I entered, and went to work in his father's office, but I had known him ever since I was a baby. As I was saying, he was at one of these dances and asked me to give him a 'knock-down' to some of the pretty 'muffsf and I did so. It was just before supper that he came up to me and asked: " 'Whois that pretty dame sitting over there on the end seat, next to that miss with the pink dress ?" " fWhy, that's our new tea-er-0-I mean that's er-er-one of the girls that graduated last year.' "I lied like the dickens when I told him that, but I thought I'd play a little joke on him, because I knew how he did hate a teacher. Once he told me that the 'biddysl Cthat's what he called the lady teachersj were the meanest beings on earth. 'Why, they'd rather flunk a person than have a new automobile presented to them. All they're made for is to make our lives a misery. It's one sure thing, I'll never marry a teacher, even if I have to go back to Africa and get a native for a wife.' "If all the names he called the teachers were written down, they'd make a book larger than Webster's Dictionary. "You see that's why I didn't tell him she was our new teacher who had just come from college. "'Say, introduce me will you. She's a belle. It's a wonder I never saw her before, at some of the dances.' " 'W-h-why, s-su-sure,' I said, I was laughing so hard to myself that I could hardly say it, but I took him over and introduced him. " 'Miss Burns, meet my friend Mr. Evans,' I said. "After I had introduced them I went out on the balcony and laughed till I had a pain in my side. To think of Bill Evans dancing with a school teacher, and saying, 'Yes, Maa'm,' and 'With great pleasure,' and all such courteous phrases. Not four years ago he'd have answered 'Umphuhf and 'I won't till I get ready, and now to hear him! It would make gloom himself laugh. Gee! But what would he do to me when he discovered that she was a teacher-a per- son he most despised on earth? I began to shake in my shoes, from fear of his wrath, when he turned it loose on me. If it was anything like what he called a teacher to her back, after she had kept him after school a couple of hours to make up Virgil or to work physics experiments, I knew I'd never want to look another man in the face again, for fear it was he. 4 "Well, after the dance was finished he came toward me. I could feel the sweat drops rolling down my guilty face. But I was soon relieved when he came up to me and said with a smile, 'Gee! but she's a peach !' When he said that, I knew he had not yet found out the joke. "Finally the supper dance came, and I looked around to find him. At last I saw him, and with whom do you think he was? The last person in the world I thought of. It was our new teacher. He was taking her to supper. All the kids were gazing at him, and whispering among themselves. And to think it was all my fault! Oh! good Lord, deliver me from it! I wanted to go up to Bill and tell him who she was, but my courage failed me, and it was soon too late. Things had gone too far. I knew that Bill would half kill me when he found that I had deceived him. Thirty-seven "That night I didnlt sleep more than half an hour, and when I did, I kept dreaming that Bill was a big giant goblin, who was trying to choke me. I woke up a dozen times and found myself saying in my sleep, fDon't, Bill, please don't. It was only a joke. I didn't mean for it to go so far. Donlt kill me, Bill. Iill never do it againf 'fSunday morning finally came around. I didn't hear from Bill or see him for over a week or so. Oh! and I forgot to tell you th-e two weeks following that fateful night were the Christmas vacation weeks. "One week had passed, and every day I thought of poor Bill and the joke I had played on him. I wondered how it was he never found out that she was our teacher. I knew he would surely have been over here and given me what I deserved if he had heard. "It was the last day of the vacation when I received a letter post-marked - City. I knew right away whom it was from, but was afraid to open it. The thought came to me that perhaps Bill had found out. At last I summoned up my courage, opened the envelope and took out the following: . January 3, 1913. DEAR FRIEND 1- Perhaps you will be surprised when you learn that I am going to marry your teacher Miss Burns. Fine joke you played on me, but I will forgive you. The wedding will be held next month. Will send you an invitation later. Sincerely yours, BILL EVANS. 'AI couldn't believe it until I went to school next day and found a new teacher. I saw then that sly cunning Cupid had turned the joke on me.'l MILTON WRIGHT, 'l3. lifz on the Jfatm Life on the farm for the children, Where there's plenty of room for all, Lures us in Spring and Summer, As well as in Winter and Fall.

CLARA STRUVE, '15, Thirty-eight "Greater lube bath no Milan" It was a little old lady who appeared at the country station and asked in a high pitched voice, "How much does it cost to reach the city ?" "Two dollars and seventy-tive cents," the agent replied. "Oh, yes! to be sure,', she said, "I forgot." The agent wondered at the odd little figure in black with a small shawl of the same color thrown over her shoulders, and on her head a black poke bonnet with a bunch of lavender lilacs perched high on the crown. Beneath the bonnet one could see her thin white hair combed back smoothly from her face and twisted in a tight knot at the back of the neck. A pair of black bonnet strings were tied securely under a pointed chin made even sharper by a small drawn mouth which failed to reveal any teeth whatever. A small round nose was set squarely between a pair of sparkling brown eyes which were somewhat far back in her head. Her cheeks were pale and wrinkled. "Only four more dozen eggs and I'll have that amount, and then I can see Miranda and her twins. Oh! but they'll be tickled." E This was the third time, for she was very absent-minded, that she had sought out the ticket agent to ask the price of a ticket to the city and return. Once during each of the past three weeks, she had presented herself before the ticket window, and with her thin brown hands had spread out a great number of nickels and dimes and asked if she had enough of them. T his time she went away very happy and her sharp eyes sparkled more than everx She had two dozen eggs home in the cupboard now, surely her hens would furnish the required two dozen the following day, and she was confident that she would be able to sell them to the city folks, for they were always anxious to procure fresh eggs. Then she could start on the following day, and wouldn't Miranda be tickled when she saw her, and w0uldn't she herself be delighted at the wonders of the city! On the succeeding day she obtained the required number of eggs, sold them, and made hasty preparations for her trip. Thus it was a happy little old lady who stepped up to the ticket office the next day, spread out her long hoarded nickels and dimes before the agent, and in a sharp trembling voice asked for a return ticket to the city. Strangely fascinated, she placed her tiny foot on the step of the overland train, was helped aboard by the conductor, and her two carpet bags conveyed to a seat by a porter who received only a smiling nod from the old lady, whose purse was now empty. When comfortably seated, she opened one of her bags and extracted two unfinished grey nitted sweaters, her skein of yarn and two knitting needles. Her small long hands holding the' needles moved so quickly that one could scarcely distinguish one needle from the other, sparkling in the sunlight. It was a pleasant change to glance at the old woman, quietly working, after studying other faces whose owners were gaudily and expensively dressed, and who were engrossed in reading the latest paper or magazine. At noon she laid aside her knitting and from one of her bags took out a small brown parcel. This contained her lunch-two pieces of bread and butter and three ginger cookies. Quietly she sat there, not knowing that her fellow- travelers were interested in watching her and commenting to their friends about her. Her lunch eaten, she again took up her work and soon completed each of the little sweaters. It was now a quarter to three and the train was due in the city at 4:45 P. M. Surely Miranda and her husband would be there to meet her, for she had written them that she was coming for a three weeks' visit. Thirty-nine Little did she suspect that Miranda ranked among the highest in social circles, that her husband was a man of wealth and high financial standing, and their home a mansion. Miranda upon receipt of the letter made light of her mother's trip, thinking it one of her whims. Where would she get sufficient money to defray the cost of the visit ?" she asked her husband. "It would be absurd to expect herf, Miranda, proud and haughty, had no desire to entertain her poor old mother, for she knew she would be out of place among her many fashionable guests. Even should her mother consent to be decked in the latest fashion as became a women of high standing, she was certain that Herbert, her husband, would never spend that much on his mother-in-law. If by chance, she arrived in the city and found no one at the station to meet her, Miranda was sure that she would return on the home-going train. Thus, she lightly dismissed the affair from her mind. Although their mother passed the matter over lightly, not so the twins, for they were anxious to see their gran'ma, who had so generously given them all the ginger cookies they wanted during their stay at the farm two summers before. Overhearing their mother and father discussing the event the evening before her expected arrival, they determined to take things in their own hands and meet her themselves. Certainly two boys seven years old were able to look out for their own interests and the grandmother's also. They did not disclose their plan to anyone, not even "Nurse," who was sure to oppose it and maintain that two small boys were unable to take care of themselves. The next afternoon, father at work, mother at tea, and Nurse gone, for it was her day off, they were able to slip away unnoticed to the station, with their little red express wagon, which was to carry home grandmother's bags, and maybe some ginger cookies. While awaiting the train, their attention was attracted to an organ grinder with his monkey. They had not seen a monkey for a long time and must not miss giving this one a penny. An automobile was coming down the street, but they paid little regard to it nor did they notice the incoming train. On came the machine faster and faster, and just as they were about to turn aside from its path, a runaway team dashed toward them from the opposite direction. "Look out," shouted some one. No one paid any heed to the hissing train, which was fast disgorging a hurrying, crowding mass. All eyes were riveted on the two babes so unconscious of peril, yet all seemed incapable of action. But help was to come from another quarter. The shrewd eyes of an old lady dressed in black and with a little poke bonnet on her head, who had just descended from the train and was gazing helplessly about her, took in the situation at a glance. Not thinking of self she rushed toward the children. They had escaped the automobile but their life was now endangered by the run- ning horses. If only she could reach them in time. A cheer broke from the spectators as she grasped each by his suspenders and with all her strength threw them to either side of her out of the horses' path. The next instant she was trampled beneath the feet of the running bays. A crowd gathered quickly. The little boys not recognizing their grand- mother and thoroughly frightened at what had occurred, hastened home, resolv- ing to say nothing of their adventures for fear of punishment. A week later, "Nursel' happened to be glancing over the weekly paper when she noticed the headlines, "Woman Buried Unidentified," and read a brief account of the accident.

EE? f f will Forty-one 'Wllibz lamina-Goh Elms 'QEm" Colonel I. R. Lenning,-no person ever presumed to call him "Colonel," or "Lenning,,' or anything at all save his full title-was standing before his mirror, waving his pudgy hands in majestic gestures as he rehearsed his speech for the evening. Speechmaking was the Colonel's occupation. He was called upon for a speech at every banquet, at every ball, and at every political meet- ing. And always and invariably his speeches ended with the words, "The ladies-God bless 'em." C The Colonel was a tall man and stout, with the overgrown stoutness of a Habby mushroom. His hands and feet were small and well groomed. His collars were white and shining, but above them always hung a thick red layer of flesh, creased and unhealthy looking. His face also was llorid save his nose, which was very white with blue dents in the nostrils. His eyes, close-set near his nose, were sharp and twinkling, and unwinking in gaie., Their cold. shallow depths were unshaded save by the lashless lids, and surrounded by layers of fat. His lips were full and protruding, his mouth very small and dimpled at the corners. But Colonel J. R. Lenning could only be known in his full glory when. at a banquet, with a bland smile illuminating his shining countenance and a sentimental tear trickling slowly among the hills and valleys of his cheeks, he would fold his hands over his ample stomach, and gazing up to heaven say in a choking whisper, "The ladies-God bless 'em." As the Colonel thus spoke these words to an imaginary audience there was an excited knock, and into the room burst Hiram Brown, a near neighbor of the Colonel's. "There has been a wreck, ten miles from here," he cried. "Mn Grey will not be here for the banquet. What shall we do ?" Cecil Grey was the new school teacher and a banquet had been planned for his reception. Colonel R. Lenning rose to the occasion. "Follow me," he commanded. and strode to where his horse and buggy was waiting to convey him to the reception. As he stepped into the buggy he turned and addressed his assem- bled friends. "I will bring the young man back at risk of life and limb, and will then submit him to the tender ministrations of the ladies-God bless 'emfy As he drove on his way a satisfied smile played about his lips despite the discomfort of the drive. For if the unknown teacher, his threatened rival for feminine attention, were the victim of the wreck, was not he, Colonel R. Lenning, the hero? At length he arrived at the scene of the disaster but could see no young man awaiting his arrival. In fact he was told that no young man had been on the train that morning. As he stood pondering this unpleasant news, he heard a voice saying, "There's Colonel R. Lenning, ma'am. He's a school trustee of Wellsbiirg. Heis looking for you novv,', and turning, found himself confronted by a young and decidedly pretty woman. Clasping her hands, she leaned toward him, crying, "Oh, Colonel Lenning, I am Cecil Grey. Do take me from this horrible place, but first find my precious pet, my darling child. I have lost him." Colonel J. R. Lenning, who had been viewing with stunned surprise but with great delight this lovely creature, returned to earth with a shock as he heard these last words, but his gallantry conquered his dismay and he escorted the young lady to the buggy, and bravely took her basket, in which he was informed that precious pet was always carried. He wandered helplessly, but vainly about, seeking for a lost child, and at length came upon one playing in front of the station. XfVith a sigh of relief Colonel J. R. Lenning picked up the child, placed it in the capacious basket F arty-two if 3 Br and made his way back to the buggy. In solemn silence they drove off, the mocking word "married" re-echoing in the Colonel's brain. When they reached Wellsburg they found the banquet already in prog- ress. Cecil Grey was welcomed heartily when the people recovered some- what from their surprise. At length came Colonel J. R. Lenning's speech. Never had be been more eloquent. Never had the tears coursed so freely down the cheeks of the ladies in his audience. Never had his gestures been more majestic, his words more intense. But just as he reached the sounding climax, a scream rang through the hall. Cecil Grey sprang to her feet and cried to Colonel R. Lenning, "Where is my child-my precious Pet? NYhere have you put him ?" . At the same instant there rushed into the room an unknown woman, who made her way toward Colonel R. Lenning demanding her child, and de- manding of everyone who opposed her, "And what business had he taking the child of an honest woman, and carrying it off in a basket ?" Ten minutes later, Colonel R. Lenning, under arrest for kidnapping a baby, aritl with the words "Not married! Only a poodle dogf' Hitting through his dazed brain, stood feebly gazing at the moon repeating mechancially to himself, "The ladies-God bless 'em." LAURA CAMPBELL, '14. Btzams of bums Oft when at school I think of home,- There, where my thoughts have always flown To places that I'd always seek, When, tired of being ever meek, I'd run away. For there no one might speak so sharp And always make me toe the mark, For only birds and wild things look Upon the peaceful hidden brook, So far away. On one side is a mountain steep, And on its right a chasm deep, In front is that dear little brook, That makes it such a cozy nook And keeps all foes away. And there in sorrow I'd oft run For comfort, they had always some, In joy I always went right there To tell them of my new found cheer And drive all gloom away. , Then at a quick command and sharp, I return to earth with a sudden start, And then my thoughts in sorrow turn To the fact that lessons I must learn, And leave my dreams so far away. , LA VERNE PRESTON, 'l5. Forty-three 115132 Mailers j The night was bitter cold. A fine white snow fell noiselessly on the paved street. Flickering lamps lighted the streets and dark alleys and displayed young men and women trudging slowly to their work, bearing in their hands their midnight lunch pails. In the distance loomed up the murky shadows of a great cotton mill, and near it a huge steel plant. Now and then the heavens were illumined with a ruddy glow as the old kettles of molten iron were turned into the earth molds to cool and harden. In this direction the night toilers were wending their way. Among them was a woman carrying a babe in her shivering bare arms. She also was making her way toward the great cotton mill. As she trudged along with these toilers she thought of the past. Not two years ago she too had gone back and forth to the mill. Those were happy times. She remem- bered how she met one who later became her husbandg how they had joked as they worked side by sideg how this liking had developed into love and they had been married. They had rented and furnished a small home, where they lived happily and contentedly together. A baby girl was born and they named it after her. All these remembrances passed through her weary brain as she walked toward the mills. Since the death of her husband three months ago, the whole world had changed for her. There was no happiness in anything that she did. She soon spent all the money that they had saved, and the furniture was all sold. The rent was due but there was no money to pay it. So again she joined the laborers. When she came to the factory she went bravely up to the office door and knocked. She was admitted, but in a few minutes came out again, a look of failure and distress on her face. She was young, yet wrinkles of care furrowed her pretty features. Her dress was rent in many places. A red shawl was folded over her shoulders and down around the sleeping infant. Neglected, jet black hair fell in un- kempt masses about her. Two bare arms were red with cold, yet her face was pale, and no winter wind and snow could again bring the rosy hue back to it. She stood a long time as if in doubt what to do. Then suddenly a fearful smile stole over her unhappy and careworn countenance, and with a firm, hurried step, made her way toward the business section of the great city. For more than three hours she walked through the streets. She seemed not to notice the biting cold, for some intent purpose racked her brain. At last she came to a large and beautiful mansion. It was the home of Mr. Castleton, the owner of the cotton mill in which she had worked, and in which her husband had been killed. She took the shawl from her shoulders, wrapped it around her babe and laid it tenderly on the porch. But as she did so a pang of pity and remorse sprang up within her. She drew the child up in her arms again and clasped it close to her breast. Again and again she wondered if she were doing the right thing. Should she take the babe, and let it starve, or should she give it to one who owed it a living? At last she persuaded her- self to leave the child, and with a last kiss upon its tiny lips, she laid it down upon the porch, rang the door bell, and stumbled out into the dark street. Hearing the bell, Mr. Castleton sent the servant to the door, and in a few moments she returned bearing a baby in her arms. To the shawl was pinned a note, which read as follows: "The wheels of your factory crushed'out the life of my husband. Starving and homeless I tried to obtain work but you turned me away to die. I think you owe this, my child, a home and living. Your Toilerf' F arty-four XYhen Klr. Castleton finished reading this note he was angry at the treat- ment his employees had received in his mill. lle told the servant to take the infant and care for it, and putting on his heavy coat went out in search of its mother. llut the search proved fruitless and soon he returned home. ln the meantime the mother was slowly wandering' down the street. She knew not where she was going, for she had no home and no money. The cold became intense. The icy wind whistled around the corners, and swept the snow into her face, yet she was not aware of it, for her hody had hecomc numh and almost lifeless. ller mind was in a dizzy whirl. All reasoning powers had left her. hut still she kept walking, for a gentle voice seemed to he calling her. She knew not from whence it came yet she followed for it resembled the voice of her husband. She pursued this phantom voice down one street and up another. till at last she came to the cotton mill. which stood on the edge of a large lake. She approached the edge of the wharf and still the voice in a pleading way begged her to come. 'lihen as she gazed far out over the rippling waves, a lihny mist arose, and crept closer and closer, until finally she recognized in this shining cloud the form of her husband. lle approached her with out-stretched arms: she stepped out into the darkness and the arms of the great waters gathered her up and carried her to him.

Much of this has been cut down but there are still thousands of acres left. Lumbering in Humboldt was first carried on by means of oxen and horses. In later years the steam donkey was introduced, and as the work can be car- ried on more rapidly and at less expense with donkeys than with horses or oxen, the latter have been completely discarded. First in the process of logging are the choppers, who go into the woods, pick out the trees suitable for lumber and cut them down. The choppers are divided into "sets," each set consisting of two men. When a tree has been selected, a place most suitable for falling it is chosen, and if necessary, smaller trees are felled across its path to prevent it from breaking when it strikes the ground. A staging or platform is then placed around the tree for the choppers to stand upon while working. Then by means of axes and saws, a V-shaped incision is made from one-fourth to half the diameter of the tree. This is called the under-cut, and its purpose is to guide the tree in falling. When the under-cut is completed, the choppers saw into the tree, about six or eight inches above the level of the under-cut and directly opposite it. If the tree is standing in such a position that it will not fall of its own accord when sawed nearly through, a flat triangular piece of steel is driven by means of a sledge, into the crack back of the saw, until the tree falls. Directly after the choppers come the peelers. First by means of a sharp axe they cut rings about four inches in width and ten or twelve feet apart, around the tree. Then by means of a steel bar they remove the bark. This applies to redwood trees only, as pine, Hr and cedar are not peeled. After the peelers come the sawyers, who by means of crosscut saws, cut the trees into logs varying in length from twelve to twenty-four feet. Some- times for special purposes, trees are sawed into thirty-twofthirty-six, and forty-foot lengths, but this is seldom done in the case of redwood trees, as the wood is not strong enough. Next comes the logging process and this is done by two methods. Une makes use of the Tacoma and Seattle donkeys, and needs no swampers, while the other is done by what is commonly known as a "logging donkey." The latter is by no means as powerful as the Seattle or Tacoma donkey, and therefore has to be preceded by a crew of 'fswampersf' The Hswampersf' by means of picks, shovels and a "blocking donkey," construct a road up to the fallen timber. A line or rope is pulled by men known as "rigging pullers," up to the log and fastened to it. The log is then pulled up to the donkey, which is situated beside the main or skid road. Here they are placed one behind the other, the largest log ahead and the smallest behind, and fastened together by means of steel ropes about six feet long with a hook in each end. At the lower end of this skid road, beside a railroad, stands the bull donkey. lt has two lines, the back and main lines, so arranged that when one is being pulled in, it pulls the other out. The main line is much larger and stronger than the back line, and to this the logs are fastened. The lmck line is fastened to the end of the main line, and is only used to pull the main line back up the road. All along the road and within easy reach are two signal wires connected with an electric bell situated near the bull donkey. They are so arranged that the bell rings when the wires are brought together. Forty-s1'x VVhen the logs up in the woods are all coupled together and fastened to the bull donkey line, the water slinger fthe man who has charge of the load and who sprinkles the road with waterj, rings one bell. Immediately the engineer at the bull donkey starts the engine which pulls on the main line, and the ,load starts on its downward journey. If for any reason the water slinger wishes the line to stop he again rings one bell. If he desires the main line brought back he rings two bells, if he wants it to go ahead slowly, three bells, and in case of an accident, five bells. VVhen logs reach the landing they are immediately loaded on cars by means of a loading donkey and taken away to the mill. The method of logging with the Seattle or Tacoma donkey is somewhat different. Either donkey, like the bull donkey, has a main and back line. These lines are pulled out over the logs so as to form a large circle. A choker, a steel line varying from thirty-two to forty'-two feet in length, is placed around the log. The free end of the choker is then fastened to a hook known as the "tag hook," which in turn is attached to the main line. The signal is then given by the signal boy, commonly called "whistle punk," by means of a wire fastened to the donkey's whistle, and the log is pulled down to the landing. Here the chokers are removed, and the logs are loaded on cars and taken to the mill pond. - CHESTER CARLSON, 'l3.

Chief among these were the Tahtoos, occupying the country about the northern part of Humboldt Bay and along Mad River, and the Ki Pomos, dwelling along the Eel River Valley. The latter were a fierce warlike tribe and made many ferocious depredations upon the simple-hearted and less warlike Indians of the north. It is about the wars of these two tribes with which my story deals. The Indian village of the Tahtoos was in wild consternation. Squaws were running from wigwam to wigwam, dragging crying children by the hand, and carrying tiny infants upon their backs. An Indian brave would dart through the wigwams, snatch up a bundle of arrows and disappear again into the forest. Three bow-shots to the south could be heard the piercing, yelling whoops of the Indian warriors. The fierce Ki Pomos were steadily closing in upon the Tahtoos. At the entrance to the largest wigwam in the village, sat a beautiful Indian maiden. Her long jet black hair, bound with shining beads, glowed with splendor in the bright sunshine. I-Ier drooping head and dark tear- filled eyes disclosed the fact that she was silently weeping. Kata, daughter of the chief of the Tahtoos, was she. Yukukoola, chief of the warlike Ki Pomos, had demanded of Owena, chief of the Tahtoos, his beautiful daughter, Kata. Ohwena was unwilling to give his daughter to one he deemed an enemy, so a fierce war followed, in which the Tahtoos were being beaten. The chief saw that his braves would be overcome in a short time, so he gathered a few of his Indian warriors and held council together. They finally decided to give up Kata to the chief of the Ki Pomos. An Indian brave carrying a broken bow and arrow fwhich signified trucej went before Chief Yukukoola and told him they would give up Kata, and that she would start in a few days for their village. So once again peace was made between the two tribes. The day had come for Kata to depart. Ohwena was to choose one of the bravest of his tribe to conduct her south to the village of the Ki Pomos. There were many who might be chosen, but only one of these did Kata wish. It was Waukauma, the bravest, Heetest and strongest Indian of the Tahtoos tribe. Many times had he presented to her the wreath of victory which he had won at some of the Indian games. Many times they had sat together on the river bank, where he had told her tales of war and love. It was for this reason that Kata wished deep down in her heart that VVaukauma would be chosen. Ten braves were sent out to hide in the nearby thicket. Kata was blind- folded, taken out in the open and given a bow and arrow. She was to choose her own guide by shooting an arrow into the air. It was to be the one to whom the arrow fell closest. She drew the bow string, but as she did so she heard what sounded like the "peep peep" of a linnet. None but Kata knew that call, for many times had Waukauma called her with that signal. She changed the direction of the arrow and let fly. It struck at the feet of Wau- kauma and he was chosen as her conductor. , The canoe Was ready and soon they were on the way to the home of the Ki Pomos. As the canoe slid smoothly over the waters, Waukauma whis- Fifty-two pered words of love to Kata, and told her that some day he would sweep down upon the cruel chief of the Ki Pomos and carry her away. Kata listened to his stories and was partly consoled by them. After a while they came to the end of the journey by water and travelled by land. just as the sun was setting they arrived at the outskirts of the Ki Pomos village. It was a sad parting between the brave Waukauma and the beautiful Kata. Long did they linger at the edge of the Indian village. After he left her she watched him pass out of sight among the trees and bushes, and while she stood pon- dering, the stillness was broken by a sad farewell song, which went ringing through the trees until finally it could be heard no more. Slowly and sadly Kata made her way to the Ki Pomos chief's wigwam. Ten times the moon had changed, but Kata remained still at the Ki Pomos village. Summer and autumn had gone, but Waukauma did not come as he had promised. Yukukoola tried many times to persuade Kata to be his wife, but she shook her head and would not listen to him. Many times he became angry at her refusal, and said he would kill her, but she seemed to care not for these threats and told him she would be far happier dead. Day after day he threatened and abused her, but still she shook her head. At last a time came when Yukukoola became so angry that he told her he was going to wipe her tribe out of existence. He gathered together his braves and told them that in a few days they would cross the mountains, descend upon the Tahtoos and murder the entire tribe while they slept. It was a cold, stormy day that the Ki Pomos set out on this cruel expe- dition. All the Indian braves were painted and tatooed in bright war paints. Blood-curdling warwhoops were uttered by some of the over-eager warriors. After the Ki Pomos had gone, a solitary form clad in furs, crept stealthily from under the side of a Wigwam. Quickly it disappeared into the forest. That evening just at dusk a tired water-soaked figure staggered into the Tahtoos village and fell into the chiefls Wigwam. Ghwena was lying upon his blankets, suffering from a wound torn in his breast by the claws of an angry grizzly. He saw the person enter his Wigwam, and recognizing his daughter, cried out for joy, "Our Kata! she has come back!" Many of the inhabitants, hearing the cry, .came running to the chief's Wigwam. As soon as Kata recovered breath she told the listeners the plans of the Ki Pomos. When chief Ohwena heard her story, he called Wau- kauma to his side and told him to go forth with their small band and fight against the enemy. In a few minutes Waukauma had gathered together his Indian warriors and they set off to meet the larger band of the fierce Ki Pomos. On the vast, wind-swept and almost naked hogback, southeast of the Tahtoos village, looming largely up from the broad grassy back of the moun- tain, is the majestic, rugged, and isolated boulder called "Blue Rock." just below this rock the mountain side is covered with gigantic redwoods. It was among these dense black trees that Waukauma hid his warriors and waited the coming of the enemy. Not long did they have to wait. Over the bare hogback crept the painted Ki Pomos. Down the mountain they came, straight toward the hidden Tahtoos. There was a sudden, piercing war-cry, and arrows tipped with poison of death flew thick and fast into the masses of startled Ki Pomos warriors. Taken unawares they fled to the woods for safety, only to be tomahawked by a hidden foe. VVhen the arrows were wasted they fought with tomahawks and daggers. As a storm suddenly springs up, flashes and thunders, and then dies down, so ceased the Indians their fighting and yelling, and turned towards the rugged, majestic Blue Rock, where, crouched and silhouetted against the flash-lightened sky, two bronze figures glistened with oil and paint. Each held in his hand a dagger. The lightning ceased and all was in F iffy-three darkness again. Then suddenly another flash, and out on the rock could be seen VVaukauma, knife poised in hand, ready to strike a death blow to the chief of the Ki Pomos. The next illumination showed Watikatima standing alone with his opponent lifeless at his feet. A cry of victory rang from every Talitoos, and went ringing down the mountain side to the Indian village. A beautiful Indian maiden, sitting at the entrance to the chief's wigwam, heard the cry of victory and stole into the forest to meet VVaukauma, her lover. Together they walked down the mountain side, and into the chief's wigwam. "Ohwena, I have come to ask for the hand of your daughter." "Take her, VVaukau1na, and rule kindly over our people. I am going to that sunny island, way out in the Pacific, where the deer and antelope offer themselves for food, where the flowers bloom always and the sun shines forever. It was our Kata who saved this tribe of people, and it was she who saved this village, so let it be called after her, 'Our Kata'." Long ago the Indian village was destroyed by the incoming white man. and in its place grew up the fnrst settlement on Humboldt Bay, which was named 'fUnion Town." This name was later discarded, and the town was renamed after the beautiful Indian maiden who had once saved her tribe from destruction. Instead of "Our Kata" the two words were joined, and to-day there stands a beautiful white city on the foothills bordering Humboldt Bay, called "Arcata." MILTON VVRIGHT, 'l3.

ELLA ERICSCJN, 'l3. F iffy-five Basket weaning The first step in basket-weaving is to procure material for the work. Hazel sticks are gathered when the leaves are nearly all open, for then the bark will peel off easily. The squaws go far up on the mountains, to some place that has been burned over a year or two before, for the hazel bushes grow quickly after a fire and the sticks are straight and much finer. They cut as many as will be needed for the year and upon reaching home the twigs are laid out on the ground, skinned as soon as possible, then sorted and tied in bunches. The roots used are either of willow or pine. The pine roots are harder to procure as the Indians have to go into the heavy timber to get them. The wil- low roots, most often used, are gathered just as soon as the river begins to fall from its high water mark. The women and children take the roots that have lodged in between the rocks or have been washed on to the trees, and peel them by running them over a knife. The grass so essential to basket-weaving grows in tufts or clusters both in the mountains and along the edge of small lakes and creeks. The women camp in these places for a few days, cut the grass, and tie it in bundles, and ugon their return spread it out in the sun to bleach until it is white. . Sword-fern is an important fac- tor in the making of baskets. The squaws take out two long strips from each fern and dye them red with alder bark. Maiden-hair fern stems are used for the black designs. The yel- low is the porcupine quill fa certain species of grassj. Very often they substitute Oregon grape root as a dye, and the difference is scarcely notice- able. If they make use of the quills, they let the black ends show inside the basket. Quill baskets are quite ex- pensive. Before starting to weave, the squaws soak the ferns and roots so that they will not break when they bend them. The grass has a ridge or vein that runs along the center of the back. They put the root end of the grass in their mouth, dampen their fingers and as the thumb nail runs down along it, it presses the vein in Hat. In beginning a basket, a few hazel sticks are taken and wrapped with roots for a short distance. Then the Weavers take two pieces of grass, one for each root, and weave. Weaving is always going ahead and not wrapping back. As they weave, they keep adding extra sticks. When it comes to rounding or making the basket smaller, a stick is whittled fiat and small and the two are woven as one for a row or two, and then the extra piece broken off. When they start to put in the design, they tie the sticks in bunches and space them. This is why the squaws do not have to know how to count. VVhen a new piece of grass is put in, an end about half an inch long is left inside. An uncleaned basket is all grass inside. When the basket is finished the interior is scraped smooth with a spoon, then washed with a damp cloth, and stuffed with rags until dry. This is to give a definite shape to the basket. A poor basket maker may put in too many sticks so that the basket is bumpy l Fifty-six and dented. In this case when finished she fills it with damp sand, and where the dents appear presses the sand in hard to make the basket dry evenly. When making caps, the weavers use an old one as a mold and put the new cap upon that to dry. Years ago when there were only Indian wigwams, the squaws had a basket for every purpose. Even for babies they made three or four. The first was small, and as the baby grew a new one was made for it. Even to-day, some eat acorns from an acorn basket, one that is 'made of roots and will hold liquid. ALICE HAUGH, '14, 'Eine Qhwiau Jfuneral VVhen an Indian is ill the medicine men, or Indian doctors' are summoned to care for him. They treat the sick with various herb remedies and sing songs in their native tongue. These songs are supposed to have influence in driving away the evil spirits that cause sickness and death. No one is allowed in the room when an Indian doctor is attending the sick, for that would bregk the spell. " Should the person die, he is buried as soon as the coffin is made. It is constructed of pine boards, lined with white and covered on the outside with either black calico or black velveteen. These coverings vary according to how much money they have, or how much they care for the deceased. They put clean clothes, perhaps new, on the dead, wrap the corpse in a blanket and then place it in the coffin. The body is then taken through the window. They proceed to the graveyard, the mother, sisters and brothers leading the procession, chanting hideous songs, crying loudly and moaning weirdly. The father digs the grave. If the ground is very hard, he digs up another grave, takes out the bones, places the new coffin in the hole and throws theibones in on top. Burning grass is then waved over the grave and the person's clothes are rolled in a bundle and thrown in. VVhen the grave is covered over, half a sack of sand from the river is strewn on top, to make the journey to the Happy Hunting Ground easy. Over this sand they place a board covered with white, and thereon, build of choice sticks, a fire which they kindle for five nights. They believe the spirit will come back to the old haunts any time in five days and that this fire will ward him off. They then take a new basket and place in it a little of everything the family is eating, and burn one of these every day for five days. This is to pro- vide food for the spirit on its journey, for it is said to reach its journey's end in that length of time. If the grave is fenced in, clothes are hung over it on sticks. Years ago they punished people for molesting the grave or its decora- tions. One woman is said to have had an ear cut off for stealing clothes from a grave. The Indians are very superstitious about mentioning a dead person's name. They will not tell their children of the death of a brother or sister. Sometimes a child may quarrel with one of a different family and in anger tell him that he has a brother or sister dead. If he has not known it before, the old folks take up the quarrel and demand pay for mentioning the fact. Many years ago, one woman had her mouth cut from ear to ear for speak- ing ofthe dead. Of course such torture is not inflicted now. ALICE I-IAUGI-I, '14. Fifty-seven Qlbief Qlnnuskin Old ChiefrCoonskin sat sulkily before his tepee fire. The light of the blaze fell directly upon the bent form and withered features of his squaw as she moved about. The chief observed her coarse black hair mingled with gray, her deep-sunk eyes and her trembling hands, and his eyes darkened. He was greatly troubled. As he crouched there smoking and thinking, the first romance of his youth appeared before him like the film of a moving picture. He saw a young, stal- wart brave, the head of his tribe, taking part in the "Dance of the Gold Flower." He saw a maiden very shy and very beautiful whom he succeeded in carrying away to his wigwam. She was the central hgure in all his thoughts. She kept his wigwam always neat, the fire was always burning and he had never been troubled by any domestic burdens. His only duty was to provide the gameg she did the rest. His sons and daughters were now settled in wigwams of their own, and his squaw showed that she was old and worn out, a woman without a shred of the Winsome grace and beauty she had had when he first won her. He could not look at herg he was sick at heart. He sat and pondered, 'Why am I thinking so?'l and as if in answer to his thoughts a vision of a young and beautiful maiden from a hostile tribe seemed to take the place of his own old squaw. In a flash he understood he was tired of his old companion and wanted a new one, and the new one was the daugh- ter of the chief of the hostile tribe whom he had seen that day when he was out for a hunt. I For him, to desire meant to have. Getting the girl did not bother him, but what could he do with his old repulsive looking squaw? All night he sat there, the old woman coming occasionally to replenish the fire. By morning a plan had formed. He ate his breakfast in stolid silence. In Arcata, a very young and small town at the time, he knew of a hall'-breed Indian, who had inherited all the evils of both races. He was the man the old chief wanted. After obtaining a sufiicient supply of "fire water," he found his man and unfolded the das- tardly plan. He promised the young half-breed, after getting him crazy with drink, what seemed to be fabulous wealth if he would kill the old squaw. That seemed easy to a mind inliamed with liquor, so he promised to do the deed and the old chief went out to capture the maiden of his choice. The young half-breed, still fired by the promise of great wealth, struck off for the old chief's Wigwam, and on his way met the poor old squaw struggling under a load of provisions by far too heavy for her poor old body. Instantly he whipped out his bowie-knife, grabbed her by the hair, and with one awful stroke nearly severed her head from her body. She fell over a low fence and was found by the owner of the place three days later. The owner at once went to town and reported the matter to the authorities and the case was easily traced to the half-breed, who was overcome with horror, fear and remorse. He was tried and received a life sentence in the penitentiary where, a few years later, he died a most horrible death from smallpox. This was the first Indian that ever served a sentence for a crime in Humboldt. The old chief did not long enjoy the pleasures of his young love, for the youth in her craved youthful companions, and in a short time she eloped with a young brave. Again the old chief squatted before his wigwam. But the fire was out, his tepee sacked of all its treasures, and his old heart filled with remorse. He sat before the cold, dying embers and pondered. There the Great Spirit found him and took him to the Happy Hunting Grounds. . ' SUSIE ANDERSON, 'l4. Fifty-eight Sabian iegenbs ann Superstitions HOOPA INDIANS. Perhaps the oldest legend of the Hoopa Indians is of the first man whom they reverence as their father, but do not worship as a god. They say there were always "plenty women", then the man appeared, and stayed, first at one ranch and then another, until he visited all the ranches in the valley, after which he went up into the sky in fire. He now lives in the moon. A woman and a big snake also dwell in the moon. Sometimes the snake bites the woman, but never the man, sometimes the man gets angry and whips the woman. The Indians can tell when this occurs by picking green acorns and leaving them all night on the roof. If the man has been cruel, under the nuts there will be red stains caused by the blood from the Wounds of the woman. About two miles above Hoopa, on Trinity River, is the Sugar Bowl, a deep valley containing about forty acres. In the valley, near the river, pro- jecting about two feet out of the ground is a rock four feet long and two and a half feet wide, which is believed to contain the soul of an Indian who has power to make rain or stop it. No one knows why this particular rock was selected, for there are many similar ones near by. In the fall men are sent to appease this rain god, and after a ceremony lasting two or three days the rain comes, in the spring the rains are stopped in the same way. In olden times this was the occasion of a great religious ceremony, participated in by many men, but now two or three old men represent the tribe. If at any time an epidemic arises, it is because the rain god is ill, and the medicine men are sent to doctor the rock. If any one happens to harm the rock by knocking off the tiniest chip he is sure to die. ' On the Trinity River is a rocky bluff with the profile of a head which the Indians salute or pray to in passing. They do not pray to any god, but to nature, for instance, they pray to a rapid place in the river not to drown them, to the bluff not to fall on them, and to the lightning not to strike them. The Weitchpec legend of the origin of the skunk is that once upon a time the earth was so thickly populated that 'it became necessary to change some of the people into animals, and one man was so obnoxious to his com- panions that he was given a bad odor and called a skunk, that he migtht know forever how disagreeable he had been when human. 1 Once upon a time the eel and the sucker were great gamblers. The sucker always won until the eel was bankrupt, and had to give its bones to pay its debts, which is the reason why the eel is boneless and the sucker has so many bones. UPPER KLA MATH . These Indians have a legend of a Hood, which when it subsided left a man and a woman in a boat at the foot of a hill. They stood up and looked around them, and being hungry, the man told the woman to gather sticks and build a fire, while he went fishing. She cooked the fish he had caught and so the custom was established that the men fish and hunt and the women work. Fifty-nilzf' There is a legend that the Klamath Indians came from the north and found white people whom they called "Wangas," who taught them to make fish nets, baskets, and other utensils. After some years the "Wangas" went north, taking with them all who were half white or more, and all those who were Indian or half Indian remained. On the high point of the trail over which they passed are piles of stones placed there by them, which the Indians still worship, and every one that passes the spot replaces a fallen stone, thus keeping the monument in good repair. There is a rock on the Klamath that no woman is allowed to pass in a boat, the reason no man can tell, except that some great trouble might come to some one, so the women are landed just before they reach this rock, and walk past it, then embark again and proceed on their journey. On the upper Klamath, when the salmon season begins, two Indians are chosen to catch a salmon, eat part of it, and after making a fire with a big smoke, ceremoniously burn the rest of it. If any one else should look upon this he would go blind. The smoke is supposed to bring the salmon up river, and if they do not come, some person who has the devil in him has driven them away, and that person must be found and killed. They believe in a personal devil, but can not tell how he looks. Some- times he looks like an animal, or like a shadow, or a gust of wind. To illus- trate: One night at one end of I-Ioopa Valley, an Indian awoke and felt that the devil was near, so he ran out, as did the rest of the family, and shouted, "There he goes V' Then across the river at the next ranch the Indians were awakened, and they ran out, one calling, "I see him." So, zig-zagging back and forth across the river went the cry, from one end of the valley to the other. Most of the people had seen him, but no one could describe him. MAD RIVER INDIANS. They have a tale of a great Hood, with water everywhere, and a big boat with men and animals in it left on a mountain in Oregon. ' An old Mad River Indian told a Humboldt explorer that it was "shakey, shakey" for three days, then the peninsula came up. From this tribe comes the story that long, long ago there was a rock in the ocean, off the mouth of Mad River, where they went to gather mussels, but during the earthquake it disappeared and they always watch the spot, expecting its reappearance. Near the 'mouth of Mad River is a lagoon into which once upon a time a chief plunged to take a bath after leaving the sweat-house, as is their cus- tom. He never came up, and from that time on, the place was avoided as haunted. It was never again used by the Indians for bathing, and although the fish are plentiful there, none will fish in the lake.

PYTHAGOREAN DEBATING SOCIETY. The Society was organized by the Freshmen and Seniors for the purpose of gaining a widen knowledge of important topics of the day. The debates are also held the first Tuesday of every month. Seniors. The members of the class of 1913 who during their years in A. U. H. S. have been enthusiasts in athletics, debates, and other activities, are leaving a great Senior year behind them. The Student Body President is always chosen from the Senior class, and other important offices have been filled by them. The boys on the Tennis team were Seniors, with the exception of one. The Senior boys also greatly strengthened the football team. L. B. Graham was one of the three debaters in the Inter-Scholastic Debate held April 19, 1913.

Between acts the "High School Glee Club" favored the audience with two songs, and just before the curtain went up, a mixed quartette sur- prised everyone with an exceptionally well rendered selection. 'Crawford's orchestra pealed forth the airs for dancing, and until after midnight many tripped the light fantastic.

It was well received, as was the dance which fol- lowed: Crawfordls Orchestra furnished the music. Debating JQHN BARTER. LESLEY GRAHAM EUNICE ENGLE. As the years pass by we begin to look upon debating as one of the essentials of school life. It is of great benefit to all students in so much as it gives one the opportunity of learning to speak clearly and correctly and becoming familiar with the greatest questions of the day and age. In addi- tion to the development of self-possession and confidence, occasional debates break the monotony of school work. To this end We have three separate societies. "The Associated Student Body" meets the last Friday of every month. Many interesting subjects have been discussed during the past year and the presence of parents and friends has encouraged the students to greater efforts in their work. The Uphippa Debating Society, composed of the Sophomores and Juniors, holds its meetings once a month. The Pythagorean Society, organ- ized by the Freshmen and Seniors, also meets once a month. The Inter-High School debate held annually by the four high schools of the county took place on the evening of April 19th. The following ques- tion, "Resolved, That the Philippines should be given their independence with- in ten years," was debated with Ferndale. Arcata had the affirmative, which was ably upheld by John Barter, Eunice Engle, and Lesley Graham. The judges, J. H. Blake of Arcata, Robert Bugbee of Ferndale, and Charles Gar- rett of Grizzly Bluff, awarded the decision to Arcata.

Once more the time for reviewing High School publications has rolled round, and the exchange editor finds he has on his hands a task by no means small. It is a comparatively easy matter to read other annuals, and to ap- prove or disapprove of them in one's own mind, but when it comes to putting conclusions down in black and white, the matter resolves itself into some- thing quite diflicult. It is a case of give and take, however, and the editor hopes his suggestions will be accepted in the spirit offered, that all adverse criticism will not be misunderstood. It is true that the truth sometimes hurts-but Emerson says, "Know thyself," and how better know oneself than by the reflection of someone else's thought. To know one's faults is to guard against further mistakes. The editor realizes he is not infallible, but "if the shoe fits, put it on" and profit by it. So, "I-Iere's to you," Exchanges. In general I would criticise the use of "rice-paper" and the placing of advertisements on the covers. It might be suggested that a front page be devoted to the "In memoriamf' "Redwood Chips," Del Norte, Cal-I would approve your annual if you would put your photographs in their respective departments, instead of in- discriminately scattering them through the stories. "The Search Light,', San Rafael, Cal.-Your book is one of our best. No criticisms. "The Reviewf' Santa Maria, Cal.-Your stories are exceptionally well written. Improve your art. "The Enterprisef' Petaluma, Cal.-Your joshes are very interesting. Aside from general criticisms your paper is excellent. "Green and Gold," Tuolumne, Cal.--You have no cuts. Different colored paper would be an improvement. "The Cogswell," San Francisco, Cal.-"Menzer,s Revenge," in the Sep- tember number, is a remarkable story. A few cuts would greatly add to your paper. "The Review," Sacramento, Cal.-The Freshman number shows work. We hope to hear from you again. Seventy "Tomahawk," Ferndale, Cal.-Your book is neatly arranged. Keep on with your art, for it makes your book attractive. "Sequoia," Eureka, Cal.-Congratulations on your neat cover design. You are deficient in art. Aside from this your book is excellent. "The Totem," Juneau, Alaska.-Your book is attractive and instructive. Why not have separate departments for your material. We hope to hear from you again. "VVilmerding Life,', San Francisco, Cal.-Your December number is ex- cellent for a quarterly. You startle us with your pretty cover design, but why spoil it with Mads." "The Chanticleer," Dixon, Cal.-Your book is well arranged and attract- ive. Give a new story a new page. "The Analy," Sebastopol, Cal.-Why not put your "Class Advisor" with the rest of the faculty and not with the seniors. Your exchange is very good. "Naponee," Napa, Cal.-Your cover design is well gotten up. A few more cuts would add greatly to your paper. Your stories are humorous. Call again. "The Gondolierf' Vol I, Venice Polytechnic High School. Your book is remarkable for its quality. I suggest, however, that you put the faculty pictures at the front. g Vol. II Cof the samej.-Volume II does not contain as good material as Volume I. It is incomplete in almost every department. "Searchlight," San Rafael, Cal.-iYour Christmas number is excellent. We have no criticism to offer. "Polytechnic," San Francisco, Cal.-Where did you come from? We had to look in the advertisements to find you. Put all stories in the Literary Department. The "Language Department" is an addition to your book. "Far Darter," St. Helena, Cal.-Do not run jokes together, but keep them separate, for it is hard to follow them. Your cover design is not very artistic but as a whole your paper is interesting.

The Arcata boys took no interest in this event and did but little training for it. The meet was held in Eureka on Qctober l9th. Eureka came out victorious. Ferndale second, and Fortuna Third. nothall I Football practice started early in the season with but three players left from the former champions. These went to the back-field, and our line was composed of new players entirely. All practiced faithfully and formed a solid defense against their opponents. As the backs were light, a good many trick plays were used to advantage in the games. ARCATA VS. EUREKA. ' The first football game was played against the Eureka High School eleven at Arcata on November 16th. Eureka was easily defeated by a score of 7 to 0. Arcata made the touchdown in the first five minutes of play. The score was prevented from being larger, only because our team too often paid the penalty for off-side plays at critical moments in the game. Eureka was able to advance the ball but little against our defense, and never succeeded in getting closer to our goal-posts than the forty yard-line. . The line-up of the teams was as follows: Arcata- Eureka- VV. Peters. . . ..... C. . . ..... .Roberts C. Carlson ..... ..... R . G. .... Langford T. VVright ..... ..... L . G. . . . ...... .Lane E. Morrell ..... ..... R . T. . . . .... Connick W. Carlson .... ..... L . T. . . . .... Acorn A. Carrol .... ........Melendy V.Hunt ................, .........LeBeau M.

Quinn On the following Saturday a meeting of the Executive Committee was held in Eureka and one of our veterans, Milton Wright, was ruled out of athletics on a sham charge of professionalism. As the President of the League did not call the meeting, Arcata refused to recognize this action. Ferndale refused our offer to play them with our regular team at that place' and the championship was left undecided. Seventy-six f- If v T -4 A If T' T' 77 P V -- 5 5 bd f UE y M 4 Bdikftzhau Although the girls did not win the championship in basket-ball this year they succeeded in developing one of the fastest teams the school has ever had. The girls were coached by Miss Asher and if they did not bring victory to the school, it was certainly not due to lack of practice. Two practice games were played with Fortuna, and in both the Arcata girls were victorious. ARCATA VS. EUREKA. The preliminary basket-ball game was palyed at Arcata, against the Eureka team on November 16th. The Eureka girls started the game with a rush and in the first half our team did not make use of the team-work it had shown in previous games. At the end of the First half the score stood 14 to 3 in Eureka's favor. In the second half, however, Arcata went in to win, and patronized the Eureka goal more than she did at the beginning. Eureka's lead was too great to overcome, however, and the whistle blew with Arcata still behind in a score of 19 to 14. The teams were composed of the following players: Eureka. Forwards- Harlene Copsey. Gertrude Soules. Mildred Healey. Centers- Lucy Matthews Ruth Swanson. Zoa Hodgson. Guards- Doris Sinclair. Grace Mulford. Dea Witherall. CCaptainj. Arcata.

May 3rd-Arcata vs. Eureka, at Eureka. ,May 10th-Arcata vs. Ferndale, at Arcata. That Arcata. High has a strong aggregation of ball-players this year has been proved in the numerous practice games played early in the season. Out of six practice games, so far, they have been defeated but once. Both the infield and the outfield have shown up fast, and are supported by the same old reliable battery. Seventy-eight li.XSKIC'l1I!.Xl4T, TE ILXSEISALL TEAM. The first game of baseball was played at Arcata on April 26th, between Arcata and Fortuna. The game was closely contested to the last, but the Arcata team came out victorious by a score of three to one. Two more games are yet to be played, one with Ferndale and one with Eureka, before the championship can be decided. Captain Milton Wright picked the following players for his team: Loftus Gray CC.j Gillis Courtright C3 BQ Chester Carlson CPJ Ross Sutherland CS. SJ Charles Mahoney Q1 BQ Chester Morrell QL. Emmett Mahoney C2 BJ Joe Crawford QC. FQ Walter Carlson CR. FQ Substitutes-Thomas Leavey and Theodore W'estdin. i-- Tennis ' Practice for the tennis tournament was delayed until rather late this year on account of the repairing of the tennis-court. Gnly three veterans from last yearls champions were out this year. The team, however, made good use of the short time they had for practice, and again hold the championship. ARCATA VS. FERNDALE. The first meet was held at Ferndale on April 19th. This was won by the Arcata team, which took the necessary three out of five events. ' The first event, girl's singles, was played in the morning, Ruth Horel defeating Harriet Gries after a hard-fought contest. The score was 8-6, 6-4. In the afternoon, Alice Haugh and Laura Myers defeated Abbie Cruick- shank and Ida Noble, in girls' doubles, by a score of 7-5, 6-4. In mixed doubles, Leland Nielsen and Cecil Haywood of Ferndale de- feated Gillis Courtright and Ceva Sapp by a score of 6-2, 6-4. In boys' doubles, Robert Damon and Reese Cruickshank of Ferndale defeated Loftus Gray and Charles Mahoney by a score of 7-5, 6-4. As each team now had two events to its credit, the victory in the tour- nament depended upon the winner of boys, singles. Our regular player in singles was sick at this time, so his place was taken by Ross Sutherland. With only a few days' practice, he went into the contest, and after a plucky fight, defeated Chester Johnson, Ferndale's crack player, by a score of 6-2, 2-6, 6-2, thus giving Arcata the victory. ARCATA VS. EUREKA. I As the Eureka tennis team defeated Fortuna, Arcata and Eureka played for the league championship on May 3rd. Arcata took every event and with them the championship.

There's something on my breast, Susie, There's something on -my heart, It's not that Latin's hard, Susie, It's not that we must part.
