Again we crossed the sea, and caught a glimpse of Jamie, who was head of the Florida Lumber Trust, having made a great success in this line. My thoughts turned to Maurice, and my guide, guessing what was in my mind, said: “Now we will have a little excitement.” The shrill sound of the referee’s whistle again thrill me, as in the old school days, and before us were the teams of Pennsylvania and New York, playing for the championship of the United States. The crowd was cheering wildly, for the score was tied, and only one minute before the final whistle. Every man was doing his best, and both teams worked like well oiled machinery. The right guard for Penn State was doing especially fine work, breaking up the play every time the struggled eddied to his end of the floor. The refeiee s whistle shrilled. “Pennsylvania out.” Quickly the right guard snapped the ball back into play, but not too quickly for me to recognize our old C. H. S. star Maurice. From that instant my very soul was in the game forty-five seconds to play.

A guard barred the way, but too late, for the ball rose in a perfect arc and swished gently through the net.

I rebelled at this and essayed to speak, but he held up a warning finger and proceeded: “Elna is now a successful teacher of language at Smith College for Women. Ethelbert, having invented a tractor, organized a company and became its head. Olivia has made a phenomenal success as an elocutionist, and is at present traveling with the Redpath Chautauqua.
