Toward one of these, two men hastened one November afternoon about four o'clock. Eduard Burns and Williani Swift had been quail hunting with G ,- fine luck until a heavy storm drove them to this shelter. I never expected to see it rain today said Burns throwing 1 f down his heavy game bag and standing his Parker in '1 corner. x : YL v ll 14 -4 , L '4 5 ll .5 ,H K Y UNO, neither did I, returned Swift, but its hard to judge the weather at this ti HGee, this is adandy big tire-place. At any rate we can keep warm until the storm passes. 92330 'U -uh b ' I Ng, Q i m 1159- us Q :T 5 S Q S 2 5 S at 5 S 9 2 an .

looking like this. just pipe yourself in that mirror opposite, and Larry here, well ' and Dick burst into a it of uncontrollable laughter. HI don't see that it's anything to laugh about, pouted Jan. 'iOf course, said Dick, trying to straighten up his face, 'iit's up to you, but really I wouldn't go if I were you. - HI don't want to go one blessed bit now anyway. Do you Larry? Why, just as you say, lan, of coursef, Larry looked the picture of misery as he stood, gazing ruefully at the dainty slipper which he still clutched. ' V i' Oh, Larry, how'd you like staying home, and toasting marshmallows? she burst out inipulsively, Hand we' ll build a big fire in thee--H Bully,', he interrupted, grinning for the first time as he thought of not losing the evening's fun, that's what we' ll do. The clock struck nine and Dick picked up his overcoat and gazed at it in mock tragedy. Poor thing! and to think that you were the cause of all this trouble. But I must be off. I'm late now. Don't you children be bad again, or I'll have to report you, he called over his shoulder as he strode toward the door. Don't you worry, laughed back Jan, throwing a kiss at him as she closed the door, then turning toward Larry she said, Well, our little plan failed, didn't it, but 'the best laid plans oy mice an' men gang aft' a-gley,' so now for the marshmallows. LETA BOLTON, '08, Dusk. The tremulous gray of the dusk, A last, late, crimson rose, A brilliant, flaming, burning west, And darkness deeper grows. A night hawk sweeps the dim expanse, Soft sighs the evening breeze, The red light sparkling in the west Is ashen in the trees. The purple shadows creep along, And hover like a pall, Then die out with the fading light: Now night rules over all. PAGE SIXTEEN O 5,

There is nothing here, said he to himself. He turned his head. Ugh! There it was! A chill came over him but he did not move. The candle threw enough light so he could just see the yellow, bony face. It was a skull. He moved closer. Yes, he could see now. From under some old rags protruded the bones of an arm and leg. He was no longer afraid, but approached the form which was in a sitting posture against some wood. Swift saw an old piece of paper inside the lining of what had been a coat, and tearing this out, he saw on it a queer looking diagram. At first he could not make it out, but on closer in- spection he saw that it represented a room. It had the same shape as the very cellar he was in and there was a cross marking the position ofa small pile of stones near the wall. He hastened up the ladder to tell Burns and found him with his foot on the window sill, ready to jump out. 'iWhat are you doing there? laughed Swift. HThat is no ghost. lt's the skeleton of a man. I found this paper and it must mean something. Come on, quick, we'll go down and see what it is. When Burns heard this, his courage returned and together they once more descended the ladder. , HNow,'l began Swift,l'this diagram seems to conform to the shape of this cellar, and the cross seems intended to mark the position of that pile of stones. There must be something under them or I miss my guess. HWell, let's see what it is. They fell to work taking the stones away and when they had completed this task they saw what seemed to be an old board. They tried to lift it, but it was solid. Swift brushed away the dirt and saw that it was fastened with an old lock. HWe'll soon settle that, muttered he, hammering at it with a rock. There she goes. VVhen the lock had been broken, he lifted the board and saw there was a hole under it. 'iHold the candle closer, he said, peering into the hole. UHoly smoke, look here! Burns fell all over himself getting down to see what it was. i'What luck,'l gasped he, with his eyes popping out of his head. During the remainder of the night the hunters sat by the fire counting out piles of yellow coin, while the storm raged unheeded through the trees without. HAROLD J.
