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.

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.

Rivals. Sophomore Story. was a lovely summer day and the four college girls coming across the campus from the tennis court had been making good use of it. i'Let's see, Marion, weren't you and Margaret Randolph good friends when you went to high? questioned Stella Hill of her companion. Marion half resented the question but answered carelessly, nm El g T E349 i'Yes, I suppose that's what you'd call us. MVVell, continued Stella, Hwhy don't you chum with her now? VVhen- ever she joins us you disappear and o11e can tell by her look that it hurts her. One of the other girls who knew of Stellals habit of thoughtlessly asking embarrassing questions, prevented Marion from answering this one by challeng- ing the rest to a race, which Stella, always ready for a frolic of any kind, imme- diately started. When passing through the hall i11 the dormitory they noticed that the door of Margaret's room was open as though she had just gone out, and, as they were welcome there at any time, two of the girls walked i11. Stella lingered in the hope of obtaining another opportunity of putting her question to Marion, but the latter made a hasty retreat to her own room across the hall. Stella, proceeding to join the others in Margaret's room, was greeted with: Now, Inquisitive, you haven't received an answer to your trouble- some question yet, have you? No, I haven't, but I will, presisted Stella. Maimie. she coaxed, go- ing up to one of the girls, you know. Won't you tell me? HI suppose I must in order to stop your waylaying Marion again. Helping herself to a piece of fudge from a dish on the table, Maimie told how Margaret Randolph and Marion Lawrence had both worked for a prize in high school and how Margaret had come off victor. Ever since Marion had acted distant with Margaret and in college a sort of rivalry had sprung up between them in all their classes. Now, as it was near the end of the term, Marion was acting worse than ever. VVhen this recital was finished Stella burst out, I tell you, girls, its pure jealousy. If I were Margaretfu HVVhat would you do? interrupted Margaret, as she came into the room, her eyes red with weeping. 'Id'-why, Marg Randolph! Where have you been and what's the matter with your eyes? HI have bee11 for a walk to the post-oflice, Stella, but I didn't know there was anything wrong with my eyesfl replied Margaret. Now, now! Own up, Missy. HWell, the truth is, girls, Ilm going home for a spell. HGoing home! and what for, pray?l' PAGE NINETEEN 'P A .J- Efe, -- Si, l ,.,, ii ,.. lilill ly ll 1'illlllllll 5 ll.Ja.,lil ,lull liamg. iw I V 2:'. 5 'Z V 'QE lil- 'I ,' , iffiilf l' 'll H35 i. li llldllil lull ll wliif .l all l lf ll all l lil lflll lrswflll llll ll Y lv mit. ft-all ' if ill ll ' L- .l -fl f ll? wlltillz lf il -fi - fl-My -.l. 1 ' i ' ,.',.' -s wg , ,Ml I ,, . l,1 1-., ' J ,lf wll, ulll 'l'llliwl'4liEill1 n HM, l.Li?-Wil, I l ,5:4,l,v -lo ' , ln lun! . - ' . , - ' s-- f fl . - ' ' - .I 'JI' RW, , I I' l A U ff- ' L'- lf Q Q F99 ggges-S nl..- - .T .g is , P . llx will ,. il , W ll l l l -... ,.-,, ,-
