GONE No ONE knew who had taken Miss Augur’s dessert. It had been a fleecy lemon pie, just lightly browned on top when it appeared from the kitchen and was placed in front of her. Then it disappeared. Of course it had no name tape, and thus was too difficult to find. Shortly after this a student's toy cat with electric eyes was among the missing. Once more there was no name tape, so what could be done about it? Then there was a sudden shortage of silver in the dining room, and every single thumb tack from the Bulletin Board disappeared, two or three of which were found in very odd places. That was the end, the “straw that broke the camel’s back.” Our despondent faculty congealed into one of diose mysterious faculty meetings. “Members of the faculty,” said the chairman, “you all know too well what we are here to discuss this evening.” They wisely nodded their heads and looked even more solemn. “Yes, indeed, we know.” I have asked Senator Bret Rutler, who is visiting us from Alabama, to say a few words. Senator?” “Deah members of the Faculty,” said he in a soft Southern voice. “A1» realize how this pre- sent catastrophe has affected you all, and ah do wish ah could do something to aid you and thank you all for the pleasure of visiting your beautiful school. Everybody has been so kind co me, and your girls do nave such takin’ ways. Ah do think ...” He was interrupted by a knock. Come in.” “Madam Chairman,” gasped a boarder, much overcome by the solemnity of the room, “some- thing awful has happened in the art room.” “Yes, what is it?” “The wall is gone!” “Wall gone? Such nonsense. Come, what do you mean? First diere were just a few bricks missing from the corner, and when I came back from dinner, the whole wall was gone!” The faculty solemnly marched over to verify the statement. Not only one wall, but all four were missing. “Yes, indeed,” said the faculty, “we knew it was serious. They filed back to their silent room to study the mystery. They were all ouiet and thoughtful except Senator Rutler who seemed to have misplaced his watch. A knock was heard at the door. “Come in.” Madam Chairman,” said the same over-awed-boarder, “something awful has happened in the dorm!” “Yes, what is it?” “The walls are gone! “The walls gone? Such nonsense. Come. We shall see.” “Yes, indeed, said the faculty wisely nodding their heads and looking even more solemn, “we knew it was serious.” They marched to the dormitory and found it was no more. Precisely at eight the next morning, Kingswood's first sleepy day student drove in the gate, and as she was indulging in a last sleepy yawn her half closed eyes flew open with surprise; she clutched the cold steering wheel and closed her mouth with a snap. There lay Kingswood’s beautiful grounds . . . but no school! Every single brick and stone was gone, with just one exception. The walls of the faculty room gleamed triumphantly through the dawn, and around the tables sat the faculty. Yes, indeed, said the faculty, wisely nodding their heads, and looking even more solemn, We knew it was serious.” Ada Ward
