It was nine months after commencement, And I was reading in a cool shady nook, When a little bird flew down, as if God sent, Which made me forget my book. The little bird said, in a small chirping voice, “Young man, what makes you so sad? Pll grant you your wish, no matter the choice. If you'll only speak wp, my lad.” At first, I acted as if the cat had my tongue For not a word did I say; But, conquering myself, I fairly sung, “Tell me of my classmates, | pray.” Then up spake the bird, in its very queer wav. “Tl grant you your wish at once; But not a word must you say, When I am doing my stunts.” He scampered, squealed, and jumped like a mouse, And tore around as if in a rage. All of a sudden—I was seated in an opera house Facing a magnificent stage. GEASS en Ob mnGy EVERETT HONEY CUTT A familiar voice came from the front, Which sounded very sweet and charming; And not in forgotten memories did 1 hunt, In remembering Miss Helen Whiting. The scene changed to a school room, Where everybody appeared to be in a hustle; For at the teacher's desk did loom, The dear face of Ruby Russell. Next [entered the library at Madera. Selecting a chair, I sat down. On glancing around, I received a scare— For there at the desk sat Marie Brown. My attention was called to a book. lately printed, All bound in red and entitled, “The Hun,” On reading the author’s name—my ! but I squinted For it read, “By Elizabeth Washington.” From there, southward I went, To Mexico, the land of the sun, I visited the new President, Known as H. Wilkinson. Back to the dear old home town I was carried, Only to be knocked off my feet in surprise. For Miss Edith How had long since been married. To one of Madera’s prominent cement guys. From there I was whirled to a foreign land. And seated in a famous artist’s studio. She stood before the canvas, easel in hand. And looked for the world like Grace Crow. Next it was a scene in England, And a parade for “the Women who Work” At the head of the procession, in front of the band, Was our new member, Miss Stella Turk. From there I visited a logging camp. And, to my amazement, I found myself head cook; But. at that moment, I was awakened by a cramp, And found that IT had my feet in the brook.

The lad. for be was only a boy yet, hesitated for a mo- nent: then, shouldering his musket, he turned away, fur- ively brushing his coatsleeve across his eves. He walked or swiftly, not trusting himself to look back even once un- til he came to the summit of the mountain and saw be- Fove him the path that led—he knew not where. For it micht be Life and—it might be Death! There he paused and looked a last silent farewell to his old home. The sun was just rising and seemed the gate to Paradise as it flooded the little valley with its golden splendor. The little crystal streams running ever on. through soft fields and meadows, unmindful of the destinies of men, were like bands of silver on waves of emerald. In their midst stood a little log cabin covered with roses that clambered over the porch, and even onto the roof. His home! On the step was his mother, seeming so tiny, so pitifully fragile. and watching him with a face that, could he but have seen it. would have wrung his very soul, for it was the terrible agony, the heartbreaking look of a mother who watches her son walk on to probable Death, while she stands back. alone, unable to help. The boy’s eyes filled and, turming quickly, he went on. eraye and sorrowful for a while but gradually forgetting 19 ‘the future; for such is the wisdom ink only of the great war in which a part; he seemed to see the low p; he could almost hear the roar ighing of horses and the terse com- all and dreaming only o of youth.

She watched dimmed eyes until he became o that slowly faded from view. Then she went into the cabin, that now seemed so pitifully forlorn, her bent should- ers shaking with sobs, while tears coursed down her thin furrowed cheeks. She pulled a little black hair cloth trunk out of a corner, opened it and took out a tiny bundle, faded, and yellowed with age. Sitting down, she opened it, and out fell a golden curl of hair that she caught up pas- sionately and kissed again and again. As she did so, the present seemed to fade and vanish with sorrow as a rose- leaf crumbles with age, and she saw again her baby boy be- fore her. She saw the sturdy little figure with its golden curls and large appealing brown eyes come nearer and nearer, until the baby lips seemed to say, “JT Jove you, muver, I love you.” She clasped it to her but it vanished and in its stead was an older boy, different and yet the same. The golden curls were gone and in their stead was soft brown hair; the baby grace, too, had left, and the lad seemed strangely awkward and clumsy. But the eyes were the same appeal- ing brown ones, and the mouth, finely cut and determined, even then still framed the words, “T love you, mater, T lave you.” Then he, too, vanished and another lad, now her soldier boy, appeared. The boy was almost a man, tall, handsome, graceful, with brown eyes, gleaming with fun, and head thrown bravely hack; yet, the strong firm lips still seemed to say, “I love you, mother, I love you.” The | woman stretched out her arms — long- ingly, “Oh, Gene,’ she sobbed, “wasn’t it en- ough that your father = gave his life: do they need even a poor widow’s all? Tf they do, I'll bear it bravely, son, but it’s hard, hard, with nothing to do but wait. But VIL pray laddie, Vl pray every mght for God to bring you home safely to me. Oh, my son! my son!” And so she sobbed on, dreaming only of the past, for such is the wisdom of age. It was midnight and all seemed peaceful in the Rebel Camp. The soft rays of the moon crept in and out through the heavy foliage of the trees and lit up the si- lent scene, showine here and there the form of a weary sentinel tramping up and down his lonesome beat. The only light in the camp came from a little tent in which the boy sat writine to his mother. He was chaneed, ah yes! for the eager lad of two years ago who had entered he army so confidently. so sure of success. was now a man. just a little tired. and just a little discouraged. THis face was thin and worn, his eves were no longer softly appeal- ing; instead, they were hard and stern. while there were ines on his face that should not have been there for ten years yet, at least. He wore the ensien of a captain and, if the truth were told. many expected to see him a najor before two months had passed. so much renown had his constant bravery won him. As he sat writing, his face softened and once a bright tear fell and glimmered in the lamplight. Suddenly, he became aware that there was someone else in the room and ty turning quickly, saw a corporal standing in the doorway of the tent. “General Long requests the presence of Cap- tain Morley at once,’ same the short message. The boy pushed his papers quickly aside and in a few moments stood before his commander, “Captain Morley,” the old man said, “I have received news that makes it necessary for me to send a message to General Lee at once. I want you to take it. To reach his camp, you will have to go directly through the Federal ines, so I have secured a Federal uniform for you and the aper’s necessary to your carrying out the disguise of Lieu- enant Camp, United States Army. You are to say you laye a message for General Grant and T think you can manage to slip through. Now T want vou to tell Lee that Pickford is planning to attack Charleston and will reach here on the fifteenth. Lee will know what to do. Your iniform is in the adjoining room and T want vou to leave at once.” The Boy went into the next room and in a few moments reappeared, clad in the likeness of a Federal lieutenant. and announced himself ready. The General handed over he papers and. for the first time in his life. muttered a rusque, “God bless you.” Jt might have been a thought wave for hundreds of miles away at that very moment a vowed and bent little widow was saving, “Oh God, bless mv bov. The Boy mounted his horse and after carefully guiding un through the ranks of sleeping men, was soon gallop- ing down the dark road. All the rest of the night and all he next morning, he rode, stopping only to allow his horse 0 slake his thirst at some stream or river. Late that afternoon, he came in sight of the Federal camp. Tis heart beat quickly and he offered to God a ervent prayer for his safety until he had the message Then, bracing up, he rode bravely forward wn- delivered, A mere lad Lieutenant rants head- he reached the outermost line of pickets. came forward and the Boy stated that he was Camp of the United States Army bound for G quarters with a very important message. The picket nod- ded acquiescence and the boy went on, passing the vest of the guards with the same results, and wa himself on his success when he came his cousin! There had been an old feud between himself cousin which had been greatly intensified when joined the Southern, or Rebel eee as his cousin, by name, contemptuously called i Yankee. The Boy was undecided as to what to do for, ane would betray him, he had no doubt. Brown, eoing up to the Boy with an insolent leer said, “Well, what’re vou doing here? Ain’t the Rebs good enough for you any more or are vou turning bat, eh 2?” The Bov’s eves flashed as he answered with his _ soft Southern drawl. “Ah bee youah pahdon Ah don’t Inow vou and Ah don’t want to! me to pass foah Ah must be on mah wav at once.” Brown grinned, “Oh! so that’s the game is it? Well, we'll see!

So he turned to the corporal. who had leaped forward at Brown’s words and had grasped ee sad if rein of the Bovy’s horse, and said, “ This officah has evidently mistaken me foah someone Ah’m Lieutenant Camp of the United States Ahmy and am bound fouh General Grant’s head- quarters with a very important message. Ah’ve mah pa- pahs in mah pocket, suh !” hesitated and elanced around. to trv and escane now. already drawing near. No else. “ters a liar! dirty, lying Reb!” It was too much for the Boy. Leaping down from his saddle, his eyes flashing, he sprang at his cousin and dealt lim a blow on the jaw that knocked him flat. hen, turn- ing to the corporal, he said politely, “Ahm ready to yelled Brown, ‘Don’t I know he’s a go vefoah youah General. Ah can satisfy him, Ah think, as o the truthfulness of mah statements.” “Very well,” was the crisp reply and turning, the cor- oral led the way to the General’s headquarters. The General was a tall, grave man, with sorrow, and yet h e carr vespoke command. He words and then askec came at once only too whose eyes were filled ed himself with a dignity that listened closely to the corporal’s for Brown to be sent for. Brown eager to testify against the Boy. He old the general that Boy’s real name was Captain Morley, hat he was an officer in the Rebel army, and his own cousin. At those words, the General glanced quickly at the the other so little and nar- and remarked dryly that no would have thought it. Then he dismissed Brown, and, urning to the Boy, said gravely, “The charge against you is very conclusive, Lieutenant Camp, and, though Tam, I think T shall have to detain you pending an in- vestigation.” The Boy listened |] further words wo men, one so tall and manly, row both in body and mind. one Sorry 10} elessly were useless. he knew and vet, if the G eneral investigated the matter at all, he would soon find sufficient evidence to hang him as a spy. But he said nothing and hopelessly submitted to being led away and placed in a tiny jail like room under guard. As soon as he was left alone, he glanced around the room. searching for a way in which to escape. But no chance showed itself! The only window was a little barred affair, far too small for him to get through, even if he could have broken the bars. Well, there was nothing to be done and, as it was already dark. he might as well avail himself of the opportunity to get some sleep. So he lay down on the ground, for there was neither bed nor floor in the room, and tried to forget his troubles in rest. But he could not! Foolish idea for escape kept crowding into hi. head and he moved restlessly. Suddenly, the dirt beneath him fell in and, jumping up, he began to dig rapidly, for he had heard of under- ground tunnels and this mieht be one. Sure enough, it was a tunnel. The Boy stood up, his eyes shining—for surely he would be able to escape now! Lying flat on the ground, he began to wiggle along through the hole. It was barely large enough and the air almost stifled him. But still he kept on. Farther and farther he went and then—a glim- mer of light ahead! Slowly, fearfully, he poked his head out of the hole and glanced around. All was quiet! Quickly he dragged him- self out and looked around. He could see no one; but hark a footstep! Nearer and nearer it came and soon the Boy could discern the form of a soldier in the Federal uni- His heart almost stopped beating and he lay flat on the ground. The soldier was almost there, a moment more and he would be discovered. But no! the fellow passed on, so near the Boy could easily have reached out and touched him. At last—he was gone! Fainter and fainter grew the footsteps, finally dying away in the distance. The Boy heaved a great sigh of relief. Jumping up, he crept on all fours to some nearby horses, took hold of one and carefully led it to the open road. There he mounted and rode for dear life. Faster and fast- er he went. for it was only forty miles to Lee’s camp. But what was that sound? Louder and louder it grew __the sound of a horse’s hoof! His escape had been discov- ered and he was being pursued! He leaned far over his horse and whispered to her, “Go it, girlie, go it! They'll form. 4a suah kill us if they get us. On and on he went but h is pursuers sounds were ever erowing louder. Looking back, he could see the faint fieure coming up the dark, lonely road. He spurred his horse, he must escape, he must, he must! Then he saw the Federal draw out a gum and “Bang! The Boy felt a sting go through his shoulder! “Bang!” Another went through his side! A strange warmth seemed to spread over his body. He drew out his revolver, his pur- suer was now almost upon him, and, with a desperate ef- fort, he took aim and fired. His mark went home! The man fell from his saddle—dead ! The Boy spurred his horse, he must go faster, he must vet his message to Lee! On and on he went, only thirty miles more. How weak he felt! He could hardly sit up. But only twenty miles more now. What made his saddle feel so wet and slippery? He put his hand on it, then quickly drew it back, red with blood in the waning light of the moon. It was almost morning but only five miles more! At last! Before him lay the Rebel camp. “Fastah! Oh fastah! my Beauty!” he whispered to the horse for he felt so faint and weak. Everything seemed to be going around. He could not even sit up, it seemed as though he were going to fall-off his horse. last, and surely, ves, that was Lee. Ah! he was there at i icure that he could distinguish any- that tall commanding where. He ureed his horse on through — the soldiers, who gazed at him as a specter from the eraye. and, reaching Lee, he tried to give him the message. But he could not speak. What was the matter? His voice seemed faint and far- away as he gasped, “The Feds—are go—ing to take Charleston—on the—fifteenth !” He made one last effort to retain his seat but in vain. He could not. He opened his mouth to speak again but fell from the saddle. Lee sprang to him, felt his heart, his pulse, then his eyes filled with tears and he turned to the surrounding soldiers. “It’s no use, lads. He’s gone to a land where all is peace. Get a stretcher and we'll carry him to my headquarters. Left alone, he gazed at the silent form of the tall manly lad, the soft brown hair. that a mother’s lips had so often kissed, clung in soft tendrils to his forehead. On the face was a look of sublime peace and the eyes were closed for the sleep that knows no waking. “Oh God, God! What a price. What a price to pay for only a few black slaves.” Lee’s shoulders shook with sobs as he gazed at the lad, once the pride of a mother’s heart, lying so silent and still. That night the moon shone on a new made grave and hundreds of miles away, on a bowed and bent old widow who knelt by the window praying to God to bless her son. The weary world in ‘T'wilight’s arms is Gently lulled to rest, The dying sun goes down beyond the Snow-clad mountain crest ; The silv’ry wavelets on the lake all Sparkle neath her glow; The mountain crests all glisten in Their garments white of snow. The little birds have hushed their songs, The pines and fires make sillouettes The flowers close their eyes; The universe thinks not of wrongs. In Slumber’s realm she lies. And in the azure vault alone, the Twinkling stars burst thin; And now, the majestic moon appears, Clad in silvery hue. And as she pauses in the sky, A sentinel she seems; And the reposing universe, she Bathes in soft moonbeams. Again st the bright hillside; And not a thing the moon forgets, for Thev are all her pride. And all night long the moon will watch Until relieved by Dawn; all The twinkling stars with her will croon The little slumber song: And Earth will dwell, and dream, and rest. In Nodland’s mystic glade, ‘Till Wakened by Dawn’s light caress, And then, the moon will fade. And like the earth. we slumber too, Forget our cares and woes, While God, his watch doth ever keep, Upon us all below. And with the Dawn we, too, awake, To greet the newborn dav! The moon and God will watch o’er us. Forever, and for aye. “] think that is a shame! did that,” said Jack. “Tm just as much puzzled as you are,” replied Bob, with a troubled look. “I can’t understand why he does it. I am doing well in all of my studies and athletics do not interfere with them.” 1 don’t see why your father “Yes, it would be different if you were poor in your studies, but you get next to the highest in your class. I don’t see any reason why he should forbid you to take part in a thletics,” exclaimed another boy. The speakers were some of the best players on the base- ball team of the Bennington school. Bob Stuart had just received a letter from his father in which he was for- bidden to take part in athletics any more, as his father was afraid they might interfere with his studies. Bob was the pitcher for the Bennington school and was feared by all rival teams. The Bennington school was to play the West- chester school, an old rival, the next day and each schoo! was anxious to be victorious. “The game is the same as lost if you don’t play,” ex- claimed Jack Dean.” Of all the games, we need you most for this one. We have won from this school ever since I have been in school and it would be dreadful to lose this time when we have one of the best teams the school has ever had.” “Well, I don’t understand,” said Bob wearily. and, with this, he turned and started for his room. The team could think of no way of getting around the obstacles so they turned away disheartened. Jack however, was not ready to give up yet. He was captain of the team and he felt he must keep Bob on the team. rm on Bob's Disobedience ‘That evening, after the arrival of Bob’s lettcr. the follow- ine conversation took place between Jack and lis father, who happened to be in town on business. “Father, didn’t you use to go to school with Bob Stuart's father.” “Yes, son.” replied Mr. Dean, “and he was one of the best fellows the school had. He was always a good sup- porter of all school activities when he attended the Ben nington school.” “Can you understand why he should refuse to let Bob play athletics any os SON one lercaiate in the least, but he must have some down to Marysville to see him on some business early in the morn- ine and I will talk with him and see what T can do.” “T wish you would,” exclaimed Jack eagerly. The next morning. as Jack came from chapel, a mes- senger handed him a telegram. He grasped it eagerly and. with fingers trembling with excitement, opened it. But he read it with a sinking heart for it was from his father. who said he had heen unsuccessful with Mr. Stuart. After this bad news. even the next sentence could not Jack’s gloom. though it told him that his father going to try and return in time for the game. Jack began to walk slowly toward his room but, suddenly, he quickened his steps and started in the direction of the telegraph office. He knew Bob would never play without his father’s consent. so he decided to eet a blank telegram and fill it out so that it would give Bob permission to play in the nore ? That is not good reason. like him I am going lessen was game. A little later, as a evoup of boys were talkine over the dismal prospects. one of their number exclaimed : “Oh, look! boys! here comes Jack on the run with some- thing in his hand and he is calling to us!” As Jack drew near, they heard him eall, “A telegram, Bob, a telegram, maybe it is from your father. Read it aloud.” With this, he h ly able shouted his companions. The great day of the game was now here. The Westchester team had arrived and the time for the game to commence was drawing near, as was evident from the crowded bleachers. The Bennington team was let- ting its opponents use the diamond. In the front row of the bleachers sat two men, who had just arrived and were hard- Hurrah !”7 who read it aloud, news. “Hurrah ‘The day is saved.” anded it to Bob, to believe the good now quietly discussing the game. “T tell you our old school has a team that can beat Westchester school now,” said Mr. Dean. “Do you re- member how hard we used to fight to win from them ? Those were grand old days. Wes replied Mae simuaie Just then the ees gave the signal for the game to commence and the Westchester team took their place at the vat with the Bennington team in the field. The two men on the bleachers both uttered an exclamation of surprise as hey saw Bob Stuart take his place in the pitcher’s boy. Ir. Dean turned toward Ma. Stuart with a question on his ips, but wisely refrained from uttering it when he saw hat his companion’s surprise was equal to his own. Mr. Stuart half rose from his seat; but, recovering himself, sat down again with compressed lips and an expression on his ‘ace that promised ill to Bob for his disobedience. Both men watched the game closely. The teams proved 0 be very evenly matched and each team was equally de- ermined to gain the victory. Both sections of rooters their teams on. There seemed about those were happy days.” were cheering to urge as much of a contest between the rooting sections as be- tween the teams. By the last half of the eighth inning, tle scove stood 3 ta 4 in favor of the Westchester school. The Bennington school had two outs and it looked as it they were going to lose. Brown was up at the bat and barely made first. Hvans, one of the stars, came up to the bat and, after having two strikes, succeeded in placing Brown on third an d himself on second. ‘The next batter up was Bob and as he took his place at the bat, cheers greeted him for he was a favorite in the school and they saw that he must make good or the y would lose the game. Bob tried the second ball but missed it. The third and fourth he let pass. The fifth was one of the rival pitcher’s sly curves. Bob struck and the umpire was heard saying in a erulf voice, “strike two.” The next one was another such curve but Bob failed to make the ee blunder. Bob had thought the next one would probably be a good one so he pre pared to drive it far into right field. The ball left the pitcher's hand, whizzed through the air right over the plate and Bob struck. The catcher had his hands out- stretched to receive it but Bob’s bat interfered and sent the ball flying into right field just out of the fielder’s grasp. The cheering had ceased in the section, but now the very grandstand seemed to shake with the cheers. All were wildly shouting to encourage the men on the bases.

Just as Bob reached second. he heard the coach — eall. “Third.” and he raced on to third. The ball was fumbled at second and he reached third base safe. The Bennineton school had two outs, one run ahead, and a man on third base. Bob could hear the rooters cheering him and see his school banners waving. The next man at the bat failed to accomplish what was required of him for he was put out on first.

Bol stood in the pitcher’s box realizing that the outcome would de- pend greatly upon himself. The first batter up was struck by a ball and took his base. Bob could hear Jack’s voice on first base encouraging him. The next man up was Johnson, one of the Westchester school’s best men. He had two strikes and two balls called when Bob, gathering al! his force sent over one of his swift inward curves. Johnson made a hard strike at it but the thud with which if hit the catcher’s mit told that he had missed it. The umpire was heard to call “Out one; next batter up!” The Westchester school seemed to lose its confidence vith this out.

Che Wustctan He was a violinist, alone, old, wrinkled bv time, unap- preciated yet living always in the hope that some day he would be able to reach the hearts of the people by his be- loved music; he loved his lonely life with his one friend— his violin. Day by day, he toiled in a small tailor’s establishment, sewing endlessly, it seemed. in the same methodical wav. But in the evening, when the soft dark and quict lay over all the great city, he sat with his loved instrument pressed caressingly to him and played. Sometimes, they were low, hauntingly sweet, infinitely sad strains that drifted out into the night, while at other times, they were splendid, strong, vibrating with life and joy. and filling one with a sense of security and happiness difficult to explain. Also, he played to the memory of one who had long since been dead. These were tender and passionate strains, filled with love and sorrow, and many times he played until the pain in his heart was so great that he wept for her, By some strange trick ‘ot fate, he had never been given a chance, and his life was one long desire to be allowed to play in public. Numberless times he had applied at the theaters to play but had never been given a trial, for some time he had given it up and p layed only to imaginary dionces. It was Christmas eve. Hurrying thrones of people shed along the white, snow covered streets and the whole y seemed bent on one great holiday. On this Christmas eve the musicion wended his way along e of the most brilliant lighted streets in the city, toward a theater. He had resolved to try once more and then, if successful, give up the attempt for ever. He paused uncertainly ae the dim “Stage Entrance” and then, summoning his courage with a great effort, walked in. All was confusion within. It was the might when all the city would be there to hear the famous opera singers and players—and word had just been received by those present that Le Bois, the famous violinist, had sprained his wrist and would not be able to play. Just as excitement was at its highest pitch, the old musician opened the door and stood, the eynosure of all eves. He made a picturesque figure as he stood there peer- ing uncertainly at them the dim light, his long white hair covered with snow. his eves pitifully large with anxiety and his hands. blue with cold. clutching his violin. “What do you want?” was wher him and brokenly old violinist’s reply came. “Just one chance to play to the people.” the he exclaimed. 29 “1 ask no pay—only to play—to reach their hearts—to make them see with me, to feel with me the beauty of music—that is all that [ ask—please—just a chance,” his F and his hands worked nervously, their hold on the instrument. one present looked uncertainly at the other and voice trailed off and loosening Each tightening 10 one, in his surprise, knew what to do until some one said, “We might try him and see what he can do; something nust be done, you know.” They seized upon the suggestion eagerly, — and, nore eagerly, the — old man lifted the — lid of he worn case and drew forth the — yio- in, lifting it into position, without more ado, he layed a soft, sweet, rippling little melody that left his yearers amazed and their incredulity changed to wonder. When he had finished, as it was nearly time for the curtain to rise, they decided to give the old man a trial. At last his to himself, The old musician was wondrously happy. dream had come true!

Then the rain began to fall and the wind began its wailing and thunder and abandon. ‘Then after all was the sun came out and looked down bi nienly on the wet earth and all was happy again. All this the yeople felt as the � old, white-haired musician seemingly uncon- scious of them, played. It was nmished. A full moment they waited and then a mighty roar broke forth and were shouting wildly for more. The old man smi be became certain of his success. tears came to his eves from pure joy. Next he played a jolly, rollicking piece that set everyone smiling and left them apparently without a eare. So, on and on, through all his numbers, he played. sad that everyone lovely and tender. lightning broke forth in utter over, y ople were so wept: some In the year 1876 several men grouped themselves to- gether as the “Madera Flume for the purpose of building a flume to connect the plains with the vast and valuable forest which surrounded then A few mules south of the present site of Madera was the railroad station of Borden, then a thrivine little town of probably six hundred people. To this the company de- cided to direct its course. This town, built and mostly owned by the railroad, refused to admit the flume unless the company would pay them annually an enormous sum of money for doing so. This the refused to do, and after two months spent in fru itless parleving, they gave up and the railroad rejoiced in a victory. But their rejoicing was doomed to short after a con- ference of a few days, ie company sent a messenger to the railroad with this mes “We will neither give up our project, nor pay your ee; We will own and kill your contemptible litt Company” COM pany lived for, build a town oF ae le upstart.” From that others so filled with despair that people were worked up to the highest pitch. He moved nearer to the front of the stage as he began his last piece. It was called “Death,” faces blanched to ehastly white, became more and more strained. sad, the music death. As the last wailine note was beeun, the old musician raised his head high. looking, with his soul im his eyes, into the faces of the people: and. as the notes died away, he pitched forward—dead ! and as he began, and the nervous tension Low, wailing, infinitely dvifted on and on picturing the horror of day to this, Madera has had the bitter hatred of the rail- road company. Within a few weeks it was noised about that the cours of the flume had been changed: and when it was com plet- ed, this rumor was ene for it touched the railroad just three miles north of Borden. During the building of the flume, a large supply camp had been built at its destination which the company spared nothing to make into a city. When the flume was at last completed, 1e town contained a hotel, a grocery, hard- ware, and dry goods store, and one church. Siens of per- manent life could be seen evervwhere. Claims had been staked out and a few modest dwellings erected. Fora vear. the railroad company refused to recognize the new town and its trains thundered by without so much as slowing’ down for the crossings. In spite of this drawback, settlements had sprung up all about the new town. Southward were the Touistana and Alabama settlements, and to the north were the Okla- homa and Mississippi settlements. Within three years’ time Madera boasted six — stores, three churches, one large hotel, one rooming house, three streets of residence district, and a stage line, while Borden had four stores, one hotel (empty for the most of the time) and a great many vacant houses. A great many former Bordenites could be seen moving ab out on the Madera streets. In 1890, a match factory was built in Madera, in which a great many men were to be emploved. This and the mills offered a large field of employment to Madera’s popu- lation. Many people moved from Borden and settled in Madera because of this possibility of employment. At this time, another store closed out in Borden and set up in Madera and the railroad company realized that the com- pany’s threats were being fulfilled. The railroad officials, although still angry. saw the folly of longer holding aloof and moyed the depot from Borden io Madera and built a smaller one in its place. In 1896, two large grammar schools were buil and one east of the business blocks in Madera, including grocery, hardware, drygoods, drug stores, bakeries, hotels, lodging houses, six churches and twenty-one saloons. In 1902, a union high school was opened and situated on the second floor of the West Side grammar school and a building was started which was completed in 1903. Madera was now not only the center of industry and population in the county but it was also the educational center. In 1912, the streets were paved and a park planted, since which Madera has almost doubled in population. Today Madera is a city with a population of thirty-five hundred, six business blocks, and a square mile of thickly settled residence districts. Borden, her former rival, is just a railroad station, containing a ware house, a tiny depot, one old vacant delapidated store, two dwellings and = Chinese graveyard. , one West Dawn The little stars are waning in the sky, The soft light of the moon is gone And over in the East, a touch of pink is nigh: Tis Dawn.

Alfred didnt come home for lunch and it was a wise act on his part because the chances are, they would have had a quarrel. He came home for dinner about half-past five but nothing out of the ordinary happened except that it was a little quieter than usual. During the remainder of the evening. he kept pretty much to himself and read the evening paper a little more closely than usual. he left for the office without kissing his wife good-bye. She started to ery again but glanced up and saw his picture smiline at her. She stood upon a chair and kissed it. then the door bell rang. The noise startled her and she accidently turned the picture to- wards the wall as she Jumped down.

He hurried‘along and arrived just in time to see his wife and Mr. Bryton drive off in a machine. He stared until they had turned the corner and were lost to view, then turned and entered the house. The first thing he notice was that his picture was turned towards the wall. He yanked it from the wall and dashed it to the floor and cried with a snarl, “Eloped, well. go to it. | don’t care.” He stood glaring at his picture, rather. at the pieces of his picture, for a full twenty minutes. Then he bogan to wonder if she really had eloped; so he decided to take a look to see if she had taken any of her clothes. Instead of finding her clothes missing, he not only found them all there but a package besides. On opening it. he found a smoking jacket and a card with the words. “For my darling boy.” “Hey!” exclaimed Vincent, “Just wait till T get my hands on him. He’ll be the sorriest looking ‘Darling Bow that has ever tramped this old world.” With these words he left the house but not for his offices this time. He headed straight for a Detective Agency and hired a detective to watch his wife. He didn’t go home that nicht but called up his wife on the phone and told her that he wouldn’t be home as lv had to go to a neighboring town on business. He promised her that he would come howe in the morning.

It was arranged that if anything hap- pened the detective would let Vincent know over the tele- phone. About twelve o’clock Vincent was called to the phone and learned that a strange woman had ealled early in the evening and, by the looks of things, intended to stay all night. Vincent was at his office early in the morning ready to answer all phone calls. About nine o’clock Bryton called at the house to get Mrs. Vincent and Alfred’s mother, who had arrived the evening before, to take them out to the new house. They were so busy talking that no one noticed a man standing behind a tree and taking down the address which Bryton eave to the chauffeur.

By the Sea On the rocky coast of New Jersey, not far from New York, stands a lighthouse situated on a high crag. At the the keeper of the light- his daughter, Rosalinda, foot of the crag was the home of iouse where his aged father and ived. Rosalinda was a sweet, patient girl, very beautiful, with a happy and contented disposition, in spite of the fact that she was blind. The path leading up to the light- rouse was rough and dangerous, at places only about a foot in width. Just below the path lay the great ocean, surging with all its might, only to break upon the rocks. Yet up, this treacherous path, the old grandfather led the lind girl to her father each day. The place was an ideal one for a summer vacation. ‘Two voys, Jack Sherman and Lee Seward, who were chums at Yale, had heard of this place and, after procuring a gaso- ine launch, had brought Jack’s mother and her little four- vear-old son with them to spend a month’s outing here on the coast where they could go boating, swimming and vunting to their heart’s content. They took a great im- terest in the lighthouse and were often found there when Rosalinda was making her daily trip to her father. They admired her both for her beauty and her lovable disposi- tion. One day the boys had gone for a ride in the launch, ex- necting to return about six. On this particular dav. Rosa- linda failed to make her accustomed journey to the licht- house so her father came down to see what the trouble could be. He found his father suffering with intense pain from a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. He realized that it was necessary for him to make a trip to New York immediately and bring out a physician. His only means of travel was on horseback so he set out as soon as possible. Before going, he made arrangements with Mrs. Sherman to have the boys take charge of the lighthouse as soon as they returned. As night was approaching, clouds gathered in the sky and a fierce wind arose. Rosalinda knew well what would follow such omens. The roar of the ocean was loud. She wondered if all was well at the light-house. Could any ship be out on such a night as this? While such thoughts were going through her brain, a faint knock was heard at the door. Not knowing who it might be, she responded eautiously to the knock and the voice of Mrs. Sherman’s little hoy greeted her. “Oh, Miss Rosalinda,” he said, The boys haven’t come back yet and the light in the light-house is out and mother is scared most to death.” Rosalinda never before had had such a shock. The two bovs were at sea in their launch on such a night as this with no light to guide them. She really cared more for the boys than she allowed herself to believe, especially Jack. Besides, she didn’t know what other ship might be in danger. But what could she do? She thought of that narrow, treacherous path with the water surging beneath her. Then she thought of the boys. And why was the light out? Tf she only had her eyesight. But it took not a minute for all these thoughts to flash through her brain and her mind was made up. “Tell your mother not to worry,” she said resolutely, “I will put a lantern in the light-house.” Hastily she threw on a wrap, grabbed the lantern and left.the house.

It all sounded like a fairy story to her and she felt like the princess in a fairvtale. How hard she tried to hide her inward feelings and appear as if nothing ever happened. She played tennis every day and lagged just a little behind the rest when they returned to dinner so that she could slip a little note under the stone. In spite of all her efforts to appear the same, Guinevere was not the same er aa She could not con- ceal the fact that her thoughts often wandered from things her friends were talking about. Suspicion was aroused in the school. So many inci- dents pointed out toward romance. he girls resolved to be on watch and find out whom Guineyere was thinkin 38 about. “Perhaps she is in love with a lawyer. He must be wealthy for she has ee used to wealth. She admires a striking personality and a handsome face so he must be all of that. Probably she is going to elope before graduation.” said Emy Lou, who was quite intimate with Guinevere. “No, | don’t believe Guinevere is in love with a lawyer, for IT often heard her speak of her admiration for college professors. Maybe he is a young college student,’ added another. “T don’t believe Guineyere would elope at tall.” Blaine in- dignantly replied. “It is quite legitimate to be in love and I beheve that if she is engaged, the wedding will take place after her graduation which is next year. Even more serious thoughts were going through Guine- vere’s mind. She had imagined herself married to a mati of wealth, prominence, and character no matter what his occupation might be. What would her mother say? Would she consent ? The decisive note -ame to Guinevere. It told her to meet her beloved at midnight. She was to escape down a ladder and they were to run away to be married as he would have all arranged. On the fateful eve, Guinevere proposed going to bed early and was surprised by the willineness with which her room- mate consented to the plan. Tittle she dreamed that Elaine had found her note and had found out everything. About midnight. Guinevere arose to dress as quietly as a mouse. She dressed in a tailor suit and began to descend the ladder. As soon as Guinevere was out of sight, Elaine rushed downstairs to catch Guinevere. “Tere T am. dear,” cried a little freckled faced-lad at the foot of the ladder, laughing as much as he could, “T only wanted to see if you were game.” The sensations which Guinevere witnessed for the tiext to summon the girls on the lower floor few seconds were beyond description. — Poor disappointed Hlaime rushed up to her erief-stricken chum to comfort girl!

Betriended by Luck “Well, Mother, there’s one thing certain, we can't live here in this place any longer. You know, | can’t make any money here keeping books, for I could keep every- body’s books in town and I wouldn't have to spend over half a day at it. At that rate I’d never get any furtier on. It’s been the same hum-drum for a year and a half now and we've barely had enough to live on. Look at you and me. we both show the results of it.” The speaker, Louise Woodman, looked at her mother’s and her own clothing which had been patched many times. She was a very dark brunette, tall and with a very determ- ined tilt to her square chin. Although she could not be more than twenty-one, her face showed the signs of many troubles and hardships. From infaney she had known no father. When she was one month old, her father had been called to London on He was at that time a young lawyer in San Francisco, with a promising future. business. Two weeks passed and no word was heard from Mr. Woodman, until one day Mrs. Woodman was startled to read about the wreck of the vessel on which her husband vad sailed and of the drowning of all. She did not give up rope. and, in spite of her friend’s protestations. still hoped hat her husband would return at some time. After a year’s time, however, feeling that he would ney- er come back, and running short of money. she decided to ‘eturn to her sister and only relative, a few miles from Chicago. Her sister was now becoming old. and in a few nonths’ time died, leaving her little house and ten acres of and to her sister, Mrs. Woodman. About twenty years had passed since Mrs. Woodman’s 41 sister had died, and she and her daughter had spent all on the little farm. Louise, the baby-girl, had grown to a young woman, with only a scanty education with which to face the world. It seemed that they were becoming poorer every day: for, since Mrs. Woodman’s health had begun to fail, she was no longer able to take in sewing and so was forced to sell all but the lot on which the house stood, in or- der to pay the taxes and their living expenses, although these were not any more than necessary. For some time Louise had been trying to persuade her mother to move to some large city, where she felt sure that she could make enough money by her bookkeeping and stenography to keep her mother and herself quite comfort- ably. To these persuasions. Mrs. Woodman had never vielded because she had heard so much of the hardships en- dured by young girls who had gone to cities, hoping to make fortunes. but returning to their homes broken in ody and spirit. However, the determined in her daughter’s face made her feel that her objection would be heeded no onger. look said Mrs. Woodman, “I know what it is to © young and to long for the pleasures and bits of lux- ury that only the young know how to enjoy. If you can ind a suitable position advertised in the paper, I am verfeetly willing that you should take it.” “Oh. mother. ’m so glad. T know I can get a position very easily, for one of the girls told me that the paper is just full of ads for bookkeepers.” With these words, Louise left the room but returned in a few minutes, her face beaming with joy. “TLowise, “Well, what do you think of this, mother. Listen: ‘Wanted :—A stenographer and bookkeeper. Good pay. Address 1021 Broadway, New York City.’ “Isn't that fine? I am going to write this minute,” ex- claimed Louise, For the next few days, Louise went to the postoffice no less than three times a day. Between these trips, she washed, mended, and pressed all her clothes so that she could start as soon as she received a reply. On the fifth day she went to the postoffice as usual. he first time there was no word, but the next time she got a typewritten letter. She was too excited to leave the reading of the letter until she reached home, so she read it as she went down the street. She was so interested in the letter that she did not notice a man on a bicycle, until she ran into him and sent him sprawling on the sidewalk. She started and breathlessly begged his pardon. Te only smiled.at her interest in the letter. The next day, she left on the morning train and ar- rived in New York about seven o’clock. She felt that she had entered the gates of Paradise when she stepped into a brightly lighted restaurant and was waited, on by smiling waiters. That night she hired a room in a small, but clean and fairly well Fenitea hotel She slept well, tired from her journey, but was up bright and early as had been her custom at home. At half-past seven she took a downtown car and in a few minutes was at her destination. When she started to 42 mount the long flight of stairs, she felt a little nervous for fear that she might have difficulty in finding the right room. Louise was yery pleased to see the name of her new ver written in large gilt letters on a door at the end of the hall. On knocking at the door, she was, greeted by a stately, well-built man of about fifty years. As he saw her, he started. Where had he seen such a face before? Surely only one woman had ever had such a one! Could it be she? Oh, no! for she was becoming old as well as he. Then he remembered the baby gitl Oh! could such a thing © true? “ouise:!7 The girl started and stared at the man. Tow did he know her name ? With outstretched hands, he advanced toward her and in a voice, hoarse’ and scarcely audible, gasped, “Mv daughter!” , Then Louise realized the truth and with a ery of joy ‘ell into her father’s arms. When Louise and her father returned to Mrs. Wood- man, Mre Woodman told of his futile search for his wife and child, brought about because Mrs. Woodman had left San Francisco without leaving her address to any one. The united family, needless to say, were very happy. Mr. Woodman declared he would never go anywhere without them again, while Mrs. Woodman was elad that she had allowed Louise to go to New York. mee Of all sad words of tongue or pen, And there must be more than | can say, The saddest words I ever heard Are: “I simply flunked again today.” Q, sorry I feel for the hapless youth, Who idly sits day after day Watching the rest 20, leaving him there To say, “I’ve funiked again today.’ O, why could he not, when he had the chance, Have worked instead of played?

By the light of the dawn is seen, From the cliff so steep and high The Mission of St. Francis, Under the morning sky. It was builded manv vears ago, In that valley’s sheltered spot ; And may many years pass by E’re that valley know it not. It has stood the winter storm, Thru decades long gone by, And it stands in the valley, serene, Revealed by the hght from on high Its walls are grey and crumbled And moss has o’er them grown : A city around has been growing, As o'er it ages have flown. “Tis long since the monks and friars Have stood there side by side. And gazed at the dav light breaking. Over the waters wide. | The bay is now covered with vessels, That sail with the first break of And are wafted across the waters, To lands so far away. No more the morning: stillness, With nothing but roar of waves, And the bird’s sweet carol in the morn. O’er the many saered graves. Now, with the first break of dawn, The roar of the city is heard; A song may come thru the air, But “tis not’ the song of a bird. Oh! long may that Mission stand, With its cross like a signal high, And keep in loving memory The days that have long passed by.

The boys have formed a glee club which shows that they take a great interest in music. Next vear we hope to have sewing and advanced cooking for the girls’ and metal work in the boys’ departments. SENIOR CONTROL For the first time in the history of the Madera high school, the Seniors have been given absolute freedom to govern themselves, exempt from all rules and regulations of the school. There has been no trouble because of their haying been given this privilege. The Seniors have shown that they are worthy of such a responsibility and by their conduct have shown themselves worthy of these new privilege It also has a great influence on the lower classmen as they are all looking forward to their last year, when they will have the same privileges granted them.

The Sage Brush, Nevada State University Lectures One of the most interesting and instructive lectures of the year was that given by Dr. Bureh, in honor of Junipero Serra Day, on the history and growth of Cali- fornia. In connection with the literary entertainment given on February the eleventh, Judge Bareroft gave some of the most interesting and important incidents: of Lincoln’s life. On February twenty-second, District Attorney Larew spoke on the life of Washington, and especially on his work us a lawyer. Paul Brown addressed the students for a few minutes, during one of his visits here. As we had just heard of the sad death of Tom Hanney, he told us about some of his great work as a missionary and Christian Endeavor worker, and also about the great future that had been be- fore him. Along with a literary program given the Friday before Institute week, Mr. Maloy, Secretary of the Chamber of ‘ommerce, gave a talk on John Brown’s life and the raid at Harper’s Ferry. This was of special interest to the American History Class. Ben McIntosh, otherwise known as Curley Crow, who claims to be the sole suryivor of Custer’s fight, entertained us with a profitable lecture on the causes and ineidents of that fight. Professor Savory, phrenologist, informed us about some of our knowledge bumps and what they stood for. Now the students are trying to develop some of these to ad- vantage. Plays A yery attractive college play of four acts, “The Varsity Coach,” was rehearsed in May, to be given at the Opera House May 22, 1914. The slender thread of plot of the play was woven about the fortunes of one of the athletic heroes of the college. Robert. or Bob Selby as he was called, was assistant coach for the Varsity Crew. It was nearing the end of the tera: and, having devoted so much time to athleties, he was ini danger of flunking. A lively romance between Bob and Ruth Moore, a swee! serious college girl, grew. She finally helped him win the battle with his neglected studies. Robert had a fairy-godmother, a maiden aunt who was sending him through school. Waving heard that a youth from Hammond was to be awarded a prize scholarship and, thinking it her beloved nephew, she visited him at his boarding place, where the college boys seemed to her Vik barbarians. She was greatly shocked by the sports of her nephow’s companions. While she was there, Robert reecived a ted card from his professor statin: @ that he had flunked. All were disappomted in Bob as they wanted him elected head coach. Mousie Kent, a past rival in love and scholarship, was won over to Bob’s side by Ruth Moore and proved to be very valuable assistance. All encouraged Bob to study and he finally won out. In the end, Bob received a prize from the university for writing a col He triumphed by being elect- ed head coach of the crew. ege opera.

During the summer months the old grammar school had been stocked with tools and work was begun on the very first day. The first four months were devoted to equipping ihe building with shelyes, saw horses, and bench hooks. ‘The first piece of furniture was started in November and by the time that Christmas vacation had come, there Was enough furniture finished to © give § =— an exhibit. Although it was raining hard on the Friday of the exhibit, fully six hundred came to see the work t urned out by the students. Library tables, tea tables, morris chairs, piano benches, and dining room chairs have been made by the students since Christmas. At the beginning of May, plans were made to have tke inal exhibit in the high school building during the latter art of the month. Corners of the assembly hall were fitted up to resemble rooms which would be furnished py the students of the industrial department. It was thought that vundreds from town and country would visit the high school during the day to inspect the well-made furniture.

We all regret that it was impossible to have adyanced sewing this year, but as all good things come in time, we will patiently wait, hoping that the prosperous year of 1914 will grant us some of its bounties. Drawing Far greater interest has been taken in drawing ‘his year than at any time previously in the history of onr school. All the Freshmen take that subject whether their iastes run in that direction or not, but they are making yaliant headway and besides these, several members of other classes are taking it. Many good results have been obtained and the plan of having drawing a compulsory subject for Fresi:men has been proved worth while. The models and casts are very good. The interest taken is demonstrated by the fact that pupils spend extra periods without being asked to Without doubt, no other school can cessful year in musie than can Madera High.

Several concerts have been given in the high school aud- itorium during the year and the pleasure which they have given the students and patrons is due largely to the di- rector. The high school was proud to accept the invitation to visit the San Joaquin Valley Institute in Fresno in March and entertain the five hundred teachers with half an hour of classical music. We were sorry not to have had a schoo! orchestra this vear, but the Seniors of 713, besides making their loss felt in many other important respects, took away with them some of our musicians so that it was impossible to carry this line of music through. Here’s hoping the chorus will achieve great success in the future and that, next year, Madera High will be able to boast of a large orchestra. FresHMAN RECEPTION The Seniors proyed their splendid ability as hosts and hostesses, when they entertained the numerous wee Fresh- men wit h a delightful reception on the eighth day of Oc- tober, nineteen hundred thirteen. The Auditorium was decorated elaborately in green and white, the Freshmen colors, and, over the south door a huge green “seventeen” was in evidence, while a “fourteen” adorned the north entrance. At nine o'clock an interesting program was rendered, and then, the awe-stricken Freshies were led to the ban- quet hall, where a sumptuous repast was spread, and the color scheme, so much lke the honored little carried out im a clever manner. After everyone had partaken of the tempting dainties, ruests, Was and interesting toasts had been given by the teachers, class With the “wee sma’ ” hours of the morning, the delight- presidents, and athletic captains, the Seniors and upper — ful reception, which was a tremendous success from start to classmen led the wondering Freshmen back to the Assembly — finish, was broken up, and the little tots, still dazzled by the hall where the soft strains of a waltz greeted them, and the — glovies of the night were escorted to their homes. , remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Beyond a doubt. this was one of the most (if not the most) enjoyable Freshmen receptions ever given in Madera high, and it proved the Seniors royal entertainers. HALLOWE'EN On this weird night, when the witches and goblins walk on terra firma, the students of Madera High, in spectacular disguise, met to enjoy the evening at the residence of Pro- fessor and Mrs. Mower. When the honored guests, Mr. and Mrs. John Wasley, in whose honor the reception was given, arrived, they were greeted by the happy students, who welcomed the “newly- weds” warmly, and then, all were led to the — spacious porch where dancing was en- joved until midnight. The porch was cleverly decor- ated with grapevine and witches, and the dim ght from the jack-o-lanterns produced a very ghostly effect. At the hour when the goblins appear, a dainty repast was served, which was enjoyed by everyone present. After toasts were given, the students gathered and sang the old songs: then, adicus were said to the kind host and hostess, and the guests departed, each one declaring it the most enjoyable Hallowe'en he had ever spent. “ls THe ALUMNI BANQUET OF December nineteenth witnessed the most brillant event ever given in Madera High, when the alumni, faculty and student body gathered together to hold their annual re- nion. The spacious Auditorium made a very attractive scene with its royal purple and white decorations, and the han- uet table arranged in the form of the letter “H™ and trewn with ferns and violets. All the classes, dating back as far as ninety-seven, gathered together once more to talk over their happy school ays spent in old Madera High. Se oo At nine o’clock the upper class boys, who made excellent waiters, announced the repast ready. Mr. Craig Cunning- ham acted as toast master, and, after many enjoyable speeches, an enjoyable program was rendered; then, the orchestra, from a platform banked with evergreens, played a selection, and dancing was enjoyed until a late hour. There was the largest attendance of alumni ever wit- nessed in Madera, and representatives from the University of California, Stanford University, Redlands University, San Jose and Fresno Normals, Fresno Junior College, and the different classes in High, were present. The happy alumni then bade adieu to their dear old Hich until another year should roll around and gather them together once more. Everyone pronounced the students of M. H. 8S. ideal hosts and hostesses, and the banquet was the most en- jovable and successful event given during the year. THe Junior RAGTIME PARTY Last, but not the least, came the most original social function of the year. This was the Junior Ragtime party, viven to the Seniors on April sixteenth, nineteen four- teen. The Freeland residence was the scene of this joyous event, and appeared very beautiful with bowers of roses that adorned the spacious rooms. When all the guests had arrived. a strictly “ragtime” program was given, and was enjoyed by everyone present.
