I tug almost angrily upon my string, for that winged fowl is going even farther than I. If the boy who stands there far below, on the green hillside, sur- rounded by his playmatesg if the boy who holds my string, who stands be- tween me and my freedom, would only loose his hold, I would follow that scudding cloud across the turquoise vault to the portals of heaven, and I might kiss the sky. But he will do nothing of the sort. I tell you, I am not small in the eyes of man. XYas it not a kin of mine that helped to draw from the sky that elusive white fire, electricity, the friend of man? VVhy, even now the children watch my graceful spirals with wide, appreciative eyes. They like to see my expression change, perhaps. You see, I am a two- faced kite. One of the faces is a laugh, the other a frown, and as I twirl about in the air, they can see me looking down at them. But hark! The clanging of the dinner-bell comes across the fields to us. The boy is goingg and I must go too-and wait behind the cellar door. LUCY HAGER, '26 THE MONK'S REWARD In his little cell Father Dominic was busily at work putting the finish- ing touch on a small ivory statuette of the Virgin. His hands, gnarled and drawn with blue veins running in criss-cross ridges, moved with a skill

THE GARNET AND GRAY 7 which age had not perceptibly diminished, while he carved, softly murmuring his prayers. As the light streaming through the square aperture near the ceiling grew dim the old monk increased his speed, but his eyes were helpless in the disappearing twilight and with a sigh he decided that the completion of the statue must be left for the morrow. As he contemplated the figure held in his outstretched palm his head began to nod and in the midst of his study drooped forward on his chest and he aroused himself with a start when he realized that sleep had nearly overtaken him before the completion of his daily tasks. Since the death of Brother Francis, it had been his duty to light the tapers in the chapel as he passed on his way to the evening meal served in the great hall of the monastery, for this was one of the lighter tasks assigned to the oldest mem- bers of the order. With a last regretful glance he placed the miniature of the Virgin on a low, broad shelf, and picking up the bundle of tapers he was about to leave the room, when he noticed that he had not put away his tools. Bend- ing over to pick up one of them he felt a sharp twinge of pain and sat down on his bench, thinking that it would pass away before he must begin his task. With his head in his hands he thought of the physical trials of an in- creasing age and the handicap of years. The tolling of a bell in the distance warned him of work yet to be per- formed, but a sense of comfort and a feeling of drowsiness had fallen over him. He assured himself that there was time enough and then uncon- sciously relaxed, and fell asleep. Faintly pealing chimes and a bird caroling sweetly, as a shining ray of light crept over the monk's kindly old face, brought back consciousness and in the vision of the aged priest appeared the saddest sight' oni eartih. In the far distance a group of monks with sorrowful mien were assembled in a chapel gathered about the bier of one of their brethren. As they intoned the funeral service a veil was drawn shutting out all earthly vision, and there burst upon Father Dominic all the joy of heaven. MARY HARRIS, '23 WHEN KNIGHTS WERE BOLD I The warm morning sun had hardly dispelled the grey mists of the low-lands, when the stolid peasants in the hamlet below the grey walls of Nordwick Castle heard the peremptory blast of a bugle-horn, followed by the clatter of chains as the great draw-bridge was lowered. These sounds were usually followed by the appearance either of a grim, war-like band of knights, clad in glinting armor, bound for some foray, or a merry hunt- ing party, with gay-colored, waving plumes and pennants, galloping by with a jingle of spurs and a clatter of quivers. But today, a strange sight greeted them. Slowly without a sound of horn or voice a funeral procession wound T
