as long as they live. And quiet, modest Nellie. What became of her? Oh. she became a missionary and went to Africa. She was fortunate in being located in a partly civilized colony, near the coast. After she had been there a short time she met a minister front her native country and they were married and lived in a pretty bungalow. Here they conduct schools for the heathen children and are being a blessing to these ignorant | cople. During Karl Hoff’s Senior year he became deeply interested in machinery. He spent a number of years in trying different inventions and finally invented an aeroplane for himself ami made a few successful flights. He started across the continent to make a banner flight, but when near his destination, while sailing at full speed, the engine suddenly ceased running and lire machine fell to the ground. Karl was crushed to death, but the thing for which he gave his life was shortly after made a blessing to the world and his name will live forever as one of the brave ami unselfish men of modern times. Madge Hart went from High School to college ami took several years in Domestic Science. She then went West for a few years, but having completed her college course ami having satisfied her longing for travel, she returned to her home in Auburn. There she consented to listen to Walter's pleading. He was anxious to please his wife and knowing how fond she was of sweet things. he bought the Greek Palace of sweets, and, after improving it. made a fortune thro’ it.

Here he won a great name, but Yeager, being very ambitious, was not satisfied with this. He now turned to politics and in 1928 was elected president of the United States by the Republican party. He was not yet 35 years old, but the l eoplc amended the Constitution so that he might lie president. For four years Freeman served his country, giving the liest of his services to it. As a reward for his services he was re-elected by an entire vote of the presidential electors. the first person to Ik so honored since Washington. This term was tiegun by Yeager with vim and enthusiasm, but soon his interest liegan to relax.

Now being a Mormon he could marry them all. Now is where Freeman at last finds his match. Although lie was great enough to outwit learned lawyers: to handle the reins in |xditics. and guide the nation for four years, in each case showing a master's mind, he was unable to handle thirty wives to his own satisfaction. He soon resigned the presidency, withdrew from politics and devoted the rest of his long life to their whims and fancies.

I asked her what it was she wished to say ami with some hesitation she told me that if I stayed within their kingdom until the clock struck twelve I should have to stay there forever, for anyone entering the kingdom ami remaining until after midnight of the day upon which they entered could never leave it. Much as site wanted me to stay, she could not keep me longer. I hastily bade the King and (Queen farewell and started l ack. led by the footman, along the dimly lighted passage which led to the outer world, lie fore leaving the Queen, I gave her a small bunch of violets which I had worn, for it was the only token I had which I could leave with her, and she placed
