parley with an office boy I was admitted to the main office. As I entered the room I saw approaching me Edson Klinkel, not as I had known him in school but still bearing close resemblance to his former self. Seeing that he did not recognize me I told him my name, and while we were enjoying a happy re- union talking over old times, Otis, the other member of the firm entered. The boys then told me that after leaving high school they had studied law and had been very successful in their chosen profession. Edson said if I would go home with him he still had a wonderful surprise in store for me. 1, happy to be with my old friends readily consented to go home with him. At the close of the afternoon we went immediately to Edson’s home where I met his smiling wife no other than Elizabeth Mondhank. While we three were busy talking of days gone by, guests were announced and presently Otis entered with bis surprise, Anna Ball. I learned that the lives of both ladies had been well and usefully spent in caring for their families, and 1 could see by the happy faces of all concerned that their duty had been well performed. As I have now told you of the prosperity of all of my other classmates and seeing you and your husband carrying on such a great work in capacity of physicians, I would like to ask your advice concerning whether or not I shall return to my wife and resume my former life or just continue in the way that I have been going until my days shall be ended.” I advised him to by all means follow the former course and in a few days I learned by a letter from him that he had followed my advice and was again a happy contented man.

singer, I was told that this man was Ora Blaker and that lie was considered the world’s greatest evangelistic singer. It was unusual for him to come to cities even the size of Butler but for the sake of his former connection with the town he had condescended to come and let the people of Butler enjoy the beauty of his voice. After the services were over 1 managed to have a little talk with Ora. 1 asked him what had become of Kermit Oberlin, and he said that Kermit who was then traveling with a renowned Chautuaqua, was specializing in minstrel work in which he was very successful. A few days later, hearing that Madge McClellan was residing in Auburn I decided to go there aand learn what she had been doing since leaving high school. Upon arriving in the city, I inquired concerning her whereabouts but no one seemed to know anything about Madge McClellan. I had almost de- cided to give up the search when I noticed a lady going up the steps of a beau- tiful dwelling. I instantly recognized this lady as Dorothy Ilavertsoek. and after telling her my name I inquired what she had done since leaving school. She told me that after laving school she had married a farmer near B------and was now enjoying the pleasures of a happy farm life. She said she had come to the city to deliver some fresh farm produce to an old school friend. Before I had time to inquire who this school friend might be the lady herself appear- ed at the door. Madge recognized me. for it was no other than Madge Mc- Clellan. also immediately. She invited me into the house and commenced tell- ing me what she had been do’ng s nee leaving dear old B. II. S. She had spent two years teaching school after which she decided to enter the dressmaking profession. However soon becoming dissatisfied with this work she was mar- ried to the man whom all her classmates knew had been her choice, during the last year of her high school career. After spending a few delightful hours with Madge, T decided to return to Butler again as my mission to Auburn had been fulfilled. As I passed down the street my attention was drawn to two boys one tall and rather dark com- plexioned the other much shorter and of slightly lighter complexion. The boys seemed to be between eighteen and twenty years of age. As I observed the lads more closely, 1 thought that they surely must be Otis and Edson the pals inseparable. Then 1 remembered that thirty years must have made great changes in the appearances of my former classmates. I decided, however, to learn more corncerning these boys and followed them until they were about to enter a beautiful home, when I called to them and asked the taller of the fellows where bis father worked. He told me very politely that he would es- cort me to his fathers office if I wished him to do so. I gave my consent and after a short walk we came to a large building, over the entrance to which the words, Fisher Klinkel, Attorneys at Law, were written. I walked in boldly now fully determined that my suspicions had been correct. After a short
