Our Dear Readers : FTER many sleepless nights and many failures in recitations, we are at last able to present this volume of the Eniauton for your approhation. And that it would meet your approval has been our sustaining hope throughout all our work. lVe have tried to keep it free from all caustic remarks, for we have no desire to hurt anybody's feelings. If any such remarks have crept v I in, our only defense is, that it was unintentional on our part. Should you examine the preceding Annuals, you would perhaps notice that they seem to he the production rather of a single class than of the whole school. The cause of this was that the name, size and color of the editions changed annually, to suit the tastes off the classes. Last year's staff suggested that the name should remain the same each year, which, we think, would remedy the fault somewhat. Our suggestion to future classes is, that the size and color of the hook remain unchanged, as well as the name. That this sugges- tion inay he the more easily followed, we have puhlished a hook which we hope will be deeincd worthy of imitation by coming Senior Classes. ln conclusion, we wish to thank Miss Bertha jackson and Messrs. Paul Hopkins, Chas. li. Falls, Marian Miller and Fred Burger, who have aided us very efficiently in illustrating our Annual.

Hzsiozy of Class 'oI. FTER four years of ceaseless toil, we are, at last able to lay down our burdens with a sigh of relief and look forward to taking up new ones, in the grander and nobler fields for which we have been so long prepar- i ing. Some of us joyfully anticipate four years in some of our large universities, while others will begin their life woik frcm this point. But no matter what paths we tread in the succeeding years there can hardly be any one of us so unappreciative of the benefits received or the pleasure which we have had during our course that he will not recall these four years with the greatest pleasure. The events which have transpired during our course here in the High School will hardly be as clear in our minds four or uve years hence as they are now, but nevertheless they will still cling there. Ilini and hazy as they may become they are now as distinctly outlined in our minds as though they had happened yesterday. It requires but a slight stretch of the imagination and we arc again tiznid freshmen, wanderingthrough the now familiar halls in search of our abiding place, but too bashful to ask. lVe can almost feel again the sense of relief when we are safely housed under the red hot attic roof. Then with perfect ease we begin at the beginning and live our whole freshman year over again, We hear ourselves boasting to the upper classmen of our enormous numbers, having at length rid ourselves of our bashfulness. And now in our Senior year, it occurs to us for the first time, that we were the originators of the two halves and no re- ports system. Such a thing was never known to the High School before we entered, and we in our steady march onward have at last advanced it to the Senior year. But let us pass on into our Sophomore year. Again we stand at the entrance of our second year. Once more we seem to survey our sadly depleted numbers. VVe see again the punishment of some unruly member of our class for a deed that grew simply out of an overflow of restless ardour. This same restless spirit and tireless energy which spent itself then in mischievous deeds has, when at last it has been rightly directed carried us over many knotty problems during the last two years. There is little to recall in this or the following years which would interest any one except the participants, yet there is one of few happenings which we would fain chronicle, should our readers permit it. This is our acknowledgement of the class 'oo's kind invitation to usher for them on the night of their graduation. It has always been a custom among Colleges and High Schools to make just as much trouble for the graduating class as possible. In our High School the time usually chosen for this was the night of the graduation, when all the Seniors were sitting in their stiff backed chairs at the Temple. Therefore we chose this time for the custom- ary discomiiting of the Seniors. It was with great impatience that we waited for this night. At last it came. Also in accordance with the custom we acted as ushers. For a very warm and long quarter of an hour we rushed wildly about while the people Bled quietly in and took their places. At the end of this time all were seated, and the Seniors, poor fellows, had Hled quietly in and taken their places The performance began with a whoop and a roar from the orchestra. Then followed speech upon speech in quick succession. In the very midst of the melee our originality appeared. Two dusky coons, concealed from the audience by a huge 'or banner, paraded down the aisle into the front box. The effect was grand. There appeared to be no motive power to the banner, but that it actually had taken legs and was walking majestically down the aisle. Not long after the hubub succeeding this had sudsided our next disturbance appeared. Everything was passing along serenely when the lights were turned out and there was total darkness for an instant. Then the lights were turned on. Lo, the color had been changed, and instead of the glaring white light the audience now see by means of the glorious old red and blue. The other happen- ings of that eventful night might perhaps weary you, so we leave them to tradition to tell. And now our school days in High School are almost ended. The days of pleasure and hard Work combined are nearly finished, and we must soon take up the serious pursuits of life. lVe must in a little while separate and tread different paths. But let us hope that even as it has taken these four years for the bud which appeared in the freshman year to unfold into its full beauty in our Senior year, that it may not now decay and become soiled by the ravages of time, but that each petal may be pure and white as in our freshman year, and above all, that it may still cling to good old stem IQOI.

It cannot be said that the class tested the capacity of the old attic in which it was stored, but what it lacked in numbers was more Q: ' 'Z than made up by the unusually large amount of genius displayed at S. 7 the recitations. The class was organized early in its career and llW .- H ,M 27 - mi grace the Fort Wayfne High School with the best class that has ever m y ' X'- f , W sm R V launched forth with its glorious banner of gold and blue streaming at the mast, and with competent officers at the helm, ready to guide it through the storms and yicis- situdes of high school life. lVhen one year of high school life had passed, and the class of IQOZ was about to enter up- on its second year, the members began to think of laying aside their childish ways and assuming the dignity becoming to sophomores. Consequently this year was very quiet, but few class incct- ings were held, and nothing of importance was accomplished outside of school work. ln the recitation rooms, however, our teachers all acknowledged that they never had a better class. Even Geometry was taken up this year. Un field day the first and third all-around medals were won by members of I902. The third year was begun with a large decrease in number. Some members entered pre- paratory school, or business college, while others found a good chance to lcar11 a tradcg but we lost comparatively few because of failure in lessons. Notwithstanding the large decrease in number, the class entered upon the junior year with a great show of enthusiasiii. Many business meetings were held. At one of the first of these it was decided to buy class pins this year in- stead of the final year, as was the custom. Consequently the class of 1992 has the honor of being the first to Wear its pin in the junior year. About the middle of the year the customary dance was given to the seniors. This, like all undertakings of the class was a success, both socially and linaneially.

In my dreams I climbed a mountain high, Like the glaciered Alpine chain, And, behold, I had a vision there Of the Sophomore class in train. There came o'er the crest of the sun-kissed Time bears on its surging sea, Images noble and grand and true Of our class of Nineteen Three. The boys drifted far on the sen of time lVith the ebb and Ilow of thc tidcg Many set sail in thc ship of Fume, Turbid Walters of Honor to ride. Some of us reached the mdiant top Of thc ladder of knowledge we' climbed VVhilc others lingered to rest and repose In sunlit valleys behind. I thought what a destiny is ours, If We only do not mar The figure on the horoscope, W'here shines our risen star! But a few, I saw, oft tempted to stray In paths far from virtue and right, But here my vision was shrouded in gloom As dense as the darkness of night. Then I saw the girls-the Sophomore girls Each a rosebud promise to be. A rare promise of beauty, truth and worth, For the crown worn by Nineteen Three . NV U.

The class was formally organized on the I3 of February, IQOO. At this meeting the officers were elected and committees appoint- ed. After a due amount of discussion, Blue and lVhite were selected as class colors. Ninteen hundred and one finds our star in the ascen- Lnt. Oratory has broken out in our midst. The High School finds itself unable to give an entertainment without calling on IQO3. XVe sing! VVe play! VVe recite! In forensic oratory we challenge all other classes! It is our purpose to improve upon our past, and when IQO3 passes from the classic halls of the Fort W'ayne High School, it will leave behind a record attained by no other class, ' 1 f H' 1,2 ffffyfff ' ,X j ' ff' , X ,', fr' Yfi -.Vw fp 'fr ik ZQ I 4 ,4'- V , 1171 9 ' f'::4 :,V , ig,f iff 4 -. .ff ff f ff' K yv' 55,5 ZZ '-H 'ff W, f 5, WH 1 gif, ,17 7 ff ' ' , fly i n X-swf' f X 52, NA JIM I Il YQ if ff ff , , xxV.f'xXT.-v- V XX 5 Yi if Xxigikg i gli .

Mary Orvis, Historian. ,O4 Gpoem. wvvvvvvvvv-VV, ln September, year of naughty naught, A certain class with learning fraught, The Freshman class of Nineteen Four Passed inthe High School's open door. No one there of manners so kind, As their guide to be, could the freshman ind, Who would show the way to the topmost Hoor, The Freshman's abode since the days of yore. So with faltering, timid steps they hied, Upward, ever upward till an open door they spied, ln an attic big and bare They were told to take a chair. So in suspense they waited While their programme was debated. lt didn't take the teacher's long, They learned their programme like a song, The teachers say they're very nice, And what they say it will suffice. ln classes they're as good as any, And have more fun than a good many. This class complains about the stairs, The building too, and e'en the chairs, tliut whose is a better right than theirs ?J ln winter its so cold and dark, ln summer its hotter than the ark, But if the teachers, kind and deart?j Can stand it with patience and with good cheer, We ought to be able to stand it too, Since the prospect of a building new, By kindness of School Board, we have in view. Negative P's on our papers are found, Pis and F's and all the round Of marks, results of toil, Results of burning the midnight oil. At school we would be found, lf you should happen to call around, Hard studying at the mound Of papers, our studies to expound. For studying occupies most of the year, When one is a Freshman pure and clear, With only a trick ever and anon Thrown in to help our studying along. So in journeying on to the second year, With all good will and hearty good cheer, With fellowship sound, And learning profound, While the virtues and truths symbolized by ourflower, Help us to survive with credit the dangers of many an hour, We'll shout out our class yell till the rafters resound, And echo it back, the glad joyful sound, And hurrah for the Red, and hurrah for the White, Till the walls catch them up and answerthemuall right. Hisfozy of Class '04, ff' T N the fall of the year of IQCO, a large class of verdant Freshmen were i T' transplanted from the sprouting beds of the grades to the capacious : hot house of the High School. VVe thrived well in the genial light and cyl ' warmth on the third Hoor. Our gardener gave us the most thoughtful K if I attention. lfVhen we did not do well in certain parts of the room, she H M transplanted us temporarily to that brightest and warmest of all spots, -A i the benchf, But we were not without self government. We met and organized on the fifth day of October. At this meeting we elected a president, whose duty it is to look all that is sweet and gracious, a vice-president, who will represent us well in events of pomp and dignity, a secretary, whose duty it is to sit on the platform and keep the president company, a treasurer, who assures us at every meeting that our class dues come in slowly, and lastly the poetess and the historian, who tryato impress tl1e public with the perfections of this glorious body, The motto which we have undertaken to substantiate is, A good education is a better safe guard of liberty than astanding army. The choice of colors mark the various epoehs in our class history. Those first chosen were the devil's ownmred and black. But for obvious reasons we assumed the more modest green and grey. Later as our confidence returned and our spirits rose, they were changed to lavender and gold. But now our colors are as hxed as the stars, and in accordance with our motto we have white for peace, and red for the tight that is in us. Our flowers are red and white carnations. The social events of the year was the sleighing party to Swift's farm, on the evening of February 11th. Those of us who remained at home heard glowing accounts of the warm hos- pitality enjoyed by the others. The school event of the year was the loss of Professor Shultz, with whom our work was intensely interesting. As a class we enjoy one characteristic, unique in itself. It takes the form of a hope, a hope that no Fort NVayne High School class, for the last twenty years, has had courage to sus- tain, the hope that we may be the hrst class to graduate from that mystic building, The New High School. But, dear readers, this is a history, and if you wish to see this hopeful, loyal, jolly class, whatever you do, don't look for us under the skylight, forfe Where, Oh where, are those verdant Freshmen ? Where, Oh where, are those verdant Freshmen? Where, Oh where, are those verdant Freshmen? Landed safe in Soph'more year. 4 1 ? .- a 4 l , k E Eg Manual T Zdlfllflg Sclyools.

Since the last annual appeared the spinning planet which we infest has made another lap around the sun without a jar or a wabble or any visible sign of its enormous motion. Less smooth has been the course and more perturbed by interplanetary attraction has been the path of that company of its inhabitants which composes the Fort lVayne High School Athletic Association. In fact, early in the year it barely escaped conjunction with another body, and at a later stage of its orbit it had a series of collisions, the last one fraught with dire results. However, the members of this organization do not desire too smooth sailing and rather welcome occasional hard bumps as making for the strenuous life of which we heard so much Qand saw so muchj in the recent political campaign. In the last twelve months the A. A. A. has added to its record a chapter in which may be found some novel experiences and many things of interest to those who are interested in such things. The newest experience was the attempt and failure to hold an 'tlnterscholasticw Field Day with the Auburn High School Association. This meet proved to be a dream from which the sleepers were rudely wakened only when upon the track and just as the bell rang for the first event. An unfortunate difference of opinion as to the necessary school status of contestants, strengthened no doubt by the mutual knowledge that upon the point in debate rested largely the issue of the day, resulted in what in unvarnished terms would be called a wrangle. And while at the last instant, for the sake of the investing spectators, Fort VVayne protestingly receded from her position, it was not in time to keep the Auburnites from receding from the grounds. Then the Auburn Hag was pulled down in a spectacular manner and the meet was transformed into a good old time field day of our own. The contest was spirited and new records were made, as can be seen on a neighboring page, ln the fall the manager of the foot ball team secured a good schedule of games, and a series of red hot contests resulted, from which we seemed likely to emerge as champions. Others had something to say about that however, and one of the last games of the year, played with Huntington, proved our VVaterloo. But this may be said. A careful study of the seasonls games in Northern Indiana, shows our record for the year to be at least as good as that of any other school. The nature of this article and its space limits makes it impossible to go into the details of the games or into an analysis of the team. The dates of the games with the score for each appear in this book. As for the players, it is said a kodak fiend got a snap shot of them unawares for the annual, and no doubt their un- conscious poses in this picture will strike the observer. It is too bad that space will not allow the recording of how desperately the captain, Hop- kins, hit the line and what big and continued gains he made thro' right tackleg and how neatly Evans and Smith got around the ends for long runs, and how irrepressibly Alex and Fat wound their arms around the man with the ball, and in short how each man behind the gun did his part part with American precision and dispatch. It may be a long time before as good a team appears againg for Commencement night will see the Hnal departure of most of the players. And it will be hard to get as efiicient a manager as Smaltz and as faithful and helpful a coach as Dr. Jamieson. But let us hope and work for the coming year, and as we ring out the old and ring in the new, have confidence that with new talent we shall move on to new achievements no less glorious.

Enough has been said of the xx ork of the individual members of the team, so we will pass over that phase of the subject and proceed to a somewx hat fuller discussion of the season s games 'N 'L RN AS U .J vi V . . . I . 1- f A .- 1 . The team which lined up as the representatives of the High School in the first game was a most disheartening appearing crew to the adherents of the game. Our opponents were a picked team, called for the sake of a name Business Colleges. The game resulted in a hard won victory for the lligh School. The outcome, although not entirely unexpected, was yet somewhat in the nature of a pleasant surprise. Practice for the Huntington game was taken up the following week in a way very gratifying to both Captain and Coach. We lost at Huntington solely through lack of 'fstaying powers. The game seemed to be ours at first, but the men be- came exhausted before the end of the first half and the result was a defeat for us. The defeat in- stead of demoralizing the team only seemed to spur them to greater efforts. Practice for the game with Kendallville was resumed with renewed vigor. This was Won with ease as was also the lVabash game. The most important game of the season was lost to Huntington. We played hard for it but lost. Of course we have many excuses which account for our defeat, but lack of space and a distrust of the reader's credulity will not permit us to insert them here. The best we can do to wipe out the stain is to hold up before you the glorious defeat of Auburn, our ancient rivals. Last year they gained a victory of zo to o over us, and with this fresh in their minds they came to Fort VVayne confident of their ability to defeat us. We will say but little of the game since the score in itself speaks such volumes. Auburn was entirely outclassed in weight, in skill, in individual play, and in team work. With this very satisfying and effective cure for our terrible wound received the week before, we closed the not altogether inglorious season of 'oo. 1 I ,.,,.-.-v-7 The Club Lzlnlfs. A Senior thus addressed the class of Ninteen llundred One, lVith struggle hard and labor long at last our task is done. Let's spend the summer playing golf for pleasant 'tis and wise To throw aside the books and pen and muscle exercise. I know the very meadows wide will suit us to a 'Tee,' They now belong to Farmer Jones, but l am sure that he lVill only be too glad to let us use them for our links. I'll hie me out this very day and ask him tofby jinks Y The senior mounted then his wheel, with might and main he rode, Until he reached the old red house where Farmer jones abode. Good morning, Farmer jones, said he, ttthe boys have sent me out, They wish to keep a Hne golf links out here or here about, And thinking that your meadows green would give a splendid run, W'e wish to ask of you a leave to use them for our fun. lVe'll only dig a dozen holes and make a pond or two, Throw up a bumker here and there-but that won't bother you. Old Farmer Jones, he scratched his head, and twice he winked his eye, Then stopped another straw to chew ere he made this reply: t' A thayseed' I suppose I am, and you boys are pretty warm, But I'm most too smart to let a lynx go prowling round this farm. x 49 ff f f f f Kg X 2 ,W A af ,ff f fm gf 14 if ffl!! ll fb m ff' f zff 1 , ff f I fy! ff ,V i A N 0M CDe!!cz Sigma Nu.

Smile and bow g ask her favour g And lift her by the arm with pleasure. Now up together take your stand, You with eyes toward New England. Catch 'round your partner's waist just so, And clasp her hand as white as snow. Of course have on your Sunday pants g With backward steps begin the dance 9 Then toward Salt Lake the right foot swing, And after it the left one bring Now forward with a sprightly gait No matter how much supper you ate. Point now your nose toward Arctic regions And backward step 'tween dancing legions. Don't shove your partner o'er a seat Or step upon her dainty feet, For you might her wrath arouse And she would in her ire carouse. Think of Hazel's flashing eyes Steeped in Nelson's diamond dyes. Horrid thought ! O Lord forbid ! A girl should say she, you, outdid, With Scaean whirl shift to the left With steps that are both quick and deft. Now face the front, and to the right A gliding two-step take real light. One full whirl you now have done 3 Keep on till 'round the room you've gone. lf your partner tries to lead, Assistance which you do not need, With gentle voice and accents clear Whisper this into her ear: All you've to do is to look up clear, Leave all the rest to me, my dear. Then wiggle those monstrous feet of thine, Larger by six sizes than mine. Pace now the place of Sol's ascensions And shuffle those feet of huge dimensions. Dudley, me you do amaze, For when your left foot you should raise You your right one lift instead, As though crawling into bed. Thrice the self-same rounds repeat, Then take your partner to a seat. Fan the sweat from off the brow Which does your ladyis face endow. When at last the dancing's done, And the clock has struck for one, She will before your eyes arise And with a smile of sweet surprise: Dudley, dear, O, Dudley, dear, Can we part without a tear? Raise then your eyes toward the stars And thank good Heaven that the cars Are still a-running even yet g Don overcoat and hat and get. But if perchance the cars have gone And everything seems going wrong, Homeward plod your weary way And soundly sleep till dawn of day. Dream of two-steps, waltzes, lancers, For the fairies are good dancers. But yet, dear friends, how vain we are To think this educates us far. Teach us however much it may, I must exclaim with the poetGrey: The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, All that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Await alike the inevitable hour, The paths of glory lead but to the grave. To my devoted friend and pal, MR. DUDLEY MURRAY, This poem is ' respectfully dedicated by the hilarious devotee of Terpsichore, The Deacon 1 ' The one and only originator of Deacon's chemical process and the great manipulator of elec- trical machines. dynamos, in- duction coils, etc., etc., etc. 'Wi -lx if 'Fawn' Tesfzknonzkzls. To the Public : ' By this means I wish to say that for several months past I have been afflicted with a most terrible malady. I had the disease of taking morning strolls. It is terribly centagiousl and I feared for my fellow students. Although I tried hard to cure it, I found it was impossible. At length hope appeared on the horizon. Kinsey was fired, but alas I all too soon heireturned. But behold he was tired again, and this time for good. I hereby state that I am effectually cured. MAIQJORIE Ol ns.

It has been a great annoyance to me. I have tried every remedy known to the lover's profession, but each have signally failed. Hut at last, my dear little boy, I am entirely cured. To you I owe it all. I would hardly recommend you to any one else though, because I am, yours forever. MABICI,. Professors Association of Illicit Distillers. DEAR SIR :-For the past year we have been afflicted with a serious loss of appetite for our noonday meals. 'We found no cause for it, but nevertheless was painfully aware of its presence. It was not only the cause of much discomfort, but also a great deal of inattention to our 1eSSOnS, We tried many remedies and even resorted to carrying sweetmeats in our pockets. Everything failed and we were in utter despair. A friend advised us to go to Lit. class and try a whiff of your ex- cellently distilled chocolate. Although we doubted its success, nevertheless we were entirely cured after two treatments. Yours truly, SENIOR Lrr. CL1-xss. Mr Lane. DIEAR SIR :-I was afliicted with a surplus of wickedness. This caused me a great deal of trouble. I could hardly attend to my business. Every remedy was tried but all in vain. I found none of them successful. I suffered a long while. Finally I happened to hit upon your wonder- ful invention, a dose of fresh air. Although not entirely cured, I am rapidly convalescing. I heartily recommend it to all afflicted with the same evil. Yours truly. ALEX. Urns. Mr. Crowe. MV DEAR SIR :-VVhile serving on the foot-ball team last fall I contracted a very severe lazy fever. Although I have tried many remedies Ihave found none which give any relief. Every one had given me up in despair. But just then the new air pump arrived. Your timely advice that I pump it for an hour each day has probably saved me from an untimely grave. I heartily recom- mend it to all afflicted in the same way. Yours truly, Maiuox MII.I.ER. Senior Class -Division Femina. -F- Almost from the time of my birth I have had an insatiable desire for doughnuts. I ate every sort of doughnuts in an attempt to cure myself, and even used restaurant ones, but all in vain. But how wonderful are the achievements of this world. The end for which I have striven all my life was accomplished in one day. I bought five dozen of your wonderful doughnuts. After tak- ing these as one dose, I am entirely cured. To you I ascribe all the glory. Yours truly, GUY SMITH. if: va fr I a t t . ' .U K ' fir 1. Nix A Dream of the F Lzfure. 'Tis one fine day at the set of sun, The evening shades have well begun, The pale moon streaks the broken clouds, And with her silvery light the wood enshrouds The dim light of the eastern sky Blends with the fading red on high. Forth with sad and care-worn brows l go to sleep beneath the boughs Of the giant forest oak That towers aloft with sombre look. The dew makes with the lily stems A flowery carpet rich with gems. Low l lay my drooping head Upon a dark and mossy bed. Sleep doth soon my brain allure, Anxious for the vague future Of my high-school friends forlorn Who think that they were surely born To perform most noble deeds And stand as oaks amidst the reeds. Soon l behold with dreaming eye A fairy down before me fly. She beckoned to me: Up, arise l Soar with me through distant skies And see what Future holds in store For your dear friends 3 for she divined The mist that palled my mortal mind. On we fly o'er the pathless road That leads to the dread Parcian abode. The fairy pulls aside the veil And lo l doth to my soul reveal They who rule the world forever, As they spin and twist and sever. They seemed to know rignt well my wish, So, quicker than a lightning's flash There was upreared before my view A form oi architecture new. I read engraved upon a stone Fort Wayne High School, l90l. I drew a sigh and looked no more Upon the substance of things hoped for, The evidence of things unseen, lt vanished from my eyesight keen, And l discern in outline bold The form of Alexander Olds. He kicks a ball with all his might And strains his leg: it was a sight. With heavenward eyes, convulsive lips He curses games and turns tit flips. His race of life has been well run, The thread is clipped, Clotho had spun. l hear a cat-mew in the distance And then l see in vague existence Poor Fred Shidel's pallid form, Emaciated, sad, care-worn q The remnants of a silly grin Are scattered o'er his peaked chin. All at once his parts collapse, Now his spiritual wings he flaps And sails into the inhnite into regions dark as night. Next there lies before our view A field of tombstones old and new. The fairy leads with ghostly tread A 'Through the city of the dead. Soon to a marble slab we come, My leader points with gesture dumb, This the inscription that l spied: Alice Foster born and died, t' Her soul is now in Paradise, With the saints she doth rejoice. She longed to be a loving wife And spend with some fair lad this life, Her one desire was ne'er supplied, tt So with a broken heart she died. The graves have vanished g we stand alone g We reign in silence, the breeze our throne. Yet still another scene was painted At which my heart it nearly fainted. A gorgeous room in splendor furnished, The chairs and stands with silver burnished 3 A hne flush carpet on the floor, A costly rug before the door. Two sit in the room together, They always loved and will forever. These two long ago were twain, Both are now one and the same, Miss Hazel Pearse and Page Yarnelle, How they love each other no tongue can tell. I close my eyes and heave a sigh E'er one more scene l must descry. An opera building now doth rise Whose towering gables reach the skies g Forth the clamoring throng doth go To see the evening ten-cent show. A young man steps before our gaze And says in pleasing, graceful ways: 't Dear ladies and kind gentlemen, I introduce to you Doris Diamond. H Forth there steps a human chunk Of operatic ire and spunk g She opes her lips and tries to sing, Her shrieks do through the audience ring. A thunder storm goes rattling by And harmonizes with her cry. l sought the fairy, but she'd gone, Scared away by the horrid song. l start to go g alas ! lfallg ln vain l loudly for her call. Down l go with hail and rain, I ne'er will go so high again. l now do see the woods below, My blood doth fast and hotly flow. Where am l now? Oh! sure l know, l'm on my bed of mosses low. -DEACON Commulzzcaiions. OVR DPZAR MIss FEE :- In reply to your query as to thepropriety of a young lady putting her hand in ,a young gen- tleman's pocket, we would say that it would depend entirely on the circumstances. But in the circumstances which you have stated we consider it entirely improper. Especially since the young gentleman's hand was also in the pocket and was minus a glove. Yours truly, BARRETT, Attorney at Law. CJUR DEAR Miss PEARSI-1 :- Yours of the 16th inst. received. In reply we would say that while you will hardly break the Deacon's heart, yet should you persist in your jollying you would sadly disturb his peace of mind for many years to come. RAI' 85 Co. BoNIIIE :ef A Your delightful letter received. I make exceeding haste to answer it, as usual. You must have had a great old time at the junior dance. The punch must have been good. Oh, yes, you asked me whether it was entirely wrong to drink all the punch before any one else has any. I have done it myself, but I really didn't expect you to follow my example. -as-Q DEITZ. MR. YARNICLLE :A- I received your letter. I know you must have had a good time at the ball, since you took L- F-. It couldn't be otherwise. But even if you have broken other girls' hearts you can't break mine. QUEEN ELIZABETH. Mv DEAR MR. BARROVV5 z - If, as you say, you prefer that whipper snapper, I wish you success. But I think it's real mean that you won't take Deitz's place while he is gone, even if you don't care for me. I have tried to be attractive, but if I have failed, I suppose I must bear it. Yours truly, BoNn, Matrimonial Agent. MIss SMITH :- In reply to yours of znd inst., we would say that parting the hair is most assuredly coming into fashion again. But we would like to suggest that you chose a more becoming color than green for a bow. A less conspicuous color would probably not amuse your fellow students so much. BEAUX.

Father had stayed home from the club that night and my older brother from the theater. Uncle Ned had come that day from his home in Louisville to visit us. His visit, as well well as the cold, perhaps, caused father's and brother's sacrifice, for a sacrifice it was, for either to stay at home. The fire in the grate, it seemed to me, never before looked so warm and bright. I could hear the wind howling about the corners of the house outside and wagons creaking as they went along. Within all was bright and cheerful. The family circle was complete for the first time in a long while. Dinner that night had been much better than usual on account of Un- cle Ncd's visit. This latter, perhaps, accounted mostly for the feeling of satisfaction. Uncle Ned was a great story teller. It wasn't long before he got to telling stories. Among them he told one about one of his High School escapades. I was in High School at that time, and I suppose the tale has clung to me longer than the rest for that reason. Here it is, as well as I can remember it. I cannot tell it as well as Uncle Ned did, but I will do my best : Long about 'o1, or somewhere along there, I was going to a High School down in Fort VVayne. I was a quiet sort of a fellow myself, but I got into a class in which there were a great many rowdies, There wasn't anything which they wouldn't do, just as long as it would disturb the peace of the community. Well, it wasn't long before I got to be as bad as the next one. It happened one week that we hadn't done a naughty thing the whole week. This would never do, so I decided to do something which would be naughtier than anything which had ever been heard of in the history school. I thought a long while, and at last came to the conclusion that about the rowdiest act I could think of was to put a flag on top of the school. It didn't make much differ- ence what kind of a flag it was, but just a flag. I found enough fellows in about two turns around a sapling to aid me in the execution of my plan 3 but the next thing to get was the fiag. At last we hit upon a scheme, There was a girl in our class with lots of class spirit QI guess that's what you call it nowj. She was always raising some sort of a class rumpus. It wouldn't be hard to get her to make a fiag, as long as it was 'og class flag. She was just what we wanted. Well, we got the Hag without any trouble. It was a Ucorker, tco. The next thing now was the fun of putting it up. The very next night at about twelve o'clock found me and about ive other peace disturbers down at the school trying every window. At last we got in. Up we went, out through the trap-door in the attic, and in about twenty min- utes the deed was done. just to make it interesting for the fellow who tried to take it down we smeared tar all over the flag-pole. Next morning we were down bright and early to wonder who the fellows were that did it. But what was this? VVhen we got down to the school, lo and behold the flag was gone, and the pole still there. Well, sir, you never saw six more dejected law-break- ers in your life. To make matters worse the girl who made the flag let the whole thing out. I didn't go to school for a couple of days. I thought it would all have blown over by that time, but I got it as bad when I did come as though it were the night before that we had done our neat trick. It w0uldn't hardly do to fail like that. 'We might have let it pass if every one hadn't found it out, but it would never do to let it go now. So we forgave our feminine accomplice her overflow of words and asked her to make us another one. She never even said that we were alot of bunglers, but went to work and made it. This one was about twice as large as the other one. It must have taken an awful long while to make it. This time we got up a telephone pole in the alley, and thence onto the building. A policeman saw us but he didn't say anything when we told him what we were going to do. VVe got the flag up all right, except that the letters were upside down. Then we smeared tar all over the pole again. This time one of the fellows pro- duced a hammer and nails and nailed the trap door down so that no one could get out on the roof. Then we slid down the telephone pole and found ourselves in the arms of another policeman. Again we explained it all. The next morning we got up and found ourselvs famous. There was a story in the morning paper about some vandals prowling about the High School, but were scared away by a policeman. Confidently expecting to see the flag waving over the old school, I hurried down town, but lo ! there it was again. The same old story-the flag gone. The pole uith its coat of tar was still there. I always suspected the janitor of taking those flags, but I never could swear to it. If it vxas he he must have had a pair of badly tarred trousers, or else he must have been the proud possessor of the Hrst airship, for we certainly did try our best to make it hard work for him. The Las! Czlkne of flze 19172 Cenfury. It was the time when tuTnult tilled the air, When streamers rode the breezes o'er the land, And towns were crowded almost everywhere With long processions headed by a band. Strife and envy dwelt in every mind. And party spirit drowned the nation's peace, Each side brought in all great men it could hnd To give its partyls power another lease. One day there rode into our mighty town One who as an orator had glorious fame, For lungs and mind he had great renown And to use these he to our city came. Clubs came from East and West and South and North To meet this wise fool marching down the street. So High School wished its members to lead forth And hence at the old school-house they did meet. Here Pandemonium reigned supreme as king. When night o'erall her starry veil had drawn The boys turned topsyrturvy everything Ancl held Indian frolics on the lawn. Ah ! Could the ruesome sport have stopped but here All would have been as well as e'er before. Then none would have had occasion for a tear, Or dreaded punishment which was in store. 'Tis said that Demons dwell in man's own soul, And not in some far place we oft call t' hell. 'Twas surelv so with those two boys that stole On high to take the clapper from the bell. For the stupid Deacon and his sober pal Ascended lofty steps that midnight hour. Sad iorebodings hovered over all As these two scoundrels stood upon the tower. Silence! Still and bid me tell no more About that awful crime done in the dark g Worse deeds by worse boys have been done before g We did nothing more than was our part. O tell us how our natures to reform, How to hght life's battle to a close, And we will safely pass life's wicked storm Till death shall lay our bodies in repose. An Episode in Bagdad. Scene: Bagdad. Lucifer jones's hut in the foreground g a figure is seen in the distance, evidently making tracks for Lucifer's house. General complexion of horizon is decidely stormy. Lucifer is sitting on a stool in front of his house. He has evidently been having his only shirt washed, for he is sitting in dishabille Qahl that last word looks nice, shows knowledge, too, doesn't it ?j and a shirt is hanging on the line outside. VVhen Lucifer sees the cloud of dust com- ing down upon his hut like a cyclone, he is heard to exelaini suddenly and with some abruptness, Why, bless my stars l if here does not come William Tailorgoose. He is doubtless after the pay for that last suit he made mef' From which we infer that Lucifer had forgotten to pay his last tailor bill Qhow careless men are ab wut these things li Thereupon he executed a double somer- sault backwards and disappeared through the door of his house. Meanwhile the irate figure of the tailor struttled with menacing footsteps through the des- ert sands of Bagdad, toward the object of his quest. And, meanwhile, too, the burning sun smote poor Billy on the back of the neck most unmercifully. Billy swore under his breath, i. e., we could not hear him swear, but knew he must be swearing, therefore he was swearing under his breath. He walked right up to the house that Lucifer built, and he said, said he, Ho, Lucifer I No response. Then again and louder, I say l I-ueifer l l'1n not home, you dunce, from inside the hut. But I see your only shirt on the line out here. This from Billy. How careless I am, to be sure. I have gone out without my shirt on. Then Billy swore a mighty oath and vowed that he would have the money for that last suit or a corresponding section of Lucifer's hide, This brought Lucifer to time. Oh, son ofa gun l he said. QN. B. This is merely eastern politeness, not as most car- nal minded persons imagine, an obnoxious epitheti Y0uS11all have all you want, he continued. Then, as if it were a second thought, he said: But, ali ! will you, take it now or wait till you get it ? Then arose straightway Billy's ire and having rolled up his sleeves and grasped hrmly his walking stick, he hurled a winged word at Lucifer. Lucifer replied in kind, and right nobly did those two mighty men contend. The conversation Qwe could hear only snatches of iti ran very much like this: Billy: -f' O, son of Ebenezer jones, my first patron, grievously wilt thou rue this day, if dost not pay me my price. H Voice from within 1 O, glad to hear it. And how's your father. Is your mother work- ing? Billy : - Quite well, thank you, and mother isk Didst thou mean to play a vile trick upon me, thou deceitful youth ? VVheie's my money P Voice from within 1 - Oh, you will feel better soon. But now, dear Billy, run along and sit on a tack, that's a good boy. Then Billy waxed exceedingly wrofh, and oaths flowed from his lips in a torrent, and each oath was stronger than the preceding one 5 and he swore by the beards of all the prophets he had ever known or heard tell about. Finally he made up his mind to enter fthis idea seemed to have first entered his mind at this time,j and force the impertinent Lucifer to pay him. Lucifer fwithin and aside :J-'f If Willy will to the water, Willy must take consequences, fl always pride myself on my ability to quote different autho's in the right place. J Then Lu- cifer went over to his cage of pet crabs and let them loose. Whereupon he took a hurried depart ure through the rear door. About this time Billy's wrath overcame all bounds and he bravely forced his way through the unresisting door, and entered. He heard taunts coming from some- where, he knew not where, such as these: How's your mother P Be a good boy, Billy. Goodbye. Oh, tell your mother she wants you. Meanwhile Billy continued his search, and having ransacked the house and found no Luci- fer, he was about to depart, thinking that it had been spirits that were talking to him. And he was frightened half out of his wits when he heard a loud taunt right under his nose, to-wit: Be- fore you depart, Billy dear, please put the room in order. He brought his stick down with con- siderable force in the direction of the sound, but hit nothing in particular and a large space in general. By so doing, ah l sad to relate, he stirred up all the evil passions which had lain dor- mant so long in those crabs, and they, vicious and evil-minded creatures, being no respecters of persons, nor even of parts of personls anatomy, seized hold of some choice spots in Billy's form. Then Blly, being sorely vexed, and likewise in a very painful state of mind, let out one whoop, which same was loud enough to wake the dead Howly sufiferin' smoke! 'Tis the divil, be jab- bers! he said. fThis exclamation he had heard an Irish trader use.j Then straightway and with a great deal of abruptness, Billy bolted. And lo ! a figure was seen to hurl open the doors of Lucifer's hut and hasten away. And even as it hurried along a merry Ha l ha ! floated out from Lucifer's hut, and followed the fast retreating figure of the thoroughly frightened tailor, as he sped on his way across the burning sands of Bagdad. A merry twinkle was observed in the eyes of the sun by the astronomers, but they knew not the reason for it, as they had not seen the episode. That evening as Lucifer lay on his cot, and tried to go to sleep, his donkey, Jonathan, stuck stuck his head in the door of Lucifer's house and whispered: Say, Luciferll' What P Lucifer said in a sleepy tone. Are you awake ? Yes.' What is a tailor who is perambulating along at the rate of 'steen miles an hour, with the hot sun beating down on him and a crab firmly holding on to his leg ? Don't know. Give it up. What is he, Jonathan ? A scorcherf' But what has the crab to do with it, jonathan ? Why, said the donkey as he got ready to run, that's the sticker, Lucifcrf' V -W gf 'if f if '02 and cz Half Class Poem. Perhaps you've never heard of us?

Damage W ill Amoun! lo a Prcdlglbas Sum. V ,JV-t.AAAA,,,a, fSpecial to Enautonj Dec. I.-Some time during the night the Iligh School building at Fort Wayne was struck by a storm. The exact nature of the storm could not be determined. No one witnessed the deplorable accident, nor were any other build- ing damaged by the storm. The janitor was the first one to dis- cover the awful ruin. When he unlocked the building this morn- ing to prepare it for the regular routine of business, he found an awful scene of ruin and devastation. Chairs were piled in the corners of the rooms in disorderly heaps, the blackboards badly marred with dishguring class numerals 5 teachers' desks were turned upside down and the papers extracted. The floors were littered with great heaps of rubbish. Papers were strewn all over the building. A close examination revealed the fact that the electric bell service was crippled almost beyond repair. Also that the pupils' books had been exchanged. The storm, or whatever it was, committed many queer freaks. In some mysterious manner it filled the piano with pa- per, but otherwise leftit unharmed. Although the interiorof the building was badly damaged, the outside escaped injury. The storm seemed to spend its fury on the two first floors, while the upper ones remained uninjured. The damage will be repaired as soon as possible and school resumed. The faculty rejoice to think it was no worse, but yet they do not long for another visitation.

George III, All or cz Lady. The scene of this little story is laid in the Southwestern part of England, away back in the year 17-, when our great, great, great-grandfathers were young men, courting their Sweethearts in silken hose and knickerbockers, with fierce moustaches on their lips, and swords hanging at their sides. VVhile as yet differences that arose between gentlemen were settled by the stern de- cision of the sword, and every gentleman was ever ready to maintain his love for a lady by sheath- ing his sword in the body of him who chose to gainsay it. In those days every man was an adept in the art of fencing, and my great, great, great-grandfather was no exception. For full many were the little experiences and adventures which those youths went through for their sweethearts' and consequently practice in fencing was never lacking. It is with one of these little adventures that the following story, which, by the way, I found among the papers left by my aforementioned ancestor at his death has to deal. He, too, was in love. But alas Y there were rivals for the fair hand of my Lady Fairfax, for my Lord Lansdowne, who was also a mere youth, was in love with her. It was out of such affairs as this that duels grew. But it will doubtless be more pleasant for the reader to peruse the account of this adventure in the words of the chief actor : I had long known that my Lord Lansdowne was in love with the same lady that I was. I had even received some letters from the lord to the purport that did I not cease to visit my Lady Fairfax, it would be the worse for me. But was I to be deterred from seeing the lady of my love by these vain threats, as I chose to call them ? The same evening on which I received one of them I paid another visit to my lady love, but took care to be well armed. And 'twas well I did so. I made my call and was safely started on my homeward course. My lady seemed very anxious as I set out, but I bid her be of good cheer. The moon shone down with a clear pale light, and everything in nature seemed at rest and sleeping, being fanned the while by gentle zephyrs, which sang a soft lullaby to the tree-tops. A spirit of peace came o'er me. I forgot earthly cares and tripped gaily along. Now my road en- tered a forest. Dark trees hedged it in on both sides. The moon's rays did not penetrate this darkness except here and there, where the tree-tops left an opening. There indeed the light came dom n, as the rays of truth break into the gloom of a sinner's heart. I saw a flicker of light. as of the moon's rays reflected from steel farther on in the forest, but I thought nothing of it, except that it was probably caused by a lightning bug, trying to light up the depth of the forest, which even the moon could not do. Truly, I thought. the little bug is undertaking an Herculean task. I had gotten as far as the darkest place in the road, and could now see light ahead, when suddenly a dark form arose from out the darkness and stood in my path, not ten paces distant. Other forms now rose and stationed themselves silently and slowly at the side of the path, and a deep voice called z H Halt Y Who dares to hinder the passage of a traveler on the King's highway ? I replied. H That concerns thee not, said the same voice, Advance and make no hostile movement, or egad ! thou wilt be the heavier by tive inches of good English steel I did not reply to this, but making as though I would advance, I suddenly dashed aside into the forest. A pistol shot rang out, and I heard a clear-toned voice call : 't After him, men ! H IVhen the men dashed into the forest I ran low and strong. The cruel branches tore my flesh, butI cared not. The pursuers were hot on my tracks. Suddenly and without warning, I burst out of the forrest, into a cleared place. Not far away there was a mansion, whose occupants had left on a visit, and I made for this. The front door was barred, but one kick of my heavy boot set it to shaking violently and another burst it open. I entered and going to the back of the building, I hid behind a screen. The search party with my Lord Lansdowne at its head invaded the old mansion. Nearer and nearer the searchers drew, until at last one of them thrust his head behind the screen which hid me. Then they withdrew to the front of the building. Inthc brief instant during which the head had been behind the screen, I had recognized the face of Lord Lansdowne, and knew that I was discovered. So I came forth from my hiding place and stood in one corner, until he should return, as I knew he would. For his spite could only be satiated by killing me himself, and what- ever else he was, no one could call him a coward. Ile had gone merely to dismiss his retinue. This was a fine place fora iight. I could not recall a better. It was in a long spacious hall. The carpeted floors prevented slipping. An old-fashioned eight day clock stood in one cor- ner ticking off the seconds as they passed to form hours. The hands, following the lonely circuit of the dial, marking off the hours as they passed to form days, years, centuries, pointed to the hour of ten. The pale moonlight streamed in at the window a flood of silver, giving all the light necessary to see by. Everything touched by it stood out in bold relief. The picture of the owner of this mansion hung on the wall. I could see every feature plainly. I-Ie seemed to be gazing at me with an ever-watchful eye. I could not escape with that eye on me, and what is more I did not care to, for I desired to settle this matter forever, and this was as good a place to die in as I could wish. Forsooth it was not pleasant to be hunted like a dog, and that merely because I hap- pened to love the same lady that my lord did. VVhat mattered it if I did make a visit to my Lady Fairfax? Inasmuch as I loved her and she loved me and did not love my lord, had I not a right? Why should he organize a party to intercept me on my road to-night, as if I had been a poor rab- bit, or some beast F Mary, I would show him that even the hare, when brought to bay, could fight. I would let him taste an honest man's steel. The idea never entered rnyhead that I would be killed, for I was a good swordsman. But so was my lord. I heard footsteps returning now, and presently my lord entered. As he stepped into the moonlight I could see that he wore a grimly sarcastical smile, and I bade him stop. H Did the brave boy, perchahee, see a mouse, that he hid behind the screen, he said in a singularly sweet-toned voice. His features were exceedingly boyish, and as he stood bathed in the silver moonlight, he was even handsome. Must I kill this boy, so young, so handsome ? 'Was it possible that there could exist between two boys a quarrel so deep-rooted as to require the life of one as its forfeit ? Then I thought of my wrongs. H Is a man who frightens at a mouse so formidable to you, my Lord, that you must needs waylay himi with a file of men ! I replied. I waylayed you to iight you g the men were merely to see that you did not escape, for I vow that to-night this matter must be settled. .But enough of that. Do you agree to give up all claims to the hand of my Lady Fairfax ? . i Never! Never while this hand of mine shall have strength to hold a sword,--never, While this heart of mine shall beat, will I agree to such an infamous proposition. Then die ' He bared his sword arm at the word, and bade me make ready. But I was already pre- pared, and my sword was itching to find a rest in his body. W On guard, said I, and we assumed our favorite fencing positions. From the beginning I took the offensive. Our extreme rage incited us to furious fighting, and feints, lunges, thrusts, followed each other in quick succession. The sparks flew from the rapily clashing blades in one continued stream. Now as the sword play took the path of a circle, a halo of fire was formed between us. Again, as the swords played from side to side, up and down, the sparks took the form of a fiery cross, which vibrated between us. No opening was left unguarded by either of us. No chance was given for a home thrust. Thrust as I would I could not touch him. His defense was perfect. Thus far I had forced the Hght, but now I relaxed my pace and let my Lord take the offen- sive. On he came with all the fury of a wild bull. His sword thrusts, glimmering in the moon- light like lightning flashes. I parried as by instinct. Once he feintcd low, and thrust at my heart. This I would easily have parried had I not slipped. As it was, I succeeded in turning it enough to one side so that it but grazed my skin. We commenced to sweat profusely. Great drops broke out on his forehead and his skin was all aglow with the exercise. He knew that he had met his match. The veins on his forehead swelled with anger till they looked like cords-anger at being frustrated in his designfanger at being beaten. Thrice did my point prick the pink flesh. By this time we were both panting, he 6SP6CiHl1y WSS weak. What with the fllrious pace we had set, and the loss of blood, he was in a bad condition. Now there was a lull in the Hghting,- as the lull in a storm just before the last furious outburst, and I saw that he was gathering up all his strength for the final effortafor life or death. Could I but withstand thisilast assault, I could see my way clear for love and a happy life there- after. Now his blows fast became stronger, he rushed the fight with all the strength born of des- peration, and I had all I could do to guard myself. His was a splendid exhibition of skill. Expert was written in every feint, in every lunge, in every parry. His footwork and management of his body also showed consummate skill. Twice I executed my favorite trick. I feinted high, and in- stantly my blade leaped at his heart, with a dangerous gleam. By a quick shifting of his body, he avoided the thrust. 'Twas a beautiful display of the farthest reach of the fencer's art. Touch me he could not. For while his attack was faultless, yet my blade formed an im- passable barrier between the point of his sword and my body. My lord rushed, nay hurled him- self at me again and again. I stood hrm. His-thrusts seemed tonguesof flame as they leaped to- ward me 5 my sword a glittering reflection of his as it met and parried them. How often, when his sword was within an ace of my body did my good blade intervene just in the nick of time. One miS'f2lk6, 3 Slip, H th1'USf, H feint, H Cut miSdirected in so much as an inch, andihe who made it would have been answering to his Maker in the next instant. The blows rained on our swords as hail falls on a roof in summer. As the hail does not break through the roof, neither did our swords break through the other's defense. NVhat a seemingly frail defense a sword is against a torrent of blows. Y et, when placed in the hands of an expert, it becomes a coat of mail. Our swords were inthe hands of experts. My lord's sword, formerly pressing so fiercely against mine, was weakening now. His sword arm was tired because of the fast and furious pace we had set and maintained. He himself was weak from loss of blood. My lips and throat were parched dry as timber under the burning rays of the midsummer sun. The end was near, when one of us must receive the fatal thrust, and, dying, give up his life for love. I summoned all my reserve force and pressed forward. My lord yielded ground. His' strength was all gone. I was about to rush the flght to a conclusion, and, as I well knew, a suc- cessful ending, when a flgure entered the calm splendor of the moonlight. Ye gods ! what a sight. 'Twas Venus come to earlh. The noble, beautiful face outlined most becomingly against the golden hair, the flgure formed in the best proportions of her sex, the whole strikingly outlined' against the dark green of the draperies through which it had passed, formed a body like to an angel's. My lord did not see her. For an instant I must have relaxed my guard, for my lord's sword flashed out. It was within my guard. I felt a burning sensation in my neck. I fell back- ward, and even as I fell, I saw a pallor overspread her beautiful face. For a fraction of a second I was stunned. Then I looked up. My lord was over me. His sword was at my throat. At the moment of success I had fallen. When about to grasp the palm of victory I had slipped. I Promise me, Ralph VVest, on your word as a gentleman, that you relinquish all claims to the hand of my Lady Fairfax, or your death is near at hand, my lord was saying in a harsh, dry' voice, and I knew that he meant what he said. VVith your enemy standing over you, his sword at your throat, and eternity hanging but on the speaking ofa word, you think quickly. But my situation admitted of no alternative. I could answer but one thing. I kissed my hand in token of farewell at the flgure in the moonlight, who stood as if paralyzed, and I thought she waved a kiss at me. Then I answered in as firm a voice as I could could command: I will not promise. Do your will. He raised his sword in a feeble, half-sorrowful manner, then fell over in a faint. I remem- ber nothing from that time,rfor I also fainted, until I dreamed I was in heaven, and the angels were gathered round me pouring sweet soothing ointments on my feverish brow. I opened my eyes to get the first sight of paradise and the angels, and I saw a kindly, beautiful face, half buried in a mass of golden hair, close to mine. It was not unlike a face I had known and loved on earth. Then I came to my senses, but I quite agreed with my dream, that what I saw was heaven. Lay still, dear, she said 3 you will be well soon. Then, as if anticipating my question, she said: He is merely weak from loss of blood, and will soon be well. I was ill, hovering between life and death for many weeks, during which my lady was ever by my side. And it was then that she promised to be mine. lVIy lord's wounds were slight and he soon recovered from them, and we became friends again. But never was that eventful night al- luded to. My lord had fought like a gentleman, and lost. And now I will tell you the story, as I had it from those sweet lips, of how the sight which caused me to be struck down, only to be raised to greater heights of happiness, came about. She said z On the afternoon of that day, as I was sitting at the window I saw dark streaks of blood across the western sky at sunset, and I knew not why, but I had a presentment that something awful was going to happen. So that evening when I saw my lord fully accoutred, and with a file of men following him, march down the road and disappear in the forest glades, my presentiment was strengthened. Then when you left my house, I begged one of the servants to accompany me, and Slipping out unobserved, I followed you as far as the forest. There I heard a loud command to halt, a pistol shot and saw a fleeing figure, followed closely by a band of men, dash into that man- sion. The attendants' going back, passed me as I lay hidden by the roadside, but one was gone of the number who had marched out, I knew not what it was that made me so far forget myself, but I followed you into that house. As I entered it, the wind played a sad tune on the treetops, and the appearance of the house looked gruesome. I feared foul play. Then I heard the merry clinking of the swords, and, guided by the sound, I went to the room where you were. Having left my servant on the outside, I entered. I was paralyzed at the sight that met my eyes, and re- mained so throughout the rest of the fight, which lasted only about two minutes. But Oh l dear, words cannot describe how glad I was when you opened your eyes. a 4 llZlllliIilL1!Il nv:- !q MW? x, A get uf X A P 90 is xx -...Nik I lxwexzgfi .M 43 5?Jf.g,, jf n QWN Pg 9, IH zwxin f -...J B N 5. x x r ,, ., ,I nl'-L 1 ' -v , X , , W' rf '1F!1i,L4,.
