JbRTRy. iSTAfF BRINGING DOWN FATHER Prize St()i Arden Pangborn Edgar Wallace was forcibly ejected from the office of Osmond Garth for two reasons. The first was that he was an only son, rich, and con- scious of it. The second was that he wished to change the name of a prominent Garth to Wallace. Not that Osmond ' s daughter Genevieve was not for marriage, for her father was perfectly willing that she become ued, when he could sanction her choice. This he did not choose to do in the case of Wallace, as Wallace had just so clearly found out. Osmond had a particular aversion to ready-rich young men, traceable perhaps to his own life. He had begun with but little money and worked his way into a secure position on Wall Street. Wallace had begun with a horde of money and worked himself into an insecure position in a couple of fashionable country clubs — no more. Now as Edgar stood outside the office door from whence he had just come, he rubbed his chin rue- fully and ruminated upon the malediction he had just received, du aren ' t fit to have any girl for your wife. ou might spend what money you have on her, but in case of accident you couldn ' t secure another cent by hook nor crook. our name isn ' t worth the amount of lead it would take to write it down. It ' s your money that has social standing, not you — and you didn ' t earn a cent of it! Edgar rubbed his chin again, and was tempted to open the door just to give a parting shot. He thought better of it, however, and instead withdrew one of his nicely engraved cards from his case and wrote on the back of it : Dear Sir: It will give me the greatest pleasure to show you that you err in your opinion. I trust I shall have the honor of proving your asser- tions apocryphal. And then — He slipped it under the door. He paused for a moment, undecided as to exactly what he should do next. In a fraction of a second the card was shoved out again. He picked it up curiously, and found on the other side in bold, black strokes : BAH! He puzzled to tliiiik of a suitable rejoinder, and unable to do so he started to replace the card under the door as a memento of the occasion. No sooner had he bent over, howe er, than his actions were cut siiort by the s itt opening of the door. .No more of this tomfoolery. Get out. Edgar dropped the card, hustled down the hall, and slid into an elevator that had stopped to ac- con-.modatc another passenger on the floor. With a sigh of relief he sank into the depths of the huge building. Ttvrlrr] T II E L E D a E R Tliai v. at line i lii i-|ulis Wallace came to the rrali .ation that he liad promised to prove false the statcmetits of Osmond darth. ' l he only satis- factory way of doinu this would he to put something; over on C]arth hims.lf. Kdtiar Wallace was facing a stupendous task. He checked over their respective armaments. The only thine which Garth had and he had not was a broad business experience; the only thing which he had and Garth had not was imagination. He had plenty of imagination — he was sure of that — in fact Garth had told him so when he had asked for the hand of Genevieve. It was to be a battle between imagination and hard headed business prin- ciples. Two days later (lartli received tlie following letter: Dear Sir: It may be of some interest to ()u that I have decided to wreck your business. Hoping ou are the same, I am, ' i ' our obedient servant, Edgar O. Wallace. A week passed and another letter appeared. It read: In case you are ever in need of expert ad- vice on business iiucstions we sincerely hope you will not overlook the offices of Edgar O. Wall.ice. These are soon to be opened on your floor, and we trust that w c shall have your patronage. VOu arc doubtless well aciiuainted with the t pe of business we intend to operate. Sin- cerely yours. The latter letter made Ciarth irritable for a whole forenoon, but soon after he forgot it. He was (|iiitc puintediv reminded of it again, however, when one morning he found on his way to his office a neat black sign on the door down the hall, Edgar (). Wallace, Hroker . He felt that Wallace might have been more truthful if he had had it printed Breaker , but he passed on hurriedly and slammed his own door so hard that it almost caused the word Garth to jump from its glass panelling. The following day he noticed through a door that had been left slighth ajar a corps of stenographers, clerks, and bookkeepers that would have put his own crew to shame. All were busily engaged, and the whole office seemed permeated with a spirit of industry and prosperity. After the first ten days this always busy office began to make him nervous. Not once since the business had opened had he heard of any transac- tion in which Wallace had figured, yet the people inside were alwa s at work, t ping records, or mak- ing entries in big books, and the door was always open so he could see. He began to worry. Perhaps Edgar Wallace did mean something by his threat to get even, to break him. He had no real faith in his opponent ' s abilities, yet the dread of the unknown made him ill at ease. On the inorning of about the thirty-seventh day he heard the voice of Wallace from within his private sanctum. The door was ever so slightly open — just enough that a iiuiet voice might be heard by an alert listener. Disregarding the fact that it is considered un- ethical to eavesdrop, he stopped. It seemed that AVallace was dictating a letter. Garth did not realize that this was the third time that Wallace had dictated that same letter for the benefit of no other person than Osmond Garth, nor did it occur to him that he was standing upon a mat beneath which there was a switch operating a microscopic buzzer inside the room. The letter read : . . . . And l ' urtlirr, I wnuld like to inform iu that Heti ry Eord is selling Coldspot Steel. This is not as yet generalK known, but will become evi- dent within the next few days. Thn)w all the Coldspot you have on the market for it is sure to take a tremendous fall when Ford ' s stock ap- pears T II E L E D a E R [Thirl. Garth luinicd on in :i luKl swfat— Ftird cinpty- infi Coldspiit Steel on the market. There was sometliint; wron ; with the stock. That meant a fortune; Garth held tun hundred thousand shares. He hurried to his office and studied tlie ticker. There was as yet no indication. He immediately placed ten thousand shares on sale. Durint; tiie past month Kdt;ar Wallace, through another broker, had been buyinj; Coldspot Steel from the smaller investors, until now he had ap- proximately a hundred thousand shares. It was well known that Henr Ford possessed four hundred thousand, and not nearly so well known to any but Wallace that Garth owned two hundred thousand. Eight hundred thousand shares were scattered over the Wall Street district among minor holders. Wallace immediately called up his broker. Throw every share of Coldspot on the market at once, he ordered. At eleven o ' clock Garth still feverishly pulling the tape frofn the ticker found that Coldspot Steel had dropped two points. Over a hundred thousand shares were on the market. He called one of his assistants. Empty Coldspot Steel, he ordered. The market was flooded. At noon the stock had dropped from 48 to 39 2 ; it fell steadily through- out the afternoon, M, 35, 34, 3334- The rumor became current ; Ford was the only owner who could throw so much on the market at once. There was something wrong with the stock. When the exchange closed in the afternoon there were seven hundred thousand shares for sale and the price was 32. Throughout the long day Wallace worked frant- ically. He borrowed to the limit of his credit from every bank where he was known. He mortgaged his home and lands; he even borrowed from his friends. When the exchange opened the next morn- ing he bought five hundred thousand shares of Coldspot Steel at 32. With electrifying suddenness the news spread. Someone was buying Coldspot Steel. Simultaneously there came a telegram from Henry Ford denying that he was selling. The price shot up again with lightning like rapidity. Wallace made a personal call upon CJarth early in the forenoon. I have a couple hundred thousand shares of Coldspot Steel, formerly belonging to you that I thought you might like to buy at par. The stock is good, and you ' ll only be losing $300,000. Garth groaned, Oh, Ell admit you bled me for plenty. I ' ll take back what I said about you, but you played dirty doing it. our work wouldn ' t stand the light of a court. Wallace smiled, ( h, by the way! he said politely, one reason that I came in person this morning was to find out why you so suddenly threw all your stock on the market. Ou must have had some tip. May I ask what? Ihen there ' s an- other little matter we did not settle before — Garth remembered where he got his informa- tion. Oh, you ' re clever, he exploded. You ' re too clever. . . . But you ' ll never marr - a daughter of mine. Wallace heaved a sigh. Well, that ' s settled. I was afraid you might want to sue me for breach of promise, just to get even. I am glad you feel that way about it. You know Eve sort of taken a lik- ing to the brand of gum my stenographer chews. Eve just made up my mind to ask you to be best man. Oh, you refuse? I am so sorry. Well, I ex- tend you a hearty invitation nevertheless. Here, here! Garth came out of his near-apo- leptic fit with a growl, You ' ve got no witness that I said that. I tell you I will sue you. Oh, in a case like that, Wallace returned with a bored air, 1 suppose I will have to marr ' Genevieve after all. Perhaps you will be so kind as to set the date? Fiiurlren ' ] THE LEDGER OLD ANTHONY SlEGFRIKD ROSKN Hello, I said to m friend tlu- druKRist, .after I had retiirncd from my journey. And where ' s Old Antlion) ? I asked in feigned anxiety. Aw, yu don ' t need to be a-tryin ' to ' pC ' if so troubled, squeaked a falsetto voice from lieliind a dirty (;reen curtain at the rear of the pharmacy. 1 know you ' re back an ' I ' ll be out in a jiffy ef you are reely a-dyin ' to see me so. I linked merrily at my friend, who grinned in return. We started a conversation, but were soon interrupted by a painful screech caused by the violent backward jerk of a dirty curtain, the rings of which plainti el traveled along its rusty iron bar. A tall, gnarled, v hite-ii.iired old man made his sudden appearance. His colorless face was narrow and his thin, sharply curved nose stood out as promi- nently as a tree stands on an otherwise barren field. His dull grey eyes were almost e.xpression- less and his lips were pale. His was the voice that had uttered those welcoming words in that strangely piercing tone. He concentratei! his ryes upon me and, having satisfied himself, advanced slowly. Can ' t even be alone five minutes without bein ' pestered and — well, why don ' t yu say something? he demanded (|uerulously. Don ' t yu know an old man ' s time is waluable? ' ' I ' ou didn ' t sa ' hello, after m - long absence, too, 1 said in apparent injury. I did. 1 said iiello. 1 said it five or six times. I ' member hearin ' me say it, he prevaricated. Hut 1 didn ' t hear you, I complained. Well, I ' ll do it again, then. Hello! he said grudgingly. Now, are yu satisfied? I nodded. Ef yu ain ' t iKitiu ' ng ' portant to sa 1 might as well go. I can ' t afford to waste m time, he piped insinuatingly, and then chalrically stalked awa . 1 heard the dirty curtain angrily jerk and the old chair into wlilcii he e i(leiitl had tiirown liiiii- self creakingly oiiject. 1 smiled at the druggist, who gravely regarded me. Probai)l he was mystified because I had not lost my temper at the old man ' s irascibility: prob- abh he was deliberating whether to impart a secret to me or not. 1 guessed the latter. Whatever it was, I saw that as he was in this mood of deep meditation, it was an opportune time to ask him something tiiat had long perplexed me. 1 first made sure, however, that old Anthony could not hear us. Vou once told me that you had hired Anthony about five years ago because you were badly in need of an assistant. Surely of all men, Anthony is the least helpful. He is exceedingh ' old and lament- abl eak. It is even inhuman to permit him to labor more than slightly. I know he is no relation of yours, nor has he a claim upon you. Why, there- fore, have ()u retained him this long? 1 did not need a man for manual work or I should not, of course, haxc employed him. All tiiat 1 rccpjired was a person to assort herbs, and as this was an e;is task I thought I might accom- modate him. Assort herbs! I exclaimed. He assort herbs? How incongruous! He can ' t see well enough to distinguish the differences between them and even if lie could discriminate cautiously, his trembling hands would not allow him infallibly to separate each from its fellows. His help, however sincerely given, would be obviously worthless. I stopped short. Suddenh a thought came to me that revealed e er thing. Oh! I see it now. ' ' ou are giving inm charity. ' V ' ou know that he would not accept it if he were aware of it. He is so haughty and takes such pride in being what he believes, independent. He once loftily boasted to me of that fact. Therefore, to i|uiet his scruples ou engaged him to do this and thereby alla ' an suspicion of his that he vas ac- cepting charitN. My friend blushed as guiltily as if he had been convicted if some great crime. He deprecated his action .iiiil sought to turn tiie subject. Mui I was nlidurate. Hasn ' t he any rel.iti es? 1 asked. es, he is contlnuousl disturbed b - a wealthy l.astern relati e whose conscience refuses to allow him to see an aged kinsman of his laboring for sus- (Continufft on Vugv . n Ponce de Leon ' s Search for the Fountain of Youth (Prize Poem) Siegfried Rosen A poor patlietic man he was, All broken down and feeble bent, Whose mortal da s were almost o ' er, Whose death was cruelly inaminent. Rut yet he had the common fear To leave this irksome place of care, In favor of some doubtful world Of which he knew not what nor where. He heard of some strange Indian myth: That somewhere in the Land of Truth, Unknown to white man, there existed A Fount.iin of Eternal Youth. He had tlie true adventurer ' s spirit: His age, like scales, from off him fell. He rose, consumed with seething fire, To find — and thus elude Death ' s knell. He sailed about Bahama ' s Isles, He sailed New Florida around, He sailed about the ocean wide. He sailed past many a forest ground. l nwelcomed by restoring founts, L ' nwelcomed by a second youth. Unwelcomed by astoundedness, Met only with that ugly truth — Old age returning, evermore; Inexorably dragging each Limb down till such a time As clawing Death should soon him reach. Discouraged, he returned home, To perish on his native soil; But there he found a newer clue. And came again, to search and toil. He sailed about America, Searching carefully as he went; He sailed about the Indies West; No second youth to him was sent. As weary as a wilting flower That knows full well its end is near. He lay upon his couch and prayed The tinkling waters yet to hear. Ah I Ponce, a foolish man thou wert, To cry against harsh fate, alack! When He that gladh ' gave thee life But merelv asked thee for it back. Sixlffiil THE LED (; E R THAT ROMANTIC AGE i ' .VlI. ' S N liARMHTTI.OR In till- hrrakfast room nf a smart lulunial man sion in a smart suburb of Ricliley sat Mr. Dennis, a stout, portly man of middle ajje, who was quite prominent in the business world of Richley ; Mrs. Dennis, a lar e lady of the same af:e, who tried to be very prominent in Richley ' s social affairs, and their flapper daughter, Celeste, a rather pretty jjirl of about eighteen. Well, remarked Mrs. Dennis, as she looked through the neat stack of mail that was b her platCj bere is an announcement of the enjia ement of Miss Alice Travers to Mr. Walter La Verne. As she said this she mentalK checked off Mr. La Wrne from her list of promising youn men for Celeste. Mr. Dennis merely grunted, hut Celeste turned pale, choked on a morsel of food and abrupth left the room, as her mother finished speaking. She went to her own room, where she threw her- self dow ri on the bed. It was a pretty room, fur- nished in Kay colors. A thick soft ruj; lay on the floor, and softK shaded lights were placed about the room and thin silk curtains fluttered in the breeze of that lazy Indian summer morning. Why, what ' s the matter with Celeste? asked Mrs. Dennis. Don ' t know, mumbled Mr. Dennis from the depths of his newspaper. He did not seem greatly concerned about his flapper daughter. Just then the door bell rang and the butler admitted a slen- der grey-eyed girl of about Celeste ' s age. There was a tiny hidden laugh in her wide set grey eyes, and a distinct charm about her made her a general favorite with people. Mr. Dennis ' greeting to her was warm, more so than Mrs. Dennis ' , because she recognized the girl with her beauty and charming manners as a dangerous rival for Celeste. Good morning, Jean, he said, did you just get back fr4)m the beach? We ' ve been home for about a week. If ()U should like to see Celeste you will find her in her room. After talking a bile, Jean left the breakfast room and ran up a broad flight of stairs and knocked at the door of Celeste ' s room. On receiv- ing IK) answer, she opened tile door and said, gaily, Hello, Celeste! . The still form on the bed did not move, so she crossed the room and sat down on the wide luxurious bed. Why, Celeste, child, what on earth is the matter? Still no answer, but something that sounded suspiciously like a sob shook the girl. Jean then lifted the dark, tousled, curly lie.id and s.iid in a motherly tone, Here, child, dr (iur tears and tell old Jean all about it. That w ill make you feel much better. Oil, Jean — Jean, Roger is engaged to that — horrid Alice Travers! The iiidden laugh in Jean ' s eyes now became very e ident and slie found it very hard to keep the laughter out of her voice, but she succeeded to say in a svinpathetic, gra e tone: Roger — oh, you mean — Roger La Verne, whom ()u inet down at tile beach — Mrs. Dixon ' s nephew; the one who found and carried ()u down the mountain when you sprained your ankle, and sent you flowers and candy when you were ill ; who said you swam like a mermaid and danced like a fairy. ' es, Jean — oh, I ' m heartbroken! He was aw- fully handsome. He had the keenest eyes. Oh, Jean, I siinply adored him! Everyone did. I was sure he liked me. I can ' t understand how that little empty-headed simp of an Alice Travers ever captured him! Oh! oh! this world is a dreary blank for me. There is no other man in this world for me! With this she buried her face in Jean ' s arms. Jean smiled a knowing smile, for she knew Ce- leste rather well, and knew that these outbursts were not infrequent. Vhen she could control the merry laugiiter in lier voice, she said in a very tragic tone, Ob, wliat a cruel world! Listen, Celeste, Nou ' d better get in some decent clothes, liecause Hoii and TerrN are coining up for a set of tennis. What, Jean, not Terrx Delainl, that boy whose folks moved into the great new white iiouse on the hill? All tile girls are wild about him. Hurry, Jean, iielp me get into this new sport suit. Don ' t ()u think it is becoming? Hurr . Jean, if he ' s com- ing I must look nice. r H E L E D a E R [Seventeen LOOKS ARE OFTEN DECEIVING ' iRi;i i V ' i (.iii;ll S;i ' , Slim, vlipte ,i ;;i iir? itskcil Freckles of his chum. To tlu ' (ilil mine. .iniia j;() loii;;? Sure, justa miiuitc. Soon the pair were on their way to the deserted coal mine — a place thc ' IkuI no ri lit to enter. But they were just boys and in search of advcTiture, at that. On their arrival the looked carefully around to see that they weren ' t watched; then, with a hur- ried scramble, they were inside. O-o-f! firoaned Freckles. Wiio ' ve I run into? Say, j;uy, lay off! It ' s me — Fred! Oh, 1 bejj your pardon — this respectful!) ' from Freckle?. He recognized the voice of the preacher ' s son, the toufihest kid in the xillage. Whatcha doin ' in here? This question simul- taneously from both. Just lookin ' ' round. Come along, answered Fred. The three scamps wandered around for about an hour, and didn ' t realize that they were lost until they tried to find the entrance. At first, they all put up a bold front — Freckles was the first to break down, then Slim. Fred was hard-boiled for about an hour, then sudden ' y startled his com- panions by dropping on his knees and praying — something like this : Oh, God, please let me get home! I — I — Fll never be bad any more. What ' ll my mama do? O-o-o-o-o-o, hut it ' s dark — pie for supper! Ah-h-h ! I wanna go home! What ' d I cvcr-r come here fur? Oh, please show us the way out! Fll not play hookey any more. My dad ' ll pray for me, too. God !— oh ! oh! oh! 1 wanna git outa here! Help! Help Help Help! He wa; finally hys- terica! — scared stiff — so to speak. During the course of this prayer. Freckles had wandered ahead about fifty feet. A triumphant ell startled the other two into running. Their pal had discovered the exit from tlie old mine. As soon as they were safely out and used to the strong light, Fred turned on his friends with clenched fists and his noted ' ' fighting mug on. Say, you two kids keep mum, he growled. If you ever dare tell anybody I got ' soft ' in that mine, I ' ll knock the daylights outa you! ) know 1 can. Now, shut up — remember!

If the bah hatl been born at any other time, it would have been named juiui, or William, or any of the tiood old wornout names. Hut instead it was attached to the terrible caption, Archibald Marmaduke Jones. Pa Jones was disgusted with his better half. Imagine me — me — with a bab named Archibald Marmaduke! he groaned, as lie tried to seek an explanation for Ma Jones ' absence of brains. Oh, shut up! said Ma Jones. What are you croaking about, anywa ? I ' ll bring him up the way I want, and ()u can leave him alone! V ' es, you ' ll bring him up. I ' ve got an idea how you ' ll bring him up. Nice new Kauntleroy suit, cute little golden curls and pretty little white and pink shoes and stockings. Ugh! Get out of here, you brute. How dare you talk that way about our iddums cutcms pinky-pink toesics! Siie turned to tile baby, and started cod- dling it. Ciood-night ! More groans and Pa Jones went out on the porch and made the air blue for about five minutes. Archie, at home, was treated like a prince. But outside it was different. Archie had turned out the wa Pa Jones had predicted — a sissy — and he was treated by his schoolmates accordingly. But, of course, just as Ma Jones had taught ii. ' m, he held his nose in the air and did not conde- s end to look upon an who dared approach him. TIk- effect of . Ia Jones ' teaciiing was beginning to tell on the boy. He was becoming snobbisii. And P:i Jnncs, w iiat cnulii iu ' do? He just sat and groaned Iw ' hind iiis newspaper during tiie even- ings and listened tn Ma Jones indulge in the gentle art of inventing new pet n.imes for Archie. He had resolved not to interfere, but he was slowly be- coining disgusted «ith his wife ' s metiiod. When are you going to teach the little dear how- to make up the beds and darn m socks? he asked, sarcastically. All Ma Jones b.id to say was .Shut up! and Pa Jones shut up. It was about this time that Pa Jones ' mail began to get heavier. He received a long brown folder twice a week, and promptK retired with it to the attic, and for the next half hour Ma Jones would hear him jumping around and punching something. She didn ' t know just what it was, and Pa Jones wouldn ' t open his mouth on the subject. It isn ' t good for Archibald ' s constitution to lia e all that noise going on, she remarked at the table the first evening of the mysterious proceed- ing. Bail! replied Pa Jones and went on eating. One day wiicn Archie was about eleven years old — the stage in liis life where he was wearing a shiny, stiff collar and a big bow tie. Bill Graham happened to tease him a little more than usual. Living up to iiis mother ' s teaching, he promptly marched in and told the teacher. Coming out of school tiiat afternoon, he met Bill at tile corner and, with an ugly look on his face. Bill muttered, Here ' s w licre 1 ciiange your complexion, (iu little sissy. He grahiicd Arciiie l) the arm and puiicd iilm into an alley, wiiere lie proceeded to muss him up con:.iderably. Fifteen minutes later Archie slowl - eased iiim- self up the front steps of iiis home, and dragged into the kitchen. Ma Jones looked up, and promptly dropped her jnrn Tnd ih? pan which she was iiolding. What happened to motlier ' s little darling boy? slie cried, as she started toward iiini. Tell mother what happened. Archie told iicr as well as siie could, considering the puffed lips lie iiad lately acipiired, hi!e his motiier wasiied him .irid applied a iieefsteak to his black eye. Pa Jones came home for dinner to find his son sitting on Ma Jones ' lap, eating a piece of pie. Pa Jones was a sorrv-looking spectacle himself — his face scratclied up, iiis nose still bleeding ami his right eye swollen. Ma Jones shrieked, and cried, '  ' ou, too! What ' s the matter? THE LEDGER [Sini ' tfi-n Pa Jones didnt ' answi-r lior. It seemed to be too much tor him to look at his son. Fie promptly started cussing, loosing every swearword he had stored up, since Ma Jones started to train Archie. Why 1 let you do this for is more than I can see! he shouted at his wife, who cowered hack against the wall. He turned to his son. Come with me, he said, and stalked out of tiu- room. They went up to the attic, where Pa Jones pumped Archie for all the details of the fight. Well, he said, I guess it sure is time for me to take a hand in this. Now, listen to me. Yau just forget everything your mother ever taught you. See? I ' m going to teach you from now on. See my face? Well, I was in a fight today, too. Bur I didn ' t stand up and let the other guy soak me. ou saw all those envelopes that came to the house, and you heard all that racket upstairs. Well, that was me, learning how to box, from a correspondence course. Now, you ' re going to learn how to bo. , too. I cleaned up that fellow today, and there ' s no reason in the world why you can ' t do the same thing to Bill Graham. We ' ll begin right here. And he took Archie over to the punch- ing bag in the corner. V ' he Ma Jones learned about Pa Jones ' inten- tion, she exclaimed : ' ou ' re not going to teach m baby how to fight! She shuddered at the thought of her darling little pet stooping so low. ' i ' ou can stop right there. I ' m teaching the boy now. I ' ll make a man of him. Vou ' ve had your turn, replied Pa Jones, and walked out of the house. Three weeks later Archie was subjected to more teasing b Bill Crahani. lie ininiediately started to roll up his sleeves, at which the boys began laughing. Just imagine the sissy tr ing to fight! Hill (iraham smiled confidently, while Archie gritted his teeth and tried to remember the things he was supposed to do, according to the boxing in- structions. Bill, attempting to inject a little comedy into the affair, started to wind up. Before he was half through, a sledgehammer had landed on his nose. Another promptly settled on his ear, and then Archie started punching with startling rapidit . each blow landing effectively. The bell interrunted the fight and the pupils slo l walked away from the scene of activity,, remarking among themselves about Archie ' s prowess. That night Archie indulged in his first cussword. As he threw his blue silk nightgown out of the win- dow, he stubbed his toe on the dresser. With much vigor he said, Damn! w-hile his father out- side the door smiled and said softly: ' our mother named you Archibald Marmaduke, but I guess you ' ll live it down.

Kiitli! 1 just lallfd villi to say that Jack Mandoik riiti-ri-d Clcvi-laiul Hiuh and that he is in my science class. Really, 1 understand now why all your nirl friends fell for him. He is all that you descrihed. His hlack hair and c cs; his independent air; his polite way; his kind actions; his broad shnuldcrs, and his earnestness have surely made me like him. Oh! Ruth, I never thoutjht that I could like a lioy as well without first meet- inn l im. Well, Hcttv, answeri ' i! Kuth, don ' t let liiin think that you care for him. Act independentlv, by all means. Just remember that he thinks he can have any K ' rl lie wants. Thanks for the advice. 1 will show little Jack that Betty is one ii r that he can ' t have; but, oh, it will be hard ! sighed golden-haired Betty. As this conversation was ko ' iK between Betty and Ruth, strange to say, a similar conversation was being carried on between Jack Mandock and his friend Bob. All right. Boil, 1 will tr and Jo as you say, but 1 will ba e to take a look at her once in a while. She is the first girl that 1 have thought much of. 1 am sure that she has some good com- mon sense, although she does look rather dollish. The next day Bctt pranced into science class with a brand new marcel, while Jack had a bit more Glo-co on than usual. Bett_ , to the delight of Homer Wells, the horned-rimmed sissy of the class, talked to hiin all period. Jack, in order to show that he was not interested in her, talked to the black, curly-headed girl to his right. And so this pretending business went on, with only sly, quick glances at one another. The football season had arrived and still Jack and Betty were at the same little g;une, with neither one gaining. The black, curly-headed one received all of Jack ' s com- pliments, and in return cllcd for him at the games until Bctt - could have scratched those black eyes out and torn that curl head to pieces without feel- ing one bit sorry. On the other hand. Homer received all of Bettv ' s attention, and in return showed so much ownership of her that Jack could hardly resist the imme?)se pleasure of punching that high-held nose. Bob could not understand h his advice did not work. Funny thing, he told Jack. It really is a funny thing. But Jack could sec nothing funny .■i!)out it, .uu! said as much in a very few words. What I can ' t figure out, puzzled Jack, is why she picks on that mud-faced Wells. H 1 hadn ' t taken your advice, all would be well, but I have gone too far now to fall back on myself. I ' ll just have to make the best of things. Cheer up! I ' ll ask Ruth ' s advice. ' ou know Ruth is Betty ' s chum. While on the other hand, neither could Ruth understand why her advice had not brought the proper results, and even if her ad ice had failed, there was Bett ' s big blue e cs. and her short, fluffy, golden hair that usually worked wonders. No, said Betty, as she gazed into the mirror, it is no use. Perhaps if my hair was black and kinky like Harriet ' s, I would have better luck. The deciding championship football game was drawing near. The Cleveland and the Park high schools had neither one dropped a scuffle. Their game had been the last scheduled, and now prom- ised to be the hardest fought one of the season. Every one was talking football. Jack listened with admiration to the conversation about football be- tween Betty and Homer. It isn ' t many girls that know as much about sports as Bett , Jack informed Bob. She is a regular girl. 1 would gi e anything to have her yell for me at this coming game tomorrow, but instead she will sit up there on the grandstand and let pie-faced Homer feed her peanuts. Bah! The important da had arrived. The grandstand was overflowing with rooters. Betty ' s jazz cap was set at a sharp angle on her head. At her side was as usual the devoted Homer, already shelling peanuts. Just as he was ready to pop a peanut into his small baby mouth, Betty gave him an tmin- tended slap and screamed above the uproar: r 11 E L K I) a E R [ Ttveiity-one Hcri ' tlu ' ) v. imi ' , Udmci! Oli, if wc only win! After ;i hrit ' f warming up, the captains tossed for the kiikoft. Cleveland won. They formed, and as the whistle blew Jack sent the ball soaring far into the en. ' my ' s ground. The Park hish school boy received the ball with open arms and started a rush down the field, dodi ing and duckinu the onslaught. A groan escaped the Cleveland punil ' s lips. Park high had a clear field now. Surely they could not stop them from getting a touchdown. Oh, there was hope! A Cleveland boy had sud- denly gained the head of the rushing mass and was quickly making the ground between him and his opponent diminish in size. Crash! Down tlic two came. The ball rolled on. There! Cleve- land ii:ul covered it. A great shriek of jov was heard. But now it was gasps and groans. For w as not Jack, the boy who had stopped the enemy, being carried off the field? A sob came from Betty ' s lips. Bob and Ruth, who were sitting behind Homer and Betty, heard it. Say, whispered Bob to Ruth, maybe our ad- vice is going to work, after all. Sh-h! answered Ruth, don ' t let her hear us. 1 do hope that Jack isn ' t hurt much. After the game we ' ll go out to his house and see him. And, exclaimed Ruth, we can take Betty, but don ' t tell her where we are going or she will never come. .As tile game d ragged to a close, or it seemed to drag to Betty, Cleveland was at the wrong end of a 7 to score; and so it stayed until the gun an- nounced the end of a sad contest for the Cleve- landites. The crowd filed out — some down- hearted, and others happy. Ruth tapped Betty on the shoulder. Betty, won ' t you come out to m place and sta - all night? Mother and Dad won ' t be home cntil late this evening, and 1 don ' t like to be there alone. ' ' es, I ' ll come, responded Betty listlessly. Oh, helin, Hob! 1 (iidn ' t know that you were here. Oh! es, 1 came to see Jack pla ' . Rotten luck h-, ' iuid. Poor kid, he is gettitig bumped all around. Humped ail around? inquired Betty. What do you mean? eil, answered Hob, you see, he is gone on a little blond in iiis science class, but she seems devoted to a bo by the name of Homer Wells. He won ' t speak to her, as he thinks she doesn ' t care for him. Oh, but I do! blurted fietty. Oh, no, I didn ' t mean that! Oh, dear, Ruth, I have spoiled everything! Come on, let ' s go home. No one spoke as Bob stopped his car in front of a bungalow. I ' ll be back in a few minutes, girls, he said, as lie jumped out of the car. I have a bit of business to attend to. Up two steps at a time he sailed, and as the door opened in he went. Jack, very pale and shaky, was lying on the davenport. How do you feel, old man? was Bob ' s greet- ing. Pretty well. Do you feel well enough to cheer up a down- hearted girl? I can ' t cheer any girl up. Oh ! es, you ' ll do nicely in this case. You see, tin ' s girl — explained Bob as he stroked his chin in a manly fashion, likes a bo ' in her science class, but she thinks that he likes Harriet Handford. She won ' t make any attempt to get acquainted, as she thinks that the boy should speak first. Bob! shrieked Jack, do ou mean that? Is FJetty here? How did you manage it? Bring her in quick! All right, answered Bob, as he opened the door. Oh, Betty! he called, come here, will (Continued on PaKC 48) Txvn,iyiu-o] T II E LED G E R The Ballad of Mv Hcatino; Stove H l I, MlLl.l.R • At times ()iir cu-s like devils do dance To the tune (it ()iir crackling fire, And anain they dart rifiht to the heart As a woman ' s lien roused to ire.

Li;:lit- fin(;ered lassies with hands sw iftcr than a waiter ' s eye, they never leave a place without taking somc- thinj; awa to remember it by. I Iy best fjirl once contracted this horrible habit and whenever I was ' i her 1 was used as a re- cipient for her ' it ' icrinf s. I ' d find myself going away from a restaurant with a menu, a spoon, a demi-tasse cup and saucer, and even a lemon squeezer. Nothing seemed to phase her, from a salt shaker to a flower vase. There was no line of distinction. H she looked at anything on the table twice, I knew it was as good as gone and we would be there until she could get it. One evening I was sitting beside her in a restaur- ant and when the waiter ' s back was turned she frantically shoved a cold spoon with ice cream on it down my neck. Of course the expected hap- pened ; the cream melted and ran down my spinal column. When the waiter turned around again, the e.xpression on my face must have looked like a signal of distress, for he immediately offered me a bottle of cholera mixture. The combination of Jamaica ginger, red pepper, and tobacco sauce burned my throat, but I tried to pass it off. With the ice cream running down my back and the chills running up, I did not succeed. One afternoon she arranged for a supper and the opera after. That evening I put on a swell-cut outfit, one of these with a false shirt front. We went into a highbrow restaurant and when we were almost finished she suddenly decided she wanted the platter. I knew by her eyes it was coming; but I was hoping the waiter would take it away before she found a place to put it. He was too slow as I realized when 1 felt the platter go between me and the shirt front. I tried to look natural, but the platter was hot and perspiration burst forth upon my brow. The man sitting next to me pulled a thermometer off the wall and wanted to take my teni|ier.ilurc, but I told liim to take ni life insteail. W ' iien the proprietor arrived on the scene, he asked me if I couldn ' t take something for my malady, but I told him I «ould be ashamed to take anything more. The doctor came and asked nu- if I had a cold on my chest. I told him 1 xiiuKl have as soon as it cooled off. He then wanted to sound my lungs and before I could stop him he hit the platter with his knuckles and the cracking of it could be heard all over the room. I cut a prettj ' figure then. The proprietor pushed forward and asked if he should call an ambulance, but the doctor told him to call a policeman in- stead. It cost my girl twenty-five dollars for a two- bit platter that she never got. One evening as we were walking down the street, she wanted to go into a Chinese noodle restaurant; so I had to take her. We went up and I had a nice time trying to wash down a lot of Chow Mien with a cup of tea the size of a canary ' s drinking cup. I was enjoying myself about as much as a kitten with paper tied on his front feet, when I saw that dangerous look that meant there was something on the table that she had taken a fancy to. She thrust a pair of chopsticks and a tea cup into my pocket just as the waiter came up. I paid the bill and rushed her for the door as fast as I could. When we reached the street I turned around and saw the man pursuing us. I immediately came to the conclusion that he had seen the chopsticks sticking out of my pocket. 1 waved violently at a passing taxi, but before we could gain shelter of its four protecting sides the waiter overtook us. I had visions of saying Good morning. Judge, and you can never imagine my relief when he held out a daint piece of linen which I recognized as a handkerchief. On the way home I saw her e eing the meter and knew she wanted that, too, and believe me, if I could have reached it for her, I would have done it! 3 n itliMnn riant KLNNETH KNOX r H E L E D a E R [TiVfiily-fivi- a im rk dlAlOWiaC, Ass.Id..

' lact — the seed from which sprouts personality — is an art — the art of savinu or doitij; the one tliinn which will appeal to the lar :est number of people. It bcKcts friends, and friends bcuct fame, wcaltii, honor, and position. The manager of a million dollar firtn must be a m riad of men; he cannot be himself. He cannot approa.h the capitalist and the machinist on the same terms. He must be the person to whom he is talkint;. He must be able to find a common meet- ing ' round with everyone with whom he comes in contact. When amidst a [;roup of people of dif- ferent stations in life, different tastes, and different amusements, he must find the one tliinj: which is nearest to the hearts of all. ' I ' he man with tact is always considered broad- minded — at)d that is the ke to the problem of per- sonality. Tact is not a ift of the K I . !i ' so often imagined. Some persons cultix ate it much earlier than others — ipiite unconsciously — and still others ne er cultivate it at all. The) t;o throuKh life railing at their star of ill-fortune that they are so unpopular and without any power of attraction. To cultivate a pleasinj; personality takes time — inore time for some than for others, because many do not know exactly what the wish to cultivate. It is absolutely imperative that the man with per- sonalit have tact, and that the man with tact have a broad and stable foundation upon which to draw at a moment ' s notice. This does not mean that personality is a studied, iron-bound, pedaj;oKical set of rules, a scale with which one must weiy;h each word that he utters — or fail in his purpose. However, if one who knows of nothinj; but al zebra, meets one who knows of notluii}; but foot- ball, will not their interview be fatiguinf; to both? On the other hand, if one who is intensely in- terested in algebra, but who also knows somcthinji of footb.ill, meets one who takes exceptional in- terest in football, but is also acijuainted with alge- bra, and the one w ho is interested in algebra is wise enough to talk about football, and the one who is interested in football is wise enout:h to talk about algebra, the two will part mutually gratified with the spirit of companionship formed. The logical starting pl.ice for cultivation if this power is high school, for here there are always numerous activities and varied interests that afford great opportunitv for participation. The thing then for the high school student to do is to try to become ell-bnlanccd. He should endeavor to be- t(]nic neither a book worm, nor an athlete who has neglected his brains to develop his brawn. Personality partakes of the form of flattery, not the outright personal kind, but a more subtle, more likeable flattery — that of being interested in the things that the one with whom you are associated is interested in.

In the past, lack ot material was alwavs a ilrawhack; liut this spriiij;, with seven lettermen on deck, the baseball outlook was indeed bright. Everyone predicted a successful season, only to discover that it would be impossible to secure a rejiular practice field. Coach Villiams made the best possible arranfjements and set about to build a formidable nine. And it might be said that he succeeded in his efforts. Carl Bftiiidry — Capt., CF. — Cahl covered outfield with great efficiency. His work with the willow often aided in scoring needed runs. He was chosen captain and showed his right to that honor by his expert managing of the squad. Rtiy Dehchneider — RF. — A hitter with few weaknesses was the term given Boob by the coach. Low, wide, or high balls looked alike to him. He also possessed a good eye for fly balls. He will be back next year. Chester Beiiz — LF. — Unknown for any athletic prowess, Haz came out for baseball and was not long in becoming a regular. H more of the fellows had the courage to compete against lettermen, per- haps many diamonds in the rough, like Chet, would be uncovered. Ludu ' ig Harlung — RF. — The way Ludy chased flies disproved the accepted belief that wood- en shoes hinder speed. He would often complete seemingly impossible catches. His timely single in the Lincoln game turned expected defeat into sud- den victory. James Milan — 3rd — This was Dopey ' s initial season under the big tent and be performed cred- itably for a newcomer. He had uncanny ability in knocking down hard drives and throwing tlw rutuier out at first. Next year should find jim scintillating on the school nine. .Ixel Petirsun — Catcher — A man either goes back or ahead in athletics is the saying of Mr. Wil- liams. The showing made by Grease this vear clearly demonstrated the truth of this fact. A weak catcher last year, he developed, by means of hard work and a great deal of thinking, into a stia(l and reliable receiver. ); ' (lalldii — 2nd — Playing his second year of varsity ball, Billy, aided by the experience gained last spring, showed w-ell at the keystone sack. His skill in hitting ' em where they ain ' t — proved con- stant worry to the opposing teams. He has another season to play. Ediuard Cheney — SS. — That a man can star in more than one sport was clearly shown by Gvp s performance on the diamond this year. He was chosen by many as the leading shortstop of the league. Don MeLeod — 1st — Don ' s dexterity in covering the territory around first base was one of the high lights of the season. His incessant cavorting dis- concerted many a runner causing him to be caught flat-footed off the bag. As infield captain, ALac with his constant chatter gave added impetus to the playing of his mates. Morris Levoff — Pitcher — The unusual feat of winning a letter in his Frosh year, was accomp- lished by Moco this spring. He entered from Shattuck with a good pitching record and lived up Thirl y] THE LEDGER to all ailvaiK-i ' dope. With the experience gained this year, he should pro c a star liiirlfr next season. Sam IvfSftii — Pitcher — Cannon-hall is the easiest way to define the hooks and slants of Lefty Iveson. With no big league experience Sam assimilated baseball readily and was always cool under fire. He will he out for the pitching berth again next year. John ff ' tiltiT — PitiluT — Hecausc he showed un- known t.ilciit, the cognomen Dark Horse was tacked on to jawhn. He was ainong the first out and was always willing to pitch during batting practice, a hard job with little glory. He also roamed the outer gardens occasionally. He should be a regular next year. At the game, the yell-leader shouts Three for the team. The multitude, with eyes on the play- ing field, will respond vigorously. Wlio are thev yelling for? The team. But their conception of the team is the nine men playing. That is a wrong point of iew. The team is not composed of only actual participants. A large portion of the ictories can be traced to the second stringers. As competition begets perfection, the scrubs are an im- portant factor in the success or failure of any ball club. ' I ' his year ' s Yannigan squad was composed of the following: Morris Overback, Maurice Gold- foot, Kenneth Althouse, Howard Van Wagner, Philip Wilson, Max Breslow, Max Allara, Her- man Bernadelli, Cecil Ackley, Kli Greenwood and Hvn GiiJick.

That forty cents an hour pays for those forty- five minutes of hard work spent each day for ten weeks on that necessar piece of niachiner in room 21 — the adding machine. The Blotter, we know, is by the students, of the students, and for the students. ' I ' he Blotter staff sees to it that it ' s by the students. We see to it that it ' s of the students, and we also see to it that it ' s for the students — we insist upon reading it; but it takes the youngsters in room 21 to print it! qc verso ro CallarL. 24 I M?

L,ist week 1 took iier to a movie that she had particularK ' wanted to see. 1 w;ls enjoying the picture «hen she nudged me and said she was go- ing. I tried to talk her into staying, but she in- sisited; so hat could I do? ' c went! All tiie way home on the street car she kept talking to me about taking her to a show without asking her first if she wanted to go — that ' s the way it goes. I took her to a dance the other night. In the intermission we found two seats, and I was just getting nicely settled when a boy went by carrying a dish of ice. Immediately she wanted one to. 1 looked despairingly at the lone line of males try- ing to get a dish of ice for their girls and I hero- ically plunged into the mass. 1 reached the front just as the last dish was being taken. I fairl - grabbed for it, and thank fortune, I got it — and ,1 sliove in the back. On the way back 1 was stopped tuii or three times by old .school friends, and after exchanging notes with them, I final!) reached my destination. By that time the ice was melted and she had changed her mind and didn ' t want any — that ' s the way it goes. 1 asked her to go for a ride on the street car. She wanted to stay at home. When I was reconciled to staying home, she decided that she would like to ride after all — 1 had changed my mind — we wa ' ked — that ' s the way it goes. m I ' ltrty-twn] T 11 E I. •: n C I: R The Difference Between a Student and a Pupil ' .; . iriuil ' J ' iry Like. ji-ssi- j ami ' s IJcMik Flint ball Sport CiMnnasiuin Study School teacher Life work Casino 1 luMler Jazz .Mu ic Whiz Haiij; Humor Leilt;er Magazine Siiitliiii.
