Crashes ' e . t GQ to chapel, and I see EV.. 1 fix . Aj The d1ff'rent crushes there. X ,g if XX'hat is a crush, do you ask me? iii: 'W And why we have them here? U M L3 A Y A ! i l u , XYell first l must tell you the truth- They cannot be explained. Theylll be found where'er there's youth, And are ofttimes but feigned. But l will venture just a few, And look to you for aid, If they my message misconstrue, And on me make a raid. Now who were crushes here this year? XYell now that is quite broad, For while they really might not care. To tell it might be fraud. V The first l noticed they were these, Dear Neta and her Ed. They seemed each other well to please, To others wholly dead. But then I must correct myself, Since they led not the band, For Lula hrst, the little elf, Made Mattieys heart expand. When Carrie Lou came on the scene, Edith felt her heart beat. To win her love she well did mean, For she thought her so sweet. fggffgzllsgiixx QQQWEEEEI W 4- ,pA a....-wg 6 FIF7 YKSIX Of course, when you see Blanchie small Nell you are sure to see, Perhaps not far along the hall, For near to Blanche is she. Now Sadie with her winning ways. Soon captured Gracie C. And ere there had passed many days. Another crush we see. Then lda, in commanding way, Took Gladys to herself. ln spite of what the others say, She put Ed on the shelf.

immediately the injustice done to the Malcolm home. - She repeated to herself over and over, Do unto others as ye would that men do unto you. Finally, she confessed to Daego and the preacher her thoughts, and asked them if Lucile should not be sent home. She remembered that Marguerita was the age then that Lucile was when kidnapped. The preacher advised her return, with a true confession to her and. her parents. Daego was willing. The minister expressed an earnest belief that God would spare their child if they asked Him to, after having made restitution to the Malcolms. Daego and Cloe called Lucile to them. They explained all, telling her how much they had come to love her. Lucile graciously forgave them, and vowed ever to love them, even though they had wronged her. Her clothes were hastily packed. She, with Daego, boarded the next train for Mount Forest. It was easy for Colonel and Mrs. Malcolm to forgive, since they had their daughter there to plead for and bespeak her love for her Gypsy father and mother, as she called Daego and Cloe: then, too, they had the love of God in their hearts. Upon hearing the story of Margueritais illness, they requested that Daego let them pray with him for her speedy restoration to health. Accordingly they knelt and prayed. A sudden violent ring of the doorbell brought them from their knees. Lucile went to the door. Soon she returned bearing a telegram for Daego. Marguerita will live. Her fever is gone.-Cloef' VVith joy in every heart, Daego bade farewell to the Malcolm family, with a promise to accept Colonel Malcolm's gift of the pleasant oak grove for a building site. Lucile, happy with her true parents, desired her beloved Gypsy parents and sister near by. -G. M., '14 N27 gif.. KW O FIFTY FIVE

To get a partner for her den, Eliz'beth ne'er did try, Now we see her with Sally N. Wife ask anyone, why? Iiut then I may you here mislead, Regarding the term crush. XYith this can teachers deal, indeed, And so each other rush. When -Iennie left Mrs. Ewing here, Miss Sadie B. came in, And soothed in her own ways so clear. And has a true friend lieen. As down the hall Miss Carter Goes Wife also see Miss Scales, Who drives away Miss Carterls woes, And tells her funny tales. Z5 You hear a quick step in the hall, And wonder who is there. Miss Burge is walking with Miss Auld, They are a jolly pair. Behold! who slowly comes forth then? Is this indeed Miss May? And smiling at her side, Mrs. Glenn? . Wfell I declare! you say. Perhaps their sizes explain this, Miss Counts does so delight, In this to all her friends dismiss, IVhen comes Miss Owen bright. VVho are these, who block the steps By sitting there an age? Wfhy, don't you know? It is Miss Epps, And with her is Miss Page. Miss Daniel asks Miss Henderson, Have some candy, my dear? She says, Yes, but I can reach none, 'Less you stand on a chairf' At last I hope you understand, This matter to the core, For now I have a tired hand, And so can write no more. fAB.
