THE JUNG SENIORS HE whistle of the train was heard in the distance. Shouts, loud and louder, broke forth from a great number of pupils who were gathered here to welcome the great Huston. Great in his studies, great in athletics, great in the favor of his school- mates was this young man. He had said that he could not return for his last year, but now when the telegram had been received stating that this train would Carey him back again, how could they refrain irom shouting? The train had stopped, and accompanied by Edward, he stepped off, or rather was carried off by his chums. Well, Howfv everybodyu? he managed to ask when he had finally been set down at the school. He was not so anxious to talk though, as he wanted to hear all the boys' experiences. Nor a word could he have managed to get in if he had tried, on account of the class cheers. shouts and singing. At this moment a note was put into his hand by a small boy, who had managed to get to him by squeezing among the crowd. At first Huston thought it was a Bi!! but soon saw his mistake when he read that the girls at Johnson-'s College, of which Miss Nelson was the head, and which was two miles distant, having heard of his arrival, invited him and the rest of his chums for an evening's entertainment that same night.' Wfhen he had read it to them, nothing could be heard for cheers. :Pon my soul! exclaimed Harold, when the cheering had partly subsided, If they don't find out everything at the very moment that it happens! Here Huston just arrived, yet they know it already. I'd like to use a Hanfwnar on him! He is such a favorite with the girls and we have to stand by and watch ! exclaimed Calvin. Even Florence, I suppose, answered Harold. Florence was a new girl at the College. - They all declared that they had a line time that evening, being entertained by a wonderful piece of elocution by Irene and a violin solo by Sophia. The girls escorted the boys about one-half of the way home in honor of the great occasion. Thirty-nine

THE MARY JUNIORS HE whistles were blowing and the bells were clanging, so they could be heard far around. Everyone who was not going along must leave the ship. The gangplank was just about to be drawn in when Dick, all out of breath, came hurrying up, running right into Genezfieve, who was waiting for him fnot patiently eitherj. I thought surely that they would go on without you and Was terribly frightened. I told the Captain that he should wait for you but he said that he didn't have any orders to do so, and then he walked away. Why, I was so angry. Well, never mind now, answered Dick, soothingly. Come and Jes'se-e if we know any who are to be for not to be Pj our fellow pas- sengers. Look! There's PEIETJS-S011 who is going abroad to take up painting. W'hile walking about on the ship, where all were busy putting their traps out of the way, whom should they meet but about a dozen friends who had been their former schoolmates! These had all con- tinued their education at the university and had planned to take this trip together just for the enjoyment. Q Genevieve and Dick were very happy to. find so many friends and could now talk over their school days. In the distance a Kraft was seen which proved to be a fishing smack. To discern whether it was in distress, a sailor climbed to the upper deck with great Dexter-ity, where a telescope stood ready at any time. Finding that everything was as it should be, they all went down to the dining room as the supper bell had just rung. Genevieve and Dick found that they had their friends all around them and they talked of the good old times. Ruth Wadman said that she lived in Austin where plenty of Hazel nuts could be found. Me for that place! exclaimed William Szafranskl, greatly ex- cited, As I just dote on hazelnutsf' No wonder. just look whose name is included in the name of those nuts, answered Albert YF. At this they all laughed. When Luella was stepping on Deck, her hat blew off and almost fell in the water, but as it had landed on the railing, it was soon rescued. Many made for a candy Booth which was stationed in one corner, half hidden by bouquets of flowers and the pillars were entwined with vines. Violet-s and Marguerite-s could be bought here also.
