JUNE, 1935 I 37 The Adventure of Billy and Milly Mildred Argersinger is 'afraid she is falling in love with Billy Blanchard so she is making plans' to go away im- mediately. Mildred has distinctly de- cided that she will not marry below her standard. Her grandmother, be- fore her, had always lived on Kingsboro Avenue in the residential section of Gloversville and she would not marry anyone living on West Street and who didn't have good taste in books. So Mildred went to the lawn where her bicycle lay intending to take a nice ride because she was tired from pack- ing, preparing to visit her aunt in New York. She was riding around Melcher Park when she saw Billy's bicycle ly- ing against the curb near the park. She thought something must be wrong be- cause Billy was very particular not to leave his bicycle lying by the side of the curb in this manner. She ,left her bike and walked over to where the pond is located in the park. As she looked she saw her lover in the pond. Mildred walked over to him and discovered him stuck in the rnud but he did not answer her when shb called him. She was very frightened because his eyes were closed. She struggled to pull him out of the mud. Oh! if only some one would come, but there was no such luck. She tugged and tugged on him until finally he was out of the pond, then she threw water on his face until he finally came to. Mildred said, What happened to you? I was chasing a butterfly and I felt' in the pond. I think my ankle broken, said Billy. 5' Well, I'll ride you home on my bike, replied Mildred. i I-Ie succeeded in getting on the handle bars of her bike after much struggling, and she rode him to her house because it was nearer than his. They finally got in the house and Mil- dred went to the telephone to call the doctor, but to the distress of the lover So they both ran and looked out of Sally's window but the ghost was gone. Sally and Doris looked all around but they saw no ghost. Are you sure you weren't dream- ing? asked Doris. No, answered Sally, I wasn't dreaming? ' . Have you any enemies? asked Doris. Yes, but I don't think they would do it, answered Sally. Who are they? asked Doris. Rita LaRowe and Antoinette Han- shaw, said Sally. Well, said Doris, you never can tell. Shall we look tomorrow night? asked Sally. Yes, we will, answered Doris. They looked that night, but no ghost showed up so they went to bed. The day after that, Doris had an idea. Tonight we will go around by the barn and see if we see anything, said Doris. Alright, said Sally, we'll do that. It was nearly midnight when the two girls sneaked out of the house. They went by the barn and waited for half an hour but the ghost didn't come. Finally they heard footsteps, then whispers. Sallyrand Doris went in the barn and hid behind an hay stack so they could hear the voices better. You go tonight, said the first voice, 'cause I went the other night. I'll go, said the second voice. Sally and Doris peaked from behind the hay stack and saw two girls. They could not see their faces because it was dark, They saw one girl putting on a sheet and another. one helping her. Then they went around by the house with Sally and Doris following them. When they got by Sally's room they threw a rock and hit the window. The girls saw that Sadly didnt poke out her' head so they started to goj You run and grab one and I'll grab the other, said Doris. Then they both ran and caught them. They tried to get away but Sally and Doris held on tight. Whenthey took it .was Wednesday afternoon, the 'tfjggsheet 05 of one that was Rita La tor's afternoon off. Finally, Dr. Schepis was located at home and said he would come to her house. Dr. Schepis arrived, dressed Bi1ly's leg and took him home. Im- mediately Mildred unpacked her lug- gage and postponed her visit to New York. Mrumrcn FONDA, The Figure ln White One dark, gloomy night Sally, who was in the country for her summer va- cation, sat looking out the window. She didn't feel like sleeping because it was very warm out. Just then she heard the dog in the back yard howling and under her window stood a figure in white. She stood there terrified, not knowing what to do. She ran to the next room, which was her sister's, and knocked on the door. Come in! said her sister. Oh Doris, said Sally, come quick, I just saw a ghost under my window. Rowe. The other was Antoinette Han- shaw. What's the meaning of this? 'asked Doris. Oh none of your business, snap- ped back Rita. You'd better tell us, said Doris, or we'll tell your mothers on you. Don't tell, said Antoinette, we'll tell you. Alright, tell us, said Doris. Well, began Antoinette, we didn't like you and Sally because you have so many friends. We had a lot of friends until you came and stayed with your grandmother, but now we haven't any. We tried to scare you away by making you think this place was haunted. We didn't succeed though. Why can't you be our friends too, said Sally, we'd like to have you for our friends. Sure, said Doris, just forget about tonight. Rita and Antoinette thought for a IIl01Tl6l'1ll. Well, said Rita, if you want us for your friends we will. Alright, said Doris, then we're friends. FANNIE TnAMoN'rANo, 9A110 Unexpected Tu rn Virginia. Ketchum It was a lovely summer day, one of those days in which all nature seems glad and should be glad, but a young man walked slowly down the street seeming very sad and gloomy. He was handsome and well dressed and prob- ably claimed one of the rich- bankers as his father. Upon nearing the cor- ner of the street he hailed a-taxi, and hurriedly gave the address. - Drive as fast as you can, he dl- rected. Yes, sir, was the crisp reply. As this young man now speeds to his destination, I will tell you more about him. He was known as John Richards, the only descendant of Ray- mond Richards, a wealthy banker who had died a very few years before. At this occurance his grief was great but not so great as it now was at the notice of his mother's death. -This lady had been ill for many weeks, now, per- haps months, but up until this time her recovery was unexpected. John, her son, had been the first to hear of her death and was now hurrying to the private hospital in which she had been placed. - As the taxi dodged in and out of the traffic, John Richards reflected back over the events of the day. He had been severely shocked by the telephone call which notified him of his beloved mother's death and now sat limply in his seat. I wonder why they didn't call me before, he mused, half sadly and half angrily. They might have known I should want to see my own mother in her last moments. His question was answered some fifteen minutes later when he hotly in- quired of the attending physician and his reasons for refraining from calling him. She died very suddenly, was the reply. Heart trouble along with the other. She did not suffer, then? inquired the anxious and mournful young man. Very little, if at all, came the calm, steady answer. After making arrangements for the funeral services he hurried wearily home where he spent some time direct- ing the servants and planning further for the coming funeral. Many were the weary tasks to be performed, but he managed to perform them all. Very glad was he when the ordeal was over. A week after Mrs. Richards had been laid to rest, her will was read and it was found her son inherited all her wealth. Jack had never been intrusted with so much money before and so spent it very unwisely going to night clubs, saloons and other undesirable places. During one of these ram- pages, as his older friends expressed them, he came in contact with one of the underworld leaders of the day. Continued on Page 45
