575' l l.lL-TSN EE Sure welll find him, called a voice behind Detective Mauk, and there appeared his shadow, Edward Husted. In less time than it takes to tell it, they appeared still grinning and carry- ing a sleeping child. f'Poor fellowf' said Edward Husted, I know just how it is. I used to sleep in class, too. NVe had just settled down for a rest after the excitement when we saw a girl carrying a large basket of candy yelling, Candy for sale! Home-made candy fo1' sale ! That's Elizabeth Graham, we both said at once, and she smiled as we spoke. She gave us a box of fresh home-made candy. It certainly pays to remember school friends, observed Beatrice, as she bit into a chocolate. VVe became thirsty and went for a drink. To our surprise, Fanny Reinstein greeted us at the entrance and informed us that she owned all the refreshments in the Aerial Service. VVe went out on deck again and noticed that the sky had clouded alld a heavy wind was blowing. The airship rocked to and fro in the storm and we began to have a sea-sick feeting. Lam-ons! Le-in-ons! called two girls as they swayed from side to side, eating a lemon held in one hand and trying desperately to balance a tray in the other. The storm grew worse and the lightning flashed. An awful thunderclap, and the aircraft sank gradually downwards. The people were panicstricken and rushed from side to side, screaming in their fear. Be quiet and don 't push. Here are the life preserversf' call the eaptain's voice. Oh, we cried together, that is Miss Benster's voice. VVhere is she? VVe looked about eagerly, but the passengers made a mad rush for the life preservers and the aircraft shot downwards. Beatrice and I grasped each other and said not a word. Down, down, down, the craft sank and soon the cold waters of the lake closed over our heads, but Beatrice and I still clung desperately to each other. All of a sudden a faint voice was heard above the noisy storm, It grew louder and louder: Beatrice and Barbara! I ! ! ! Close tha.t window immediately and get to work on that prophecy. Don't you know it must be finished this noon ? I came to with a start and found myself clinging to my classmate in a back seat of Room 20, with the window open behind us and the rain pouring in. The calendar o11 the wall said May, 1922, and before us lay this prophecy half finished. In the front of the room Miss Benster stood giving us her warning. Yes, Miss Benster, we replied. It will be finished in ten minutes. The End. BEATRICE DIDHAM, BARBARA BREWSTER. Twenty-Two

575 r'l.u..-r:N EE Yes, I replied, but do look there! A sign on the window next to Dr. Green 's had caught my eye. lt read: How I grew thin in two lessons. Oh, yes, said Beatrice, 'fthat's Mrs. B. McBain's office. You know her, she was formerly Eleanor VVynkoop. ' Indeed! I surely must go in and see her before I go home to Long Island. It was getting late, so we hurried on to the New Secor. We arrived about six-thirty and Beatrice explained that the Aerial Service would be in soon. There is going to be a moonlight ride over the lake tonight, she informed me. VVe heard a loud buzzing and looking up into the sky, we saw an immense aircraft swooping down toward the hotel. ' 'AOf course you know the roof is one of our numerous air stations, ob- served Beatrice. Do you think we would have time to go up before dinner? f'VVe'll make time, I said. After a ten-minute ride in the hiest or the new style elevator, we reached the seventy-ninth story and stepped onto the roof. Just alighting from the huge craft were a handsome lady and gentleman. VVhy! I exclaimed, if that isn't Miss Marker, but who is that gen- tleman ? Don't you know? That 's her husband, the present owner of this hotel, said Beatrice. They were married eight years ago. That handsome young pilot is Howard Miller. He holds the record for fast air flightf' After talking to Howard, and promising to go on the moonlight ride, we went down for dinner. As we were on our way down, we noticed the 'thiest boy, who wore a red flannel suit with long white trousers, seemed to be trying to draw our attention. ' Beatrice turned to me and whispered, K'That 's Phyllis Hallem, isn 't it?'l Why, yes, so it is, I said. VVe talked to her as we descended to the Hrst floor. Our dinner was rather hurried, as we were eager to start for the moonlight, which left at eight sharp. Soon we were on board and in a few minutes we glided over the lake. Let's dance, I said. ' All right, said Beatrice. L'Isn't the music inspiring? I said, as we approached the dance hall. It surely is, and how wonderful it is that Mr. Miller can balance this aero- plane so people can dance! But look, Beatrice added, isn't that Thelma Du Vall playing the piano RIILI Selma Paris singing? K t'Yes, I believe it is, I replied. After many enjoyable dances we decided to go out on the deck. What's wrong? Beatrice asked, looking toward a tall, curly-headed woman, who seemed very excited and who was exclaiming, Oh, what ever shall I do ii We recognized her as Marguerite Parquet with her seven children. -She said she was teaching the children about the stars and did not notice that one of the boys was missing. ' A young man with auburn hair, whom we recognized as Edward Mauk, came forward. I'll find him, I'1l find him, he grinned. Don't you know I'm a second Sherlock Holmes? Twenty-One

5575 r-ui..-run gig Class History of Room Twenty ' vi so One bright September morning, in the year of 1912, a happy band, eager for adventure, boarded t.he good ship Fulton for a cruise in the World of Education. lVe passed inspection by the captain, Miss Marker, and we were assigned to Miss liucilc, who was to be our guide on our first yea1 s tour. The first stop was the little island of Kindergarten, and you can imagine how excited we were when we arrived there. lVc were soon made to feel very much at home and passed our time singing and dancing. Our stay was almost like a fairy story, for we heard of so 1na11y things we didn't even know existed before. Our guide, Miss Lucile, made everything so pleasant for us that two years had passed before we were ready to leave. When that time came, we were told of the little outlying town of Alpha- bet. Miss Huston, Miss Gundrum and Miss Freed were chosen to show us through this interesting town and they won us immediately by declaring a holiday of one-half day in our honor. Later we were shown places of interest and advised to climb the mountain of Oral Readingf' This was very easy for there were many signposts along the way and the paths were well beaten. Our success in climbing led us to enter the Cave of Numbers, but the wind- ings of this cave were so numerous and so dark that some of our band were still in the cave when the boat set sail. Vile missed our friends at first but at Port-0'-Second, where we were taken by Miss O'Brien and Miss Miller, we were kept so busy for the next year that we quite forgot them. The ways were new and very difficult to learn, but we soon became accustomed to them and were sorry when the time came to pack our grips and go on. Our guides gave us passports to the town of Ink on the Dark Conti- nent, and here our troubles began in earnest. Almost immediately we en- countered the dragon Geography, and this terrible monster took such a fancy to us that he followed us in our wanderings for the next. three years and every now and then devoured one of our number. Here also we found that the law required that monthly Reports of our doings be sent to our home country, by Miss Keplinger, Miss Campbell and Miss Fleming and in the future we found our freedom somewhat curtailed. Our courage and cheerfulness under all these trying circumstances, how- ever, secured us permission to explore the Land of Tests. Miss Simpson, Miss Mayhew, our new guides felt that we had traveled enough by this time to be somewhat independent, so they presented us with guide books called Dictionaries, which proved of use to us in all our later voyages. VVhile here we heard of the terrible stream of Long Division, which led far into the interior of the country and was thought by many to have no end. We decided to take a trip down this river and soon encountered sandbars, cataracts, rapids, Twem v-Three I
