DEETER CHAPTER 1 IT WAS MIDNIGHT. Fritzo, German police dog, crept from his kennel, crept stealthily along through the blinding snow, gaining a sure position under his mistress' window. There he sat, keeping a long vigil through the night, growling low at the soft shadows dancing over the white expanse. Dawn Z--Fritzo was gone-to the white, frozen Bad Lands, to Crow Creek, to the Mountains, who knows? Dawn! yes, dawn, but only in name. The snow fell light and thick, gain- ing time on the sun. At 10 o'clock the sun tried to appear, but what could appear in such a storm? A storm shutting from view all signs of life or nature-and who knows?-shutting under its wing all signs of crime and suffering. The wi11d blew, tossing the ice-covered branches of pine, blowing into drifts the fast falling snow, only to re-scatter it and blow it into larger drifts. In this hail, snow and driving wind, night settled about 3 p. m. Dawn! Another day! The storm had ceased as suddenly as it had started and the sun ruled the skies once more. Everywhere, east, west, north, south-snow-trees breaking with their burden, corrals shaping into snow houses, stables looking like icebergs and Mr. Weathercock covered from view. Certainly a fitting scene for Whittier's Snowbound. Lucy, Lucy! where in the land sakes is that child, that poor child? Something dreadful must have happened. I feel it in my bones. They all ache so bad. The weather and Lucy were affecting Mrs. Dumph. After hunting all over the house without finding Lucy, and after the confinement during the storm, it was certainly hard on her bones. Clip-clop, clip-clop, the sound of horses' hoofs sounded outside as they struck the snow. Immediately after, thump-thump, at the door. Mrs. Dumph ran hurriedly to the door, expecting, probably, to see Lucy, but-- Morning! Is Colonel Connely at home? I have some very 'erf-import- ant business-hum. I am sorry to disturb him, but it's got to be. Sheriff Conway seemed rather disturbed and turning to his associates conyersed with them in whispers. Mrs. Dumph's mouth dropped wide open. The sheriff for Colonel Con- nely on important business! Hurriedly she entered the lounging room and touched a button. Colonel Connely came slowly down the steps and entered the hall. He was a man of about 60 years, proudly owning a thick crop of white hair. A person with any insight, at his first glance, could read the Colonel's sweet temperament in his face. Conway, how do you do? This is an unexpected pleasure on such a morning. Come in and have something warm. You must be cold, yes, frozen, coming through such banks of snow. Colonel Connely seemed in high spir- its and even light-hearted this morning. H-m-a- I am sorry, Colonel, but-ah-you see I am afraid this ain't a friendly visit. I have some news, but I want more and I think you can give me what I want, replied the sheriff, looking Connely steadily in the eye. I am sorry I am not honored with a friendly visit, and I will most as- suredly give you any information I am capable of. The Colonel spoke slowly and the smile vanished from his face. I hope the news is not un- pleasantf' , It's this way, Connelyf, the sheriff was now plainly excited, on the night of the fifth, that was the tirst night of the storm, Pete Sted was found dead, killed with his own knife just outside of Clark, along Crow Creek. He was 6 still warm when joe Faner, passing by, almost fell over him. In less than ten minutes Hell would be frozen in that storm, but Pete was still warm. There were hoof prints in the snow leading toward here and they were made just before Joe got there. When he had Pete on the back of the horse the hoof prints were covered, but Joe said they were not made by any horse in Clark for they were too large. They were the hoofs of a thoroughbred, and they headed for here. Now Colonel, in that storm no one could get far and your house was the only one for several miles. There were tracks leading away from here in the direction of Crow Creek, made this morning directly after the storm. The hoof prints is large and made by a thoroughbred. Two of my men are following them. Colonel, it will be much easier for you if you will tell us all you know and the truth. Pete! Pete Sted! murdered and the murderer headed towards this ranch? Sheriff, my word no one has been in here in that time. No one! Think, Colonel, no one? Colonel, not even Lucy?!' The sheriff leaning forward, almost whispered the words, Not even Lucy? Lucy! man! whatdo you mean? Lucy, my daughter? I mean this, Colonel. Your daughter is the owner of the only thorough- bred in this section. Your daughter was seen, not long before the murder, headed toward Crow Creek and we all have seen your daughter wear these gloves many times. He was growing more excited, talking rapidly, and get- ting red-faced, These were found clutched in the dead man's hand, he said, holding up a pair of gray gauntlets. Damn you! horse or no horse, gloves or no gloves, Lucy is innocent, I will prove it to you, wait! He left the room hurriedly and called Mrs. Dumph. Mrs, Dumph, call Lucy immediately. Hurry, but tell her not to be frightened. Bless me, Colonel, but Lucy is nowhere to be seen and some of her clothes is gone. Oh! Colonel, what could be the matter ? Gone! My Lucy, but no, she is innocent, she can't be the-oh! Colonel Connely staggered into the room. She is not in the house, but she often rides in the morning, sheriff. You must not think that Lucy ran away, for Lucy is not a coward. But she is innocent, you must see she is innocent. Lucy would rather kill herself than any other person. You know her, sher- iff. She brings good cheer to Clark, she visits the poor and sick, she helps people in trouble, she is good and kind to all. Do you think such a girl with such a heart could murder, destroy, kill that which her God put on this earth? Oh! Conway, Conway, you know her, you know what I say is true, you know she didn't do it, Conway, you do! Colonel Connely was plainly sobbing. He was pleading, not for his own life, but for a life far clearer to him. The sheriff cleared his throat. Connely, here's my hand. lVe must trace those tracks to prove who the murderer is. I pray God it isn't Lucy, but duty is duty and I must go. I will trace these tracks to prove Lucy is not the murderer. At the end of the trail I hope to find the murderer. but not Lucy. Look! One of my men returning from the trail. Doggedly plowing through the drift, the rider reached the house. Is Sheriff Conway in thar? Conway ran to the door. Ujoe, what news? The tracks lead to the hills. The horse does not travel fast for he car- ries a heavy load. too heavy to be caused by a girl. but I found this near the foot of the hills. He held up a gray scarf, always worn by Lucy when riding in winter. On it was a drop of blood. Turning to Colonel Connely, Conway muttered: 'AI would rather go to the gallows, but I have no choice. Joe, call out the posse. we will ride for the hills. CHAPTER II At sunset the forest seemed steeled in white. The trees, hanging low with their great weight, made it difhcult for the passage of a lone horse-- carrying a double load.

Z6 WYOMING AND --, Continued was-was carrying more than his share, as were the trees. He stepped slowly but surely, stooping for the long low branches, zigzagging his way up the hill He was near the top and as though he scented shelter, he hurried his lagging steps. A girl sat astride the horse using her utmost strength in holding a man to the saddle Often she called the horse to rest, but while resting she kept a continual watch from the rear as though she feared pursuit. After a few minutes of rest, she called to the horse to proceed. Nearing the top of the mountain they reached a small stream trickling down over the rocks and winding down to the opposite side of the mountain. Into this stream she urged the thoroughbred and, following the stream for twenty minutes. came to a sharp turn. A tenderfoot would have stood and gasped-where did the stream flow to?-for there it seemed to disappear. But the native of the woods pushed back a large bush and swept through out of sight. The under- ground course had worn, during the decades, a passage large enough for a horse to passthrough. The horse tramped steadily on as though the course was not a new one to him. Coming to a small opening in the rocks, the girl turned her horse off and entered a cave cut from solid rock. At the entrance it was barely wide enough for a horse to pass. A hundred yards on, the cave gradually widened until at the end of half a mile, it was twenty feet wide. Oddly enough, the temperature in the cave was almost normal, in contrast to the zero weather in the open. The man moved in the saddle, shivered and nearly fell. She tried her best to hold him but he was gradually sliding off. She let him down easily, laid him on a blanket and, tying one end to it and one end to the saddle, dragged him along very slowly. This means of travel did not seem to harm him, for the floor of the cave was almost as smooth as a wooden floor. By these means she moved him along for almost a half a mile when she came to what seemed the end of the cave. Two massive rocks barred further travel. They reached up to the top and to both sides, fitting tightly together at their joining. Running quickly to the side, in the corner, she lifted a slab of stone a half inch in thickness and broad enough to enable a man and horse to pass. An incline reached down to a fioor beneath. After man and horse were through, she carefully closed the opening. What she had just entered was a large cave room. A bed of boughs with blankets was in the far corner, besides a cook stove and stock of provisions, a coal-oil light, some clothing, several chairs, and in the far end a stall with plenty of straw. ' . Gently she laid the man on the bed and, heating some water, dressed his wounds. She covered him with blankets and standing up, she gazed long at him, his long, muscular body, black wavy hair, straight Roman nose, well chiseled lips and firm, resolute chin. His skin was dark, probably from the sun, and, as she remembered, his eyes were black. Yes, he was worth this troubieg he was worth saving. A man with those features could not be a criminal. There seemed to be no opening to the cave but at on-3 end there were rauntles brushes. Walkiiig to these, she pushed back a small portion and disclosd a boulder in the opening, giving her but enough room to pass. She crawled out and peered over the boulder, long and motionless. Silently she came back, her blue eyes sparkling and her cheeks filled with color. She pushed back a strand of her light curly hair. She was concealed where they would not find her. She lighted the stove, put some herbs into the boiling water, and made a dressing for his wound. With steady hand and gentle touch she applied the herbs to the wound. It was a fight for life or death. CHAPTER III Night settled over the mountain. A girl stole from her retreat and crept steadily along, reaching a small blotch of ice. Taking a stone she cracked an opening large enough to enter a dipper. She filled her bucket and stole quietly back to the brush, pushed it aside and disappeared. A man stirred on his bough bed and opened his eyes. Gazing wonderingly about him, his eyes rested on the crouching form of a girl writing a letter. She fastened it to the dog and let him out at the opening. 27 The girl looked up quickly and came to his side. With a voice as soft and sweet as a m0ther's. she asked You are not in pain, you are not suf- fering? 'ASuiIering.'i he replied perplexed, Suffering from what?l' He tried to rise, but she stopped him. Don't, you will hurt your sideg you must be very still or your wound will openf' Ol now I remember that fight and that beast I killed. I am not sorry. f'Please try to forget it. You must have all the 'rest you possibly can get. VVithin a week you will be able to walk and probably ride a horse. A week passed, and only food for another day remained. Major was restless in his stall and Fitzo was gone. The stranger was almost able to ride as well as ever. She had received a note from her father by Fritzo and she knew she had to go home. She knew she was suspected of the murder. The one thing she could do for the man who murdered was to take thc blame herself. She loved this man and she would give him her life. She had been meditating, her thoughts were so far away that she didn't know he was standing over her until he touched her. A'What are you plan- ning to do? Command and I shall obey. She looked up at him. 'ATomorrow you must leave the country. I will give you Major and you will reach another town in a few hours. You are perfectly free, for I covered up your tracks. No one knows you in this section. You are free to go where you will without the law trailing you. She turned her head away for her eyes filled with tears. He caught both her hands. Tell me your name. Please don't deny me that before I leave you. f'My name,'I she said looking at him, is Lucy Connely. I live on the Connely ranch with my father and housekeeper. I have my horse, which I give to you, I have my dog, I have all the country to ride in and several rendezvous including this one, which I found when Fritzo chased a rabbit into it. I think it once belonged to the Indians from what I found in it. No one but me knows about it. I have all that I desire and I am happy. She moved to put on her hat and coat, she called Fritzo who had just arrived, and turning to him said, I am going home. I will travel with the help of these skees. Tomorrow you ride Major and leave this country. May heaven bless you and guide you safely on and pardon the law you have broken for me. With tears in her eyes she turned to leave. At the en- trance he came up beside her. Lucyl he cried Lucy! after all you have done for me, there is but pne thing that I can say-1 love you. I love you truly, I would give my life or you. Turning, she gave him her hand and looking up in his eyes, she said I am proud, you don't know how proud I am, to have your love. I will always think of you as a true friend, but on account of your future and the circumstances we must never see each other again. I-Ie watched her until she turned the bend and, waving her hand, disap- pearedl. Yes, he was not worthy to have her. but what a torture it was! He slept little that night. The next morning he was up preparing for his journey. He buckled on his belt and saddled Major. He was about to leave when something white fluttered in the doorway. Picking it up he read: My darling Lucy: No matter where you are, 01' what you are, I trust you. But Con- way and his posse suspect you and are combing the mountains for you. Come home and tell them you are innocent. Your affectionate father. lfVith one bound he was in the saddle. Major, old boy. You will have to lead me to her. but hurry, hurry. 28 CHAPTER IV I tell vou I did, I did, I killed that brute! Don't ask me any morefl Lucy was the bravest of all among them, pleading guilty. She had arrived home the night before and going immediately to the Sheriff in the morning told him she had killed Pete Sted and was glad of it. She was kept prisoner at ConWay's house until. afternoon. The posse and most of the men of the community gathered innhis office for the hearing. She replied to nothing they asked her. All she said was that she murdered that brute. ','But why did you run to the hills for a week and then come back and give yourself up to me. Why did you do that ? 'Conway was trying her with one question after another, but all with no avail. Lucy, he inquired, although he was a man of no high standing that you killed, it was murder, and as an officer of the law I must obey the law. Your father -a rustling was heard among the men. Wait l Swinging around, the sheriff beheld a man taller than the ordinary, with wild black piercing eyes, and a dark complexion. His intentions seemed bent on some very, yes, very definite purpose. Wait, you must hear what I have to say. I am the true murderer of Pete Stedl I am here as your captive and for the purpose of releasing your innocent prisoner! He stretched his hands before him to be tied. My daughter, my daughter, I knew you were innocent l Rushing to her, the father took her in his arms. But only for a moment. She rushed between the stranger and the Sheriff, shielding her lover with her outstretched arms. She said, Yes, he is the murderer of that brute, but he is just as innocent as I! You must listen to me. You must hear what I have to sayf' She told all-of this brute stopping her and insulting her, of his trying to pull her off her horse, of her delivery by the stranger, of Pete's unfair fighting with a concealed knife and last of all of his killing. She told them of her escape to her home, hiding him in the barn until after the storm, getting him away to the moun- tains in her rendezvous and nursing him back to health. She told them how she determined to take the consequences of the murder because it was all her fault. She had to save him, for he was as innocent and more so than she. A murmur rose through the audience. The Sheriff's eyes were blazing. And you say that this stranger was stabbed in the side first by that black heathen? HO yes! stabbed before the weapon .was revealed to his eyes. A coward he was, and like a coward he fought l The Sheriff walked over to his posse and conversed in low tones. Lucy threw her arms around the stranger's neck and said, Why did you do ltr They never would have known? Because, my dear, found the note your father sent to you, and I would rather die I1 hundred times than have you hurt. No matter what happens, please remember that I love you. And I love you, loved you dearly from the first time I saw you. It was mostly because of that that I saved youf' He kissed her in fond fare- well, for the Sheriff was returning. n The Sheriff seemed to be smothering a smile by dropping the corners or his mouth. 'tYou.ng man, I can see you are not from Wyoming. You may think that all men in our state are as black as that coyote you killed. You have only done what any other one of us would have done for Lucy and under these circumstances. You killed him in self-defense and you are free. When you get the full significance of this pardon, just try and remember that we would like to have you as a citizen in our state of WYOMING AND JUSTICE, and NVYOMING AND MEN. 29 l lli iI'HxlllH li l ll lil li Weil il' UllflllllllllHHlllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIlllllE!llHllIIIlI!llllHEI.IllllllllilllllillllllllHllllllllllllllIllllllllHlHIIVHllllhlllllllllllllilllllllllll l ll lll Hill! i NIMH i .1 r., Class Song Behold the class of 'fall lYe loyal maids of ul une, Today we come into these halls To sing our farewell tune.

BECHTEL Grace is one of'0ur most learned students. When it comes to bookkeeping she is always on top. We think it must be very nice to go to thc Hippodronie every Friday night. MILDRED BECK Ask Mildred why she doesn't go to church on Sunday night! She's quietu in school, but when you get her outside, oh, my! E. DOROTHY BECKER The studious girl of the school who always appears wearing baby-pins. One of the man- haters of the class. KATI-IARINE H. BOYER Now, friends, please don't be scared. 'Tis only the innocent Visage of our friend Katharine Boyer. Yes, she is going to be a school marm and, never fear, she's not going to have Math., Botany or Latin, especially prose, included in the curriculum. 33 , A L .

Is it to see the games, we wonder! Does she like 'em short or tall? She is very studious, luck! BESSIE M. DEETER Ah! Here is one of the man-haters of our class f???j Bessie intends to go to Wyoming and live on a ranch guarded by cowboys. But whatever Bessie does in the future, we know she will always be well-liked. 35 A. RI-IEA CLAMMER Rhea is a first-rate friend. We all know how relieved Rhea was when she found out that she wouldn't get her report until after Thanksgiv- ingg then she Went to Tower City in peace. 2 W S. t H EDNA RUTH DEISHER Isn't she cute? Others think so, too. Edna is one of the busiest girls of our class. Her evenings are always completely filled up with work CU EMMA M. DILLER We hear that Emma is greatly interested in the moon, fwhich one?j Emma is another one of the girls of our class who does not have to worry about the wave in her hair on a rainy day. ERMA DIPPERY Our class baby. But never call her that, for even the infants of the weaker sex never like to own up to their age. We wonder who made our baby grow up, for she no longer wears her curls down. MARY DUGAN As soon as Mary graduates she is going on a honeymoon across the continent--but don't be excited, for she is just going to be a chaperone, and is going to hike it at that. AMELIA R DUNDORE. Amelia says, If I were a boy F 81 M for me, but since she isn't a boy, she will have to be satisfied with some representative of F. 81 M. Fatsy always skips up from lunch at the last minute and asks the Main Room in general to lend her a chemistry note-book. 36 ELLEN I-IENRIETTA EARLY Ellen has a weakness for musicians-espeo ially fiddlers. We all got to know Captain Earlyl' very well during the practices for the School Parade for the 175th Anniversary, and we are all very sure that she will be a capable head of a family some day. REBEKAI-I K. EBERLY Here is our Becky, and we know she is Sharp, but perhaps not in the manner of the other Becky about whom we have all read. Becky used to be very fond of Teddy Bears, but she feels that she has outgrown them now. I-IELEN E. ELLIOT Here is a pretty little maid with wistful eyes. Very quiet! But never mind, with it all Helen's Romeo serenades her frequently. Helen wants to be a nurse, and we hope she will never lose her patience. RUTH GLADYS ESTERLY Here is another one of our class-mates whose chief aim in life is to take temperatures and count pulse. The only Hy in her ointment is that she hates to make beds. At our future class reunions we shall see her wearing a white cap perched daintily on her head and carrying a business-like black bag. ADA F El-IR Sometimes the camera does not tell the truth, so here is a brief resume of Ada as she appeared at the Faculty Hallowe'en Party: Tiny straw hat with feather, hair a la Sis Hopkins, gingham dress too short for style, and a pigeon-toed posture. 37 , CAROLYN G. FENSTERMACHER Carolyn, how can she be the vamp and the valedictorian at the same time? Wheii you hear - Do you like him? Does he like you? Is he handsome? then you know Carolyn is speak- mg. MARY FITZPATRICK Mary, Mary, our quiet little fairy, how does your geometry go? As you see from this prime C?J, Mary is quiet and a wizard in geometry. But, truly, she is one of the best- natured girls in our class, and is a living proof of the maxim, Silence is goldenf' l MARY V. FOCHT Our gay Mary and P-, well, there's no need to say it. They are so well known that one is never seen without the other. Mary's little black curls never need to take their owner out, un- escorted. MARY JANE. FRANK!-IOUSER We wonder why Mary is so interested in Birdsboro. just ask Mary who gave her the ring, and you can see her blush. EDNA V. FRANTZ Behold Paderewski the second! Besides mastering the piano, Edna is now mastering the arts of the swimming pool. She claims to be a man-hater, but her best friends know better. 38 -it's only to use the telephone. IRENE FREDERICK Irene loves to Write poetry and novelsg so you may some day expect to see her picture in the Book Review section of the North American. EMILY DOROTHY FREES Emily was the happiest girl in the G. H. S. when we Went to practice for the Anniversary Parade. What was the attraction? RUTH S. GOLI.. Ruth's great ambition is to swim without getting her hair wet. Perhaps a bathing cap will be invented for her some day. ETHEL E. GRAEFF It seems that all these girls who are so quiet in school are just the opposite outside, and Ethel is not the exception to prove the rule, for We hear a lot about M- S- MARGARET M. GREBE 'Hasn't she the cutest eyes? Peg is often seen going into a barber shop-but don't be alarmed '39 ' l from Temple, RUTH E.. HINTZ We all wonder why Ruth has been seized with such a sudden desire to attend Schuylkill College. We wonder, too, if it is because of the school itself, or of some one in it. Ask Ruth if S- isn't a student there? but she has already soft voice. RUTH HOOVER Two years ago Ruth wore her hair down over her shoulders and her nose shiny. Now, look at her! The very trickiest Happer in the Senior Class! Ruth can drive a Buick roadster toog just ask her and you'll find out. classmates with her ESTHER M. HENNE ' Esther can be seen every night with a differ- ent set of books. She is our dark-haired student DOROTHY A. HONSBERGER Dorothy has been with us for only two years, won the hearts of all her sweet manners and her J. MARY HOUSUM And still another one of our ranks intends being a nurse. Goodness gracious, will there be enough doctors to go around? You should have seen Mary at our Hallovve'en Party, Really she was the cutest boy in Reading. Rl-IEA l-IOYER Behold the most studious girl of our class! Rhea goes to church very often. XYhat is the attraction? VVhy do you enjoy roller skating so much? Is it for the same reason? CATI-IARINE. I-l. I-IUYETT Catharines Jet exuressions are Is m nose - M. 1 y yy shinyr and Do I have too much powder on? EMMA K. IMMENDORF Geometry teaches us that there is a reason for everything. Then why does Emma like Fleetwood? ESTI-IER MAY KAUF F MAN Patsy's little squeal of laughter would be recognized any place, even if we heard it in the Sahara Desert. Patsy's two interests are Croll and Keelss and Steins 1 JOSEPHINE EVELYN KEEN VVC wonder what the fortune teller told Eve- lyn that made her so excited? XVe hope it was the truth, at any rate. 4 I ' ' RUTH KERST If we could read Ruthys thoughts during school hours, we would find that they were all on one subject- Paul, Paul, Paulll' A. KATHARINE KLEES The tall, good-natured member of our class. She never can be seen at any time without a smile, not even at examination time when every- one else wears the gloomiest of expressions. ELIZABETH KORTENHORN The first glance at Elizabeth does not reveal her intelligence. She never seems to spend much time in studying but sometimes she seems to know most everything. She looks like a quiet, studious girl, but oh!-outside of school. RUTH M. KUTZ We hear that Ruth has a habit of visiting Mohler's on Sundays. What does she order there? We hear, too, that she is a shining star in Physical Geog. Ruth, where is Rome? ESTHER L. LANDIS Our Esther lives way up on the hill next to Nature. We think that is just the place for her because Nature doesn't make any objection to noise. Esther expects to teach school some dayg we think she ought to specialize in gig- gling, for she can always see a joke in every- thing. 42 Tl-IELMA LENICH Thelma says she is a man-hater-with a few exceptions. They are R- and E- and are the reasons for the numerous evenings she spends on the skating rink. HELEN E. LIVINGOOD This is our sweet little bobbed-haired Helen who loves dancing and music. Why does she like to play Lonesome for You ? We all know it's hard, Helen, when you're still a school girl -but he will wait. EMMALINE RUTH LEWIS 4 Emmaline loves to go to the basket ball games, so if you ever hear an excited squeal while you are in the Armory, you may be sure it is Emmaline rooting for the Reading team. HAZEL V. LOOSE Did you ever hear a very peculiar noise in the Main Room? That was nothing more or less than Hazel trying to keep from laughing. We know Hazel is interested in Shillington af- fairs, but she can tell you more about that than WC Call. ,IENNIE M. LORD What in the world can We say about Jennie in this little space? There is a lot we could say, but we will confine ourselves to telling you that Jennie is one of the best-known girls in the class, and leave the rest to your imagi- nation. jennie's permanent is the envy of every one in school. 43 RACHEL DERR MARCKS Rachel says she Wishes she were bright in- stead of good lookingj We wonder Why she always plays Chopin's Funeral March the night before an examination. rlimma is one of the bobbed-haired girls of the class. This isn't the only kind of Bob that Emma likes. ERMA MANDERBACI-I Erma is inclined to be absent-minded some- times, but we wonder what could possibly have been on her mind when she came to school one morning, wearing one black shoe and one brown one. EMMA E. MARINITZ This is VVoolworth's best saleslady. But, never mind, not everything in this store can be bought for ten cents. EMMA E. MENGEL MARGARET MILLARD Margaret claims the honor of being the sten- ography shark of the class, but she certainly hates Physical Geography. E' 44 HELEN R. MILLER If a race for the fastest talker in the class should be held, it would be safe to bet on Helen for the winner. But we will excuse you, Helen, for one cannot help getting excited, especially when talking about a certain young man of Franklin and Marshall College. FRANCES MOI-IR M. FRANCES MINKER Here we 'find another contestant for first award in the fastest talker race. If you ever went to No. 4 and Frances wasn't there, you may be sure that she was absent from school that day. Y, V Frances faworite business and pleasure is reading. She can give you a critical review on any of the yearls Best Sellers,' Cwe wonder what she will say about this Year Book-the very best sellerj. Frances, ambition is to be- come an artist, whether in the gentle art of coquetry or in painting we do not know. ELIZABETH F. OVERHOLSER Elizabeth always says uUse discretion. Practice what you preach, my dear! She is go- ing to Wellesley, and we know that, Harvard being so near, she will leave behind her a trail of broken hearts, as she has done in the past. ELSIE PEEL Isn't she the sweetest girl you ever saw? We are not the only people who think so, for it ap- pears that there is some other particular per- son that takes up much of Elsie's time. 45 Her favorite literature is the 'iEpitomel' and the HRed and Black. LORENE. A. RATI-UE. Lorene is another musical member of our class. She loves Christmas music especially, and we agree with her that the Carols are much more thrilling than mere jazz. MYRA J. RAUENZAI-IN Myra has great interests in Cleveland. Let's hope she never decides suddenly to leave us. SARA S READINGER Here we have a demure little maiden and we wonder if she will ever grow up. She loves to be questionedg so ask her what her favorite movie is and where she likes to buy her ice cream. Curiously enough, Bob is the only name that appeals to her. SARAH F. RISHEILL just look at this. Upon closer inspection we would judge her to be a very quiet and studious young girl, but alas, we must confess that looks are very deceiving. just mention Benny and see what she does. MARGUERITE C. ROBERTSON Marguerite is affectionately known as Con- trary Pegf' or as Peg-O'-My-Heart. She is a queer little lass, for one minute she is all smiles and the next looks like a small hurricane. 46 DOROTHY KATI-IRYN RUBRIGI-IT Now we gaze upon the giggles of the class. We are not sure whether this disease was con- tracted in school or on the street car. Dot . is famous, too, as a musician and as an elocutionist. NORA E. SCI-IAEFFER Nora tries to make us believe that she is reducing by not eating ice cream. We believe otherwise, for she has gained since she started to reduce. A. CAROLINE SCI-IMEI-IL Some day you will see this little lady behind the Berks County Bar, pleading a case with eloquent tongue and gesture. But just now she seems to be more interested in a certain person who wears a plaid coat and who walks in to Fourth and Court streets every morning with our Caroline. MARGARET MAY SEYLER Peg's life ambition is to be married. Peg tells us a lot about him. And she even named the neighbor's baby after him. SADIE L. SCI-IOENFELDT Why did Sadie receive a gold CPD medal? It is a beauty, and very appropriate, without a doubt, but we never knew just why it was given to her. Ask Sadie to show it to you. 4 7 . 4 CECILIA E. SHERMAN Hail to the reporter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. ETI-IEL Sl-IEF F IELD They say that all great minds have one weak- ness, and in Ethel's case it is algebra. But. don't worry, Ethel, for we all can sympathize with you. DOROTHY E. SMITH It's such a comfort to have Dorothy around, for she is always laughing at something. But sometimes Dot's gift of optimism is not appreci- ated and she has to stay at 3:10-but still laugh- ing. V 'RUTH M. SNYDER A R What an abundance of Ruths We have in our class! But the more the merrier, if they are all as nice as this one. MARIE SOMMERMANN Marie was going to write the class song, but she didn't know what key to put it in. We would suggest the door-key. 48 RITA W. SONDHEIM l t'Rita, Rita here's to you! , You're a good sport thru and thru And we know what you can do. Them's our sentiments, all right! MARY SORBER ls this Mary, or is it Anna? We never know until we hear the girl say, Let's eat! and then we know it's Mary, for sure. SARAH SPECI-IT Behold our friend! Did you ever hear Speck talking about Altoona and the Pretzel Bakery? Of course you all know' Altoona is Speck's future home. ESTHER CATHARINE STEELY VVell! YNell! Herels our sweet little Esther. A quiet Miss she is, but you ought to see her blush when she sees the Shillington trolley car. RUTH VALERIA STEFF Y Ruth knows that all policemen have jimmies even if they do happen to be their sons. Ruth has a habit of rolling her eyes, and we have heard that she does it unconsciously CFD whenfa certain person is looking in her direction. JANE B. STROI-IECKER How could a day pass if we didnlt see Jane 'Adisciplined? Or how could a period pass if we didn't hear something about dear Miss-? BESSIE COY TERREY The photographer had a great deal of trouble with this one, for though Bessie tried hard to keep those baby-blue eyes open she is always sleepy. Bessie is a genius at school, for she can attend school when her mind is miles away, either in thoughts of Rus. or of Annapolis. l CATI-IARINE MARGRETTA UXLEY Catharine takes the cake for being a quiet girl, but they always say that still waters run deep and perhaps the stillest waters run the deepest. RUTH E. WACNER Ask Ruth what hour the clock strikes when ' she comes home in the morning after doing the 'lPottstown Shuffle. No wonder the poor girl is always sleepy. MARGARET M. WALTER Margaret just came up for air. Since she joined the Y. W. C. A. Swimming Class she always imagines she's swimming. ' 5 0 good-looking man! Her father. NANCY WANNER Nancy is a girl who does not believe in wor- rying about anything. She is always willing to help you and cheer you if you need it. What's the use? is her favorite expression, ' MYRTLE E. WEIGLEY We wonder why Myrtle sits down so quickly when she is called on. Never mind, Myrtle, it may be a sign that you will be a famous lawyer some day. V 4 ET!-IEL MAY WERTZ Ethel likes to dance with one Bob, but she would rather go automobiling in a Chev, with the other Bob. IRMA L. WESTBROOK lrrna is. the class artist. She does beautiful dra'w1-ngs in Botany, and she is so thoroughly artistic that she even decorates all her school books with pictures of Barney Google and his well-known thoroughbred, Spark Plug. ANNA F. WHITAKER Anna can often be seen walking out with a SI 'A ' LUCILLE WHITAKER Yes this is Lucille, one of the belles of the class! What does that far-away look in her soulful eyes mean? It's surely not lessons, but- Hush, not another word! MARY ALICE WILLIAMS Here's to Mary, good and true, We shall give her what is due. She's a stenographer great and grand, And soon will be the best in the land, An earnest Worker, she will shine, But now we must end our little rhyme. MARTHA L. WILLWERTH Martha is chiefly famous for her anonymous telephoning. She is a dashing brunette, and some day hopes to wear a white cap and jam thermometers into people's mouths. Martha has interests here and in France, a certain young man named --. MARY ELIZABETH WOLF And here is our Mary. This dear child likes Meek, mild and gentle people. If you don't be- lieve us, look at her picture. Doesn't it suggest what we have said? Can you imagine Mary without her vanity case in hand? RUTH YETTER Ruth Cthe last in the list but never the leastl is known as Chic We wonder why she looks so serious sometimes but, then-we sympathize with her.

The Charles l... Miller Scholarship was presented to the school in June, 1923, by Mr. Charles C. Miller, a member of the Board of Edu- cation and a public-spirited citizen who has long been greatly interested in the cause of education. This scholarship is for the sum of five hundred dol- lars, to be paid in instalments of two hundred dollars a year for each of the first and second years, and one hundred dollars the third year. By the terms of the scholarship, the loan is repaid begin- ning one year after the holder's graduation, and the fund is thus perpetual. This scholarship is now held by Miss Frances E. Brumbach of the Class of I923 February, a Freshman at Syracuse University. Four Museum Scholarships were presented to the school in October, 1923, through the personal influence of Dr. Levi W. Mengel, Director of the Public School Museum and Art Gallery, whose wonderful work for the schools is well known. These scholarships are each for four hundred dollars. The persons holding these scholarships receive one hundred dollars for each of the four years, and start to repay one year after graduation, thus also creating a perpetual fund. Then, too, there is the R. l-l. S. Alumni Scholarship the privileges of which We have enjoyed since l905, alternating every two years with the High School for Boys. After January, 1924, there will be a separate scholarship for each of the two senior high schools. This scholarship means fifty dollars a year for two years. For the interest shown in the girls by these friends of our school, we are deeply grateful.

It was a bitter cold night in early December. The wind, moaning through the little seacoast village, made the out-of-doors so uninviting that few there were who cared to leave the warmth and cheer of their fireside to battle against the tempest raging outside. On this bitter cold night the dreamer of dreams, a little bent old man known to the villagers as Heinrich Hoffman. maker and repairer of violins, sat by the fire in his little workshop. On all sides were arranged violins in all stages of making, but for once their friend was deaf to their appeal, and sat sadly by the fire thinking of the happy long-ago. Suddenly a low moaning cry broke in upon his reverie! Startled, he got up from his chair, and going to the window tried to look out through the frosted panes, but he could see nothing but the blinding snow, driven hither and thither by its cruel master, tl1e wind. Wl1at a terrible nightly' said he to himself. God help those who are out in this stormf' Having again resumed his seat by the fire, the same low moaning cry once more came to his ears. He hastened to the door and fumbled for some time before the key would turn in its lock. While he is thus employed, let us learn something of his past history, Forty years ago when Heinrich was young, he had been known as the most finished violinist of his time. On the eve of his marriage with his childhood sweetheart, she had been stricken with a serious malady from which she had never recovered. Grief-stricken. he had turned to his violin for comfort, but before long an injury to his left wrist deprived him of this consolation. Soon after this he had disappeared and had come to the little village in northern Germany where we now find him. Living alone in his tiny house, surrounded by the violins he loved so well, putting a boundless enthusiasm and love into his work, he had lived thus for many years. For the first time in years, this evening, he was possessed by a great longing to once more impart to his violin the pentup thoughts of years, and it seemed as if his heart would break. just when the pain was hardest to bear, the cries already mentioned broke in on his nerves. Finally the key turned creakily in the lock, the door opened, and the old man peered anxiously out, but still could see nothing. As he turned to go in, another cry, seeming to 'come from his feet, reached his ears. Looking down, he saw a tiny boy, half-clothed and shivering with the piercing cold. Taking the child carefully in his arms, he shut the door and went back into his workshop where he placed him on a couch. and then proceeded to make him as comfortable as possible. For many days, the child was very ill, but at last health and strength began to return to the weak little body. During that time the little lad and the old man formed a strong attachment for each other which was never to be broken. All inquiries were made concerning the boy, but no one appeared to claim him, and so he remained with the old man. who called him Anton. The days that followed Antonls coming were happy indeed for the old man. He took entire charge of the boy, and cared for him as tenderly as a Woman. The child spent his days in the little workshop, watching his foster- father with wondering eyes. As time went on. he manifested an intense love of music. Carefully then the dreamer of dreamsl' began to teach him the rudiments of music. The boy learned rapidly, and many and many a dream did the dreamer of dreams dream to the accompaniment of the exquisite harmonies which fell from Anton's bow. As time went on, the boy's fame spread from his native village to the great world beyond, and before long people in high musical circles came to the little house, and carried him away. The youthful violinist was received everywhere by enthusiastic audiences, but although the admirations and attention he received were enough to turn the head of an older person than he, nevertheless, he remained the same and never forgot the good friend of his childhood. lContinued on page 691 6 6 IlllllllllllllllllllllHlllllllllllllllllllHHlllllllllllllllllllllllll,lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlI1llIIllIIIIIII.-IIIIllIIIIlIIIlIIl.lIlIIIlIlllIlllll!I11IIIIIIIIIIIIIIllInI.II.Illlll-llllll Manning 6: Armstrong Walk-Over Shoe Store 64 2 PENN STREET ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW Bone, Eagle 81 Co.

There day after day he sat, thinking of his boy Anton, and rejoicing in his success, and dreaming sweet dreams of his lost Elsa, whom he knew he would meet again before long. He grew weaker and weaker, until one winter day, the kind neighbor, who was caring for him, sent for Anton. Hastening with all speed to the bedside of his old friend, the young man arrived at the little house just as the sun was setting, and pushing open the door, walked into the workshop. All was quiet and still. Looking about, Anton saw the figure of his foster-father sitting in a chair by the window, apparently lost in some dream. Not wishing to inter- rupt, he crept quietly nearer, the better to look at the old man's face. The eyes were closed, the lips were parted in a smile of ineffable content, and then he saw that the Dreamer of dreams was no longer dreaming, but had gone to that far country where all dreams come true. -- i .., S HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Anniversary Parade, October 5, 1923 69 Free l..em'nade! RUTH BALTZELL KA True Storyl Free lemonade! Free Lem-onade! Step this way for the free lemonade! Ladies an' gents, some free ice-cold refreshing lemonade! just step this way! Dick,-Dick! and little Peggy tugged impatiently at her big brother's hand which she was grasping so tightly. Dick! What is that, Dick! that pretty red water F VVhat's that, Peggums? Oh he's probably a quack doctor and needs some patientsg you see plenty of them at circuses like this. Hi there, Bob, what do you say to going over to that side show? Bob acked his cousin Dick. The two young fellows were secretly enjoying themselves as much as, if not more than, little five-year old Peggy Madison whom they had agreed to take to the circus while Peggy's mother was preparing the house for the big wedding which was to take place the next day. The two boys started toward a side-show, but the little girl hung back, her eyes gazing wistfully at the big glass bowl of sparkling red beverage. Come on, Peggy, or we won't have timie sto see the elephants. Come, or are you tired? Bob attempted to pick up his little cousin. Peggy would not have it so, however, for she quickly scrambled out of Bob's arms, saying. l'm not tired! I want some free lern'nade. Buy me some free lem'nade, Bob, please,'l and Peggy appealed to both boys with her big blue eyes up- turned and her small rosy lips half smiling, half pouting. And so it shall be, my queen. Your every word is law, said Bob, laugh- ing as he picked up small Peggy. When she had had her fill of the novelty, Peggy was quite ready to be led away to the other sections of the circus, where she laughed in delight at the monkeys and gazed in awe at the elephants. It was a very tired and sleepy, but very happy little girl who told her mother of all the wonders of the circus that night. And mother, there was monkeys, and g'raffes and lephelants-and we saw a man jump thru a paper, and a girl that was swimming in the air, and some dogs with balls on their noses and-and, a lot of other things ! Peggy was quite out of breath at the end of this long recital. Well, wasn't that nice! Mrs. Madison said rather absently, wondering if her sister had remembered to buy gloves, and if the groom had persuaded that chum of his to be the best man at the wedding, and worrying over a thousand other things necessary for the big society wedding that was to take place the next day. A Very nice, dear, continued Mrs. Madison, but now you must go to sleep because if you are going to be the flower-girl tomorrow, you must have bright eyes. So go to sleep, darling. Yes, mother. Oh!-and there was a man there selling 'free lem'nade' and Bob bought me some and it was awfully d'lishes, and-make me some, sometime, mother, it's so-good, but Peggy's rebellious eyes closed, and she was asleep. But mother, why do they call them Mary-Janels? They aren't Mary- Iane's-they're mine! Peggy demanded the next afternoon while her mother was fastening her little patent leather slippers. Peggy darling, please don't ask mother so many questions. Now you are all dressed, Mrs. Madison sighed as she viewed her small daughter. And a pretty sight it was, for Peggy wore a pink dress trimmed with rose- buds, a beautiful pink ,bow was perched daintly on her golden curls, and pink socks and blackg' shiny Mary-Janes completed the picture. Peggy could hardly sit still, for her eyes were sparkling at the thought of walking down the wide stairs in front of Aunt Dorothy, with a basket of roses all her own, to throw on the floor. 'fNow dear, tell Daddy to come here, then go downstairs and stay with Bob and Dick until we call youf' In the drawing-room Peggy was well occupied in talking to everyone, promising roses to all, but she finally drifted over to her adored brother and cousin, content to listen to them, with the exception of an occasional question. lContinued on page 721 7 0 III' I IIIIII IIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII III IIIIIIIIII IIIII II IIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIII I IIIIII IIIIIII II IIIIIIKI IIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIII I IIIII I IIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIII IIII TI-IE HALLIVIARK STORE of Reading SPECIALIZINC IN C.

Continued Finally Bob remarked, 'Tm thirsty, Dick. Let's get some punch. I think it's over here. Come along, Peggumsf' and the three crossed the drawing- room which was by now filled with wedding guests. Ohf l That's free lem'nade, isn't it, Dick? Oh, goody, give me some, quick! Mother didn't tell me she was going to have some. Dick, why didn't she, Dick? , Free lemonade? Say, Bob, that's good! What would aunt Betty say if she could hear her young daughter comparing the punch with circus lemonade. Peggy, you get the cement shoe-laces, all right! The boys, after helping themselves, moved away, but little Peggy re- mained at the punch bowl, wondering why her mother had not told her that free lem'nade was to be served, and wondering if the rest of the guests knew it was there, and wondering,-but who knows what goes on in the minds of little girls? How often truth is stranger than fictionlu Free lem'nade-ladies an' gentses step this way for the d'lishes free lem'nade-ladies an' gentses! Every guest turned a startled face towards the corner of the room from which these most amazing words were issuing. What was their amazement to see their hostess's small daughter, the most serious expression on her face, standing on the table beside the punch bowl, flourishing her arms in a dramatic manner while she piped out her unusual invitation. Amazement gave way to amusement when the guests saw Mrs. Manners, a very peculiar expression on her face, seize her young offspring and bear her off to the upper regions. When next the guests saw small Peggy, she was descending the steps slowly, with her flower-basket on her arm, before the lovely bride. And it was with an amused sympathy that not a few of Peggy's friends noticed faint red stains on the little flower-girl's cheeks and nose, and saw her turn her head with a look of puzzled disappointment toward the punch-bowl.

DUNDORE Long ago in 1851, the great-grandparents of Mary Jane Smith went west and settled near a great woods in what is now the state of Minnesota. There they built themselves a little home in which they put many of their treasures of civilizationf' Among these things there was an immense grand- father's clock which is now famous because-well, you will find out shortly. One day, Mary Iane's great-grandfather went to town to buy provisions. He left at dawn and would not be back till dark. About noon, when his wife was feeding the horses in the stable, she sighted some shadow-like images moving stealthily from the woods toward the house. Lifting her skirts, she ran into the houseg grabbing her baby from its cradle, she opened the door of the clock and squeezed herself and her child into it. No sooner had she done this than a piercing shriek rent the air. It was the Indians! They burst into the house, saw the cradle still rocking, but could not find the people. Very much puzzled, they searched everywhere for inhabitants but, not finding them, they concluded they had some superhuman power that they could disappear so completely and quickly. If they had this power, the Indians dared not burn their house. So after an hour or two they departed quietly. In the meantime Mary Jane's great-grandmother was nearly suffocated, cramped from holding her baby in the close quarters, and praying every minute that her daughter wouldn't wake or cry. When the Indians left, she opened the door of the clock, stepped out, put the child in its cradle and fainted. When her husband returned earlier than usual, she had revived. She told him the story. That is why the old clock is dearly loved and is famous. '23 A Thrilling Moment MARTHA NXYILLVVERTH The night was dark and stormy. Huddled in a big armchair, I was deep in the middle of a most exciting murder story. Outside the wind howled and tore around the house in a rage. Oblivious to all else but my book, I read feverishly on. Each startling, mysterious word thrilled me and I con- tinued with bated breath as the plot crept on to the climax. Then came the exciting moment. The murderer was about to be caught. Suddenly there was a faint tap-tap on the window. A chilling fear numbed my senses. My eyes seemed glued to the page. My legs refused to move and my tongue felt parched. For a long time Cso it seemed to mel I sat there, immovable, as though turned to stone. Gradually my imagination worked less vividly and I realized that nothing dreadful was happening. Persuading myself that the noise existed only in my imagination, I started to read when there came that horrible suggestive tap-tap,'l like some ghostly fingers knocking softly, slowly on the pane. This time I am sure my hair stood straight on end and I sat bolt upright, staring straight ahead of me. Tap-tapf' Like one in a trance, I turned my head toward the window and beheld something moving in the dark.. My teeth chattered with fright. I don't know how long I would have sat there, staring at the Window, if Fate had not intervened. A voice called from upstairs! You had better come to bed now. That prosaic reminder broke the spell. Though still very much fright- ened I got up and walked to the window. Then- tap-tap. I looked out and saw it was but an overhanging branch of a nearby tree. .llllllllliiillII1lIIIIIIIIlllIllI!IIIIlIIIlllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllillIIIIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIIII!IIIIIIIIII!IllIIII!IlII!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllIlllHVlllllllllIlllllllllllllllli 7 5 Turning the Clock Backward OLGA M. ECE 'tThe End! The words made me start as they stared at me from the printed page of the book I had just completed. It was the sort of book that charms and holds the attention of the reader until the startling words The End appear to break in upon one's oblivion to the world one lives in. Startled, I at first gradually came back to life, sorry that I had finished the book. Then gazing at the clock on the mantel above the open fireplace, before which I was sitting, I thought how swiftly it was moving day after day, never hastening when one has an unpleasant task to do and fairly rac- ing when occupied in a pleasant one. How awful that stupid clock is! I soliloquized. f'I'd like to turn it backward good and hard, and hold it till I was ready to let it go. I scowled angrily at the offending time-piece, and sat there thinking and watching the bright flames of the tire leap up in their mad efforts to consume the fuel. Suddenly a queer face appeared. At first I thought it was only a freak flame, but I watched it as it grew larger and larger until I saw the face of an Indian brave staring at me. His body then appeared a11d he stepped just in front of my chair. His face was streaked with paint, and his head was crowned with feathers. The body of the fellow was decked with skins of animals, and he stood a bronze giant with rippling muscles. This sight fairly took my breath away, and I gazed at him in amazement, too scared to move. Then I saw he was about to speak and was still more amazed at hearing my own language fall from his lips. Oh, white maiden, he said, Hfear me not. I have been sent here to show you why the great spirit denies the right to stop the tide of years, to his subjects. Fear me not and follow me in silence. Following him, I passed out of the house and into a place unfamiliar to me. There were no streets nor buildings but only dense forests on all sides. I followed my guide closely, and on into the forests we pushed. Suddenly, without warning, we came upon an Indian encampment in a clearing among the trees, and my guide beckoned me to a hiding place behind some bushes, from which we would watch the people in the village. Indian Squaws were running swiftly to and fro, preparing huge slabs of dripping meat on sticks suspended over camp-fires. Indian warriors, with faces painted and hideously streaked, were seated in groups sharpening rude implements of war and talking in Indian dialect. Then I heard a voice loud and insistent. It was a voice giving the war cry. Louder and louder it grew until together with the vision of the Indian village it grew indistinct and vanished, and another picture formed. The second picture was that of a peaceful settlement of log cabins. Men in Quaker garb lounged about the doorways. Through the open doorways women in Quaker garments could be seen busily bending over open fire- places. A voice was heard. Slowly, in a chant, it was borne to my ears. Pax vobiscum, it sang in strains of indescribable beauty. Brimming with peace and harmony, it grew softer and faded away, while the vision changed. This time the scene was that of a few houses built of brick. Before these, horses were tethered pawing the dusty road impatiently. They bore saddles and knapsacks and to the side of each saddle a gun was strapped.

CLOCK BACKWARD, Continued Then several men in soldier uniform swu11g out of the houses and into the saddles and away they galloped, leaving only the echoes of hoof-beats and a voice singing in fiery impassioned strains To arms for Libertyfl This last picture was followed by another. Women dressed in the pic- turesque fashion of 1860 were leaning on blue-clad soldiers. Good-byes were being said and fathers left their family while a voice cried, Liberty to all and freedom to the Slaves. This time the scene that appeared frightened me with its familiarity. With a start I knew it to be a scene through which I had passed. On either side of a wide modern street were rows of houses. Along the curb stood people, while in the streets lines of khaki-clad soldiers, bravely smiling, swung along to the time of the HStar Spangled Banner. The sorrows and heartaches of these days were too recent to have lost any of their solemnity and impressiveness. - In the midst of my reveries I felt a touch on my arm and looking up I saw the room in udaich I had been reading. The Indian brave stood before me. l'Oh, white maiden! After seeing the visions you have seen, seldom viewed by mortals as you saw them, you have seen peace and wars, you should realize what people in years gone by have gone through. Today you are at peace with the world, though a great wound is slowly healing of recent sorrow. Be glad you're living in the present and never wish to turn the clock backward. Saying this, he vanished and left me to my thoughts to ponder over the great lesson I had learned.

EGE Long ago all flowers on earth were white, as white as the wintery snow. The fairies noticed that the flowers lacked something, and that something was color. So they planned a birthday surprise for Mother Nature. They planned to paint the flowers. Of course, it was to be a secret so they decid- ed to work at night, while Mother Nature rested, by the light of glow-worms and fireflies. All the flowers were gathered together, and the fairies sorted them on mushroom tables in their work shop. Then the painting started. Some tiny folk used the red of sunset on flowers with petals that curled about a center of golden threads. Others used, on the same flowers, the gold panned from babbling brooks while the sun shone. These flowers were named roses.l' Another group of fairies tinted lovely, graceful flowers that had leaves shaped like swords, with the turquoise of the sky at the horizon's edge where it melted into the sea. They named these flowers iris and filled them with gold from the sun's rays. Other fairies worked on tiny fragile flowers. They tinted these with blush from maiden's cheeks. Very carefully and daintily they worked, and they called these flowers Harbutusf' Some tiny modest flowers were dyed with gorgeous, deep amethyst which was found in the last sun's rays at twilight, lingering at the helms of cloud boats a-sail on the heavenly waters. The name of these flowers was 'fvioletsf' ln one group piles of willowy wands were being colored with deep gold gathered at the foot of the rainbow. Their name became golden-rods. Tiny hearts were being dipt into a luscious red color, the red blood of true knighthood. These blooms alone were drooping and sad and were rightly named bleeding hearts. Then as morning drew near work was hurried and one glow-worm fell into a pile of flowers with speared petals dyeing them gold. These flowers the fairy-folk named golden-glowfl Many more they tinted until, finally, just as the first faint streaks of a misty dawn trailed timidly across the sky, some brave fairy Hew aloft into the heart of the dawn with the few rare blooms, that alone remained uncolored. The pale lavender mist clung to their petals. And the name of the flowers became Uorchidsf' Hurriedly all the flowers were replaced. The sun lightly dipt its golden rays into the morning dew and another day dawned, clear and bright. Then Mother Nature awoke and saw her marvelous gift. Though only the oldest fairy-kin remember that wonderful night, the gift was a lasting one that still bears happiness to mortals. X f X J xy!! -.1 H N . W Ill 1-..-,.. T -- I -?' f-vp, :Zz 8 l A Trip to Mars HELEN HAssiNcER One clear, bright night, a thousand years ago, a little boy crept from his bed and quietly left the house. He was very excited, for he was going to travel to Mars. Outside, the streets were empty as everyone was sleeping the sleep of the dead. Augustus, for that was the little boy's name, stealthily walked around the house to the garage where his aeroplane was kept. It took him but five minutes to fill the tank with gasoline and take the aero- plane from its shelter. He then started the engine, and as it made a great noise and as Augustus was afraid his nurse would hear him and spoil his lovely trip, he quickly jumped into his aeroplane, and rose. When he was about one hundred feet in the air, Augustus thought he heard someone call- ing. It was a rather harsh voice, and he became frightened. He looked down and saw his nurse leaning out of the window, looking beautiful in her crimpers. . Augustus, come down this instant, or you'll be very sorry, she com- manded. Augustus, however, was launched on his voyage and decided nothing would stop his visit to Mars. So he rose higher and higher into the air and the last he saw of his nurse was her form leaning out of the window, frantically shaking her arms. Forget about her, Augustus! You must have your 'flingl The night was wonderful, the air exhilarating. Augustus' spirits rose with every hundred feet, and very soon he was feeling exceedingly well. From time to time, he looked over the edge of the aeroplane, and each time the earth became smaller and smaller, until it was a mere dot. It soon became colder, and Augustus had to bundle up to keep warm. He continued to rise about two hours more, and just as his gasoline was giving out, he arrived at Mars. A Augustus immediately noticed a change of temperature, and was com- pelled to remove his wraps. The planet was surrounded by a high gate, which shone in the moonlight. He passed over the gate and landed in a field directly inside. Augustus got out of his chariot, and walked over the field to a small house near the entrance to Mars. A little, fat man with a huge head and enormous ears had heard the buzzing of the aeroplane, and was standing outside his watchhouse. Augustus found out that is just what it was. The fat man wasstationed there every night to watch for any strange animals from Earth. The man held in his hand a long iron weapon which Augustus had never seen. He was wondering what would happen if he approached the fat man and touched it. He was soon to find out. The fat man was a wee bit taller than our hero. He stared at Augustus until the latter feared his eyes would drop out. Will you please tell me who you are, and where the king's palace is F asked Augustus. At the sound of the little boy's voice, the fat man ran into his house. Augustus wondered what in the world had come over him. Soon afterwards the fat man came out again and approached our little boy. He seized him and succeeded in tying Augustus' arms, after a short struggle. The fat man began to gabble a good deal, but Augustus was at a loss to understand him. , lContinued on page 841 8 2 HIS STORE extends its congratulations to the graduate stu- dents.

KELLER, Owner 336 Penn St., Reading, Pa. 83 A TRIP TO MARS, Continued At that moment a sleigh came up, driven by huge turtles. Augustus was pretty well frightened, but he wondered how these funny people could use sleighs in summer. Although it was winter on Earth, it was summer in Mars. Augustus was thrust into the sleigh and they began to move. The turtles seemed to run, although it took pretty long to get to the king's palace, for that was where they were going. You see, the little fat man had ordered the sleigh to take this strange person to the king, as he had never seen such a being before, and he certainly did not know what to do with him. The palace shone in the moonlight and seemed to be made of gold. It was a massive structure, but, strange to say, was upside down. Augustus wondered how anybody could enter a place like that' VVhen the sleigh came to a halt, the fat man pushed Augustus out and led him through the largest doorway. The door was a solid mass of gold inlaid with precious stones of every kind. Our hero was led through long, beautiful halls. They seem- ed to be walking on the ceiling while the floor was above them, the pictures were all upside down. After going through halls and a great many rooms, all of which were empty, they finally came to a great big reception room. A great many people were there. All were very small and fat with eyes bulging. The fat man made a queer noise, at the sound of which everyone turned around. The music stopped, the feasting stopped, the confusion stop- ped. Everyone was astounded to see this strange creature. iTlEy stared so hard that some of their eyes dropped out and rolled on the floor. The king was just as astounded as the rest, and for several minutes everybody looked. Augustus almost lost his eyes, too, looking at all these strange sights. He noticed that, at each side of the king's throne were lions. How- ever, they were turned around too. Their heads were where their tails were supposed to be, and their tails were where their heads should have been. At last the fat man moved and led Augustus down the long room, through the many people, to the throne. Our little boy noticed that the lions remain- ed perfectly quiet and seemed lifeless. The king began to speak to Augustus in that strange new language that he had never heard. Of course, he could not answer the king, for he did not know what had been said. After the king and fat man had whispered together, the king offered Augustus an iron weapon similar to that of the fat man. Augustus did not know what to do with it and playedwith it. But, goodness, he pressed the trigger and an explosion took place. For, you see, it was a pistol At the sound, everyone began to jabber and run around. Augustus was too surprised and scared to move. He saw the lions come to life, he heard them roar, and he knew they were upon him. He was powerless to run, but struggled the best he could. He kicked one, he punched the other. He seemed to be getting the best of them when- Augustus ! Augustus! Augustus lv He opened his eyes and saw his nurse bending over him. She was scolding at a great rate, for Augustus had mistaken her for the lions, and had disheveled her hair. It meant that she would have to comb it all over again. To punish Augustus, she did not allow him to go to the moving pic- tures that week. However, Augustus was satisfied to find that he was alive and that he was on Earth, and really did not care very much about the punish- ment. 8 4 XWACGREUQZWS QUALITY FQQTWEAR What other shop can give you the pos- sible variety, quality or style that we can in footwear?

The dimples came and went in Connie's face as she spoke, for Connie was pretty. Yes, Connie dear, I am very happy too, to think that we are really on our way to our first college dance. Won't you be glad to see jack though? This came from Connie's twin sister Beth, who had soft brown eyes and long, silky golden tresses. '4Will I? said Connie rolling her sparkling eyes, l'Well, I guess, and they say his room-mate is handsome. You're lucky to be invited for him. I hear he is real snappy, too. Well, I hope he's not too lively, for you know that I'm not. Just cheer up, kiddo, weyre going to have one peach of a time, and Connie ran her slim hand through her numerous marcelled waves. The conversation ran on, going from one anticipation to another, until carne the long awaited call of 'AAll off for Hill-Top College. Then there was a scrambling and a juggling, and a jarring until the twins had deposited themselves on the platform among three or four other laughing girls, who were evidently going to the dance also. I believe that's Iack's flivver, but whereys jack?l' Connie looked anxiously up and down the long station platform Here I am, and at your service, ladies, and, turning around, the girls beheld a dark good-looking young man who proved to be jack. Bill is on his Way and will be here any minute. Hello! Here he is now. See him? The twins just gazed at Bill, and even after they met him, they could not take their eyes from him. He was tall, light, and handsome. After a good deal of talking on the part of Connie, the four proceeded to climb into the car. It was just a short distance to the Phi Psi House, where the girls were to stay, so that they arrived without any delay. Then the boys left them with the promise to return that evening when they would all go to the big frat dance at the Country Club. Beth and Connie entered the cozy reception hall where a group of jolly looking girls were gathered around the big open fireplace, Oh, Connie I'm so scaredg arenlt you? Beth twisted the belt of her fur coat nervously. Shhhh, Beth! I am, but we must pretend to know all about it, and that we've been here loads of times beforef, At this a pretty little blue-eyed blonde turned to them and said inviting- ly, Have you come for the Frat Dance, too?

My sister's 11ame is Beth Brockwell, and mine is Connie, answered the young person without hesitation. Betty Jorden, a sweet little miss was raving about her Bob at the time, and Jeanne Prescott was saying that there was no one like her Jim. How- ever at the introduction of the two girls all conversation ceased. Connie immediately had the floor. K 'AOh girls, donlt you simply adore Frat Dances? I think they are absolutely marvelous and Connie went on with her so-called Kline. Well, to tell the truth, this is my first one but I know I shall have a wonderful time. This came from Beth. Girls, do you know what time it is? cried Jeanne. i'E,ight o'clock! We must rush lv And rush they did, into the one big room assigned to them. While they were all hurrying to unpack their suitcases, Connie whispered to Beth, You know, Beth, I'm ashamed of the dress mother made me bring with its little puffed sleeves. I'm afraid the girls will all laugh at me. I'm going to ask them what they think of it anyway. My dear Connie, cried Anne, 'tWhat beautiful material, but oh, how it is made! Come here quickly, Betty, wouldn't this be stunning without sleeves? Betty immediately assented and with her head to one side said thought- fully, And just a trifle lower at the neck, with all that filmy stuff draped to the back. Please let me do it, Con. I know just how it will look. That does sound good, doesn't it, Beth? Come, let's do it, cried Connie with enthusiasm. UGO aheadf, answered her twin, but as for me, I'll let mine be the way it is. I rather like the little puff sleeves and ribbons Then Beth smiled, as she fitted her little black patent leather pump on an extremely small foot. By this time the girls had Connie's dress draped extremely. i'My dear, why don't you bob your hair , suggested Jeanne. And you too, Beth. No, thanks, answered Beth. No bobbed hair for me. Connie on the contrary seemed to like the idea, and grasping a scissors in one hand and a lock of hair in the other, she said, 'KI-Iere goes. Half an hour later found the girls all ready. Doesn't Connie look marvelous? Don't you like her hair bobbed? All the boys will fall for her. But I do wish we could get Beth to dress a little more tricky. She looks pretty, but almost too sweet. 'I don't believe she will make a hit with the men. Hope Connie doesn't get my Bob. All these were among the whispers which passed between the girls. After the boys were there, there was very little time lost in getting to the Country Club. The first dance was in full sway, each one dancing with her partner. Connie was immediately caught up in a whirl dancing her second dance. Poor little Beth seemed doomed to disappointment. She was sitting alone in a corner while Bill was searching for his next partner. She realized she was not having so good a time as she expected, when suddenly she saw sit- ting a few feet from her a pretty young girl and a most handsome young man. And then Beth tried an experiment. She waited until h'e had indiffer- ently glanced in her direction, and with a desperate effort she lowered her long lashes, and turned up the corners of her wistful rosebud lips. Once he looked, twice he looked, and again he looked. Beth's heart was pounding. If only Bill would stay away long enough. Shyly glancing from the corner of her eye, she saw the young man introduce his partner to another while he, with a gallant farewell, stepped in her direction. Leaning down with a smile he said, Couldn't you possibly dance this dance with me ? 89 l'd love to, answered Beth modestly. And they danced. Betty jordan who was sitting along the edge of the floor nudged her partner desperately. L-l-l-look, she whispered harshly. There goes Beth Brockwell with Allen James, the 'Million-dollar Football Hero' of the East. How did 'she' get HIM? l'By Georgefl answered jim her partner, She must be worth going after. Me for her, next dance ! ' Betty was the picture of horror, JIM, she cried, How about Connieiw Nothing doing, young lady. That painted up, bobbed haired, chattering idiot-and that her twin-oh lord! Exclamations and gasps followed Beth in her dance around the wide floor, for Allen Jameson was seldom known to dance, and especially with a strange girl. The dance ended, and Beth was nearly smothered in the rush that followed so that Bill had quite a time entangling her from dance pro- grams, pencils, cuff buttons, etc. Throughout the entire evening Beth reigned supreme, and it was Connie's time to sit in a corner alone. And thus the dance ended. On the train, the next morning, Beth settled back happily with a box of candy in each arm, five magazines, and an address book filled with names and addresses. Connie giggled, Oh, you cute kid, you, but thank goodness you didn't get Jack. '23 Four Stages of Life MARY Focnr First! Our Freshmen, bless their hearts, Try most hard to learn their parts. Then!

Here the fairies come to play, And crickets bask the days away. Above there shines a sunlit sky With birds a-wing in cloudland high, Against the azure blue they sail Like gems of jet in sapphire pale. About the pool the emerald sheen Of dewy sparkling grass is seeng The buttercups in yellow dressed Like topaz jewels upon it rest. In shadows cool the spot abounds With here and there the grassy mounds Beneath which tiny fairies dwell Asleep, until the fairy knell Sounds clear and loud the waking call, And then to play run one and all. A thousand winged creatures play In golden green and blue away. The brilliant water glist'ning shines With dazzling hue beneath the pines Which guard the pool from mortal eye And watch while untold years go by. For years to come the pool will stand A gift of God to grace this land. Autumn MARGARET B. SNADER The grass, the flowers, and the trees Are swaying softly in the breeze, While autumn with her red and gold, Makes Nature lovely to behold.

DICKERT Oh, what is so green as a Freshman, Who walks up the main room aisle, Staring with eyes straight before her, Not even daring to smile? Oh, who is so silly as a Sophomore, That product of one High School year, Who has mastered the fine art of giggling, And learned main room teachers to fear? Oh, what is so jolly as a Junior, Who now that two long years have passed Is anxious to finish the third one And step proudly into the last? And who is so wise as a Senior Proficient in all High School art, Who now that the year's almost ended Is wishing 'twere just at the start? General Mathematics ISABEL HoUcK Arithmetic is the beginning Of many a woeful tale, How many board feet Contained in one fence rail? Algebra with its equations, And factors, and terms, and powers, Has caused many a weary brain To struggle for hours and hours. Geometry is a puzzle, To many girls, I know, just a little concentration Proves which way the lines will go. Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry We have them at our call, We've spent many hours in studying them But I'm sure we'll find use for all. 7 H1 H V lillllllllllllllll II llll HHllllllllllIl1llllllllllllllllllllllllIHHlillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllVHlIlllIllllllllllllllllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllVVllIlllllllllllllli5IllllrlillllllllllllllllllllllNllllllllllllilllllllillllll IIS 5 ' ' ai .W 0:11 W :PSS 493 Q . .4 - vi fixfn ,BN lJ 3, 1 -1- ,-f---. .L , .e .- p m f if F i - s e - so i -' .yfff .V 8 it X' G' , .-i1 'D' C' 'ii ' Q v X .

SARTORIUS Mary Louise Catherine Anderson, l'm in love ! Thus announced Angela Parlsee, man hater of the class, room-mate of Mary Louise Anderson, and recent victim of Cupid's dart. Angela Parlsee, you're not ln gasped the stricken Mary Louise. You are, youlwho is he, when did it happen, where did you meet him, how old is he, what does he look like, where does he go? Don't stand there gazing at me. Tell me! Do you hear? But the dreaming Angela continued to dream to the distraction of Mary Louise. And no wonder poor Lou was shocked! During the three years at college, where the girls were roorn-mates, pretty Angela Parlsee had been rushed by every good-looking, eligible man, and she had retained an un- touched heart. Indeed, a day never passed but what the cold-hearted Angela raised her voice in derision of love. Really, the girl was stony-hearted and hard to please. In Angela's own words, 'Alt would be some man she'd fall for. No wonder then, that Maary Louise was frenzied to hear about the young Apollo-he could be no less, He must be Appollo's equal to win the capri- cious Angela's interest. But no satisfaction did the excited Mary Louise get, beyond the fact that he was just wonderful, he danced divinely, he was marvelous, adorable, he was the most god-like creature on earth. Such eyes had never before been seen, such a radiant being had never before beheld the light of day. Angela had met him at a house party. No, she wouldn't tell his name, but dear Mary Louise should see him very soon, this very year, this very month, this very week, tomorrow, to be exact. And so she raved on and on, endangering Mary's mental balance. The next day dawned fair and clear. It was Saturday and the girls had no classes. Slowly the morning hours dragged. In her excitement Mary Louise broke two nails, burnt her bangs, upset the flower vase on a freshly laundered blouse, and spilt the last of her powder. As soon as they had finished luncheon, the two girls dressed-Mary Louise rapidly, Angela slowly, dreamily, painstakingly. The hour drew near! A visitor was announced. Angela went down to the tiny drawing room to receive her visitor. In a few minutes Mary Louise ran down the stairs, ran, though she tried to walk in a dignified and sedate manner. Angela, radiant, met her at the door. Softly she whispered, Here he is!'l Mary Louise looked and nearly dropped. There stood a tall, thin, lean and lanky, loose-jointed creature, who bore a striking resemblance to Ichabod Crane. His all but crossed-eyes blinked fishily at her from behind heavy glasses, and his expansive mouth expanded still farther in a silly grin. Mary Louise Catherine Anderson dropped hastily, heavily, forcefully, into a nearby chair. Love was blind. iliiilllIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIlltillIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllillIIIIllllIIi'IHIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIllllIIIIIlllllliI.IIlllilIlllllllllllllltlllllllHHHIHFlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHllHNlllllllllllllllIIIlIllllllIIIllllllIIIIIllllllIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll I37 i1HllW!'H1Z,ii!1,HN HIEIELI fl1HMiHHIiHiW1,1wii:,N!u'-WTNM, ,, .KU1WHlii!i!1Iil!HIHHIH Monuments and Tombstones All Kinds of Cemetery Memorials P.

EARLY 1 , f A 1 l November 6, 1923, will be an evening remembered by ' l. the faculty and class of june, '24, as one of the most wg pleasant spent together. At 8.00 P. M., in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium the members of the faculty, escorted if Xx by various members of the class, assembled for a real 'fgood time Everyone was attractively costumed and the hall had a very festive appearance. The first event of the evening was the grand march, headed by Miss Mayer. From this line of masqueraders, Miss Eld- ridge was said to be the prettiest thereg she was dressed as Hebe, a Greek Goddess Mrs. Hood was the funniest and best disguised, being costumed as a witchg and Miss Boyer, playing the part of an Indian maiden, had the most original makeup of all. Ada Fehr, a very complete and laugh-provoking f'Sis Hop- kins, was given the prize for being the funniest girl. After the grand march many games were played, both amusing and hair-raising. and kept the guests going The refreshment committee made a big hit with their delicious goodies. After the disappearance of Hal- lowe'en foods, several members of the class played dance music and the teachers proved themselves eager terpsichoreans.

Bones, as his fond master called him, was the toast of the friends of Lawrence. He had been found by his present owner in Wright's back yard, being then very tired, dirty, and hungry. The boy was so happy over this discovery that all the above details were remedied, and Bones was his forevermore until death would them part. Mfaster Wright's best friend was Johnny Bowen who lived round the cor- ner from him. They could be seen whenever free, with Bones tagging faith- fully at their heels looking, at times, wistfully in their faces as if desiring to get a word in, too. One day Lawrence and Johnny, with Bones lying respect- fully in the background, were in conference in Wright's yard. The subject of this conference was none other than girls Lawrence was fortunate in not possessing a sister, but Johnny was doubly cursed with having two, and twins at that, Elizabeth and Joyce, like as two peas, were two years his junior and the torment of his life. They had been a torment for Lawrence, too, until now, in his thirteenth year, he began to notice how graceful girls can be, as compared with boys, and how dainty and pretty they are. Now these twins were not hard to look at, for they had lovely curls and eyes. So naturally Lawrence, much to Johnny's disgust, had a soft spot in his heart for them. He rather preferred Joyce to her sister, not because she was prettier, kinder, or in any way superior to her sister, but simply because Joyce in his mind was a far lovelier name than plain old Elizabeth. To go back to the conference, we find Johnny earnestly protesting against having his ol' sisters present at a Hallowe'en party he was going to give in his shanty, located in the Bowen's yard, for his friends. They ain't neces- sary at all,l' protested John. Aw, but they won't hurt anyonef' Lawrence said, staunchly upholding his cause. 'Well, if you give me your dog to be my very own for two weeks, I'll let my ol' sisters come and bring some other ol' girls to spoil our fun, he finally agreed. This speech was unexpected, and Lawrence, pondering deeply. realized how much space his Bones took a part in his life. He knew for two whole weeks no dog would follow him to and from school and everywhere else he went. No dog would answer his whistle at any time of night or day. Were these girls worth it for one night's fun? That was the problem. Finally, with much apprehension he said meekly enough, That's a go, and turned to answer his-mother's call for dinner. Until the very night of the party no inkling of the expected presence of girls got abroad to disturb the young minds of the males who were to join in the night's fun. Johnny, who was inclined to be pessimistic, thought it would break up the whole affair. The shanty had put on a holiday attire and at dusk grinning pumpkins looked out innocently enough from the door and windows. After a time a big, creepy ghost stood in the doorway to admit and greet the boys. One by one they came, and how fantastically they were dressed! But Lawrence VVright was especially resplendent in a Lord Faunt- leroy suit his mother thought very beautiful and fitting to wear Cnot know- ing the fierce rebellion in her little son's'heartD. He had been annoyed and vexed to the point of not wishing to come at all, but the thought that Joyce would probably like the handsome costume urged him on. At last, the guests had all arrived, that is, all but two, and to his dismay and surprise neither Joyce nor Elizabeth was present. The fun of the evening began, and Lawrence was the butt of many jokes relating to his garb. The boys called him sissy, mamma's Angel child, and teacher's pet. Even on this night of fun and general good will Master Wright's ears grew red and his face crimsoned, for he began to feel terribly out of place.

It attracted great attention and johnny happened to get it. He tore it open and this note came out: I thank you boys kindly for your invitation but when I knew it was brought about by the kind feelings of Little Lord Fauntleroy whom we were observing all evening, I resolved to stay away. So did my sister. It was signed ,Ioyce Mary Wright. Lawrence choked and coughed, and spluttered pitifully. The boys roared with laughter and pointed out our ladies! man. Embarrassed to the point of distraction, things appeared hazy to this little lord. The only object plainly visible was the kindly face of Bones who, scenting that all was not well with his master, looked wistfully at him. Ah, girls were cruel, boys were cruel, indeed, the whole world was cruel. But Bones, dear Bones, was a friend, a true friend. And then he remembered that for two weeks this last ray of happiness was to be denied him just because of old girls! Silence ls Golden LILLIE A. WITMAN Aunt Ruth scowled across the table at little Dorothy, who, as usual, was chattering like a magpie. f'Child, she said sternly, do you know that silence is golden? Dorothy stopped speaking and gazed at her aunt in astonishment. So after all, it wasn't a fairy tale that places were golden. Directly after supper she was sent to bed, for she had been unusually mischievous that day. She cried herself to sleep. Soon she was walking in a beautiful park, but the bright light dazzled her. 'lWhere am I? she thought. just then she saw a beautiful palace be- fore her which glittered and shone in the sunlight. All around it were sta- tioned guards arrayed in shining golden armor. She finally plucked up courage enough to ask one of the guards where she was. He said in a gruff voice, This is Silence! Now she understood. Her Aunt Ruth had, of course, visited this beautiful place, for was it not she who had told her that Silence was golden? She walked on and on, over gold streets, beneath a golden sky, through gilded gateways and glittering parks. She saw golden trees shining in the sun. The houses were of gold, the people all wore golden clothing. Birds of gold flew all about her and gold-tinted flowers bloomed in every garden. By and by she saw a river of pure flowing gold. How beautiful everything was! She wondered why her aunt Ruth had ever left this spot, for she was certain that she would never go back home. Gold, gold, gold, nothing but gold. Golden peacocks were in the palace garden. Golden fruit hung upon the trees and the grass upon which she walked was golden. She wished her mother and father were there to see the beautiful gold. But wait! She had an idea! She would go home, tell them about this won- derful land and then they'd all come there to live forever and ever. Oh, w0uldn't it be wonderful to live her whole life in Silence Dorothy, Dorothy, it's time to get up. So, after all, it was only a dream. But, at any rate, she had been to Silence, and she planned to tell Aunt Ruth that she knew of that place and could tell people that Silence is Golden. llllHIllliIIlIlIlllIH!lIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllvlllllHHH!illiIIIIIIIlllliHI!IIIlllllillllIllIIIIIIIIIllIlllIIIIillIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllIIIIIIIIlllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIlIIIIIII l 4 2 Mlm' Hi ,llllillltllll Illllllliillllllllllllllllllliliiifllii llii1irliiIW1l1i1lllliillllllliiillllllli 1 lill . lll II lll I lliitllllllllillllllIllll1llIIIll:Illllllll4IIlllIAH!IIIIiIllllill1lIilllI!l.IIIIllIIllllI'l' lllllliwll' Elite Baths and Beauty Parlor MARCEL WAVINQ, W .

Their invalid mother was obliged to spend most of her time in a wheel-chair, because of an accident. One day the mother called them to her and said, Here, Etta, is my watch. I always intended it for you, being my eldest child. It was a gift from my mother. The heirloom was a priceless piece of jewelry, with a large diamond, surrounded by pearls. For you. Marion, my medallion, she said, handing her younger daughter a fine gold case which, in touching a tiny spring, revealed a beautiful girl's face, oval in shape, with clusters of light curls, much like Marion's own face, but really her mother's. A look of displeasure immediately crossed Etta's countenance. Didn't mother know that she always wanted the medallion? Of course, the watch was the most valuable, but hadn't mother always reminded them that the most lovable and considerate should receive her most precious gift? How many times had Marion given up pleasure to keep her mother from being lonely, especially after mother's accident? How bitter were the thoughts to Etta! She had supposed mother would forget. Finally each one took her gift and put it away in her little jewel case. Nothing more was said till an anniversary which was held in the parents' honor not long afterward. The guests had arrived. The girls were donning their lineries. Etta, beautiful and regal in her shimmering white satin gown with the watch suspended from a chain of glittering gold, appeared. Marion, wearing her pale blue satin which matched the sea-blue depths of her eyes, looked equally charming, though her beauty lay in her demureness. Sud- denly she exclaimed, 'iOh, my medallion! I can't End it, and I know I put it here. Then, not wanting to mistrust the guests, she tried to conceal her tears. After the last one had departed, they searched everywhere, but without avail. Years passed. The girls were married. The parents had fallen into their last sleep. The old homestead was sold. Marion's husband bought it. One day, about ten years later, her own little Marion lifted a tiny board fitted in the floor. They were in the den which had been Etta's room. Oh, mother! Look what I found-a watchf' exclaimed the excited child. Marion looked. There was her lost medallion. Etta had stolen it for re- venge. No one had ever suspected her. Now Marion knew what Etta had tried many times to tell her, but had never been courageous enough to do it, Now Etta too was sleeping beside the mother. Marion forgave her, pressed the gift to her lips and passed it on into her own Marion's keeping. lllllllllmlllllllllIIIIIlllllIIlllllllIlIlllIIIIIIIIIIIlIIlllIIlIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH4HH!IlIIIIIllIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllillllllllllllillllllllllHllllllllIH!HHUlllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllltlllwllHIIlH4iII'llE!lil.- I 4 4 I I I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHIHIIIIIIIII II II H IHHHI I H.HH HHHHI'HH'HH'IIHHHHIH'I'HHIIIIIIII' IIIIIIIVIIH II I H HI II,I ,HHI IH IIIHHH IIIHIHIIIIH H II IIIHH III H HHH I HH I H III HHH You, who know all the arts of cooking, know the only way is the EAS WIN?

Fif-all, was the shout which followed a well aimed ball and slowly the score rose. The match was close, but Diane won. She was a delighted victor, and he wasn't a bit crestfallen at having so charming a conquerer. Diane Ralston was a charmingly demure miss of nineteen summers, as pretty and slender as an anemone, with soft grey eyes and golden brown hair. Spencer Waiiiright, the conquered, was a clean-cut, athletic chap with hair that wouldn't stay smooth, but which persisted in curling. In addition to his physical charms, he possessed a magnetic personality and a millionaire father. Diane and Spencer parted with words of reminder of the evening ball. Diane was a vision in that daringly beautiful blue of autumn skies. Her lithe young figure was shown to advantage and from beneath her gown peeped a pert few inches of silver stockings, dainty slippers, and ravishing ankles. Her dress brought out the gold in her hair and the hidden beauty of her eyes. She was so charming and so modest that here among these she caught and held interest by her remoteness from their gaiety. Diane looked ill at ease, and Spencer asked, Are you enjoying yourself, Diane F Not exactly, I don't feel quite at ease. Here the orchestra struck up a dreamy waltz, and Diane and Spencer glided off. How different she was from the rest, thought Spencer. She looked like a young lady, while the other girls, in their fluffy knee-length dresses, looked as if they had wandered out of a kindergarten party. Diane noticed that Sky Taylor and Betty Mayner were on very intimate terms, and as the evening progressed she heard whispered rumors of their engagement. Diane feared the results, for Betty was young and impulsive, Sky, settled and sedate. As Diane and Spencer paused, a voice, childish and questioning, said, But what difference do any old temperaments make when we love each other? Not wishing to eavesdrop, Spencer and Diane stole into the conservatory. ' Diane's charms were too much for Spencer, as the much embarrassed chap, fldgeted and stammered when he asked-oh, you know what. B-b-but, Spencer, I thought we were just chumsf' f'Yes, Diane, until tonight. Please, Spencer, may I consider until the beginning of the fall term? Reluctantly he gave his consent. We'll still be friends? Most certainly! Diane emerged from the conservatory, more ill at ease than she had been ever before. All summer Diane considered this extremely perplexing problem. Sister Peggy was so hopelessly in love that she could give no advice to Diane. Even mother didn't understand. Diane explained, 'fBut l've always wanted a career, and a husband im- pedes a woman's progress. But, dear, think of the brilliant match. Yes, mother, that does mean something, but if only you knew how much more a career meant to me. Things have changed, and marriage isn't the ultimate objective of women of our day. Feeling as guilty as could be, she told Spencer of her decision to sac- rifice marriage for a career. He stormed and raved and wouldn't take no, The petted and pampered only son, however, was forced to yield to a slip of a girl's decision. Months dragged on, launching these two on life's sea after graduation.

In the years that followed, doubts assailed both Spencer and Diane. Had she been repaid for these few years of search for career? Diane questioned. Had these years of partial waiting for Diane brought him closer to her P wondered Spencer. One day fate decreed that they should meet. On the sunny Californian shore, where both were spending a vacation, all differences were patched up and happiness seemed inevitable. The declaration of war by the United States came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Over the whole nation a call to arms was being answered by loved ones. Diane felt the necessity of doing her part and she, after a few months of preparation in a hospital, embarked for France. Spencer was commissioned by the government to turn his steel concern into a govern- ment munition shop. He enlisted, but was rejected because the government decided he could do more by supervising the making of arms and explosives. It was too much for any able-bodied man to see a woman as delicate as Diane go into the jaws of death while he had to stay at home. Under an assumed name, Wainright embarked for France. For many months Diane worked unceasingly in her efforts for humanity. Many dying hours she had made easier, and many were the times she saw life's sparks depart. She had been a mother to many now lying beneath the soil of France. Spencer knew nothing except that Diane was Somewhere in France, and that was all Diane knew of him. All night the shells roared and the cannons boomed. Steadily Spencer's regiment sought to check the hordes of Germans who sought to capture the hospital. With thoughts of the wounded, they pushed forward on the blood- stained battle field, and just as dawn flushed the sky, the Americans gained a victory. Diane was making her morning rounds when she recognized, in a tossing patient, Spencer. Her heart sang out and her heavy work seemed merely play. Fate had again thrown them together, but Diane was not sure that it was to stay, for death hovered over Spencer. In the gamble, life won over death, and he was on the road to recovery. All the time he was unaware that the tender hands which ministered to him were Diane's. One day, when the bandages were removed, he recognized in the dainty uniformed nurse, his Diane. Miss Belle Durland, the head nurse, soon discovered Spencer's hand- someness and set about to gain his love. She donned tight sleeves, curled her hair, and read Browning to him in her efforts to win him. One day she brought his lunch, and while she was hovering over him, she spilled hot soup down his back. That was the climax. Dr. Armstrong, the hospital surgeon, removed her and installed Diane in her place. Weeks came and went and Spencer was sent to England to recuperate. Dear old Dr. Armstrong saw that Diane needed a rest, so he sent her to Spencer. When they met, they decided that before fate should again separate them, they would be married. ln stately old Bartholomew's they were united after their obstacles had been surmounted. Peace came and passage for North America was secured, and after the absence of a year they saw their native land. At home Betty and Sky were happy, no temperaments being in evidence. All in that household revolved upon a certain little personage with Betty's eyes and Sky's chin. Belle Dur- land, the hospital vampire, succeeded in impressing her charms on one of the staff, and she really proved a good wife. Dr. Armstrong had gone west, Happy years were in store for Spencer and Diane, their love being stronger, liner and purer, for all the trying experiences to which it was subjected. f.'llIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllIlllllllIllllIlKIllllIIIKIIIIIIlllllllllllIII!I!IIIIllllIllllllllllHll1lllll1llHllIIlllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHUIHHllllllll1NH1llllllI1IllllIIIllllIIIIllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllll I49 llllllllllllllllIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIllIllllllillllllllllllllllllllHHll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlillilIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIHlllllllillllllllllllllHHI1lllllllllllllHHIIHHHNllllllllllllllllllllllNWlllVHlllllllll1l1Hllllllllllllllllllllll' l ll l l FULLER BRUSHES 618 Washington Street BELL PHONE COMPLIMENTS OF Reading Rag Sc Metal Co. 707 MOLINO STREET READING, PA.

MARCKS Mendelssohn said, What a divine calling is music! Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing and carries us away so far from town, country, earth and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of Godfl Some one else said that Music is our fourth material want. First food, then raiment, then shelter, then music. This may seem exaggerated, but there are no people in the world today, who, no matter how much they dis- like music, do not at some time or other desire it. Music has wonderful powers. It possesses the power to soothe, to gladden, to sadden, and even to move to tears. In this busy world of today a large part of our lives is spent in the rush and whirl of business or pleasure. Nerves are keyed to such a pitch that when we need relaxation it must of necessity be some- thing loud and clamoring, nothing low, soft or subdued. As a result we have today the jazz-Mania. Is jazz music? Most people would say it is. But do men, in writing jazz, express their thoughts, do they speak their souls through jazz? To lovers of real music, jazz is simply a collection of notes, in which it is sometimes hard to distinguish the melody and in which every chord is ac- cented as loudly as possible. An exception to this is found in some waltzes. The only htting place for jazz is the dance hall and there we sometimes question its fitness. Many people consider it an art to be able to play jazz correctly. However, it is certainly not an art to be sought after by real musicians. Shakespeare said: Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace, Yet grace must still look on. We say: f'Though jazz would bear the name of music, Yet real music must still remain so. If the old masters could return to us and hear how their noble art has been perverted, they would be sad indeed. Let us ever strive to cultivate a desire for the best in music, as in all else.

WITMAN Was there ever anything so ridiculously monotonous as a music lesson? Music is wonderful, but I often wish that someone would invent a beautiful method by which one could be inspired to play well without taking those boresome music lessons. The music teacher arrives. He says, 'AHOW do you do? or something to that effect, and you reply and invariably ask him the same question. A few casual remarks Qusually about the weatherj are made while he is ab- sorbed in the process of shedding his overcoat. Then you seat yourself be- fore the piano. You know you havcn't practiced much, but you rely on your ingenuity Qif you have anyb to get through. First comes the second page. You are beginning to feel that your teacher may have a slight suspicion that you donlt know your lesson very well. You stammer out that well-worn excuse that you spent most of your time prac- ticing your piece. You try that. It is a failure. You are told to take each hand alone and you go through the ordeal. You murmur that sentence to yourself that you don't understand what is the matter, that it went all right when you practiced and you can't see what's wrong. You start on the piece bravely and begin to regain more of your former confidence when you are told not to run away with it, or the next part won't go so smoothly. You are piqued, but resolve not to slow down your time and keep picking up your speed. You reach the next part. You don't play it, you simply try, with Spartan fortitude, to get the right notes. You are ready to give up in despair when the day is saved by the an- nouncement that the time is up. He gets up. You sit up. He prepares to go and wrestles with his over- coat. You begin to think that, after all, you may not have done very badly. You accompany him to the door and then, the horrible, suspected and dreaded truth, Goodbyeg spend some time on your lesson for next weekf, You try to smile, say goodbye meekly, and go into the house feeling like the worst of criminals. millIIIIIVIllIIllIIIllIlllllImlllllllllilIIIlllllIIIIIIIIIIII!!IlUllllIlllNUIIIIlllllllllllllllllIIIllIIIllllllll1Ill1IllllllIIlllllIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIlIllllIIIIIIIllIIlIAIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllil I56 l ll lll ll llll lllllllllll ll 1 lllIillllilllilllllllillllllhll 1 X l ll lllllllllllll ll 1111 1 1 ll lll II II FH!! 1 ll ll -1 A YJ ?f I' fl I 4 P 1 KX IX .is . l V. j . 1 5 , 4' .1 I Qs N 1' 'fill I Index to Advertisers Page Acorn Hosiery Mills .............. 96 Albright, Mrs. Fannie L.
