The echoes vibrated and vibrated until as before, they Hnally died away in the distance. Again they tried as before, but the music, at Hrst plain, gradually became fainter and fainter, until, at.-last, it entirely passed away. Jack, Ralph and Tom never closed their eyes for sleep and scarcely ever took time to eat. Many people from town came out to help in the search and from the whooping and yelling going on you could hardly be- lieve it possible that any one could be concealed there- in, who could not hear these things and come to them, but their efforts were as useless as those of the boys. Still the soft mellow music of the violin could be heard as it floated against the rocks and sent back a mellow, soothing echo, but as before, it seemed that all eforts at locating them were as useless as if the sounds could not be heard. Saturday morning, one week later, and still Billy had not been found. On the preceeding day the violin had only been heard at intervals and today it was not heard at all. This was one of the greatest disappoint- ments the boys had met, for it seemed, if they could not find Billy, while they could hear the music, they certainly would stand a poor show, when they could not even hear it. Many times they wondered why they never heard the violin again. Some said that Billy had given up all hopes of being found and he had thrown his violin away and began trying to find his way out. Others said he had died of fear, while yet a third class said he went into a deeper recess in the cave from whence the music could never be heard again. All these ideas were current at the time, but suiiice it to say, Tom, Ralph and Jack gave up the starch two w.cks later and with sorrowful hearts. went to their respective homes wnere they remained one week. They came back to school Monday, just one morth after the time they had left upon their outing trip and they were much changed by their ex- periences. Neither Jack or 'Iom received first honors in the class, but instead of working so much upon their lessons, they, with Ralph, often visited Buz- zard's cave and there listened and looked unconscious- ly for Billy and sometimes when they sat thus for many minutes, Ralph, who was more nervous and ex- citeable than the others, would stretch out his hand demanding silence, HHist! I haar him, listen, and no matter if the boys still looked and listened eagerly for the time, it was not with the expectancy of hope but of disappointment and sorrow. After some time the boys began to somewhat forget their trouble and became again friendly with their school mates, but never did they again seem as free from care as before it all happened. There was a sad exprission upon each face, a far-of troubled look in each eye, and a melancholy countenace which betray- ed their ever-present acusation, He died and I am to blame. , 'Fen years lat r three young men of extraordinary ability as men of the nation, placed a fine monument at the entrance of Buzzard's cave and the simple in- scription read as follows: -JG -I 96 -it -lt -D6 it 46 -lf 49 it .59 69 il TO THE MEMORY 9' if OF BILLY COON. J' an af THE FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY On October 3rd a great clamor was heard in the High School chapel, and upon going to see what was the cause of the excitement, we found it to be the Fresh- men holding a class meeting to see about having a class party. iAfter pleading with Arthur for some time, they succeeded in convincing him that it was his duty to give them a class party. Some of the per- suasions were as follows: Say, Arthur, if you'll have it, I'll come, t'Oh, Arthur, we'll furnish the refreshments. came from the whole class in abreath. Say, Arthur, if you'1l have it, we won't invite a one of them teachers, said one of the boys who knew Arthur's weak point. 'Ihat's a go, answered Ar- thur, and all gathered around him to make further ar- rangements, when Ula asked, Reckon your ma'll let you have it, Arthur? Law, yes, she let's me have most anything I want! - The next morning Arthur was met at the southeast corner of the campus by the greater part of the Fresh- man class. Arthur, kin yer have it? cme in a cho1'us. Aw, ma said I couldn't have it, 'less I in- vited them 'old teachers, said Artnur, with a dis- gusted look on his face. Well, 'es have 'em, Ar- thur, we 'll all go early and play a few kissen' games 'afore they get there, said Ula, encouragingly, for he could always fix things up so nicely. Yes, said Pearl, and I don 't think welre likely to have 'em all anyway. for Erma is goin' home, and Miss Eitzen is almost sick. Ula's plan was agreed upon and encouraged by Pearl's words, they proceeded to have another class meeting. Now, said Blanche, 'fare we going to decide about the refreshments this morning? Sure,'l said Ora, t'that's the important part, what are we goin' to have to eat? Yes, said Orville, rising, that's where I shine, and let's have something nice, let's have some pink ice cream, and red lemonade, and some ham sandwiches and some-cherry pie, and- Some cranbrrricsf' yelled Karl, Hand some fish, said Orville, undisturbed, and thinking out what he liked best, ard some pear preserves, and Iinish up with hot biscuits and butter and honey. 'fNow, all of you get quiet and lct's decide this important matter, came from the President, what do you want for refreshments? Well, I'd like to know who's going to pay for all these here things Orville wuz wantin', said Florence. As the Fresh- man class was not very wealthy, it was necessary to limit Orville's wants, and it was decided that each member of the class should pay a dime, and that the refreshments would consist of pink ice cream and red lemonade, followed by fish and corn bread. Every- thirg was now arranged, and nothing else could be done, but to wait for the end of seemingly long time that must go by before the eventful night arrived. It cante at last. Mabel and Florence were the first to arrive at the party, and as they went upstairs, Malile was heard to say, HOh, wuz you ever to a party alore like this? No, answered Florence, but Auntie told me jest how to act so you do jest as I do, and keep yer month shut and you 'll get along al- right. By this time Emma, Blanche, and Nonia ar- rived, followed by Mary, Pearl, Inez, Anna and Luella, and after they had all removed their wraps, they proceeded dowrstairs again. Next came Charles Evans, Ula Farmer, VVherry Moore, Willie Preston, and Fulton Vaughn. They s.emed to be led by Ula and Fulton, who claimed to know more about such affairs than the others. As they went quickly up the stairway, it was heard from Charles, Oh, we never did have nothin' like this up to Cedarville. Shot yer mouth, said Ula, Ward don't tell it, if you didn't. f'Hnmph, said lVillie, with a superior air. I've been to sech things, Miss Erma had one out to hir house at Peunshoro. 'lMy, said lVherry, I wish I wuz to home. Hush boys, said Fulton, You'll soon bc used to it. By this time all of the class were present, and we will not attempt to explain what followed, but will 'fave the render to imagine for hiins lf when we say that the plan they had agreed upon was carried out. - ..,,q,T-fs T1'1,?Fa :iii anis' I uf 1
