on my way to the great city. The daring aviator is no other than James Moore so 1 do not feel afraid that the aeroplane will fall. Soon we are running a race with the clouds and the earth is like a tiny cup beneath us. Suddenly there is an explosion and the plane begins to fall. Down, down, we go, and in a few minutes my brilliant career will be ended. I feel afar and sitting up I look in astonishment around me. I am still in the familiar Senior Assembly, but I have fallen out of my desk and the other Seniors are laughing uproariously at my embarrassment. I remember now I was thinking of what awaited us in the years to come when this vision came to me in whi h the curtain of mystery has been raised and I have looked through the window of today and into the realm where lie the secrets of tin? future.

famous. But I am disappointed at the change in my once modest and well behaved brother for he flirts with every pretty girl that comes in the shop. Alas, if Ruby knew, her next book would probably be “A Blighted Romance.” With a renewed force of “nervous energy,” I am now soliciting my books. I enter the dressmaking establishment of a certain Madam Klinkenhammer, where many beautiful models are displaying as equally beautiful styles. I am dazzled at one of the models in a trailing gown and when I recover my vision I behold my old friend Ada Moore. Upon leaving this p’ace I think I will go back to the hotel and rest so I purchase a newspaper with which I entertain myself. While looking at the pictures my eyes are attracted to two familiar faces and in astonishment I read: “Miss Helen Adamson, an attractive young actress, has quit the stage and will play the part of leading lady to the famous movie actor, Altman Reil, who is said to surpass even Charlie Chaplin as a comedian.” How famous my friends are becoming and to think 1 can say, “I used to go to school with them.” While continuing my reading of the newspaper, I see the headlines: “The Two Sisters. Bernardine and Antonia Laueerica have just returned from a vbP to Spain where they have been guests of honor to the queen. They are, never- theless, delighted at their return to the United States where they spent heir school days.” As I take the elevator up to my room, I am amused at a man wlio is also in it, industriously peering over a book entitled, “How To Improve Your Memory.” When he leaves the elevator he never looks up but continues his industrious search of knowl- edge. The elevator boy laughs and says, “Gee, I wish I was studious like Mateo Legarza and maybe I could be a lawyer, too.” There are so many interesting things to see in San Francisco that I almost forget my c areer. I go to the movies and an quite surprised to see Charlie Garteiz starring in the new version of “A Dancing Fool” in which Wallace Reid once took the leading part. When passing a large building with a sign in front, “Vocal and Piano Lessons Taught at Fifty Cents a Lesson.” I think surely a wealthy person like that could afford to buy a book so I enter and am delighted to find Blanche Goldsworthy as the youthful instructor. I have left San Francisco and am traveling east in hopes that the inhabitants of that section have more of a desire for romantic novels than those of the west. In my travels I find Lois Thompson to be one of the instructors in an orphan school for children. Upon entering the office of a certain large law firm, I present my book to the private secretary, who, I discover to be Nieves Legarza. Who could picture my amazement when I entered a beauty parlor to find Emma Liotard and May Livingstone as the joint owners, one acting as hairdresser and the other as manicurist. They tell me that Therese Pasquale has acquired fame, and a small fortune, by writing a Geology book which is now used by students of that subject, the main feature of the text being its simple language and its diminutive size. Also that Eva Menicucci now spends her time and money in traveling and has already been around the world twice and is planning to go again; and that Ardclla Holman while studying languages in college so far surpassed her professor that he was discharged and Ardella given the position. My sojourn in the east so far has not been as' successful sa I hoped for, bur suddenly a bright idea comes to me. If I was only in New York I could sell an endless supply of books; but the problem is how to get there in a hurry. An aeroplane comes sailing through the air and lights within a few feet from me. “Passengers to New York,” shouts the aviator. I lose no time in preparing for my journey and am soon Ol
