(j S pt-jg) This year she comes not with a bouquet of blossoms, as in 1911, nor yet with the solid history study De Originibus of 1910. It is geography that she presents this time; and, according to the most approved pedagogical methods, she does not go far from home for her material, but just asks her readers to look out of the windows at the fair land that lies about them. In these pages she has tried to give some hint of the wonderful beauty of this garten spot of Virginia — this Valley, the Daugh- ter of the Stars, Shenandoah. May all who now share in the life of Blue Stone Hill find in this book some pleasure, and may all who have left the Alma Mater read in it a message from home, is the sincere wish of the Editors. Hon.

We come to thee, ( ) Lord, with the thanks- giving of grateful hearts, for thou hast blest us, and ihe world is Full of thy gracious gifts. We come to thee, our Father, For thou hast loved us and redeemed us, and dost show mercy to us, as a Father to his children. We adore thee because of thy majesty and wisdom and glory and power: even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God, the unchangeable, eternal One, who dost order all time and all change according to the wisdom of thy provi- dence: help us to trust in thee! We thank thee because of thy mercies past, because of thy blessings that are ours to-day, and because of thy promises that give us hope For every day to come. We thank thee for work, to keep our minds and hands employed; we thank thee for this place of work, where our minds and hands and hearts are trained; we thank thee For the vision of the world that our eyes behold; For the open doors to fruitful fields; for the voices that call and the hands that beckon; For the strong de- sire that stirs our souls; For the providence that answers prayer; for the witness of thy Faithfulness, and the deathless hope that thou dost plant in human hearts. We thank thee For the young women who have gone nt From this place to the schools and homes of our land, and to the mission fields of the world; we thank thee For these young women who are present now, preparing For nobler life and richer service. Lord, make them a blessing! Make them a blessing here; make them a blessing when they too shall go back to their homes, or go out to their work. Bless those at home who love them ; bless us here who try to help them. Give us wisdom; give us power; give us peace!

Ferhaps there are other cottages somewhere in the world; but we could not suffer this service- able quolsitioi to be worn out in our hands, -tids.) EUNICE BAKER Kindergarten Love ' s a malady without a cure. Did any one mention the word love? —Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the above urparalleled masterpiece of humanity is in love! With whom? Ask her. — Beware, O poor unfort- unate man! Her smile (or grin) reminds one of the Cheshire cat; hut notwithstanding this fact. she is well beloved by all who know her. 29 HILDA MAE BENS ) Professional Rich in saving common sense And, as i he greatest onlj a i e, in her simplicity sublime. This animated Philosophy of Mathematics will speedily eludicate for you any seeming- ly impossible geometry proposition or any I nf fling problem in Math. 47. She can even make quite plain to you that i i y puzzling thing — a triangular square. Shi- is a very present help in any time of trouble. M RUTH RANDOLPH CONN Normal She is pretty to walk with, And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think on. Ruth, better than any other member of the Senior Class, possesses the power of atten- tion. This she. accomplishes by looking di- rectly at the speaker, no matter which part of the room she may be in. Ruth ' s two great ambitions are to become a poet-artist and a mathematician. She has even been correlating the two already. We think her success in life will be in mathe- matics as a teacher of geometry since shr has already formulated a number of original problems. 30 SI SIE HAWSWORTH CORR Kindergarten ••Her hair is no more sunny than her heart. Better late than never. — This is Susie ' s motto. I think 7:30 a. m. is too early to get up, because we never have breakfast until 7:45, she says. Each morning she may be seen rushing to breakfast with middy tie in hand, slipping into the dining-room behind the last girl. INK EAKLE COYNER Professional Gentle of speech, beneficent f mind. litre we see Inez, whose brown eyes carrj sunshine and good cheer to all about her. She is always ready to blame herself for er- rors or mistakes, but never other people. What could we do without Deemp and her ever-ready sympathy when things go wrong? True, sincere, and with a heart big enough for every one, Inez is all right anywhere you find her, from practice teaching to pre- siding at Society meetings. 31 SARAH VIRGINIA DAVIES Household Arts A firm yet cautions mind; Sincere, though prudent; constant, yet re- signed. n honored member of the Home Econom- ics Club, Sadie is always faithful in the ful- filment of her many duties. As student and as teacher she is- respected by all. We only wonder why she did not ap- ply for a position as music teacher, for To hear her sing, to hear her sing — ? VIRGINIA TREVEY DUDLEY Household Ails ■She hath a smile that doth beguile A monk in robe and cowl, And et her eyes can look as wis,- As grave Minerva ' s owl, With her needles and her pins, her spider and her spoon, her airs and her graces, she will conquer mankind. S2 VIRGIN JA OLER EARMAN Kindt rgarten Her eyes like stars of twilight- ' fair, Like twilight ' s too her dusky hair. Here is Virginia, always with a cheerful word and a bright smile except when life goes dead wrong. She is fond of books and flowers, and we fear has a weakness for many of the little frivolities of life. But there! we didn ' t mean to tell, for we always lose sight of this fact when we see her at her favorite occupation — telling stories to the kindergarten tots. Virginia has won her place in our hearts by her ready sympathy and her spirit of true Southern hospitality. HARRIET LORRAINE ELDRED Professional Who broke no promises, served no private end, Who gained no title, and who lost no friend. Here ' s to Lorrie our happy-medium lass, a friend worth possessing — sympathet- ic, kind-hearted and jolly, true to her pur- pose and. above all, loyal to her lesson plans. As for her talents, she draws, paints, and So hoote she sings that by nyghtertale She sleeps namoore than dooth a nyghl- yngale. a MARGARET I U A )R FOX I ' roh ssional Some asked how pearls did grow, and where, Then spoke I to my girl To part her lips, and snowed ihem there The quarelets of pearl. It is never late till twelve, and then it ' s early. — This is the motto by which Em has lived during her two years in school here. She is happy and always ready for fun, never happier than when she is dancing or playing basket ball. Is a member of the Happy Family, but is often found dream- ing. — What ' s the matter? Is she in love? — She is often found fasting. — What ' s the mat- ter? Does she want to go to Mrs. B ' s table? 1 bear you ask. Oh, tell us more! No; visit Em on the Eastern Shore.

She was never known to miss a goal in basket ball, and is quite an expert vio- linist. Liked by all, she is the fortunate possessor of that rare charm of manner which is desired by many, but which is char- acteristic of so few of us. She is extremely fond of making puns; and when she leaves we shall Al (1) — pine. ?4 OCTAVIA ERNESTINE GOODE . ormal When she had passed, it seemed lil ' - the ceas- ing of exquisite music Here is Octavia, our stand-by, our stead- fast resource in emergencies. True, to hear her tell it, she knows she could not do it, but she is doing it all the time bravely, faithfully, and well. We only wonder what we shall do next session without our little i gotist. CLARA LOUISE GREENAWALT I lllll.U lltlltl .Iris Maiden, with the meek brown eyes In whose orbs the shadow lies, Like the dusk in evening skies! Sweet and demure, though holding her own, Louise is not a forward or frivolous maiden; nor could she ever be s-cared. She carries her part with a kindly good will, and after a test is still calm and sweet. 35 MAR , VIRGINIA GREER I I HIISI lllllll . Ills I Si mln r) Heaven blends Iteservi with frankness, art with truth allied: Courage with softness, modesty with pride; r ' ixii! principles, with fancy ever new; Shakes all together and produces- Sou. What would the Home Economics Club do without their red-haired Irish lass? Al- though she is always busy, she has time for a smile. She is especially skilled in the cu- linary arts, yet she may be able to give you some points on the Destructive Criticisms of the Modern Improvements in the Public School System. or on Rural School Prob- lems, ANNA PEARL HALDEMAN Kindergartt n So manv worlds, so many things , ... so much to do. This just seems to suit Pearl, who is al- ways doing a little more than is required and doing it a little earlier and a little better than those about her. Watch her walk. You can see in her very movements that she means business. For her hobby we might mention Expression; for isn ' t she going to study right along that line next vear? Yes, slightly! ETHEL HARM AN I Imist linld Arts Her modes! lool Surd as i he prim the cottage mighl adorn, • peeps beneath t he thorn. Possessed of charming qualities and gra- ciousness of manner. Has improved methods of giggling. Mysterious in all her move- ments. An ardenl devotee of Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart, and Froebel. ELLA CATHARINE HEATWOLE Professional True to herself, True to her friends, True t«i her duty always. Here we have a Senior that knows and knows that she knows, even when explaining .Math, problems to the pupils before the eyes of the supervisor. The children look fondly upon their animated fence-rail as she enters the room. Wearing all that veight Of learning lightly as a feather. We think that by nexl year Ella will be a full-fledged member of the faculty in one of our State Normal Schools; at least, she has already acquired the characteristic walk and manner. v. MALI. IK LEE HUGHES I nd usl rial Arts God made but one east from this mould — iuih was enough. Just being happy is a brave work, and true. So thinks our manual artist, Hallie. who always has a smile for every one. But does she smile when she sees a lavender kimomo coming down the hall after light- bell? NAN WISE JENNINGS Professional A daughter of the gods, divinely tall. And most divinely fair. Nancy began her upward growth in Cul- peper. Virginia. She is a living example of the adage, Laugh, and the world laughs with you. In her more serious moods she has been caught writing poetry on the sly, and it is thought that she secretly aspires to literary fame. Her particular talent, how- ever, lies in the art of warbling love songs, old and new. SS LOUISE ELY LANCASTER Kindergarten Ye come, the first fruits of the stranger. Louise is our little Southern Senior, plump and sweet. The sweet is no joke. We love her; tor she is kind and sympathetic, yet ever full of fun. Although she has been with us from the beginning of things, she — like all wee girls — is still a kindergartner. Called also: South Carolina Rice-bird. Length — Six feet. Width — Six inches. Range — The rice-fields and palmetto groves of her native State, and Cousin Natalie ' s room. Migrations — June. September. AURIE EDNA LAW Professional Through labor to rest, through combat to victory. Here is the Law of our school. Nothing more need be said; the subject speaks for itself. 39 MAin COFFMAN LIGGETT Tis I Tha A uuli rgarten itter l have loved ■v.-i in have loved Mill III I all. ' Coffee not liquid but solid measure — can be strong, clear, and exhilarating; but her recitations sometimes show — shall I say what? Study is often sacrificed for the pleasure she derives from pressing brick. Ask Leigh why she is often late for classes. Shure-ly that ' s all right. .MARY LACY LYLE Household Arts it is easy enough t ! ■ cheerful When life llnws by like ;i song; lini the woman worth while is tin- one with ;i smile When everything goes dead wrong. Evidently Mary fell in love with Blue Stone Hill at first sight, for since her arrival a year ago she has not missed one day, sum- mer or winter. In spite of it all she still preserves, a wonderful sense of humor and is able to see a joke in everything. I ler chief ambition is to have a dog named Hamilton, and her favorite motto is, Love me, love my dog. Neat, trimly dressed, a good cook, and an artist with her needle — Aim 1 st ill we gaze, ;i ml si ill the wi iinli ' i ■ grows, Tin ii one small heai 1 .;n carry n 1 sin • kriiiw s lot i ■ 1 1 ■ t l l i : 1 1 |. 411 LIZZIE STERN McGAHEY Xc. ; ' How blight, In hour! strong in youth ' s uriti ibli ' d This Scotch lassie spent many of her first hours tit this place in bitter weeping Eor the homeland, but she soon fell a victim to the charms of a fair Indian club swinger; and since then, although she is often solemn, she is seldom very sad. Athletics is her hobby, and it is said that even in her sleep she talks of leading her Senior team to vic- tory. She is not given to many words-; but she has acquired an air which is the envy of all her friends:, whereby she can deliver an an- swer in class in such a tone of assurance as in ver fails to convince the instructor that she has studied the lesson, when in all prob- ability it has entirely escaped her notice. MAMIE EVELYN McMILLAN urinal She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undon despise. Well, it is hard to talk about goodness. Many would tell you that Mamie is famous for her ability to recite on her text-book from cover to cover; and they would be very- particular to say that her knowledge of geometry is quite bewildering to them. But we would rather tell of her true genuineness, of her strong brave heart, and sturdy will. Truth speaks through her lips to us day by day in little unremembered acts of kind ness and of love. This is our other Scotch lassie, and we leave with her our sincerest wishes for her happiness and success. 41 LUCY HIDEN MADISON Professional Her air both coquettish and coy, Both studied, though both seem neglected; Careless she is with an artful care: Affecting to seem unaffected. Specialty — basket ball (running forward). Two years ago Lucy came to school with the intention of getting through by bluffing; but alas! Practice teaching proved her fi- nale. During this- period she was not her usual bright and gay self. Whenever she came in sight, one was sure to hear, O girls, do tell me what I can have in my next lesson plan? Lucy hasn ' t decided yet what she is going to do; but we wish her success in whatever she undertakes, whether it be teaching or . SUSIE UAxNIEL MADISON Household Arts An open hearted maiden, pure and true. We shall never cease to wonder at the pleasure this maiden derives from the mak- ing of lesson plans, nor ever cease to tear our hair at the ' song which always accom- panies the process. Strange to relate, her ability extends even farther than planning lessons or serenading unprotected neighbors. You would know at once by her fondness for peaches that her chief interests center around the culinary department, yet her household accomplishments range all the way from making beaten biscuits to manu- facturing spring hats. 42 EVA DOUGLAS MASSES A ormal Her virtues are many, her faults are few. Eva has been at this school since the da. il lirst began, and she has become as much a part of il as the annual catalogue. Indeed, she seems to be the only person who under- stands just how the place will ever get along without her. The teachers treat her with almost as much respect ami familiarity as if she were one of their number. She presides at Y. YV. ( ' . A. meetings, appoints committees, conquers practice teaching, and manages the SCHOOL. MA ' AM staff— all with the same facility with which the loses her note- books: yet she has come through it all with her head unturned and with no worse result than to find herself more indispensable to our welfare than ever. If you think that these cares of state have weighed morbidly upon her mind, you have only to hear her laugh to dispel your unwarranted suspic- ions. NANNIE MORRISON X ormal She laughed, and every heart was jlad. Who is it, asked a girl who roomed in Dormitory 2, that I hear singing so early every morning? This answer came quickly, Why, don ' t you know? It is Nan. because she is always singing. It is- not strange that it was Nan who won the prize for her definition of a lady, for she has practiced this every day since we have known her. Her fellow-students will always remember her as one who was ever ready to do and say the kindest things in the kindesl way. (N. B. We note that among the all things high that a real lady loves, geometry is not set down as an essential! PF.ARL NOELL Pro ft S! il Th secret of su is i onstancy to purpose. Warning: Do not ask idle questions, for she detests curiosity. In the manufacture of time she is unsur- passed. Send for her booklet. How to Make Five Hours- between Seven and Ten O ' clock. She never rushes (above all. never crushes), but was never known to be late. She is very fond of writing love-stories and poetry, but her ambition is to teach Math, and live happily ever afterwards. ORRA LENORA ( TLEY A ormal Her life was earnest work, not play. Worldly effects 1 carry in my satchel, dis- ciplinarian powers in my hand, expressions of approval in th e vibration of my head.

LUCIE RUSSELL PULLIAM Kindergarten rains of love be sweeter fa i Than all other pleasures are. I was just fixiif to say! — She is bright, loving, and so generous that she gives herself away the moment she comes into the classroom. If she ever studies any, she is a good hand at keeping a secret — and we don ' t think she is. She has the most charming smile you can imagine, and uses it to great advantage in the kindergarten. Lucie has an unusual capacity for dreaming. But don ' t ask her to tell her dreams.; it Will Pain her, for what subject is more Painful these hard times than a Bill?

She is- simply wild over practice teaching; writ- ing papers is her chief delight — the longer the paper has to be. the better she likes it; but she utterly detests such commonplace pastimes as gym, tennis, and dancing. Now, if you ask Ruth who her favorite poet is, she will instantly say. Sidney Lan- ier. Inquire the name of her favorite gen- eral, and she unhestitatingly replies, Albert Sidney Johnston. Ask who she thinks should be the successful nominee in the next presidential election, and with all the en- thusiasm of her nature she will say. Sid- ney — Oh, my! I have forgotten his last name but 1 am sure if you ask Ruth she will be only too glad to tell you. ELIZABETH KATHRYN RUCKER Professional She has two eyes so soft and brown; Take care! Beware! Our class would be incomplete without in- dependent Bess. She is always bright and happy, and even in the midst of brain-rack- ing lesson plans is as serene and smiling as a May morning. Practice teaching is her hobby (?). but from the present outlook it seems that do- mestic science will be her destiny. 47 MARY EMMA SADLER Normal Nal lire made her vvha i sin- is Ami never made anither.

With her paints and tools she can produce wonderful works of art. from a clay vase to a divan built for two.

Her many friends and honors during the past two years show that she has a deep place in the hearts of us Little Rebels. And, too. she has always been very loyal to the name of Lee. We all agree there is nothing like being a Professional and learning to sew too, especially when one girl can hold two diplo- mas to that effect.

She is a ray far-reaching in kindness, naturalness, and power to penetrate into the hearts of everybody, hence one who is wel- come everywhere. 52 KATIE VIRGINIA WINFREY Professional Her actions are modest, And her words discreet. Be it known to all that this Culpeper las- sie has a logical mind. ' ' Though never a great student of nature, within the past three months she has developed an ardent love for a certain phase of it — namely, the wood. She has a quiet little manner that all re- tpect, and still she is jolly and bright. Her many friends will tell you that she is true enough and always does only what she be- lieves is right. You have but to search the records at this school to find that Katie is a most diligent s.tudent, and her calm and expressive face tells us that she works for knowledge — not notoriety. ANNIE THOMAS WISE Kindergarten ' Tis well to be merry and wiwc, ' Tiy well to be honest and true, Tall, graceful, and very fair, standing cool and collected, calming us- with her firm but quiet words — our Annie is a born leader.

As the Senior Class of 1912 is composed of students in so many different courses, the task became that of writing agreneral history, one which should tell of some phase of school life common to all members of the class. Such was the historian ' s problem! To her, in the depths of despair, .1 quotation from Pope came in the light of an inspiration — What histories ot TOIL could I declare! Here at last was something common to us all. It would never do to give in chronological order all the events with which this has been connected. The historian was enjoined to be brief — and, besides, it is not best to lay bare direful tragedies to the public gaze. No writer dares tell the real horrors of am battle; and only those who were in the thick of the tight could conceive ot the terrible amount of ink-shed, or of the stupendous loss of sleep and note paper. The mere names of Pesta- lozzi, Rousseau, Herbart, and Froebel yet cause the cheek of the veteran Se- niors to pale. Out of mercy to those who have survived, this part of the past must be forever veiled in oblivion. It is sufficient to mention the causes and effects of the toil and strife. There are eighteen causes, of equal importance, which ma) be mentioned under one general head — The Faculty. It is not necssar) to explain these causes further. All those who have been in the least familiar with this school will understand perfectly, anil future generations had best be left in blissful ignorance thereof. The effects, on the other hand, are truly innumerable. Not even our friendly Webster ' s dictionary, taken alphabetically, would supplv words suf- ficient to describe them fully. Among them, however, are agitation, alarm, bother, break-down, catastrophe, mental ami physical exhaustion, insomnia and some forms of insanity. A tew noble survivors of these years of toil are still in existence, and it is to these war-worn veterans that we dedicate with tears this the only authentic histon of the Class of [912. 54 lin ' U In Win tu Anuuira in 1325 Anderson, Katharine, manufac turer of domestic felicity for a New York politician.

We have had such a rime, such a frolic, thej sighed: As we came from the mountains this morn. We surprised a young robin just learning his song, And we caught its gaj tune as we tumbled along, But we hung it hack there on a thorn. When we wet a green dragon fly s hue gauzj mgs, lie never once minded at all. Then we landed a great big tumble-bug, With a bumblebee and a water slug, On the top of a sycamore ball. Now the brooklet was cooing a Lullaby song, And I never heard all the rest; For each baby wave, with a tired little sigh And a splash that was meant tor a drowsy good-bye, Sank to sleep on its mother ' s breast. —Ruth Conn. 82 cEhr ICaiUf in tlir (Dmrr The plot of Prank Stockton ' s story, The Lady or the Tiger, will readily he recalled: A youth of low degree has dared to love the Princess and to win her love in return. The enraged King sentences him to appear in the arena and take his chances of death in the jaws of a hungry tiger or of marriage to a lady — beautiful indeed, hut not the Princess. There are l wo doors to the arena. Hi ' is free to open either, as fate and his own choice may decide. Behind one is the lady. Behind the other is the in- furiated beast. The Princess motions her lover to open the door to the right. He walks straight to it and meets his fate — the lady or the tiger — which? Stockton always insisted that he himself did not know, and he never wrote IIih end of the story. But the question that has teased his readers for a quarter of a century has now been forever set at rest by one of our girls in the concluding scene pictured below. The great door swung open, anil into the arena there stepped a man, so young, so perfectly formed in every line and feature, he seemed more god than man. The pitying murmur of the multitude arose like the sighing of the wind through the trees, until the angry glance of the King, sweeping the crowded amphitheatre, checked their voices, and the people turned their eyes away from the silent figure standing motionless and alone before the royal box. His eyes were upon the white-veiled figure beside the King; and in their depths there was no fear, no distrust, no regret, only the un- spoken question — Which ? Slowly a white hand was lifted, and, with an almost imperceptible mo tion toward the right, dropped once more into the folds of her veil. A look of quick understanding flashed in his eyes; he even smiled slightly as Ins heels came together; and saluting the King, he walked steadily toward the right-hand gate. The King and his court leaned forward; the people held their breath; a tense silence brooded over the vast amphitheatre ; the only sound was the ring of the man ' s sandals on the stones; the only motion, that of the un- wavering figure crossing the space below, with his eyes upon his goal. His hand upon the knob, he turned to the people and, with a bow of courtly grace, threw open the iron-barred portal. For the space of a heart-beat not a sound was heard, then the shouts of the people burst from their straining throats. The anger of the King was for- gotten in their joy, for before them stood the man, holding the hand of ;i woman clad in bridal white. The tumult subsided. The two moved di rectly beneath the royal box and there were married. At the conclusion of the sacred words they faced the King, and the woman above and the woman below at the same instant threw back their veils. Beside the King sat the second fairest lady in the land; but, down below, the man held by the hand the fairest of them all — for he had married the Princess. 83 EC X r. - A FLY ING TRIP The automobile (it ' s a big one) gave a sudden lurch as we turned into the Port Republic road, but we held fast and managed to stay in. Mrs. Burruss dropped her bunch of daffodils, but the rear guard picked them up and re- stored them to her while we were halting at the Ashb Monument. Proceeding eastward, we took the southerly route over the battlefield of Cross Keys, where Ewell defeated Fremont just fifty years ago. We came near to sticking fast in the ravine across which the batteries thundered that June day of ' 62; but finally we came out on the elevated stretches of road sloping down to Port Republic. Switching around to the right, almost on the river bank, we came in a moment to the bridge, famous from that famous day when Stonewall crossed it, then burned it, and then proceeded to ad- dress himself to General Shields down on the Lewis Farm, between the river and the mountain. The view down the river to- ward the Blue Ridge, from the substantial iron structure that now spans the waters, is almost equalled bv the view up the river where the broad deep current presses down between the cedared bluffs and pours over the great dam with mighty splashing and roaring. X5 Passing through the ancient little village In turning ninetj degrees to the left, we cross the bridge spanning the south fork of the Shenandoah; then we turn hack upon our general course toward the south, and in a mile or two come to Shendun. We arc informed that the postoffice, as well as the railwaj station, is now called Grottoes, after the renowned Weyer ' s Cave, the Cave of the Fountains, and other wonderful caverns that honej comb the wooded bluff across yonder on the west hank of the river. ( )t course we went through the cave: — as man) as w( could in our limit ed time. Then w • came hack past Pot i Republic, lingered .• little while on the battlefield at Lewis- ton, isited a few of the historic home- steads in the vicinity, and so came on to Conrad ' s Store, now known as Elkton. 1 isses Conn and Mc- Gahey looked a little homesick as we pass ed McGaheysville, hut we managed to keep them in the auto bj running somewhat taster than usual. As we passed alone; in full view of the Peaked Mountain, towering up into the western sky, Miss Harrington called attention to the remarkable resemblance it hears, from that point, to the Rock of Gibraltar, and Mis- King explained its geological structure to several members of her class who , ere in the party. The great White Rock, just hack of Rockingham Springs, was in plain sight for several miles. It is a landmark sure to be seen and remembered by all tourists who pass through East Rockingham. Passing Cedar Bluff falls and Bear Lithia Spring on the right, we came in due time to Shenandoah Iron Works, then to the Hawksbill Vallcj and the town of Luray. Here Miss Hudson was at home, and entertained the party with rare hospitality . Luraj nestles in a beautiful part of the Page Valley, the long, rugged chain ot the Blue Ridge hounding the view on the east, while the ridges and towering peaks ot the Massanutten leap up just west ward. The thing that makes l.urav most famous, however, is the splendid cave a mile west id ' the town. This we visit ed, of course I he question then arose whether we should continue down the Page Valley, east ot the Massanutten, or cross to the west side. Miss Preston wanted to go right on down to Front Royal, hut Miss Annie Cleveland was anxious to leave a message from Hoi 1 ins at New Market; so we crossed 86 through the gap in the Massanutten to that historic town. After a short stop in New Market, and a look over the battlefield, we whizzed on down the Valley Pike. On the brow of Rude ' s Hill we had to pause and take a long look, for here is one of the finest views in the Valley, if not in the world. Here, moreover, is one of the celebrated camping grounds of Stonewall Jackson. Down Minder, in that brick house beside the river, lived the youngest colonel of the Stonewall Brigade. On the broad plains below, through which the pike cuts like a long gra ribbon, Turner As.h by and Sir Perq Wyndham met more than once in the shock of charging cavaln This broad plain is Meem ' s Bottom. Beyond the plain we come to lt, Jackson, named for Old Hickory ; then we pass Hawlcinstown and Red Banks. On Pence ' s Hill wc stop again and take another long look, for here we can see the Massanutten Mountain in all its fifty miles of length, dropping off abruptlj at Keezle- town southward and at Strasburg northward. Gliding swiftly down Pence ' s Hill we soon pass Edinburg and come to the old historic town of Woodstock. Here Miss Hoffman entertains, and we regret that we have to leave so soon. Below Woodstock we pass Tom ' s Brook, Fisher ' s Hill, and Strasburg, following the Valley Pike out over the battlefield of Cedar Creek, then on down through Middletown and Stephens City, across the Opequon at Springdale, past Kernstown, ami so on to Winchester. We are tempted to linger here a long time, but we have promised to take supper at Berryville and to spend the night at White Post. So we hurry on. As we spin out eastward on the Berryville Pike we pass through the fields where was fought the great battle of September, 1864, between Early and Sheridan. Abra- ham ' s Creek is on our right, and soon again we cross the Opequon. It is just nightfall when we reach White Post, and the lan- tern on the tall gray sentinel is already gleaming out a kindly welcome. This is soon eclipsed, however, by the beaming face of our Edi- tor-in-Chief, as she greets the homefolks, and tells us all to come right in and make ourselves at home. We do. The next morning, after a visit to Greenwa Court, we go on to Front Renal, where Miss Preston introduces us to many of her friends, and where Lucy Laws, with Dais Melton and other old students, has prepared us a royal welcome. At the latest possible moment we leave Front Royal, with many regrets, and cut westward across the Vallej toward Strasburg. As we pass around the triple promontory of the Massanutten, we pause repeatedlx to admire the matchless beaut of the landscape — a combination of bending river, verdant plain, and towering mountain. In due time we pass Strasburg, Fisher ' s Hill, Woodstock, and other places on the homeward way; but we do take time at Woodstock to make an ex- i ursion to the top of the Massanutten Mountain, in order that we may look down upon the winding Shenandoah on the one side, and into the unique Fort Valley on the other side. The chauffeur performed the rather difficult anil somewhat dangerous feat of turning the automobile right on the crest of the mountain, and then we scudded down into the valley, even one hold- ing her breath, whenever she could catch it, and gripping the sides oi the car with desperate tenacity. But it was glorious. 87 From cine high point, coming up the Valley, we had a fine view of Brock ' s Gap, far to the west. This side of New Market we explored the Endless Caverns; we also peeped into Harrison ' s Cave near Melrose, and wound up with a visit to Massanetta Cave, Massanetta Springs, Rawley, Dayton, and Bridgewater. In the neighborhood of New Erection we saw some of the famous wheat fields that Mr. Dean photographs in harvest time; and at Dayton we caught a reflection of Mole Hill in Silver Lake. Round Hill at Bridgewater, with the natural falls dam, was much admired. We had to hurry, hut we expected to do that when we started out. It is not often that we have two holidays to- I gether, and we were determined to make the most oi these. Mr. Burruss said we all had to he readj for the eight-thirty class Monday morning, and we did not want to miss the basket hall game Satur- day night, or Sunday-school Sunday morn- ing. ( hherw isc we might have been tempt- ed to go on to the Natural Chimneys. Wist Augusta, and Staunton, taking in Waynesboro and Basic CitJ in the sweep ill n ' t do it. Perhaps we ' ll go to Lexington and around the circle. But W( Natural Bridge next time. NX A Till I I H IOUNCIL Atltlrttr Aiiiuuiattmt l ;iskt-t Rail ( James Scores March j Junior-Sophomore 10 — 7.

Outside, the snow was falling softh and silently, covering the earth with its white beauty. In the distance the church hells were ringing sweetly, slow- ly ami yet joyously, as though the} had some great secret the were anxious to tell. Yes, it was the nation ' s da oi thanksgiving. John Ferguson stood in his cell in the Illinois State Prison, gazing out ol the small grated window over the snow plains toward the tit of Chicago. His heart, too, seemed to stretch toward it, with that deep, inexpressible, yearning of a man who is deprived of his freedom. He was thinking er bitter thoughts — thoughts not at all in harmonj with the outside world ; and a hard look came into his face as his musings took a stronger hold upon him. Six years and ten days exactly he had been occupying Cell Number }_i. How long it has been! he groaned. How long it will be! Who would answer tor this waste — this ruin of his life? Surely it would be those who had falsely imprisoned him. — For himself, though, it reallj did not matter so much. His own humiliation was a small thing compared with the suffering and disgrace brought upon his wife and bain. And oh, that babj ! When, choking with sobs, he had last clasped her in bis arms, she had been a rosy-cheeked, golden-curled, child of tour. Now she was nearly eleven years old. He wondered if she knew, or whether his wife had kept the dreadful story from her. And the little wife — how true anil brave she had been! Knowing as she did that he was innocent of the crime of which he stood accused, she had faced the end bravely; and it was her strength that had upborne him through those last hitter, false, proceedings. Night after night he had tossed on his hard prison cot thinking of her; and when at last he would succumb to sleep, the vision of her sweet, brave, face often hovered ovei him. Is she thinking of me now? he wondered. Her last words to him had been, ' A on are innocent, John. 1 rust God, and hope. He had endured and hoped; but now his hungrj heart cried, O I. old. I ' .ow long? Was she still hoping too: the forenoon guard an walked in front of the A key clicked in the lock of Number 34, and nounced curtly that dinner was ready. Ferguson merely bowed his head in reply and guard to the end of the corridor, where he joined nineteen other convicts in their march to the mess hall. The tables looked better than usual to-day, and the dinner was vcr good; but it was on days like this that the convicts were saddest. I ' m even with the worst of them Thanksgiving bad some association with a better past. in 1 To-daj the usual restrictions concerning speech were removed; but from mere: force of habit very little was said among the prisoners, and the meal was finished in almost total silence. The monotonous clank of the knives and forks as they were dropped into the collector ' s tray made it seem like other days; and it was with a deeper feeling of depression that Ferguson found himself again in his cell. The warden says you may walk out awhile this afternoon if you wish, said the keeper; I ' ll Come for you at four? Thank you, answered Ferguson absently as the heavy, steel-latticed door again swung into place. He sat down on the side of the cot, his head in his hands, wrapped once more in thought. And thus the keeper found him when he opened the cell door again. 1 don ' t think 1 care to go out, thank you, McClanahan, said Ferguson wearily when he looked up and saw the guard standing in the door. Oh, cheer up, Ferguson. The warden wants to see you in the office for a minute. Mope it ' s good news. he added, his honest Irish face smil- ing pleasantly at his prisoner as he held the door open for him to pass out. Ferguson ' s face went white. Could it be that anything was wrong with the wife and baby? The very thought of it unnerved completely the grief- worn man, and he leaned against the wall a second for support. Then he passed out in front of the keeper and walked down the corridor, his head whirling and his heart scarcely heating. When he reached the office door, it swung open, and he found liimsell standing before the warden ' s desk. Ferguson, you ' ve been here for six years Yes, sir, a trifle unsteadily. You ' ve been a faithful man. I hope so. sir. ' Then prepare yourself for what you are about to hear. I — I don ' t understand you, sir. Is — is — anything wrong with the n? Tell me quick! he gasped, clutching the desk, his eyes almost bloodshot with fear. Steady, Ferguson, said the warden, motioning the keeper to go to him. No, there ' s nothing wrong. Something is right at last. Listen; the confession of Jim Williams proves you innocent of the crime for which you were sent here, and a release, full and unqualified, has been granted you by the Governor. From this moment you are free. Ferguson staggered to a chair, whispering the blessed words over and over again, Proved innocent! My God, I thank thee. ' J ' he door of the office opined, and with a cry of joy he gathered his wife and child both into his arms. V.wn the warden and the keeper, accustomed as thev were to touching scenes, turned their hacks on the little group; and when at last thev looked again, thev saw a changed man. On his face, instead of the old hard look, was one of grateful joy. Thev left the little familv there alone; and as the warden walked off down the corridor clanking his heavy keys, but smiling, he muttered, A sure-enough Thanksgiving. — Mary L.

Dear old Chum, If ou want to tr the strenuous life, just come over here for a year or more and learn exactlj what our ex-President meant by it. School opened with the usual amount of work and with more than the usual amount of fun — receptions, serenades, parades, concerts, spinsters, and everything like that; so I haven ' t found time to keep my promise to you. But if I were to write about all the good times, this letter would never end; consequently, I ' ll only tell you of the very biggest affairs. The season began with a very informal reception, on the Friday after school opened, given to the students by the faculty — which faculty, of course, is the nicest ever. After we had guessed the answers to the questions in the Flower Romance on the dear little cards, and had made away with the refreshments, we frolicked awhile and then said good-night. The next week the two literary societies gave a joint reception (all these receptions are given in the gymnasium) to the students and faculty; and such fun as we had ! Each girl was asked to draw a head, fold the paper over, and pass it on to her next neighbor, who added a body. Then the third one put on the feet. At a given signal the papers were all opened. You can ' t imagine the curious combinations that confronted us — man, bird, and beast — many of them, unlike Tommy, coming and going at the same time. The town people are lovely to us in every way. The Methodists gave a reception to the school. We call them receptions; but really they are just good-time gatherings, because they are not at all formal. And then the Daily News Band honored us with a serenade. We danced, strolled, quoted poetry, made jingles, and talked non- sense to the witching strains of music un- der the silvery moon. One evening we had a real Macedonian to come and talk to the Y. W. C. A. about the need of missionary work in his country. His name is Rev. Demetrius Elias Con- stanstinstinzcias Yishanoff. At least that is all of it that 1 can remember. Pal of mine, you should have been here for the Hallowe ' en parade. A special dis- pensation was granted us to do as we pleas- ed between ten and eleven o ' clock at night. Well, we pleased to have a grand parade. We masked, gathered up every kind of musi- cal (?) instrument from a comb to a dust- pan, and went all over the campus, to the cottage, to the turnip-patch, and every where. Those of us who live in Burruss Hall raided the Lower Dormitory and play- ed havoc with beds and rooms. We came back to find our own rooms 114 notebooks must have lied tinm the even more mixed up than those we hail just invaded. Beds, books, tables, and dresses had all taken a wild somersault and now occupied the most unheard-of places. Some of out sobei disorder, tor they have not been seen since. December. Chum, I wished tor you so much lo-nignt. We have just come hack from the Conradis ' recital, and it was wonderlul music. Dear, they jus: car- ried ou on and on, and the violin strings Lot all .tangled up with your heart t II on had to cry, it w . . so beautiful. Thcj caught all the joys and sorrows of life and made them ours. Win do we fee] so little and unworthy after hearing wonderful music, dear? It seems that this letter will never be finished, doesn ' t it? We have been busy practising tor Thi Spinsters ' Riturn, which Miss Scott got up for her rural schools. You remember when we gave it at home. ' ' ' Twas just a a good little sum. I think some of the spinsters, an d r funny here, and we made quite girls have kodak pictures of the T Y. W. C. try to get them to enclose to you. A. Bazar, for which we have been working till the session. came off last night, and it was a great success. We had every- thing from fortune tellers to bachelors ' dreams ami shadow graphs. The shadowgraphs were the best things we had. We stretched sheets across the front of the Stage and turned off the b ' ghts, except those behind the actors. This threw the girls ' shadows on the curtain as they, with excessive gesticulation, act- ed out in dumb show the ballad or storj which soniehod else v . ; reading aloud. Belie e me, the effect was rich. It beats am moving-picture show all to pieces. ou waul something that realh takes, ti shadowgraphs at your bazar next year. You maj be able to get a better idea from this drawing, hut you ' ll have to ec shadowgraphs to appreciate them. Exams are over! Home tor us in the morning! Lovingly, nnie. L20 CI January. ' Iiumsie mine, we have just come from around the camp fire with Lee, ' anil I thought ' twould be well to begin m quarterh to you. This was one of the best special meetings of the Lee Literary Fociety, and it was very good indeed. The posters were so attractive and told the story so well that 1 begged one to send to S E W, you. Before I get very far on this letter 1 want to inform your royal highness that this is a busy quartei for us practice teachers, and you will understand the frequent pauses. February . Mv dear, you ' ll always be sorrv you didn ' t come with us, because jfj  i|,i y the Conradis have been here again. I U m M ' can ' t tell you about the music - ' - am more than that it was like getting glimpses of the coming spring in the midst of winter. We have been doing things too. First, the Laniers gave a Cupid ' s Party, and our -old Assembly Room looked its very best. What with the decorations, the soft lights, and the music, we were hoodwinked witii faery fancy sure enough. The menu cards too, heart- shaped and vermeil dyed, were written in a sort of Romance language in which Cupid ' s nectar meant hot chocolate, and everytihg had a name too exalted for human nature ' s daily food. But the ; was in the Hall of Fame. Don ' t you know those scamps. the Laniers, had life-size silhouettes of the faculty, and Ruth Conn spouted forth marvelous histories of them all! Do you recognize this one: George ' s birthday to to sing patriotic ( )f course the girls took advantage of the immortal dorn themselves in Colonial gowns and incidentally songs. iiui the biggest thing we ' ve ever had since the school opened was the Japanese operetta, Princess Kiku. It was given in the town hall, and we cleared almost a hun- dred dollars. Miss Hudson nearly worked herself to death to make it a success; and it was, too. There were about sixty-five girls, dressed as Japanese, ami the effect was very beautiful. At the dress re- hearsal Mr. Dean took a flashlight, which was very good.

Dearest Chum, The girls have just gotten back from the debate between the Lee Literal;, Society and the High School, and such a babel of voices you ' ve never heard. Most of the excitement is due to the fact that our girls won. The question was whether the aims and methods of teaching in secondary schools should be the same for girls as for boys. It was a very interesting debate. Saturday Night. We have had the nicest tramp to-day — a nine-mile one at that. Miss King took about a dozen or so of us to Bridgewater. We stopped in Day- ton for a little rest and went over to see the S. C. 1. We ate lunch just before we got into Bridgewater proper. There is a college in Bridge- water, too, and being educationally inclined, we went over it. Miss King thought it was too much of a tramp to walk back, so we went down to the station, and had a most delightful wait for the train. A fine little rain added much to our pleasure (?). But it was nice to be out of doors, chum, and we took some good pictures. s Ife t.vft 1 1 lil J.Vm£l .« .... w i 1 Chum, I ' m so tired, but I ' ll have to tel was a great event. Dr. Wavhmd, Miss 1 3 April. I you about our trip to-day, for it King, and Miss Harrington took us to climb Massanutten Mountain. We went b train to Keezletown, and then began the climb. A number of us had never scaled a mountain before, and you can imagine how we did it. But the view from the top was magnificent. We could see for miles around, and the towns looked like tin villages. Everything was so solemn and still and grand — not a living thing up there but ourselves. Dear, it is a place to dream dreams and think big thoughts that you couldn ' t express. The mountains form a hollow called The Kettle. This was where we ate dinner. After a rest, and some picture-taking, we started for Mc- Gaheysville, where we were to take the train home. And oh. that trail which leads to McGah ' eysville ! Thej saj it ' s only three miles, but 1 have my serious doubts. Somehow a few of us lost sight of Dr. Wayland ' s party, and after much crossing and recrossing the little stream, we finally found a trace of them — a note tacked to a tree saying, We are holding tiie train; hurry on. It seemed to us that we couldn ' t hurry on much more, but we did. 1 never in my life have seen such a road — it was all turns and nothing else. After a long, long, time we found McGahevsville and the train still there, for which we were devoutly thankful. If you could have seen us when we came in to supper, you ' d never have recognized us. Tired, dirty, hungry, and footsore, but with the satisfaction of having climbed a mountain fourteen hundred feet high, and made the train at McGahevs- ville too! Tuesday. Chum, can you believe that Easter has come and gone? The holida c passed off very quietly here at school, celebrated only by a picnic to Massa- netta Springs. We went for arbutus after lunch, but found blood root instead, and in such profusion. Up and down the little hollow it grew like a carpet and made you think ' twas fairy land. We brought lots of it hack and planted it in front of the cottage. 123 Saturda) . We planted our Senior tree, Chum, a maple, and its going to grow, because each of us made a wish tor it.

BmathB mh Slua a F his home in Winchester, Virginia, Daniel Morgan had gone into headquarters for the early winter that was already begin- ning to set in. The Morgan riflemen were encamped just beyond the straggling little village, and it was strange how often some noting courier would have business with the Col- onel, and by chance speak a word with his daughter, Miss Nancy. To-night the proud old father was giving a dance in her honor ; and there was not one young officer but wished for a less stained, less tattered, uniform in which to appear be- fore this famous belle of The Valley. Among these was Lieutenant Headly, a bright, brave, American who had come on an errand of import to the Colonel. He was a member of Lafayette ' s staff and had, for bravery in the recent battle of Brandywine, been presented by that general with his own sword when the Continental Congress had seen fit to honor Lafayette with the gift of a far more handsome weapon. The news that he was wearing it to-night spread like wild-fire among the girls, who were eager to see both the sword and its owner. Never had a cavalier bowed lower over his lady ' s hand than Lieutenant Headly bowed over Nancy ' s that night; and turn as she would, she always found him near at hand. But it was not until they had drifted away from the others and out into the broad hall that Nancy ' s curiosity got the better of her and she asked to see the sword. He showed it with a pardonable degree of pride, his head coming perilously near hers as together they bent over the dainty weapon, which seemed so much nearer fitted to Nancy ' s little hand than to that of some great general famed for valiant deeds. The slender rosewood handle was twined with silver wire, and near the base of the blade was a French motto, curiously wrought. Do you know what they mean? she asked with one finger on the words. Of course, he laughed, just this, ' The virtue of the sword lies in the bravery of the man. ' And you were brave, so brave, she murmured in a low thrilled voice, her wide blue eyes searching his face. Not all the praise of his general had ever stirred him like those simple words, and no heart under ragged continental uniform throbbed faster than did his as he rode home that night. But Nancy ' s thoughts did not follow him. After the ball, she sat long in her own little room, wondering — with a dull, deep ache — where alone that night the brave young hero of her girlish heart kept silent watch beneath the stars. He was just the kind, she told herself, who would be sent to watch. This was young Dick Conn, playmate, comrade, and friend of her life. Xo word of love had ever passed between the two; but on the night before Dick had ridden off to the war, they had walked to- 127 gcther down the garden path, and he, plucking ;i rose as the) passed, had laid it among her brown curls with a kind of caress, saying in a low full voice, Red roses for love. That was all; yet now the rose was hei mo I priceless possession, and dailj she offered incense before it. The winter passed, and business sent Lieutenant Hcadl) cilten to The alley, until rumor began to connect his name with that of the young girl; nor did he himself discourage it. Certainlj Nancy received him with a welcome frank and tree; and it she made no open slmw of more than friendship, that indeed was lacking in nothing. Nancy saw little of her father these days. He had been raised to the i.ink of General; and Colonel Richard I. V. Conn — so the despatch read — had been put in command of the Morgan Rifles. This despatch was laid away with the rose, hut neither had received much attention of late. Hiw could the) when a handsome young officer made frequent isits to Winches ' tcr, and each time left behind him taint rumors of some fresh feat of daring? In her heart Nanc) was half ashamed that she heard no more of Dick ' s braver) than she did; for Dick never was a coward, she defended him to herself again and again. And yet :t was true that she had seen far less ot him that winter than she had of Lieutenant Headly ; for the feu times that Dirk had been home, he had come chief!) on matters ot business, am! there always seemed to he some urgent duty which called him back to bis general almost before Nanc) hail time to assure herself that she had re, 11) seen him. Not that she cared. ( )h, no! But then he might have cone ' oftener if just to show her that he had not forgotten the old times. The war came to an end, and England gave up trying to conquer hei American subjects. The straggling, half-starved men came home if home were left to them ; but winter had passed and spring had come again before the forces were disbanded. One day in the late spring Nancy, out among her roses, saw Lieutenant Headl) ride up to the gate and dismount. She went with read) smile to greet him. I am going West, he exclaimed hurriedly, his handsome face tin rowed b a frown and Its usual huovant tone changed to one of almost harsh impatience. 1 am anxious to try my fortune beyond the tnoun r.ins, where the way is new and the air is free; and when I have proved what 1 can do, 1 will return. Not until then, he added gallantly, will 1 saj what is in my heart. But now I ask you to keep for me the one thing 1 prize most, m sword, until 1 come again to redeem it. He said it all with such a knightly air that Nancy was dazzled a little by the romance of it, and before she knew it she had the dainty weapon in her hand. She held it timidly and looked at him with shy, half fright- ened, half trustful eyes — but kept it. Then turning to go, he reached up, pulled a white rose from the arbor above, and laid it in her pink palm, kiss- ing the tips of her fingers as he did so, and saying, Keep this to remind mi that ) mi are loved. Instant!) she dropped it, and the sword too fell with a clang as the crimson tlush spread from cheek to neck and surged hack again, leaving her face white ;b the rose at her feet. In a minute, however, she had recovei ed her self-possession and laughingly declared that she had been afraid of the sword, in proof of which she refused to touch it again. 12H Oh, why had he said that. ' ' Red ruses for love, protested her heart, and she wished just then that she had never seen the young man before her. Hut she had gone too far now to go hack, she said to herself, and, after all. what did it matter? Dick did not care, or he would have come home to see her. Wounded pride swelled the girl ' s heart until at last she held out her hand again to young Headly, and lie kissed it reverently in parting. And this time she did not refuse the proffered sword but held it proudlj while she watched him out of sight. So he rode away to the West. Nancy found to her surprise that she did not miss him so much as she had anticipated. Away from his handsome, dashing, presence his conduct did not appear so manly and brave as it had seemed; yet even to herself she would not admit that he had ever gamed more wildly or drunk more freely than other young men of her acquaintance whose place in societj w as undisputed. H and by Richard came home, and after him came stories of his courage and daring that once more filled her soul with pride. (low she treasured up each one until her heart began to make comparisons. Hut she told her self over and over that she was in some way bound to the soldier whose sword she kept. If she had even faintlj suspected that the man to whom this quixotic sense of loyaltj kept her falsely bound was not the soul of honor that her fancy painted him, she would have scorned to recognize his claim at all. And further, she would have felt his trust an insult had she known that the payment of his fine by a fellow officer was all that had kept him from forfeiting the sword and repenting in a Luray prison for the gay life he had led and the debts he had incurred while yet an officer. Hut she had no w aj of knowing, and so she fought off the thoughts of Dick that came be- tween this man and her, and saw no more of her former comrade than was absolutely necessary. As for Dick, if he seemed to have grown older an, ' more grave, he was none the less as lend and true a friend as ever, though no more. ( ne da a letter came, bearing a familiar western postmark, and Nancy ' s calm interest changed to startled fear as she read in a scrawling hand the simple words, Lieut. Headly died last night. Wounded in skirmish with Indians, May 25. Enclosed was a brief letter of good-bye and confession from the man who had died alone under western skies, and Nancy ' s heart ached with pity as she read the broken sentences that showed how boyishly he still clung to her love. He begged that she forgive his rashness and give his sword to Colonel Richard 1. W. Conn, the man who had befriended him when he need- ed it most, and to whom the sword should now belong. A little note from Nancy brought Dick to her that night; and she came down the walk to meet him. wearing a soft white dress with a single red rose at her throat. 1 would have come sooner, he spoke with tender sympathy, but 1 feared to intrude upon your grief. You are mistaken. she answered earnestly, I never loved Lieutenant Headly. — O Dick, why did you not tell me before? she broke out passion- 129 ately. Whj did you let me go on thinking him as noble and manl) as as — you? He looked at her with unbelief and hope warring in liis eyes, 1 did not think — he said slowly, I only knew I could nor let him be sent to prison when it meant so much to you, and I had the simple means of saving him. I could not have done less. ' ' And he was not honorable enough to tell me, she broke out. How could 1 have thought that I might love him? ' ' let he is gone now, she added contritely, and he was man]} enough to ask that I give you his ' sword, Dick. That is why I sent for you. 1 do not want his sword. He gave it to you in the first place, and we would both prefer that you keep it. His voice sounded strangely harsh. 1 can ' t, she cried, I don ' t want it. And I refuse to take it, unless, he finished slowly, you give me tin- keeper with it. For a minute only, Nancy hung her head, then raised it proudly, and as her eyes met his, she pulled the rose from her throat and held it out to him. 1 give it back, she said in her mellow voice. It is yours, Dick, ' Red roses for love. ' These were real people, and the sword may even now he found hanging above the fireplace at the home of Nancy ' s great-granddaughter in the quiet village of McGaheysville, which nestles at the mountain ' s foot in the Valley of Virginia. 130 • •c £ • ■• ' 5 1- % Km .

As he settled his tired body, a little bird close to him in the vine tweeted, set its prett) head on one side, and looked as if to sa , Jacob Miller, where are those crumbs for me? Just then Jacob ' s sister came out, Miss Mary, a white-haired girl of sixty-five, whose love for folks and for dumb critters would keep her young, even should her calendar of years mount up to a hundred. Here ' s your butter-milk, Jacob, she said, handing him the big mug as she seated herself for a little chat with her brother. Miss Mary herself did not see how anybody could like butter-milk. Hut Jacob as a young man had lived a year or two in Eastern Virginia and hail shown ever since a weakness for this Tuckahoe nectar, though he had never acquired a taste for its natural accompaniment, cawn bread. Jacob seemed aging of late, and his sister ' s eyes were very gentle as she looked at him to-day. They were both growing old ; but they were growing old together, and their little interests were keen and absorbing. Feel donsie to-day, Jacob. ' ' Oh, no, just a little tired. I come by the barn just now, and 1 tell you that hutchie is going to make a fine mare. She is as knowing as her mother already yet. 1 think I ' ll name her Trixie after that smart horse down at the Exposition. Yes, Trixie was better ' n some folks, laughed the old lady. You re- member how she said her prayers? — Are you going to veal that hommie? Win, no, Mary. Cherry is such a good cow and looked at me with such human eyes this morning I said, ' Cherry, chew your cud in peace. I ' ll leave you be. I ' m not going to send your hommie away. And so. as the old folks rested a minute, the sister went on talking: The new teacher that ' s come to take Miss Sarah ' s place is boarding at Pete Stoutamyre ' s. She ' s from East Virginia somewhere. She talks just like ' em. She ' s a nice little thing, though. Even Elvira Stoutamyre owns that she don ' t seem lazy a hit, nor stuck-up. — And she ' s got no father nor mother. From East Virginia, you say? What ' s her name? Shirley Wingfield. It was well that the shadow of the clematis on the porch shielded the old man ' s lace, for that had been the name of the onlj girl whom Jacob Miller had ever loved. Hut she had married her cousin, ami long ago Jacob had heard that both were dead. Miss Mary did not know, and she talked on. Young folks ought not to be lonesome like that. Suppose you hook up Dolly and Dimple and go tor her Sunday morning. There aim no meeting that day. I think maybe I knew her mother, the old man said quietly. Sunday was a beautiful day. Hright and early Jacob Miller ' s surre went rolling down the lane between the rich green wheat-fields, and soon came back with the dearest, sweetest, girl you ever saw. Such a glorious da) for the lonely little teacher! In the warmth ol this 137 home she opened like ;i (lower and gladdened the two kindly old hearts. After the restraint of being among strangers tor weeks, she now let herself go. She dropped in glad freedom back into the Fast Virginia drawl, and not an ing nor an r came within earshot. How she laughed and told jokes on herself! ' I never dreamed, she confessed to Jacob while Miss .Man was out get- ting dinner ready, that I ' d have to learn a foreign language and that I didn ' t even know how to talk English. But little Johnnie Stoutamyre ' s eyes looked almost as big as saucers when I asked him to ' carry the horse to water, ' and he told some of the other children that he thought 1 ought to be grown-up enough and smart enough to talk right! Oh, I ' ve had more language lessons than my little scholars, she chatted on gayly, seeing that the old man was delighted to listen to her. One day Susie couldn ' t write because she had a healing on her hand. I examined the afflicted spot with the air of a surgeon and pronounced it a rising. But rising was as strange to Susie as healing was to me. And the bad part was that the dictionary didn ' t uphold my word any better than it did Susie ' s! — I tell you, I ' ve stopped being rash in my remarks and questions. What with the children talking about bel snickers for next Christmas and Mrs. Stoutamyre having ponhos and noodles and suits for supper, and not knowing what snaps and cymlins are, 1 have been at my wit ' s end. But things taste so good up here in this splendid mountain air that 1 swallow everything, name and all. 1 always had such a weakness for pies, too — I must have been born to live in The Valley, if 1 can ever master the lan- guage. But now when people say ' on the garret, ' I have to take the root oft mentally before I can get their point of view. Over here they ' get com- pany ' who ' give you goodbye. ' Now, at home we always ' have company ' who ' tell you goodbye. ' But I notice that the handshake feels the same, anyway. Come out to dinner, said Aunt Mary, as Shirley alreadj called the dear old lady. Is my hair strubly? laughed the girl. But Aunt Mary did not laugh. Why should she? And oh, that dinner! The golden brown fried chicken heaped high! And the gravy! These at least bore no strange name. But. although the air or the water or the viands — or all combined — had indeed given Shirle the best of appetites, it soon became evident to her that a guest could not be expected to partake of everything this table afforded, hut must exercise the faculty of choice. It is just like Washington Irving ' s Sleepy Hollow supper, she declared. Here is certainly ' the whole family of cakes, ' even to the ' crisp and crum- bling cruller. ' On their drive back that afternoon Shirley said once more. To think you knew Mamma! Yes, said the old man in a husk voice, she was a very dear friend ot mine. But he did not tell her that this had been the one love ot his young man- hood and indeed of his whole life. He only said, Child, make our house our home. And later it came about that she did. — By Several o) I s. 1.38 Thf fnie lady is the woman of refined and gentle manners; ivho does not appear to others what she is not; who shows tender sympathy for those less fortunate than herself; and who lives, acts, and says nothing to the injury of any one: one who has a keen sense of dignity, honor, and jus- tice; who covets the power to uplift, help, and inspire those within her sphere— a woman with whom the virtues are habits. — Nannie Morrison. pa 3 3 O o o c pa c pa pa o ra o Uitr iprturr Hurular Is this the place? demanded Miss Agatha in a shrill voice as her law- yer helped her to alight in front of a spacious gray stone mansion. Yotl sa) that the house has been unoccupied for some time? It looks like it. I think these trees and hushes have been growing at random tor the last fifty years. My! thej planted a great deal in an acre. continued she as she walked with a vigorous step through the handsome but neglected grounds. 1 never did have any use for so many trees and so much under-brush growing around. They must be cut away. Well! what is that across the road? An orphanage, of all things! Are there any children in it? Two hundred. ' How can I ever stand it? It is had enough to be in a city anyhow, but think of living right across from tun hundred children. 1 ' ' As Miss Agatha paused for breath, Mr. Huntington suggested that they go in and take a look at the house. The two walked silently from room to room, their footsteps resounding through the high-ceiled chambers. There was not yet even a servant in the kitchen, and the solitude was oppressive. Miss Agatha felt this although for years her only companions had been three black cats. Suddenh she came to a halt, planted Iter foot firmly on the hard wood floor, and exclaimed: Before I can live in this house, everj outside window must he barred. Mr. Huntington would have laughed, but he saw the seriousness of Miss Agatha ' s expression, and lie was a kind man. She felt his lack of sympathy, however, ami hastened to defend herself. Win. do you think that I would live in a city without taking that pre- caution? When we were coming up from the station, I saw a dozen or more good-for-nothing boys hanging around in front of some stores. I dare sax their onh business is to pick honest folks ' pockets in the day and break into their houses at night. I ' ve lived long enough. Mr. Huntington, tu know the dangers of a city life. The lawyer tried to reassure her, but all to no purpose. He thought that it would be a capital plan for her to rent out several of the rooms. I know two very nice young men — he ventured, but got no further. Men! Do you think that I would have a man near me? A man is one thing not to he trusted. This verdict was pronounced with a tine disregard for the fact that her lawyer was a man. Mr. Huntington only smiled; and if he thought of any other solution of the problem, he kept it to himself. He had learned during his brief acquaintance with Miss Agatha that she was a woman with whom it was unsafe to argue. When each room had been opened and Miss Agatha was satisfied that not a man was concealed behind the massive furniture, Mr. Huntington 140 said good-by, promising again to have the indows barred as soon as possible. Miss Agatha, exhausted by such a strenuous day, stretched herself across a newly-made bed. Soon she fell into a sleep not undisturbed by visions of burglars mounting ladders to her windows, and of children, the greatest of all pests, pouring in through all the doors. Hang! Was that a door slamming, or was it only a dream? There it is again! Miss Agatha opened her eyes. Her heart stood still. She turned her head, and there on a chair right at her bed stood a five-year-old young- ster clapping his hands in delight. Oh-h-h! he cried, 1 knew that the sleeping princess lived in this castle. Aren ' t you tired of sleeping? I wanted to come and set you free, but the matron said it was nonsense, that nobody lived here. 1 slipped away to-day. Gee! but I had a hard time getting here! Weeds can grow a lot in a hundred years, can ' t they? Oh, you are so pretty! And I love you so! Does your finger hurt yet, where you stuck it? Where is the King? I just hate your bad old god-mother. You woke up too soon. You didn ' t give me a chance to kiss you. You know I ' m the true Prince, and I ' ve travelled over the whole world looking for you. The little fellow ' s eyes filled with tears, and he could say no more. You can kiss me now, said Miss Agatha. Then she was ashamed of herself for saying it. A second invitation was not needed. Two chubby arms were thrown about her neck, two sticky lips met hers, then a curly head found a place on her shoulder. Not long afterwards Mr. Huntington called one evening. Two bare feet pattered down the long hall to meet him. A little hand was laid in his and he was led to a transformed room, where Miss Agatha sat with a soiled story-book open upon her knee. Mr. Huntington, you need not bother about the bars, she said smiling. It is too late. A wee mite of a burglar has slipped in already and has stolen all that I have. Now he is going to stay and take care ot me. Sit down, cried the little Prince, tugging at the big man, Auntie .s going to read us the story of the Sleeping Princess, and I ' m not ever goitig awav ' cause I ' m her little boy now. — Louisi Lancaster.

Students — No. Miss S. — Well it ' s high time some one is taking it up then.

The) climbed the Peak to prove their metal, Then went down straight into the Kettle; Twas there within th ' encircling mountain They gaily lunched beside the fountain. Refreshed by food and drink and rest, Adown the rockj gorge thej pressed ; Above, the broad-winged eagle snared, Beneath, the hidden waters roared. 146 Tlie rocks lay heaped in wild profusion, The thickets rank made more confusion. And many a maid, dismayed, confessed She wished she Mere less whitely dressed. The skirts were white, the logs were black And charred along th ' unbroken track — At least if was so at the first: At last the case was just reversed. Hut finally some reached the pike Down at the Gap, and then a hike Began adown the long, long, hill — Twas train time at McGaheysville ! There are some fords along the stream, Where roaming waters plash and gleam ; There was some mud along the way — Before they passed — I ' ve heard them say. For full two miles along the pike The line was stretched in that mad hike; And shouts arose from vale and hill : Tis train time at McGaheysville! The first, with grim determination, Just beat the train into the station ; But where, oh where, and in what fettle Were those who lagged within the Kettle ' . The sun sank down, the minutes flew, The loud bell clanged, the whistle blew ; The Captain said he would not wait. And the travelers stormed at being late. But now again they proved their metal, Those doughty maids from out the Kettle ; They sprinted down the long, long, hill — ' Twas train time at McGaheysville! And so in spite of every fate, Of mails held up and travelers late, Those doughty maids from out the Kettle Got there at last, and proved their metal. And then, as round the Peak they rolled, The Chesapeake-Western was extolled ; And as they caught their breath and fanned. They proudly sang of Shendo Land. 147 A ' UUm UUi imtt thr HEptrurrau ®aat?

There was no light save onl) the sparks that flew now and then from various minds. Mr. Burruss from the executive chair asked Mr. Hcatwole to state the purpose of the called meeting. It is a very personal affair, said Mr. Heatwole ; the members of the Senior Class wish one picture of the- whole faculty — not a number of indi- vidual ones. Thej want to see the faculty ' in the large. ' They wish no memento embodied in the five senses, but rather a clear view of the inner substance that directs their various minds and manners. At first there were objections; the modest ones declared they could not bate their inner souls to the gaze of even the Seniors. Horrors! said others. Some things are better concealed. At this point a propitious and invisible spirit enveloped the faculty, which clouded all the physical senses, save speech and hearing. In a clear mono- tone each member of the faculty without embarrassment spoke from bis in- ner soul and contributed an individual part to the composite picture. Problems of weight and consequence indeed, 1 alone in my office do debate ; Wise counsel is given to all in nerd, Mv judgment and advice great cares abate. 1 sometimes offer sparkles of that fire Whereby we reason, live, and move, and be. With accurate scholarship I inspire All students with a zeal the past to see. I study speech, that girls I mav persuade To be conscientious and true in heart. I am all in all of everything made — From an inner light I learning impart. I argue, reason, divide, judge, define; Oh! to get figures in even girl ' s bead! A happv privilege is always mine To know 1 shall hear, ' The hungrv you ted. ' From main collections m diverse thought I obtain mv powers to hold and please. The beautiful articles 1 have wrought Speak tor mv skill and quiet manner and ease. is: I always cultivate a reach wit. Am sweet and well dressed, for it pays. My dreams and moods to music 1 commit, Melodies in thoughts and deeds guide my ways. 1 All day I impart cheerfulness and make The work easy and happj for our youth. Whether 1 work or play or sleep or wake. The more I live the more I teed on truth. ' ' Mj self-being nature shines on grey days, To encourage patience and industry. I practice in life the art all arts praise, In all things keeping uniformity. My charming powers warm every heart, .And as a nurse or as a mother serve. With busy care my economic art I employ, my great household to preserve. for us who are left there ' s nothing untold; All that has been said we ' ll justify. ( )ne body composite we shall hold Anil endeavor to keep our mind up high. The atmosphere cleared; the faculty yawned; Miss Harrington, first to speak in her individual voice, said: 1 feel like 1 have been talking in my sleep. Do you talk then too? naively inquired Miss Elizabeth Cleveland. We an- adjourned, said Mr. Burruss. 15. (Uir £Uij of thr Ifallry In all the cool green places round.

We do hereby direct that our funeral services shall be conducted b those few friends and well-wishers yet remaining to us, the faculty — onlj enjoin- ing that the obsequies shall be solemnized with that pomp and dignity to which our standing entitles us. As for such estate as it has pleased the fates — viz., our contributor, to give, and our strong arm to win — we dispose of the same as follows: To that august body, the Senior Class of 1913, we bequeath light back- grounds for am and all pictures, together with the privilege of placing three on a page if the members of said class do so desire. To the Alumnae Association we leave one undrunk toast to her greatness. To our beloved advisory member, .Miss Elizabeth P. Cleveland, we give one hand-tinted frontispiece, More Apple Blossoms; also all space which the Seniors did not occupy. To our revered president, Mr. Julian A. BurruSS, we bequeath one un- published Cartoon of the Normals, which he will find useful for advertising purposes. To that growing young fledgeling, the History Museum, we donate one telegram to Wright from an outraged business manager, the same to be used hereafter as a model by all future business managers. To Dr. [. W. Wayland — our guide, inspirer, friend — we will and be- queath, for use in his History of Rockingham County, everything we have left unsaid about The Valley. ' I ' o our most worthy successor, the next Annual Staff, we consign the en tire globe, the aforesaid Valley being excepted ; also enough ready-made ideals for next year ' s SchOOLMa ' am, all that ours aspired to be and was not — to wit : Green bindings, ooze sheep, silk paper cover-. Double-etched cuts; double-toned sepia ink. One dozen inserts, assorted colors, with tissue paper for each. One box of paints, slightly used, with which to add more color to tin- complexion ot the next SCHOOLMA ' AM ; also all left over humorless jokes, that she may grow more bright and sparkling in the years to come. Three rhymes, which we meant to work into the Arts Club Poem on 15( page 1 14 had not the Business Manager checked our muse bj refusing to pa for one cut more — to wit: palette mullet em pet rags raffia liai s umbrella stands practiced hands One Junior cut (1-2 size) ; also one Pinquet Club picture, both unused. ( )ne box of a ' s and e ' s, all si .es, with the injunction that they are to be distributed impartially among all the Catharines and Katheryns on the school roll. All unused definitions of A True Lady. An undisputed right to Room 15, Science Hall, on all Monday, Wednes- day, Friday, and Saturda) afternoons after February 28. The privilege of dedicating the next volume of this publication to us, and of using any or all of the above mentioned legacy without royalty. Lastly nut not leastly, our unbounded sympathy, of which they will stand in dire need, together with a goodh measure of those varying emotions peculiar to Annual Staffs. To our eldest daughter, the next Editor-in-Chief, we bequeath, indivi- dually and alone — One model dummy, 200 pages, slightly the worse for wear, but beautiful in complexity of design. Three pencils, already agonizingly dented with tooth-prints. One hundred squares of roofing tor covering in a ' s that look like it ' s. One derrick for raising capital letters into recognition. One rustv kev to the box for Annual contributions, with all the filling she may find in said box. One copy of Roget ' s Thesaurus, with directions for using the same. We hereby constitute and appoint the One-Eyed Cat as sole executor of this our last will and testament.

JAMES ALFRED PETTIT was born on his father ' s estate near Rosedale Postoffice, Nelson County, Virginia, July twentieth, eighteen hundred and seventy- five, and died at Lovingston, Virginia, September twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and eleven. Having graduated in medicine at the University of Virginia, he married and entered upon the practice ot his profession in the neighborhood in which he was horn; and having in- herited the old homestead, he continued to reside there until his death. He greatly enjoyed the out-door life which he led as a farmer and country phy- sician, and especially his home life, for lie was a devoted husband and father. In spite of his youth — lie was only thirty-six at the time of his death — his intelligence, his wisdom, his genial manner, and his kindly sympathy made him the friend and adviser ot the whole community. He was a con- sistent member of the Methodist Church, and took an active interest in every effort for the moral and intellectual betterment of the neighborhood. At his funeral the esteem in which he was held was shown b ' j a concourse greater than had been seen before in Nelson County on a similar occasion. There is every reason to believe that if he had lived he would have left a record of ever increasing usefulness and prominence in the affairs not onl ot the county but of the State. The members of the Board of Trustees of the State Normal and Indus- trial School tor omen, at Harrisonburg, desire to place on record a trib- ute of their warm affection for their former colleague and friend, and of their deep sense of personal loss, together with an expression of sincere sympathy for his family in their great bereavement. It is therefore directed that this memorial be spread on the minutes of the Board of Trustees and a copy transmitted to his family.
