It xvas a handsome fish xveighing about txvo pounds. They lished, off and on, all day, but nobody beat her, 'although they caught some good sized ones. They had dinner at noon, and after fishing and tramping during the afternoon xvere ready to return to camp and have a good night's sleep. The next and last morning of their camping trip they all started for a tramp to a high hill near the lake. This xvas an exploring party.

Of course the animals did not know what he was talking about but when he said mumps, all the forest people un- derstood that he was indeed a great physician. They had just been suffering from this disease all through the forest. Some of the animals then told Dr. Bull- frog thatlthey had lost the greater part of their families and had some at home suH'ering from mumps now. Of course the frog doctor could not understand what they were saying. Con- sequently he piped up in frog language, fling-o-uni, chugfo-um. :Xt this the old man Fox got very angry and said.

The most valu- able of the camp supplies were a combi- nation knife, a hunting knife. a small axe and a cooking kit in combination. A few minor objects. such as some heavy twine, a few nails, a compass, and a field glass and camera were added. The food was mostly canned goods, such as fruits, vegetables, milk and soups. W'e also carried a good supply of eggs, butter, bacon, corn meal and cocoa. We walked to the place where we were going to camp. It was a small clearing on the edge of a beautiful lake, just the ideal spot for a camp. The first thing that took up our atten- tion after our trip was the puttingup of the tents, but this didn't take long. The next thing was to build a fire and tix a place to cook. The boys gathered some cedar and then made a pile of hard wood. First the cedar was put in place over a little birch bark. Then the hard wood was placed crosswise on top of this. But before the fire was lighted they found two sticks about four feet long with crotches in the ends.' These they drove ,Q -S HT-Q .V ...ha ll Qui-fn .,1 ' ,fa .

Priscilla sat down on a footstool to put on her shoes. She slipped one foot into a brown boot and quickly withdrew it. Putting her hand into the shoe, she brought out o a silver ring set with emeralds and pearls.

A game of football was going to be played in the afternoon. The cheering section were greatly aroused by the tricks of the school mascot, a monkey, pre- sented to the school by an alumnus. The game began and Dlocko, the mascot, came to sit beside Peggy and Ted, his 'favorites Ted was watching him when he pulled Gertrude's ring out of his pocket, and began to play with it. The explanation was simple. .locko had paid the girls a visit and taken whatever pleased him, then he had dropped some of the articles into Peggy's shoe. RUTH NTCLIEAN, '23. THE POLISHED THIEF It was a cold and bitter night in the middle of january, the snow had begun to fall in thesafternoon and before dark 'all traces of a road had been obscured from sight.
