12 THE MAGNET At about the same time Billy surrendered to the Sand Man and fell asleep. Soon, in his dreams, he found himself climbing from his window and sliding down a rope. But the wise Father had cut the rope and poor Billy was falling, falling through a space which seemed miles to him. At last, however, his body landed with a thud and Billy awoke. Doris B. WILDER, ’17. The Coming of Night IGHT was approaching. We were riding swiftly along on one of the N fine State roads near Boston. lt was a night in April, when the day lingers and lingers, loth to go, and night is slow in coming. The sun had just gone down, leaving the bright blue sky flecked with fleecy, pink-gold clouds, and the earth was bathed in a warm, rosy light. Then, slowly, darkness began to appear. The pretty pink clouds became an inky blue, and slowly from the horizon the purple garments of night be- gan to appear. The hills, which had looked so brown and bare, were now wrapped in a coat of misty, blurry blue. Against this the trees stood out cold and naked. We now came to a grove of evergreen trees. The soft warm green of their leaves against the blue of the hills gave an air of peace and content. Now we came to a tiny pond. This looked like a patch of sky set down in the field. From the center of it the reflection of the new moon sent out pale, silvery, rays. With a sudden sweep came the dark, and with it the twinkle of lights from the houses on the hills around. Far away in the west the evening star cheerfully greeted this new night. RutH Harris, ’17. The Dragon Fly Glowing, darting, dragon-fly, How I wish that I might fly With such beautiful wings of gauze, Hither and thither, with never a pause! Beautiful creature of nature divine, Flitting about in the bright sunshine, Darting hither, to and fro, High in the air now down so low, More like a gleaming sunbeam bright, A fairy creature born of the light, Are you, glowing, darting, dragon-fly! How I wish I, too, might fly! WALTER ROLLINS, 'I7.
