At last the grand end has come. Who could ever imagine us as anything else but dignified Seniors? Never mind. Freshies dear, there is still a chance for you. We were once Freshmen and fully aware of the fact, acted accordingly. We were thirteen in number and thirteen in class though this did not bother us a bit, for in spite of the luckless bakers' dozen we entered upon our four years of study with interest and pleasure. I-'rom the Marsh Creek country came five good students, Anna Winnie, Alma and Edith Cakebread and Emilie,Gruen- iuger. As luck would have it all of them could not stay with us. Anna. Winnie and Alma left us at Christmas time. Now just the youngest sister is at home. Anna was married in November, 1910, to Mr. Ray Jones and is now residing in Stockton. Winnie married Mr. Chas. Meyers and re- sides in Antioch. We have our studious Edith with us yet. Knightsen gave ns one care free girl, Myra Pearce. a goodly student who has I worked hard for the great day of May 23, 1913. Seven more students were added to our class from Brentwood, Esther Murphy, Ruth Pemberton, Harold Collis, Van Prince, Frank Helm. and Richard and Elaine Wallace. l-'rank Helm and Van Prince graduated from the two year Commercial Class of 1911. Frank has a good position in Oak- land and Van is working in San Francisco. The class of 1914 has two of our num- bers, Harold Collis and Esther Murphy. Harold Collis decided to change his course and Esther was compelled to stay out for a year on account ot' poor health. The rest are working on with the help of Judson Swift who joined us in our Senior year. And now that it is the day of our de- parture we pause. and wish that we could return f0r another year. But we hurry and ask that we may only be remembered by the school we love and we hope we will in the future prove what the school has done for us, and make it proud of us. 1 , THE LIBERTY BELL 2 4 realm ealiz-:sh The voice which sounded in mine ear, Tho' unrecognized, was sweet, It seemed to drive away all fear As I turned, the speaker's face to meet. It was a tall and .graceful maid, Whose voice to me had said, The unfinished part will soon be laid, And our school will surely be the head I seemed to know, and yet knew not The meaning of her words: I was in some familiar shop, But could not make out what I heard. She pointed out a structure grand, Before my very eyesg And then I seemed to understand, For it, to me, was no surprise. It seemed to me, this building new To both of us was known: And very well this maid I knew. In school together we had grown. ISI It seemed to be that self-same schoolg Though it was built anew, And hands that there did wield the tool, ln school had learned the task to do. The name of the school was Liberty, We taught there, it did seem, And tried to raise her in her glory- l woke, and found 'twas but a dream. When years had passed 3 letter came From that school-mate, Susie D., Who had come to teach-well I knew the name, At the new school, Liberty. And to that school I straightway went But I was quite surprised To und it just as I had dremptg And thus my dream was realized. By MARY PARENTI, '14 THE LIBERTY BELL Sclinul Iilruplqerg Cairo, May 14, 1917. Dear Ruth: I suppose you have heard about my father's old aunt coming out to Cali- ornia from Tennessee to see us, and liow the old lady took a fancy to me? tWellJ she is as rich as Croesus, so I thought it would pay to be nice to her, and the result is-Well here I am in Egypt. She is a dear old soul, but she has two pecul- iarties. The first one-I suppose she can't help because it's her name-Mehitable Eliza Susanna Jane! Isn't that a mouth- full? The second is that she goes to sleep every day after lunch and sleeps until dinner time, about half past seven. I might also add that she has a pet aversion toward slang. so I don't dare to use it in her presence or when I'm writing her pokey old letters for her to her pokey old friends. but believe me. I make up for it in my own letters. Well, I mustn't devote too much time to Aunt M. E. S. .Iane's peculiarities but if it were not for the second one, this letter wouldn't have been written at all. Day before yesterday Aunt went to sleep as usual. and I began to cast about for something to amuse myself with. There is a beautiful garden around the place where we're staying. and as I was wandering around it I came upon a young man lying stretched out at full length on the grass. He arose as I approached and I saw it was a Mr. Dalrymple who is stav- lng at the place and with whom I had a I bowing acquaintance. He crossed the lawn and began to walk down the path with me. I told him of my quest for an amusement and be asked me it I had ever heard of Cleopatra's pool. l told him 1 hadn't, so he said we would certainly go see it. He said that whoever looked into it could see what would happen in the future after he had performed certain rites. I laugh- ed at the story but nevertheless I wanted to see Cleopatra's pool. Alter walking for SOIlle time we came to the edge of the garden and there lay a. beautiful pond of the clearest sapphire blue. Cleopatra's pool, said he. Do you wish to try your luck? I laughed and told him that I would like to see my old schoolmates as they would be in after years. He muttered a few words, made a whole lot of funny motions then seized my band and we knelt beside the pool. After peering intently into the blue depths for a, while, would you believe it-the water actually began to take on a grayish tint and I could see faint outlines of trees waving wildly to and fro. I knew it could not be the reflection of those above us br-cause there was not a breath of wind to stir them. Then I could distinguish two human figures a girl in white and a tall n'an in the uniform of a general. He bent his head and kissed her. then turned away and as he turned I could see his face. and I knew at once who it was. It was Harold Collis! Ile looked I THE lil BERTY HELL once more at the girl, who was weeping XxtLll her hands over her lace, tnen turned and walked away. The picture taded and the water resumed its leaden hue. Sud- denly a glare of brilliant light blinded me tor a moment, and when 1 recovered 1 could see a woman on a beautiful stage. She was singing. l know l didn't hear ner, but I seemed to know she was sing- ing. The light fell on her face and I could see that it was Myra Pearce. This picture faded as did the others and l awaited the next eagerly. I had not waited long. The chief iigure was Polly Barkley in a policewomairs uniform. VVa1king be- side her with his collar clutched in her hand was a desperate looking character. Although he struggled to escape Polly handled him with as much ease as if he had been a child. The next picture was very exciting. Crowds of men and boys were shouting joyfully, girls were waving pennants and several men were walking about, a man borne high on their shoulders holding a football. The man was Fred Macgurn. The scene changed. It was the interior of a childs bedroom. There was a tall woman in the room whom I saw to be Edith Cakebread and two little girls, one of whom was screaming loudly and the other was holding two sticks of candy, dancing merrily around the room. The picture faded and another one instantly took it's place. It was a tiny room whose sole occupant was a woman, busily writing. She pushed her hair off her fore- head with an impatient gesture and half turned around. By the dim light I could see that it was Elvira. Lucas and that she was writing poetry. The next was a tropical scene. Tall cocoanut and palm trees stood all around. In the center of the picture was a huge iron pot and two trembling white men stood by it surrounded by a band of half naked savages. The lid of the kettle was raised and the terrified captives were about to be thrown in when from behind a tree 1'ushed a girl, black' like the rest but evidently more kind hearted, for she T.tlI'6W her arms around one of the men whom I saw was Henry Barkley, and would not let them kill either him or his companion Eddie Hevey. As the picture faded all three were seen running rapidly from the place. The next was a young man, with his curly brown hair in disorder, and a daub of brown paint on one cheek, standing before an easel busily painting. A little yellow haired lady sat beside him gaping at the easel with admitting eyes and I knew she was his wife. The man was Richard Wallace. On the other side of the room was another artist, but no pretty woman sat beside him. He was extremely tall and thin and I knew it was Roy Frerichs, familiarly known in high school as Slats. As the scene changed I could disting- uish a tall graceful man. As it became clearer I could see that he was evidentli' a dancing master, and I had to look twice to assure myself that it was Ernest Crockett, but it was indeed he. This pic- ture rapidly changed to what seemed to me all blue sky with a tiny black speck at one side. The speck gradually' be- came larger and began to take on shape and I could see that it was an aeroplane with two occupants. a man and a woman. I did not recognize the woman but could see that the man was Everett Ifemoinc. His name was printed on the machine in large letters and something else was Writ- ten there, but the picture passed so quickly that I could not read it. llfll TIIE LIBERTY IIELI. Next was the interior of a court room. A woman lawyer was talking and Ruthie you'll never guess who this modern Portia was-it was Mary Parenti! lt rapidly faded and another took its place. This was a beautiful country home sur- rounded by a garden. Across the lawn were walking a man and a woman with a little boy running ahead ol' tbetn. The woman was Emma Shellenburger and the other two were evidently her husbattd and son. Following this cheerful picture was a scene in the interior of a hospital. On her knees beside a low. white bed was a sister of charity. As she rose I saw her face and was petrified with astonishment to see that it was Elaine Wallace! As I was wondering what had indttced her to become a nurse the picture suffered the fate of its fellows and another was there. It was an operating room. Two doctors enveloped in long white aprons stood gaz- ing intently upon a figure on the table. Suddenly the figure stirred, and the doc- tors turned toward each other with joy on their faces. As they did so I could see that they were Alvin Howard and Ver- non Cakebread. The next seemed to be a meeting of some sort. As it became clearer I seemed to know that it was a faculty meeting. Among those present I recognized Henri' Plumley, YValter Swift, Neva Sheddrick and Elizabeth Jongeneel. As each onc handed in their report. although l could not read it I seemed to know what was written. I gathered that Henry Plumlev was Professor of Natural Historv. Walter Swift of Dead Languages. Neva Shed- drick of English and Elizabeth of Ancient History. Cleopatra's pool seemed to he as fickle as that lady herself, for not even for their dignitaries did it give much time and they were ,soon gone. After them was an array of fearful and wonderful hats, so l knew it to be a millinery storc. A tall woman roso as two other women tntt-ted the shop and I saw that the first was Adrianna Jongeneel who evidently owned the shop. This was followed by a stnall, but tastefully furnished rootn in which were two young women, one of whom was writing, with piles of manu- script on the table in front of her, and the other was making a. pen and ink sketch. The first one was Esther Wristen and the second was Aileen Porter. Then I saw a laboratory in which were two men. One was standing in a corner mixinglsomething while the other stood before a window holding a bottle on which was a label with the words Freckle Lo- tion, made exclusively by Healy and Porter. Then I recognized the men- Andrew Porter and James Healy. This picture gave place to another which was a great meeting. I saw that it was the House of Representatives at Washington. in session, and the speaker was a tall. angular woman. no less a person than Blanche Juett. Next was a glare of brilliantly white snow. Everywhere was snow, and toil- ing wearily along was a dog team. and two tnen clad in furs. Their faces were almost entirely covered, hut I could see that the men were Byron Fotheringham and Henry Winfree. Then as the picture changed I could see the interior of a beauty parlor. Several exceedingly plain women were going through the painful process of becoming young and beautiful. My gaze lingered on their sufferings a while then shifted to the door where a bilge placard bore the words: Beauty Parlors. Viola Parlin and Susie Dickin- son. The next was a street. or rather n canal. in Venice. Several long. black con- llll THE LIBERTY BELL dolas were moving lazily along, and the gondolier of o11e had a familiar look, As 'he turned to speak to his passengers. I saw it was Raymond Prewett. Then there was the interior of a queer looking schoolroom, filled with little black children. The teacher was tall, fair and painfully skinny, and Ruth, I know you will he pleased-it was you! The next was also a schoolroom, but was evidently in a high school. From various maps scat- tered around. and from the pained ex- pression on the faces of the pupils I gathered that it was a history class, and the teacher was Mae Pemberton. Leaving poor Mae to her fate the scene changed and I saw a surveying party composed of girls. Most of them were strangers but I recognized two, Bessie Sanders and Esther Murphy. Next was a little girl taking a music lesson. She was rather stupid, and her teacher, a man, was almost in despair. As he turned his afzonized countenance to- ward me, I was astonished to see that it was Judson Swift. As the scene changed I saw the in- it-rior of a church. A wedding procession was going slowly up the aisle. As the bride and groom reached the altar they tained and I could see their faces. I ,iciltftl my hand swiftly away from Mr. lmliymple, for the face of the woman was my own face, and the man was Mr. Dal- ifsmplel When I jerked my hand away I lost my balance and with a shriek I full into the przol. In an instant I was Oilt asain, und we were soon running for the house. Aunt met me at the door and the poor old lady nearly had a convulsion when she szlw une. She rushed me up to our rooms and put me lo bed, tht.-u it hen she knew I was helpless she made me swallow some awful mess that she had prey ared. This is two days later and I've fully recovered from my ducking. I haven't seen Mr. Dalrymple since. Moreover, I don't want to. Well, I hear Aunt calling me now so l'll say farewell. Sincerely Yours.

I was sitting by my fireside Thinking of the past, When there upon the coals did glide My graduating class, I saw them all as plain as day Upon those fiery coalsg I saw Elaine so fair and gay, Now the vision grows. There was Edith, face as bright As in the days of yore. Ah! My eyes beheld this sight. It made my poor heart sore. In memory came back the years, The years of long ago. II2 'I The coals did glow, the flames did burst And Richard did appear, Who in the country-side stood first For peace and justice dear. Next Judson stood before me there In happiness and wealth. He got his riches just and fair, He did not stoop to stealth. As for myself I've naught to say That is of consequence. Hut, oh! I wish that they could stay My grief to recompense When memory brings back the years, The years of long ago. I ITIIIHI I Ill-I l.IHl.li'l'Y l!l'fl.I. Q My ,ij R W, c 1 f 1 A Y I V lj' df.

The ancient castle with its towers situated at the head of the valley seeming upon a cliff. Three sidcs are thickly wooded. The accessible side is bare rock and the massive, gray walls, jarred and rent by earthquakes, can be seen clearly in the distance. ln reality it is a place more perfectly fitted for a fortress. Many years have passed since any one has lived there, thus there are many weird tales connected with the castle. ln olden times our grandfathers did not have banks in which to deposit their money so it was the custom to hide or bury it about their homes. Among those who buried their wealth was an olfi miser and he is said to have found a hiding place for his treasure some-where within the castle ' ' ' ' S i K 8 it is -I' S Early one evening a group of strange men, passing through the village above which towered the old castle, stopped at the lun. During the usual exchange of stories. the favorite theme of the old miser's hid- den treasure strongly aroused in them the spirit of adventure. Later they met in Clover's room as he was the most enthusiastic and decided to go in search of the miser's gold. Four nights were to he given to the investiga- tion nf the castle grounds and on the fifth they were to make their entrance. I Silver volunteered to be the first to go forth and make an examination. He made ilis way through the forest and up the narrow gorges over rocky arcades until he stood before the castle. How beautiful it looked as the pale moon shone upon it! But what did he see before him as plain as day! Yes, it was a young girl as pretty as a picture and quite tall. She was stand- ing in the hattlement, waiting. Now an older lady and a handsome youth came to her side. They spoke, then the young man turned to his mother and kissed her tenderly. He took his sister in his arms and thus they stood, his face buried in her hair. Then they too, parted. Now the mother and girl waved their hand- kerchiefs to the departing figure. The mother withdrew and the girl seemingly heartbroken sank down, her head resting on her folded arms. Silver was filled with terror, and hardly believing what he witnessed, re- turned to his fellow comrades. What have you to tell? asked the boys as he stepped across the threshold. Nothing except there is only one way and that's up the front. replied Silver. Well, whose turn is it next? asked Plover. Guess it's mine. answered Elliot. Pe traveled the same way and. like 1 'Fl IE l.I HIGRTY IRICLI. Silver, stood before the castle but as he looked up at it he caught his breath for and wrap there stood a girl, her hair waving in the breeze. As she walked to and fro she paused, raised her hands above her eyes and gazed across the countryg often she stopped suddenly with her eyes fixed upon the ground as if listening. Elliot was a cowardg he waited, only, until he had collected his senses then he fled back to the hotel. What is your report? were Clover's first words. Sanie. came the reply. Silver's eye was upon him from the time he had en- tered and Elliot's weary. excited manner in drawing his hand across his forehead did not escape his friend. He knew he must have had the same experiences. They were room-mates and after they were in bed Elliot asked Silver in almost a whisper, Did you see any thing up there at the castle? Silver started. XVhy man. what are you getting at? Didn't see a ghost did you? After Elliott had told him all, Silver. also related his experience. They decided to tell their companions in the morning. To their stories, Clover replied, You men are actually afraid of your shadows. Since you scared all the others so, we'll all go tonight. When night came they stood. once more, before the castle. Nothing was to I-e seen. What does-look! cried Evans. There appeared the girl as Elliot had seen her. going through the same motions. They saw her run. hold out her hands. then she was caught in the arms of the handsome youth whom Silver had seen. Thev looked into each other's fac'-s. talked and laughed. Suddenly he turned his face. l looked over his shoulder, then freed her ot' his embrace and caressed his mother who had just appeared. They stood for some time together then entered the castle. Better give this up as a had job, eh? asked Clover. Yes, chorused all. This story spread around the town like fire. A party of men came and went through the castle. When they unbarred the door a damp. cool, moldy atmosphere filled the room. Chips of rocks were strewn on the floor and the walls were so dusty that the men could easily write their names upon them. The investigation showed no one had entered. far less lived there. for years. Many years later a picnic was held in the grounds about the castle. It was in the evening and the people to their as- tonishment saw an old. crippled woman walk out on the balcony. Why that's my grandmother. gasped a girl in the crowd. What's she doing there? asked ev- eryone simultaneously. She can't he there: she was home when I left, was the gasping reply. This led to another investigation but this time the mystery was solved. The outside of the northern wall was not wood hut one large glass mirror. This girl's parents lived on the opposite moun- tain slope and it was found that if any one stood on the flat. hare summit. the light of the moon reflected them in the mirror of this castle. To make sure of this theory it was tried and found to he so. At last, the mystery which surrounded this castle was cleared but as yet no one has ever found the hidden treasure. l THE LIBERTY BELL fm Qztrlg ,4.'HUl'1IilI5 iilhitenhtre Hy VIOLA PARLIN, '16 lt was on u frosty morning And ice was on the ground.

Do you realize that the 23rd of May is drawing near? Ah, such a sad feeling seizes me as I think, No longer shall I be one of the 'happy instigators of the many social af- fairs of Liberty Union High School. As I ponder, the social events of the past term appear in the following manner: On Friday evening. Sept. 13, 1912, at the Masonic Hall the faculty and three upper classes gave a reception to the lfreshmen, their parents and former grad- uates. Mr. Otto and Miss Pearce gave interesting reeitations. Then several il- lustratcd songs were given by the upper classinen. Some of those which were very pleasing to the audience were: The Soldier's Farewell, Frances Brown and Everett Lemoine. The Troubadour, Elaine Wallace and Harold Collis. Others were:- Old Black Joe, Robert Barkley. In the Gloainingf' Esther Wris en The Last Rose of Summer, Edith Cakebread. Several interesting charadcs were also presented by different ones of the uvpvr classes. After thc program, games were played and later dainty refreshments of ice cream and cake were served up-stairs in the banquet room. Next in order was the Seniors' Ball, Ilcceinher 20. 1912. The Masonic Hall was artistically decorated with holly ber- rics and mistletoe. IISI THE LIBERTY IZICLL The excellent music given by the Oak- ley Orchestra guided our feet so that we kept perfect step without any effort on our part. About twelve o'c-lock a delightful sup- per was served at the Hotel. After which tl'e dancers returned to the hall. Danc- ing then continued until very early morn- ing when all went home declaring that there was never such a good time in Brent- v'ood. Very pretty posters the work of the art- ists ot' the class attracted much attention and did much in bringing the dancers which filled the hall. v The annual Junior Ball was given this year on April 4. 1913 at the Masonic Hall. The hall was very prettily decorated in the class colors lavender and white. The members of the class wore badges of the same color. Delightful music was given by the Brentwood Orchestra. At about twelve o'r-lock the grand march took place, led by Aileen Porter, president of the class. and Henry Plumley. An excellent repast of ice cream and cake was served up stairs. A few hours later the lights were put out and the dancers returned to their homes well satisfied with the good time.

Oh hello, how did you ever get back so soon? Well you see, mother wasn't home so l just ate a bite and ran. But, oh dear! I have to study, how I wish I didn't. Oh, don't study now, let's do some- thing exciting. Yes do, same a cry from a jolly bunch of girls and boys in the hall. What's all this about, asked Myra as she appeared on the scene. We're going to do something real ex- citing, came the reply, for you know the l'niversity Inspector came, the eleven o'cloek train was so late, he just got here. And the Professor had to take him to the hotel for lunch, put in Emma, for you know even the wise have to eat. He had to leave the students alone. the other teachers had gone to their lunch already. Hurrah! Not a one of them will be back until almost one, shouted Walter. My, what a jolly time we will have this noon, said Vernon. his eyes sparkl- ing with mischief. l.et's have a watermelon feed, sug- gested Susie who was always fond of eat- ing. Sure, I'm terribly hungry For water- melon, piped up a little Freshie. I'm afraid: what if we get caught? spoke up another thoughtful one. Oh, nonsense, come on for a good time, was the reply. So up town Harold and Everett who were ever ready for fun went to purchase At the foot of the stairs how- tue melon. ever, they were joined by Roy. A tew little Freshies ran out on the porch to watch for their return. Sudden- ly one burst in the door crying. Come on and look girls, they must be bringing the whole store. The girls madly rushed to the door and saw the boys nearing the gate, carry- ing two large melons. Now the question arose where the mel- ous should be eaten. Let's eat them on the stairs, sug- gested one of the boys. No, it is too sunny out there, we will all spoil our complexionsf' said Frances thoughtfully. We can eat them in the hall, and put all the rinds in the coal scuttle, put in Ruth. ln the stove why dou't you say, chip- ped in the mischievous Fred. lf we eat on the steps. we will surely get them dirty with the seeds and rinds. Then, oh my! What a lecture we will get. spoke up a Sophomore. But we have been forbidden to eat in the hall, said a wise Senior. E211 'Tllli lil IZERTY BELL Nevertheless int.o the hall the crowd proceeded. Where shall we get a knife, now, said Harold. Oh, I guess my pocket knife will do, answered Everett. The melons were cut one after another until everyone had all he could eat. Fun and merriment abounded and no one thought. of cue o'clock approaching or that they were eating in the hall against rules. The hall lookcd like a melon parlor. Rinds lilled the coal scuttle to the top, a pile in the middle of the floor. and more were scattt-red about. But nevertheless with all the merriment the hands of the old clock in the assembly room slowly ap- proached a quarter to one. Suddenly the gate loudly hanged. Can that be the Professor? cried a Senior wit.h terror in her Voice. Let's run. suggested seine Fresh- man. if he finds us. what then? No that will never do, the upper class men explained, 'tYou have to suffer with us. For the lirst time durins: the hour silence reigned. Quickly the students glanced around the hall. Their faces turucd pale with fear. Alas! rinds t.hat some mischievous Freshman had dared to throw lay on the door. Seeds were scattered abroad. Each student realized that punishment. awaited him for disobey'- iug rules. The girls voices trembled with fear. The boys laughed, they knew not for what. l32l If they could only dispose of the rinds. Put them in the stove! No they could not do that for they would be found. ltuu! No never, for their our mis- chief. Harold picked up the coal scuttle in the excitement and started for the door, but alas! he stumbled and out rolled the rinds -:ver the floor. No time was left to pick them up for footsteps were now heard upcn the stairs. Louder and louder the noise grew and closer amlroached the foot- steps. Each one stood anxiously waiting, tl6llll'bllI1g,' with fear. At last the door was opened. t 0h! it's only dear little Pat. How you have frightened us. cried the girls in relief. Just in time for the feed, shouted the boys and bang! bang! the rinds flew at him. Just came in to tell you the Professor is coming. stamniered Pat. Quickly the students flew in every di- recticn carrying the rinds out of the hall in every conceivable way. Some were for- gotten in their excitement which were found by the ever critical eye of the Professor. ' After everyone was quietly seated in the assembly' hall at one o'clock, those who had rartaken in the merriment were ordered to report at the office after school.

A Gllimuirzzl ?xperiment By BI..-XNCHE I. .Il'I'ITT, '15 Did you ever hear about my queer experiment? Well, then l'll tell you about it. As you know, I am a country doctor but I always try to keep up to date. I was very much interested in the study of mi- crobes for it is this tiny germ that causes disease and if we can find some way to get rid of the germ we have a cure for the disease. I had a tiny room built in my back yard where I carried on my work of ex- perimenting. I had several bottles, each crntaining some kind of microhe. One was labled, Germs of Yellow Fever. Germs of Tuberculosis, and Bacteria of Small Pox. My wife thought it was awful to have such things about and said, Why, John, I wouldn't go in your old bug hospital for anything. You never know what kind of a bug is liable to get hold of you. I carried on my experiments in private and cne day, by mistake, I found that the application of radium through certain chemical ingredients would cause a mi- crobe to increase in size. I was alarmed at first because I thought that a larger micrcbe could do so much more damage than a smaller one but I decided to get a harmless germ and increase it in size, then try to find something to exterminate the az'-rm all together. I I at last decided a harmless germ of influenza would be the thing and at the end of a month I had a germ walking around my room about the size of a small dug. In fact it resembled a dog in its size. shape and eyes. I named him Mike and we soon became very fond of each other but every time he came near me I would have a fit of sneezing just as if I were coming down with a had cold. No one knew about my secret until my niece came to visit us. One day she had a party under the trees in the back yard and we were all enjoying ourselves when I was called away. In my hurry I forgot to lock the door to the labora- tory. Soon after my departure the young folks were walking around the yard when they came to my room. Nancy, my niece, said, This is Uncle John's room. He has all kinds of queer things but he always has it locked, She tried the door and as it wasn't locked. the young folks went in. Mike spied them instantly and came running to them. They thought him very cute but as soon as he came near to them, they all started sneezing, and wiping tears from their faces until at last all had to go to their homes. Mike followed them. When I returned home my wife told me about the time Nancy and her friends had had but I was very innocent. I 'l'I ll-I LIBERTY BELL I was worried to think Mike had es- caped because 1 knew he would make trouble. Sure enough that night my telephone rang. The call was from an old friend of niine who lived a few blocks from us. He said, Hello, doctor, come to my house quick. The devil is to pay. What is the trouble? I asked. Hanged if l know. We've all sneezed ourselves nearly to death. Grandma has sneezed her spectacles to pieces, 1 sueezed all the buttons off my vest and the baby has sneezed herself out of the cradle. My wife is badly frightened and says its ap- pendicitis. Hurry. When I arrived at the house here was Mike roaming around the room so I said. Get this dog out of the house. As soon as he was taken out they stop- ped sneezing so I gave them some harmless medicine. Tom said, You're the best one for giv- ing medicine for immediate relief of any one I know. l left them and went home sore at heart because I knew Mike would make more trouble but I heard no more com- plaints at the end of a week so I was beginning to feel easier because I thought perhaps Mike had been killed but alas! no such luck. My wife and I were in church and the preacher had just announced a hymn when who should come marching up the aisle, but Mike. 1 began to feel my heart sink when he went nn to the preacher. The preacher said, We will now sing nnniber-ker-chew. We will now sing ker-chew-ker-chew. The poor man sneezed till the tears came from his eyes and his false teeth fell to the ftaor.

The preacher when he had recovered his breath and teeth said, I do not know what sacriligious person distributed snuff in this room but it is obvious that further services cannot be decorously conducted this morning. The congregation will arise and be dismissed. The affair caused much excitement and much talk and the trustees of the church offered a reward for the perpetrator of the outrage. while the Daily News came out with The Growing Depravity of Our Young Men. l, alone knew the guilty person and my conscience troubled me. I tried very hard to capture Mike without success. At last. however, I heard of the people of another town being afflicted with sudden and strange attacks of sneezing or acute in- f1nenza . as the doctors called it. I smiled t'or I knew Mike had departed our neigh- borhood and a great weight of responsi- bility was taken from me. E281 'I 'l'llI-I l.ll1l'fll'l'Y IllCl.l.

'IB lt was a warm June day and I was sitting out on the front porch reading a hook, or trying to. My thoughts were anything but glad, I can assure you. I was but 3 girl of eighteen with scarce- ly a ce11t in the world and no occupation that I could follow. I had lost my mother a year ago and my father had followed her six months later. I had no relatives that I knew of, and so I was quite alone in the world. I was staying with Mrs. Reed, an old t'riend -of my mothers, and although they were very kind I could see they f-'lt my long stay tiresome. No wonder I felt sad: who wouldn't under the circumstances, and I laid ull' head wearily on the book I was reading. Presently Mrs. Reed came Out with a letter in her hand, 'AI have some very good news for you. Myrtle, my dear, she said. let me read this letter to Yon. Pine Grove, Montana. .Iune I0, I9I0. My dear Mr. and Mrs. Reed: You will no doubt he surprised to learn that I, James Carlton. am still alive and well. I know it was reported that I was killed in the mines and my deceased brother, Ralph, thought so. To tell you the truth I was seriously injured but re- covered, went hack to work again and as luck would have it, made a large fortune. I Il 0 I learned through the papers of my llI0l.ll6l'S death and that he left his only surviving child almost penniless, and that she was dependent on you. If she wishes it, I would be more than glad to have her come and live with me as I am also all alone in the world. I am enclc-sing a check for her expenses both for her ticket and any other things she may find necessary to travel in. Let me know her decision as soon as possible. James Carlton. What a cold formal letter from an uncle, I exclaimed, when she had finished reading. Yes, but Jim, though peculiar. is kind hearted, she answered. Then in a mo- ment she asked. almost anxiously I thought. Will you go to him, Myrtle? Indeed yes, 'I answered, What else is there left for me to do? I shall send a telegram telling him I will start. the day after to-morrow. This I did at once and then went about making preparations necessary for my journey. I started on the fifteenth and did not expect to reach Pine Grove until the eigh- teenth. I arrived at Butte, Montana on the six- teenth, but it was a two dav's journey in 21 wagon from there to Pine Grove. l THE l.lBER'l'Y BELL My uncle had not come to meet me but had st-nt Douglas Wells. a cow-boy, in- stead. lt was the first time in my life l had traveled any distance alone. and it was ex- peciaily trying to be landed in Montana without knowing a soul and to be escorted around by a savage cow-boy. tl had read such awful stories about theml, it was no wonder I was almost frantic with fear. 'If yo' please, Miss, he said, the old man couldn't come himself so he sent me instead. l'll take yo' to the hotel and to-morrow mornin' we'll start for Pine Grove. Thanks, was all I could manage to say. He looked at me so very queerly and a smile passed over his brown face while his dark eyes shone with merriment he tried to hide. We went to the hotel where I engaged a room. It was late and I was tired. so directly after slipper I went to bed. The land lady called me at five in the morning for we were to leave at six. My escort was there on time with a splendid pair of mustangs and a, nice buggy. We were soon on our way and I cer- tainly did enjoy the beautiful country we passed through. I was very anxious to know something about my uncle so I said to my companion, l have never seen my uncle, and I am in- terested to know what kind of a man he is. Won't you tell me something about him? Waal. he answered. he's a queer old dutfer. I dou't understand much about him, nor does anybody else, I reckon. He stays alone most of the time up in a little tower room on top of the house. He never lets anybody go up there and I haven't the least idea what he's got there. But he's a good sort, and Douglas shut up and not another word would he say. The roads were awfully rough and the sun was so hot the horses had to stop and walk a great deal. The consequences were we didn't reach Big Bluff where we were to have stayed all night, by dark, and the cowboy said, Guess we'll have to roost here all night, Miss. It's too dark to see the road now and anyway the horses are all in. What, I almost screamed in my ter- ror. Stay in this awful place all night? And I looked at the big trees and gloomy mountains and sincerely wished I was some place else. We haven't anything to eat, have we? l continued, and the wild animals will But to tell the truth I was more afraid of him than the wild animals. Oh, he said, we've got plenty to eat. l always carry provisions and cooking pots along in case anything should happen. He turned the horses loose and answer- ed to my questioning eyes. They won't leave us. Then he built a fire and put some meat and corn on to cook, washed some potatoes, and sliced the bread, while I sat and watched him with wide, wonder- ing eyes. He would look at me once in a while with those merry eyes of his but I could not see anything funny unless it was my- self. eat us up. won't they? Supper is served, Miss, he said and in spite of my fear I was really hungry. He sat there and looked at me. Not a word did he say and I felt nervous. Finally I said, Won't you tell me a story or experience you have had, Mr. Wells? I know you must have had many up here. E311 TIIE LIBERTY BELL Call me 'Dug', Miss, I ain't used to be- I thought it was about time to suggest ing called Miz, he answered slowly, As to an experience. I guess I will tell you onc your uncle and I had right here about thrce months ago. We were comin' from Butte and we delayed so, we camped here all night. r uncle was sittin' just where you are and I was sittin' here. The smoke a pourin' from the fire and everything just so still as could be. All at once Mr. Carlton looked up in- to the smoke and I looked too. There was a man standin' in the smoke just as sure as sliootin' and your uncle says to him, 'Ralph have you gone into the great be- youd'?' The spirit nodded its head. then your uncle asked, 'Ra1ph, is there any- thing you want me to do?' The spirit nodded again and made a motion like writing a letter, then disappeared. Your uncle turned to me and asked. 'Did you see that Douglas' 'Yes,' I an- swered. 'That is called the Sixth Sense the power to see those who have gone be- fore.' he said, 'not many have that power and those who have it are either called frauds or insane.' Then he fell to thinkin' and I didn't disturb him any more. Soon we both roll- ed up in our blankets and went to sleep. got You 110 W was was ln the mornin' we went home and we hadn't been there but a little while when the old man came to me with a three months old paper in his hands, tyou know we don't get the mail up here very ofteni. and pointed out an article to me.

I felt awfully sorry for you, Miss Myrtle, he said. going to bed. so I did. You can sleep in the buggy, I guess, Ire said, I'll lie down here and keep the file going. so as to keep off the wild an- imals. and he smiled. Would you let me have one of your rei'olyers? I asked, I would feel safer if I had it. Although I didn't know how to use it. He took one of his revolvers from his belt and handed it to me without a word. then he helped me into the buggy and went back to the fire. I was so tired that I slept in spite of myself end did not wake until I heard a voice say. You had better get up Miss. and eat something before we start. I jumped up and the revolver fell to the ground. It's a good thing it wasn't loaded. said the cowboy as he picked it up. I looked at him, Wasn't it loaded? No, Miss Myrtle, I gave you the empty one for I was afraid you might take me for a wild animal and shoot me, then you would have been sorry, he said sarcas- tically. I felt ashamed. but angry with him for tzeating me so and our ride home from there was not a pleasant one. We neared my uncle's home about six o'clock and I saw the little tower room that Douglas had told me about. There were many trees about the house. which was very old fashioned but. comfortable. My uncle whom I now saw for the first time was not an old man. Indeed he look- cd to he merely in his prime. A hand- some man tho he had most peculiar eyes and a queer expression on his face. My uncle kissed me. while Douglas lookfd at us with that sarcastic grin. E321 w 'l'lll'I l.lBl' RTY llEl.l. xY9ll'0lll9 to your future hollle, little niece, said llly uncle, May you be happy here. Thank you. uncle, l said. We then went into the house which was fllrnished. surprisingly well. I fell in love with the place right away. I told my uncle ot' my journey and he said. You need never have any fear of Douglas. He is the best boy I ever knew. .Inst then Douglas Ckllll? in and we all three sat down to supper. The cowboy still watched me with those eyes of his and I secretly wondered if all cowboys looked at a person in such a way. After a few weeks I got used to my uncle-'s queer wavs and Dng's queer eyes and liked them both very much. I was curious to know about the tower room but the door was always locked and nw uncle never asked me to go up with him so my curiosity was not satisfied. One evening my uncle and I were talk- ivlc of religion, spirits and the I-Iereafter when he aslfed me to accompany him to his room on top of the house. I went. I never saw such a room in IIN' life. On the walls hung the queerest lictules I had ever seen. I do not know the words to use to describe them. My uncle showed me a small instru- ment on the table that looked to me like the instrument used in telefzraphing. He told me to take hold of the two wires hanging down from it. This I did and instantly a chill ran through my body that made my hair stand right up. My eyes grew large and wide and my whole hody shook like a leaf. My head ached, my eyes burned. my entire body felt like it was on tire. It was so sick I thought I was going to die. Then every thing changed: beautiful flowers hlomued around me. the birds I 4 'D sang, ob! so sweetly in the trees. Soon came far off lllllSlC, sweeter than any- thing I had ever heard in my life. Child- FPIIIS happy faces shone around me, and oh! ever lasting joy! my mother came and stroked my hair as she used to do. Accompanied by her harp, she sang a heautiflll song, Where the Myrtle and the Ivv doth entwine. When she had finish- ed she said. Your good uncle has given you the 'Sixth Sense,' which enables you to see and feel us and know we are near, but I am afraid It will injure you if he does it again. My father came and folded me in his arms, calling me his little jewel, he whisp- 'e'i. I will watch over you little daught- er. lllll I know one in the flesh, who will watch over you more tenderly than I can if you will let. him. Then another shock came Il'l0I'e terrible than the first. The scene changed again. Millions of years had passed and I was far beyond the rays of the farthest star, alnong the isles of the blessed. I had at last reached the highest sphere and could go no farther. It had taken millions of years. Douglas was by my side, mother father, uncle and others were grouped about me. It seemed. through my uncle. I had climbed to the highest realms of the spiritllal world. I knew no more. I was awakened in the morning by Dllg's voice singing, Where the Myrtle and the Ivy doth entwine. Why, that's the song my mother's spirit sang last night, I murmured. A thought came over me. Did I dream it? I must have for here I was in bed. Still it was so real I thollght It must be so. I was so weak I could hardly get out ..3 I THE LIBERTY BELL of bed and my fare was as pale as a ghosts My uncle looked keenly at me, as I entered the dining room. How do you feel this morning Myrtle, dear? he asked. Not Wery well, I said. Then 1 ask- ed him if it was a dream I had last night. He looked at me queerly and said, Judge for yourself, my dear, if you think it is a dream all right, if not, all right, and he got up and walked to the stairs that led to the little room murmuring as he went, I won't try it again for awhile, she's not strong enough yet, and soon I heard the loek snap as he shut the door behind him. I went out into the garden and sat down. Soon Douglas appeared and sat down beside me. I told him my last v T nights experience and he said, It's kin- der funny isn't it, I had a dream also last night. and the night before that and many other nights, which I hope to realize some day. and he went off singing, Where the Myrtle and the Ivy doth en- twine. He looked back at me and smiled, not sarc-astically this time. I smiled also for I knew the dream he meant and l idly watched two doves cooing c-ontentedly on the roof of the house.

The big Moose, Teddy, like a monarch grand, with head aloft surveyed the land, And looking toward President Valley. Decided he would call a rally, So he se-nt out the secret word, To every moose and moosey of the herd, For to give the timely warnin, That they would stampede in the morning. That. bright and early en-masse, They would make the run for Progressive Pass That leads into a big rich valley, Where the herd of moose could at leisure daily. To browse sweet grass and all kinds of clover. And sweetly dream and think it over How the XVilson pack looked the winner, In their big race for a moose-meat dinner. The big moose urged them, to greatest speed And for this, there was urgent need For the herd of moose could almost feel The cruel fangs, set in jaws of steel. Putting and gnashing their tender legs. Until they were scarcely more than pegs. And their mournful wail went to the sky That they did not have wings to fly. But the Wilson wolves cut them down And cut their throats. the bleats to drown. Leaving them all on the field of battle For the storm and gales their bones to rattle. IIISI E- 4 r 'vi .4 7 : ,3 A - 7 M --2 4 .. - L. f,- E, LI .... 1 ' A -' AA I 2 C :- - , -A .: LQ W r- K, v - ..

There were twenty-five direetors present and their wealth would total S2o,otm.oo, Not one of them arose. The question was repeated until the sum was reduced to SIMD, when one director arose. It developed that most ot' the others present began life without a dollar and it was disclosed that the President who had been asking the question began his business eareer without a pair of shoes. end all present attributed their sur-cess to the habit ol' saving eaeh penny a-nfl dime in early life. Follow the example ot' these suet-essful men. and open an at-eount with the BANK OF ANTIOCH. established in your midst in 1891, and reeeive -l per cent interest compounded semi-annually on same, and some day you will own a bank of your own.
