Where are they now. those happy days gone by, Yvhere 1-are was east aside without a thoug'ht'? We hear that 'Esther's standing' is quite high, And through long' years ot' patience she has brought llerself to tear-h what to her others taught, And Susie also elinrhs the tear-hers' scale, Where in young' brains those lessons all are wrought. With gladness do l now these tidings hail, ' Hut to tell all their worth would be a longer tale. Aileen. in typing, is, indeed, quite swiftg 'She always works and never laeks a plaee. To show her training' was to her a gift: She masters shorthand with a ready grave. And Henry, too, in life has won a raee. In all wireless derives he is skilled.

Alk in Burgess but not so broad ot' shoul- der. He too was S'1ll.l1'0-jilWC4l and lirm ehinned. Ilis mouth and nose elosely re- sembled Alvin's but his eyes-were as blue as the heavens and his broad l'orehead was set oft' by a mass ol wavy blond hair. Sherwood sought Alvin's eompany as often as she eould and the tw,, beeame firm friends. Day after day brought up the sinbjeet of football. But it was of no use. Alvin only shoved his hands in his trouser poekets and smiled sweetly. Ile promised t'aitht'ully to attend the praetiee gaine with liawrenee. This was to be the last game on the home grounds and the next Saturday the team was to go to Woodland to fight for the ehampionship ot' the state. Things looked blue for Au- bu1'n. Jaek Daulton had been shifted to full-baek. but the fellow who had taken his plaee at wing was at home in bed with typhoid fever. Jaek must go ibaek to wing' and the substitute full was only a fresh- man and new to the game. As Alvin entered the gate that Satur- day afternooon his fare wore a deep seowl. If I had only felt as Sure of my- self when I entered here as I do now. I might have been able to help old Sher out then but I'm afraid its too late now. he said. It was a regular Rugvby day. Everybody was there. The Auburn side was a. mass ol? blue and white while on the other side the small band from liawrenr-e defiantly waved their red and gray. Between them lay tho brown field with its white lilies sparkling' in the sunlight. . It was a hard game and Ilawrenee took it three to nothing. IVoodland had beaten liawrenee. What was Auburn to do? Al- vin thought ot' this as he made l1is way toward the gym. Well he eonldn't help it for everyone knew how he hated foot- ball. Ile met Sherwood at the gym door. HFIII awfully sorry Sher, old man, he said. Yom wouldn't have had any eause to be it you had been playing' Burgess. I re- member how you waded into us when you were playing' full baek on the Deening team two months ago. said the Lawrenr-e eaptain who had just eome up. Playing full with Ileening? Al why did you tell me you didn't play foot-ball? asked Sher with a look of reproaeli in his eyes. For a minute a, deep frown darkened Alvin's faee, but it eleared away and he shoved his hands in his trousers poekets and grinned cheerfully. Oh just cause, he began teasingly. Cause you're an old false alarm and you're going' to play fullback at Woodland next Saturday. Finished Sher. and he threw his arms around Alvin and hugged him as tight as he could.
