Miffl MmiK A Merrie Ballad of the Class of 1913 f ERE came full au hundred maidens fair To the Normal, oh the Normal; And by threes and fours they lodged them there, In the old Normal School in Farmville. Ami there was weeping through the halls At the Normal, oh the Normal; These maidens mourned one and all, In the old Normal School in Farmville. For fathers and for mothers dear, In the Normal, oh the Normal, They sighed and made a moan so drear, At the old Normal School in Farmville. For hours they sat them in a row, In the Normal, oh the Normal; Till to Stone ' s office they should go, In the old Normal School at Farmville. By night there came a band so strong, They hazed these lorn ones sore and long, At the Normal, oh the Normal; And then at length all spent and worn They dubbed them rats wi ' muckle scorn, In the old Normal School in Farmville. 69 Anon came days filled full wi ' woe, Anil fain would they hare learned no more, At the Normal, oh the normal. From morn till night those teachers mean Did vent upon them all their spleen, In the old Normal School in Farmville. Full soon of patience they ' d none left, Of every joy they ' d been bereft; Oh the Normal, oh the Normal ; So as the shades of night did fall They hied them to the banquet hall, At the Normal School in Farmville. And then in mirth and merry din They feasted. Oil the Normal, oh the Normal. The matron with a doleful mien Appeared upon that joyful scene,- At the old Normal School in Farmville. And when the next night rolled around, Assembled, she upon them frowned, At the Normal, oh the Normal. She said she was full mortified, Those maids had often her defied, At the old Normal School in Farmville. To Dr. Jarman then she went, And he on them his wrath did vent, At the Normal, oh the Normal. Ere long the Seniors bold forsooth A challenge sent them without ruth, At the old Normal School in Farmville. It fell upon Thanksgiving Day, Each side addressed them to the fray. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. The strife was fierce as ne ' er before; The balls did in the basket soar, At the old Normal School in Farmville. The shouts did make the welkin ring. And long did the conquering Seniors sing, In the Normal, oh the Normal. The grandstand fell, the earth did shake; But naught their boastful joy could stake, At the old Normal School in Farmville. When the birthnight sped all bright and fine Of that good saint, clept Valentine, In the Normal, oh the Normal. Forgetting strife the Juniors fair For the Seniors did a feast prepare, At the old Normal School in Farmville. And so they toiled, full oft they ' d groan ; They ' d sigh and make a heavy moan. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. But when the festal board did shine, Bedight in garments rich and fine, At the old Normal School in Farmville, Each maid herself to the feast, addressed, And blithely spake she to each guest. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. Right freely did the wassail flow, Right cherr ' ly did the faces glow, At the old Normal School in Farmville, And when the blithesome month of June Her blossoms showered all aboon, At the Normal, oh the Normal. With eyes downcast, hearts passing heavy, The Seniors left them in a bevy; From the old Normal School in Farmville-. And lo, when next September came. Worshipful Seniors they became, At the Normal, oh the Normal. The training school was their ordeal, And a fiery one, they seemed to feel, At the old Normal School in Farmville The Stoney ' ' way they had to tread. All strown wi ' Phil, and Moral Ed. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. And many a tear they shed, I trow, Of supervisions they had enow, At the old Normal School in Farmville. And when assembled was the class, Wi ' one accord they chose a man. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. Sir Thomas was the doughty knight. Him seemeil a most lordly wight, At the old Normal School in Farmville. And in their annuals was set down Fair Ellen ' s name of great renown, In the Normal, oh the Normal. The house of Larmour old and rare Did give a leader passing fair, At the old Normal School in Farmville. Eight wisely did she rule, and well And many a turmoil did she quell, At the Normal, oh the Normal. Each day their pride did wax more strong; The morn of combat dawned ere long, At the old Normal School in Farmville. The sport did was both fast and furious; The field was thronged wi ' rooters curb At the Normal, oh the Normal. Ball after ball did reach the goal, And loud did the victors ' chorus roll, At the old Normal School in Farmville. The woeful Juniors left the field, To the conquering Seniors they now yield. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. To them, I we ' en it seemed right fair That the Juniors should a feast prepare, In the old Normal School in Farmville. Wi ' muckle joy they sat them down, Wi ' merit crowned and fair renown, At the Normal, oh the Normal. Eftsoon the season sped apace; Commencement stared them in the face. Oh the old Normal School in Farmville. Gramercy! then these maidens cried, And to the seamstress straight they hied. Oh the Normal, oh the Normal. Alack! the woes they suffered there I will in pity to you spare, At the old Normal School in Farmville. But when arrived the day of days, Bach face did shine like to sun rays, At the Normal, oh the Normal. Each gladsome parent viewed his child With looks of pride, yet passing mild, At the old Normal School in Farmville. But for time fails me I would dwell On the virtues of each damsel At the Normal, oh the Normal. And now methinks the tale is told, All else the future must unfold. Oh the old Normal School in Farmv Fannie Graham. Class Poem My classmates see, Like unto a band of happy warriors are we, Trained in the use of arms and precepts dear, We leave our camp with naught to fear, Our weapons are the strength and hope of youth, And on our banner is inscribed love and truth ; We understand our duty, and to the same Let us keep faith with steadfastness of aim ! Behind us be sweet mem ' ries of the tender past — But look not backward — stand fast, Forward look and persevere unto the last — Prom good to better, daily, self surpast — Remember we have striven not in vain ! Fair and wide before us lies the plain, And tho we struggle thru mire and over stones, Or stumble blindly on with fear and pain A wretched train, lets turn our failures into glorious gain, For yonder lies the city of our desire Lofty and fair its citadels rise, Well merits it such sacrifice As we shall undertake — Then joyfully let us make A road of the loving heart, Fair and wide from where we start. Then gird thy beauteous limbs in mail. Go thou forth to seek the Holy Grail — Mindful ever of the past, Faithful e ' en unto the last — For it is the King ' s call, list! And with heart and hand keep tryst, Keep tryst ! or die ! Rosalie Antoinette Davis. Be thou the rainbow to the storms of life! The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, And tints tomorrow with prophetic ray! — Bride of Abydos. LAST night 1 went out with a strong tele- scope to see if I could read your fates. While 1 was star gazing 1 heard a thump as if an acorn had fallen, and then a thin, small voice. ' Stop that! hut it was so faint 1 hardly realized 1 had heard it, when again it said, ' Stop that, I say ! and drop- ping the teleseope 1 saw a small weazen figure with the form of youth, hut the visage of old age, with curious search-light eyes. How would you like people prying into your affairs, ' ' he indignantly asked me. Why, I wasn ' t prying — I wasn ' t even thinking about you, : ' I said. Why is it you mortals are so interested in us ? he asked. Well, Mr. Moonshine or Moonbeam, or whatever your name is Mr. Moonbeam, he interrupted, as he bowed with dignity. Well, Mr. Moonbeam, are you not used to prying into our business? 75 If we didn ' t keep alert and manage your lives, you mortals would make a pretty mess of it; as it is, you almost ruin us sometimes, he replied. Yes, ' I assented, mortals are wearisome people, but they are the best I know anything about, and while I know little of them, I must needs prophesy what a hundred and ten girls will be in the days to come, and I sighed with the thought of it. ' ' Pretty nutty problem for a mere mortal. Why it is hard enough to tell what the creatures are going to do five seconds before they do it. But I sup- posed they chose you because you were something of a prophet, ' ' and he laughed at the idea. No, I said, as the strangeness and difficulty of my task came before me. No, it was a little joke they played on me when I wasn ' t looking. Why, I couldn ' t prophesy correctly the answer to a two-figure multiplication example. ' ' I would like to help you, ' ' said he, as his eyes twinkled kindly. ' ' Let me be your answering star just for tonight. I am chief watchman of coming days and love to see human lives unfold their petals and flower into full blossom. Will you ascend with me, and see what will be doing in the days to come? 1 gladly accepted his aid, saying, Will you bring on your fire and brimstone, light me, and blow me into the skies 1 ' ' Not that, he said. You are a little mixed; we don ' t use fire and brimstone up there. He pulled from the folds of his flowing garments a dark, vapory veil, apparently thin but impenetrable, saying, ' ' This is age. I must envelop you in it, and carry you away. ' ' Soon I felt myself floating upward and the earth fast receding from sight and sound. Then feeling the shiver of years rushing over me I saw a moving picture of various scenes covering many years : On the platform of a large auditorium were numbers of girls I had known at the Normal. There were many and various occupations among them. Lucy Williamson and Mary Sterling Smith were instructing a class in gymnastics according to the new rules of bending the head backward to touch the floor, and the useful exercise of lifting the ears. Ruth Campbell was making a specialty of exercises for developing the figure. There was a company of ladies and gentlemen well dressed, well behaved and well appearing. These are the social successes. They disport themselves in the garments made in the latest styles by the latest tailors, Alice Martin and Virginia Atkinson, lately designed by the latest dress architects, Annette Liebman, Ethel Abbitt and Nina Lochridge, and their coiffures were lately dressed and originated by Rubye Keith, Blanche Burks and Macie Henderson. The lecturers on the Bights of Old Maids ' ' were most voluble and elo- quent. The voices of M. D., B. H. D. and A. M. could easily be distinguished, while Ruth Fulton was heard contending that the great issue before the nations of earth was, What provision should be made by law for buttoning us up in the back, ' ' while Anne Woodruff, Ada Bierbower and Clara Nye claimed that the most important question was, Shall men be allowed a voice in public affairs? Amid a flame of color came the artists, Margaret Boatwright, Kathleen Fore, and Eva Larmour, depicting the adventures of Buster Browu, and illus- trating the plots and counterplots of Jeff and Mutt for the art sections of the Sunday newspapers. And among others whose ambitions led them to higher planes of endeavor were Frances Andrews, Natalie Terry and Annie Tignor, who essayed to print portraits of lost lovers, or dearly remembered professors. Among those who hired their talents per diem per page to illustrate romances were, Lillian Burton and Blanche McClintic. The voices of the devotees of song rose on the air and filled all space, and I readily recognized the tones of Antoinette Davis, Wanda Harkrader and Elsie Gay. And I seemed to hear applause of the shades of Batti, Jenny Bind and Trilby. Among the foremost opera stars could be seen the slightly rotund forms of Ruth Harding and Annie Moss, whose voices could easily carry as far as X flat. Some of them received as much remuneration as a thimble full of diamonds for each performance. The little man said to me, They sing all sorts of sentiments with their lips, but the continuous song in their hearts is this : Six score song birds to be baked in a pie. When the pie is opened, what will they sing? 1 ' It sure must be time for a wedding ring. ' ' A number of familiar forms, Jennie Wilson, Florence Buford and Mattie Ould crossed the stage with the stride of Marathon athletes, garbed in the fashion of many countries. They were recognized as the globe trotters, always wishing they were where they are not, and moving to compass land and sea ; they believe in and act upon the old saying. How much a dunce that has been used to roam Excels a dunce that has been kept at home! and so thev are a much-traveled set. 1 At the rear of this group came Fletcher Bailey and Virgilia Bugg, who had put forth Hurculean energies and succeeded in circumnavigating the environs of Farmville under the leadership of Miss Blackiston. Amid strange scenes of barbarian villages I recognized Florence Boston, Emily Minnigerode and Josephine Burnett as devoted Y. W. C. A. missionaries, carrying the message of civilization to the uncouth inhabitants of Greenland ' s icy mountains and India ' s coral strands. ' ' Suiting the action to the words, the words to the action, the footlight stars, Frances Graham and Josephine Allison, drew at will from their large audience, tears or laughter. In form and pressure did they so truly mirror nature that Shakespeare ' s soul must have glowed with approval. At a table surrounded by books and papers, with a fixed expression of profound thought on their brows, sat Mary Eggleston and Minnie Butler. At another table, equally thoughtful, and writing as if there were no anti-speed laws, sat Etta Bailey, Kerah Cole and Sallie Hargrave. They were endeavoring to make spelling easy for those who write, and writing easy for those who read. Seated in the most correct writing position and forming each letter per- fectly, was the earnest figure of a man preparing manuscript for his great work, Observations and Advice on Modern Flirtations. In this hall of silence were seated also Margaret Godbey, Willie Guthrie and Parke Morris, writing and sketching articles for the leading magazine of the day, The Focus. And Winnie Hiner, Ruth Garnett and Preston Ambler were writing educational and scientific books. Within a large gilt frame hung upon a front wall was emblazoned this motto by which all the writers sought to be guided, No, never write nothin ' Without you ' re compelled to; And then don ' t say nothin ' That you can be held to. Those whose genius enabled them to write a great deal in generalities without meaning anything in particular, were the most successful. On a large placard the Farmville Educational and Publishing Company made announcement that the following books had been the best sellers of the current year : The Educational Value of Bluff, by Evelyn Turnbull. The Golden Virtue of Silence, by Julia Rollins. lliilll Chapel Cuts and How to Practice Them, by Wallace Moir. ' ' Charms of a Professor, ' ' by Laura Castleman. A pensive, cheerless, sodden-faced company now appeared. They are the Bores. They are those who waste their own time and that which belongs to their friends, if any friends they have. They are habitually guilty of grand larceny in stealing time. They have no use for time, and time has no need of them. Though there are optimists and pessimists among them, th ey all unite in the pessimistic view that, When we have made our love and gamed our gaming Dressed, noted shape and maybe something more; With dandies dined, heard senators declaiming, There ' s little left but to be bored, or bore. But there is no need to say more of these unfortunate creatures, for while they were exceedingly numerous and of all ages, I could not discover a familiar face among them. I ' m sure I never met one of them at the Parmville Normal. Here the little man took on a serious and knowing air and said impressively to me : Though you have seen people of many minds and tastes, bent on differing lines of work, having apparently no connection one with another, yet each is an essential part of the human family. Though they know it not in a true sense, yet each one ' s endeavor is but a means to an end unseen, and is influenc- ing and directing human progress to its final fruition. They are all furnishing their respective contributions to the common stock of the recreation and education of society, and are builders and conservers of the progressive citizenship of a great Commonwealth, which itself is no mean constituent of one of the greatest countries on earth. And on each one I gladly and reverently breathe this benediction : And be thou blest with all that Heaven can send ; Long health, long youth, long pleasure, and — a friend.

The Sea and the Shell ( NCE hundreds of years ago, before the world was peopled, the Sea fell in love with a beautiful white Shell that lived on the shore. Gently and softly the Sea wooed the Shell. When he would whisper words of love, she would blush a beautiful pink. She looked so beautiful thus, that he could not resist kissing her. Then the Shell pretended to be angry ; but she only pretended, for she really liked it very much. The Sea knew that she liked it, but to tease her, he would laughingly run away, but not for far. And so for many years these two lovers lived happily in their love. One day the Wind chanced to pass by, and when he saw the beauty of the Shell, he, too, fell in love with her. Down from his home in the clouds he came. Fondly and passionately he told of his love for her and begged her to come live with him in the clouds. This frightened the little Shell for she had never thought of leaving her home. She did not want to go up in the clouds far from her lover, the Sea. So she told the Wind, no. ' ' The Wind sulked away, but he did not give up hope. He returned often and would bring sweet perfumes from the south. He told her of the wondrous things he had seen in distent lands, of his beautiful home in the clouds, and if she would only come and live with him, she, too, should see those enchanted lands. The Sea told her of the home he had built for her deep down in his heart, all lined with the most choice sea flowers, of the mermaids that would sing to her ; all the gems of the deep he promised her if only she would come with him. For many years did both these lovers woo her, but she was constant to her first love. Yet though she loved the Sea, she could not make up her mind to leave her home on the shore for a new home all unknown to her. One day when the Wind was leaving her, he looked back and saw the Sea kissing her. This was too much for him. With a cry of fury he turned and rushed upon the Sea, declaring that he would stand it no longer, and that by force he would carry her away with him. He folded his arms about her and tried to lift her up into the clouds. The poor little Shell turned pale from fright and cried to the Sea to save her and take her with him deep down into his home far from the cruel Wind. Then began one of the greatest struggles the world has ever witnessed. For days they fought, and the little birds who had sung for the happy lovers, flew 95 with cries of alarm far inland, and none but the bravest have ever returned, and they tell of that weird, awful fight. At last the Sea clasped the Shell in his strong arms and bore her down to his home in the depths of the ocean. And on a quiet night on the shore you may hear them whispering their love songs. But the Wind has never given up hope, and they still have mighty tights. Sometimes in their fury they wreck ships and many lives are lost, but still they fight for the possession of the Shell. Sometimes the Wind succeeds so far as to drag her from the depth, but she is constant to her first love, the Sea, and if you listen with your ear close to the Shell you can hear her calling — calling for the Sea.

COLD December wind blowing the snow around the street, biting the A faces of pedestrians who dare face it, howling down the chimneys as if to quench the spirit of good fellowship existing between those gathered around the hearths, is screeching and tearing around Hoyt Club. But let the elements rage, that ease following a good dinner and accompanying a spicy Havana, has settled on the group. No such thing as true friendship, Doctor Gary is saying, catching a drift of conversation from across the room. Friendship? Aye, yes, there ' s true friendship in the world. General ! ' ' turning to a white haired gentleman by his side, I said little the other day when our discussion probably justified it. There are some things kept sacred in our memories, but that remark from one still in the prime of life, calls forth from the inmost soul of my being, the remembrance of my awakening to that blessed truth of love December second, forty years ago, and it seems like yesterday, was the day of saddest joy of my life. Paradoxical ? No, 1 think not, for it proved to me, contrary to young Curry ' s doctrines over there, that a true friend is a friend forever, though death be the great discloser of the truth. College life was just opening for me with its multiplicity of detail. Happy days they were, and friends many. There was one among the men who was honored, loved, and revered by all who knew him. Praised and followed too, and worthy was he. Perhaps it was the general praise accorded Fairfax by the students that first attracted me to him, but later I knew the attraction was in the man himself, and soon I had the joy of feeling whatever a speaking acquaintance with a truly noble man could mean to a young, reckless and impetuous fellow. As the months passed our friendship grew. He was all that a most exacting hero worshiper could demand of his hero, and I pray God the world may see more men like Gordon Fairfax. Those were the happiest days of my life. Those days when a word from him in reprimand would have made me grovel in the dust, or a word of praise raise me to worlds of bliss. I was young then, and impetuous. There was temptation, and I fell. True it was not a great fall, but great enough to turn the sentiment of the whole school against me, the tide of which sentiment, I firmly believed Fairfax could sway. Among other relationships which he bore to me. was that of Father Confessor. Immediately I went to him, confessed my fault, and stood waiting for his ' absolvo te, ' but no, a pained expression and, boy, you ' ll have to take your medicine. It ' s bitter, I know, but it ' s for your honor and mine. I can ' t help you. ' ' I waited for no more. Such things travel swiftly, and I knew it would be all over school by the end of the day. Fairfax could have hushed it up, and he wouldn ' t. What sort of a friend was he? I had been fooled — utterly fooled. I became reckless. I cared for nothing and nobody. Fairfax might go to . Fool that I was to have told him. All this I thought in these wild, black moments, little realizing the fight my hero was battling with himself. Should he let me suffer and possibly learn a lesson I would never forget, or go free only to err again? He had decided. The fire burns low. The group has widened as gradually one by one, the younger men have gathered, drawn as if by a magnetic current. There is stillness as the voice goes on. The chemical laboratories at college were separated from the main building, being in a remote part of the grounds. Over the laboratories were two rooms much coveted and sought after, as they commanded a beautiful view of the river and campus. Here one felt that he could be secure from disturb- ance if a hard test was on. One of the instructors and I had that year secured these rooms. During those days of despondency and gloom my secluded abode was a solace to me, as the days dragged along and finally passed away. I had the burden of my own wrong doing in gloom and despondency aloof from all. Thanksgiving was over and the boys were all counting the days that still remained before Christmas. December second came around. Instructor Harris who, as I have said, shared the turret rooms with me, had left that day and I was the sole occupant of the building. That night I turned in early. If I had known as I knew later, what disaster the careless leaving of chemicals around could cause, I would not have gone to sleep without a visit to the lower floors. So my sleep was undisturbed, the far off smell of smoke not reaching me. The building must have been burning some time before fire was dis- covered. The cry of fire did not awaken me, but gradually my benumbed senses became aroused. Oppressive smoke filled the room. I sprang from the bed and dashed to the door, only to face the horrible realization of the broken knob. The hook that had served as a temporary substitute — where was it? Gazing wildly about. I suddenly realized that I was locked in with no means of getting the door opened except from the outside. I rushed to the window, a dizzy height from the ground. I could not jump. Below was a sea of faces scarcely distinguishable through the smoke and flames. The latter were lapping the sides of the building menacingly drawing ever nearer. Suddenly one face was turned my way. lie looked — saw. With a horrified exclamation he pointed and fixed the attention of the crowd upon me. I saw him turn toward the burning building and I knew I was saved. ' ' Black smoke, unconsciousness ! I was partially recalled to my senses by being dragged across the floor. Some one was saying, ' brace up, old chap, we ' ll get out. Here swing on to this rope. ' In a half dazed way I obeyed and began the perilous descent. Within ten feet of safety, the rope, or cord, snapped, and I dropped to the sod below, unhurt. Eager hands were waiting for me, but as they realized 1 was unhurt, came the thought of Fairfax. He would have to come back the way he had gone up. I looked, and he was no longer at the window. Evidently he had given up all hope of escape that way. Frantically I watched, but in vain, for him to appear at the entrance, which was fast becoming a prey to the flames. Three long halls and as many flights of stairs ! He could not be any further Ithan the second. ' Oh God, give him speed! was the prayer I sent up. The awful cry ' the roof! ' went up from the agonized throng. The walls were falling in and the stairways too. A deafening crash of falling timbers, a fresh, awful glare. No hope, no hope. Another crash and I looked into a roaring sea of flames for that which was not. A thousand throats spoke silence, and a still small voice was whispering: ' Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend.

Half asleep, the kingdom below stirred itself, rubbed its eyes and then seeing the morning breaking in the white east, thought of the duties of the day and straightway rose to perform them. Across the wet meadow gray figures went milking. A feeble curl of smoke awakened in the chimney along with the smell of coffee and frying bacon. Uncle Silas from his seat on the bench besides the kitchen door eyed the east ominously. Hump, he prophesied, with his lip between his toothless gums, peers like its going ter be a scorcher. That there sun ain ' t coming up to git warm; if I an ' t mistaken, he ' s goin ' ter do some warmin ' hisself. He slowty turned his gaze down the road where the dust lay in powdery waves waiting for the least jar to change it into yellow smoke that it might stick into the eyes and throats of the cart behind. Down the road a piece a none too friendly hired horse was sending spirts of dust into the face of his rider. Already it lay in ' the creases of his blue coat and along the brim of his hat. Ever since the blue haze had begun to rise he had been traveling along that endless road, and he had seen, too, the sun suck in that same haze until th e mountains now stood grimly blue as if already girded for a fiery day. Get up! The reins flapped against the brown neck lazily. The steed cocked one eye toward the dust laden bushes by the side of the road, stood stock still and then swerved fantastically around. An old fool is the biggest — , the disgusted rider jerked out, but just then a yellow head and round eyes peered out of the bushes and cut short his remark. ' ' Hello, ' ' the man called out genially, for he was glad even to see a small red head, bush hallowed, in this folk forsaken country. The eyes regarded him solemnly and the mouth remained shut. What are you doing? Still no answer. Been milking. ' The head moved up and down. ' ' Going home ? he added, pointing in the way he was traveling. Yep. Delighted with this he ventured further, remembering his breakfastless condition. Don ' t you want a lift? Slowly the bushes parted and the bushman came out. He wiggled one foot forward in the thick dust and then the other, while he dug his hands down into his once blue jeans. Finally after much wiggling he reached the horse and looked up. Put your hand up 1 1 here and you foot on mine. Hump, I know how to get on a hoss, and witli a quick bound he landed up behind. They started again down the road. The following dialogue took place : Man — Where do you live? Hoy — Down the road a piece. Man — Reckon I could get breakfast there? Boy — ' ' Don ' t know. Silence awhile. Hoy — What ' s you doin ' up heah ? Man — Why-er-, I ' m going out hunting. Boy — ' ' Whar ' s your gun ? ' ' Man — 0, I have it in my pocket. Boy — Plump, that ain ' t no gun. Man — Yes it is, I ' ll show you how it works when we get to your house. No response. After a time the road turned sharply, bringing into view a log and bark cabin, the long sloping roof of which met the top of the window, making it look like an eye with the hair drawn down over the brows. Dozing on a bench in the sun sat an old man with feet crossed and hands stuck in his pockets. Thar ' s my house, the boy ejaculated. Long ez you is jest a hunter, I guess you kin come in. ' ' Grand-pap ! Come heah and take this gintleman ' s hoss. Just come on in, Mister. So this was the master of the house. My name is Warren, what is your ' s? Tom. the boy answered and strutted toward the low-pitched door. As they drew- nearer the door Warren could see a woman moving quietly- about — a typical mountain woman — silent and quick. He was about to speak to the boy, when as if drawn by a magnet, his eyes lighted upon a flask tucked half way under the log which served as a door step. Liquor — and the white fire of the mountain, too. Ma, the boy broke in, this heah giutleman air hungry, can ' t you fix him somethin ' to eat? The figure in calico spun around questioningly. He air a hunter, ' ' the boy answered. In a few minutes Jack Warren was seated at a pine table with corn cake and bacon dripping with grease before him. When he asked the others to join him, the woman shook her head and the boy said, they had done et. Conversation was impossible. The member of the inferior sex busied her- self about the dark room, while the boy in the presence of his woman folk re- mained with closed mouth. Thus the meal was eaten in silence. 148 Somebody was coming around the house. Voices could be heard. Voices were heard now high, now earnestly low. The woman moved quickly to the door and the boy rose alertly, but too late to warn the voices. Warren heard. Yep, and they say there ' s as officer up heah. He ' ll never find Old John ' s Mill, not up Hawkville Run no way. Bhie coats ain ' t welcome ' bout heah, this climate always makes them sick. Thar ' s old Silas down yonder. He ' 11 know where that rake is. ' ' Ah ! Warren finished his meal quickly and thanked his unresponsive enter- tainers. He could tell relations and hospitality were strained. Guess I ' ll get my horse and ride around to get a notion where game is. Know of any place, Tom? ' ' They is plenty of fish in the creeks, and the woods is full of things. ' ' ' ' Thank you, and I guess I won ' t be back before night. ' ' He took his horse, and leaving the woman standing in the door strode off toward the road. Tom from his seat on the fence remarked disgustedly, And he ain ' t showed me his gun nuther. ' ' Silas ' s prophecy was correct. The heat poured down upon every living thing. The white path wound round and round, snake-wise up the mountain- side. Sometimes it was covered over with solid rock so that the horse felt cautiously for a foot hold; now it looked down dizzy heights where seemingly within a stone ' s thrown the cabin nestled lovingly against the mountainside. Down poured the heat upon the drooping earth. Unbearable ! Warren wondered why he could have possibly come up here. His heated brain seemed numb. He only wondered. If he had walked in the office five minutes after Ramond did. Ramond would be enduring the tortures of the damned while he — fate ! In such a manner are the big issues of one ' s life decided. His horse stood now with lolling tongue over one of those frequent cliffs. Warren mopped his streaming face and shook his coat across his saddle. Fate ! a twig snapped in the silence of the heat. It might have been a pistol. Warren swung around. As silent as the tree against which she leaned, features set between fierce anger and timidity, she watched him. Can you tell me if this bewildering maze of white paths leads anywhere — I mean is this the way up to Hawkville Run? he added. The girl stood as before eyeing him — blue clothes and all. What do you want up here? she questioned soberly. Why-er-I want to go hunting. The silence which followed said plainer than words that he had not fooled this girl. She had not moved, one foot was raised on toe as if she was about to step down from the tree root, one round arm about the tree to aid her, but the wonderful dark eyes under her rebellious hair read him as a book. 149 Peering around a moment and listening, she stepped down swiftly and put one hand on the horse ' s head. Looking straight up into his face she said, I don ' t care; they ' ve made me mad down there, pointing down to the cabin far below. They wanted me to marry Dave — he ' s my cousin — and I won ' t — won ' t. I don ' t like Dave. I know what you ' re up to, ' ' she went on more quietly, ' ' but they do too — down there. In a little while, as soon as everybody gets the word, they ' s going to start out up to Hawkville and get you. I don ' t s ' pose you know, but they always get revenue officers up here. You are on the right path, but Lor, you ' 11 wish you hadn ' t been. How many men are there, Warren asked. About ten J guess, counting Old John, who ' s already up at the shed. ' ' Have you ever been there ? ' ' 0 Yes. Is it thickly wooded so that a man could hold the place against nine providing the tenth was tied? If Old John was tied good and hard, the girl answered plainly, I ' d make off and take the chances of being caught up with. The folks ' 11 get there before you do unless you take the cut. ' ' Could you tell me the way ? ' ' The girl shook her head, No, nobody could. You jest have to learn. The man looked intently down on the cabins below. He could not go back now after being intrusted with a mission like this. He must find the cut. The girl put her hand shyly on his sleeve. I ' ll show you the cut. He turned quickly, but stopped. What would they do to you if they found out — down there? The girl stopped too, and gazing down shuddered. 1 — 1 won ' t get caught. I don ' t care, she went on recklessly, they took me away from Miss Ellen at the mission — to marry that Dave. Yes, I ' 11 show you the way, and drawing herself up as straight as a young willow she turned back into what seemed nothing but woods. Warren dismounted and, throwing his reins over his arm, followed her. My name is Jean, she threw back at him, ' ' but you had better not talk, they might catch up and hear. ' ' The couple passed quickly on now up a dry creek bed high up over the kettle which lay hot and still in the sun of noon. The girl flitted on over rock and fallen log, wood creature that she was, and Warren breathlessly followed. They were nearing the edge of a clearing now. It ran back to where two hills seemed to come together, divided by a creek which even then he noticed was white with foam. Through the piny green he could see the gray outlines of the shed. 150 Skirting around the clearing and thus keeping well hidden by the woods, they reached the distillery unnoticed. Turning around for the first time since they had left the road the girl said, I ' ll watch here on the side of the woods while you go in and get Old John. If you can arrest him and get him out before the rest come, you can go right on down the creek. That ' ll throw them off, and it will get you to the foot of the mountain even quicker than by the cut. ' ' She turned about to her post and Warren, with drawn pistol pushed open the door so quickly that the alert old figure, with back turned toward him, did not hear, but stood watching the white smoke from the white fire. A quick throw, a click of handcuffs, the cold steel of a pistol muzzle against the flesh and the old mountain lion was trapped. ' ' Quick, quick ! ' ' came from the door, ' ' I think I see them on the other side of the clearing, they ' re turning to the left, you take to the creek on the right. Go! Hurry! Tying a handkerchief across Old John ' s mouth, Warren pointed to the door. With blazing helpless eyes the old man stumbled out. Come on, Warren muttered to the girl. No, no, breathed the girl in gasps, I can ' t go with you. Hurry, hurry from me! What made me — they ' re my folks in spite of Miss Ellen and Dave. They ' ll kill me now, 1 won ' t care, they ought to. And with feverish haste and calm face the girl went in the open door aud closed it. Warren gasped, hesitated, then turning pushed his charge ahead, down, down the white foamed creek, which rushing and shrieking, beat a wild rythm into his brain. Fate. The town of C relates with pride the story of a certain capture of the worst moonshiner in the Ragged Mountains, Old John, you know, by a certain revenue officer whom it counts among its citizens. Strange, very strange, that being such an extraordinarily capable one he should have resigned, and says without apparent reason he will never undertake another commission.

O. HOPPE AND OTHERS An Expert in Photography says of this Book : The scope of this book is very broad, making it an ideal, authoritative, work- ing handbook for the camerist who wishes to excel. The scientific side of the sub- ject is particularly well handled; there is a good reason for every operation met in practical work, and an answer for every question likely to arise in the camerist ' s mind, yet neither the reason nor the answer is too technical for average com- prehension. Any camerist may well take this book for his bible and follow its teachings implicitly, for the advice, and particularly the formulae, of which there are many, are accurate and of the best, for they are the result of long experience at the hands of experts.
