I also hope it will be fortunate enough to have teachers as good as it has had for the last four years. My desire is that this school may never shut its doors, but keep them open to the future. May there be improvements made which will attract young people of ability from other towns. I should like to see a gymnasium built here, because it would both attract and benefit students. I hope tha.t additional courses will be put into the school. as it would give the students more chance to specialize. In short, I hope that the school will grow in members and facilities. Atfsrix Davis, '28, GIFTS OF THE CLASS OF 1927 In behalf of the members of McKinley High School, I wish to thank the class of 1927, who left the balance of their graduation money in the school for improvements. XVith this money we bought reference books for the library. These books have been very beneficial to us, as they contain valuable information dealing with subjects under each course. : NVe appreciate these gifts very much and again wish to extend our sincere thanks to the class of 1927. Mn.mufn fiRlilCNli, 'r2S. SPORTSMANSHIP Sportsmanship is needed in every walk of lifeg in all professions, in all business, and in all sports. There are many ways to make a good sportsman. First, a person has to be able to take defeat and take it cheerfully. It does no good to grumble if things turn out differently than was expected. just take it as cheerfully as possible, and you will feel better and make others about you feel the same way. Secondly, agood sport is able to control his temper. I-Ie does not T I-I If G A T I-I E R E If 5 get angry it the game is not coming his way. He smiles and makes the best of it. ' Another virtue of a good sportsman is honesty. A dishonest person is thought little of and has no real friend. He can never win in sports or in the game of life. Let us try. schoolmates, to achieve all three things. ability to take defeat, to control our tempers and to be honest. lf we do these things we are sure of victory. YIERA liA'roN, 738. AMBITION . Ambition is one of the most valuable characteristics to own, lt is sadly true that the highest ambition of some pupils seems to be to reach an age at which they do not have to go to school. The majority of girls and boys, however. go to school because they are ambitious and want to be able to do something worthwhile. In athletics each one tries to do a little better than another. liach pupil tries to get a little higher rank than someone else. Some have more school spirit than others. All show the ambition of those who strive to do best. Victory makes one wish to strive for something bigger and better. lf one loses and tries over again it shows that ambition. which later may lead to Success. .XNNII-: Sco'1 r, '25l. SCHOOL SPIRIT 'l'hroughout our high school career we should ever be thinkingot what we may do to increase our school spirit. X'Yhen asked to assist in any activities we should always answer with a ready YES The person of this type is very popular with both teachers and pupils. As you look at the objectors, you often think how much happier their school life would be if they were willing workers. fy IQOIIIERT IZIQYANT, 128. 1 A WORD FROM SUNSET As I was walking along a brook one day, I sent forth a long and weary sigh Because that little brook made nic tliink i Ot' crossing the Mill Dam to old Mcliinley High. A , VV,x1.'l'1.:1: Sco'r'r, 'liljaq OUR ADVERTISERS ' ' As we, the seniors of McKinley High School. set about to make our year book, THE t,hx'l'nfrI-:min-tlie best yet, we hope-we immediately think of the advertisers who have helped in the past to make this book such a great success. . They have made us feel that they a1'e interested and anxious to help us in our efforts to improve rliflli f3A'l'IIl'IRIiR. .If it were not for these ads and the many XVishes for a suc- cessful yearf' which we receive from our advertisers. the outlook at times would seem rather dark for us. A lt is. therefore, with pleasure that we take this opportunity to thank those who have so kindly helped to make the 1928 issue of THE f,iA'l'HlERER a success. ' ' Mmnieicn Gxua15N1i, '28, 6 THE G.-ITHERER THE VALUE OF TEA PARTIES I suppose I do not care for these Tea Parties any more than you do, but I do think they are of great value to both the student and the teacher because they cause the former to exercise and develop the mind. and give the latter an opportunity to judge the student's work. To plan for one of these parties or examinations, it is necessary for the student to make a thorough review of the work which has been taken up during the 'half-term, or may be a still longer period. This will bring the material learned back to his mind again. These tea parties are of great value to the teacher, because it is the best method by which a teacher may find out how much a student has gained in his work. They are more effective than oral review, be- cause' they give every pupil an opportunity to answer .every question or to write upon every topic. Although they are very unpleasant for the students, examinations are essential and necessary to the school system. ALfs'r1N DAVIS, '2S. THE GATHERERU Oncefa year McKinley High School publishes an issue of 'IIIAIE GATHERISR. ' This issue represents a very successful school year. lt is due to the assistance of Mr. Milan, Principal, Miss Small Assistant, and Miss Morey, Commercial teacher, that the publication of the paper has been made possible. Our paper has been supported by our many adver- tisers, to whom we are very grateful. It is our aim to make each issue of THE GA'1'HliREli better than the previous one. The school spirit which prevails in M. H. S. is a deciding factor in this respect. If this spirit continues, we believe our paper will equal any pub- lished by any school of our size in the state.. VIOLA :NLLENQ ,2S. SCHOOL SPIRIT VVe hear people talk about School Spirit, or the lack of it. How many of us have shown school spirit during the last few weeks? VVe are all members of the school, but do we attend school every day and stand behind the school activities that are planned? The burden usually falls on a few. VVhy not help plan school activities and try to make them a success? A school where enthusiasm is shown will always have an ever- lasting impression on each member. Our opportunity is so great, why do we let it pass-the one where we have a chance to work and plan for the future school life? Each member should bring more than his or her presence into school, he must put interest and thoughts into school life. Not until this is done will we get the school enthusiasm that is necessary in ELECTA EATON, '28. every school.

Miss Morey, and Mr. Milan, whom we have been very fortunate to have with us throughout our high school career. As I look back on our freslunan year I can picture fifteen timid freshmen. slipping cautiously by the upper classmen and taking front seats. At the Freshman Reception, which was given us by the sopho- mores, we lear.ned what was expected of ns by the upper classmen. This year slipped by very quickly, and after a short vacation we returned as sophomores with our spirits high in anticipating that this year it was up to us to initiate our successors. As the year advanced we were sorry to lose several of our loyal members. Because of the very smalluclass we were all obliged to take part in the recital. The prizes of this recital were awarded to Vivian VVeed and Mildred Joyce. Again we returned to dear old McKinley, this time as eight jolly juniors. As we all felt very ambitious. we decided to give a play, The Prince of Liars, which proved to be a great success. As the time drew near when we should lose the members of the class of 1927. we gave them a farewell reception in the form of a play entitled, The Returning of Rosaliaf' Thisyear, as each class assembled. we had that haughty feeling common to all dignified seniors.. E Wie now look back over these four years and think of the ad- vantages our parents and teachers have given us and wonder if we have made as much of them as we might have. This is our busiest and most interesting year. Wie have hoped to make our graduation and 'lilili GA'l'l1I2Rl2R a success and have. there- fore, worked to the best of our ability for them both. Even though our class has decreased in number since our fresh- man year, we feel that it has increased in knowledge. ' RIILDRED A.

According to custom 'we selected our seats at the front of the room. Our teachers were Nr. Milan, Principal, Miss Small, English teacher, and Miss Morey, Commercial teacher. VVe were soon invited to a Reception given by the sophomores. We were somewhat frightened, but we had a good time in spite of our hazing. In the first term we were very sorry to lose George Pickering, Dorothy Powers, Flora Ellis. and Hilda Eaton. NVe enjoyed our studies although at times they were difficult, and we got along well with our teachers. In the spring term we lost George Lufkin and Clifford Joyce. H Our first year ended with Final examinations, in which we all tried hard for high rank. The next year found us again back at McKinley High School, but thistime as sophomores. Wie were very glad to find our same teachers with us again. - We lost one classmate, Guy Eaton, but in his place gained one, Laurent Haskell, making our class an even dozen in number. It was this year our turn to give the freshmen a reception. In spite of the initiations received by them, we felt that all had a good time. . VVe again lost two of our classmates, Elwood Eaton and Laurent Haskell, but we were glad to learn that they were continuing their work in other schools. Lillian Eaton, another classmate, left us in the spring. This year came the most exciting part of our school career, the Sophomore Recital, which took place May 27th. The first prize was awarded to Marion Cole' and the second to Catherine Thompson. This year we returned to McKinley High School as juniors with the same teachers. We were very glad to have Laurent Haskell with us again, mak- ing our, class number eleven. In turn 'we were very sorry to lose Elliott Annis, who left us in the fall term, and Vera Marshall, who left in the winter term. This year it falls to our class to give the Town Meeting Play and the Junior Reception. VVe hope in both to do credit to our class and our school. Thus we have spent three memorable years as students of McKinley High School. - IWARION Coma, '29, , ' X- opnoyggrq 'i 'c U U7 v. B- CU .- A 5 li : Q CJ S- Sf' ..-I 4 uf Lu ul S ..

There were sixteen of us. The upper elassmen gladly allowed us to occupy the front seats. The First day we selected our courses. Six of us took the English Course and the others took the Commercial Course. The sophomores were eager to give us a reception. so that event occurred on the following Monday in the Town Hall. Wve were very frightened when we went in. hnt we soon got over it. .X very good time was reported hy all of the school. XVe were getting along in our studies very wellg then we lost three of our classmates. Carolyn Banks went to Brighton, Mass., to attend sehoolg Thomas Eastman left. and later Martin Eaton went to Stonington High School.

We were greeted at once by members ofthe upper classes, who helped us to select our seats. XVe were made to feel quite at home by our teachers, Mr. Milan, Miss Morey and Miss Small. We were' soon invited to a Freshman Reception, given by the sophomores, about two weeks after our entering school. VVe, having heard rumors of paddling, initiation, and such things, were very timid at first, but we soon overcame our fears and enjoyed the evening very much. Such stunts as we had to do added to our pleasure. Thus we were taken into the family of McKinley High School. Everything has gone well in our class since then. We have lost four of our members: Audrey Annis, Blanche Rogers, Beatrice Damon, and Carlton Damon, but we have gained one new one, VVa1ter Scott, whom we welcomed into our class. Our studies are very interesting and we are all working hard with the prospects of becoming sophomores next year. Now, classmates dear, let us' strive on and work faithfully for dear McKinley High School. IZORA JOYCE, '3 1. N .,.. o .... I I ' V 11- lllllfHl 'U F1 F !Il mlI'lMl1 ' KUJIHH W I 1 1?

VVe feel that all of the Alumni are our true friends. They are ever ready to lend us a helping hand in all our activities. The banquet given june 3d, by the association in honor of the class of 1927. Awas very well attended. In fact, it was the largest at- tendance for several years. The officers chosen at this time were: President-fMrs. Laurence Pickering. Vice-President-Mrs. Leon Weecl. - Secretary and Treasurer-Mars. Roy Snowden. The Alumni gave a dance town meeting night after the Junior play. This dance was a decided success and netted the Alumni a profit of thirty-one dollars and fifty cents. Due to lack of space in THE GATHERER. this year, it has been de- cided to put in only that part of the Alumni list of whom we have learned something new and important. 1905-Katherine McVeigh CScottD has a son in the Freshman class in McKinley High School, Sunset. 1906-Linwood Alberta Pickering- is head of a department in Dennison Manufactur- ' ing Company, Framingham, Mass. 1907-Myrtle Dellis Stinson CConaryl, teaching, Deer Isle, has a daughter in the Freshman class in McKinley High School. 1910-Agnes Greenlaw QI-Iardyj, Deer Isle, is teaching.

In the room there was a piano. three or four easy chairs. a radio. a couch, and in the middle of the room was a large table. There was a large Hreplace also. Un one side of the room opened a door leading to a bedroom. on the other side another door leading to the hall. In the fireplace a. tire was burning brightly, dancing and crack- ling merrily. A gasoline lamp. setting on the table. was burning brightly. Everything remained quiet inside except the clock, which ticked patiently onward. Outside the wind howled around the corners. whirling the snow. which was falling thick and fast. around and around, dropping it there to form large snowdrifts. Before the tire two girls. .Helen Cameron and her friend Grace. sat in large easy chairs reading. Oh, My! Helen. this is an awful storm and it is getting pretty boisterous now. said Grace, laying aside her book. An hour ago it was just spitting snow, but now- I know it.

AT'he closet door was part way open, and something white was standing right near the door. , Helen screamed and fled. while Grace stood right still for a sec- ond, then followed Helen. The clock chimed out the hours nine-thirty and ten. Helen dozed off. After making sure Helen was asleep, Grace ventured into the bedroom again. She pushed open the closet door, and there stood the white thing in the same place. She went into the closet and the ghost remained silent. Tap- Tap-Tap. It was right near her. She moved a small wooden box which was on the shelf. Snap! The cover sprang open and shut again, all in a minute. Something jumped at Grace. She tainted. All this commotion aroused Helen, who soon found Grace lying on the closet Hoor. She brought her too 'after some minutes of trial.

The thing that frightened me was-well it-it was a mouse. The rest of the night passed in peace. MARION Coma, BSL A HALLOWEEN TRICK A number of years' ago there lived in a small town two women whose names were Bliss Herman and Miss Redfield. They had not spoken to each other for twenty-five years. Their houses stood on opposite sides of the street. ' ' One I-lallowe'en night as a group of mischievous boys were pass- ing Miss Herman's house one of them suddenly stopped the others by exclaiming, I have thought of one of the best tricks ever! They all JMWA, , , , 34 THE GATHERER crowded around him and this was the plan which he gave them: One of them was to creep up to Miss Herman's piazza and take the chair in which she often sat when the weather was pleasant, carry it across the street and leave it on Miss RedF1eld's piazza. Everyone approved of this plan. but it was decided that they had better wait until both women had retired for the night. . Soon both houses were dark and the leader, the most daring boy, crept toward the house while the others hid behind a lilac bush nearby. The chair was safely transferred from one piazza to the other and the boys went home feeling very happy and contented. The next morning when Miss Herman discovered that her chair was gone and later saw it on Miss Redlield's piazza, she told everyone who passed that her neighbor had stolen it. Still she would not go after it or speak to Miss Redfield about it. who was also determined to make her enemy ask her to return it. Everyone who passed the houses looked at the chair and smiled. So the chair stayed there for nearly a month until quite suddenly Miss Redfield, to whom it had become an eyesore. brought it out as far as the sidewalk. She did this at a very late hour so that no one would see her. Miss Herman, who arose very early in the morning, saw the chair and went after it., Some other early risers saw the chair in its ac- customed place, and the news spread that Miss Herman had her chair back. Miss Herman still thinks her neighbor stole the chai-r, and Miss Redfield thinks that it was a mean trick to get her to speak. It is a standing joke among the people who ever heard of it. EM ILY PICKERING, 231. LINCOLN PRIZE ESSAY Abraham Lincoln, the .nineteenth president of the United States. was born in a log cabin in Hardin County. Kentucky, February 12. 1809. Wheli but a small boy Abe, as he was called, gained the love of all his neighbors because of his willingness to help them in their family difhculties. At the age of seventeen he had reached the actual height of six feet and four inches. He was still very restless and anxious to find work. After holding one position, it was very easy for him to 'obtain another, because of his great honesty and pleasing personality. Lincoln did not spend his time loating as the other boys of his age did. He was anxious to' get ahead andto make a name for himself. At the age of twenty-three he served as captain in the Black Hawk war. Because of his faithful services at this time. he was praised and urged on to higher undertakings by great men who had P once taken the same path which Lincoln was now taking. Tl! If tl.-I THERE R 35 Wfhile in Illinois practising law, he and Douglas were compared as to their ability to hold the position in the senate. Douglas was chosen, but this did not discourage Lincoln, for he kept on in his efforts to reach even a greater goal. Lincoln never forgot the loving care and kind words his step- mother lavished on him. He once said to a very dear friend, All that l am, or ever hope to be, l owe to my angel mother. . ln 1860 Lincoln became president. the honor for which he had been striving. His inauguration was received with enthusiasm by his friends and followers, because of his ability and kindness. . The conditions which confronted Lincoln was no easy task, for just at this time war broke out between the North and the South, but as always Lincoln set out with the high purpose in mind, that he must and would succeed. The slaves were freed, and the Union saved. It was but a few nights after the surrender of the South that Lincoln, while attending' a play. was shot by a half-crazed actor, I. Wfilkes Booth. On the following' inorning'. April 15, 1865, with his family and a few of his many friends gathered near him, he quietly passed away. As we read of the eventful life of Abraham Lincoln we feel that no words have the power to express his worth. Lincoln, to us. seems the savior of our country, just as Wiashington was the father and founder. ' , ' lllIl.l5RlCIb A. Glue:-LNIE, '28, SCHOOLDAYS P A blane Norton taught school in a little schoolhouse. She had light curly hair, lovely blue eyes and snowy white teeth that glistened when she laughed. XVith all these pretty features she was very lovely. She boarded through the week with one of the neighbors who lived near the schoolhouse. and went home over the weekend. All of Bliss Norton's pupils but one were very fond of her, as she was not only pretty but a very nice teacher. XVesley Brown, the boy that did not care for the school teacher, came from a rich family. Once he said to some of the boys while in the schoolroom, f'X'Ylien we lived in New York, I never went to school when l didn't feel like it. and the teachers never said anythingg but since we moved here in this dump, one cannot move without being spoken to. l never saw such teaching. 1 The school teacher never complained or let on that she heard, but she knew that the boy-'s family moved to the country because the boy had stolen some property of a man while on the train and they wished to get clear. i, -- A The school had a concert one night which was a great success. and the proceeds were nearly fifty dollars. The money was left in the 36 THE GATHERER schoolroom over one weekend, as the teacher had given it to one of the pupils to take home, but the pupil forgot the money. That Saturday night about midnight XVesley took a flashlight and went to the schoolhouse, opened one of the windows that the janitor had forgotten to lock and stole the fifty dollars. lt was found out the following Monday morning by the teacher. She felt very badly, not so much for the loss of the money, but to think that someone would take it knowing that the school needed all the money they could get. She spoke to the school about it and said she hoped that it wasn't one of them and that they would have to give up all the plans of using the money. That noon when Miss Norton went home to dinner she mentioned it to the woman with whom she was boarding. The woman said, Last night after the Brown family came home in their car from the movies I saw a light in the school- room. but I didn't mention it before for fear it would scare you. That afternoon Mr. Brown came to the schoolhouse and asked the teacher why she accused the pupils of taking the school money. Of course you didn't mean VVesley, by any means, said he, but I didn't know but that it would hurt his feelings. As it made Miss Nor'to.n very angry to have anyone interfere with her business, she had a few words with him and he left as quickly as he came. She went to Mr. l3rown's house that evening and asked what time lNesley was in bed Saturday night. The mother replied that he was in bed at eight o'clock, but one of the boy's little brothers spoke up and said. VVhy, Mama, he went to the movies Saturday night and after he got home he took a Flashlight and went somewhere with it. This gave Miss Norton some proof and later events showed that Wesley' Brown was the guilty one. I -He was expelled from the school as he was of age. and after that his family moved South. A'lYR'l'l.lC G1u2lsNI.A w, '31 1, THE STRANGER It was a very cold winter night when my story takes place. The ground was covered with a sparkling white bed of snow. Only the tops of the fence poles could be seen. All about it was silent save now and then the tinkling of a sleigh bell. ' Inside the house it was warm and cozy, The logs burned brightly in the fireplace and the cat purred contentedly by the kitchen stove. Mary Alden, with her mother and father, lived in this house. Mary was seventeen years old. She was very pretty, and was a pupil at the village high school. It was Saturday so she was at home helping her mother. 5 '1 .,F T H li G .-l TH 15 R E R 37 At three o'clock her father and mother started out with the horse to go to town for the mail. Mary stayed at home to prepare supper. lt was only four miles to the town so they could easily get back before it was very dark. After she had got supper all ready to serve. she sat down to study. Before she realized it. it grew dark, and the old grandfather clock in the hall struck live. She jumped up and ran to the window. It was snowing hard and the windows were banked up so that she could not see the road very distinctly. Then sheiwent to the kitchen and opened the door. A great flurry of snow swept into the room. She sat down by the kitchen stove waiting and watching for the return of her parents. As she knew that they did not have any light with them, she lighted the lantern and started to put it out on the porch. Before she had stepped outside the door, the wind blew it out, and she had to bring it back again. There were not any near neighbors, but they had a telephone. Mary called the village to see how long it had been since her parents had left. She could not get central and a great buzzing on ,the wire told hcr that the wires must have been broken by a tree. It was now six o'clock and everything looked as dark as ever. .Xt seven o'clock Mary was frightened. She tried the telephone again, but with the same results as before. The wind howled around the windows and all was dark and forbidding outside. Still the fire crackled and the Flames danced in joy. Everything seemed mysteri- ous to her because she had never been left alone after dark before. All was silent and then there came a knock at the door. Mary jumped up, her whole body shaking in fear. The knock came again, this time louder than before. She ran to the door and opened it. A young man stood outside. He looked surprised when he saw her, but asked if he might come in and get warm. She hesitated and wondered if she should let him in. He might even be a burglar. but then, she would run the risk., She told him to come in. She took his leather coat and he sat down before the Ere. He asked her if she was alone. No-Yes. 1 am alone. she re- plied. not knowing whether to tell him the truth or not. He looked rather surprised. Oh, yes. he replied. but you don't really live alone. No, my father and mother went to the village at three o'clock. They haven't returned. and I am worried about them. I am sorry. Have you a telephone to call anyone ? She told him about the telephone wires being broken. Then she got him some supper. lNhile he was eating he asked her what her name was. Mary Alden. she replied. He told her his name was John Austin and that he was an aviator. His plane he said was wrecked in that part of the district and he had wandered through the woods until he saw her light. 38 TH li G .-1 T ll Ii R E R just then a faint ring came over the telephone. She ran to an- swer it and her Il1OtllC1'iS voice could be heard very faintly as she told her that they were at Aunt Grace's house and that her father would be home soon if-and then her voice was cut off and Mary heard no more. She was so happy to think they were safe that she cried. The stranger looked out of place and said he guessed he would be going. She stopped crying and said she wanted him to stay all night. He accepted and they sat down by the fire and talked. He told her all about aviation and promised her a trip in his aeroplane as soon as it was repaired again. In an hour her father arrived and she got his supper and dried his clothes. They all sat around the tire until eleven o'clock and lis- tened to the 1'adio. while outside the snow whirled and the wind howled. Diary has now had many rides in the aeroplane and has become quite a11 aviatrix herself. The young aviator is no longer a stranger, although they will never forget his First visit. l'llELliN Kl.xl:s11,xl.1,. 'SQL TOMMY GOES A-FISHING The ocean never was more calm than on that morning in May three years ago. when my story took place. At least Tommy Roberts thought so when he jumped from bed and ran to the window to see what kind of a day it would be. Most normal boys at the age of eleven would not think the day so line if called at four o'clock, but Tommy had a very good reason for this happy mood on this particular morning. He hurried downstairs and ate his breakfast, then he got a pair of his father's old boots, an old frock and said to his father, 1'm ready. Wias Tommy crazy? I guess he was not! He' was.going Fishing with his father, which was the reason why he awoke so early. VVhat healthy boy of eleven wouldn't try to be a man like Pa ? Tommy was not crazy, although he did,not know what was waiting for him before he should reach home again. Out by the many islands they went. until they reached the Hshing grounds. XYouldn't he be proud when he got back to mother. Wfhat a great fisherman he was out there in those great waves. or at least they seemed great to Tommy although it was very calm. Suddenly, as he was paddling with an oar over the side of the boat, he lost his balance and over the side he went. In his mind whales. sharks, and many other creatures seemed to be about him, im- mediately all ready -to swallow him. His father who was busy at the moment of the' accident soon discovered it, and went' to his sonis rescue, which was made by the use of a long-handled boat-hook, and hooked into the seat of Tommy's trousers. fi r I s Q ,1 ,A W is S .1 l 13 I nat?

A NARROW ESCAPE i Ouch I I screamed as I burned my hand on the iron with which I was curling my hair. No more curling irons for me! I'm going to have a permanent wave! I exclaimed to my sister. So straight to the beauty parlor I went that afternoon. I was lcd to a large chair, and an almost fatal chair it proved to be for me. 1 sat down and about six girls all made a dash for my headg it seems to me one would have been suliicient. They took small strands of my hair and began putting little round curlers on them. These curlers had wires on them which extended to an electric light in the top of the room. The wires were tightg if 1 moyed they pulled like a bull dog on the leg of someones trousers. The girls had about half of the curlers on, and we were all talking and I was just beginning to enjoy myself. when someone shouted. Fire I as loud as he could yell. The girls Hed in all directions. leaving me to my fate. I, forget- ting the head-gear. made a dash, and 1 was jerked back very suddenly. I just hung there by the hair of llly head until my feet found the chair again. I was nearly scalped. Suddenly my eyes fell on some scissors, which one of the girls in her hurry had dropped. Oh.,' I thought. instead of roasting alive I will cut my hair ofT. To cnt my hair would mean to cut it almost to the scalp, as the curlers reached nearly to the roots of my hair. l was just reaching for those scissors. my scalp being nearly pulled ot? in the attempt, when every one of those girls came rushing back with the cry, False alarm! lt was only someone playing a joke. , ' CATHERINIQ 'Ill-IOMPSON. 29. I THE RADIO CALL FOR HELP One dark and stormy night when the wind was blowing a sixty- mile gale. and the thermometer registered in the vicinity of twenty below zero, about fifty miles out on the rough and swirling waters was a small tramp steamer far off her course, and leaking quite badly. She was of course equipped with a radio as required by law, but due to her small tonnage she was unable to be equipped- with a set as powerful as should have been necessary when one considers the long Voyages she made. ' A 40 Tll li Ci.-I 'I' ll li lx' li R On shore in a small town called Cherryville. a party was being held, to which a number of young ladies and men had been invited for the purpose of listening to a new radio, of which its owner was very proud as it was the first and best of its kind in this particular town. As it happened one of the young men who were invited to this party was looked upon by his fellow townsmen and friends as a genius. due to the fact that he had managed tu learn the code and build for himself a small but efficient amateur station. The tramp steamer was in bad condition, the captain realized it and was worried. Leaving the bridge he went to the radio room and requested the operator to send out a call for help. The operator told him he would do it immediately. hut due to the fact that one of their antennae condensers was blown down. he would have to send out the signal on a shorter wave than was generally employed by ships. thereby reducing their chance of being heard. This signalling was done for many weary hours. The operator sat at his key and sent forth the well-known characters S-O-S. together with the location of the steamer. its name and call. Vainly he twirled the dials of his receiving set. listening for some reply to his efforts. There were none. As he had said, their wave was one not frequently used and therefore did not produce results. The Captain was in despair. The steamer was leaking faster than the pumps could remove the water. and the craft was getting water-logged. The Captain told his crew that if help did not come inside of a couple of hours. theyfwould leave in the open boats. 1 About an hour later the lookout shouted: Light off starboard-bow coming this way! So it was. lt proved to be a freighter which came close alongside of the stricken vessel and took off its erewg and none too soon. for in less than a half hour the little tramp steamer was in Davy jones' locker. Immediately upon his rescue the radio operator went to the radio room on the freighter and asked the operator why he did not answer his signals. The operator told him he had not heard them. and that no other vessel heard them as far as was known. They were heard. however, he said. by a young amateur who was attending a party and had, while listening to a concert, heard his call for help come butting in. He at once notified the nearest radio station by telephone and they. in turn, had notified the rescuer of the close proximity of the steamer. They had then changed their course and arrived in time for the rescue. So now, my friends, when you hear some code come butting into your radio program, just stop and think for a moment what a won- derful thing radio is to the sailor. i ETHELITA 3lARSIlAI.l., 'ESL l TH I5 G11 'I' H If R I? R 41 UWANDERING JACK? 3 lt was evening. 'l'he men of the l-leath's 'Lumbering Corporation were grouped in the warm bunkhouse after a hard day's work cutting logs. liach man was occupied at some task. ln one corner sat a young man cleaning a gun. Another, was writing home, two more were scanning a newspaper. and some were reading letters which had reached the camp that morning. Four were playing cards in front of the large rock hreplace from which came the mellow glow of the burning logs. Only one. -lack Fraser. was unoccupied. Finding nothing to do he got his hat and' coat from a nail back of the door and went out into the night. ' . l'le walked down toward the lake from whence came the shrill cry of the loon, breaking the reverent stillness of the night. The moon, hidden by a cloud until now, threw its bright rays across the lake. -lack untied a canoe at the edge of the lake and pushed out into the rippling waters. glistening in the bright moonlight. Soon the honking of a flock of geese was heard, and in a short while they landed at the head of the-lake, being vfsible to jack as they passed in the path of the moon. Jack paddled up the lake along the western side, taking in all the scenes of nature. He loved to hear the creaking ofthe giant pines. loved to hear the wind whistle about their swaying tops. He liked to see the weird shadows cast on the water by them. He was thrilled by the sharp barking of a fox in the distance. He enjoyed the sound of the water lapping against the shore. - lt may be said here that Jack had a wanderlust. Having finished his education, he had set out to work his way about the world during' a period for seven years. at the end of which he would enter his mil- lionaire father's law office. He would receive no money fl'Ol'l-1 ,his father, as he had said that earning the money for his travels was part of the fun. XN'hen he was about half way up the lake the drone of an aero- plane caught his ear, Slowly the sound grew louder until it broke into a roar. Then jack saw a huge seaplane glide down over the stately pines at the northern end of the lake. startling the geese en- gaged in their feeding, by its descent to the water. , , A seaplane! exclaimed black. KNhat on earth is a. :Seaplane doing up here in the wilds of Maine? Nevertheless there fitrwas. The men had sidled the plane up to the shore and had chaifnedait. Now they were engaged in hastily falling small spruces and laying them up against the plane. -lack wondered at this until hefheard the sound of an approaching plane which soon flew over, cashing the rays of a giant spotlight about the land below. Ah, 1 see, said lack. That plane is chasing them. I'll bet my best suit. -.lack was eontinually betting something- that those guys are rum-runners. l'le then heard one of the men shout. Come on, let's get to Raw- son's and get help to lug the cases out to the trucks. As soon as 42 THE GATHERER they had left jack paddled swiftly down the lake to the plane. I've got to get that to the officials, somehowf' thought Jack. Do you suppose I can get that plane to Portland?,' jack had Hown the heavy bombers in the last year of the world war after he had become old enough to enlist. He climbed into the cockpit and studied the controls. Having found his bearings, he jumped out and cleared the brush awayg then he swung the plane around ready to start. Here goes. exclaimed black, and giving the propeller a turn hurriedly, he jumped into the cockpit and the plane slipped up the lake, going at a rapid speed. Because of its load. and because of jack's greenness at handling it, the plane did not rise well. lt cleared the pines at the head of the lake by a scant ten feet and was off. jack got his bearings and headed for Portland. where he planned to turn the goods over to the coast guard. After an enjoyable Hight jack made out the lights of Portland. He was 21- little sorry, for he loved flying on such a lovely night. He thought to himself that he should have a plane of his own for his travels. just as he was thinking of this, he heard the sound of another plane and looked to see it following close behind. It was the plane that had been following the owners of the plane which jack had captured. l , XYell, they'll soon have it, said jack. There are only about live miles more to go. 'Soon jack was Hying over Portland, pursued by the other plane. He flew to the water front and started his descent. l-le was a bit nervous as he had never brought a seaplane down. He made a fine landing, however, and soon the plane came to a stop, the other plane likewise. stopping directly behind him where he had brought his plane to a stop about four feet from the shore. Two men jumped out of the plane into the water and with raised riHes ordered jack from his plane. Now I'ye got to do some ex- plaining. thought jack as he climbed out of the cockpit. As he was about to step down into the shallow water. his foot slipped and down he went. The gun in the hand of one of the ofhccrs spit Fire, and jack uttered a cry of pain as he fell Hat into the water. The men grabbed him and one threw the rays of a Flashlight on him as the other lifted him up.. XVhy, it's jack Fraser! exclaimed the larger of the two men. - Quick, help me carry him ashore. Until now jack had been unconscious. caused by striking his head as he fell and by the pain from the shot which had struck him in the shoulder. Now he opened his eyes and as he did so the man carrying him spoke. Hjack. what were you doing there? VVhere are you shot? Don't you know me. Fred Collins? I am the detective to whom you gave so much help in capturing the Carson City bank robbers last summer, I'm inthe coast guard service now. A T H Ii G .-I T H li R E If -13 Is it truly you, Fred? exclaimed jack. l'll expla'n about the p'ane later. Get me to a doctor now, 1'm hit in the shoulder. They were already half way up the beach, and the other officers ran on ahead and found a car in which they took jack to the hospital. Un the way Jack told them how he took the plane and was bring- ing it to the coast guard station, when he was shot by the officers who thought Jack was leaping from them when he fell. jacks wound proved to be only a slight one. as the bullet just grazed him, cutting a deep furrow in his left shoulder. In a week he was out. In the meantime a hasty ra'd on the farm of Shorty Rawson re- sulted in the capture of the men. Later in a court trial it was dis- closed that the head of this outfit was a rich broker. It was also brought out that this man caused -lack's father to lose a large sum of monev. The losses would have been even greater had not the arrest of this man taken place. Jack, for his work, received the seaplane and five thousand dol- lars, which had been offered for one of the men. In the spring Jack left the logging camp and with his nlane set out for a trip through Canada, accompan'ed by his great St. Bernard dog, Rusty, who loved flying in Iack's plane as much as his master.

A few years ago Dad needed a new horse and many acquaint- ances were quite sure that they had just the horse to satisfy his need. Among those who wished to interest him was an elderly couple. They were quite sure that their horse, a small, dainty-appearing creature, was just what the doctor ordered. So Dad suggested that they deliver the horse, whose name, by the way, was Topsy. Topsy arrived. her old master unharnessed her, placed her in the stable, and she seemed quite contented in her new home when Dad returned home. As happens .most frequently in a physician's home. Dad was called out to see a sick patient about three miles' distant. So he decided to take Topsy. As mother and I were greatly interested, we went with him to the stable, Topsy came out of the stable very gracefully and was quickly harnessed to the buggy.'l -A Dad then got into the buggy and clicked for Topsy to travel along. Instead of travelling, however, Topsy had other ideas. In- deed, she might have been an inspiration to a jazz instructor. First she stood on her hind legs, trotted a little, then got down on her 44 THE GAT!-IERER knees, then stood up on all fours and started to back. Now, as mother and I were not used to circus horses and did not know what trick Topsy would perform next, we ran behind a wagon, trying our best to give Topsy all the room she needed.
