H We are very grateful for the help and guidance he has shown 10 us during our short time here His loss will be felt deeply on all sides We, as Seniors, feel very thankful that he has been with us during all four years of our high school life, and feel equally sorry for the underclassrnen, who cannot retain all the wonderful coaching and guidance that they have had in the past. M. F. H. S. PILOT 1 BUSY lv' DAY I I HOW TO GAIN FRIENDS True friendship is a wonderful thing. Few people who have the opportunity realize the beauty of it. Many do not have the chance because they have no true friends. It is for these people I am writing How to Gain Frinedsl' and I sincerely hope it will be benefi- cial to them. In gaining friends the first thing to remember is to smile. YVhen you meet anyone for the first time it is only natural for you to wish to make a good impression. The best way I know of lo do this is to smile-a genuine smile and not a silly, insincere grin. After you have met the person and are left to carry on a conversation with him. be friendly, forget yourself, think of him- Get him to talk about himself, and be genuinely interested in what he has to say-make your interest so genuine and sincere that he can't keep from becoming interested in you. Never talk about yourself or any of vour heroic deeds. If you do this your friend is immediately going to form the opinion that you are an egoist. A frood wav to get out of this difficulty is to talk on different subjects until you find out what his hobby is, or some oarticular line in which he is interested instead of forcing on him some subject which is verv boring. Another important point to remem- her is to be interested in the other ...V j person instead of trying to get him interested in y-ou because if you are sincerely interested in hi-m that will turn his interest to you. Listen atten- tively to what he has to say, don't allow your mind to wander from his subject. Make him feel he is impor- tant and do it sincerely. The next time you meet a stranger try to practice at least some of these rules. Remember the rules-Rule 1- smileg Rule 2-Be genuinely interested in the other person to get them inter- ested in you, Dorothea Bridgham, '37 FRIENDSHIP XVe have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken How many we see, and have association with, whom we scarcely speak to, whom we honor, and who honor us. To these we do not express our thoughts but we seem to have a mutual understanding that we are friends. XYe glory in this feeling for these people. The our affections, is no winter hover on the moment we indulge in all iss cheerful and there or storms. No clouds horizon of our trust in them. Old friends and dear. They are sincere and true. NYC may think aloud before them. Their advice and council is grasped as if we fear that it will escape into thin and new alike are near Z M. F. air. Before them we drop the outsid: exterior of formal courtesy and act with entire simplicity. One element of friendship is tender- ness. VVhen one has become dear to us, we have touched a goal of good fortune. VVe exchange gifts, are good neighbors, and are concerned with the sick. To obtain friendship, be yourself and be sincere at all times. W'e talk of choosing friends but friends are self- elected. They come to us unsought. They can't be judged unfairly, but deference to them must be portrayed al, all times. The higher the type of friendship we demand, the harder it is, of course to establish it in our world. Friends cannot be ideals, but are just like you and me, plain simple folk whose feelings are easily hurt. They are real. . Friends are like books, they are where we can find them although we seldom use them. VVe receive them not for what they have but for what they are. They furnish us entertain- ment without masking or going onto the stage to give brilliant speeches. The roots of friendship are embed- ded deep in the heart of every man. These roots grow and continue to strengthen with the passing of time. Let them expand and continue their growth. As all good things, even friendship must be saddened and broken. Though still, all the beauty is not lost but con- tinues to weave its web in the hearts of man. A Friend in need, -my neighbor said to me- A Friend indeed is what I mean to beg In time of trouble I will come to you, And in' the hour of need you'll find me true. I thought a bit and took him by the hand: My friend, said I, you do not under- stand. The inner meaning of that simple rhyme A friend is what the heart needs all H. S. PILOT the time. Laina Pullckinen, '38 LIFE IS A GAME The song writer said: f'Life is a game we're playing. It is not always as pleasant, perhaps as a game, but the smilarity of the two is noticeable. First, as in baseball, the major league clubs go into training in the spring of the year. They prepare for the season ahead. Liken this to our school system, where teachers, as coaches, will prepare their material, for a career, not a season on the dia- mond. New recruits crop up and fight for a vacant position, or to take an aged veteran's place in the line-up, even as they do in life. These veterans will warm up for a long, torturous season. They practice to prepare themselves and fight off the challenge of youth. Then ,comes the first game. What is there about the first game? Great crowds attend. VVhy is the first game important? There follows a long, strenuous scliedule-a long, hot, dry, weary sea-- son-a campaign stretching through the weeks from the latter part of April to the end of September. The sun will beat d-own on the toil- ing ball players, as again and again they go to their positions in the field. They play in a blazing heat. The games are long drawn out af- fairs. The season drags. A few big moments are remember- cd. 'How long must the team. play to build up a single tense moment? They go through' the same motions again and again. They field the ball. and exchange it around the infield . Despite anv-slowness that creeps in, the players must -keep up with the game. They must not lose track of what is happening, even if it should be dull, slow and uninteresting. They M. F. H. S.. PILOT 3 must think the game, concentrate all the time they are playing. They must be awake and on their toes, they must hustle and bustle all the time. It is the hustle that wins the victory-be it baseball or life. It is the time between the big mo- ments, which lasts longer than the big moments, that we must account for, because these moments are, each sin- gle one, important, they should be as important as the big moments. Injuries play a part in both life an.l the game. Not only does it mean something to the injured star, but also to one who fills his place while he is sick or on the shelf! Breaks play a huge part in any game and in life. Close football games are won on breaks as much as on anything else. Luck is an important factor. The player who is good, and consistent may be the better, but if he is luckless, he will lose to the favored one. I There are streaks. There are streaks of gcod luck and bad. There are win- ning streaks and losing streaks. It is surprising what a perfect day at bat will do to help a player's average. It takes a long time sometimes for a play- er to eliminate a slump, but he must not stop trying. When losses pile up, everything goes wrong, there is a monkey wrench thrown into the works. Athletes and men enter a dark cloud of shadow. It is a shadow of discouragement. De- feats mount up to an impossible num- ber. Everything breaks wrong. The player cannot seem to do a right thing. Play is ragged. Ball after ball is kick- ed away. The subjects is in a slump. He loses all faith. He simply cannot connect with that pesky pellet and says what's the use P All semblance of perfection is lost. Efficiency is lost, is so far away that it is out of sight. The heaviest of discouragement sits on the victim of the slump. Everybody has days like this. But the victim must not give up. There is a silver liningg that efficiency must be sought and found again. One must keep plugging. W'hat is the greatest game of all? It has been said that war is the greatest game of all. But we are comparing life and a game. War is not life, even though it is a game of life, but war is death. VVhat is the greatest game? The answer must be-Life is the greatest game of all. Emmons Taylor, '39 HONOR Honor is a thing for all times and all occasions. It is not a thing that can be settled and established once for all. It must be maintained day by day. Many of us have a high sense of honor, yes, we too often keep it for great oc- casions. I rise in the morning and plan to do certain tasks or to enjoy certain pleasures, and say to myself, Tl.is day I shall live to myself and do as I please g but as I go on my search for pleasure, or go to the task, lo, I am met by one of my fellow-men, one perhaps in need or distress, or wishing to share some joy. His claim on me is imperative. I may not ignore him. Here is a simple point of honor on which I may not fail. The story of the Good Samaritan has deep underlying truths. When a certain traveler going on the road to jerico fell among thieves, neither he the least intention of trying and test- nor the thieves, you may be sure, had ing the goodness of their fellow-men. There he lay where the thieves left him. First one traveler then another came by and were tested by the event and failed, each riding on without giv- ing him aid. Then came a Samaritang he, too, no doubt was bent on impor- tant business of his own, and he, too, was tested by the same event. He, however, stayed and poured oil on the wounds of the-injured man and found shelter at an inn, and left money for his comfort and maintenance. So it is that the lines of all of us are continually contrived to test the lines of others, and we fail or succeed, not at 4 M. F. H, S. PILOT the end of a week, or a month or a year, but daily, hourly, and unexpect-A edly. T The chances f-or honor and fineness which Fate is constantly offering us lie oftener in small than X in large things. The one who waits for some big opportunity to prove her high sense of lzonor may wait a long time. The road which in the end will lead to the greatest happiness is the road called Honor, but it is at first no road at all-only a little footpath in your life and mine. Following it will lead you to broad roads and highways lead- ing through noble cities, past kings' palaces into wide green pastures and beside peoceful waters. Pauline Giddinge, '39 THE VALUE OF SUPPLEMEN- TARY READING XVhat are the names of the currently popular fiction and non-fiction books? Who wrote Gone With The Wind or the American Doctor's Odyssy? Du you know? Donlt be ashamed if you d-on't, for thousands of high school stu- dents have no idea such good reading material exists outside of their school books and the newspapers. To have a well-balanced, unbiased mind, it is necessary to read, read, read. As students, we find it hard to realize this, for we depend on our stud- ies to take care of that. However, have you ever thought how much our re- spective studies would be improved if we read a good book occasionally? Vocabulary, broader knowledge, betler ways of expressing our thoughts and ideas and countless other advantages may be gained by developing this worthwhile habit. Undoubtedly the best way to dis-' cover the best books to read, is by con- sulting either the book review list in the New York Times, or The Saturday Review of Literature, the latter to be found in our own school library. After writing down your preferences, consult your librarian, and find out just what she has in that list that appeals to you. Be consistent in your reading. Do not read all fiction, neither go to the other extreme and devour all non-fic- tion. Try to keep it well balanced, and what is more important, keep in mind that while you are reading for your own pleasure you are constantly improving your mind. Doesn't the picture of a cozy corner, a deep chair, soft lights, a crackling fire-place and a good book appeal to your imagination? NVhy not make it a reality, and discover one of the most enjoyable and broadening pastimes :ne can cultivate. Marie Merrill.

VVe are very grateful to them and feel sure they will get much satisfaction for aid- iz g a worthy cause. M. F. H.

T He knew he would have to hurry today if he was to be back before the storm Started. A snowstorm in the North was something to be respected. lt might last a day or it might last a week. XYhen the wind blew the snow into drifts over a manis head, and when the mercury in the ther- mometer disappeared, the trapping business was for younger men than Jim. Nevertheless, mid-morning found .lim barely a quarter of the way around the line. The snow seemed a little thicker, and a slight wind was sway- ing the trees, making the snow fall off and drift to the ground. .-Xt noon .lim was still trudging along from trap to trap and it was over an hour before he came to his customary stopping llace. He built a small fire and filled his which to mal-'e tea. Hs- felt unusually tired and his coat, while frozen with a crust of snow on the outside, was damp with perspiration on the inside. lt was definitely snowing harder now and the wind nearly succeeded in ex- cup with snow with tinguishing the hre. He did not rest today as was his habit at his mid-day stop, but started immediately on his return trip. Being on the trail after dark in this bad storm VOICE OF THE NORTH It was the truth, He could not de- ny it. Old .lim Allen was getting old. He wouldn't tend a trap line in that cold country many more years. He- ing on the line all day in freezing weather was getting beyond his en- ilarance. llit it was fall again and .lim was repairing his traps and getting his snowshoes into condition. He was thinking that before many days he would have to hire young Robert Page, with his tlivver, to take him out to his shack to repair the roof. It was morning and several weeks had passed. There was a light snow fallingg the Hakes were drifting lazily onto the hugh jack pines. The pines seemed to be protecting a small shack from which smoke arose from a piece of stove pipe protruding thru the roof Finally, the door opened and out step- ped an old man, a faded mackinaw on his stooping shouldersg shoulders that had known the weight of many packs. They now carried several traps of va- rivus sizes, .lim Allen, for it was he, closed the door and stepped to the side of the shack where a pair of snowshoes were stuck in a snowdrift. jim put the shoes on and started on his tramp around the trap line. M. F. H. S. Pilot 29 meant being lost and freezing to death. By three o'cloek he had imade but a quarter of the way to the shack and he was beginning to tire. Two hours later it was hard to dis- tinguish the trail in the drifting snow. jim had stopped tending to his traps and was making every effort to get to his shack. Already it was getting gray, and jim was tired now, and he felt queerly weak. He was shivering, then he was perspiring, then he was doing both at the same time. He couldn't keep this pace up much longer even if he didn't reach camp. He would have to stop and rest soon and perhaps make a cup of tea himself up. . Hours later Jim did stop, after l.e had bumped into a was dark and knowing that there was no use in wandering around trying to find the trail, he groped about in the snow and finally found enough sticks to start a small fire. He put his cup Filled with snow, to melt for tea, on the lire. He sat down and dozed, awoke with astart and put so.me tea into his cup, dozed again, and slept. to warm but only tree. It Tl at spring, young Robert Page found a pile of bones near the old trap- per's trail. The wolves and voltures had not left much for identification. Hut near the bones were several traps of vari u-4 sizes with the name james Allen, printed on them. I William Coolidge, '38 HCHEWING GUM Nine persons out of ten like to chew gum, but why? Etiquette books say it is a very, very, had mannered person that chews grim. Beauty Experts say it willprexent a double chin. Doctors say it l elps digest your food yet I d,in't chew gum for any reason. I chew simply because I like it. I am in favor of all gum chewers because it is harmless, it doesn't cost much and there's nothing in the world I like bet- ter than GUM! Some chew gum with their back teeth making no noise, some with their front teeth making snapping noises, others blow big bubbles of gu-m, while still others grab it, stringing it out their arm's length, It takes practice to be a good gum chewerf' One must practice long, hard and faithfully and must be tireless in his or her efforts to make a snap that can be heard all over the room or to be able to make no noise. Can you think of a more enjoyable way of spending a rainy evening than to curl up in a nice soft easy chair, with the latest detective magazine at hand, and a nice new stick of gum upon which to chew? Let me tell you the story of gum. First it is the sap of a tree, later it is manufactured into gum and sold. Then it is jostled around in someone's mouth, parked on a dish for three four days, tossed around again in someone's mouth and at last laid to rest forever under a seat in a theater. Now perhaps you don't chew gum but prefer to spend your money on tobacco, cigarettes, cigars or candy. However, the only way to set the wlorld right for me, when school isn't going well or other troubles are bother- ing me, is to chew my troubles away! Helen Rowe, '37 THE UNUSUAL HOUSE PARTY Tonight has been set aside for our high-brow house party. This party 30 M. F. H. S. Pilot is to be quite different from our pre-- vious parties in that all the guests are very famous. Tonight finally comes and also, one by one, come our guests. Our first guest to arrive is Sherlock Holimes, an elderly man smoking a black pipe, and wearing a brown tweed suit which looks at least one size too large and very much out of press. Sherlock takes his seat in front of the fire place and looks very thoughtful blowing smoke into the air from time to timeg aside from that, he seems quite motionless, Next to arrive is Robinson Crusoe, clad more or less in rags and appearing quite haggard. He, also, went into the living room and, not paying any atten- tion to Sherlock, strolled about the room observing the paintings hanging on the walls. A few minutes after Mr. Crusoe's appearance Cleopatra glides in, clad in a vivid red dress of scanty dimen- sions. Taking no notice of either of the men already in the roo-m she throws herself upon a divan and moodi- ly picks up a book lying on a table near by. Slim, and dressed in dark clothes appears the Thin Man. Noticing Cleo- patra and, at the same time, under the appraising look of this lady in red, he soon finds much in common with her. He entertains himself with hardly a glance at the others wh-o, at this turn of affairs, seem to be not in the least interested. Merton of the Movies is next to ap- pear and, after taking a good look at himself in the hall mirror, strides dramatically into the room. At the sight of beautiful Cleopatra on the couch, he stops short and, growing very red in the face, mumbles some- thing and passes on to regain his self- possession. Quite an oldish man next appears dressed in dark but rather shabby clothes, This is Silas Marner who by no means livens up the party. to be the seventh in the spacious living room garbed in a black evening gown. Although much more beautiful than Cleopatra herself, she does not have quite the glamour and, much to the disappointment of Venus, the Thin Man still stays in the most gracious company of Cleopatra. Venus proves line and enters Five minutes after, the tapping of a cane upon the hardwood floor of the hall gives away the appearance of Rip Van Vtlinkle. Rip, very stooped and lame, enters the room and sits in the cl air nearest to the doorg after folding his extremely long beard upon his lap, he goes to sleep, presenting by no means a cheerful sight. XVilliam Baxter next puts in an ap- rearance with neatly combed hair and a rose in his button hole, XVilliaim Wears a rather ill-fitting tux, and carries a cane which he leaves in the vestibule. XVilliam makes his entrance rather timidly and, not seeing Cleopatra, walks over to the divan on which Ve- nus has taken a seat. Sitting upon the furthermost side he starts to chew his nails and nervously tap his foot. Last and almost late was Socrates who, clad in a white toga and bearing in his left hand a scroll, was to open the meal with a speech fitting and proper for the occasion, Ten in all are now present which in- cludes all invited to the party. Among those ten only two seemed to be en- joying themselves and those two were Cleopatra and the Thin Man who are M. F. H. still deeply engrossed in each other. At this moment the dinner bell rings and all go into the spacious dining room adjoining the living room on the left. llinner consists of ham, potatoes and vegetables vx ith var.a.i..n, which are de- voured by all except Robinson Crusoe, who wisl.es only milk, and Rip Van lYinkle, who drinks only water. The meal, having started off with the speech of Socrates, progresses qaite slowly without much conversation and after everyone finishes they adjourn to the living room where Silas Robinson Crusoe, and Rip Van VVinkle talk in one corner about their experiences 'and narrow escapes. In another corner Xliilliam and Merton surround Venus asking many dumb questions concern- ing Mount Olympus. UHow, asks XX'illie, is jupiter nowadays ? l'Very well, thank youf' answers Venus, with a most radiant s-mile. Doesn't he miss you? asks Merton in a tone of awe. Oh, no, answers Venus, 'fnot when he knows how I am enjoying myself in the company of two such sturdy men you. There seems to be a flicker of a smile at the corner of Venus' mouth but neither of the boys notice it or be- come self conscious, and proceed with the conversation. The two guests re- maining are sitting in front of the fire place conversing between periods of heavy thinking. Many a case have I solved in my day,'f remarks Sherlock, removing his heavy black pipe from his mouth. Is that so ? inquires Socrates. NVhat kind of cases? NVhy, murder of course, answers Sherlock rather surprised. NVhat do you do for a liv- ing, Socales ? asks Sherlock. I study S. Pilot 3 1 and teach, answers Socrates. There is very little that I don't yet know. I am perhaps the most learned person living. VVell, well, says Sherlock and continues to smoke his pipe. Such conversation as this issues from Cleopatra and the Thin Man. I'll bet you wish Anthony was here now, you would then be enjoying yourself, de- clares the Thin Man. Oh, Mr. Thin Man, you know very well that Mark and I have broken up and don't say that again, gently speaks Cleopatra. Thus does our party proceed until twelve o'clock when it breaks up. One by cne and two by two they all leave except Rip who has fallen asleep and can not be .awakened. Richard Weston, '38 MUSIC Carlyle once said that music is the speech of the angelsf' and although this cannot pass as a definition, it em- phasizes the difference between music and any ordinary sounds. Music is really an art. It differs from all other arts except poetry, for all these make use of materials which can be handled while the musician has only tones to deal with, and the poet has only words. NVhen a painter finishes his great picture he knows that as long as it exists it will always be the way he left it, but when a composer writes a song the thoughts he may wish to convey may not always be interpreted by others. More than once in the history of the world music has been an important factor in some great movement. Every one knows what the Marseillaise has meant to France, although it has been 32 M. F..l-I, S. Pilot necessary to forbid itsiuse in some cases because the legions who sang it were fired to such fury and bitterness. The Spartans once gained a glorious victory under the inspiration of martial songs. Every nation in the world today has some kind of music, every tribe, no matter how primitive, has its own music, although to the civilized world it may not sound like music. Jacqueline Goss, '37 IN THE NICK OF TIME XVell, Bill, we are to carry out the new plans tonight. Yes, Joe, and will we make a good job of it. I'll be glad when it's time for the Philadelphia to come alongfl Joe and Bill, two pirates on the Atlantic Coast were discussing plans for robbing and then sinking the Phila- delphia, which was coming along by the place where they were to attack a short time after midnight.

No, lim not gittin' yeller, but still I think 'tis an awful pity. Jiim was a young fellow about five feet eleven inches in height. His hair was brown and sometimes had a red- dish cast. He had a fair, light com- plexion, used good grammar, and wasn't at all tough looking. l don't bc- lieve if he had been a pirate for twenty years he would have looked or acted much more like one than he did then. He just wasn't made for that sort of thing. joe was a regular pirate, tough in looks, language, act, and thought. He was dark, short, rather stout with piercing eyes, and he had a far from attractive face. Both arms were well tattooed, his clothes were shabby and there was generally a smell of strong drink about him. Bill was more of a pirate than Jim, but not quite so :much of a one as joe. He wasn't as cruelg joe didn't appear to have any heart as you have prnbably already seen bv the above c -nvcrsation He smelled of strong drink nearly as often as Joe, but didn't drink quite as heavily. He had black hair, but n' t a dark complexion. That night Jim turned in at about seven o'clock so as to be rested and readv to do somethini when the time for the attack came. He told his mates to call him at half past eleven. For between one and two hours Jim slept soundly but then he became troubled in his sleep and began to dream. In his dream the plans for the M. F. H. S. Pilot 33 robbery were being carried out. The boat had just come along, been stop- ped, and the pirates had gone aboard fhe among thernj and covered all on deck and then tied them up. After this they went below to get the treasure which, all taken together, was worth about half a million. As he took hold of the chest to help carry it up on deck he saw a light, a light so bright that it completely blinded his eyes. Then he heard a voice from above say, lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven? As he heard these words he looked up and saw an angel all in glis- tening white, a most beautiful angel, who upon uttering these words disap- peared. NVith the vanishing of the angel jim awoke and sat bolt upright in bed, he took his watch from his pocket and, by the light of a match, saw that it was two minutes of nine. After a few minutes of reflection he had determined what he was going to do. I-Ie sprang from the bed and wrote a note as follows: My Former Mates: I am leaving your company. I promised to be faithful to you when I joined your number, and now I donlt feel right about being in your confi- dence in regards to the plans of rob- bery one minute and then deserting you and getting someone to help run you down the next. Therefore I am warning you. Thus my promise is no longer any good and I am leaving for help. Jim After completing his note he tied up in an old shirt the few belongings which he had brought with him, and fastened the bundle on the top of his head in order to keep it as dry as pos- sible while escaping. This done he went up on the lower deck and struck his note on the railing with a pin where his mates would be sure to see it as soon as they assembled there at eleven o'clock. At that time a few of them were on the upper deck playing cards, drinking, and having a great time. He could hear their gruff talk and hilarious laughter. The rest were below, asleep, where he had been. The boat was anchored quite near shore as it was very deep water nearly up to the bank. After having posted his note he slipped quietly overboard and started for the bank with long, rapid strokes. All was quiet except' the ripple of the water and the clamor of the jovial mates. XYith little effort he reached the shore and by means of a root project- ing from the bank, scrambled up, took his bundle from his head, pulled out a shirt, put it on, and started, on a run through the woods, then on along zhe road toward the nearest city. Once in the city he went directly to the police department. I-Ie told the Captain his story, all about the plans for the robbery, his dream, and what he had done after awaking. Then he said, I have come to you for help. Perhaps, you may think I am deserv- ing of punishment as much as the rest, as probably I am, but I am in earnest when I say that I mean to lead a dif- ferent life than I have in the past-a different life even than that which I led before joining that band of pirates. I may even join my father as a mis- sionary. I have time to say no more about my intentions now, but ask you 34 M. F. H. S. Pilot to do whatever you think best, If I can be of any further help let me know. Later, if need be, I can tell you where to find the treasures of former robber- ies. I hope you really intend to carry out the plans of which you speak, the Captain said. ttYou may stay here in case we need further information. The Philadelphia was stopped before it reached the pirates' mooring place, then the pirates were caught and taken care of. l.a.er jim said to the Captain, 'KI am certain that Providence guided me in my actions tonight, for which I am more than thankful, because if I hadn't acted as I did my father would have sunk on that ship. He was just return- ing from Africa, where he had been doing missionary work. Dorothy M. Berry, '37 DEATH It was a dark and stormy night through which Del and Mary picked their way to a little shack buried deep in the midst of the Rockies. The wind blew a fearful gale through the bent trees, driving torrents of rain into the faces of these two young people who had never dreamed that such weather ever existed. Both were silent and perhaps a little frightened, especially Mary, who hung onto Del's arm with a grip of steel. Ult can't be much farther, yelled Del to his pretty wife, God help us if we are on the wrong trail. This met with no response as Mary's mind was running at that time in an entirely different channel. Before she and Del had started from their suite in the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City, to spend their two week vacation in the Rockies, Mary, purely out of curiosity, had visited a fortune-teller to learn about their com-- ing adventure. The fortune-teller, an old woman with a thin pale face and many gray hairs, had told her, after much deli- beration and sifting of the various colored sands on a table in front of Mary, that if she took the trip into the mountains she would never come out alive, and, worst of all, her busband, Del, would be the cause of her death. At that time Mary had been frightened at the words of the old woman, but laughed them off, after having thought them over for a few minutes. Now, in the blackness of a heavy stonm, she happened to think of this visit to the -fortune-teller. The suggestion of a smile appeared on her lips as she felt the sturdy support of her husband's right arm. t'Ridiculous, thought Mary, only such a night as this, would bring such thoughts into my mind? At last, after what seemed hours of tramping, Del saw in the distance the dim shape of a log cabin. 'fNearly there, joyfully shouted Del into Mary's ear. Mary had by now stilled her fears and nodded her head in response to Del's remark. The cabin stood in a clearing, with but one huge tree standing near, this tree was right beside the cabin's only window, which was eight feet above the ground. Back of the cabin and not more than half a mile away, rose a very steep cliff. In the other direc- tion could be seen only heavy forests and high, rugged mountain peaks reaching for miles into the clouds. This is a devil of a night, remark- M. F. H. S. Pilot 35 ed Del, as he opened the heavy log door. It ain't no fit night for man or beast. Mary, laughing, lit a match and ap- plied the flame to the wick of a kero- sene lamp, which was standing in the furthermost corner of the room. After lighting it, she suspended the lamp from a piece of wire hanging from the ceiling at arms length above her head. Size then removed her heavy jacket, which was thoroughly wet by the storm. Meanwhile, Del had placed his heavy hunting rifle in the corner and was removing his thick mackinaw. The ilickering light of the lamp showed somewhat dimly the inside of the small cabin. Two bunks and a bench made up the furniture, with the exception of a small table in the far- tl.er corner, on which lay several packages of groceries. The Hoor con- sisted of warped timbers which looked as though they had been hewn by hand as the surface was very rough and knotty. The bunks, one on either side of the room, consisted of two large pieces of heavy canvas stretched over four poles jointed together in the form of a rectangle. Each was held up by two legs about four feet high while t'.e sides of the frames were supported by the wall of the cabin. Directly above Mary's bed was the cabin's only wind w which was resounding with t e fatter of wind-swept rain. Oppo- site the only door, through which May and Del had entered, there was a sznall fire place constructed of rock, with a tin funnel running at an angle to the roof. To this fire place Del went, after having removed his jacket, and st1.r.ed a Fire using several sticks of word and the page of an old newspaper to l-:indle it. In no less than twenty minutes he had the fire well ablaze and, having pulled up the table from the corner, was busy with the help of his wife preparing supper. VVhat will it be, dear, steak or beans ?', asked Del from across the table. Steak and well done, remarked Mary with a commanding air. You cook the steak and I shall prepare the potatoes. 'tDid you ever see such weather as this Pi' asked Del cutting the steak into small pieces. Hear the wind whistle through those trees and around this cabing brother Noah hasn't got a thing on us. This is one night when a wo- man needs protectiong one can never tell what might happen on a night like this. Hic volvere parcas. I really shouldn't have brought you way up here for the two weeks of hunting, Maryg you will be thoroughly run down by the time we reach New York. A good amount of exercise for a man is usually too much for a womang I think that we had better start back tomorrow and call it quits. Look at the weather and our rotten luck hun- tingf' Don't talk nonsense, said Mary de- cidedly, with a twinkle in her eye, I am not run down and am very able to take care of ..,.... just then a splin- tering of wood resounded from above and down fell a huge log which had formed a part of the roof, Look out! Mary, cried Del who had foreseen the disaster a split second before the crash. Too lateg Mary had been crushed to tl e floor under the heavy impact of the falling log. My God!'l yelled Del rushing around the table which had not been hit. 36 M. F. H. S. Pilot The log had fallen directly on Mary's head and had pinned her to the Hoof. Blood was already spurting from her scalp forming little pools upon the un- even Hoor. Amidst piteous lamentations and groans of grief Del with a mighty ef- fort lifted the heavy log from Mary's crushed body. My God, killed and she didn't even in his arms. i Speak, one last word trembling voice. Speak to me, Mary he whispered bending down to take her in his arms. Speak, one last work- don't leave me now-speak! The blood was now flowing much more freely from her head and was beginning to ooze through her clothes from her crushed shoulder in a reddish- crimson color. VVhat a sight! Enough to turn your blood to water. The already dying fire and the swaying of the flickering lamp threw dim shadows into the corner of the room. Again the lamp swayed and threw a faint light to the window above Mary's bed revealing, faintly but surely, a pair of large bright yellow eyes set much too far apart to be those of a human. The most dangerous ani- mal to be found in those parts of the woods was hanging from a branch of the huge tree outside the cabin. A Black Panther, which had been run- ning through the Woods at the left of the camp, had been attracted by Del's voice and the crack of the log and was now staring very greedily over Del's bent form beside Mary's bloody body. The sly black animal had crept to the trunk of the trce below the cabin window and had crawled to a branch just above the window sill. His weight brought him to the lower Sash Where rested two paws, black and large even for an animal of his size. Every muscle quivered in the animal and fear mixed with a dull hatred remained in his unusual large eyes. Del was not yet aware of the animal's presenceg straightening up from his wife's body he turned up the wick in the lantern. A flow of much brighter light brightened the room, and Del, if he had been in his right mind, would have heard the snarl of the panther outside the window. This sudden flood of light had frightened the beast and, with a snarl of rage mixed with fear he drew back into the shadow. If ever a man was to be pitied it was Del, Half dazed by his sudden grief, with many pitiful sobs, he drew from Mary's bed a blanket and carefully spread it over his wife. After cover- ing the body he stood up and tried to steady himself against the table. After a time he washed his blood-stained hands and tear-stained face from a pail of water at the lower end of the table. Then he prepared to go to bed. In his bath robe he strode back and forth for a few moments and blowing out the lamp, retired to his bunk. Ten minutes later there was a brush- ing of branches against the house, as if caused by the storm, and again two yellow eyes peered into the cabin. All fear had now left those terrible eyes. only hatred showed in a wicked gleam As Del turned over in bed, a sharp crash of splintering glass resounded through the small cabin. Del sat up with a start just in time to see a long black object hurtling through the win- dow to his wife's body, now covered with a blanket. Del, in terror, reached for his gun in the corner and fired in the direction of the panther. The bullet never hit M. F. H. S. Pilot 37 its mark but lodged in the wall on the opposite side of the cabin. The panther, frightened at the ter- rible explosion, remained but a few seconds over the prone body of Mary and then leaped out onto the branch, eight feet above the cabin floor. Del shot once in the direction ofthe lleeing animal and then rushed from his bunk to his wife. After having lighted the lamp he looked down upon his wife's body. XYhat he saw made him gasp! Not only was the robe torn from his wife's body but a thick layer of skin had been chewed from her neck caus- ing a fresh stream of blood to flow onto the Hoor and over the blanket, but worst of all- No, it can't be true! No! No ! Del sank to the floor ex- hausted, for between Mary's tightly closed jaws remained an ear of the black panther! XVhy had not Del moved her from the Ho rr and why did he give her up as dead?

He stretched and yawned then resumed his walk Till he saw a sight that made him balk. Across the street there came a dog, To the cat he looked as big as a hog. The dog was chasing an old felt hat And was quite surprised to meet the cat. Into the air he jumped with a leap When he came down he flopped in a heap, When he got up things looked rather hazy, And he decided he'd gone crazy. Not a thing remained of the cat, but All he saw was the old felt hat. For while he performed the marvelous leap The cat had gone home to catch up on his sleep.

F.H Low rumblings di-sturb the air While an oppressive silence shrouds The earth, then in crowds Swiftly lightning flashes seem to tear. Suddenly a quick patter of rain Carried by the swift wings Of a wind that howls, then sings. Trees bend low only to straighten again. With the swiftness of a sword at last It comes, in giant roars and claps that shake The soul. Lightning in blue flames makes One believe all earthly things are past. As quickly the storm subsides and on high The sun bursts through, a mighty lord. Then tenderly the promise of God A flower dyed rainbow arches the sky.
