THE BALL OF MYSTIC TWINE 'F' ,X Q T night was one of unusual events: it began by our having dessert- 'II ,Chocolate pudding too--3 then I remembered to take my pencil to study C hun, but tg cap the climax, I was all ready for bed, even to cold creaminig my nose, when the light bell rang! t This last alone was enough to warn me that.some. extraordinary event was about to come to pass: yet as usual, I worried without .ceasing about how I could bribe the guardian spirits of Hug suis into telling me of the -f 1 la ' in store for each member oft e c ass. Mlriglticiiieiilydl heard a most unusual knock at our door. i'Who can it be? thought I. No kid-curler-borrower would roam at this time o'night and besides they always knock low and timidlyg even Miss Nesbit seldom rattles the door-knob, shakes the transom and sneezes, all to let us know that she is coming. But I did not have time to wonder very long, for in walked the most remarkable creature I ever saw. It was even worse than the Ten Little G-iblins with Glass-Green Eyes. It walked straight across the room, placed its hand on my head Cto smooth down my affrighted hair, may bel, and began to mumble at lightning speed: I am the good spirit of the Sub- Freshman Class and came in answer to your cry for someone to till your soul with prophesy. ' I must have unconsciously given a relieved sigh after that, for it released its hold on my hair and asked: HSince we both serve that renowned class you are less frightened, aren't you? and before I could reply it rattled on. Here is a magic parchment on which are written the names, aspirations and life callings of each of the i'Subs. I looked and so they were, but all were so jumbled up that I could not tell which was which, so I began, 'ibut I don't quite - Will you wait, you rude child?H then lowering its voice and talking if possible faster than ever it continued: Under the bridge at the end of the cinder-walk is a ball of mystic twine. Go for this to-night: place it thirty tive and eight sixtieths degrees east of the center of this magic parchment and the twine will arrange itself rightly showing the aspirations and voca- tions of each member of the class. Then the creature vanished! I did a s the creature bade me and so if you would know your life calling trace the course of th e mystic twine. 52
