At the beginning of every second school term the President is chosen from the faculty citizens and the Vice- President from the student body. The President selects the Cabinet from the faculty citizens, who are appointed Secretaries of the different bureaus. The Juniors. and Seniors compose the Senate and the Specials the House. All those interested in the Republic feel that it is a very superior form of student government, and this has been proved true by testimony from outside sources. Such' a government has been suggested to colleges and the Ossining Republic held as an example. President .................. ........... C lara C. Fuller Vice-President ........,...............

Quiet it is true and peaceful-but how much these qualities can some- times hide. Her success at West Point have shown us that. cn., THE QUILL for 1916 The Class History N the midst of our garden ,there once grew a rose f ll of roses and in the loveliest of them all tree u , lived a nymph, so tiny that human eye could hardly discern ber. She had a snug little room behind every petal of the rose, and a most delicious scent there was within. How lovely and transparent were the walls, for they were shaded in the most beautiful of rose colors. p All' day long, the little- nymph revelled in the sunshine, flew from flower to flower, and danced on the wings of fluttering butterflies. She would peep here and there in various class-rooms to see if her Ossining friends were happy, for she loved them all. One day, before she came to the end of her routine, the sun went down, for she had begun rather late. It became very cold, the dew fell, and the wind blewg it was high time for her to get home. She hurried as much as she ever could, but the rose had shut itself up, and she could not get in. The poor little rose nymph was dreadfully frightened, for she had never been out in the night, and had always slept safely behind her cozy rose- leaves. Here and there she fluttered, until her tiny W11'lgS could work no longer. A big gust of wind whisked her up into the air, and then she dropped into the midst of a strange garden. She looked about and was wondering wh-ere she could be, when, Welcome, my dear cousin, said the Sweet-pea Ezlgvlgh-t Eo1u seem fatigued, and I will call my rs o ep you. ' UNO, answered the Rose, my time seems t0 have '9XPiI'60l, for I have bloomed in Ofladness all mils year- The sun shone and warmed nie, and the ill' llgefreshed me. I drank the pure dew and the SS rain, and I lived, I breathed.

Then, out of the earth there arose a power within her, from above there came down strength, and the Sweet-pea nymph started on her journey with this errand to fulfill. At first, her road lay between fertile farms dotted with shocked wheat, then on through gardens of many colored flowers. Soon she stopped, and seated herself among them, and a great desire caused her to bend over the one pretty bud which so attracted her attention. To her surprise, it opened with a pop, and there, in the mid- dle of the flower, upon green velvet stamens, 'sat a little maiden, most delicate and graceful to behold. At first the nymph was startled that such a thing could have happened, but soon she found courage enough to ask, May I come to see you, for I am so tired and have travelled such a distance.

That Year, heralded by Success, and riding in a chariot to which was yoked the Lion of famed prow- ess, bade me travel with her to the nearby and distant parts of the earth. There I should see the achieve- ments of those women of Whose lives-she had once composed a apart. I gladly obeyed the order and rode forth to see. Forests, fields, and mountains, passed by me in rapid unfamiliar succession. The country grew Wilder and more barren as I rode along, 'until at last I stepped forth into the snow of a small Esquimeau village. I saw a troop of children clad in fur from head to toe, and followed them in idle curiosity. They had stopped at the door of a small hut, when I was 'astonished to hear a vvell-known Southern voice. Just .then a sign above the door caught my eye. It read Katherine Crampton-Southern Cake-Walk, Vir- ginia Reel-Hours 4-63' In a short talk with Katherine, I learned how, tired by the idle activities of Mobile society life, she was inspired by the remembrance of Mission Study reports, and decided to fill the great need for North- ern missionaries. But, to her dismay, she found that the Bible, alone, was not sutlicient to please bel' pupils, so she had begun giving dancing lessons. 42 , - as eff' 2 -' THE f Suits' New lf ,g .1 5, gmadw.

My rapid course soon brought me to Broadway and Fortieth, where, in the midst of the thronging populace, several Gypsies attracted my attention. When I had stopped in great astonish- ment, I beheld in the center of the crowd the figure of an emaciated violinist who was none other than Frances Erwin. As I moved nearer, a shriek rose on the air. A wild, bent, white-haired figure broke forth from the throng crying Frances, Frances, I've found you at last! I waited to see the happy reunion of Nell and Frances Erwin, not to mention the reward of the patient suitor, who had in turn followed Nell in her frantic chase for her sister, long since abducted by the wandering tribe, who desired her to bring them the money they were sure her playing would get from 'the people. The nearest building of interest being the Metro- politan Opera House, I stopped for a few minutes of Die Walkure. I enjoyed even more than the opera, the music of the orchestra, which was led by a woman. For Lillia Slayton had succeeded the lately renowned Polacco. In one of the boxes, I perceived Miss Marjorie Schnarr, the recently elected president of the General Civic Improvement League, who had shortly before caused a great stir by her art criticism of city sign- boards of the metropolis. As I rode down Broadway, I noticed a tall, im- posing-looking building whose plate-glass windows bore the inscription D. Moore, Mathematical Text- 43 THE QUILL for 1915 hooksj, and as I passed by the place, I saw the pros- pcmus young proprietor ride off in a beautifully appointed new limousine, with her efficient advertis- ing agent, Eleanor George. ' n I had expected to see the name of Margaret Ham- ilton Paine in blazing lights above the entrance of the Schubert Theatre. I learned, however, that her sueeess on the stage had pleased the public but had failed to satisfy her. She had given it up for a domestic career and had married an unassuming Russian shoemaker, so, instead of seeing her in some Shakespearian role, I caught a glimpse of her, scrub- hing the back porch of a small apartment. On my way to Ossining I glanced at a latest edition. Large black headlines announced that Lonisc M. Frick had won' the world's tennis cham- pionship in an International game. game. I I stopped to see the new improvements for which the Ossining School had become famous. Among the changes, was a new Domestic Science building, where .-Xdeha Floyd was ably supervising classes as suc- cessor to the recently-married Miss Vosburgh. In Ossining, too, was Helen Calam' also situated. Happily married, she had found a use for every phase gi Home-Making course-even that of the Kinder- hl . . A little further up the Hudson, I visited the Gov- ernment Military School where I was enthusiastically flfeefefl by Florence Leisy, the first woman student S293 Qflmiffed to West Point.

In a trip through the new government buildings at Washington, I met Alethea Carpenter, a far-famed statistician on Eugenics, and learned that it was largely due to her- influence' that Congress had in- stituted the National Eugenics Law. . In a rather roundabout course, l visited the city which Genevieve Race was so loath to call home, and on one of the main streets I saw her, a martyr to the musical world, which she had renounced for work in the Salvation Army where many cheery songs and large collections were attributed to Salvation Gen. ' , A Near the mid-west of the country, I investigated the Michigan University where lived Emily'Thomp- son. Never having been quite willing to go far from home, she had refused many offers of marriage, al- ways promising to be a 'csisterv tothe rejected, and had finally established herself as the Michigan Col- lege Widow. I Nearby, the flourishing town of Peoria invited me for a brief tour of its main buildings and sights of interest. There, on the very vehicle in which strangers rode to see these sights, did I find the once- diffident Lucile, a guide in the employ of the 'tPeoria Sight-Seeing Transit Company. - ' Between the central and far western portion of the country, I passed a nameless village, where was said to flourish, under the instruction of Eleanor Carroll, a Co-educational School, innocent of any discipline and of all purpose. I -I .1 I THE QUILL for 1916 Not far distant' from the school, and in the same neier-do-Well village, was an 'ardent disciple of Samuel Richardson, who wrote rhymed love-letters for the giddy young people in attendance at the above-mentioned school, and I learned thather name was still Julia Frankle. I In the yet-wild state of Nevada, I met a troupe of vaudeville artists- Qamong them a mesmerist and his adept partner, known in real life as Majel Reevej, which had been disbanded by a young circuit-rider, then holding Gospel Meetings in a rudely-erected tent on the main street. He had been bereft of one leg, when serving as lieutenant in the great European War, so he had as his very helpful aid his. meek, little Wife, nee Beatrice Payne. 'V Far down in the novv peaceful territory border- ing on the Mexican line, I was interested in calling upon the founder of a new Military Institute, which he and his Wife, Mrs. Martin, were so ably conducting. As I had begun my tour in the chill land of ice and everlasting night, it was altogether fitting that I end it in the land of everlasting youth. There, among the orange blossoms, I found Thelma Senior Uber, who having discovered matrimony a failure without three daily letters, had agreed to Mutual SepaI'aii0H so that she and her husband might carry on the inter- course so strongly encouraged during her school- days at Ossining. - . i Thus profitably did I find that the Oss1n1n8 Seniors of 1916 had used their training.

Tales of smugglers, bandits, and mysterious caves had lured him thither. One morning, as he was perched on a rock to read The Adventures of Captain Kidd, he was startled by a loud scream for help, in a high pitched, feminine voice. His frightened gaze saw a brown head, bob- bing above the waves. Flinging off his coat he plunged into the briny deep just in time to rescue a Melancholy Beauty. As he reached the shore with his burden, a Highly Educated Critic asked him why he was fishing out of season. Disclaiming a reply, he surrendered his unconscious maiden to the care of a Demure Modest Prisc2illa ' who had been ahorrified onlooker. Pushing his way through the crowd he over- heard a Ruthless Excitable Talker tell a Captivat- ing School-girl that a smuggler's cave had been discovered .................... That night, armed with a pistol and a dagger, he kept watch in the vicinity of the cave. In a few moments he saw a Reckless Emotional Bandit stealthily approaching. A smuggler stepped from the shadow of the cave, and the boy heard the two Plot' ting to abduct a Daring Society-Belle and HH Elusive Hysterical F lirt who would pass -that WHY one hour before midnight.

The news of this young man's daring feats of bravery had spread, and he was the idol of the com- munity. Fond mammas and pretty daughters wor- shipped him. He received countless delicately tinted and delightfully scented notes from unknown females proclaiming him their hero. It .became tiresome when an elderly lady with h-er Mighty Cute Niece followed him everywhere, and when an Animated Musical Dancer insisted on going into 'cllhapsodiesn at the sight of him. He was a modest young man and this attention annoyed him. He confided his troubles to an Ardent Riot Hater who gave him her heartfelt sympathy.

Soon after both old and new girls had settled earnestly to work, a sketching party visited the little Red House, where, as usual, many studies were made, showing how quickly the girls entered into the spirit of work. A few 'weeks later, we went to Nikko lnnf' here there was everything to sketch, from the little Japanese structure itself, surrounded by shadowy dark green pools, to the golden-brown foliage against a bright blue October sky. On the way home, a stop was made at the old Van Cortland Manor House. But the greatest treat of all was the day we went to Rock Ledge, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Arnold. Some of the finest views of the Hudson can be seen from their porches and lawns. Soon after the Christmas holidays, the classes in architecture and painting visited the Metropolitan Museum. Here we had the great pleasure of seeing an exhibition at the Architectural League. All were much interested in the modern paintings, espe- cially the works of Arthur Crisp, and the large mural painting of New York City Harbor. The beautiful Italian garden was a joy to remember. Cn February 12th, the Art Studio gave 2111 evening on Classic Art interpreted by sculpture and paintinv D' . The lecture on Spanish Paintingv by M155 Hellllie en Earl Wicks was greatly enjoyed. The class in History of Painting found the warm, rich Cclors of sunny Spain and its painters reminded them ot Rembrandt and his. golden tones. ' During the long period of work from early JHUU' 31'Y.llI1'til March, there were many heavy snow-stormS, Whlch QHVG new ideas to each girl, and a desire to become a XValter Palmer, at once.

Other posters were made tor the soeial events of the sehool. Among these lilllllj' lloysradt's were particularly fine. Many excellent drawings were submitted for the Year Book. The lfxhibition ot' American Sculpture at The Gorham Galleries was an event for the art students. All were impressed by the very artistie arrangement of the gallery. The National Academy Exhibition was the last great event ol' the season, almost equal in interest to the June Art Exhibition at Ossining,', towards which we all so earnestly worked. M. I.

Having impulsively used up the money sent by her .mother for the purchase of furnishings for her room, and expecting h-er mother soon, the girl resolves to call upon her various friends in this time of need so that she may borrow all sorts of furniture and trimmings from them.. The friends faithfully respond, and the effect upon the girl's mother and younger sister adds much to the liveliness of the play. Madge Apthorpe fschool girll ..........

People spoke again, breaking an eager stillness. It was matinee at the Theater Francais. In the seats, a vivacious audience gesticulated with that charm peculiarly French. Bearing trays of long pink glasses of claret, punch, the little ushers in exquisite shepherdess costumes, threaded their way prettily through the crowd. ' Behind the scenes, the stage manager shouted directions, while scenery was being rapidly shifted and changed. In the midst of this confusion, a mes- senger boy called loudly: Telegram for Percinetfff A beautiful little French figure detached itself from a group of admirers, and, without hesitation, took the yellow envelope from the messenger's hand. There was Va slight pucker between her brows, as she hastened down a long. row of dressing rooms, and finally knocked at the door of one. I Who is it? Entrez! came avoice from within. It is I, Sylvettej' she said, hurriedly opening the door, and standing with her hands behind her back, her- head tipped saucily. And what Heaven-sent angel has brought you to me, Sy1vette? The man who said this had stepped eagerly for- ward as she came in. There was the light in his eyes that had made him famous since he had joined her company, a month ago. , Raising her hand as if in warning as she saw lj11S eagerness, she merely advanced a little, and, Wlth hands thrust still 'further behind her back, said ten- tatively: I have something for you. S3 l1YIVll5 QUILL for 1916 --pm mg? Sylvette! W'hat could you have for me 'B ls it a glove,-a rose,-or is it- Not so fast, Percinet. It is this! and she laughed to see the disappointment in his face, as he took the telegram without looking at it. Sylvette,n-- llush! Percinet. You must hurry. Open it, so l may see, too. All unknowing, he opened it, Sylvette peeping merrily over his shoulder. From the stage came dull hammerings and grumbled orders. It was drawing perilously near the time for the curtain to go up on the last happy love scene. But in that little dressing room, nobody heard, nobody minded. A piece of yellow paper fluttered to the floor, unheeded. A man's face hlanched, and his shoulders heaved as he threw himself' into a chair. Some one knocked. A familiar voice called, You're on now, sir! ' Sylvette laid her hand on his shoulder gently. Come, she said, will you try-for me? 'The audience listened enraptured. All the romance in their every-day hearts was being satisfied hy tliis marvellous declaration of youth's passion. Young girls unconsciously grasped the arms of their comimanions. and fat dowagers sighed sentimentally. Ah! it' it were only that way, nowadays! But poor Percinet was saying to himself- I must do it for her. But it is so hard to thinkf' It seemed as if that act would never end, though always it had seemed so short. He looked into Sylvette's eyes and saw the pity there. I ean't do it! he said. It is too muchf' And with a look of shame, but utter heedlessness, he left the stage.

And Percinet appeared with the book. There was actually a twitter through the audience. The romantic charm was broken. To think of a man reading from print the passion that should have come from the ardor of love and youth! The audience quite turned up their noses. One was glad that men did not make love that way nowadays! 55 55 55 55 AG 56 ar. i Behind the scenes, Percinet had gone to his dress- ing room. 1 i Gardener and swordsman, minstrel and lady gathered in questioning condemnation. Percinet! What was the matter with him? Why was it that he had spoiled the play? He, who-- It was Sylvette, who explained and a hush fol- lowed. She must know. It was his brother, she said, who was younger than he, whom he loved, that has been killed in the great war. i Alice A. Acker. 85 THIS QUILL for 1916 Bittersweet UNIIC on in hyar, Pa. Hain't ye gonta eat nothin'? Ye go on back, Jed, an' shet up. I'll be comin' when l'm good an' ready. The grizzly old mountaineer did not even turn, as he spoke, to look at the anxious faced young boy whose lank figure was outlined in the one rude door of the old log cabin, but kept his head in his dirty tanned hands as before. The hoy turned and silently disappeared, but in a short time was back again. Aw, Pa, kain't ye eat nothin'? The old man turned fiercely, as if to strike, but his hand dropped and his face softened-if you could call his grim half smile soft. Why, Jed, I dunno but I will, senec ye're so sot on it, and he passed through the door. The man made a bare pretense of eatingg then arose and, taking his gun with him, went out to his solitary post on the stoop. The boy silently washed the few broken dishes, and cleaned the one room as best he could, when, stopping suddenly, he listened, an anxious expres- sion on his face. J ed ? XVhat, Pa ?

Air ye ready, boy? 86 THE QUILL for 1916 The two mountaineers rose to go into the house and the boy had reached the door, when the silence was broken by the sound of a bullet, and the dull thud of a body. He turned-a dirt and tobacco stained man, any- where from fifty to a hundred years old, slowly sauntered from out the bushes to the left of the shack. I reckon yeu don't wanter be killed, do ye, Jed? Now ef yelll jest be sensible, you won't make no fuss a-tall an' come to live with we all. We all ain't got no reason fer to shoot yeu-all we wanted wuz yer Pa, an' he's daid. Now yeu come along with old Peter Whitenby. Expression after expression passed across the listening boy's face-sorrow, grief, a fierce sort of anger, stubbornness, incredulity-all left a look of hopeless resignation. I'll come. Kain't ye wait? I'm a gonta bury Pa. Peter Whitenby stepped back into the bushes and waited. J J Finally, Jed came, and they went off together in' silence. J Jed seemed to be taken right into the Whitenhy family and, though of a rather taciturn nature. seemed to appreciate each kindness even beyond its worth.. He worked out in the fields with Peter and his sons, taking an occasional day off for a tramp or an apple bee at a nearby farm. The boys would go in to lunch, leaving Peter and Jed to finish up, and put the horse in the barn, for, in the afternoons, they worked at the distillery. One afternoon, in late October, Peter and Jed had gone to the barn, when Peter saw Jed staggcr, almost falling. He hastened to the rescue. A bitter smile curled the corners of J ed's mouth. Ye killed my Pai' he said. A shot rang out and the S0UUd Of running feet echoed through the empty bam- . Genevzeve Race. 87 THE QUILL for, 1916 Our Garden Our garden-plot is swept by Ill-1uck's wind QT he spot where J oyis most precious blossoms grewj And when the raging storm has passed, we find Where once were many flowers, oh so few Look up to greet no falling dews or rain, Hot suns, instead, send down a drought-Despair- The promised fruit is lost, nor borne again. Yet still may thrive a new spot doubly fair, If Care and Prudence will the young sprouts tend In richer soil, will sprinkle them with cheer And clip Regret's unwholesome weeds. They'll send To fruiting season, hardy plants-and there, Where Joy burst forth one time in tender shoots, Will Happiness cling fast with sturdier roots. 88 THE QUILL for 1916 But Phillis hath too hard a heart, Alas that she should have it. It yields no mercy to desert Nor grace to those that crave it. -Lodge. HE gardens and park adjoining St. James were often used for rendezvous. Sometimes a great lady, weary of the lights and gaiety of the palace, chose to walk with her lover among rosebushes and the fountains. Sometimes, a dispute, heated over the card tables and wine, grew into a quarrel, and the principals met in the park to terminate the disagreement as gentlemen of honor. The guards had grown accustomed to this order o-f the times, and were too wise to disturb either lonely couple or groups in the shadows. That was the reason why the single watcher was allowed to remain unnoticed. Wrapped in a heavy horseman's cloak, he seemed to have no desire other than to keep the freedom of the park, alone. Once, he lifted his dark lantern, and slid back the shade turning the light on the watch in his hand. The yellow glow at the same time lit up his face. Heavy eyebrows, sullen dark eyes, a well-formed nose, thin lips, and a heaxy chin, were for an instant illumined. A strong face, and yet--- The so-ft rustle of silk, a light step on the grass, and, with a low laugh, a girl brushed his shoulder with her hand. Dreaming, John? Or have the witches turned you to stone that you did not hear me coming? I vow I made such a clatter that I expected captain and guard would all be at my heelsf' Phillis! Both little hands were pressed to hiS lips. You have come at last. For a time, I feared that you could not get away. Your father has changed so since you came to town. Has he made you GDB' more trouble ?,' 89 THE QUILL for 1916 Oh, yes! 'Tis so good to be with you again, Jack. Father swears that if his grace asks my hand I must obey. It is terrible! All London is talking. Hush! Hush! Think not of it. You shan't marry him, if I have to kill twenty Dukes to free you. Kill the Duke! Her voice grew lower, more intense. Kill the Duke! Oh John, 'twould be such a relief'. I never told you, but, just at first, I was so flattered by his attentions to me-a simple maid just up from Surrey-that-that I wrote him some letters. He holds them over me now, and swears that unless I wed him, he'l1 shame me before all the court. I have forgot what I did write, but-- A The fellow shall pay for this with his life. I'l1 challenge- Not that! You must not challenge him, John. He would publish the news over the whole of England. Besides, he is a monstrous fine swordsman, and I would not have you hurt. VVhat then, sweetheart? Truly you would not let the man have his way. Quick suspicion made his voice harsh. . No, nog of course not, silly, but there are more quiet ways to silence him. Anyone but a lover might have detected a hint of anxiety in her tone. Meet hun any night, as he returns to his rooms. He always goes alone. 'Twould be easy enough, and thieves would bear the blamef' 90' THE QUILL for! 1916 Phillis, sternly, you do not counsel anything dishonorabl-e, surely. To attack an unsuspecting man savors of treachery. But for me, John! She pressed close to him, troubled dark eyes on his, red lips pursed in 3 half pout. cult will mean so much to me to be free from his persecutions-for me, dear. You have only to ask-that you know full well, but, in truth, I would rather fight fairly, not play the coward. She had won, and with a little sigh of relief sub- mitted herself to his caresses. After a brief planning, he left her. Phillis' face darkened as she watched the light from his lantern flickering through the trees, farther and farther away. 'Tis not all my faultj, she muttered. The fool played, right into my hands. I could not help it. The Duke should be here soon and I must warn him or- after all I am almost moved to let John win, and be plain Mistress John Carstone. Bah! what folly I am talking. I have taken the first step and must go on. 'Twould not beso hard, did not the fool really love me. Ah!,' I She turned swiftly to face another man. Very different from her late companion was the Kings favorite, in white satin and jewels, his fair hair curl- ing about his face. So you are here, my pretty Phillis, and have not tricked me againj, he cried gaily, as he bowed over her extended hands. But you are cold, ma chore. you tremble! Are you afraid of the darkness ? 91 'run QUILL for 1916 No, no, Your Grace, but I have been so fright- ened. I came here early, thinking to be alone awhile, and, as I waited, two men talked on the other side of the hedge. They planned an attack, my lord, as you leave the palace tonight. I was so frightened. You will he careful, will you not, for- She paused, and, in the pale moonlight, her color slowly rose, mautling the white shoulders and throat. Why were you afraid, sweetheart? Didstfear they would discover you ? Her hands still in his, he drew her nearer. Xo! The ribbons on her breast rose and fell quickly. I was not afraid for myselflv For me, then, Phillis ? No answer. Her head dropped a little, but she did not draw away. Does silence give consent, you little coward? Art a feared to say it? Come back with me, and let us see if the lights of St. James do not revive your courage. The wind sighed for a time in the trees, then whistled away to peep in at the palace windows, where the court drank the health of the Duke of Rochester and his betrothed. Wearying of the scene, the wind was off again, howling about the heath where a lonely watcher waited for the ball to break up. '5 it 'F r is as -is an 92 THE Q,UILL for 1916 Court was in session and all the London fair chose to attend the meeting. A most shocking attempt had been made to murder the Duke of Rochester and the man was even now daring to combat his fate. At times, the long discussions had grown a little weari- some, but since Mistress Phillis Alison had get the fashion, they must follow. Today was the end of the trial, and there was a breathless pause, as the judge rose to announce the sentence. To be sure everyone knew the King's will, but there was an intense silence throughout the gallery, where fashion sat enthroned. Gallant beau and simpering beauty forgot for the moment their part in the play, and sat breathless with eyes fixed on the prisoner. The judge's droning voice ceased at last with the customary question: Have you anything you 'wish to say before you die ? To the surprise of all present, the prisoner rose. T Yes, your honor. Turning with a low bow toward the balcony he fixed his eyes on the face he had once loved. You willpardon, I trust, an addi- tion to an old proverb. This, however, is my expe- rience. 'Put not your trust in princes-or women '. Something cracked in the stillness, and the ivory sticks of Phillis' fan fell to the floor, crushed. Then. with a gay laugh, she turned to face her friends The prisoner chooses to be facetiousj' she said. as she gave her hand to her fiance. Margaret Naramore. 93 'rite QUILL for 1916 Fate IQTTY was as happy as even Betty could be. She may have been a bit emotional, one day in the seventh heaven, the next in the darkest of blues, but just now she was unmistakably radiant. The cause of all this sudden exuberance were two letters, or rather one letter. for it was one especially that caused her excitement. This came from Ted Rogers-Ted, who had first met Betty seated in front of her grand- father's house, and making mud pies. He was now writing to invite her to the Commencement Prom, so Betty immediately sat down to tell her old com- panion how much pleasure his letter had given, and how glad she would be to see him again. The other letter also contained an invitation for the same date. This came from Ted VVells, a junior in another col- lege. who had just lately came to live next door to Betty. She declined this briefly, and had just fin- ished addressing the two envelopes when the bell rang, and she had to rush for a class. As she ran out of the door, she called to her room-mate, asking her to seal the two letters and mail them. Her room- mate, who was also in a hurry, picked up one letter headed Dear Ted, and pushed it into the envelope addressed to Ml: Theodore Rogersf' never noticing that hotli letters were headed in exactly the same XYZIV. And so it happened that the next day Ted Rogers received the following: Dear Ted, Thank you so much for remembering me, but I am SUITS' t0 Say that a previous engagement forces me to decline Your very kind invitation. Sincerely, whrlt I I . Elizabeth Craig. ro-road it Cgutptliis mean? Poor Ted read. it and bpm ' 1 C 5 lad never been so formal with him re. anc she had always signed her letters Betty. 94 THE QUILL for 1916 But when he went home the next week-end things seemed to grow clearer. Just as he jumped off the train he bumped into Ted Wells, whom he knew slightly. r ' p Hello, Rogers! Glad to see you. Hear you had a great game last Saturday. By the way, I'm going to take that friend of yours, Miss Craig, to our prom next' Friday. Didn't think I could get her. Don't you think I'm lucky ? Rogers agreed to this last, but as soon as they had parted he thought to himself, SO that's the reason Betty's so formal. Well, I always knew girls fell for the newest acquaintance, but I never thought it of Betty. He did not know, poor fellow, that fate had been contrary, and had suc- ceeded in making a fine 'tangle in this case. At last the eventful night arrived, and Betty was delightfully excited, in fact, ever since she had re- ceived Ted's letter, she had talked of nothing but the prom. Finally, the train stopped at the station, and Betty, little dreaming of the disappointment in store, stepped to the platform, expecting to find Ted ready to meet her. -But he was not to be seen. After wait- ing for almost an hour, trying to tell herself some- thing must have delayed Ted, a tired, hungry, deep- ly dejected Betty took the train home. At the same time, a young man, who had also waited at another station, for almost an hour, went back to his room in a furious temper, saying girls were heartless, and thinking not exactly pleasant things about one girl in particular. Meanwhile, Ted Rogers had stayed away from the prom at his college to sit gloomily in his room, declaring he would never give Betty Gay another invitation. Thus the long friendship was broken. How it was made UP ag-am is another story. I E C I ' He en . adm- 95 THE QUILLI for 1916 When Theenie's Ship Came In A dismal September 'rain .was steadily soaking the old dock. Except for a sailor or two on a ship alongside, there was no one out risking a wetting, until a giant umbrella blew out to the edge of the wharf, where it silhouetted itself against the rain. Chasing after it bounded a curly, mustard colored terrier. Bow, wow, barked the dog, Chita, in pre- tended surprise at finding his commander-in-chief, Theenie, hunched up under the familiar leaky um- brella. Towheaded Theenie was watching for his ship. T wenty-four days he had stoically watched there, as religiously as though he thought watching would bring it. ' I g Reddy, a warlike Irishman aged ten, and a rag- ged whisp of a girl drifted out toward the umbrella. Aw, I jist know that that kid Theenie and his mangy dog are sitting under that there umbrella. Them swell guys, them officers on the battleship don't want you two castoffs fer mascots any more. You's too big to be a baby and you aint big enough to be a boy. You can't fight. You got left to home, boasted Reddy of many battles. . I The umbrella tipped impetuously overboard. Theenie, in smouldering anger and silence shot a Plldgy, .dirty fist into IReddy's stomach. Chita, wrig- glingcwith excitement, pitched into the fray likewise. Time! T'ain't fair. Call off your dog, remon- strated he of the red hair. GO home, Chitaf, Chita obeyed dejeetedly. He loved a fight as well as the Irishman, but hehad been dlsciplined in the Navy. The battle was resumed- Th99.1116,.the peaceful, the bashful fought bravely but unscientifically for the honor of his battleship.

On the quarterdeck the ' ' amused captain and his mate, through their field glasses, had been watch- ing the pitched battle. T he kidis all right, declared the captain, even if heis too little to whip every Pat and Mike that comes along. The ship won't takeanother trip with- out him and his dog for mascots. We haven't had any ,decent weather or any luck at target practice since We left him ashore for his old aunt to educate. Educate,,' sniffed the mate, weren,t we educat- ing him all right? We'l1 have him back or mutiny. Corrinne Thrall 9 7 THE QUILL for 1916 Zeb Carter's Automobile From the Standpoint of Eliza Jones: I rode in a real automobile to-day! It belonged to Zeb Carter! I was on the Way to the Epworth League Bake-Sale, when I looked up and-there came Zeb Carter down the road 'lickety-split' in a real automobile! It was as shiny as a black cat's eye, and went pretty near as' fast as the wind! I started to cross the street, so that he would surely see me and he stopped that machine and called to me to get in. Of course, I just ran across the street, and climbed in the front seat. Zeb started up the engine which made a wonderful big noise so that all the people in Mr. Brown's store came out to look at us. When the car fZeb says 'car' is more stylish than 'auto- mobile'J started, it jerked my hat nearly off, but after it was going, it was wonderful!

Just before dark, one night, Miss Varley and Miss Drost stole from the school, even though the sky was a study in Brown. They hurried over valley and Underhill and soon stopped at a winding and Bent-ley to bathe their faces, and drink ofthe nearby stream. Now the cause of their quick ,departure is hardly one that they would con- fide to the pupils placed under their charge. Buy means of Graff-t they appropriated the missionary funds, An-Drew at check. No-w, with a guilty con- science, they hid in the shrubbery near the stream. Soon they heard the cracking of underbrush, then the heavy tread of a man. Then, alight flashed, and they crouched closer together. They managed to get up courage, peered out and saw a 'Provost with a club and lantern searching in all the dark corners, creat- ing a most Rembrandt-like effect. Thanks to the oil giving out, the brilliant light flashing from the Wicks flickered and was gone., The Provost, Fuller than usual strolled out into the darkness. Shivering with fright, they at last repented the crime they had attempted, but stayed in this miserable place until they saw bright colors resting on the near mountain top, and they heard the Phebe singing on a high bough. Then, summoning up their courage, they crept forth to return home. 'Coming down the road, they saw Thompson, a French Percin, returning from the grocery store with Hammond eggs.

Responsive as the wind harp to the wind, its wonderful mechanism has an almost human understanding of every mood.

In craftsmanship, the Steinway is as near perfection as human skill can make it. And here is a fact for your consideration: you can buy a Steinway, with all its superior worth. at a moderate price and on convenient terms.
