THE QUILL for 1916 in S-Capades of the Specials N Energetic Popular Fellow just out of college and in search of adventure, decided to spend his summer on the rocky coast of Maine. 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 QUILL for 1916 other encounter with more bandits and smugglersg they met no one but an Attractive J aunty Enthusiast on the subject of tennis and a Kissable Curly Doll who were taking -a moonlight stroll. 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. He told her that an Engaging Kid, and even her friend who was Constantly Ba'shful sent him roses every morning. An Am1ia.ble Giggler and a Merry Energetic young thing .smirked at him, in the halls. In fact it was all unbearable, and he intended leaving the next day. The next day came, but he did not leave. He had met a Jolly Wilful Peorian whose breezy western ways had completely captured his heart. She never alluded to his heroism. One day, as they sat on the rock by the waves where his deeds of valor had commenced he told her he loved her,-another courageous act! They were married and, I believe, spend every summer on the coast of Maine. Old girls . School days Spreads Initiation New York Impoverishment Noise Graduation 57 t
