I saw a thinj of greenish hue, I tho ' t it was a plot of grass; But when to it I closer drew I found it was the Freshman Class. The Old North State is well represented in the Freshman Class of ' 07; there being sixteen Tarheels, one Floridian, one New Yorker, and one South Carolinian. However, Annette, Eleanoire and I think we make up for quantity in quality, don ' t we. girls? In intellect and good common sense Jennie (a true Tarheel ) easily stands at the head. Flora 4s the beautT or the ' class, and Adeline and Mary are the inseparable twins; Prances almost makes a trio. Laurie is the very personifica- tion of unselfishness; and where could one find a more modest little flower than Bettie! Margaret of the Madonna face, good-natured Marjorie and bright Pattie arc popular with all the girls, and Bessie and Eleanoire are our singing birds. Mary and Annette are very faithful and conscientious followers of Mr. Brawley and do justice to his teachings. Blanche is the dear little girl who has so many cases that, to keep up with them, she has to number them; and Frances is the baby in size and age only, for she has a bright and active mind in that little head of hers. Minnie is never happy unless hovering around a certain Senior, and Elizabeth — well, Elizabeth is just little gypsy-eyed Elizabeth, and as for me, I ' m nothing but a plain loyal South Carolinian, a lover of North Carolina, too, and a great admirer of the Tarheels. We feel that we have grown in experience and intellect this year; and now, on the verge of Sophomoredom, feel very learned indeed. In fact, we wonder that anyone could ever have called us fresh and green; altho ' we admit that, at first, we were a little (?) homesick and inexperienced. However, our beloved Miss Nannie, who is always a champion for the babies, has been .sweet and nice to us, sympathizing with our blues and not allowing the big girls to tease us too much. We realize that we are very ignorant in many fields of learning (in fact this year has taught us how little we do know) but conquering, we grow strong; and we feel that wc have overcome many obstacles and learned a great deal that will be of service to us as Sophomores.

Time— Early Fall. Scene — A loaded trainfull of homesick school girls and boys. At the far end of the car sit eleven naughtv girls. One is trying to console her homesick sister who is a green looking Freshman. The other ten are making the best of their time. Various remarks are heard — such as Oh, goodness, back to the penitentiary again, Beefsteak three times a day, Look, Mary, isn ' t that a cute boy up yonder, he smiled at me just now — Yes, dead cute, but he can ' t touch the one across the aisle with those beautiful blue eyes, and Oh, dear, we won ' t see another boy till Christmas. The door opens and the conductor pokes his head in calling out Raleigh, Raleigh, — all oflf for Raleigh. Oh, dear, we are back at prison, comes in a chorus from the whole eleven. And we won ' t have anything to eat but beefsteak, sister savs wailed the little freshman. Oh, goodness, look Myrtle, yonder is Mr. Dinwiddie! And the eleven go toward the carriages reserved for Peace and are borne swiftly out of sight. Act II. Time — Just after the Christmas Holidays. Scene — The room of the President of the Class of ' eg. Books and pillows are scattered about in confusion. Girls are poring over a much bethumbed Algebra — all but Julia, who is scrambling eggs in a tin bucket over the gas. A sigh comes from Hilda, Oh me, I just can ' t get this Math. I wish I were home again. This time last week I was talking to the nicest boy in the world. And I was just promising-er-er — well it doesn ' t mat- ter what I was promising, but it was something mighty nice, Mary says. I wasn ' t cooking eggs in a bucket, either. I was eating Huyler ' s that my best — well-er — my best friend sent me, wails Julia. Oh Mary, do you remember the cute boy I showed you on the train when we came in the fall ? I met him Christmas and he ' s a darling. At this juncture the eggs are finished and passed around. There is silence for a few minutes while the girls eat. Then the conversation begins again. All at once a bell rings. The girls jump up, knocking over inkstands, glasses and other things, exclaiming Goodness, that ' s the light bell and I haven ' t worked a single Math problem nor looked at my English. Sh-h- from Mary there comes the duty teacher, you all must stay in here till she passes. All roll under the bed, jump in the closet or any- other place of concealment. Lights out, girls, comes from the hall. Out goes the light and all is silent, save for one or two .suppressed giggles from under the bed. 18 Act III. Time — Mav 2 2d — last day of school. Scene — The Chapel. While the diplomas are being presented, with appropriate remarks, to the Seniors, in the back of the room sit eleven admiring girls, with wide open mouths and eves dilated with awe. Minnie punches Katie, In two more vears we ' ll get our sheepskins. Sh-h-you mustn ' t talk savs the dignified president. At last all the diplomas are presented. One by one the girls file out. The class of ' og retires to its favorite meeting place. Well, we leave in a few hours now, — oh joy! — says Celestia. It wouldn ' t be ' oh, joy! ' if you had a friend that ' s a Senior wails Mary Corbett. A general laugh is heard at this for all know Mary ' s weakness for a certain Senior. Well, I suppose vou ' ll all be back next year, and its a consolation to know we ' ll see each other again, says Ada. You can say what you please about dea r old Peace and it mav seem like a prison sometimes, but I would hate to be leaving it for good and all. So would I comes in chorus from the whole eleven — Mr. Dinwiddle ' s voice is heard calling to the girls, If you girls want to get off on the next train vou had better get your hats. The .girls scattered to meet again in a few minutes with hats and grips ready to go home at last. There is a general hugging and kissing. Good- bye Marshall! Goodbye Katie, darling! I ' ll see vou next vear, Julia. Goodbye! Goodbye! And the girls are gone till next fall when thev will meet again at dear old Peace. M. C. W. ' oQ Class of 1908.

On the fifteenth of September, 1904, the people of our capital city were sorely distressed over the condition of their town. From the amount of salt water rushing down its streets, one would have thought Raleigh was Venice in ruins. The sound of the mighty howling waters rushing with accelerated velocity down the principal thoroughfares terrified the inhabitants to such an extent that, for the moment, they forgot that this was the annual overflow of tears from the Freshman entering Peace. When the eyes of these poor little Freshies had recovered from the red stage and had resumed thei r natural color (green), they were taken over to several Dress Parades in West Raleigh. Great benefit was derived from these visits, and the soldier-like attitude of the A. and M. ' ers encouraged them to keep a stift upper lip and bear the taunts of their deadly enemies — the Sophomores. When the aniversary of the direful calamity of 1904 came ' round, the citizens of Raleigh were in a state of horrible suspense, for the Weather Bureau had predicted a repetition of the preceding flood. But their prayers were answered, and, instead of the destructive torrents, there came a gentle shower of fresh water. Mother earth held up her head to receive the sparkling drops as they fell ; the trees held up their leaflets to be refreshed; the whole citv rejoiced in the great benefit rendered it. The few tears shed in secret by the little Freshmen return- ing to Peace as Sophomores were soon brushed away, and, from the Freshman ' s point of view, those big headed Sophs were too hardened in their mischief and meaness to have a tender feeling much less to weep. Nineteen-six rolls around — opening day at Peace — hot and sultry. The lowering clouds suggest to the Raleighites that something unusual has hap- pened, but it takes wise people to know that the big headed Sophs are back once more as haughty Juniors. They are at last too dignified to cry, and it is only the thought of leaving home that clouds their horizon. They feel that by hard work they are nearing the goal long desired, and they hope that next year, as Seniors, their clouds may disperse and disclose a glorious sun. dXass of 1907.

I have been here a long time, and have heard manv strange and wonderful things from those creatures called girls, who live in that big house vonder. It has been about four years ago now since I heard one girl sav to another who was working my handle, — Oh, child, aren ' t you glad we have organized our class? It seems so grand somehow to be able to say you are a member of the class of ' 07. ' I ' m just crazy ' bout it! Now that speech worried me, for I must confess I didn ' t know what thev meant by organize, or bv class of ■07 either. However, by listenmg to many conversations carried on near me, I understood that organize means to decide what colors and flowers vou like best, and class of ' 07 means ' the (jnly class that ever was. I certainly was glad to know, for that helped me a great deal in getting a meaning from other things I heard. .3.3 Those poor members of that wonderful class! Thev must have Ijeen awful sorry for something, for sometimes in the night I could hear sobs coming from those second-story windows nearest me, and f tried mv best to moan in sympathy. I wonder if they ever heard me ? I heard one of the maids say one day that, she never saw anybody study so hard as these Freshmen did in all her life. Said, they were so afraid of bad marks that they would sit up long after light bell and study by candle light. I am lonesome in the summer time for, though the girls bother me a lot when they are here. I miss them sadly when thev are gone. When those same Freshmen came back the next September, strange things happened: they were glad to be here; kissed everybody that came; didn ' t ever cry; changed their name to Sophomores; and, (let me whisper it I), quit studying so hard ! They had glorious times wherever they went, and I thought thev would never tire of talking of their trip to the I ' air. They never went down town that they did not come back loaded down with bundles, — bundles that they wer e careful to hide from a certain tall ladv. It really was queer how their attitudes toward marks changed. One of them said one day, Didn ' t you make 80 on Soph History? You smart child! I was real proud of m - 75. I couldn ' t help wondering if that was the same girl I had heard crying the year before, because she only made qo on some studv when she had tried so hard for 95. When these same girls became Juniors, they changed their minds again and decided they had better study some more. I heard one of them say they had nearly worn out the reference books in the librarv, looking up men, battles, cir- cumstances, everything, for some exacting ladv. I think the girls were fond of me; ' tis true they often sat upon me. but there were always many who stood by me, and there were few secrets that I did not, sooner or later, hear in some way. However, toward the end of that vear, their conversations were so mixed up with poetry that they became not quite so inter- esting as usual. I wished they had talked more and quoted less. I like Juniors, they are so much more sensible than either Freshmen or Soph- omores. But Seniors, how can I describe them? You know that is the name of the class of ' 07 this year. I see a great deal of them for they certainly do like to drink water here lately. They have made their dresses long, put their hair up, and thev trv their best to look dignified. They talk knowingly of Browning, The Analogy of But- 34 ler, Logarithms, and Diplomas. I understand that the last-named is their reward for staving here so long. It must be something of great value, for thev do manv unpleasant things, rather than forfeit it. They sav it is not manv davs now until thev will be gone from Peace forever. I shall be sorry; but I have no time to grieve, for, as I have heard manv of this same class say, Girls may come and girls mav go, but I go on forever. Historian. A Wreath. As in Spring by wood and stream, Maidens twine the daisy-chain. Weaving m bright hope and dream Mingling with youth ' s tender pain; So we make a wreath of tears, Brightest joy and tendcrest love. All the glories of- these years — Years that point to heights above. May these blossoms know no fading. May our garland e ' er be fair — Deep regret and wild hopes shading, Buds that open in Victorv ' s glare. Sad our hearts— this chain is ended, Roses, though, we ' ll weave elsewhere.- Strive to make our lives as splendid As we fondly planned them here. Cl. ude B. Caldwell. A Glimpse Into the Future.

Where noble thoughts have spi ung to life; where men Who spoke a nation ' s language and whose pen Swayed thousands with the sudden, deep desire To be and do ; where burned the altar-fire Of some loved hero that has found his rest; Where feet ahaste towards noble deeds have pressed, There through ensuing years the pilgrims throng To hear the echo of a silenced song. Each path is sacred to the memory Oi genius victor: ever ' vine and tree That knew the hero ' s presence doth partake Of comelier seeming for his greatness ' sake. Mt.

Would they could have staved with us ' 45 His Long Summer-time. The Autumn winds had touched the woods With golden hues and red, And o ' er the ground about our feet The dusky leaves were spread; And round the mossy broken trunks Were piled the gleanings rare To make within them cosv nests Where once ' twas cold and bare. To one of these a bird returned When day was growing gray, Heralded by rustling leaves that sang Him many a virelay. For was he not the leader bold Of all birds that would flv At the first faint peep of ' morrow ' s sun In the shadow-girded skv ? But now he would bide in the forest old. Though winged for the stormy flight ; And was sad as he mused in his billowv nest, And watched through the lonelv night: He thought of many a weary league He had led when the skies were gray, And h(jw he had marshaled his troops afar Through many an Autumn dav. Ah! then his skies had been bright and clear. And his spirit strong and bold. But bitter the thought of flight to-day, Now he was worn and old; And he longed to rest in his forest home, Though the boding winds complain. For no shining sun of a warmer clime Could lure his heart again. And so he slept through the long, long night. And the blasts were fierce and wild — Then softly fell, and whispered low Like the prayer of a little child; And his glorious dream was not a dream Of a visionarv clime. For his soul, long used to grief and pain. Had waked to its Summer-time. AlLSTOX V. D. RGA The School of Expression, Miss Martha M. Fowlkes, Instructor.

When the bell rings for half-past seven The animals come in two bv two — The hippo-po-tamus and the kee-kang-garoo. After Mr. Brawley has brought in enough extra chairs and they have all been fitted into their places, the doors are closed and wet clav is put in all the cracks, over the doors and windows. Thus the room is made air tight. The usual capers are cut by the President; then a wee small voice is heard. Upon investigation little Miss Mabel Royster is discovered standing with a paper trembling in her hands. She braces herself, and in soft low tones reads the min- utes of the last meeting and dwells upon the most important decisions as follows : ist. — The girls shall be required to walk to Milburnie and back, or an equiv- alent distance of twelve miles each day. tMso thev must practice at the usual hours during examinations, so as to lose no time. (Proposed by Miss Clark.) 2nd. — The girls shall be allowed to skip and yell and make all the noise thev wish, provided they do it quietly. (Proposed by Miss Luitweiler.) 3rd. — Everytime there is a holiday the girls shall be given the following dav in which to rest. (Proposed by Mr. Stockard.) 4th. — They shall — Pardon me, Miss Royster, but don ' t j ' ou think we had better omit the re-reading of these as there is so much else to be considered? Very well, Miss Nannie, and with this little Miss Mabel bounces into her seat and sits down. A great commotion and Mr. Dinwiddle comes to the front: Are we ready for further business? Is there any matter of importance to be discussed? Well, Miss Z) );widdie, the girls on the hall are in the habit of talking across from one room to another; and Miss Diiiwiddie is that allowed? Yes, Miss Buquo, that is perfectly proper. They have always done so, and I have never heard any complaint on the part of the pupils. But Miss D nwiddie, they even sit out on the trunks and converse, and is that also allowed? Yes, my dear. Has any one else a question? All at once and nothing first something tumbles from the sofa in the rear of the room, which, after rolling into the middle of the floor, is perceived to be Miss Clark. 53 Well now, up North you know we — oh. but before I forget it I want to suggest this. The girls just will not take the teachers with them to the North Side often enough. After working hard all day. we should be entitled to more drinks than we ' ve been getting. Why. do you know, I never get over five an afternoon! Then, too, I think the girls need more pickles and potted meats than they ' ve been eating, so I propose that a party be taken down every half hour in the afternoon will l)e willing to go with each partv. What do you people sav. ' Knuwmg that there is nothing else to do evervbodv agrees. Looking as though she was stepping from the page of the New York Journal Miss Fowlkes comes forth: I do not like to be continuously complaining, but when things go so far as this, I feel that I must. I ' ve been teaching twenty-three years now, and never before have I been treated with such disrespect. It is just this. — Evervtime the girls see me coming, they have a way of seizing an atom of air in their fingers and then releasing it with violent force. I did not understand such behavior at all until Clara privately informed me that thev were imitating mel I was perfectlv astonished, and furthermore. I was indignant! A burst of laughter startles everyone, and they turn to see Mr. Brawlev ' making it known by the usual sign. ' Miss Luitwieler thinking to console says; Oh, Miss Fowlkes. don ' t worn.- about that — Clara makes ' immense great biy ' mistakes sometimes. I will attend to this at once, replies Miss Nannie. Mr. Dmwiddie begins to twist and turn in his chair and finally savs: Miss Buquo, I will have to ask you and Miss Clark to refrain from disturbing the meet- ing by undue talking. What next? Equal to all occasions. Miss Edith Rovster, smiling and bowing, takes the floor: I am not capable of judging what the rest of 5-ou may think concerning this little scheme of mine, but to me it is an intensely interesting subject. It is this. The students should be given the privilege of contributing at least three dollars and thirty-seven cents each for the purpose of procuring a more varied collection of reference books bearing upon English Historv and Pedagogy-, to be duly installed in the library for the special use of those young ladies seeking a fuller develop- ment of the intellect. What do you say ? I will leave you in a state of suspended judgment. Miss Parker opposes saying: No! No! the ' liberrv ' doesn ' t need that money! Give it to the Laboratory by all means! Why, we need a Telescope, an Astral Lantern and a — my ! my ! what is it we don ' t need ! To avoid friction. Miss Nannie suggests that this discussion be deferred. A loud knocking at the door. To Mr. Dinwiddie ' s Come in, Millie enters and announces a ' phone message for Mr. Stockard. With this our beloved 54 teacher of English squeezes through the scarcely open door. In a few minutes he returns to the opening and says: My good friends, I hope you will pardon this interruption, but I am compelled to leave you. Anything vou may propose will meet with my approval. In an uncomfortable, high, straight-back chair Miss Abernethy is sighing: Oh that I, too, might get a ' phone message. At this instant Mrs. Omdorff ascends into the air and her musical notes ring out into the mud-and-water atmosphere: Miss Nannie, don ' t you think it would be better to give the girls about fifteen minutes before light bell to visit their cases, so that — Miss Clark interrupts: Why I never heard of that ! Up Xorth we — so that we teachers won ' t have to hurrv from Mr. Brawlev ' s studio feasts before room-bell for the girls to kiss us good-night continues Mrs. Omdorff. Miss Jones ' face begins to beam — now it is wreathed in smiles — she is smiling her approbation ! Miss Nannie arises to expres her opinion, but what is that! Listen! — Toot-toot-toot! ' ! Bum! Bum! Bum! Ruber-dub-dub ! Ruber-dub-dub! A and M ! Hoooo-o-o-o-e-e-e-e-e ! I ! ! ! And everj ' body-efjn the teachers makes a rush for the porch. M. Griffin. Abandoned. It had been one of the hardest years of my hfe. The Httle New York town in which I was working had only two attorneys and we had been rushed to death for many months. When the warm summer days came on, my tired brain refused to work, and the doctors advised me to go to some quiet place for rest. A friend told me of a pleasant secluded summer resort in southern Virginia; and, as I had heard much of the climate of that section, I immediately decided to go. The next day about dusk I found myself standing on the plat-form of the little station. I stood there, half in a dream, and watched the last curl of smoke from the old train break off and disappear m the clouds. Turning to a by-stander, I enquired the way to a Ijoarding-house. It was a small village, indeed, with only a few houses and one hotel. The boarders were dull and seemed to care for noth- ing but reading, so, to pass away my time, I took long tramps in exploring the country. One place that excited my interest most was an old colonial home- stead which sat about a half mile back from the cross-roads. The drive that led up to it was shadowed by over-arching lindens. The house was weather-beaten and with its Doric columns presented a dismal aspect. At one side was an old grave yard, around which was a high rock wall, partially, covered with honey- suckle. The white and gray tomb-stones glimmering through the shrubbery look- ed like ghosts. Late one day on starting back from one of my walks I dropped down at the cross-roads to rest. It was a hot August afternoon; everything was still, save now and then the cry of a screech-owl that came faintly from the twilight gloom of the distant woods. The air seemed full of some narcotic, and I must have been fully under its influ- ence. However, my doze was soon broken by a whistle. On openmg my eyes, I saw a shabby, half-grown boy, who earned a fishing-pole and a small string of fish, lazily sauntering up the road. I asked hnn who owned the old home-stead back there. His eyes immediately brightened and sitting down on a log he entered readily upon its history. ••Mister, ' tam t nothin ' but ghosts thar. You couldn ' t git me ter ' pass that place after dark for the house an ' whole plantation. The ol ' man what last lived thar is buried in that grave yard, ' long side two o ' the people he killed. At nights, ha ' nts wid no heads go all ' round that yard. •• Onct a rich man an ' his wife lived up thar. Ev ' ry day he wuz in the habit o ' ridin ' over the plantation an ' one mornin ' he wuz picked up dead, right out heer in these woods. He alius wo ' a gold-face watch an ' when they foun ' him the watch won ' t no whar on his body. They got blood-hounds from Riehmon ' an ' searched every-whar fur the murderer. The dogs alius tracked him to a cabin on a ' ' jmin ' plantation, but could never trace him no farther. Not long after that, a nigger wuz foun ' dead in the mill pon ' down thar whar I ' ve been a-fishin ' . This cauL more ' spicion, an ' then they foun ' that the ol ' cabin had a cellah under it. Put- tin ' two an ' two ter-gether, they decided that somebody paid the nigger tcr do the kilhn ' an ' , after keepin ' him in the cellah a while, got ' fraid o ' his tellin ' an ' drown- ed him. ' ' By an ' by, the man what lived over on that plantation married this widder. They lived up thar in that house an ' things went smooth fur a while, but he wuz a mighty curi ' us ol ' man. ••One thing he never did wuz ter let no-body see in a certain one o ' the drawers o- his desk. He alius kept this drawer locked wid the key in his pocket. One day, while he wuz sittin ' thar at the desk, a neighbor rode up ter the front gate an ' called. He jumped up an ' ran out, for-gittm ' ter lock the drawer. Well, as the ol ' saym ' is, women have a mighty heap o ' curiosity. When he 57 stepped out, his wife went over an ' looked in the drawer, an ' what did she see but her dead husband ' s watch. When he come back an ' foun ' out she had been in this drawer ' twan ' t much more peace in that house. A few days after that she wuz foun ' dead. Yes, mister, that place is jes like it looks — it ' s ha ' nted. After tellmg his story, the boy got up and shuffled on his way, leavmg me gazing upon the old place and pondering over its dark tragedies. The sun sank behind the woods and in the fast falling twilight the tomb-stones seemed to gently sway. Among them the wandermg fireflies lit their phantom lamps; and, rising with a shiver, I hurried, with never a backward glance, on to the hotel. Sallie Boyd Cole. 58 Athletic Association, ' Ob- ' O?.

A True Incident. So Ross, you are going to visit the Yankees, are you? Yes. You examine those bridges and then meet me at the big oak. I ' ll be back before long. If you come back at all. It ' s a dangerous job, old fellow — and in broad day- light. Not in the least. My Federal uniform fits me to a T and I can r-r-roU my r ' s. But likely as not they won ' t be discussing it. Don ' t arouse suspicion by asking questions. Never you mind, I ' ve two bottles with me, and I never saw the army yet, but had a man that would accept a drink; and I never saw the drunken man, but had a few things to tell. Just take my word for it, Wade Hampton shall have that whole drove of cattle! With this emphatic declaration, the voung scout wheeled his horse and started off. A year before, he had begun his adventures by running awav from college and joining the army. He had since gained reputation by his daring and skill in strategy. Gen. Hampton favored him, entrusting to him matters of importance. On this occasion the general was anxious to get some cattle that belonged to a Northern army encamped near there. Young Ross was sent to find out where the cattle were kept and how well guarded. He had not gone far when, amidst a cloud of dust, several mounted figures dashed through a gate, some distance ahead, and started down the road toward him. He immediately spurred his horse over the fence toward a cluster of bushes ; but the next instant showed the foremost rider to be a girl with a broad-brimmed sailor hat, from which long streamers fluttered. Behind her rode several ladies and gentlemen. Back over the fence he came and started on his way again. As the riding partv drew nearer, the leading young lady reigned her horse, as if waiting for the others. The scout, also, felt an impulse to ride slowly, his eyes fastened on the picture before him. Masses of light curls waved under the blue sailor, and from the sweet face he was was conscious of a pair of merry blue eves smiling at him. The cuff s of her white waist were covered by large, brown riding gloves ; her long, blue skirt hung in graceful folds; and she sat on her horse with the utmost ease, hold- ing the reins carelessly. Are you a Southern soldier? she asked, bringing her horse to a full halt. I claim that honor, he assented with a thrill of pleasant excitement. Why don ' t you wear a uniform? she demanded, sweeping him with a curious glance. My uniform needs mending. Embarrassment prevented his thinking of a better excuse. Have you a mother, at home? she asked with lively interest. Yes. And sisters? No. What is your name? 64 The soldier shifted uneasily, Have some Yankees sent her to catechise me? he wondered. But another look at the frank face quieted the suspicion. Just then a gentleman of the party came to his rescue. Laura, you oughtn ' t to ask his name; maybe he doesn ' t want to tell. O, brother, he doesn ' t mind telling — do you? she said, turning to Ross. Stop, Laura. insisted her brother, he may be a scout. She clapped her hands in glee. Lor ' , I ' d rather see a scout than anvthmg in the world! she exclaimed vivaciously. An involuntary laugh from the young man w,-is the only reply. Are you a scout ? If I were, do you think I ' d be discussing it here? he answered evasively. But are you? Just say yes or no. Don ' t, Laura, it ' s against orders for him to tell, said the gentleman at her side She brought her horse up beside the soldier ' s, and leaning fonvard, said with an entreating smile, Tell me; I won ' t tell anybody. But suppose I have orders not to tell? Have you? she cried in childish enthusiasm. Her friends laughed. Laura, do hold up! interposed one of the young ladies. Tell me, I won ' t tell anybody, begged Laura, heedless of the others. She scrutinized the soldier ' s face, tr -ing to see if there were anything unusual in his appearance, . fire with curiosity, she said in almost a whisper, Just tell me — I ' ll never tell! Tell her, if you want any peace, exclaimed her friend. The charming inquisitor waited his answer with patience and confidence Please tell me. I won ' t tell anybody, she murmured imploringly. You ' d better take to flight, laughed a young man of the party. Don ' t be ashamed to learn to run. It may come in well some day. He already knows how, the girl said mischievously. What do you mean? asked Ross. What made your horse jump that fence awhile ago? The blue eves were brimming with laughter. How much longer are you going to try to stand the battery? exclaimed one of the horse-men. I confess myself unskilled in withstanding this kind of attack, the voung soldier responded; the shots I ' ve been used to gave a fellow the chance of being missed sometimes. Come, Laura, we must be going, said her brother, spurring his horse. Ross watched him as he rode past. It was evident from his military- bearing that he was a soldier — perhaps home on a furlough. A slight pull at the scout ' s coat recalled him. With a start he threw his hand over the pocket that heid some papers. But he had nothing to fear. Only that part of his coat had been touched where Laura, leaning forward, pinned some geraniums. She looked up laughing. Do you see that house? she asked, indicating a large residence set back in a beautiful grove, Yes. When you tire of these flowers, bring them hack. With this she left him, turning to wave good-bv. Give my love to your mother when you write. she called. 65 An hour later, Ross sat in the midst of a Northern camp, carousing with one of the soldiers. His citizen ' s clothes were hidden near the picket ' s hne, and he felt secure from suspicion in the uniform of the enemy. The Northern soldier accepted bounteous draughts from his new friend ' s flask, and soon grew genial under the warm influence. His tongue once loosed, it was an easy matter to find out from him the secrets of the regiment. After getting his information, Ross quickly made an excuse to leave. It was not entirely the fear of being caught that made him hasten through the lines, nor was it his eagerness to carry back the news of success, but — his vision of a house where geraniums grew. When he reached the gate through which the riding party had passed earlier in the day, he saw a groom leading several large, glossy horses to the stable. She has come back, he thought excitedly. An elderly lady met him at the door. She was neatly attired and evidently very refined. There was not the least formality in her manner. With the friend- liness that comes of a common interest, she extended her cordial hospitality to any soldier of the South. She led him into a richly furnished parlor, and brought the others in to speak to him. After a while he was left alone with Laura, who had taken a seat beside him on the sofa. How time did fly ! What did they talk about? Nothing! Everything! The long shadows cast by the setting sun reminded him that the half-hour he had intended to stay had long since slipped by. He rose to leave, but paused at the door. I must beg a favor of you, he said, it is strictly against orders that I am here — O, then you are a scout ' Laura ' s delight was beyond bounds. Yes, he admitted, and I ' ll be a prisoner if you should ever recognize me before any of the officers. I am often with the General, and it is possible he may come here, but you must remember I am an utter stranger. Trust me to keep it, said Laura, clasping her hands, her eyes dancing with e.xcitement, I ' ll never betray you. But what made you come? she asked after a moment ' s thought. These flowers — ah — needed water, returning the geraniums. Back to the camp the young soldier went. He was buoyant and full of energy despite the day ' s work. His comrade had left the Big Oak and returned to camp. After supper, when Ross went to report, he found the General in his tent, care- fully studying a map on the table before him. At a late hour the lamp was burn- ing, while Hampton poured over his plans. Ross stood at attention, ready to answer the questions that were asked him occasionally. Well done. was the General ' s comment, as he laid his maps aside and dismissed the scout. The next day Gen. Hampton, his staft and the young scout were on the same road that Ross knew so well. When they reached a certain house they saw an old gentleman getting water from a spring. He came up to the gate, and bowing courteously, said, General, come have a drink of my spring water; you won ' t find cooler anywhere. Hampton looked at the scout, who was supposed to find out, without going into the houses, whether the neighbors of the camp were friends or enemies. Ross gave the signal that it was all right, and they went to the spring. Won ' t you do us the honor of coming into our house? asked the gentleman, after the drink of cool, refreshing water. Gen. Hampton accepted the invitation, and they were taken into the parlor. It seemed very familiar to Ross, though he 66 suffered a feeling of estrangement when the two captains took their seats on the sofa that he and Laura had occupied the day before. The gentleman went out and soon returned with his wife and two oldest daugh- ters. Thev were introduced first to the General and then to the other officers. Ross stood at the end of the line. I hope Laura told her mother not to give me away, he thought. He was put at ease by the kindlv Glad to meet vou, with which she greeted him. It was a grand scene t he gray uniforms, the flash of swords, the two beau- tiful young ladies and the host and hostess with their aristocratic air. Yet the room seemed emptv, how inexpressibly empty, to Ross ' A bright ripple of laughter sounded in the hall, accompanied bv the tripping of light feet. More than one turned to see who was entering the door. In came Laura, bright and beautiful. She courtesied gracefully, rather coquettishlv, to the guests. Her father introduced her, beginning with the General and going down the line. She had spoken to about half of them, when she happened to catch sight of Ross at the other side of the room. Clapping her hands, she cried in an out- burst of delight, And there ' s our friend Mr. Ross! Wade Hampton ' s keen glance shot toward the culprit. Ross had an uncom- fortable feeling of weakness. The objects about him seemed to swim in confusion. Confinement for thirty days was bad enough under any circumstances. Bread and water was a disagreeable diet for a healthy soldier; but to be disgraced before this company, and Her — ! She saw her mistake at once. The color left her face, and clasping her hands over her heart she cried, What have I done? O, what have I done? She came nearer to him, the beseeching face mutely asking forgiveness. It just means ball and chains, he answered, endeavoring to take it manfully, and I guess I can wear ' em. The room became very still as Hampton opened his mouth to speak. Ross was painfully aware of the attention fixed on him. Miss Laura, said the general, as he looked from Ross to Laura who stooa there pale and trembling, do you know what the result is when a scout enters a private residence? No, she faltered helplessly. Imprisonment for thirty days. He has broken the rules, continued Gen. Hampton, and if I had never seen vour face he should pay the penalty; but having seen you, I don ' t blame him. Then he added with a smile, I would have done the same, myself. C. ROLVNE StU. RT WhITIXC. 67 Mother Peace. I.

' Twas the week before Chr And all thro ' the house Every creature was stirring Even each little mouse! vho were usualh But what was the matter with the little girls and mice , . . ■ Even the Seniors who had been drilled in • ' dignihcation all during their seven year sojimrn at Peace forgot all their excellent training and were flying around hke chickens with their we were not surprised at the little Freshman for exhibiting such delight when they caught a glimpse of the sitting-room, with its brilliantly lighted Chnstmas tree and the row of stock- inls stretching all around the walls. But think of S«nor5 actmg so childish! Do vou ' wonder that this was such a joyous occasion smce every body received so many prettv things? An.l how this all happened was that, tvfo weeks before this eventful night, there was foimd on the bulletin board a series of suggestions, placed there by some unknown benefactor reading thus: 98 HoAv to make Christmas Presents out of Nothing. Get a bottle which has once contained soothing syrup, and cover with small remnant of silk or ribbon. If material is old and worn, all the better. It will not only Vie cheaper, but more effective. Fringe ribbon {if faded), at btittom of bottle tie with two and one-half inches of baby ribbon. This will make alovolv little ornament for dresser. An attracti ' e present for your case. Get a small piece of red caril board, the cost of which will be a mere trifle. Cut in shape of heart, just the size of a locket. With white ink write the following on centre of heart. I ' m wcarin.Lj niv heart away for you. Suspend heart to a red ribbun just li.-n,i,nh r f a necklace. This should be worn instead of lockets or crosses. A match box with a hole punched in one end and a himk of fat meat in the middle, makes a useful as well as ornamental gift in the capacity of a rat-trap. A ribbon block for No. 2 ribbon with top partly removed. Cover with a small piece of velvet from your last winter ' s hat r dress, bine with silk scraps saved from crown of hat. In order that it will be recogniz- ed as a jewelry case, purchase a gold stick pin from The Five and Ten Cent Store. A lovely bureau scarf may be made from the remnants of an antedate kimono. If holey all the better, as this will admit of eyelets. Use border of kimono for ruffle. If it happens to be soiled or frazzled out, put on in zigzag manner, which adds to its beauty. 99 Whilr doing ymir Xmas shopping, collect as large a numlier of white muslin samples as possible. The greater variety the more artistic. Featherstitch about a dozen of thein to,gcther with strands of ariegated threads pulled out of drugget, where it shows less. From the dc|iths of the rag-bag select a few fragments of lace, not ninety-three years old (this touch of antiquity will only enhance its value). Whip this around the border, if your time is limiteil. don ' t bother to turn down Ihe hem as a raw edge linish is very fashionable this season. Handsome garterettes ma - Ije easily made tiy taking a few pieces of old hat elatsic, and brightening them up with a piece of faded ribbon, and adding a few stems of last-summer-hat ' s flowers. All col.irs of bl.ick and white ribbon make lovely sachets in delicate tints. Fill with m.- th balls, tobacco .lust and CSj. Bmd two pieces of pasteboard together with shoe strings dipped in diamond dyes. Color one side elalifirately with crayons used in Junior History Class. On the other side have drawings. This will make an attractive and useful music folio. It will cost vou nothing. Out of a comparati eh- new shoe ha ing the sole completely worn out , construct a hair receiver by hanging it by the strings. A convenient gift — always ready to receive the combings, aseach Ijunch falls entirely through, and sits on the floor of the bottomless boot. Into a small flask of sulj.huretcd-hydro.gen gas pour some warm a id shake well. Thus in a few seconds an e.xquisite and delicite perfu : taineil. and makes an all round gift.

They have made an awful rule Up here lately at our school. And they won ' t let us cook any more ; So we have to keep the law, Eat all our provisions raw. And not spill anv grease on the rtoor. For the trouble was, vou see. That the house was never free From the danger of alcohol flames; In this way they thought to save Girls and teachers from the grave, It was thoughtful of dear Father James! ' But we had a thought, did we, That how verv nice ' twould be If we could but cook on the gas. For we can all be very quiet While we ' re fixing up our diet So the teachers can ' t hear when they pass. Then upon a broken chair One brave cook stands in the air While the others all sit on the floor; But just as soon as melted cheese Starts all around the pan to grease, There is heard a rap-tap on the door! See the girls make for the bed! Hear the bumps upon each head! The cheese is thrown over the screen ; When the teacher saunters in (This we know is a great sin) There is nothing amiss to be seen. 109 Le roi est tnort; Vive le roi!

There was a young lady named Clara, Who was known to be quite a great swearer; When Gladys she found With Miss Fowlkes ' arms around She swore that she never could bear her. There was a young lady named Ida Who was once bitten bad by a spider, She turned up her nose And veiled, uh! mv toes ' Then the editors rushed up beside her. There is a young girl called Susanna Who was abnormally fond of banana When she ate 23 Thev did not agree, And she talked in a terriljle manner. There was a young lady named Lizzie Who was often exceedinglv dizzv. She went to sit down And fell on her crown; And that ' s the last of Miss Bizzy. A lovelv girl named Mignonette Iv. W. will surely not forget. For she comes to her room, With a dust-pan and broom. And cleans it up dandv, ■ou bet. There was a young maid from the town So fond of a beautiful gown. She ' d give her name Whiting, And off she ' d go kiting With a black and red hat for a crown. On the staff a most Ijcautiful Lad Loves to linger in spots that are shady, She was warned by the girls. Who wore little curls. Not to marrv and spoil her Arcadv. In the class there ' s a girl that s named ¥. Who teaches the children the speller So that often, alas! When she comes to the class You ' d never guess she ' d had a fellow. There is a young girl that ' s named Fred Who complains a good-deal of her head — When she takes Capudine, Looks worse than a fiend. And cries Oh, I wish I was dead. 114 There was a young girl named Marie, Who was always on such a big spree. That when she got quiet Thev gave her a diet For thev thought she was going to skidee. Once there was a girl they called Min. Who never committed a sin, The girls all declared. With assent unimpaired. To us she ' s no particle of kin. There was a young lady named Millie, Who sometimes did act veiy silly ; When she wore a new dress She looked such a mess That she got her a beau by name — Willie. There was a young lady named Sue, Who had cases many times two, Good-night, dear she ' d sav And then run away To be met with a lick from a shoe. There was a 3 ' oung lady, named Cora, Who was noted for being a snorer She had such a face That it won her a case. And her right name should be Floradora. There was once a lady named Coley Who never was known to walk slowly, Up town every da ' She ' d go — no delay. And return to say she felt jjoorly. There was a maiden Kathleen, Who closely resembled chlorine. She distorted her face And spit up a case — That ' s whv she is almost grass-green. There once was a ladv named Fowler Who was quite a good-natured growler The infirmary she kept Where sick girls often wept When thev found her to be such a howler. There is a voung maid from the West Who loves to dress up in her best, So that when we see Claude We exclaim. Oh, my Lord! And vou can imagine the rest. It ' s All Over Now!!!!!!!
