Published by the Students of the Petersburg High School, PETERSBURG. VIRGINIA. VOL. II. MAY, 1913. No. 5. There is a tiny flower, Whose eye is Heaven’s blue; It blooms in a sunnny bower, So faithful and so true. Little from it is heard. For silence is its lot; But when it speaks, its only word Is o’er and o’er: “Forget-me-not.” T. L. Roettger.

G THE MISSILE. THE CALL OF THE RAIN. T yARGUERiTE DE Gracey stood before her win- 4 4 4 IW if dow in the Sacre’coeur Convent, and tears 41 mjVK rolled down her cheeks as she thought of the morrow when she would have to leave this place her — home — the only home she Tf ' » ' ' ♦ 4l ' 1 ' had ever known. I ' he curtain parted and Sister Cecile entered, but the girl at the window neither saw nor heard her. The nun did not see the tears, but she rightly interpreted her thoughts and with a gentleness which she seldom showed placed her hand on Marguerite’s shoulder. “Mademoiselle,” she whispered,” is it so bad? “Oh, Sister Cecile,” sobbed the girl, “I shall die, I know I shall ! I don’t want to go. I am unhappy as it is, but there I shall be miserable.” “Hush, Mademoiselle,” said the sister gently; you must not talk so. You know not the great happiness which is before you.” “Happiness ?” and the violet eyes blazed. ‘‘How can I be happy when I love him not ?” “But love will come. Mademoiselle. You will learn to love him and with a love stronger and truer than that which you could give him now.” “No, sister,” and the voice was gentle but sad, “I shall never care for him. I have loved but one man. He has my heart, and he shall keep it. I shall marry Prince Maz- zini because of the covenant which my father made with Prince Bohemud, but I shall be true to Lorraine.”
