The word sent a chill to their hearts, and they wished they had never come, for far back in the happy little city they had left, they had heard strange, weird tales of accidents, which befell unwary travelers on this rough road of Prose. The soil under their feet had turned to crushed rock which afforded no good foothold, and cut through their shoes. Savagely beat down the sun. Slowly and more slowly Elinor struggled on, pulling, straining at the heavy weight behind I vi 'i r l 1 ' r dwarf? Q it la li il V J ii l I her. Now Evelyn and Bertha piteously begged that the rope might be fastened about them also, for the way was harder than they could bear. Elinor, near to fainting with her heavy burden, plead for mercy, but they held to the boys' arms and helped themselves along. Very soon the path made another turn, and they saw before them an ascent less steep. HCICERO, PRO ARCHIEQ' met their view. W'ith quickened courage they entered this new way. just as they were leaving the road of Prose they saw lying at the roadside strange, little square black books. Yielding to impulse they picked them up. No sooner had they done so than they wished they 'had let them lay, yet some strange impulse bade them keep the queer objcts. Quickly they traveled the path of Cicero, with its two windings, Pro Archie and The Manilian Low. It was not easy like the trail of Virgil, but experience in mountain climbing had made them wise. They now went around every obstacle, no matter how small, without stopping to inquire what it was. Elinor's burden was more easy now, yet she still pulled at the rope. Now they were nearing the top. It no longer receded from them as they struggled onward, but seemed to meet them. And now thy could see before them a green lawn, on which Howers were growing, where large trees threw a grateful shade, and the ascent was easy. Over the entrance, in 'letters of gold, was written: 'fOVID. Within they saw a beautiful maid and a stalwart youth running a race, with whom they were to play. But just at the entrance to this fair spot the strength of two of the party forsook them. Elinor and Jere sank down in the path in all the dust and heat, justjinreach offrest, and with tender words of farewell their comrades leftthem. With tearful eyes the two unfortunates watched their friends enter the cool sweetness, and wonderous to the center of the fairyland where, seated on a throne of wonderous beauty, they could see a beautiful woman. On her head was a crown, and the gleam of the jewels reach- ed them where they sat. As the three pilgrims advanced she arose, and placed on the head of each a wreath of laurel, as they handed her their queer black books picked up in the road of Prose. Willy have you abandoned your comrades ?'7 she asked. They, too, are worthy of reward. Come with me, and we shall lead them into this paradise. XVhen the two weary ones saw the beautiful woman and their crowned comrades returning they w'ere amazed. In his terror of he knew not what, ,lere possessed himself of his companion's black book, and to her great sorrow refused to give it up, though she be- sought him piteously. At length, when the approaching persons w-ere near, he gave it to her again, and the two waited. The Lady of the Jewels stood before them, and looked deep into their eyes. You have done as best you could, and you helped make the way happy for these, your more fortunate comrades, she said, and smiled as she said it. Then upon the head of the youth she placed a wreath of laurel. and to the maiden she gavea crown like her own. -BEE. 6 4 . l l l l I l l. 1 I 1 ti 1 Qi 5 r i I r I A l E Q y. .. l .- ' ' ln. i U NIXCLQEV lyuiv t f 1, ' 41, ' 45' N : -4-411 l we , W ffw , l ' fa 'f , WU -I v 7 ' ' frufgo' gg . fwwfyf .. ,' --'- 4 1, f ,,, tl MNH

CLASS PRoPHEoY or 1907. You are invited to attend a banquet At Madison Square Garden june 17, 1920. Celebrating the completion of the Stone-Picket Transcontinental Compressed Air Tube Line. 'I his invitation lay before me on my table one evening and I decided at once to accept it as I was sure to meet many of the no- tables. . As I boarded the airship for Madison Square, I purchased a paper to while away the time on the long ride and the first thing which greeted my sight were these headliness in glaring type: HON. JEHEMIAH .BOWDEN,S Great Speech Against Governmental Ownership of Airship Lines. Wins Him First Place on the jawsmiths' ' I Party Ticket. Great Enthusiasm and a Unanimous Vote Pondering over the possible results of this action my eyes wand- ered over the advertisements and to my surprise I saw the following: NOW AT THE MANHATTAN Ethel Martin and the Loomis Stock Company Presenting Richard Rowett's Latest Production. NOTHING DOING. Nothing radically wrong about this, New York World. My curiosity being aroused, I investigated further and was re- warded by seeing this item. NIAGARA FALLS TO BE RESTORED. ' By Henry Dailey's Latest Discovery. Mechanical means of producing electricity will now be done away with by the latest invention of Prof. I-Ienry Bailey. , This new machine draws its electricity from the air and it is thought by good authorities that the trust which has a monopoly on Niagara Falls will soon be driven out of business. If this is done we are sure that the people will join us in proclaiming the Prof. a hero of the times. Finding no more familiar names in the paper I was just about to cast it aside when I noticed this article: The Bridge Non-Poisonous Tamale Company's Factory of Compton, Cal., was totally destroyed by fire last night, causing a loss of about S4oo,ooo.
