DECEMBER 1912 No. 2 Autumn There is no time in the year like autumn, With the smile of May and the warmth of June, Vllhen every thing ceases its busy hum, And the clouds do not hide the silvery moon. The leaves in their beauty of red and gold Rustle and Whisper in the lazy Wind. Youth seems to come to all the old, And trouble and care are left behind. The fruit is all ripe and the grain is cut. VVe all rejoice that Thanksgiving is near, VVhen every one feels so joyful and glad, but No one thinks of shedding a tear. -Mary Johnson, 14. fdetnirifz Ahuenturr WL,-eng, ANICE started to school in a very unpleasant su frame of mind, for she had had a very trying time that morning and if Janice had a temper one could easily have seen that she inherited it, if they had seen her mother a few hours earlier. Mrs. Meredith was a stern woman and to get a reproof at her hands was THE BLACK AND GOLD 7 something to be remembered. She had found Janice read- ing a romance, and to her such reading was the first step to the destruction of one 's soul, so she had reproved her, as she thought it was for her own good. Janice had seen her mother bestow her treasured book on the red coals of the large iire place and had watched the flames leap mock- ingly up and down it. She was a girl of spirit, but she had not dared oppose her mother, but she loved to read novels as much as any young girl would, so she smuggled them into the house in spite of her mother's reproofs and of course the joy of reading them was two-fold because of the danger that involved it. She walked along the road, her small hands clinched tightly at her sides, and her dainty head held erect in the most defiant manner. She was of medium height, slender and graceful, and was very pretty, in spite of her angry eX- pression, with beautiful brown hair making a loxely setting for her equally lovely face, a low, white forehead, black delicately penciled eyebrows, beautiful black eyes, shaded by long, curling eyelashes, a small, straight nose and a pair of lovely red lips, and rosy cheeks. The upper lip protruded very slightly over the under one, giving it a look of childish innocence. When Janice drew near the school house that morn- ing, she A-saw that something unusual had happened, for the scholars instead of boisterously playing around were gathered under the big sycamore tree in front of the building. 'fOh, Janice, have you heard the news? cried a rosy cheeked young girl, as she disengaged herself from the encircling arm of one of her girl friends and ran to meet the new comer. '4What news? J ' UAbout the Red Coats I cried a dozen voices together. They are coming this way, cried one. 8 THE BL.-LCE AKD GOLD They broke into Granger's mill last night and stole the supplies of the Continental Army, and father said that from all appearances, they will be overrunning this part of the country very soon, said a third. In the excitement of the moment, Janice forgot her wrongs of the morning and entered eagerly in the discus- sion. 1 To Janice it seemed that the lesssons would never end that day, and it must have seemed the same to all the rest. for everybody was restless and inattentive, and the excite- ment was intenseg for though the war between Great Brit- ain and America had been going on for several months. the armies had not yet come down into Xew Jersey. the place in which this story takes place. The scenes of activity had most all been up around Boston. - It was enough to excite them, for they had heard accounts of the sufferings of people at the hands of the Hessian soldiers. and the foraging of the armies on both sides. ' The session finally dragged to a close and the children were dismissed for the day. Janice snatched up her books and hurried towards homeg wishing to get home as quick as she could to tell the news she had heard, she decided to take a short cut through the woods which bordered their pasture lot, to crawl through the fence and then to cut across the pasture to the house. She started to follow out this course and was well through the dark woods with the pasture in sight. when she was attracted by the sound of a low moan. She stopped, her hands upon her wildly beating heart, and listened. After an interval of what seemed hours to the waiting girl, but which really was only a few minutes, the sound was repeated. For some reason she seemed unable to run: besides she was a brave girl and the thought of some one in THE BLACK AND GOLD 9 distress stayed her, so cautiously stepping a few paces in the direction of the sound, she cautiously parted the bushes and looked around. There on the ground, lying full length among the leaves, lay a young man. He lay motionless, his face as white as death except for a small stream of blood which liowed from a gash on his head, matting his brown hair and stain- ing it a dark red color. Janice lost all fear now and coming nearer she knelt down by the wounded man and with her handkerchief tried to stop the flow of blood. After bathing his face with a handkerchief which she dipped in the brook near by, she rubbed his wrists and hands to start the circulation of blood. In a few moments his eyelids fluttered and opened. He smiled gratefully and tried to speak, but Janice placed her iinger on her lips and shook her head so he would not exert his strength by talking. He obeyed her unspoken command and closed his eyes again. She continued to work with him until he turned rest- lessly and tried to sit up, but only succeeded in hurting himself more, for he sank back with a groan. '4Oh, please, do lie still,7' Janice said despairingly. Wait, and I will get help from my home. 4'You musn't, said the wounded man, catching Janice's hand as she started to rise, so as to detain her. HYou would only make matters worse-for I am a spy, carrying papers to his Excellency, George VVashington, which contain matters of the greatest importance. The general must have them before nightfall. Can you engage someone secretly to carry them? His Excellency is about five miles south of this place, and a rider could reach him before nightfall. Just let the General know that I met with an accident, that I was thrown from my horse and sus- 10 THE BLACK AND GOLD tained a few injuries. My leg is broken, I am sure. That is what made me groan so when I tried to rise. There is no time to lose, can you get some one to take this? he said, handing her a paper. y But I must get some one to help you first, and- began Janice, springing to her feet. No, don't. I can wait, he said anxiously, while a troubled look came into his face. 4'It's letter that one should suffer and perhaps die than a Whole regiment. Do get some one to take that paper. My horse is about here somewhere, and I am sure he was not hurt when he stumbled and threw me. He is saddled and bridled and all he needs is a rider. UI will lose no time, Janice said as she took the paper and started away, and had the wounded spy noticed more closely he would have seen a sudden gleam in her black eyes. If he could have known Janice's thoughts, they would have been- Hlf he will risk his life for the cause of our country, then why shouldn't I be of some use to it, too? She hesitated though, at the thought of the worry she would cause her father and mother, but upon remembering her wrongs of the morning, she stubbornly persisted in easing her conscience by telling herself that her mother would not care. Despite the fact she could not help but know that her parents would be almost frantic at her not appearing at home after school, she determined she would carry out her plan. As these thoughts were passing through her mind, she suddenly came upon the horse. Breaking a switch from a bush, she went up to the horse, fixed the stirrups the right length, and then swung herself into the saddle. She was a good rider, for she had a saddle horse for her own use, and she was not afraid. The road to the south led past Granger's mill. Janice THE BLACK AND GOLD 11 knew this, but she did not expect anything unusual to hap- pen. The horse was going at a good pace and she was just beginning to feel sure of getting at headquarters be- fore long, when, as she was passing the mill, a figure stepped from the door and commanded, '4Halt! Frightened by his sudden appearance and seeing he was clad in the uniform of a British soldier, Janice gave a sharp cry. She did not obey his command, instead she gave her horse a fierce lash with the whip and leaned for- ward in the saddle. The officer, seeing it was a woman, did not fire, but leaped to the saddle of his horse and was after her like the wind. HGo, Dandy, go, she half sobbed. 4'We haven't much further to go, but we must make it. Though very tired by now, the horse seemed to under- stand and did his best, while Janice urged him on. So pursued and pursuer dashed along, enveloped in a cloud of dust, the latter gradually gaining, the former with fast beating heart, determined to hold out till the last. Knowing that he was steadily gaining on her, the soldier did not fire, because he did not wish to fire on a woman, nor did he wish to cause useless bloodshed, but he had been ordered to halt every one that passed his station at the mill and he certainly intended obeying orders. He was losing patience now, but his British determination urged him to keep on and win, besides, he knew she was going on a mission, obviously of a great importance, judging from her strange behavior. . As Janice dashed over the brow of the hill she suddenly saw advancing toward her, several horsemen in the uniform of the Continental soldiers. Given new strength by sight of them, Janice, though weak and exhausted, urged her horse on and dashed down the hill into their midst. She swayed 12 THE BLACK AID GOLD siekeningly in the saddle. hut exerting her Will. straightened up. delivered the paper to the man in charge of the soldiers. and told him the story of the afternoons happenings. Then quite overcome and exhausted. she lurehed forvvard in the saddle and would have fallen had not one of the soldiers leaped forvvard and caught her. The next day Janice yvas taken home, and her parents, after hearing of her adventure. were indeegl proud of her. -Hope E. Briggs. '1-L ,...i...-1. En my Iittlr C9112 Come. come. my little vveary one.

V QW THE BLACK AND GOLD 13 Qlhrintmaa at thr Img human T WAS just two days before Christmas and lfncle Jan and Aunt Nancy sat by the fire in the cabin, talking of the Christmases that were past and the Christmas that was to come. For the first time in their lives they were to spend Christmas away from home. By '4home they meant the big house on the hill, miles and miles away, where for three score years and more they had been, first slaves and then servants, of the Jeffer- son family. Uncle Jan had been the butler and Aunt Nancy the family nurse. She had nursed all HMiss Annie 's chill- uns, and later, after young Marse Robert had brought his charming young wife home, Aunt Nancy had again be- come mistress of the nursery. Marse Robert's only child was little Miss Elizabeth, and being Aunt Nancy 's charge from birth up, she was naturally devoted to her. Things had changed greatly now. During the past year both the dear old Massa and Missus had passed away. After their death Marse Robert had yielded to his wife 's plans to allow Uncle Jan and Aunt Nancy, who were now very old and feeble, to go live with their son Jacob in a nearby negro settlement. 'LI say, Jan, 'twont seem Christmas dis year t'all. Dis am de fust time in all dis nigger's life dat she did'en hope fix fer Christmas et de Big House, en de fust time dat we aint gwine to eat turkey en de sech like in de kitchen of de Big House, Aunt Nancy remarked, gazing wistfully into the fire. I tole ye so, ole womun. I knowed et wuz gwine ter cum. Las' Christmas I stood by en waited on de Massa en de Missus when dey et dere denner. May de good Iiawd 1!, THE BLACK AND GOLD bless 'emi I sez nuthin' 't all 'gin Marse Robert, but I tell yo' dat's a new Missus ob de Big House, Uncle Jan re- marked, huskily. It jes 'pears ter me dat ef I aint at the Big House to welcum my precious chile hum from school, it won't be Christmas 't all. Dat hit wont, Aunt Nancy replied, re- ferring to Elizabeth, who was now attending a fashionable boarding school in the city. HCose I likes it here wid Jacob, but seems ter me dat my days air done en de Lawd jes' fergits ter let me die, poor Jan slowly remarked from his corner by the fire. 4'Jan, dunno yo' talk lak dat! De good Lawd knows his business mo' den us po' niggers does, Aunt Nancy severely rebuked him. Early next morning Aunt Nancy was brushing up the hearth, and Uncle Jan, who could scarcely walk even with a cane, was laboriously bringing in wood from the snowy yard without, when a big gray touring car came driving up in front of Jacob 's cabin. In an instant, dozens of little negroes were upon the scene, for the appearance of an au- tomobile was quite an event in such a little village at this time. A well dressed little girl of about thirteen years of age got out of the car and hurriedly ran into the cabin. Ch, Mammy Nannie! she cried, Hyou didn't think I'd let you spend Christmas in such a place as this, did you? And she threw her arms around the old negro 's neck. f'Honey! Honey! was all Aunt Nancy could say, as the tears streamed down her black face. '4And here's Uncle Jan, Elizabeth continued. '4How good it is to see you all. Now both of you hurry and get ready, for I've come to take you back home to spend Christ- mas. When I came home and found that you were not at home, I simply couldn't stand it, so I made papa let me come over after you, for it wouldn 't be Christmas if Mam- THE BLACK AND GOLD 15 my Nannie wasn't there to tuck me in bed at night and Uncle Jan to graciously serve the dinner. Elizabeth, assisted by the chaieur, tucked Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jan in the back of the car, and then crawled in herself. It was the first time either the old man or his wife had ever been in an automobile, and they were as happy as children as they sped through the frosty air back to the HCld Home. lt was a happy Christmas they spent at the 'Cold Home. Elizabeth did everything she could for their comfort and happiness, and everybody from Ulllarse Robert down showered them with presents. But the Christmas dinner was the crowning joy of all. As the guest of honor, they sat at the servants' table in the kitchen 'fob de Big House. Little did they think it was the last Chrismas dinner they would ever eat, but the next Christmas found snow six inches deep on the graves of Uncle Jan and Aunt Nancy. -Eula Wall, '14. in iii 1..' .?.'2 'tb F.

Oh, lXIammy, said the little one, Hwhy did those old Yankees come and take my papa away Rd break my mamais heart so that she died? -les ,cause theyls natu'ally low down white trash, replied black mammy. But never mind, honey, she ad- ded in a soothing tone, Mammy's gwine take care er baby. fi know, mammy, but I want my mama andupapa. And just think, it is Christmas, too! Santa Claus doesn't come to orphans, does he, mammy? 'fiawd hab mercy! Cose he do, child. Mammy done forgot all about its being Christmas Eve. You better take off your clothes and hustle your little self into bed, 'cause you know Santa Claus won't come 'till you are fast asleep. Lucy willingly obeyed and ten minutes later was fast asleep in her little bed. lllammy stayed with her until she was asleep, and then went back into the library to think how she was going to get money to buy the child something for Christmas. Finally she dropped down by the chair, which her little mistress had vacated only a few minutes before, and with the tears streaming down her black face she prayed: Oh, Lawd, help me to git money from some whar to buy my darling baby a present with. I don 't know whar its coming from, Lawd, but 17111 a trusting you to hear de prayer ob dis poor niggar dis night, Amen. As she rose from her knees, Uncle Zeke, her husband came in with an armful of wood. 'cHey, man. You is jist the person I's a seeking. Do you know dat dis am Christmas Eve night, and our poor THE BLACK AND GOLD 17 little angel ob a child aint got nary Christmas present? Wl13t,S we gwine do, Zeke? 'tLawd knows, I don't known, Merandy. I aint got nary a cent to my na1ne. I don't know nothin' I can do lessen I go to town and see if I can git a little wuk.'7 Dats de thing! Clear out from here den, and don't you come back without something fur de child. Do yo' hear? A t'Yas I hear. an' I'm gwine right now. The Lloyd ls house was situated upon a hill and set back a good way from the main road. In order to save time and work, Uncle Zeke took a short cut, and half slid, half crawled down the steep embankment and started forward on his journey to town. A few yards along he stooped and picked up a small roll of paper. UFO' de Lawd! he exclaimed, 'cwhat am dis? He slipped off the rubber band and smoothed the roll with lean, tremulous fingers. His jaw dropped. '4For de Lawdf, he repeated in an awed whisper, Hdis am money- mo' money 'n I can count I So rejoiced was he that he had to go back to Hde big house to tell Aunt Merandy. Praise de Iiawd! exclaimed the old woman when she saw the roll of money. It am jist de answer to my prayer. And so it happened that when Christmas morning dawned bright and clear, little Lucy found her stocking full of Christmas toys. -Ruth Anderson, '14. 3 . 18 THE BLACK AND GOLD Uhr Qlhriatman Glurkvg T IYAS the day before Christmas. Mother Blickendorfer was clearing away the dinner dishes when a loud knock was heard at the p Jlkl- door. Now the Blickendorfers were in the habit of leaving their door Wide open, as an invitation to every passerby to drop in, but since the Indians had become so unfriendly during the last few weeks, the good Moravian Qiouse Wife kept the door tightly bolted even in the day- time. As the cabin was just on the out-skirts of Bethabara, and since father Blickendorfer had gone to Cross Creek on business for the brethren, there was all the more need for caution. HRun. Marie Henrietta. said Mrs. Blickendorfer, as the knocking continued, peep through the window and see who it isf' 4'It is Hans Peter Shober! cried Marie Henrietta. her round face beaming with delight at the prospect of a visitor. UPlease, may I unlatch the door? Of course. child. replied her mother, and be quick about it, else Hans Peter will batter it down. As Marie Henrietta unlatched the door. Hans Peter rushed in, all breathless and pale with fright. The baby was having a spell and nothing would do but Mrs. Blicken- dorfer must come immediately, as there were no other neighbors near enough. She hesitated as to leaving the children alone in the house. But her kind heart prompted her to go, so she left. HVVhen I am gone, shut the door and bolt it, and do not open it. were the last words she spoke upon leaving. As Mrs. Blickendorfer left her cottage, an Indian who had been sneaking around the neighborhood for several days, crept up to the house. Just before he reached the door, THE BLACK AND GOLD 19 his arm was torn by a thorn bush and was bleeding when he knocked loudly on the door. Marie Henrietta looked out of the Window. The Indian. speaking in broken English, bade her let him in and give him some dinner. Dinner Was what he asked for. but Was it really dinner he Wanted? Marie Henrietta, having a kind heart, opened the door after saying to herself that she knew her mother would Wish her to under these circumstances. She immediately pre- pared him hot coffee and some fresh bread and butter. UI would give you more, but this is all We have in the house, she said as she placed the things before him on the small table. The Indian said nothing, but busied himself eating. It was then Marie Henrietta noticed his bleeding arm, and Without saying a Word. she found some soft clean rags and asked him to let her tie up his arm for him. For the first time his hard heart was touched. He might easily have killed the young girl as' she bent with gentle touch over his bleeding arm. His knife was at his side, it would then be an easy matter to strangle the other two. But strange to him. he felt powerless to harm the gentle girl. Feelings he had never known Were roused in his heart. 4 n 4'Like turkey? he asked as he rose to leave the cabin. Yes! yes! eagerly cried the children. About an hour later, when Mrs. Blickendorfer returned home, what was her surprise to find a nice fat turkey on her doorstep. It's our good lndian's C'hristmas gift. cried Gretchen, and when Mrs. Blickendorfer heard of the fierce visitor her children had, she felt thankful indeed that her Heavenly Father had cared for her little ones. -Evelyn Shipley, '1-1.

He was a man of bril- laff 'QQXNS-Lf' T-in , ,- . . . . . liant mind, excellent ability and good emotions, .II X Q! E 'ffffl 11,53 E ff -Y jlifgil but in spite of all these good traits there was something lacking about his make-up. This was the ability to rule himself, to use his talents. Carton was conscious of this blight upon him and this fact contributed to his un- happiness. Vwlhat can be sadder than the picture Dickens gives us of Carton overwhelmed with grief, after seeing his counterpart Darnay so happy and prosperous? lVith his unusual abilities Carton was capable of doing almost anything he wanted to, and could have been one of the ablest lawyers in London. Vvlhat Carton needed was something or some one to inspire him. The person who was capable of doing this proved to be Lucy Manette, who rep- resented to Carton everything good, pure and noble. Car- ton saw the quiet corner in Soho Square made home-like and happy by the presence of Lucy, VVhen he said to Lucy, H111 my degradation I have not been so degraded but that the sight of you with your father, and of this home made such a home by you. has stirred old shadows that I thought had died out of me, he is probably refering to dim recollections of his happy boyhood days when his beloved mother was alive. To Sydney Carton who had not known the joys of home life for so many years, the quiet home of Dr. Manette was a haven. It was after his visit here that Carton made the most desperate efforts to overcome his bad habits, but THE BLACK AND GOLD 21 they had gained too much vantage and held him in their grasp. Sydney Carton's nobility asserted itself in his attitude toward Lucy and Darnay. He knew that he was not worthy of Lucy and did not ask her hand, but simply went to her, told her of his love, how she had been an inspiration to him, and left her with these words: '4For you and any one dear to you, I would do anything. If my career were of that better kind that there was opportunity or capacity of sacri- fice in it, I would embrace any sacrifice for you and those dear to you. The time was not long in coming when Sydney Carton had an opportunity to fulfill his promise and the sacrifice he made was nothing less than his own life. The night before the election, as he wandered about the city of Paris, he was, as Dickens says, like a tired man, who had wandered and struggled, and got lost, but who at last struck. into his road and saw its end. The next day as the knife of the guillotine came down on the twenty-third head, Carton laid down his life for Lucy. He was said, by those who witnessed the execution to have looked peaceful and sublime. And why should he not have looked so? Was he not accomplishing the purpose of his life in rendering Lucy a service? -Blanche Buxton, '13. 2,2 TH E BLACK AND GOLD Elie Elranzfnrmaiinn nf Silas Jllarnrr M Nw OHE people seem to think that the time of mira Wlarnei how Eppie changed the character of Q J FJ Nlarner, surely they cannot entertain the slight est doubt but that the transformation of Marner was a mira- cle. When we study the character of Marner after he was accused of the theft, we find in him all of the traits of a miser, an unbeliever in God, and one who is uninterested in his fellow men. He is entirely alone and lives simply for his gold. He worships his gold, glories in it, and day and night thinks of nothing else.

That he had good in him, is clearly brought to light when sunny little Eppie enters his life. It is a very dramatic moment, when Silas coming to his flreside. sees there what he thinks is his precious gold and reaching for it. Ends instead of the hard, cold coins the soft, warm curls of a little c-hild. We wonder why he does not show disappointment: but from that moment we see his life and character begin to change. First there is awakened in him memories of his early life, and then the attending of so fair a specimen of humanity as Eppie began immedi- ately to render him more human, and then, too, his mind became somewhat clearer. That the child loved him almost at once shows plainly that there was something good and lovable in him, for children have that peculiar instinct which makes them love the right person. If Silas had been a hard man Eppie would never have clung to him as she did. At one time Silas thought of nothing but his loom and THE BLACK AND GOLD 23 gold, but after Eppie came to brighten his life and home, he rarely ever thought of the stolen gold, and when he did it was not with a feeling of regret, but with a spirit of thankfulness that this ray of sunshine had come to him in- stead of his gold. After the great crisis in Marner's life, he became a true human being once more. He loved Eppie with all his heart and did everything in his power to please her and once more he began to serve God. He saw why his gold had been stolen and why Eppie had come to him and he thanked God with his whole heart for it all. In another way Eppie changed Silas' life in that he became an object of pity rather than an object of suspicion. Before Eppie's coming the inhabitants of Raveloe thought of him as an evil being, but after they saw the goodness in him, he became an object of pity. In short Silas Marner was changed from a miserly, nar- row and suspicious man to a generous, open-hearted and happy man and this change was brought about by one per- son--the golden haired, blue-eyed sunny Eppie. -Emily Gray, '13, Nnnvmher The woods begin to look sad and drear, Each falling leaf is brown and sere.

The heavens even took part in that battle and it was so impressed upon my mind that it seems that it was only yesterday that I saw it. Great was the rejoicing in the Persian camp when the great Rustum agreed to tight for them and he looked like a giant tower as he stood upon the sands awaiting the com- ing of Sohrab. IYhen Sohrab came forth he looked like a lily. just plucked from some fair lady's garden. while Rustuin was more like the magnolia. the tree having strength, while the blossom has its delicate beauty. although the petals are thick and hard to tear. I was somewhat surprised to see Sohrab fall at Rus- tum's feet. instead of beginning to tight. I could not hear what was said, but from the scornful look upon Rustum's face and the painful one on Sohrab's, it seemed to be a very touching conversation. All at once they ceased talking and Rustuin, his face showing both anger and scorn. hurled his spear: but the boy stepped aside and the spear went deep into the sand. Then Sohrab hurled his spear. It struck Rustum's shield but it was turned. Then the mighty Rus- tum seized his great club. which none but he could wield, and struck at Sohrab with all his strength. but 'the boy' again stepped aside and the club thundered to the earth. and Rustum fell. too. I feared for what might follow: but Sohrab only waited for him to arise. Then, after a short conversation. which seemed to anger Rustum all the more, they rushed together, more furious than ever. raining blows THE BLACK AND GOLD 25 on eaoh other. Suddenly a cloud enveloped them, and though we were in the bright sunlight, I could see no more of the fight for a long while. I Oh! my child, that must have been a terrible fight, for the thunder ruinbled in the air and onoe Rustum's horse uttered a dreadful ery, which sent a shudder through the Persians and caused the river to eurdle. At last the cloud disappeared, l looked, and lo! Sohrab was lying upon the ground with Rustum standing above him. Rustum appeared to be talking to Sohrab, and I heard Sohrab say, louder than the rest of the Conversation: 4' tThe mighty Rustum shall avenge my death.' Nl knew that the iight was over and tears oame to my eyes to see that brave, beautiful boy, for boy he was, lying there upon the sand, only waiting until death should Come to him. Then night came on and a cold fog crept from the Gxus. Soon a hum arose. and fires began to twinkle through the fog. for now both armies moved to camp, and took their meal, and Riustum and his son were left alone. -Callie A.

About a year ago I was working on the roads just outside of Paris, when I saw 3Ionseigneur's carriage coining up the hill. I looked around and under the carrage I saw Gaspard hanging by the chair. He was white with dust. YVhen the carriage reached the top of the hill he juinped out and disappeared over the hill. That night Monseigneur was niurdered. t'That night Gaspard canie to my little hut and asked for food. He told nie how llonseig-neur had killed his little child and that he had followed hiin honie and niurdered him for revenge. He had hid in the woods that day.

One day THE BLACK AXD GOLD 27 about sunset I was preparing to go home when I saw six soldiers coming over the hill with some one a prisoner be- tween them. IVhen they came closer I saw it was poor Gas- pard. He was carried on to the yillage. and put in the pris- on. He wasput in an iron cage like a wild beast. About two weeks after this. I went to the yillage one bright morning and there, by the fountain. I saw a scaffold. forty feet high. It l1ad been erected silently during the night while we were asleep. You may be sure there was no work in the village that morning. There was only gather- ings and whispering by the fountain. About midday Gas- pard was brought out in the midst of many soldiers and hanged-forty feet high. That is all. messiers, except this: Monseigneur was the cause of Gaspard death and of his childs.

They consisted of 111usic by the orchestra, recitations, speeches, and songs. Some visitors were present and it was altogether a very enjoyable event. At the close of the exercises Mr. NVhite called in Joe, our faithful janitor, and presented hin1 with a large turkey from the Senior Class, tied with the Senior Class colors.

The articles are prepared by the pupils in the same way a reporter gets up his matter.
