bygone age. Behind us the coyotes howled in the darkness, which we tried to penetrate with fearful glances thrown back over our shoulders. Slim was in the midst of one of his most fictitious yarns, a story of a panther ' s den he had come upon in one of his travels. “An’ the pesky varmint sprung at me ’ he was saying. ' Them critters shore is mad when they’s frightened. Well, I grabs aholt of his tail, an ' afore he coulda done anythin’, I up and turns him inside out. We-uns had chow fer a week after.” The fire flickered and a half-burned log cracked. We all started, then laughed nervously. Then suddenly a wild cry rang out in the night. We were frightened almost out of our wits. Another one peeled through the air. The Indians must surely be on the war-path,” we thought. Slim had sprung to his feet. “Suthin’ wrong, folks, he exclaimed, and we all agreed. Tom said, “Someun’s gone plumb crazy. Le’s go find out what the trouble is, Slim.” ' I ' hey started off, we following them with our eyes dilated until their forms were lost to sight in the impenetrable darkness. We shrank back, shivering. I heard a maniacal scream, followed by a bright flash and a loud report. Then all I could think of was safety. Turning around, I started to run, screaming at the top of my lungs. I heard someone running after me, and 1 doubled my speed. Suddenly, some huge obstacle loomed up in front of me. I swerved, but hit it hard. It was soft, yielding, and when I struck it a hiccough issued forth and then, “Wha’s tha’?” came a thick question. “Oh — oh — oh! Shay lady, s’chuse me. I’m ish lookin’ for some water. My horsh ish thirshty.” It was the cook from the lower ranch. By this time, Mike had arrived, and the inebriate was firmly gripped by the collar. The foreman came up, and together they piloted him away. It seems he had been stealing Dad’s corn to make liquor and had installed a still in the granary. The girls and 1 walked back to the house and, though my parents did not come until long after midnight, we sat up waiting, armed with the mop- stick, a butcher knife, the stove-poker, and an unloaded twenty-two. The nick still remains in the fire-place w ' here the cook’s bullet struck. — Dorothy Drake, ' 29.

With sudden fervor this she said: ‘Ten years from now to the very day, Strange you seek Future ' s prey; But I alone can truly say The fate of six who pass this way. Resplendent, shining, famous one, Burning fame like burning sun. Opera, music, a career begun; Sing on Dorothy, your voice has won. I see in her home our sweet Diane, Skillfully tipping a frying-pan; A girl who wills, a woman who can. A charming wife, the lucky man. At nine o’clock begins her day; File and clip the quickest way, All joy turns to Saturday; Blitz “stenog,” so they say. Under the shade of a wide-spread tree The Lady Kent is pouring tea, A favorite queen of society. Betty’s the name as it used to be. Seated high upon a stool, Molding aloft many a tool; A pen, a pencil, a twelve-inch rule; Alice, ye gods, she’s teaching school! You will, you beg, you ask, you tease; From Fate you cry on bended knees: “Open the years, give us the keys.’’ The Future ' s known; now does it please? — Alice Dick - 33 -
