( Wallace Graves. H CV SCHOOV. SANDWICH Among the older citizens of Sandwich, the old, red school house will be remembered as the first school. It stood upon North Main Street and was erected before the village of Sandwich was surveyed or even contemplated, and was used until 1856, when it was sold at auction. In the winter 1854-5 a company was organized for the purpose of erecting a building and maintaining a high school to be known as the Sandwich Academy. The school was opened in the spring of 1855 by Prof. J. L. Hendrick, who continued it as a high school until the spring of 1856, when the directors of the public schools of this district purchased the building of the shareholders and continued Prof. Hendrick as a teacher until the spring of 1857. In the fall of 1857 the directors graded the schools and placed Prof. H. F. Needham in charge as principal. The present system of grading, which consists of eight grades below the high school, was adopted in 1877. The schools were then in a fine condition under the superintendencr of Prof. C. I. Gruey. The school property was valued at $10,000. The graded schools of Sandwich have had W. W. Woodbury for city superintendent during the last twenty years. He had been connected with the schools previous to this time being principal of the Grammar School. Under A. J. Blanchard the first graduating exercices of the school were held in 1876. The course of study at that time covered a period of three years. In 1890 the course of study was extended and covered a period of four years. The school had been on the accredited list at the HIGH SCHOOL University of Illinois and the leading colleges of the Mississippi valley. Aside from Latin, no languages were taught in the public schools until 1900, when German was added. At present, the standard and attainments of our school are high. Six competent teachers are employed. There are 104 students enrolled, which number is about one-fourth of the pupils in all our schools. It often has l een remarked that our graduating classes are noticeably large. This year there will be graduated 17 of the 35 who entered as Freshmen four years ago. The course of study is good. We offer 4 years English, 4 years Mathematics, 4 years Science, 4 years History, 3 years commercial subjects, including Shorthand and Typewriting, 4 years Latin, 2 years German and 1 year of French. One great drawback to our high school is the lack of room. We are patiently looking forward to a new school building that will be complete in every respect, providing a library, both of reference books and fiction; an auditorium with a small stage for plays and other social events; a lantern with slides to be used for science, history and literature; Manual Training Rooms, luncheon rooms for out-of-town students; a gymnasium for our energetic and enterprising fellow students. Not only is our work above the average, but school enterprises continue to flourish. We have put out the S. H. S. Reflector for two consecutive years, have had two public Senior-Junior debates, have had three annual bazaars, and many other events. As a whole, we are very, very proud of our old S. H. S. and oh, how we Seniors do hate to leave it! 3 — THE F MR. WOODBURY, our superintendent, So staunch and so stern, Has guided the students through High School. Throughout his twenty-year term. He teaches Algebra and Physics, Filling other duties as well, He assigns us long lessons, But this we will not tell. He thinks foot-ball is fine And likes our bazaars, But our serious (?) attitude, Beats all under the stars. MAUD WEBSTER by name, Has been with us four years, She’s endeared in hearts, of each classman here, She teaches us English Trains us for plays And her endless enthusiasm Accounts for her ways. We’ve had Year Books, Bazaars, And debates once a year, Much work and much pleasure Since Miss Webster came here. S. J. COON, has our history classes He teaches us of the world that passes, From the beginning of time to Wilson’s election We can rattle it off without a correction. If he’s absent a day, we get along not at all. So please Mr. Coon, don’t again slip and fall. He honors us with many a reference From two to twenty pages long It’s the only time throughout the years That we’ve wished he’d forget or else be gone. UTLTY MISS FRANCES BUNNEL. Greetings! She teaches every hour of the day Even after four has a meeting, She likes originals in Geometry And spelling-down in German, She teaches Latin too, you see. So she hasn’t time for a sermon. Her heart is in the right place too, Her wit is over flowing And even though her teaching’s new, Her classes keep on going. MISS IDA JOHNSON, The next teacher in line. As the head of Commercial branches And teacher of writing is fine Her courses in shorthand and book-keeping, Are exceedingly popular you see. Her department is bound to grow And will both large and prosperous be In a business like manner. And her social affairs, — Well, them we’ll not mention. Our young music teacher So jollv and fair Is MISS BESSIE McKINDLEY With a voice very rare. She trains choruses and glee-clubs. In a manner that tells And her baton is to be watched, Or it will probably be felt. We understand it, (sometimes) And the way we draw scales Proves the strength of our minds. S. D. ’13.

We are loyal! We are earnest! And true greatness is our aim, For past honor now returnest, And our character proclaims. When we entered here as Freshmen We were of the greenest hue, To our sturdy, blushing classmen Freshman life was very new. High School ways did sure perplex us, Conning lessons o’er and o'er. Sophomores certainly did vex us Leaving paper on the floor. Then as Sophomores how we flourished Living on Miss Webster’s praise, But we soon became discouraged Lost in Geometric haze. Juniors now we stand unequalled We’re the greatest ’mongst our clan Both in numbers and in knowledge We’re the best o’er all the land ? ? ? When we’re Seniors let’s remember. We have but our best to do. And they’ll say of every member, To his motto he was true. L. K. ’14 —17 — THE JUNIORS OFFICERS: President Ernest Miller. Secretary and Treasurer Vera Robertson. Colors — Lavender and White. Class Flower — Lilac. Oh! but we Juniors are proud of our class! We have more members than any class in school, altho we have to take the front seats after the Seniors have had their choice, all manage to find room in the assembly room. Thru all our life in High School we have been noted for the accomplishment of great deeds, such as translating Caesar and working originals in Geometry, and being able to withstand all things even First Year German. Tho we have lost most of that supercilious feeling we acquired when Sophomores we have not yet attained that sedate and serious manner, which we expect to have next year, as Seniors. We are now enjoying the task of writing orations. It is very unusual for the Juniors to write orations but on account of our special liking (?) for them, we were given permission to write them. We are very proud of Donald Faxon who is teaching a class of Algebra students. We all wonder why Donald is so bright, but perhaps it's because he works! We had the largest percent of Honor Students last Semester which speaks well for our knowledge and hard work. (The Seniors say we are the teachers’ pets but that’s because they are jealous.) So here’s to the Junior class, may her fame live when we are gone! And as Seniors we will try and live up to the standard we have raised. L. K. '14. — 20 — — 21 — Vice Pres., Mildred Rasmusen. Sec. and Trcas., Leona Ogilvie. THE SOPHOMORES Pres., Harry Darnell. Color8 — Purple and White. We entered the main assembly room this year several less in number than we were last year, but with a little of the green worn off. That is some of us entered but owing to the small seating capacity a few must be still confined in the Freshman prison. O, the joy of skipping your turn! We are a rather cheerful bunch, too. Kindly refer to class picture. As for brains we have little to say. The Sophomores of last year may lend a little of their superfluous grey matter. We are close to them in honor students, however. Rex Meilinger. Half-Back; Harry Darnell, End; and Ed Kukuk. Quarter-Back, represent the Sophomores in the eleven. We also have possession of several blooming aspirants to the foot lights. “Isay Black’s Quartette” and the “S. H. S. Vodvil Co.” are both composed largely of Sophomores. On the return of this noted company from abroad a smell of tainted vegetables etc. prevailed. We had as much trouble as “Teddy” Roosevelt in our presidential movements. Harry Darnell was elected president in September; but thinking S. H. S. not good enough he is rushing groceries in Warner’s Store. Then Mildred Rasmussen became commander-in-chief, and is filling the place as well as she does everything else. Leona Ogilvie. as secretary and treasurer is having her share of the cares of life. She stoutly claims the hardest proposition to pay class dues. “Loosen up, tight wads!” The Freshmen look at the Sophomores with love in their hearts and erasers in their hands. Ah! we will never forget a little party, on a dark night, in a certain back yard last fall. Both Sophomores and Freshmen were present. Sophomores mostly. At the hour of 9:30 P. M. delightful refreshments were served by the Sophomores in a very tempting manner. All the Sophomores had a fine time. If you want to know how the Freshmen liked it, ask Dwight Ladd. Max Berry, etc. Among the little things we have noticed during the vear are: Willie Polakowsky. The question asked by Miss Bunnel that stumped the Caesar class (not the only one) “Now what would you do with a class like this?” We should worry. The Bookkeeping class is going some this year. Russel Wright and Paul Coy especially. Here’s to Miss Johnson. Don Faxon teaches an Algebra class. All his little pupils love their dear teacher We don’t know whether he likes them or not. The height of ambition: To get your lessons like Mildred Rasmussen. To chew gum like Willie Polakowsky. One of us met a “toad” headed Swede from Le-land the other night. We asked him how he got in. He said, “O. I guess it bane alright, Frances Lake, she’s in now.” Well here’s to the time when we’re Juniors, then we’ll try to show the Seniors a few things. In closing we wish to say we are the greatest and noblest class that—Ouch! don’t throw that now! J. T. ’15. iGNaR fNCE IS BUSS THE FRESHMAN CLASS FKESBHAX CLASS Witii fear and trembling, the Freshman class of 1912-13 made their first appearance at S. H. 8. ear:; on the morn of September second. At first, we (with the exception of the Norwegian twins, Alma and Olive) thought High School a great joke, but. much to our sorrow, found we had another thought coming. Miss Webster thinks that some of the Freshmen do a great deal of unnecessary giggling, but how can we help it when we have so many jokes? Leonora Bieritz has lost her “Rood’ness, though the polish acquired thereby jM not Yet visible. Esther Hennis has been practicing her latest art, sign printing on the backs of various members of the class. Dorothy Hinman has developed a wonderful raate for “Bunnies of late. Wanted—Someone in S. H. S. to save Gertrude Bernard from the fate of cats, canaries, corkscrew curls and teacups. Coon (in Physiography class), Yes, Leonard chere is quite a hit of wind in a hurricane. There is a good reason why the pupils between Ruby Burdick and Frances Hickey show marked improvement in their studies. Their term on the R. F. D. has expired. Thought he won't admit it, we're all sure William Toombs is practicing to be an orator. By the way, Willie's smile has at last made an impression. Lost: March II. One pair rubbers size 34, mates. One for the left and one for the right foot. When last seen were somewhat covered with mud and traveling downward. Finder please return to Myrtle Clancy and recieve liberal reward.

Oiry.steila Bark is one of the favorites—especially with the upper classmen. Milton KehFs hear : is not with the Freshmen. WHY????? Why was it that Hugh Fanning and Chrysteila Bark gave up Ancient History and took Commercial Arithmetic at the same time? It seems so strange. We are all very proud of our class. No one has dropped out and furthermore we all expect to graduate in the year uineteen hundred and sixteen with full honors. M. €L ’IS — 25 — — 26 — FOOT-HA LI The S. H. S. team had a successful season under the leadership of Capt Meilinger and aided by the fine coaching of Mr. S. J. Coon of Beloit College and of Mr. Oliver Wallace of Oberlin College. There were nine games played; five won and four lost. Of the latter those with West Aurora and with St. Charles were bitter defeats, but the other two games lost were battles from start to finish.

Full-Back in ’ll He was elected captain in ’12 and under his leadership the team had a successful season. When the team needs any help he is there with the glad hand. FIELDS, Left End, secured his position by his fast running, fine tackling and elegant head work. When things looked blue Fields was the man to cheer the boys. Sorry we have to lose Fields. WOODWARD played four years on the S. H. S. team and showed more pip this year than in any previous season. He was noted for fine tackling and excellent blocking. FAXON, Left Tackle, showed there was not another man that right fully could claim his position. If a man could gain 5 yards through Faxon he knew he han been somewhere. FREELAND, I eft Guard, earned his position by great blocking and by opening holes in the line for his back-field men. DARNELL, manager and one of the best all around players that ever wore our uniform, played Right End, to which position he held a claim throughout the season. His playing was sensational. KUKUK. The greatest field general S. H. S. has ever owned, secured his place by fine head work. When the team needed a score Kukuk was the man to get it. The team is fortunate that he is to be with them for two years more. REX MEILINGER, Left Half Back proved himself worthy of his position. His old, straight arm made ’em all sit up and take notice. In the Ottawa game he made the count stand 7—0 in favor of S. H. S. KEHL was one of the best Centers Sandwich ever had on the job. Tackling was his main feature. KING, Right Guard, altho a light man showed the coaches that he deserved his position. He made the treat sprint Thanksgiving Day and saved S. H. S. from being shut-out. DILLON, Grand old Full Back, made his place by his great line plunging. He could be depended upon to make four or five yards at a time. He was a great help to the team. CASTLE started the season at Left Tackle but in the St. Charles came was hurt which put him out for the rest of the season. This weakened the team considerably. MILLER, star Center of last year, went into Right Tackle position and when Ernie got into the game woe to these opponents. HICKEY Left Guard, first year on the team, proved worthy of his position. His 150 lbs. keep his opponents from getting the better of him. BRIDGENS and WELLS as subs helped the team whenever they were needed. Another year both ought to become regulars. THE MELTON AC A bright light shone thru the frosted-glass door marked, “Board of Directors.” It was not the regular night for the monthly board meeting. But dark figures, one by one, were mounting the stone steps and entering the low, stone building. Something must be up! “Gentlemen,” began Mr. Gaslow, in opening the meeting, “as the president of the Melton Academy for Young Ladies, I have called this meeting, although I know it is out of order, because I felt I must lay before you a situation which I consider critical. Mr. Grey tells me that our resources are $50,000 and our liabilities some $58,00). Of course, gentlemen, this i not a serious deficit, but you certainly realize that it must be attended to.” Mr. Grey arose. “A-hem-er, lellow-directors, I will, er give you a few details. We have—er, about ninety pupils, where about three years ago we had about a hundred and sixty. Er terrible, is it not? Then the professors have all demanded an outrageous increase in salary and er, men are not sending their—er children, because we have not the latest improvements. A-hem!” He sat down mournfully. Another member arose, “Mr. President, I beg A DEMY ENDOWMENT to offer a suggestion. If you will permit. I will say that old Dr. Marshall, who gives so much to the Elgin Asylum, is becoming interested in education. Now, if it is not asking too great a favor, I will continue, why not ask him for an endowment? I thank you for your kind indulgence.” The idea was put to a vote and carried. I)r. Marshall was summoned. “Yah, vat vas it, vitch mit me you vant? said the Herr in no good humor. “Calm yourself, my dear doctor. We only wish to lay before you a business proposition. Our school has been one of the best in the State and is, in fact, at the present time, but is not up to the old standard. This year we had quite a deficit. Now, we thought that yo i with your millions, and your kind disposition, would consent to endow our humble school, we must have funds some way.” “Ach, I see all retty, we min . once have funz yet. Effrybody funz, by dander. But funz! me? nix. I will it to give nicht, I suppose.” Here he became very exited. “They is wort not mit a damn.” Then he broke off into spasmodic German, which one of the board interpreted to the others as follows: 30 — The old doctor was saying that he could never get a girl to serve his table or dust expensive furnishings or bric-a-brac, and that he thought girls should be taught such branches. “I tells you, by dunder, you deach der girls to duster fixins, ach, to make gut, by dunder, gut 1’raus. I gives, you, der funz!” The board had not wished to establish an industrial school. However arguments, pleadings and even threatenings were of no avail. All they could get out of the old doctor were curses upon modem education. Finally, the board gave in and consented to introduce Domestic Science, and other studies which the doctor demanded, if he would give them an endowment. Herr Marshall wrote them a cheque for che first installment and the board signed an agreement to establish the required courses. The deficit had to be made up some way. Improvements were made both in the equipment and in the course of study, at the old academy. They taught, or attempted to teach domestic science, home economy and household arts in general. They even built an eight room cottage for the girls to practice their training in. One passing by, would often see a young lady shaking a rug or stirring cake batter. The girls did not consider their training a hardship, as there were many young men in Melton, who seemed to consider the walk past the Academy a very attractive one and the pretty girls in their neat ginghams with dainty cap and apron a charming picture. The invitations from the boys were many, but whe her this fad or the training in household arts was the cause of increased attendance was not known. At any rate the school flourished and there were more applications from prospective seudents than there were places to put them. Invitations were out for a reception at the Marshall’s. Some titled German gentlemen were to be present. Herr Marshall had sent for two Melton girls to help at the house. President Gaslow sent Helen Ledyard, “Happy,” for short and Gladys de Vilzhoven, a French girl. It was nine o’clock on the morning of the Marshall function. Herr Marshall chanced into the library with Duke Percy Craig, who had arrived on an early train. Crash! — a little scream from Percy. The remains of an old Greek relic, a fine vase inlaid with silver designs, hung around the duke’s neck like a ruff and his monacle had dropped out of his eye. Both he and the Herr looked up. On the top of a high ladder sat Helen who had been dusting, looking rather sheepish. — 31 Of course the occurence had been an accident, but it was annoying. “Ah, how beastly impudent, don’t you know, Marshall, old chap?,” cried the duke. “Ach, out of my house get mit you. I—I—” exclaimed the angry German. But the laughter in Helen’s brown eyes made the duke interpose as they left the room. “Really, don’t you know, I don’t believe she meant it.” Helen sat on the top step of the ladder considering whether she should leave or not, when a startled exclamation from Gladys made her turn. Her chum had gone down to the kitchen only to find the chef on the floor apparently asleep? his face showing marks of over indulgence in a certain flat flask. What should they do! Phone to the cottage for help, but no, it was vacation and only five girls left. And for sure, they weren’t up on French cookery. Presently, Betsy Watt and Mayme Dixon joined them. The four managed to drag the old chef out into the garage and roll him under the big motor. Here dripping gasoline served some hours after dinner had been served to rouse him from his stupor. Now about dinner! Mayme suggested German fare such as, Brown Bread, Sauer Kraut, Baked I Beans, and Weenies. This plan was adopted. Dinner went off nicely considering the menu. Herr Marshall was very, very angry, for he expected that his guests would despise such fare. But even Duke Craig seemed to relish the German rood, between his furtive glances at Helen Ledyard, who flitted about with the dishes. He was almost in love with the girl. After dinner Herr Marshall let out his wrath even before his guests. Duke Craig tried to calm him, “Why the dinner was perfectly charming, old chap and so different, not a dish I ever have tasted, don’t you know. The maid, the pretty brown eyed one, don’t you know, is so exquisitely perfect in every detail, old chap she has really charmed me.’’ “Ach, but I, de las and der a la modes, vitch you likes, ordered, but dese I like, better myself,” he said a little more passively and finally quieted down until that very night he sent a checqe for the rest of the endowment to the Melton Academy. It was explained to Duke Percy Craig that Helen was not really a maid but from a wealthy family and now, I believe, they are on their wedding tour somewhere in Europe. The rest are all getting on happilv in their various occupations. C. P. C. ’15 LOVE UNREQUITED At an early age, part of the burdens of family life fell on the bony shoulders of Fatty Malone. He was but twelve years of age when the little undersized lad whose brown eyes sparkled and whose voice carried a brogue, applied for the important job of office boy and chief duster in the busy lawyers office in Chicago. Among the raft of boys that crowded the business-like waiting room and sprawled on the chairs until they looked like microbes under the glass, Patty’s clean face and clear eye so impressed Mr. Flint that Patty got the job. Now Pats’ experience in the girl question was limited to certain little black-haired, red-flannel-skirted, harem-skarens of his own particular neighborhood. To say the least, he was not fascinated. When approached on the subject by certain of his boy companions some received a scorching “Huh” others a black eye. So, Patty was wholly unprepared for what was to come. On entering the office on his first morning duties, being the first one there, he looked carefully over the grounds. There was the business-like office he had seen before with its oak table in the center on which were a few books, some charts hung on the frescoed walls. He entered the private office through the frostglass door; saw the big mahogany desk by the window and over by the other window, in the corner a small table with a typewriter. On this table a single rose drooped in a tumbler of water. Patty was at once disgusted. “Probably some gigglin’ female,” he snorted, and promptly turned away. In a short time, Mr. F'lint entered the office ,and found OPatty dusting the oak 'table in the reception room. “Hello, Pat,” he cheerfully called out. “Morning, sir,” Patty responded in a tone equally cheerful. “Miss Green in yet?” Mr. Flint asked while removing his overcoat. “Who?” “Why, my stenographer.” “No, sir.” “Huh!,” was the laconic reply. Promptly at nine o’clock, the door to the reception room opened, a dark eyed, perfumed dream floated in, it’s hair was composed of the latest style. Patty blinked then thinking of 'his new duties, “Wish to see Mr. Flint, madam?” — 33 Her little laugh sounded like the bell at the head of a whist party. “Why, Bo. I’m the little stenog.” Patty gasped and was gone. She twinkled into the private office and swayed into the chair before the typewriter. When Patty came to himself, he was being roughly asked by a fat old German, “Where was the boss?” On entering the private office he again saw the Dream but remained conscious this time. When 4:30 came the dream prepared to go. This time she called, “Ta, ta, Patsey.” Pat gazed long at the frosted-glass door. That evening he spent a nickle and got the biggest apple he could find. Next morning, he placed it on the Dream’s desk. So the days went by every morning she called, “Lo, Bo.” And every evening, “Ta, ta, Patsy.” Then he would gaze at the frosted-glass door and sigh; then go to her desk and carefully dust it and the floor beneath. In two weeks time he vowed he would marry her when he became just a few years older. Then he would sigh and long for grey hair. One evening he thought he would see if it would have any effect on his age. One of the neighbor’s made some slighting remark concerning the action ayd Fatty promptly licked him. One morning Patty came with a larger apple than usual. Promptly at 8:30 Mr. Flint came in and took his chair. Nine o’clock came, Patty planted himself in the reception room. Nine thirty came. No dream! Patty went into the private office and said unconcernedly. “Miss Green in yet?” “Who?” “Miss Green.” “Why son, she married the floorwalker last night,” was the unfeeling reply. Patty wilted like an orchid on a radiator and turned away with tears in his voice. His dream had vanished like mist in the night. J. T. SIR ROGER I)E COVKRLY HAS A DREAM OF SANDWICH HIGH SCHOOL I arose one morning a few days after my arrival at Sir Roger’s country estate and found that gentleman eating his breakfast very slowly and thoughtfully. Indeed, he was so delightfully quiet and owl like that I was twice tempted to ask the cause of it but I knew that if it was any of my business I would soon hear of it. Accordingly, after breakfast when we were seated comfortably in Sir Rogers cozy sitting room he aroused from his reverie, and very abruptly put this question before me. “Mr. Spectator, have you ever in your sleep, or in your day dreams, dreamt of the future, of how our future generations shall be educated, of the many great inventions sure to come from the great minds of future men?” I replied that I had often done so but had never very seriously thought of them. “Last night,” he began, “I had a most impressive and curious dream. I was floating across the ocean in a great ship, more like a city on the water than anything I could think of. There were many queer contrivances of which I could make nothing. In the middle of this great floating city were great, still monsters of engines which furnished motive power for the ship. The officers also communicated with the people on land by means of many odd looking instruments that the passengers said were wireless telegraphs. But enough of this great ship, so full of wonderful creations. Upon leaving the ship I was quickly loaded into a long house upon wheels, which in turn rolled on heavy steel tracks, and soon was flying along a very astonishing rate of speed. In fact, I could not think otherwise than that we were flying. In a small space of time we stopped and I left the house-flyer, which I learned was a train drawn by a steam engine.” “I had no more than stepped from the train than I was standing in front of an imposing brick building, with a large green lawn surrounding it. A young man, passing by me, turned up the broad white sidewalk and passed through the large swinging doors. I followed him up the walk and through the doors and found myself in a large comfortable hall, which was filled with students running hither and thither with books under their arms and pencils delicately balanced back of their ears. Nobody seemed to notice me, and it seemed as though pictures were passed before my eyes in close succession. First a large class room nearly full of young people studying very hard. Another picture, — a room that I took to be a laboratory, was filled with hundreds of bottles containing chemicals etc. A large glass-fronted case was full of many queer instruments, while a professor was giving a lecture on subjects pertaining to Physics, though I could understand very little of what he said.” “Again another picture came to my eyes, of a room containing many little machines with numerous keys and levers protruding from it. These I learned were typewriters which, on pressing the right keys, would print on paper what the operator wished to write. The students were learning to write on these machines and seemed to take delight in punching the keys, though by the noise made it is doubtful whether the other nearby classes did very much studying.” “The pupils seemed to be a studious yet a happy crowd. They explained to me that this was due to a peculiar influence called “school spirit.’ The lower class, which they called Freshmen seemed not to have acquired this praiseworthy habit of mind, but the teachers seemed to express hopes of them in the future.” “There was much waste room in the space given to wraps. If this could be connected with what they called the Study hall there would be much saving of time and energy now used in moving from one room to another.” The students seemed to be original in their enterprises. They really enjoyed earning money to be used in adding more conveniences to their school.” “The floors seemed to be of a peculiar substance that scaled off att the slightest touch. I was unfortunate enough to run a huge sliver into my shoe.” “They studied many topics unheard of in my day, Economics, Physiology, Shorthand. I wish my chaplain could have studied English: perhaps, then he could have written his own sermons.” That is all I got of the old mans conversation for wearied of so long a talk I fell asleep and did not awake until about twilight. Since then I have been very sorry that I did not take down his exact speech for the benefit of the good people of i D. K. ’15 THE PRISONER' She stood before the Bar, her arms folded under the worn plaid shawl and her head bowed dejectedly. The Judge’s keen eyes seemed to read her soul as he asked. “You plead guilty, do you not?” “Yis, Your Honor,” was the muffled response from the depths of the shawl. The reportes lounging in the Courtroom yawned and wished that something exciting would turn up: This sordid little event was but common ex- perience in Court. The Judge scrutinized the woman’s face, then he said, “Well, Mrs. O’Murfree, this seems to be a first offence. So up to this time you have been an honest woman, have you?” “Yis, Your Honor.” “Then why did you steal now? Have you anything to say for yourself?” “Yis, Your Honor. I did lift that doll.” She raised her head defiantly as she jerked out the words, “An I aint ashamed on it, neither. I can’t say but as how I’d do the same thing over agin if I was put in the same place.” The reporters lifted their heads alertly and with poised pencils waited for the woman’s next words. This sounded promising. “Careful, careful, Mrs. O’Murfree,” admonished the Judge. “That kind of talk will not serve to mitigate your punishment.” “I can’t help it, I’m spaking the truth. I aint ashamed and I aint sorry I done it! I don’t believe as how the Allmighty will hold it agin my name fer a minute. I’ll tell ye just how it was, Judge. I stood there in front of the great glass winder on Christmas Eve and looked in at them — 37- S TESTIMONY toys. They was wonderful, Judge. Then I went inside so as I could see them closer.” “My little Maggie had written a letter to Santa Claus, and she wanted a doll, a pretty doll, with blue eyes that could open and shut. An, an she was expectin it, too. She believed Santy would bring it fer her,” the woman quavered. “Your Honor, I'm a hard worken woman, but between payin the rent, and the coal bill and the Doctor's bill, fer Maggie aint strong, an all the other bills, he knew there wasn’t much left fer to buy a doll.” Why, Your Honor look at these hands,” and she extended them with dramatic appeal. “They are rough and hard, can’t you see, Your Honor that they’ve washed and scrubbed and cleaned,” ishe demanded almost fiercely. “Your Honor, them’s hard-worken hands an they’ve alius been honest hands until 1 saw that doll in the winder. It had big. blue eyes that went to sleep and yellow curls just like my Maggie wanted. It cost a heap, I couldn’t buy it, an it just seemed to say ’take me’. An, Your Honor, I just took it an I, I put it under my shawl.” The quavering voice broke and the only sound in the Courtroom was that of a woman’s sobbing. The Judge blew his nose rather violently. The reporters wrote rapidly. All except one young fellow who was still green enough not to be hardened. Tears glistened unashamed in his frank eyes. Then the gruff voice of the Judge broke the stillness. “Under the circumstances I think we will consider the case discharged. V.
