10 THE SANDY TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL FLAMBEAU Bag Erratum Uh. dear! sighed lietty Allison as she gazed longingly out through the window of Miss Hi-ay's class-room. How horribly stupid it is in here today. I never did experience such a day as this before in my life! Although not a contirmed admirer of lessons, or work of any kind. lletty was by no means the most stupid in her class. but was on the contrary, a very bright young lady with great ability and boundless resources. She was of medium build, having laughing l-lue eyes and fair complexion. which was set off admirably by the alunnlance of dark brown curly hair which clustered about her brow ol' marble whiteness. Being a girl of jolly ways and sunny disposi- tion. she held the respect of all her class mates. and foundeamong the members of either sex many staunch and true friends. However, for her. school held no charms. for. being a child of romance. it was hard to endure the never ceasing routine of every day school life. Her chief pleasure lay in either reading or writing stories chuck full of romance and to this end she had always worked and planned. 'l'here was so little in school to excite her imagina- tion, which was, of course. quite necessary in writing. and, feeling an ever growing tendency to roam about in quest of unusual scenes and occurrences. she plead incessantly for her mother to give con- sent to her leaving school in search of new and ditferent haunts. lint all to no avail. Mrs. Allison was a kind and indulgent mother but in this one thing refused to give in to her entreaties. Being older she could forsee the dilticulties with which Betty would have In struggle if left to follow her own inclinations and leave school at so early an age. being now only in her sophomore year of High School. As the days became warmer and the skies more blue. school became even more unbearable to this little lass, and the day just mentioned seemed especially so. 'Phat evening, however. her mother failed to hear her remonstrance against such monotony. She had determined what to do and immediately set to forming her plans for the execution of her own wishes and the working out of her own future. Betty was naturally a thrifty girl, and had. during the winter. saved up ahnost titty dollars from her allowances. which amount she had deposited in a savings bank of that town. She decided that she would start for school, as usual. the following day, but instead of going as she had always done before, would go to the bank and draw out the money. and then return home at the usual lunch hour. She had previously heard her mother remark that she would be away for the day, so this would give her the opportunity to make good her departure. She could easily slip upstairs and change her dress for one more suitable for traveling. and with this and other necessary articles from her wardrobe neatly packed in a small traveling bag. would again watch her opportunity for descending by awaits of a back stairway which led to a side porch rarely frequented by any of the household, and then once having gained the street, escape would be an easy matter. Everything worked out just as she had planned and there was but one hindrance to her triumph. lt was her tirst act of deceit and, spurred on by the thought of the realization of her highest hope and ambitions, she had hardly stopped to consider the step which she was taking. This she now realized but seemed to think it was too late to retrace her steps and so kept steadily onward. She might have missed that whole day of school in vain, and when her monthly report. would be handed to her parents, would have no excuse to otfer for that day of absence. except she confess the whole truth. and. oh. how could she ever do that! lmpossible. she told herself, and as she had gone that far, decided to carry out her plans, and when she had at last won success and fame would return to her parents and confess all. By this time Betty was at the station. and having barely time to pulchase her ticket, hurried on. just boarding the train as it was about to pull out. Her ticket had been bought for New York, and as she settled herself comfortably in the softly cushioned seat of the pullman. tried to imagine herself in that great metropolis all alone! On and on she rode till nearly nightfall-every passenger intent upon their own affairs. paying no attention whatever to this young miss traveling all alone for so great a distance. At last there was a sudden crash, and from that time Betty knew nothing till she awoke in a little white bed in the hospital. The engine. in going around a curve, had been derailed. throwing several of the cars over an embankment. the lives of few of the
