I as THE REVEHLLE 1 a l Gllaan Mrnphrrg EVERAL days ago I sat musing as to what the future held in store for me when, in fancy, the postman handed me an envelope which contained an invitation to join some friends in a motoring trip through the East. I hailed the invitation with delight. Accordingly, we started out one day early in June, and after a ride of four days arrived at Terrytown. Leaving the other lnembers of our party, I went out to Sleepy Hollow and found it quite up to lny expectation in its picturesque beauty. I sat down i11 a sheltered place to rest and soon became drowsy, as all who go there do. I thought of Icabod l'rane's experience with the headless rider illld of other things I had heard about the Hollow, when I, too, began to feel as if I had quaffed of the liquor of the dwarfs as Rip Van VVinkle had one .lay in the Catskills, and I began to get more and more drowsy until finally I fell asleep. I awoke with a sense of having been asleep for some time. I arose and made my way back to town. Everything was changed, and to make a long story short, 1 found that the date was 1930. Just then it dawned upon me that I had been asleep for twelve years. A stranger, dressed in the fashion of a generation before, in a strange place, without friends, what was I to do? Glancing around I saw the name Williams over a sporting goods store. The name, at least, was familiar, and I made my way to it. Upon entering it I was confronted by none other than John himself. I recognized him instantly, although it was with some difficulty I made him un- derstand my situation. When at last he did, he took me to his home, where his family did everything that kindness could prompt, his wife even giving me some of her apparel. After such treatment my spirits arose and I spent the evening asking questions. Fortunately, John, being a friend of all the old classmates, had kept in touch with them and could answer all my questions. It was not necessa1'y to ask John of himself, for I could see that he was dealing in sporting goods, was happily married Calthough I am still wonde1'ing how it happened, knowing how he regarded girls in high schoolj and showed evidence of prosperity. John related to me as follows: Virgil Miller took an agricultural course at Purdue, then went to Brazil, where land was cheap, and putting his scientific knowledge to the test is causing the land to reap bountiful harvests. Louise Cooperider attended a finishing school, where she devoted all her time to music and elocution, and is now on the Uhautauqua platform. Russell Hardy bought one of those things QDIAMONDSJ soon after leaving school. Now he is head of the Physics department of f'ornell University. Uecil Miller has become a famous grand opera singer. Her voice, together with her accomplishments on musical instruments, has made her exceedingly popular. PAGE 'l'WVEN'l'Y-SENEN 1
