E may safely say that no class of people should be more interested in the century just begun than should the young people of our high schools and colleges. The nineteenth century now exists only in his- tory. and the people who have lived and died in it will soon he looked upon as belonging to another time. '1 he customs, manners, dress, and all that go to make up the daily life of an enlightened peo- ple, and which were in vogue at the close of the las: century, will, before many years, be made the sub- ject for much comment as to their imperfection EXCHANGE EDITOR.

BEAN, 1904- compared with the present, just as we now regard the customs of the country even as late as the Civil War. The nineteenth century is remarkable for its mar- velous progress in all that is included in the scope of the word knowledge. In rapidity of develop- ment, wealth of great events and discoveries, ex- pansion of thought and knowledge, and the im- provement of social conditions, the ninetenth cen- tury has surpassed all of the preceding centuries combined. There has been a certain unfolding of thought and life, a reaching out after new things, a 76 SOMERVILLE HIGH .SCHOOL RADIATOR. tendency to probe into e� ’en the deepest mysteties of life, that has carried us along at a tremendous pace: and each year sees new and wonderful addi- tions made to the world’s accumulation of knowl- edge. The past century alone has seen such vast changes, such inestimable improvements brought about by research, discovery, or invention, that, even though a man slave all his life in studying some particular subject, as in science, he will realize as his years draw to a close that life is too short for more than the merest beginning of knowledge. If this century is as full of great events and iin- jrovements as the past has been, we shall be in- ch nod to agree with the one who said that pcop'e would “need to be born with a.college education in order to keep up with the times”; or, as Thomas Per cock said of the century:— What searching eye Shall pierce the mists that veil its onward course, And read the future destiny of man? � � � � 'P HE February R adiator is to be published as an Editor’s number: that is. it will contain sketches or stories by the members of the staff. 'I bis idea is not a new one. having long been in vogue among the colleges. The number will contain many illus- trations. and as it will be bound in a beautiful and appropriate cover, it will be a number which every member of the schools should wish to keep, or it will make a very acceptable valentine to those brothers (?) and sisters (?) for whom we arc so so- licitous. � , P AST year the girls made a great “hit” in intro- ducing basket bail into the schools, and 1-v their enthusiasm their efforts were crowned with success. The schools were full to overflowing with enthusiasm, and parents and friends of the playei took a great interest in the welfare of the associa- tions. Everywhere young ladies were to be heard talking of basket ball. In the corridors, the dress- ing rooms, or in the classrooms groups of girls were talking basket ball, discussing the merits of rival ♦earns, or the many excellent points of the sport. This vear all this is changed, and sweet res , reigns supreme, especially in the Senior classes. We bardlv hear basket ball mentioned, and there s just enough enthusiasm to keep the sport alive. I is to be regretted, too. for we have just as strong, supple, athletic young ladies in our schools this ycai as last. We have just as good facilities for practice, and just as many admiring young men, eager to at tend the games, as heretofore. The trouble lies with the girls themselves. They lack enthusiasm and determination to succeed. 'I bis is especially true of the Seniors, who seem to have fallen back into their old-time apathy, and sav they do not care to play. They seem to have for- gotten that it is their place to stir up the old-time ardor among their classmates, to lead, instead of follow, to promote, instead of lying idlv by and help- ing fccblv to maintain. The public eye is upon you. eagerly waiting to see basket ball once more assume its proper condition, to be worthy a place among the athletic associations of S. H. and L. It rests with you to put it there. You can if you will. k Til the new year came the new city govern- ment and the installation of the new Mayor. Mr. Glines We arc pleased to note that, in his ad- dress to the Foard of Aldermen, he mentioned the need of an addition to the High School building, or a new Latin School. We, too, beg to be allowed to put in our idea that something may be done to re- lieve the crowded condition of the English High School. We hope Mayor Glines will not let the matter drop by simply mentioning it in his address, but that lie will sec that some measure is put through which will give to us a building which will be both commodious and fitted with all of the modern conveniences, such as a gymnasium, a large, spacious hall of assemblage, and such other things as the needs require. These things wc mention be- cause a gymnasium we have none, and our lecture hall has been transformed into classrooms. This question has been under discussion for the past four years, certainly a sufficient time for the people of even Somerville to take action. Our city prides herself on the excellent educational advan- tages she affords, yet she takes no action to furnish proper accommodations to growing and progres- sive schools like the Latin and English. QWIXG to the increase in sales, advertising, and the number of exchanges, the management has been obliged to change the regular issue from 00 to 750 copies, the largest regular issue ever vet put on sale. The Raptator is certainly a permanent organ in the schools. Wc shall be greatly pleased if you will continue to give us your support even more generously, that wc may be able to give you still more for your money. r pOR our cover design this month wc are indebted to Harry L. Jones, of the Mechanical Drawing Department, who also drew the heading for “The Library and the Schools.” by Mr. Foss. SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 77 THE LIBRARY AND THE SCHOOLS The public library and the public schools are educational twins, and should treat each other like brothers. Until comparatively recent years these two in- stitutions never knew they were twins and treated each other as aliens and strangers. The public library in a city like Somerville should sustain much the same relation to the public schools shall always be an ex-officio member of the board of library trustees, and the librarian or the president of the library board of trustees shall be an ex-officio member of the school committee. All this would enable each of these co-ordinate de- partments of education to learn of the needs and the equipments of the other, and help them to work with less creaking of the machinery, and more di- SOMERVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. schools as a college library sustains to the various departments of a college. The schools and the library together form a great municipal university. The relations between the library and the schools are close: but there arc special ways in which these relations may be made closer. I hope the time will come when, in all cities exceeding fifty thousand inhabitants, the superintendent of rectly for each other's benefit. This would put these two important educational departments, to a certain extent, under one management and make a greater unity of effort possible. A perfectly well-equipped public library (few public libraries are perfectly well-equipped) should supply every schoolroom in its city with special libraries suitable to its grades, containing as many 78 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. books as the teachers in these rooms may from time to time require. All teachers should be permitted to take out on special teachers' cards practically as many books as they may need. Of course it is understood that teachers, under this arrrangement, would not de- sire to take out all the latest novels. As professors in a college or university arc privileged to use as many books from the university library as they desire, so the teachers in the public schools should be given the same privileges in the public pupils received all their instruction exclusively from the text-book. Collateral reading was un- known. Now pupils are encouraged to find in- formation from whatever source it is derivable. To aid them in the search for this information, the library should open to them all its resources. An old institution, without constant watchfulness, may find itself growing oblivious to the needs of the young mind. For this reason, the library should be especially open to the suggestions of high school pupils and should purchase, as a general DELIVERY ROOM OK PUBLIC LIBRARY. library. Professors also recommend for purchase such books as are needed in their various depart- ments, and these books are purchased by the libra- rian for the professors’ use. In the same manner, all teachers should recommend to the librarian the l ooks that arc needed for their special use, and the librarian should purchase these books whenever they are recommended. The same rule that applies to the teachers of the public schools should, under certain restrictions, apply to the pupils of the high schools. Formerly rule, all the books they ask for along the lines of their current study. The. Somerville public library now has a special school librarian, Miss Edith li. Hayes, who will always be ready to consider any suggestions made to her, either by the teachers or the pupils of the public schools. Her time is at the disposal of the schools, and it is hoped that her department may furnish a bond of closer co-operation between these two educational agencies.

SO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. The Death of the Old Year. Selected from Tennyson. Full knee-deep lies the winter snow, And the winter winds are wearily sighing: Toll ye the church-bell, sad and slow, And tread softly and speak low; For the old year lies a-dying. Old year, you must not die; You came to us so readily, You lived with us so steadily; Old year, you shall not die. He lieth still; he doth not move; He will not see the dawn of day; He hath no other life above; He gave me a friend and a true, true love, And the Ncw-year will take them away. Old year, you must not go; So long as you have been with us, Such joy as you have seen with us,— Old year, you shall not go. He frothed his bumpers to the brim ; A jollier year we shall not see. But though his eyes are waxing dim, And though his foes speak ill of him, He was a friend to me. Old year, you shall not die; We did so laugh and cry with you, Pve half a mind to die with you, Old year, if you must die. He was full of joke and jest. But all his merry quips are o'er. To see him die, across the waste His son and heir doth ride post-haste, But he'll be dead before. Every one for his own. The night is starry and cold, my friend, And the Ncw-year blithe and bold, my friend. Comes up to take his own. How hard he breathes! Over the snow I heard just now the crowing cock. The shadows flicker to and fro, The cricket chirps, the light burns low,— 'Tis nearly twelve o'clock. Shake hands before you die. Old year, we'll dearly rue for you, What is it we can do for you ? Speak out before you die. His face is growing sharp and thin; — Alack ! our friend is gone. � Close up his eyes, tie up his chin, Step from the corpse, and let him in That standeth there alone, And waiteth at the door. There's a new foot on the floor, my friend, And a new face at the door, my friend, A new face at the door. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 81 THE WAGER OF TALLIENUS. Frank O. Vose, L. H. S., '04. Rome was a mighty city in the reign of the Caesars It had many a mile of streets and ave- nues reaching out into the surrounding country, until no one could tell where the city ended, al- though every soul knew that its centre was on a hill at the capitol. Far from the capitol. but still within the city, was the amphitheatre, or circus, where the most wonderful shows were given that the world has ever witnessed. There were held chariot and running races; gladiators of even- nation met in deadly combat: wild animals were made to tight by thousands; and the vast sandy area of the arena was often stained with blood of men and beasts. In one of the outbuildings of the circus, adjoin- ing the great dens of wild beasts, was a kind of jail, in which were kept the men who were in train- ing for the races and combats. Many of these were mere slaves put there by their owners, in the hope that some time, in a race or combat, they might win a prize for their masters. Among the slaves was a youth. Castor by name, who in his appearance seemed a Greek. Castor was a slave of a Roman senator. He was stolen from his home at Athens when about twelve years of age by a villainous uncle and carried on a ship to Rome, where he was sold to a Roman noble, named Tallienus. He had for six years been at labor in the house of Tallienus. and had been given the care of the pet animals of Flavia, his mistress. One day Tallienus said to Castor. “Last night at the banquet of Tullius, the senator, my bitter enemy, the braggart Claudius, wagered me a for- tune that I had not even the sense to train a com- mon runner. Tn the heat of his statement T ac- cepted his wager, and my good name s now at stake. I look to thee. Castor, to save thv master. To-morrow thou wilt be put in the circus to train for the races. If thou dost win. T give mv solemn promise as a Roman thou shalt be made a free man!” It was on the first day of the week when Castor was marched out of the prison with a gang of nearly fourscore others � o sec. in the presence of the august ruler of the Roman empire, how many of them were really fit to run for a prize. “Run thy best, thou Syrian panther,” said Tallienus to Castor, as he came out of the prison, “or sorrow will wait thv return! Castor had no thought of failure, for his master was a kind man and he did not want him ruined on his account. He said to himself as the runners gathered at the starting line: “T am sorrv for those who do not keep up with the race: thev perhaps will be scourged or sorrow will fill their homes.” The word was given and the runners were off. One Roman, whom Castor recognized as hav- ing seen in his master's house, mounted on a horse, cantered briskly along with the runners, and seemed to be intently watching them. Away went Castor, as light of foot as a wild roe. and the Roman on the horse was compelled to put the spurs to his nag. which was somewhat a clumsy steed. On. on. around the circus oval, and still the rider spurred his horse. Hut as they returned to the starting point, no runner was near them, for Castor was four horse-lengths ahead. Most noble Regulus, thou friend of Claudius,” came the sneering laugh from the lips of Tallienus. thou hast need of a better horse if thou art to beat my Syrian panther I will wager thee a thousand sestertia, he wins the race against thy barbarous Scythian! Taken! Aisnax can beat him!” shouted the angry Regulus. Castor had once while in the prison spoken with the Scythian boy. who was supposed to be his rival; he had learned that he had won prizes twice before in the circus: but now they were kept apart, by order of the prefect of the games, and no other trial of speed was permitted until the day of the races. The circus was a great spectacle for the people of Rome: but none of the men who were to strive in the arena were allowed to witness other per- formances. They, like the lions and wild beasts, were kept in their dens until it was time for them to play their part. Then thousands were to go out to die. but the races came before the more barbarous combats. Just before the hour of the race, the owners of the slaves who were to run and certain men of distinction were admitted to � he rooms where the runners were gathered. Among those Castor recognized Regulus. Aisnax turned pale, for the expression on the face of Regulus was dark and stern. Tie advanced and said unfeelingly to his noble bondsman:— “I promised thee a favor if thou wert among the first four. Xow. T tell thee if thou art not there T will send thee to the gallcvs for life or slav thee. Tf thou art onlv there. T will give thee a prize, but if thou wilt win the race. T will give thee life and liberty.” The Scythian boy heard in silence, for Regulus had twice before made the same promise, but he was too much of a gambler to keep his word. The trumpet sounded at the door, opening into the arena, and four lines of runners, ten in each rank, came forth, each man's place being decided by lots drawn from a box. The amphitheatre all around the oval level of ih • SOMKRVIf.LH HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 82 arena was grand in its magnificence; the scats arose tier after tier, and from them eighty thousand spectators were looking down in eager anticipa- tion. for the shows in the circus were their chief amusement. On the podium sat the emperor himself, with his gayly arrayed nobles and chiefs from all the world tributary to Rome. Castor and Aisnax were side by side in the foremost rank, and he heard the Scythian boy murmur: It is the first prize or the galleys.” Castor did not turn to look at him. for he was thinking: “The first prize, or my good master becomes a pauper, and I shall perhaps become the slave of that wicked Regulus. I must win. or I shall never see Athens again.” The trumpet once more sounded, at a signal from one of the judges, and the runners were off. Tot one of them but had proved himself worthy of a place in the race. A splendid runner was the slave of Regulus, and he shot ahead with a great bound, that called forth plaudits from the spectators. Close behind him came several others, but before the runners were a third of the distance around the arena, one tripped and fell, and others went headlong over him. More than half the rest of the runners were behind Castor now. but the speed with which they had started was too great to last long. Several of the men were shortly compelled to slacken their pace, and Castor passed them, but still away in the front, with an elastic, swinging stride, the sturdy Scythian kept the lead. Mv barbarian will win. O noble Tallienus: thy 'Syrian panther.’ as thou callest him. is twenty paces behind.” sneered Regulus, and Tallienus. who sat near, pale and nervous, replied: Wait, thou braggart, wait! Tis the last course that tells. Just then the runners came nearer: Regulus and his friend Claudius were silent until they passed. ()ncc more around and the race is finished. All are out of the race but Castor and the slave of Regulus.” cried Tallienus to his friend Tullius, who sat beside him. I shall lose my fortune if my Greek bov fails me. Look! Sec. Tullius, my Greek is gaining! They arc abreast! They still had a long run before them, but Castor and the Scythian ran side by side, and the circus rang with the applause of the multitude. From his seat Regulus saw. with much uneasi- ness. that the slave of his enemy was gaining on his own. Now. at the very last moment. Castor remem- bers his home in far-away Greece: his mother and sister, who perhaps mourn him as dead: the mis- fortunes that will befall his master if he does not win. and his promise of liberty. He gathers all his strength and energy, and as the two runners near the goal. Castor draws ahead and passes the goal, three paces in the lead of the Scythian. TIow the amphitheatre rang with the shouts, as the two. who had distanced all the rest, were led before the Prefect of the games to receive their prizes! Tallienus was there, and proclaimed his promise to Castor, and his purpose to keep it. The next day after the race Tallienus took Castor to the merchant shops of Rome and pur- chased for him new and costly robes and gar- ments. and then placed him on board a galley which was commanded by his friend Romulus, the tribune, which was bound for Athens. Before parting. Tallienus placed his hands upon the shoulders of the Greek boy. and said, affection- ately. Farewell. Castor, thou hast been a good and faithful servant. Thou hast saved the honor of my house, and as I promised. 1 have given thee thy freedom. Take this purse with my best wish: care for thy mother and sister, and the gods will bless thee. Farewell.” 0 On the morning of the second day before the calends of Tulv. Castor stood on the deck of the galley with his face turned towards the cast, watch- ing the glorious sunrise, the reflection of the red and yellow on the metallic waters, so strikingly beautiful in contrast to the snow white galley, with its gaily decorated sails spreading and bend- ing in the gentle morning wind. His thoughts were busily occupied with the scene of the race, which ended so happily for him; lie tried to imagine what had become of Aisnax, and whether Regulus had executed his threat on the poor Scythian boy by condemning him to the galleys for life. Instinctively he thought of the slaves that were laboring so steadily at the oars of his own galley, and he wondered if his rival in the race could be among them. He gained permission of the tribune to stand beside the hortator, or chief of the rowers, who was beating with his gavel on the sounding table the cadence of the stroke for all to puli together, that he might search again the number of faces for the countenance of his friend. This he had done before in the afternoons, but the rowers were changed every fourth hour, and so far his searches had proved in vain. At last he was rewarded by discovering that the seventh rower in the third bank was no other than his rival in the arena, lie was. indeed. Aisnax. the slave of Regulus. Castor made a slight signal of recognition and repaired to the tribune, who was lying on a couch enjoying the fragrant morning air. Telling the tribune of his success, for Romulus was already aware of the story of the race. Castor asked the privilege of an interview with the slave. The tribune promised to grant him his request when the rowers were changed. At last the moment arrived, and an officer brought into the presence of the tribune and (.'as- tor, Aisnax. who was tabulated as No. VII.” On his arms and on his ankles were the shackles, and his face wore a look of wonderment and anxiety. “Is thy name Aisnax?” demanded the tribune, SOMIvRYILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. � 3 and went tliou the slave of Regulus, the gambler? The Scythian bowed his head in answer. “Tell me when thou were condemned to the galleys.” Then replied Aisnax. “On the evening of the day I lost the race, although on the promise ot Regulus I had twice before won mv freedom, he summoned all of his slaves before him, then ordered his freedmen to beat us until morning came. After giving this order he retired to his chamber, opened his veins, and was found dead in the morning by the officer of the emperor, who had come to demand of him the payment of the wager he had lost to Tallienus. The officer seized all the property, and as there was not enough to pay the debt in full, with the j ortion due the state, all the able-bodied slaves—1 among the rest—were sent to the galleys until such time as we should work our release. 'Pile house was then closed and the seal of the emperor set on the portals.” So thou art not condemned for life. said Cas- tor. joyfully. No, replied Aisnax. Regulus, in his anger, forgot that part of the threat, but he knew full well what mv lot would be. Then said Castor, turning to Romulus. Dost thou believe Tallienus would purchase the freedom of Aisnax from the emperor? Then replied Romulus, who had now become interested in both his slave and his charge, and who knew full well the reputation of Regulus, the gambler. There is a law in Rome that should a debtor die as did Regulus, owing both his wager and the state, his property shall be confiscated bv the emperor and sold by his officer to justify his creditor, but the slaves become the chattels of the state, and can be bought or exchanged for sesterces if the emperor gives his consent. Whoever pur- chases such a slave has the power, of course, to free him if he chooses. In the case of No. Y1I.', or Aisnax. as thou callest him, I have no doubt that the noble Tallienus will grant you the favor you so much desire. So. my Meet-footed Castor, on the morrow write on thy tablet of wax a letter, asking him to aid you. and I will despatch it back to Rome on the first galley we meet going thither, and in the meantime Aisnax will remain with me as ‘No. VII.' ( n the morrow the tablet was despatched, and Castor prayed the gods for its safe delivery and a favorable reply. « ■ « Tallienus to Castor sends greeting:— “Peace be unto thy house. Thy letter, sent me through the noble Romu- lus, has filled me with joy. 1 have been looking for the slave Aisnax since the death of Regulus, and have been searching among the galleys of the em- peror for him, as I desire the Scythian to take thy place in my household, but thou knowest that the slaves of the galleys have no names, and my search has been a failure. As soon as I received thy tablet I interviewed the emperor, and the hour that the galley com- manded by Romulus is fastened to the mole at Ostia. Aisnax will be my slave, and before the next dawn he shall be a freeman. 1 send thee also a favor of the gods, enclosed in a casket containing this parchment: use them to grace thv mother and sister, and for thyself accept the coins. Wishing thee the favor of Jove and the gods, farewell. Tallienus. Castor in his home at Athens reads aloud this tablet of Tallienus to his mother and sister, and together they humbly pray the gods for the long life of Tallienus. THE NEW YEAR. With grave and wondering, yet expectant, eyes. Within the doorway leading from the past. Through which his predecessor may not step. The New Year pauses,—pauses, then looks back. He sees the Old Year stretched uj on his bier. And thinks how but a little hour ago Pell kindly precepts from those now mute lips,— Ripe wisdom gathered from the ages past. And standing, looking back, the young year sighs. Then, half reluctant, turns away his face To gaze upon the regions unexplored, Through which it is his destiny to go. Pager and hopeful, and yet serious. And with a little haunting of distrust. I le wonders what his coming is to bring To the great world wherein he is to move. With one last look behind, he shuts the door Upon the past, upon the dead Old Year. nd lifts one hesitating foot from off The threshold where it fain would linger still. P,ut with that step within him suddenly A courage new is born: in the free air He leaps—he bounds—he feels all through his frame A quivering thrill of happy certainty! He knows, he knows what, in his journey through The world, to all mankind he is to bring.— Perhaps much anguish, pain, heart-rending loss. Perhaps much sin and bitterest despair. But is that all? Ah. no! he is to bring To earnest men of purpose here on earth Higher ideals and nobler sentiments. Loftier motives, insight deeper far. So. all within this busy world of ours Shall bless the New Year’s advent, and take up Their burdens with as light a heart as he Who in his coming would bring naught but joy! Marv Piper. S. L.

EXCHANGE NOTES. “The Christmas Assignment,” in the Bices Mili- tary Academy Monthly, is a well-told and interest- ing story, worthy of publication in something higher than an amateur paper. The Girl of the Case” is original in style, hut somewhat stilted” in expression in places. The staff of the Omaha Register is to be compli- mented upon the success of the annual number. The exchange column of the Wakefield Beacon is of little benefit to other papers, as the exchange editor has only given the list of his exchanges, with- out criticism. “The Sophomore's Serenade,” in the Christmas Crimson and White, is an interesting sketch, with a rather original plot and style. The November Lowell Review reflects great credit upon its publishing staff. The Normal Pennant is one of our most interest- ing exchanges. “The Miniature.” in the December Volunteer, is written in a simple and interesting manner. The High School Argus for December is an ex- ceptionallv good publication. “In Bethlehem of Old is excellent, as are all the articles in the Belles-Lettres department. A Fair Exchange,” in the Christmas Racquet, is an unusuallv well-written story. Although the plot and the strange coincident” of a meeting on the other side of the globe arc common, the style is good. The Roxbury Enterprise for December is a great improvement over past numbers.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 85 AN INCIDENT OF THE REBELLION. 44 Boz ' E., 'Oi. Nestled among: die rocky hills of Nova Scotia, the village of Old Canso slumbers peacefully in the rays ot the sun. the reflection of its small window- panes brilliantly thrown back from the waters of the broad Atlantic. From either side and at the back of the village the ground slopes gradually upward, forming a protection against wind and rain for the small vallev in which Old Canso is situated. The sombre nines and hemlocks make a delightful con- trast to the small white cottages of the fishermen. In the village there is little sign of activity, but far awav on the horizon numerous fishing craft are to be seen making their way to and fro. their sails only appearing to view, reminding one of huge birds of prey gliding o’er the sea in search of food. One would scarcely think that th:s quiet hamlet had witnessed one of the most tragical incidents of our Civil W ar. yet such is the fact. When political strife rent the sections of our country, and piratical privateers preyed upon our commerce, the Alabama, the most dreaded of them all. appeared suddenly on the banks one afternoon in the fab of 1SG3. and captured an unresisting fish- ing schooner The others immediately made for the straits of Canso and anchored before the village of that name. Semmes dared not follow, as he was entirely unacquainted with the locality, and the breakers over the submerged ledge of Roaring Bull restrained him. A fleet of fourteen fishing craft were anchored closely together, waiting for a stormy night to at- tempt an escape. Among them was the two- niasted schooner Clara Jane, of Boson. The vessel was partlv owned and commanded by Captain Dun- ham. After waiting six days, the long-lookcd-for opportunity arrived in the form of a bad storm. But even this could not force the privateer to lessen her vigilance. She was still in front of the harbor, and seemed resolved to permit none to escape. The word was passed for all to leave the harbor at mid- night, and it was thought that, in the intense fog which prevailed, nearly, if not all. would escape. At the appointed hour the fourteen vessels glided softly out of the harbor, the Clara Jane, being new and one of the fastest sailers, next to the last. All went well until they passed the spot where fhe supposed the Alabama to be. when suddenly the boom swung loudly over to starboard, and the sails flapped in the breeze, betraying the presence of a vessel to any seaman. It was the fault of the helmsman, who. being interested in keeping as far as |K ssible from the dreaded spot, had sailed too far into the “eve of the wind. consequently, when the wind struck on the other side, all the sails swung over. Thev were already congratulating them- selves on the enemy’s not hearing the noise, when a hail rang out across the water. “What ship is that?” Captain Dunham immediately mounted the taffrail and called back. The British brig Oliver Cromwell; who are you?” The crew held their breath in suspense. Would the trick deceive the enemy? Could they get beyond range under cover of darkness? They were still sailing on. But the command, Lay to, till we send a boat aboard,” shattered their hopes. The captain answered. All right, sir. and in the same breath and a much lower tone gave orders to swiftly and silently tack the ship. They heard a boat being lowered and the sound of oars, then another hail, this time unanswered. Semmes, sus- pecting a trick, was now convinced of the fact, and commenced firing, hoping to locate his intended prize. For a time they were unscathed, but an un- fortunate shot struck the foremast fairly, ten feet above the deck, and it broke off. carrying with it the foresail and topsails. They were twice hulled, and again a stroke of bad luck befell them. Even while clearing away the wreckage of the foremast, the main boom was struck by another random shot, and the mainsail carried away. The crashing of wood informed the enemy of their success, and loud cheers arose from the throats of the privateersmen. They were again and again struck, and the boats were rendered useless. They were now entirely crippled and unable to move, except by tide and sea. But still they battled against fate. There was yet one chance. The privateer, not knowing of their crippled condition, might sail away in pursuit, and in the morning they could obtain assistance from Canso. as all the inhabitants were friendly. But no, thev were doomed to disappointment, for. when morning broke, the fog lifted perceptibly, and there lav the Alabama, scarcely an eighth of a mile distant. On seeing the wrecked schooner, she sailed within hailing distance, and summoned the Yankee to surrender, but, receiving no reply, boarders were called away.” and left the snip in three boats, which simultaneously attacked the ves- sel at bow. stern, and amidships. No resistance was offered until the uniformed lieutenant cut down the Stars and Stripes.” which, up to this time, had been proudly floating from the masthead. Then the pent-up wrath of the captain broke loose, and. pulling a pistol from his pocket, he shot the officer dead. 'I bis act was as a spark to gunpowder. The sailors picked up whatever was nearest their hands, and. turning on the foe. forced them back into their boats. The loss of their officer and this unexpected resistance stupefied them. But the sue cess of the Yankees was short-lived, for at this moment the captain fell mortally wounded by a shot from the ! oats. The fall of their valiant leader mad- dened the crew, and they resolved to resist to the last, and pistols, and even shot-guns, were brought forth to fight against the guns of a man-of-war. The Alabama recommenced firing, which did not 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. cease until the crippled vessel was honeycombed with shot, and not a man remained uninjured. Then the boats returned to complete their work of destruction. This time there was no resistance. The deck of the schooner was dyed a deep red—the life blood of many brave fellows. The scene was one of dreadful carnage. The dead and dying lay in heaps. Their bodies were mercilessly thrown overboard, and a few who were only slightly injured were put ashore. The schooner was then fired, and in a short time onlv a charred mass remained to tell of the act that had been committed, and the Alabama sailed away to continue her unhallowed work of destruction until that memorable nineteenth of June. 1S(!

Central street. After an opening speech by C. L. Whitaker, president of the senior class of the English school, dancing was indulged in. nearly everybody trip- ping the light fantastic toe. An order of sixteen dances was prepared by the committee, and excel- lent music was furnished by an orchestra, for which we are greatly indebted to George Norton of the English school, who generously gave up his evening. During the first half of the order we were favored with an excellent corne� solo by Mr. Nor- ton and with duets by Miss l’iper and Miss Bacon, accompanied by S. Henry Wilkins. Intermission came after the eighth dance, during which refreshments were served and excellent solos were rendered by Mr. Wilkins, accompanied by Miss Bacon. The balance of the dances were then enjoyed, and the party, which was an unusu- ally large one for a stormy night, dispersed. Everybody seemed well pleased, and it is hoped that many another such pleasant evening may be enjoyed before we join the innumerable ranks of alumni. 1 fere's to the success of our future socials, which we hope will take place often, for.— Xaughtv-one is the only One!

After an cniovablc dinner, a business meeting was held. Allan Darling, late of Lexington, was ad- mitted as a member. After a sharp contest, the following were elected officers for 1901: President. James J. Hepburn: vice-president and editor. Herbert E. Fleischner, secretary and treasurer, A. Leonard O’Leary: members of the executive committee. Chester (). Fleischner and Frank Currier.

After having cnioved the bountiful repast which was spread before them, they went next to the library, and there, by the tire in the grate, watched the old century out and the new one in. It was in the wee small hours when the party broke up. and the young men were unanimous in voicing their sentiments that they had spent a most delightful evening, and were very grateful to the young ladies.

The Quindonian Club desires to meet other clubs in the schools in basket ball, hockey, chess, o: checker tournaments, indoor athletics, or a series ot water events at the Brookline Xatatorium. The club wishes further that any and every organization in the High Schools would regard this as a formal challenge.

So sav the class oracles and critics, when speaking of the reception and dance given by the classes of 1901 and 1902 on the evening of January 15 in An- thonie's academy. The hall was artistically deco- rated. thanks to the efforts of the committees of the two classes. After the reception, at which the pat- rons were Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb and Mr. and Mrs. Averv, about 100 couples gathered on the tlooi and enjoyed dancing until after the chimes of the Unitarian church had tolled the hour of midnight. Towne's orchestra was in attendance and furnished excellent music, as usual. The floor was in charge of Samuel L. Ware, who had as aids Misses Grace V. Frazer. Ruby G White. Giace M. Wing, and Frederic.E. Moore, G. Willard Patch, and Everett G. Stone. This is the first time that the Senior and Junior classes have ever united in a social affair, and we hope it is a precedent which will be followed, bind- ing together, as it will, those two organizations which bear the dignified title of Upper Glasses.” In a financial way the dance proved a very good investment, for it is reported that the receipts far exceed the expenses, and leave a very acceptable sum to the classes. Captain Graham. At a meeting of the football players shortly after the close of the football season. Alexander Graham was unanimously elected captain of the football team for 1901. Graham made his first appearance in interscholastic football in the Dorchester High, game of '99 With more than half the league sc- ries completed, he had been but a week before pre- vailed upon to don the moleskins. His natural fitness for the game was soon recognized by Coach Grav. to the end that Whitaker, who plavcd left tackle in the prior English High and first Boston Latin games, and who sub- sequently has developed into one of the best tackles of the league, was forced to give way to his stocky rival. By his work in that contest Graham's posi- tion on the team was secured. The grace and com- posure with which he shouldered the elongated Brayton out of the play for ten to twenty yards is CARTAIN GRAHAM. still a tender memory with the spectators. Despite his compact build. “Bailie, as he is best known, was the fastest man in the line last fall, and fre- quently outstripped the ends in getting down under kicks. 1 lis tackles were of the hurricane order, and were as reliable as they were hard. As a line- plunger he was the mainstay of the team, and in his position easily led the league. He is but eighteen vears old. and is the first captain from the Latin School since ’9ti. when Eddie D Almeida held the honor. In costume Graham weighs in the vicinity of ItiS pounds. Aside from his athletic ability, lie has many other qualifications essential to a success- ful leader. 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. AN INCIDENT. He had met her on the way home from basket ball the afternoon before, and asked her to go to the Thanksgiving day game. She had accepted, they had gone, her side had won in an exciting game of 11-0, and now they were on the way home. He had suggested that they should walk, and she. being so happy over the game, would have done anything.— except studying her lessons for Monday. He had intended to ask her opinion on a certain subject on the way home, but her thoughts were too taken up with tlu results of the game. Wasn’t Jones simple great?” and “Graham was all right, wasn't he? she exclaimed every few minutes. He meeklv assented to all these, and patiently waited to see if she would get calmed down. People going the other way smiled, as they passed, at a happv-faced girl with a big bow of red and blue, and a rather sober looking lad carrying a brown and white flag in his hand, and guessed the result of the game. Not that he went to C. M. T. S. Oh. no! he had long since graduated from there, and had but a year more in M. I. '1'. But he went there once, and that was ground enough for him to stand on. Finally thev reached her house without speaking for nearly half the distance. I Ic asked if she were going to be in that evening. Yes, she was going to be at home, but brother had planned to have com- pany. and she had promised to make him a Welsh rarebit. Then was she to be at home Friday even- ing? Xo. she told her cousin she would go down Friday morning and spend Sunday with her. here did her cousin live, and might he see her off on the train? Oh! her cousin lived in Cambridge, and she thought seriously of walking over. So. when they parted, he was no better off than before. The next morning she got a letter. As it hap- pened. she was at home when it came, so no one saw it or knew what was in it except herself. But after she read it she went up to her room and read it again, sat down and wrote an answer, then read the letter once more, and with a long breath, yet a slight twinkle in her eye. folded it up. put it in the envelope, put the envelope in a box. and put a pile of papers on tot� of the box. Putting the letter she had just written inside her shirt-waist, she went down stairs and commenced making preparations for going over to her cousin’s. He met her on the street one day about a week- later: sbe was on her way home from a long walk to see a friend of hers who lived up his way. He asked if he might walk home with her. Yes. sin- had no objections, as it was growing dark. But we are not supposed to know the topic of conversa- tion on this walk. Only the next year, when he went to the Thanksgiving game, he carried a red and blue llag. and cheered for Somerville. EDITH G. CARLETON. S. L. S.. ’03. Castles in Spain.

The affair was largely attended. Miss Helen M. SjMxmcr. who will be pleasantly remembered as a student teacher � n the Art Depart- ment last year, is teaching in Palmer, Mass. The alumni for two years has held very success- ful reunions. It is with the greatest gratification the officers announce that this vear will transcend any previous efforts both in quality and interest. Miss Nichols will give her artistic recital. Joan d’Arc, which she presented so successfully in Steinert hall. Boston, at the alumni reunion Thurs- day evening. January 1. at 8 o’clock. An enter- tainment of unusual interest is thus assured. Darn - ing will follow. Tickets at fifty cents may be ob- tained of the committee. Choral Union. At last the choral union of the alumni has been formed, and it is evident from the enthusiasm everywhere present that a cantata is likely to be given before many months that will rival and pos- sibly outrival any previous attempt of the school. The senior class has been invited to join, not be- cause it was impossible to secure a chorus without them, for many will doubtless be turned away from the chorus, but because it will be their last oppor- tunity to participate in a musical affair while in the high school, and for the added reason that it will link the interest of 1901 more strongly with the alumni organization in the future.

Milner will give a few impersonations of famous dwarfs, including Tom Thumb and Chiquata. Bartlett will sing several solos. We are all familiar with his brilliant work in this line, as he leads the singing during the morning exercises. X. B.—Bartlett requests us to inform admirers that he is an anti-vegetarian.

On December 10 i he first basket ball game of the season was played in Bacon hall, between the English and Latin sophomores. The latter team, being much the weaker, was defeated by a score of 30 to 3. The playing of Miss Paon was especially noticeable. The linc-uo was as follows:— English. 1903. Latin, 1903.

A basket ball team representing the track team met the Nonpareil team of the Cambridgeport gymnasium iu Bacon hall Wednesday evening, January 9. The game was close and exciting throughout, the Cambridge team showing superi- ority in passing the ball and team work. The score at the end of the two twenty-minute halves was 18 to 15. in favor of the Nonpareil team. The game was the first of a scries of three to be played in Bacon hall January 10 and January 25. The members of the Somerville team were: Jones. Jennings. Graham. Eaton. Moore, Liscomb. and Story. Wellesley, 22; Somerville Latin, 5. The Somerville Latin ’Varsity Basket Ball Team played its first game at Wellesley, against the Wellesley High Team. Although handicapped in every respect, the Somerville team felt disappoint- ment in the score. The first half ended witii the score G to 3. in favor of Wellesley. Somerville came on to the field for the second half confident of vic- tore. Immcdiatelv after the start tnee made another goal, making the score G to 5 only, in favor of Welleslev. From that point Wellesley ran its score up to 22. The game ended with the score 22 to 5. in favor of Wellesley. Line-up:— Welleslev. Somerville. Train, h......................h.. Baldwin (Capt.)

Three members of last year’s relay team remain, and though the speed of “Billy” Jennings will be much missed, there is every prospect that Somerville will be represented by the fastest quartette among the Boston schools. The first race will probably be with our old rivals. C. M. T. S. The teams have 94 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. met three times. Cambridge took the first two races and Somerville the last. This will be a chance to even the score. Hockey. Captain Funckc’s candidates for the hockey team have been diligently pursuing the puck during the past few weeks of fine skating weather. The team has proved in its practice games that it will be a tough proposition for any of the members of the Interscholastic League. Manager Allen presents the following schedules:— Newton High.

All the games are on Spy pond, and it is hoped that thev will be well attended. Early in January the team met the strong New- townc Club on Spy pond, and after a close contest, the score stood: Newtowne, 8; Somerville, 5.

If you haven’t decided to go to the baseball benefit yet. vou would better do so at once, for it isn’t pleasant to be the only one to stay away; that is one reason for going. Another is that you do not want to miss so excellent an entertainment. As vou know, it is to be a vaudeville in ten num- bers. Combined with several stars of stage fame arc many of local talent and High School fame. It is one of the events of the year, and if you miss it, you will long regret it as an unimproved pleasure. Robert Bennett, of the Latin School, has charge of the general management, while Dr. Clock, who needs no introduction, is coach and stage manager. He is also to appear in one of the sketches; this alone should cause you to wish to be present to sec. hear, and be merry. THE STERLING SHOE, $2.50 FOR MEN AND HOYS. ALL THE LATEST STYLES.

Uf E present the Radiator to our readers this month as an Editors’ number,” or, perhaps it should be more properly called Staff number,” the stories and sketches being written by the several members of the staff. I bis custom of making one number an Editors’ number, which is followed largely in colleges, is. we think, a irood one to establish among the high schools. It brings the staff in closer touch and sympathy with the reader, and demonstrates the capability or incapability of the members to fill their individual positions. It is the aim of every staff to take up the paper where their predecessors left it, and carry it to a higher point of success and literary excellence; this is only made possible by a larger increase on the income side of the ledger, which, we arc pleased to say, steadily advances year by year, as the pupils come to realize the importance of the paper as a factor in the daily enjoyment of school life. 102 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. One of the prominent features of the Radiator, both in the past and present, is the illustrations and half-tone cuts, including, each month, a large full- page frontispiece. Many of these illustrations are from drawings by members of the schools, and thus the Radiator may be said to not only develop the literary talent of the pupils, but also opens a field for those who have a taste for drawing and illustrating. The management have seen fit to enlarge the paper this year, thereby giving more to the reader each month, more to the contributor and advertiser, in this way making it of increased capacity as a school organ and advancing it in a marked degree in a financial way. r r r E wish, through our columns, to thank the Photo Era Publishing Company for the choice cuts loaned us this month. To those interested in amateur photography we will say that they will find a valuable instructor and helper in the magazine published by the above com- pany. a� K K piK Radiator offers its good wishes to Miss YVitham. of the English department in the Latin School, for her prospective foreign tour. Her kindly interest in our fortunes will be greatly missed, unless, indeed, as would greatly delight us and all our readers, she should still remember us and send a contribution to our columns from o’er the seas. at at at at 'J'HE Senior classes of the two schools have twice united in a social evening at Guild hall. Each time has proved a success, and we see no reason why the meetings should not be continued in the future. It furnishes an opportunity for the two Senior classes to meet and become better ac- quainted. And the rollicking good times enjoyed by all is another argument for their continuance. at at at at QON.SIDERA15LE enthusiasm is being exhibited among the members of the English High School over the school debating society, which is rapidly assuming shape and dignity. Debates arc to be held on the evenings of the first and third Frida' s of each month, and it is expected that, be- fore the winter winds have vanished, many a ques- tion of weighty importance will have been decided many of the young men will have blossomed out into Sumners or Webstcrs, and the young ladies will have developed into Livcrmores and Willards. But, soberly speaking, if the plans discussed at a recent meeting are carried out successfully, they will not only furnish a pleasant entertainment, but will be of lasting influence and value to every mem- ber of the club. At first it will be necessary to con- fine our debates among members of the club, but as we get more experience, we hope to be able to meet other schools and show them that we have in our school those who can match them with coolness in debate, as well as coolness on the football field. Every one interested in debating should join the club and help make it a permanent school organi- zation. a r a� r, a frontispiece this month we republish the cut of the Chariot Race,” from Ben Hur.” We do this at the special request of some of our readers, and also because it is very appropriate at this time, when so many people are reading the story and at- tending the presentation of it at the theatre. The cut does not give the race scene as it is in the play, but is a reproduction of the picture made to illus- trate General Wallace’s book. a? at at at 'I' H E athletic meet which is to be held on the even- ing of March T promises to be an event worth going far to see. It is to be an indoor close meet, and is to be held in Union hall. This is something new in the athletic line in the Somerville High Schools, and. to insure its success and also to give the participants in the events the needed support, every one should attend and help the enterprise along. . at at 'pi lE addition of two periods each week to the pro- gramme of the English High School is very satisfactory to all. Many pupils who before had consecutive recitation work throughout the week arc thus relieved to some extent, and the personal attention given by instructors during the periods in question to pupils who for any reason are behind in their work is much appreciated, and must prove of great advantage. a? a� a� a� 'J' 11E month of February marks an epoch in our school year, bringing, as it docs, the mid-year examinations and the announcement marks, which, whether welcome or unwelcome, show us what we have accomplished thus far. K a� , a� a� 'j' 1 IE occurrence of the anniversaries of two presi- dential birthdays gives the month a special patriotic distinction, and the ever welcome vacation week at its close is perhaps not the least of its at- tractions. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. ,03 By Carlton R. Foster. ()h the vcars we waste and the tears we waste. And the work of our head and hand Belong to the woman who did not know ( And now we know that she never did know). And did not understand. —Kipling. HE roar and rush of the falls, the clatter and crash of the approaching storm, like the thundering climax of a sym- phony. echoed and re-echoed on the early evening air. Frequently a holt of lightning Hashed forth through the gloom, answered by the thunder, long, low, rum- bling, and muttering, or sharp, quick, ending in a tremendous crash that shook the earth. A short distance above these (Oswego) falls, this broad, sweeping, plunging cataract, made famous by the pen of Cooper, and on the very promontory where Pathfinder landed the sergeant’s daughter before taking Cap over the falls in a light Indian canoe, guided bv the steady, skillful hand of strains of a violin played by a master hand. We listened. Louder and louder grew the tones as they seemed to reel and tumble from the strings; they floated out into the dark night, vibrating through the air. and at last slowly dying to a soft, melancholy murmur, like that of the wind soughing through the tall pines of a forest. We stood for some time listening, entranced by the clear, rich, liquid tones of the old violin ; even the wind seemed to pause and listen. Again came that low, mourn- ful wail of the strings, as if they were playing the funeral dirge to some departing soul; as if breath- ing their insane song to the ebony black storm ris- ing in the west. At length the sound ceased and all was still. Not a leaf stirred, and the storm was stilled as if charmed to rest by the unseen hand. The storm broke again in ail its fury, and a Hash of lightning revealed the dim outline of an old man sitting on a rock which overhung the river. That brief Hash was enough to show us that the old man •OSWEGO FALLS. Fau-doucc: here, in a grove of chestnut trees, we had made our camp. The storm gathered, pushed on, passing far to the south. Familiar as we were with the storms of this region, we well knew another shower, forming at the north, would follow down the lake and river, drenching the narrow valley. So it was that we were making the camp ready to withstand the fury of the storm, when, through the darkness, borne to our ears by the light wind, came the soft, sweet •The above picture of Oawejfo Kalin «van taken several yearn apo and at low water, and fails to (five oue a true idea of the niairnitndc of the fall . sitting alone in the darkness was Dick Powell,” the wandering violinist, who tramped from town to town playing his beloved instrument for a night’s lodging, and living the life of a vagrant musician. This poor, penniless, homeless wanderer was not. however, without friends, and was always welcome wherever he stopped: for his years of constant practice on the violin made him much sought after by lovers of music. However, lie cared not, yes. even dreaded, to meet people he did not know, and would often refuse to play if strangers were pres- ent : for he thought that they could not sympathize 104 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. with him in his sadness, nor feel the depth of ex- pression in his music. When a mere child he evinced a fondness for music, and especially for the violin, which, as he became older, grew into a passion; and his entire time was spent with his favorite instrument. While a boy on the farm he spent hours sitting be- neath some leafy canopy in the woods, or by the bank of some shallow brook, listening to the birds, and answering them with music equally natural and beautiful. When he grew to manhood, wishing to enter a broader and richer field, he journeyed to the great metropolis, where, his talent being recog- nized, he secured a position in a well-known or- chestra. With his entrance into this new field is closed the first and happier epoch of his life. He was foolish enough to fall into the web of a woman's charms. It is the opinion of some that she did not think of his taking their friendship seriously. It is more- probable that she did not care. She enjoyed his society, and. womanlike, thought not of the pain she must sometime cause him by her failure to be true. When at length he learned the truth, lie became morbid and despondent. The plans he had drawn for the future, when he should be master of a cheer- ful home, with wife, friends, music, everything to make life happy, how soon they were shattered! Had she told him in their earlier acquaintance that they could be only friends, all would have been dif- ferent. With this thought and a thousand others crowding in upon him, and those tender, soothing words ringing still in his ears, Don't be a goose, try to forget. small wonder he was unfit to retain his position. He left the orchestra; left the crowded citv: swore ever to shun the charms of the fair spiders, and wandered out into the world. Left with nothing to do but brood over his disap- pointment. his mind gradually decayed, until we now find him a fit companion to the leaping, swirl- ing river and the wild, stormy night. All this filled my mind that night as I saw that solitary figure seated by the side of that roaring, rushing river, his long, white beard and hair stream- ing before the wind, his head and shoulders bent slightly forward, and his whole body swaying gently to and fro in rhythmic swing as the bow crossed and re-crossed the strings. The lightning flashed continually now, and the deep, hoarse rumble of the thunder as it swept nearer and nearer kept the earth in a continuous tremble. Loud and sharp rang out the tones, whistling and screaming bold defiance at the oncoming storm. The selec- tion was at first full of life and strength, full of happy vivacity and hopeful youth, for the tones seemed to take delight in battling with the wind; the strain changed to a beautiful march, which swelled forth upon the summer air to comfort and still the storm ; there was a lull, such as often comes before a storm, and low, melodious, and full of deep, soul-stirring richness came the notes, trem- bling up the hill, accompanied by the sweet, clear tenor voice of the player:— Though like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. The last note ceased to tremble on the air; the player's arm sank to his side, and his body bent lower. A heavy crash of thunder aroused him; rising slowly, he placed his treasure in its case and pre- pared to seek shelter. A blinding flash, followed instantly by a quick, deafening report, caused him to step back involuntarily, and the jar loosened the stone from its moorings, and we saw to our horror the old. half-insane musician, with one hand grip- ping the handle of his violin case, and the other grasping wildly at the air, plunged headlong into the foaming, dashing rapids. Yc shut our eyes from the terrible sight, as quickly opened them, and, as if by common impulse, rushed forward. We heeded not the storm which had now broken. We heeded not the crack and crash of the thunder, nor the continuous flash of lightning, which blazed our path as if to help undo the awful deed just done. We were powerless to help, and could only stand on the bank and wait. We saw the body rise, we saw it seized by a counter current and shot out to the centre of the stream. There it was borne on the bosom of the waters and hurried towards tlic falls. It was caught by another cr ss current, and tor a moment hung in the water above the falls, for a moment only, when it was snatched again by the hungry stream and rushed onward toward that awful cataract below. Swifter! swifter! swifter! it went, while the storm raged and rumbled. Oh for the power to check that ceaseless rush of water! On ! on! on! with thoughtlike rapidity sped that poor, helpless form; caught by a swifter current, it tossed about like a feather, and then— Oh Heaven! it is shot over the falls and plunged into the foam-capped whirlpool below. I need not dwell upon the impression that scene left with me. nor of my feelings in the weeks that followed. In the morning the body was found by the searching party which had been out all night. It was found lodged among the branches of a tree broken over bv the storm, near the water’s edge, on Pathfinder's Island. Ye laid him to rest in the little cemetery on the hill, his life coni pan ion and comfort, the old violin, by his side. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 105 “CAUGHT!” By G. F. V HAD been at the seminary only a few weeks, when 1 was told that I must get on the good side of Nix” Dal- ton. for she liad such lovely surprises in her room, and was such a jolly girl.’’ To tell the truth. I did not think her a bit jolly, for she passed me in the corridors and never even gave me a chance to smile at her, or try to become her friend. ( me day we were having a geometry lesson. She stood beside me at the blackboard, and for the first time spoke to me, asking me the answer to a certain question she was to write. After that she used to smile at me. and occasionally stop and have a little chat. I was walking hurriedly along the corridor one morning between bells, when I heard a whisper behind me. and. turning around. I saw Nix” her- self. She gave me a cordial invitation to come to her room that evening with some other girls. Not before eleven, and don't say a word,” she added. I had never attended one of these late parties, having been at the seminary only a short time, and ! was more than eager to accept the in- vitation. One can imagine how my recitations fared for the rest of the day. 1 could not repeat a word of my German poem, nor answer many ques- tions in I -at in: all I could think of was “eleven o'clock ' At last the great gong in the corridor announced the end of work for the day: books were tossed in all directions, the doors opened wide, and general confusion reigned. I immediately set out to find my new friend. She was in the upper corridor with some other girls, who were dancing and talk- ing together. I was greeted and pulled into the circle. Then Nixie began her lecture. as she called it. Now, girls.” she said. ‘Dame’ is on watch to- night. and you want to do all sorts of peeking be- fore vou venture out. Don't, for heaven's sake, step on the board in front of No. 35, for it will surely raise her: it’s got a terrific squeak: and be careful when you open vour doors. I have been doing a little settling with her to-day. and I think she knows I’m up to something. Now. ‘Tip.’ you be more than careful, for you know you arc always caught.” T had no idea that “Nixie was so jolly until 1 saw her in that group of girls, making all sorts of 5. L. S., '01. funny gestures, and measuring her talk by the yard. She did not seem like the quiet girl I had always seen in recitation rooms. Our happy group was soon broken up, for the gong warned us that it was ten. the time to be in our rooms: and in half an hour we were all sup- ;h� sc 1 to be in bed. with lights out. Half past ten found me sitting at my window, watching and wait- ing for the town clock to strike eleven. I was only wondering if I could get to Nixie's” room without stepping on a squeaky board. How the moments seemed t- drag! I opened my door several times to see if it squeaked or if any one were in the hall, and each time returned to my seat to wait a few minutes longer. At last the old clock sounded, and I immediately proceeded to open my door for certainly the fourth time and peer into the dimlv- lighted corridor. At the same time several other doors were opened, and we all ventured with cau- tious steps to scale the (light of stairs that led to the second floor: at the top we were joined by three others, and we all proceeded stealthily down the corridor. We had arrived safely at Nixie’s” door without the least noise, and were about to give our signal, when there was a crash in the lower hall. Yes. Tip” was alwavs caught: she had forgotten, in her eagerness, to close her room door, and the wind had shut it for her. Seven ghostly pale girls hud- dled together at Nixie’s” door: she bravely tried to let us in. but Dame was too quick for her : wc were caught in the act. She stepped up to us and asked in a harsh voice the reason of our nocturnal visit: then, not giving 11s time to answer, sent us to our rooms without in- quiring the cause of the noise. Each girl found herself in bed at half past eleven, instead of drinking the delicious cup of chocolate and eating sardines and crackers in Nixie’s room. Tip. knowing that she was the cause of all this disgrace, was verv sad. and thought she would never be able to face the girls. She was soon asleep and dreaming the episode over and over again. In her dreams she saw seven doors, with a placard printed in huge black letters. No admit- tance.” And she heard “Dame” say: I do not wish to see these voting ladies out of their rooms again for two weeks. They may lose lessons and pleasure for this conduct. Their food will be car- ried to their rooms, and no one will be allowed to see them.” NAHANT. Nahant! thou beautiful strip of land!

THE LITTLE RED MARK. ByH. T . L., E., '02. OMEBODY asked Misty” Selkirk if he believed in hypnotism. He re- plied that he had read considerable about it, but did not believe that any- one could hypnotize him. Then a fellow told a story about his experi- ence at a public exhibition, and some one else men- tioned that his cousin knew a man who could put vou in a trance and make you believe pickles were sugar.” One or two other good stories were told at length, to all of which Misty expressed dis- belief. Then he left the company to catch the last car. For the first ten minutes Selkirk was the only occupant of the long, dreary car. At the end of that time the car stopped, then started again, and the rear door creaked itself open to admit a woman and a basket. The woman placed the basket on the scat, settled herself opposite Misty, and began moving her lips inaudibly. In order to occupy his mind, which, to tell the truth, was becoming disagreeably crowded with thoughts suggested by his recent conversation with his friends, the young man began to scrutinize his fellow-passenger. She was clad in cheap black clothing, and wore a number of cast-by gewgaws. Her hair, he noticed, was black and disagreeably glossy. The left eye was almost closed, but the right one held Selkirk's attention from the moment his gaze rested on it. It was large and brilliant, of a dark brown color, one of those eyes in which the iris is scarcely distinguishable from the pupil. Certainly a beautiful eye, were it not for a little red mark, shaped like a figure six. that marred one cor- ner of the white. Another curious thing that he noticed was that the eye stared at him,—yes, it certainly returned his gaze,—without once blink- ing. The upper lid was as immovable as the frame of any picture. While Misty noticed all this, lie felt a strange feeling passing over him, which somehow brought to his mind one of the stories he had heard at the meeting that he had so lately left. At first it seemed that the eye was a living, thinking being staring at him from across the narrow aisle. It twinkled knowingly, and he thought it was about to open its lips and speak. Then he tried to turn his own eves from the orb. but. to his surprise, he was powerless to do so. Finally a slight tremor passed through his body, and a feeling of blankness came over him. The car jolted on a few minutes, with the mo- notony broken only by the conductor’s opening the door to call the name of some street. At the draught occasioned by one of these interruptions the woman shivered slightly. As though in an- swer to some request, Selkirk removed his coat and placed it beside her. The woman looked puzzled, crossed herself, and handed it back. The young man put it on cheerfully and entirely unmoved. Then he put up his right hand perpendicular to his l)odv and held it so for one, two, five minutes, without moving a muscle. At the end of that time it dropped lifelessly to his side. A moment later Misty Selkirk was kneeling in an attitude of adoration before his unknown vis-a-vis. He made a faint effort to rise, but in vain. The conductor, who was a profoundly interested spectator of these proceedings, afterwards declared that the woman seemed no less surprised than he himself. Certainly, she appeared greatly excited. She crossed herself rapidly three or four times, seized her basket, dropped it. stooped to pick it up, and— Selkirk straightened up quickly, tried to think where he was. and finally recalled the eye. and more vaguely the foolish part he had been playing. Meanwhile his traveling companion was fumb- ling over the floor as though looking for some- thing. Mechanically Selkirk looked down. too. lie saw something glitter, and stooped to pick it up. Examining it. he uttered a low sibilation. Mv eye!” he said simply. I lis find was a hollow globe, a trifle less than an inch in diameter, and skillfully fashioned to represent a human eye. The woman must have noticed his discovery, for she set up a howl, and in broken English demanded her eye. her precious eve. that she had saved for through years of work. And she looked at Selkirk with her left eve wide open, and a sunken hollow where the right one should have been. He gave her her property quickly enough, signaled the conductor to stop the car, and left her gloating over her prize. Selkirk told me this story in the privacy of his den one night. As he finished. 1 asked him if he could explain it. Well. he answered. I have been reading up auto-hypnotism and self-suggestion. That may explain part of it. And then again--------” But.” I interrupted, the little red mark? What was that? The price mark. he replied. Six dollars. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 107 STORIETTE. By cA. B. E, L, '01. S was his custom, llaughton sauntered down to the cool shade of the willows which overhung the boathouse. It was a warm afternoon in August, and at alxmt six o’clock. The sky was bright, and a refreshing breeze was stirring. As usual, his canoe was gently rubbing the float, but a very unusual thing was that llaughton was alone. Elizabeth had told him that she could not go out with him that after- noon. as she had a previous engagement with a friend of hers. It was very queer that there should be an engagement previous to his. and so 1 laughton was wondering who it could be with. To find this out he had not long to wait, for cerncd. that I’ve seen him do, but then I wish he knew enough to keep away when he isn’t wanted,” continued llaughton. and, for want of something better to do. he slowly paddled toward the place where the other canoe had disappeared. It was alrcadv late, and the sun, resting on the summit of the Belknap hills, looked a ball of burn- ing red. seemingly stopping to take breath before his long flight to the distant Land of Boxers. The dark clouds, fringed with a brilliant border of red, and flecked here and there with gold, increased the solitude of the peaceful calm that prevailed. When 1 Laughton's canoe glided out from beneath the trees upon the open lake, he rested, scanning the surface, quiet as a mill-pond, for the other canoe. Far out DARK CLOUDS . . . INCREASED' THE SOLITUDE. Courtesy of IMlotO Era. as he stood on the float surveying his canoe, he heard a well-known laugh. Out on the quiet sur- face of the basin glided a canoe, and reclining on a heap of cushions was Elizabeth Townc. What! Could it be possible that Elizabeth had gone out with Gordon, whom she said she disliked, in preference to himself? And his first thought was that Elizabeth had feigned this dislike. Ho! I suppose that was intended for my particular bene- fit.” said he. as an almost derisive peal was wafted across the water to him. and they disappeared be- neath the shade of the channel out to the lake. “Of course I can't paddle well enough, so she must nccessarilv have him take her out. It's the most sensible thing, as far as he himself is con- across the bav he saw the Ml. Washington, trailing a long line of smoke behind her. but of the canoe lie saw nothing. Gordon, seeing llaughton on the float, had evi- dent Iv thought he would follow them, and so had gone beneath an overhanging willow to let him pass. llaughton paddled slowly toward Rattle- snake Island, which lay like a huge whale basking in the last ravs of the sun. He had almost reached the island, when he saw Gordon making a wide de- tour toward the north, and also crossing the lake. He seemed to beheading for one of the smaller islands a little north of Rattlesnake, which he had dubbed “Gordon’s Isle,” after himself, but which was generally known as Diamond Isle. The wind ioS SOM ICR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. had freshened from a light breeze to a brisk one, and the clouds were being reinforced by recruits from behind the mountains. Gordon is a bigger fool than I thought he was. He hasn’t even the common sense of a mule. I can’t quite sec why Elizabeth should agree to make such a hare-brained trip, when she can plainly sec a storm coming, but then, it’s her own lookout. Hello. Jim! You fellows had better get out. it’s going to rain soon.” We don’t care; we’re going to put our clothes creased, and canoeing was already losing its charm. In the course of a few minutes he found Clara perched on a bowlder gazing so intently out over the lake that she did not notice him until he was quite near. Good afternoon. Miss Robbins. Arc you not afraid you will get wet?” «)b. no. the summer house in the grove is a good shelter from the rain. I had entirely forgotten that.

Say, Charlie, I can dive the way you showed me now,” and with that, in he plunged. I should say you could,” replied Ilaughton when Jim came up. “You’re getting to be a regu- lar water rat.” “Ilcy!” yelled Jim after him, I forgot to tell you Clara ain’t at home.” She isn’t?” Nope: she went up to the pine grove at the end of the island.” So much the better,” thought Haughton to himself, as he turned his canoe thither. As he pad- died around the island, the wind continually in- Yes. but then there’s somebody over by Dia- mond Isle who is going to get wet, and not by rain either. I fear. They appear to be making for this island, but I fear they cannot make it before the squall sets in. and it looks as though it were going to be an uelv one.” “By Jove! I had almost forgotten Elizabeth.” “’Liza!” cried Clara, astonished. “‘Liza out there—with some one else—and you here? “Yes. confound it,” he retorted almost fiercely. “That’s the way with you girls, always doing some foolish thing or other.” Mr. Haughton!” “I beg your pardon, Miss Robbins. But don’t SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 109 let us stand here; can't we get out the yacht and try to save them a ducking? “A ducking? You mean their lives? He can't swim a stroke.” My God,” he muttered, turning on his heel and racing down to the canoe, followed by Clara. They both tumbled into it. and in short order were glid- ing along as fast as Charlie could force them. When they reached the yacht, the boys, having lost their courage, were just leaving for shore. Come, Jim, and help me get this sail up, and you, Harry, tow my canoe to shore,” shouted Haughton. Gee whiz, Charlie, you ain’t going out, arc you? piped up the boys in eager chorus. Yes, and right away. Hadn't you better go ashore. Miss Robbins? asked he, suddenly re- membering her. It will be a rough sail. “Nevertheless, 1 prefer to go. You will not in- sist on my going ashore, will you?” she asked pleadingly. No, certainly not. but it would be better. Will you please hold the tiller? Up with the sail, Jim ! I'.ring her up to the wind slowly, Clara, don't let her fill too quickly,” and soon they were madly racing to the rescue. It was plain now that they could not possibly make the canoe before the sheet of hail and rain overtook them. The clouds had spread a gloomy pall over the lake, which changed the summer night into pitehv darkness. The wind was moaning plaintively through the pines, and blowing a hurri- cane on the lake. The mast creaked and the sail thundered before its fury. Not a word was spoken aboard the vacht. Clara stood resolutely beside the wheel, ready to grasp it should it be necessary. Haughton had stationed Jim in the bow. rope in hand, to keep a lookout for the canoe. A loon, de- lighting in the storm, lent his weird laughter to the uproar. The lightning flashed vividly, but vet no canoe could be seen. Could they have missed them in the impenetrable gloom? The deafening roar of the thunder as it sharply crashed over them almost stunned them. There thev are. over to the larboard.” yelled Jim above the storm. Port your helm hard!” Dodge, Clara, the boom, the boom!” cried Haughton. as he himself narrowly escaped it. As the yacht again righted herself, he heard a faint crv. and in an instant he was over the side. A lurid flash showed him Gordon clinging to the up- set canoe and Elizabeth just sinking—with that dreaded gurgle. A few powerful strokes and the watchers on board the yacht saw him disappear. Down he went, groping frantically, vet with a cer- tain coolness about him. The water was inky black. lie could not see a thing. Yet the water was occasionally lighted by a flash. There, below him. so far below him. he saw a form. The water seemed to push him back, to refuse him passage. He suddenly became aware that lie was rising. Should lie fail? With redoubled energy he forced himself downward. He saw something blurred. He clutched at it. Yes! it was her hair. Then he threw his head sharply back and rose slowly. It seemed to takes ages with the dull, swirling water in his ears. He passed above the level of the icy waters, to whose depths even August’s sultry sun could not penetrate. At last, half choked, he reached the surface. Attracted by the flapping canvas, he caught sight of the yacht, and immediately struck out for it as fast as his precious burden would allow. Clara had held the yacht as near as she could, awaiting the reappearance of Haughton. whose in- domitable will she knew would not allow him to come up until he had found Elizabeth. So, when she saw the two heads rise above the water, a hysterical sigh of relief escaped her. Haughton was soon aboard, with the assistance of Jim, who had also brought out the medicine chest and pre- pared blankets. They were soon engaged in re- viving Elizabeth, hindered greatly by the pitching of the yacht. Suddenly, without a word, Jim plunged over the side. Clara and Haughton both stood aghast at this unexpected action, but soon saw the cause of it. Still clinging to the canoe for which Jim was making, they saw Gordon. Jim ap- proached him. but as Gordon turned to clutch him. he dived to escape his deadly embrace. With much difficulty Gordon regained his hold on the canoe, which Jim then towed to the yacht. Once beneath the bowsprit, Gordon, mustering all his strength, clambered aboard and dropped beside the mast, ex- hausted. The squalls rushing across the lake, and often attaining the fury of storms, are wont to go as quickly as they spring up. So the clouds had fled and the stars were twinkling brightly. The moon, heralded bv a whip-poor-will, was just rising over the sleeping woods on the eastern shore. All was again calm, even the angry waves were abating in their fury when Elizabeth opened her eyes. Charlie.” she murmured, as she sank back into his arms with a contented sigh. And lie forgot his wet condition as he drew her closer to him. 1 IO SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. President Lincoln’s Favorite Poem. () why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

The one who gesticulated often,—he was a French- man, finely built, with great dark eyes and an odd fashion of jerking quickly from side to side when the conversation was exciting. The other was English, and was leaning his slim body forward to peer at the man before him with his little greenish eyes, and now and then passing his thin fingers through his stringy, yellow, gray hair when he was puzzled or angry. Suddenly he raised his voice sharply:— Vhat‘s vour decision? Is it Australia or France? Come. Gaspard, toss up and end it. 1 hardlv know what to do. but I guess ’twill be Australia.

Oh! Look here. Lancelcnte. you’d better come with me. What if the game won’t be just ‘square’? You’ve done worse things!” Your infernal nagging’s enough to make an angel commit murder.” Then vou’ll do it?

And the little children, when they were bidden be quiet, spoke wonderingly of the Great Lady of the Chateau, and. looking up to the silent facades and terraces, breathed, with their mothers, a prayer for the child who would so soon have no mother. As the peasants circled down the slope, their toil over, and entered the village street, a horseman rode in from the Havre road, and they watched him curiously as he galloped up the avenue and disap- peared in the forest de Lancelcnte. A letter? It may be something of importance to mv child! Give it me!” “Madame. I shall forbid you-----” Who is the Comtesse here?” she interrupted, laughing, though haughty. And she raised herself slowly, and. drawing aside the heavy bed curtains, read the message which the stranger had brought. She sank back upon the pillow with a cry that brought the household to her side, but she waved them awav. with a smile in thanks for their interest, and cried passionately to her physician :— ‘Tt is Gaspard; Gaspard the mocker.—Gaspard the forger.—Gaspard-----” “The son of your husband,” said Monsieur le Doctcur. in a low voice. You arc right! You are my physician for soul and body. Monseigneur. I find it hard to forget him: still harder to forgive him. You see. it is either mv stepson or my son. Do you realize that he will be here within an hour, or perhaps less? That he will find me dying, and will not go to Aus- 112 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. tralia? That Lancclente will be his, and not my son’s? I must not—I will not die! But again she fell back, weakened by the violence of her pas- sion. M. Tourage laid a quieting hand on hers, but when she could speak again, she said in a low, determined voice: 1 will see him myself, that he may not suspect the truth. After he has left the chateau—why—then 1 may die at leisure.” But. Madame——” Say nothing! Give me something to strengthen me; vou will know what is best. I think lean stand the pain if you will have them bring my Ar- mand down to the salon. Above all, let the ser- vants keep silence. Go!—forget nothing! Madame, I have always thought it my duty to obey you; now 1 feel it my duty to do otherwise.” You forget who I am. You forget yourself,” cried Helene 1 say—go!” M. Tourage knelt beside her bed. 1 will do as you wish. Madame. But it kills me to think of the martyrdom you take upon yourself.” And she put her hand upon his white head. It is for me,—for iittle Armand. for Lancclente.” An hour later the Comtcssc Helene, in evening gown, entered the salon. The rose-colored hang- ings seemed rosier in the light of the setting sun. For a moment she bent over the cradle where hci child lay, and M. Tourage, watching from the stairs, saw something fall from the fever-flushed cheek upon the baby hand, which she bent to kiss. And he heard her say. in a pitiful, breaking voice: T am doing it all for you, Armand, all for you. You can't understand now, little one, but the good doctor will tell vou some day, when you arc the Comte dc Lancclente. As she said that name, it was echoed bv the butler. She rose, and, turning, held out her hand in gracious welcome. Gaspard had come. ‘Tn gala attire, fair one?” lie said (and he thought. She is radiant! all too much alive! ). Yes! A little dinner at the Champrcys’ in the Rue D’Archant.” You go out a great deal?” Parbleau! What do you expect? I am French, and a comtcssc. That’s quite enough,” she laughed back. (But she turned away from him as she laughed, and the doctor, from his conceal- ment. winced as he saw her face.) Of course.” added she, I am much with Armand : he is all 1 have now.” You forget me.” said Gaspard sardonically. Yes. I do forget you, don’t I?” and she laughed in a wild kind of merriment. But I wonder if you forgot me in America? What did you do? Were vou successful?” Very!” and the ring of irony in his voice de- lighted the Comtcssc. I have remembered little of France, but I still sing the old French ballads. Shall we trv one?” “I shall l c charmed. But make it short, for 1 shall have to leave soon----” For the Rue D’Archant?” Without answering, she broke into a dirge-like Lamentation pour Un Heros Mort.” As she sang, Gaspard stood motionless, listening with wonder to the passionate anguish of her voice. As the last chord rang through the salon, a childish wail pierced the air. Gaspard strode so quickly to the cradle that she cried out—but he merely stood looking down upon the child, while she watched him cautiously. He was thinking how easy it would be to reach down and strangle that other Lancclente. Why! he could do it with one hand! Jf he did, the money, the chateau, the—but lie turned his face away when the fearless blue eyes met his own. lie went to where Madame the Comtcssc stood at the window, in the radiancy of the sunset, and as he found himself again beset by temptation, turned away, with a Well, I shall not be at Havre in time if 1 don't start now. Then slyly, with a cruel gleam in his eyes, So here's a long life to vou.” and he kissed her hand. “Bon voyage to you, she answered. She .valched him as he drew on his gloves, and waved triumphantlv to him as he mounted his horse in the courtyard and rode down the avenue. When she stepped back from the window, the old doctor was at her side. It is over, brave woman! Your end is gained! As lie spoke, she heard a sound ot babyish joy. She knelt by the cradle to see what pleased the child. The next moment a cry of de- spair broke from her lips. Mon I)icu! Mon Dieu! It was in vain! It is Gaspard's signet ring; it must have fallen. lie will return. I shall die before him. In vain! In vain! and in torture of body and soul she caught her child in her arms and held it high before her. Mon Dieu! You gave me strength for the past; give me life for the present. If I have ever been a true mother, help me, for the sake of my child!” What is it. Helene? a voice cried behind her. Gaspard had returned. What troubles you?” She rises to her feet, her child pressed to her heart. Nothing troubles me now,” she cries. I stand before you who have all my life schemed against me, with the death-power of forgiveness in my heart—happy and ttiumphant in the knowledge that I have been all I could be as wife and as mother: that I have at last, through His grace, for- gotten all the wrongs that have been done me; that my reward is not for me, but for my child, and that it shall come through you—even you. from He who gives me the power thus to prophesy. Something tells me that you repent. Ah! Gaspard, promise me. in the name of Heaven, that you will give Armand dc Lancclente his heritage!” He fell on his knees, his eyes upon the face ol the dvimr woman in a fascination of horror. All shall be his!” he cried. I swear it!” An expression of wonderful joy illumined the ashen features above him. The Comtcsse Ilelenc swayed and fell into her stepson’s arms, and as he untwined the child’s arms from its mother's neck, the vespers rang as they had twenty-seven years ago.

The purple now is changing To a hue of brightest gold : And twilight slow approaching Doth in shadow all things fold. Deeper, darker grow the shadows. Like a rainbow now the sky; Faster, fainter grow the sunbeams. As the precious moments fly. Now the western light has faded.

NE evening late in the fall 1 sat before the fire in my office grate, and puffed away at a choice Havana. Outdoors the rain was falling in torrents, and every now and then the chill Novem- ber wind would come shrieking down the chimney, only to be ousted into the blackness of the night by the cheerful blaze that danced upon the hearth. Heaven grant that nobody call me out such a fearful evening as this ’ 1 thought selfishly, as, leaning back in my chair, 1 sent the curling smoke rings floating upward toward the ceiling. I had been busy all day, and a little leisure seemed an in- valuable thing to me. Then, too, it gave me opportunity to think over the news that had suddenly come to me in the hurry and worry of the day. My old friend and classmate, the well-known New York physician, l)r. Richard Steele, had passed away on the pre- vious evening. Poor Dick! I could scarcely bring mvsclf to realize that he was dead. A thou- sand memories of our college days crowded upon me, until 1 seemed to see him—not the grave, elderly physician, but the merry young schoolboy— standing at my side as of old. I fell into a deep reverie. I was brought to a sense of my surroundings by a sudden and violent ringing of the doorbell. A moment later the maid ushered in a visitor. It was Dr. Steele’s man, Jerry! Good evenin’, doctor,” he said, drawing his dripping garments closely about him, and seating himself gingerly on the very edge of the shabbiest chair in the office—a thing 1 thought very consid- erate of him. Good evening. Jerry,” I replied, laying aside niv cigar and turning toward him. Evidently he considered this move an invitation to disclose his business, for he began to fumble in an inner coat pocket, whence he soon brought forth a letter. •Tvc a letter for you, doctor,” he said, as he handed me the missive, a letter front—from—” Here the poor fellow’s voice faltered, for he was tenderly attached to his master. I nodded to show him that I understood. Then I broke the seal and read:— Dear Henry: This will not reach you until after my death, for it contains the story of the strange legacy 1 have left to you. Do you remember reading of the Bartel! murder case, which occurred last year on the twenty-fifth day of November? The murderer, as vou will doubtless recollect, was electrocuted at Sing Sing on the thirteenth of last July. As he had no friends or relatives to desire burial for the body. I purchased the corpse from the authorities, with Works, L.t 9 01. the intention oi performing «several experiments upon it. Immediately after the murderer was pro- nounced dead, he was brought to my laboratory. ■ Now comes the strange part of my story. In the course of my experiments I applied electricity to the l ody, when suddenly, to my horror and amazement, it arose from the table upon which it lay and began to stumble about the room! In some way—I scarcely know what—I had succeeded in renewing the action of the heart and other organs! Pause here and think, Henry! The dead man was not restored to life, as I at first supposed. Mis stumbling walk, the incoherent mutterings which escaped his lips, his apparent wonder at everything about him. all showed me that—mirabile dictu—I had created of flesh and blood an artificial being! The mind, although it worked as did the other organs, worked in the present alone; it had no power to recall events which took place in the life of the one to whom it originally belonged. The body of the murderer was occupied by a life, not a soul. The latter was gone, gone with the first life to its Maker. The being 1 had so strangely brought into existence was a living, but a soulless, thing! For the last four months 1 have kept the crea- ture imprisoned in my laboratory, under my careful observation. He is now learning to talk, and has quite an extended vocabulary for an infant of his age. He speaks quite plainly, too, because his organs of articulation, having been used before, can the more readily adapt themselves to speech, I sup- pose. lie walks as well as one could desire, the precocious child ! The use of food he discovered in less than twenty-four hours after his birth. At his first meal he devoured enough to kill a thousand ordinary youngsters, and scorns the bottle. That is to say, the nursing bottle: for he drinks wine and other intoxicating liquors with a relish which. I fear, he must have inherited from the former in- habitant of his body. Sad to say, he has not gained a pound since birth, at which time lie weighed 210. His weight has remained at this same small figure ever since. Jerry will bring you the infant whenever you are prepared to be a father to it. But. in all seri- ousness. it is quite a valuable legacy, considered from a scientific standpoint, and may make you famous. I mvsclf contemplated writing a l ook on the subject, which I intended to entitle ‘The Man Without a Soul; or. The Adult Infant.' But the grippe has put an end to all my hopes. You are to arrange with Jerry about the dis- posal of your legacy. Good-bye. old chap! Good luck and long life to you and the Thing! “Yours lovingly. “Dick.” SOMKRYILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. ”7 I read and re-read this strange epistle, until I al- most knew it by heart. Slowly the thing began to dawn upon my mind. The Barteli murder case? Ah, yes, I recollected the affair. An old man had been most brutally murdered for the sake of a few dollars he had hoarded up. And 1 was to possess the body of the murderer, to observe what effect his criminal career would have upon its new inmate, to make hitherto unheard-of facts known to the scientific world; in short, was to become famous through my strange legacy. Joy and sorrow struggled within me. Joy at the thought of my pleasing prospects; sorrow aroused bv this touching testimonial of my old friend’s re- gard for me. for had he not left to me what—in his own and mv estimation, at least—was the most t be prized of all his possessions? Poor old Dick! Kven in his last moments his humor had been uppermost. I laughed and cried over his account of the child's” remarkable progress. Finally I turned again to Jerry, who. I found, was gazing at me with the tears streaming down his cheeks. Wonderful, isn’t it? he said, when he found my gaze once more upon him; I don’t be- lieve there is another man in the world so smart as the master was. Where is this creature the doctor writes about?” I asked. Jerry wij ed his eyes with the sleeve of his coat, but it is to be doubted whether he did not rather moisten than drv them by this proceeding, so wet were his garments. He came on from Xew York this morning with me. he answered, and I left him tied to a chair in mv room in the inn. Tied', man! what with? I cried eagerly. With my trunk-strap.’’ Your trunk-strap! I exclaimed, half frantic with the fear that I might lose my newly-obtained treasure. Do you mean to say that you have tied a great stout man to a chair with a trunk-strap, and expect he will stav where you left him? Why. man. you're crazv!” That’s all right. answered Jerry confidently, he hasn’t found out how to untie a knot yet. The doctor thought best not to teach him that. And lie doesn’t know enough to break the strap. Besides, he wouldn’t run away, anyway.” Of course, thought I. how simple of me! Come on. then.” I cried. “I’ll get my mackin- tosh. and we’re off to fetch the infant prodigy home!” In a moment we were out in the storm, plodding along toward the inn. Jerry,” I said, as we stumbled on through the mud and darkness, were you in the laboratory when this thing happened?” No, sir,” answered Jerry, I wasn't, but the doctor called me in right afterwards, and there was the fellow I’d helped to bring in dead as a doornail stumbling all around the room. The doctor seemed tickled to death. Jerry,’ says he. clapping me on the shoulder, ‘look at that, will you?' Then be went on to explain to me how he thought the fel- low wasn’t himself any more, but a new man alto- gether. how he was just like a child, and all that. And all the time the chap was eyeing us as if lie didn’t know what to make of us. rolling his eyes, and gaping. Finally he commenced to chuckle, ami huddled down in one corner as helpless as a babv. But the doctor and me. we’ve been training him. and it's quite surprising how much lie's picked up since then. Quite surprising, sir! Bv this time we had arrived at the inn. Follow- ing Jerry. I clambered up the stairs, and together we entered his room, in which a solitary gas jet was burning. But. horror of horrors! what a sight met our astonished eyes! From a chair in one corner dangled a strap, strewn about the floor were the contents of Jerry’s trunk, which, with broken lock, stood wide open at the foot of the bed. but nowhere was the infant prodiev” to be seen! I stared blankly at Jerry; Jerry stared blanklv back at me. lie’s gone!” I gasped at length. Gone he is.” answered Jerry sadly, ami lie’s taken all mv savings, and Heaven knows what else, with him. I don’t believe the rascal was ever anv more dead than I am. Those Sing Sing fellows didn’t finish him. that’s my opinion; they made a big bull of the business, ami the conse- quence is—hullo! what’s this? He picked up a sheet of writing paper which lay in the chair to which my legaev had been attached. Here’s a note lie left behind him! he exclaimed. Read it. sir. I took the paper, and read the following, scrib- bled in a cramped, unscholarly hand:— Deer ferric, i’ve lied a reel good time with u and ol saw bones. Thanks or fully for the cash, also the watch and chane end the frensli brier pipe. Yucrs truly, the kid.” “The watch and chain, too.” groaned Jerry; they cost me a cool $35. And the pipe! That’s what 1 call adding insult to injury! Jerry.” said I. as I slowly tore the note into a thousand fragments, it’s really surprising how much the fellow has picked up.” Resolutions.

If laughter makes people fat.” there surely must have been a plump crowd that left the hall, for from the time that the first number began until the close of the vaudeville show there was no pause in the funny sketches, and many well-appreciated hits. Space will not permit us to go into detail of the entertainment, nor to give individual mention of the actors. One or two ol the numbers were filled by outside talent, and the rest bv members of the Latin and English Schools. Dr. ( lock, who is so well known in Somerville, besides being stage manager and coach, gave sev- eral of his exceedingly funny sketches, which were enthusiastically received by the audience. The general management was in the hands of Mr. Dennett, Latin. '01. and Mr. Underhill. English. 0V. Mr. Dennett. Mr. Liscomb. and Mr. Flynn acted as ushers. After the entertainment closed, dancing was enjoyed in the lower hall. It was pro- nounced bv managers and patrons to be a brilliant success. ------------------ Alumni Reunion. The third annual reunion of the S. E. H. S. Alumni Association was held in Anthoine's hall January . 1. In spite of the threatening weather, a large number of alumni and friends were present to enjoy the entertainment and dancing. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Avery, assisted by Miss Merrill and several other members of the faculty, received. Two young ladies chosen from each class served as ushers. Following the reception. Miss Eda L.

An excellent dance order was prepared, and between several of the dances we were favored with some very choice music by Miss Mary Riper and Harry Wilkins. W e are again greatly indebted to George Norton, of the English School, for his valuable services in furnishing us with instrumental music. The gen- eral management was in the hands of Howard Allen, of the English High, who reports it to be a financial success.

With such a caste as has here been stated, we hope to make a success which would wring praise from Shakespeare himself. -------«.;� •------- How “ Ben Hur” Came to Be Written. The Lutheran Observer tells the following inter- esting story:— It is related that ‘Ben llur’ was written by Gen- eral Lew Wallace after investigating a scries of questions which were propounded to him by Colonel Ingcrsoll. General Wallace says he was going on an Eastern-bound train, and while going through a drawing-room car. he passed the open door of a compartment in which sat Colonel Robert G. Ingcrsoll. ‘Come in.’ said the latter. I’m lonely in here, and want some one to chat with.’ Wallace entered and seated himself. ‘All right, terrogatorics. He replied: 'Really, Ingcrsoll. 1 have never given much thought or study to the questions you propound. I had a Christian train- ing, and I have always tacitly accepted them.’ ‘In- deed!’ said Colonel Ingcrsoll. 'Why, man. you surprise me! They are vital issues. I have studied the subject thoroughly. Every man ought to. N’ow, take my advice and look into the matter. You’ll find you’ll agree with me.’ 'I went away from the interview both embarrassed and mortified,’ said the general, 'that I did not feel competent to discuss so important a matter with so learned a thinker. I made up mv mind that I would never place myself again in so embarrassing a situation. I took down mv books and read every authority 1 could lay mv hands on. After a year’s study, so far from agreeing with the great agnostic in his opin- ions. I wrote “Ben Hur.” That is my reply to him.’ ”—How to Write. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. I 2 I 1901.

Last year he was manager of the football team, which, by its fine record both in playing and finan- cially, showed his marked ability in that position. He had been re-elected manager for next year’s team. He was beloved by every one for his cheer- ful and jolly disposition. The funeral services were held at St. Joseph’s church on Thursday, and the majority of his class were present, in company with Mr. Baxter and sev- eral of the school committee.

It is like a web of loosely woven cloth—not good for anything. A little advice a literary friend gave me some time ago is worth repeating. Here it is: Make vour words tell. Every inch of space in a paper is valuable. Brevity rightly used means force; and. besides, there is more satisfaction in cutting down one’s own work than in having some one else do it. We must feel. too. if we would be successful writers of fiction. Some may attempt Miss Lu- dolph’s plan of imitation ( Barriers Burned Away”), but the result will be as unsatisfactory. The better we understand human nature, the truer will be the impressions of life which we give forth again in our writing. We must write, then, what we have felt, and we must write it briefly. Some one has said that there is a story in every one’s life, if it were but told.

The members of the track team ran their first races of the season at the members’ games of the Cambridgeport gymnasium. Good work was done in all the events by the representatives of Somer- ville. and is a testimony to the careful training of Mr. Samson. In the quarter mile. Keyes, Smith, and South- worth. and McLaughlin in the half, finished close to the leaders. “Joe” Story was also entered in the quarter, but, through a misunderstanding, was pre- vented from competing. Purcell ran a strong mile, and showed that he will be good for points in the intcrscholastic meet, if not for first. The twenty- yard dash was won by Eaton in two and three-fifths seconds. In the last event of the evening the relay team met a quartette, composed of the pick of the three Cambridge schools. The Somerville team. Eaton. Noble. Cummings, and Jennings, showed nothing but the backs of their jerseys to the Cambridge men, who were twentv yards in the rear at the finish, but claimed that two Somerville men failed to touch hands at the end of a relay. The dispute remained unsettled. Tickets will soon be on sale for an indoor meet, to be held in Union hall. Every one interested should attend and supj ort their class. Relay races between the classes of the two schools have been arranged. The regular team will run two races, one with our old rivals. C. M. T. S., and one with a team of graduates, composed of Frank Story, Cuddy, and Rov and Carleton Pipe. The handicap events will be as follows: Twenty-yards’ dash, Eaton, scratch; 4 10-vards’ run, Jennings, scratch; 880-yards’ run. Noble and McLaughlin, scratch; one-mile run. Purcell, scratch. Ronald McDonald, former twentv-five-milc champion, and Charles Lucas, the crack potato racer, besides many other noted athletes, will take part. Pardonable Fickleness. BY D. It. MARSHALL, S. L.

He Got the News. When I was in Chicago last summer the editor of one of those papers there told me this story, which will show the advantage of not having an excuse, says a writer in the Detroit Free Press. Some years ago a green-looking fellow appeared in the citv editor's room from no one knew where, ayd wanted a job. The city editor told him, as he had told hundreds of fellows before him. that there was no vacancy at present—that is the usual for- mula—but that if he came across a good bit of news it would be cheerfully accepted and paid for. Well, the young man brought in what stuff he could, and sometimes an item or two was used; but more often nothing was available, and the fellow lived as best he could, and slept in sheds or in the park, and never grumbled. The editor began to get tired of seeing his want-stricken face, and once or twice advised him to go home, but the young man said that perhaps a chance would come along by and by, and. anyhow, he was here to stay. One night the citv editor said to him:— “If vou want a chance, there’s a beautiful one open for you to-night. The street car men arc having meetings every night, and we can’t find out what they’re up to. They meet at the corner of -------th street and------avenue.” “All right,” said the young man. “Have you any objection to mv saying I’m a reporter of this paper?” “None in the least.” said the editor with a grin. “I might say. though, that Katigan. who tried to get to last night’s meeting, is in the hospital to-day.” Seeing how much in earnest the young man was, the editor added :— SOMICKVILLI? HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 127 The meeting is Slade's regular assignment to- night, hut I don't think he'll get much except a broken head, perhaps. Anyhow, if you get any- thing at all it’ll help out. Here's a couple of dollars to meet any expenses you may have.” Shortly after midnight the young man appeared in the citv editor's room. He looked as if he had been principal in a prize fight. W ell? said the city editor. 1 couldn't get in. remarked the young man. “lias Mr. Slade brought anything? Yes. a first-rate excuse like yours.” I tried to pass the guards, but they Hung me down stairs. That's how I got this. pointing to his cut and swollen lip. That's all right. I didn't expect you'd get in. I bribed a fellow for a dollar to let me in the back wav. Thev found me out and dropped me out of the window. That’s how I got this. pointing to his closed right eye. “Well, vou musn't feel discouraged. I felt a little cast down when they dropped me out of the window.” That is not bad. You ought to apply for a posi- tion in the paragraph department.” T climbed up to the roof on the rear fire escape, got info the top story through the trap door, went down to the room above them by the stair, and found that the stovepipe came up through the floor.” “Yes.” said the city editor with increasing in- terest. They were having such a stormy time below that I removed the stovepipe without any one hearing, and held the lower pipe from falling with my left hand.” Yes.” I could move it aside and see all I wanted to and hear everything.” Yes.” They have resolved to go on strike on all the lines at 9 o’clock to-morrow morning, and every one is sworn to secrecy.” Great Scott! cried the city editor, jumping to his feet. Write that up. Give us all you can of it. It is written up. You see. the electric light op- posite made the room light enough to write by. and I had to stav there and hold the stovepipe till every one was gone, and fit it up again so they wouldn't suspect. Good scheme for next meeting. So I wrote it up as I lav there.” Great head.” said the city editor. The young man is now managing one of the big- gest papers in the West, and all because his rule was:— “Never have a good excuse.”—How to Write. ------------------------- Sigma Xi.

U. have started a movement against the use of the cigarette by the youth of Somerville, an evil believed to be widespread in this citv. It would be folly for us to attempt to say that this evil does not exist in our High schools, for it does, and many of its victims can easily be recognized among our ranks. It is a sad sight to see those who are naturally bright, intelligent, ac- tive, ruining their brains and breaking down their constitutions. It is not our province to enter into any lengthy discussion of the injurious effects of cigarettes upon the health, although we will say that it is a well- known fact that when young men arc in training for athletic events or contests, they are prohibited the use of the weed in any form. Xor is it our inten- tion to enter into a talk on the moral effect of the habit, for this has been given by our honored con- temporaries, the local papers. There is one point, however, which we wish to bring before our read- ers: it is the influence which the young ladies can exert toward checking the evil. In the association of young ladies and young men. the young ladies may hold the balance of [x wer in their hands: why. then, would it not be well for them to use this power toward correcting a steadily growing evil? The blame is not to be placed upon the young ladies, but if they regarded a cigarette victim in the same light as they regard one who patronizes the saloon, it would not be long before cigarette dealers would be going out of business. As the head masters of our schools have said, the only wav to correct the habit and kill it is to make it a disgrace to be seen smoking a cigarette. Every pupil of the high schools should feel it a highest duty to help stamp out the cigarette, and set the example for those in the grammar schools and those outside, and by their example elevate the moral tone of the rising generation. This is no trifling matter: it is a question of vital importance, and should receive the thought and consideration of all. r Q UR leading article this month is by Mr. Earle, teacher of chemistry in the English High School. Mr. Earle is an enthusiast on the subject of science, and we feel sure that our readers will enjov his article. Mr. Earle has been here but a little over two months, but during that time he has introduced a system of work which makes the study of chemistry interesting as well as instructive. We feel justly proud at having secured a contribution to our col- umns from him. K If It H J H E Radiator has so far refrained from speaking about the great election which occurred last November and the issues at stake. Now, however, the die is cast. the deed is done,” the knot is tied, and McKinley is our president for four years more. With the exception of a new vice- presi- dent. Mr. Roosevelt, it is practically the same ad- ministration as it was before March 4. Mr. Mc- Kinlev is the first man since Grant to be elected to two successive terms. Mr. Cleveland held the po- sition eight years, but four years elapsed between the first and second terms. By thus retaining the administration, it would seem that the people have faith, and feel safe in trusting their welfare in the hands of those statesmen and legislators who have guided them so successfully through a just and honorable war. In the new vice-president we have a man who is the idol of every American boy, one who is fearless to meet danger, whether it be in the shape of beast or political trickery, and he generally comes up on top. So much for Teddy. The real gist of the whole matter is that from the time the national conventions were held until the inauguration cere- monies were over we were furnished with countless lessons in the making of history, lessons which it would be well for us to study, for we are soon to become a part of that great body that indirectly makes, executes, and obeys the law's. v w. j j R. W. I). EATON, who filled so successfully the position of staff artist last year, displays his taste and skill in the cover design which we pre- sent this month. We are also indebted to him for the new heading for the front page of the Radi- ator. and for several other headings which he has drawn for us. At the top of the editorial page we present a re- production of a charcoal drawing by Clifford T. Richardson. '0.3. which we think worthy of notice and mention. � 'J'HE next number of the Radiator will appear as the spring number, and will be out April 17. Besides containing many spicy and patriotic stories, it will be profusely illustrated with cuts of spring scenery. The cover, which will be one of especial beauty and attractiveness, is the work of Miss Jeanette A. Dawson. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. i AS VALUE OF CHEMISTRY IN DAILY LIFE. George Wtnburn Earle. EARLY all of the early students of chemistry directed the knowledge which they had of its principles to the solution of one or both of the fol- lowing problems: The transmutation of the cheaper metals into gold, and the discovery of a medicine which should prevent all of the dis- orders of the human frame. It is no wonder that, as it was observed that gold did not become more abundant, and that the alchemists sank into pov- erty instead of rising to opulence, and that men continued the same frail mortals as before, disease and death making no distinction between scientists and the rest of mankind, their pursuits became an object of ridicule. The world was not enough enlightened in those times to distinguish between an abuse of the art and a proper application, and thus the discredit incurred ny alchemy was for many years transferred to true chcmistrv. and the chemist was looked upon as a singular, mysterious kind of a being, who, by the aid of lire and some other agencies, produced changes in substances, more in the manner of a magician than a real scientist : and his studies and work were regarded as not having any connection with the useful arts, or helpful in any way to human beings. At the present time the world lully realizes how essential is chemical knowledge and the work ot the chemist to our every-dav existence. Chemical phenomena are intimately bound up with our daily lives, and unconsciously we arc constantly carrying on chemical operations with each breath that we inhale, with each pulsation of the heart, and with every movement of the muscles. Every hour, every moment of our lives, we arc surrounded by chemical activity, and our daily comfort, health, and happiness in a great measure are dependent upon the constant fulfillment of chemical laws and processes. How important, then, it is to have some knowl- edge of the fundamental principles of this science! record of facts discovered and of the valuable work being done in various departments by the chemists would be a library of many volumes: but what are some of the everv-day benefits which we all enjoy that have been brought about by a knowl- edge of chemist rv? It is the chemist who gives us information re- garding our. foods—the meat, the bread, and the butter which we eat: the water, the milk, the tea. and coffee which we drink. It is the chemist who carefully examines all of the ingredients upon the market used in cooking, detecting impurities and protecting us from injurious adulterations. Hav- ing analyzed the different solids and fluids of the human hotly, and studied the processes of diges- tion and determined the nature and value of vari- ous foods, the chemist tells us the kind of footls best suited for the growth and sustenance of the body, the variety most conducive to health, and the best methods for properly cooking them. In all households and communities nothing is more essential than a strict observance of all rules laid down by sanitary science for the preservation of health. On the public streets, in the home, in the schoolroom, and in the kitchen we are pro- tected daily from sickness and disease by strictly observing rules of cleanliness made possible bv the use of disinfectants and puri- fying chemicals. It is chemical knowledge that tells us the composition of the atmosphere; why it becomes poisonous with repeated breathings, and points out the necessity and the means for good ventilation and pure air in our living rooms and in public buildings. The chemist is of value at the very sources from which our chief sustenance of life is ob- tained—the soil we cultivate. Chemistry enables the farmer to better understand what plants will thrive best on certain kinds of soil, and what ele- ments are needed in the soil for the best growth of the plant. Much of our daily happiness is due to the beauti- ful, convenient, and useful articles which come to us from the arts and the manufactures. To the proper application of chemical principles depends the successful operation of many of the most im- portant and useful arts: metallurgy, enameling, making of earthenware, of porcelain, of glass, which in its innumerable uses is of inestimable value to mankind, the art of dvcitig cloths and fabrics, paper-making, paints, the working of iron and steel, and countless industries which space forbids a mention. Nearly every manufacturing house in some line of its work requires the skill of a chemist. Chemistry seems to be the nurse of all useful arts, shortening tedious processes in manu- facturing. simplifying complex ones, cheapening expensive methods, and making safe many once hazardous ones. To understand and fully appreciate the mineral world about us a knowledge of chemistry is abso- lutely essential. Minerals arc classified according to their chemical properties, ami they must fre- quently undergo a nice chemical examination before they can be referred to any particular class. The working of the mines of metals, upon which we are so dependent, is conducted upon entirely chemical principles, and the making or losing ol great fortunes in mining may depend upon a knowledge of chemistry. There is no recent application of the science more interesting than the manufacture of coloring SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 136 matters. Xot only have new dyes possessed of every hue of the rainbow been produced from coal tar. but the various compounds to which so many animals owe their color, birds their beautiful plumage, and plants and flowers their diversity and beauty of tint have been minutely studied and analyzed. Xo branch of science is so closely interwoven with our lives, and so essential to our daily comfort and happiness as is the science of chemistry. To its discoveries the civilized world owes, in a great measure, its present greatness, and much of its future progress and wonderful discoveries will un- doubtedly be through a better knowledge of those smallest of all conceivable portions of matter—the invisible chemical atoms.

IM HARWOOD sighed wearily as he glanced at the huge pile of personal mail which had just been deposited upon his desk. He had just completed his plans for the Great Northern Steel Combine on which he had been working for over three years, ever since trusts began to be formed, and he was now engaged in smoking a cigar. It was late in the afternoon, and. in fact, the first leisure moment he had allowed himself since morning, hav- ing even forgotten that there was such a thing as lunch. Of course, with the sweet aroma of his cigar playing about his nostrils, and nothing in par- ticular to think about, how could he help falling into memories of by-gone times? He had graduated from the high school eight years before, and had practically worked his way through the college on the hill.” He recalled his escapades during those years of freedom, and to tell the truth, of almost endless pleasure. He had played on the football team, and had gained some reputation in the journalistic world; in fact, he had met with uncommon successes. Like all others, lie had had a cousin. and although all had gone smoothly for some time, the inevitable “scrap had come through some misun- derstanding or other, and she had left him severely alone during the last year. This little affaire d’amour” had somewhat dampened his zeal, but he had come West and contrived to forget it. He met with one or two misfortunes at first, but soon he had steadily climbed upward with his old-time tenacity of purpose and indomitable will, and now he had almost fabulous wealth within his grasp. He had about a week ago requested the several steel magnates of the country to meet at his offices in Chicago on the following Thursday, and all had answered in the affirmative. It was now Tuesday. He had been somewhat annoyed by the double- headed columns in the dailies in regard to this meeting, the information having leaked out in some unaccountable wav. He stared in surprise at the heading. The Great Northern Steel Co.—A mam- moth monopoly to be formed by James C. Har- wood. of the Harwood Steel Co. Already, as the head of this concern, he had gained a wide reputation as an uncommonly suc- cessful and shrewd business man. He owned his mines both of iron and coal, he owned his railways to ship his pig-iron and steel products to the lakes, where it was loaded into his own vessels to be shipped to the Eastern markets. Thus he was en- tirely independent: all this he had accomplished in the almost incredibly short space of four years, and vet he would still go farther, led on by an almost insatiable ambition. He glanced in indecision at the pile of mail, then finally rang the bell, and Remington, his confiden- tial secretary, entered. After a short chat. Rem- ington began opening the letters and reading their contents aloud, while Jim industriously puffed at his cigar. Here was an application of an old col- lege chum” for a situation. I don’t quite remember the name, but tell him to come and see me.” Next came a request for a donation to a church fair. Oh. give them our compliments with a hundred and call it square.” and so they continued. As the pile diminished. Remington came upon a prettily- tinted envelope with the seal M” on it. He looked it over questioning!)', examined the postmark, and seeing it was from Medford he opened it. He glanced through it a moment and instantly refolded it. put it back and hemmed loudly. What? have you a cold? queried Jim. No. sir; but—er—I opened—er—a letter which I guess 1—er—hadn’t ought to read; it seems quite personal. Well, let’s see it. then.” Jim opened the letter and began reading. He dropped his cigar, arose, grew pale, and went toward the window. When he had finished he gazed thoughtfully out over the broad expanse of Lincoln park for a time. Suddenly turning, he asked Remington :— Were all told the meeting was on Thursday, the 21 st? Yes. sir.” Do you think any have started yet? No. sir. I think Carnegie and Frick, the two who have farthest to come, are to start from New York to-night Well telegraph everyone that it was a mistake, the date being the 28th. and call up the Lake Shore and have them get a special to go through to Boston ready as soon as possible and hail me a cab. All right, sir.” answered Remington, as he hur- ried out. Harwood found the cab waiting for him and was driven to his hotel. Here he gathered a few neces- sities into a suit-case, donned his traveling clothes, and was at the Central depot in half an hour. Giv- ing Remington a few parting orders and enjoining strict silence about his sudden departure, he bade him good-bvc and entered the car. Jim alighted from his carriage late Thursday afternoon and mounted, for the first time in eight cars, the steps he had so often climbed. It is al- most needless to sav he was flustered just a little as he entered the cosv hall, and the maid went ahead to announce his arrival. He heard a sweet voice, that almost unmanned him, singing,— i38 SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. When shall my empty heart, Love, Open its door anew? When shall she take and keep it. Love. When will my dream come---------” I hit she got no farther, for as she caught his re- flection in the mirror as he entered, following the maid, she turned, uttering a cry, and fell into his embrace. The maid discreetly disappeared. When the first burst of emotion was over, she drew herself up rather haughtily and he did likewise. Well. said Dorothy, so you came? Yes, it appears I did. though 1 am yet to learn whv.” Oh, come. lim. don’t be foolish: you know you were once, and if you don’t know why you came, who docs?” I suppose 1 came because an old friend re- quested it. then.” Only a friend?” she said softly and thoughtfully.

By the way, Dorothy, what was cite song you were singing as I came?” Oh. it's a new one just out; come, you can sing the last chorus with me.” “But I don’t know it. protested Jim. You will, though. and they sang Now has my dream come true. love. Now has my dream come true, Now shall 1 feel her soft caress Thrilling me through and through. Now shall my empty heart, love.

Olney, E'01. 11 K old Southern plantation lay in the deepening dusk of a beautiful sum- mer’s evening. The last red ripples had disappeared, and the clear blue skv was dotted here and there with tiny, twinkling stars. The air was heavy with the perfume of flowers, and along the winding driveway the frail blossoms were gently closing. The pen- dulous clusters of wistaria that covered the veranda rustled slightly, and out of the twilight came the shrill cry of the whip-poor-will.” Two figures sat silently on the dusky veranda. Then, as a moth fluttered in and out among the leaves, the elder placed her hand on the shoulder of her companion at her feet, and said quietly, as if in answer to a question long since asked.— Yes. Lisbeth. I am better, and, Lisbeth. I am happy to-night, for to-day I received a letter from —from mv husband. But listen, and I will tell you all. You have known me long, you have cared for me tenderly; it was you who watched over me. here, in despair and trouble. No. it is better I should tell vou. To-morrow it shall be the past— the dim. still past! “That same star you see yonder shines upon the little town in which I spent my happy girlhood days. A little town it was, Lisbeth. tucked away among the old green hills of New Hampshire. How happy I was there! Mv playmates called me ‘Goldie.’ for ! had long, golden curls. How well I can remember mv mother, as she used to button nn mv little red cloak and tie my hood so often, and kiss me tenderlv. Then I would trudge along to school with Ruben, waving a farewell to a dear face at the window. The speaker paused. A bat wheeled in and out among the trees. With a tremulous voice she continued:— So we grew up. Ruben and I. It was he that used to draw me up the big hill. It was Ruben that fought Tommy Milligan when he said my hair wasn't prettv. Then. Lisbeth. there came such a sad time! The smallpox broke out in our little village and many died, and among them, the dearest of all. my mother. I could not see her, but they laid her to rest at mv father's side, under the white lilac bush. Yes. I must be calm, but how plainly I can see it all. Soon I was sent away to my aunt's home in a distant citv. Aunt Hesta was a woman of the world, proud and cold. She gave me every ad- vantage money and position could buy. People said, Lisbeth. that I was beautiful, and that I had the voice of a bird. Ah. but what did it matter? I was not happv nor contented. I longed to be far away in the little village. So the years sped by. ()ne day my aunt came to me. ‘Mariam.’ she said, ‘you have been dutiful and loving, and I am proud of your success. But still I have one wish. Mr. Morse has long been striving for vour hand. He is a man. rather, a gentleman, of much property, and it is my desire to see you happilv married. I know you will con- sider and accept his proposal.’ Then she left me. It seemed as if it was the only course to take. I must repav mv aunt for her long years of care. So. Lisbeth. 1 assented. Ah. could I but live those years over again!’’ The moon was rising among the treetops. turn- ing the leaves to silver.

Then you remember mv husband went away on business, and I determined to visit my old home. Before another dav 1 had reached my destination. But. Lisbeth. time had changed the little village. Mas- sive stores stretched their fronts along the streets, here were strange houses, there, new faces. When the bells were ringing I started for the old church. I could not bear to look upon my former home, sacred with mam memories, and so turned down another street. Yes. there stood the little church, still unchanged. The tiny vestry with the rows ol lamps, the stiff-back chairs.—it was all there. But strange faces met mv gaze. Then the pastor came in. He was changed—so changed. His hair was white, but his countenance was still beautiful. How quietly and simply he talked to his flock, as my mother used to talk to me, Lisbeth. Then they sang ’Till we meet again.' The hot tears rolled down my cheeks. I longed to speak to him. to feel the pressure of his hand, but strange forms were gathered around him. I passed out. The moon was shining clearly- -a man stood in my way. 1 tried to pass. He turned. ’Mariam,' he said, ’you have come back to us?' It was Ruben. We walked along together. 1 could feel his steady gaze upon my face. People brushed past. How happy they were! The curtains were up in one of the houses, and as we approached wc could see a prettily dressed throng of children. One little fellow was blindfolded, and his little hands were stretched out in vain endeavor. ”'Mariam, see! Once we were among such a happy group. Where are our dear childhood days?’ ' Lisbeth. I could not answer. We stopped be- fore the dimly-lighted lodging house. ‘Good-by. Ruben,’ 1 said, as best 1 could. ’You must not grieve—perhaps—perhaps it is better so. 1 must go back to my husband, you to your life work. But each of us will be the better for knowing the other.' ’Yes. Mariam, you are right. 1 must go to my work—in the far West. I shall never forget the happy days of my youth, nor you, Mariam. I shall think of you in a happy home. Sometimes you will think of me. will you not?' 1 gave him my hand; tears were my only an- swer. Then he stooped and kissed my hand so tenderly, turned, and passed on. He paused once again, lifted his hat. and stood with uncovered head in the moonlight. Mariam bowed her head, tears coursed down the still beautiful face. 'The moonlight touched and nestled so tenderly among the golden locks. I must hasten. When I returned. Lisbeth. 1 could not face mv husband, and—and I fled. Day after dav we traveled, and then you cared for me here, Lisbeth. To-day I received a letter from my husband. I Ic has discovered my retreat and wishes me to return. Lisbeth. I must go: it is my duty to walk at mv husband's side through life. The speaker arose and pointed across to the distant hills, showing only a faint line in the moonlight. Yonder lies mv happy youth. It is past and buried now. Lisbeth. In front of me. across that green plain, stretches the future. It must be happy. It shall be happy for him whom I have wronged, and I shall be happy in doing my duty. 140 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. THE AUTOCRAT OF DARKNESS. C. Sherwood Ricker, L., '04. HE gathering gloom gave the sur- roundings a dreamlike appearance, and the sky was of a sott evening blue. A bat shot in and out of the window in the ivy-mantled tower” of the chapel to the left of me, adding to the evening solitude. I had lounged all day, and now 1 felt a sudden vigor and delight in my situation. A low range of mountains marked the horizon at mv right. There, 1 decided, should be my place of observation, where 1 might watch the moon rise. Through a thickly-wooded valley 1 walked for quite a while, with my seat shut off from view by tall, gaunt pines. Once more it stood out against the clear evening sky; with some difficulty 1 placed myself upon the highest peak of the nearest mountain. Here the scene was more entrancing. Ear away over the tops of the slightly nodding pines stood the chapel, and at its feet the pale white gravestones and flower- lcss mounds over which many a sad tear had been shed; further away lay the little village, with lights twinkling in the cottage windows like those that now began to twinkle above. The slight wind fell, and a deathlike stillness pervaded all. I was in- wardly happy. 1 sat down on a grass plot and rested my back and head against a large bowlder. Down the mountain side I heard the cry of a stray- wolf, answered only by a nightingale soaring above me, or the plaintive hoot of an owl. From the eastern heaven the moon slowly rose, bathing all with its silvery light. For a long while 1 had done- nothing except gaze on the tranquillity of all, when I thought I heard a footfall not far behind me. 1 turned slightlv and looked out from the edge of the rock. A man quite bent with age was slowly ap- proaching with a gun over his shoulder. I drew myself up and waited for him to pass, but he had seen me. lie was even older than 1 had at first thought. His clothing was old and torn, and he wore moccasins on his feet. I thought surely 1 must have met Rip Van Winkle II. as I gazed on his emaciated features. ‘Tm harmless, friend. he said, as he placed the butt of his gun on the ground and then leaned against it. Arc you out to shoot game, or arc you back from a day's trip? I asked. Well. I’m now bound fer some traps near ter the lake, about a mile ter the west of yer, he an- swered, pointing in that direction. Do you live in the village? I asked. It's been pretty nigh eighteen years since I lived there. he said, but I’ve been ter the old house once or twice ter get some little things I needed.” Where are you living?” I asked. Well, it's a long story, but I might as well tell yer. About eighteen years ago my wife and child died of fever, and 1 felt mighty bad. They were the only folks I had, an' then and there I started to commit suicide an’ go along with them. I didn’t, but I couldn't bear ter stay in the old house, so I went over the other side 0' this mountain, where I had found a small cave, and took up lodgings, and have stayed there ever since. Yer may think me eccentric. I never go out in the daytime, cause 1 don't feel the sunshine s in- tended fer me; all my sunshine's gone, so 1 only do my work at night. There’s never been a night 1 ain’t been on this mountain by nine, and then off ter my traps. Once in a while I go over ter the grave- yard and put some flowers over their graves. I s'posc the people think I must have committed sui- cide after 1 left. Then the people don’t know you're in the neigh- borhood? 1 asked, after listening to his strange- st ory. .No,” he answered, you’re the only one I ever told. If you’ll come over ter the lake, I'll take yer round ter the cave. 1 was only too pleased to go. I’ll take yer along a short cut. It’s dangerous, but 1 guess you can git over it if I can. He picked up his gun and started down the mountain side, and 1 followed. The moonlight percolated through the treetops. and the dead leaves rustled faintly as we trod them under foot. Aftci going half way down we turned and kept along the side for a distance, until we came out on a ledge that overlooked the lake. Below us about five- hundred feet was a pebble beach, with the lake gently licking the shore. Ain't this grand? said he. resuming the position he had taken before, and gazing out over the glassy surface of the lake. “It’s unsurpassable.” I answered. We slowly and carefully made our way down a steep decline to the beach, and then traveled along till we came to a marshy spot. Here I waited for him while he went to his traps. “Well, I got one mush rat. said he, holding the dripping creature up before me. It’s larger than the average, isn’t it?” I asked, as I looked at its plump body. .Yaw, nothing special. They don’t fatten up this time 0’ vear. Wait till fall an’ I kin show yer some of the prettiest fellows yer ever see.” After taking a resuming look at the lake, we re- turned our steps up the steep embankment. We then went around the opposite side of the moun- tain to his cave. It was decidedly odd: the shrub- bery and overhanging trees screened it from curi- ous eves, lie had made a small door and boarded up the rest. Through a small corridor he led me into a room, or perhaps more properly speaking, a widening of the corridor. Here was a rude bed. a still ruder fireplace, the smoke escaping through SOMKkYII,LK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 141 the back part of the room. Two chairs and an old bench constituted the rest of his furniture. Here this poor fellow had lived for nearly eighteen years, with hardly a soul to speak to. and with only the Bible and a dictionary to read. I stayed in this peculiar dwelling for about an hour, talking with this man. or mostly telling him of what was happen- ing outside his small world. lie showed me his diary that he had religiously kept. Sometime after I'm dead, if ycr should wander this way. you'll find my diary in a crevice over yonder. said he. pointing with his thumb. He accompanied me over the mountain to the graveyard, and there we parted. I fancied I saw a tear shining in the old man’s eyes as 1 grasped his hand. God bless ycr; may yer never hafter be the way 1 am.” Good-bvc. If he fancied he saw a tear in my eye. 1 think he fancied right. I pitied him from the bottom of my heart. I watched him disappear among the pines, and then started home, feeling in a decidedly different mood from that in which 1 started out. A SUMMER. Alice B. X a little country village far away in the I wilds of Maine, a schoolhouse stands upon a hill, a tiny building and red. as s die fashion of schoolhouscs there. The teacher elected to rule this little kingdom during the summer term was Gladys Golden. She was a young girl, fresh from Kent’s Hill, who intended to enter Colby in the fall. This institution seemed to her an exhaustless mine of knowledge, whence she would gain learning untold, which at some future time she might diffuse among the simple village folk of Maine, thus making the world better for her presence. Gladys was a bright, interesting girl, with that indefinable air of youth and health which is always so attractive, and she soon became popular among the young people of the town. Her parents having both died while she was very young, the home of her father’s sister at Chilton was opened to the orphan, and here she passed a most unhappv childhood, subjected to the cutting indifference of her uncle, even more unendurable to her loving disposition than the querulous com- plaining of her invalid aunt. But ail was changed when she went to the seminary. Here she was a favorite with all. and thoroughly enjoyed the years of study and pleasure at the Hill.” One day. early in the summer. Gladys was sur- prised and delighted to receive an invitation, written in a fine, sloping hand, requesting the pleasure of her company at an evening gathering at the home of Miss Douglass. This maiden lady owned the one great house in the village, was a member of the church which Gladys attended, and was much re- spected and admired. The pretty young teacher was in a flutter of excitement as the day drew near. ()n the eventful evening she donned a simple white muslin.—her best gown,—and walked with beating heart up to the imposing white mansion, which stood, statelv as its mistress herself, a little way back from the principal street of the village. Perry. Miss Douglass welcomed her with a cordiality which made her loving young heart thrill with pleasure. She was then introduced to a tall young man standing bv her hostess’ side, who proved to be that lady's nephew. Philip Randall, in whose honor the party was being given. T he evening passed pleasantly, and all were sorry when the time came to say good-night. lien the last departing guest had gone and the door was closed on the night and the darkness, Philip and his aunt sat talking before the dying em- bers in the fireplace. She told him the story of Gladys’ life, finding him an interested listener. He had liked her. for she seemed to him so different from the girls whom lie met at the musicales given by his sister in his Boston home, and he resolved fo become better acquainted with her. A few days later, as Gladys was taking the key from the door of the little schoolhouse. after seeing that all was in readiness for the morning and send- ing every little straggler on his way, Mr. Randall sauntered down along the meadow path, thinking what a prettv picture she made, outlined against the dull red of the building, with the beams of the afternoon sun lighting up her bright hair. He joined her on her homeward walk, and after this his daily strolls brought him at four o'clock in the vicinity of the schoolhouse. He had never taken so strong an interest in the finest educational structure of his native city as he now felt in this weather- beaten. one-roomed building. The summer passed like a joyous dream, the happiest time of her life for Gladys. W hen Satur- day came the two took long walks and drives among the hills and meadows, sometimes gathering speci- mens for her botanical collection, or again merely enjoving the wealth of nature.—the birds, the flowers, the hills, and—each other. Both were of poetic temperament, and loved the distant moun- tains. standing in their far-away splendor hazy and blue against the sky. and loved to watch the marvel- 142 SOMKRVILUC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. ons ami ever-changing tints of the sunset. From the sheltered porch of her uncle's house they gazed with awe at the grand and awful storms which swept over the peaceful valley, as a bird of prey swoops down upon his victim, darkening the air with his o’er-clouding wings, then disappearing over the brow of the mountain as quickly as he came. Rut a summer cannot last forever, and September came, bringing with it their first parting. He placed on her finger a circlet of gold containing a simple, though odd. emerald setting, priceless in her eyes, and she promised to wear it always for his sake. Then they parted, she to begin her college life at Colby, he to enter on his junior year in Har- vard. The winter months flew by. Letters passed be- tween them, and at first both looked eagerly forward to another summer at Chilton as delightful as had been the last: but the fates decreed it otherwise, and in tlie spring Philip accompanied his mother and .sisters abroad. Gladys spent her vacation at the bedside of her aunt, who lingered through the warm days of spring and summer, but closed her life of pain and trouble before the autumn came. Mr. and Mrs. Randall discouraged Philip's in- timacy with the young schoolmarm, ' as his young- est sister tauntingly called her. and when he was graduated from Harvard and the question of mar- riage came up. they refused to allow him to bind himself to a penniless country girl. I le begged and pleaded, but it was of no avail. Perhaps, too. he took it more easily, since two years of excitement and pleasure had elapsed since he had seen her. Her life had been quiet enough during those two years, but she had his picture and his ring, and had spent many hours writing long, bright letters in answer to his hastily .penned notes. Xow he wrote, informing her as gently as possible of what had oc- cured. assured her that he should never cease to care for her. begged her to forget him. and bade her a sad farewell forever. Her picture had been in his watch case ever since that happy summer, and there it remained, a sacred and beloved possession, until the eve before his wedding with a stylish and wealthy young ladv of Boston, when he removed and kissed it. and tenderly consigner! it to the flames. Fight r ears afterward. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Ran- dall. with their little daughter, spent the season in their summer cottage at Chatham. It was an ideal spot in which to while away the hot days, and they could scarcely bring themselves to leave its pleasant retirement when their winter duties called them again to the crowded city. Farly in December Philip went down for a day or two to see that all was in order for the coming winter. He reached Chatham late at night, went to the principal hotel, and took a room. All night the sound of the sea was in his ears: the beating of the surf seemed louder to him than ever before. hen morning came he rose early and went at once to the beach. The water seemed to possess a strange fascination for him. He found a crowd as- sembled on the shore, talking excitedly and gath- ered about some object on the sand. Philip curiously drew near. What a sight met his horrified gaze! The body of a man, washed ashore by wind and tide, lay there upon the beach. Hastily purchasing a morning paper from an enter- prising small boy. who was telling in the shrillest tones that right here were all the details. Philip read the glaring headlines and more modestly printed particulars. The Portland, a steamer bound for the Maine citv of that name, had been long over- due, was last sighted off Thatcher’s Island, and now the bodies of those who had embarked on her for that fatal journev were coming ashore at various places. No one knew when or where she was lost, in fact it is not known at this day. As he ran through the list of passengers, the name. Miss Gladys Golden, caught his eye. He stared at it. almost believing that it would change. Rut no. there it was. printed in plainest type, and seemed to be burning itself into his very soul. The fishermen tell the story of how that wealthy and cultured young man for nearly two weeks went up and down the shores of Cape Cod. examining each bodv that floated in on the waves, searching for a ladv whom he had known years before. He was the onlv person there who could possibly have iden- tified her. and at last he found the mortal portion of the girl whom he had once loved. How did he know that it was she? A ring containing a simple, though odd. emerald setting encircled the finger on which he had placed it so long ago. She had worn it alwavs for his sake, but how short had that alwavs proved to be!

K. II. S. Alumni Association and the Daughters of Maine Club in the English High building on the evening of March ( . The building was a blaze of light, and the differ- ent departments of work were in operation under the direction of their able instructors, giving the public, through the double channel of invitation, an excellent opportunity to view the results of a first- class high school training, under modern methods and influence. The biological departments, the chemical and physical departments, and the manual training and drawing departments arc to be especially credited for their showing of the work and efforts of the pupils and instructors. Of course, the other departments are not capable of being demonstrated to the public at an evening reception, but the whole tone of the school is apparent to the most casual observer. Although there seemed to be the general opinion that the sc’ ’ was some- what crowded, yet nothing but commendation and praise for the school and its work was heard on every hand. A unique feature of the scientific work was the wireless telegraphy experiment, the success of which is due to the enterprise of Messrs. Poor and Earle. Met ween 8 and 9 o’clock the guests were received in the principal's room bv Mrs. Mac D. Frazar. president of the Daughters of Maine Club, C. T. C. Whitcomb, head master of the school and presi- dent of the Sons of Maine Club of Somerville, and Herbert E. Stone, president of the Alumni Asso- ciation. A committee of tliirtv members of the Daughters of Maine, assisted by a committee from the Alumni, presented the guests to the receiving party. Refreshments were served in the lower hall, under the direction of a committee of the Daughters of Maine. Later in the evening the guests found their way into the Lecture hall, where they were entertained by singing bv the Alumni present, in charge of Mr. I ladlcy. and a song. “The I loly City. bv Miss Lottie Williams, which was illustrated with the stcreopticon and colored slides under the direc- tion of Messrs. Foster and Nichols. The whole affair shows the enterprise of the lead- ing woman's club of this city, as well as the ability of the Alumni to rise to an occasion, and the two clubs worked in perfect harmony. It was evident that the invited public were grateful for the oppor- tunity to look the school over. From the social standpoint, the affair was excellently well managed, and truly successful. We hope this departure in the public appreciation of our high school life will be continued by the Alumni in the coming seasons. T. S. O. Dance. ()ne of the prettiest affairs of the season, the T. S. (). «lancing party, was enjoyed, in the full sense of the word, at Anthoine’s Academy on Tuesday even- ing. March 12. Although the floor was not crow led. there were just enough couples to make a jolly good time and financial success, without any of the disadvantages of a crowd. The hall had been very tastefully decorated, and the girls are to be complimented on the good judg- ment exhibited in the arrangements. Towne’s or- chestra furnished music, with the laughable intro- duction of the wailings of a bagpipe during the Portland Fancy, which almost turned it into a Highland Fling. Whatever T. S. O. may signify, we may say we are certain of several tilings. To use the words of one of our social critics, The young ladies of this club ought to take especial pride in being able to demonstrate to the general public their ability to run a successful dance.” The club is to be congratulated on its success, and we hope to be favored with more of their de- lightful parties in the future. The matrons were Mrs. S. C. Fraser and Mrs. Howard Dawson. Miss Ethel A. Hyde, floor di- rector. was assisted by Misses Grace Fraser. Ger- trude Yerxa. May Reed. May Keefe, Maud Knapp. Maud Morse. Florence Ricker. Jeannette Dawson, and Bessie Crocker. ------------------ On the wealthv I.arica's worn features T wrote In rhyme some extravagant praise.

We have since discovered a worthy rival for this prodigy in Miss Bonney’s pullet. which weighed, as we are told, more than ten pounds. A good sized bird! Let us start a poultry show. We have all heard the story of the donkey who was persuaded to run by means of a bag of oats suspended some few inches in front, of his nose. Wouldn't it be a good idea to try some such scheme in the case of our track team? Anyone having an idea of what should be substituted for oats will please communicate same to Captain Graham. Those who came through that recent Vergil test with any degree of success arc fully qualified to write farmers’ almanacs, or assume positions in the weather bureau. Vergil must have been the weather man on some Roman daily. Did he ever forget his umbrella? It is a good thing to be engrossed in one’s busi- ness. Bennett, on being asked a question recently, replied. Not on your elliptical carbonette. It took the questioner some time to realize that this answer was merely a polished way of saying “not on your tintype. Bennett is nothing if he is not up-to- date. There is a story about five or six of our class- mates who band together and use but one Radiator among them. The other evening all of them went to the theatre, that is. they bought a single ticket and sent in one of their number, who. after watching the show a short while, obtained a return check, and going out. passed it over to a second. The second went in. re- mained a short time, got a return check, and sent in a third. They kept this up till all had seen some part of the plav: then each related the portion which lie had witnessed, and by patching the several nar- ratives together, all six got the whole plot of the play for the price of one ticket. Splendid idea, wasn't it? Just look about you. and you'll see who the six were. Now that the matter of a class photographer is settled, we may expect to hear that good old joke about breaking the camera. We don’t object, provided you patronize the photographer who was elected. This is the only fair thing to do. After the expense of furnishing samples and time, Mr. Purdy has a right to expect a good return for his trouble. 1902. Story is not soIkt enough.

The exchange column of the Lynn Gazette for February is decidedly too short. The II. S. Argus of Richmond, Ind., is cer- tainly a bright paper, well got up. The editorials on school life are particularly good. The Jablierwock of Boston is a very breezy paper. We compliment the girls on turning out such a creditable publication.

If you want a warrant, why not break some law and have one brought to your house? It would save postage. We really have no serious objections to reciting in a padded cell. Who knows?

Noble was seen doing a cake walk with a choco- late cream. He had a sweet partner, did he not? It was funny to see W------try to blow his ear trumpet. At a recent class meeting Bradford moved that a century plant be planted instead of an ivy this year, and Allen made an amendment to that motion, which was that Bradford return at the end of the century and see the plant blossom. 1902.

The death of Benjamin Harrison leaves but one surviving ex-President of the United States, and re- moves from the nation a noble faithful, and patriotic citizen. Mr. Harrison illustrates a class of which America furnishes many examples. Well-born, and inheriting sterling qualities of character, but not surrounded in youth by wealth or even by superior advantages, he was forced to depend largely upon his own efforts. The perseverance, energy, and faithfulness with which he labored carried him suc- cessfully through collegiate and legal studies, char- acterized his military service in the Civil War, and won for him the reward from his countrymen of the presidential office. rite years of President Harrison’s administration were not those of stirring events or great crises, but under his leadership the nation advanced to a higher standard of conservatism and honor. Upon the expiration of his term of office Mr. I larrison did not retire to the background of forget- fulness. but became the most illustrious citizen of the United States in private station. In the practice of the legal profession Mr. Harri- son was eminently successful, being especially an authority on constitutional law. In the Venezuelan boundary dispute he represented the South Ameri- can Republic, receiving the remarkable fee of $100,000. American youth may well study as a model the life of this noble man. one of the best of whose tributes has been the saying, He relied for success, not upon genius, but upon the faculty of taking in- finite pains.” HARRISON’S HOME TRIBUTE.

The members of the track team gave a good ac- count of themselves at the big open meet of the B. A. A. Though up event was captured, the men gained much needed experience. Smith, Keyes. Story, and South worth in the quarter-mile novice showed to advantage against the other school boys in the race. The twenty yards invitation race was won by Duffy, of Georgetown, with Eaton second, in world's record time. Purcell, in the mile, gave his admirers a pleasant surprise. He ran with an easy stride, well back from the leaders, until the last lap, when he picked up all but one man. He should win the interscholastic mile with ease. Newton H. S. Meet. At the Newton H. S. meet on Washington’s Birthday the relay team ran the Noble Green- ough's school. The race was a procession, with the red and blue at the front. Somerville could have lapped their opponents, if necessary. The team was requested to run an exhibition to try for the track record, and but for the fact that both Eaton and Story fell on the corners, it would have been broken. Cambridgeport G. A. Meet. Somerville defeated the Tufts 1903 class team at the C. G. A. meet. It was a very one-sided con- test. Somerville's last two men merely trotting around the track, half a lap in the lead. Keyes, Southworth. and Jennings qualified for the final of the quarter-mile handicap. Jennings would undoubtedly have won the event, but his shoe unfortunately gave way near the finish. Closed Games. The first annual indoor meet was held in Union hall Friday evening. March S. Through the fail- ure of the officials of the A. A. I,’, to furnish the necessary sanction on time, the special events could not be run, to the great disappointment of the large audience. Most interest centered in the class relay races, which were close and exciting. The two schools divided honors in these events, English 1901 and 1901 and Latin 1903 and 190? being the winners.

The lawns upon Central hill are looking green and beautiful, and the smiling daffo- dils arc lifting their heads to the gentle rains. The air. which, during the past few months, has been filled only with the moanings of the wind, is now made rich with the harmonious melodies of the re- turned song’ birds. The leaf buds arc showing sign of bursting their slmcklike coats and spread- ing out their leaves to the sdft breezes. The air is full of joy. music, happiness. It is a time to be happy, for this is the month in which American liberty made its first stand. Who is not filled with pride, happiness, loyalty, when he stands by the statue of the minute man at Concord and reads’:— SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 5« By this rude bridge that arched the tloo l. Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world. Tis a beautiful spot, this rude bridge. a place where we may sit and dream for hours, dream of heroes long since passed away, of monuments reared only to crumble, but of deeds the memory of which will never grow cold, never cease to live in the hearts of the American people. Deeds which have been sung by poets, given everlasting renown hv our great authors, and handed down to 11s by our fathers as one of the richest legacies which they could bestow. It is now over 125 years since the Battle of Lex- ington. and vet. on the nineteenth of April, we see crowds of people wending their way toward the famous battleground. Toward the rolling river and the Old Manse.” so dear to us through its asso- ciation with Hawthorne and his classic works. Our fancy even carries us among those em- battled” farmers, and we hear ourselves shouting to those around us:— Once more stand firm, ye heroes, stand, Once more repel the foe; God for our cause, stand fast, ye braves, And meet the final blow.” Dearer to us than the detailed acounts of the wars of Caesar, the deeds of the great Xapoleon, or the successes of Cromwell is this one little Battle of Lexington and Concord. Dearer to 11s than the “Iliad” is the poem of Paul Revere’s ride: the former is an account of a great war. the latter of the race for liberty which roused the people to the full knowledge that they had the power to demand and secure justice, freedom, and self-government. A XOTIIER success has been scored in amateur theatricals hv our schools. A success which towers as high above all previous records as does the Bunker-hill monument above the statue of Colonel Prescott at its base. It is easy to see why it was given with so much satisfaction to all. The fact is. it was what might be termed an all-star cast. While a close critic might find material for criticism, he would be forced to admit that, consid- ering the small stage, the lack of such equipment as is afforded at a large theatre, and the modest re- serve which a few of the players showed, it was an artistic and noteworthy production of Shakespeare’s famous plav. Those who have seen Miss Nichols in her pres- entation of “Jeanne d'Arc” will believe us when we say that her Portia is equally masterly, and cannot be outclassed bv anv save one who has spent years behind the footlights. The next star in line was Mr. Wilkins, whose Shvlock needs to be seen to be appreciated. The only thing we will say about him is that he was natural, spontaneous, and unmechanical. The other parts were played to the full satisfac- tion of the many who saw the presentation on one of the two nights it was given. 'piIE season for baseball practice has opened with a very favorable outlook toward the champion- ship. Captain Iones, of football fame, reports that some excellent material is in line this year, and certainly, with plenty of practice, good coaching, and so able a captain, the team ought to score a record for S. H. and L. which would stop short of nothing but the championship. All cannot play in the team, but they can cheer and sing, and that is what they should do. If every young man sees to it that the modest maidens of his acquaintance are provided with proper escort, and that they are there to cheer, for they can cheer, and he himself has his feline” voice in perfect trim, we mav feel assured that we shall see the pennant of victory waving proudly over our schools. W E are pleased to say that, by our special re- quest, Mr. Poor has favored us this month with an article on the famous Luray Caverns, the marvelously beautiful cave of Virginia. Mr. Poor is so familiar with these caverns that we know our readers will be very much pleased to be able to learn something of them from his pen. It is also with pleasure we learn that Mr. Poor is to conduct a party this vacation on a trip to Washington, and we wish success and a pleasant trip to him and the party under his charge. Jl E design on our cover this month is the work of Miss Jeannette A. Dawson, whose design for the November Radiator placed her among the foremost rank of high school artists. We arc pleased, therefore, to be able to secure a- second design from her pencil. « K K 'J'HE story, A Summer,” which appeared in last month’s Radiator, was written by Alice P. Berry, L., 02. Our contributors cannot be too careful in signing their names, and thus avoid such mistakes. SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 59 THE LURAY CAVERNS. Howard W. Poor. () the traveler who has visited many lands, and viewed the varied and won- derful places u|m ii the surface of the earth, the familiar sights and scenes become tiresome. The dweller in the Alps or the Rockies wearies of the continual sight of mountain peaks. The sailor, however much he may love the sea. finds the broad expanse of never-ending ocean monotonous. We are all familiar with the star-lit sky. and though we gaze upon the most brilliant points of the heavens, scarcely more than a momentary interest is awak- ened. All things common and plainly visible are thus passed bv unnoticed. Hut the unseen, the fanciful, the mysterious, has attracted the interest of men of all lands and of all ages, and has led them to speculate upon the regions and inhabitants of the nether world. This scarcely need be wondered at. for every rift and crevice in the rocks has afforded means whereby not only the poet and the tourist receive their fill of what interests them, but also the student of nature and the geologist are furnished with in- formation regarding the prehistoric earth and its human inhabitants. To the lover of the marvelous and the beautiful the underground caverns arc es- pecially pleasing and instructive. Among these caverns none are more strikingly beautiful, and none present more varied and interesting structures, than those of Luray, Virginia. The town of Luray is situated a few miles south- west of Winchester, in a part of the great valley of the Shenandoah. East of the town the long ridge of blue-rimmed mountains rises to the height of nearly four thousand feet, and on the west the irregular peaks of North mountain lift their heads to nearly the same height. Through the centre of this valley flows the Ilawksbill. a picturesque and enchanting little stream, which grumbles and roars as it rushes and leaps from cliff to cliff over its stony bed. or laughs and smiles as it ripples and glides calmly and peacefully through the meadows until it finally loses its identity in the Shenandoah beneath the rustic bridge at Luray. Not alone in natural scenery is the town of Luray celebrated, for many historical scenes were enacted there. In the spring of 18 � 2 Stonewall Jackson marched through the town on that famous flank- movement upon General Ranks. A little later Gen- eral Shields marched through to intercept the wily confederate, and after the battle of Port Republic Luray was in the line of the Federal general’s re- treat. Again in 1S :{ Lee’s army was forced up the valley as far as Thornton’s gap. where he crossed and once more confronted his old adversary. Yet not on account of its natural scenery or its war history is the town widely known, but a conical shaped hill about a mile west of the town has brought it almost universal renown. I’p to 1878 this hill had not been regarded more than any other, except that a deep depression at its base was tilted with water, and numerous depres- sions and sink-holes along its sides were filled with bushes, stones, and briars, which were the haunts of rabbits. In April of the same year a young man from Easton. Maryland, arrived in the town and employed several of the young men to assist him in a search for a lost cave which he was sure existed there. Roth lie and his companions searched every hollow and depression on the hillside, in spite of the fact that the people of the town laughed at them and called them Cave Rats. The old inhabitants as- sured them that their work was all in vain, and that all they would find would be dissipated hopes and thwarted ambitions. They, however, persevered. THE BALLKOOM. and in August. 1878. examined a large depression on the hillside, and after much labor in removing the stones and brush, they discovered an opening through which a current of air was passing. Hastily enlarging the opening. Mr Campbell, one of the young men of the town, was lowered into it by means of a rope. )n reaching the bottom, candle in hand, he peered about and at last dis- covered a long, narrow rift with no apparent outlet: through this lie crawled with much difficulty and found himself in one of the most beautiful hails his eyes had ever gazed upon. In the fascination of ex- ploring this new world all else was forgotten, and not until his candles were burned out did he return to his frightened companions on the surface and as- tonish them by a recital of his adventures. After a i Go SOMHR V ILK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. few days the town of Luray was startled by an an- nouncement that a new cave had been discovered. Thousands flocked to view this wonderful dis- covery, and the so-called “Cave Rats became the heroes of western Virginia. The hole into which Mr. Campbell was lowered is now covered with a house, through which all tourists must pass in order to enter the cave. Here must be left all such articles as umbrellas, canes, lest the excited visitor in his eagerness to point out some beautiful form should break the delicate orna- ment and thus destroy the work of years. That readers may better understand the marvel- ous beauty of this fairy land let us in fancy prepare for the descent through the same orifice into which Mr. Campbell had been lowered. At the word Ready, we arrange ourselves in single file, re- flectors in hand, at the head of a long flight of stairs, down which we follow our guide, through the blue stratum of limestone. A draught of peculiarly fresh, cool air meets us. and suddenlv. at the foot of the stairway, we step into the vestibule of one of nature’s wonders. For a moment we stop to collect our wandering senses, because the mind is dazed by the sudden transition from the noise, bustle, and freedom of the outer world to the silence of this subterranean world. The weird, monstrous, grotesque forms seem to be endowed with a supernatural life. We half fancy some huge monster or fiendish imp will step forth from behind some dark corner or pillar; or gazing upward to some delicate tracery, we almost expect to see some light airy form flitting from one nook to another. In front and on every side we sec suspended from the ceiling of this hall glittering stalactites, and underneath our feet are rising all around the forest plants of this magic world, the sturdy stalagmites. Sometimes we find them meeting and forming a solid column, resembling a huge cone inverted on a second. Fancy even is dazed by this magnificent display and by the awful stillness. It seems well- nigh impossible that chance alone could have fashioned and moulded such a scene. While thus musing and dreaming, we arc suddenly awakened bv the voice of our guide, and our attention is called to a massive column, thirty-five feet high and twenty feet in diameter, called Washington column. As we move forward we see all around us the never-ending lines of stalactites, which shine and glisten in the darkness like chandeliers to light us on our way. A little further and we enter a room which gives us the impression of a large vegetable garden, and we see growing the bulb-like forms re- sembling asparagus, beets, cabbage, and cauli- flower. Descending still lower into the cave, we come to the shores of a placid lake, near which is a smooth round stone deeply indented with four long scratches, caused by bears’ claws, our guide tells us. Soon after we enter a large room around which runs a gallery. This is called the Theatre. From the ceiling in the centre of this room hangs a strange stalactite which gives the impression of a basket filled with fruit. Looking ahead toward the in- terior. we see a wonderful arch, rightly named the Natural Bridge, and reminds us. as one writer has expressed it, of Tennyson’s poem in which he speaks of ‘An arch wherethro’ Gleams that untravel’d world whose margin fades Forever and forever when I move.’ ” Passing under this arch, we find ourselves in the Fish market, one of the most.curious rooms in the cave. 11 ere long rows of fluted stalactites have as- sumed the shape and coloring of lines of black bass, silver perch, salmon, and rock-fish. With the water glistening on their black blacks and white sides, tlie resemblance is perfect. The intricacies of F.lfin’s Ramble next absorb our attention, and we arc confused and bewildered by the labyrinth of ways, formed by the columns and stalactites. Just beyond this maze a deep, «lark abyss yawns beneath our feet. The name Pluto’s chasm seems most ap- propriate. for it is over seventy-five feet deep and five hundred feet wide. We pass a rift in this cavern through which the god of the lower regions is sup- posed to have carried his unwilling bride Pros- erpine. Across the chasm is seen a shrouded figure of such ghostly whiteness and so lifelike in appearance that we involuntarily start back, though we well know that the figure is fixed and immov- able. In another room near by the stalactites have assumed the form of draperies, suspended swords, and. here and there, groups of statuary. The balcony of Skeleton Gorge next attracts our attention, for here are those most wonderful forma- tions resembling blankets with perfect colored borders, and in the same room is found that pecu- liar horizontal formation resembling a human hand. Joining this balcony is a room containing the Crystal spring, from which issues a stream of water so clear and sparkling that we cannot resist the temptation to take a drink, and we find it to be palatable and refreshing. Descending from the balconv. the Skeleton Gorge next claims our atten- tion. This gorge was named from the bones of a human being which were found there: and since scientists have pronounced them to be the bones of a female, a pretty legend has been discovered tell- ing of the self-sacrifice of a beautiful Indian maiden who. after the death of her lover, entered this cave and leaped from the cliff to meet her lover in the spirit world. Passing in turn through Giant’s hall, where everything is of massive proportions, and Obcron’s Grotto, we come to Titania’s Veil, a marvel of beauty and of nature’s handiwork. Tn the adjoin- ing room hangs Helen’s Shawl, a marvelously beau- tiful sheet of stalactite so thin as to be almost trans- parent. and near this is the Frozen Fountain, re- garded by many as the most beautiful structure in the cave. Just beyond is Chapman’s lake, so named from an enthusiastic visitor who. advancing head up. candle in hand, suddenlv found both his ardor and his candle extinguished in the icy waters. Near this lake is the Cathedral, a vast structure ornamented with many groups of statuary, on one SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 161 :I Ic of which is the organ, whose pipes give forth tones when struck with wood or metal. To the left of the organ are the chimes, consisting of a number of short stalactites which, when struck, give forth sweet, musical sounds. The 'Power of Babel, a huge structure twenty stories high, and Mahomet’s Coffin, a massive rock of limestone suspended in mid air. arc next passed in review, and we emerge at length into a large cir- cular space furnished with all that is striking in cave scenery. In size and shape it justifies the name given it. the Ballroom, for this apartment, though the lowest in the cave, three hundred feet below the surface, is one of the largest and most richly orna- mented. It is furnished with a wooden fl x r, and the voting people of Lurav and vicinity are accus- tomed to gather here on festive occasions to while away the hours in the dreamy measures of the waltz, or pass the time in some shady, silent nook formed by the many ornaments of this palatial hall. It is with reluctance that we leave so charming a spot and turn our steps upward, but we arc some- what comforted by the view of lakes and rivers, es- pecially the view of the far-famed river Rhine, upon whose banks we see those noted castles, the scene of so much of romance and adventure. Though passing hundreds of other forms and many rooms, we find that the mind has become so exhausted by the number of fantastic pictures which have been presented to our view, and by the lively play of emotions through these hours of travel, that we arc obliged to end our journey here and return to the surface, there to think and dream of the wonderful realms we have visited. MIDSUMMER NIGHT ON THE CHARLES. G. Heyward Allen, E., '01. LHASAXTLY our paddles sounded with their steady dip, dip, and occa- sional little splashes! Full of life seemed our canoe, as it glided swiftly along over the rippling waters of the Charles, and our paddles scattered pearls, tinged with the soft colors of the setting sun. Yes. the sun was getting low, and we had none too much time for making camp before darkness would overtake us. The day had been hot and dusty; one of those lazy, summer days when one longs for the cool of evening. Late in the afternoon we had decided to spend the night upon the Charles, and hastily taking the train, we were soon at Rivervicw. loading our canoe with all the materials necessary for a camp. We had brought with us simply some bacon and a few eggs: the rest was packed away in my locker at the canoe-house for just such occasions as this. Some coffee, an ordinary two-quart pail in which to cook it. and a can of condensed milk to serve in it: two tin plates, two tin cups, a frying-pan, a fork, and a jack-knife: in fact everything which a dainty meal requires. In addition to these, we placed in the canoe a hammock, two heavy blankets, a jug (for spring water), and a hatchet; and now we were ready. Harry and I. and were soon forcing the canoe ahead with long, sweeping strokes toward the island which was to be our home for the night. Presentlv. as we rounded a bend, it came into view. Could a more beautiful spot be chosen for a camp? Lying in the centre of the river, it rises to a height of about fifteen feet. Although the island is small, yet it contains a number of trees growing about its edges, birches to the north, and large, massive oaks to the south and west, while on the east the bank slopes down to a sandy beach. Yes. this was to be our island home, and how different it was from the busy, restless city. Little wonder that as the canoe grated upon the sand we leaped out and raced over the island, for all the world like two young colts let loose in a pasture. But not for long. Soon the last rays of the set- ting sun. tingeing now only the upper foliage of the trees, as if loathe to give up their grasp on so beau- tiful an island, reminded us that we had no time to lose if we wished to lay in a comfortable stock of fire wood. So. storing our bundles in the bushes, we hurried away to the mainland. and within half an hour were returning with our canoe loaded down to the wales with logs and faggots. It was decided by tossing up a penny that Harry should take the jug. and paddle up river to a favor- ite spring, while I should stay and prepare the camp for the night. My first work was to build the fire, and soon I had a cheerful blaze sputtering and crackling near the centre of the island, and throwing long shadows out into the gathering gloom upon the river. Next I proceeded to sling my hammock up among the branches of the birch trees, and so made a bed of perfect ease and comfort: for every move- ment would cause the hammock to sway, the boughs to bend, and the leaves to rustic about me. Tn fact, a bird rocking in the tree-tops would have no better nest than I that night. I had no sooner completed this than I heard a hail from the river. Hurrying to the bank. I met Harry stepping ashore, and together we carried the canoe up on to the island and placed it on the grass near the hammock. Now that the work was done, we could take our case, and so we did. The wind had entirely gone down, and the stars shone as brilliantly in the water as in the heavens, SOMKRVILLIS HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 162 except where great trees along the bank cast their heavy shadows upon the river. Occasionally we could hear the soft splash of paddles and now and then an equally soft and musical laugh, when the shadowy forms of canoes, with the twinkling light of joss-sticks, passed on their way up river. Suddenly a burst of silvery light flooded the scene, and as the full moon rose above the trees the river took on a new aspect. Till quite late we sat thus, talking at times, while at times it seemed as though the human voice was out of harmony with the surroundings. Finally, after adding a few sticks to the fire. Marry rolled himself in a blanket, and stretched himself out in the canoe upon the grass: by no means a poor bed. filled as it was with cushions and pillows. For mv part I was unwilling as yet to leave so beautiful a scene: and drawing on a sweater, I flung myself upon my back, down near to the bank, and for a long time lay there studying the stars. I could but think that many a savage may have lain as 1 did. his canoe drawn upon the island, his campfire near at hand, and gazed as I did up into God's broad heavens. At last I. too. began to feel drowsy, and after laying across the fire a log which would burn till morning. 1. in turn, wrapt a blanket about me, and clambered up into my hammock among the birches. Somewhere in the distance I could hear the clock striking the hour: and suddenly, from a camp farther down the river, the long, clear notes of a bugle came floating to us through the still night air. and with them I was carried, as they went echo- ing among the hills farther and farther away. Merchant of Venice. The people of Somerville who attended the pro- duction of the “Merchant of Venice,” given in Uni- tarian hall bv a select cast from the High Schools March 2? and 28. saw a rendering of the famous play which might well arouse the envy of profes- sionals. Xot only is each and every character to be commended on the splendid manner in which the parts were taken, but many of the principal char- acters are to be complimented on their professional attainments. Probablv the character around whom the most in- terest centered was our gifted elocution instructor, Miss Eda L. Nichols, who made a Portia that can hardlv be criticised. She was not the least bit stagey, and her playing of every part was creditable, especially so in the “Quality of Mercy” speech, where she showed a power of expression, combined with the unique ability of bringing out the more subtle, delicate effects, which, with a stately grace and personal charm, have won for her, either on the stage or on the platform, or in the school, an envi- able record. S. Henry Wilkins, as Shylock. the Jew, has made a tremendous hit: not only has lie taken that part with more than usual success, but lie has shown a power of throwing himself absolutely into a char- acter which for years has been the dream of ambi- tious actors of world-wide reputation. I)r. F. H. Clock, who staged the play, and whose excellent management and direction made the play harmoni- ous in every detail, scored a brilliant hit in Lancelot Gobbo, which even professionals could not dupli- cate. John C. Haartz, in Old Gobbo. also claims a share of our attention in connection with the char- acter of Launcclot Gobbo. the two parts being so closely allied and well played. Bassanio, although apparently hampered by an unnatural indifference the first night, was played to the satisfaction of all by Bert Pollen, of the Emerson School of Oratory. George W. Grover, as Antonio, while a trifle too stiff, brought out the character to good advantag It is hardly necessary to say that William Nichols played the part of Gratiano to the delight of all. for Mr. Nichols has played the part professionally, and so docs not need our commendation. Ncrissa, as played bv Miss Lottie Williams, though well taken, was not as brilliant as Miss Williams is capable of doing in heavier parts. Jessica, by Miss Alice G. Wilkins, was too unresponsive for the impulsive Jessica, which is perhaps natural, since most of our young ladies find it hard to break through their natural reserve and dignity, but Lorenzo, her ro- mantic lover, bv Charles Allen Stackpole, was ro- mantic indeed, and fully made up for Jessica's lack of spirit. Of course the minor characters deserve mention, but space forbids, so we must refer our readers to the cast as published in last month’s Radiato� . But we cannot pass over the Court of Justice scene without a word of praise for the highly dramatic effect, nor can we say too much in favor of the fine scenery and stage effects, among which a gondola on a Somerville stage certainly made quite a sensa- tion. From a financial standpoint, the play satisfied its managers, the house being crowded both nights by a responsive, appreciative audience. The Radiator takes especial interest in the play, since it was given almost entirely by High School talent, and the only thing we regret is that there is apparently no room left for improvements in dra- matic attempts in the future by our schools, which, for the present, however, are to be congratulated upon their talent, and, what is more, upon their en- terprise in successfully producing on a small stage one of the most difficult of the Immortal Shakes- peare’s Plavs.” -------♦ «.-------- Gwcndolvn.—“Charlie, what do you call a sportv tie?” Charlie.—“When a prize fighter marries an actress.”—Life. SOMKKVIMJC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 163 GENERAL JOSEPH WARREN. Helen M. Waldron, E„ '00. ORE than a century ago our country lost one of the bravest and most loyal of those who fought for liberty. In the battle of Bunker Hill fell the first general of the Revolution—Joseph Warren—at that time the most promi- nent citizen and soldier in New England. When he fell, liberty wept. He closed a life of glory in a glorious death, and heaven never received the spirit of a purer patriot.” The Warrens were descendants of a Norman baron. In 1(559, on the town records of Boston, appears the name of Peter Warren, the great- grandfather of the general. I11 a house on what is now Warren Street, Roxbury, Joseph was born, |unc 11. 1711. The present stone building on that site bears the inscription: On this sjM)t stood the house erected in IT‘20 by Joseph Warren, of Boston, remarkable for being the birthplace of General Joseph Warren, his grandson, who was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill. June 17, 1 75.” lie was one of the four sons of Joseph, a farmer who was highly esteemed and respected, having held several municipal offices, and Mary (Stevens), a woman of fine mind and lovely disposition. When Joseph, junior, was fourteen years of age, his father was killed by falling from a ladder, leaving his sons to seek their own fame and fortunes. In this same year Joseph entered Harvard College. He was highly distinguished as a student, and had a part assigned him at graduation. An anecdote is related showing his fearlessness. Several of his college friends had assembled in a room, and, for frolic only, decided that Warren should not enter; accordingly, they barred the door securely. Warren observed the window of the room was open, and that a spout ran near by, from the roof to the ground, l ie went to the top of the house, slid down on the spout to the window, and threw himself into the room. At this instant the spout fell, when he quietly remarked it had served his purpose. I le then entered into the sports with his classmates. At nineteen he was appointed master of the grammar school in Roxbury, where he re- mained about a year, lie spent some time in com- posing poetry, and won a premium that was offered for the best poem on the death of George II. and the accession of George III. Warren now studied medicine with Dr. James Lloyd, and in a few years acquired an extensive practice for himself. Many of his patients were among the highest circles in so- ciety. such as lohn Adams and family, yet he was especially attentive to the poor. In appearance he was unusually neat, and had a graceful figure of medium size, but not remarkably tall. He was frank and genial, with a warm and tender heart and an every-ready helping hand, which were always accompanied with elegant manners. This type of American manhood has been drawn : Amiable, accomplished, prudent, en- ergetic. eloquent, brave, he united the graces of manly beautv to a lion heart, a sound mind, a safe judgment, and a firmness of purpose which nothing could shake. He possessed a clear under- standing. a strong mind, a disposition humane and generous, with manners easy, affable, and engag- ing. but zealous, active, and sanguine in the cause of his oppressed country. He was a powerful orator, because he was a true man and struggled for man's highest rights: a patriot, in whom the Hush of youth and the grace and dignity of manhood were combined, stood armed in the sanctuary of God to animate and encourage the sons of liberty, and to hurl defiance at their oppressors.” I11 17(51 he married Elizabeth liooton. A gentle, sensitive nature, good sense, and accom- plishments of a high order, formed a character worthv to share his fortunes. I11 1773 she died, leaving four children. Joseph Warren's first identification with political affairs was his connection with the press. He be- gan to contribute to the journals in the time of the Stamp Act. and he continued to write for them until the close of his life. He was a sharp, clear, pithy writer, saying much in a few words. The following are a few illustrations: The mistress we court is liberty, and it is better to die than not to obtain her. We eye the hand of 1 leaven in the wonder- ful union of the colonics.” “America must and will SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 164 he free; the contest may be severe, the end will be glorious. His first appearance in public was on the occasion of the second anniversary of the Bos- ton massacre, March 5, 1772, when he delivered the address with great ability. Three years later he de- livered a similar address. At that time the feeling between the British and the citizens had risen to a greater height. The Old South church was ob- tained for the meeting, and it was indeed crowded before the orator appeared. To avoid pressing through the crowd, W arren went to the rear of the building and by a ladder entered through the window back of the pulpit. Some of the words uttered on the next com- memoration of this day after his death indicate the sympathy that existed between the speaker and the audience: “We mourn thine exit, illustrious shade, with undisscmblcd grief; we venerate thine exalted character: we will erect a monument to thy mem- ory in each of our grateful hearts, and to the latest ages will teach our tender infants to lisp the name of Warren with veneration and applause.” He was made a member in 1772 of the Commit- tee of Correspondence, formed for the purpose of communication with the different towns of Massa- chusetts. Later he was a delegate to the conven- tion of Suffolk county, which met to prevent Gov- ernor Gage from carrying out his determination of fortifying the southern entrance of Boston. He was made chairman of the committee appointed to prepare an address to the governor upon the sub- ject, and sent to him two papers, both written by himself, which were afterwards sent to the conti- nental congress. I11 the autumn of 1771 lie was elected a delegate to the Massachusetts congress, oi which he was made president, and also chairman of the committee of public safety, consisting of thir- teen members of the congress, to whom the execu- tive power was given. By the fact of holding these two offices he became the virtual head of the new commonwealth. The successful result of the Battle of Lexington was, in a large measure, due to Warren, who sent Paul Revere and Dawes on their midnight ride. ( 11 the return of the troops to West Cambridge, Warren was in a skirmish there, when a bullet passed so near his head that it took a lock of his liair. I )r. Warren was appointed major-general on the fourteenth of June, 1775. The night previous to the battle Warren spent at Watertown, where the provincial congress held its sessions. His friend. Elbridge Gerry, tried to in- duce him not to expose his life, but he replied: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.” The fol- lowing morning he was suffering from a nervous headache, and threw himself upon a bed; when lie heard of the trouble at Charlestown, he rose, de- claring his headache was gone, and started for the scene of action. The general went mounted to Bunker Hill, where he saw the whole situation. Then he passed to the rail fence on foot, where he met General Putnam, who offered to receive orders from him. Warren replied: I am here only as a volunteer. I know nothing of your dispositions ; nor will I interfere with them. Tell me where 1 can be most useful.” Putnam pointed to the re- doubt, saying: There you will be covered. Warren returned: Don’t think I seek a place 01 safety, but tell me where the onset will be most furious.” Again Putnam named the redoubt; thus Warren went to Breed’s Hill and into the redoubt. Here Colonel Prescott asked the general if he had any orders to give. The reply was: I shall take no command here. I have not yet received my commission. 1 came as a volunteer with my musket, to serve under you, and shall be happy to learn from a soldier of your experience.” The battle began shortly after he arrived, where he fought, regardless of himself, animating and en- couraging his countrymen by his presence. The British were compelled to fall back twice. On the third advance the ammunition of the Provincials had failed, and the redoubt was taken. Warren was among the last to leave. When about sixty- yards from the redoubt, he was recognized by a British officer, who took a musket from a soldier and shot him in the back of the head, killing him instantlv. General Howe remarked that the death of General Warren was a full offset for the loss of 500 men. Samuel Adams, a lifelong friend, wrote: The death of our truly amiable and worthy friend, I r. Warren, is greatly afflicting. The language 01 friendship is, How shall we resign him? But it is our duty to submit to the dispensations of Heaven, ‘whose ways are ever gracious, ever just.’ ” General Warren was first buried on the spot where he fell, then, under the solemn ceremonies oi the Eree Masons, of which fraternity he was grand master throughout North America, the body was placed in the Granary burying ground. Later the remains were moved to a family tomb under St. Paul’s church, and finally they were buried in Forest Hills cemetery. I11 1825, at the laying of the corner-stone of Bunker Hill monument, when Lafayette was pres- ent. as well as 200 veterans of the Revolution and forty survivors of the battle, Daniel Webster paid the following tribute to Warren :— But ah! Him! the first great martyr in this great cause! Him! the premature victim of his own self-devoting heart! Him! the head of our civil councils, and the destined leader of our mili- tary bands, whom nothing brought hither but the unquenchable fire of his own spirit! Him! cut off bv Providence in the hour of overwhelming anxiety and thick gloom; falling ere he saw the star of his country rise: pouring out his generous blood like water before he knew whether it would fertilize a land of freedom or of bondage! How shall I struggle with the emotions that stifle the utterance of thy name! Our |x or work may perish, but thine shall endure! This monument may moulder away: the solid ground it rests upon may sink down to the level with the sea. but thy memory shall not fail! Wheresoever among men a heart shall be found that beats to the transports of patriotism and liberty, its aspirations shall be to claim kindred with thy spirit!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. � 65 FISHING AND NATURE. Chester H. Breton, L., 'OJ. surclv as conu‘s the spring, when the 'arm showers of April swell the buds and awaken the Mowers.—no. before, when the driving March rains, beating on the roof, bring dreams of roaring cascades, of broiling rapids and tumb- ling brooks, just so surely, to every true angler, comes the longing for the great, free woods, for the odor of moss and «lamp earth, for the voice of hid- den water calling to him from among the leaves. How lovinglv lie fondles the worn fly-book. whose contents furnish countless reminiscences, the mem- ory of many a happy day. How tenderly he caresses his favorite rod. how carefully tests each familiar leader, and with what eagerness marks on his calendar the «lavs which must pass before he may again revisit enchanted spots and haunts which to him are sacred. And st . now that summer at last is here, ere this mild frenzy, this angler's fever utterly consumes 11s. let 11s go a-fishing. vou and I. We tnav start before sunrise, when everything is gray ami glooim. We may rush up the brook at a breakneck pace, scrambling over rocks and tearing through underbrush, each striving to be the first to reach the most promising ]mm 1s and eddies. You may be indignant because I. accidentally, splash into the pool that vou are fishing. 1 may deem it a righteous cause for complaint that you. in vour eagerness to anticipate me at the next pool, have un- wittingly “crossed lines.” resulting in a hopeless tangle. You mav feel chagrin because I have landed a larger trout: 1 may be angry that you have succeede l where I failed. As we go on in our blind haste, there will be many fall s on the slippery houhlers. many deten- tions. many sudden plunges into ice-eohl water, and steadily and surclv our tempers will rise till we are at odds with ourselves, with each other, the brook, the fish, with everything, and at night we return, cross, tired, and hungry, you, perhaps, with a half- hearted triumph. I tortured with envy, since your creel is heavier than mine. Rather a dubious out- line for a «lay of pleasure, you say. and yet it is a imxle of fishing common to many. Rut to-«lav. suppose we trv another method, and. when the golden mists are rising from the moun- tains. when the valley is purple and hazy, we stroll along an old unused road, with r«i«ls anti creels as our companions. It is a lonelv spot, this old road, with its double file of matted grass featherv with «lew. its borders of rank milkweed and tangled blackberry vine, whose dripping branches, arched across our path, seem, like arms outstretched and grasping, to hold us back and prevent our entering those enchante«l regions that lie bevond. On anti on winds this road, past tumbledown houses, blackened by age and storm, with sagging roofs and tottering chim- neys. past tuouldv skeletons of barns, a graveyard choked with brakes and brambles, a dilapidate� ! church, grim memorials, these, upon which one may read a thousand epitaphs. These ruined dwell- ings arc the remains of a village which was once prosperous and happy, now forsaken and for- gotten. A flood of sunlight |H urs across the valley; the voices of birds rise in full crescendo; finches, thrushes, and warblers, their tiny throats throbbing with melody, challenge each other to a test of vocal skill. The o«lor of berries, of drying ferns and grasses comes t us on the morning air; we near the woods, and this gives place to the spicy frag- rance of the pines, the aroma of the balsams, the fresh perfume of moss and lichen. The pastures are growing bushv now. and our way is not so easy to follow Shoots of birch, of beech, of maple. a«l- vancc year by ear farther and farther into the fields. The old forest is sending out these, his eager. tmtric ! legions, to reclaim the land so long ago wrested from him. Here, at our feet, in the mud ma«le b last night's rain, are dainty hoof- prints whose makers never felt the yoke, never knew the torture of passing the cool, sweet night in stuffy barns. Even as we have been climbing this hill, two heads mav have cautiously peered from that clump of pines voiuler. two heads, the one with branching horns, carried proudly, with eye of fire and panting, quivering nostrils, the other, smaller, with nervous, twitching ears and soft, brown eyes full of wonderment and pleading, may have watched us until some exclamation or sudden movement on our part caused them to retreat up the mountain as swift and noiseless as the shadows. cry still arc the great woods as we enter, very still ami verv solemn, and one feels as if walking in a great church or grand cathedral. Hushed with awe ami reverence, we tiptoe through the broad aisles, over the mottled carpet of dead leaves, a car- pet embroidered with the delicate lace-work of the ground pine ami the crimson beads of the partridge berrv. Here and there under the trees are the pal- lid Indian-pipes. those ghosts of departed flowers, who. hanishe«l from the Mowers' Eden because of sins committed here on earth, rise wearily from restless graves. And now. as we proceed, a sound, scarcely audi- ble at first, but growing louder, louder, forces itself upon us in a wav so mysterious that at last it seems almost a part of ourselves. It is the sound that is dearest 0 the angler's heart, the voice of his love calling his name ami Imlding him hasten to her side. We quicken our steps, we plunge through the underbrush, and the rushing, tumbling brook lies before us. How different is the sound now! We close oui SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 166 eyes, we hear confused, far-off rumbling, a mut- tering, a murmur, a shout, the cries of strong men. of men angry and enraged, the clamor of a mob, of an infuriated rabble, groaning, hissing, roaring, howling, hurling forth oaths and curses; and above all this tumult sounds a voice, a single voice deep and commanding, and straight the howl- ing changes to shouting, the shouting sinks to a murmuring, the murmuring becomes a muttering, and the great mob is silent, listening to the words of the majestic speaker. Soft and low is the sound of the brook now. A gentle maiden she. who greets us with tender sighs, and in sweetest tones bids us welcome. No. she is an elusive coquette, whose silvery voice deludes us. and whose mocking laugh echoes back as she slips awav among the trees. Stern and defiant is the water, as in tones of thunder it commands us to beware, and not to ven- ture an unhallowed foot within the sacred precincts which it guards. A hundred bells seem ringing in our ears, the sheep bells tinkling in the twilight, the laughing peal of chimes from some gray tower, the jaygle of discordant sleigh bells, the deep-toned knell, the far-off blare of trumpets, a mighty organ, melodious voices raised in chorus; all of these sound to us like some rare old symphony, not pleas- ing when each is heard alone, perhaps, but which, when joined and blended by the great musician. Nature, form one grand and perfect harmony. Such are the voices of the brook. And now for the fish. Never mind your fly- book. for to-dav we will try our skill at bait-fishing. Hut. vou saw is not this a rather coarse and clumsy mode, and a bit unworthy of the true angler? Why. any bare-legged urchin, with willow pole and piece of colored string for line, could do as much ! No. for. granted that it is ruder than the delicate art of fly-fishing, it is none the less an art. He who would, be a skillful bait-fisherman must have a far more minute knowledge of the trout, their haunts and hiding-places, their habits, their moods, than his brother-angler who casts the fly. Now let vour line be carried gently down to that strip of bright, flashing water. No fish there, evi- dentlv, for everv stick, and stone, and pebble on the sandy bottom is as clearly visible as in a glass, ami the place is as emptv of trout, seemingly, as arc our fishing baskets. Hut before your line is gone half way. there is a rush, a tug. your reel sings merrily, and ere long vou have a noble trout, dripping, gasp- ing. on the green moss. And look, while you were battling with him. 1 have taken another from this snug corner between two slaty rocks, mine black as was the hiding place in which I found him. yours golden as the sands over which lie watched for food. We pause a moment to kill our fish and pack them carefully in our creels, amid cool, sweet ferns, and then proceed up the brook. Yonder is a huge boulder over which the water, high above our heads, rushes in a mighty cascade, arched with drip- ping boughs of alder, a snowy cascade through which countless rainbows cross and recross and ceaseless lightnings play. On it comes in great rolling swells like the coils of a huge serpent, and plunges down, far down, into the emerald depths of tlie |mm)1 below. This pool must be an ideal spot for trout. Let us hurry on ! TROUT PISHING. I'holo Krtt Co. And no doubt the same thought has come to every angler who has passed this way in the last three weeks, when, on reaching this bend in the brook, he has seen the towering waterfall. So. just SOMKRYIUJ.V HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. by way of experiment, suppose we fish thoroughly the stretch of dancing water between us and the pool. Possibly it may prove more profitable. For instance, here on the white sand in tins little pool beneath these trailing grasses are a halt a dozen brown, spiderv trout, not monsters, to be sure, but lively and as full of fight as little gamecocks. W’e take another from beneath this pile of driftwood around which white foam circles, and from under this sunken log come two lustv fellows, with bril- liant orange tins; another and another, while a third slips from our hook to the bank, and we ar- rive iust in time to see him wriggle into the water, and he is gone, a zigzag streak of black scurrying among the rocks. Yes. it would have been better for our brother-anglers had they not been so eager to reach the waterfall. And now we come to the great pool, but though we cast again and again, not a rise do we get. What, can there be no fish here, after all our expec- tations! We peer anxiously down through the green water as if we could hope to scan that mys- terious bottom, which, in the deceptive light, seems to move, to rise, to sink, and the pool seems now a shallow basin, now an unfathomable abyss. There, under the shelving ledge, at our very feet, lies a monster trout, a patriarch of bis tribe. His olive back is marked with black, sinister lines, the red spots on his sides glow and burn, a hard, cruel light gleams from the glassy eyes, and lazily he lolls there, swelling his gills of crimson, and fanning with his purple fins. With bated breath and loudlv-beating hearts we cast again, we let our line down with the current, we draw it back against the current, we cross and double, and trv in everv way to tempt him from his hiding-place, but still he remains motionless; till suddenlv he turns, and. with a contemptuous llirt of bis tail, he dives far down, and we see him no more. And so we continue on our way. taking a trout here and there, talking, joking, with a few mishaps, it is true, for vou have had a hard tumble on the rocks, and I a thorough ducking, but these are trivial matters, and we must in no way let them spoil our tempers or mar our pleasure. The min- utes go bv like seconds, and the hours fly like minutes. This, indeed, is the only fault of our method of troutitig. Here is a pool of almost stagnant water. Hectics skate on its smooth surface, and swarms of little gnats dance over it. )n the coarse, gravelly bottom pieces of brown driftwood, water-logged, are scat- tered. and near the roots of a sunken tree trunk are a dozen trout, basking in the warm sunshine. W’e must fish carefullv here, for in still water trout are verv sh and timid. We cast over to the opposite bank, and then draw our line gently toward us until it slips softlv down into the water so that it may seem like some hapless insect that has ventured out too far on the overhanging grasses. Hut no sooner does it strike the surface than there is a rushing and a scrambling, and lo! everv trout is snugly buried amid the sticks and dead leaves at the foot of the old tree trunk. 167 We have tramped a long way since morning, so let us rest here a while upon the bank. A red squirrel on a rock near i� y clamors at our intrusion, accompanying his chiding with emphatic jerks of his tail. A petulant scold is the red squirrel, and an arrogant, swaggering braggart, as well. We throw a piece of bark at him. and he darts up a neighbor- ing beech, looking down at us first from one side, then the other, half angry, half afraid. As we lie on the cool moss and watch the clouds in the dreamv skv. who could be happier than we. no troubles, no sorrows, no cares, nothing to vex or annoy us? We are living a new life, and our old life is forgotten. We are as much a part of these woods as the wild creatures that inhabit them. The trees, the brooks, the sun. the sky. all are made for us and seem to be our verv own. The trees receive us gladly within their grateful shade, the brooks sing to us. the sun kisses us. the sky smiles upon us. Thcv love us and we love them. We may roam the mountains like the bear, we may lie amid cool thickets like the deer, we may dream idly in the warm sunshine, we mav sleep under cover of the sweet grasses. All the dwellers in the forest will know and welcome us; for they are our friends. Thus we dream as we lie on the cool moss. The sun has sunk behind the trees now. and the woods are growing duskv. We retrace our steps, stopping now and then to pay our respects to some trout who was loo busv to give us his attention at our earlier call, and at last we reach the old road. The deserted village comes in sight, with its spectral barns and their long, purple shadows. How differ- ent when the lofts were filled with hay. and in the sheds were heaps of yellow corn and piles of crim- son apples! The grass is tossed and tangled by the wind now. and trampled by the summer showers; and at night, from the forest, come the deer in the still moonlight to munch the apples lying as thcv fell. And who shall sav that our fishing has not been more profitable than that of the man who follows the first method, not in number of fish, perhaps, but we have gained something, in comparison to which all his fish are as mere nothing: we have brought back with us golden memories which will remain to delight us for tnanv a day.

The girls scamp- ered for position and there was an excited stir in the gallery. Then all was silence. The jumping cen- tres were on the alert. Again the whistle. The ball was tossed and all was a confusion of Black and Red. An O. B. girl tried for the basket and failed, followed by Oh’s and “Ah’s from the audience, 'flic ball was tossed toward the other side, and in the scramble the little girl in the centre tripped on her orange sash and sat on the line. Foul! shouted the linesmen, and an R. girl tried for the goal, 'flic ball struck between the post and the basket amid shrieks of laughter from the audience. The players entered with a new zest. An R. girl made a basket. There was a burst of applause and the audience cheered excitedly. The R.’s continued to gain ’mid wild and deafening applause. The little girl in the centre began to play recklessly, and the O. B. girl with the dark hair continued to mutter wicked little exclamations. Some way or other, just at that time, she found the ball in her hands. She took a good aim. The whistle fairly shrieked. It was the end of the first half. She dropped the ball indifferently and stopped up her ears from the clapping, and cheering, and scream- ing from the R.’s in the audience, who waved their llags and ribbons triumphantly. The players re- tired to rest. The R.’s ran about hugging each other, and the (). B.’s moved away gloomily and angrily. That old Florence Denham is a cheat, or she wouldn’t have made so many baskets.” And the speaker tugged at her orange sash and went off in the corner to have a good cry. Oh, don’t take it so to heart. said the dark- haired girl, following her. We have another half to beat in.” But the score is 10-0.” she sobbed. Suddenly they became aware that there was a commotion in the room. Kathy, all breathless, with her brown curls disheveled and her eyes shin- ing. rushed in. wildly waving her hat in one hand and a pair of sneakers in the other. Here I am at last. Let’s cheer.” For vour arrival? No. you goose: for the O. B. But the score is 10-0 against us! Oh, that’s nothing! Let’s cheer! But I thought you were not coming. So I wasn’t, but what if she did say I was not to play at a public game. She had no more than popped her head out of the door to go calling than 1 made a dash for the gvm. Now we won’t beat anyway. said the little orange girl through her tears. Because I didn’t mind my mamma. laughed Kathy. Win? Of course we will win. I bet Dick a sofa pillow to a bunch of violets that we would. Of course we will win. Oh. is your brother here? asked one of the girls, becoming interested. Yes. he cut two recitations for it. When i came in lie was up there in the gallery waving Florence Denham’s old red Mag for dear life.” The girls laughed. ( h. he is in a betting mood. she said, stooping to tie her shoestring. If any of you girls”— The whistle announced the second half. The R.’s entered amid triumphant cheers from the audience. Let’s cheer for ourselves, cried Kathy, and their lusty Don’t you worry, don’t you fret. Orange and Black will get there vet. was followed by an amused and animated applause in the audience. Kathy glanced up in the gallery and met the laughing and triumphant gaze of her brother. She turned away and rolled up her sleeves with determination. ()ne of the R. girls turned ex- citedly to Florence Denham. There is Dick’s sister. she explained, excitedly. “Well, what of that? asked Miss Denham. Nothing, only we’ll have to work hard, as they say she is a crack player.” The game was entered into with redoubled inter- est. both by the players and spectators. Florence Denham made a basket immediately, and the audi- ence went wild, and Dick shouted at the top of his lungs and waved his red Mag frantically. Kathy glared at her opponent, and then riveted her eyes on tlie ball. The next instant she had it in the basket, and the roar that went up from the gallery far ex- ceeded any cheering that had been done that day. She continued to make basket after basket, and the score was nearly even. The dark-haired girl made a goal, and the audience were fairly beside them- selves with excitement. A youth in the gallery snatched the red ribbon from his buttonhole and began to change his bets. The R.’s made another SOMKRVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 169 goal. The poor youth was distracted and began to hunt for his ribbon. Kathy ground her teeth. She made a dive for the. ball, her guard pulled her back by the hair, and the ball came with terrific force in her eve. Nevertheless, she clutched it and threw wildly. It did not reach the basket. The audience were leaning forward with bated breath. Nothing could be heard but the thud, thud of the girls’ feet as they ran and jumped for the ball. Kathv could hardly see through the scalding tears in her eves, but she tried for the basket and won it. The score was even. The audience forgot to cheer. 1 )iok became interested in his sister. Oh. if I could make one more. she thought. The room swam around, the basket seemed miles high, and 0I1! the ball weighed a ton, but drawing in her breath, she made one desperate effort and threw it. The whistle shrieked painfully. Dick snatched a yellow flag from some one and started a cheer which shook the very building. It seemed as if the wild applause and deafening cheers would raise the roof. Orange and black flags waved wildlv about in the gallery, and beneath orange and black girls ran around like mad. Dick dashed down from the gallery to his sister. She was in the midst of a group of girls trying to cheer with the rest. He rushed up to her excitedly. ‘‘You’re all right. Ciss: you shall have a dozen bunches of violets. Florence Denham eyed him scowlingly. and vowed darkly to cut him in the future. A girl with a long, black braid ran up to a little girl and pulled her around the room by her orange sash. “What did 1 tell you.” she shouted, trium- phantly. Hurrah for the Orange and Black!” TOLD AT THE VILLAGE STORE. cAustin Works, L., ’01. LL this talk ’bout doin’ away with the old Scbago tunnel,” remarked the genial Si Plunkett, as he dipped one hand into the raisin box, reminds me of a mighty good turn thet the old hole once did fer me. Do any of yew rekerlect young Tom Hobbs, the squire’s son, him that desarted an' wuz shot 'long the fust part of the war?” Old Deacon Smith nodded affirmatively. lie wuz a ruthcr wild chap, warn’t he, though?” he asked musinglv. “Wild cz a colt. said Si. “I never see a wilder. They dew sav he broke the old man all up with his doin's.” I don't doubt it any, said the deacon, drawing the soap lx x. upon which he was seated, a trifle nearer the stove. “Wuz yer goin’ ter tell ’lx ut thet boss race vew an’ Tom hed, Si?” he added ques- tioning! v. Yep.” replied Si; that is. purvided yew folks want ter hear ’bout it.” A glance about him proved reassuring, and he began :— “Wall, it wuz this way. Tom an’ me never could git along tergether. nohow. I thought Tom wuz stuck up—an he wuz. tew—an Tom thought I wuz 'bout the hatefullest. ornaricst critter this side cr Kingdom Come. When we two wuz little, we wuz allers quarrelin'. an’ we would ha’ been fightin , only thet warn’t Tom's style. He never fought no one his size; it wuz agin his principles. An’ arter we got older, we kept on hatin’ each other jest the same. Bime bye, though. Tom went off ter college, an’ I commenced ter spark up ter Huldv Huzzy—thet’s ma now, yer know—an’ 1 kind er forgot thar wuz any such pusson cz Tom Hobbs. I luldy wuz a beauty in them days, now I tell yer; thar warn’t no prettier gal in these parts.” ’Ccptin Sally Goodwin, ' the deacon broke in. ‘ ’Ccptin’ Sally Nobody! cried Si scornfully. “Whv. Sallv Goodwin warn’t nowheres nigh so good lookin’ ez Huldv, an’ I don’t kcer cf Sally is vour wife. Ezrv Smith. Huldy hed blue eyes an’ long, yaller hair—a darn sight longer’n Sally’s, tew! —an' her waist warn’t much bigger’n my little finger. Why. Ezry Smith, I guess yer losin’ yer mem’ry, thet’s what I guess!” An’ I guess yew must be goin' crazy, thet’s what I guess! returned the deacon wrathfully. “Huldy wuz a mighty pretty gal. I’ll admit, but---- “Let it go at thet! Let it go at thet! exclaimed Sam Tuttle, the storekeeper, in soothing tones. “I’ve heard dad tell 'bout Huldv an' Sally both, an’ he seined ter think thar warn’t no great diff’rancc between ’em. Wall, I'll let it go at thet. said Si generously, because I know thet the deacon’s old an can't rekerlect things ez well cz he could once.” The deacon muttered something to the effect that he warn’t no older’n Si Plunkett, not by a jugful!” but did not attempt to cut again the thread of Silas' discourse, which the latter had now picked up. Wall. continued Si. I luldy lived with her folks on the old Huzzy place, right thar near the north end of the Sebago tunnel, in thet old house whar Bill Johnson lives now. Yew know the place, don’t yer. jest at the foot of Ball mountain? Kvervbodv nodded affirmatively, and Mr. Plun- kett continued his narrative. Wall. I used ter drive over quite frequent behind inv little black mare Nell. It wuz ’bout eight mile from Podderwunkville. 1 should say. an’ three mile of it straight over Ball mountain, but Nell wuz good fer it. an it never took us long. She wuz a 170 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. mighty fast traveler, thet little black mare of mine, war n’t she, Ezry?” The deacon slowly raised his head, hemmed once or twice, and remarked at length that lie pre- sumed so.” Yew know so, Ezry, Si corrected him, yew know so. Wall, ez I sed, I used ter drive over quite frequent, ’specially in winter, when the sleighin’ wuz cnyways good. It wuz a pretty ride, tew. Arter leavin' the village here, yer follered the main road out past Ezry’s place an’ the Ilacketts, or else switched off ter the left an took the road past Timothv Green's saw mill; thar warn't much dill’rancc in the two ez fur ez distance wuz con- carncd. Arter goin’ three mile on the main road, yer swung outer the old Hoosacville turnpike, an follered thet 'bout two mile more, an’ thet fetched yet ter the foot of the road over Ball mountain. Then ’twuz a mile ’n a half up an’ a mile ’ll a half down over the roughest, narrerest road I ever sec, an’ thet brought ver ter Huzzy’s place. Of course it wuz a long ride, but, gosh all hem- lock! 1 never minded thet. fer Huldy wuz at the end of it. Wall, things wuz goin’ fine, an’ I wuz gittin' braced up ter pop the question, when, who should show up in tile village but Tom Hobbs! His health wouldn't permit him ter continue his studies, lie scd. but I'll bet fifteen cents it warn't his health thet wuz permittin’ him or not permittin’ him ! Eny rate, thar lie wuz, big ez life, more stuck up than ever, chipper ez a bird; an’, what’s more, he'd brought home a boss, a ban’some gray geldin' named Firefly, thet he’d brought down ter the city, an’ thet he cal’lated warn't ter be beat by any critter in these parts. Thet didn’t bother me, though, long’s he minded his own business. But folks kept naggin’ me ter challenge him. challenge him tew a boss race. Thet wuz all 1 heard fer months. 1 never paid no attention tew ’em, though. Bime bye, it begun ter be said thet Tom wuz sparkin' up ter the gals in great style. Fust he hung 'round Susy Grey, an' then Mary Smith an' Alice Jones, an’ finally Sally Goodwin. He kum nigh doin' fer Ezry thar. hey. Ezry? Ha! ha! ha!” No nigher'n he come ter doin' fer yew, Silas Plunkett! replied the deacon hotly. Mr. Flunket became sober at once. Thct’s so.” he said. I wuz jest coinin’ ter thet. Yer see, Tom lied money, the rest of us didn't an'—wall, we all know what a queer thing human natur is. Now thar wuz Ezry, lie didn’t hev no money ter speak of. but thar warn’t a better lookin', smarter appearin’ chap in the hull village. What did thet amount tew? lest thet!” said Mr. Plunkett, snap- ping his fingers. Why. he come so nigh losin' Sally ter that voting snob thet thar warn’t two cents’ wuth of fun in it. But thar---- Si. remarked the deacon suddenly, I say. Si! W'liat is it. Ezry?” asked Silas. I been thinkin’ it over. Si. an’ I don't know but what Huldv wuz jest ez pretty ez Sally, arter all. Thanks dreffullv. Mr. Smith! remarked Silas with deep scorn. Ez I scd afore. Tom lied con- sid’rable ter do with most ev’ry gal in Podderwunk- ville, an’ pretty soon folks begun ter say thet he wuz goin’ outside of town in sarch of new game. Two or three times ev’ry fortnight he’d hitch his gray geldin' inter his best red sleigh, an’ drive oIY down tlie main road toward Ball mountain. Thet struck me ez kind er funny, an' the more I thought it over, the odder it seemed. He’d allers go nights when 1 warn’t expected over ter Huzzy’s. 1 noticed thet, tew. One cv’nin' I seen him sailin’ past behind his fast horse, an' sez I ter myself, sez I, ‘Now, Si Plunkett, jest yew git inter yer best duds quicker’n greased lightnin'. an' hitch up thet black mare, an' go over ter sec Huldy. She ain’t expectin’ of yer. but then,’ sez I. none so welcome ez an unexpected guest, yew know.’ So 1 hustled inter my store clothes, hitched up Nell, an’ drove over ter Sebago ter Huzzv’s. Sure enough. I'd no niore’n got inside Huzzy's barn than I see Toni's red sleigh stan'in' in the mid- dle of the floor, an’ in a jiffy my young lord himself come stridin' out of the hoss-shed, lantern in hand, whistlin' ‘Annie Laurie’ ez merry ez yer please. When lie seen me. he wuz sort er took back. ‘Good ev’niiF, Mr. Hobbs.’ sez I. ruther cool, I suspect. ‘Good ev'nin’. Mr. Plunkett,’ sez he, jest ez cool. He didn't sav no more fer some time, but jest kept walkin' 'round an' 'round the black mare, an’ throwin’ the light of his lantern on her ez I on- hitclied. Finally he sez, sez he. Kind of er likely boss, ain’t she?’ ‘Uni!' sez I. 'think so?' ‘But I’ve got one thet kin beat her sez he. ‘Urn!’ sez 1. ‘think so?’ Thet wuz all we sed ‘till we went inter the house an’ Huldy asked us inter the best room. Wall, we went in an' sot down. Huldy she fidgeted eround a spell, an’ finally she sez, ‘I warn't lookin' fer yew ternight. Silas.’ ‘Warn’t yer?’ sez I. ‘I cal'lated not.’ Arter thet nobody scd nothin' fer a spell. Bime bye Tom ’lowed we'd hev a storm afore long. I scd 1 shouldn’t be 'tall surprised, pervided some one I knew of warn’t sort er keerful. Then Huldy sed she hoped the storm wouldn’t spoil the sleighin', an' I sed 1 reckoned thar'd be a little slavin' some folks wouldn't like, an' I knew who’d git slaved, tew! Thet sort er put a damper on the conversation fer a while. Afore long, though. Tom spoke up an’ sez, sez he, ’Be yew goin' ter the dance over ter Hoosacville Saturday night, Huldy?' ‘1 dunno sez Huldy, ‘be yew?' ‘Yes.’ sez Tom. ‘I reckon so. An' I'm goin’ ter drive over behind my gray geldin’ thet can’t be beat by any boss in these parts. Won’t yer come with me. Huldv?' Huldy didn't answer right off. an‘ I thought 1 seen suthin' in her eye thet told me ter go ahead an' ask the same question. So I braced myself an’ sez. sez I. T been cal'latin’ ter go ter thet dance mvsclf. an' I'm goin’ ter drive over behind my black mare thet can’t be beat by any boss in these parts. Won’t yer go 'long of me, Huldy?’ 'Pom looked riled, an’ Huldv she thought a spell. Finally she sez. sez she. I won’t promise neither one of yer. boys, but I’ll tell yer what I will do. Both vew fellers leave Podderwunkville tergether. vew, 'Pom, behind yer gray geldin’, an’ yew, Si, be- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 7� liiiul ycr black marc, an' the one thet gits here fust is the one thet takes me ter the dance at Hoosac- villc. How does thet suit yer? ‘Fust rate!’ sez Tom right off. an’ ‘Fust rate!’ sez 1 jest as quick. Arter that conversation lagged, an' we wuz mighty glad when the clock struck ten. an' we started ter go. though 1 could see thet Tom wuz rut her oneasy fer fear I'd do some of thet slavin' I'd spoke of. iiut 1 didn't. I walked out ter the barn, hitched up, an’ started fer home ez quiet ez a mouse. Tom wuz with me, but we separated ez soon ez we got out outer the road. I dropped back an’ let the gray geldin' set the pace. Tom held him down tew a jog, though, an’ thar warn’t no racin' thet ev'nin. We'd both made up our minds ter let the matter drop till the night of the dance, an' then settle it once ter all. ‘‘Wall. sir. the sleighin’ wuz fine thet Saturday. Bout four o’clock in the arternoon I went out ter the barn an’ currveombed an' brushed Nell. When I got through with her she wuz ez slick 'z a whistle, an’ handsome? Why, she wuz ez han'some ez any gal I ever see. 'ceptin' Huldy—an' Sally Goodwin, of course. I hitched her inter my best sleigh— 'twuz a bran new green one. all covered with paintin’s—an' drove ter the village. Somehow the news of the race lied got out, an’ thar wuz a big crowd in front of Dili Tuttle’s store waitin’ fer us—Dili Tuttle wuz Sam’s father, an’ he run this place afore Sam wuz born. Tom warn’t thar when I fust got thar. but I’d no more'n stepped out er the sleigh afore thet there Kzrv Smith siltin’ on thet soap box tryin’ ter steal dried apples, an' thinkin’ no one sees him. hollered out. ‘Here he comes! I looked up an’ sec that Ezry wuz right. (iosh all hemlock, warn’t he coinin', though! The snow wuz Ilyin’, the gray geldin’ hed his hed up high chawin’ awav at the bit. an’ the red sleigh wuz tearin’ 'long like an express train. Parson Jones tried ter look horrified. He’d come down, he sed, ter remonstrate with me ’n Tom. but a man with half an eve could see thet he wuz jest huggin’ him- self fer fear tlie race wouldn't come off. arter all. Dut ralelv. I think the old feller actually thought he didn't want us ter race. ‘ ’Tis a wicked shame ter run a poor dumb beast like thet,' sez he. an’ ez Tom slacked up, he come creepin' over ter me. ‘Silas.’ sez he in a whisper, ‘boss racin’ is a drefful sin. a drefful sin ! But, seein’s yew tew hot-headed youngsters is bound ter race, we must put up with it ez best we mav. An’ ef yew could contrive ter beat thet young ass thar.

Silas, 'thout money an’ 'thout price. ‘Pride goeth before a fall.' ez the good book sez, an' ‘The afflicted wilt Thou save, but Thine eyes are upon the haughty that Thou mayest bring them down.’ So it may be thet your little black mare, hevin’ a few good pints —thet is. I’ve heard ’em say she had—will come out ahead. Any rate. I'll pray fer yer, Silas.' sez he. an’ stole off ter find the best place ter sec the race from. Tom seemed ruther worried, somehow. He come over ter me, an' sez, sez he, ‘We'd better be goin' afore it gits rale dark, Silas, but I've a propo- sition ter make fust. In some places the road is rale narrer, an’ we might interfere, so it seems to me thet one of us ought ter take the side road out by Timothv Green's saw mill. One way's jest ez good ez the other. What do yew think. Silas?’ Wall, it struck me ez ruther a good idea, an' I sed so. 'Dut who’ll take the side road sez I, ‘yew or me?’ Tom fished a big. old-fashioned cent out of his pocket. ‘Heads, its yew : tails, it's me! sez he, an’ give the coin a fling. Heads.' sez lie. afore it hed fairly come down. 'Yew take the side road.' ‘All right.' sez 1. Kzrv started us. When ev'rything wuz ready, lie dropped his handkerchief, an' we lit out. Ez we went through the square. I see the parson tryin' to shin a lamppost. I dunno how he come out. but I ruther think he made it all right. “Wall, thet wuz a race! Neck ter neck, stride fer stride, Nell an’ the gray geldin’ scooted along. W’c wuz so close tergether thet I could ha’ reached over an' shook hands with Tom, only I'd a sight ruther shook his hull body. In a minute we swung out of the village an’ outer the main road. The big moon come out over the pines in Witham’s woods, an’ we wuz still bangin’ tergether. The little stars peeked out one arter another, an’ we still stuck side by side, ez ef we wuz glued thar. “Arter a while I seen an openin' on the left ov the road, an' slacked up jest a trifle, so’s ter turn off outer the side road, ez we’d agreed. Of course thet give Tom a little bit of a lead, but ez soon es I got clear of the bend. I whistled ter Nell, an' we com- menced ter crawl up inter place agin. Tom looked across the little stretch of meadow between the two roads an’ seen thet I wuz gainin’ on him. He took his whip an’ laid it outer the gray geldin' ez fast ez lie could raise his arm. But it didn’t do no good. Nell kept gainin', an' jest ez we come up even with him agin, the bankin’ an' the woods loomed up. an' fer a spell I didn't sec no more of Tom, the red sleigh, or the gray geldin'. Dut I knew they wuz thar, jest the same, an’ 1 kept the little mare doin’ her prettiest. The big moon wuz lookin’ down at me. the stars were twinklin', the woods wuz whisperin' away, the mare’s hoofs were drummin’ fast on the soft snow, an’ we wuz scootin’ ’long so quick thet every time I raised inv head over the dasher, the wind truck me jest like a lash. I’ll bet we wuz goin’ at a 2.26 clip. Ev'rvthing wuz so nice an’ grand thet I got ter thinkin’ 'bout Huldy. an' wonderin' ef she’d be glad ter see me when I got thar fust, an’ next thing I knew thar kuni a big scrapin’ an’ creakin', an' the sleigh most stopped. I looked 'round me. We wuz ’most in front of the sawmill, an fer nigh a quarter of a mile the wind, coinin' through the clearin’ round the mill, hed swept the road ez clear of snow ez this floor here. I wuz riled, but the only thing ter do wuz ter git out an' hoof it. But afore we got off thet bare spot we'd lost more time than I dared think of. I never found out fer sartain, but, jedgin’ from 172 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. sonic things. I guess Tom knew pretty well thet thet side road warn't in extry good condition. Wall, 1 got the mare goin’ good once more, but twine jest ez ! cal’latcd twould he. When we got clear of the woods, an the road begun ter bend toward the Three Corners, whar the main road, the road I wuz on. an’ the Hoosacville turnpike come tergether, I looked off ter the right en' see Tom nigh half a mile ahead up the turnpike. I did some rather quick thinkin'. Thar wuz bout three mile of turn-pike, an’ then come the road over Rail mountain. F.f 1 didn’t get ter thet road fust my goose wuz cooked, fer it wuz so rough an’ narrer thet 1 didn’t hcv no show of passin’ Tom. I took out the whip an' touched Nell with it. She laid back her ears, crouched close ter the ground, an’ fairly flew, l’.ime bye 1 sec we wuz gainin’ fast. Tom looked back an’ seen it, too. ()ut come his whip an’ slash ! The gray gcldin’ got it right ’round the face. Thet ’peared ter craze him. He rared vu . an’ then commenced ter back. The whip jumped once more. Xell wuz closin’ up last. 1 could see the pictur’ painted on the back ov Tom’s sleigh; it wuz a wolf's head, an’ his jaws wuz wide open ez cf he wuz snarlin’. Jest then the wolf sprung forward ; the old gray gcldin' wuz off agin! ■Rut we wuz close behind, an’ coinin’ closer ev’ry minute. Foot bv foot the little marc crept up. Afore long tliar warn’t two yards between Nell’s nose an’ the wolf’s head, in a few minutes tliar warn't but one! then a half! then a foot! then six inches! Jest ez I started ter jerk Nell over ter the right an pass the red sleigh I heard the wickedest veil! True ez 1 live. 1 thought ’twuz the wolf him- self at fust. I looked up an’ then I understood. The gray geldin’s nose wuz jest past the guide post at the Three Corners. Tom bed got ter the mountain road fust! I give the left rein a quick, mad yank, an’ Nell turned down the turnpike toward the railroad. We slacked up close ter the track. Nigh crazy with disappointment ez I wuz, I couldn’t help lookin' up the track, an’ tliar only a few rod away 1 see the black mouth of the Sebago tunnel. A wild thought hum inter my head. At the other end of thet tunnel wuz the Huzzy place; it would take Tom some time ter go over the mountain, an’— wall. 1 made up my mind ter plunge right through the dark, ugly lookin' hole. 'Thar may be a train due.’ sez I to myself. ‘ Ff tliar is, good bye. Si Plunkett; all fools ain't dead yet, but one of 'em stands a good show of bein’ so afore very long. I jumped out. took Nell by the bridle, an' fol- lerin’ the track, we started inter the old hole. The thought struck me ez we wuz goin’ in thet it warn’t such a bad grave, artcr all. It reminded me of a pictur in our old Bible whar a crowd of fellers is buryin’ Sarah in a sort of a cave, yer know. “Fer a few rod the goin’ warn’t very bad, but further on it begun ter git dark, an’ 'fore long yer couldn’t see yer hand afore yer face. Rut I could feel the sleepers under my feet, an' Nell an’ I stumbled on an' on. Once the mare got down, but she staggered tew her feet agin somehow an' we kept on. How long we wuz in tliar I'm sure I can't say. It seemed more like a year 'n enything else, but I cal’late 'twarn't more’ll twenty minutes, 'cause we come out long 'fore Tom showed up. Any rate, arter a spell it begun ter git lighter, a big round hole with the moonlight coinin' through it loomed up ahead, an' we come out inter the open air not twenty rod from the Huzzy place. An' thet's the only time I ever went through Sebago tunnel; thet is. afoot. I went through in the cars once artcr thet. an' it give me the cold shivers ter think of the fust time I wuz tliar. ’’Wall, ez I wuz drivin’ out of Huzzy's yard with Huldy beside me. up comes Tom an’ the gray gcldin . The look on Tom’s face when he seen me wuz funnier'n a circus. ‘Good ev’nin',’ sez I very polite. 'How air yer?’ W’h—why!’ sez he. I — I thought I left yew back t’other side Rail moun- tain!’ 'Did yer?’ sez 1 ; 'it must ha' been someone else. 'Fore yew got ter Rail mountain I wuz knockin’ at Lizc Huzzy’s back door. Thet gray gcldin' of vourn is no airthly use. Good night. Mr. Hobbs, pleasant dreams ter yer.' An’ he swallered it all. an’ thinkin' I'd beat him all holler, lie sold his fast boss ter Rill Tuttle fer twenty dollars.” Old Si laughed heartily. Then he seemed to be struck by an afterthought. An’ ez Huldy an’ I wuz drivin’ by thet tunnel on the way ter I loosacville, a train come rusliin’ out an’ Hew by us. W hat makes yer tremble so, Silas? sez Huldy. ‘Sutliin’ tew good ter keep,’ sez I. an’ up an' told the hull story. I luldy wuz mum a min- ute. an’ then she took out her handkerchief an' begun ter crv. 'Wli—what’s the matter. Huldy?' sez 1. 'sorrv I won ’stead of Tom?’ ‘No.’ sez she, 'I'm glad, an’—an’—wouldn't it ha’ been jest drefful cf vew'd been killed in thet tunnel!’ 'I'm!' sez I: ‘Think so?’ An’ somehow my arm got mixed-up with her waist, an—wall, the parson wuz good ez his word!” X'obodv spoke for some moments. Only the old clock behind the counter ticked away solemnly. At length Mr. Plunkett arose, buttoned his thread- bare coat tightly about his gaunt and somewhat bent frame, and passed out. As the door closed behind him the first notes of an old love song came floating back. Deacon Smith took up the tunc and hummed it softly to himself. SOM HR V ILLIC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 73 1901.

We should enjoy life very well if the Greek exams, were omitted. Contribution from our funny man: Why is the 1901 class editor like the first bird of spring? An- swer : Because it’s hard for him to raise a note. We have a medical man in our class. We advise all sufferers to consult Dr. Robert Spline. Doctor of Medicine and Graduate of Pharmacy. l)r. Spline's stock of medicine is unsurpassed by that of any doctor in the country. He has. moreover, been sojourning among the Kickapoo Indians, under the leadership of the famous chief. Man-not-afraid-of- the-Sky, alias Milner, and Sammy-chasc-thc- Papooses. alias Sam Bartlett, and has acquired a thorough knowledge of the virtues of all herbs. What a field for a novelist in search of a suitable name for a hero or heroine the printed list of our names would prove! Query : Did Miss Starkey shut her eyes when she fired the revolver? Whereas, in accordance with the divine will of God, our classmate. Blanche Paine, has been be- reaved of her father: and Whereas, the class of 1902 have learned with sor- row of her affliction: be it therefore Resolved, that we tender to her our sympathy in her affliction: and be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Miss Paine and printed in the High School Raptator.

Theramenes outdid all modern attempts at jug- gling; he swallowed the hemlock. Caesar seems to think he was doing his tenth legion a kindness when he made horses of them.

MacKenna.” MacKcnna (hard of hearing).— I didn't do it.” C bickering: Goldsmith thought he’d take a walk, and so he walked through France and Italy. We love to hear themes read aloud. Those of the second division were highly entertaining. Here are a few gems, the most precious, from the De Coverley Papers”:— He was ruined in the South sea by speculating. He grew sorrowful and never dressed afterward. Most of his life he lived in an attic part of his life. And drowned himself in (the Thames? No) in 1782. 74 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. What made Miss S--------start so guiltily when asked what (?) she was dreaming of? 1904. Miss Nichols seems to think the censors of early Rome were nothing more than horrid policemen. On R------’s programme algebra has been re- placed by its synonym, agony. A New Excuse. Yes. sir. I've done the example, but 1 don't think I can explain it.” I wonder why? Now that Winter has passed away, And the tidings of Spring come day by day, Now ere the birds flit on every tree, What are the thoughts of Division Three? Their thoughts are not turned to Summer so near. Which shall cause them to miss those studies so dear. For it's this division that's so fond of work. And not one in the class is e'er known to shirk.

If the class pins do not suit you in every minute detail, do not lav the fault to Miss Hallett. who has worked so faithfully in trying to suit the many minds of the class, and has. as must be realized, given up time for us which she could have occupied otherwise. She deserves the thanks of the whole class for her incessant labor. Once I tried to climb a ladder, and I found it very Kicker-tv, and. on examination, I found a piece of Cole under one end of it. 1 took out the Cole, and when the work was Dunne. I climbed to the first Story, and there I saw a man with a Boyle on his neck ringing a Bell, as if he were going to Holland, with a new patent pump. On a table was a button. I Preston the button and a Garland appeared. On the floor below was a man who had great Ritchie’s. and he earned them by making Rhoades in Denver. I n one corner of the room I saw a Vose piano, and the man with a Boyle was playing, while his Couscns sang Albe good.” On the wall hung a picture showing a woman crossing the Ford. The man with the Ritchie’s was counting Moore Nichols than he ought. (Two.) ------------------ Sigma Xi. The Sigma Xi Society gave a delightful party in honor of St. Patrick at the home of its secretary. Miss Alma Stone. The evening was passed with a shamrock hunt and many other appropriate games. After they had partaken of refreshments, Charlie Nichols took a successful flashlight photo- graph of the party, when the evening ended with much wit and laughter. The members of the Sigma Xi present were: Misses Edith Carleton. Alma Stone. Florence Plimpton, and Lucy Gow. Miss Robertson was unable to be present. Their guests were: Charlie” Nichols.

For purely savage love of barb'rous fare, The world has oped its book's receptive page And there records a theme with war-like care. Ah ! sturdy warriors of the Golden Age, What sang ye. in your battle hymn's wild air? Did then your courage gain, afresh, all strength. And hearts a temper that defied despair? 'Mid crash of shell and glitt'ring steel’s pale glow The god of war smiles fiercely, yea. and glad: 11 is star shines forth a promise, known of old To those who keep their lives in armor clad. God knows, He sees, He guards the right for aye, The triumph, too, the vict’ry is His power; The forces marshaled in the field of strife Salute the mighty issue of the hour. There, heaven-born grave music heads the hosts, Who surge and rush impulsed where it leads— A panacea to flagging steps, and force Incentive to the best—heroic deeds. And blessed thrice must be the reign of peace. That trophy, priceless, won by honest zeal; And rich and fullsome be the chords of song. That fill the swelling, knelling tongues that peal. And live ye now in harmony, brave sons! This is a nation welded from true steel. Let days be marked with acts that make a faith. Our country 'tis of thee. God bless its weal. --------------------------------- I think that hospital doctor would make a very good ward politician.” said the man who always has a new one to spring. Whv so? said his friend.

As vou stand on a corner waiting for a car, do not waste time—breathe oxygen. Quotation from Shakespeare: Patch is kind enough, but a huge feeder. —“Merchant of Venice.” Are the inhabitants of Dukes county aristocrats? After several attempts to select a class motto, the matter has apparently been dropped. The Merchant of Venice, as played by High School talent, was a great success. Miss Hyde stayed at home one day last month to count the class dues she had collected this year. We made graduates in the chemical lalx ratory. and did not find it much trouble. We wish our in- structors could make them as easily. We have been cautioned against whispering, passing notes, and making signs. There are only two things left to do—talk out loud or keep still. Miss Bacon, when asked to point out Bacon hall on the map. began by saying. “Aliam! Our music hour Wednesdays has been honored by many visitors of late. Xot only the neighboring cities of Boston. Brookline. Salem, etc., but the more remote Denver and Chicago have been repre- sented. The head master and the kindly visitor joined with instructor and class in laughing heartily over the amusing parodies read by division C—and some of those same parodies weren't half-bad poetry, either. 1902. G. Smith ought to gain flesh getting chalk from the side board. Teacher (to pupil who has been excused).— You can make up this work on the third period Friday. Miss B.— No'm! I'm—I'm engaged! Yeaton doesn’t like radicals in algebra. What will his opinions be as he grows older and sees more of politics? Poor Graccv has lost his entire fortune! He dropped a cent, and it rolled through a crack in the floor. Teacher.— Miss C-----. what can you say about Tennvson’s life? Miss C.— He made an exceptionally happy mar- riage, and died soon after! According to Miss C-----, happy marriages are extremely dangerous. According to Loring’s version of Latin, dudisum” doesn't fit in all places. He will sec 'wooiiv staring him in the face at the next rise! What a pleasant prospect! Ask Stone for his books. Also hire a detective to assist in the search for the desired articles.

Our class basket ball team arc certainly winners, having won a game from the Juniors of this school and from the Latin Sophomores. The credit is due to Miss Grady, the captain. Harry Collins, one of the many prominent mem- bers of our class, has left school. One of our history scholars thinks that the title always went to the oldest male son. A class baseball team is being formed. After winning the championship last year, we ought to again. 176 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 1904. Judging age bv size, how ol i would you take Allen to be? We congratulate Blaikie on the way lie took his part in the Merchant of Venice But the next time lie is paddling a gondola he should learn how to steer. Teacher in Algebra.— What example in par- ticular do you want explained, John?” John.— All of them.” Line 1273 in Evangeline” says: So fell the mists from her mind, and she saw the world far below her.” Division D wants to know how she can have mists on the mind unless she has1 water on the brain. First Pupil.'-- Yes. Frost has become quite popu- lar. His name has been uttered from the lips of cvervbodv in the class.” Second Pupil.— When was this?” First Ptip.il.— Why, the other day up in the music hall when we sang ‘Jack Frost.’ ” EXCHANGE NOTES y ,a 1OTTOF A Mother’s Sacrifice, in the Johnstown Spec- tator for March, is a very pathetic little tale, al- though the plot used is an old one. The editorials in the March Northampton Re- view are extremely well written. “A Modern Comer!v of Errors” is one of the most amusing sketches we have read lately, and displays no small amount of ingenuity on the part of the writer. The March Shamrock is unusually good; the editorials are deserving of special praise. A story or two would improve the Poston Eng- lish High School Record. LT.nvoi.” in the Dedham Bulletin for March, is one of the most cruel parodies we have ever read. If a travestv must be written, why choose as victim one of Kipling's most beautiful poems? The stories in the New I laven Radiator for March are not up to that publication’s usual stand- ard. “Into the Darkness.” a very “tragic tragedy,” which appears in the Owl, from Rockford. III., is begun in excellent style, but might have been worked up” more effectively at the climax. The Record, from Evansville, Ind., is one of the most progressive papers which we receive, “lie- tween Two Poles.” in the March issue, is a strik- ingly original tale, interestingly impossible. ----—l ------ X. Y. Z. Dance. Several members of the class of 1901. Latin School, have made arrangements to run a hurdy- gurdv partv at Professor Anthoinc’s academy April 18. It is to be a select party, run on the same basis as our other school dances have been, and we hope to duplicate the success of the English Junior and Senior receptions. Marie Grosse, the well-known hurdy-gurdy player and tambourine soloist, has been engaged to furnish music for dancing. The (loor will be in charge of Chester Holbrook Brown, with Messrs. C. Ashton R. Sanborn. S. Henry Wil- kins. Charles Allan Stackpolc, William Mercer, and John C. Haartz as aids. We assure everyone who comes an enjoyable evening, and leave it to you not to miss a good dance on an evening when all can conveniently come. Song of a Bachelor Dude.

Though but one point fell to Somerville’s share in the events, this was partially atoned for by the relay team. None of the Boston schools cared to measure them- selves against this four, so Friend School, of Provi- dence, was imported. Friend School drew the pole, but lost this advantage on the first corner. On the second relay Cummings added a few yards to Som- erville's lead, and Story and Jennings widened the gap to about thirty yards at the finish. The time was three minutes, seventeen seconds, which broke the record for schoolboy teams. Somerville’s one point was third in the forty yards by F.aton. Keyes and Smith in the 300 yards and McLaughlin in the 000 yards ran well in their heats. In the 1.000 yards Noble finished among the leaders, but just outside of a place. Purcell was picked as a winner in the mile, but. through illness, failed to secure points. Though suffering from a severe cold, he pluckily finished the race. Baseball. An encouraging number of men responded to Captain Tones’ call for candidates for the baseball team. The practice is held on the Broadway field, which, though rough, is the only place available. The contest for places promises to be very close, there being at least three who are hustling for every position. The candidates arc: Catcher, R. Goode. Fisher. Pipe; pitcher. Jones, Tift. Duddy; first base, Moore. Lewis; second base, Harts, Kimpton, Sturtevant: third base, Wearc. Higgins, Nolan, Chandler, Holmes, Raymond, Smith; outfield, Mc- Carthy. Dickinson. Blackwell. Russ. Goode, Gar- land. Blair. Farnum. Graham. At a meeting of the Interscholastic Baseball League at the B. A. A., Captain Jones was elected president. The league consists of C. M. T. S., Eng- iish High, Cambridge High, and Somerville. Con- trary to the custom of previous years, the teams meet each of the other members twice. This will assure a fairer award of the championship.

A new genera- tion is growing up in the South, as we are in the North, and these two sections of our great republic do not feel the hatred for each other as did our fathers. In the list of holidays at the Pan-American Ex- position. we notice that a day has been set apart SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 186 for Memorial day for the Confederate soldiers, and another day is Jefferson Davis' birthday. This would seem that the North does not feel that she is doing wrong in allowing the defeated heroes of the Civil War to celebrate on Northern soil the events in which they took part so bravely. The journey of our president and party through the South has also helped to wipe away all bitter- ness and hatred. While, therefore, we are strewing the graves ot our heroes with flowers, while we arc singing hymns of the North, and recounting the victories which our gallant soldiers won, let us make a wreath to the brave men of the South, let us sound the battle song so dear to the Southern enemy, let us speak a word for those brave Confederates who fell on the same fields with the Union soldiers, and whose sons are now marshaled under the self-satnc flag with the sons of the North, and who are often led bv generals who fought so bravely for the lost cause. K r. K k pOLLOWING the custom of past years, the edi- tors are arranging to make the June issue a model of excellence in school papers. This year we are prepared to even outdo the previous issues in the way of beautiful artistic illustrations, cover de- signs, and general make-up. Besides the usual June frontispiece, there will oc a beautiful photogravure print, entitled On the Classic Charles. This photogravure was made expressly for the Radiator, and cannot be obtained except by procuring a copy. There will also be other illustrations, such as the class photographs, baseball group, etc. Besides being of larger size this year than ever before, the Radiator will be increased still more by the addition of four more pages, making fifty- two pages, four more than were printed last year. The paper will contain the usual number of stories, sketches, notes, etc., and a full directory of the two schools. Subscription blanks will be out the twentieth for those wishing to secure copies of the June number to sign. The present plan is to print only just enough to fill subscription orders, so that they will not be on sale. Every one should therefore put his name on a blank, and be sure of securing a copy of this excellent souvenir art number. r � 'J' 11F. success reached by the young ladies of the English High in their recent rendering of The Rivals was so complete, and there have been so many who have expressed a desire to see these young ladies in a play made great by Joseph Jeffer- son. that it has been decided to repeat the play on the evening of May 16. We are told that tickets must be procured in advance, as they will not be on sale at the door. With so excellent a stage man- ager and coach as Miss Nichols, and so choice a body of talent selected, we can easily sec why it is so brilliant and complete a success. r pOR our excellent cover design this month we arc indebted to Miss Belle O. Wiswell, of the Sophomore class. E were greatly interested and pleased to learn of the success achieved by II. K. Hadley, who was a former resident and a graduate of the Latin High School. Mr. Hadley may justly feel proud of a son who has risen to such distinction and appreciation in the musical world. One of our most beautiful and difficult pieces, to be sung at graduation, is the work of this talented composer. it tt tt k 'J HE Photo-Era. which we receive each month, should certainly prove entertaining to those of our schools interested in the progress of art. Each month it has as a beautiful frontispiece some art novelty, and many other pretty pictures. It also gives the latest processes of photography. We ad- vise all to read it. and you don’t have to .go to Bos- ton for it: just ask the business manager and he’ll supply you. ft ft 'pi lE design for the June souvenir number of the Radiator will be chosen by competition, thus giving all an opportunity to enter the “lists. Three colors will be allowed, and all designs must be handed to the editor or business manager on or be- fore June 7, as the choice will be made on that date. Those in later than that date will not be considered. We hope a large number of drawings will be handed in. giving us a large collection from which to choose. All reading matter, also, must be in be- fore the 7th of the month. ft ft ft JT is with pleasure that we learn our instructor, Howard W.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 187 A NEW BEGINNING. LAURENCE CAIN L., '02. ELL, I’m free at last.” He stood be- fore the gates of the great New York prison and shuddered as he gazed at the sombre building, with its signifi- cant iron bars. Only to think,” he muttered, of a Carver being put in there. Poor old Dad! He did all lie could for me, gave me the best of every- thing, sent me to college, and yet I've turned out what 1 am. I suppose it broke Dad’s heart when he heard I was arrested. Well, it's past now, and I'm in the world again, but it's hard to think of one good year spent in that place. Well, what will 1 do now, go home? Never. I could never go back and face Dad again. I've begun wrong, and 1 might as well go on; 1 can't begin again; no one cares, anyway; so what does it matter?” With one last glance at the prison walls, the young man started down the street. He had gone but a few steps when he stopped suddenly. Coming towards him was an old, white- haired man whom he recognized as his old profes- sor of Greek, a man whom he reverenced and loved, and one above all whom he did not wish to meet. So he turned abruptly, and was about to retrace his steps, but the professor’s voice arrested him. Tom,’’ he called, come here.” The boy hesi- tated, then slowly turned and went back, l’rofes- sor, he said, I’m hardly a fit person for you to be seen talking with; if you'll pardon me, I'll walk on.” No, Tom, I want to speak to you. I never thought I'd see you in this position. Tom. You, above all. for whom I had such fine aspirations. And you had such a fine father, Tom. I know it.' he interrupted hastily. Dad was too good to me. I didn’t deserve it. “I’m not going to chide you, my boy, or remind you of what you might have been, but I wish as your old professor to give you some advice. Begin again, Tom. Start all over again, and see if you can make people honor and respect you.” No,” he answered meditatively. If I could blot out this last year of my life, and be once again in college. I would make a different man; but as I have sown, so shall I reap. No, I can't do it, pro- fessor. I can’t go back again and face Dad. after what I’ve done. Would you, now, professor, if you were in mv place? Honest, would you?” The professor was silent. After a while he spoke: No, Tom. I wouldn't. If I were in your place. I'd go away, begin again, and make my name respected, and then I’d come back, not before.” Is that your advice, professor? asked Tom, earnestly gazing up into the other’s face. It is, Tom. Will you take it?” The young man dropped his eyes to the ground, and neither spoke. Then suddenly Tom Carver looked up. I’ll do it, professor,” lie cried. I'll do it. 1 will go away, far away from the old home; I will, with God’s help, take the stigma from my name, and when 1 have done this, I'll come back, but not till then, no, not till then. One day in April, a year later, three cowboys were lounging on the veranda of a ranch in south- ern Texas. Two were typical ranchcros, while the third—the third was indeed our friend. Tom Carver, but changed almost beyond recognition. His fair skin was almost as dark as that of his companions, and he wore the usual rough cowboy suit. Their afternoon siesta was rudely interrupted by an excited cowboy, who came dashing up to the ranch. Reining in his horse, he yelled: Heard the news, boys? and, without waiting for a reply, he went on: We're going to war, sure. O, won’t we lick the Spaniards off the face of the earth! Hoorah! And, with another deafening yell, he dismounted and walked up to the veranda. The three had risen, and stood looking at him in amazement. Shut up your yellin', will ye? cried Buckeye Bill, the huge Texan, and tell us about it. Where'd ye hear it, Sam? Down at the fort. Got the news yesterday. Gee. but I’m glad. So am I. said Bill, and you can bet I'm goin' if there’s to be any fightin’. Same here, pard,” cried Sam, enthusiastically grasping the other’s hand. “Shake!” Tom looked on in silence. “Perhaps, he thought, this is my opportunity. Perhaps, in fighting for my country and freedom, I may win back my honor. I’ll try. Well, suddenly broke in Sam, how about you, Tom. and you, Pete? Tom slowly replied: Bill and Sam, you know I'm not much of a hand for fighting, like the rest, but in a case of this kind, for the sake of humanity, I'll go. Well said, old man,” said Bill, patting Tom on the shoulder; you're true steel. So, shortly after, when the president's call for troops came, Tom and his three friends were among the first to respond, and-helped organize that most famous band of fighters, the Rough Riders. With the regiment complete began the long delay of transportation. For many weary days the eager soldiers lay in that hot little Texas town of San An- tonio. hoping, praying that each succeeding day would see them started for the seat of war. Tom Carver’s young, hot blood glowed for bat- tle: in his dreams he pictured himself in the thick of the fight; lie pictured the time when, by his SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 188 bravery in battle, he would come home with honor, once more to hold up his head in his native town. At last, after many a brave man had succumbed to disease, the order came to embark. Who can picture the joy with which those cowboys received the news? They all knew that suffering, perhaps death, lay beyond that narrow strip of water, but who cared? They would willingly suffer, even (tie fighting for their country. What need to describe that journey, the long pe- riod of disembarking, the hot. weary marches in a rain-soaked, unhealthy climate? Jt is long since a matter of history. During one of these tiresome tramps, Buckeye Dill, standing next to Tom, cried out: No use, lorn, old friend, J can't stand it any longer. 1 can't go on.” Keep up, Dill, lorn replied en- couragingly, “we ll soon reach camp.” Dill tried to answer, but his frame tottered, and he fell into Tom's arms. Poor fellow, ' muttered he, you are pretty far gone. The surgeon '11 be along pretty soon. Perhaps nc can fix you all right.” When the doctor arrived he found the young cowboy bathing the elder man's forehead with water from his canteen. At the surgeon's approach Tom glanced up quickly. The doctor smiled. Dy all that’s won- derful. but it’s my old friend Carver. How arc you. Tom? The latter hesitated. I hardly thought you’d speak to me, Bourne. “Tut, tut, old man, don't mind about your youthful follies, but shake hands. Bourne’s kindly greeting put a new spirit in Tom Carver. He felt better to know that at least one of his old friends would recognize him. Meanwhile the surgeon was examining Buckeye Bill. Is he very bad? asked Tom anxiously. Bourne looked up. O, just like all the rest of them, completely exhausted, lie'll have to go back to the hospital. And say, Carver, said he, coming over and resting his hand on Tom's shoulder, you knew quite a lot about medicine and doctoring in college, and you're just the man we need. Would you be willing to come back and act as a nurse? We have only a few young women (God bless them), and Tom, my friend, you could do far more good as a nurse than as a soldier. Tom’s face grew white. If he accepted, he must give up all his most cherished plans and ambitions, and why need he? They could get other nurses. The doctor was eyeing him intently. Will you come. Carver? said he. Tom hesitated but a mo- ment. 1 will, doctor.” he answered. For many a weary day after Tom toiled in that hastily-improvised hospital. No woman’s hand was more soothing than his. and many a dying sol- dier raised himself to bless the sad young nurse be- fore he breathed his last One day. when Tom, tired and sick after a long night’s vigil, was about to snatch a few hours' rest, a young Cuban girl, crying piteously, entered the hospital O, good senor American, save my brother,” she moaned. Your brother? why, where is he?” asked Tom. With the tears running down her cheeks, she told that, while she and her brotner, who was an insur- gent, were up in the mountains, he had accidentally slipped from a crag and fallen into the gully below. 1 om comforted the little girl, and, hastily buck- ling on a revolver and taking a flask of brandy, he followed the child. About two miles they walked, when, the girl, pointing to a steep cliff, declared her brother had been standing there when he fell. Toni shuddered. Quickly he ran down to the ravine below. There, silent, on the ground lay a Cuban, a youth of about Tom's age. llis face was traced with lines of suffering, and it needed no ex- perienced eye to see that all his pain was over. The poor little Cuban maiden, having fallen behind, now came running up. Is he badly hurt, senor? she asked, wringing her hands. To satisfy her, Tom knelt down and placed his hand on the patriot's heart. Door fellow, your sufferings arc over,” he muttered brokenly. Perhaps you're happy---” Just then a sharp report broke the stillness. Tom clutched his heart and fell forward, while from out the shrubbery appeared the dark face of a Span- ish sharp-shooter. Seeing the little girl, who was standing motionless, like one in a trance, he ex- claimed: I won’t hurt you, you little rebel. Only- go home and tell them I've sent one more of those cursed Americans where they can't fight.” $ Guided by the bright rays of the full moon, the little party of Americans, headed by Dr. Bourne, came to the place where Tom had fallen. The sur- geon bent down. Tom,” he said, we’ve come for you.” Tom Carver slowly opened his eyes. Bourne. he answered faintly. I’m done for. Lift me up, old fellow. he added. Bourne silently lifted him. while the others of the party, all friends of Tom, gathered round him. If you ever get home. Bourne, I want you to sec my father. Tell him I never forgot him, and that 1 tried to redeem myself. If 1 could have lived. I might have made him proud of me. But God has willed otherwise. I know I can't live. Good-bye, friends.” he said, turning to the silent throng. Good-bvc.” His head sank back on the doctor's breast, and he closed his eyes. No one spoke. The dying sol- dier opened his eyes again, and the listeners heard a faint God bless you, father,” and one more brave- spirit had passed to its reward. Far off from the seat of war, in a large Eastern city a month later. Tom’s old professor sat reading. Suddenly a paragraph in the paper caught his eye, and he hurriedly read:— Among the latest casualties reported is that of Private Thomas B. Carver, formerly a well-known college man. lie joined the ranks of the Rough SOMERVILLE HIGH Riders from Texas, but, on reaching Cuba, became a nurse, and was placed in charge of one of the smaller hospitals. In this capacity he acted the part of a hero, and many a soldier owes his life to this young American's exertions. He was tnor- SCHOOL RADIATOR. 189 tally wounded while generously going to the aid of an injured Cuban insurgent. The paper dropped from the professor's tremb- ling hands. Poor Tom!” he said. Poor Tom! I le was indeed a hero!” THE LITTLE UN. Emma. E. Prichard, E., '01. HAT arc yer askin', stranger, aoout that little un a-playing by the door? Wall, 1 don’t mind tollin', that s my little sunshine, my little blue-eyed liessic ’ Here the old trapper stopped and called the little child to his knee. She certainly was beautiful, with her golden hair and deep blue eyes. She looked lovingly into the old man's face, and then nestled quietly in nis lap. Now, I’ll tell yer my story, and the old man drew his chair closer to mine and began:— I was born in the little town of 1� --------, and there 1 lived the happiest part of my life. 1 went ter school in the little red schoolhouse, and there 1 met Bessie Densmorc. We sat side by side day by day, year after year, and even then 1 loved her with all my boyish heart. The little un there looks jest as she did when 1 first saw her. Here the old trapper looked lovingly at the little figure in his lap and went on. When we grew older, we both went ter work in the mill, for we came from p(X r, though honest, families. Yer bet those wes happy days fer me! We used ter walk home tergethcr every night, and in thcr evenin’ 1 wes always a welcome caller at her humble home. But after a year a shadow came ter put an end to my happiness. George Howard, the mill owner’s son, had come home from college, and my Bessie attracted his attention. Slowly Bessie and 1 drifted apart, and at last I used ter walk home alone, while the young gentleman walked by Bessie’s side. One sad day I was bending over my machine. 1 felt a sudden push from behind! And the next thing I knew I wes layin’ in my own bed at home, and my mother wes bendin’ over me. My leg wes badly crushed, and I wes bruised all over. Every one said it wes a sad accident, and I didn't contradict them. Them wes sad days for me; the doctor said I’d lose my leg, and I didn't much care as long as Bessie had forsaken me.” There the old trapper sighed and brushed a tear from his eye. Slowly I got better, and, ter the doctor’s delight, J didn't iosc my leg. Meanwhile Bessie’s mother had died, and Bessie had married George Howard. They had gone ter live in Boston, and everybody said that Bessie had married well. After many weeks I went back ter the mill, but my heart was with Bessie, and, ter forget my sor- row, 1 took ter drinkin’. Two years passed, and 1 had fallen lower and lower inter the path of sin. Mother she plead with me, but it didn't do no good, though she, poor soul, never lost patience, but kept on lovin' me. One Christmas eve I wes siltin’ by the stove slccpin' off a drunk. Mother wes by my side, prayin' that 1 might see the sin of my deeds. It wes stormin' fearfully outside, an’ as the night wore on, the snow piled higher and higher, and the wind wes a howlin' around the house. About twelve o’clock I heard sumthin' heavy fall against the door. I staggered forward with a start. hen 1 opened the door a woman fell inter the room! Taking the figure in my arms, I staggered and almost fell! The shawl fell from the woman's face! My God, it wes my Bessie, stiff and cold as in death ! She clasped a little bundle ter her heart, and from it came a weak little cry. 1 undid thcr bundle, and a pair of blue eyes looked wondcrin’ly inter my face. Mother had brought Bessie to, and as she opened her eyes, 1 took her in my arms. Oh, how- changed ! Hunger and poverty wes written in her face, and 1 knew she couldn’t last long. She told me how her husband had been sick for a long time, and on his deathbed had confessed that he had pushed me inter the machine on that sad day so long ago. Site, poor soul, had come back to ask my pardon. She lived but three days, but I think them wes thcr happiest days of my life. She left the little un ter me, and I took it gladly. We buried her beside her mother in the little churchyard, and from that day 1 wes a changed man. The next spring 1 cum West with mother and the little un. I have had good luck, and laid by a good sum fer her. When I die, she is goin back ter New England and her grand-dad; he has prom- ised ter care for her. I suppose I'm selfish, but I can't live without her. fer she's the sunshine of my life. I ain't very old. but I shan't live long; thcr Western climate doesn’t agree with me. Ther lit- tle un will be provided fer. and I shall die in peace. The old trapper’s story wes finished, the little un had fallen asleep in his lap. and 1 left the old man with his baby love and the memory of his lost Bessie. 190 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. HER AWAKENING. R. L. Olney, Ef0t. led, gurgled, and twisted against the side of the boat, while from the oars tiny drops trickled slowly and grew into circles ever widening, never ceasing. The stars twinkled overhead, and the only sound was the murmur of the waves among the rocks and pebbles on the beach. The young man pulled more slowly, then stopped, and, resting his oars in their sockets, asked quietly:— Miss Burton, may 1 inquire why you cannot marry me? The girl did not answer immediately. She let her fingers glide slowly through the water, and her eyes were fixed dreamily on the lights flash- ing from the cottages. Then suddenly she sat up- right among the soft cushions, determination ex- pressed in every feature. Mr. Warner, you have the right to know why 1 cannot marry you. You wish to know, and I will tell you! I have always wished for power, money, and position. 1 must have my carriages, flowers, and amusements. I could not drudge, day in and day out. with nothing to look forward to. Why! what would this life be? Some can be content, yes, even happy, doing this, but I cannot. If 1 have pained you, I am sorry, but it is best you should know.” “Yes, answered the young man, “it is best I should know. I am glad you have told me before it was too late! I am not wealthy. Miss Burton. Mv wife could not have a span at her bidding, nor many I’aris gowns; yet she must love me, and be willing to make our home beautiful. She would be a help, a comfort, and our pleasures and sorrows would be shared alike. A tinge of bitterness crept into his voice, and Miss Burton could not meet the look of reproach in his eyes. Quietly he rowed to the landing. The boat wiggled uneasily as she prepared to step out. and quickly he extended Ins hand. His clasp was firm and strong, and, after stepping out, she glanced up. and saw that the be- ginning of the end was near. Miss Burton, is this your final answer? I will not urge you. But I have hoped so long. I want you. only you, for my wife!” The girl hesitated Something in that last appeal touched her very heart. He wants me, only me! Perhaps I do love him. even if he is poor. He is good and noble. I might be happy working with him! But no! I cannot. I have said I cannot marry poverty.” Yes.” she answered quietly, withdrawing her hand, this is my final answer. You must not grieve. Mr. Warner. You will find your ideal, and she will make you happy. Still we can at least be friends? No.” said the man bitterly, we cannot be friends! All is over between us! But, Miss Bur- ton,” he added passionately, Florence! if you should ever change your mind, you will tell me, only speak to me?” Mr. Warner, lean never make you happy!” She extended her hand slowly, and Chapin Warner pressed it reverently, and then, looking lull into her beautiful eyes, he answered quietly, 1 will try to deserve you. 1 will strive, and, believe me, 1 shali never forget you. He stooped and gathered up the long coil of damp, glistening rope, while she turned and slipped away in the dusk. The summer months were speeding away. The famous resort was filled with a gay, fashionable crowd. Of them all. Miss Burton was the belle. Yet, despite the attention she received, she was not happy. Something was lacking, missing in all th - beauty and gaiety around her. People whispered among themselves, and told each other how she flirted, and then added: It would be better tor her to consider well before she accepts Mr. Lessing. His past life, you know- and then they would shake their heads. Chapin Warner still stayed, why, he could not tell. Something attracted and held him there. He had had his struggle, and lie had won. I le was polite and courteous to all, yet often Miss Burton would feel his eyes fixed upon hers, and she knew that he still cared, and still would continue to care. The day had been warm, and in the evening’s twilight Miss Burton strolled along the beach. The tide was coming in. and it brought not only multitudes of tinv shining starfish and silvery peb- bles, but a gentle, refreshing breeze. She sat down on a rock and watched the waves lap and foam at her feet. On the horizon a full fiery moon was us- ing. and its beams tinted the sails of the boats tint moved gracefully along in the distance. Across the waters came the refrain from the singers:— I was seeing Nelly home, I was seeing Nelly home. And ’twas from Aunt Dinah’s quilting-party I was seeing Nelly home. They arc happy. she thought. I wonder why it is 1 am not contented lately. Nothing pleases me. Perhaps! Oh! 1 don’t know, 1 am tired of this life! Yet. 1 ought to be happy. 1 have longed for riches and pleasures, and soon I will have them to my heart's content, and then, 1 presume. I shall be satisfied.” She s| okc half to herself, half out loud, and as site paused, a figure arose from behind a hug bowlder and stepped towards her. It was a worn ia and the moonlight fell full upon her as she ad- vanced. She was small, her dress was of the plain- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. est, yes, of the coarsest, material, and at her throat was folded a kerchief in the fashion of the fishenvomcn. Yet. her face, how firm, and yet how sad! The eyes were a dark, deep brown, and care and grief had traced their certain fingers over her high forehead. The women faced each other, the one in the bloom of youth and beaut), with golden locks; the other in the decline of life, with silvered locks. Miss Burton?” asked die stranger cautiously, as she advanced a step. Yes. answered the girl, )ou wish to sec me? Across the water came faintly the words;— I'll hang my harp on the weeping-willow tree, And may the world go well with thee, well with thee.” I want to speak with you. returned the woman after a pause, during which the song died away. I want to tell you my story. Ah! no. I do not wish your money. I did not come to beg. I came to help you. You look surprised! Hut, listen! and she advanced yet nearer. 1 have heard that you were beautiful, but yet. 1 was once as beautiful as you! Like you, I was loved and cared for! Like you, I was proud and haughty! My father idolized me. and gave me everything my heart could desire. I was petted and spoiled, yes, spoiled. I scorned my worthy village lover when he came to woo me, and so I lost all of happiness and joy in life!” The woman folded her hands convulsivclv. and gazed far out over the sea. The girl advanced nearer, and there they stood, side by side. Oh! you know what happened. continued the woman passionately, it is a common story. 1 ran away from my honored father with a man, a creature, rather, who was utterly false, and who lowered me to the very depths of shame and misery. Ah! but 1 did not know. 1 could not know. I longed for the city, for the gay throngs, the bcauti fill dresses, and all. all that made life worth living. I thought. For a time I thought he loved me. but then. then, after my Neddie died—O ! why. why did I tell you? and, covering her face in her hands, the woman sank on the sand. The girl’s eyes filled with tears, and slowly she stooped, and. taking the trembling, hard hands in hers, said softly. “Do not tell me more. It pains you too much. I know, your life has been so hard, so cruel! lie left you—basely deserted you! and you have had to struggle on among the sin and sor row alone! lie has tried to ruin other lives, and you have come here to help some one.” 191 Yes! cried the woman, “but, tell me, how did you know? I cannot tell. answered the girl, “something told me. and she smiled through tier tears. The woman rose, and, placing her hands in the girl's, asked softly :— And did you care? How can you ask? Do I care for a traitor, a— a—but no! 1 thought I did care, but no! no! I do not! I was too proud, too haughty, and this is my reward.” Child, said the woman tenderly, promise me that you will be happy. I cannot. cried the girl. I have refused all happiness. I rejected the love of a worthy man because he was poor; now I must endure the con- sequences.” Ah. no! answered the woman. When a true man loves, he loves to the end, through storm and sunshine. You have made a mistake, we all make them, but you can be most happy yet. Promise me you will? The girl gazed far over the moonlit waters. The struggle was almost over. Then she said: I promise. You have made me so happy, and now I must go—I dare not stay longer. But I shall think of you often, and you will be a bright light for mam- paths. “Where are you going? cried the girl. Is there nothing I can do? Something to give you pleasure? You have given me my life's happi- ness ! No, said the woman, shaking her head, ir.v wants are few; my life will soon be over. 1 will continue to work among those who are more wretched than I. and by and by I will slip away to my Neddie.” The girl stooped and kissed the worn forehead gently. Good-bye, and thank you. she added. God will reward you. Good-bye. And so those two parted, those two whom Fate had so strangely brought together. The tide was still rising, and yet Miss Burton stayed. How thankful she felt, and how different everything seemed! 1 have promised her. I will be happy ! I wiil be!’’ Miss Burton.” said a deep voice behind her, they are wishing for you at the hotel. Miss Burton, Florence! what is it? Pell me. as he saw her transfigured face and beaming eyes. Mr. Warner, may I ask—Do you—do you still want me? And only the kindly moon, with its smiling face, and the tiny waves know what happened next! 192 SOM ICR VILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. BEHIND THE SCENES. F. W. H. O-NIGHTS was to be the first per- formance of the Septerian Dramatic Club on a professional stage, as a professional company. Not alone this, but also the fact that we had been engaged to put on, what was consid- ered by the public a play which we were entirely unable to produce, Henry V..” had attracted a large and fashionable house. Though we had long since been broken into the ways of the profession, and had forgotten what stage fright felt like, yet I for one am willing to say I was just a trifle nervous, and I guess the others were, too. Of course we had not yet outgrown the amateur trick of having a little dance all to ourselves, to the music of the orchestra, greatly astonishing the supers who filled the wings. They were all green supers, and as stupid a crowd as ever trod the boards. Soon the calciums flashed, and the quiet com- mand. All off!” came from the stage manager, who, now that he was running a professional stage, had enveloped his portly self in a dress suit, and covered his scattered locks with a beaver. He was serenely snapping his gloved fingers, and giving orders with a greater haughtiness, if possible, and more self-consciousness than a professional. Now the buzzer gives its warning and the curtain soars upward. The orchestra gives a final flourish, and all is still save for the ringing voice of the chorus,” as, blinking in the flood of powerful lights thrown on her from all sides, she makes her announcements. Still another exception must be made to the above, for the supers had already found some of the chorus girls, perched on organs and pianos, furniture, etc., quite interesting, and were enjoying the wings immensely until the stage man- ager put in an appearance. To tell the truth, and yet not boast, the play was taking well, and we fairly surprised ourselves. Things went smoothly, and we had many curtain- calls. We were particularly interested in our Henry and Katharine. They were considered our best players, and then, too. as we thought they had a remote liking for one another, our interest was in- creased. Robert Webster, a fellow of athletic build and of handsome face, made a very good King Harry, only it took a good coat of paint and an ex- change of a wig of flaxen hair for his short, curly, black hair to make an Englishman of him. Bessie Hollander was all we could desire as a French prin- cess. only we had to sacrifice her sunny hair for a wig of rich black, which, in contrast with her rosy cheeks (not painted ones, either), made her prettier than ever. How we envied Bob his little love scene! But. then, Bess was a jolly girl, and we tried as best we could to make up for it behind the wings. Of course, I can’t fail to mention our sweet little Alice as May, or, as we called her, Maybe, Wilmot played her. She could vie with any French beauty without the aid of the make-up man. Well, the critics didn't find much to criticise, and so tried to increase the size of our heads by flattery. Now Katharine and Henry are alone save for Katharine's gentlewoman. Alice. We filled the wings, with ears and eyes wide open, with eager at- tention. liven the supers found time to leave the chorus girls in order to listen. K. Hen. Fair Katharine, and most fair! Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms, Such as will enter at a lady’s ear, And plead his love suit to her gentle heart? Kath. (conversing with the aid of Alice).—Your majesty shall mock at me; I cannot speak your England. K. Hen.—O, fair Katharine, if you will love me soundly with your French heart, 1 will be glad to hear you confess it brokenly with your English tongue. Do you like me, Kate? How we started as the sincerity with which these last words rung fell upon our cars! I think the audience noticed it. also. It was Bob Webster speaking to Bessie Hollander words as full of de- votion as the good King Harry ever uttered, and yet, so intent on her lines was she that, innocent of the meaning of his words, she calmly went on:— Kath.—Pardonnez moy, I cannot tell vat is— like me. K. Hen.—An angel is like you, Kate; and you are like an angel. Kath.—Oue dit-il? Que jc suis semblable a les anges? Alice.—Ouv, vrayment (sauf vostre grace), ainsi dit-il. K. Hen.—I said so. dear Katharine, and I must not blush to affirm it. Kath.—O bon Dicit! les langues dcs homines sont pleines dcs trompcrics. K. Hen.—What says she. fair one? That the tongues of men are full of deceits? Alice.—Ouy: dat dc tongues of dc mans is full of deceits: dat is dc princess. K. Hen.—The princess is the better English- woman. I’faith. Kate, my wooing is fit for thy understanding. Kath.—Sauf vostre honneur, me understand well. K. Hen.—Marry, if you would put me to verses, or to dance for your sake, Kate, why. you undid me. If I could win a lady at leap-frog, or by vaulting into my saddle with my armour on my back, under the correction of bragging be it spoken. I should quickly leap into a wife. Or. if I might buffet for my love, or bound my horse for her favours, T could lay on like a butcher, and sit like a jack-an-apes, never off: but, Kate. I cannot look greenly, nor gasp out my eloquence, nor I have no cunning in protestation. If thou canst love a fellow of this SOMKRVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 193 temper. Kate, whose face is not worth sunburning, that never looks in his glass for love of anything he sees there, let thine eye be thy cook. 1 speak to thee plain soldier. If thou canst love me for this, take me; if not. to say to thee—that I shall die is true: but—for thy love, by the Lord, no; yet I love thee. too. And while thou livest, dear Kate, take a fellow of plain and uncoined constancy; for he perforce must do thee right, because he hath not the gift to woo in other places; for these fellows of infinite tongue, that can rhyme themselves into ladies’ favours, they do always reason themselves out again. What! a speaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a ballad. A good leg will fall; a straight back will stoop: a black beard will turn white; a curled pate will grow bald : a fair face will wither; a full eye will wax hollow; but a good heart. Kate, is the sun and the moon; or. rather, the sun, and not the moon ; for it shines bright, and never changes, but keeps his course truly. If thou wouldst have such a one. take me. Katli.—Is it possible dat I should love de enemy of France? K. Hen.—No: it is not j ossible you should love the enemy of France, Kate: but, in loving me, you should love the friend of France; but I love Franee so well that I will not part with a village of it; 1 will have it all mine: and. Kate, when France is mine, and I am yours, then yours is France, and you are mine. Katli.—I cannot tell vat is dat. K. Hen.—No. Kate? I will tell thee in French ; which, 1 am sure, will hang upon my tongue like a new-married wife about her husband’s neck, hardly to be shook off. Quand j'ay la possession dc France, et quand vous avez la possession dc tnoy (let me see. what then? Saint Dennis be my speed!) done vostre est France, et vous estes mienne. It is as easy for me. Kate, to conquer the kingdom as to speak so much more French : I shall never move thee in French, unless it be to laugh at me. Katli.—Sauf vostre honneur. le Francois que vous parlez est meillcur que l’Anglois lcquel je parle. K. Hen.—No. ’faith, 'tis not, Kate; but thy speaking of my tongue, and I thine, must needs be granted to be much at one. But, Kate, dost thou understand thus much English? .Canst thou love me? Katli.—I cannot tell. K. Hen.—Can any of your neighbors tell. Kate? I'll ask them. Come, I know thou lovest me. How answer you, la plus belle Katharine du monde. moil tres cliere et divine decssc? Katli.—-Your majeste ’ave faussc French enough to deceive de most sage demoiselle dat is en France. K. Hen.—Now, fie upon mv false French! By mine honour, in true English. I love thee. Kate. Put off your maiden blushes; avouch the thoughts of your heart with the looks of an empress; take me by the hand, and say—Harry of England. I am thine: which word thou shah no sooner bless mine ear withal but I will tell thee aloud—England is thine. Ireland is thine, France is thine, and Henry Plantagenet is thine; who, though I speak it before his face, if he be not fellow with the best king, thou shall find the best king of good fellows. Come, your answer in broken music; for thy voice is music, and thy English broken. Wilt thou have 111c? Katli.—Dat is as it shall please dc roy mon pert .

Dear Kate, you and I cannot be confined within the weak list of a country's fashion; there- fore, patiently and yielding. | Kissing her. | You have witchcraft in your lips. Kate; there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council; and they should sooner persuade Harry of England than a general petition of monarchs. When Kate and Harry climbed the narrow stairs to their dressing rooms, every pair of eyes on the stage followed them, and the wise old heads wagged dubiously. Katharine had received many flowers over the foots, and among them was a bunch of roses, which Henry carried. As soon as he had made his change and had his makeup renewed, he went to Katharine’s room. Her dressers had al- ready completed her change, so they had a few spare moments to themselves, and improved the opportunity to see part of the show. Some very pretty flowers you forgot. Bess. I came very near appropriating them,” lie remarked as he entered. “Why, have I got some beautiful red roses, too? How nice it is to be a leading lady and be so well received! Isn’t the show great? Why are you scowling so. Bob? You don't seem to enthuse very much.” Bob started. It was the first time she had called him by his first name. Had she really understood ’ 194 SOMKRVILLIC HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 'I’m not scowling. I like to have people show their approval of your talent.” Now don’t try to get out of it by flattering. That’s the way fellows always try to make things smooth. Oh, you said once you’d tell me a story about a red rose.” I tell you a story of a red rose? When did I say that?’’ I gave you one at one of the rehearsals, and you said you knew a story, but you wouldn’t tell it to me then, so tell me now, please.” Well, don’t tease: if you must know the story, here goes: ‘Once upon a time there was a king who loved a princess. He had become acquainted with her at some great state ball, and she had given him a red rose which had broken from the cluster which she wore. Now. she likewise was very inquisitive, and wanted to know what made him so silent dur- ing the rest of the evening. So some time later, when they both won laurels at a royal masque, she rctncmbcrcd it. She tried to coax him to tell it. but all in vain. Suddenly a happy thought seized her. and she gave him another: then she heard, or. rather, found out the story.’ ” Is that the end? But I don’t know any more about the story than when you began. I think you’re real mean. Oh, how stupid of me! Won't you have one of these roses for our next scene?” she asked, going suddenly rosy. Ah! he said to himself, she did understand. To use my lines, slightly altered. ‘I would have them all, and. Bess, when the roses are mine and I am yours, then yours arc the roses and you are mine’-----” “ ’Sh. here comes the call-boy.” Who cares for a call-boy or all the world. Bess, since you and I are a queen and a king? ‘The lib- erty that follows our places stops the mouths of all find faults as I will do yours. . . . therefore, pa- tiently' and yielding’; there, now. you can’t say you don’t know the story of one red rose. “Are you people ever coming down?” shouted the stage manager, as his face, red with the exertion of squeezing up the narrow stairs, appeared in the doorway: the stage is waiting for you.” When the curtain rose, the house greeted the young lovers with a burst of applause. It was with a sweet smile on her face that Bess walked to the altar. While they were kneeling, Harry handed Katharine something which lie had fumbled out of his belt. She grasped it tightly, and as the last notes of the choir were dying away, she suddenly arose and hurried forward to the right corner of the stage. A:� she neared it. she reeled and fell, but as she fell she grasped the red handle, and down came the cur- tain. We all stood motionless with surprise. Sur- prise turned to fear, and fear to horror, as we real- ized the significance of her action. The stage was afire. Already the gridiron was fanned to a roar- ing furnace by the draught from the falling curtain. There was’a mad rush of every man for himself. I , was the stage manager who, with a cool head, sounded an alarm, informed the audience that the play was ended, and then sought the neighboring hotel to take an account of his company. All were there except Bob W ebster and Bessie Hollander. Somebody remembered seeing a falling drop stun him Surely it was Bess who had pulled the cur- tain and then fainted. Instantly we rushed out to the rescue, but it was useless. No living soul could enter the stage and return again alive, and we were held at bay. Afici the drop had struck Bob, he had swooned, but a bucket of water on the platform above, its bands having burned off, bathed his head with its contents. He stumbled along in a dazed manner to the dressing room stair. He called Bess by- name. but no answer save the roar of grasping flames. He heard a groan, and, stumbling over heaps of scene rocks and cannon from the ti LI of Agincourt. lie found her whom he sought, still grasping the red handle. He had groped liis way through the nearby door, along the smoke-filled auditorium, and eventually reached the street. Here he was now reeling in to his companions with his head gashed and bleeding, and in his arms rested the senseless form of Bess. When we pried open Bessie's hand, we found—a stemlcss, dry, red rose. Thus ended the first and last night of our two- weeks' engagement as professionals. Through another engagement we also learned the story of one red rose. THE T. S. O. CLUB. Strange name for ten young misses; Whatever can it mean? They meet where life’s sweet bliss is.

'I' had been a night of triumph for her, a | night such as comes but once in a human life, if it comes at all. That Is great, throbbing heart, the public, whose muffled beats mark the rise or fall of good and evil, had been held by her spellbound, and then, then— The picture was before her now; the row of foot- lights. whose blinding glare had nearly made her wince as she stepped into it from the darkened wing; then the orchestra playing a soft, airy prelude, and. beyond, that sea of faces raised ex- pectantly toward her. Would she ever forget it? Even now she seemed to hear the faint rustic made by hundreds of programmes, fans, and softly- fluttering laces; the ruder sounds from the gallery, and then, ever so faintly, the conductor whispering, Steady, one, two, now—sing. She had sung that night, her first appearance in- dependent of a chorus, sung her way straight to the heart of that cold, critical thing, the audience, which makes or mars the career of a public entertainer. How still it was when the first verse had been fin- ished. and stiller yet as she sang the second. For a moment after she had finished the silence had been painful, then such a shout arose as to rustle the draperies, and echoes chased each other back and forth among the scenes. In theatrical phrase- ology. she was made.” She was in her room now, and having put on a loose wrapper and a dainty pair of embroidered slip- pers, her own handiwork, she sat dreaming, with her feet toward the fire which burned lazily on the hearth. The heavy odor of sweet perfumes settled around her, the lace curtains of the windows flut- tered softly. She nearly slept. A light knock on the door aroused her. It was a bell-boy bringing her a card. The name on the card was not familiar to her. but she was a woman, young, and therefore curious. Besides,” she thought, it may be a contract. A gentleman, neatly dressed in street costume, wearing a raglan, and holding a broad-brimmed felt hat in his hand, entered, and she rose to meet him. You are Mr. L-----?” she asked. Yes. of the Times.” 1 did not know that you were a newspaper man. she said petulantly. Had I known. 1 should not have seen you. You wish an interview, no doubt. Well, I shall not give you one.” She resumed her place before the fire, placed her feet on the fender, and sighed as if she were weary, lie did not take the hint. I cannot blame you for refusing me an inter- view. lie said. Would that I. too. could sit here in this darkened room and dream as the coals smoulder into ashes. But life is not all made up of dreams; at least, I have not found it to be so. There are realities in life from which we cannot fly; heartaches we cannot heal; perhaps even now, as you sit here surrounded by luxury, you can recall the time when your light heart was wrung with grief or heavy with care. To-night you sang. I was there and heard you. It was beautiful, it was grand, but was your heart in your song? did you feel what you sang as we in the audience felt it? No! With you it was business. The feelings you displayed were not real, they were shams, it was acting. You sought reward, applause; your career depends, does it not. upon the applause you re- ceive?” She was listening now, listening attentively, her elbow on one knee and her chin resting in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on his face, scarcely discern- ible in the shadow. Sit down,” she said, you interest me.” He drew a chair near to the hearth and continued:— My work is business, too. It is not pleasure that brings me here at midnight. You refuse me an interview. Why? Mere caprice, nothing else. Suppose, night after night, the public withheld from you its applause. Would you be here now, as light- hearted. gay, and careless? Yet you refuse me an interview for no greater reason than that it is too much trouble to give it to me. What if every one refused me! Would I hold my position on the paper any length of time? You are of no use 1 should be told, and turned into the streets. Some people think we newspaper men interview people for the fun of the thing. Not at all. It is our business. It is just as much our business to obtain interviews as it is your business to obtain tlie commendation of the public. If you fail, you lose your place. So shall 1.

Yes, fate has been kind to me to-day. 1 should be happy, but listen. In far-away Texas I had a father; he died, died all alone in a hospital, among strangers, and 1 could not go to him. 1 was chained here, chained by that same public to which we both cater, you by keeping it informed. 1 by amusing it. That same public tore me away from all that was dear to me. Life is earnest, as you say; it. is not a dream; and when you came in 1 was not dreaming as much as 1 was yearning; yearning for what I cannot have—happiness. Do vou think that it is always easy for an actress to laugh, and sing, and datice? Do you think that to sham is easy? No. not when sorrow is gnawing at the heart-strings, and yet we must smile, we must dance, even sing to amuse the public. A gentle- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 196 man once said to me. ‘Whenever I feel depressed and out of sorts, nothing sets me right again as quickly as the theatre, because every one is so gay and cheerful.‘ I said to him. ‘Did you ever stop to think that perhaps the brightest and prettiest girl you see behind the footlights has more troubles to bear up under than you ever thought of having?’ What I said to him is true. The actress, when sue is on the stage, docs not smile because she is happy, but because it is a part of the business, and some- times it is hard work for her to laugh, and dance, and sing, but she must do it. for it is her business. As you yourself said, she must work for the ap- plause, but you cannot realize, no one can realize but the actress herself, how hard it is sometimes to sham. Yet, after all. applause is but empty sound. money and fame are not everything; rich and poor must bow alike before the blind mower. Death. Ay! Death is more cruel than Cupid, for with young and old alike his aim is sure, and from Death there is no divorce.” ‘‘And Cupid. he asked gently, has he also made a wound?” ‘‘Not yet,” she said. lie rose and went to her side. “We have both misjudged each other,” he said slowly, as if weigh- ing each word he uttered. ‘‘Sorrows come to the happiest lives; rich and poor have them alike. Hut in your case, would not one of Cupid’s shafts bridge the gap that death has made?” She arched her eyebrows slightly and look at him with a pair of eves brimming over with merriment. “Perhaps.” she said.

Nobody cared when he went to war. lint the woman who cried on his shoulder; Nobody decked him with immortelles,— He was only a common soldier. Nobody packed in a dainty trunk Folded raiment and officer’s fare; A knapsack held all the new recruit Might own, or love, or cat. or wear. Nobody gave him a good-bye fete. With sparkling jest and flower-crowned wine: Two or three friends on the sidewalk stood Watching for Jones, the fourth in line. Nobody cared how the battle went With the men who fought, till the bullet sped Through the coat undecked with leaf or star On a common soldier left for dead. The cool rain bathed the fevered wound, And the kind clouds wept the livelong night; A pitying lotion Nature gave. Till help might come with morning light. Such help as the knife of the surgeon gives. Cleaving the gallant arm from shoulder; And another name swells the pension list For the meagre pay of a common soldier. See over yonder all day he stands— An empty sleeve in the soft wind sways, As he holds his lonely left hand out For charity at the crossing ways. And this is how. with bitter shame. He begs his bread and hardly lives; So wearily ekes out the sum A proud and grateful country gives. What matter how he served the guns When plume and sash were over yonder? What matter though he bore the flag Through blinding smoke and battle thunder? What matter that a wife and child Cry softly for the good arm rent? And wonder why the random shot To him. their own beloved, was sent? () patriot hearts, wipe out this stain; Give jeweled cup and sword no more; Hut let no common soldier blush To own the royal blue he wore. Shout long and loud for victory won By chief and leader, staunch and true; Hut don’t forget the boys that fought.— Shout for the common soldier, too. Spring Song. A merry song now come let’s sing, ()f birds and flowers and budding spring; ()f blossoms gay that scent the air Soft music sweet and perfume rare. Narcissus buds that early break The air with fragrant odors make; And Easter lilies come apace ()f holy state and full of grace. The cowslips, too, with golden crest, Are by the zephyr breezes blest: Nor should we fail to mention make Of lilies pure that fringe the lake. The violets, gay, with purple dress, That laugh and smile nor care the less If but the sun his golden rays Will softly shade while noon-tide stays. The pansy, too, in mantle gay, That richest blooms at dawn of day. Is fair and sweet and so demure. ()r laughing, smiling, shy and pure. 'I'he rose that greets the month of June, Nor comes too often nor too soon; That waits in beauty fresh and fair To crown in grace my lady's hair. And every genii, though it’s rare.

I walked toward the door of him that I hated In the month of the apple blooms, And like thoughts of God’s love for a loving world Beat down the soft perfumes. Of love the mated songsters sang And the childlike brooklet prated.— Still I journeyed on with a heart of hate To the door of him I hated. And the hills sent up their hymn of praise. To skies bent low to hear; And the world was alert to catch the strain Of the song of the wakened year; And the heart of the world beat fast with joy, With joy and love elated,— But I strode on with a heart of hate To the door of him I hated. And then there came through the open door A coffin borne by men, Which they lx rc to a grave ’neath the apple trees At the foot of a blossoming glen. When they left him there ’mid the apple trees To his new-heaped mound I crept. And the birds sang glad as they sang before, But I fell on his grave and wept. —Sam AValtcr Foss, in Good Housekeeping. ------------------------------- She— Don't you find journalism rather thank- less work?” He—“Oh, no.

'Pile Comedy Club of the English High School presented Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s three-act comedy. “The Rivals. in a most artistic manner at Unitarian hall on Thursday afternoon. April 25. 'Pile house was comfortably crowded by an appreciative audience, and those who risked go- ing out in the rain were well repaid. Sir Anthony Absolute, as portrayed by Miss Emma E. Prichard, was one of the marked hits of the afternoon. Her conception of an eccentric old man was excellent. Without taking into considera- tion the difficulties she had to confront, her concep- tion of the old man was equal to any we have seen on a Somerville stage. Miss Florence L. Demis in the double role of Fag and David showed remarkable versatility. She made her two characters as different as two sepa- rate people could have done, even to changing her voice. She kept the house in a continual laugh as long as she was on the stage. Miss S. M. Vincent, though she had a small part, made a good beginning in theatricals. Miss Elizabeth B. Landers as the redoubtable Bob Acres left almost nothing to be desired in the playing of her part. Miss Alice F. Troclui as Cap- tain lack Absolute and Miss Mary L. Smith as Sir Lucius OTriggcr sustained their characters ad- mirably. Miss Laura Marceau, who played so well in “The Chaperone,” showed her character in a most novel and pleasing light. Miss Grace Wing, in the characters of Faulkland and Lucy, played the one like a gentleman and the other with the easy grace of one'used to tread the hoards.” Last, but not least, comes Miss Irene Horton as Lydia Languish. She took the charming young beauty to perfection. Miss Xichols. to whom the greatest credit is due. should be congratulated on the manner in which she brought out the characters and the smoothness with which the play went off. It was a good play, and it was well played. A public performance of the play will be given May 1 . You certainly shouldn't lose the opportunity given you to see the famous play, which even Joseph Jefferson finds difficult enough to be given his attention. ------------------------ BACHELOR HALL. Once more a play is under preparation, in fact, almost ready for presentation. This time an “all- star cast will present Bachelor Hall.” It is posi- tively the last production this season by a selected cast from the High Schools, and is an exceedingly humorous selection. Of course it will be presented at Unitarian hall, which has been the scene of so many successes this year. The cast, which is well known in Somerville theatricals, is as follows:— The Hon. Geoffrey Myrileton (a congressman from the 9th district) . .William L. Mercer, Jr. Silas Jervis...

The performance will take place at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening. May 29, 1901. Tickets may be had of the members of the cast at the following prices: Twenty-five, thirty-five, and fifty cents, all reserved. It will be the only thing of importance at the time, so come and pass a pleasant evening. 200 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 1901. Perhaps the most versatile youth in our class is Robert Spline. We heard recently of his wonderful exploits on the stage of one of the Boston theatres. W hat next? It is best not to wait too long before visiting Mr. Purdy, as the busy season has opened. Besides, it is a well-known fact that it is always the best look- ing persons who have their pictures taken early. The class of 1901, S. L. S.. will soon be no more. We arc not half acquainted yet. Let’s become so before ending our High School life. Miss Moses considers that sea-calming invention a dream. But dreams sometimes come true. Heard in physics: The glass jar with the stuff in it and the other thing. Ask Proctor about the women in the boat. Romulus and Remits were a couple of Shepards. Some of us are so well known at the lunch coun- ter that, whenever we approach, we find our order waiting for us. The study of electricity has greatly aided some of us in passing telegraphic messages during school hours. Resolutions. The resolutions adopted by the class of 1901, Latin School:— Whereas, by death, our dear classmate. Marcella Kendall, has been bereaved of her beloved mother; and Whereas, we. the class of 1901, have learned with great sorrow of her loss; be it therefore Resolved, that the class of 1901 hereby tender to her its most heartfelt sympathy in her trouble. Be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Miss Kendall, and printed in the High School R a match. Chester II. Brown. President, Ina G. Thompson, Secretary. J902.

EXCHANGE V .1 NOTES JXJ- dhd W at hd b The cover for the April Cherry and White, from Williamsport, Pa., is very well drawn. The ex- change column is well written. The Purple Advocate for March is well printed; the literary contents arc excellent. The A. C. II. S. Bulletin for April is far from pleasing; the print is very poor, and the general appearance poorer. We hope for improvement in the May number. The Lens, from Lansing, Mich., contains in its April number a very witty little poem, Inspira- tion. As we have read many criticisms against naming new exchanges, and thus taking valuable space, we refrain hereafter from so doing. There is no exchange column in almost every third paper which we receive. Kramatopsis,” in the April Recorder, is an ex- cellent parody. The Struggling Young Author. Really and truly, said the struggling young author, the only thing that I have encountered in my experience thus far that might even tend to dis- courage me in my efforts is just one single word that I find written—and that I am sure with the kindliest intention in the world—upon the cour- teously worded printed form that accompanies the rejected manuscripts that I get back from one pub- lishing establishment. This kindly meant but ominous word is ‘Over- stocked.’ Everything that I have sent them, for now about two years, has come back with a rejection form marked 'overstocked.' The first time I got one thus marked I said to myself: ‘All right. If you arc overstocked in that line of goods. I’ll send you something else.' But I rather liked the word, and I was pleased that they should take the trouble to write something on a form sent to me. And this word that was written, so far from seeming to imply that my stuff was not good, seemed to say that it was good; for were they not already overstocked with such matter? Had they not been so drawn to it, by its attractiveness and desirableness that they had bought of it actually more than they required for current consumption? So, on the whole. I found reason for pleasure in this rejection; and I sent them something else. In due time this came back; and written on the rejection blank was the word ‘overstocked’; they had already on hand more than they wanted of that line of goods, too. And so I sent them something else, and in due time that came back; and what’s this marked on the card? ‘Overstocked.’ And, not to burden you with details, everything that I’ve sent them for two years has come back with the blank containing, besides the formula, the written word ‘overstocked.’ “They are overstocked in everything, apparently. I've tried them on psychology and physiology; on humor, wit, and pathos; on astrology, biology, and demonology; on paleontology, geology, conchologv, and zoology: on all manner of subjects; indeed, on everything that one could think of, but they are overstocked in all. Well, now, you know, that being the case, it might seem as though further effort on my part in my chosen direction would be a waste of time; that now would be the time for me to turn to the wood- pile and take up the saw: that wood sawing, and not literature, was mv true vocation: but I do not so interpret the sign. On the contrary, I am only the more stimulated bv it. I must give them things so good that that word cannot apply.” -------------------- Three hundred editors were in our midst last week. says a western exchange, and 300 authors met them at the train, escorted them to their homes, and entertained them during their stay in our town. Now. doesn’t the above item show the gratitude of authors for favors received? Or can it be that there was a conspiracy on the part of said authors to so “corner” those editors with kindness as to make them think twice before declining any future manuscripts? We are really inclined to believe there was. Human natur is human natur'!— Atlanta Constitution. 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 1901.

Teacher (after listening to an extemporaneous speech by Miss D).—“It seems a shame that, at your age. and without great experience in the world, you should have so poor an opinion of men! Miss D.— Oh!!!!!! Well, I—I meant men in general, you know.” Mr. C.— Who was the boy governor? Pupil.— Governor Russell. Mr. C.— Why? Pupil.— Because he shaved.” Evidently Miss C-----'s doleful thoughts find an exit in her selection of English quotations. C----'s parody: Marks! Awful marks!

Jones virtually won the game for his team, holding Cambridge to two singles, and striking out seventeen Cambridge batters. He also batted well, getting the longest hit of the lav. a two-bagger.

Charles Nichols, Somerville Latin, cap- tured the second prize of a handsome silver medal on the evening of April 25, in their gymnasium. The event was well attended, and to the Somerville sympathizers it seemed that Nichols should have won the first prize, as his only conqueror was a giant. Mr. Shoenhoff, who was entered after several rounds and whose name was not upon the list. Surely Nichols has a brilliant future before him in the fencing line, as his fencing itself is most bril- liant. Robert Nichols was a close follower, but owing to the order of competing he failed to secure a prize. THE COURSE OF STUDY. Double ami Single Entry Hook-keeping. Hanking. Commercial Arithmetic.

I ' these last warm days of June, when the many 1 farewells arc being said, it is perhaps a proper time for the Radiator to hid adieu to its kind readers and contributors. Through nine issues we have had your attention, your interest, and good wishes; in return we have tried to present to you the fruits of our best judgment, selection, and en- deavors. If we have erred in aught, remember that even editors are not infallible, and look not upon our errors, hut upon our successes. The development of art in the beautiful cover de- signs. which have formed a feature of volume X., has given some idea of the resources of the draw- ing department of the schools. The camera, now an object familiar to all of our readers, has played an important part in furnishing material for many half-tone cuts and engravings. In enlarging the paper to its present size, the readers were offered more for their money; each month there was more space to be filled, which 2l8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. customcd to this way of living, and this way you shall not live.

I will he in- debted a gratitude that only He who watches over us will ever he able to pay, she said, with deep, pathos in her voice. The matter, then, is settled. I answered, deeply touched, as I prepared to leave. As I reached the street. I hailed a passing cab. and was driven to a certain lady's house on Fifth avenue, known among the 100 as a very philanthropic woman. After re- lating to her what I had been told. I secured her aid. and tile next day rode to that place with her. Mrs. Kchards (I use her assumed name for safety, for some connected with the Earl’s scandal may be alive)—Mrs. Kchards was overcome with pleasure when she found a home with this lady. Walden I safely installed in business under my care, where soon he earned enough to take home to his mother without stopping at some cheap place along the way to gamble a few dollars more. Scarce a vear elapsed before Mrs. Kchards repaid that debt of gratitude, as she termed it. and Walden was even more under my care. THE TRUTH OF A MAXIM. CHESTER M. BROWN. L.. '01. Ah, gentle old Walton! thy pure pages seem To breathe forth the fragrance of woodland and stream, The sweetness of meadows. Round us they weave Firm meshes of subtle enchantment, which leave I s hopelessly tangled. Give heed, while I tell )f a youth overcome by this magical spell; Who. under its influence, fancies that lie Is destined a second Sir Izaak to be: 'Twas no use disputing, his arm and his eye Were surely intended for casting a fly; And he would be pripce among anglers, no doubt. In gaffing a salmon or landing a trout. So lie calls to a dealer, Come! hurry! don’t wait! Bring me rods, reels, and landing-nets, boxes for bait. And minnows and helgamites, plenty of line. Best assortment of trout-flics, and hooks coarse and fine. What makes? Why, the best, sir, of course! (in surprise). Cost? Hang the cost!” thus he glibly replies. All Walton's quaint maxims he carefully learns, In his heart a fierce passion for angling burns; Yet he counsels his friends, although he will try To catch all the fishes that swim, leap, or fly, That (and this must be true, for Walton says so) The fish caught is not all of fishing. O, no! For the heart of the angler, made glad by the song Of woodthrush and warbler, dances along In time with the merry brook. Round him lie secs I lie beauties of Nature. The cool forest breeze Fans his cheek. From the valleys the soft shadows creep, Then whispering leaves soothe him gently to sleep. And now lie's returned from his fishing. His face Is troubled and anxious, with just a slight trace ()f dejection, as one who for hope vainly seeks, Whose fondest ideals have been shattered. He speaks The conviction that bitter experience lends, And sadly he answers inquisitive friends. My dear friends,” replies lie. of late I have found That tile sayings of sages arc trusty and sound; It was Walton who stated that angfing does not Consist merely in number of fish that are caught, And now I. with emphasis, beg to tell you That all this is perfectly, painfully true. No! ’tis trudging and tramping, O. mile upon mile, And tearing through bushes and brambles mean- while. And slipping on old logs, stumbling on roots, While a vast weight is added, each mile, to one’s boots: Tis fighting with midges, with black flies and bees. Untangling one’s hook from the tops of tall trees; It is lying awake on the damp ground, and then Arising, an old man of fourscore and ten. It is tumbles and bruises, and icy cold shocks (Occasioned by treacherous, slippery rocks; Being drenched by the showers, baked by the sun. Reminding one's doubtful self. ‘All this is fun!’ In short, to impress in your minds. I should wish. That truly ‘ ’Tis not all of fishing to fish ” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 219 A NIGHT ALARM. By W. G. 'Bradford, E.t '01. HE night was bitter cold, and the great city slept. The wind howled and whistled dismally through the streets, rocking the telegraph poles, and tear- ing great branches from the sturdy trees in the park, and bending the younger ones like ashen bows. Here and there a policeman was to be seen, forcing his way with bowed head against the fierceness of the hurricane; pausing now and then to try a lock, or roughly to awaken a street Arab found sleeping in a doorway. In a far corner of the city a little spark burned merrily near a heap of rubbish. It did not heed the coldness of the night: it did not heed the fierceness of the wind ; nay. it thrived on it. and soon the little heap of rubbish was ablaze, and the wind fanned it and toyed with it. and finally lifted up and bore away a large blazing piece of paper, and lodged it on tiie roof of a ncar-bv factory, where it clung lov- ingly to the shingles. $ ■ In a large rectangular room in another portion of the city the night editor of the--bent low over his desk, busily sorting copy.” The howling wind did not disturb him. nor the bitter cold, for the room, though large, was warm, and lie was ab- sorbed in his work. The night desk men, clustered around a large table, were busily engaged in writing heads” and cutting stories. In another part of the room a type- writer clicked merrily to the touch of a reporter, who was grinding out the result of a late assign- ment. Several of us who had no work to do sat around a table near the centre of the room and whiled away the time by telling stories and playing jokes on each other. The office boy” ran here and there with copy, and employed his spare time teas- ing the office cat. which was vainly endeavoring to go to sleep on the deserted city desk.” Suddenly the gong over the door struck twice, and then three more, and the office boy jotted down 23 on a blackboard opposite the night desk, and wrote under it Cor. Richmond—Martin.” and heaved a ball of paper at the cat. An instant later the gong struck twice, and then three, to be imme- diately followed bv four! A four-alarm fire! In an instant the quiet room was the scene of the liveliest bustle. Here, all you men.” cried the night editor, get out on that.” and he almost threw the fire badges in our faces. Meanwhile the office boy had rushed off to the art department, or. rather, the department for the suppression of art. and we were soon joined by three artists, armed, like our- selves, with badges, and carrying, in addition, blocks of paper on which to sketch, and, in less time than it takes to tell, the editorial room was cleared of all save the night editor,” the desk men.” the office boy,” and the office cat.” When tiie crowd” gained the street it separated. every man taking the route he thought would bring him first to the scene of action, and I found myself running down a side street, with an artist panting beside me. He was an especially good friend of mine named Don, and we decided to stick together if it were possible. As luck would have it, we were almost run down by a cab, which we stopped and boarded. Our first intimation that we were approaching the fire was the faint hum from the throbbing steam fire engines and the thick, black, heavy smoke that began to sweep by 11s in heavy clouds. Suddenly the cab stopped. Surely we had not gotten there yet. So we sat and waited. Wc could hear the driver talking loudly and rapidly, but could not understand him on account of the violence of the wind. Suddenly the door of the cab was thrown open, and the cabman informed us that the horse was frightened and would go no farther. We paid him his fare and hurried on. Directly in front of us we could now faintly discern a lurid glare through the smoke, and the sound of voices reached our ears. Soon we met people running in the same direction as ourselves, and these increased so rapidly that they became a compact crowd through which we were obliged to force ourselves, until we were suddenly brought to a halt by a rope stretched across the way. A brief parley with a police officer and we were “inside the ropes.” We were now on the scene of action, and the real work was about to begin. The scene before us was at once grand and terrible ; the smoke and flames shot high into the air from a large dry goods es- tablishment. and the wind swept it toward a large rubber factory near by. The two were separated only by a narrow street. The dry goods building was already doomed, and the firemen were devoting their effort toward saving the surrounding build- ings. Don and I made our way across the square, step- ping gingerly over swelling hose, making wide de- tours around those streams of water that left the hose bv other means than through the nozzles, and arrived in front of the rubber factory T have before mentioned. Wc decided to enter this building and sec what sort of a view could be gained from the roof. We ran up the stairs, taking three at a step, and arrived out of breath on the top floor, directly be- neath a skylight. Through this we crawled, and moved to that side of the roof from which the best view of the fire could be obtained. The wind swept across the roof swiftly, and we buttoned our coats tightly and pulled our hats down over our eyes. 1 sat down on the roof and leaned forward as much as it was possible to do without becoming cramped, and Don sat behind me and used my back for a table on which to lay his block while he sketched. While he was working I had ample opportunity 220 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. to see what was passing before me. The fire was at its height, and the flames shot high into the air, only to be bent by the wind, which swept away the smoke and sparks, leaving my view of the fire unob- structed. Three large buildings were blazing, and beyond them were the ruins of one that had already fallen. Below me was the street: a network of hose and ladders, and the shouts of the firemen and the murmurs of the crowd came floating up to me distinctly, even above the roar of the hre. Behind me all was black. The building across the street would soon fall. Even as I looked the roof caved in and sent up a shower of sparks that rivaled me costliest of fireworks in grandeur. ()ne by one the walls crumbled away, leaving standing only the four corners, which continued to blaze. Don at length finished his sketch, and we pre- pared to quit the roof. He was in front of me. and arrived first at the skylight. He put nis head through, and drew it back quickly with an exclama- tion of surprise. I looked through the opening, and a chill passed over me. The building was filled with smoke! Yc «lid not know whether the fire- had as yet taken a firm hold on it. or whether it had just caught. At any rate, if we remained on the roof we were trapped, and the quicker we started to get out. the better our chances of success would be. We crawled through the skylight and began tnc descent. At first we got along all right, but as wo continued, the smoke thickened. Evidently the fire was on one of the lower floors. By the time we had gone down three flights the smoke had become so dense that we were forced to grope our way along, and. in order to keep together. Don bound his left arm to my right. We began to smell burn- ing rubber. The smell was sickening, and my head began to throb and I felt giddy. Suddenlv Don gave a lurch, and I lost my footing, and together we rolled down the remainder of that flight of stairs. We were both badly bruised, but that fall proved to be our salvation. We discovered that the smoke was not as thick close to the floor, and also that the sickening smell of rubber was not as strong. We crawled to the next landing on our hands and knees, keeping our noses close to the floor like two bloodhounds. In order to save time, we rolled down the next flight of stairs. We continued our downward way, crawling, stag- gering. rolling, and choking, until we knew that we must be on the first floor. We could hear a faint crackling near us. and knew by the intense heat that that fire itself was close at hand. As we crawled around the corner of a counter, we came face to face with it. 1'he odor of the burning rubber was now frightful, and the floor was too hot for us to crawl on any longer. We staggered to our feet and rushed hlindiv forward. I tried to call for help, but the smoke muffled the sound of my voice so that it c arried only a few feet. Then we struck something. There was a terrible crash and a rush of cold wind, and I felt myself pitching forward, with Don be- neath me and dragging me down. The next thing I knew I found myself in a cool room, lying on a blanket. My hands and wrists were cut. and there was a bandage bound tightly around mv head. There were several people around me. including some of the fellows from the paper. Don was lying a little way from me on another blanket. A minute later we were both on our feet, and after we had taken some water, we were escorted to a cab. On the way to the office we were told that we fell out through one of the big plate glass windows of the rubber store almost into the arms of some fire- men who were laying a line of hose to the building, and had been carried by them to another which was in no great danger of taking fire. We were two sorry specimens when we reported to the night editor with the rest of the fellows that night. He looked ns over from head to foot, not- ing the bandages, the cuts, and our wet and dirty clothes. We told him what had happened in as few words as possible. He listened attentively, and when we had finished resumed his work. “You two fellows had better lake to-morrow off.” was all he said, and the office boy played fire with the office cat. 1. Life.

By cMaude Knapp, E., ’01. 11E sun had set in a blaze of glory, and darkness came quickly down before the last bright rays had faded away. Wrapped in the gloom of falling night stood a small cottage. A young girl stood in the doorway, one hand shading her eyes as she gazed anxiously into the gloom. “How late father is! she said with a sigh. “What can he keeping him? This young girl. May Davis, lived alone with her father in a small cottage about two miles from the little village of A--. They were poor people, and depended on the products of their little farm for their living. At the time of the illness and death of May’s mother, their i oor little funds gave out, and Mr. Davis had been compelled to mortgage the farm. The following years had-been hard ones for both May and her father, but now. after the strict- est economy, the money to raise it was in their pos- session. and on the morrow was to be paid to the mortgagee. Mr. Davis had gone to the village that morning on business, intending to return during the after- noon. He had been very undecided as to whether he should take the money with him, or leave it with May. The house was situated in a very lonely place, the nearest neighbor living two miles distant. Hut as very few people passed by the house, and a tramp had hardly ever been seen in that location, Mr. Davis finally decided to leave the treasure with his daughter. This was a final decision reached after taking the reins in his hand and seating him- self in his buggy. Here, May. he said, guess you'd better take this money, after all: I might lose it or something happen to it. Hide it in some good place, and it will be safer with you than with me. As he gave her the package, neither of them saw the man standing almost hidden by the thick bushes a little to the left of the cottage. After the departure of Mr. Davis. May carefully hid the money under a loose board in a large closet opening out of the kitchen. The day had passed uneventfully. May busying herself with her house- hold duties. lien the sun had set and it had begun to grow dark. May became somewhat anxious and lonely, and, going to the door, looked into the gloom, hoping to see her father returning. He was not in sight, however, so, after watching until she could distinguish nothing in the blackness of the night, she went into the house and began to prepare supper. Suddenly she heard a rap at the door, and, in opening it, a pistol was thrust in her face, and a man's voice said. Get me your money, gal; quick, now. and no fooling. I know you've got it, ’cause I saw the old man give it to ye. Step lively, now. or I II shoot. For a moment May could not m ve: it seemed as though her heart had stopped beating. Suddenly a plan Hashed through her mind. Silently she led the way to the closet, and, stooping, tried, though unsuccessfully, to lift the board. After watching her for two or three min- utes. the man pushed her away roughly, I’ll get it if it is under there: mind, no fooling, now. As he stooped to raise the lx ard. his revolver dropped to the floor. Quick as a flash May seized it, and. rushing from the room, locked the door after her She was not an instant t x soon. The man threw his weight against the door, uttering frightful oaths and curses. May. seeing that the door would soon break without any support, piled all the movable furniture against it. At last her courage was almost gone. Would any one ever come?” Each moment, as the man threw his weight against the door, it cracked and seemed about to break. Just then a carriage came quickly into the yard, and May heard her father «•all her name. She rushed to the door and told him quickly of her capture of the thief and his efforts to free himself. Here is the revolver, father, dear. she concluded. I'll see to him now. child. said Mr. Davis. My good, brave girl, you ha e saved the money which really means our home. A RESULT OF WAR. By Edna E. Sorter. X aged, silver-haired grandmother sat by a fireside in Vermont, dividing her attention between an inquisitive grandchild of twelve years at her feet and a large pile of socks, which were being magically transformed by the careful needlework of old Mrs. Hubbard. Yes. dearie. 1 have decided to allow you to put your little note into the toe of one of these stock- ings. Xo, no. I won't read it. It will probably cheer the heart of some homesick soldier there in the South, and we will never hear from it. So write, to your heart's content. Accordingly a simple little note was written by- Hazel. telling of her life on the farm, her duties, her pets. and. above all. the kindness of her grand- mother. and how many stories she had told her of soldiers’ heroic deeds. She described the stir- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 222 roundings of her home, and explained that she had never traveled from Vermont, but much desired to do so. An aunt in New York had promised, when her twentieth birthday arrived, with it should come a visit to New York. Hazel patiently waited. Along with the clothing, balsams, and thoughtful goodies sent to the South, tucked deep into the toe of a well-darned stocking, lay Hazel's note, bear- ing the same address as the box, ‘‘For Jack Green.” I lazel thought little more of the note, but wondered sometimes if its purpose had been accomplished. Unusually enthusiastic over the war reports, for a girl, because of the interest and influence of her grandmother—her only mother—she eagerly read news of victories and relief of our soldiers. The war dragged on, year after year, with few definite results, until, when Hazel was seventeen, the country was astir with news of the troops’ return. Jack Green, a volunteer, whose home was at a small town near Boston, returned a wreck, physi- cally. War was over, and with it all the lad’s en- ergy and health had gone. He was unable to work, and was advised to leave the city for a visit to the country. Such was most extraordinary, for Jack was once a rugged, strong young man, fond of all sports, a general favorite. Thus he was packed off to Vermont to regain appetite, strength, and everything he once owned; but all these he simply left to Nature’s care, and what he ques- tioned, sought after, dreamed of was—the author of that tiny note. Now he was nearer its writer,— in her very state. Yes, his aunt was even a neigh- bor to Mrs. Hubbard, and of course he must go to thank her for her kind gifts. He found her such a friend to all, especially a soldier, but she was less happy than usual because Hazel, the sunshine of that Vermont farm, was in New York. Her visit was soon to be at an end, however, and then in the spring the home would be cheerful again. Jack and Mrs. Hubbard soon became old friends, and he patiently awaited Hazel's return—Hazel, whose life he now knew entirely. Three years later the soldier and Hazel Hubbard sat side by side on the deck of one of the large steamers of the Hudson River line, returning to Vermont, after a wedding journey of two weeks in York state. Hazel thought of her home, her grandma, and her cherished friends who would wel- come her to her new position. Jack sat pensively, with his eyes fixed upon the water. This scene re- called camp life to him, with its unpleasant duties and loneliness. ‘‘Hazel,” he said, did you ever consider what good results came by that war? See what a change, even now, is taking place in the civilization of our country.” “Yes, Jack,” came the reply, not so serious, there were many results, both good and bad. Hvcn this was all the result of a small thing—a note in the toe of a stocking, but had there been no war, there might have been no results.” OUTWARD BOUND! (Class Poem.) AUSTIN M. WORKS. L.. ‘01.

ATHI-TON-KATIH is a peculiar title for the most charming estate on the Hudson river, but no one dares doubt the absolute propriety of its owner, the Hon. Henry Hamilton Gordon, indulging whatever eccentricities he may possess. The Hon. Henry Hamilton, be it understood, is a man of millions, and who ever had the audacity to criticise the actions of a millionaire, except, perhaps, a soulless reporter? But plain Mr. Gordon, five feet, ten inches, light complexion, blue eves. I So pounds, is a very happy man, who is excessively fond of his handsome residence and everything connected with it. There are broad, grassy lawns, broken here and there by bits of woodland and delightful little ponds, where the cooling waters are cast up in tumbling fountains. But the greatest treasure of Kathi-ton-Kathi is the lovely matron who is its presiding genius. She is a charming woman of medium height, very dark, and acknowledging a pair of deep, sombre eyes, so typical of the sunny South. Her wealth of black hair surrounds her well-formed, but peculiarly cast, features, and her whole appearance is slightly sug- gestive of a fascinating foreign element. The mil- lionaire owner fully appreciates his wife's beauty and accomplishments, and he reverences her as one sent bv a divine providence. The man had been sitting lazily on the park bench for some time. The casual observer would have pronounced him asleep, but, on the contrary, his keen eyes carefully noted all that lay in his range of vision. It was cool and shady beneath the green, leafy tree, and he only envied the passers-by because they were presumably headed toward a square meal. He rose and stretched him- self. and his eyes twinkled merrily as he glanced at his shoes, and observed, Guess I'll have to cat you and go barefoot ' He presented a sufficiently rc spectable appearance, but those shoes told a long talc of dusty roads and no freights. He usually called himself Gordon—good as any name, al- though at that moment he would willingly be bap- tized to accommodate anybody for a sandwich. His occupation, his walk in life—well, all over the world, but in grandiloquent moments he was pleased to refer to himself as a gentleman adventurer. ( n his right arm was a long, white scar: he went all the wav to India for that precious souvenir. He also carried with him on all occasions some very interesting remembrances of a circumstance that ncarlv occasioned a South African barbecue. What combination of events had placed him on a park bench in God's own country he neither knew nor cared. The most evident fact was that he was both hungry and broke, two very unfortu- nate circumstances when they are coincident. He lazilv reached down and picked up a paper that the gentle summer breeze had wafted toward him. As he was uninterested in marriages, suicides, murders, or scandals, he was disgusted at his useless ex- penditure of energy, until his eye rested on the fol- lowing advertisement:— Wanted—Man about five feet, ten inches, light complexion, blue eyes, 180 pounds. Must be strong and willing to take desperate chances. Can- didates will walk by Davidson statue to-night be- tween 'LL� and 7 50 holding copy of paper in left hand. Large reward. Five foot ten, light complex---that fellow took an awful roundabout way to say Gordon, the man muttered as lie jumped up. The opportunity for adventure roused his slumbering energies, and he felt tiiat peculiar tingling in his veins that once made him lead a folorn hope against a Chinese regiment. Gordon followed directions. lie glanced neither to right nor left as lie passed the ap- pointed place, but he had hardly proceeded a hun- dred feet, when he was interrupted by I beg your pardon, sir. but have you lost anything?’’ He turned quickly and met a woman’s worried fea- tures and a pair of searching eyes. She looked like a lady’s maid, and Gordon studied her face be- fore replying, Do you notice that I carry this paper in my left hand? It is all right, she replied, follow me. They cut across the grass and walked swiftly and in silence through the long avenue of trees. Sud- denly she stopped, and. nervously grasping his arm, whispered. Keep close to me. When I run. you run, too.” They went on as before until, arriving before the doorway of a large house, she turned abruptly, and. running swiftly up the steps, they plunged through the door. She led the way up a (light of stairs and gave three short and three long raps on the door at the head. The lock slid back, and a voice was heard in a strange tongue. She opened the door, pushed Gordon in before her. and shut it quickly with a bang. It was pitch dark, and Gordon could not help muttering to himself as he heard the bolts drawn with a snap. Wonder what kind of a game this is. anyway. The woman grasped his arm tightly, and. saying. Come. led him into an ad- joining room. She motioned him to be seated, and. leaning against a table on the other side, surveyed him critically for some time. Well. Gordon broke in. you know why I came, will you kindly tell me where I am? l-.xcuse me. no: it’s hardly necessary. I think you’ll do all right if you’re willing to take chances. By the wav. what is your name? Rcallv. I don’t think mv name is of any conse- quence,” Gordon replied. I'm nothing but an ad- venturer. but I've been in some pretty tight places, 224 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. am! I'm willing to take all kinds of chances for the money. Of course, if it’s long chances, it’s big money.” 1 undestand perfectly,” she said, “but you must make your decision now. The risk is great, the re- ward is large. Just how large I am not at liberty to state, but as for the risk, 1 tell you frankly that you may lose your life.” Gordon emitted a long, low whistle. “And what. he inquired, is the nature?” ! cannot tell that. she interrupted. I can simply say that you possess the necessary physical qualifications, and you don’t look like a coward.” Thank you,” murmured Gordon. Don’t bother,” she replied; “if you don’t care to take chances, just say so now, as any decision you may make will be considered as final.” Gordon rose and paced the little room with his head down and his hands in his pockets. The earnestness of the woman’s tone presented the affair seriously to him. He stopped and gazed at a pic- ture of a group of merry children playing in the grass. It I refuse, I go? he asked. Xo.” she said: it would be death to leave tnis house. Oh!” he muttered. Again he looked at the picture, all the while tap- ping his foot nervously on the floor. Life,” he thought, with supper is sweet, but without sup- per is---- Gordon turned and scanned the girl’s appealing face. Is it—big—sure money?” he in- quired softly. Sure money,” she echoed. 1 accept the offer. he said simply, and he turned and again gazed at the picture. Pardon me,” he asked, but have you anything to eat?” She did not reply, but walked softly to the other side of the room and rapped at the door. It opened noiselessly, as if by an invisible hand, and, motion- ing Gordon to enter, she announced in a ciear, ring- ing voice: Ilis Koval Highness, King of Serentia. Mr.-----” Gordon.” shouted the individual in question. A richlv-drcssed man of Gordon’s height, build, and complexion advanced, and. grasping his hand, exclaimed, Delighted to meet you, Mr. Gordon. Mr. Gordon, allow me to present you to my daugh- ter. the Princess.” Gordon bowed low to a beautiful young lady who rose from a couch. Her abundance of black hair, her large, soft eyes, her peculiar fascinating features stamped her as a true daughter of the Southern sun. Gordon sat down. and. hurriedly glancing about the finelv-fumished apartment, no- ticed a brace of pistols, ready for action, on the table near his kingship’s hand. You understand the nature of your task? in- quired the king, as he critically surveyed the adven- turer. 1 understand nothing.” replied Gordon, “except that I have given my word to engage in an enter- prise in which I stand to lose—my life, or to win— a fortune.” “Good!” ejaculated the king, good! well said, well said. My daughter and I arc in a peculiat situation. I will explain the circumstances. You arc, Mr. Gordon-----” A traveling gentleman,” Gordon replied, lie almost fell that the Princess was looking at his shoes. Father,” she exclaimed, have you not had enough of adventurers? W hy do you trust him. unknown, and a mere hireling who goes to the High- est bidder?” Gordon admired her as she stood thus at her full height, enveloped in a long robe, richly embroid- ered in queer golden characters, and stared haughtily at him. jt makes no difference,” the king replied angrily, we will pay-----” Excuse me.” Gordon interrupted curtly as he rose, 1—1 am a gentleman. If you cannot trust me. I'd better, better---” and then he became confused and blushed. The Princess’ countenance softened, and Gordon remained standing until she sat down. The king simply smiled, and started his story. 1 am,” he said, or. rather, I was until last Tuesday, the high and mighty king of Serentia. My father, an American adventurer, instituted a rebellion some years ago and acquired the king- ship. An earthquake occurred near the end of the rebellion that destroyed the major part of his ad- versary's army. In a large fissure that was formed some natives found a handsome, brilliant stone, the Kathi-ton-Kathi diamond.” I've heard of it, gasped Gordon, in China, in India----” Everywhere. interrupted the king, it's reputa- tion is world wide. The ignorant natives, however, could not appreciate its value, although its bril- liancy and beauty struck them dumb with wonder. They believed my father was sent by Mahkida. their great god of iron, who they think is alone superior to Simali. the evil one. They gave him the stone, and tlie medicine men declared that whoever pos- sessed it should rule and prosper. At my birth I was worshipped as a true Mahki child by virtue of my blue eves and light complexion, an inherit- ance from my father. A wise and peaceful rule dis- tinguished my father's reign, but when 1 was nine- teen he was poisoned by a jealous native chief. T took the field in the rebellion that followed, and with mv own hands I, a boy of nineteen, slew the traitor and avenged my father’s death. In my hour of triumph I seized his favorite daughter and made her my wife. Although a king among men. I was unhappy. After a few years my wife died, and re- bellions and plottings became more frequent. Mv life was sought many times! and I have constantly feared assassination for years. The superstition about the almost priceless diamond served onlv to enhance its value, and many attempts were made to discover its hiding place. A few years ago an Eng- lish adventurer, after an unsuccessful suit for mv daughter’s hand, became leader of the opposition party. Mv affairs at length became so involved that I determined to depart at the first favorable SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 225 opportunity with my diamond and as much national currency as I could collect. With this end in view, I secretly chartered the swift steamer yacht Dream- land. and engaged this private house. My plan was to reach New York quickly, stay here for one- night. and then disappear into the great West with my fortune. Last Monday at midnight my daugh- ter. her governess, and I. accompanied by the Kathi-ton-Kathi diamond and §500,000 in national currency, took the royal launch and boarded the Dreamland, which lay waiting outside the harbor. Ml went well. when, within a few hours of New York, an accident to the engines necessitated con- siderable delay and the services of a tug. It did not surprise me in the least to see my Englishman and three natives waiting on the pier. 1 felt that I had better drive here immediately, and I instructed the governess to slip away among the crowd and secure the services of a strong, trustworthy man at any price. They followed my carriage, and smiled malignantly as I stepped into the house. They dared not attack me then, but if I had attempted to escape, they would have killed me. Now you have my story.” “And.” said Gordon, “you want to get out ol here with the stone and the money?” Yes.” the king replied, “and my plan is as fol- lows : You are as near my coital in physical charac- teristics as a man can be. I want you to make a rush for it. They will think it is T. and will seize you. Meanwhile I make good mv escape, with my treasure and----” “The Princess,” interrupted Gordon. “Is perfectly safe. the king replied. “They only want me. and. besides, both she and the governess arc well schooled in the use of weapons.” “And,” Gordon suggested, “for this little act—” “I’ll give you ten thousand,” said the king, inter- rupting. “Might as well make it ten million.” Gordon growled. “Sav. give that pile to some hospital, will you ?” “Father.” said the Princess, “please don’t go. Give them the diamond: we have plenty and don't need it. any wav. You might get killed, and—Mr. —Gordon-------” “Must die some time.” continued that worthy. “Come.” said the king, “it’s disagreeable busi- ness. and the sooner over the better.” Tie took a small package from under the table and carefully placed it in his pocket. He then asked the Princess to pin the pocket, and. closely buttoning his coat, lie gave a long, straight knife to Gordon, and 00k a pistol in his own hand. “You’ll have to take this.” lie observed. “A gun would attract too much attention.” Gordon took the knife and walked about ner- vottslv. TTis eyes shone with a peculiar light, and he kept glancing at the Princess, who bravely at- tempted to conceal her uneasiness. “All readv?” inquired the king. “All readv.” Gordon replied, grinning the knife hard, and standing very straight. The king kissed the Princess affectionately, and then she looked straight into Gordon's face, and, grasping his hand, said slowly, Good luck, Mr. Gordon.” Suddenly she pulled a ring from her finger, and exclaimed, Mere—take this—it will bring vou good fortune. Thank you.” Gordon stammered, trembling and blushing. Hut lie again straightened up, and said to himself. It's rather nice to die.” The two men stood side by side, and. looking straight into each other’s eyes, shook hands for a brief instant. Then the king opened the door. Through the little room, through the dark room, down the stairs they went. They stopped a second at the outside door. Heaven help you.” muttered the king. Gordon felt the ring in his pocket, gripped his knife hard, motioned the king to (ling open the door. and. taking a long, deep breath, hurled him- self into the night. Something black rose before him : he struck at it with his knife, he heard a weird cry and hurrying feet. He lunged again with his knife, always forcing himself forward. Some one grabbed his arm. something warm trickled down his neck, he fell, and as he went down a voice seemed to say, “Good luck—Mr. Gordon.” The next thing Gordon knew he opened his eyes as he heard a sweet voice say, “You’re all right, but please lie verv still.’ Three summers later Gordon saw a man in the Tampa Bav hotel who looked familiar. The man might have been his brother, but when Gordon ex- claimed. “My dear sir. how do you do?” the stranger refused the proffered hand, and coldly re- marked. T fear you arc mistaken.” T beg your pardon, but T think not.” Gordon replied, “unless I am decidedly mistaken. T per- formed rather an exciting service for you in New York about three years ago.” “T have never been in New York.” the stranger rejoined as he turned away. Gordon grasped his shoulder. “Do you know this?” he exclaimed, as he held out a beautiful ring. “Please don’t force me to do anything unpleasant.” “Mv dear friend Gordon.” said the stranger with a smile, as he extended his hand, “vou arc as per- sistent as mv daughter.

EXCHANGE NOTEi y. . d a With this issue of the Radiator, wc leave our duties to our successors: the struggles with the rolled Exchanges, the sickening tales of blighted love, the eye-dazzling and brain-fever-giving covers, the hurry to get in “copy on time. But the un- pleasant things arc so few that they arc forgotten when wc think of the pleasant ones. Until now we have not appreciated what the Exchange work has been to us. The duties were new and strange when we first took them up; they have become a part of the great and memorable” joy of the last year in high school.” We have read and reproved or praised, until each paper was waited for and greeted with interest, like a friend whom we knew to be true and frank in stat- ing opinions. The addition or improvement of covers, cuts, print, literary matter, and department work has proved the benefit of the Exchange sys- tem. Besides help in the management of the differ- ent papers, wc (and those others who have read the Exchanges) have learned what is being done for amusement and improvement (physical and mental) in the other parts of our country. The more seri- ous college papers have given us a glimpse of that fascinating and earnest life to which some of us look forward, and of which the mere accounts have a refining influence. Wc leave all this to other heads and hands, con- fident that their interested enjoyment of the work will not be less than ours has been; thanking all the Exchange editors for giving us the opportunity of seeing their papers, for which we prophesy greater improvement in the future; sincerely hop- ing that those who have been connected with or in- terested (in any way) in them may also meet with all possible success. This. then, is our last word to the contemporaries of the Somerville High School Radiator. The May Radiator from New Haven is better than some college papers which wc receive. Hill- house seems to have more than its share of poetic geniuses. The May Racquet was the “best yet.” We hope the June number will be even better still.

There is little of real literary value in the Phono- graph for May.

We have had several occasions during the past year or two to witness the clever manner in which several young men essayed the parts of fair ladies. Their success is well known. It is of late, however, that some of our young ladies have undertaken to enact the parts of swaggering gentlemen of the eighteenth century style. The repetition of their capital production of The Rivals by the Comedy Club of the English High at Unitarian hall on the evening of May H was most certainly a complete success. The chief diffi- culty which a woman encounters in assuming the dress and part of a man is in throwing herself so completely into the character that not for a moment, by inflection, action, or gesture, does she betray the fact that it is a woman playing a man’s part. While in nearly every instance this was accomplished by those who played in The Rivals, yet, in the case of the one who played the double role of Fay and David it was especially complete. If they did not all make the illusion absolutely perfect is no adverse criticism, as it takes great actors sometimes many years to throw themselves into a character so perfectly that they lose their own personality. While the acting cannot be called faultless, it was so extremely good that it merits nothing but high- est praise. Compared with plays given before by high school talent, it may be truly. said that it eclipsed any yet given this year. The part of Sir Anthony Absolute, taken by Miss Prichard, showed a careful and studied apprecia- tion of the character, which she rendered admir- ably. Her make-up was so good that her own friends failed to recognize her. Miss Troclm, who assumed the role and military dress of Captain Jack Absolute, played the part of the romantic lover in a charming and pleasing man- ner, and her military bearing was noticeably fine. Miss Landes, in the part of the ever humorous Hob Acres, was a decided credit to the character, playing it in a way which might well cause the great Jefferson to fee! that genius will not die with him. The unfortunate Sir Lucius O’Trigger, who suf- fered so badly by the schemes of the artful Lucy, was well taken and played by Miss Smith. The character of the melancholy Irishman certainly did not sutler at her hands. The double role of Fag and David, as played by Miss Iiemis, while not a leading part, was yet played in a manner that bars criticism. Mrs. Malaprop, with her laughable use of mis- used words, and her stern manner, furnished a large part of the humor of the evening, and was artistic- ally played by Miss Marceau. Her niece, Miss Languish, the romantic maiden and heroine, was charmingly played by Miss Horton. Miss Wing, who assumed the role of the deceit- ful, artful Lucy, and later donned the dress of a gentleman in the part of Faulkland, had ample op- portunity to show her ability as an amateur actress. The part of Boy, though but a minor character, yet gave Miss Vincent an opportunity to show what might be expected of her in a more prominent role. Between the first and second scenes of Act II. M iss Ella 1 Surgess rendered a beautiful violin solo, accompanied oil the piano by Miss M. Louise Bur- gess. Miss Iva Grant, as pianist, won much well- deserved applause for selections rendered between acts. 1'he excellent success of the play is largely due to Miss I'.da L. Xichols, who coached the girls, and was business manager of the play. The name of Miss Xichols is a sufficient guarantee of the success of any enterprise with which it is connected. Dr. Clock acted as stage manager. The play was a decided success, and received only the highest approval of those who were fortunate enough to secure seats. “Bachelor Hall. “Bachelor Hall. The very name brings to our minds stage settings, rouge, pretty faces, sober Seniors blossomed into swaggering comedians and melodramatic actors, an enthusiastic, appreciative audience, sweet music, and the great number of other things characteristic of a farce comedy such as was given by a select cast from the High Schools in Unitarian hall on the evening of May •2!). From start to finish it was a series of ridicu- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. 231 Ions situations and humorous speeches. It was certainly the most amusing play given by a high school cast this year. Our limited space forbids that we should write a criticism on the players; in fact, there is but one criticism to make on all of them, and that is that they deserve only our highest praise and congratu- lations for the way in which they rendered their parts. There was a rush to the play that is espe- cially to be commended. In fact, there was some- thing to laugh at all of the time. In this respect it reminded one of the mock trial given by the E. II. S. Associates last year. It is in reality a characteristic of all of the plays which Dr. Clock has coached. This popular manager and amateur comedian was obliged to assume, at a moment's notice, the role left vacant by the sudden illness of Guy Moses. Mr. Clock is certainly to be compli- mented on the pleasing manner in which he ren- dered this difficult part without previous practice. As the east of characters was printed last month, we will omit it in this number, and give only the names of those who acted as ushers: Misses Ger- trude F. Vinton, Eva Lewis, Helen E. True, Hazel Dennett. Helen L. McGann, Bessie M. Wcstgate, and Rosamond C. Williams. Music was furnished by Miss Lillian Goulston, pianist. It is the last play to be given by a high school cast this year, but we hope the schools will run many another in the near future. Mr. Baxter's Reception. The Senior class of the Latin School were given an informal reception by Mr. Baxter at his home on Warren avenue Saturday evening, May 11. Al- most the entire class were present, and a delightful time was reported by all. The class were received by Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, after which a social hour was enjoyed, interrupted by a bountiful collation. We then heard the class poem by Austin M. Works, the history by Mary S. l’iper and Ashton R. Sanborn, and the prophecies by Nathalie E. Kinsman and Robert Bennett, all of which deserve much praise. Music was furnished during the evening by Miss Wcstgate, Miss Mellow, and Miss Kinsman. Mr. Whitcomb's Reception. In joyful compliance with an invitation from our principal, Mr. Whitcomb, the class of 1901 assem- bled at his house on Friday evening, May 31, to have a jolly, sociable time.” The affair was a success from the word go: nearly every member of the class was present, and every one was allowed to whisper. The young ladies looked stunning” in their party dresses. Indeed, it is not probable that they will look as well even on the night of their graduation; at any rate, they cannot look better. The young men looked at the young ladies. Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb received, ably assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Avery. 'File festivities proper of the evening commenced with the singing of a song from our old friend the VEutcrpean. Then the history of the class of 1901 was read by Howard Allen. How unlike the histories of the United States and of Greece it was! Full of humor, fact, and fancy, it showed what a Senior was capable of doing. A few more songs were sung, and then came the second great event of the evening—the class prophecy. Mr. Moore and Miss Prichard must have burned gallons of midnight oil in concocting that marvelous work. It was really very clever, the introduction of the telephone by-play added to the interest, and all of the hits were very apt and amusing. After the class prophecy had been read and ap- plauded, the class ode was sung, following which refreshments were served. During the course of the evening, the class, for the first time in its his- tory. disobeyed a known request of the head master, and. through President Whitaker, presented Mr. Whitcomb with a cut-glass pitcher, lest he forget.” That we had a delightful time goes without say- ing, and the class takes this opportunity of thank- ing Mr. Whitcomb for his kindness to them, and, by the way, here is a little tip for the under class men: Stick to the school until you have been to Mr. Whitcomb’s house, and then you will wish that you could stick longer. Pan-American Exposition. One ol the most entertaining and delightful ex- positions ever planned is the 011c now being held at Buffalo, for it is distinctively a new world product. Every one should see this exposition, as it is an education, as well as an entertainment. II. W. Poor, sub-master of the English High School, has arranged two first-class excursions, in- cluding a side trip to Niagara halls. Any one contemplating a visit to the fair would do well to address Mr. Poor at 34 Bow street, Som- erville. or call on him there Tuesday or Thursday afternoons, from 1 to o o’clock. Resolution. I'Fhe resolutions adopted by the class of 1904, Latin School. | Whereas, in accordance with the divine will of God. our dear classmate, Lillian Ricker, has been bereaved of her beloved mother; and Whereas, we. the class of 1901, have learned with great sorrow of her affliction: be it therefore Resolved, that we hereby tender to her our most heartfelt sympathy in her loss. And be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to Miss Ricker, and printed in the High School Radiator. HERBERT ASA COLE, JR.. President. HELEN M AR DEN. Secretary. 232 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR. AMONG THE CLUBS. The Athletic Association has been through another year of success, and has seen both the foot- ball and baseball teams victorious. This association claims the support of both schools, and has for its object the promotion and carrying on of clean, manly, atnletic sports. One or two meetings have been held in the lec- ture hall of the English High building this year, and important business transacted. The officers of the association are: President, Alexander Graham, L., ’01; vice-president, Chester S. Whitaker, ’01; secretary, Y. 1). Eaton, E., ’ol ; treasurer. Harry 'Is. Jones, sub-master in the English School. On June 1, 15)00, eight young ladies of the class of 1901, E. II. S., organized the secret society known as the T. S. O. Club. The char- ter members were Misses Hyde, Keefe, Read, Knapp, Morse, Ricker, Frazer, and Dawson. Later two new members, Misses Crocker and Ycrxa, were admitted to the club. The officers were as follows: President. Miss Hvde; vice-president, Miss Keefe; secretary, Miss Dawson; treasurer. Miss Read. These officers were re-elected for the year 11)01-1902. The club historian will be Miss Morse; the prophets, Misses Knapp and Dawson. The initia- tions arc still remembered in the vicinity of Davis square. Meetings have been held throughout the year, and these have strengthened the friendships and en- deared the club to all members. The club enter- tained their gentlemen friends for the first time on Hallowe’en; again, at whist, on December 7: and. as a final success, came the dancing party, on March 12. Arrangements are being made for a lawn fete, to be given in the latter part of June, which bids fair to be as pleasant an occasion as have been the other entertainments. The T. S. O. Club is one of the most flourishing of the High School societies, and intends to meet during the year 1901-1902 as regu- larly as in the past, although the majority of the members are in the graduating class. And as we do not know the significance of the mysterious ini- tials (the secret of which, in spite of their sex. they have never divulged), we feel prompted to quote from the annual club song, which was sung at the annual meeting on June 1:— Again the roses blow. June’s cloudless sky below; With joyous acclamation We sing our praises free; We’ll ever loyal be, Dear T. S. O., to thee, And never shall thy name meet reproach or blame. On Thursday evening, June G, a new High School society was organized. It is composed of the eleven original French pupils of Miss Marvel, and that amiable instructor as honorary member.” The object of the club is to increase the interest of its members in the French language, and promote their social relations. The meetings will be held monthly at the homes of the members, and as Miss Marvel has consented to continue her teachings. many happy evenings are contemplated during the coming winter. The first meeting was held at the home of Miss Isabel McCoy, lit) Central street, and a delightful evening was spent. The organization is as follows: President, S. 15. Roberts; vice-president, Miss Isabel McCoy; secretary and treasurer, George E. Liscomb. The S. E. H. S. (1902) Debating Society has closed its second year of successful work. Several important subjects have been discussed in the past year.—whether or not the president should be elected by direct vote, whether or not the United States should own and control the Nicaragua canal, and others, but perhaps the most momentous was the following:— Resolved, that trusts are beneficial to the people. The victory was given to the affirmative. The present officers are: President. George Smith: vice-president. Milbury II. Ryder; sccrc- tarv. Gorham W. Harris; and treasurer, Gertrude M I lallett. One of the most popular clubs in our High Schools is the E. B. L. Club, composed of several young ladies of the classes of � 2 and ’03. (Jrganized in September, 1899, for the purpose of promoting social interests, it has in every way achieved its object. During the two vears of its existence the young ladies have en- joyed manv theatre parties, home entertainments, and short excursions, aside from the regular meet- ings. In April a silver loving cup was won from the Ouindonian Club for superiority in whist. The club motto is: Not so bad as we seem. President. F. L.

The Phi Sigma Society, organi z e d September, 1898, claims the distinction of being the first Greek letter fraternity in the High School, the only other club existing at that time being the Camera Club. Every club has its specialty, and, although simply formed to promote good fellowship, the Phi Sigma boys took up theatricals as their hobby, and were the pioneers of this branch of amusement in the High School. Their first production, “Our Hoys,” in the spring oi 1899, was a decided success, both artistically and financially, and reduced an experiment to a cer- tainty. Their second play, For One Night Only.” win- ter of 1900, was also heartily received by the public. During the past season the club has produced no plays as a unit, but. however, all the members have been identified individually with some production more or less pretentious. MEMBERS. C. H. Brown.

The Comedy Club, although a new organization, is already well known. This club came into prominence through its production of “The Rivals in April and May, which brought sev- eral new stars in amateur theatricals be- fore the public. The following is the list of mem- bers: Miss Eda L. Nichols, Miss Emma E. Prichard. Miss Florence L. Bemis, Miss Alice F. Trochu. Miss Mary L. Smith, Miss Elizabeth 15. Landers. Miss Grace Wing, Miss Irene Horton. Miss Laura Marccau, and Miss S. M. Vincent. The Phi Delta boys were credited by the Boston Journal with having the fastest high school basket ball team around Boston. The team will play for the interscholastic championship next season at the sportsman’s show. Charlie Nichols won second place in the inter- school fencing tournament held at the Roxbury Latin School. Dud” Marshall will be an important factor in this season’s tennis championship meet. Phi Delta Fraternity held an invitation meet with Brookline High School in water sports at the Brookline Natatorium. The events included a re- 233 lay race and water polo game.

We had a royal good time at Mr. Baxter’s the other evening. Mr. Baxter is a splendid enter- tainer. Probably this has been said so many times that it is an old story, but we cannot leave the Latin High School without ren- dering him the same tribute which our predecessors have given. Miss Kinsman, in her class prophecy, showed herself an excellent reader of human nature, and her part of the programme was a most enjoy- able one. Bennett also aroused a great deal of laughter by his sallies. The other class parts were also very well received. Altogether, we passed an exceedingly pleasant evening. The Jog Alongs recently played their first bowl- ing game, winning from their opponents by the unusual score of IT to 0. The work of Captain Milner was especially noteworthy. We quote the words of the World of Sports:— It was a sight worth seeing when Captain Mil- ner strode forward, seized a ball, swung it back- ward. and suddenly, with a mighty hurl of his arm. like the stroke of a piston, sent it flying down the alley, sometimes knocking over as many as three pins. “On the top of one of the highest buildings in Boston is a tall pole, surmounted by a huge ball, which, at the stroke of twelve, falls with a roar as of a cannon. We were reminded of this impres- sive scene whenever we saw the ball shoot forward from the stalwart form of the gallant captain.” The following anonymous poem has been passed in:— Broke, broke, broke. In the place where the tenpins be, And O! for the touch of the good greenback That shall never come back to me!” Any one who can solve the meaning of the above will receive a prize of $5 from John Carl Haartz bv calling on aforesaid person at his office. 210 Salem street—Sign of the Three Balls.

Should any audacious youth of to-day ap- pear upon these scenes in such headgear—we shud- der to contemplate the consequences! Spline and Hainan, we fear, are going to the bad. They have begun to attend German concerts. Take them in hand, somebody, or they will soon be in their graves. In the words of one of our great- est poets:— “Pity them, friends, and drop a tear Of sympathy upon their (bier?)” Have you seen the pictures of the boys taken by one of our number? Perhaps you have, and did not know upon what you were gazing. If we look like that, may some gentle and kindly tornado come along and waft us sweetly off to the place where the woodbine twineth. A few days and the class of 1901 will be no more. Good luck to you all! Those who were forced to remain upstairs during the memorial excr- jmvises enjoyed themselves very much.

The first league game was played on Tufts oval with our old rivals, C. M. '1'. S.. before a slim audi- ence. The quality of the baseball played deserved a much larger crowd. The contest was close through the nine innings, and was in doubt up to the last moment. Jones was a terror to the Cambridge batters, striking out seventeen men, which is nearly six innings. But two hits were made from him, both by Gallagher, the star third baseman of the Cam- bridge team. The performance of the Somerville team proves it to be in line for first honors in the league.

Owing to the short notice and unsatisfactory ex- cuse. the manager of the Somerville team refused at first to change the date, but, wishing to preserve good feeling, offered to play the next day. This C. M. T. S. refused to do, and would agree to play the game only on the morning of June 17. As Somerville had previously arranged a game with Boston Latin for that date, the team went to Charles-river park and lined up. ()n the non- appearance of C. M. T. S.. Umpire Wccdcn awarded the game to Somerville. Somerville, 16; E. H. S., 10. Somerville won the last game in the league series from F.. H. S. Memorial day. This is the sixth consecutive victory for the team, and brings the championship to Somerville for the first time since 1S97. The game was played before the largest audience which has watched a game this year, 12,000 people. Both teams played hard and to win. Somerville found Kennedy for good hits, and kept them bunched. English High neglected opportunities, and went to pieces in the last part of the game. Harts, Graham, and Fisher did the best work with the bat. Harts also made a star catch in the last inning, making a double play. Jones kept the hits down, and had eleven strike- outs. The score:— SOMERVILLE HIGH.

Public patronage and reasonable financial suc- cess arc the best marks of the character of work done, cither in professional or mercantile pursuits. In almost every case it is the standard of excellence of the article produced that determines what the de- gree of success will be. and the at tide which de- serves recognition by the public, if persistently placed before it., will reward its producer in the end. Good, honest work is the best advertiser a man can have in any line of business, and while remunera- tion may be slow at first, the ultimate return will be gratifying to the man who places the proper value on a solid professional or business reputation. 'I'he confidence of the public must be gained and held if a man wishes to reach that popularity which insures good results. Nor is location a just criterion of what success will be, for it rests more with a man than with his surroundings, and the man who can overcome this disadvantage can suc- ceed anywhere. Neither should the clement of per- sonality be overlooked, for this is often the turning point to popularity and liberal patronage. These elements, and many more, are combined in the genial local photographer, Benjamin F. Free- man, who, under many difficulties, has. from a small beginning, in only twenty-five years, forged his way- well up in the front ranks of his profession. Many people arc of the impression that his location is un- favorable to his business, that he should be located in Boston, instead of a suburb, but this is answered by the fact that people from other suburbs are lib- eral patrons, as well as people from Boston itself, and that, too, from its most fashionable districts. People everywhere recognize complete, modern equipment, reliable, lasting work, perfect satisfac- tion, courteous treatment, and a perfect freedom and charm, all of which are characteristic of tne Freeman studio, and added to all this is the pleas- ing manner in which Mr. Freeman always handles the little people, which invariably wins favor. But his work is not confined to the studio ; for lie not only numbers among his patrons the leading business houses of Boston, for indoor and outdoor work, and the unique honor of having been official photographer for a well-known tourist company, but. in addition to this, he does considerable work for the government. Having been the first to take advantage, in almost every case, of new and enter- prising ideas, he has built his business up by sure steps to its present gratifying proportions and de- served success.
