'10 4 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIALS With this issue the Radiator staff of 1906-’07 assume the task of producing for the High Schools the sixteenth volume of the Radiator. It is with much apprehension and some serious misgivings that we take up this responsibility, for do not the Somerville High Schools prize their Radiator highly? Do they not expect the staff whom they elect to produce a paper which shall rank as one of the best? Yes. this is expected, and no less will prove satisfactory. But as is well known, the staff, by itself, is helpless, and in order to accomplish what is expected, enthusiastic support must be given, and it is now our pleasure to believe that we shall receive it. The things we ask are few, but if granted, our most ardent ambition will be accomplished. We ask and hope for two things: the financial support of the student body, and the literary support of those who have the ability. We also ask those who read our paper to patronize our advertisers, so that the business men of Somerville and Boston may never have a reason for believing that to ad- vertise in the Radiator is a matter of charity. Remember always, dear schoolmates, that the Radiator is a paper published by you, and for you, and that its success means honor for your school, and if in either the Latin or English School there is any one so insensible to the thrills of scholastic patriotism as not to wish to secure honor for his future Alma Mater, he is indeed an unworthy mem- ber's ; : The aOfK-x .to the. Latin .School, which has just been completed, comcs .aV a, gtvat; relief to both the Latin and English Schools. The congestion which has been so noticeable and disagreeable in previous years has to some extent disappeared. The two schools are connected by means of a brick corridor, of attractive architecture, which runs from what was formerly the east door of the Eng- lish School to the west end of the annex. The rooms used by English School pupils occupy two floors and a half, giving ten additional rooms. A large hall on the upper floor of the Latin School is to be used by both schools as occasion makes necessary. The rooms are all equipped with tele- phone connection to the head master’s office, the latest means of ventilation, and also with electric clocks and bells governed bv a master clock in the office. The tinting of the walls in the English School is a marked improvement, giving to the rooms and corridors a certain airy appearance with- out darkening them. It is still necessary in the English School, how- ever. to use as classrooms the lecture hall, not originally intended for such a purpose, and we fear that the continuation of the present rate of increase will find the school at the end of two years as badly off as ever, unless further additions to the building arc erected. We arc. however, ready at the pres- ent moment to join in the refrain. Sirs, for this re- lief much thanks,” and to appreciate fully all our advantages. We arc indeed fortunate in being able to attend a school occupying a site of such historical signifi- cance and overlooking such a breadth of interesting and beautiful landscape. On one side Tufts Col- lege, on another Harvard, and on a third side may be seen the gilded dome of the Massachusetts State House and Bunker Hill Monument, while at our very feet lies the fortification thrown up by the Americans when they withdrew from Bunker Hill. Is there another school that can boast of being within sight of three institutions of such world-wide importance and of so much of historic interest? Word comes from Brockton to the effect that its new.high school was opened September 10, with an attendance of over eight hundred pupils. Mr. S37 STACK 03°) THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR W hitcomb, who for the past eleven years has been the beloved head master of the Somerville English School, but now is at the head of 15 rock ton’s school, made a formal address at the opening exer- ciser. Brockton is to be congratulated, for the govern- ment of a high school could rest in no worthier or more efficient hands than those of Mr. Whitcomb. We greatly regret to announce the loss of Miss Ingram and Miss Small, both members of the Eng- lish School faculty. Miss Ingram resigned in favor of the Brookline High School, while Miss Small taker, charge of the English department in Brock- ton High School. K « We are pleased to learn that Mr. Southworth has once again resumed his duties at his office in the City Hall Annex. His illness was the cause of much anxietv to his many friends and, in fact, to all those who knew him. 9 ► r. Tiie football season has once again opened in all its glory, and again comes the question of school patriotism and fealty. Are the games to be at- tended by a small and unenthusiastic crowd, or are they to be witnessed by the majority of the student body, loyally cheering their fellow-schoolmates on to victory? We are optimistic enough to hope for the latter, although the spirit shown thus far is in no way encouraging. Cheer leaders were chosen •early, and everything within the management’s power has been done to arouse enthusiasm. Now, schoolmates, it rests with you. not to remedy the apathy shown in this one respect, but to strike at the root of the evil bv overwhelming the existing indifference toward all things connected with the schools, that need and deserve your support. Attend the games, and by fervent cheers en- hearten the players to strive their hardest to gain the honor for which they are battling. K Relentless Death has taken two more of our members to their eternal home. One, Miss Mil- dred I fall, was a member of the English School, •class of 1007, and the other was Miss McGarr, of the class of 1008. Miss Hall had for some time suffered with rheumatism, but nothing serious de- veloped until this summer, when she was stricken •with typhoid pneumonia, which resulted in her 5 death. Miss Margaret McGarr passed away on September 10, after a sickness of only five days. The sympathy of the entire school rests with the relatives and friends of the two young ladies in their sad bereavement, but “The path of sorrow, and that path alone Leads to the land where sorrow is unknown.” r k We take this opportunity to express our thanks to the faculties of both schools for their timely as- sistance to the new staff. Particularly are we in- debted to Miss Merrill and Miss Pratt, as their thoughtful advice and kind encouragement have served and will continue to serve, we trust, as our most dependable mainstay. r r � � � . The need of a school song has long been felt, and. considering the fact that there are so many rhymers within our own precincts, it seems useless to remain in need longer. It has been suggested that the bards” submit their bardic lays” for publication in the Rawatok, from whence compe- tent judges may select one or two as standard school songs. For the football song published in this issue we are indebted to Edmund A. Arnold, English. ’07. i; it it It It is the earnest wish of the staff that the Raima!ok shall serve as a medium for all matters connected with school life. Club notes are earn- estly solicited, and, in fact, anything which will be of interest to the readers will have a place found for it. As is well known, the editing of a class column is an arduous task unless the editor is as- sisted by notes from his classmates. Therefore we beseech you to aid in any way possible your class editor, as this department is one of the principal features of the paper. All material must be written on one side of the paper only. All material must be in on or before the tenth of each month. ------------♦■� •♦-♦----------- ■Resolution Whereas, by the divine will of our Heavenly Father, our classmate, Mildred G. Hall, has been taken from us; and Whereas, we, the class of 1907. have learned of her death with great sorrow, we hereby offer reso- lutions of sympathy with her parents, who mourn her loss. William T. Henderson. President. 6 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR '%t3a's Strategy Xaura iDitllc, X., '07 c I IE sun was just setting beyond the ex- tensive tobacco fields of a plantation in Virginia. Amid the lengthening ■ shadows of the fast-gathering twilight, bringing to an end the heat of the day. with its cares and toils, two figures were seated on the veranda of the old Brag- don mansion. Roth were silent, gazing at the familiar hills and fields which stretched far and wide. The man, small and slender, with his woolly, white hair offsetting his black, wrinkled face, was the first to attempt conversation. Wa!. ‘Liza, ‘pears ter me yo’ ain't much fer talkin’ ternight. Wha’ am de matter? Ain’t cher gwinc talk?’’ “Yo' jes’ min' yo’ bizniss, ’Rastus Jotliam Wash- in’ton. an’ !c’ me alone. Nothing more was said until a form appeared in the doorway of the house, and some one spoke. Oh. Eliza, I've found you at last,” sighed Mrs. Bragdon. What shall i do? You know that be- fore Colonel Bragdon died, he asked me to always keep our custom of having the annual dinner, and we must have it this year, the first one after his death. But there is nothing to give to the guests. As you know, we rely on the tobacco; but the pro- ceeds have not come in yet, and will not in time for the dinner!” Tcr’blo, ter'ble,” nodded Liza, rocking back and forth in her chair. Then, you know.” continued Mrs. Bragdon, “we have no poultry to speak of except the turkey gobbler, and that would be far from enough.” Suddenly a light shone in Liza's gleaming eyes, and she said • Xebber yousc min', honey. Sic an’ ’Rastus ’ll tak’ car’ ob dat. You jes’ stop worritin’ ober it an’ we uns '11 fix dat all right.” Mrs. Bragdon, glad to place the burden upon the strong shoulders of the old. faithful family servant, thought little more of it. She felt that, in the hands of the trustworthy servant, surely everything would come out right. TJza did a great deal of thinking that night, and the next morning, while washing dishes, she con- fided her plans and made known her orders to ’Rastus. Now. yo' sec here. ’Rastus Jotliam, when it gits dark ter-night youse gwine driss up lak a gal; yousc gwinc put on dat rid driss ob mine, an' a kcr- chcef, an’ my ole yaller sunbonnet. Now. vo’ jes’ berember. an’ yo’ nuts' act reel lak’ a chile, too. Yo’ tak’ ina’ does bastrik an’ put dat turkey gob- bler in an’ go an’ sell it.” “Yas, ’Liza.” said ’Rastus meekly, for he knew that to go against ’Liza’s orders would mean trouble. Toward evening that day. a little figure clad in feminine apparel, with a covered basket on its arm. stole cautiously away from the gate of the Bragdon mansion. It made its way toward a plantation about a half-mile off. There was no difficulty in selling the gobbler, and after depositing it in the poultry yard. ’Rastus re- ceived two dollars and a half and returned home. Late on the same night ’Rastus again went stealthily from the house, and went to the same place where he had sold the turkey. He took the bird from the yard, careful not to awaken any one, and then, running home, placed it safely in the Bragdon poultry yard. ()n the following day affairs went on as usual. The gobbler was strutting about in the yard, and Mrs. Bragdon could discern nothing amiss. Toward evening ’Rastus, again attired as a girl, slipped out with the turkey, and, going in a differ- ent direction from that of the previous night, sold the bird a second time. Again late at night he stole the gobbler back, and again placed it in the Bragdon poultry yard. This went on for four nights, and ’Liza thought that in two more nights she would have enough money for the dinner. On the fifth night, as 'Rastus started out to sell the turkey, ’Liza called him back, and said : Now. min'. 'Rastus, be keerful an' don’ yo’ fergit dat dorg wha’ youse gwinc ter. Don’ yo’ class ter fergit.” As 'Rastus neared the house of the Grants, where he was to sell the gobbler, he forgot about the dog, which was feared bv very many people, and was hoping that this would be his last night as a pedlcr. The sale was made quickly enough, but as 'Rastus turned from the door, he started to hop and skip. The dog, seeing the fluttering red dress from behind the house, flew out and took hold of it with his jaws Rastus shouted lustily for help. Upon hearing his shouts, the inmates of the house came running out. It was too late for ’Rastus to escape then; for his sunbonnet had fallen back on his shoulders, disclosing clearly his black face in the moonlight. With much difficulty he explained his conduct to the Grants, who laughed exceedingly over it. Then, quickly retaining his turkey, he re- turned home with many misgivings. Bres ma' soul.” he said to himself, almost sobbing, hope ’Liza won’t skin dis pore nigger.” Upon his confession to ’Liza, her anger at first was beyond words, but afterwards she began to give ’Rastus his just deserts. Wha’ fo' vo’ do dat? Yo’ am a pore fool ob a nigger.” Mrs. Bragdon. hearing the disturbance, came from the house, and seeing ‘Rastus in the torn aj - parcl, which neither of the darkies had thought of in their excitement, demanded an explanation. She was greatly mortified, and on the following day sent 'Rastus to return the money, with a note of apology to each plantation where he had been. After that she said no more, but proceeded to make plans for the dinner herself. But ’Liza remained angry for several weeks. She was forever freshening the incident in the mind of 'Rastus. “ Yo’ pore fool ob a nigger. she would sav, yo’ deserb a good hard lammin’!” And ’Rastus would meekly reply: Yas, ’Liza, I knows it. ’Liza, I do fo’ shore.” THE SOM HR VI LI.K RADIATOR 7 £be Ibarpist :«5 ? Cora TH. Sargent, JE., '07 31 HK auditorium of one of the fashion- able theatres in Paris was crowded to the doors. Every one seemed gay and happy, laughing and talking sb rapidly that, as I forced my way to my seat, the place reminded me of a hive of bees, buzzing on all sides of me. I was alone, and as the gossip of those around me annoyed me, I had intended coming in just as the curtains would open. 1 was only five minutes carlv. so awaited the time patiently. I hat night the girl harpist was to play for the first time in Paris. She had come from America followed by showers of praise which seemed impos- sible for a young girl not yet twenty to have at- tained. That night the highest society of Paris were ready to welcome her. as they often do noted artists at first, and later dismiss them with a smile which longs for something new. I had taken a sudden interest in this girl. Why I do not know. I longed for her success and triumph as 1 imagined she longed for it. Although I had never seen her. her youth strangely appealed to me and her strong devotion to music. Music has been a dominating part of my nature, and nothing touches my soul as much as the soft, vibrating tones of the harp. The five minutes were up. and the lights in the great auditorium were slowly lowered, while the string orchestra became more and more distant. The people ceased their chatter, and as the crimson curtains parted became lost to everything but what was before them. I gasped in amazement as I beheld in the centre of the stage the harp. Such a beautiful one is rarely seen, and I gazed upon it as if fascinated. At one side of it was the little seat. These were the only objects visible. The stage was dimly lighted, and on all three sides were hung curtains of deep yellow satin. The effect was mystical and wonderful. I felt as if I was in a strange, beautiful land. But as I gazed, the golden curtains at the back slowly parted and the young harpist came forth. Gowned in a white, soft, clinging robe, devoid of ornament or jewel, her golden hair falling from her shoulders, and her violet eyes shyly meeting the gaze of the people—she stood before us. The people clapped long and loud, but she only responded with a slight nod and took her scat. For a moment her fingers hesitated, and I felt myself tremble, but for the second time she lifted those wondrous eyes and began to play. She held us spellbound. Hardly a breath could be heard. More and more I seemed drawn within tlmt strange land. As her slender fingers moved, she never withdrew her gaze from the people. Xo smile lighted her face. but her whole soul and every emo- tion was portrayed in her countenance, as well as in her music. Some folk song, simple and sweet, then a brilliant rhapsody, then an original compo- sition : many and many she played, resting now and then for a minute. At last, after having played with our emotions, from sadness to joy. from bitterness to sweetness, from passion to calmness, she stopped—but did not rise. The moments passed—site turned to her harp and played that piece that is known and loved, not only bv Americans, but by all. “Home. Sweet Home.” Her whole being was poured into those few simple notes. Then site arose and slowly drew back, and the golden curtains closed. The audience did not move. All were in tears. Many had bouquets which they had intended to threw to her. but they were forgotten. Finally the flowers were thrown on the stage and the clapping began, not loud, but long and half-broken, like so many sobs issuing from a thousand throats. She did not appear, and we did not expect it. Still moving under the spell the young and beau- tiful harpist had cast over us. that great mass of humanity passed from the doors of the theatre— without sound. 5. O. fID. Club The oresent school year finds the S. O. M. Club stronger in numbers and as active as ever in school and social affairs. The Alpha Chapter has already held two successful meetings, as has also the Beta Chapter, and a well-attended general meeting of the club was held at Flemming Hall on October 8. Schedules of social affairs have been made up, and the coming year promises to be an eventful one. The annual club show will be held at Odd Fellows Hall February 34, 1906, and the members, with their many friends, have already started things going, all of which portends for the eminent success •of this coming event. New members arc constantly being recruited to the ranks of the votaries at the shrine of S. O. M., and the institution of a third chapter is now medi- tated. ----------� ♦—+—-♦■� fl bi ZUpba On September 28 the Phi Alpha Sorority held its first meeting at the house of its president, Miss Katherine Foote.

The officers of this year are: President, Miss Katherine Foote: treasurer. Miss Ada Hallctt: and secretary, Miss Dorothy Crane. s THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR TZhc Second filiate Ernest XU. Gbapin, E., '00 AVID ('I'MMIXGS was a lad of six- teen. He was only a Freshman, but was very large for bis age. being nearly six feet in height, with tough sinews and a well-knit frame. This was the third summer he had played the part—for it was play to him—of second mate on the knockabout Katydidn’t.” The “Katy- didn't was a swift, staunch, little craft some thirty feet in length, owned by Dave’s uncle, who used her in knocking about the shores of Xcw England and Xova Scotia during the summer months. This year it was July when they started out of Portsmouth. X. 11.. for a run north. The party consisted of Captain Ren Matthews, First Mate Uncle Dave'' Chamberlain. Second Mate David Cummings, before the mast. Dr. Francis Clifford and Lilly Edwards, two friends of the owner. David, being the youngest of the party, was of course the butt of all their jokes. He was not sea- man enough to be trusted with much authority, yet he knew more about handling the ship than did either of the landlubbers before the mast,” who were practically ignorant of the art of sailing. So it was that all the unpleasant little jobs fell to him. on the ground that it was the second mate’s duty.” If he objected, the captain, or Uncle Dave, would say. Got to. Second mate’s job always.” Some- times they would order him to do some such thing as pulling up the centreboard while the boat was sailing close-hauled and heeled ’way over, or swab- bing down the decks in a heavy sea, and then laugh at his vain endeavors to execute the command. Xeverthelcss, he had a very enjoyable time of it. for his work was in reality light, and he was the pet of the crew. The “Katydidn’t ran up the shore at a good rate with fresh southerly and easterly winds. Stop- ping in a day here and a day there. F.astport was soon reached. Here they put in for a look at the town. The boat was a stiff one. carrying a whole sail while others had in a reef or two, but she had scudded in under two reefs. The breeze was blow- ing east, with every promise of freshening. After deciding to remain in port until more favorable weather. Ren. the doctor, and Billy went ashore, leaving the Davids to stand guard on board. Xot being familiar with the place, the captain had anchored a little too far off in the outer harbor, ac- cording to his principle of never going too near shore in strange waters. Unfortunately he had chosen a bad situation, for the strong ebb tide and the stronger east wind made dangerous rips over the wicked rocks of the channel. As the rips grew chcppier and more ominous, the Davids grew more and more nervous, until finally the elder said: Looks as though we’d have to get out of here pretty quick.” Let’s put in the fourth now and get ready,” re- plied the other. Accordingly they set to work and reefed her down to the last point. When this was accomplished, the sea was running so high that the “crew” decided to up anchor and run for it rather than risk staying in that rocky sluicc-wav. Young David went forward to pick the course through the rocks, while his uncle took the wheel. Ir was a difficult problem to beat the ship out of a strange channel in that wind and tide, and with night fast coming on, but they felt capable of it between them. “Hard-a-lee!” shouted Dave, as they approached shoal water. Xo motion was made to comply, however, and the young pilot turned to repeat the order. There lay his uncle in a heap beside the wheel! David leaped aft. and. releasing the spokes from the grasp of the unconscious helmsman, spun the wheel over just in time to escape the jagged head of a rock. This tack brought them into breakers at the end of the channel. They looked dangerous, but it was do or die. so I avc gritted his teeth and braced him- self with a firm hold on the wheel. As the boat was pretty well heeled over, he luffed her up just as she reached the breakers, and stood by to cut the halyards if necessary. Rut, instead, he grabbed hold of them, barely saving himself from being swept overboard by a great wave which poured into the cockpit. Dashing aft again, he let the boat fall off on the starboard tack for a light lie had noticed coming in. lie didn’t know the name of it or where it was located—except in relation to the ship channel and harbor entrance—but he felt able to keep in deep water with its help. When Dave tacked ship again, all the water in the cockpit soused over to the other side and sub- merged Mr. Chamberlain’s head. As he had merely fainted, this brought him to. and with much difficulty ami many moans he raised himself to a sitting posture. “What struck y’u?” inquired the nephew in a hoarse shout. Rroke a rib against the wheel when she jumped on a flaw! Fainted!” replied the victim in a weak yell. “Look out you don't do the same! Say! But you’ve a job cut out for you! The boy soon realized the truth of this. The “Katydidn’t” was the best boat her builder had ever turned out. but Dave had all he could do to keep her from capsizing. The fierce wind howled in fiendish joy, the waves chased astern, eager to break aboard, while the knockabout, with her lee ribband awash and young David Cummings putting every ounce of strength on the wheel, tore along in the teeth of the gale. In ordinary circumstances the l oat was a remarkably dry one, but now she shipped every sea. The water swept from stem to Till'. SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 9 stem, and the wind blew piercing cold, but the determined lad only set bis teeth the harder and braced himself anew. liis unde had either fainted again or had fallen asleep.—probably the latter, judging front his heavy breathing. Rut there was no chance of sleep for David: although lie was tired, he must remain awake and navigate the knockabout all night, or, at least, until the gale subsided enough for him to anchor safely. And stay awake he did. beating up and down be- fore that faithful lighthouse. The boat pitched and tossed, occasionally the sleeper groaned or spoke, the sea lashed itself into a seeming frenzy of delight over the boy’s predicament, with always that steady four reef blow, blow, blow. After a few centuries of tacking, coming about, and tacking. David began to see faces peering at Inm from behind the wave crests. He heard voices in the air. laughing and shouting at him. The faces drew nearer and took on a threatening look; the voices grew louder and angrier. Then it seemed as though the whole ocean were about to rise and sink the little craft. Sharp pains ran up his back, his legs grew weak, and his eyes went blind for a moment. With a tremendous effort he pulled himself to- gether and took a new position, repeating with des- perate emphasis over and over again: Stand by, child! Stand by! You’ve got to stand by!” A bout this time the wind abated a little, making the steering somewhat easier, as far as physical exertion was concerned. But with the lull came a fog bank which shut in over everything so dense that Dave could not see the other end of the cock- pit. For a moment he was at a loss what to do, until a whistle began to blow with suggestive regu- larity. As it was in the direction of the lighthouse, he decided to use it as he had the light for a range. A beautiful July morning broke. The sun before it had risen very high, burnt off the fog, and, the wind having subsided to a comfortable whole-sail breeze, the sea was as smooth as a mill-pond. Out- side the harbor was seen a knockabout under four- reefed mainsail beating up and down off Great Island Light. At the helm was a pale young giant in the last throes of exhaustion. Me kept up now only by siieer force of will. Presently the knockabout was seen to fall off the wind, slack her sheet, and run for the entrance of the channel. Coming further into the inner har- bor than before, she brought to off the steamboat wharf and hove anchor. Down came the sail, and was furled and stopped almost unconsciously by the brawny lad. The Katydidn't’s tender, con- taining three men. the absent crew, now came up alongside, and the occupants piled aboard. TeJI us----” Run for a doctor; Uncle Dave’s broke a rib!” was their greeting from the exhausted youth. Mr. Chamberlain, who had awaked about sun- rise. cried feebly: I'll tell you all about it. only first give three rousers for the bravest second mate that ever sailed a ship single-handed all night in a four- reef hurricane!” “All right. Uncle Dave. I’m a hero, but I won’t do it again if---” and the second mate fell into the captain’s arms sound asleep. Obe to 5. 111. anb X. jfootball (Air: Maryland. My Maryland.”) I.

IDernll, X„ ’07 ITUATED on the banks of a winding river in New England lies one of the many academies for which New Eng- land is so famous. This one has a record of which it may well be proud. Founded in the early ‘forties bv the Rev. James Willis, from whom it takes its name, Willis Academy has turned out many graduates who have risen high in the business or profession they entered. Indeed, two have become governors of their native state: one was an ambassador for a long term to Great Britain ; several have been emi- nent judges, and there arc lawyers, ministers, and merchants galore, some of whom now doubtless think of the time they were caught, while at the academy, making faces at their Greek teacher by his seeing their reflection in his spectacles, and wish that they were boys once more. One autumn day in the year 190—, there stood on the campus of the academy a small group of stu- dents just back from their summer vacation, talk- ing over in loud tones and with much laughter their experiences while separated. Now. fellows,” one of them was saying, 'T11 wager that I had the queerest experience of any of you this summer. One day I was out canoeing near my home, and carelessly I capsized the canoe. Well, you ai! know I can’t swim a stroke, and the water all around that spot was twenty feet deep. I started to flounder around and veil for help, when to my surprise I found that I wasn’t sinking. Well, if you'll believe it, when I investigated the cause, after help came, I found that there was so much cork in the soles of my shoes that it kept me above water just by its buoyancy ’ Tin's story was met with veils of derision, and one lx v said : Sec here now. ‘Fish’ Blodgett, if you give us any more yarns like that this term, we’ll doom you to eternal association with the Freshies.” And with this terrible warning, young Mr. Blod- gett subsided. At tiiis point the conversation was interrupted to greet the arrival of another youth, who was appa- rently well known to all present. “Phil Stubbs, by all that's wonderful, I’m glad to see you again!” exclaimed one. and there were other expressions of joy heard which indicated that the newcomer was, in the well-worn words of the story book, a general favorite. And now let us take a look at our new friend, who is to be the central figure of this brief narrative. Phil at this time was seventeen years of age. and while rather below medium height, showed by his appearance that his muscles were well developed. He was also noted for his swiftness of foot, having won several cups in different school races. He was quite the conventional hero, being the only child of a widow, who, deprived of her husband by a train wreck, had been left with scant means of support. There would have been small chance of Phil’s at- tending school for any length of time under these circumstances, but he was ambitious to obtain an education, and by doing odd jobs around the acad- emy in the three years previous he had earned money to pay his tuition, and had saved enough to allow him his full time for his own on this his fourth and last year at Willis Academy. But to return again to the group on the campus, where by this time the conversation had turned to what is the chief fall topic in almost every academy, high school, and college in these United States, football. “Topsy” Brady, the academy wise man. here making answer to one of his less well-informed classmates, said: Yes, fellows, we've all got to hustle this year, if we arc going to beat those fel- lows from Thornton Academy, for their team is one of nearly all veterans, while we have only three of last vear’s pla vers back, though we couldn't have any better captain than Fred Warner, who’s worth any two ordinary players.” But,” said another, they say that there are plenty of new fellows coming this autumn who have good material in them, so we’ll hope for the best.” Here Phil broke in: Well, boys, I for one am going out for the team, and it 1 do make a position on it. I’ll do the best I can to uphold the honor of the school.” Several others also said that they were going to try for the team, and after this, with promises that they would soon meet again, the group broke up and scattered to their different rooms. The next day marked the formal opening of the academy, and it passed off uneventfully except for the customary pranks played upon certain ones of the “greenhorns” by their elders, the Sophomores, who forgot in the dignity of their new position that they had been just as verdant themselves but twelve months before. And so a week passed by. Then Captain Warner issued the call for the football can- didates. and the athletic season had started. Willis Academy had secured for this year for her coach a young man named Blake, just graduated from L-------- University, where he had been one of the leading athletes. Although this was his first year at coaching, yet he was determined to turn out a good team, and therefore he gave more attention and time to the candidates than an older coach would have done. Seeing Phil Stubbs the first day among the other candidates for the team, he noted that he was quick on his feet, and resolved to sec how he would do at left end. Therefore he as- signed our friend to this position, with two other boys, both heavier than Phil, though nearly as swift as lie. Although it would be gratifying to tell how Phil by brilliant work beat his two fellow-students for the position, such was not the case. When the time came for the final selecting of the team for the Thornton game, the captain favored Phil for THB SOMERVILLE RADIATOR loft end. but as the coach thought one of the others somewhat better, a fellow by the name of Cook, the latter got the position, and when the line-up for this last game of the year appeared, the name of Stubbs appeared among the substitutes. Ry this time excitement at the academy was at a high pitch, for the rival school had a team of the best kind, and in the earlier games of the season it had shown up better against certain of the other schools than had Willis Academy. Likewise, the students of Thornton Academy felt certain of the victory: for their men were much heavier, though not so fast as their opponents. And so the day for the great game dawned. Al- though the weather looked forbidding at first, yet as the morning wore on the clouds cleared away, leaving the sky blue and with a strong westerly wind blowing. A half an hour before the scheduled time for the game, the Thornton Academy team and its sup- porters arrived on the grounds, accompanied by a brass band. Then for thirty minutes that group of musicians played for all they were worth, and in direct opposition sounded the strains of the Willis Academy band. Then, greeted by a shout like rolling thunder, the rival teams trotted on to the field, engaged in a little preliminary practice, and the game was on. For thirty minutes the rivals battled, but without anv result. At the end of the first half the score board displayed. Willis Academy. 0. Thornton Academy. 0. and each team straggled to its dress- ing room, there to receive encouragement from the respective coaches, accompanied by dire threats as to what would happen if defeat fell to their lot. After what seemed a short time, the whistle sounded for the second half, and the twenty-two men again lined up. Sitting on the bench. Phil Stubbs had forgotten his desire to get into the game in the one great wish to see the blue and gold of his beloved academy triumph. Again the out- come of the first half seemed likely to be repeated. 11 but as time went on the brute strength of the Thornton players seemed to be beginning to tell on the Willis Academy boys. Hut the cheers for Willis. Willis. Willis, rah, rah. rah. Willis, Willis, Willis! came none the less diminished in sound. Twenty-five minutes had passed, and the ball was on Willis’ fifteen-yard line. Thrice had they been downed without making the necessary distance, but on the third down Cook, worn out by the constant hammering of Thornton's sturdy giants, could no longer stand the strain, and, much against his will, was forced to give up. Then came Phil's chance. With a few words of encouragement from the coach, he trotted into his position, ready to be of down the field with the punt which Warner, playing fullback for Willis, must now make. Straight as an arrow the ball came from the centre’s hands, the fullback’s foot met it dropping, and it started on a long and high kick. On the instant Phil was off down the field with the ball. Thornton's right halfback and quar- terback stood waiting tor the ball, and as it neared the ground. Phil came at full speed toward the two players. At this moment, as the two stood ready to catch the descending sphere, carried outward by the strong wind which was blowing, the ball eluded the grasp of the visiting players, and, quick as a thought. Phil had pounced upon it. and was off with it toward the Thornton goal. A groan arose from the Thornton stands as they saw the game slipping from their hands, and with might and main did their players strive to overtake the man with the ball; but Phil was fresh, they were tired, and the attempt was in vain. Then what a roar arose from the Willis Academy students, for. even if the goal was not kicked a mo- ment later, was not the game won? In the two minutes that remained. Willis held Thornton Acad- emy safe, and the Willis Academy boys had won the greatest game in their history. Was Phil Stubbs, in their minds, at least, in any way less great than the most famous graduate of grand old Willis Academy? No! £bc lE.vpcvtcncce of Ittumbcr 279 16 ? Xoulse Oraiiuicr, JE., '00 HERE shall I be able to find the book- entitled ‘When Knighthood Was in Flower’?” inquired a young lady of one of the library assistants. “I think that it is a new one,” she added. In the next room,” the latter replied. Mv heart gave such a great bound at this con- versation that the type on my pages was jostled up and down: upon this maiden’s approach, it was a small wonder that the letters did not change places and remain so. ... She was a vision of loveliness, with her dainty coloring and pink, bcruffled gown. Oh, such a sweet scent of violets! The fragrance came from the extraordinary large bouquet in her bodice. Then she took me down from my home on the shelf. How lovely it was to be held in a dainty, silk-gloved hand, and to be driven to my temporary home in a carriage! I knew for a certainty that my third cousin. Monsieur Ueaucaire,” would be so envious of my good fortune when 1 told him of it. I had resided in the library for only one week, and during that time I had not been taken out by any person; surely this was a good beginning, but 12 TIIK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR suddenly my conscience troubled me. I recalled a proverb which ran. Never judge a book by its cover. Did this young lady, beside whom I was seated, choose me because I was a brand new book? I mused over this for a few moments, meantime watching intently her curious expression : then 1 cried out to myself: Ah, 1 am realizing all too soon that my true worth in this world will never be appreciated. Oh, ’Monsieur Beaucaire.’ if you were only here to help me in this trial !” My medi- tations were rudely interrupted by the sudden stop- ping of the carriage. A few moments later I found myself on the shelf of a small bookcase in this young lady’s room, but on discovering that 1 had been placed between two books whom 1 would not condescend to notice, 1 burst into bitter type tears. Just think of it! I. When 'Knighthood Was in Flower,” associated with two such childish and puerile books as Emmy Lou and Little Women!” To add to mv grief. I overhead Miss Violet (for such was her name) tell her mother that Emily had informed her that a new book was at the library, and just for fun sire had brought it home. That night 1 wept and wept for Monsieur Beau- caire. and I believe my sobs fairly shook the room. How it all comes back to me! Hark! What is this disturbance at my side? 1 glance in that di- rection. and there perceive emerging from the pages of the book the winsome Emmy Lou,” followed by her nintimate” friend Hattie, and from the other side come forth the Little Women, Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth. Among the many different characters constantly appearing on the scene, who is this one whom I recognize? Ah, it is dear, awk- ward Peggy. Who are these boys? Oh. they are Myra Kelley’s little tatterdemalions; conspicuous among them is The Monitor of the Goldfish.” It must be a festival of some sort. They are growing so noisy, they are almost boisterous. I fear that Monsieur Beaucaire” would not like to have me in such company. I fear that he would term them rough and tumble.” The sound of carriage wheels is heard approach- ing through the still street, and as it reaches the joyous throng they disperse as quickly as they gathered, and as Miss Violet enters the room—ail is silent. Siowlv the truth dawns upon me. As a result of my excitement. 1 am quite sure that mV tempera- ture was 103. and that I felt very much in need of a few drops of essence of print. On the following day. after not having even looked at one of my pages, Miss Violet took me down from the bookcase, with the remark, You are a bother.” 1 ignored the insult, but replied in book language which cannot be interpreted by human beings. What 1 thought was a flower is only a weed and is worthless.” She then drove me back to the library. When I reached my home I poured out my tale of woe to Monsieur Beaucaire.” and his soft, soothing words comforted me beyond description, making me view my trying misfortune in a different light: although my feelings were dreadfully hurt, from my heart-to-heart talk with “Monsieur.” I be- came a firm believer that the progress of mankind is onward and upward. Zbc Hnswers of tbc Sagacious Saoe A sagacious sage once journeyed unto the Del- phic Oracle. The traveler journeyed afoot, accord- ing to the screed of the Greek,” although the wearied pilgrim reasserted indignantly that he had traveled a good many feet. Turning his left side to the leeward, the sage ap- proached the enigmatic oracle and boldly spake:— Oh, mysterious mister, I would like to be ad- mitted to your rank.” Nay. nay.” grumbled the oracle. Why may I not join your august ranks?” Mortal, thou art two months late. It is now October. But. Sir Oracle. I traveled here from afar with- out a guide. The unused wisdom of many lands is mine. Prithee, admit me.” Sir Oracle pondered for a season, then un- graciously consented. And so the Sagacious Sage humbly begs a trial before the jury of scholars. The department will be an endeavor on the part of the sage to answer all questions put to him. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. To Miss A. B. T.: I suppose the elevated road might be termed a put-up job. To Lilac Held: Yes, the Siamese twins arc brothers. To Freshman Mother: Your pseudonym is rather vague, but 1 believe I grasp your meaning. Yes. I do think that your boy would derive exercise from football as it is played to-day. I also think that ii the doctor ordered your pug dog to get exercise, he could get a little bv being given candy to make him wag Ins tail real hard. To Tcssie: The symptoms you describe are not those of love, but indigestion. Remember this is not a forlorn lover column. The Senior thinks that to marry in haste will be to repent at leisure. He may find after the knot is tied, that he will have no leisure in which to do any repenting. The price of coal is soaring, but it is nothing in comparison with the soreness of the public. CUISINE QUIZZES. Open-face oysters are again in vogue. Baked macaroni tied in true love knot pretzels obviates the indispensability of the finger bowl and the bit of lemon that is usually handed you. Choice cup cakes may be made from Dresden china. THB SOM ERVI LUC RADIATOR 13 Hfcfcitions to tbe jfacultg Owing: to the great increase in the number of pupils and size of the building, several new instruc- tors have been employed in each school. Mr. Avery, in becoming head master, resigns the head of the mathematics department to Miss Halt, who has been associated with him since the school opened in 1895. Mr. Earle is this year teaching mathematics, and his place in the chemistry de- partment is being filled by Mr. Obear, who comes from the Fitchburg High School. Mr. Obear graduated from Amherst College with the class of 1897. after which he immediately entered upon his chosen profession of teaching. He has taught in the Weymouth and the Fitchburg High Schools. Mr. Wheeler, who is instructing Mr. Abbott’s classes during the latter’s year of absence, gradu- ated from Boston University, class of 1900. He has taught in the Cushing Academy, Coburn Clas- sical Institute, and Lexington High School. Mr. Tuttle, having been elected master of the school, resigns the head of the manual training department to Mr. Smith. An addition in this de- partment is L. A. Sprague, a Technology man, who comes from Natick. '1’he English department of the English School is fortunate in having the services of Miss Xewhall and Miss Hatched. The former, a graduate of Boston University, taught at Sandwich, Mass., Somersworth, X. II.. and Xorwood Mass., from whence she came to Somerville. Miss Gatchell graduated from Coburn Classical Institute, and late - from Colby College, and has taught in the Cohassct High School. Miss Hastings comes to us from Norwood, and is to assist in the mathematics and history depart- ment. Miss Burroughs is a graduate of the Latin School and of Radcliflfc College. She has been teaching for two years in the Newton High School. Miss Butnam, who has substituted in previous vears in the mathematics department, has been elected a regular teacher. She has had a large and varied experience in teaching in the schools of the South and West. The services of Miss Woodward have been se- cured .o assist in the commercial department. She is a graduate of E. C. Perry’s Private School and of the Plymouth Business College. The Latin School welcomes Miss Perkins, a graduate of Smith College, who comes from Brain- tree. William l . Sprague is a graduate of Harvard College, and for the last three years has been head master of Dummer Academy. Revere loses one of its most efficient teachers in Mr. W ilkins, and we arc certainly to be con- gratulated upon securing his services as instructor, lie is a graduate of the Somerville Latin School and of Boston University. ---------. «.� � -♦■� -------- ZUuinni motes Mabel Duddy and Margaret Whitaker, English, '09. are with the John Hancock Mutual Life Insur- ance Company, Boston.

Some of us may go to college, some may enter the business world, but our recollection of our last year will always remain fresh in our minds. Let us, then, trv to carry away only pleasant memories. Some of the Freshmen exhibit hosiery loud unto such a degree as to stop the street cars or even freeze ice cream. ’OS F. D. Cooper, Class Editor.

HOW MiY XIbe jfootball Captain At ihc meeting of the Somerville High School Athletic Association last spring. Lawrence A. Bowlby was elected captain of the football team, to take the place of Herbert Henderson, who was prohibited from playing this fall, owing to a new Interscholastic League law. In the selection of Lawrence Bowlbv as captain, a better choice would be almost impossible, Bowlby having been on the squad for three years, making him fullv ac- quainted with the tactics of the game. A player always working for the uplifting of all gentlemanly sports, and working to do all in his power to have our schools hold to the highest standard that is attainable. Bowlbv does not confine himself wholly to football, having gained a reputation of being one of the best backstops in the league. Somerville, U; Everett, 0 Saturday. September 2! . Somerville opened the football season by winning an easy victory over Everett High School. Both teams were snappy, but the visitors had the heavier team. Somerville kicked off to Everett, and bv repeated attacks on Everett's line soon had a touchdown, and before the half closed another was added to our tally In the short second half neither side scored.

The number of copies printed was found to be decidedly inadequate, a condition much to be preferred to the “left-over” situation sometimes experienced. We must con- fess that this shower of enthusiasm came as a great and felicitous surprise, and we shall strive our hard- est to make the paper worthy of such interest. All branches of school work arc experiencing marked prosperity. Athletics have never been bet- ter supported, and the courtesy and sportsmanlike conduct shown toward our opponents at the games is a matter in which the schools may well take pride. The cheering under the able direction of Edmund Arnold has been of the clean, clear-cut type and has proved most inspiring. Now that the good work has been started, let each one put his shoulder to the wheel and keep it moving in an onward direction, remembering that success and good work in any direction tend toward i he glory and prosperin' of our beloved S. IT. S. y y y y One of the most enjoyable afternoons of Octo- ber, for the teachers of the Latin School, was that of Thursday, October 18, when they were enter- tained at the home of I)r. Baxter. The faculty was represented by all fifteen mem- bers of the teaching force, who appreciated the op- portunity of becoming acquainted with the three new instructors, Miss Perkins, Mr. William B. Sprague, and Mr. Wilkins, and of enjoying again the charming hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Baxter, which has become so famous among the teachers and pupils of the Latin School. y y y y The annual “Freshman reception” tendered by the faculty of the English School to the entering pupils and their parents occurred Wednesday even- ing. November 7. at the English School building, over eight hundred persons attending. The visitors, in departing, universally conceded that so far as opportunities arc concerned the Eng- glish High School ranks among the best and that if. in graduating, pupils feel a hesitancy in facing the world, the fault is their own. y. y. y. y The sympathy of the school, and especially of the football team, rests with Joshua F. Hillier, who met with such a deplorable accident in the football con- test between Hyde Park and Somerville. Mr. Hillier. in rushing the ball, slipped and frac- tured his limb in two places. He was taken to the Somerville Hospital, where the bone was adjusted, and is still there recuperating as rapidly as can be expected. 'Phis is the first serious accident which has oc- curred on Somerville’s field in several years, and is to be deeply regretted. It is consoling, however, to note that no player was in the least at fault, and that Mr. Hillier’s misfortune was purely accidental. y y y y The Boston newspapers are continuously thrust- ing before us the fact that our success in athletics is due to the combination of the two schools. The advantages of separation in this branch of school work would, undoubtedly, be many, but consider- ing everything, separation is decidedly impractica- ble and undesirable. There is. however, no obstacle in the way of in- tcrclass sports, which, in our schools, have never been indulged in to the extent that they arc in most schools, and we believe that were the classes to es- tablish a precedent in this line during the coming year the example would be followed in succeeding years and the ultimate result prove highly satisfac- tory. y y y y The newly reorganized Debating Club, with an enrollment of about fifty members, has entered upon its second year with Miss Mary Hayden at its head, and is progressing rapidly. Several intensely inter- esting and clever debates have already occurred, and many more are expected during the year. There is no one thing that will help gain for a person the power of elucidating the truth of any question, or of being able to speak upon that ques- THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 25 tion in an intelligent and pointed manner, as quickly as being a live, active member of a debating society. Therefore, ye would-be followers of Ilenry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Wendell Phillips should im- mediately join the Debating Club, as there are but few vacancies left. a . The recent rc-aranging of the art decorations of the English School produced such a pleasing effect that many of us thought additions had been pur- chased. The fund realized from last season's ora- torio is not vet expended, and there is an unex- pended balance from previous years. The Art Committee have ordered seven large pictures, and the remainder of the fund will soon be employed in purchasing decorations for the rooms in the new Annex. The Athletic Association have voted to continue the framing of athletic group photographs, the ef- fect of those already hung in the brick corridor proving so satisfactory. Even Jove, from his cor- ner. assumes a new dignity surrounded by these evidences of modern prowess. 1 . K r. The death of Mr. Doogue, for many years in charge of the Boston Common and Public Garden, has more than a passing interest to us. When Cen- tral Hill Park was laid out. .Mr. Dooguc's advice was followed in the locating of flower-plots, etc., and the succession of plants during the season has been quite generally that used by him in the Public Garden. Mr. Doogue was a natural ar- tist. and his work with flowering plants a life-long enthusiasm. r r. r. The cover design used in this month’s issue is to be used permanently during the remainder of the year. It speaks well for the Art Department of the School and for its creator, Harold Kebbon, staff artist of the Radiator.

And some that dwell within it merely foolers ; They have their exits and their entrances: And each one in his time plays many parts, Ilis acts covering four years.

Smith, JS., ’07 HEN Hoskins, the 'Varsity fullback, bucking like a rhinoceros, punting in the sixties, broke his ankle one dark, muddy afternoon, the coach only pursed his mouth a little and set to work on Knox. Knox was big and husky, and punted quite as well as Hoskins, but he was a trifle over-circumspect about hitting the line. The coach stood behind him ceaselessly for the next two weeks of practice. When Knox would crouch down waiting for the fust movements of the ball, the coach would crouch down, too. his jaw widening in a series of low-pitched fragments of sentences: sentences that could be almost ten- der with encouragement or poignant as the bitter- est gall. Steadily, by leaps, the candidate improved, and he had almost gained absolute perfection: almost become another Hoskins, when, on another dark, muddy afternoon he dislocated his shoulder and joined Hoskins in the hospital. This time the coach's jaw flattened a little, and he muttered to his assistant, “Snow in Hades. But he took out Crawford, the third sub. and put him in Knox’s place. Crawford was a natural line-smasher, but he couldn't punt. “Snow in Hades,” again muttered the coach. $ They were in the dark, damp dressing-room after a hard afternoon of practice. Before them were the men stripping off their soggy armor, eager for the warm showers on their pounded bodies. But the eyes of the coach and his assistant were focused on Crawford, the third substitute fullback. —Crawford, on whom the honor had fallen. “Look at him.” growled the coach, six feet if an inch, and only a hundred and fifty.” Rather nice legs.” commented the assistant consolingly. “Yes. nice: nice, that's just the word. Nice legs for a tennis-man or a ping-pong player.” lie’s got the sand,” suggested the assistant. The coach’s jaws shut tight with a grind. For a time he was silent, then a faint light seemed to sparkle in his eyes. Yes.” he said at last, “he’s got the sand, and Bill, he's got to do it on that sand, do it all, all, on that sand.” The next day at practice, the coach called the scrub men aside. Whenever the ’Varsity kicks,” lie instructed, “charge on him and break him! Drive onto him with vour knees and elbows, and any man that misses him goes to the. side-lines!” So when the time came for Crawford to punt, as he raised his lithe leg and struck the leather with his shoe half-way between the toe and the instep he was buried beneath a human avalanche. And the coach and his assistant, standing a few yards behind, watched him with intense interest, “lie looked after the ball. whispered the coach to his assistant, with a smile of sober satisfaction. For Crawford, rising painfully to his feet, had not once looked at the men who had used him so roughly, but had gazed after the ball which a mo- ment before soared far up toward the sky: and his mouth broadened into a smile of satisfaction as he saw the scrub fullback thrown, the pig-skin tucked under his arm. full fifty yards down the field. He staggered a little, but he had to punt again, and as he fell to the earth buried beneath the ava- lanche, it sickened him to the core. Again the ball was snapped to him. but this time lie was plainly unnerved, and at the threatening rush of feet toward him he dropped the ball, recov- ered too late, kicked low. and bang.—the flight of the ball was blocked and the leather was rolling yards behind him. the scrubs hot in pursuit. That’s what you've got to expect in the big game. ’ said the coach, coldly, and I’ll sec you get it every day until then. Get used to it.” And by the end of the season Crawford had got used to it. Two days before the big game the coach called Crawford aside. “Crawford,” he said, ‘‘you’re all in. I’m going to give you a two-days’ rest. That game’s going to be a punting game.” Crawford’s muscles grew taut. I'll punt.” he said. In the dark, damp dressing-room, shivering with excitement, the blue-jersied team listened to the few terse words of their coach. Their hearts beat unnaturally within them, and a strange, furious en- thusiasm swelled their bosoms. Suddenly the coach called to Crawford. “Crawford, Crawford.” he shouted, “Crawford, come here. Crawford, do you know what you arc? You’re the third substitute fullback : you’re a scrub. You’re going in because Hoskins and Knox are laid up. You’re not a Hoskins or a Knox: but to-day you've got to be one. Do you understand? To-day you’ve got to be a Hoskins!” Crawford did not answer, but he understood. Every muscle in his body grew as taut as a steel spring. The coach threw the door open, and the men bounded out on the field in the roar of the multi- tude. The game had not been on five minutes before the Blues saw it was to be a bitter struggle. The Red team was fearfully strong. The line was like a granite wall: an irrepressible granite wall that surged steadily forward. Crawford was the matter with the team, he was the weak cog in the great machine. Long and lithe, he was as fast as a rabbit when once he got underway, but he had no spring in the start. On the contrary, the other backs, built like bulls, and TUK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 2 7 with great driving power, though not so fleet run- ners. were like lightning in hurling themselves forward, so that at every formation Crawford found himself lagging behind blocking the movement. Look at him,” the coach was muttering on the side-lines. Starts like a cow. And can't inter- fere. Slings himself at the ends all right, but what's the use when the ends break him in two?” And Crawford saw that he was blocking the progress of the team, and determined to make good. The Red team had chosen the kick-off. and the I� htes had got the ball on their own twenty-five- yard line and held it for a little while. W illiams, the left half, broke away for fifteen yards; Smith, right half, was sent in for his specialty, a cross- tackle buck, and crushed through for five more yards. Crawford was given a trial, and slid through for three yards. Then things went to pieces, and the weakness of the Blue team stood hideously revealed. With nine yards to gain on the third down, Craw- ford realized that his red-headed quarter was bark- ing out signals for a punt. Crawford pranced back and waited. A hush like a great velvety cloak fell over the whole field. Crawford saw the centre's hands bend slowly at the wrist and saw the leather waft softly toward him as a bubble on a zephyr. He was awa.re of a threatening pounding of feet on the soil. But he caught the ball squarely in his hands. Then he dropped it. and with a great, free, pendulous swing of his right leg saw it nestle squarely on his toe and with a thump bound skyward. Then he was buried beneath the avalanche. The last man to free himself from the pile was the captain of the Reds, lie was big and blond as a Viking. We're going to break you in two to-day. young fellow. he sneered. Crawford looked up into his sparkling eyes. But I’ll still have my legs to punt with. he re- plied. The Red man stopped. The sneer had faded from his lips. Then in its place appeared a smile, a hearty, good-natured smile, and he trotted off down the field. Crawford rose and followed him to the spot where the teams were lining tip. He counted the white lines as he ran, with growing ccstacy. Forty- five. fifty-five, sixty. He had punted the ball sixty yards. With almost the whole length of the field before them, the Rcd-jcrsied team, disdaining to punt, took the offensive. Crawford, from his position some twenty yards behind the line, watched them with contempt. At every formation their plays seemed to fail, and at last they were forced to punt. Crawford caught the ball squarely and plodded along for five yards. Then he felt a tugging at his leg. and he fell, still clutching the ball. He arose a little slowly. Something in his right side had cracked: but he smiled. Xot broken yet. he said to the Red captain. The red-headed quarter shrieked out an end play, but the ball was fumbled and a Rcd-jersied man fell on it. As the half was nearly tip the Reds decided to kick. A quick pass to the quarterback, an accurate placement, and the Red man rushed forward; his right foot lifted the leather and it soared upward between the goal-posts. 'Phc Reds had scored! The referee’s whistle sounded, and the teams bounded off to the dressing-rooms. Inside the tightly-closed doors of the Blues' quarters, the coach, furious with the apprehension of the miserable playing of his team, harangued the men unmercifully. Kach one in his turn was scoffed and sneered at by the coach, and they were a sober looking set of men when, in answer to the referee’s whistle, they again trotted on the held. As the half progressed, the same weaknesses in the Blue team were visible as in the first half. Crawford was slow at the signals and blocked every formation. The few easy points of the Reds had been over- come. and now they surged steadily forward, gain- ing yard by yard. It was the Blues’ ball (the Reds had lost it on a fumble), but after a third down they were forced to punt. Crawford limped up to the captain of his team and grunted All in. Better put Smith in to kick. He's better than I am now, and I'll take his place.” So Smith was to punt! The coach on the side- lines stamped up and down the frozen earth in- wardly boiling over with rage, and cursing the men for their ping-pong playing. What was Smith going to do now ? Why had Crawford taken a po- sition in the line? Crawford limped into his place in a semi-dazed state. I le was. as he had said, all in.” The ball was snapped to Smith, but at the ac- companying pounding of feet he became unnerved, lie fumbled the ball, recovered too late, kicked low and bang! its flight had been blocked. Crawford had kneeled down in the line to block his opponent and was just rising when something hard struck his chest. Almost mechanically he raised his arms, and as he did so something fell into them. It was the pig-skin! How had it gotten there? Had it bounded to him after the blocked kick of Smith, or had it—but never mind, lie had the ball and was now fully awake. His men were calling for him to follow, so with a tremendous effort he pounded off in the tracks of his team. The interference was splendid. Each man picked out an opponent and downed him. But Crawford pounded on. thinking of nothing save the pig-skin tucked safely under his arm. Now there were only two Red men in front of him. The first one he dodged and was by. He could not afford to swerve the second. lie saw 28 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR the man make a lunge forward toward his legs. With one mighty effort Crawford sprang into th« air. and a Red jersey passed beneath. He fell as he alighted, but was on his feet in an instant. Now there was nothing in front of him but a series of white lines; a long, intensely long, series of snow-white lines, and far away the goal-posts like gallows against the setting sun. How far apart those lines were. They were a mile if a single inch. It was indecent; it was pre- posterous : it was unfair to make him run that long distance. And how hard it was for him to run! That knife in his side was paining dreadfully now. But he was not broken yet. He thought of the Red cap- tain. and was tempted to look back, but he resisted the temptation and pounded on. He remembered that to run fast one must bring his knees up toward his chin. But how hard it was for him to do this, bring his knees up straight! Instead they had a tendency to point outward. He must remember. His breath was coming quick now. and his side was almost killing him. How far apart those lines were! He tried to count them as he ran. but his 'mind would not work. His knees were pointing outward again; lie must keep them up straight. Pounding along the field gridiron, there, his lips formed a little prayer. “Oh. Lord,” he prayed, “help me to win. Help me to run and to pull my knees up straight. May I make good, (iive me the power to------” There was a panting at his side. Was it a dog? It could not be a dog; it must be a man. Should he throw the ball to him? No. He thought it best to keep it. But he must not let the man catch up with him. How hard it was for him to run ; and how his side pained him ! There was a tugging at his foot now, but he still kept on. Something or someone clutched at his other leg. and he fell softly, the ball still nestling under bis arm. Well, lu was tired, anyway. He opened his eyes as he fell. Had he passed the goal-posts? Thank God, he had. Now he could sleep. Hark! Was that his name he heard? “Crawford. Crawford. Crawford! ’Rah, ’rah, ’rah, Crawford! swelled then the multitude. 'I he Blues claimed the victory; the third sub- fullback had won the game. TLhc $bo$t of a fllbeloty? J6 iDarciarct id. Oreenwoofc, X., '07 at times is so intense that it seems as though the very air was frozen. But as evening comes stealing over this portion of the country, the wind has gathered all its force, and. tearing over the sea. lashes the waves into enormous billows; leaping over forests, it bends tall pine trees like reeds and snaps sturdy oak boughs asunder; sweeping across the open plain, it scatters in its wake showers of stinging hail and snow. Around a once stately but long-neglected man- sion that stands on slightly risitig ground it howls with exceeding great noise, shaking the gates on theinrusty hinges and rattling the casemented win- dows. Long strips of ivy have been torn from its walls by the cruel hand of the tempest. Every- thing about the habitation speaks of gloom and desolation. A flickering light gleams triumphantly through a latticed window on the first floor. This is the only suggestion of life. Within the lighted room a fire burns cheerfully, and a clock on the mantel- piece. ticking loudly, seems to intimate that the evening hours are quickly fleeing. A man sits gazing earnestly into the mounting flames. Suddenly through the roaring of the storm a wonderful strain of music floats toward him. It is a wild mazurka, now passionate and full of pathos, and now sweeping forth in a storm of almost un- endurable delight. Then the time diminishes, and the melody sways fitfully in irregular time and sad- ness until it finally trembles despairingly in the muffled chords of closing. Some one is playing the piano in the music room, but how can any one gain admission to the place where he has dwelt in solitude for so many years? It cannot be. It is the wind. But no. for again the notes swell out. accom- panied this time by a strange, sweet voice that makes him shudder. They are tones that seem to come from a broken heart, and to wind and spin themselves among his thoughts like plaintive, en- treating memories. Deeply affected, he arises to seek for the source of this marvelous music. He leaves the room and proceeds to the hall, but the selection, now an adagio, mournful and pathetic, seems without, and is the loadstar which is drawing him to his destruc- tion. I le rushes out into the tempest and darkness of the night. He traverses the bleak moor onward and ever onward toward the sea until the morning sun. peeping over the horizon and casting at first faint streaks of topaz, later deepening, has trans- formed the recent track of the storm from deepest black to a path of living gold. And in the house on the plain the fire burns lower and lower, but the little clock still ticks loudlv. Years pass, and travelers arc told on crossing the heath tha� the house is haunted; for every night a spirit as irresistible as the sirens re-visits the. dwell- ing. and by its playing entices the listener to his destruction. TIIK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 29 Bunt Betseys %c$nc£ By? Gladys 3i . Iknowlton, X.t ’09 Christine Fairbanks walked tip one of the streets of Sunnyside. she gazed intently at the house which she was approaching. Yes, there it was again—that sad face at the window. Each day. as Christine had passed on her early morning walk, she had seen that face, which possessed a strange fascination for her. Upon inquiring of the worthy couple with whom she boarded, she learned that in that house lived Miss Betsey Bacon, but of her nothing more was known. Now as Christine drew near and saw the pathetic droop of the figure at the window, it seemed to her that she could not pass by without some show of sympathy; so. raising one hand she blew a kiss from the tips of her fingers. Was she right? Did the face light up with a little pitiful smile? Yes, for with a motion of the hand, the old lady beck- oned her to come across. As she reached the door she was greeted by a gentle. “Come in. and on entering the room Miss Bacon said. This is very kind of you. my dear, to be interested in a poor little old lady like me.” Xot at all. said Christine. Your face has ap- pealed to me since the first time I saw you. and I have wanted to come before.” This was but the beginning of many such visits, which brought sunshine not only to Miss Bacon, but also to Christine, for she. too, was alone in the world. An orphan, and unaided, except for the kindness of her teachers, she was woridng her way through a young ladies’ seminary preparatory to earning her own livelihood bv teaching. Christine had wondered that the old lady's gaze rested on her face so searchingly. and one day she asked. Why do you look at me so inquiringly, dear Miss Bacon? There is a resemblance in your face which puz- zles me. was the reply. Sometimes it is strangely familiar. It is ]x ssiblc that I may have known some relation of yours. Would you mind telling me vour name? “( hristinc Fairbanks.” The little old lady’s face grew, if possible, a shade whiter than before, as she gasped: “Fairbanks! From Vermont? Yes,” answered Christine, “when my father was alive we lived in Vermont.” “Did you ever hear of a Robert Fairbanks?” asked Miss Bacon, her eyes devouring Christine’s face. Robert Fairbanks was the name of my father’s younger brother, but he went away to war and was killed. So I never saw him. said Christine, but I have been told that I resemble him.” So you do. so you do.” sighed the old lady, and sinking into a chair, she covered her face with her hands, while the tears rati down her checks. With a faltering voice she then told the romance of her life. In her girlhood days Robert Fairbanks had been her affianced husband, but cruel war had taken him from her, and he never returned. Bitterly she had mourned him all her life, but now that life was nearly ended, and she begged Christine, her own brave lad's niece, to stay with her until the end. Her only living relatives were two cousins in a distant city. To them she had already written, telling them of her failing health, and that they might come if they could. Call me Aunt Betsey, she said to Christine, for I should have been your aunt if Robert had lived.” So Christine took up her abode in the house where she had visited, tenderly ministering to the sick woman, and loving her with all the warmth of her young heart, making sad inroads on her own slender resources to purchase flowers and dainties for Aunt Betsey. Aunt Betsey's illness developed into pneumo- nia, and then the city cousins came to see her— two stylish ladies strangely devoid of affection. Upon learning from Aunt Betsey that she did not own the house in which she lived, and had barely money enough left in the bank to pay her last ex- penses. they seemed to lose all interest in her. As Aunt Betsey's life was nearing its close, she called them all to her bed-side, saying: I wish to leave some token of mv love to my little friend Christine, so 1 will give her my furs. Please bring them from that corner cupboard. Christine did so. while the two cousins’ faces wore sarcastic smiles as they beheld the ancient relics of better days. You are so handy with your needle, my dear, said Aunt Betsey to Christine, that you can re- model them to a better style. Do so. and wear them in remembrance of me. Promise. Christine.” And Christine, in a voice choked with sobs, did as she was requested. A few hours more and Aunt Betsey’s spirit had taken its flight to join her brave soldier bov. whose death had darkened her life. Now the days were sad and lonely to Christine. I ler promise to Aunt Betsey still fresh in her mind, she sat down one morning to alter the furs. Ripping out the old satin lining, she found them thickly wadded. Unusually so,” thought Christine, as shaking out the folds of cotton a white object fell to the fl x)r. Picking it up. she was surprised to find a letter, inscribed thus: To Christine Fairbanks, beloved niece of Robert Fairbanks and Betsey Ba- con.” Filled with wonder and amazement, Chris- tine opened the letter and took out two bank-notes of five hundred dollars each—Aunt Betsey’s gift to the orphan girl. Very different were the remainder of Christine’s school days,—repaying the kindness of her teach- ers. lightening the burdens of friendless girls like herself, and scattering sunshine among the shad- ows of life. 30 TIIIC SOMERVILLE RADIATOR TLhc Surrenfcer of Sarah 36 ? “ Incognito, ” ’OS HEN Sarah announced that she was going to be a trained nurse, the storm broke. You a trained nurse!” cried her mother. Well, 1 would just like to see you once in one of those funny uniforms giving chloroform to every old man who happened to get run over by a troliev. or who fell off a bridge while intoxicated! You a trained nurse? Well, I guess not.” Sarah’s father, whose opinion she valued more than any other, contented himself with a Do you think it a wise course, dear? But, in spite of the objections of her parents, the protestations of her friends, and the teasing of her brothers, Sarah persisted, and one fine morning they saw her off to the college in Baltimore, where she was to take a course in her chosen profession. She did not feel as cheerful as she had expected to. but that mav have been on account of Ralph, who, after every one else had surrendered to the inevitable, persisted in his efforts to shake her de- termination. But then. Ralph was her lover, and no amount of argument or persuasion could recon- cile him to seeing her slip away from him. ft is worse than being jilted in favor of another fellow ’ he fumed on the morning of her departure. I might have trounced him or cut him out, but I can’t fight a profession, you know, so there’s the end of it. And then he had torn himself away to report to his editor for duty, for Ralph was a re- porter on the Leader, and had little time to spare on an “obstinate, unresponsive, unreasonable girl. And now Sarah was home again, after a whole year a; the college, looking healthier, prettier, and more adorable than ever, and still full of enthusiasm over her work. Even Ralph had to admit that Sarah had evi- dently escaped from harm so far. and she on her part had graciously heard his tributes of admira- tion and accepted an invitation to go to the theatre with him as a reward. And thus it came al out that when the head telegrapher of the Leader rushed out into the city room with a news bulletin just before eight o’clock that night. Sarah was sitting at the side of Ralph’s desk waiting for him to finish writing his “assign- ments” which would end his work for the day. A big wreck about thirty miles out on the A. B. C. railroad !” cried the night editor, glancing has- tily at the dispatch. It’s a head-on collision, and a number of people are killed, and a great many more injured. It’s a great story.” Even before he was through speaking, one of the men. at a nod from the night city editor, rushed to a telephone, and in a moment reported that a wrecking train was going out of the local terminal as quickly as its crew could be gotten together. The city editor looked about the room. There were several men there, but most of them were cubs.” Not one of them, save Ralph, was capable of handling so important a story. You’ll have to go,” he said. I’m sorry, miss, to break up your good time, but you can sec for yourself that in this emergency 1 have no other choice.” Ralph looked appealingly at Sarah. I guess I can get one of these young fellows to go with you in my place.’’ he said, with so much regret in his voice that the girl burst out laughing. No. indeed you won’t.” she cried, “because I am going to the wreck with you ' You! exclaimed the amazed Ralph. But they would never let you get on the train.” Yes. indeed they will.” declared Sarah. “I am going as a trained nurse. Of course. I'm not a really trulv one vet, but we needn’t tell them so, and I guess there won’t be any too many women there to help.” By this time the elevator had reached the street, and Ralph, knowing from bitter experience that argument was useless, hailed a passing cab, and in five minutes they were at the station. At the wrecking train Sarah quickly, but firmly, overcame every objection to her going, but she was a little disconcerted to find that even this hurry-up expedition had quite a complement of physicians and three or four nurses in uniform. To Ralph years of reporting had made the pres- ent expedition a familiar one. but Sarah soon lost herself in the fascinating employment of watching, the men on the open forward car adjust rope and tackle to be ready for instant service, and had al- most forgotten the grimness of the journey till she was set at work preparing bandages and aiding the surgeons in laying out their instruments. A sudden lurch of the car. and its final stop an- nounced the end of the journey, and the girl turned suddenly pale, as she heard for the first time in her life the shrieks of agony that come only from the maimed and suffering. She was familiar with the groans that came from the hospital cots, but this phase of life had till now remained as a scaled book to her. Neither had her limited experience in the college made her at all familiar with the surgical part of her chosen work, so that she had not seen the mangled victims of accidents such as this until the surgeons had attended to them and bound up their wounds. She stood bewildered, looking out at the chaos before her. Already the wrecking crew were straining every nerve to attach a cable to one of the over-turned engines, which, after colliding with its opponent, had literally hurled itself onto the for- ward passenger car of the other train, crushing the car and its cargo of human freight beneath masses of iron and. splinters. The engine, as though from THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 3« a fiendish desire for vengeance, seemed to glow red hot, and the continual hiss from its dilapidated boiler told all too plainly of the boiling witter that was trickling down through the chaos, seeking out victims not already crushed or burned to death in the ruins, to scald and broil them beyond recog- nition. Sarah felt herself growing faint with the horror of it all, and turned to Ralph for comfort, only to find that he was not with her. Then a vague, unreasoning terror seized her, and she ran forward into the seething mass of people crowding about the wreck, crying out for him to come to her or she would go crazy. Once she caught a glimpse of him through the crowds, talking earnestly to a disheveled man. who proved to be the conductor of the train which had suffered the most damage, but when she arrived at the s|K t he was gone, and she saw only a row of corpses, each covered with a cloak or piece of bur- lap. Then she remembered that she had come out there to be a nurse, and. spying one of the physi- cians of the wrecking train, she hurried to his side, only to recoil in terror as with a swift, positive movement he amputated a mass of flesh and bone which had once been the leg of a strong, healthy man. Even as she fell back, her place was taken by one of the uniformed nurses, who went alxmt the necessary work as coolly and quietly as the surgeon. Sarah had had enough of horror. She (led. Fled from the shrieks and the crashing and the hissing of steam, and finally fell in utter exhaustion. And here, hours later. Ralph found her. after an anxious search. For the time being he had actu- allv forgotten that she existed, so intent had he been on his work. He had raised the corner of every shroud on that grewsome hill near the track, had gazed on every dead and living face, had searched through the clothing of every victim, seeking out their iden- tities. His hands were red from the steam of the wreck, his clothes reeked with the smell of the fire, and in his brain every atom of that agonizing night had crystallized and had been sent by him over the wire to the Leader, to be read and shuddered at by thousands. Xo wonder that when Sarah looked up into his anxious face she found it haggard and worn, not at all hke the Ralph she thought she knew, but in his eyes was a great sympathy for her. and when he gathered her up from the ground, all wet and bedraggled, she began crying softly from pure hap- piness and contentment. You poor, dear darling!” cried the now con- science-stricken Ralph. To think that I could neglect my little sweetheart even for so important a story as this! How can 1 ever hope for forgive- ness?” There is nothing to forgive,” said the girl quickly, it is 1 who should ask to be forgiven. 1 have been just what you said I was. an 'obstinate, unresponsive, unreasonable girl and to-night has shown me that I was absurd to ever think of be- coming a nurse. To-night's awful tragedy has made me realize it as nothing else could, and I shall resign from the college at once. Do you mean it?” cried the delighted Ralph. Sarah nodded. And now that you have reconsidered your de- termination to be a nurse, can't you find it in your heart to reconsider something else? coaxed Ralph. 'I he girl smiled happily at him through her tears. Ralph, dear. she murmured, hiding her head once more on his shoulder, perhaps you had better tele- graph to father the surrender of Sarah.” a SwMcal lbome jfiv 3£. ftajel jfallfs, £.. ’07 When the twilight shades are drooping Softly o’er the tired earth.

The house, which was ap- proached by a winding driveway through two rows of stately poplars, was colonial in style, painted white, with four massive pillars in front, while in the rear of it were numerous stables and negro cabins. On one particular May afternoon in '( 3, the colonel’s wife might have been seen sitting alone on her wide veranda. The day before a detach- ment of Confederates had left thirty-five horses in her spacious stables, and the leader of the detach- ment had assured her that the Union men. who knew that some horses were being held in reserve for the rebel army, were hunting for them, but were far from her town, following a false clue. Promis- ing to return for the horses in a fortnight, he had left them to the meagre protection of Mrs. Barcan. her daughter, and a few Xegroes. As Mrs. Barcan sat there, the silence of that May afternoon was broken bv the sudden clatter of ap- proaching cavalry. Her fears that it was the dread Northerners grew as the sound came nearer. Soon thirty of the hated boys in blue dashed up the driveway and out to the stables. The mistress of hei estate was mistress no longer. She was ut- terly helpless, being alone except for the negroes, who were so in sympathy with the Union men that they would do nothing to molest them. When the Northerners found the horses, they rode down the street, each man triumphantly lead- ing a horse, and not seeming to be at all concerned about the despairing woman they had left on the piazza, who could do nothing but stand shedding useless tears like a child over a broken toy. Mrs. Barcan was never more glad to sec her daughter Virginia than when she saw her saunter- ing up the lawn a few minutes later. Although Virginia was only eighteen, she was very inde- pendent in her speech and action, as might have been seen bv any one who noticed her determined jaw and chin. When she heard her mother’s story, without a word she rushed to a neighbor’s barn, borrowed a fleet colt, and was off after the men, with her fight- ing blood aroused and her eyes flashing fire. She followed the soldiers, keeping them in sight, though not able to catch up to them, for several miles, when she saw that they were approaching a camp. Here the marauders halted and departed to their various duties. A few minutes later they were astonished to sec a beautiful young girl come galloping into camp. She jumped quickly off her horse, and, going up to an officer, demanded an audience with the com- mander. Leaving her horse, she followed the offi- cer. who approached a large tent, and, pulling back the flap, he spoke to the general, then turned, and motioned the girl to step inside. Virginia was too excited to accept the proffered camp-stool, but stood with flushed face and clenched hands, and pleaded as follows:— Sir, probably with your consent, a crowd of thirty Northern ruffians visited our stables to-day and deliberately stole forty of our thoroughbred horses. Two of these hold the highest place in our affections. One is my little brown colt given me by my uncle before his death when 1 was fourteen, and the other is an old marc who saved mv father’s life! The officer had been taken somewhat by surprise by such an outburst from so unexpected a source, but he tried to divert her by asking how a horse had saved her father. And she, although interested in pleading for the horses, was even more inter- ested in the thrilling adventure of the heroic old mare, and allowed herself to be diverted. Well, you know, papa was a doctor, and one night during a heavy rain word came that his old aunt was dying in a neighboring town across the river. Me got up. saddled old Betsic, and started off. It was necessary on his way to cross the old mill bridge, so when he came to it. without thinking of the customary spring freshets, he started across. He reached the middle in safety, but all of a sudden his horse gave an instinctive leap into the cold tor- rent. and then he realized that part of the bridge had been washed away. Betsic was a good swimmer, but the current was strong. 'Hie wind blew mercilessly on my poor father, who was so exhausted that he could not di- rect his horse, and they floundered around for some time, while daddy clung to the saddle almost unconscious. Betsie knew the country, and after a while brought father to a friend’s house where the horse had remembered having been fed. By neighing and kicking the barn door, the old marc at last aroused the inmates of the house, and they took papa in and thawed him out, while Betsie was warmly housed and fed. Now. sir” (she had unconsciously assumed a tender manner as she told this tale, but now she re- sumed her belligerent toneb “after all I have said, will you not give me our horses? If you don’t. I think you’re a cruel man, so now!” And she burst into tears. Manv a Northern officer would probably have given her the horses after such a plea, but. as it chanced, this one unfortunately was one of the few' men in his jx sition who had no spark of chivalry in his make-up. and moreover he had been put to some trouble and brought far out of his way to get the much-needed horses, so now he placed his hand nervously on Virginia’s arm, and, leading her from TIIK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 33 the camp, dismissed her with that old saving which made her choke with anger: All’s fair in love and war. I'm sorry, but I can’t help you.” Dazed. Virginia mounted and rode slowly home- ward. When she had gone about a mile, she stopped her horse, and, sitting down under a shady tree, began to think and plan. From what hap- pened afterwards, we can imagine that she thought something like this :— Now Leonard Wilbur might help me. The only thing that can be done to regain the horses is to stampede them. But how? Well, he will know, and he will have to carry out the scheme. Perhaps at the risk of his life! Oh. how romantic! But I must get his consent.” Then, remounting her horse, she rode along to the Wilbur house and out to the field, where she saw Leonard at work. Possibly Wilbur may not seem patriotic, but he had decided that he could do more good at home than on the battlefield, since he had a crippled father and an aged mother. He managed their large farm to support his parents, and when Virginia came up she found him hoeing corn. She told her story graphically, and Leo, catch- ing the spirit as one does from a friend, was eager to help. When Virginia told him that her chief trouble was that she could not think of any way to stampede the horses, with a boyish ingenuity he suggested that he shoot some burning arrows among the animals. When the arrangements for carrying out his scheme that night were completed. irginia re- turned home to await the outcome. The Wilburs’ farm extended to the Union camp; in fact, the Northerners had taken some of their land. There was an old negro cabin about fifty yards from the outskirts of the camp, and here Leo was to build a fire with which to light his arrows. During his boyhood he had practiced arcli- erv with his friends, and he was a fair shot. A little before sundown he took his old bow and some arrows soaked in kerosene, and went down to his fortress. When the sun was on the hill and the light brightest, he fired his arrows out the window in line with the sun, so that they could hardly be seen, being outlighted by their fiery conspirator. 'I'he horses were collected with those of the Northerners on the outskirts of the camp. Each horse war. attached to a stake driven into the turf, but. aside from this, they were unguarded. It was. then, a comparatively easy matter to stampede the beasts. Bctsie seemed to realize what was ex- pected of her, and as soon as she had freed herself z k s. id. m. A new secret club has recently been formed by five girls in the sophomore class of the English School. _ . The object of the club is to bind the ties of friendship between its members. The first meeting was held Friday, November 9, at the home of Miss Leest, where the officers were elected, and the rules were made. she ran among the horses, who easily took fright and tried to free themselves. So that it was but a few moments before they had all pulled up their stakes and left. 1: is evident that some men exert a commanding and controlling influence over their weaker-minded brethren. So it seems to be with these lower animals. With wonderful intelligence. Betsie led those sixty horses belonging to both the Blue and the Cirav far to the south, beyond all dangers of thieving Abolitionists. It was a little over a fortnight later that the same detachment which had brought the horses to the Barcans’ stables passed, with the rest of the army, en route for Virginia. The same polite officer who had said that the Union army was far away rode up the driveway, leading irginia’s colt, old Bctsie. and two other driving horses. He dismounted, and seeing Mrs. Barcan and her daughter on the ve- randa. came up and began to make profuse apolo- gies for the trouble to which he had put the Bar- cans. But Virginia cut him short and demanded the story of the prodigal horses: and the obliging officer complied in this way:— “The horses were found by a scouting party roaming through the woods in Tennessee. The scouts rounded them up and brought them to camp, where Colonel Barcan immediately recog- nized his own horses. I had just returned from bringing the reserve horses here, but was somewhat disconcerted to find that the animals had been so faithful as to follow me back. I picked out mv reserves, and we kept the other horses, asking no questions. Your husband knew that you would be anxious for your horses, so he ordered me to bring them to you when I went north. Now I’ve told mv story. Tell me. now, how they were taken and where the other horses came from.” So mother and daughter took turns in telling of the capture of the beasts. Then, after having en- joyed some refreshments, given with Southern hospitality, the officer left. During his whole call the noble animals had been patiently standing un- tied, and now Virginia, with five lumps of sugar, descended the steps to reward their valor, intellli- ger.ee, and patience in both the past and the pres- ent. She carressed each in turn, and gave him his lump of sugar, but when she came to Betsie. '.'ir- ginia held out two lumps, and as the old horse’s liead bent low to get them, she put her arm lovingly over the beast’s sleek neck. and. leading him to the barn, she whispered something in his downy ear.

Mart), flDission iHinb School, '05, San jfranclsco RLD renowned historians and scien- tists will complete their observations of the awful havoc wrought ui on our fair city by the mighty tremblor and the raging flame: celebrated artists will paint and sketch scenes of top- pling buildings and of the fiery-tongued monster devouring block after block of tall and stately buildings, and the result of this labor of pen and brush will be scattered broadcast over the earth to show the world what an awful calamity has befallen the Mistress of the Pacific. But these books and pictures cannot tell the whole story, because they must necessarily omit the little things, which, after all. were the great, the big. and noble things. Books or pictures cannot tel! the little stories of open-handed generosity, un- selfishness, patience, courage, and faith of the people in the midst of confusion and excitement. These arc the things which give real insight into the true condition of affairs which existed at the time. Numerous arc the stories of the rich who, riding to safety in automobiles laden with costly bric-a brae, stopped on seeing some ragged old woman wearily trudging along the dusty streets, fed their costly possessions to the flames, lifted the footsore traveler into their automobile, and sped happily away. Xor can we ever forget the courage and self- abnegation of those who. answering duty's call, fought determinedly and untiringly that raging sea of flame, and who stood firmly at their post, while conscious that their own homes were being re- duced to ashes and their families scattered. There is no form oi reward by which we can ever hope to repay these heroes, just as there is no one who can fully appreciate their services and patient endur- ance unless they were witnesses. Twas only the best side of human nature that dared present itself during those times. Only the bright, generous, cheerful, grateful, uncomplaining, sympathetic side greeted one, even where suffering was greatest. Women accustomed to every luxury lost no time in mourning over the loss of their possessions, but. grateful for their lives, turned to care for those whom the fire and earthquake had made dependent. Long-remembered will be the hospitality of those in the unburnt districts who worked day and night making friends and strangers alike welcome to whatever they |x ssessed. Great and untiring was the work done by the fraternal organizations and charitable institutions of the city. Unceasing were the labors of the patient Sisters of Mercy, who worked day and night caring for the sick and wounded. How proud and grateful we were when the relief supplies began to pour in from near and far— proud of the number and grateful for the genuine sympathy of San Francisco's numerous friends. She in her prosperity was ever generous in assisting those in need, and now her kindness was repaid a hundred fold. And now. in spite of earthquake, in spite of fire, in spite of crumbling walls and heaps of ashes, in spite of the awful desolation of the city, firm and staunch is the faith of the people in the San Fran- cisco of the future. This was strongly manifested by tin rapid clearing of the streets and resumption of traffic throughout the city, by the rebuilding of the business houses, and last, but most important of all. the rebuilding of the homes. The rebuilding of these manifests the courage of the people more than anything else. The little home is usually built toward the end of the lot. not so pretentious as the house that once stood there, but neat and at- tractive. Many of them arc shingle houses, with casement windows, which are adorned with snowy curtains and flowering plants. What a bright spot such a home is in the midst of ruin! Certainly the adornment of these homes shows the great courage of the women. Tourists wishing to see the ruins of San Fran- cisco will have to hasten, for. by the energy of her citizens, the ashes arc being covered by the erec- tion of temporary business houses. It is no un- common sight to sec a blacksmith, lawyer, and automobile firm established in the same building. 'Tis all the little things which arc insignificant when written about are the most important in times of distress. The little deeds of kindness and ex- pressions of sympathy from the humblest persons are the ones that the people will remember in the long years to come. When San Francisco will have riser, from her ashes she will be greater and grander than ever before.

Forge and Garland making repeated gains in this manner. Cambridge put up a most strenuous game, and was surprisingly strong on the defense. Jarvis made an 80-yard run. shak- ing off tackier after tackier. McNeil finishing for a touchdown. In the second half Cambridge kicked off to Donovan, who gained twenty yards. All through the game Somerville's sub backfield played a snappy game. McNeil breaking through the line for five touchdowns. In the latter part of this half it looked as though Cambridge was to score a touch- down. lose carried the ball over the line, but ran .offside at the 20-yard line, thus failing to score. Reeves.

October 20, Somerville High won from the Hyde Park eleven in a game played on a field ankle deep in mud and water. Somerville started a rushing game. There was an exchange of kicks in which the red and blue forced Hyde Park to close terri- tory. and the first touchdown came when Forge se- cured the ball on a forward pass, running twenty- five yards for a touchdown. Bowlbv failed to kick the goal. Score: Somerville, 5: Hyde Park, 0. Hyde Park kicked to Merrill and after an ex- change of kicks Sharry got the ball and speedily wended his way through his opponents until he was free for another touchdown. Bowlby kicked an easy goal. Score: Somerville. 11 ; Ilydc Park, 0. At the beginning of the second half, Joshua F. llillier. of Hyde Park, while rushing the ball, broke his right leg in two places below the knee. Hillier was taken to the Somerville hospital. The unfortunate injury brought the game to a close, although only five minutes had been played at the time of the accident.

Whitcomb, for- mer principal of the English School, a game was arranged by Manager Whitney with Brockton High School. Somerville was victorious by a score of 31 to 0. The Brockton boys were greatly outweighed by Somerville, but showed the deter- mination and courage of good losers. Somerville kicked off to Brockton, who at- tempted a forward pass. It met with a failure, and Somerville gained possession of the ball. Hender- son made a sensational run of twenty yards around Brockton’s left end, and Sharrv followed by scor- ing a touchdown around the other. The other touchdowns were gained in much the same manner, and the Brockton boys went home defeated but not disheartened. A large crowd of supporters came with Mr. Whitcomb to witness the game, and this fact speaks well for the patriotism of the school.

The ab- sence of Captain Bowlbv, Forge, and Fitzhcrbcrt was severely felt, although Donovan, in playing fullback, covered himself with laurels by playing a hard and consistent game. Sharrv got off some excellent punts besides doing wonderful work at ground gaining. Somerville resorted to straight football, on account of Coach Riley’s connection with English High. During the last few minutes of play Somerville found her pace and the plays went off with light- ning rapidity, but the rally came too late, for the whistle blew with Somerville on South Boston’s twenty-yard line.

Somerville, l$; Borcbcster, 0 The first league game was played at the Dunbar avenue grounds, Dorchester, and Somerville, as was expected, readily defeated her opponents. The game was bitterly contested, however, by Dor- chester. who played their best game. Somerville, on the other hand, played a sort of listless, erratic game, and did not by any means show up as well as her followers had expected. They were excusable in a certain sense, however, because of the dilatory tactics of their opponents. Dorchester was tardy in oocning the game, and it was not until the whis- tle. to start the second half, had been blown five times that the Dorchester eleven showed them- selves. In the first half Bowlbv kicked off, and on the first play Dorchester circled Somerville’s right end for twenty yards. This was as much as they could do. however, and the ball came into Somerville’s possession. Jarvis gained twenty yards around Dorchester’s left end. and four plunges sent Bowl- by over for a touchdown, after which he kicked the goal. On the next kick-off. Dorchester by a series of tlukcs succeeded in reaching Somerville’s twenty- five-yard line, from whence Rilev tried a goal from the field, but failed. Somerville kicked out. and on the next play secured the ball on an attempted for- ward pass by Dorchester. Eight plays were suffi- cient for Somerville to again send Bowlbv over the line for a touchdown. He kicked the goal success- fully. The half ended with the ball in Dorches- ter’s territory and in Somerville’s possession. The first part of the second half consisted mostly of punting and fumbling until Jarvis succeeded in reeling off twenty yards, after which Sharrv gained twenty and McNeil eighteen. McNeil was pushed over for the final touchdown. Bowlbv kicked the goal. For Somerville Bowlbv. Merrill, Henderson, and Sharrv excelled, while McCarthy and Riley were Dorchester’s stars.

Club Soon after the shades of evening had fallen on the thirty-first day of October, and while the wind whistled through the trees, many dignified seniors of the English High School, laden with jack-o’- lanterns, were discovered creeping stealthily through the dark streets, all aiming for the same goal—the barn at 75 Boston street. Here a glimpse into another world awaited the eager guests. The girls of the X. V. Club had worked untiringly until the sombre barn was com- pletely changed by its decorations of corn-stalks and autumn leaves. Hundreds of lanterns hung from every available place, giving light and enabling the guests to read the amusing posters. The cosy corners placed in the secluded portion of the barn attracted many of the senior boys. Mr. and Mrs. Poor, who so kindly consented to chaperon the young folks, arrived in time to join in the hunt for red ears of corn, and Mr. Poor was made happy by finding the first car. Dancing helped to pass the time for those not caring to learn their fate by the good old Hallow- e'en methods. The latter part of the evening was spent in tell- ing ghost stories, while Hallowe'en dainties were served. At 12 o’clock the party closed with a confetti shower, and soon afterwards the streets were alive with the revellers. The girls present were the Misses Pipe, Loth. Morgan. Ritchie, Worcester, Preston, Douglas, Graves, Lawrence, and Baxter, while the boys who lived to tell the tale were William Henderson. Max Ver Wicbc. Walter Wheeler, Avard Whelplcy, Charles Johnson, William Bishop. Lawrence Pe- terson. Walter Ross, and Walter II. McIntosh. Gamma Siflma Club The Gamma Sigma Club has had two meetings this year, the Misses Fay and Brown becoming members at the second. The officers arc: Presi- dent. Madeline Woodley: vice-president. Marion Foster: secretary. Harriet Whitaker: treasurer, Helen Phelps. A most successful Hallowe’en party was held at the home of Miss Foster, eleven members and twelve young lady guests being present. Hlpba Omcoa The first meeting of the season of the above club was held October P at the home of Miss Grace Burt. Officers were elected and plans made for the ensuing year. On Hallowe’en the members spent a most enjoyable evening at the home of the presi- dent. Miss Inez Merrill. The club anticipates many social occasions for the coming season. ---------------------------- Cbe iRutcibts of tbc Barbie Beart This newly started project is a step to freedom, an innovation which is the result of deliberation on the part of the select few who have sought protec- tion in its sacred recesses. The ones whose meth- odical madness brought them together were, but are no longer, members of the Latin School. But though this notice comes from the obscure depths of the alumni, do not pass it by without one fervent sigh of sympathy. Those who have passed the ordeal required for admission are Gabriel Farrell, Jr., founder by fate; Bergen Reynolds, president, by force of habit: Par- ker Lowell, secretary, by request: and R. Archer Bowlby, member on probation. The motto is, It is better to have been a ‘Has-been’ than a ‘Xevcr- was.’ ” Each member has given an oath to refrain from eating wedding-cake and in other ways to foster the singular spirit of the order. The connubial bliss enjoyed by the champions of this noble cause is not to be broken by the clarion voices of wed- ding-bells. As long as each remains faithful to his pledge, all is well: but woe unto the misguided one who vol- untarily thrusts his neck into the yoke of matri- mony, for he. indeed, will have ample time to re- pent. Furthermore, the one who first becomes a benedict must kill the fatted calf and summon his more loyal brothers around the festive board. Therefore, let it be a warning to all who have cast their lot with us to follow other paths than those leading to temptation.

Thy charms arc manifold, and thy influences for good irresistible. Amidst your pleasure, fellow schoolmates, spend a few moments in serious contemplation, think of your Maker, of Him whose memory we observe this day: think of Him who sacrificed His life that we might live. Think of these things, and to your Yuletidc pleasures will be added the blessings of your Heavenly Father. . Vi It is interesting to note the attempts of school officials in near-by cities to abolish High School social organizations. The would-be extermina- tors” put forth the claim that such societies arc de- cidedly pernicious to school interests, and in some cases this may be true. The primary object of the ideal High School fraternity, however, should be the promotion of school interests in one branch or another, and we believe that clubs whose interests arc antagonistic to those of the school will exter- minate themselves without the aid of anyone. In Somerville the question has not as yet arisen, but when it does arise, as it inevitably must, we hope that those who decide the question will adju- dicate that good fraternities arc almost a necessity to the welfare of a High School, and that in Somer- ville they shall continue to prosper. � . After an unusually long and prosperous season of football, it has, at last, come to an end. and with the end comes the sad news of Somerville’s defeat at the hands of Boston English High School, thereby losing the championship of the Interschol- astic League. We had cherished hopes that the football championship trophy might once again come to Somerville, but our idols have fallen, and our cherished hopes been disappointed. The team knew football well, practiced it well, and played it well, and with the defeat there rests no disgrace. It is entirely due to Coach Cuddy!s untiring and incessant efforts that the team appeared as well as it did. In another page of this issue is found a French story, written by a pupil of the school. The pub- lishing of this is an innovation, which, if the pupils make it possible, will be continued throughout the year. Is it unreasonable to expect one French or German story each month, from a school of fifteen hundred pupils? With the news of Somerville's defeat came the rumor that the services of Coach Charles Cuddy were being solicited by the Brockton High School faculty, and that in all probability Somerville would lose its most efficient and successful coach. The loss of Mr. Cuddy would be irreparable, and it is to be hoped that either the Athletic Associa- tion or the city will immediately offer him some flattering inducement to continue with his Alma Mater. Charles Cuddy graduated from the English School with the class of 1899. During his four years in the School he was very prominent in ath- letics, being a member of the majority of baseball, football, hockey, and track teams which Somerville produced. After attending Brown two years, dur- ing which time he played on the College football and baseball teams, he returned to Somerville and accepted the position of Supervisor of Athletics in the High Schools. Since that time Somerville has been very generously awarded championship tro- phies. and now his resignation would indeed be a loss hard to be borne. We wish to acknowledge with many thanks the innumerable kindnesses of Mr. Jones of English School Art Department to the Radiator staff. ►. r � � The art decorations of the English School have recently been added to by the purchase of several large pictures, consisting of the following: Madonna. Botticelli; Flowing, Rosa Bonheur; Choir of Lincoln Cathedral: (irand Canal, Venice; Study of a Lion. Landseer; Laughing Cavalier, Hals: Melon Eaters, Murillo; The Avenue, Middleharnis.

Begorra. an' will ye jist be afthcr loikin' at tliiin legs o’ hisn.” he cried delightedly, pointing to the aforesaid members, and slapping tiie captain excitedly on the back. He'll no hev nothin 'to do wid the groun’ whin he goes, jist sort o' floiy. h’ will, h' will !” Engine Xo. 28 was in the heart of the city, and many and dangerous were the turns and curves on the avenues comprising its district. On account of its being the hardest, at that station were placed the best men and horses. The nigh horse on the team had developed a spavin and his place must needs be quickly tilled. The other two horses were splendid types of their kind, and McGrim- mons felt he would have a hard time in matching another horse to them. Engine Xo. 28 had always had three handsome gray horses. The men at the Ted D« T. station would have no others, for had not their hitch always been known as the famous grays ? All were now eager to sec what kind of an animal the new horse would be. Tim Reilly, a beautiful dapple-gray, just arrived from his home on an Illi- nois farm, where he had been carefully trained as a colt, was finally chosen. He had successfully passed the rigid examinations, and now was under- going the particular scrutiny of the men. The horse in question patiently awaited the ver- dict. gracefully switching his long, wavy tail, quite unconscious of the admiring remarks and glances bestowed on him. There he stood, arching his beautiful neck and rubbing his nose, soft as a piece of velvet, up and down the sleeve of Jim Scully, the driver. The horse was of the type which careful breeding had developed at the farm where he was raised. His head, not large, broad, square forehead with plenty of space between the clear black eyes, showing a full measure of intelli- gence. was surmounted by a pair of small ears car- ried well forward at all times, giving evidence that he was awake to all going on around him. The neck, graceful, and full where it joined the body, was well balanced by the broad, full chest, plainly indicating that the supply of lung tissue was not wanting when the test had been made. The body, not too long, was protected by a set of ribs extend- ing well back to the hip-bone, where the full- rounded rump finished out the body. This in turn was supported by a set of limbs in the upper joints of which a set of muscles stood as evidence of the great part they were to play in the future career of the animal. These were reinforced by the lower joints, flat and broad, with nothing but bone and sinew. Then they were perfectly balanced on four black hoofs of smooth horn, making the perfect foot. As McGrimnions said. Ye’ll no found th loike o' 'im .in th’ department. Strength, speed, and beauty were personified in the noble horse. The work of training came now, but the intelli- gent creature comprehended so quickly what was wanted of him that it was soon accomplished. Ev- ery day under Jim Scully’s gentle guidance lie be- came more and more familiar with the alarms, and his position on the big engine,—his almost human eyes shining with expectation, and his delicate nos- trils distended with excitement as he answered signal after signal. Great was the .love and affection between man and brute. “Jim and Tim soon became a by-word among the men. Every morning Jim cleaned and rubbed Tim's already glossy sides till they were smootn as satin. The long, bushy tail and soft mane were combed and brushed very carefully; then he entered his stall ready for whatever the day had in store for nim. The men did not understand Jim Scully. He had come to his place unassumingly, and very quietly went about his work,—a tall, finely-built young giant, carrying his strength easily and grace- fully. Ilis stern, set face rarely broke into a smile, but when with his beloved Tim. a tenderness came over it. softening its harsh lines. He lavished all his affection on the horse, who reciprocated it. Xone knew that in his heart he carried a great sor- row, and strove daily to conquer it. He had mar- ried a young girl whom he loved and thought she returned it. but one night, coming home late, he found her gone. Only a note was left. His wife, whom lie thought was loyal—a friend whom he would have trusted with his life—that was all.

Mais son pere. que tout le monde croyait possedcr unc certaine ais- ancc, etait mort sans lui laisser d’autre bien que sa niaison. Quand les parents de la fiancee de Jean appa- rent cc qu'il en etait. ils s’opposerent au manage de leur fille, qui devait etre celebre quelques mois apres les fiancailles. Cependant la jeunc fille aimait Jean, malgre sa situation pen fortunec. Jean le savait, et ccla rendait sa peine plus vivc; il savait aussi que sa fiancee 1'aimait pour lui- memc ct non pour son bien. Jean meditait sou vent les paroles que son pere, tin original fictTe. avait prononcecs quelquc temps avant sa mort.

I have my trials and tribulations, many of them! Fancy my feelings, gentle reader, when, before 1 leave my home, a man approaches and. without asking my permission, deliberately proceeds to tack a placard on me to announce the arrival of the Sportsman's Show, the Food Fair, or any other matter of interest to the public. It would give me great satisfaction to display my disapprobation of such an act forcibly! But how my heart swells with pride when I learn that I am to be the bearer of a card proclaiming a football or baseball game between Harvard and Yale, for I am a most loyal supporter of the crimson, and you see how very proudly I flaunt the colors of Fair Harvard.” I am an ardent admirer of athletics, and myself many times indulge in long runs. 1 am an advertising board for everything from Campbell’s Soups to Omega Oil. but I am greatly offended when my master places an advertisement upon me. which, despite the significant fact that it contains two or three nonsensical pic- tures. reads Say Zu Zu to the Grocer-Man.” I witness many sorrowful as well as joyful scenes: some of such a nature that, in attempting to control mv deep emotions, I accidentally extin- guish my electric light, and either shudder with «ear or laugh with delight at the spectacle before me. Then 1 hear common-place folks remark. Oh, the trolley is off,” and I flash and quiver with indigna- tion. How extremely rude of them to make so light of my agitation! Unfortunately I possess a revengeful nature, inherited from my uncle, an ele- vated car, and I generally carry such uncharitable persons past their destination, and then stop in an abrupt manner, directly in front of a little puddle, smiling to myself at perceiving the awkward pre- dicament in which they are placed, and the many times that I, only an electric car. force them to utter.

Everything bespeaks the great festive season of the year. Alt. what a picture! There is a young maiden, her charming face aglow, and her arms laden with holly. Here is the tired, care-worn mother, weary after her shopping, burdened with bundles, from one of which the handle of a small cart is protruding. Next to her is a wee. tiny tot. with golden curls and a face of unspeakable love- liness, who has been leading a most strenuous day —a far too strenuous day—for the Sand-Man has completed his work, and she is far away in Hush- a-Bye Land. 1 presume that she is now dreaming of the wonderful toys and sugar-plums which Santa Claus is to bring her. There is a fine young fellow, a perfect type of American manhood. How especially devoted he is to that sweet young crea- ture at his side! Ah! here is 'Pommy, with whom 1 am well ac- quainted.

Giles, X., ’08 '1' is about dusk Christmas eve. aud Newspaper Row is alive with the bustle and commotion accompanying the late editions of the various papers. The streets fairly teem with almost every class of conveyance from the large, bulky, four-horse dray, laboriously treading its passage through this labyrinth of men. horses, and carriages, to the light electric runabout darting here and there with exemplary skill and precision on the part of the chauffeur. Throngs of people separated into two confused streams of humanity skirl this pandemonjum of noise and energy. En- veloping all is a certain Christmaslike atmospheric influence. In the condensed and compressed line of vehicles is a cab which suddenly brings un- expected conspicuousness upon itself as a result of the action of its occupant, an elderly gentleman, whom one would judge to be over the threescore mark, clad in a great fur coat. 'Hie door of the carriage is violently pushed open. and. summoning the driver to pause, he jumps out. takes five or six |tiick leaps to the sidewalk, and. to the amazement of all. seizes a man with a prominent black beard by the shoulder, and calls lustily. Police! Police! It need not be told that for full ten minutes after this Washington street was held up. and that crowds.—but then, a description of a city mob is not in order, for every one knows the peculiar curi- osity which impels one. if anything happens in the city, and he. passing by, hears vague rumors of it, to edge his way forward until his inquisitiveness has been appeased. Then it is only necessary to add that the policemen had to fight, actually fight their way to the scene of action. Ho! What's the matter here? demands the first policeman to arrive. li-have th-this in-man arrested, s-sir,” orders the aggressor, his voice trembling with suppressed passion. Why?” asks the official. He’s a scoundrel, a murderer. he says rapidly and resolutely, with plainer accent. What have you got to sav? again mechanically interrogates one of O'Meara's best to the accused. I repeat that I have never seen this man before. 1 was-----” “You have, you rascal, interposes the old man •vehemently.

I trust, sir. you realize your mistake,” and with these words he at- tempts to leave. Xot so easy, my hearty,” cautions the police- man. and while he lightly taps him on the shoulder, a distinct titter, followed by a great clamor, breaks over the crowd. Why. the impudence! Is every one liable to be arrested on the word of any one?” Any one. every one. Put enough of this. You gentlemen will have to explain matters to the cap- tain. I ain’t no judge,” he adds, as the accused tries to force his side of the case on him. The policemen then escort their charges to the station house, two blocks distant. Wavering emo- tions are in turn portrayed on the old man’s face and his manner during their short walk. First there is an expression of maddened frenzy: then a deeply hostile look of re- vengeful anger clouds his face, followed swiftly by delightful exultation; then arrives the turning point under the disguise of tran- quil quietude, after which suspicious doubt appears, and is dismissed by troubled anxiety, which, coupled with an extremely nervous temperament, leaves him in no happy frame of mind when he enters the station house. When thy desk sergeant is beginning to record, he is interrupted by the quavering voice of the old man, who. with a white, frightened face, announces his suspicions that he has been in error, and re- quests that he may be allowed to get his spectacles. Where are they? inquires the captain, who has joined the group from an adjacent room. Upon being informed, the captain calls. “Ramber!” Yes. sir. responds that individual. Go after them.” During the interval till Rambler’s return, the de- tained man goes over to the police captain and re- monstrates to him concerning his treatment, but cannot get any satisfaction. Presently Ramber re- turns. and, obeying a nod of his captain, gives the glasses to their owner. There is profound stillness in the room, except for the ticking of the clock and faint murmurings of the crowd without, while he hurriedly wipes them, and with twitching fingers places them on his nose. I’ve made a mistake!” the old man cries out brokenly. A thousand apologies, my good man. What can I do for you? nervously pulling a wallet from his pocket. Nothing,” says the man addressed, “unless you withdraw your charge and hand over all the money you have.” Loth, gladly.” assents the old man. suiting his action to his word. The other takes his departure in a not unhappy frame of mind, and after the slam- ming of the door has died away, the captain ob- serves :— Well, sir. you got out of that scrape easy enough. ny other man might have sued you for libel, but I suppose that fellow, on account of your prudent gift, is thanking his stars that ’twas he you pounced upon. Arc you in the custom of mistak- ing persons in this way?” drily. After a short pause, receiving no answer, as the old gentleman seemed lost in thought, he intimates: ■ Perhaps, sir, there is a sufficiently good cause for tins:” Those words act as if they have touched some hidden chord in the elderly man’s constitution, for THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 53 he is roused from his lethargy, and. rising, says, with a slight accent, in a broken and pathetic voice: ’‘Sufficiently good cause, did you say? Pis a long story, hut I will relate it to you. His tone be- comes reflective as he resumes: I am a Russian, and it is because I have become Americanized through over thirty-five years’ intercourse with Americans that I seem to have shaken off those peculiarities which characterize a Russian. When I reached manhood. I emigrated from Russia to America. Six years ago I visited my native land, with my son Ivan, a fine specimen of a young man, twenty-five years of age. We were leisurely walk- ing down an avenue near the splendid Ncoski in St. Petersburg one afternoon. Being surprised by loud shrieks for help, we hastened forward in the direction of the outcries. We had just reached there, when a sudden rush of men scurrying by knocked me down. Of what followed I have but a vague idea. Pistol shots rang out. Policemen ran up, and to my astonishment and indignation Ivan and I were bound by gendarmes and flung into a covered sledge that quickly dashed off. In about ten minutes the carriage stopped for a mo- ment. a challenge, a clangor of chains, creaking gates were opened, by which I conjectured we were in a fortress of some sort. Pear and terror look- possession of me. although I knew I was free from guilt. To add to my cup of woe was the agonizing discovery that Ivan, Ivan, my only child, was un- conscious, bleeding freely from a sabre wound across the forehead. It is unnecessary to tell about the trials and inquisitions we were compelled to face, the absolute indifference and stoical uncon- cern paid to my frantic appeals of innocence. I learned that my son and T were on the rack as Nihilists. They claimed we belonged to the band which had. fatally beaten and shot M. Vivansky, a man high up in police circles and wielding great influence. I tried to convince my judges that we had endeavored to aid him, but my pleas were of no avail, as they preferred to count circumstantial evidence more than our words. In the gloomy- dusk the stupid policeman mistook us for the as- sailants. We were thrown into separate four-by- six dark, damp cells, under solitary confinement. 'I hose who have never undergone anything like solitary confinement can hardly realize what tor- ture it involves. The black monotony of our lives was only varied by chastisement. To describe the agony and anguish I endured is beyond mortal man. After three weeks of the most acute mental and physical suffering had elapsed. 1 was taken out and hurled into a gang of shivering, emaciated pris- oners. in which I found my son. Needless to say. I hardly recognized him. so harmfully had his un- cared-for wound and that barbarous method of in- carceration dealt with him. We were all herded together, put on the train by oaths and blows, and proceeded by elope to Tchcrnigov. I cannot find words to express the awful experiences and misery that attended us during that terrible trip. We, Ivan and I. were under the merciless surveillance of a big ruffian. Pankraticv, a fellow who demon- strated too often his authority by his stained sword and powerful fists. When I would attempt to ease my son’s distress, he would strike us with the flat of his sabre, and command with dreadful oaths to be still. I noticed with apprehension that Ivan was wasting gradually, and one day 1 demanded medi- cal treatment for him. Then Pankraticv. in a fit of rage, raised his sword and struck my defenceless boy. and he----’’ Here the speaker breaks down. and. burying his face in Irs hands, tears of sorrow and grief trickle down the marked furrows of his face. After a few minutes, he looks up. saying slowly:— “Mv friends, that scoundrel killed, murdered my son-. At that instant I think I became momentarily insane, for I remember, as if through a haze, that I fought the guard, was defeated, beaten into in- scnsibilit v. and in some way or other tumbled off the trahi. I will not burden you with another such terrifying story of how I escaped to Germany, and thence came to Boston.” The old man paused. Then he said, with a far-away look in his eyes: It was Christmas eve that Ivan was killed. Every Christmas eve since then I have seen Pankraticv in a crowd. T thought 1 saw him to-night, but I made a mis- take:” 'fhe old gentleman wearily passes his hand across his brow, and silence ensues. H Christinas Cbouobt .1G ? X. B. It..

Buna Hvrcs, E ., '0? !l long-lookcd-for feast of Christmas had come, and was fast stealing away, for it was twilight, and already the escaping light from the magnifi- cent reception hall in the Carroll mansion, one of the palatial dwellings on the Westford City East Side. shone forth brightly on the falling snow. Part. also, of the illumination gleamed into an adjoining richly- furnislud room, and revealed the slender form of a girl seated at a piano. '1 hai she was a child of the rich was clearly indi- cated not only by her attire and surroundings, but also by her verv manners and features. Yet she was rot a haughty beauty.—rather her abundant black nair, clear white skin, regular features, and deep-set gray eyes presented a truly lovely pic- ture : though at the moment, the sadness portrayed in those beautiful eyes seemed out of place, as her lingers wandered listlessly over the keys, sounding a melancholy strain. Prescntiv she arose, and from the cabinet se- lected an old ballad, but after playing over the in- troduction, the tears so dimmed her eyes and over- came her, that she walked to a window, and gazed out into the street at the softly-falling snow. Just then a party of young people, friends of hers, were passing, and she was attracted by the mention of her own name. Have you seen En- gele Carroll's brother Frank since he got home?” one of the girls was asking, while the reply came. Oh. no Engle hasn't let anyone sec him yet! laughingly, and a third put in. Well. I don't blame her for being immensely proud of him.—president of his class and of that club at Kimball, football captain—— Well. I guess they'll have a 'Merry Christmas.’” now interrupted one of the boys, without-----” the remaining words were lost. Merry Christmas! How harshly the words had grated on Engclc’s cars then ; but a day, even a few hours before, they had not done so! Invol- untarily she glanced across the room, where her e «:s fell on the portrait of a tall, athletic young man. whose dark hair, clear-cut features, and in- telligent gray eyes claimed her unmistakably as his sister Proudly she recalled the words which had been said of him: and had he not deserved praise? For his sister well realized that Capt.” { anoii was known far and wide on account of his p -polarity among both faculty and student-body at Kimbr.il University, and she smiled as she thought of some of the amusing tales which he had told, the picvious night, of college life, and of the do- ings of the Lucky Thirteen,” the club which had been mentioned. Then a piece of music slipped to the floor, and, when she discovered that it was the unplaced bal- lad. all her previous sadness returned, and her mind turned to the morning, when Frank, in his rich bass voice, had sung the melody. Now—where was he? Possibly on a western-bound train, pos- sibly on a foreign steamer,—at all events, an out- cast on the wide world, without money, disinher- ited forever. because, simply because he was a college man. and would not bear the insults which his father had heaped upon collegians as a class. This train of thought brought back forcefully to Engele’s mind the bitter quarrel which had that afternoon taken place between her father and brother, ending first in the latter’s discharge from college, and last in his utter disinheritance, thus making this Christmas day the most unhappy in Engele’s life of eighteen years. Hurriedly at first she considered the causes of the trouble, and then, as her grieved brain could think of nothing else, she attempted to analyze the whole affair, while in her mind the contemptuous words of her father still sounded, ‘’College men! Idlers! That her parent had never exactly approved of college education she was aware, but Frank's Freshman and Sophomore years at Kimball had gone smoothly enough, and though at his frequent appeals by letter for more money to pay school expenses her father had complained against col- leg j spendthrifts, the girl was growing to think that her well-beloved but eccentric guardian had come to believe thoroughly in college training. However, when week before these holidays, her brother had written, asking permission to bring three college friends, who, he stated, can't go home for Christmas, and arc members of the ‘Lucky Thirteen,’ that club I’m chairman of,” though she never knew what answer he received, she noticed that lie arrived in Wcstfoid alone on Christmas eve. and the greeting between father and son was somewhat strained and less cordial than on former occasions. Yet no serious outbreak had disturbed the family peace until at the Christmas dinner, Mr. Carroll was summoned to the telephone and returned with the information that one of his employees, shame- mi to say. a Kimball graduate, had disappeared with a large sum of money. Garland, father! exclaimed Frank, on hearing the news; why, he couldn’t have stolen it!” Couldn’t have? Well, he did. the cowardly thief! Impossible! Why, T know him well, and a bet- ter fellow never lived. He is a college graduate!” These words increased his irate father’s wrath to the utmost, and he now vowed vengeance on col- leges in general, and denounced their graduates in the bitterest terms, ending with the exclamation, “Cowards!” at which word, loyalty to his Alma Mater compelled the young man to take objection, for in his mind, though a thief was miserable enough, a coward was the last straw.” Then en- sued the bitter quarrel, ending with such disas- trous results for the son. Fngcle shuddered, as the strokes of the hall THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 55 clock sounding eleven brought her back to the present, and she went to her own room to prepare for retiring. She lapsed into a reverie of unan- swerable questions. What would the world in general be informed concerning Frank’s disappear- ance? When would her father notify President I’utler of his sudden withdrawal from Kimball? And what would Kimball do without him? How could the Lucky 'thirteen” progress without their chairman? Put. most important, where was he now? In sheer desperation, the troubled girl turned off the light and fell on her knefcs to pray for that dear one’s safety. How long she remained in tiiis attitude she could not tell, but when she arose and looked from her window it was a scene of peace and tranquillity which greeted her eyes; for the snow had ceased falling, the pale moon was slowly but surely win- ning in its struggle with the overhanging clouds, and even now its soft rays were falling on the glis- tening snow. A spirit of thankfulness, nay. almost happiness, stole over her recently unhappy spirit, and she fell asleep, recalling, first, her brother's words to his father. ‘'Perhaps some day my oppor- tunity will come to show you that all college men aren’t unworthy or cowards.” and then her own last words to Frank. Why. in two days papa will be scouring the country for you. begging you to come back, and sending you to college again! And though at the time she did not in the least credit this speech, the thought came to her that perhaps—ves, the fulfillment of her words might be possible! On the second day following, Engelc’s hopes had so risen that she was almost positive that her brother would be with her again that night, though how he would get there was a mystery. When her father announced, though, that there would be an early dinner, as important business would necessi- tate his absence for a long evening, the daughter believed that her mystery was solved, and became so intoxicated with delight that, accidentally, she mentioned her brother’s name in the course of the meal. '1 hen the stern command never to men- tion that name in his presence again. and the mur- mur, Coward! dashed her hopes to ruin, while she lied in the deepest remorse to her room, so crazed by disappointment that she could neither weep nor pray. Meanwhile, her father donned his fur overcoat, and set out upon his journey in such a passion from the mere mention of his son’s name that lie walked some distance before he realized that he was at six o’clock to inspect a factory in Westford with views of purchasing, and that it was now within twenty minutes of that hour. He was now in the business district, but quite in an opposite direction from the factory, therefore he boarded a south-bound surface car. which he found to be filled with laboring men who were returning from their daily toil. Mr. Carroll seated himself in a rear corner and scanned the faces of the tired men about him. thinking. These are the true men ! The brave men! Xo cowards here. I’ll vouch, yet they never saw a primary school, let alone college! and at the last word all his former bitterness returned, so that he was not aroused from his reverie until the voice of the conductor exclaimed. Westford Station! Huriiedly lie rose, for the next stop after crossing the railroad tracks was his destina- tion. For some reason the car remained still, and the six o’clock whistle reminded him that he was al- ready due. So he stepped to the door and said, sternly, to the conductor. What’s the matter with this car?” Express is coming,” came the brief reply. Why. man alive.” exclaimed the old gentleman, there’s time for three cars to cross before that train gets here! The car will wait until the express passes,” re- plied the conductor. Confound your insolence! muttered Mr. Car- roll. I’ll have your number, and I’ll report you! I’ll get off myself and cross the track!” he finished, and. suiting the action to the word, he set out to cross the several sets of tracks at the station. The whistle of the oncoming train informed him that it was now about two hundred yards distant, and he was positive of getting safely across. How- ever. in nervousness, his right foot caught under the further rail of the very track which the engine was on. and he grew so excited that he was unable to remove it from between the iron and the wet sand. What should he do? Fear encompassed him. and. for once in his life, the ever-obstinate man saw his folly. Yet this was no time for re- pentance,—It was time for action. The express was now barely a hundred yards distant, and though he tried to cry out, his very voice choked, as nearer, nearer came the express, while he. in sheer despair, lay prepared to meet his fate— death! Suddenly amidst the noise of the engine, which now was but a few yards from his prostrate figure, he became aware that a clear voice behind him was crying. Don’t lose your presence of mind! Throw yourself over the track! and he felt strong hands removing the captive foot. Also he could hear an- other rough voice calling. “Come on back, young feller, and let the old duffer go1’’ but the young voice behind him still commanded. Roll over!” When the old gentleman recovered himself, some few minutes later, he found himself unhurt, seated on the ground. Hastily he arose, and saw that a multitude were gathered near, though all were watching a prostrate body being brought into the station. As no one seemed to be looking at him. Mr. Carroll had time for consideration. This man had saved his life: and. though, in those awful mo- ments. the voice of this savior had sounded strangely familiar, he put away the thought: de- cided that he would do what was in his power for the young man. whoever he was: and entered the station. Then he discovered that the brave man was no other than the young conductor to whom he had 56 TIIK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR been so hasty. The officials were pouring stimu- lants down tiie throat of the seemingly lifeless form, when the saved man approached the station- master. and said, briefly. 1 am Francis W. Carroll, and tnis man lias saved mv life! Have him taken directly to my home, where I will attend to him!” Then he left the depot, hailed a cab, and ordering the cabman to go to the car stables at top speed, and then to wait outside for him, he decided just what course lie should take.

Here he is now.” Whitney.” inquired the president, “what do you know of John Smith, 1?5 Main Street? How long's he been on?” John Smith? On? Since yesterday morning. Ordway, the regular, is laid up. so I put him on. Men were scarce, and-----” Know anything more about him?” interrupted President Conley. Any conversation with him?” Well—yes,- I remember now. His number was 1354, wasn’t it? Seemed to be a pleasant chap, and we joked a little about the number. He said I was bound to give him good luck, with thir- teen at the beginning of his number and also the sum of it. Said that it was his lucky number, al- ways. That's all.” Guess it was a lucky one for him, all right.” re- marked Mr. Conley. “Carroll here is going to settle a fortune on him, or, if lie hasn’t any family, adopt him!” Lord!” ejaculated, the old gentleman, rising, “he may be dead! remembering the condition he had last seen the “lucky one” in. “Good-night!” hur- rying out to the cab,, and commanding the cabman to hasten. When he reached home, by the sound of the phy- sician’s voice, he knew that the sick man must be on the second floor, so, mounting the stairs, he found that Dr. Hall’s voice came from the room which had formerly been his son’s. He started to enter the door, but the sight which he beheld rendered him both speechless and mo- tionless. There in the bed, indeed, was the form of his savior, for the cap 1354 lay on the floor. But on a chair beside him. and with both arms about his neck, was his daughter. 'Phis was too much, ves, far too much.—for. though the conductor was a hero, that his Engclc should conduct herself in this way was more than the pride of her father could well endure! Engele,” the medical man was remonstrating, “stop, child! You’ll smother the boy. or throw him into another faint! while a weak voice from the bed said. Oh. no! I’m all right now. doctor.” Mr. Carroll took a step forward. “Engele! he sternly cried: but the girl did not move. Just then l)r. Hall became aware of his presence, and led him to the bedside. “Your son,” lie said, slowly, “is only stunned by the shock incurred from the engine riding over his body. Not a bone is broken, and. with his consti- tution. we ll have him ready to go back to college when school opens.” Engele now lifted her head and the father gazed at the pale face on the pillow. Frank!” he cried. “Oh! My boy!” And at that moment, father and son became reunited forever. “But talking of good times,” exclaimed Kendall, one of the “Lucky Thirteen,” as that club were gathered in their chairman’s spacious room at Kimball, the night following New Year’s, telling vacation tales, here’s Cap’ Carroll grown thin and pale on his!” Right you are. Kennie.” said another, as all eyes were turned towards Frank, inquiringly. Well. I did have a good time, fellows.” he said, “but before I forget. I have a request to make to you from my father. He wants the whole crowd for the Easter vacation. Don’t refuse, now, be- cause he and my sister arc planning for it even now.” A hearty “three times three” was immediately given for the speaker, while his thoughts wandered to the scene of the previous night, and his father’s parting words, Yes. T want everyone to come. Frank, because if all the Lucky Thirteen” are as brave as their chairman,—it’s well to have them near! Also to Engele’s happy reply. Oh. know they’ll come, and what I prophesy comes true!” At that moment, a footstep in the hall-way in- terrupted his thoughts and the boys' lusty cheer- ing; and, as they departed with hurried good- nights. none realized how near they had come to losing their beloved Captain” Carroll, or dreamed of what manner of good time” he had enjoyed. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 57 An itinerant tinker, whose tattered feet seemed not half so lame as the feet of his limping poetry, strolled into the office of the Sagacious Sage the other afternoon, and endeavored to sell the site, architect’s plans, and timber for a schoolhouse dictionary. Perhaps the majority of the readers of this col- umn are not aware that the Sagacious Sage has an office. We have, honestly. As to whether we we came bv it honestly, or whether the rent is paid, is another matter. We arc occupying the office. And we have a typewriter. She is a Rem- ington blonde.

During the past two years this club has been very successful in all its social events, enjoying many parties and outings. The first meeting of the club this year was held at the home of Miss Mabel Tccle. 33 Wallace street, and the second meeting was held at the home of Miss Hester Phil- brick. 15 Wheatland street. A very pleasant even- ing was enjoyed by all at both the girls' homes. The club officers are as follows: President. Miss Hester Philbrick; vice-president. Miss Mildred Jones; treasurer. Miss Edith Babcock; secretary, Miss Genevieve Bryan. TUK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR A novel idea has been adopted by one or two of our exchanges, which is quite an addition, namely: that instead of having any jokes in their exchange columns, they confine these sections to exchange criticisms, and in other parts of the paper have what is called in one. Pick-ups,” and in another, Acorns,” both devoted simply to humor. Ci’mson ami White, according to your Pick- ups” column, you must have an unusually brilliant collection of pupils. Still, as these arc the people that make the world go round, give them all due encouragement. There's always a chance that they may know better some day. You can lead a horse to water. But you cannot make him drink; You can ride a Latin pony. But vou cannot tnak • him think. —Ex. Teacher: I don’t believe you are studying your geogiapiiy. Johnny.” Johnny: No. mum; I heard it said that the ways of the work! were changing every day, so I thought I would wait a few vears until it got set- tled. —Ex. Ai.hough a thin paper, the Senior, Westerly, R. I., is very good. We wonder why it isn’t put in magazine form with some attractive cover. Then so much more might be made out of it. The Jabbeiwock is unusually good this last issue with its interesting stories, but do the authors never sign their names? We received a very bright little paper from Bur- lingham. Kansas, the High School Oracle, and hope that in the future its collection of stories will be more extended. She: How kind of you to bring me these beau- tiful flowers; they are so nice and fresh. I think there is some dew on them yet.” He: Yes, there is a little bit. but I pay that to- morrow.” There is so much bad in the best of us, and so much good in the worst of us. that it hardly be- hooves any of us to talk about the rest of us.” Wiiat a funny little cover you have, Donney- brook Fair, but it is strikingly original, and so much the better. As a paper you are neat, concise, and well written all through. The P. If. S. Argosy, Provincetown, Mass., is but a recruit within our ranks, but has done very well for a first number, and we trust that ’ it will prove a great success. However, in order to be successful, it must do more towards an exchange column. The Quill. Passaic. X. Y., has a very artistic cover and is very well run. but where, oh, where has your little exchange column gone?” Advance, Salem, please at least change the color of the cover of your next issue. Pink is very pretty in its place, but not on book covers. “The Legend of the Saugus River,” in the Saugus High School Advocate, is quite original. Man is like unto a kerosene lamp. He isn’t especially bright, lie’s often turned down, usually smokes, and frequently goes out at night.”—Ex. Latin instructor (to student translating): Don’t you think it is pretty near time that you turned the page? You’ve rendered the first five lines on the next page already.” ()f all the exchanges so far received, the Quar- terly Tatler is by far the best: from cover to cover it shows thought, wit. and talent. Its cover is remarkably tasteful and harmonious. Still we must remember that they have this great advan- tage.—that is, in issuing only quarterly numbers, their paper ought to be better.

TDcbatfno Society It is fitting at this period in the year to say a few words regarding the Debating Society of our Eng- lish School. Since its debut, now nearly a year ago. it has been a source of pleasure and improve- ment for those interested in debate, and the rpies- tions of the day. Although the membership is limited to fifty, outsiders arc most welcome at the meetings, and have shown a kindly interest by at- tendance. Looking over the record of this organ- ization. now approaching its first birthday, no gift could more fittingly become it than a just review of its accomplishments. From those timid de- claimed of uncertain phrases of the first few meet- ings have blossomed forth earnest champions of 6o THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR principles, rising from careful investigation of the questions under discussion. The lessons of inde- pendent thinking, scholarly research, and ability to express one's self creditably, are the chief advan- tages which we claim for our Debating Society. And we desire to continue in these lines until it is said that the Somerville English High School has a greater prowess in her debating than her athletic powers parade. The subject under discussion at the meeting held November 12, 1900. was, Has the printing press or the steam engine done the greater good for mankind?” The leading speakers in this debate were Mr. Holmes and Miss Harrison for the print- ing press, and Mr. Hutchinson and Miss Coyne for the steam engine. The judges were Miss Davis. Miss Gray, and Mr. Earle. Each side was ably supported from the floor, but the number of points given by each side was so nearly equal that the judges decided that the debate was a tic. On November 26, 1906, we discussed the subject, “Resolved, that the orator has had a greater influ- ence upon political history than the editor.” The leading speakers at this debate were Mr. Earle and Miss Jefferson for the editor, and Mr. Chectham and Miss Hager for the orator. The judges were Miss I’.urroughs. Miss Newhall. and Miss Wood- ward. The decision was rendered by Miss New- hall in favor of the orator. ()nc of the most interesting and exciting debates we have had was held December 10, 1906. “Is territorial expansion of advantage to the United States? was the question under discussion. Mr. Campbell and Miss Jennings defended the affirma- tive and Mr. Marshall defended the negative alone on account of the absence of Miss Snow. Miss Snow's paper was read, however, and aided Mr. Marshall materially. The judges were Mr. Poor. Miss Campbell, and Miss Tuell. The decision was rendered by Mr. Poor in favor of the negative side. In his address Mr. Poor said that the negative had brought up points in the ratio of five to three for the number brought up by the affirmative, that the speech of the opening negative speaker (Mr. Mar- shall) contained some unrefutable arguments, and that his side had been aided from the floor. To Mr. Marshall is due the extra honor on account of his victory against the larger number on the affir- mative side, and the excellent speeches of Mr. Campbell and Miss Jennings. ------------------------------- X. 1I . EC Club I lie I.. P. 1). Club gave its first party of the sea- son December . , in the form of a candy pull. By eight o’clock the guests had assembled at the home of ynnifred Laurence. S Miner street, and games were played. William Bishop won the first prize, and the booby was awarded to Avard Whelplev, who. we all suspect, was trying for nothing higher. Early in the evening the girls and boys donned aprons and assisted the club girls in shelling pea- nuts, popping corn, and pulling candy, while the kitchen resounded with laughter and bright re- marks. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing. Very near midnight all voices joined in the song of Good Night.

Besides its regular meetings, which are largely attended, the club has always run a very successful basket ball team, whose encounters in Bacon Hall during the win- ters of '01, ’02, and '0.5 with the well-remembered Phi Delta team of Latin. '03, arc still talked of. Besides this, during the past two years the club has presented a play in Unitarian Hall, which has be- come an annual social function in the minds of Somerville people. This year tiie play will be given in Unitarian Hall on January 1 . 1907, and bids fair to be the best yet. Rehearsals are well under way. and the committee in charge have nearly completed all ar- rangements. The cast, according to custom, will not be announced until the week of the public per- formance. Prominent men of the business, political, and professional world entertain the club members at the regular meetings. Last year some of the speakers were: Sam Walter Boss, Rev. Peter Mac- Queen, Representative Luce, and Lawyer Edward Flynn. The first speaker of this year was Dr. Laurence J. Dervin, of Somerville, Md.. Munich, '03. who entertained the club December 3 with a delightful discourse on “Student Life in Germany.” Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., is scheduled for one of the early meetings of the new year.

Lowell Textile School was their opponent. Somerville won the toss and gave them the kick- off. Sharrv, after skirting the right and left ends, punted, and Ellis run it in twenty yards before be- ing tackled. The rest of the first half consisted mostly of punts and spectacular end runs. Lowell Textile’s gains resulted mostly from line plunges, and at no time until the score was made did they come within striking distance of Somer- ville’s goal. The second half opened with Somerville offside on the kick-off. and after being penalized five yards Somerville kicked again.

Somerville, o ; Boston lEiuilisb Iblflb, 0 At Broadway field, Saturday, November 17, Somerville lined up for her second league game and against her most formidable opponent for championship honors, Boston English High School. After forty minutes of play, the teams retired, leaving the score a tie. 0 to 0. English High won the toss-up and allowed Som- erville the kick-off. English High failed to make their distance and punted to Henderson, who ran it in fifteen yards. After an exchange of punts English High secured the ball on Somerville’s twenty-five-yard line. Here they were penalized fifteen yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. Mer- rill got under the next play and stopped success- fully. Parle punted to Henderson, who on the next play succeeded in making his distance. On the next play Bowlby punted to O’Brien, and Parle returned the punt on the next play, which was caught by Mixer, who made a spectacular run. The second half opened with an exchange of punts. The visitors fumbled and Mixer dropped on the ball, leaving it in Somerville's possession on the thirty-five-vard line. McNeill was substituted for Henderson, who had sustained a serious injury to his ankle. Bowlby attempted a goal from the field, but missed it. For English High the members of the back field played an excellent game. Sharrv. Henderson. Bowlby. and Mixer played a good game for Som- erville. SOMERVILLE HIGH. ENGLISH HIGH.

Rindgc Manual Training School. During the fifty minutes of play Somerville suc- ceeded in making but two points. The score was a bitter disappointment to the team, as well as fol- lowers. The safety was made in the middle of the first half, when Gustin blocked an attempted punt from Rindgc’s ten-yard line. The game started shortly after ten o’clock, Rindgc winning the toss-up. Bowlby kicked off to McKenzie on the twenty-yard line. On the next play Somerville was penalized five yards for offside play. Rindgc tried the forward pass but failed. Somerville also lost the ball on an attempted for- ward pass. Line-bucking tactics were now attempted, but their efforts were fruitless and Griffin was obliged to punt. After a series of good gains Somerville lost the ball on downs. Soon after the score was made and the half closed with the ball in Somerville's possession on Rindgc’s forty-yard line. The second half opened with a long run by Jar- vis. Sharry made forty yards around the end but was called back because he ran outside. Rindgc made two attempts at a goal from the field but both failed and the half ended with score Somerville. 2. R. M. T. S.. 0. Gustin.

December 8, Som- erville closed Iter football season, going down to defeat at the hands of Boston English High School. The game was the most fiercely con- tested school gridiron battle witnessed within the vicinity of Boston for many years. Earlier in the season Somerville and English High played a tie, and as the championship rested with them, it was decided to play another game to settle the question of supremacy. Eor the first time since the organization of the Interscholastic League the championship honors have undeniably gone to another city. The game developed into a punting contest, and frequent punts were made on the second down. In the second half Somerville started off with a whirlwind attack by consistent line plunging and end-plays, succeeding in rushing the ball to the middle of the field, where it was lost on an at- tempted forward pass. English High upon obtaining the ball made a de- cided brace and soon had the ball on Somerville’s five-yard line, where the ball was fumbled and a Somerville man lost the opportunity of saving the game by not falling on it. Instead he attempted to pick it up and failed. O'Brien. English High’s left halfback, was pushed over for a touchdown on the next play. The game ended with the ball in possession of Somerville on English High’s foriy-five-vard line. Eor Somerville. Sharry. Jarvis, and Garland ex- celled. and the English High backficld played a very effective game. ENGLISH HIGH. SOMERVILLE HIGH. Lally, l.c..................................r.e..

The '07 boys, though outweighed, played a plucky and consistent game throughout, rallying at critical times and time after time making their distance. By a series of flukes Mitchell School scored a touchdown early in the game, after which the Eng- lish School boys made a brace, and their efforts were awarded by a safety and a touchdown.

You know he didn't find us last year. Well—or—you see. you didn’t know me last year, and—well. Santa and I are old pals. Yes. I’ll surely see him before he reaches Lone Pine. Now. honey, you jump down and fetch me my cap and coat while I put on my boots, for it’s a cold night and Santa is in a hurry. Off trudged daddy, leaving the little girls to watch him until the bend of the road hid him from sight. Less than a year before the children’s father had been killed by a sudden caving in of the mine, leav- ing them without a friend until daddy, or Mr. Bob White, as he was called, adopted them and began to give them a bringing up.” The snow fell faster and faster, the north wind howled through the leafless tress, but daddy, never faltering, trudged steadily onward to the little town of Fair River. Arriving at the store, he called for all the luxu- ries in the place. After rummaging through the various shelves, the storekeeper unearthed an as- sorted array of firecrackers, red lights, and a can f peaches. nc of the men offered, rather shame- facedly. two wonderful dolls made from rabbits' skin, just to please the kids, he said. Another produced a Noah’s ark. whose inhabitants had to be labeled in order to be distinguished apart. At last all was ready, and daddy started home- ward. accompanied by some of his friends. Arriving at the little cabin, all crept stealthily in and started to deck the grim walls with fir and pine branches. Another attempted to write “Merry Chri«tmas on the wall, but the effort was abandoned, as a very heated discussion arose whether it should be spelled K-r-i-s-m-a-s or C-r-i-s-m-i-s. Daybreak slowly dawned as the merry decorators finished their task and crept out of the house. Shortly after the still air was broken by the glad cries of He’s come, he’s come!” as the little girls beheld their stockings and danced and sang with joy- One by one the hardened miners, the intimate friends of Santa Claus, stealthily wiped their eyes and stole away, while as the gray dawn broke over Lone Pine the morning stars seemed again to sing of Peace on earth, good will to men.” Chn U?eUl (Continued from page 41 .J he left that city and found employment in another one of the large centres. The horse now was the only thing he cared for, and he treated the beast like a brother. Jim had taught Tim many tricks, such as asking for sugar by whinnying and nosing around his pockets, then thanking the giver by throwing his. Iiead up and down. He could also kneel, and with head bowed remain in this prayerful attitude until an Amen was said. No matter what else was sjxikcn. no one could induce him to change his po- sition. and by impatient jerks of his tail he showed his disgust at their attempts. He would answer Jim’s call, Tim Reilly, come here, I want you,” like a dog. and no matter if he were eating his din- ner and the call came, out he would go from the stall and limit up Jim. His devotion was really pathetic. Many of his exploits were published, and he became famous far and wide. It was two years after Tim had come to Station 28. on the day before Christmas. No snow had as yet fallen, but the air was keen and bracing. The men of Station 28 were plan- ning a merry Christmas. They were to have a tree with their own presents hung thereon, and special tid-bits for the horses. Even Jim Scully had brightened up out of his usual sang-froid, and for the first time since he had come to the engine house had he entered into something with zest outside of fires. Everything was ready on Christ- mas eve. The tree, in the cozy living-room of the station, was veiled with a sheet ready for the mor- row. and every man and beast slept the sleep of the just that night. About eight o’clock the following morning came a sharp, quick stroke of the gong, followed by an- other and another. Instantly the place was alive. In a few seconds the horses were in their places, and the harness buckled. Ail three were on the qui-vivc with excitement. Dan and Ted were older, and their skittish days were over, but the air seemed to have affected them more this morning, while Tim nearly danced out of the harness and kept throwing up his handsome head with a snort, impatient to start, as if saying. “Hurry up, you slow people!” As Jim mounted to his seat he slapped Tim on the flank and called, Ho, boys, do your best, you’ve a long run. Tim. my beauty, a Christmas dinner waits for you!” Then the doors were flung open, and the three superb grays dashed from the engine house. The horses broke quickly into a run, well under control of Jim’s powerful arms. The fire was in the lower part of the city, and dexterously Jim turned the sharp corners. He had just turned on to one of the narrow avenues, where a building was being erected. A pile of brick and stone was half-way across the street. There was plenty of room to pass, and Jim was congratulating himself when a gasp of horror rose THE SOMKRVILLIC RADIATOR to his lips and his face grew white. A little girl, who had from the walk opposite the building been watching the approaching engine, clapping her hands in childish glee, suddenly darted into the narrow space. The mother, on the point of rush- ing after her, was held back, struggling frantically, by two men who were passing. There was no time for hesitation, and with a fear- ful pain in his heart Jim gave a terrific wrench on the rein to the left, and throwing all his power on the brakes turned the horses full on the pile of rocks. A crash, an awful cry of agony, the hiss of escap- ing steam, and over toppled the mammoth engine. Tint Reilly was thrown upon the stone-heap, the other horses on top of him. and Jim was hurled many feet to the pavement! Willing hands soon cared for him. and the struggling horses were ex- tricated with difficulty from the wreck. It seemed to Jim as though he had been asleep for hour«, but in reality it was only about twenty minutes. If is head was propped on someone's coat, and a blanket was across his lxxly. A man was bathing his head with water. He struggled to lise, a severe pain shot through him. and he sank back, faint. The surgeon gravely shook his head, and said that his spine was injured. Only the cap- tain. bending near the man. heard him mutter, Where’s Tim? Take me to him. you fools! Tenderly they lifted him. with lips shut tight to keep from groaning, and carried him to where the bruised and ’deeding body of poor Tim Reilly lay. It was in the gutter, near one of the other horses, the third having miraculously escaped. There was a hideous gash in his breast and many wounds on bis sides. Strange to relate, his head was unhurt, not by even so much as a scratch. Jim staggered to his feet, unheeding the pains shooting up his back. Tim.” he cried, brokenly, “open your eyes once more. Look at me. Don’t go yet. Oh, God! lie’s not dead, is he? And with a heart-breaking cry he fell by the horse’s head. Comrades rushed to aid him. but he revived instantly, and waved them back. lie raised himself on one arm. and his mouth twitched with pain. Look at me. Tim. my horse. Don’t you know it is Jim calling you—the Jim you loved and who loves you—the one who gave you sugar when you played you- tricks? It’s Jim, I tell you. Tim!” and lie called yearningly to the silent mass before him. Suddenly he straightened and in a loud voice called again. “Tim Reilly, come here. I want you! Come. Tim!” As if in answer to his master’s call, the great horse slowly opened his beautiful eyes. He drew a sharp, shuddering breath; then recognition flashed into their depths; he strove to rise, and then sinking back gave a low whinny, stretched his head and touched Jim’s face with his cold nose, moaned softly, and closed his eyes again. Jim ut- tered a low cry. and throwing his arm across the horse’s neck fell forward lifeless. 67 The body of Jim was carried to his only home, the station, but Tim Reilly was left to be taken care of by the authorities. All mourned for both man and beast, and there was no Christmas merry- making at Station 2S that day. Hut in a humble home there was a solemn joy. for Jim and Tim had seen to it that the light of that household was not darkened.

'10 72 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S As prophesied in our last issue, the question oi the abolition of fraternities and sororities has arisen iu Somerville, and the following extract is the re- sult of the school l oard’s discussion :— The question of the influence of secret societies in high schools is being discussed very generally throughout the country, especially in the W est, where they are most numerous and have made the most trouble, and where the most successful efforts have been made against them. In a recent court 'decision the following seven objections to these so- cieties were given : ’The detrimental influence upon the schools, the evil effects upon the pupils, their practical uselessness, their undemocratic nature, the false standard they erect in opposition to the ideals oi the school authorities, their danger from the standpoint of school government, and, finally, the inherent viciousness of any system which makes paramount the decision of immature minds on •questions of social or other distinction in the schools Each of these reasons was supported by strong evidence. While these societies now exist in our own high schools to only a limited extent, unless checked they will surely increase and may occasion much trouble. It is therefore “Resolved, that the school board of Somerville joins with principals and teachers in looking with strong disfavor upon secret societies in our high schools, and urges both pupils and their parents to use their efforts and influence to discourage the for- mation or the extension of any such organizations ’ The claim put forth that these organizations arc pernicious to the best interests of school life may in general be true, but in Somerville, so far as we can learn, there have been no organizations with principles antagonistic to those of the school. To sustain the above statement we quote Mr. South- worth in his annual report of 1905: There has been no conflict between school authorities and secret societies (save in a single instance)”; all of which goes to show that although fraternities in the West may have been proven as detrimental to their schools' welfare, there is as yet no reason for their abolishment in our schools. It is exceedingly gratifying to the pupils at large that no definite action has been taken upon the matter, and it is their earnest hope that such action will be indefinitely withheld. Doubtless the most effective means toward bringing about the above result will be the continuance of such action and attitude on the part of the societies themselves as may merit the approval of the authorities. K � £ The difficulty between the authorities of the Uni- versity of Maine and the State Legislature is most regrettable. The Legislature's refusal to grant an appropriation for the use of the college, which is in great need of such aid, shows a deplorable amount of narrow-mindedness on their part. When dissolution threatens a college, especially a state college, the state government should he the first to respond to an appeal for help. at it it at Seniors: few short months, astonishingly short months, and—can you realize it?—our High School course will be finished.

And with her dwelt a maiden aunt, A Quaker good and true, And not much older than the niece Was wise and staid Aunt Sue. Now the maiden had a lover, A likely, straight young man, Who loved the maid with all his heart, And daily sought her hand. But the maid was young and flighty, And though she loved the lad, She loved much more to tease him, And make him sore and sad. “Now. John, you must remember, You’re not the only one, For there is Philip Brewster, The Doctor’s only son. “And then there’s young Frank Giblard, Who’s going to study law, And, John, you’re not by any means. At all without a flaw.” So thus she teased and plagued him, And joked him all the while, And when Aunt Sue would chide her, Slic’d answer with a smile:— “Of course, I know he loves me, Dear, stupid fellow he! I can flirt about with other lads, But still his wife I’ll be.” And then the little Quaker Would shake her pretty curls, And say. “Thou should’st remember That there arc other girls.” So thus she fluttered here and there, Till John much sadder grew. And sought the little cottage And comfort from Aunt Sue. And she would say as softly And swectlv as could be, “Dear John, thou must be patient, I know she loveth thee.” So much more often did he come, The maid was oft away, He seemed less sorry than at first, And was but glad to stav. So thus it went for many months; At length with joy lie cried. “I’ve won. I’ve won. the Quaker aunt At last shall be my bride!” The maiden young no longer is, And holds it quite a sin To look at John and Sue and think. “Ah, me! what might have been!” 74 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Brounfc tbe Campfire JSv XXX.

The three boys were camping out in the Maine woods during their summer vacation, and now that their supper was finished they were lying around the fire and “swap- ping” stories. “You fellows think you’re smart, don’t you?” said Maurice, but just the same that’s a better story than either of you could tell.” “Is that so?” queried Fatty. “I could tell one right now. better than that one.” “All right, go ahead.” Thus enjoined. Fatty began: About twenty years before the Civil War a family named Clark- son settled in the northern part of Michigan. The family consisted of the father and mother and four sons. One of the sons, James by name, was slightly lame; but all the others were in good health. Mr. Clarkson and his sons built a fine house for the familv with no tools but their axes. Their nearest neighbors, a family named Wilkins, lived a mile and a half away: but they did not mind that, for they were a jolly crowd. However, during their first year’s stay there, they were greatly sad- dened by tlie death of James, the lame one, who. al- though lie had never been robust, had not been con- sidered sickly. After this their life passed along without any verv important occurrences, until the three boys had grown up to manhood. The father and the bovs were accustomed to rise early in the morning, and taking a lunch with them, go out into the woods and cut lumber. They did not return home again until sunset. “One August day Mrs. Clarkson sat sewing in one of the upstairs rooms, when she heard the front door oj en, and heard steps coming up the stairs. As she thought it was her neighbor, she said; Tome right in, Mrs. Wilkins.’ “Rut the steps passed by her door, which was shut, and continued to the end of the corridor. Then thev stopped. Somewhat alarmed at this she crossed the room, opened the door, stepped out into the corridor and looked up and down. No one was in sight! “Then she remembered that the steps had been uneven, as though the person walking by was lame The place where the footsteps halted was right in front of the door of the room occupied by her son Tames before his death. Although she was greatly disturbed by this occurrence, she said nothing, as she did not wish to alarm the family unnecessarily. “On the next day, however, she contrived to have Frank, her youngest son. stay at home with her. About ten o’clock Mrs. Clarkson went out to feed the liens, and Frank was left alone in the house, llis mother had been gone about five min- utes when the front door opened, and some one, after crossing the hall, began to ascend the stairs. Win. I wonder what makes mother walk so lame.” thought Frank; but as he was just in the midst of a story, he did not go to the door until the steps had gone by and had entered the room for- mer! v occupied by James. When he heard the door of his brother’s room shut, he got up. and walking to the door, entered the corridor. “ ‘What arc you doing in there, mother?’ he asked, for none of the family were in the habit of using the room, and in fact it had not been open at all except once a year when the spring cleaning was going on. “Getting no response to his inquiry, he stepped to the door of his brother’s room, and cautiously opened it. He was almost afraid to put his head inside the door. but. mustering up his courage, he boldlv entered the room, and quickly glanced around. The room was empty! It was only the thought of his mother that kept him from crying out. “He soon regained his courage and began to think that it was all his imagination, so he closed the door and returned to his book. Here his mother found him when she returned, but she did not notice that anything was the matter with him. “Several days more passed without Mrs. Clark- son’s hearing the footsteps, and so she began to wonder if she really had heard them at all. or if it had been only the foolish fancy of her mind. “On the very day, however, when she had come to this conclusion, she heard the footsteps again. It came about in this way: It was the custom with the Clarksons to retire early, and this particular evening they were all in bed by half-past seven. The family slept in two adjoining rooms on the sec- ond floor, which were situated across the hall from the room which had belonged to James. “Thev had not been in bed more than half an hour when the front door opened and the shuftling steps ascended the stairs and walking by the two sleeping rooms entered the room opposite. “ ‘Did you hear that noise?’ Mr. Clarkson asked his wife in a hoarse whisper. “‘Yes, what was it?’ “The boys had also heard the noise, and finding that their parents were awake, they came trooping in frightened out of their wits. Well, it appeared that they had all heard the steps before, but had not spoken for fear of alarming the others, and be- cause each one had thought it was due to his im- [Continued on pafce SI.] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 75 H flllonopol of jfort£ Scat's Bgo .16Y? Ellen 1R. 1 0 N an office on Albany street, Boston. J bearing the name of Mead Bond, Lumber ’ over the door, a middlc- aged gentleman was sitting at his —■■ ‘r desk, but he was not busying himself about the papers on his desk ; instead, he seemed to be expecting the arrival of some one. From the side window he could see great piles of lumber, all belonging to the firm of which he was the senior partner. Finally the door opened and a ■younger man walked into the room, with a worried expression on his face. “Well, Bond,” said Mr. Mead, how did von find McCarty?” “Things are in a pretty state with all of us,” an- swered Mr. Bond. McCarty has only a few more feet of hard pine, while he needs a cargo to finish the building. The worst of it all is that he agreed to forfeit $15,000 if the school was not ready for oc- cupancy l� v September 1. That gives him only about two months. He could do it all right if he had the hard pine. He threatened to buy of Curtis Pope if we could not supply him. I told him he had better buy what they had on hand, which can't be much. But then McCarty said he simply must have the lumber, and that whichever firm received the first shipment from Jacksonville would get his patronage.” Which means the loss of a good bag of money to us if Curtis Pope receive their shipment first,” said Mr. Mead. You told Captain Rich to spare no efforts to get back here in record time?” asked the other. “Yes, but you know how we are hampered at Jacksonville by that black Spaniard, Leangle. It is a case of how many days will elapse from the time Captain Rich reaches the mouth of the St. Tohn river till he is outside it again with a cargo aboard.” Well, Curtis Pope have to put up with the same inconvenience at Jacksonville as we do, and we have as good a chance as they have,” said Mr. Bond. “Captain Rich ought to be in Jacksonville by to-morrow and I shall telegraph him to arrive in Boston before Curtis Pope’s vessel at all costs.” Meanwhile. Captain Rich of the “Mary Jane” was sailing southward as fast as a fair wind could carry him. Although he was not as yet aware of the necessity of his arriving in Boston before his rival. Captain Banks, of the “Mermaid,” he took pleasure in racing the other up the coast. I he “Mermaid” had sailed two days before the Mary Jane.” but the latter was a faster craft. Besides, the “Mermaid” might have to wait off the mouth of the river two or three days before a string of waiting vessels would collect and Leangle would put off in his tug. This Leangle was a tall. dark, cadaverous Spaniard, as mean, ignorant, and pro- fane as possible. He was the owner of the only ■fcolmes, E., '07 tug in Jacksonville and consequently all the ves- sels (and there were a great many of them carrying hard pine lumber from Jacksonville) were at his mercy. Ten years of the monopoly of the towing industry had brought out all the mean traits in his character, till he considered himself a sort of god, with all creation his humble servants. Jacksonville is situated on the St. John river near its mouth. Consequently it was necessary that all sailing vessels be towed up the river to the wharf. As Leangle did not think it was worth while to bother with a single vessel, he would wait till there were as many as his tug could move, when he would tow all of them up the river at once. While the vessels were waiting, a storm frequently arose and the vessels would be compelled to lift anchor and go out to sea, and two or three days would be consumed before the ships could be worked back to the mouth of the river again. It was no wonder then that Captain Rich eagerly scanned the sea at the river’s mouth as his trim lit- tle craft came booming along with all sail set. If there were only one or two ships anchored out- side. there would be a long wait. But no, he could see three, four, five, six white specks. He was in- deed fortunate. But if the tug should be on the way out now, and he should be too late! That was the worst possible fate. He counted the minutes till he came within hail of the others. He could see the “Mermaid” among them too, at which he rejoiced. Suddenly, a shout went up as some one cried: The tug’s coming!” and immediately there was a bustle of preparation among the fleet. The tug. a ditty, dingy boat, came alongside. Leangle stepped t the bow and said: Pass over the money.” The charge for towing in a vessel was forty dollars. Leangle charged as much when a vessel was one of a string as when he was compelled to make a spe- cial trip for her, and the money had to be passed over the bow before he would throw the hawser aboard. The worst of it all was that there was no appeal from this. If anyone ventured to complain, Leangle would say: “Them’s my terms: take them or leave them as you please. It’s nothing to me.” When Captain Rich received his employer's tele- cram he redoubled his efforts to break the record time for a round trip between Boston and Jackson- ville. His crew caught the spirit of their captain and all worked early and late, until the Mary Jane” was ready to sail on the afternoon of the third day. Wind and tide were favorable, but the question was. was Leangle in the same desirable mood. If I can only get out this afternoon,” thought Captain Rich. 1 can be well on the home trip bv to-morrow morning.” He hurried to the lower end of the town and found Leangle playing with a dirty pack of cards and some hewn companions in the back room of a shop. Captain Rich called him aside and asked 76 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR if lie would tow his vessel outside this afternoon. ‘‘This afternoon,” repeated Leangle, amazed at such audacity. Then he broke into a loud guffaw at the preposterous request. “But,” said the cap- tain, very much annoyed, but resolved to keep his suavity, “I will make it worth your while.” The greedy eyes of the Spaniard glistened. “How much will you give me?” he said. Fifty dollars,” said the captain. “Not by a long shot,” said the Spaniard. Fifty-five.” “No.” “Six-tv.” Still the Spaniard shook his head. Captain Rich turned on his heel as if to go out. But the Spaniard said surlily. I'll do it. Then the captain added: “Re- member, you must tow me across the bar.” It was as bad for the outward bound vessels as for those going in the opposite direction. Leangle would take them as far as the harbor bar, and there leave them in the rough water, where the heavily- laden vessels would roll and toss and strain for hours, till finally they would scrape over the bar somehow and get into smooth water. Even the most hardened sailors would become seasick after hours of such violent motion. Captain Rich had this fact in mind when he made the last provision. Before sundown he was standing off the mouth of the.river and soon his ship was but a speck on the horizon. The night was a beautiful moonlight one, and the captain lingered on deck, enjoying the scene, and feeling its softening effect on his thoughts, lie had never had a better trip. Al- though he was nearly thirty-five, he was going to be married in a month, and consequently it meant a great deal to his prosperity that he should be able to serve his employers in their hour of need. Just before he turned in. he passed an auxiliary yacht, that is, one with both sails and a motor attachment. He thought nothing about it. little knowing that the whole course of affairs at Jacksonville was to be changed by that same yacht. 'I'he next morning Leangle was somewhat sur- prised to see a yacht sailing along in a manner showing that some accident had happened to the motor. Soon a launch came ashore, and the mate in charge said that one of the blades of the propel- ler had been broken, and the owner, who was aboard cruising in southern waters, wished to put into Jacksonville for repairs. Leangle refused to tow her in unless the yacht was considered as sal- vage. which meant that the owner must pay what she was worth, just as if she were a helpless wreck and he were rescuing her from certain destruction. Leangle was deaf to all remonstrances, as was his habit, and finally the owner, Mr. Drexell, a wealthy Philadelphian, was compelled to accede to his mon- strous demand. One morning a week later, Leangle was as- tounded to sec a fine, large, first-class New York tug lying inside the harbor. But that was nothing compared to his speechless amazement when a sis- ter tug came towing a vessel up the river, a ship which had been waiting at anchor ever since the previous morning. He was of course much dis- turbed. but he was more so when, as the day pro- gressed, the tugs towed the vessels in as fast as they arrived. Finally, when the Spaniard could stand it no longer, he put his dignity and self-impor- tance. which had been accumulating for ten years, in his pocket and went out to interview the captain of one of them. The captain had been carefully instructed what to saw Do you remember a certain Mr. Drexell, and the unheard-of demand you made of him just because you had a dead open-and-shut on him?” he asked Leangle. Yes,” said the Spaniard, a light breaking on his mental horizon. “Well, Mr. Drexell is a man with plenty of money who, as he goes about in his travels, incidentally looks for peo- ple like you, who think they arc monarch of all they survey, and he always teaches them a lesson they never forget. He has chartered these tugs, and told Captain Gray, of the other, and myself to tow all vessels up the river. We are to charge the reg- ular price, forty dollars, if we can get it, but we are to take anything, or even do it for nothing rather than let you get the work.” Ruin stared Leangle in the face. More than that, instead of getting sympathy for his misfortune, everyone rejoiced that the tables were turned, and did not hesitate to show it. The vessels went to the new tugs from choice. The Spaniard often found himself going forty miles and more up the coast to catch the vessels coming down. Finally, after struggling for a couple of weeks. Leangle took time and money to go to Philadelphia to en- treat Mr. Drexell to withdraw the tugs. Mr. Drexell received him with a smile. Leangle stated what he wished in a manner so different from that which he had used to the same man a month before that it was impossible to recognize it as proceeding from the same source. “Well,” said Mr. Drexell, “as a righter of wrongs, I cer- tainly am a great success. Now. Mr. Leangle, the terms on which I withdraw the tugs arc as follows: You must pay back to me what I gave to you when you unjustly demanded salvage, pay what I have paid for the service of the tugs, and promise to act decently in the future, for I shall keep my eves on you.” “And how much will that be?” said Leangle with a sinking heart. The millionaire named a sum which was so large that it took the other’s breath away. But every cent I have in the world docs not amount to half of that,” said lie. “Well, you can pay what you have, and I will take a mortgage on your tug and the rest of your property for the balance.” Leangle reflected for a moment. There was plainly no way out of the difficulty except to accept Mr. Drcxcll’s terms. There was no chance for a lawsuit, for anyone might compete with him for the towing. [ will do it. he said quietly, although the beads of perspiration were standing out on his face. Meantime, Captain Rich was sailing northward as fast as possible.

He was born in Scotland of parents who were good people, who attempted to train their child in the way he should go. But when he was about seventeen years old he departed from them, and took passage as a deck-hand on an out-bound vessel. Rat fell in with an evil crew, and particu- larly one fiendish sailor, who was his clever teacher in the wielding of the dagger and who instilled in his heart a craving for blood. Let it suffice to say that while a boy Rat committed murder, but like a lion who has once tasted human blood his passions were not satisfied but urged him on to further crime. He cleverly escaped detection, and had hardly come from his concealment when he teni]X rarily appeased his thirst for crime by striking down a defenseless man. He dodged arrest once more, and for eleven long, hideous years he wan- dered about the world, now into crime, then into hiding, last into prison. This sort of life is not conducive to physical or moral perfection and Rat in prison was not a pleasant object. His eyes had a cold, wild gleam that made one shudder when they were turned upon him. His cheeks were emaciated and pale. I lis head was prematurely bald, and his hands shook and twisted nervously. Such was the pitiful condition of Rat when lie started to serve a twenty-five-ycars’ term of impris- onment in the Arkansas state penitentiary at Little Rock. As he showed no great eagerness to en- gage in any one trade, lie was put to work in the brushmakers’ shop, where his slender fingers be- came quickly dexterous in sewing in the bristles. He worked industriously for six or seven monoto- nous years, when for some breach of the prison regulations, he was sentenced by the warden to three days solitary confinement. While he had been at work Rat had had little or no time to think of his previous history, or to plan for his future career, but when he was alone in his dark cell strange thoughts came back to him. The agonized faces of his victims seemed to keep staring at him out of the darkness. He tried to sleep, but shameful deeds perpetrated years before came to his mind as though they had happened yesterday. In the darkness he could not sec the cup of water that was given him. and, in his diseased imagina- tion. he fancied that the cup was full of blood and he would not touch it. On the third morning his fears in a measure left him. and he began to plan how he might have re- venge upon the warden, who had unwittingly been the cause of his disturbed peace of mind. As the warden did not live at the prison, and was rarely seen by its inmates. Rat perceived immediately that he must effect his escape from prison before he could get at him. And thus began his plottings and cogitations as to the best means oi escape and then glorious revenge! Rat worked on with the brushmakers for s;x months, when having fully decided upon his plans, he asked the warden if he could change his occupa- tion and work in the stables. The unsuspecting warden was only too glad to grant the request of one who had worked faithfully during his confine- ment. and thereupon Rat began his short term of dutv as stableman. It might here be well to give a brief description of the interior of the prison. The brick buildings were all built around an oval courtyard, at the northern end of which were the offices, and next to these, toward the west, were the buildings, extend- ing half way down the southern side of the yard, which contained the cells. Then came the engine room and the workshops on the southern bend, ad- joining which was the chapel. Further on was the prison stable, where Rat daily curried the prison horses; namely, a sorrel colt and a white mare. Lastly came the hospital, next to the big carriage entrance, where the old white-bearded prison doc- tor treated his patients. The doctor was a precise man. who believed in doing everything by habit, and just the way it had been done for years, so when he had finished his outside practice, at ex- actly thirty minutes after four every afternoon, his horse, a fiery animal, which he had driven for ten years, and buggy, also a victim of a decade’s hard usage, could have been seen coming into the prison yard and around to the stable. Here his horse was tied to the identical post that he had gnawed for ten years, and in the carriage were carefully laid his black coat and felt hat. both of which he had worn since he had begun to practice. These duties per- formed. he proceeded to the hospital, where he quickly examined the patients, made a suggestion lieie, wrote a prescription there, held a short con- sultation with the matron, and was in his buggy driving out of the yard before one could hardly real- ize that he had been there. Rat worked on day by day performing his tasks as stableman in such a creditable manner that one would hardly have guessed that his mind was full of his plans for escape. But had anyone watched him closely he would have seen that every morn- ing, while lie was rubbing down the white mare. Rat pulled a hair or two from her flowing, white tail and mane, rolled them up. and put them into his car by way of concealment. Every day this happened; every day Rat pulled out a few white hairs, concealed them in his ear. tics. You 7« THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR and later in the—ha!—that is the question! what did he do with them? He certainly did something hut not until he had patiently collected many, many hairs. Then at last came the day notable in our story; and even on that day the routine duties were performed as they had been performed on the pre- vious days. Rat worked as he had worked for three years; dinner was served as it was habitually served; the afternoon wore away in the mysterious fashion that all afternoons wear away: the doctor came punctually at his appointed time, tied his horse to the accustomed post, laid his coat and hat in their usual place and entered the hospital. As soon as he had stepped inside, a fireman from the engine room dashed across the yard and breath- lessly announced that the engineer had been scalded. Thereupon, quite contrary to his habitual course of procedure, he followed the fireman back to the engine room, and as he entered we see the last of him. Thus, bv the conspiracy of the Fates, on the very afternoon when Rat had planned to escape, the doctor instead of being in the hospital, where he could easily have heard his horse go out. was in the engine room on tin other side of the yard, and moreover was so wrapped up in his work that he could not hear his departing horse. It was bv this time quite dark, and as it had be- gun 10 rain, it was not difficult for Rat to skulk over to the other side of the yard unobserved. So dressed in the doctor's coat and hat with the care- fully collected hair, which it had been the work of weeks to arrange to imitate the doctor’s beard, he went as near to the door of the engine room as he dared then turning about, he walked boldly across the yard, got into the carriage, and started out. Through the dim light he saw the unsuspecting guard salute as he opened the gate, and as Rat drove out and whipped his horse into a swift pace, he enjoyed a hearty laugh. He rode south for half an hour until he thought that he was. according to a fellow-prisoner’s direc- tions. in the vicinity of the warden’s house. Rat stopped his horse and from a passing boy learned the exact whereabouts of the house, which he had very nearly reached when he passed the lanky fig- ure of the warden also going that way. He hur- ried his horse, and was already at the house, stand- ing on the sidewalk when the warden came up. Rat iiad the carriage whip in his hand and held it so that he could use the handle as a club, which he did in a few seconds with very good effect. With two mighty blows the prison-keeper was stunned and his limp form fell into his assaulter’s open arms. Rat quickly manipulated his carefully prepared gag. and tying the man’s hands securely together, he lay him in the bottom of the buggy and drove off. He was still driving at eleven o'clock, but in a few minutes he caught sight of the brewery to which he was bound. This brewery was situated on the shores of the Arkansas river, where ships from the Gulf of Mexico coming up the Missis- sippi could unload. Beside the main brewery was • large cooperage, and many thousands of barrels of all sizes could be seen in its yard. Toward these barrels Rat drove, and when he had succeeded iu stealing one he put it into the buggy and turned his horse down the river road to find a spot where he could complete his revengeful schemes unmo- lested. He stopped after a few minutes under a bluff, and tied his horse. Then, laying aside his dis- guise. he was prepared to finish his work. He pounded off the head of the barrel, which was about six feet tall and made of heavy wood so that it was water tight. Then the unconscious warden was carried to the river. Rat appropriated his revolver and then stood him up in the barrel. He stepped back a few paces, and as he observed the warden’s look of returning consciousness, he thought that it would be only expedient to tell the prisoner why he was being punished. “Boss,” he explained, 'T don't blame you for not understanding all this. But it’s just this way: When you put me in that dark hole you can't dream how I suffered there. But since you was the vil- lain as put me in there, sayst, you’re the man to pay back. I can’t bother to tell you how I escaped, but you’ll find out when you get where they know everything and everything is known. I’ll bet these white boss hairs that when T see you again you’ll wish you’d never hear tell of a dark cell. But I must go now. so remember me as your old friend— ha! ha!—Rat Rawley.” He bowed and immediately began to replace the barrel-head, and when it was securely fastened he tinned the barrel on its side and rolled it into the river. This done, he detached the carriage, mounted the unburdened horse, and was off in es- cape. Three months after the deeds related in the first of this narrative the ship on which Rat was em- barked ran into a hurricane. The vessel was bound from New Orleans to Liverpool, and it was just about to sail around the numerous islands that ex- tend out from the shores of Florida when the hurri- can overtook it. The schooner was driven on to the coral reefs known as Tortugas Reefs, and there was pounded to pieces. Rat, and in fact all on board, were tossed into the sea.

IRttcIMc, IE., ’07 ST at this time, when the eyes of alt the world are turned to Japan, a glance at her people may not conic amiss. The women of Japan have been the cause of much comment, and all of our friends who have visited this land of cherry and plum blossoms have returned singing their praises. For many have fallen victims to the charms of the Japanese women, who arc so womanly—kind, gentle, faith- ful, and pretty. And yet they are little appreciated by their native people, and is it any wonder that they are tr ing to free themselves from the bonds of custom in this the Meiji era? Of course, it is difficult to distinguish as yet between the new and the old. Two grotesquely different ideas arc at work to improve the women’s condition, European theories concerning the relations of the sexes and European clothes! 'Hie same man who struts into a room before .his wife when she is dressed a la japonaise will let her go in first when she is dressed a la europeene!” A baby is welcomed in a Japanese home as much as in a Western one. Its birth, whether it be boy or girl, is the cause of much rejoicing, although a boy is much preferred. As soon as the event takes place, a messenger is dispatched to spread the news among all the relatives and friends, who arc ex- pected to soon pay their respects to the mother and babe, and carry with them some present. Silks, toys, or crepe are suitable, but each must be ac- companied by fish or eggs for good luck. Each friend must sooner or later make the child a pres- nt, which is duly acknowledged and a present re- turn'd by messenger. The baby’s dress is very simple—much like the kimona of the grown-ups. All baby’s clothes are fitted, one inside the other, and put on the floor. Then baby is placed inside them. A loose belt is put on the outside, and baby is dressed, with no squirming and crying waiting for buttons to be fastened. In the lower classes the babv Is strapped to the back of some older child at a very early age, sometimes at a month old. It is then carried about among the children’s games and through the streets. This perhaps accounts for the frank, open face of the Japanese—they never know what it is to be timid before strangers. A tendency for baby carriages is showing itself in Tokto. but whether this is merely a fad or not re- mains to be seen. At a very early age the children must become accustomed to the hot baths of which the Japanese are so fond. The older people spend much time in hot baths, which they have as high as 110° Fahrenheit. One old man who has charge of a public bath stays in the water the entire win- ter. One Japanese man’s objection to Western ways is that he has time for only three or four baths a day! The Japanese children are very fond of fairy tales, and will listen to grandmother or the nurse for a long time to hear about the Reach Boy or of some terrible monster. Occasionally they spend all day at the theatre, seated on the floor in a box. They have a great variety of toys and games, such as shuttlecock and ball and the poems of a hun- dred poets. A girl learns in her youth the lessons of cheerful obedience, pleasing manners, personal cleanliness and neatness. She must sink herself entirely, always give up to others, and never show any but pleasing emotions. She learns all the rules of their simple housekeeping, which is not difficult, considering the absence of much furniture and the simple ways of cooking. But they have all the furniture necessary for their way of living. One of my Fiends tells me the Japanese house gives one the impression that the housecleaning is just finished (for the houses are immaculate), but the furniture has not been brought in. Nothing is visible but the tiny box stove, which gives hardly any heat, ami a few cushions. But at tea time, which occurs at any time during the day at fre- quent intervals, several individual tables about six inches high appear, also the tea cups, chop sticks, and many small bowls. At night they bring out the pads to sleep on. and the block pillow from some hidden closet. The partitions are merely folding screens of translucent paper, which may be taken away at a moment’s notice, and the house, which, by the way, is only a story and a half high, made one large room. So much for the houses—to return to our girl and her environment. The girls in this Eastern country are considered worthy of a certain amount of culture. They arc educated in the arts of w riting, painting, and flower arrangement. They arc taught Chinese classics. They have a strict code of etiquette which is taught them by professional teachers. They learn how to open and close a door, how to rise and sit upon the floor, how to hold the body and head when saluting, all the most polite manner; for polite- ness is one of their most noticeable characterictics. They would much rather tell a lie or be dishonest than impolite. Tea drinking is the common occu- pation of the women. Strict rules are laid down for drinking formal tea. and it has been said that The woman who has once learned the tea cere- mony thoroughly is known by her superior bearing on ail occasions ’’ The above relates to the strictly Japanese schools. The missionaries have estab- lished schools grading from kindergartens to high, normal schools, and even universities. Every day the streets are crowded with boys and girls going with their lunch boxes to school. In these schools they study Japanese and Chinese literature, geog- raph). historv. and natural science, also mathe- matics. In all the higher schools one foreign lan- guage is required. English having first place. 8o THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR What headaches those girls must have over a lan- guage in which they must begin at the wrong end of the book, read from top to bottom and from left to right! This new method of training is making independent, self-reliant women, and yet it has its disadvantages. When a conservative man and a “new woman marry, they often have a sorry task in compromising their ideas. Speaking of marrying.—their method of selection is a little peculiar. A girl takes no thought of this herself, and her intercourse with young men is free and disinterested, although they marry at an early age—about sixteen years. When a young man de- ckles to marry, he seeks out some married gentle- man friend of his. who then makes a canvass of his young lady acquaintances to find some one suitable for his friend. His idea of beauty is different from curs. He will look about for a lady with a pale face, slanting eyes, straight hair, rosy lips, and an elongated face. A girl is allowed her choice pro- vided she is not too particular. A no more cordial feeling than simple toleration is expected before marriage, although they often become very dear to each other later in life. Having decided, we will say, upon C) Kiku (Miss Chrysanthemum), he goes to her parents and lays his case before them. Should they approve of his friend as a suitor, a party is arranged at the home of some mutual friend, where the young people arc introduced. Should the young people find no fault with each other, the betrothal is entered into and preparations made for the wedding. All the arrangements are made by the go-betweens, who arc responsible for the success of the wedding and are concerned in the divorce, should that prove necessary. The ceremony is merely the formal drinking of sake ithc native wine distilled from rice), and has no lcligious significance. After the ceremony there is a grand feast, and the name of the bride is trans- ferred from her father's family to that of her hus- band. It scents too bad that a Japanese girl has to give up her pretty name for one that docs not seem nearly so appropriate to us. Their names are typical of their natures, for these charming girl have such maiden names as Miss Springtime, Miss Sunshine, Miss Chrysanthemum, or Miss Cherry- blossom. But our girl is married now. She does not set up housekeeping,” but goes to live with her husband’s people. These she must now obey and reverence as she has always her own people. She is supposed to have more love for her husband's people than for her own; in fact, a Japa- nese woman’s life is summed up in the three obed- iences. obedience to father and mother, obedience to husband, and after his death, obedience to an older son. A bride takes to her husband's home dresses enough to last a lifetime (for the style never changes in Japan). She also furnishes the furni- ture : a bureau, a low desk or table for writing, a work-box, two lacquer trays, and the furnishings even to chop sticks, and two complete sets of bed- ding. These arc the bride’s personal property. A wife is her husband's servant, and looks after his every want. She is devoted to her children, and makes many sacrifices for them. (She even gives up her seat in a street car to children.) The Japa- nese think a great deal of their ancestors, and the child inherits the rank of his father. Now marriage is the only outlook ahead for women in Japan. As new ways of self-support present themselves, a woman may look forward to making single life tolerable by her own labor. At present there is not much for her to do but teach school. But for all the results arc not all that could be wished, the outlook is bright, and we must bear in mind the vast difference in the two systems and customs which wc are trying to harmonize. It is not possible to understand the condition of women without some consideration of the effect that Chris- tian thought and Christian lives have had on the thought and lives of the modern Japanese women.” Zbc Convict [Continued from page 7$.) barrel was lying the rigid body of the warden. He had freed his hands and, honest Catholic that he was, he could not die without the performance of some holy rite, however slight, so he had torn open the clothing about his neck and chest, reveal- ing a gold cross hung there, which by its very pres- ence had undoubtedly given him courage in his dying moments, for his hands were folded peace- fully beneath the cross, and his face, although bear- ing unmistakable marks of suffering, bore also to Rat’s questioning gaze glorious signs of peace and love. When Rat turned away he was a different man. In one precious moment the wretch had learned more than any preacher could have taught him in a year. In that one supreme moment lie realized that for once he had not accomplished his desired ends. He had caused all this suffering but not with the hoped-for result. He saw that the re- venge that turned the other cheek after all sur- passed the revenge that hit back. He learned, too, that there was another thing that he had reckoned without: he learned that there is a love that suf- fered! long. He realized that if anyone possessed this love he could not be revenged although he be killed. The warden’s loving face was the ever- lasting proof of this.

They did this, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins gladly put them up for the night. “The next day when they drove back to collect such furniture and live-stock as they possessed, thev were thunder-struck to find that during the night the whole place had burned to the ground with the exception of the wing which contained James’s room.

But in a minute he was sleeping as soundly as they. H Ibelptng Ibanfc ADarfon ME shores of the lake were crowded with people. Laughing groups were standing about discussing the coming race. At intervals a boat, filled with young people, would push out from the shore for a sail around the lake. A young girl hastened up to one of the merry parties and called out, Oh. Tom! you don’t sup- pose anything will happen to Dot, do you? She has gone out for a sail. There she goes now.” The two watched the girl in the little boat until she was concealed by a bend in the lake before Tom answered: ‘‘Oh, I guess she'll be all right. She is used to a boat, isn’t she, Madge?” “Yes,” answered Madge rather absently, and she soon for- got her anxiety for Dot in her contemplation of a voting man stretched out on a bench some yards distant. He was tall and lank, and was dressed in a light summer suit, tennis shoes, and a straw hat, which at that moment was drawn down over his eyes. “Who is that fellow over there?” said Madge in- dicating him by a nod of her head. “Oh, that’s Jim Fairbanks,” answered Tom. “T wonder what he’s doing around here. He doesn’t know much. Mis father told him he would disin- herit him if lie didn’t go to Harvard and behave like a gentleman, and what did he do but go off to some school of mines out West somewhere. He’s no more fitted for mining than nothing at all. Look at those hands, will you? He’ll have to wear gloves when he gets to mining if he wants to keep them like that,” lie finished with a laugh. Madge glanced at the young man’s hands. Truly they were very delicately made and at pres- ent were very white. Hello, old man, don't you want to keep score?” called one of the crew that was to race, to Jim. Aw, I can’t.” answered Jim. “it's too hot.” “Won’t lie make a nice fellow in a mine?” whis- pered Tom to Madge. “I guess they’ll have to regulate the temperature before they get him into one. Don’t you think we had better go up on the grand-stand? Almost everybody seems to be go- jfa ?, X.f ’08 ing that way. Where’s Dot? I thought you said she was coming right back.” Why so I thought.” said Madge, “but I guess she’ll find us all right when she does come.” This was the last race of the season, and it was to decide the championship. The Lawrcnccvillc and Cranlcy crews had raced several times before, and the score was practically the same. The crews were evenly matched, and each seemed to hope confidently for victor}-. All were in their places, and at a word from the starter they began rowing swiftly across the lake. The course lay straight in front of them—a good mile to the opposite shore. The one who arrived at the starting point first was the winner of the day. The opposite shore was reached with no mishap with Lawrcnccvillc a little ahead. The boats turned and started back over the same course. Cranley was gaining inch by inch until it was al- most abreast of the Lawrcnccvillc crew. Cries of “Cranley! Cranley! “Lawrcnccvillc! Lawrcncc- ville!” filled the air while the crews pulled steadily on. “Oh, Tom, look! oh, look!” screamed Madge. The crews were three-fourths of the distance across the lake with Cranley a little in advance. Suddenly around the bend a small sail-boat with only a young girl in it had sailed directly across the race course. It was Dot. The crews were but a few feet away and with their backs turned to the girl were rowing for dear life toward her. The ter- rified girl grasped the oars, and tried to row out of the way. but too late, and in another minute the Cranley boat pushed by to victory, but the little sail-boat lay bottom side up floating in the water. “Save her. Tom.” shouted Madge, frantically, to the vouth who stood beside her, inert and appar- ently helpless. But fortunately help was at hand. Tim Fair- banks from his lazy posture on the bench perceived the danger, and jumping into a boat he rowed swiftly toward the frightened girl.

The Freshman class is well represented at the Shakespeare plays. Soon they should be able to give one themselves. It has been found that Miss Mag-------n carries dangerous weapons with her. She has already tried them on M------by and M------d. St----le has been talking so much about the “wild and woolly West” that it would not be a sur- prise to have him appear at school some day with a cap-pistol and a jackknife. Gr----d’s mind has been severely taxed in his debate, but it does not look as though he would bo likely to collapse just yet. Miss Le----d went to New York lately to dis- play to her relatives her newly-learned Latin. K-----n and McK----------n arc trying for the Globe’s school contest. Mr. Murray says to use headnotes instead of footnotes. R-----ss is putting into practice the new spelling reform. An example—Spata (Sparta). Miss P-----1 ought to buy a hammer and some nails and take a drive from Cambridge instead of walking. Gr----ns has become class pugilist. Have you noticed his eye? We arc informed that although Miss T---------lor keeps the stockyards, Sh----p makes all the noise for the livestock. Some of the Freshmen seem to be practicing for the baseball team. X-----le recently declared that he was bashful. Appearances arc very deceitful. Gr----d has made a number of New Year’s reso- lutions, but we cannot see that he is keeping them. Miss T-----lor’s “gold pieces” are not nearly so valuable as they may look. I)----son is in the same danger that Gr------n was in a short time ago. We extend our sympathy to Miss Adams, who left school on account of the sudden death of her father. Room 32 has a very clever electrician in Mc- K-----n. We understand that K-----’s car is made for a pencil rack. The little things arc those that count in life (the Freshmen). Miss G-----n seems to like to attract attention in the algebra class.

Captain Munroe has at last been given permission to call out candidates for a hockey team by the Athletic Association. City Engineer Bailey is preparing a rink at Broadway field, which will give the Somer- ville people an opportunity to witness the game at home. Among the candidates are found several hockey veterans .among whom are found the fol- lowing: Merrill, Hoyt, and Garland. The new men who look promising are: Yacubian, Wiley, Little- field. Norris, and Nealy. McGann and Cuddy are coaching the team and great results arc expected. At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association the following men were awarded S's : Eorg. Mer- rill, Hoyt, Gustin, Ireland, l'itzherbcrt. Garland, Mixer, Bowlin. Donovan, Henderson. McNeill, and McLaughlin. Jarvis, Commins, and Sharry were not awarded, but were requested to appear at a later meeting and explain failures to appear at practice. Russell. Elliott, and Scrivcn were awarded a sweater without the S.” At a later date Commins and Sharrv appeared before the executive committee and made satisfac- torv explanations for their absence from practice and were awarded their “S’s.” Jarvis failed to ap- pear and was debarred from further indulgence in athletics. Ireland was elected manager of the hockey team. December 25—Somerville High Alumni at Somerville. December 27—Arlington High at Spy Pond. lanuarv 2—Wakefield High at Wakefield.

SANBORN, M0 92 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S The Somerville High Schools have recent’v added another musical success to their already long record. A selected chorus of one hundred voices from among the members of the High Schools successfully rendered the “Children's Chorus in the Children’s Crusade, which was pro- duced for the second time in America on Febru- ary 20, in Symphony I Iall, by the Cecilia Society, Mr. Lang, conductor. The extremely difficult music, which is well worthy of tl e most earnest efforts of professionals, was sung in such a masterly and pleasing manner that it was hard to believe that the performers were actually amateurs. The chorus throughout showed clearly the results of such careful and conscientious instruction as Mr. Hadley alone can give. r � Recent advices from former Editor-in-Chicf Parker Lowell inform us of his successful entrance into the Freshman class of the Northwestern Uni- versity. Mr. Lowell is evidently reaping the benefit of his literary work on the Radiator, as his play written in competition for the Freshman drama- tics, was the one selected by the judges for pres- entation. lie is rapidly becoming an enthusias- tic Westerner, but retains a lively interest in the Somerville High Schools and especially in the Radiator. if if if if The universal commemoration of the centennial of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s birth was in- deed a fit memorial to the dead. No poet or au- thor of any age can occupy a larger place in the affections of a people than does Longfellow in the affections of America, and no man can be more worthy of such devotion. A man in every sense of the word, honest, up- right, simple, and unassuming, is it strange that he is so dear to us Americans? One verse from his poem, “A Psalm of Life,” divulges, we believe, the secret of his grand suc- cess :— “Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.” r if if if On February 19 Captain Sharry issued a call for battery candidates and the result is most en- couraging. There is apparently plenty of good material from which to select, and the outlook for a championship nine is by no means dark. Optimism must not be too prevalent, however, amongst the players and followers, as our disap- pointment of last fall was greatly augmented by the unlimited confidence which we had placed in the team, and it is cjuite possible that the defeat was due to over-confidence on the part of the team itself. Let our battle cry this spring be “Victory.” If If. If. If The presidents of the various classes arc con- tinually complaining of a deplorably small at- tendance at class meetings. It is a true, but regrettable, fact that the vast ma- jority take absolutely no active part in class affairs. The non-attendants plead that “a few are running the class.” and in most cases this holds true and will hold true as long as the majority stand aside and let them. These few. however, have learned the primary lesson of good citizenship and are cast- ing a vote whenever it is possible, a privilege which evidently is only appreciated by a few. if if if if Wc regret to announce the resignation of Wal- ter II.

' flo H but you will suffer for it. Too Jangry for further utterance, the thor- oughly aroused captain turned on his heel and stepped into his launch, while the equally angry sailor started up the street toward the centre of the town Captain Dale was a man somewhat past middle age. He was short and well built, with an almost square head, showing great will power and an ob- stinate nature. By some his face would have been considered handsome. Piercing black eyes, rather iong nose, straight mouth, and square chin further brought out his character. The offended sailor slowly found his way through the city of Halifax to the mansion of the mayor. Here, after some time, he was received by that pompous city official, who told him to speak quickly, as he was very busy. Before the sailor had uttered a dozen words, this “very busy” person was willing to listen. In the meantime Captain Dale had boarded his yacht. The Sunbeam was a two-masted, topsail schooner yacht of about a hundred and fifty tons- ile:- long, graceful lines and light spars showed her to have been built for racing. The spotless white sides and polished brass work glistened and shone in the bright afternoon sun. Soon after the arrival of her commander, an interested person plight have noticed an increased activity of the white duck figures on her deck. Some were busy getting the launch hoisted in and secured, while others were uncovering and shaking out the sails. The habitual loafers on the wharf remarked to each •other that She must be gatin’ reddv ta move,” and speculated, in a lazy sort of a way as to “Wha she cud be goin’.” Soon the dripping anchor came to the surface with great pieces of seaweed still cling- ing to it, and a moment later the mainsail and fore- sail were up. The Sunbeam slowly swung until her bow was headed seaward. As she got under wav, her staysail, jibs, and topsails were set. Gradually the yacht stood out to sea. until she was lost in the afternoon haze. That same evening this telegram left Halifax:— Halifax. October 16, 189—. To William C. Endieott. Commander U. S. Forces, Provinectow n. Mass.:— Sch. yacht Sunbeam trying to smuggle cargo of --------1 into one of Sound ports. Left here this P. M. Intercept if possible. Good authority for statement. (Signed) Philip Haversend. Mayor of Halifax. Late that night Colonel Endieott was delivered the message. 11c immediately sent to Boston for a swift tug to report at once. Early the next morning die powerful tug Fred M. Hall arrived, and was quickly sent w ith an armed force to watch for the Sunbeam and capture her, if possible. On that first evening out Captain Dale was in a very pleasant frame of mind, as he thought how successfully he had outwitted the authorities at Halifax. As lie stood there watching the sunset, his mate cast a weather-wise look around, and made the remark: I reckon there will be a storm before many days. The sun is setting in a cloud to- night. How true his prophecy was we shall soon see. Late that evening the ship's course was suddenly changed from east to southwest. The helmsman, who knew nothing about the object of the voyage, looked rather surprised as he threw the wheel hard over. Next day at noon the yacht was passing Cape Sable. The wind was rapidly rising from the north, and the Sunbeam went scudding rapidly along before it. with her topsails and light jibs furled. Tile prophesying mate remarked that the old hooker would reach Cape Cod inside three days the rate she was clipping along now. During the next three days the tug slowly cruised back and forth. As the time went by. the excitement van high. Three times in as many days she had given chase to different vessels. Bets as to whether the smuggler would be caught were being made on every side. The storm had steadily increased until, on the fourth day, almost every wave swept the tug's deck. Late that after- noon the watch reported a schooner headed south under a storm jib and a reefed mainsail. The tug’s course was quickly changed, and she gave chase. On hoard the schooner the steamer had been sighted even sooner by the sharp-eyed lookout in the cross-trees and reported to Captain Dale, whose watch it was on deck. Anxiously he watched her until she changed her course and gave chase. As quickly as possible the yacht’s lighter sails were set until her lee rail went under and her bow was in a smother of foam. The racer flew through the water like a thing of life. Nervously the captain clung to the weather rail, now pulling his short, stubby mustache, now watching the straining canvas, now peering astern at his pursuer. At last lie could stand it no longer, and took the wheel himself. Could he get away? He must. Surely the tug was gaining. Oh! would the darkness never come? He might be able to elude his pursuer then. A mile, now only three-quarters of a mile away! As it became darker, be could only sec the red and green side lights of the tug behind. Suddenly the order was passed forward: All hands stand by to conic about.” At the same time [Concluded on j a«e i 5.] 94 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Sir Brcbibalb ® ? flDartba ZEbomas, X., ’07 OME here, you!” The great Dane looking out of the window gave no sign of having heard. I called again. This time he turned and waited politely. ' Ves.” I said, answering the question in his eyes, I was speaking to you. Would you mind coining here a minute?” The dog languidly resumed his survey of the landscape with a cool indifference that fairly made me blink. To say I was exasperated would be putting it mildly, but I wisely kept a calm front, blew a few rings of smoke into the air. and considered the question carefully. The dog undoubtedly was a thoroughbred. This he was perfectly aware of, and assumed such a haughty, unapproachable air at all times that I generally let Wilkins take care of him altogether, a job which that worthy gentleman did not relish at all. But this couldn't go on forever. I must make the animal understand our respective rela- tions to each other sooner or later. I was willing to take him on the basis of a friend,—that’s what 1 expected him to be when I bought him, but as a superior, never! I lived alone, and had thought he would be good company in the long winter evenings’; I even had a cosy picture in my mind of a blazing grate, a good book, and the dog at my feet. Needless to sav. these charming illusions were speedily dispelled five minutes after the great Dane entered the house; there was nothing cosy about Sir Archibald. I often caught myself ad- dressing him as “My lord.” and once 1 said “Yes, sir. when he asked to go out. Many a time within the last week had I wished that I had picked up the little, yellow cur that 1 saw shivering on the corner one cold night not long ago, instead of spending half a fortune on this biuc-blood. He would have been glad to sec me when I came home. Well, something had to be done. I wouldn’t beat him, for 1 knew that he wouldn’t lower him- self to return in kind, thus making it an entirely one-sided affair, with no satisfaction whatever gained. 1 wished he could talk, and vet I was glad that he couldn’t. For I had some misgivings as to who would come out on top. While absorbed in these gloomy reflections, there came a tiny knock at my door. “Who is it?” I asked, privately hoping it was no one of whom Sir Archibald wouldn’t approve. “Oh, it’s only me!” I knew the voice instantly; it was my little neighbor over the way. “Well. I should say so' Mow can you presume to intrude upon my society?” I said in mock severity, as I opened the door and swung my visitor up upon my shoulder, carrying her over to the fire. This sort of greeting delighted my lady immensely. “Sir!” she said, drawing down her little red mouth and trying to frown, “you arc not polite!” Whereupon I set her down, offered my hand in humble apology, and received a gracious and beam- ing pardon. This performance being duly ob- served,— we dr� it every time she comes to see me, with some variation, of course,—she climbed into my lap, grasped one of my hands with both her tiny ones, and breathed a sigh of relief. At this juncture the great Dane sauntered over to be introduced, but I paid no attention to him, and he quietly withdrew as a gentleman should. It was dusk, so the little maid on my knee did not see him. “Where have you been all this week, mv lassie?” i asked, watching the firelight dance in her eyes. Away. “You have! Well, I declare! Aren’t you the coolest young rascal!” I know it. she declared with solemn conviction. Well, that’s one step in the right direction. But you know it. and vet you make no effort to ex- plain. The plot thickens. You didn’t elope, did you?” I asked anxiously. Oh. dear, no! I don’t think I did.” Well, that certainly relieves me.” Buttons didn’t appear interested. “Aren’t you going to explain?” I asked after a few minutes’ pause. “Yes, I’ll tell you. I’ve been down to grandpa’s.” “Oh. I see! One man completely at your mercy isn't quite enough. May I inquire if grandpa is a willing subject?” Buttons didn’t quite get the trend of things, so she remained discreetly silent. t this point the dog again came over to the fire. I imagine he felt rather cold and lonesome over by the dark window. Buttons saw him, uttered an ecstatic O-o-o-h!” and jumped down from my knee. This was decidedly a victory for the other side. Oh, who is he. and when did you get him?” she asked, stroking his head softly. “Lot me introduce you,” I said, rising. Miss Ingram, it gives me great pleasure to present to you my friend, Sir Archibald Rockingham, who is staying with me for a short time.” Buttons made a courtesy, and Sir Archibald in- clined his head slightly in recognition. At least, it appeared so. The little girl then put her arms about his neck, and laid her soft check against his great head. Instead of being bored, the dog seemed actually to enjoy it. in a dignified, well- bred way. When one is introduced to a stranger,” I said, lighting another cigar, one doesn’t usually mani- fest one’s pleasure in his company by throwing one’s arms about his neck. Buttons looked doubtful over this bit of society etiquette._________________________________________ [Concluded on page 07.) THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 95 Ibis flfcotber 56v Cora t . Sargent, '07 HE great man of business sat at the desk in his office. Of late lie had worn a sad and weary expression which even his best friends had won- dered at. For here was a man ’ so they said, “that despite his thirty odd years and a few gray hairs had no reason for appearing so tired oi the world in general. He had made money, they went on to say, “which allowed him to move in the best society, and, as he was a man who took little interest in women, it surely could be no affair of the heart that worried him. hy then had he so suddenly withdrawn from their society without due explanation? Ah, how little our fellow beings understand us, even those we call our friends. In this man's life had happened a seemingly trivial incident which had changed his whole career. Having become wealthy by strict attention to busi- ness for about twenty years, lie had decided to take a vacation of a month, as he was now his own mas- ter. As soon as this was decided upon he bade farewell to his friends, little knowing that it was the last one to society in general, and departed for the old homestead, where he intended to live in se- clusion for a month, and come back what he termed a new man. As the train took him away from the city, he •could not help but reproach himself for not taking more care of the homestead. He had not been there since his mother died, some ten years ago. Ah. his mother! How beautiful she was, and how he had faithfully promised to come back and look after the old home, at least once a v.ear. But he had been so absorbed in business that he had found no time to go there. It had been his mother’s desire to have him live there and it had been her ambition that he would devote his life to the study of music, as she had done. The train slowly drew into the station. The lit- tle old-fashioned station which he had expected to see was replaced bv a newly modeled one. As he walked up the dimly familiar roadway and drew near his home his conscience seemed to smite him. Everything had been kept in perfect order by the old caretaker, and in the house the same order pre- vailed by the care of the housekeeper'. For a week or two the man of business lived en- tirely out of doors, lie then decided to explore the inside of the house. He had left the morning- room for the last one to be entered, as it was there that his mother and he had their beautiful talks. At last he opened the door and entered. Every- thing was just as it always had been, even to the fresh flowers placed there that morning by the old housekeeper. How familiar the piano looked, the one which his mother had taught him to play, hoping to make a musician of her son. And yes, there above the instrument was the large and won- derful picture of St. Cecilia at the piano. How often when a little chap he used to say that it looked like his mother playing, only not half so beautiful. Shutting, the door behind him, he slowly ad- vanced towards the piano, and seating himself, touched the keys. Then as if deeply impressed with the solemn situation in which he found him- self. lie began to play. Not for many years had his fingers encountered the keys of a piano, and at first it seemed strange. Finally, losing all thought of all save his mother, lie played piece after piece of her compo- sition. Thinking constantly of her and of how lie had failed to keep the promise he had so faithfully made to her, he lifted his eyes to the picture of St. Cecilia. Then—still playing—a mist seemed to form in front of him and it was as if lie saw his mother playing in heaven, with the little cherubs dropping the roses to her. And then a mighty sob shook the frame of that strong man and crying, Mother, he rested his head on his arms and sobbed as only a strong and noble man can sob. Often during the year he goes back to the dear old homestead. But while in the city he shuns his society friends, and still they wonder what could have changed this once happy and gav social “lion to the sad-faced man with an infinite look of ten- derness in his glance. Safe (Continued from page 03.) all the lights except the one in the binnacle were extinguished, and that one was carefully covered. Quickly the yacht swung on her keel until she was speeding along at right angles to her former course. A moment later the side light of the tug shot by a short distance astern, in pursuit.of its imaginary prize. The cold perspiration stood out in great drops on the face of the captain as he thought of his narrow escape. The next morning the Fred M. Hall steamed hack to Provincctown. where her captain reported to Colonel Endicott that he had given chase to the Sunbeam, but she had foundered in the gale. About a week later a black-hulled schooner, with a broken bowsprit, missing foresail, and badly broken rigging labored into Portland harbor. Under her stern was painted in crude letters the words Emma and Mary, but if a person had looked carefully, he might have decried the word Sunbeam under the black. That night certain parties in Halifax received this telegram:— Portland. Maine, October 28. 189—. To Frederick Eduards, 78 Blank street, Halifax:— Arrived safe in Portland this A. M. (Signed) Dale. 96 THIS SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Bn Ifncibent in Bermuda JSv? fjarolfc Kabbitt, IE., ’07 ERMUDA is a group of 365 islands situated about two days’ sail from New York, but not in the path of any of the trans-Atlantic lines. For this reason mails are received very seldom there, there being only two mail steamers which stop regularly, arriving from Hali- fax. N. S., and New York once and twice a month, respectively. Hamilton is the capital and chief sea- port of Bermuda, where all these ships dock. Some time ago I spent two delightful years in this country, with its perpetual summer. I lived across the harbor from Hamilton, and crossed over every day in a queer little steam launch. On one beautiful Thursday evening in January I was seated on my veranda thinking of the pleasures of the morrow, for two steamers were expected from home, one the Trinidad, bringing the regular mail, and the other the Madiana, which was making a tour of the West Indies, with Hamilton her first port. 'Hie Madiana was already overdue. The night was unusually clear, not a cloud in the sky, and a full moon lit up the landscape till it seemed like day. The only thing to mar the calm- ness of the night was a strong southwest breeze which ruffled the surface of the water into white- caps. I was so enchanted by the beauty of the evening that it was late when I retired; and as I looked from my window at the moon, I envied the man therein his possible power to sec those two ships upon which my thoughts were resting. The next morning T arrived at the ferry much earlier than usual in order to be in Hamilton to greet the ships. There was a rumor current that the Madiana had run upon the North Rocks and that many lives had been lost. I did not place much credence in the report, however, as this re- port is a usual one in Bermuda when a ship is over- due. About ten o'clock a tug arrived laden with the rescued passengers, and confirmed the report of the wreck. No human lives had been lost, but nearlv eighty head of cattle had perished. The Hamilton Hotel threw open its door to the ship- wrecked mariners, who had lost all their valuables, and were attired in every conceivable manner of dress, or I might say undress. The town then settled down to await the arrival of the Trinidad, which had been sighted and would land in about three hours. To add to the excite- ment. while docking his ship, the engineer mis- understood his orders and went full speed ahead in- stead of astern. The result was that the Trinidad destroyed the concrete ferry boat wharf and went about ten feet into the principal street of the town. After the passengers had landed and the mails had been distributed, the customary sleepy atmosphere overcame the place. At the investigation of the cause of the wreck of the Madiana, the captain stated that he sighted what he thought to be St. David’s Light about nine o’clock in the evening, and made his course accord- ingly. About five hours later the ship suddenly shivered and stopped. Knowing the nature of the coral reefs and the danger of falling from them, the engines were kept running until the fires were ex- tinguished. The ship turned until her bow pointed toward New York, and she then settled down until the water came to the cabin tops of the saloon deck on the port side and to the threshold of those on the starboard side. The passengers rushed on deck immediately, as they had no time to save anything, and they were in constant fear that the ship would slip off the reef. The captain again took his bear- ings and discovered that he had mistaken Gibbs Hill Light for St. David's Light, and was nearly fifteen miles from the channel. His rockets were answered from the naval station at Ireland Island, and about daybreak the passengers and crew were taken off by a tug. It was made known that on the following Sun- day a tug would visit the wreck with a select party of Bermudians. As I had a large acquaintance among these people, I was permitted to go. and was much surprised to learn that the fare was only four shillings. If it had been a party of tourists, the price would doubtless have been one pound apiece. We were all very anxious to board the wreck, but we knew that it would be impossible un- less weather conditions were unusually favorable. When Sunday came there was not a breath of wind, the surface of the water was like oil. and the sun as burning as the sun in a New England July. A party of forty started, all armed with cameras and lunches, quite prepared for a day of pleasure. There was no regular channel leading to the wreck, so it was necessary to have two pilots, one to stand at the bow of the tug and direct our course, and the other to manage the wheel. It was most ex- citing. as we glided along through the clear waters of the Atlantic, to see the many jagged teeth of gray coral, which appeared so near that it seemed they might tear a hole in the ship’s bottom. The varied colors made by the pink, white, and red coral lightened by tin flashes from the brilliant angel, cow. and moon fishes swimming in and out of their coral homes, made a picture which one is not likely to forget. The trip to the wreck, which was fifteen miles off shore, occupied two hours. Although the weather conditions could not have been more favor- able. our chances of landing appeared rather dubi- ous, as the ship was surrounded by a smother of boats of every description. Our pilots were ag- gressive men. however, and made for a point just forward of the bridge, where there was a party of THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 97 negroes in a pilot gig removing the ship’s stores. After an unpleasant conversation between our pilots and the negroes, the latter moved away, as our boat was the heaviest and could have crushed theirs. All the valuables had been removed previ- ously. and these pirate ships were now busy remov- ing everything, from the engines to the copper sheathing. The boarding was quite a serious prob- lem, as it had to be done by jumping from our tug just at the moment when she rose cn the top of a wave. The first man came to grief by landing prone on a broken flour bag. The remainder of the party landed without mishap. We at once started on a tour of the ship for souvenirs, and our treasures were of the most diverse and useless nature ever before collected: lamps, lanterns, crockery, signs, brass tubing, ship’s papers, bed clothing, life preservers, in fact, everything imagin- able. My personal collection was an oid pistal. about ten feet of brass tubing, a hammer, a chisel, the brass sign from the saloon door, a porthole light, the engineer’s log. the ivory keys from the piano, and many less important trophies. In order to ob- tain rhe piano keys. I removed my shoes and stock- ings and went down into the saloon. The water there was very dirty from the oil and filth which flated up from the engines, but this did not prevent some from diving into the submerged cabins in search of more valuable articles. Nothing of this Sir Hrcbibalfc [Continued from pago 01 J Why?” she asked at length. It isn’t the thing.’’ I said decidedly. Oh. well.

In fact, he is everything he should not be.’’ II’m. said the judge, tapping her forehead thoughtfully, and in a manner which was meant to imply that it was only by the superior keenness of her perceptions that she would be able to decide in so grav' and weighty a matter. ’ lie isn't that way sort was found, however. We staked out claims on the tug. where we placed our booty collected by three hours’ diligent search. On the return trip it was suggested that we land at the Ducking Stool, an obscure landing place about three miles from Hamilton. A collection was taken up for the pilots, who were influenced In- ibis to land the party wherever they wished. How- ever. some of us. including myself, did not wish to land at the Ducking Stool, as it meant a three-mile walk to town, and we saw no advantage in this, so we continued around to Hamilton in the tug. Everything was quiet there, and I went home and indulged my appetite, which I had forgotten in the excitement. The next day I was startled to hear that the customs officials had been after us. They suspected that a landing was to be made at the Ducking Stool, and met the party there. They seized all their souvenirs, and arrested one of the party, who was fined fifteen pounds. I hastened to bury my treasures, and was one of the few fortu- nate ones who kept souvenirs of the trip. The affair was soon hushed up, however, as some of the most prominent citizens of the town were membeis of the party. Just one year from the date of the mishap the Madiana slipped from the reefs into the unfathom- able depths below. He probably likes ladies’ societv.” “Maybe. 1 tell you what I'll do. I'll tell him you are my friend. He’ll like you then.” All right,” I answered good-naturedly, “go ahead, but let me see it’ my tie is straight first, and mv hair in proper order. I should hate to appear at a disadvantage at such a critical point in my career.” Having assured myself by a hasty survey in the mirror that everything regarding my appearance was perfectly correct. I awaited the pleasure of our mediator. With one tiny hand in mine, and the other resting lightly on the great Dane’s head, she introduced us. Sir Archibald Rockingham, 1 want to make you acquainted with my very best friend. Mr. John Hamilton Stanley.” I looked down into the dog's big eyes, and I think from that moment we understood each other, and he learned to trust me. For he loved the little girl, and the little girl loved me, therefore, as any one can see, by mere geometrical progression, he must love me. I took the little maid upon my knee, the fire blazed merrily, and the dog lay down at our feet, so you see I realized my picture, after all. Thus it was that I came to know Sir Archibald, and since that day our friendship has flourished like weeds in the springtime. Often my little neighbor over the way drops in. early in the evening, and settles any difficulties—we still have ’em—which might have arisen during the day between him and myself, and she has confided to me more than once that she loves me just as much as Sir Archibald, so you see I ought to be as happy. 98 THIS SOMERVILLE RADIATOR fllMee flfoarta anfc tbe ZLelepbone .TSv Etbel S. Ikimiman, %., '07 ISS MARIA was never so happy as when she was spying on other people's affairs. She was bad enough beforehand, but when her brother put a telephone in the house, she was in her glory. Now she knew just when Jennie Smith and Joe Simms quarreled, and when they made up, what the Joneses were going to have for dinner, and how much they paid for it. People might call her a prying old woman, and she knew they did. but they liked to know what Mrs. Smith's new dress was going to be as well as she. The truth was that they did not know about the tele- phone. or they probably would have been more guarded in their conversation. Her brother was away all day; and she would bring her work into the room where the telephone was and sit there, waiting for the bell to ring. Not her number—oh, no! that very seldom rang; and when it did, site did not jump up half so quickly as when Mrs. Jones’ or Mrs. Smith’s rang. ()n this particular morning she had been sitting there for some time, and the bell had not rung once. At last she became so nervous that she de- cided to investigate matters. She took down the receiver, and was sure that she heard Mrs. Smith’s voice, and, also, that she was giving an order to a caterer. The conversation was soon over, and M iss Maria returned to her work to ponder over what she had heard. Why was Mrs. Smith ordering a caterer? That was the principal question. Next Wednesday evening, she had said: surely if it were a party, the invitations would have been out long ago, and Miss Maria would have been the first to know it. Just then she saw Mrs. Smith walk down the street. She ran to the window, and saw Mrs. Jones join her at her gate, the two walking on in earnest conversation. Evidently she was not the only one who noticed this, for the next moment Mrs. Jones’ number rang. When Miss Maria reached the telephone, some one was saying. “And say. Marv, it won’t be much longer that I’ll be a-telephoniiv to you, for I’m thinkin' of leavin’.” “You don't say!” came the reply. And what’s after causin’ you to do that?” “Oh. the missus is workin’ me too hard nowa- days. Too much scrubbin’ and cleanin’.” It was very plain now. The Smiths were to have a party Wednesday evening, and she was not in- vited. She wondered if the Browns and the Whit- takers and the Slades knew it; and immediately decided to put on her bonnet and find out. She came back from her visits dissatisfied. No one seemed interested in her news, but all seemed anxious to learn how she had found it out. She did not commit herself, however, and she left them no wiser than when she came. When Wednesday arrived everything confirmed her suspicions. There was Mrs. Smith’s black silk dress, only worn on state occasions, airing on the clothes line. Jennie’s head appeared out the back door with a wreath of curl papers adorning the front. But when evening came, the house was not lighted up more than was usual: and Miss Maria put that down in her mind as the first item to be mentioned in her account of the party next morn- ing. For the Browns and the Slades and the Whittakers had not been invited, and each family must have its story. Miss Maria was now anxious to see who the guests were to be: but while she was carefully watching the Smiths’ front door, her own doorbeil rang. Not wishing to desert her post, she called to her brother in the next room and asked him to answer the bell. As no response came, she sup- posed he must be asleep, and reluctantly went to the door. When she opened it. she saw all her neighbors grouped about, and heard them shout something which she did not understand. She stood there, holding the door open, and saying not a word: and not until her brother came to find what all the commotion was about did she know enough to ask them in. When she finally understood that this was not Mrs. Smith’s party, but hers, her very own, she entered into all the enjoyment of the evening, eat- ing the ices which she had heard ordered with as much zest as any one. and thinking that perhaps people didn’t think as badly of her as in her heart I of hearts she had fancied. She never heard whether Mrs. Smith’s maid left or not: for from that day she seemed to lose her interest hi other people’s affairs, and when her brother suggested removing the telephone, she was glad to have it go.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 99 Zhc Zwo IDalentinee 3 x IDow, ’OS S Jack XorwocKl took the dainty valen- tine which he had purchased that afternoon from his pocket, and looked at ll' ,c E-lt much pleased with liini- self and very well contented with the world in general. He studied this emblem of Cupid for a long time, trving to make up his mind whether it would be appreciated by the only girl in the world. At last he seemed per- suaded that it would, and putting it back into the white envelope, lie addressed it to Miss Dorothy Clifford. He hesitated a moment, and finally, taking a card bearing his own name from his pocket, he wrote a few short words upon it. and, contrary to the time-honored custom of sending valentines anonymously, placed it in the envelope. Leaving this unsealed upon the table, he went out to walk. Ten minutes later Jack's small brother entered tiie room, and noticing the snowy white envelope on the table, peeped into it. and on seeing the val- entine. saw a chance for mischief. He quickly drew the valentine from its envelope, and leaving the card within, placed in the place of the dainty offering one of the comic variety with which the small boy is so familiar. He then sealed it, and, strange to say, left no dirty finger marks. He heard his brother approaching, and taking the stolen missive, he hurried quickly away. The next morning, after a moment of wondering when he had sealed the missive, and thinking it strange that he did not remember. Jack sent the valentine on its errand. The small brother was also busy ; he, also, had posted a valentine, and on its wrapper was scrawled the name. Margerv Clifford Evening arrived. Jack Korwood left for the ( lifford home, and was ushered into the parlor, where he waited for Miss Dorothy. She came at last, but was this haughty creature his dear friend? What in the world liad happened to her? Conversation lagged, although Jack did his best to be social. Finally Dorothy’s anger burst out in a flood of indignant words. Jack was unable to gather anything from her speech. An insult, a valentine, she did not know lie was such a brute. Protests on Jack’s part were of no use. He was leaving the house, thoroughly enraged, and deter- mined to punish severely the one who had treated him so meanly, when his eye fell upon a valentine on the hall table. Was it. could it be5 Yes. it certainly was the one lie had bought for Dorothy. He seized it. and quickly retraced his steps to the parlor. Hold- ing the valentine before Dorothy, he demanded an explanation. The valentine. said she. “is one which your small brother, with more gallantry than yourself, sent to my sister Margery.” Jack's face was a study, so varying were the ex- pressions that passed over it. Explanations fol- lowed. and when Jack started homeward lie be- lieved himself the happiest man alive. What happened to the small brother we will spare your feelings by not relating, but will leave you to imagine. Miss Margery felt somewhat :n- dignant over the turn of affairs, but when, the next ciav, a box of chocolates arrived for her bearing Jack's card, she was entirely recompensed for the loss of the valentine. H Sail SDowit tbe Ibarbor J5s Ernest W. Cbapln, E., '09 HERE was quite a party of them, ten in all. They were summer boarders at the little seacoast town and were green to the sea” in every sense of the term. Composed of young men and women all between twenty and thirty they made a jolly crowd. Amid much jest and laughter they boarded the rickety barge,” which was to take them to the wharf, along with their numerous paraphernalia for an all- dav’s cruise,—overcoats, lunches, guns, cameras, rubber boots. One of the jolliest was a certain dapper young gentleman, in high collar and patent- leather shoes. The old skipper.” whose boat they had hired, said something about a “stiff breeze” and a tough sea. but was silenced by the dapper one who said: Let her blow, uncle. Give it to us hard and swift, and see what good sailors we arc.” The old salt smiled like one who anticipates the last laugh. The barge stopped and a weary, bedraggled com- pany alighted at the hotel steps just after supper that evening. Rather white about the gills. with bowed heads and bent shoulders, they tiled pen- sively up the steps, into the hotel, and to their rooms, looking neither to the right nor to the left. The skipper chuckled softly; the no-longer-dapper young man brought up the rear with a hand on hi; head and a hand on his vest. 100 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR XLhc IRomance of Xittle miss Mcehe ITTLE Miss Weeks came o«t upon her front porch and gazed down the dusty road toward the river. ’Way down on the green banks that sloped to the water she could see two peo- ple sitting close together and ap- parently oblivious of all the world. She watched them for a while and then turned away with a little sigh. The sigh was hardly indicative of poignant grief, but rather a remi- niscent one. for long, long ago she had been by the river with Someone by her side and made plans for the future. Then one day he went away with great hopes and promises for the future. That was all—he never wrote and never came back, but left little Miss Weeks waiting for him. She had always been little Miss Weeks ever since she could remember, and that was a long time. Generation after generation of children came to her rose-covered little house and. with varying stages of confidence, had asked permis- sion to pick the cherries, and grown up and gone their ways, and she was still little Miss Weeks. And yet, as she retrod the paths of her memory it did not seem long since she had made up her mind to change it to Parker, and a faint smile spread over her face as she wondered if people would then have called her little Mrs. Parker. More likely she thought it would be Mis', for only the Squire's wife rose to the dignity of Mrs. She had never lost faith in Richard Parker, her Richard, and though others, even her sister, scoffed she believed that some day he would come back to her and explain it all. And so the years sped on and each recurring summer brought the hope that perhaps this summer he would come back. And she was right. He intended to come back when he had made his fortune and could proudly claim her for his own. but the years had flown by and he was as far from success, the success that he wanted, as when he went away. One day business called him through the little town in which she lived and he took his scat with the hope that when they went through—for the train did not stop—he might see her house. It was a hot. muggy morning in August when he started, and taking a seat on the shady side of the train he deposited his grips and selecting a magazine from the pile of a passing newsboy, soon lost himself in its contents. It was a run of over an hour to the little town, so that he would not begin to watch for it for some time. With gathering speed the train drove on through the heat, and perspiring passen- gers with wilted collars called maledictions down upon the railroad, the weather, and everything that added to their discomfort. He was getting his things together so that he might be on the watch for the town when there came a grinding of wheels, a crash, and lie slid out into the aisle propelled by the momentum of the train. Passengers yelled and he remembered vainly trying to hold on to something, then a swaying, sickening motion, and the car seemed to leap from the track and he knew no more. He was found among the dangerously wounded and tenderly lifted and carried to the depot, where already willing nurses had gathered to care for those who needed it. Among the helpers was little Miss Weeks, and as she surveyed the man- gled sufferers her lips tightened, but she bent bravely to her work. In passing down the aisle of cots that had been gathered from far and near, she stopped and caught her breath. “That looked like Richard.’’ At the same moment he opened his eyes and met hers, his lips moved, and she ran to his side to hear what he said. Margaret,” he gasped, “do you know me?” “Yes, Richard, dear.” she whispered, “you have come back to me, and she bent over and kissed him. Yes. he had come home, but what a home com- ing. The doctors said he could live but a short time, a few hours at the most. All the long after- noon she sat beside him and did the many little things a woman can do to lighten the burden of suffering humanity. About six o’clock, as the sun was nearing the western horizon, he seemed to gather strength and talked to her. He told her how he had meant to write but that the news had been so discouraging lie did not dare to, and how a year and then another had flown without his being able to tell her what he wanted to. and how at last when the time did come, how he was ashamed to write her, it had been so long. He allowed her to think that he had been on his way to her when the accident happened, and she was content to let him rest in her arms, and sadly, so sadly, she watched the life ebb away from him. Little Miss Weeks, brave to the last, whispered words of comfort, though her voice was choked with tears. It seemed so hard, after all these years she had waited, that at last he had come to her only to die. That happened several years ago. and every sum- mer you can sec little Miss Weeks come out on the porch and gaze down the road and then gaze up the road to the little cemetery, and underneath a clump of stately elms she can just distinguish a small white stone which marks the resting place of Richard Parker. Then she turns away with a little sigh, one of loving sorrow, and goes into the house.

Sibley, Class Editor. Another vacation so soon. Only one more after this for ’07. Since “1907” has become a city haven’t you all noticed the stoop of the mayor’s shoulders and that care-worn expression he wears? E. Ere—an spent nearly twenty minutes during the ethics period calculating how much time he spent in his study. Speaking of powerful agents in history recently some brainy student suggested the book agent. We were surprised to see one of the girls vote license in the town meeting. Questions in Geology: “Where arc fossils found ?” Go—n: “Why. on the seashore.” We wonder if it was Revere or Nantaskct? I’---ly was seen taking a pink soap box care- fully out of his pocket and placing it in the table drawer up in Physiology at the close of the period. We are glad to note that at least one has a “soap box conscience.” The committee for the Junior social has been made up as follows: Misses Bradford and Tccle, and Messers. Campbell, Kebbon. and Hoyt. ()lin says he does not care for eggs or any other kind of meat, for that matter. Some of the girls are trying already to bribe the boys with candy to buy their tickets for the Junior social from them. Sp—r is a call man in the tire department now. Miss Bur—n. “please smile ’ The S. S. Club has been formed. The members arc part of the old D. D. Our youthful prodigy. Pres—on, has just arrived at the age of twelve.

A— Free—n surprised us very much when he spoke of entertaining guests in the kitchen. Some of the Tech men beg to differ with the statement made in the recent play that the end of physics is our bodies’ health.” They state that the end of physics is either a I) or a few weeks after school. We arc informed from good authority that Ar—d suffered recently from a severe attack of lightness of the head due to the late haircut and was obliged to remain at home. We wonder if Sn—w thought seriously when he asked “if the city would object if in case of a wedding lie obstructed the sidewalk.” Room 21 still constitutes a meeting place for the patriots, statesmen, literary men, scientists, besides the aldermen and political bosses.

Last spring Sharrv was also chosen captain for the 1907 dia- mond. Sharrv graduated from the Carr Grammar School in the class of 1901. and entered the Latin School the next fall, lie first made his appear- ance on the diamond in the spring of 1905 as sec- ond baseman, which position he has filled very creditably ever since, making the reputation as one of the best men in scholastic baseball. In Sharrv the team has an excellent leader, a naturally born athlete, thoroughly acquainted with games in all their branches. He is in the Junior class. Latin. ’08.

'10 I 12 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Xlbc debate For the first time in the history of the schools the Somerville English High School is to be repre- sented in an interscholastic debate. The student body has long enjoyed the privilege of witnessing its athletic teams gain victory after victory, but it has never had the pleasure, until the present time, of supporting a team ambitious for scholastic tri- umphs. Debaters, you have our well wishes, and we fer- vently hope that the standard for which you arc striving; namely, supremacy in an interscholastic argumentative sphere, may be secured and that this standard will remain a permanent fixture of the Somerville High Schools. Miss Edith G. Carlton, Radcliffc, ’07, and Ivan G. Smith, Harvard, ’09, have been choeen secretaries. Invitations may be secured by applying to the secretaries. K � . K K TLbe baseball Concert The attendance at the Baseball concert which is to be held March 29 in the Henry M. Moore Hall should exceed that of all previous years. The price of the tickets has been reduced and every member of the High Schools should feel it his duty to attend. The proceeds arc to be devoted to the use of the 1907 baseball team, so that the success of the team depends, in no small degree, upon the success of the concert. Zo tbe Blumni We wish to thank most heartily all members of the Alumni who have contributed material for this month’s issue. There is no one thing more encouraging to those deeply interested in the schools’ welfare than the unfailing loyalty of the Alumni to their Alma Mater. ► � ► , Bit Bclmowlefcomcnt We wish to gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a story from Ii. Paikcr Lowell, L., ’00, and former editor of the Radiator. Owing to lack of space, however, we were unable to utilize it in this issue, but hope to present it at a future date. K K K � Collegian Dance Committees representing the Somerville alumni of the various colleges have met and decided to hold a reunion in Anthoinc Academy April 13. Henry Chickcring. Harvard, ’07, has been selected chairman of the committee of arrangements, while Zbc Suite IRabiator It is by no means too early to begin to think of the June Radiator, and the staff is already at work preparing an issue which we are ambitious to make one of the best souvenir editions ever produced.

Gabriel jfarrell, 3r., %., '0(3 i. O you believe in Fate? Why. no. I am not superstitious.” some will an- swer. Others will say, Well, yes. but—no, not always, sometimes 1 do.” These do not know what they believe, so we will drop them. And again, others will manfully say: Why, of course I believe in Fate, that irresistible power which tends to cross one's career either for good or evil.” And yet, though I admire that frank, outspoken answer, for J am a firm believer in l-'ate. I want to take excep- tion to the last few words— that irresistible power which tends to cross one’s career either for good or evil.” here I differ is in this : Does Fate tend to cross one’s career for evil? I do not think so. Of course, 1 do not mean to insinuate that Fate does not place us in unpleasant situations. For it does indeed. How many times are even the most de- voted followers of Fate hurled headlong into a tur- bulent sea of trouble by the inevitable hand of Fate. But what is it that in an instant plunges in and res- cues the sufferers? That is the question, and to it you can give but one answer.—Fate. Fate has been a true and faithful friend to me. It has placed me in hard positions, yet it has been Fate which has made my exit dear, so why could I complain of it ? Why, for that matter, I even won my wife through the hand of Fate. Is that not sufficient reason for my confidence in it? For my wife is the most beautiful and kind-hearted woman that ever lived. And this is how we first met:— J had always thought that 1 was born for a bachelor, so I joined a bachelors’ club. But after all of tiie other fellows had become martyrs, I de- termined to forsake the—forsake what?—I was go- ing to say the rest, but, alas, they had all left me, so 1 had none to forsake, and could marry with a clear conscience. But the next and probably most important ques- tion then arose, who should be the—conceit being one of my virtues—I said the fortunate one. I was not very well acquainted among the oppo- site sex. for after my graduation from college 1 had gone abroad, and had hardly been at home a year, which time had been spent at the club or at my country home with bachelor friends. The young ladies whom 1 did meet were by no means im- pressed with me, as a kind, frank friend once re- lated. Upon meeting a young feminine friend, he inquired if she had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Parker (that is the name I answer by when 1 do answer). “Who, that ugly, hateful, conceited, lazy, old bore? Why, to know him is anything but a pleasure.” Well, that description pleased me more than any- thing that I had heard for some time, as it was the general sentiment of the feminine sex towards me. They cared nothing for me, and you may ask. hv should they? They could not love me !• r my beaut), for I had none: they could not love me for my gallantry, tor I knew not that art: they could not love me for my ability, for no one, not even myself, knew that. But, even with all that against me. 1 became more determined, and trusted to my faithful friend Fate, and was confident that it should lead me through this adventure, as it had through numerous others. When, after thinking over the matter. I recol- lected a little girl whom we called Polly.—Miss Pauline Miller was her name.—whom 1 knew while I was in college. She had been good to me, so I concluded that she should have the first chance. So that evening I thrust my hand into that of Fate, and was led to the street and aboard a car which should take me to Twelfth street, where I had found that Miss Miller lived. 1 had hardly passed two streets, when, as 1 was engaged in an ardent prayer to hate, the car suddenly came to a standstill with a jerk which nearly precipitated me to the forward end of the car. 1 had thought that I was the only passenger, but upon looking around. J was sur- prised to see the most charming young lady whom 1 had ever laid eyes upon enter. It was indeed love at first syght. Mv heart was in a flutter (imagine it 1� . and Fate was whispering in both ears that there was indeed my affinity. I sat there and gazed at her. perfectly unconscious of all surroundings. The conductor called Tenth street: he called Eleventh ; soon came Twelfth street. Twelfth ; but my mind was elsewhere, and I did not hear him. But, alas, it soon came to an end. for Milady rose to her feet, and with a majestic sweep walked to the i ear of the car. and alighted as the conductor called Twcnty-second street. I gathered together my senses, and wondered if I had been in a dream, but no, indeed. I could still ee the beautiful face, and I knew that it was real. 1 got up and walked out on the back platform of the car, on which was a pleasant-faced fellow of a con- ductor, who greeted me with : Beauty, wasn't she?” Who?” I -inquired. Why, the lady who just got oft !” She was. I replied laconically, as a peculiar feeling rushed over me. It must have been jealousy ! Anyway, it forced me to sound him. A friend of vours?” I inquired. Not a personal friend, but she comes out regu- larly on my car. She is interested in slum work, and teaches a class in a social settlement house every afternoon. She has heaps of money.” I ndeed! This must be a pleasant position, if you continually meet such people.” It has its unpleasant sides, also,—so much so that I am going to get through with the job at the end of the week.” 1 noticed that we were nearing my club, so I 114 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR determined to step there and spend the evening. 1 now had no thoughts of Miss Miller. I went up to the smoking room and settled in a quiet corner, and tried to formulate a plan for mak- ing the young lady’s acquaintance. Rut it was use- less. I could think of no course but to follow her home and find her residence, but I could not tol- erate that idea, so 1 concluded to leave it to Fate and await developments; for I was confident that it would lead me into light. Soon Bill Somers, my best friend, came along, to whom I shouted. “Eve met her. Bill, and she's a queen !” W ho ” asked Bill, slowly lighting a cigarette. “W hy. the girl I'm going to marry!” cried I dis- gustedly. II'm. so you think you'll marry, do you? Who do you think would be fool enough to marry you?” See here. Bill Somers, you have had lots of privileges as my friend, but you cannot talk to me like that. This girl will marry me, and she’ll be no fool in doing it, either.” replied I angrily. Has she accepted you?” calmly. Heavens, man. I haven’t pro| osed yet. Why, I don’t even know her name, or where she lives.” Well, you never will, then.” Look here. I 'ill; this is the tenth of November. 'Pile club holds a ladies’ night the fifteenth of De- cember. I’ll wager you the best dinner in town that she accompanies me to that event, and that I introduce her to you. I’ll take you up, it’s a safe bet,” lie replied. II. Tims does Fate show her invincible power! How often have we seen the proud trampled in the dust, the happy made unhappy, the rich become poor, and the man of leisure made to earn his daily bread! Whom are we to hold responsible for such changes? Fate, indeed! Thus was it brought about that I, a man of no occupation, was brought to a hard situation. A position full of all the troubles and worries of life, for besides being exposed to all kinds of weather, I was exposed to the rage and fury of numerous old ladies and chronic gentlemen. And all for the love of a maid! Was it worth it? Each day for three weeks, for eight hours a day. had I stood on the back platform of a street car and collected fares and called streets (for I was indeed a conductor, formally sworn in. and rigged out in brass buttons), for the sake of seeing a young lady for twenty short minutes, while she rode from town to Twenty- second street. I was feeling pretty blue this evening, after three weeks’ service, as 1 started on mv daily awaited trip in a blinding snowstorm. Not a passenger had boarded the car when we reached her customary starting point. I had hardly expected to see her on such a stormy evening, but I was not to be dis- appointed, for the car stopped; it had been moving at a snail’s pace, the snow was so heavy, and she stepped aboard with a most charming ‘Tsn t it just terrible!” It is, indeed,” I assured her, but I do not think it was one-half as terrible as mv surprise at her ad- dressing me. Since, for every day of my service, I had approached her with. Fares, please,” I had said it politely, gently, softly, loudly, gruffly, and coarsely, but to no avail. I could get nothing but the nickel, which was coolly dropped, never placed in my hand so that I might get even one touch of her dainty fingers. She never even lifted her eyes. I had hardly recovered from .mv surprise when the car. which had been hardly moving, came to a dead stop. Upon seeing no one to get aboard, I leaned out and looked ahead. One could not imagine my bewilderment upon seeing that we were stalled in a snowdrift. I walked forward to the motorman, who said: Its of no use. Bob. This is as far as we go to- night. Got any passengers?” One lady,” I replied. Well, you had better explain, and tramp off home with her, and I’ll stay by the ship.” Here, for once, my courage failed me, and I begged Kelley, the motorman, to exchange places, but I was greeted with: “Begorry, I’ll not. you know more about ladies than me, and I know more about cars than you ; so get off with you.” So. summoning all my courage, I entered the car, made a deep 1k w, and began : Madam-----” Miss, if you please.” I beg your pardon. Miss, the car has become stalled in a snowdrift, and the wires arc brok-” Oh. dear! how shall I ever get home in such a storm?” Mad—Miss, I beg to offer my services as vour escort.” Thank you,” frigidly, but I believe I can get along perfectly well alone.” Miss, it is extremely stormy out, and to allow you to go alone would be dastardly on my part.” Sir. your company is not wanted, so I shall pro- ceed alone.” As a gentleman. Miss, it is my duty to see you safely home, and I insist upon it. Come, let us start.” ery well, if you insist upon going when you are not desired, vou may walk behind me, but you must promise that under no condition will you come within ten feet of me.” I promise,” I replied, and followed after her as she started to plow her way through the snow. It had been snowing very hard for some time, and the snow was exceedingly deep, with occasional high drifts, so that walking was very tedious. Ve had proceeded in silence for some distance, when the young lady came to a high drift. With brave determination, she plunged in to make her way through, but when about half way. she stopped, exhausted. Soon came to my ears: If you were a gentleman, you would come to my assistance.” “As a gentleman, my dear Miss, I must keep my promise.” She attempted to go on again, but she could not, and then: Won’t you please assist me? plead- ingly. “I should like to very much.” [Continued on page 113.] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR i 5 jfrattk Carlton's Christmas Vacation 36 ? H. B. mo CS, '05 ELL, boys,” said Johnson, the night watchman, “as soon as we got those two trunks on to the 6.35 train. I guess we’ll call it off for to-night.” It was two o’clock in the morning, December 25, 1906, and the express- men were still working at the shed of the great Adams corporation in Boston. It was the annual Christmas rush, and for the last week all had been working like Trojans. These men were the one o'clock gang, and the men who got the hardest part of the work. They went to work at one in the afternoon, and ordinarily got through at half-past ten or eleven at night, but dur- ing the rush it was more apt to be two. and some- times three o’clock in the morning before they got out. and three days in succession it had been be- tween five and six before their day’s work was over. So it was welcome news that came from the boss’s lips, for every man of them was thoroughly tired out, and only longed to get home and to bed. It was doubly welcome to young Frank Carlton. It seemed to him that he had never been so weary in all his life. Frank was a Freshman at Tufts, working for the Adams Express Company during the Christmas vacation. While he was a strong, sturdy chap, he was not used to such hard labor as this, and the long hours, and exposure one night to a heavy rain, had told more or less on his strength. l nt at the words of Johnson he brightened up a little bit. pushed his truck up to one of the trunks, and carted his load out to the 6.35. When that was done the night's work was finished, but he couldn’t get a car out to the college for half an hour, so he lay down on otie of the tables in the office to wait. He had lain dozing for a few moments, when, Some one’ll have to watch that Pittsburg car. Who'll take the job?” came vaguely to his ears. Then the man next to him leaned over, and said : “I wish 1 could take it. There's two ‘plunks’ in it. “What's that?” Carlton muttered. ‘Two dollars for just sleeping in the car the rest of the night.” Sure. affirmed his neighbor. I’ll take it, Mr. Johnson,” came from the college boy. Johnson hesitated. Carlton was not a regular, and he did not want to give the job to him. Put no one else spoke, and finally the night boss said: Well, somebody’s got to stay in that car. and none of the regular men seem to want to. I guess it’s on account of Christmas. They want to get home, and besides, they’re all tired out, anyway. Mosc has that car ordinarily, but his wife’s pretty sick, and he had to go home. You’ll only get four hours’ sleep, you know. The car pulls out at 6.35.” In a few moments Frank was cnrled up in a blanket in one end of the express car. with one light burning dimly, and all the doors bolted. For a few minutes he lav awake, thinking of what the watchman had whispered in his ear just before he said good-night. In the small iron safe near him was $30,000 and some valuable papers of the cont- panv. No wonder he hesitated before he gave me the job.” thought Frank. Frank had spoken of a revolver.,and the boss had said that ordinarily the watcher would have one, but Mosc had taken his with him. and besides, it was not worth considering, for no attempt to rob a car had been made for twentv vears. v ’ o Suddenly Frank awoke. It was one of those sudden awakenings from a deep, profound sleep— one that shakes a person’s soul with terror. He felt a vague, nameless fear. Where was he? Who was he? He had never seen such an intense dark- ness. No light or sound gave him a clue. Slowly his thoughts returned to him. Tufts! Yes, he was a student at Tufts. It was the Christmas vacation. But he should be at home then, and he knew this wasn’t the little room in the attic which saw so little of him since coming to col- lege. Ah ! he was working for the Adams Express ( ompany. and — and was watching a car; the Pitts- burg car. Evidently the light had gone out. 'I hen a thrill of terror ran through his body. He heard a slight sound not twenty feet away, and some one muttered: It's up at the other end. Bill.” Shut up. you fool! Don’t I know where it is? Do you want to wake the kid before we can nab him?” growled a second voice. Carlton was trembling with excitement now. His fear had left him. It was tin mysterious, the unexplainable that had so nearly unnerved him: but now it was a real live danger. He was ready for that. What do you fellows want in here' he de- manded in a stern, calm voice. His answer was a muttered exclamation of dis- appointment and a blinding flash of light front a small jKJcket lantern. The next instant he was grappling with a strong, heavy form in the dark- ness. Help! Help! Johnson! Johnson! Pitts- burg car!” came back in hollow echo from the side of the express car. Curse you!” muttered the dark form. We’ll kill you for that.” The next instant he felt another pair of hands clutching at his feet. He kicked out viciously with his right foot, and some one let out a howl of pain. ‘‘Bill,” hurriedly gasped the man lie had kicked, we'd better ‘beat it.’ If he lets out another yell, we'll have that Johnson down here.” No. we won't. I shut the door, and Johnson’s [Continued on page It!� .] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 116 TLhc Scaled Chamber IRutb m. II?ills, X., ’06 PRINGFIELD!” shouted the brake- man. Leave no parcels in the car! Springfield! Springfield!” 1 gathered together my various be- longings, for Springfield was my des- tination. As I swung off the train, I caught sight of a fellow who had been a class- mate of mine at Harvard. I had never been par- ticularly intimate with him. but he was a 1903 man, and that was enough to make me glad to return his hearty handshake. Glad to see you, old boy! he exclaimed. How's the world treating you now? Didn’t know you ever came to Springfield.” I never did before,” I answered. What’s more. 1 haven't been in Massachusetts since June, ’03. 1 prefer the wild and woolly West.” Don’t blame you. Jack,” and Tom emphasized his remark by sympathetically slapping me on the shoulder. For a moment I was angry, for I hoped that Tom Davenport and everybody else had for- gotten the troubles of my Senior year, when wooed and lost pretty little Dorothy Barnett. Wonder what's become of her,'’ 1 thought, but my pride wouldn't let me ask Tom for information. Instead. I remarked quickly:— Let’s not bring up old memories. Say, Tom, tell me the name of a good hotel in this metropolis of yours.” Hotel? Not much! answered Tom, taking possession of one of my suit cases. You’re to come up to our place.” I wouldn’t think of it. old man. I don’t want to bother your folks. I’ll put up at a hotel, for I may be around here a month or more on some business for mv uncle, and I’d soon wear out my welcome at your house, or anywhere I might visit.” No, you wouldn’t!” said Tom emphatically. You come home with me. My mother and sister will both be glad to have you stay just as long as you want to. You see,” he explained, my mother likes a good time and a houseful of company as well as anybody. She believes in the old saying, ‘The more, the merrier.’ Consequently, she’s always glad to have Bess and me bring home our friends to stay two days or two months, as the case may be. We’ve got some extra rooms, and we like to have them occupied. Bess has three or four Smith girls visiting her now, and I heard her remark this morning that she wished there were a few more Harvard men in the vicinity. She won’t look at men from any other college. So, you see, she'll welcome you, as well as my mother, even if you arc an old ‘grad.’ ” “All right, since you insist,” I replied, for the prospect of a home was much pleasanter than that of a hotel. Besides, I had met Mrs. Davenport in Cambridge in 1903, and I remembered her as a de- lightful woman. Bess was then a tall, ungainly girl of fourteen. Perhaps four years had changed her. n An 1 sat in the Davenports’ library that evening, I felt mighty grateful to Tom for taking possession of me. Mrs. Davenport had been cordiality itself. The dinner was immense. Bess had turned out to be an exceedingly pretty girl, and the Smith girls were not far behind her. Some friends of Tom’s, also Harvard grads,” had dropped in during the evening. Altogether things just suited me,—ex- cept occasional!' when 1 thought of Dorothy, for seeing the old boys brought back memories of my college days, and particularly of that fatal Class Day, when 1 had been refused. Probably she’s forgotten all about me,” I thought bitterly. The evening passed quickly. When it came time to turn in. Tom took me up to my room, which was next to his on the third floor. We chatted for a while, and then he left me, after wishing me a hearty good-night.” I pulled a notebook out of my pocket and sat down by the table to look over the business instruc- tions which my uncle had given me. But I couldn’t concentrate my mind on business. The room seemed close. I got up to open a window. I pulled aside the curtains and shade, but, to my surprise, I found only the blank wall instead of window glass. It was a blind window. I went to the other window. What!” I exclaimed, as I pulled aside the curtains, “another blind window!” Such was the case. There was really no window at all in the room. Curtains and shades had been so arranged on the wall that at first glance the room appeared to have two windows. What could this mean? I was perplexed. At that moment I happened to be standing near the door. I put my hand on the knob, and tried to open it. To my consternation, the door was locked on the outside. What! Was I a prisoner? I fried the closet door. That, too, was locked. There was absolutely no way in which I could es- cape from the room. But v.hat was the meaning of it all? Why had I been made a prisoner? Did my friends distrust me? Had I done anything to make them suspect that 1 had evil intentions on their house? Did •hev think that I was a burglar in disguise? No. that could not be it. Had I any reason to distrust them? To be sure, I had known Tom very little at college, but he had always seemed all right. He had treated me like a friend and a brother. Had he any reason for wishing to keep me confined? Of course there could be no question of robbery, though, to be sure. I was wearing a ring worth several hundred dollars, as well as valuable cuff links. My watch fob, too. was an heirloom which [Continued on page 120.] THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 117 H Sailor's flmtiaticm J6 ? jfrank 1R.

It was to be my first encounter with the briny monster of the deep, and with much inward quak- ing 1 was now prepared to face the great unknown. There was an absolute calm when we left port. Hardly a ripple appeared on the water until our sharp prow cut its glistening surface. The blood- red rays of the setting sun silhouetted a last light- house, and then disappeared, leaving a fiery glow- in the heavens. Then came the darkness, and as so often happens at sundown, a fog. thick, im- penetrable with the eye. rose and embraced us in its ghosth grasp. Fearing that rough weather was to follow, I came to the conclusion that if 1 could only get to sleep, in that state of blissful uncon- sciousness I might escape the dread effects of the storm. Tucked snugly in my upper berth. I en- deavored to coax dreamland to me. and to drive away the thought of that friend, seasickness.” Oh. that fog horn! How could any one go to sleep with its hoarse, intermittent coughing not ten feet away? And then came the storm. Desperately 1 clung to the bedding to keep from landing on the floor, and always at my ear was that ugly little friend, whispering: Get sick. Get sick. Get sick. ' Suddenly that parting word of advice flashed through my mind: Keep moving.” Out into the storm I went, and started walking, or rather, trying to walk, up and down the deck. 1 will not say that that deck ever did take a perpendicular ] osition, hut ir is a fact that more than once, when I was thrown against the rail, the black, angry waters tossed directiv beneath me. It seemed hours that I journeyed from stem to stern of that boat, and then, as the fog had lifted, J again went to my hunk. Rut a new torture now assailed me. On the other side of my stateroom wall was the steer- ing engine, with its convulsive whirrings and grindings. And directly over my head ran the rat- tling and squeaking rudder chain. There could be no sleep for me there, so out on deck I went again, this time resolved to stay. From that moment dates my passion for the sea. An incxplainablc exultation seized me as 1 battled against the salt spume and fought to keep my feet. All fear left me. and I exulted in my new-born courage. I seemed even to derive a peculiar pleasure from the very howling of the w ind through the rigging. When the fog came in again. I took my post near the lookout and strived, as he. to de- tect and place the slightest moan of a fog horn, which might mean approaching death. A groan is heard. Is it ahead? To the right? To the left? Who can tell? Through that soft, yielding, ghostly-white mass we distinguish a sound, and strain our senses for its repetition. Is it nearer: Xo. the next time it calls from infinity. Rut now , did it not cry out from right under the port bow? As the wiil-o'-the-wisp. it flits about, now here, now there. To our howl of warning it answers with a hoarse, metallic roar, and then with a groan as of a dying man, so far away is it. But soon the sound becomes distinct and to the right. Lighthouse on the starb’d bow, sir.’ calls the lookout, and the pilot answers with a tinkle of the bell. Sc; on through the night we plowed through the mountains of waves, now with a blizzard raging about us, now blanketed by the fog. Grim death was abroad, and seemed to approach with each sound. ()ncc there was the sharp yapping of a hand- horn. and almost immediately a small schooner ap- peared in the mist, so near that I heard the startled veil of its helmsman, and then was gone again. A triple call sounded as if from another world. That would be a tow of coalers, probably.” the lookout informed me. In a rift of the fog a light flashed out. and we passed a lightship, and then a war ship asked our news by wireless. t about two bells a grayish light began to be noticed. 'Though the waves were still running high, the wind had died away, and gradually the mist thinned and then passed awray, and the sun shone down clear and beautiful. Seasick? I don’t know what it is.

As lie raised his eyes, lie caught sight of a picture over the bookcase. It was the picture of a choir boy who, dressed in iiis surplice, was singing his soul out through his eves rather than with his voice.

The other hoys in the choir uncon- sciously moving their lips in unison with his. How the boy had said that he was going to be a man, a strong man and wise, successful, and, above all, good and pure. The scene faded and the years passed before him. He grew and went into the world, and one by one succumbed to the tempta- tions of life until be grew wise with the worldly wisdom of men, and rich, too, but—that was all. Where were the honesty, purity, and goodness he had started with? Looking back along the road of his life, he could see them left at different points, so that he could carry something else more—more— well, more useful. The fire burned low, the room grew cold, and a half sol) and half sneer escaped front the man’s lips. It was the last crisis, the turn- ing point. He had come to the realization.

She was unable to make a path in the deep snow. “Mr. Conductor, I relieve you of your promise. Now, please come and help me.” “With pleasure.” I replied, eagerly going to her assistance. I soon made a path, and, lifting her in my arms, I carried her through the worst of the drift. “Why, aren’t you strong!” admiringly. “Railroading develops a man.” “Do you know that when you first came on my car, I did not think that you were born for a con- ductor.” “Indeed! Do you wish me to return my disr tancc?” “You may remain here, that is, if you wish.” “Gracious company is not to be rejected.” One of those charming frowns that only a beau- tiful girl can make and a long silence was all the reward I received for my compliment. But she was the first to break the silence. “Why, I think the night is growing worse every minute. I wish I was at home in the big chair in front of the warm open fireplace.” “ ‘What matter how the night behaved? What matter how the north wind raved? Blow high, blow low, not all its snow Could quench our hearth-fire’s ruddy glow,’ ” quoted I. “Why, how appropriate!” she exclaimed, you should have been a playwright. But here is my home, so I wish to express my thanks for your great service to me. I don’t really know how to thank you enough, for you have been very kind, but if there is ever anything that I could do for you to return your kindness, I should be only too glad to do it.” “Thank you, Miss,” I replied, as I rang the bell of a beautiful suburban home. “Beg pardon, Miss Williams,” began the maid as we entered, “but Mr. Watson was here, and told me to ask you to reserve Wednesday the fifteenth for him, as he desires the pleasure of your company at the ladies’ night of the Racquet Club.” Thank you, Mary; please bring tea.” “Miss Williams, a few minutes ago you stated that you would be willing to do anything for me that I desired.” Well. 1 should be glad to do something to re- turn your kindness.” “I have a confession to make. You remarked that I did not appear to have been born for a con- ductor; I was not. I am an actor, and a poor one, playing the part in which the hand of Fate has placed me. My request will surprise you, but nevertheless I am sincere. 1 desire that you de- cline the invitation just extended you, and accept my invitation to the same event.” “But, sir, you must remember, I do not know you. Come, let us partake of some of this hot tea, and try to straighten matters.” “Thank you. but I am still a conductor, and my place is with my car, so I must return immediately. I know you to be a lady, so presume you will keep your word. I will call for you at eight next THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 119 Wednesday evening. Good night.

Is it not wonderful what complex difficulties we become involved in at times, how deep in we may seem at times, and how hopeless the solution of the trouble appears? Is it not more wonderful how we will ponder and rack our brains for ways to sur- mount these obstacles, how make attempt after at- tempt to override these difficulties, only to be un- mercifully hurled back into darkness and discour- agement?

He couldn't hear if we let off a cannon, jerked out his opponent between breaths. Suddenly there was a crash at the other end of the car as the door was banged open, and in rushed a man with a lantern. What's the matter in here? I thought--------- But Johnson got no further, for his eyes told him what the matter was, and instantly he was strug- gling with the other robber, the larger oi the two. Carlton’s enemy was a strong, muscular fellow, but too slow for the young collegian, and in ten minutes Frank had him lying on the tloor of the car. and was just preparing to plant himself on his fallen enemy’s chest, when a sharp exclamation drew his attention to the other contestants. lie looked up to see Johnson fall heavily to the floor, and the larger robber make a break through the door. “Grab this fellow, Johnson!” yelled Frank. I'll catch, him.” And he was off up the long platform, chasing the fleeing robber. Slowly, but surely, he was gaining on him. Straight down the railroad track they sped. Then Frank noticed something that made him increase his speed. Xot for ahead of them in the yard was a freight train just starting up. That was the man's game; to gain the steps of the caboose, and then keep his pursuer from get- ting on the car, and thus escape him. Although the train steadily increased its speed, the tremendous spurt of the man rapidly brought him nearer. He had almost gained his object, when a train-hand appeared on the platform. Stop him! Keep him off! He's a crook!” yelled Carlton. 'Hie brakeman took him at his word, and broke the robber’s grasp on the handle, and jumped from the car to assist Frank. us courage, and we arise, make a last desperate try, scale the wall, and land safely on the other side, free and clear of the load which burdened us before? What is that great light, that inspiration, that courage which makes us invincible? Is it not the hand of Fate? Thus does Fate assist the human being! Thus docs it bring about that which a short time before is deemed impossible! So it was that, on the evening of December 15, 1 created a sensation by entering the reception hall of the aristocratic Racquet Club, escorting Miss Dorothy Williams, deemed bv all the most beau- tiful young lady for miles around. Bill Somers was upon us in an instant, blubber- ing like an excited monkey at a zoo.

Frank was more successful and evaded him, but he quickly realized that without assistance his chances of capturing the man would be small. lie fought like a demon, throwing off one man and then the other. Once, by a quick turn of the body and a terrific blow, he sent the two reeling to the ground together. Then he started off across the tracks, but the two quickly got up with him, and the light was continued. But the man's endurance was not equal to the combined strength of his ene- mies. and it was onlv a matter of moments before they iiad him subdued. Picking up a heavy stick from alongside the rail- road track, the train-hand ordered him to march back to the express office bctw-cen them. The rob- ber started to resist, but the sight of the heavy cudgel waving menacingly in the brakeman's hands made him see the uselessness of any further at- tempts. and. with a man on each side of him grasp - ing his arms, he marched quietly back toward the office. On the way they were met by three policemen, five members of the night force, who had been awakened by the running and shouting, and the night watchman. “Good! exclaimed Johnson, peering out of his half-closed eyes, “you got your man. He nearly killed mo, though.” The boss’s face was a sight; battered and pounded until he was hardly recognizable. But, like the plucky man that he was. lie held on and fought the robber until actually forced to give up. When Frank Carlton went back to Tufts he was $500 richer; for the man proved to be an old offender, long sought after by the police of several cities : so badly wanted, in fact, that a reward of $500 was offered for his capture. 120 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR TCbc Scaled Chamber (Continued from jvago 116.J would bring no small amount of money. Tom knew that I had a lot of valuable stuff in my suit cases, but he did not seem like a fellow who would lure me to his house for the purpose of robbing me. What did it mean? Was there some plot? Perhaps young Davenport, with some colleagues, was even going to murder me. They would g ‘t a good, fat sum of money by doing this, and it would ne easy enough to cover up the crime, for only Tom and a few of his friends knew anything of my whereabouts. My uncle thought 1 was in New York. 1‘nexpectcdly, however. 1 had heard that I could make a good deal in Springfield, so I had come to that city. Then I thought of Mrs. Davenport. Nonsense!

I searched again for windows. There were none. Well. thought I. Pll be armed when they come to rob and murder me.” I started to pick up the grip in which I had packed two pistols. It was not there.

The management realize this, and may produce an extra Boston perform- ance. in addition to the two matinees. These mati- nees are to he given on April 25 and 2(5 at the Co- lonial Theatre. One performance will be given at the Malden Auditorium on the evening of April 2(5. This will be the only opportunity for the outsiders interested in the Tech show, because it has become so popular that every inch of room in the Boston matinees has been taken up by the students of the institute.

Consequently, I was defenceless. Then I thought of my golf clubs. One of those might be of some assistance. As I reached for the bag. I happened to look under the bed. A cold shiver ran down my back, for two boots, sticking up as if their owner were lying flat on the floor, were visible. 1 seemed frozen to the spot. There was certainh a man under the bed. I was imprisoned, and carefully guarded bv armed men. I heard a step in the hall. Horrors! The forces were unit- ing! My last hour had come! I heard a hand turn the door knob. The door opened. What, old man! cried Tom, laughing, asleep in your chair? Phis room is like an oven with all the w indows closed. And you look as if you'd seen the ghost of Hamlet’s father. What's up? Guess the rarebit the girls made was too much for you. Say. arc you awake enough to listen to my news? It's just this: You know Ted Walbridge married Grace Barnett. Dorothy’s sister. Well, Ted and Grace are going to give a house party up in Bland- ford next week. It seems that Ted’s in Springfield Baying in provisions, I guess), and he met the boys going home from here to-night. The fellows told him you were visiting me, and so he just called up on the ’phone (it isn’t much after eleven o’clock) to ask you to join the party. Grace and Dorothy second the invitation. Better accept. Dorothy has never married, you know. She’s a mucii quieter girl than she was four years ago. I think she’s sorry for the way she treated you, and that she—Well! to tell the truth.

Enterprise shows a marked im- provement in its last number. The Usonian is one of the most neatly compiled and best arranged of any of our exchanges, while its cuts are very clever indeed. It is hard to say whether the Quarterly Tatler is the best or one of the best of our exchanges, for this reason: It is published but quarterly, and thereby gains the opportunity over the monthly magazines, inasmuch as it has that much more time in which to procure not only better material, but also to select the best. To be sure, it is a pleasure to receive such a magazine, and a relief after so many mediocre papers; but, Tatler, is not your criticism apt. on account of your superiority, to be somewhat too caustic? The December number of the Cue was some- what fuller than formerly. A new. but less attrac- tive, cover seems to have been adopted. Can’t you make more out of your paper. Re- corder (Winchester)? It is little more than a pamphlet, with barely the redeeming characteristic of quality, not quantity.” The Spectator is a well-written, compact little magazine, with plenty of good material, but the athletic girl of the last number’s cover.

During the February vacation Captain William Sliarrv called out the battery candidates, who prac- ticed every morning it) the Somerville Armory. Coach Cuddy has charge of the men, and the pros- pect is bright for a good battery. The veterans, Munroc as pitcher, and Bowlby as catcher, are a good team, and will make a fine showing. Other promising men for pitchers are Mixer, Scriven, Allen, and Cousins. For catchers, McLaughlin and Ireland arc good material. There arc several vacant positions to be filled this spring, and let all who have any idea of baseball come out and see what they’re good for. William Henderson is out for first base, and William Walsh for fielder’s posi- tion. Many good players have gone, but there are a few left who can be just as good with a little extra effort. The wearers of the Red and Blue are about to start on the diamond. Above everything else, the boys will need support. Let everybody start the season well by attending the first game with Tech, ’0S at Broadway field. It is an easy matter to boast of a winning team, but it is a different matter to remain loyal to your team under adverse cir- cumstances. We regret that owing to illness, Xat Rice, who last spring was elected manager of the 1907 base- ball team, has been forced to resign.

If you follow this rule you will soon turn to simple, wholesome foods, eating less meat than before, but getting more good from what you eat. Your favorite foods will be brown bread, fresh butter, milk and cream, eggs, cereals, fruits, etc. Take tea and coffee if they agree with you; if not try milk and cocoa. Ninety per cent of our physical and mental sickness comes from the stomach, and is caused by bolting heavy, indigestible foods. No one is so irritable as a dyspeptic, and the ills induced by unwise eating make us disagreeable to our friends and militate against our prosperity and happiness. If you have been eating rich foods, make a trial of GRIDLEY’S restaurants, and finan- cially and physically benefit yourself by eating pure, perfectly prepared foods at low prices. The man or woman who eats sensibly and properly is taking the first step towards cleanness of body and mind and the establishing of a firm moral tone. Young men and women, living away from home, are advised to engage a room, and enjoy the freedom and convenience of getting their meals at GRIDLEY'S at all hours instead of enduring the poor cooking and restrictions of the boarding house table.

SANBORN, ’10 32 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR The question is often asked why more High School graduates do not meet with success, it being quite generally understood that young men gradu- ating from high schools are exceedingly well fitted to engage in life’s struggle, and one of the many causes given in answer to the question is, The cigarette habit.” For the benefit of the few of our readers who are addicted to the habit, we quote a recently-edited treatise on health :— It a boy is quite determined to accomplish self- destruction by a slow but sure route, there are sev- eral ways open. There is the alcohol route, or the cocaine route, morphine, or the arsenic route, or cigarette smoking. Any of these may be guaran- teed to afford the young aspirant for perdition a maximum of physical suffering and disgrace in this life, to say nothing of eternal punishment through enfeebling the will, blunting the moral sense, and the general lowering of the whole spiritual tone. Like alcoholism, the cigarette vice must beat the odium of much related evil. The loss of true manliness and self-respect lead inevitably to loafing, profanity, lying, stealing, and kindred crimes: while the extreme nervous irritability prepares the way for deeds of violence.” This vice, although existing to a very limited ex- tent in high schools, has become so widespread amongst collegians and young men in business that a war of the most determined nature is being waged upon it. and all who are interested in the advancement of the youth of to-day are fervently praying for its suppression. r � . r. The English School cannot but feel extreme sat- isfaction in the work of the Debating Club, not merely in the excellence of its public work, which is certainly most creditable for a first effort of the kind with inexperience matched against experience, but in the fact that for the first time in the history of the school a group of pupils have found time, in spite of heavy programmes, to continue the study and practice of the debate, and have persevered till a goodly degree of proficiency in the art is theirs. Debating clubs have been organized many times in the past, but all of them have, until the present club was organized, invariably died out because of lack of interest. For instruction, training, and encouragement the club is deeply indebted to its leading faculty mem- ber. Miss Helen Tcclc, of the department of mathe- matics and Latin. K K Current reports concerning a scarcity of college graduates in scientific branches dispels the pre- dominating illusion that this field is overcrowded. Two of the largest of Southern railroads have taken the stand of hiring none but college men to over- see the work of construction, and it is the general belief that this action is a step toward that goal for which all railroads are striving, i. e., rapid transit with complete safety. a? Vi r. Howard W. Poor, sub-master of the English School, is again offering the opportunity to High School pupils to accompany him on his trip to Washington and vicinity. An additional attraction this year is the Jamestown Exposition, where Mr. Poor intends to spend three days in sightseeing. The party will be in Washington two days, and the remainder of the time is to be utilized in excursions to Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, and Fort- ress Monroe. « ft « The baseball season has opened, and three vic- tories are already recorded in the Somerville High School score book. Keep on with the good work. « The Radiator staff extends its sincere sympathy to Mr. Avery in his recent bereavement. THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 133 B flIMfcmgbt Disitor 31'v Chester X. jf ester, £., ’07 MR train had left Chicago just as the first few flakes were gently falling to spread their white blanket over Mother Earth. Seated in the for- ward Pullman of the Sunset Express was a young man about twenty years old, a tall, clean-shaven, well-built young fellow with whom, up t the present time, the world had always dealt kindly. The only son of a wealthy family of New York, he had, after leaving college, assumed the position of drummer for his father’s jewelry house. Austin Hardy had had the experience of only three months when we first meet him seated in the Sunset Express to Denver to execute an important commission for his father. Many of the firm’s drummers being abroad, he was detailed to secure tlie trade of the leading firm of jewelers of Denver, Colo. T!ie trade, if received, would mean thou- sands of dollars for Hardy Co. The time dragged slowly, and the outside world offered little of interest, only the steady flutter of ever-thickening snowflakes. The train, always slackening its speed, dragged slowly onward,—tin- powerful engines striving to surmount the innum- erable difficulties which the wind and snow pre- sented. Out in the engine cab the engineer, striving vainly to pierce the snow-laden air, could vaguely see only the pilot of his own engine as it plunged onward through the white expanse of snow. From out the gloom ahead the faint, deep roar of the Northern Express, as it neared the crossing of Compton, reached the ears of the passengers. The Northern and the Sunset Express crossed at Comp- ton, the one going south, the other west, with two hours between them. The Sunset Express, three hours late, with strain- ing engines, burst into view of the waiting passen- gers at Compton just as the dull roar of a whistle and a gleaming streak of black shot down from the north. 'I'hc mighty engines met broadside, one square across the other. As the uninjured passengers struggled forth from the ruined coaches, they might have noticed the monster engine of the Northern Express lying on its side a shattered wreck, a hundred feet from the small station. « The little town of Compton boasted one little hotel. “The Red Fox Inn.” and toward this haven of refuge the snow-covered passengers wended their way. The little Inn must hold them all. but how? That question Austin Hardy was striving to answer as he hurried along. There were few passengers on the trains he knew, but that there would be a grand scramble for rooms and supper he was well aware. He pushed open the storm doors and entered the cheerful warmth and light of the Red Fox bar-room, now nearly deserted. Approaching the clerk, he secured a small room for the night, and hearing the arrival of the remainder of the crowd, hurried to place his grip and baggage in Ins room, returning just in time to see the entrance of the first few of the snow- covered travelers. Phe bar-room loungers had now returned, snow and cold offered no attraction for them, and Austin, knowing well the character of the little town in which fate had now stranded him. surveyed them with interest not unmixed with dismay. Austin well knew that the goods he carried were of great value, and the rough company in which he now found himself, together with his inexperience, caused him great anxiety. In a crowd such as was now entering, the un- scrupulous members might reap a rich harvest with ease, and it was to relieve his anxiety that he had secured a room to himself. Upon inquiry. Austin found that a train would leave the next morning at s.:?o, provided the tracks could be restored and the wreckage cleared up. Soon after, he retired to his room, and placing his grip containing his valuables beneath his pillow, and laying his revolver (which he carried because of the sense of security it gave him) upon the chair by his bed, securely locking the doors and windows, he turned out the lights and went to bed. Sleep was slow in coining, as it usu- ally is in a new place, and it was long after the bois- terous revelry from below had ceased ere sleep came to his tired eyes. All was silent save for the roaring storm without; no other sound pierced the quiet of the room. Suddenly he was wide awake. He remembered no sound, only the sudden fright that comes to a tired, and nervous mind in the dead of night had waked him. Some one was in the room! Of that lie was sure. Hut there was no sound, no stealthy tread, no flash of a dark lantern, no stern command of Hands up!” Nothing? Hark! No! I , was all still, deathly still; even the storm seemed to have stopped its fury for a moment, and instantly there came to his sensitive car the soft swish of the bed clothes and a gentle “pat, pat” of feet. Cold with fear and apprehension, Austin reached for the revolver,—it was gone! With a great fear tugging at his heart, he noticed the closet door of his room open a little way and then gently close! Still not a sound of any great volume. Un- able longer to stand the strain, he jumped quickly up, and slamming the door shut, he turned the key. Not a sound came forth from the imprisoned burg- lar! Lighting the gas jet. Austin quickly explored the room by its dim light, and found the jewelry in- tact, his revolver on the floor where it had fallen. [ Continued on page US.] «34 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR B daughter of tbe IXHoobe 313y? ADarion jf. Jfoster, X., ’OS ITTLE Selina helped pass the buck- wheat cakes to the lumbermen. They were Julie’s best, and the men were very hungry, after a hard day’s work in the wood region near Silver Lake. The logs had been dragged through the logging roads to the skidways on the shores of the lake. Yes,” said Long Jim. that outlet from Silver Lake to Rig Bear River is a short cut. and mighty handy. By the way. do you know the story of that outlet? 11. a good many years ago, they say a feller can.c out from the south shore country, and. while he was passing through these parts, found that lake. You know the silvery sand in the bot- tom locks like real silver. The poor fool thought it was, and began to work on that outlet, thinking he could drain out the lake. After he’d worked some time, he get tired of his job and left it. and there ’tis now. Thus they talked until late in the evening, when, wearv, they threw themselves on their rough bunks. Selina had spent all the ten years of her life either within the great forest or on the outskirts in Xew France, where a colony of French people had settled in Eastern Canada. She loved all the features of this wilderness, and could follow a trail as well as anv woodsman. Monde Staline, her father, was a born woodsman, who had always earned Ins living by hunting, trapping, or serving as a guide. This season, however, he was working with the lumbermen, for whom his wife Julie was cook. Selina, their only child, had always been the sunshine and comfort of their lives. It had been an exceptionally fine morning with- out, but towards afternoon the snow had begun to fall, and continued until midnight. Then the moon crept out from behind the clouds, and. shining through, the trees, gleamed on the white snow. A soft pit-pat of feet could be heard approaching; then the head of a great moose appeared. He gazed silently for a moment in the direction of the camp; then, turning, he went off into the forest. Squire John Illslev sat by a roaring fire in his spacious library. His newspaper had fallen from his hand, and he was gazing listlessly into the fire. As he watched the burning wood, he saw pictured among the flames the sweet face of a little child, the face of his little ten-year-old daughter who had died two years before. Since her death he had been sad and despondent, and nothing seemed worth while. Mother. he called abruptly to his wife, who came to his side. Bill wants me to join him on a moose hunt this year. He starts to- morrow morning. You know I haven't been into the woods since—well, you know I couldn’t bear to, but this year I think I'll try it.” Do, John,” she said, I think it will do you good, and may you bring home a prize.” If I do,” he said, “it shall be yours.” They were ready for the hunt. It was early morning, and, accompanied by their guide, they started for a long drive to the woods, then followed him through a long trail, and finally made camp. Towards sunset they found tracks and followed them until it was too dark to see, when they re- turned to camp tired, but not disheartened. Early the next morning they set out again to follow the tracks they had discovered the night be- iore. which meant a long and weary journey through scrub growth and underbrush. At last, in the distance, they saw a large moose, but the wind was unfavorable, tor lie scented his enemies. Nothing daunted, they began a wild chase, and kept it up for some distance. Finally the animal, ex- hausted l v the long run. and weakened by the sev- eral shots they had fired at him, stood out in the open, in good range of shot. They fired. For a moment the noble beast stood shaking his head, looking silently and reproachfully at them, but at the squire’s next shot he fell. They then cut a trail through the woods to a logging road near bv, and along this dragged the carcass. On reaching the logging road, they saw smoke coming from the chimney of an old shanty not far off. They de- cided to seek the hospitality of the inmates, for they were tired and hungry. Julie and Selina welcomed the strangers. It was the dinner hour, and about time for the gang to re- turn. Julie gave the guests some food, and. rough though it was. it tasted good to them. Selina en- tertained them with stories of Silver Lake and dif- ferent wood pets she had tamed. Soon she heard Monde's whistle in the distance, and ran to meet him. What a charming little daughter you have!” said Mr. Illslev. It is very strange, but she greatly resembles our little girl whom we lost,” and the squire’s eyes filled with tears. Then an idea came to him. It was late in the evening. The next day Mr. Illslev was expected. We must decide to-night,” Monde had said: we have been struggling with ourselves every night during these three weeks, and now this is the last chance. Julie, and we must make up our minds.” They were sitting in one end of il,e shanty. A lantern glimmered dimly near them. All the world seemed sleeping except these two and a solitary loon on the lake, who repeated again and again his weird call, sometimes answered by the hoots of an owl. This man has no right to her,” said Julie; I will not give her up. We must tell Mr. Illslev no. He is a kind gentleman, and I felt sorry for him. and of course lie said that he would never let Selina forget us. and would bring her to us often, and that he would only take her to have her get her learning. Then she could come to us again, but it does seem hard, Monde, you know it does.” THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOk 135 Yes, Julie, it seems too much to give up, but we must think of her. 1 was thinking of what Mr. I Sisley said. He told us that God had given her to us. and it is our duty to do what is best for her. and bring her up to he the kind of woman that the world needs. Tis true. Julie, that she doesn't have much chance here. There is no school, and we ain't much on books, you know Think what Mr. Illsley could do for her! I wonder if we ain't sel- fish. Julie, not to let her go. Julie sat silent for a few moments. Then, rising, with a determined look on her face, said: Monde, you have shown me what God wishes 11s to do. It is hard, but for her good. We will tell Mr. Illsley, yes. The struggle was over. The lantern flickered uit. The loon continued his calls, until finally a golden splendor began to shine in the east telling of the approach of a new day. The next evening the lumbermen were more silent than usual. Jests seemed out of place some- how. They were lonesome, for the light of the camp had gone. The forest was still. Another moonlight night, and the same deep shadows and white snow. Another pit-pat of feet. It was the cow moose, whose mate had been killed. A low call, but no re- sponse. The cow moose was lonesome that night, too. %a (tompafcour's jfan J6 : IDarflaret 10. Greenwood, X.f 'OS VAS up in the attic I found it. locked in an oaken chest. The fan that had once belonged to Madame I-a Pom- padour. and that had played such an important part on the evening of Louis the XV.'s ball, when La Pom- padour had flaunted it boldly in the faces of the court ladies as she glided to and fro through the marble corridors of the king's palace. For years it had lain nestling among the musk-scented silken folds of a beautiful gown of olden days. As I gently pushed aside the shimmering fabric to catch a better glimpse of my treasure, a perfume was wafted upward like incense. It enwreathed me with a cloud of lavender and rose. I lifted the fan from the chest and took it in my hands. Then I spread the delicate trifle open wide on the top of the chest, that I might admire its exquisite work- manship to my heart's desire. Thereupon, a vision of beauty presented itself to me. On a background of palest pink, a shower of pearls lay scattered in picturesque confusion, while the most striking ornamentation of all was a figure near the centre. It was in the semblance of a maiden, dressed in the costume of two centuries ago. She was magnifi- cently clad in a gown of flowered silk. Here and there a suggestion of some rich old lace fell in soft clusters on her snowy bosom, or half concealed the pretty arms. .About her swan-like throat was clasped a necklace of tiny diamonds. The massive raven hair was caught and held in bondage by a tiara of diminutive diamonds, although occasionally a stray lock escaped, only to curl lovingly about the slender neck. Her face was loveliness itself. Its greatest charm lay in the depths of her blue eyes, eyes with myriad lights darling through them. What a world of suggestion lay in those fathomless eyes' As I mused on this dream of sweetness, I thought I heard a tiny rustle. It seemed a mere breath, and I deemed my imagination had deceived me until a second time I heard it. though ever so faint. I scrutinized the little fan-maiden, and imagine my surprise when I perceived her to move! Yes, I saw a diminutive foot encased in a dainty satin slip- per embroidered with pearls peep timidly forth from beneath the flowered gown. She took, a step for- ward. thus bringing into prominence a second ex- quisitely shod foot. In wonder I watched the elfin figure as it advanced, until it stood upright on the oaken chest, a fairv-like creation, barely four inches tall. Then I well might have imagined myself in Lilliput. I watched her as she paced up and down on the polished surface of the lid. Suddenly a sweet little voice broke the silence, as she mur- mured : Truly he loved her. Ah. how beautiful was the scene that night! How the lights and jewels glimmered and sparkled in that hall of rev- elry! And La Pompadour! She was the fairest of the fair. She was the sun. whereunto all the other stately dames and court beauties were as but moons. 'Twas on that night the king first saw her. Again, if I mistake not, ’twas on that night his heart first burned with love unspeakable for my peerless mistress. She ceased. I listened with hated breath to catch, perchance, another word con- cerning tin: memorable evening. For I was en- chanted by this whisper wafted through the ages to me from the ballroom of Louis the XV. It was in vain. The silvery voice was stilled for- ever. When I next looked toward the little figure I started. She had vanished as by the stroke of a fairv wand. The fan lay outspread on the chest as I had placed it. The little face with its glowing azure eyes peered at me from the background as of old. Tenderly I folded the fan, for it was cruel of me to drag to daylight this ghost of a vanished past Then I replaced it in its oaken chamber amid the flowered gowns and perfumes, to dream among their bygone graces of the wonderful days that were. And as I gazed fondly for the last time on this relic of other days, I sighed as I thought:— “Where are the secrets you knew, Weavings of plot and of plan? Where is La Pompadour, too? You were La Pompadour's fan.” THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 136 XUbc IHerotem of IRuesell llboore 3B ) Bnna jf. Sones, JE., ’07 XE evening in the winter of 1898 a crowd were assembled around the stove in the little station of Charlton; there is always a crowd in a country station at train time, and on this evening a larger number than usual had conic together. The east-bound train, heavily laden with pas- sengers. had just left: the few remaining seemed to be unusually happy, but why no one could tell: perhaps because it was dismal outside. Owing to a dense fog that had settled down, the little lamp in the ticket and telegraph office shed but a feeble light. The telegraph instrument ticked merrily on, sending its messages. The operator. Harry Truesdell, now and then glanced up from his work and addressed the group. “Here’s something. he remarked. The manager is coming west. 11 is train will pass through here about 9.30.” Is that so? said Bob Taft, one of the listeners. “What engine is pulling it? “No. 38.” “Isn’t that the engine father ttsed to run? asked Russell Moore, a dark-haired boy of sixteen. Right you are, lad. replied Bob. Your father made a mighty good engineer. Albert .Moore was as brave and true-hearted a man as ever I saw. He used to run on all the specials until he was killed in that accident a few years ago. By the way, Russell, what are you doing now?” “Well. 1 do whatever 1 can. Of course, you know. I can’t earn what father did; by a few odd jobs around here I make a little and manage to get the necessities of life for mother and myself. I wish I could get something better to do. There’s that mortgage on our house, and no possibility of paying it. I can't bear to see mother worry so. Since father died times have been pretty hard with us.” At this moment the telegraph instrument ticked furiously. 'J'he operator turned his attention to it. Soon he lifted Ids head. His face was full of horror. A runaway train is dashing toward the special! he cried excitedly. What can be done? What shall be done?” There was a pause. All evidently understood the horror of the situation. Then the boy. Russell, spoke up. If it is a pos- sible thing, I will climb in the engine of the run- away train and try to reach the switch at the Way- ville station.” “Bov. you don’t know what you arc thinking of.” shouted Harry Truesdell. “Why, it means death. You’ll run into the passenger train and die in the collision. You must not do it. I’m going to try, anyway. I have watched my father many a time run the engine. Just think how many lives w ill be lost if there is no attempt made to save them! As for mother. God bless her! If I come out all right, don’t ever let her know what 1 did. Promise—quick! For the bov already heard a roaring sound in the distance He rushed out on the platform. On ac- count of the fog. Russell could see nothing at first, but he heard a thundering up the track. Nearer and nearer it came! He could sec the engine now coming towards him. The up-grade would slacken the speed a little. Just as it was passing, he grasped a handle and swung himself up. His face was deathly white, and perspiration started from everv pore. The engine was now going at a fast rate, but Russell saw that more speed was necessary, and he must get up more steam. The supply of steam was soon increased, so that the engine was going at a frightful speed. But. hark! What was that? Could lie hear a train coming? He peered out into the fog, but could sec nothing. It must be the special. God grant he might yet reach the switch! Louder and louder the sound grew. Nearer and nearer came the approaching train. In three min- utes more his train reached the switch and passed just as the manager’s train dashed by. 'Hiank God, they are saved!” So saying. Russell sank back. But he could not rest long. He must lessen the speed. Russell did his best, and in a few minutes saw the fast rate re- laxing. At last, just as he reached the Riverside station, the train came to a standstill. Russell’s appearance here was greeted with wonder and astonishment. In a few words the boy told his story. Meanwhile the special rolled on towards Charl- ton with its freight of human souls, not one of them dreaming of the danger escaped. When the train reached there it was signaled to stop, and there Mr. Wilson was told of Russell’s brave deed. Telegrams were sent to the different places where it was thought the boy might have stopped, with orders to send him back on the first train to Charlton. In due time Russell arrived. When he stepped on to the platform he was greeted with cheers from a hundred throats. Many had been told of the heroic act. and nearly all the populace of Charlton were there to meet him. Russell shyly tried to hurry out of sight, but was quickly captured and brought before the manager. Taking his hand, Mr. Wilson said: My boy. you have done a noble and heroic deed. Hundreds of lives and thousands of dollars have been saved. You have our eternal gratitude. Please accept this THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR •37 ; s a small return.” So saying, he placed a well- filled purse in Russell’s hand. Then, turning to his assistant, Mr. W ilson con- tinued: January 1, 1M� 9, Russell begins his duties as messenger in my office. His salary begins to- day.” Cheer upon cheer rent the air. Rut Russell could not speak. Ilis heart was too full, lie was thinking: Now, my dear mother, we will have no cause for worry, for the mortgage will be paid.” B nUtsun erstanfcmg J6 ? Scan TPQUtberell, X.t ’OS T is hard to explain the actions of some people, and the attempted explana- tions are often so very confusing as to cause serious trouble, or at least perplexing situations. Aunt Priscilla little thought,'as she started home, after spending the afternoon with her sister, how quickly the two-mile walk would be ac- complished on account of her trying to explain the actions of a stranger, who was in turn trying to un- ravel the mystery of her movements. In spite of her sixty odd years. Aunt Priscilla al- ways walked where it was possible. It was verg- ing on twilight when she started. It was dusk when she completed the first mile. Her timid soul saw highwaymen in every shadow, although there was hardly enough of a suggestion of concealed wealth about the plain, prim, little lady to attract robbery. She cast quick glances in ail directions. Hearing a sudden sound, she would start quickly forward, only to slow down as sud- denly, as she warily skirted a clump of bushes. She was in a quiet part of the town, where the houses were placed back from the streets, with plenty of space between them. As it was about supper time, the street was almost deserted. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. By a quick glance over her shoulder, she discerned the form of a man of large proportions. She walked quickly on. and turned a sharp corner. The man followed. She left the sidewalk and took to the street. The man did the same. A hasty backward glance showed him not far behind and coming straight towards her Then she ran. And he ran. What a race it was! Over fences, through yards, across lots they went. Once they burst straight through a hedge, and another time Aunt Priscilla left her cherished cashmere shawi adorning a barbed-wire fence. But she didn’t care: for the next yard was her own. She looked back, but saw no trace of her pur- suer. She scaled the last fence, unlocked her door.—how she was never afterwards able to tell,— locked it again on the inside, piled what furniture she was able to move against it. and then sank down on the sofa, a panting, exhausted heap. No lamps were lighted that night, but a single candle showed the way to bed. The next day Aunt Priscilla was forced to go to the washerwoman’s to see al out some work. As she was leaving, the old ladv inquired about Mrs. Flaherty's brother, who had been trying to obtain a position on the police force. Oh. he got the job, all right,” the hostess heartily responded, “and say,” she went on, he nearly won his stripes last night.” Indeed!” said Aunt Priscilla with polite in- terest. Yes, he almost got that crazy woman that es- caped from the insane asylum last week. The police were all on the watch for her, and Terry saw her and chased her. but she got away.” At the word chase” the caller pricked up her ears. Where was slier” she asked in a tense tone of voice. Down on Pleasant street.” Aunt Priscilla’s worst fears were now confirmed. lie was going along with his eye out for ‘Crazy Sal,’ as the boys had named her, when he saw tins woman a little distance ahead of him, and he knew he had her.” Humph! Did he?” sniffed the listener to her- self. but she merely asked: “What made him so sure?” Why, the woman was acting awful queer, star- ing all around and eyeing everybody she saw. and running and then slowing down. I le followed her, and finally she saw him. Then In began to chase her. and say. couldn’t she run ! No one but a crazy woman could have run as she did. Just as Terry was about beat out and ready to give up. he came to her shawl, that she had left on a fence. I le gave it to me. Wait and 1 will show it to you.” As she brought the shawl, which Aunt Priscilla quickly recognized, she finished : “ This is all he did get of the woman, though, for she disappeared while he was getting it. This looks some like one you wear,” she remarked, holding the article up to the light. “You ain’t got yours on tins morning, have you?” “No.” replied the visitor, edging nervously toward the door, er—I—er didn’t wear it to-day. I must go now. 1 should have been at my baking long ago.” As she hurried home, she resolved that another time she, like Rosalind, would at least let her timid heart be covered by a brave exterior. 138 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR ZUbe IDaunteb ‘(Douse J!$ ? Zillfan Sobnquest, E.,’10 ST summer two young girls were visiting an aunt who lived in an his- toric little town on the outskirts of Boston. The oldest. Helene Sher- man. was tall, slender, and fair-haired, while her friend was small, with brown hair, laughing brown eves, and a rosy com- plexion— a regular “nut-brown maid. They spent most of the time tramping about the town, visiting every place of interest from the historic old church to the ancient graveyard. One morning they heard of an old house, about a mile out of town, which was said to be haunted. They were eager to see the place at once, so with their aunt's permission they asked the coachman to drive them over that afternoon. This coachman—or more truly the man-of-all- work—was young, and thought he knew every tale, true or untrue, connected with the town: thereforej he was only too glad of the opportunity to exhibit his knowledge before the young ladies. On the way over he told them the story of the house, and if it was exaggerated a little now and then, who can blame the young story-teller? He was simply striving to entertain. The story was of an old miser who had lived a secluded life, pouring over his treasures in greedy delight and guarding them shrewdly. Finally,” said Joe, for that was the coa oh man's name, robbers heard of all his wealth. So one night in July they sneaked in at the back door, murdered the old man and ran off with as much of the chink as they could pocket. Ever since then on the night the miser was murdered his ghost comes and prowls around that back door at mid- night. It is always wringing its hands and moan- ing horribly. As the town clock strikes twelve a rattling of chains is heard that means that the old fellow is about to appear. Bv the wav,” he added, to-night is the very night the ghost should be seen, and if you girls don't believe my story you’d better come over and see for yourselves. But here’s the shanty,” said he, pointing toward his left. The girls turned and there indeed stood the for- midable looking house. It was a sadly neglected old place, windows shat- tered. the hideous brown paint pealing off in hand- fuls. and its gabled, moss-grown roof looking as if it might crash in without a moment’s warning. Loftv pine trees crowded around the old house, while a few rods behind it a great ridge rose up in stately terraces surmounted by a dense forest which cast a gloom over the whole place, lending it an air of mystery that even the tumbled-down fence re- flected. The girls gazed at it with interest, but when asked what they thought of it. Frances replied with a toss of her head: Oh. it docs very well for a story. Joe. but as for ghosts—well, I never did be- lieve in them.” However, something was evidently going on in her mind, for all the way home she was suspiciously silent, a thing unusual for her. Joe wondered if she was thinking of the bit of advice he had given to them not long before, and he laughed to himself. Shortly after eleven that night two silent figures, shoes in their hands, crept cautiously down the stairs that would creak persistently, in spite of all efforts to prevent it. Finally, the garden was safely reached without rousing any one but the sleepy cat, who shot malicious sparks from its gleaming eyes at the intruders for breaking in upon her exciting dreams of catching mice. Once in the garden the shoes were drawn ner- vouslv on. and the still, silent figures moved rap- idlv awav in the direction of the haunted house. As they entered the rickety gate and stole across the grass to the side of the house a sudden flash of heat-lightning, for an instant, lighted up the scene in a ghostly fashion. How lonely it looked! N’o steady gleam of electric arc brightened the awful gloom of the place; nor did any sound of the hus- tle and bustle of city life remind the trembling girls that any human life was near. Only the blackness and silence of the night was lxffore, behind, and all about them. Oh. Helene.” whispered Frances in a scared voice, this stillness is fearful, why don’t you say something?” But Helene made no response, and poor Frances was frightened at her own voice, it sounded so distant and unnatural. Every moment seemed an eternity, and as they dragged slowly on they seemed to take the girls’ courage with them till there was hardly a spark of it left. Cold shivers crept down their spines, even though the air was hot and sultry. They clung to each other trembling, feeling as if they must scream, vet scarcely daring to breathe for fear of that awful something that seemed closed in about them. The occasional vivid streaks of light that flashed across the sky revealed the house in all its gloom, hiding—they did not know what—behind its dreadful walls. Helene. whispered Frances again. 1 think I shall die of fright just thinking of that old ghost— what will I do if it really co------”! There she stopped with a gasp, for suddenly the sound of the town clock rang out on the still air with an alarm- ing clang! The girls caught their breath and held ii. while the clock tolled out the hour of midnight. As the last echo died away a sudden rattling of chains sounded close behind them! With an ex- clamation of fear they turned, but saw’ nothing. Again tliev heard it, louder and more distinct this lime. 'Then with a sharp cry they turned and tied across the vard. As thev rounded the corner of the THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 139 house a sound like that of a low moan came to them. Shuddering, they increased their speed and hardly stopped until they were locked safely in their own room. There they dropped helplessly on the bed. too exhausted to even move or speak. The next morning they told the story with great excitement to an interested group of young people in front of the post-office. As Frances stopped a moment for breath a little bov asked. Hut did you see the ghosts? I was just going to tell about that, interrupted Frances. Just as we reached the side of the house the lightning lighted up the back yard for a minute and I'm sure 1 saw something white there! As she said this in a dramatic voice, an old farmer who had been listening with a quizzical smile on his face, stepped up to her and drawled out. Thet was a queer coincidence, wasn't it. 'specially scein' as how the ghost must have made some mistake. You see, lie went on, that old miser was murdered in mv house, next door—but I s'pose the ghost just got the wrong house—thet’s all—that is. he added with a grin—“if you're sure you saw it. After a moment’s silence lie questioned, You say you heard chains rattling? As they nodded their as- sent he continued. Oh. well, last night ‘twas so hot that I chained old Molly—my cow—out there near the house, and it was mos' likely her chains vou heard. And next time. lie added with a shake of his head, “you’d better be sure you've got the real haunted house before yer work yourselves into such a fright thet you're sure you see ghosts. So saving, he turned from the two rather be- wildered and speechless girls, and shuffled away chuckling softly to himself. B IDesert ZUracjebv JSv 1R. jf. TTucfter, X., '07 I.

The dance was attended by forty couples, who danced under the red lights until a late hour. The delightful music was rendered by Currier's or- chestra. The matrons were Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Ricker. The club members, Mrs. Waldo Ricker, Flor- ence Douglas. Margaret Russell, Ruth Derby, Agnes 1. -th. and Marguctite Nichols, were easily distinguished by the club colors, red and white, which they wore.

Also in “Janet,” “Come O’er the Sea,” and “My Word, Isn't That Absurd?” To this last number many encores were given and several verses were dedicated to the football team, Mr. Baxter, the Latin School, and Walter McIntosh. In The Jumbo Cantepic” both Mr. Wyckoff and MacCurdy gave solos and made a good show- ing. The Mandolin Club rendered “Around the Rez” and “The Massachusetts Volunteers’’ in a pleasing manner. Mr. Gale, who read at the concert last year, again proved a favorite with his humorous read- ings and pantomimes. The Glee Club was led by J. R. Wyckoff, the Mandolin Club by E. A. Knowlton. B. L.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR M3 Athletics Baseball ©utlooh Outdoor baseball practice for the Somerville high school started last week Wednesday on the city field, Broadway, with eighty candidates reporting. Since then outdoor practice has continued every dav and considerable progress lias been made. From last year's team there remains first William Sham, who has been elected captain. He covers second base, and is a good player and a good bat- ter. Lawrence Bowlbv, catcher, is also a good bat- ter and a fine thrower. M unroe. a pitcher from last year, is one of whom much is expected this summer. John McLaughlin, a sub-catcher last year, is this year trying for the infield. Allan Hooper, a sub-outfielder, this season should make one of the regular positions. Of the new men. Mixer, a pitcher, is doing fine work and may land a position in the outfield when not pitching on account of his strong batting.

Division 2, against co-education, won by decision of the judges, but a vote of the audience showed the senti- ment of the class was for co-education. The de- baters were: Division 1. Leonard.

It is now useless to think that the Seniors will ever get over their childlike games. Now that the dogs have been relieved of their muzzles, they might be used to a good advantage on Division 3. The baseball team is well represented by our class. Captain Sharry, Hooper, Wiley, Mahoney, and Allen survived the last cut.

Class Editor. April is here with the usual appearance of lambs, chickens, and fool. A very appropriate combina- tion. Several persons perceiving a new cent placed be- tween the two schools April 1 tried to pick it up. The fact that it did not come was not due either to LcPage’s glue or the hook. Hints to those who would like a position where they can get a good raise often : Apply for position as elevator boy: apply for work in a jxnvder fac- tory. also as a baker, where you will be sure to raise the dough. W e hear that several pairs of rubbers were acci- dentally carried off by the wrong people. Is there anvone with a rubber conscience? ? We keep hearing about mixing up Snow with something. Now, don't bother him, for he is al- ready mixed up enough. Sm—th remarked in Physiology that a man un- der the influence of liquor could play the cornet better than usual. Probably that is due to the strong breath. Ba—er. imbibing some of the invigorating spring air, gave a lusty crow in history at a recent date.

Remarkable climate in this school where a Rose will bloom all winter. The girls still gather about the fountain and the looking-glass.

It has been remarked by some unkind persons that they will now have to get used to this column all over again. If it were not for Earle, we would be likely to forget Dr. Schliemann—a consummation devoutly to be wished. Ekscrg—n is to be heard daily in Room 18 in his (in) famous translations of German. But twenty three cents has been received by the treasurer of the Ridd—11-Ekscrg—n Haircut Fund.

'OS lias lost another bright fellow; Warner Thorndike has left school on account of poor health. Let us hope that he may rejoin us later. ’10 A. F. Handley, Class Editor. Now that spring is here, two gardeners (Gard- ners) may be had at Room 10. It has been noticed by several that the Tech” divisions have been diminishing. Why is it. boys? Bill” F—e—d has a new green bag in which he carries a great deal of knowledge. Remember this knowledge stays in the bag. The end of the school year is coming. Now is the time to make up your work (if you can). Ahern thinks already that lie could make a monu- ment (if he had clay enough). Good excuse, isn’t it? Some of the Tech” boys say they are going to drop the hard” course next year. Don’t lose all your courage yet. Who says that the class docs not support its offi- cers? Especially the editor.

We have just found out why Higgins is taking German. Ask him. Wilbur has just been initiated into the S. O. R. Club. He is at home suffering with brain-storms. We think Miss R--------d ought to practice ball playing before she attempts to play with fruit. I’ai—e’s neckties are all the rage among the girls.

From the appearance of '1'—lier’s desk, it would seem as though he were running a paper mill. We notice that R------d has been bringing to school a portable watering cart. Some members of the fifth division have had their attention called to its contents, to their sorrow. Miss J5r---e is a privileged character. All the rest have to sit in stationary scats Who is that big boy at your house. Miss I —ter. who is three times as large as any of your class- mates?

Teacher (in algebra): “If you' are fifteen years old now. how many times fifteen will you be in thirty years?” Rrilliant W—lard : Thirty times.” Miss Litch—d is a constant visitor on the second floor.

Who is tak- ing physiology? Gr—si’s new stockings may well compete in bril- liancy with the cover of last month's Radiator. The mice of Room 32 are getting scarce. Cause —fright of the lion-hearted McK------n. Each member of the class scents to think his room the hottest. Our class president should be unlucky, if any one. He sits in seat number 23, there are twenty- three members in his division, and he crosses the t” in his name. Did any one ever see a speck of dirt on II—de's glasses? i ; First You Must Learn How to Eat Next in Importance Is What to Eat Eat anything your appetite craves, remembering to thoroughly chew every mouthful. If you follow this rule you will soon turn to simple, wholesome foods, eating less meat than before, but getting more good from what you eat. Your favorite foods will be brown bread, fresh butter, milk and cream, eggs, cereals, fruits, etc. Take tea and coffee if they agree with you; if not try milk and cocoa. Ninety per cent of our physical and mental sickness comes from the stomach, and is caused by bolting heavy, indigestible foods. No one is so irritable as a dyspeptic, and the ills induced by unwise eating make us disagreeable to our friends and militate against our prosperity and happiness. If you have been eating rich foods, make a trial of GRIDLEY’S restaurants, and finan- cially and physically benefit yourself by eating pure, perfectly prepared foods at low prices. The man or woman who eats sensibly and properly is taking the first step towards cleanness of body and mind and the establishing of a firm moral tone. Young men and women, living away from home, are advised to engage a room, and enjoy the freedom and convenience of getting their meals at 6RIDLEVS at all hours instead of enduring the poor cooking and restrictions of the hoarding house table.

Then, opening the room door, he called lustily for the landlord and clerk of the hotel, for he doubted not the desperate character of his prisoner. Soon the patter of footsteps became louder and louder, until his room was filled with curious people, to whom lie was kept busy explaining the commotion. His information was received with varying emotions by the assembled crowd. The general feeling, it is safe to say. was one of intense excitement, but sev- eral portly gentlemen in the hall without, rubbing their half-opened eyes, muttered indignant and defi- nite expressions of disgust: while others gazed with wide-open eyes at the closed closet door. Then Austin, supported bv the onlookers, ad- vanced to the door, and, stealthily turning the key. threw it wide open. With eyes widening with astonishment, they looked, and looked, and looked.

Each year our utter incapability to justly commemorate the deeds of such noble men is more clearly shown. Each year, despite the fact that their continuously diminishing numbers show that relentless Death is waging a most demoral- izing war upon them, they stand, and with courage displayed only by true soldiers fight it off. No eulogium can satisfactorily portray the grati- tude of a people to their heroes. No orator can satisfactorily express the love and esteem of the people for such heroes as arc found right in the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. p. p k The Senior Soiree, which is to be held in An- thoine Hall Wednesday evening, June 12. will be the last social affair that the Seniors will ever enjoy as .Seniors. The Soiree will be by all means the finest dance of the season and anyone not attend- ing will miss the time of his life. IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY SENIOR WHO DAXCES T() ATTEND THIS 1 -AST SOCIAL EVENT OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL COURSE. Tickets may be obtained from Henderson. Snow, Pearson. Miss Pipe, and Miss Ball of the English School, and from Bowlby. Whitman. Miss Holden, and Miss Hallett of the Latin School. p. . p. An extension of time is granted for articles for the June Radiator. Nothing will be accepted, however, after Tuesday,'June 4. Fraternities and sororities are invited to consult either the business manager or the editor concerning “cuts, no- tices, etc., on or before June 5. If you wish to order a Radiator and have not already, leave your name with either Howard Gray, Latin, ’07, or Arthur L. Thayer, English, ’08. THERE WILL BE NO PUBLIC SALE OF THE JUNE RADIATOR. IF YOU WISH A COPY YOU MUST ORDER IT NOW. P. K P. P. Why is it that early every spring and fall the Radiator has a long article in its editorial col- umns pleading and beseeching you to support the schools’ athletic teams. Is there any cause for it? Is school patriotism in the Somerville High Schools of the quality and quantity that it should be? Answer these questions yourselves, fellow schoolmates, and then do a little saving, if neces- sary, until you find yourselves able to attend at least one good baseball game. If you can’t at- tend the game, take twenty-five cents down to Mr. Jones and join the Athletic Association; you never will miss the money. If you can attend the game take your voice along with you. and let players and spectators know that there is one loyal supporter of the team in the bleachers. p, p. p„ Somerville is indeed fortunate in securing such a generous gift from Mr. Carnegie. A library in West Somerville is a blessing that very few residents of that section had ever dreamed of. � . Pi At last our expensive grass plot is beginning to assume its famous beauty. Keep off the grass, and let the good work proceed. p. p, p, p„ The cantata given by the Brockton High School recently, under the direction of Mr Had- ley, was, we understand, a grand success.

Iluamer. )£., 'OS LOWLY and stealthily, with noiseless tread, creeping along near the fence, came a bent figure, with a slouch, hat concealing the features—a burglar. It was midnight, a night lighted by no moon or stars—a friendly night for the burglar. Cautiously he proceeded: his ears, trained to catch every sound, ever on the alert. Hark! v.hat was that? He paused, and shrank even closer to the fence. Hut his fears were groundless; for it was only the bell on the church near bv tolling the midnight hour. At last he approached the house, the house chosen for his night's work. All was dark. Whispering one single word, Success.” he entered the grounds. Noiselessly proceeding, he soon reached the rear of the house, where was situated a window which he had selected as his means oi entrance to the house. The window was soon pryed open with a jimmy, and he raised himself in through the window. The rooms were arranged as he knew them to be, from a careful inspection of the exterior, and of the interior, made under the guise of a gas man. Slowly, with mufiled footsteps, to avoid waking the sleepers above, he moved towards the dining- room. On the buffet lay a quantity of silver, but that could wait until later. He was after money first, and he knew where to search, for he had done some watching and investigation to good purpose. Expectant, he let his hands wander carefully over the sides of the buffet, with their rich polish. Fin- ally his search was rewarded, for at the pressure of his fingers a tiny door cunningly concealed in the side flew open, disclosing a large roll of bills. Quickly grasping it, he put it in his pocket, and gathering together a few other spoils, he started to leave the house. Hut suddenly he stumbled against something lying on the Poor. I lad he awakened the occu- pants of the house? He listened, but all was quiet. With a half-muffled exclamation, he picked up the object in his path. It was a large, brown Teddy bear, with a blue bow tied under his chin. Fas- tened to the arm of the bear was a valuable gold chain, with a tinv heart suspended. “This is a queer find. thought the burglar. The chain was worth taking, but should he take it' Suddenly, moved by a quick impulse, he tore off a piece of paper from a small book. On it, with the stub of a pencil, and with a hand unused to writing, he scrawled these words: Lite! teddy bare Girl: A wikid man has visited your house to-night. I le will go away richer, but your popper will not miss what he has taken. Your teddy bare is left, and the iitel hart. With your popper’s muncy anuther teddy Hear will be bort for my litel girl. Mr. Burglar.” Finning this on the shoulder of the Teddy bear, he silently made his way out of the house. As he crept out of the window, the leaves rustling on the trees made a slight noise, but he was safe. When he reached the street, the bell of the church tolled one. and then all was still again. And down the street into the distance moved the shambling figure in the slouch hat. TLhc Country of IMevev o JSe 36 ? lines Merrill, %., OS Oh ! far, far away in a valley.

It was the typical Cape Cod island town with its countless sandy hills and valleys. On the island was a schoolhouse. a church, and the one general store. These people were very pro- gressive. and the island-town soon became a prominent fishing port, but on account of the num- berless salt marshes, the mosquitoes became such a pest that the people gradually deserted this grow- ing town for a nearby larger town until there were only two families remaining. The houses were al- lowed to fall into ruin with the exception of these two solitary houses. One was the home of an old sea captain, who had been born and brought up on this island. He had attended the island school. knew where the best apples grew, knew where the best clams were to be found, and in fact knew all that was essential for an island boy of twelve years. At an early age he left the island and went with his chum to follow the sea as all his ancestors had done. From a deck hand, he rose to the command of a fine vessel after years of faithful service, and then lie retired to enjoy his wealth (obtained from investments in ships). But. however, in all these years lie had always managed to spend a jxartion of the summer at his old island home, with his chil lren and grandchildren. The old island home was precisely the same as it had been for eightv-four years—a typical seaman's abode. It was fitted with all the neatness and compactness of a well-equipped vessel. The old sea captain was now becoming old and feeble, and he feared that he would be unable to spend the summer at his birthplace. During the winter news was obtained from the care-taker of the place that the house had been broken into, but as far as could be ascertained nothing but fuel and provisions had been used and the bunks slept in. At this report the old captain was nearly heart- broken. He could not understand why any one should go to that forsaken place in the dead of winter to molest his humble home. He immedi- ately sent a man to the Cape to investigate, and meanwhile he was nearly worried to death at the thought that any one could harm his old home, his birthplace that he loved so well. One afternoon lie saw his son rushing up the driveway toward his home in great excitement, grasping a newspaper in his hand. His son tore into the captain's den, crying. “Here, father, just read this. The captain read the following piece from the Cape Cod Item: “The schooner ‘Susan M.’ of Provincetown came in port last week re- porting the loss of two men. Henry Rich and Ebcnezer Matthews, during the storm and blizzard of last Tuesdav. These men. well known to our Cape Cofc readers and natives of Provincetown, were lost in a dory while making fast some fishing nets. But. we are happy to say that both men are now safe, although they have not recovered from the recent hardships they endured. In attempting to make their way back to the schooner, they were seized in the grasp of the blizzard and were taken from their course, they being powerless to resist the force of the elements. After being tossed about for many hours, the crait capsized in the breakers. They were successful in gaining the shore, although they were nearly frozen with the cold water and deep snow. They' gazed about them, but saw no wel- coming lights, and no houses either were visible to shelter them. They had been saved from a death by drowning, only to meet death by freezing. After floundering around in the snow hunting for shelter and getting more disheartened every min- ute. they came to a house. Their hopes arose, only to be disappointed by finding the house a ruin, without shelter or furnishing. They came to an- other house only to find this one in a worse con- dition. By this time they were ready to give up, one man suffering from frozen ears and fingers, the other suffering from feet and hands. Although they could scarcely walk, they came to the third house. I (ere to their great joy they were able to make an entrance. finding fuel and provisions, and, above all. good bunks. They were soon comfortable with a good fire, and had satisfied their hunger with the numerous kinds of canned goods which they had found in the cabin-like kitchen. As soon as the storm cleared they made their way to a nearby towrn and wished to notify the owner that they desired to settle for the damage they had done to the house. They said that the well-fitted house seemed like Paradise, after their disappointments, and they wished to thank their kind benefactor because no one could realize how much they appreciated it—words could not express their gratefulness.” The captain, after reading this, was assured that this must have been his old home that had shel- tered brother seamen and saved them from death. He was unspeakably pleased, and resolved that hereafter there would be fuel and provisions in his house, that in case of another accident a sailor might have shelter in his own beloved home on that Cape Cod island. ----------- ------------- Gbe m.

CANNOT say how many times I saw My Beautiful Lady before I knew how very beautiful she was: but suffice it to say that I did know, and that for three happy years I lived in anticipation oi seeing her. Twice a day. in going to and from work. I passed her home. In the summer afternoons she was often on the porch busy about some dainty needlework: and in the winter I would see her reading near the window. 1 did not love her because of her beautiful brown eyes and heavy golden hair, but rather I loved them because of her. I loved the eyes, for they were the expression of sympathy and gentleness which I knew to be so great a part of her. I loved the soft, wavy hair because it exemplified her hap- piness and light-heartedness. Her name I cannot tell you. for I never knew. 1 might have made inquiries, but had I. some one might have discovered my secret. I was simply content to love her. and if the hates permitted me a sight of her. it was ecstasy. Perhaps it is strange that I never passed her home except in going to and from my work. At the time I feared lest she might discover that I loved her. and then make it impossible for me to see her again. I never saw her in the mornings, but once I heard a clear, sweet voice singing a happy morning anthem, 'file voice could have belonged to no one else. The first time I heard it. I recognized it as the voice of My Beautiful Lady. Again, one warm summer evening, when 1 was returning from an unusually hard day’s work. I heard the opening chords of the Rosary. When I passed. I saw her seated at the piano near an open window. Iler delicate features seemed bathed in happiness, and the sunlight transformed her hair to a halo. I longed to stop and listen, but that same fear of some one discovering that 1 loved her made me hurry along. That night mv boarding house was a castle, the landlady a fairy queen, and 1 a prince whom she had rescued from the land of Hard Labor. The horrors of hash did not trouble me for days. Thus the time passed—my davs in the anticipa- tion of seeing her when my work was done, and my nights in the memory of her joyful beauty. Another morning late in the fall I heard her sing- ing again. That day my heart sang while 1 worked, and I hardly knew the hours as they flew by: nor was it a burden when I worked several hours longer. When I was finally on my way home. I walked quickly, for I was eager to know if I should catch one glimpse of her. Suddenly a man lurched into me and fell. I stooped over him to help him up. and saw that he was very much intoxicated. He was well dressed, but his evening clothes and opera hat were muddy. What a loath- some sight that was, after the delightful dreams of My Beautiful Lady, which had been my companions all day! I was about to go on, when the horrible thought came to me that she might sec him if he stayed there. I went back and asked him where he was going. Howdv. frien’. Glad ’cr see yer— hie—goin there, sec er pretty girl. Come along.” Then he started for the house of My Beautiful Lady. That was too much. I seized his shoulder firmly, and said: No, you're not. Come with me.” He was just in the right stage of intoxica- tion to feel jolly and friendly, so I had no difficulty in getting him to go with me. I took him to mv boarding house, and managed to get him up to my room without any of the other boarders seeing me. He was very talkative while he smoked his pipe, and made no suggestion of go- ing. However, it wasn’t long before his head began to nod, and when he was soundly asleep I dragged him on to my bed. I knew that he would not awaken until morning, so I made myself as comfortable as possible in my Morris chair. When my guest awakened, he did not know how he happened to he in strange quarters. I ex- plained. but I did not tell him where I met him nor why I brought him to my room. I le was a gentle- man. and he thanked me sincerely for it. but made no explanation of the previous evening, nor did he mention where he was going when 1 met him. All day at mv work I could not forget his bloated face and bleared eyes. Still, through it all. 1 was grate- ful that I had been able to spare My Beautiful Lady so disgusting a sight. When 1 went home at night I heard a gay voice singing Schubert’s Serenade.” Then I knew that her heart was light, and so I was glad. Thus the weeks passed. I saw her occa- sionally. and because of her and my love for her mv work was easy and my days happy. Finally spring came. Now the windows were raised, and 1 heard My Beautiful Lady singing more often. Her songs were always sweet and cheerful. One afternoon in June, when I was pass- ing. I saw her in the garden with her arms full of roses. The blossoms were perfect, but not one was more charming than Mv Beautiful Lady herself. When she looked up her eyes smiled, as t am sure they often did. That night I dreamed of her again. I dreamed that the smile was for me—just for me! The next morning was so pretty! There were no hard colors, but everywhere soft sunlight which had filtered through delicate green leaves. How happy 1 was! Mv cup of joy indeed seemed to be full and I believed all the world was glad to be charming because My Beautiful Lady had smiled upon it.

Ibugbes, ]£., ’07 XE sultry August day a little girl about five years old was bidding farewell to her young playmates in Liverpool. It would soon be time for tile great steamer Marquis” to leave its crowded dock and gently make its way to tiie broad expanse of water lying off in the distance. In a few days, if all went well, she would safely land her passengers in Xew York. The Carringtons were a family of comfortable circumstances, and going to seek their fortune in the Xew W orld. We can well picture the family in the great excitement leaving home, the only one they had ever known. What would luck bring to them? Little Isabelle was picturing a land of wealth. She could then have every wish of her heart, lint what were the parents thinking of? Wc can easily imagine that. Finally the hour arrived when the last good-bys were being said. All the passengers had boarded the vessel. The erv of All ashore that’s going ashore! was heard throughout the boat. The final gong was sounded, and the great steamer moved slowly out to sea. 1 landkcrchicfs were waved until England seemed but a mere speck, and then the passengers grouped together in threes and fours: some talking merrily of their new plans, others with sorrowful voices. The sea was at a dead calm. There was not a breath of air stirring. The sun was setting, a dim. coppery ball. The sea was like glass, dark and oilv looking. The weather indications were doubt- ful and threatening. The oldest and most experi- enced seamen were sure that the conditions fore- boded one of those terrific storms which arc preva- lent in the latter part of August. As the sun sank duller and more dangerous in its appearance, the passengers retired to their rooms to avoid seeing the terrible storm which they thought was fast ap- proaching. The storm did come. Few on board knew the seriousness of the situation, as early the next morn- ing the sun could be seen in the distance rising higher and higher in the horizon, bringing glad- ness to all our friends, young as well as old. Isabelle was such a bright and sunny child that she easily made friends with all the passengers, among whom was a very wealthy lady returning from an extended trip on the continent. She pointed out each place of interest to the child, tell- ing her how many more days and even counting the hours before they reached their destination. One day the joyous news became known that the vessel was only a few hundred miles from'Xew York. The happy strains were suddenly inter- mingled with the cry of fire,” and immediately all was confusion. The firemen worked desperately, but all was in vain. The flames swept along the decks, rising higher and higher every moment. The tire had gained too great a headway and the smoke which rose in clouds blinded the workers. At last the captain gave the order for the boats to be lowered. Xothing more could be done. The fire was beyond control. In the excitement of the moment little Isabelle became separated from her parents. Tire child’s heart beat with fear. What should site do? As she was thus thinking one of the sailors hurriedly placed her in one of the boats The little heroine huddled in one corner and in doing so was pushed against Mrs. Daman, the wealthy lady. It was concluded as Isabelle’s parents could not be found anywhere that they must either have been burnt alive or escaped in another life boat. The little girl was kindly cared for by every one and told that some day she might meet her mother and father again. After hours of hardship and exposure with little to eat or drink, the people in the boat with Isa- belle finally drifted toward Xew York and were rescued by a passing boat. Upon arriving at Xew York Mrs. Daman took her small companion to her mansion, where she was treated as her own child. Isabelle Carrington for the next thirteen years bad a private tutor and proved a very bright scholar. She passed examinations, entering Yassar in her eighteenth year. While at college she won the admiration of all her schoolmates, and m the last two years of her course was chosen president of her class. One morning just before commencement Isa- J)cl!e was called to Mrs. Daman's room, the lady who had proved a true mother to the little child alone in the world. This was not an uncommon occurrence, but when Isabelle entered the room the serious face of her guardian made her tremble with fear. Mrs. Daman said: Isabelle, you have often asked me about your parentage, but not until to- day have I felt like approaching the subject. If you think that you can hear to hear the story I will unfold to you the mystery.” When Isabelle hoard the story of her rescue, and full of hope that her parents might be living, perhaps in the city of Xew York, she did not let one opportunity go by without inquiring about her mother and father. One day as Isabelle was helping a very poor woman in a cheap locality of the city she heard a very pitiful story. It was a tale similar to one she had heard before. P ut where was it? The ques- tion was decided in a second. Was it not a story THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR very much like her own? Could that old lady, now so ragged and care-worn, be her mother? At last the desire of one young heart was ful- filled. Mother and daughter were again brought together. It seemed too good to be true. Tears of gladness were shed, but the joy was too much for the aged iadv. who was at that time lying helpless 57 in bed. Mrs. Carrington only lived to sav, “Isa- belle. your father is dead.” Two years later a happy marriage was celebrated between Mrs. Daman's son, Frank, and Isabelle Carrington. She proved to be a worthy daughter and the pride of the lady who could now be called her mother. m Beautiful %ab [Continued from page 155.] I worked well that day and happily. When I left working, as I neared the home of My Beautiful Lady. I saw an awning stretched from the door to the street. At first I could not believe that it was true, and it seemed like a fearful nightmare. I was as if dazed. I was not jealous because she was to marry some one else. That thought never oc- curred to me; but I was confronted with the fact that I should not see her again. That was a possi- bility which I had not considered. Xever—never see her again— never see My Beautiful Lady again ! The words rang in my mind, and continually re- peated themselves. After a while T revived from my stunned condition, and determined that I would see her once again. Late in the evening I went out and walked quickly through the dark streets like a thief. I tried to make myself as inconspicuous as possible in the crowd about her house. A carriage was there, and I had not long to wait before the house door opened and a rush of young people, led by My Beautiful Lady, came out. I looked at her only, and I made the contour of her features and the expression of her eyes eternally indelible upon mv mind and heart. I saw nor heard nothing else. When they were in the carriage, her husband leaned forward to close the door, and in a flash F saw he was the man who had been my forced guest nearly a year before! A look of recognition came over his face, and then they were gone. Gone— Mv Beautiful Lady had gone, and with that man! 1 turned and walked back with a bowed head. o = a « I have never passed her house since then, and for me the sun does not shine. In the days I work to forget what I am denied, and at night I dream of those three long .ears of happiness, when i might love My Beautiful Lady. I have no right to love her now. but no one can forbid me the right to remember in my dreams her happy voice and lovely eyes. That shall be mine until the Fates shall grant me admittance to the land of Forgetful- ness. Thus the time passes.

He was pacing restlessly up and down, and the sun, which had risen so gloriously that morning, but was now beginning to set. caused his long shadow, which lay on the ground, to follow him ceaselessly like an accusing conscience. Xow and then he would raise his bent head and iook at the distant figure of the girl who sat on the veranda of an old Southern mansion which lay to the south, the Northern girl who, while staying with her Southern cousin, had laid her charm upon him and his regiment. Finally, as he raised his eyes and noted how far the sun had set. his steps became more impatient as the conflict grew stronger within him. and he mused thus, as if addressing the motionless figure m the distance: “In what moment of weakness did 1 promise that I would give you those dispatches? I little thought when you asked me so lightly to grant a request that I was pledging away my honor. You say that you are a Northern girl, and that you. Although you cannot go into the field and fight, have sworn to help your cause in whatever way vou can. Rut am I not a Southern soldier? Is not my duty to my country as great as yours?” The conflict ceased for a moment: then he looked again at the dainty white figure on the distant ve- randa. and his feeling was so intense that he half murmured to himself: Rut I have given you my promise that the dispatches shall be yours to-night. •Can 1 break my word to you? No! I will keep mv promise! And yet--------” So deep in thought was he that he had not noted the lapse of time, and the shadows that had lain long about him now covered the entire earth. Suddenly a low sound, like the muttering of thun- der. arose far down the road. It was the tramp of an army, and his regiment was in it. going to oc- cupy the position w hich the dispatches he had been entrusted with were to prepare for them. With these still undelivered, they might be going to death. When the significance of the sound broke upon the soldier, he hid himself from sight under the cover of a great magnolia bush. The army was now abreast of him. and singing as they marched, as they sometimes did at such times and when they lav about the camp-fire, that they might forget their hardships. Clad to be distracted from his own thoughts, and fearful of discovery, the young man listened to the song as it rolled deep and full from the throats of a thousand marching men. It was the song of his own regiment, and as they passed opposite him. these words poured forth with startling significance:— “A traitor’s foot is on thy soil. O Maryland, my Maryland!” He started to his feet and stood a moment in silence, while the words sank into his heart where the burden of his doubt had rested so heavily. Then he laid his hand on the dispatches and raised his head proudly. A second later he was galloping at full speed across country, sitting upright as a victor who has conquered a deadly foe. while the passing breeze lx re back from his lips the strain:— O Maryland, my Maryland! be IDecree of jfate By? lb. parfcer Xowell, X., ’06 HE title of a story is sometimes its only excuse for being read. The above title has a dramatic sound, and be- cause it appealed to me I have adopted it to give a sort of polish to a narration in which I shall try to de- scribe mv trip to and my first impression of Chi- cago and its suburbs. It may have been a decree of fate, but I regarded it merely as the course of events that 1 should be drawn so far away from childhood’s cherished spots, and left to seek a higher education far from the base of supplies, and with no other resources than mv immatured brain and the legal tender supplied by the Pater. You undoubtedly will add. under your breath, And at such a tender age, too.” The story and the trip both began when the train pulled out of the North station and I left the small party of friends, who had given me a send- off. They returned to the city which I at first thought I should not see again for four years, but which I now wish to sec at my earliest convenience. Homesick? Oh, no, I've had no time for that yet, but that is not the question. As the train carried us along, the old familiar scenes were soon left in the distance, and 1 began to find interest in a country entirely new to me. Our course through Massachusetts led through many low, forest-clad hills. The track ran in some places beside rivers, which in all probability were tributaries of the Connecticut. They were shallow, like a lot of people I have met, and one could walk THK SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 159 across on the rocky bottom with little danger of wetting his feet. On the bank of one river stood the ruins of the brick walls of a factory which would easily have passed for a ruined castle. It was nearing five o'clock, and I had already been that number of hours on the road, when the time table, which I studied carefully, warned us of the approach of Iloosac Tunnel. We were pene- trating farther and farther into the hills, which now reared their birch-clad brows far above us. When all avenues of escape seemed to be shut off, the train plunged into the tunnel, and for ten minutes ran through a subterranean passage that would make Last Boston Tunnel hide its face for shame We next saw the light of day in North Adams, where they were holding a county fair, which re- minded me of a bird’s-eye view of Sullivan square on the Seventeenth of June. That was the last 1 saw of the state of mv birth, for soon after we passed into New York. It was fast growing dark, and being unable to observe the outside panorama. I turned mv thoughts heavenward to that upper berth, shrouded, as it w. s, in mystery. It was the first engine of death of that species I had yet seen, and it inspired me with an uncomfortable awe. With an almost superhuman effort. 1 reached my destination, and paused to view the promised land. There was a diminutive hammock waiting for me, but it was the wrong size, so I resolved to sleep on the floor of mv apartment. 1 then drew the cur- tain over what followed, and will in this instance. Let � t suffice that while in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. I also was in a state of unrest. The greater part of the night I spent in holding myself together. It was like playing jelly-fish with vours truly” in the title role. I did not sleep at all, and as some one once expressed it. What little sleep I did get didn’t do me any good.” I awoke in Cleveland, O., a physical, if not a mental, wreck. As a rule, trains do not pass through the palatial parts of any city, so my impres- sion of Cleveland was a hole in the ground with houses around it. piles of lumber in it. and bridges over it. And such bridges,—mere skeletons poised high in air, and extending in every direction over this great pit. Some of them appeared a mile in length. Pittsburgh is styled The Smoky City.” but Cleveland docs a little smoking itself. Through the smoke I caught a glimpse of Lake Erie. Eront that time on. what little water I did sec was so defiled and polluted as to be a blemish on the landscape. After passing through a few miles of vineyards, we came into a level country, covered with corn, bound in stacks, and emphasized by a background of trees. The houses were conspicuous by their in- frequency, and the few we did see clustered about ■the railroad stations were small and unpretentious. Ohio and Indiana presented to our view' that same continuous panorama throughout our journey, and 1 very soon lost interest in it. My attention was, however, arrested by a cor- pulent. self-satisfied lady who was advertising the sterling qualities of her fourteen-year-old son who answered to the name of Eddie. I learned more about Eddie in one hour than I could have read in a book in three months. Finally I sought relief in the vestibule, but imagine my dismay w hen I found myself alone with—Eddie, the infant prodigy. With a sad heart 1 went back and collapsed in un- seat. and did not smile again throughout the trip. At Briceton. ().. the station was an ordinary freight car minus its trucks. Farther on a school- house came into view. The offsprings of the tillers of the soil were marching out. hand in hand, and shoulder to shoulder, and the stirring vision made my heart beat faster—or else it was mv watch that I heard. The next thing out of the ordinary was a patch of burned land, which presented to the casual observer the aspect of a mangy dog. 'The last stop of note was at Tippecanoe, the scene of General William Henry Harrison’s Indian cam- paigns. It was here, while I had thrust mv classic features out of the car w indow , that some untutored child looked at me. and queried innocently, Who are you?” Imagine my astonishment at such an unexpected display of ignorance! I was non- plussed. I could find no words for reply, so re- mained silent, surveying him with haughty reserve. Withdrawing mv head, I remained in seclusion until dense clouds of smoke proclaimed our approach to Chicago. Chicago makes Boston look like a country cross- road, and it was an hour after reaching the freight- yard limits before we pulled up at the big La Salle- strect station. M v trip had now nearly ended, and after an hour’s ride on the elevated and surface cars, I arrived safe, but travel-stained, in Evanston, where for the next four years I shall uplift all those with whom I come in contact. 1 will now close, as my talc is told.

When they arrived there they found that a non geometrical spider had woven a web of many colors, to untangle which was the work of the evening. For two hours patience and ingenuit were sorely taxed, as the merry-makers followed up their respective strings.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 160 The High School Herald is numbered, as usual, among our list of exchanges; its cuts arc not, how- ever, numbered for the usual criticisms. They are much better than many that we see. Johnny, spell ‘through.’ ” Johnny: “Roosevelt or Webster?”—Ex. After a long interval, the Palmetto and the Pine again makes its appearance. Hobson's Lecture, ’ in this paper, is most interesting and instructive. We are glad to hear that you really contemplate introducing an exchange column into your paper, for, aside from this omission, it is worthy of praise. Acadcmian, are you saving your material and energy for your June issue? We miss your ex- changes, and there is also a noticeable lack of stories and general interest in your last number. The Academy Bell is a bright little paper, alert, and in a degree original. Its cover is also in good taste, being in the two-tone effect. - The farmer may talk of the bluebird, Of zephyrs the poet may sing, Put a tack upright on the floor at night Is the sign of an early spring.” —Ex. Inquirer: Where is your father? Small Bov: “Down in the pigpen. You’ll know him ’cause he's got his hat on. —Ex. The Bangor Oracle has quite an innovation in its new column, entitled Pocket Biographies of the Seniors. It lacks the humor, though, which helps other papers to become more or less j opulai . The Tiltonian is a most neatly and concisely ar- ranged paper. It shows from its notices strong society enthusiasm among its students. A few more cuts would greatly add to its character, how- ever. Tar Baby's Confession, in the Argosy, is most original and bright; also the article by an alumnus written for the last issue. We find two numbers of the K. II. S. Enterprise on our table this month, both of which are most ac- ceptable. The account of the Senior-Junior recep- tion in the March issue was certainly suggestive in its various resources for entertainment. One of the best pieces of advice seen for some time, and one which many wottld do well to follow, is that seen in the editorial column of the Artisan, pertaining to how time should lie spent in school; that is. to make it a means to an end, and not a play time. A single quill often makes a goose of many men. —Ex. Freshman year— A Comedy of Errors. Sophomore year— Much Ado About Nothing. Junior year—“As You Like It.

April 2 , Somerville High boys made their annual tour to Soldiers' Field to meet their first defeat at the hands of the Harvard Second team. Mixer pitched for Somerville, and did creditable work. It was the first time he has been in a game right through eight innings. Towards the end of the eighth Mixer became wild, and Scriven finished the game. For Harvard.

Groton was outclassed by the Somerville boys, and never was dangerous. The game was rather slow, and in the seventh, with the score 12 to I. the game was called, in order that the Somer- ville team might catch a train home. For the first two innings neither side scored, and sonic fast fielding prevented any hits. In the third inning Somerville scored three runs, and Groton scored one run in her half. In the next inning Somerville took a brace and scored nine runs. In this inning five hits were made. Two of these were three-baggers, one bv Bowlby and one by Sharrv.

For Groton, Sturgis was the star, making three of the five hits for his team. Somerville, 3 ; Broofcltne, 0 At Broadway Field Somerville High added another victory to the list by shutting out Brookline High. 3-0. It was a well-played, in- teresting game throughout, the visitors making no errors. Munroe was in good form, and struck out nine men. ()nly three singles were made off him. Brown pitched six innings for Brookline, and Somcrv illc got six hits. Bowlby made a long drive over the centreficlder's head which was good for a home run.

Mahoney later scored on singles by Garland and Mitchell In the sixth it looked as though Brookline would score. Phelan singled and Elliot walked, but Clune was out on an infield fly.

If you follow this rule you will soon turn to simple, wholesome foods, eating less meat than before, but getting more good from what you cat. Your favorite foods will be brown bread, fresh butter, milk and cream, eggs, cereals, fruits, etc. Take tea and coffee if they agree with you: if not try milk and cocoa. Ninety per cent of our physical and mental sickness comes from the stomach, and is caused by bolting heavy, indigestible foods. No one is so irritable as a dyspeptic, and the ills induced by unwise eating make us disagreeable to our friends and militate against our prosperity and happiness. If you have been eating rich foods, make a trial of GRIOLEY'S restaurants, and finan- cially and physically benelit yourself by eating pure, perfectly prepared foods at low prices. The man or woman who eats sensibly and properly is taking the first step towards cleanness of body and mind and the establishing of a firm moral tone.

CfThe young man who starts in at this time will stand but little chance without a business training.

SANBORN, MO � 74 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDI TO RIAL'S Bn Explanation Before resigning the management of the Radia- tor into other and worthier hands we feel it our duty to explain the true position of the paper to the undergraduates. The high standard of the Radiator in the past has been attained by the earnest, conscientious work of its various staffs, together with the ad- mirable co-operation of the students. In behalf of the present management, we wish to state that it has been our earnest endeavor to see that the previ- ous high standard has in no way been lowered, and we sincerely hope that our efforts, however defi- cient. have not been in vain. And now as we look back over the past year we feel grateful for tin hearty co-operation of the student body we have received, for their untiring interest in their school paper which has so characterized the pupils of the school in previous years has not been waning during the past year. Consider seriously, however, undergraduates, what your attitude toward the Radiator is to be in the future. Will you opcn-hcartedly and en- thusiastically support your representatives as they always have been supported, or will you allow the fair name and reputation of the Radiator. earned by the tireless efforts and generosity of others, to suffer the shame of becoming only as good as the average ? Perish the latter thought! 9 ► � 9. IRcstfluatton of Cuddy The long expected has happened, and Charles Cuddy, coach of the Somerville athletic teams, has tendered his resignation to the Athletic Association in order to accept a similar, but more profitable, position in Malden. Although his resignation is a serious blow to Somerville athletes and athletics, the people of Somerville, and in fact all who have watched his wonderful success in developing winning teams, wish him the best of good fortune in his new under- taking. although they cannot loyally wish him the same success in developing winning teams. r. � . 9. 9. fldr.

Over one thousand have been prepared for college under his direction, and in September eighty-nine more will have been added to the list. Can many high school headmasters boast of such a record ? THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 175 Zhc Incoming Staft In introducing the incoming staff our gratifica- tion is beyond expression. The literary depart- ment will be most efficiently supervised by Allen G. Hooper. Latin. ‘08, a man df undoubted literary talent as well as executive ability. He will be ably assisted by Miss Grace Bradford, E.,’08. Her story, The Surrender of Sarah,” in the November issue proved effectively her capabilities for the position of associate editor. The Exchange Column will be in the charge of Miss Mabel Teele. English, 'OS, while the Alumni Department will be in the hands of the Misses Bunton and Bradbury. Arthur Campbell. English, 'OS, was chosen staff artist, and we feel sure that his work in this line will be a prominent feature of next year’s Radia- tor. Charles C. Pearson, Latin, '08, will follow the sports. The financial department will again be under the supervision of Mr. George Ilosmer (faculty) with Harold Kebbon business manager, assisted by Spencer Sawyer, Latin. ’01), first assistant, and Ralph Riddell, English, '08, second assistant. ¥, . K Graduation Graduation and then we know not what. For four long years we have been looking forward to this one event, and now that it is here we find our- selves unprepared. What can WE ALONE do in this great world? How are WE to attain the goal of all men’s de- sires when so many are before us in the field? These and many other queries, together with the thoughts of leaving dear Alma Mater, well nigh discourage us and surely serve as the only cloud upon these happy commencement days. Would that we could but look into the distant future and see the result of the great battle.

The sun was shining with that pe- culiar brightness which makes one lazy all over—and happy, too, with the curious, care-free feeling that af- fects us so forcibly in the dog days. There was just wind enough to keep one awake in the shade and to move the few fishing smacks and pleasure craft which were sailing to and fro on the Atlantic swell outside the bar. A few gulls were flying over Pleasant Bay with loud, yet musical, cries, and the surf on the ebb tide mur- mured an undertone to the poetry of the whole scene. Seated on the piazza of the Atlantic House”— the best hotel in this little Cape Cod town of Chatham—were a young man and a girl engaged in earnest conversation. Mildred Mason was the only child of a wealthy Chicago broker and was universally acknowledged, as Uncle Ez. the village patriarch, said, the stunnin'est gal in the city, f r she certainly was extremely pretty. Large, ex- pressive brown eyes, a wealth of soft brown hair, the classic beauty of her features, and the pro- nounced gracefulness of her carriage made her the most attractive lass of twenty-two Harry Teele had ever seen. Teele himself was a Boston man. the son of an aristocratic, well-to-do lawyer. He had that year graduated from the Harvard Law School at the age of twenty-seven and had begun to practice in his father's office. Being strong and large, lie was very fond of out-door sports, espe- cially yachting. He also enjoyed sprinting, hav- ing come within two seconds of the record for a hundred-yard dash while at Harvard. At the time our story opens, he and Miss Mason, after a year's acquaintance, seemed much interested in each other, but nothing had been said between them despite his several roundabout starts. And now with the elastic license of an author let us bend a respectful car to catch the subject which so interests them:— Why. yes. the girl is saying with rather un- certain gaiety, perhaps your lady is equally in- terested in you. I should propose at once. Possibly. But I don't believe she thinks of me at all in that light. I don’t want to risk being re- fused. because I’d come down so hard, and yet it seems as if I couldn't live without her. Maybe the girl despairs just as much of ever reaching you. You wouldn't make her unhappy just because of a little shyness, would you? Any- way. here's luck to you. and, with a bright smile which lasted until she was inside the door, Miss Mason left him. But it was with a pretty serious face that she entered her room. With a sigh she threw herself on the couch by the open window, where the gentle breeze cooled her flushed cheeks, and the low roar of the surf seemed an echo of her own troubled thoughts. There was a choking sensation in her throat, and she could hardly re- press an unhappy sob. Why do 1 act so! I'm only interested for his sake. She tried hard to believe that, but deep in her heart she knew to the contrary. At least. I hope she'll make him happy, whoever she is. But - oh, dear!” The next morning Miss Mason tripped gaily down to the pier, and. raising the sail of her little catboat. Mermaid. cast ofif the painter and headed for the open ocean. She was pursuing Pleasure and gaining rapidly. The little cat—the best sixteen-footer in the bay—having just the wind and sea to suit her, skimmed over the waves like a duck, making the ripple of canvas and swishing lap of water along her sides that is music to every lover of the sea. Now and again she playfully dashed the salt spray in her fair hclms- woman's face. or. in a fitful easing of the breeze, luffed up with her sail flapping, impatient at such delay; then, when the wind returned, bore off again with a satisfied nod of her pretty bows. Finding the outside sea a little too rough, Miss Mason came about and ran into the bay again, with the intention of standing up and down its three miles of coast for awhile. She was seated on the port side with the sail to starboard. As she slacked the sheet and fell off the wind, pre- paratory to running north before it. she caught sight of a solitary man in a rowboat ahead. It was Harry Teele fishing. Her course was now set straight for him. and she could not retreat. Sud- denly. with a rush, their conversation of the previ- ous day, all her hopes and fears came over her so forcibly that, under stress of great emotion, she unintentionally drew the tiller hard up again. The wind was fitful and gusty and rather stiff for a whole sail. so. with it astern and the canvas as it was. the Mermaid. falling off still more, jibed her sail over with a crash, and—capsized! With a terrified scream. Miss Mason was pre- cipitated into the briny deep. luckily clear of all the wreckage. ' She could swim, however, and with a few strokes reached the boat and laid a hand on it: but then, instead of drawing herself out or trying to right the boat, she hung there staring with a blanched face and terrified eyes into the water. Well might she be terrified, for there, leisurely making his wav toward her, was a great dogfish! THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 77 But Tcele had seen the accident and had put on all speed to reach the seat of action.'' Now he came up, rowing harder than ever before in his life,—forgetting she could swim,—and, taking in the situation at a glance, ripped off his coat and heavy boots and grabbed up a large fishknife. Then, poising on the thwart of his boat for a sec- ond. he dove straight for the fish, which had by this time almost reached its prey. As the belly appeared and the fish opened its jaws, Teele stabbed desperately at it with the knife. But the enemy was too quick: wheeling suddenly, it closed its mouth on the other hand. A sharp twinge of pain ran up that arm. but. as this was a good opening, the brave rescuer was not to be so deterred, but plunged his knife up to the hilt in the beast's belly. Again and again he stabbed until, with his lungs almost bursting, his temples throbbing, and his head aching as if to split, he managed to loosen his other hand and re- gain the surface. All this had taken less time than it requires to tell, and meanwhile Miss Mason had been hang- ing to her boat, dazed. But now several other craft came up. and she was taken from the water fainting. Teele, too, would have sunk again, un- conscious, had not willing hands lifted him out and taken him ashore. The dogfish was dead and Miss Mason saved from her immediate peril, but both the human actors in this strange drama lay unconscious at the house, perhaps wavering between life and death. But the doctor was confident of their complete recovery. Miss Mason had merely fainted from excitement, and a little sleep and care would soon put her jangled nerves in order again. Teele was in a more serious condition, not returning to con- sciousness for three hours. Mis pulse was rapid and irregular, he was feverish and breathed with difficulty. No excitement, at the risk of his life,” said the doctor, “his heart is weak and in danger. Brave lad; keep him quiet.” Teele was not able to be out for several days. At the end of the week he met Miss Mason on the piazza as he was returning from his first stroll on the beach since the adventure. Well, you seem to have fully recovered, he re- marked. gazing into her face with open admira- tion. Oh, Harry! she exclaimed with a pretty blush. How can I ever thank you for your noble bravery: you saved my life!” Don't try to. Only natural to help a fellow being in distress. I hope no ill effects have re- sulted from your scare? No. no. I'm as well as ever, thank you. But you seem awfully pale; I’m afraid you didn't get off as easily.” Pshaw! There's nothing the matter with me; only the doc. told me to go slow for awhile. I'll be whoop-la with the rest in a few days. With this he turned away, mentally exclaiming. Hang it all! Why did she bring up that gratitude busi- ness? Anyone but a girl would know 1 couldn’t say what I wanted to with everybody ’round in sight and hearing! Teele had not been asleep that night over two hours when, suddenly, lie awoke with a start, sit- ting bolt upright, staring into the darkness about him. He was hot and cold by turns, and the blood in his head throbbed in a most uncomfortable man- ner. This is interesting, thought he, I’ll try the Christian Science method and just forget it. But try as he would, lie could not lure slumber his way again, so in utter desperation lie got up and went to the window. Outside the full moon shed her pale light upon the sea, silvering its calm waters in a path of radiance; all was quiet save the occasional cry of a gull or yellowlcg and the continual moan of the sea. It seemed to Teele, as he sat there gazing upon the scene, that the surf sounded unusually restless, like himself, as though with dark forebodings of portending calamity. Almost as the thought crossed his mind a loud cry broke upon the still night air, Eire!” Harry leaped to his feet and listened. All was silent again: was it the imagination or was— rire! again the alarm rang out and he heard a woman scream and the sound of a door banged open. Hastily drawing on his trousers and boots he grabbed something from the bureau with a blind instinct to save and rushed from the room. In the corridor men. women, and children were pushing towards the stair-cases and performing the usual amount of crazy acts which always ac- company a fire panic. With some difficulty he gained the ground floor, and as he stepped out- side glanced at what he had in his hand —a tumb- ler of water, curiously enough with hardly a drop spilled! The fire, which had begun on the second floor in tnc rear, was spreading rapidly. Volumes of smoke rolled up from the burning building, the flames lighted up the scene with a lurid glare, while the last to leave fought their way out with difficulty. Turning to a gentleman at his side, who carefully held a nightcap in one hand and a dog-collar in the other. Teele cried. Is evervone out?” Hardly had he spoken when a piercing scream was heard and all eyes were directed to a third-story window where a white figure was lean- ing out with imploring gestures. It was Mildred Mason! My God! cried Harry, trembling violently. The figure disappeared and a deep groan arose from the crowd. Suddenly a man stood in the doorway of the hotel— Harry Teele about to risk his life for the woman he loved! Stop! Stop! Come back! You will die!” cried many. I will not!” returned he. dashing up the stairs, and everyone knew that ii man could live in that fiery hell he would return safe. Up the first flight he went, four steps at a leap. There he met such a heat and dense cloud of 178 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR smoke that he was forced to drop on all fours and proceed more slowly. Up the second flight he crawled, the fire casting its red light on him and the crackling roar of the flames driving him fran- tically onward. Along the hall he rushed and burst open the door at the other end: the room was full of smoke; already tiny flames had eaten through the walls and floor. In the centre of the room lay the insensible form of Mildred; without a moment's hesitation. Teele grabbed a blanket from the bed and. winding it about her. picked her up and hurried from the room. As he burst out into the hall, he met a sight which made him stagger. The fire had entered the corridor between Him and the staircase! Ev- ery second meant life or death, so with a grim de- termination to do or die. he entered on the fiery ordeal. The flames scorched his flesh, the smoke blinded and choked him, he reeled, and sank on his knees. But love and a strong will prevailed, and plunging on he reached the stairs in safety. He gained the second floor in a few leaps. Here lie encountered a difficulty which almost made him lose heart. The stairs were one mass of flames, absolutely impassable! This was at the rear of the hall: at the front of the building was a window opening on the broad piazza roof: but be- tween. the great tongues of flame and clouds of smoke formed a barrier through which it was al- most impossible to pass. He hesitated an instant, then with a set face and a muttered prayer for strength, he dashed into the fire. The flames singed his hair and eyebrows off and his clothes caught; he could feel himself enwrapped in a sheet of fire which mercilessly stung him with a thousand lashes of heat: his head. swam, his knees shook, but again his indomitable will held him up. After an awful nightmare of flame and smoke, shaking floors, and mental and physical torture. Teele found himself at the window. A great shout went up from the crowd as he stepped out on the piazza roof: a ladder was quickly put up and he was helped down, amid enthusiastic cheering. Mildred was at once hurried off to the house of a neighbor. The burned and blackened hero, this duty discharged, stood dazed for a moment, then with Mildred? She safe? She—? fell heavily into the arms of the bystanders. ' It was several da vs before Mildred was able to sit up or take much interest in things. Weak- ened by the shock of her experience in the water, her delicate nerves had given way under the hor- ror of the fire. She had been critically ill for al- most two weeks. At last, however, through the careful attentions of the doctor and the hospitable woman who had offered her shelter and care, she began to show signs of improvement. Insomuch, that one day she was allowed to sit up in bed, bar- ricaded by pillows, while Mrs. Nickerson read to her from the ‘‘Monitor.” When the good woman had finished read- ing. even to the advertisements. Mildred said, Doesn't it say anything about the fire?” They finished talking about that long ago when you were too sick to care.” Oh!” Then, after a pause, How did I get out? I don’t remember anything from the time I started for the door until I found myself here ' Now don’t begin to talk. You mustn't get excited, dear.” Rut it's you I want to talk. Tell me, please.” Well then, Mr. Harry Teele went in after you.’’ Oh. the dear, brave, noble—! here her ad- jectives trailed off into revery. Did lie come out safe?” Mrs. Nickerson almost gasped, but recovered herself to say: Why, of course! Aren’t you here? He brought you out on the piazza roof and down by a ladder because the stairs below the second floor were burning.” But Mildred's alert mind caught a suggestion of evasiveness in the re- ply and she questioned more earnestly. But afterwards? Did he-----?” The kind- hearted woman hesitated—and was lost. Oh. don’t tell me he died! In her agony she clutched the sheets in a tense, frightened grip and strained her ears for a word of assurance. But Mrs. Nickerson put her motherly arms about the stricken girl's neck and whispered, Hush! Hush, dearie! Yes. The Good Shepherd had need of him elsewhere, and he has gone home. Oh. don't look so! But her words of comfort were lost. ith a low moan, Mildred sank back among the pillows: she had heard enough to break her heart and was deaf to all else. For days she lay there hardly moving a muscle, staring vacantly at the ceiling, speechless, unseeing, without thought, only filled with a vague, numb sense of utter desolation, an absence of all feel- ing. save that of immeasurable, paralyzing grief. Is there no hope for her! cried her despairing father, who had hurried from Chicago immediately. I am afraid not. replied the doctor, sadly, she may live; but she can never get over this. Such cases are beyond human remedy. I o-day, in a beautiful Chicago mansion, a young girl with a thin, sad face and white hair sits at the window looking wistfully down the avenue from morning till night. She has no feeling of sorrow, only a vague sense of utter desolation, an absence of all emotion, of all that makes life alive, and that leaves in its absence—vacancy. ---------------------- IRcsolutions Whereas, by the will of our Heavenly Father, Alice and Edward Harrington have been bereaved of their beloved father: be it Resolved, that we, the members of the Latin High School, class of 1909, tender them our heart- felt sympathies.

Slice jUimnewell, X., 07 HE afternoon sun was slowly nearing its cradle of hills and casting slanting rays across a valley of the Cumber- land river. On a grassy eminence a little distance back from the flowing river stood a large, white house of Colonial outlines. Its stately grandeur was height- ened by the noble trees surrounding it. but, alas! no hospitable door was open, the windows were not courting the situ and breeze,—everything was quiet. A strange silence, a sense of desolation en- veloped it. No ravages of war were apparent, but a general decay. The gardens were overrun with weeds, and tufts of grass had sprung up here and there on the driveway. The outhouses back of the house showed the same desolation. The stables, workhouses, and cabins were all closed, but stay— ves, there were signs of civilization. From one of the further cabins a thin wreath of smoke was curl- ing upward. A sound of pounding was heard, and presently an old negro appeared in the doorway with a pail in each hand. Slowly he made his way across the grass toward one of the stables. Setting the pails down, he threw open the great door. A whinny and a neigh greeted him. “Ye pore ole critters ’ he said caressingly, “wan’ ye supper?” He pulled the pins from adjoining doors and swung them back. Two beautiful black horses came out and went up to him. He took them both by the halters and led them out to the drinking trough. Talking all the time in a low. guttural voice, he stroked first one horse’s nose, then the other. They were glorious creatures—pure Kentucky thoroughbreds, one could see at a glance, from their lithe, dainty limbs, well-shaped bodies, and straight necks. Their intelligent heads, showing the swelling veins under the thin skin, were turned to the negro, and the velvet noses were curiously engaged in seeking bits of carrot in his pockets. Their smooth, satin coats gleamed like polished ebony under the setting sun, and their long, wavy tails almost swept the ground. Going back to the barn, one broke away, and it was exhilarating to watch the long, splendid reach of those legs in the gallop. The other pulled and tugged, and finally the old man's strength gave way. and the second beautiful horse cantered gaily off! The negro was not alarmed, for he knew they would come back, as they had done before. lie sat down and waited, his dark, melancholy eyes watching his two pets in their manoeuvres, and as he sat his mind went back over the last years and dwelt sorrowfully on them. I he master of the house had died four years before, and almost his last words to his faithful old negro servant had been: “Keep Diamond and Crystal for Jack when lie comes. God alone knows when that will be, but sometime I feel sure he will return to the old place. He loved them, even if he cared for nothing else Southern.” The sobbing negro had only to murmur his obedient “Yas, massa.” before the proud, aristo- cratic Southern soul went forth on its journey to the undiscovered country. Jack had grievously wounded his father when belief in the Northern cause had led him to leave his beautiful home and go North. Nothing had' been heard from hint since, and the year following his departure his name had been rarely mentioned in the house. The mother had been dead many years, and after the master's death the servants all went, leaving Uncle Zeb alone with his charges. For four years he had scraped along, raising vege- tables and doing odd pieces of work for neighbor- ing farmers to get a living for himself and the horses. Now the old man was nearly eighty-five years old. yet Massa Jack hadn’t come. The returning horses broke in upon his reverie, lie rose and waited patiently for them to approach. Time and again they would step just up to bint, then with a shake of the delicate heads canter of? frolicsomely. Rut patience has its reward, and the mettlesome beasts, with traces of a recent roll on the grass on their rumpled coats, soon were quietly munching their grain, and Uncle Zeb was wending his way back to the lonely cabin. � “Hist! this way. Jake, here's the door. He careful, you lummox! You make enough noise to wake the ghosts in this old place. If the nigger hears and—here’s the pin! slowly, now! Wait let's soap the grooves. Now!- Here the speaker stopped, leaned over, and jerked his companion to his feet. The latter had tripped over a stick and fallen headlong onto ?. idle of boards. His flounderings to regain his feet made a dismal racket on the silent night air. At the sound, a half a dozen more men came running up from somewhere out of the gloom, and laughed silently at their leader's anger and Jake’s plight. “Come, you giggling mess of monkeys, get to work ! Light the lantern. Tim, till we find our way around it: this accursed place! The men hastened to obey, and the faint, glim- mering light disclosed the heads of the horses ex- tended over the railing, nervously watching the in- truders. The leader hastened forward, and ex- claimed harshly:— “Aha! here they are. I knew they were around these diggings somewhere, for I saw them dis- appear around the edge of the row of cabins this afternoon.” lie turned. “Find the saddles, Jake. and---” He stopped abruptly and gazed beyond the men to the doorway. Uncle Zeb stood there. i8o THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR His dazed eyes looked first at one, then at the other. Suddenly he comprehended. Ye ain’t gwinc t’ take m’ hawses, air ye? Walter ve come raound hyar? See here, old man, we want your horses, and your horses we're going to have. No fooling and winning, now. War is a hard master, arid we all have to serve him, so quit ye fooling. With a cry of rage and fright, the negro dashed forward and dung himself in front of the two doors. Tak' m' hawses, will ye? Here, v’ thiefs, go somwhar else, but leav’m Diamond and Cryst’l.” Here, Jake and Tim, take a hand. Tie him to the post over there and gag his vap. No time for such notions.

Doan tak’ ’em awa'i Massa, massa, picas’!” The old negro's sobs shook his thin body. His clasped hands and streaming eyes were raised to the captain’s face. He stamped his foot impatiently, and turned a deaf ear to the old man's entreaties. Jake and Tim seized him and quickly bound him to a post. The negro struggled, and his piteous Doan tak' nv hawses, massa,” was heartrending. Soon the gag was forced in his mouth. The leader threw open the gates and led out the ’ - sc . The great creatures seemed to realize something was wrong, and Diamond, as she passed the old negro, whinnied gently and attempted to touch him with her nose. A quick jerk of the rein brought her around, and the high-spirited horse reared at the unaccustomed pressure of the curb. But an iron hand held her. and soon a heavy body mounted to the saddle, and for the first time came the sharp prick of the spur in her side. She made a wild dash for the yard. Crystal following madly. “Cut the nigger’s ropes.” shouted the leader, as Diamond bore him rapidly away. One man did this, and very soon the cavalcade rode out.of the yard on other stolen horses which had been teth- ered under the trees. The next morning, as the sun rose over the east- ern hilltops, a dust-covered, blue-coated captain presented himself before his young superior officer to report the success of a raid for horses. Found them easy enough, and they all came easy ’ccpt at the last place, where a cussed old nig- ger tried to put up a kick. Concocted some fishy story about 'Massa Jack,' and he was for keeping the bosses for him----- Where did you say that was? What kind of a negro? Where arc the horses? Show them to me, quick! Quick, man, 1 tell you!” exclaimed the colonel hotly and excitedly. In his agitation he followed the captain to the place where the. horses were tethered. The captain went among them and led forth the two black horses. Gone were the shining ebony coats; a rough, dusty sweat streaked and furrowed them. Diamond! Crystal! here! The horses turned their heads toward him, and Diamond neighed. The colonel was transformed. He raged and stormed up and down, cursing the man for his cruelty in taking them from the negro. Then he called for his horse, and swore at their slowness in bringing him. Flinging himself to the saddle, he grasped the ropes of the blacks, and rode quickly out of the camp. A half an hour later the same little cavalcade came galloping up the winding avenue of the great white bouse. Quickly dismounting, the colonel hastened to the barn. Uncle Zeb. Uncle Zeb!” he called. No answer. He peered into the stable, then stepped quickly for- ward and bent on one knee over a prostrate figure. Uncle Zeb!” he called again, and laid a trem- bling hand over the old man's heart. ft still was beating, though faintly. A moment later the negro’s eyelids fluttered, and he raised a weak hand as if to ward off a blow. Uncle Zeb, don’t you know me? It’s 'Massa Jack' come home. Look!” Slowly intelligence spread over the face of the negro. Massa Jack cum hum! Dese’s all gon‘, Massa, but me: dey tuk de hawses las’ night ye father tol’ me to keep for vuh.

ELLO,—No. 421 in the office? Send him up at once!” This was the short, sharp message that came over the wire from the managing editor’s office in the Early Star building. Several minutes after, there entered a tall, light-haired youth, who had a manly bearing, IHfc er, n .. '09 and a determined look in his eye that won for him the respect of every one. “Come in. come in. Mr. Pearson. I find I shall have to send you away on special work. The big Forest Mills have shut down on account of the strike. I want you to go there, get the truth of the affair, and be back, if possible, by to-morrow THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR night. You have tact, and that, I am positive, will bring the best results. That is why I send you.” Tiie young man thus complimented blushed and smiled. Thank you, sir; I shall be glad to go,” he said. !u just an hour from this time we find our young friend standing in front of one of the largest mills in the state. The mill yards arc deserted, except for the policemen who are on duty there to keep the buildings from danger. ()n the streets the mill hands are gathered in angry groups, discussing the affair and telling what they are going to have before they go to work again. Mr. Pearson was kept busy taking notes and talking with officials, agents, and mill hands, aim- ing to make his sketch true, and yet interesting. About four o'clock in the afternoon he wandered into a little store and inquired when he could get a train for Boston. Well.” said the clerk, “there is one at ( . 1 . � which is express. Makes one stop at Pillsbury Junction.” I must get that. said Mr. Pearson. Mean- while may I wait here? I have some writing I would like to do.” Mr. Pearson seated himself by the window and procede� ! to write a short, graphic account of what he had learned that day. Al out � o'clock, after talking a few minutes with the clerk, he left the store and started for the station, arriving just in time for the train. He boarded the train, and after settling himself comfortably, he took out his note- book and prepared to read his story. Suddenly there came a shock, then a crash, the splitting and shattering of timbers, the snapping of iron, the breaking of glass, and, above all. the shrieks and moans of human voices. Then all was dark. When Dana Pearson returned to consciousness, lie found himself lying on the damp grass under the starry skies, with a kind face bending over him. and cool, soft hands bathing his head. There were sharp twinges in his shoulder when he tried to move, and pains kept shooting through his body. 181 In faltering accents he said to his nurse: Is there any hope?” I fear not, was the reply in a gentle voice. Is there any message?” The dark eyes lit with a new light as Dana asked feebb : Did you find a note-book with a pencil at- tached?” Yes. was the answer, it was found beside you. and I kept it to identify you by.” Then, with exceedingly painful exertions, he gave certain notes to the young lady about the accident, and requested her to guide his hand while he wrote a few farewell words to his mother. Sc ing a boy standing near, he beckoned feebly for him to come to him Here, sonny,” he said, take these to the near- est telegraph office and tell him to rush them through to the Early Star. Boston.

The operator sprang to the instrument At last the story was ended, closing with those fare- well words to his mother. There was not a dry eye in the room as the operator finished, and the men all realized that they had lost forever one of the best men on the staff. The Early Star that morning contained two spe- cial dispatches which caught every one’s eye. Contrary to the usual customs of the paper, both of these bore the signature of the writer. In the telegram telling the story of the disaster, first in the list of dead and wounded stood the name of Dana Pearson.

ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR � 83 irvv ©ration Charles H. Johnson, 2 .. '07 Mr. President, Faculty. Schoolmates: History repeats itself. A delightful custom brings to- gether, on a day to some of us significant, to others peculiar and signal, the children of our beloved, common mother. Some who it seems but yes- terday were wondering spectators, do now find themselves, by force of time, most unwilling play- ers. But—fondly as we would stray—this is not our theme; duty lays upon us another responsi- bility. History docs not confine itself to one year : nor to ten: nor to ages: it recalls genesis. We said but now: Time is a force.” It is exerted con- stantly and irresistibly, and its point of applica tion is humanity. But two lesser, though most potent, forces opposed to each other find the same conspicuous part: witness but the Roman empire and its rise and fall: the crusades and the age of chivalry, actuated and pervaded by the highest moral sentiment, and the renascences of Hellen- istic influence. Ibis is a progressive age. “Which is the coti- ioiiing influence ?” we at once ask. Our last great revival was one of learning.

A constant oscillation results, or as Matthew Arnold says, Hellenism and Hebraism are the two points between which moves our world. How readily the laws of the material world may be ap- plied. The plaything of our forces, humanity, receives an impulse from one of them, and for one oscillation, during one era. its guiding influence is felt. Humanity welcomes the invigorating im- petus, but later is swayed all unconsciously and carried onward at an ever increasing and some- times ruinous rate until suddenly, and without warning, the inevitable concussion occurs, which awakens the sleeper,—and marks a turning point in history. The duplications of such an oscilla- tion constitute what one. in the largest sense, terms the repetition of history. Time, Hellenism, Hebraism: what is the result? Progress. The counteracting forces play a most we are discovering the very secret of life. But do not our great achievements involve something more? Do not utilitarian tendencies lead to ma- terialism. and. in successive stages, to love of luxury and indulgence? It is not to be denied. The question forces itself upon us: Are we ap- proaching the eve to which the dawn brings moral awakening: is an Hebraistic revival due: or is it the Millenmum?’' Is culture bringing humanity to the brink v, bore the saving power is unavailable or incapable of expression? In the midst of moral depravity, such as the world has more than once experienced, the gates of Dante’s Inferno would yawn so close before us that the step which has no returning would all unconsciously be made. Rather a pessimistic view, but undeniably per- missible. What preparation is being made to stem this tendency? rime is a force over which man has no control. He sometimes makes use of it. but is, in the end, i84 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR its slave. But we say “Men are masters of their fates.” Culture and morals are at our disposal. The former is ours through the efforts of thought- ful forefathers ; the latter is our most valuable in- luntance. Education in this practical and some- what unspiritual age must necessarily be such as will enable its possessor to assume control of the tremendous forces which the past has poured into the present, and to cope with the questions in- volved in the newer applications of those forces and the development of others. Moral ethics find little opportunity to be taught, and what ideals are formed by its help are often lost sight of in the strife for material results. When in Rome do as the Romans do.” The ambitions of men for place and power are com- mendable. providing they are not made an end in themselves. Their attainment offers but a wider field for the man with a true ideal. He considers man's mission to be the help and uplift of others; Life a measure to be filled: not a cup to be drained. Man's mission and ideal alike need fre- quent review, for in the sea of life every man must, as a breadwinner, sail the stream of material re- sults, and star and goal alike arc often lost to view. But courage and unselfishness are favorable winds on that voyage. The former drives away the clouds of disappointment that often obscure our pale star, our ideal. By courage we do not mean physical endurance alone, a quality highly commendable. As the spirit is superior to the dust, so is spiritual endurance to physical endur- ance. Xor do we mean that quality, if such it be. which is productive of that calmness which takes evils or reverses without resistance because of in- difference or lack of a fixed purpose; but what we do mean is that redeeming quality which achieves calmness and tenacity of purpose in spite of dis- appointment. We read that Napoleon had faith in a star that carried him through fifteen years of victory. Of all men, he, perhaps, was best able to dispense with this form of courage. Through all that time he suffered no disappointments. Fortune and genius took tin place of courage. Yet it required only three year; • reverses to change all and forever seal the fate of his cause. Contrast with him a modern hero. C. W. Field, who in a more unsel- fish cause suffered many and seemingly crushing defeats, but through it all maintained faith in the accomplishment of his purpose. Such courage, though incentive to great deeds, may not bring success as the world counts it; nay. often have they brought the one faithful to principle to a martyrs death. But the necessary spirit has been inculcated with others and lives after the martyrs death. His passing does not mean the defeat of his purpose or the principles for which he stood. Oftener has it been but the fore- runner of complete victory. It has been the sig- nal for hundreds to take up the work of the one, and the cause has, in the end, prospered in the same measure as it was right and just. But deeds, such as bring immortality, such as he- roes achieve, do not only require courage in their performance, but must be actuated by the spirit of unselfishness. It is the one trait by which we know heroes, whether their cause be universal or restricted and obscured. It is forgetfulness of self in the cause of others that constitutes the heroic spirit. We realize that the selfish man must, in this age. in attaining desires aid the community in which he moves. But he is easily recognized. He gains constituents, but they are like those of the lucky gambler who throw their lot with his, believing in his fortune and genius, but are bound to him by no bonds whatsoever. His constituency is sooner lost than won. This is a liberty-loving country. This trait, which had its birth here in New England, has been cradled in our wars and developed during peace until now it stands nearer perfect than ever before. Its weakness lies in the field which it offers for evil. The thought that it is not the text of the law. but the spirit which we are to obey and to which we must hold ourselves responsible, is often lost. Be- cause of this liberty we sec daily evidence that the spirit of the self-satisfied Pharisee is still amongst us; the spirit that sees no chance for improve- ment. that thinks the ideal attained when the writ- ten law is fulfilled. But we arc not such. We have not yet fallen into, that sleep of all most fatal, conventionality. Our country is progressive. We find ourselves in possession of forces, which, through accumulation by time, have become enormous, to say the least. To some it is appal- ling. And no slight cause is there for such fear. Liberty and power—it means the defeat of the general welfare at least to put these tools in the hands of selfishness. Nay, more than this, power provides ways for evading what law a lib- erty-loving people have established for their pro- tection. It is a question for the future to answer whether liberty and power spell ruin or prosperity. Classmates: In us lies the answer. Through us will the future speak. Pray God we see our re- sponsibilities. Our task is a hard one, yet be not disheartened. The greater the liberty and power a man enjoys, the greater is the necessity for self-imposed re- strictions which no authority but the spirit of the law and conscience can enforce. Let us keep our ideals, our star, in view, and we shall be equal to our conflict. For what is your life or any man's life but a conflict with foes, the old. the incessant war: but think not the foe shall finally triumph. Be true to your ideal, follow it with unselfish, un- swerving patience, and your ideal shall become the actual. It shall march forth o’ermastering, till all foes lie beneath its feet, and you stand up, the soldier of ultimate victory.” THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 185 IIMsunberetanfcmgs Mill ©ccur ,T6y ibcnrg O. £ ogle, '07 C ■ TVy TULL. began Cousin Ralph, then 1 stopped and looked at his watch. ‘ After a moment of silence (you may { l V-L)) be sure I didn't help him out!). h«. couglted suggestively, and faking oft his gold-rimmed eye-glasses, wiped them carefully on his pocket handkerchief, and re- placed them on his aquiline nose.

He was a college mate of mv father’s, and has known mamma and me so long that we’ve always called him Cousin Ralph, as father used to tell us to do.

But still, he isn’t my only admirer, and I’ll have to pul him off (all the heroines in novels do) and keep him on the anxious seat. Of course mamma would like to have me accept him and settle down (I’m sure mamma likes hhn), but I’m much too young to. marry right awav.

Well,” I broke in (I don't know what made me do it), if mamma has consented, of course I can only say ‘yes too.” Oh. you little dear!” cried Cousin Ralph, his face beaming, and his bald head actually shone like the state house dome. “I’ve a good mind to kiss you right here! My dear little daughter!” “You mustn’t kiss me to-day!” I cried. (Xone of the heroines in Laura Jean Libbey’s and Charles Garvicc’s books let their accepted lovers kiss them the first day.) So T flew upstairs and looked down at him over the banister. “I know we’ll all be happy,” he called up to me. “and we’ll always live together.” “Of course mamma will live with us.’’ I an- swered. and he went away with a puzzled expres- sion on his face. Once alone in mv room, I sat down and thought it all over. How suddenly lie had proposed! He just stood there and stammered, and I had to help him out! I hope T shall learn to love him in time, but I know I could learn to love Harry Higgins much more quickly. Why did he call me his little daughter? I know lie’s old enough to be my father, but he ought not to think of it at a time like that, of all times. What made him look puzzled when I said mamma would live with us? Can it be that, he doesn’t like her? But I’m sure he does, and I know she likes him, too. Finally I read myself to sleep with “Jilted at the Altar” and “Rosalie’s Repentance.” That night I dreamed that Harry Higgins was reproaching me bitterly for nn perfidy. The next morning at breakfast I noticed that mamma looked younger and prettier than ever be- fore. She asked me if Cousin Ralph, (here she blushed divinely� had told me something the pre- vious evening. 1 replied that he had asked my consent to something (I could tell she knew what I meant), and that I had given it.

I detected a strange similarity between mv own case and that of Floribcl Smitbers. in “Jilted at the Altar.” The villain in the story was just like Cousin Ralph.

I entered the yard and stole silently up the walk until I reached the parlor window. I Iere I heard voices through the open window, and. creeping up close, crouched down and listened. First I heard Cousin Ralph's deep voice asking: Where can Ethel be? and my mother answering: 1 suppose she has gone to visit Mrs. Smith; she often stays all night with her.

Then I was struck dumb when mv mother's voice broke in on the stillness, saying: “I can't imagine what's the matter with Ethel lately. She acted very strangely when I asked her if you had broken the news to her: she talked of having me live with her. Why shouldn’t I, if she is to live with us after our wedding?''

The moonbeam brightens the faded crimson cushions and regilds their tarnished fringe. The window's quaint Gothic framework falls in oblique shadows across the vaulted aisle. Ah. since these furnishings first were new. how- many a moonlight night like this has come and gone! How many similar moonbeams have lin- gered lovingly on the crimson damask ere they sought their way across the aisle! How many a set- ting sun has made this same lattice-work of shad- ows on the echoing floor! Alas! crumbled be- neath the green hillock, yonder, beyond the win- dow. must be the artist's skillful hand that wrought this carved and fretted door. And now the worm has done her best to mimic the chisel’s art. In the olden days, how many a courtly knight from yonder hall did lead his train hither and sit in embroidered suit and buckled shoe in his ac- customed place! All reverently has he knelt on the damask cushions, clasping in lily hands the prayer book with hasp and hinge of brass, lettered in old English. The moon has risen fully, and now the moon- beam. long and lonely, streams down the vaulted aisle and illumines the characters on an ancient in- scrintion stone. And there may we behold, as told by hard and icy marble, the story of a Knight and his Lady fair. Side by side they kneel in attitude of prayer, their hands uplifted on their breasts. He is clad in armor and wears a serious, almost mournful, ex- pression : she is in the quaint costume of the days of yore. Set forth in the order of their death, next, are depicted their children, devoutly kneel- ing by their parents’ sides as if to atone for all past misdemeanors by saying endless prayers in mar- ble. Those mellow days have almost disappeared in the dim past, and more recent generations in di- rect descent from this old knight have filled his stately pew, only at last to follow in the same succession and occupy the vaults below. I5ut now the polished, modern squire and his train fill the old seats with “belle and beau” just as it used to be. Perchance, as they thoughtlessly tread this vaulted aisle and hollow-sounding floor or kneel on these same damask cushions, they fail to remember that some day the sable train in wonted state shall wind slowly down the village street and halt before this very extrance, ere this dark house of kindred dead shall receive to silent rest another of their number. And when their race is swept away mayhap this same moonbeam shall illuminate their inscription stones, while other new and fresh faces shall fill the old deserted pew.

Or could it be a castle in the air. A picture only to be gazed upon. Or did it mean that I. myself, should bear A part in labors only just begun. Thus deeply lost in thought, and pond’ring where My place and path therein perchance should be. A small and kindly voice did bid me “hear”— The voice was that of Opportunity. And thus in truth it spake: They do me wrong Who say I come but once to ev’ry man, For to each day and hour I do belong. And ever have since first the earth began. ”1 stand and list without your chamber door, I wait and watch for you with cv'ry day. And whether you be blessed with goods or poor, 1 will be there and wait for you for aye. ‘T wait but to be close embraced, good friends, I pray you take me near unto your heart. And ii my future dim you then can trace, You’ll find in this great world your place and part. And though at times to you I may seem lost, I yet will come and show myself again— Each time perhaps at greater, dearer cost. And garbed in strange and widely varied mien. “But with me always are my trusted friends, And to them you with faith must ever cling. And if our beck and call you'll but attend Success with us forsooth to you we’ll bring. “These friends,—Experience. Courage, aye and Hope, Fair Industry, and Soberness, and Truth. Stern, sturdy, ardent, faithful, ever strong, They come to greet you frequently in youth. If well received and cherished safe and warm. Your friendship they will amply then repay. They'll keep me safe untouched bv any harm, And never will they let me slip away. “Wail not if Failure bars at times your way. Let Courage, Truth, and Hope therein attend. Bid Industry direct you day by day. And let Experience formulate the end. Success will gladly then your efforts crown, And these my constant, tried, and willing friends Will show you that they are your very own, That Opportunity then never ends.” And so again I woke to life's real work, My dream, a lesson new for me to learn,— That goals are all before us in this world And in our paths lie many ways to turn. Be ever on the lookout for the chance, Seek Opportunity, then hold it fast, And with all might and heart your work pursue: Success awaits ahead: forget the past. If Opportunity seems hard to find. Elusive, hazv, dim. and far away, Call out the efforts of its many friends, And it will come anew to you each day. The God in 1 leaven above by 1 lis great laws To gentle Moses on Mount Sinai given. Lays down the method of our dailv course— Success in life on earth is life in Heaven. Success means not alone great wealth and power. Or that which makes for worldly gain and gold, But in our work let character be shown, With purpose high,—nobility of soul. So when in earthly hour our lives shall end. It shall be said of each of us in love, He labored not for self, but all mankind, And earned his treasure in the world above.” With experience gained from varied source. With righteous law and soberness bes'de. We can. with rising hope, the future face. And never fear that which it may betide. As in our school good friends we've found them all, So now beyond its tender care shall we Remember that in storm, or change, or joy, Life’s greatest gift is Opportunity.

'07 A band of pilgrims, wo started To travel a long, weary road: Our footsteps dragged heavily onward, For each one carried a load. Oli. heavy indeed was this harden. There seemed to be little of cheer, Yet no thought of falt'ring or turning Marred the journey that duty made clear. Now we all were like pilgrims accoutred, Each bearing a staff in his hand. V. hile a purse at his belt was suspended. And a volume closed tight with a band. 13ut this purse with a buckle was fastened,— We could not open it wide Till we had mastered the buckle. So we knew not what was inside. The clasps of the book. too. were stiffened, Its contents we only might guess. Till use should soften its fastenings, And teach us its true worthiness. So we kept on our journey with patience, With our staff, and our purse, and our book, And our burden, till soon on the pathway We came to a pleasant outlook. And here were a band of kind people. Whose hearts were gentle and good. Who. when they saw we were weary. Offered refreshment and food. Then gladly we rested beside them. As they taught us from out of tlkir store Many things of the way and the journey That we never had known of before. The use of our purse and our volume They taught as we sat at their feet. That the clasps were made hard but to test us. And prepare us for dangers we’d meet. Thus we stayed many weeks with these helpers, Each day saw us better prepared To meet the stern perils of travel When forth on our journey we fared. And when the day came for the parting, It seemed, that we never could go And leave these good friends behind us. Who had helped ami encouraged us so. But we knew that the road that we followed Was straight, and not one might delay, So we shouldered our burden right bravely, And steadily moved on our way. Thus we followed our course with rejoicing Toward the pathway that beckoned us on. And the Long Road was ever before us, With its end at the low-setting sun Now is not our life like a journey?. And is not our strength like a staff? With its help should we not struggle onward, And meet all our woes with a laugh? And what may indeed be our conscience Hut 9 book, where we read with clear light, And learn to see with new meaning The good, the true, and the right Ami as for the purse and its contents.— Tis the mind, and the only store Whence we may. for the needs of the journey, Draw all we can use, and e’en more.

F00T13ALL TEAM THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 195 We greatly regret the loss of Charles E. Cuddy, who has so successfully coached the various ath- letic teams at Somerville High School, and who will enter upon a new athletic career next fall at Malden High School, where he has been offered a position as teacher and athletic instructor. This news, although not entirely unexpected, will be unpleasant to the athletes of the red and blue and their thousands of supporters. Mr. Cuddy has been coach for half dozen years, and during that period the school has developed several championship teams. They will now be obliged to look for a new coach for the next foot- ball season. Last year an effort was made to hire a physical director at $1,200 a year, with the in- tention of giving Mr. Cuddy the position. The board failed to endorse the movement, hence Mr. Cuddy’s decision to seek employment elsewhere. Several months ago he received an offer from the Brockton school board, which was not accepted because Mr. Cuddy prefers to remain nearer home. Last December, shortly after the football game with Boston English High School at the National League grounds, it was rumored that Cuddy would discontinue his services as coach of the Somerville High School athletic teams unless the Somerville school committee voted to give him a position as instructor and increase his salary. While he has coached the athletic teams at the Somerville School, the Athletic Association of the High School has paid him. not the city of Somer- ville. Leo 1 lafford may be Cuddy’s successor, as he has had considerable experience in coaching high school football and baseball teams. Another person who may be persuaded to accept the Somerville High position is Xat Tufts, present coach at Waltham. The position left vacant bv Mr. Cuddy’s resigna- tion is said to be sought by several candidates. Among the names most prominently spoke i of arc: Clifford Lewis, now coaching Brockton; Leo Haf- ford. who is looking after the football coaching in especial; Xat Tufts, of Waltham: and Allen Dick- inson. now at Brown. Mr. Dickinson was a star while at High School, both in football and base- ball. and at Brown he has made a name for him- self in both sports. He graduates this year, and it is said that he would accept a position as teacher in the High School, with the understanding that he would coach the teams in the afternoons. Somerville, 0 ; lRinOtic, 2 Somerville High opened its interscholastic athletic league season Saturday. May 25. by de- feating Rindgc Manual Training School. � to 2. in a game full of brilliant plays, on the Broadway- athletic grounds, Somerville. Harry Munroe, the star Somerville twirler. pitched a splendid game, striking out fourteen of the Rindge batters and not allowing a safe hit until the sixth inning, when Hugelman broke the ice by- singling to centre field. One of the best catches witnessed on the Broad- way field in many seasons was made by Hooper, the Somerville right fielder, in the eighth inning, when Raymond drove out one that looked safe. He picked it up just before it was about to strike the ground, after a long run, and doubled up Morgan at first. Bowlby gave a splendid exhibition behind the THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 196 hat and hit the ball on the nose for two hits. Hooper was the banner batsman of the day. con- necting for three singles. Captain Sharry and Garland hit the ball well. lien James, the first baseman for Rindge, made the longest drive of the afternoon, in the ninth, it going for three bases into deep centre field. Ma- honey was robbed of a long hit in the fourth by a nice catch by. Hugelman close to the left field fence. •Somerville went after Webber, the Rindge pitcher, in the opening inning, and in short order scored two runs. McLaughlin opened the game with a single. Hooper hit safely, and on Bowlby’s sacrifice each runner moved up one. Captain Sharry did his best to hit safe, but sent a long one out to Raymond, on which McLaughlin scored. Wheeler singled and was left on base on Ma- honey's out to Hugelman, Hooper scoring. Somerville again hit Webber in the fifth. Mun- roe surprising the fans by sending the ball to right field. McLaughlin was out to Skilton on a pop fly and Munroe scored on Hooper's single to right. Bowlbv followed with a safe one. and Cap- tain Sharry hit a clean one to centre, scoring Hooper. Sharry was caught napping by Webber to O’Brien, and Wheeler went out, Hayes to James, closing that inning. Nothing more was doing until the seventh, when Somerville again came to the front. Mc- Laughlin was safe on O’Brien’s mishap, and took second on Hooper's third hit of the game. Bowlbv got a Texas leaguer over short, scoring McLaughlin, and Hooper tried to score on the same play, but was thrown out at the plate by Hugelman to Morgan. Sharry then hit to left field. Hugelman making a good effort to land it. The next two batters went out. O’Brien to James, ending the run getting for Somerville. In the last four innings Rindge succeeded in making its only four hits of the game, one being a triple by James. The score:— Somerville....................2 0 0 0 2 0 2 0 —6 Rindge.......................0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0—2 Borcbester, 4; Somerville, 3 Before one of the largest crowds ever assem- bled at Broadway field. Somerville, Thursday. May 30, the Somerville High team went down in defeat by the pennant chasers from Dorchester. The score was 1 to 3, Somerville’s last two runs being made in tin- ninth. A number of causes contributed to make the game a Dorchester vic- tory. but chief among them was the fact that Munroc, Somerville’s best pitcher, was out of con- dition. Early in the week he caught cold in his arm, and the result was a lameness of the elbow joint that prevented him from having any control. This accounted for his having no strike-outs for the first five innings and for his poor control, result- ing in six bases on balls. In the first inning Munroc gave a base on balls, and Bowiby's poor throw sent the man to third, where he was left. In the second Somerville got a man to third on a hit and an error, but he failed to get home. In the third Dorchester got two runs, making them on an apparent hoodoo for Somerville, caused by the entrance of Mayor Fitz- gerald. of Boston. Munroc gave a base, was hit for a single, and two runs came in for the visitors, with the assistance of Mitchell’s and McLaughlin’s errors. Somerville’s usual lucky seventh proved an un - fortunate one. Hooper started well with a thrcc- bagger along first base line. Bowlbv struck out, and Sharry pushed out at short stop, apparently beating it out to first am taking second on Dor- chester's play that held Hooper at third. To every one’s surprise Empire Slincy called Sharry back and told him he was out. Captain Sharry protested, but to no purpose. W heeler’s single sent Hooper homo with one run. but Sharry s run was needed to tie. In the ninth Dorchester struck luck. Fraser hit what looked safe, but Mitchell gathered it in after a wonderful run. Delaney drew a pass, stole sec- ond. and reached third on Bowiby's error. Three pretty singles followed that brought in Delaney and Daly with two runs, and left two men 011 bases, until Munroc stopped the trouble by a strike-out. With the score i to 1. Somerville came up to win, and but for poor coaching she would have done so. With only one man out. Hooper hit a scorching single to centre field, who let it go through him. and as he chased it. Hooper romped on to third. He tried to stop here, but .Mahoney sent him home, only to die some feet from the home plate. The chance was a foolish one. with but one man out and good batters coming. An error by Riley, a passed ball and singles by Sharry and Wheeler sent in two runs, but with one run needed to tic Wheeler was caught trying to steal second. On individual playing Somerville excelled. Al- though Munroe was not in condition to pitch, he pluckily stuck it out. and his record of six assists w ith no errors shows that he was a stumbling block in the way of Dorchester’s favorite bunt and run game. Hooper made some difficult catches and fielded finely. Mitchell had many difficult throws to handle at first, but did well, and gathered in one fly that looked as if it had gone by him. Wheelei’s stick work was also worthy of notice. The umpir- ing was far from satisfactory. Murphy on balls and strikes put up good work, but Slincy. who handled the bases, made some bad decisions, and Somerville got the bad end of them all. The score:— Dorchester High..O 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 0—1 Somerville High.,.0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 2—8 Somerville, S ; English fciflb, 2 Somerville High won another game in the Inter- scholastic League series Saturday afternoon. June 1. on Broadway field. West Somerville, easily de- feating Boston English High, s to 2. Somerville showed much improved form over that displaced Memorial Day. when Dorchester High won in the narrow' margin of one run. Till-: SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 97 Munroe pitched good hall, and was able to con- trol the curves and drops tar better than in the Dorchester game. I le was hit in his left arm when he was at bat in the second inning, and the blow was so severe that an abrasion of the skin resulted. He wont to the bench to have his injury attended, and because he did not first go to first base, the visitors claimed lie was out. and all went to the bench on the assumption that the claim would be allowed and the third out made. An argument with the umpire began, which lasted for ten minutes, but the claim was not al- lowed. Davis, who was sent in to pitch for the visitors, gave evidence in the second inning that lie was not long for the work. He passed up Sharrv and Wheeler, and contributed a wild pitch, which, with a passed ball that came near being another wild pitch, put Sharrv and Wheeler on third and second. They both came home when Mahoney rapped out a three-bagger to left centre. Mahoney scored on Mitchell's out. In the next, inning Davis wilted entirely. Hooper hit for two bases, and was neatly sacrificed to third by Bowlby. Davis couldn’t find the plate, and Sharrv and Wheeler walked. On a wild throw to third to catch Hooper napping, the latter and Sharrv scored. Mahoney walked, and then McLean went in to pitch. Mitchell hit a hard one to Kelley at third, and it went through his hands, Mahoney scoring. English High scored its two runs in the fourth. Wiley threw Brophy’s bunt high to Mitchell. Kelly singled, and both were advanced on Craig's sacrifice. Kiely struck out. but Captain Sharrv at second for Somerville threw McLean’s sharp hit wide to Mitchell, and Brophy and Kelly tallied. Somerville scored two runs in the eighth. Mc- Laughlin singled and stole second. He came home on Hooper's single, and the latter went to third on a wild pitch. Bowlby fouled out. Sharrv fanned, but Hooper tallied when Wheeler singled. English High looked dangerous in the ninth. Kiely singled, and was advanced by McLean’s sac- rifice. lie was caught at third while attempting to steal by a pretty throw by Bowlby to W iley. McKenna and Parle singled, but were left on bases when Kendrick died out to Wheeler. Somerville High outclassed English High in every department of the game, and although it has lost a game to Dorchester, it will undoubtedly make a strong bid to divide the championship honors with Dorchester. The two teams will clash again next Saturday afternoon in Dorchester, and on the result of that game will depend the chances of Somerville for tying up the championship.

At Dunbar-avenue grounds Somerville High defeated Dorchester High in a twelve-inning, very exciting, close game. 2-0, Saturday. June S. This victory now gives the Red and Blue an advantage to the pennant. Mahoney, the Somerville left-fielder, prevented Frazer securing a triple in the last of the twelfth, when he nailed the ball close to the left-field ropes. Somerville started bad, McLaughlin and Bowlbv muffing easy ones, but they steadied down and. played a line game throughout. Munroe was hit quite freely at the outset, but none of the hits proved disastrous. Three or four times he was in a bad hole, but by clever hcadwork he managed to pull himself out. Spaulding pitched a fine game for Dorchester. ilev, Somerville’s third baseman, made a beau- tiful stop in the eighth oft Keenan's wicked drive, which would have gone for three bases, but he could not recover in time to catch him at first. Somerville made an effort to score in the fourth. McLaughlin had flied out to Iloernlc. Hooper singled to left, and Bowlby hit to the same place. Sharrv Hied out to Keenan. Wheeler was passed, filling the bases, but Mahoney (lied out to centre. Dorchester gave the Somerville rooters a fright in the eleventh, when Keenan led off with a single, stole second, and was safe on third on Hocrnlc's scratch hit. Hocrnle took second on the first ball, and it looked as if Dorchester would place the game on the ice here. Riley struck out. Cruikshank made a good effort, but was thrown out. Sharrv to Mitchell, making two out and two men on bases. Munroe then worked hard, and succeeded in fan- ning Conley. The excitement started for Somerville in the first of the twelfth, when Hooper led off with a single to left field, which was followed by Bowlby's slow bit down to Conley, which the latter could not get to first ahead of him. Hooper going to second. Spaulding, however, by a quick move caught Hooper napping at second. Then Captain Sharrv proved the «ran of the mo- ment by driving out a fine three-bagger to left field along the third base line, scoring Bowlby. On a “squeeze” play, with Wheeler at the bat and Sharrv on third, the iatter scored the second run. Ma- honey then went out to Keenan on a long fly. Dorchester came in hopeful, but could not land on Munroe, who had been getting stronger inning by inning, and went out in one, two, three ordei.

I’he silence throughout the room was oppressive. On the face of each member of the class tlitre was a strained and tense look of expectation. Even the teacher was nervous. At last a sigh of relief went up, for L------had sneezed. Hie editor wishes to thank all who have con- tributed notes to this column while it has been under his charge, and humbly asks pardon for any offence given bv his notes. He trusts that the class will remember only the good things that have ap- peared. and forget all the rest. The class of 1907 will soon be no more. Some of us will go to college, others will enter business life, but all of us will always take pride in being known as alumni of the Latin School. The mem- ory of the Latin School, of its head master and faculty, of the principles it has instilled will ever re- main fresh in our hearts; and so wc cannot say good-by. but only An revoir.” ’OS Alien G. Hooper, Class Editor. On the morning after defeat, our bright, witty, and susceptible classmate, Jacob, was wandering discontentedly through the corridors. Suddenly an inspiration seizes him. and hastily stealing a hat pin from the dressing room, he bursts into Room 35. Brandishing this formidable weapon before him, lie rushes into a group of lx vs, and in a voice tinged with sadness and the sorrow that comes from defeat, in melancholy tones he shouts forth : “Boys.

The memory of this last short stay Will linger bright for many a day. How can they stand it for another year? It is far too small and always crowded. We surely need a new one if reports are true. No. not the school, only a new mirror for the second-floor girls. The editor wishes to thank all those who have assisted him in keeping our class column up to standard.

Poor Hopk—s. We heartily sympathize with you because you arc sleepy. We know that you study late, and then those chalk talks are dry. Notice.—Guard against getting excited, because you are then temporarily insane, according to Winn. ’OS Harry Rolfc, Class Editor. How many would wish the hand of Time turned back a month? But most of us, I fancy, would hold to their old course, like the man. who, a failure in life, when changed to his first state, grew up in precisely the same familiar rut. Some classes abound in students who illustrate lateral extension. Ours develops ’em the other way. Just think of the dear little angels we’ll have in the Freshman class next year. Proverbs:— Love me. love my Teddy bear. A penny (other) wise! drake-sandwich foolish! G1—den is ever raving about hen-pecked men! Can it be------? Samuel S. says lie is going to plug next year. Be careful, though, Sam. Keb-----is not so narrow as he was formerly— in his views, we mean. Who cuts vegetation with a razor? None but an ex-surgeon (Ekser—n) would be so un-scien- tific. O Lord, how long! But a few more weeks. Teacher: Why did Benjamin Franklin leave home?

N. P .: The same student buying our prune pie’’ as a stimulant. In European military schools the students arc known by numbers. We can imagine a worthy master giving this startling summons: “Come seven! Come eleven! Throw twenty-three in the guard house.” Preston looks more intelligent every day. Thank goodness, Olin and Frost have gotten through their course in chemistry without blowing themselves up. Ekser—n in I.

Immediately Jake buries it in Ripley’s epidermis. In consequence Master Ripley has had his hand in rags for the past month. Heard in Greek (Marlow translating): “Clopritas. who had a very loud voice, in silence spoke as follows.” The other day T—d received a slight flesh wound by accidentally running his fingers over the crease t in his trousers. Farewell. 1901 ! We wish you the best of suc- cess in your new life. Class organization: President. Herbert V. Field; vice-president, Harold L. Etheridge; secretary and treasurer, Isabel M.

Teacher (sniffing suspiciously): Where docs all this gas come from?” Tcad (looking up): “From the electric lights.” Voice: “What’s the matter with that window?” Wise l’upil (brilliantly): It’s got the blues.” Teacher: On the whole, was Nero a good or a bad emperor?” McLean (emphatically): “Yes,” No.” Teacher: What is Boyle’s Law?” Scholar: No money down.” Tcad: How is a Freshman like a baseball?” Etheridge: Well, how is he? Look out for the joke, boys.” Tead: “Because he’s always round.” In this column I wish to express due thanks to all those who during the past year have passed in any notes, especially Etheridge and Maulsby, who. acting jointly, have produced one note. At a recent class meeting it was voted to expend the sum of seventy-five cents to purchase the Seniors a game of Tiddledy-winks, in order that their childlike cravings for sport may be appeased. '09 Arthur G. Pitman, Class Editor. The S. O. R. Club held its annual meeting in its historic ciubroom. After business transactions, light refreshments were served, consisting of doughnuts and ice cream. One of the teachers was present. Sa—er would like to ask the class if he lisps when he says, “Fusthv, Pusthy”? I am glad to say that there is one person in our class who has tried to make the Radiator a suc- cess. Guess who it is. Did anybody hear a noise that shook the city for miles around? Don’t be alarmed, it was only Mcr—y sneezing. Miss Hath—y and Miss Side---------om, the class twins, have a good deal to say to a boy about Me—r's size. One of Bill Ea—n's jobs is to see that the stray- dugs get out safely. He with his friend, who car- ries a ruler, have taken naturally to that job ever since school began. The girls’ baseball team is fast rounding into shape. Ibis is due to the excellent coaching of their veteran south-paw, Miss Cus-------g. Miss J—cs. captain and third baseman of the ball team, seems to take great interest in pictures of S. J., etc. Ask her about them. Don’t. Oh, Brine, Brine, Brine, what makes you feel so ill every pleasant day?” Let us hope you arc not in love. The class is well represented on the diamond by Garland, who at third base has been playing a snappy game. Did you ever see Bac—us in his baseball suit? He is a dream. So is B------n. Crushed fruit in the line of a few stray bananas make fine eating, says Nate. This is a joke, please laugh. Howe, the walking dictionary, is at present writ- ing a story, entitled Nobody Loves Mali. Listen, my classmates, and you shall hear Of a club in naught-nine that all persons fear. There is Sawyer, Messer. Pitman, and MacDonald, too, Always together, although only a few. They debated a while as to which name was best, And finally decided that they were the Sons of Rest. ’10 A. II. Sanborn, Class Editor. On Friday. May 17. at the first recess, a class meeting was In Id. at which Harry Greenwood was elected to represent the Freshman class on the committee which will elect next year’s Radiator staff. President Hatch showed his business capa- bilities by conducting the work with such despatch that the meeting lasted only about one minute. R----ce is a star in algebra. Sew—1 has many interesting experiences to re- late concerning his recent visit to Hull. F----les is a professional at making eyes. If only P—man were not so bashful!

We noticed most of the girls turned their May Radiator upside down. Such a School for Scan- dal! One young lady told us that she docs love Drowning. Asked why, she said that he is so deep, don’cher know: sometimes you have to study a page a whole hour in order to get the meaning. Poor Browning! Some Seniors were observed weeping the other day.

The hearty thanks of the editor are due to those few who have supported him so well: as for the others—let it pass; two more years arc coming in which they may wake up. Also we thank those who have borne with a patient shrug our attempted jokes at their expense. Everyone understands the spirit of this humor. Class officers this year: Willard II.

Did someone say Pro—tor could play ball? B—r—o v says he could learn Latin quicker than German. O—ver says he is going to Dartmouth. We hope that the class meetings will be attended a little better next year. Look at B-----’s vest pocket if you wish to sec a good illustration of a stationery store. Seaburv says he is not getting bald-headed; he was born that way. What a certain - first year division thinks it knows is not worth knowing. There is nothing which it does not think it knows.” This is an example of Sophomore gram- mar found in the waste barrel. Memories of childhood’s happy days came back to all who took manual training when they had clay modeling. Everyone should ask himself the following ques- tion :— What color of ink does the teacher use most for me?” Look at your report and see. There is a boy in our class, and he is wondrous wise, lie dickers with all chemicals and mixes up all dyes. Now, if by chance we lost this boy, we all would sorry be, For we could go to him no more to dvc out our red “D’s.” A happy vacation for all. ------------------------ Xatm Iftotcs [Continued from page 202.)

Club, which for three years has been prominent in the English High School, will make its adieu this June. Its one great object has been to promote the social interests among the young women of the class of 1907. During the first year of its existence the club gave a gentlemen's night at the Somerville golf clubhouse. Later in the year the girls attended the theatres in a body. This year the club has worked hard socially, and the result has been an old- fashioned candy pull held at the home of Wynifrcd Lawrence in December, and a very successful dance in March at the Newtownc club, Cambridge. The girls are planning to end this year gloriously bv dining at the Adams House and later visiting a popular theatre. The active membership includes the following: Florence Douglass, president: Agnes Loth, vice- president; Marguerite Nichols, secretary; Mar- garet Russell, treasurer: and Brunette Preston, Maud Ricker. Wynifrcd Lawrence. Honorary member, Edith Prevost. ---------------------------- IPbt Blpba On Friday, September the twenty-eighth. Assembled six young girls To talk over schemes for the coming year And plan for winter’s whirls. Phi Alpha was their honored name, With president, Katherine Foote, And all that day they thought and thought, ‘Till finally plans took root. Then in December came the fun. For in the Christmas week The girls, the old” ones joyfully took And the theatre did they seek. A few days later still more fun. The chafing-dish brought to light, And all made merry for a while On the usual gentlemen’s night. In April came the grand event. But surely we need not say, It was the dance, and with such success Every one of our bills we could pay. In about a month the air became .As though charged with electricity, And all the girls of the Junior class Were wondering Who will they be?” 'The lucky six soon found their notes, And then their troubles began, For they had to do all sorts of stunts. From Susie down to Anne. Now the good times soon must come to a close, As they always have to do, But the old” girls will always remember the fun From the pass-word of oyster stew.” The lucky six were the Misses Bradbury, Gridlcy, Lovering, Pilsburv, McDonald, and Ware, who have taken the place of the Misses Foote, Ilansconi, Hallcti.

If you follow this rule you will soon turn to simple, wholesome foods, e ting less meat than before, but getting more good from what you eat. Your favorite foods will be brown bread, fresh butter, milk and cream, eggs, cereals, fruits, etc. Take tea and coffee if they agree with you; if not try milk and cocoa. Ninety per cent of our physical and mental sickness comes from the stomach, and is caused by bolting heavy, indigestible foods. No one is so irritable as a dyspeptic, and the ills induced by unwise eating make us disagreeable to our friends and militate against our prosperity and happiness. If you have been eating rich foods, make a trial of GRIOLEY'S restaurants, and finan- cially and physically benefit yourself by eating pure, perfectly prepared foods at low prices. The man or woman who eats sensibly and properly is taking the first step towards cleanness of body and mind and the establishing of a firm moral tone. Young men and women, living away from home, are advised to engage a room, and enjoy the freedom and convenience of getting their meals at GRIOLEY’S at all hours instead of enduring the poor cooking and restrictions of the boarding house table.
