SANBORN. M0 72 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIAL'S As prophesied in our last issue, the question oi the abolition of fraternities and sororities has arisen in Somerville, and the following extract is the re- sult of the school board’s discussion :— “The question of the influence of secret societies in high schools is being discussed very generally throughout the country, especially in the West, 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 useiessness, their undemocratic nature, the false standard they erect in opposition to the ideals of 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.” 'flic 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 11)05: “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 be the first to respond to an appeal for help. Seniors: few short months, astonishingly short months, and—can you realize it?—our High School course will be finished. Congenial friends will separate, perhaps never to meet again. Our care- free. irresponsible boyhood and girlhood days will have come to an end. and before 11s will be life’s great battle to fight, a contest which is sometimes won, but more often lost. It is a serious matter, Seniors, and is worthy of serious consideration. Are you prepared for the fray? Can you fight a winning battle? If not. make these few last months worth while. Make them a period upon which you may never look with regret. a r r The recent outbreak of scarlet fever in Somer- ville had at first all the features of an epidemic. The efficiency of the Roard of Health, however, came to the rescue, and the alarm predominating at one time amongst the residents has somewhat subsided. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 73 We cordially add our regrets to those the Rindge Manual Training School must feel in its loss of Head Master Morse. Mr. Morse has been ap- pointed, by Governor Guild, to the responsible and desirable position of secretary of the Industrial Commission. Mr. Morse has been an enthusi- astic. efficient teacher. We. as his neighbors, arc sorry to lose him. K . One day no school. Too cold! Next day no heat. Too warm! Rather a curious combination of weather, isn’t it? « K The March R diator will be devoted to articles of interest to the alumni. Contributions are earn- estly solicited from any member of the alumni, and ill be very gratefully received. --------------------------------- Resolutions V hereas, by the Divine will of our Heavenly Father, the bcioved sister of our friend and instruc- tor.

ID., '07 Within a little cottage, Bordered by the street. There dwelt a pretty maiden Both affable and sweet. 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, She’d answer with a smile:— “Of course, 1 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 are 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 sweetlv 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, lie seemed less sorry than at first, And was but glad to stav. So thus it went for many months; At length with joy he 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 tbc Campfire -TSv m.

I always did like that story,” said Edward Robinson; in fact, f might vl say, I was brought tip on it.” yJL 1 The first time I heard it.” inter- rl,ptC(i Fatty Gibbs, “I really enjoyed it ; but that was in 1801, and I have heard it seven times since then.” These remarks were made as the result of the storv about the man who invented a flv-trap, told by Maurice Thompson. 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 family 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 the 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 open, and heard steps coming up the stairs. As she thought it was her neighbor, she said: ‘Come right in, Mrs. Wilkins.’ “But the steps passed by her door, which was shut, and continued to the end of the corridor. Then they 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 bv 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 hens, and Frank was left alone in the house. His 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. Why. 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- merly 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 boldly 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 shuffling 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 page si.] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 75 H monopoly of 3fort£ HJears Ego 36 $ Ellen 1R. holmes, E.t '07 N an office on Albany street, Boston, bearing the name of “Mead Bond, Lumber,” over the door, a middle- aged gentleman was sitting at his 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 vou 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 $1.5.000 if the school was not ready for oc- cupancy bv September 1. That gives him only about two months. He could do it all right if lie had the hard pine. He threatened to buy of Curtis Pope if we could not supply him. 1 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 Sc 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.” Weil, Curtis «S; 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. The “Mermaid” had sailed two days before the “Mary Jane.” but the latte 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 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. 1 en 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. lacksonville 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 wail 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, tour. 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. lie counted the minutes till he came within hail of the others. lie 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 bdstle of preparation among the fleet. The tug. a dirty, dingy boat, came alongside. Leangle stepped to 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 threw 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- gram 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 “Marv 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. It T can only get out this afternoon,” thought Captain Rich. “1 can be well on the home trip by to-morrow morning.” He hurried to the lower end of the town and found Leangle playing with a dirty pack of cards and some boon companions in the back room of a shop. Captain Rich called him aside and asked 76 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR if he 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. “Mow much will you give me?” he said. Fifty dollars,” said the captain. “Xot by a long shot,” said the Spaniard. Fifty-five.” “Xo.” Sixtv.” 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 heavilv- 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 sav. “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 are 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 coining down. Finally, after struggling for a couple of weeks, Leangie took time and money to go to I'hiladclphia 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. Xow. Mr. Leangle, the terms on which I withdraw the tugs are as follows: You must pay back to me what I gave to you when you unjustly demanded salvage, pay what 1 have paid for the service of the tugs, and promise to act decently in the future, for I shall keep my eyes on you.” And how much will that be?” said Leangle with a sinking heart. 'I'he 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 he. “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. Drexell’s terms. There was no chance for a lawsuit, for anyone might compete with him for the towing. I 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. About five o’clock one morn- [ Continued on pjige 87.) THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 77 TLhc Convict Oi£� va treat� , os ARLY in his life Erastus Rawley ac- quired the nickname, “Rat, which was doubly applicable, as it was not only a shortened form of his given name, but was a word that summed up in three letters all his characteris- tics. You have no doubt heard some person spoken of as an “old rat, and Rawley was an old rat, save for the fact that he was only about twenty- eight years old. 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 temporarily 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 checks were emaciated and pale. His head was prematurely bald, and his hands shook and twisted nervously. Such was the pitiful condition of Rat when he started to serve a twcnty-fivc-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, he 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 see 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 of 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 4c 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. 'Hie doctor was a precise man, who believed in doing everything bv habit, and just the way it had been done for years, so when lie had finished his outside practice, at ex- actly thirtv minutes after four cverv afternoon, his horse, a fiery animal, which he had driven for ten vears, 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 lie had begun to practice. These duties per- formed. lie proceeded to the hospital, where he quickly examined the patients, made a suggestion heie, wrote a prescription there, held a short con- sultation with the matron, and was in his buggy driving out oi the yard beforeone 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 plSns for escape. But had anyone watched him closely he would have seen that every morn- ing, while he 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 ear by way of concealment. Every day this happened; every day Rat pulled out a few white hairs, concealed them in his car. ■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 vears; 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, by the conspiracy of the hates, 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 the other side of the yard, and moreover was so wrapped up in his work that he could not hear his departing horse. It was by this time quite dark, and as it had be- gun to rain, it was net 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 lie 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 itad 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 lie had succeeded in 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 lie was being punished. Boss,” he explained, I 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. 1 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 I sec 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.” lie bowed and immediately began to replace the barrel-head, and when it was securely fastened he turned 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. He was doing his best to keep afloat when a large hogshead appeared in front of him. lie made several attempts to straddle it. and finally succeeded. Then on this as a life-raft he floated at last to the island from which the reef receives its name. When the storm and its attendant darkness had cleared away, Rat was seized with a curiosity to as- certain the contents of the barrel, and after much labor he managed to break through four staves. But, as these did not let in light enough, he tore out four more and eagerly peered into the aperture. His gaze lasted but a moment, a brief second Rat. the hardened sinner, did what he had not done since he was an innocent little boy—he wept. Truth is stranger than fiction; for in that [ Continued on page 80.] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 79 tCbe Momen of 3apan J6x lEft'te ID. IRttcbic, IE., ’07 UST at this time, when the eyes of alt the world are turned to Japan, a glance at her people may not come 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 are so womanly—kind, gentle, faith- ful, and pretty. And yet they arc little appreciated by their native people, and is it any wonder that they are trying 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! The 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 oi 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 are 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 a1 pres- ent, which is duly acknowledged and a present re- turned by messenger. The baby’s dress is very simple—much like the kimona of the grown-ups. All baby’s clothes arc 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 Tokio, 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 arc very fond of fairy- tales. and will listen to grandmother or the nurse for a long time to hear about the Peach Boy” or of some terrible monster. Occasionally they spend all day at the theatre, seated on the floor in a box. '{’hey 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 friends tcils 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, and 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 arc 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 writing, 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 characterises. 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 all 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- raphy, history, 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 hcrseli. 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- cides 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 ours. 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 () 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 arc made by the go-betweens, who are 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 (the native wine distilled from rice), and has no l eligious 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 seems too bad that a Japanese girl has to give up her pretty name for one that does not seem nearly so appropriate to us. Their names arc typical of their natures, for these charming girl. have such maiden names as Miss Springtime. Miss Sunshine. Miss Chrysanthemum, or Miss Cherry- blossom. Hut 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: i 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 are 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 are 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 we arc 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.” tlbe Convict [Continued from page 7S.) 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 liad 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- feretli 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. Oh. to get, to retain, to be filled with such love! “If I could only get it! Oh. love! Oh. love! save me.” So prayed Erastus Rawley.

Mrs. Clarkson was especially averse to re- maining in the house, even for that night. So they agreed to dress themselves and hitch no the horse and drive over to the Wilkins' home- stead. and there seek shelter. 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 Ibelping Ibant� By? jflDarion HE 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 young 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. I wonder what he’s doing around here. He doesn't know much. His father told him he would disin- herit him if he didn’t go to Harvard and behave like a gentleman, and what did he do but go off to some school of mines out V est somewhere. He’s no more fitted for mining than nothing at all. Look at those hands, will you? lie’ll have to wear gloves when he gets to mining if he wants to keep them like that,” he 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 he 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- tfav?, X., ’OS ing that way. Where’s Dot? I thought you said she was coming right back.” “Why so I thought,” said Madge, “but T 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 victory. All were in their places, and at a word from tile 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 Lawrenccville a little ahead. The boats turned and started back over the same course. Cranlev was gaining inch by inch until it was al- most abreast of the Lawrenccville crew. Cries of “Cranlev! Cranlev!” “Lawrenccville! Lawrcnce- 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 Cranlev 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 Cranlcy boat pushed bv to victory, but the little sail-boat lay bottom side up floating in the water. “Save her. Tom,” shouted Madge, frantically, to the youth who stood beside her. inert and appar- ent I v helpless. But fortunately help was at hand. Jim Fair- banks from his lazy posture on the bench perceived the danger, and jumping into a boat lie rowed swiftly toward the frightened girl.

As the New Year is ushered in. we find a grow- ing fondness in our hearts for our school and our friends. Don’t forget, boys, to pay your due respects to our treasurer. Miss Washburn.

Captain Munroc 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 arc found several hockey veterans .among whom arc 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 are expected. At a recent meeting of the Athletic Association the following men were awarded “S’s”: Forg. Mer- rill, Hoyt, Gustin, Ireland. Fitzherbert, Garland. Mixer. Bowlhy, 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 Scriven 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 tailed 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. lanuary 2—Wakefield High at Wakefield.

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 Ilall, by the Cecilia Society, Mr. Lang, conductor. The extremely difficult music, which is well worthy of the 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. � Recent advices from former Editor-in-Chief 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. . 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 docs 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.” K On February 10 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 quite possible that the defeat was due to over-confidence on the part of the team itself. Let our battle cry this spring be “Victory.” 1 The presidents of the various classes are 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 trpe 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. . r We regret to announce the resignation of Wal- ter H. Pilcher, class editor of the Sophomore class of the English School. K . Owing to the kindness of the Athletic Associa- tion and Mr. Jordan of the Jordan Studio, we are able to present as a frontispiece a reproduction of the 1000 football team. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 93 afc 36� tmuolfc H . TOUswaU, ’OS Gl r) ' won.t ° unless I give you double wages? You'll tell and get me in trouble? Do it : do it if you dare, ‘ £3$V'?} but you will suffer for it.” Too AS rd l) angry 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 squa-c 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. Her 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 might have noticed an increased activity oi 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. 'Hie habitual loafers on the wharf remarked to each other that She must be gittiiv reddy ta move. and speculated, in a lazy sort of a way as to Yha 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 10. I 5!!—. To William C. Endicott, Commander U. S. Forces, Provincctown. Mass.:— Sch. yacht Sunbeam trying to smuggle cargo of -------- into one of Sound ports. Left here this P. M. Intercept if possible. Good authority for statement. (Signed) Philip Havcrsend, Mayor of Halifax. Late that night Colonel Endicott was delivered the message. He immediately sent to Boston for a swill tug to report at once. Early the next morning die powerful tug Fred M. Hall arrived, and was quickly sent with 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 ho had outwitted the authorities at Halifax. As he 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, 'file helmsman, who knew nothing about the object of the voyage, looked rather surprised as he threw the wheel hard over. Xext 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. Tiie 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 ran 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 «.‘very 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 board 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. Nervouslv 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 he 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, he could only see the red and green side lights of the tug behind. Suddenly the order was. passed forward: All hands stand by to come about.” At the same time iConcliuled on page 05.J 94 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Sir Hrcbibalb riOartba Tlbomas, ‘X., '07 OME here, you!” The great Dane looking out of the window gave no sign of having heard. I called again. This time lie turned and waited politely. “Yes. 1 said, answering the question in his eyes. ‘‘I was speaking to you. Would you mind coming 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 he 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 W ilkins 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. 1 was willing to take him on the basis of a friend.—that’s what I 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 rchibald. 1 often caught myself ad- dressing him as Mv lord. and once 1 said Yes, sir. when he asked to go out. Many a time within the last week had I wished that 1 had picked up the little, yellow cur that I saw shivering on the corner one cold night not long ago, instead of Spending half a fortune on this biue-blood. He would have been glad to see me when I came home. Well, something had to be done. I wouldn’t beat him. for I 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. I wished he could talk, and yet 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 tinv 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' How can you presume to intrude upon my society?” 1 said in mock severity, as I opened the door and swung my visitor up upon my shoulder, earn ing 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 do it every time she comes to sec 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, my lassie?” i asked, watching the firelight dance in her eyes. Away.” You have! Well. 1 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. flear, 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 ii grandpa is a willing subject?” Buttons didn't quite get the trend of things, so she remained discreetly silent. At 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. Let 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 cheek 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 ! «.] the SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 95 1E)ts fllbotber Cora 1. Sargent, ’07 HE great man of business sat at the desk in his office. Of late he 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 grav hairs had no reason for appearing so tired of 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. hv 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, he 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 rot help but reproach himself for not taking more care of the homestead. He had not been there since his mother died, some ten vears 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 vear. Rut 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 ncwlv modeled one. As he walked up the dimly familiar roadway and drew Safe [Continued from page 93.] 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 Provincetown. where her captain reported to Colonel Eiidicott that he had given chase to the 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 bv the care of the housekeeper. For a week or two the man of business lived cn- tirclv out of doors. He then decided to explore the inside of the house, lie 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, he began to play. Xot 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 he 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 ii he 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.

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 Edwards. ?S Plank street, Halifax:— Arrived safe in Portland this A. M. (Signed) Dale. 96 TIIIC SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Bn ITndfcent in Bermuda 36v Darolfc .Babbitt, IE., ’07 ERMLDA 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, . S.. and cw 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 wasjnaking a tour of the West Indies, with Hamilton her first port. The 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 1 looked from my window at the moon, I envied the man therein his possible power to see those two ships upon which my thoughts were resting. The next morning I arrived at the ferry much earlier than usual in order to be in Hamilton to greet the ships. There was a rumor current that tiie Madiana had run upon the North Rocks and that many lives had been lost. 1 did not place much credence in the report, however, as this re- port is a usual one in Uermuda 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 sav 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. t the investigation of the cause of the wreck of the Madiana. the captain stated that he sighted what Jie 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. Yc 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 w as 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 ti e Atlantic, to see the tnanv 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 the Hashes 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 Hated 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 | n e W.J Why?” she asked at length. It isn’t the thing,” I said decidedly. “Oh, well. T don’t care!” she exclaimed, hug- ging the dog tighter than ever. No, I don't think you do!” She left the dog suddenly, and, coming over to my chair, stood gravely before me. “Sir1” she said sternly, you arc jealous!” Now this was precisely the state of affairs, but ■t took a small maid of six to put it into plain Eng- lish.

(She didn't have the remotest idea what exclusive” meant, but it would never do to admit ignorance in any direction.) Me thinks I simply belong to the house. One of its accessories, like the door-mat. for instance. He’s overbearing, he’s haughty, he's insolent. In fact, he is everything he should not be.” H’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 lier perceptions that she would be able to decide in so grave and weighty a matter. He isn’t that way to me.” 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 by this 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 1 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’ society.” “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 if my tie is straight first, and my 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. 1 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. I 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 1 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 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Miss Ifraria ant tbe telephone .16 : lEtbel S. Ilvinoman, ’07 ISS MARIA was never so happy as when she was spying on other people’s affairs. She was had 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 thev 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, she did not jump up half so quickly as when Mrs. Jones’ or Mrs. Smith's rang. On 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 wras giving an order to a caterer. The conversation was soon over, and Miss 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 strec t. 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-tclephonin’ 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’.” IResolutions Whereas, by the divine will of God our class- mate, Avard Whelpley, has been bereaved of his beloved sister, be it Resolved, that we, the class of 1907 of the Som- erville English High School, tender him our heartfelt sympathy. William Henderson, President, William Bishop, Secretary. 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 bad 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. I or the Browns and the Slades and the Whittakers had not been invited, and each family must have its story. Miss Maria was nowr anxious to see who the guests were to be; but while she was carefully watching the Smiths' front door, her own doorbell 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 abditt, 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 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 in other people’s affairs, and when her brother suggested removing the telephone, she was glad to have it go.

THIS SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 99 TLhc Cavo Valentines JS 1ba; cl IDow, X., ’OS S Jack Norwood took the dainty valen- tine which he had purchased that afternoon from his pocket, and looked at it. he felt much pleased with him- self and very well contented with the world in general. He studied this emblem of Cupid for a long time, trying 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, he addressed it to Miss Dorothv 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 liie 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 lie had scaled 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, Margery Clifford. Evening arrived. Jack Norwood 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 bis dear friend5 What in the world had 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 he 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 he had bought for Dorothy. He seized it, and quickly retraced his steps to the parlor. I Iold- 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 In- dignant over the turn of affairs, but when, the next day, a box of chocolates arrived for her bearing Jack's card, she was entirely recompensed for the loss of the valentine. H Sail IDowit tbc IBarbor 35 y Ernest 1U. Cbapin, E.t 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- day’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 are.” The old salt smiled like one who anticipates the last laugh. The barge stopped and a weary, bedraggled com- pany alighted ai the hotel steps just after supper that evening. Rather “white about the gills.” with bowed heads and bent shoulders, they filed 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 h'u head and a hand on his vest. 100 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR tCbe IRomance of Xittlc fidiss Mcciis -75 ITTLE Miss Weeks came out upon her front porch and gazed down the ’Way dusty road toward the river, 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—lie 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 he 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 he 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 bceff 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. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR IOI «kYot storroj Among our latest friends we have four Brown Heralds, whose contents were of the most interest- ing nature.

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 are 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, Radcliffe, ’07, and Ivan G. Smith, Harvard, ’09, have been chosen secretaries. Invitations may be secured by applying to the secretaries. XLbe 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. � .

Gabriel jfarrell, 3v., %., '06 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 I do.” These do not know what they believe, so we will drop them. And again, others will manfully say: Why. of course 1 behove in Fate, that irresistible power which tends to cross one’s career either for good or evil. And yet, though J admire that frank, outspoken answer, for I am a firm believer in hate, I want to take excep- tion to tlie last few words— that irresistible power which tends to cross one’s career either for good or evil.” Where I differ is in this: Does Fate tend to cross one's career for evil? 1 do not think so. Of course, L do not mean to insinuate that Fate does not place us in unpleasant situations. For it does indeed. How many times arc even the most de- voted followers of Fate hurled headlong into a tur- bulent sea of trouble by the inevitable hand of bate. 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 clear, so why could 1 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:— I had always thought that I was born for a bachelor, so 1 joined a bachelors’ club. But after all of the 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 I 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. 1 was not very well acquainted among the oppo- site sex, for after my graduation from college I had gone abroad, and had hardly been at home a year, which time iiad been spent at the club or at my country home with bachelor friends. The young ladies whom I 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. Barker (that is the name 1 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 for my beauty, for 1 had none: they could not love me for my gallantry, for I knew not that art: they could not love me for my abiljty. for no one, not even myself, knew that. But. even with all that against me. I 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 I 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. I had hardly passed two streets, when, as I was engaged in an ardent prayer to Fate, the car suddenly came to a standstill with a jerk which nearly precipitated me to the forward end of the car. I had thought that I was the only passenger, but upon looking around, 1 was sur- prised to see the most charming young lady whom I had ever laid eyes upon enter. It was indeed love at first s’glit. My heart was in a flutter (imagine it!). 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 tear of the car. and alighted as the conductor called Twenty-second street. I gathered together my senses, and wondered if I had been in a dream, but no. indeed. 1 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 yours?” I inquired. “Xot 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.” Indeed! 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 TI1K SOMERVILLE RADIATOR determined to step there and «pend the evening. I 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. But 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 I concluded to leave it to Kate and await developments: for 1 was confident that it would lead me into light. Soon Bill Somers, my best friend, came along, to whom I shouted. I’ve met her, Bill, and she’s a queen!” Who?” asked Bill, slowly lighting a cigarette. Why. the girl I’m going to marry!” cried I dis- gustedly. “I I'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. Mas she accepted you?” calmly. Heavens, man, I haven’t proposed yet. Why, I don't even know her name, or where she lives.” Well, you never will, then.” Look here. Bill ; this is the tenth of November, d'lie 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,” he replied. II. TIius docs Kate 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, f 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 T 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. 1 was feeling pretty blue this evening, after three weeks' service, as I started on my 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 “Isn't it just terrible!” It is, indeed,” I assured her, but I do not think it was one-half as terrible as my 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 iiad hardly recovered from .my 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; It’s of no use, Bob. This is as far as we go to- night. Got any passengers?” One lady,” 1 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 bow, and began : “Madam------” Miss, if you please.” “I beg your pardon. Miss, the car has become stalled in a snowdrift, and the wires are brok-” “Oh. dear! how shall I ever get home in such a storm?” Mad—Miss, I beg to offer my services as your 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.” Very 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. We 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 5 jfrank Carlton’s Christmas location 3B B. 36. IRopes, J£., '05 ELL, boys,” said Johnson, the night watchman, as soon as we get 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 corjjoration 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, hut 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 befo: e 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 onlyjonged 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. But at the words of Johnson he brightened up a little hit, 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 one 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: T 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 tv) him. But 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 curled 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 lay awake, thinking of what tile 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 com- pany. 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 twenty years. V ' Suddenly Frank awoke. It was one of those sudden awakenings from a deep, profound sleep— one that shakes a person's soul with terror. lie 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!5 Do you want to wake the kid before we can nab him?” growled a second voice. Carlton was trembling with excitement now. ! I is fear had left him. It was the 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 Hash of light from a small pocket lantern. The next instant lie was grappling with a strong, heavy form in the dark- lies';. 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 iiis right foot, and some one let out a howl of pain. “Bill. hurriedly gasped the man he had kicked, “we’d better ‘beat it.’ If lie 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 110.] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR i iC tEbe Sealed Chamber jsx iRutb m. t uis, x., ’06 BRING FI ELD!” shouted the brake- man. Leave no parcels in the car! Springfield! Springfield!” I 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 sec 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. I haven’t been in Massachusetts since June, 03. i 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 Davenjjort and everybody else had for- gotten the troubles of my Senior year, when 1’ wooed and lost pretty little Dorothy Barnett. Wonder what’s become of her,” I 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? Xot much!” answered Tom. taking possession of one of my suit cases. You're to come up to our place.” 1 wouldn't think of it, old man. T don’t want to bother your folks. Til put up at a hotel, for I may be around here a month or more on some business for my uncle, and I’d soon wear out my welcome at your house, or anywhere I might visit.” Xo, 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 sec. she’ll welcome you, as well as my mother, even if you are an old ‘grad.’ ” “All right, since you insist,” I replied, for the prospect of a home w as 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. As 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. ’Hie 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 occasionally when I thought of Dorothy, for seeing the old boys brought back memories of my college days, and particularly of that fatal Class Day. when I 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 bv the table to look over the business instruc- tions which mv 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'. 1 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. hat 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 wras 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 what w'as the meaning of it all? Why had I been made a prisoner5 Did ;nv friends distrust me? Had I done anything to make them suspect that I had evil intentions on their house? Did ihey 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.] THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR H Sailor's Hmttattcm JSx Jfranl? in. JGrafcfcrb, E.t '05 OW. if you have any fear of being’ sea- sick, give yourself something to do. Keep moving.” With this parting bit of advice, I went on board the ship. It was to be my first encounter with the briny monster of the deep, and with much inward quak- ing I 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 ghostly grasp. Fearing that rough weather was to follow, I came to the conclusion that if I 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 I clung to the bedding to keep from landing on the floor, and always at my car 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 1. went, and started walking, or rather, trying to walk, up and down the deck. I will not say that that deck ever did take a perpendicular position, but it is a fact that more than once, when 1 was thrown against the rail, the black, angry waters tossed directly beneath me. It seemed hours that 1 journeyed from stem to stern of that boat, and then, as the fog had lifted, I again went to my bunk. Hut 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 xibe ha. x. e. The January meeting of this club was held at the home of Miss Pcarlc Whitchouse. After the business meeting, a game was played, and the prize awarded to Miss Grace Bradford. Refreshments were served, and after a very pleasant evening the club adjourned at 10 o’clock. The February club meeting was held at the home of Miss Eleanor Neilon. Almost all of the evening was giver, up to the initiation of Miss Sarah Coyne, who is now a member of this club. Refreshments were served, and the club adjourned, after a very pleasant evening spent by all. 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 I 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 wind 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. But now, did it not cry out from right under the port bow? As the will-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. So 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. Once there w:as 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 yell 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 w ireless. At 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 away, and the sun shone down clear and beautiful. Seasick? 1 don’t know what it is.

Xeo 36n?an, '05 T was growing dark in the room, and the man poked the fire until it blazed up, and then leaned back in his chair. The flames danced in elfin fashion and lighted up the room in a comfortable glow, and the man dreamed. As he raised his eyes, he caught sight of a picture over die 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. How long the picture had been there, and how little he had noticed it! lie would take it down and study it. Curly, golden hair covered the head; the eyes, which gave the whole picture its character, were honest, pure, inquiring, and yet self-reliant, and seemed to be inspired. A good nose and thoughtful mouth and firm chin completed the pic- ture. He remembered the day the boy had it taken. Twenty years ago! How it was raining, and how afraid he was that there would not be light enough ! I Tow long the exposure had seemed, and yet how easy it was, so natural had the position be- come! He could see again the church in the dim glow as the boy sang Lead, kindly Light.” The heavy oak pews, the silent congregation, the kindly minister. The other boys 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 he 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 sob and half sneer escaped from the man’s lips. U 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. “kailroading 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 dis- tance?” “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, Marv ; 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 confessiori 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.

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?

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 of the two. Cailton’s enemy was a strong, muscular fellow, but too slow for the young collegian, and in ten minutes Frank had him lying on the floor 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. He 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. ‘Til catch him. And he was off tip 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. Not 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. I le had almost gained his object, when a train-hand appeared on the platform. “Stop him! Keep him off! He’s a crook! yelled Carlton.

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 does 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 W illiams, deemed by 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. Congratu lations. old man. you win; the dinner is on me; it'll be for four- how----” Keep still, you idiot!” I commanded, and meet my friend,—Miss Williams, allow me to present Mr. Somers.” The brakeman reached the man first, but was speedily knocked down by a tremendous blow from the shoulder. Frank was more successful and evaded him, but lie quickly realized that without assistance his chances of capturing the man would be small. He 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 fight was continued. But the man's endurance was not equal to the combined strength of his ene- mies, and it was only 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 between 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 bv 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 me, though.” The boss’s face was a sight; battered and pounded until he was hardly recognizable. But, like the plucky man that he was. he 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 Zbe Sealed Chamber (Continued from pace 116.J woul.l bring no small amount of money. Tom knew that I had a lot of valuable stuff in my suit cases, but lie 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 get a good, fat sum of money by doing this, and it would be easy enough to cover up the crime, for only Tom and a few of his friends knew anything of my whereabouts.

I was imprisoned, and carefully guarded by 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.

(Continued on page 127.) THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 125 '07 Charles Hilliard. Class Editor. Some of us are beginning to be affected by a touch of the spring fever at this early date. Wanted! An assistant to help the class editor look over all the class notes passed in. We are sorry to lose one of our classmates. Edwin Freeman, who has left us for the “Hub.” R—h is thinking seriously of joining the travel- ing circus after his success as a comedian. One of the “boys,” when asked what he expected to do next summer, said he expected to go across water. We woncler if he meant the Chelsea ferry! Oh! by the way, have you seen Ver W----------be’s new tie? It’s a daisv. Mo—re was asked by one of the teachers what his father’s full name was. He replied: ‘T don’t know, but mother calls him pa.” Ek—gian says every time he runs his fingers through his hair he draws out a splinter. Some of the “boys '” occupations next sum- mer :— Rich, running a tug boat. (jliddcn, Sunday sermons on Boston common. Lewis. All out the front door, please.” Sp—r, hopping bells.” Note: This does not mean dancing with pretty girls. Perry has been hired for a baseball bat by the Boston Americans for the summer. Shcdd, first violin in Condit’s orchestra. Potter, running a shell game at county fairs. Between times:— First: Have you heard about Snow?” Second: Why, no, what’s up now?” First: “Why. he’s going to New York.” Second: “What for?” First: Oh, to Thaw.” Go—-n, explaining his experiences in chemistry, told one of the boys” that he only obtained a nickel. We are not sorry to say that that lemon joke has been squeezed to death. More puzzles by our comedian:— What is the hardest thing to part with? Why, a comb without any teeth. Don’t fail to obtain a good look at the photos of cur picture committee. If any one is held up by the roadside, don’t be surprised, for it only means the class dues. Ambitious the cause :— Yes, get onto the walk that (’s) Winns. Bake— in modern history is always ’way back in ancient history. One of the nobles in physiology doesn't under- stand why water plus a little molasses will run up hill, and he is not firmly convinced that the solution was water and molasses. ’OS Edwin A. Sibley, Class Editor. Sc—cn was asked: “Parlez vous francais?” Yes, I parley it, but I don’t speak it.” Brewer's new name: La petite Henrictte.” Rich sits in the front seat and exclaims, Ah. at last at the head of the class!

There's much that I remember, There’s more that I forget, But the first D on my report 1 have not forgotten yet. ’09 Ernest W. Chapin, Class Editor. We regret to announce that Walter H. Pilcher has left school, resigning his office as class editor. On March fi Ernest W. Chapin was elected his suc- cessor for the remaining four months. Fellows! ’Sh! Make Gustin smile and see what! Isn’t it peculiar how our music seems to dwindle down to a soprano solo on the difficult parts with- out Mr. Hadley? But we arc glad to note that that solo is as sweet and powerful as ever.

William Jennings, Latin, '00, was chosen class marshal for Commencement exercises, with Reuben Prichard. English. '02. assistant marshal, and illiam Wyman. English. '03, floor director of the ball. Leo Haflford leaves for the West after the Gek •show. His assisting coaching will be greatly missed. The baseball team will take six trips this year out of town. We have also two games with Brockton, where Mr Whitcomb is now teaching. Allston, Yolkman. and Dedham are also new acquaintances. During the February vacation Captain William Sharry called out the battery candidates, who prac- 4iced every morning in the Somerville Armory. Coach Cuddy has charge of the men. and the pros- pect is bright for a good battery. The veterans. Munroe as pitcher, and Bowlbv as catcher, arc a good team, and will make a fine showing. ()ther promising men for pitchers are Mixer. Scriven. Allen, and Cousins. For catchers, McLaughlin and Ireland are good material. There are several vacant positions to be filled this spring, and let all who have any idea oi 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, 'OS, 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. The vacancy has been filled bv the appointment of Russell Free- man. who announces the following schedule:— April 9—Yolkman at Somerville. April 13—Tech. '08, at Somerville. April 19—-R. M. T.

If you follow this rule you will soon turn to simple, wholosome foods, eating less meat than belore, 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 GRIOLEYS restaurants, and finan- ciallv 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 GRIOLEYS at all hours instead of enduring the poor cooking and restrictions of the boarding house table.

SANBORN, '10 132 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 front 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 :— If 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 bear 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 arc interested in the advancement of the youth of to-day are fervently praying for its suppression. e sr � 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 Teele, of the department of mathe- matics and Latin. 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 stain! 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. c., rapid transit with complete safety. i . , , 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. it H K it 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, it it it it The Radiator staff extends its sincere sympathy to Mr. Avery in his recent bereavement. the SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 133 S AMbnigbt Visitor 36 ? Chester X. L train had left Chicago just as the first few Hakes were gentlv 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 to the present time, the world had always dealt kindly. I he only son of a wealthy family of New York, he had, after leaving college, assumed the position of drummer for his fathers 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 the trade of the leading firm of jewelers of Denver, Colo. The trade, ii received, would mean thou- sands of dollars for Hardy Co. 'I'he 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.—the 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 sec 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. The 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 Jfoster, ’07 open the storm doors and entered the cheerful warmth and light of the Red Fox bar-room, how nearly deserted, pproaching 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 his room, returning just in time to see the entrance of the first few of the snow- covered travelers. The 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 8.:?o, provideri 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 coming, as it usu- ally is in a ne w 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 he was sure. Rut 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 ear 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! ith a great fear lugging 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 i 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 MS.] TUI : SOMERVILLE RADIATOR � 34 H Daughter of tbc Moobe JBv Cation jf. poster, X., ’OS 1TTLK 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 skidwavs on the shores of the lake. Yes.” said Long Jim. that outlet from Silver Lake to Big Hear River is a short cut. and mighty handy. By the way, do you know the story of that outlet? Well, a good many years ago, they say a teller came 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 got tired of his job and left it, and there ’tis now.’’ Thus they talked until late in the evening, when, vvearv, 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 Xcw 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 any woodsman. Monde Stalinc. her father, was a born woodsman, who had always earned his 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. Me gazed silently for a moment in the direction of the camp; then, turning, he went off into the forest. $ Squire John Illsley sat by a roaring fire in his spacious library. Ilis 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 J 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,” lie 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- fore, 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, for he scented his enemies. Nothing daunted, they began a wild chase, and kept it up for some distance. Finally the animal, ex- hausted by 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 by. and along this dragged the carcass. On reaching the logging road, they saw smoke coining 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. Illsley. It is very strange, but she greatly resembles our little girl whom we lost,” and tlie squire's eyes filled with tears. Then an idea came to him. • It was late in the evening. The next day Mr. Illsley 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 the 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; ‘T will not give her up. We must tell Mr. Illsley no. Me is a kind gentleman, and 1 felt sorry for him. and of course he said that lie 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. 'Mien she could come to us again, but it docs seem hard, Monde, you know it does.” THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 135 Yes, Julie, it seems too much to give up, but we must tlunk of her. 1 was thinking of what Mr. Illsley 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 be 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 us to do. It is hard, but for her good. We will tell Mr. Illsley. yes.’’ 1 he struggle was over. The lantern flickered out. The loon continued his calls, until finally a golden splendor began to shine in the cast 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. 1’he cow moose was lonesome that night. 00. %a flbompabour’s jfan J6 ? IDaroaret 1D. Greenwood X., 'OS WAS up in the attic I found it. locked in an oaken chest. The fan that had once belonged to Madame La 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. n 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. Mere 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. 'Hie 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 1 mused on this dream of sweetness, I thought 1 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 I.illiput. 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 PompadourL She was the fairest of the fair. She was the sun. whcrcunto all the other stately dames and court beauties were as but moons. ' I was 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 bated breath to catch, perchance, another word con- cerning the memorable evening. Kor 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- t vcr. 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 1 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 iast 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 be ‘Heroism of IRussell flfcoore J6 } Buna jf. Sones, BE., ’07 XL 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 come 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 Trucsdcll, now and then glanced up from his work and addressed the group. Here’s something.” he remarked. The manager is coming west. His 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 used 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 arc you doing now?” Well. I do whatever I can. Of course, you know, 1 can’t earn what father did: by a few odd jobs around here 1 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. The operator turned his attention to it. Soon he lifted Ins 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.” Boy. 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 will 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!” Lor the boy already heard a roaring sound in the distance, lie rushed out on the platform. On ac- count of the fog. Russell could sec 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 every 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 he hear a train coming? lie peered out into the fog, but could see 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. Thank God, they are saved!” So saying. Russell sank back. But lie could not rest long, lie 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 lie stepped on to the platform he was greeted with cheers from a hundred throats. Many iiad 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 bov, you have done a noble and heroic deed. Hundreds of lives and thousands of dollars have been saved. You have our eternal gratitude. 1’lease accept this THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 137 i-s a small return. So saying, lie placed a well- filled purse in Russell’s hand. Then, turning to his assistant. Mr. Wilson con- tinued: ‘ January 1. 1809. 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.” H flllteunberstanbutG By? Jean tUitbcrell, %., '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 w ealth 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 iuick 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 about some work. As she was leaving, the old lady inquired about Mrs. Nab -rtyV brother, who had been trying to obtain a position on the police force. ()h. 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 Iter and chased her, but she got away.” At the word chase” the caller pricked up her ears. Where was she?” she asked in a tense tone of voice. Down on Pleasant street.” Aunt Priscilla’s worst fears were now confirmed. He was going along with his eye out for ‘Crazy Sal.’ as the boys had named her, when he saw this 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. He followed her. and finally she saw' him. Then he began to chase her. and say. couldn’t she run ! No one but a crazy woman could have run as she did. Just as Tern was about beat out and ready to give up, he came to her shawl, that she had left on a fence. 1 Ic gave it to me. Wait and I 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 this morning, have you r “No.” replied the visitor, edging nervously toward the door, cr—I—er didn’t wear it to-day. I must go now'. 1 should have been at mv 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. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 138 TLhc IBaunteb IDouec JSs XUUan Sobnquest, JE. IO AST 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 eyes, 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. C )nc 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- 'vork—was young, and thought he knew every tale, true or untrue, connected with the town; therefore] he was only too glad of the opportunity to exhibit his knowledge before the young ladies. On the wav 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 coachman’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.. By 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 foreM which east «� 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 does 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 : ilent. 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- vously on. and the still, silent figures moved rap- idlv away 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 ! Xo 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 before, 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 wras 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 skv revealed the house in all its gloom, hiding—they did not know what—behind its dreadful walls. “Helene. whispered Frances again. I think I shall die of fright just thinking of that old ghost— w hat w ill 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 it. 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 they heard it. louder and more distinct this lime. Then ith a sharp cry they turned and fled across the yard. As they rounded the corner of the THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 39 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 owji 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 boy asked. “But 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 I 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 seeiiv as how the ghost must have made some mistake. You see,” he went on. “that old miser was murdered in inv 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 he 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. he 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 atid speechless girls, and sluillled away chuckling softly to himself. H IDcscrt ZLragebv Xy ifi. jf. Uucfter, ’07 I.

THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 43 A.tHletics Baseball ©utlooft Outdoor baseball practice for the Somerville high school started last week Wednesday on the city field, 1 «roadway, with eighty candidates reporting. Since then outdoor practice has continued every day and considerable progress has 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 Bowlby, catcher, is also a good bat- ter and a fine thrower. Munroe, 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 tlie 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. Of the other new men doing good work are William Mitchell, a first baseman; Garland, at short; Pratt and Wiley at third ; Wheeler and Callow in left field, and Mixer and McNeill in right and centre, also William Henderson in right field. Coach Cuddy made a cut on Thursday and the following candidates are retained:— Catchers: Lawrence Bowlby, William Walsh, Walter Nolan. Edward Donahue; pitchers. Henry Munroe, Clarence Mixer, John Scriven. Mark Al- len, LeRoy Cousins, Joseph Pike, Jr.. James Lewis; first base, Nathaniel Mitchell. William Mitchell, Stephen Mahoney: second base, William Sharry; third base, Charles Pratt. Ravmond Wiley; short-stop, Edward Garland. J. McLaughlin: left field, Edward Callow. Walter Wheeler, Lewis Ro- nan. Fred Miller; centre field. Clarence Mixer. Malcolm Fillmore. Arthur Healey. Lamont: right field. Chester McNeill. William Henderson, Allen Hooper. Others retained are Walter Hart. Ar- thur Higgins, Wendell Harrington, and Norris, all out for short-stop. Most of the time has been spent on batting. Much remains to be done to de- velop a team up to the standard of Somerville high’s teams in the past, but the outlook is prom- ising. The bovs have taken hold in earnest and are working hard. On Monday. April «S, Coach Cuddy made a sec- ond cut and retained the following: Bowlby, Walsh. Munroe, Mixer. Scriven. Allen W. Mitchell, Mahoney, Sharry. Garland. McLaughlin. Wilev, Pratt. Hooper, Henderson, McNeill, Wheeler, Cal- low, Fillmore. lust a word to remind us what the previous Som- erville boys are doing and have been doing in col- lege athletics.

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.

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 LePage'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 powder fac- tory, also as a baker, where you will be sure to raise the dough. We 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.

It has been noticed by several that the “Tech” divisions have been diminishing. Why is it, boys? ‘'Bill’’ F—c—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 tiie time to make up your work (if you can). Ahern thinks already that he 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.

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.

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 GRIDLEY'S ah hours instead of enduring the poor cooking and restrictions of the boarding 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 he was kept busy explaining the commotion. His information was received with varying emotions bv 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 Vustin. supported by the onlookers, ad- | vanced to the door, and, stealthily turning the key, j threw it wide open. With eyes widening with astonishment, they looked, and looked, and looked. There was nobody there! Only, curled up on the floor was a big bundle of fur, which slowly assumed, i as the bright light fell upon it, the shape of the great black cat of the landlord, and, rising on its haunches, slowly it surveyed the gathered crowd . with sleepy surprise. ________________ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦j ♦ HARVEY E.

M0 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR Another Memorial Day is here, and once again we are endeavoring to commemorate the deeds of that gallant body, the Grand Army of the Re- public. 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 culogium 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. r. 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 OE EVERY SENIOR WHO DANCES TO ATTEND THIS LAST 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 Ilallett of the Latin School. , 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. K 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? 9 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. 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. v. i At last our expensive grass plot is beginning to assume its famous beauty. Keep off the grass, and let the good work proceed. r, . . The cantata given by the Brockton High School recently, under the direction of Mr Had- ley, was, we understand, a grand success. THE SOM HR VILLE RADIATOR 153 Ht tbe AMbmght IDour 3Bv? Xucte a. Ikramer, '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! what was that? He paused, and shrank even closer to the fence. But his fears were groundless: for it was only the bell on the church near by 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 lie had selected as his means of entrance to the house. The window was soon pryed opc-n 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 muffled 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, lie 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, lie started to leave the house. Rut suddenly he stumbled against something lying on the boor. Had 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 tiny 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: Litel teddy bare Girl: A wikid man has visited your house to-night. He 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 Bear will be bort for my litel girl. Mr. Burglar.” Binning 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. XLhc Country of H lcver o Be .T5 ? 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. ()nc 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, lie rose to the command of a fine vessel after years of faithful service, and then he retired to enjoy his wealth (obtained from investments in ships). Rut. however, in all these years he had always managed to spend a portion of the summer at his old island home, with his chil- dren 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. 'Hie 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 lie loved so well. ()nc afternoon he 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 Frovincetown came in port last week re- porting the loss of two men. Henry Rich and Ebenczer Matthews, during the storm and blizzard of last Tuesday. These men. well known to our Cape Cob readers and natives of Frovincetown, were lost in a dory while making fast some fishing nets. Rut. we arc 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. Here 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 the.ir way to a nearby town 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. ------------------------ She m. x. r.

CAW’OT say how many times I saw My Beautiful Lady before I knew how very beautiful she was • but it to say that I did know, and that for three happy years I lived in anticipation of 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. T loved the eyes, for they were the expression of sympathy and gentleness w hich 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 Fates permitted me a sight of her, it was ecstasy. Perhaps it is strange that 1 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. The voice could have belonged to no one else. The first time 1 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. 1 saw her seated at the piano near an open window. Her 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 I loved her made me hurry along. That night my boarding house was a castle, the landlady a fairy queen, and I 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 I worked, and I hardly knew the hours as they flew bv: nor was it a burden when I worked several hours longer. When 1 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. W hat a loath- some sight that was. after the delightful dreams of My Beautiful Lady, which had been my companions all day! 1 was about to go on, when the horrible thought came to me that she might see him if he stayed there. I went back and asked him where he was going. Howdy, frien’. Glad 'er see yer— hie—goin there, see 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 fed jolly and friendly, so I had no difficulty- in getting him to go with me. I took him to my 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 t nod. and when he was soundly asleep 1 dragged him on to mv 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 lie in strange quarters. I ex- plained. but I did not tell him where I met him nor why I brought him to my room. He was a gentle- man. and he thanked me sincerely tor it. but made no explanation of the previous evening, nor did he mention where he was going when I met him. All day at my work I could not forget his bloated face and bleared eyes. Still, through it all. I 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 my work was easy and my days happy. Finally spring came. Mow the windows were raised, and I 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 My Beautiful Lady herself. When she looked tip her eyes smiled, as I am sure they often did. That night I dreamed of her again. I diearned 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 hapov I 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. (Continued on page 157.) THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 156 Cbc jfatc of Isabelle Carrington Gertrude JS. tmobes, BE., ’07 XE sultry August day a little girl about five years old was bidding farewell to her young playmates in Livcrj ool. It would soon be time for the great steamer “Marquis to leave its crowded dock and gently make its way to the 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 World. Wc 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. I tut what were the parents thinking of? We can easily imagine that. Finally the hour arrived when the last good-bys were being said. All the passengers had boarded the vessel. The cry 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. Handkerchiefs 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 oily 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 are preva- lent in the latter part of August. As the sun sank duller and snore 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. ()ne dav 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 erv 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 m v 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. Nothing more could be done. The fire was beyond control. In the excitement of the moment little Isabelle • became separated from her parents. The child’s heart beat with fear. What should she 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 had 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 mi the last two years of her course was chosen president of her class. ( nc morning just before commencement Isa- belle 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 bear to hear the story I will unfold to you the mystery.” When Isabelle heard 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. Rut 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 f gladness were shed, but the joy was too much for the aged lady, who was at that time lying helpless I'S7' :n bed. Mrs. Carrington only lived to say. Isa- belle. your father is dead. I wo 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. Beautiful Xab [Continued from page 1.13.] 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. Never—never see her again—never see My Beautiful Lady again ! The words rang in my mind, and continually re- peated themselves. After a while I 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 1 made the contour of her features and the expression of her eyes eternally indelible upon my mind and heart. 1 saw nor heard nothing else. When they were in the carriage, her husband leaned forward to close the door, and in a Hash I 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. ! have never passed her house since then, and for me the sun does not shine. In the days 1 work to forget what I am denied, and at night I dream of those three long years 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.

But as to me, my mind—alas!— Is nothing but a blank: Those thoughts I sow. they arc, 1 know, Of all the weeds most rank.

Me 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 lie mused thus, as if addressing the motionless figure in the distance: In what moment of weakness did I promise that I would give you those dispatches? 1 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 you can. Hut am I not a Southern soldier? Is not my duty to mv 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 mv 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 which 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. Glad to be distracted from his own thoughts, and fearful of discovery, the young man listened to the song as it rolled deep an J 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 bore back from his lips the strain:— O Maryland, my Maryland!” tEbe 2 ecree of jfatc Xv? lb. iparfter Xowcll, X., '06 HE title of a storv 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 my 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.” 'I he 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 1 should not sec 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 I 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 the SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 159 across on the rocky bottom with little danger of wetting bis feet. ()n the bank of one river stood tlv 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 11s of the approach of Hoosac 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 scented to be shut off. the train plunged into the tunnel, and for ten minutes ran through a subterranean passage that would make East 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 my birth, for soon after we passed into New York. It was fast growing dark, and being unable to observe the outside panorama. I turned my 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 vet seen, and it inspired me with an uncomfortable awe. With an almost superhuman effort. I 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 my apartment. I then drew the cur- tain O'-er 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 jellv-fish with 'yours 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. ()., 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 does a little smoking itself. Through the smoke I caught a glimpse of Lake Erie. Prom that time on, what little water 1 did see 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 intercst 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 1 sought relief in the vestibule, but imagine my dismay when I found mvsclf alone with—Eddie, the infant prodigy. ith a sad heart I went back and collapsed in my 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 cante 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 my 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 Ccneral William Henry Harrison’s Indian cam- paigns. It was here, while I had thrust my classic features out of the car window, that some untutored child looked at me. and queried innocently, Who are you?” Imagine my astonishment at such an unexpected display of ignorance! 1 was non- plussed. I could find no words for reply, so re- mained silent, surveying him with haughty reserve. Withdrawing my 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- street station. My 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. I will now close, as my tale is told. Though a talc of travel. I have tried to dampen the dryness which inevitably accompanies such an account with a few savory remarks. I enjoyed the trip thor- oughly. but when I once more take a journey over that route it will be twelvefold enjoyable, for I shall be coming East, and there is no place like home. -------------------------- Sau Delta Sbcta On the evening of April 19 a party of twelve con- genial spirits gathered at the home of Ruth and Mabel Conover. When they arrived there, they found that a non geometrical spider had woven a weh of many colors, to untangle which was the work of the evening. For two hours patience and ingenuity were sorely taxed, as the merry-makers followed up their respective strings. But at last each was rewarded by finding a club pennant con- cealed at the end of his journey. Joyfully all de- scended to the dining-room, where a collation awaited them. Thus rewarded and refreshed the members of the party returned to their homes at a late hour. i6o THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR The High School Herald is numbered, as usual, among our list of exchanges; its cuts are not, how- ever. numbered for the usual criticisms.

Four errors was the cause of this great number of runs. In the following innings three singles, two doubles, and two errors netted Somerville five more runs. In the fifth Somerville failed to score. During the sixth another run was scored on a base on balls, two errors, and a fly to outfield. A combination of two hits, two base balls, and an error contributed two more runs in the seventh. In the eighth, with Scriven pitching, Dedham made its first run on a base on balls, a stolen base, and an out. In the ninth Dedham scored again on a hit, a stolen base, and an out. Up to the ninth inning they had not made a hit. Scriven and W alsh, the pony battery, finished the game for Somerville. Munroe and Bowlby were at their best, and Munroe struck out ten men. Riley, the Dedham pitcher, owing to lameness, had a slow ball, but struck out three, and Harris two.

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 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 ;l1 hours instead of enduring the poor cooking and restrictions of the boarding house table.

Wakefield 253-2 HE opening of the Jamestown Exposition on April 26, 1907, commemorates the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the first English settlement in America. Our history tells us that on April 26, 1607, Capt. John Smith and his heroic band of Englishmen sailed in between the two Virginia capes, naming the southern Henry, and the northern Charles; and the next day they anchored in what is now called Hampton Roads, and named the peninsular which offered them friendly shelter, Point Comfort. Certainly no other exposi- tion held since the Chicago World’s Fair, celebrates so important an event. In selecting a site the management has chosen wisely. The grounds run along the shore of historic Hampton Roads directly opposite Old Point Comfort and Newport News and within a few hundred feet of the spot where took place during the Civil War, the fight between the “ Monitor” and the “ Merrimac.” President Roosevelt in his proclamation invited all the nations of the earth to participate in the affair by sending naval vessels and representa- tives of their military organizations, and this invitation has been accepted by nearly all of the Great Powers. While, therefore, the industrial display may be of less importance than at previous expositions, the mil- itary and naval display will make the Jamestown Fair unique and memorable. The “War Path” with its features and side shows will prove every bit as interesting as the famous “ Midway” was in Chicago and the “Pike” in St. Louis. April and May are certainly the two most delightful months in the year at Old Point Comfort and Washington, the season being consid- erably more advanced than in New England. The Exposition will be seen in all its freshness and beauty, and the participants in this tour will enjoy a most delightful and instructive outing. ITINERARY... Saturday, April 27 Leave Boston at 3.00 p.m. from Battery Wharf on one of the staunch steamers of the Merchants Miners Line. This is one of oldest steamship companies operating out of Boston, having been established in 1834, and enjoys a most deserved popularity with the traveling public. The staterooms are large and airy (no inside rooms) and the cuisine all that can be desired. The steamer passes out of Boston Harbor with its forts and light-houses, and is within sight of Cape Cod before darkness sets in. Sunday, April 28 On the Atlantic. What is so invigorating and refreshing as a short ocean trip. The bracing sea air is a tonic, and the exercise obtain- able without exertion is most beneficial. During most of the day the steamer is in sight of the New Jersey coast. Monday, April 29 Steamer is due Norfolk at 7.00 a.m. After breakfast on board passengers are transferred by ferry to the Hotel Chamberlin Annex. This house is located but two minutes walk from The Chamberlin and is under the same management. This of itself ensures our party most desirable accommodations. Every room commands a water- view. By a glance at the accompanying map it will be readily seen that Old Point Comfort is nearer to the Exposition grounds than is Norfolk. The trip across Hampton Roads is made by ferry in fifteen minutes, at frequent intervals. Like all the other first-class hotels near the Exposition, the Chamberlin and Annex will be operated exclusively on the European Plan during the Fair. No meals therefore are provided. In view of the many side trips, this plan is obviously more satisfactory than if it were necessary to obtain all meals at one house. Monday, April 29 Tuesday, April 30 Wednesday, May 1 At Old Point and the Jamestown Exposition. Boat tickets Old Point to the Exposition and return with admission to the grounds, will be provided on two days. A portion of one day will be devoted to a visit to Fort Monroe (largest fortification in the country), Hampton, including the Soldiers Home and the Indian School and to Newport News with its immense shipbuilding plant. The departure from Old Point Comfort is at 7.00 p.m. by steamer of the Norfolk Washington line. Staterooms assigned. Thursday, May 2 The early riser will be well repaid by the beautiful scene presented as the steamer winds its way at dawn up the placid Potomac, past Marshall Hall, Mount Vernon and Alexandria. Arriving at Wash- ington at 7.15 a.m., passengers are transferred to the National Hotel (or to the Ebbitt, Riggs or Gordon for $1.50 additional). Meals and rooms are provided. Thursday, May 2 Friday, May 3 ) In Washington. Under direction of the Con- ductor, all the principal public buildings, the Capitol, Congressional Library, White House, National Museum, Monument, etc., will be visited. Side trips will be arranged to Mount Vernon and Arling- ton, and a tour of the city made on one of the “Seeing Washington” automobiles with lecturer (expense not included). Saturday, May 4 An early departure from Washington will be made on train leaving B. O. Station at 7.00 a.m. A stop of four hours (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) will be made in Philadelphia. The U. S. Mint, Independence Hall, Wanamakers, and other features will be inspected, and dinner served at the Windsor Hotel. New York is reached at 4.00 p.m. connecting with the Fall River Line steamer leaving at 5.30 p.m. Staterooms assigned. Supper on board (a la carte) not included. Sunday, May 5 Steamer is due Fall River at 5.30 a.m. Boat train leaves at 6.40 a.m., due South Station, Boston, at 8.00 a.m. IMPORTANT. But a limited number can be accommodated on this tour, and early booking is necessary. 3 Mr. Poor may be seen personally at office, 298 Washington Street, Boston, or reached by telephone (4759 Main), Saturdays at noon; also after April 15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5.00 p.m. Cost of Tour Covering all expenses as specified above Dieges (EX Glust If we made it, it's right Class Pins, Fraternity Pins Medals, Cups MAKERS OF S.

SANBORN, M0 74 THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR EDITORIALS 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 the 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 open-heartedly 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! r . r„ IResionatlon of Cubby 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. � . . � . fl i Baxter’s jfortietb anniversary In the observance of Mr. Baxter’s fortieth anni- versary as headmaster of a Somerville High School the members of the Alumni are in a small, but commendable, way showing the appreciation of the noble work he has accomplished during this time. 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 XL be Incoming staff 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 of undoubted literary talent as well as executive ability. lie will be ably assisted by Miss Grace Bradford, E.,’0S. 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 Tcele, English, ’08, while the Alumni Department will be in the hands of the Misses Bunton and Bradbury. Arthur Campbell, English, '08, 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 Hosmer (faculty) with Harold Kebbon business manager, assisted by Spencer Sawyer, Latin, ’09, 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 arc 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 SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 176 3ftrc aub TOlater 36v Ernest U1. Cbaptn, E., '00 T was a beautiful afternoon in August. Ihe sun was shining with that pe- j culiar brightness which makes one j lazy all over—and happy, too, with 'r 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, he 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 ear 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. ith 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 I 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 off 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 helms- 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. Binding 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 way toward her, was a great dogfish! THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR '7 7 But Tecle had seen the accident and had put on all speed to reach the “seat of action. Xow 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 boast'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. His 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, he awoke with a start, sit- ting bolt upright, staring into the darkness about him. 1 Ie 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, he could not lure slumber his way again, so in utter desperation he 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 vellowleg and the continual moan of the sea. It seemed to Teele, as lie 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 fioor. 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 tne 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 everyone 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. “1 will not!” returned he, dashing up the stairs, and everyone knew that if man could live in that fiery hell he would return safe. I’p the first flight he went, four steps at a lean. There he met such a heat and dense cloud of i;S 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 tip and hurried from the room. As lie burst out into the hall, he met a sight which made him stagger. The fire had entered the conidor 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 he 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: lie 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 lie 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 davs 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 criticallv 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.” But 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 «every. Did he 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 gene home. Oh, don’t look so! But her words of comfort were lost. With 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- •ng. 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.” To-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 1900, tender them our heart- felt sympathies.

Hltcc jHunncwcll, ’07 E 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 sun and breeze,—everything was cjuict. 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 stabies, workhouses, and cabins were all closed, but stay— yes, 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. He 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 sorrowfullv 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 he 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 him since, and the year following his departure his name had been rarely mentioned in the house. I he mother had been dead many years, and after the master’s death the servants ail went, leaving Uncle Zeb alone with his charges. Eor 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 him. then with a shake of the delicate heads canter off 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. Be 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 a pile 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 ir: 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:— Alta! here they are. 1 knew they were around these diggings somewhere, for I saw them dis- appear around the edge of the row of cabins this afternoon.” He 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 lie comprehended. Ye ain’t gwine t' take m’ hawses, air ye? Walter ye come raound hyar? “See here, old man, we want your horses, and your horses we're going to have. No fooling and whining, now. War is a hard master, and we all have to serve him, so quit ye fooling. With a cry of rage and fright, the negro dashed forward and 'flung himself in front of the two doors. Tak’ m' hawses, will ye? Here, y' thiefs, go somwhar else, but leav’ in' Diamond and Cryst'k” Here, Jake and Tim, take a hand. Tic him to the post over there and gag his yap. No time for ‘such notions.” The men started toward Uncle Zeb. but he eluded them and threw himself at the leader’s feet. Massa, massa, doan tak' m' hawses! Dey is all I hab. Eer four year T’se bean kecpiiv 'em. Doan tak awa’! Dey is all I lub until Massa Jack cum! Massa Tom tol’ me t' keep 'em for him. and I jes’ cawn’t let ye. Tak’ anythin' else, but leav' nr hawses. Doan tak’ ’em awa’s Massa, massa, pleas’! 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’ m' hawses, massa,” was heartrending. Soon the gag was forced in his mouth. The leader threw open the gates and led out the horses. 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 hose. 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 or 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 Yept 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 are the horses? Show them to me, quick! Quick, man. I 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 house. 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. It 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. He gon', too, and I is mos’-----” Look. Uncle Zeb! Out there are your pets. They took them, but I have brought them back.” Tears streamed down his face, as with his last remaining strength the faithful old negro raised himself and called brokenly to his horses: then he sank back with, Press dc Lawd!” and he had gone. Jfaitbtul to tbc Xast JSv jflorencc %. 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. Ikifcfccr, IE., '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 181 night. You have tact, and that, I am positive, will bring the best results. That is why I send you. The young man thus complimented blushed and smiled. “Thank you. sir; I shall be glad to go, he said. In 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 are deserted, except for the policemen who are on duty there to keep the buildings from danger. On the streets the mill hands arc gathered in angry groups, discussing the affair and telling what they arc 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 6.1 •“ which is express. Makes one stop at Pillsburv 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 preceded to write a short, graphic account of what he had learned that day. About 6 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, he 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. 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 feeblx : “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 n tcs to the young lady about the accident, and requested her to guide his hand while lie wrote a few farewell words to his mother. Seeing 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.” 'I he boy sped away on his errand, and Dana, completely exhausted, lay back on the grass. 11 is breath came quick and short, and after a few min- utes he breathed his last. It was two o’clock in the office of the Earlv Star. The managing.editor came in with a worried look- on his face. Have you heard anything from Pearson?” he asked of the telegraph operator. Nothing.” was the reply. What can be the matter with him? He should have been here hours ago.” Tick-tick, tick, tick-tick, tick, went the telegraph sounder. 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. Cbc IRivulct .U5v CU. C.

ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS Till-; SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 183 ITvy ©ration IS ? Charles a. Sobnson, « ., '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. This is a progressive age. Which is the con- toiimg influence?” we at once ask. Our last great revival was one of learning. Our answer is found in the very names applied to our age, “the practical.” “the scientific, terms which verify themselves The evidences surround us on every hand. Man travels on, in, and over both sea and land. He communicates wheresoe’er he will.

Poet point of application, culture and morals. Fickle humanity shows an affinity now for the one, now for the other; seldom do we see a neutral condi- tion. A constant oscillation results, or as Matthew Arnold says, Hellenism and Hebraism arc 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: Arc we ap- proaching the eve to which the dawn brings moral awakening: is an Hebraistic revival due: or is it the Millennium? ' Is culture bringing humanity to the brink where 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 ? Time is a force over which man has no control. He sometimes makes use of it, but is. in the end, IS4 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- hei nance. 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 arc 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 are 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. Nor 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 lie suffered no disappointments. Fortune and genius took the piace of courage. Yet it required only three year, reverses to change all and forever sea! 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 martyr’s death. But the necessary spirit has been inculcated with others and lives after the martyr’s death. His passing docs 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 lie 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 js 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 arc to obey and to which we must hold ourselves responsible, is often lost. Be- cause of this liberty we see daily evidence that the spirit of the self-satisfied Pharisee is still amongst 11s; the spirit that sees no chance for improve- ment. that thinks the ideal attained when the writ- ten law is fulfilled. But we are 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. (hir 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.

After a moment of silence (you may be sure I didn't help him out!), he coughed suggestively, and taking off his gold-rimmed eye-glasses, wiped them carefully on his pocket handkerchief, and re- placed them on his aquiline nose. I knew by these symptoms that Cousin Ralph was nervous, and so I waited patiently for what I was sure was coming. Cousin Ralph isn't really my cousin at all. He was a college mate of my father's, and has known mamma and me so long that we've always called him Cousin Ralph, as father used to tell iis to do. Ever since father died he has been a constant visi- tor at our house, and I've always had a suspicion that he is in love with me, but then lie's so old (older than mamma) and so bald-headed! But still, he isn't my only admirer, and I'll have to put him off (all the heroines in novels do) and keep him on the anxious scat. Of course mamma would like to have me accept him and settle down (I'm sure mamma likes him), but l m much too young to marry right a wav. Ethel.” began Cousin Ralph again, your mother has consented to—to------------” Here lie- stopped again. “Well,” I broke in (I don’t know what made un- 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. (None of the heroines in Laura Jean Libhey's and Charles Garvice’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 lie went away with a puzzled expres- sion on his face. Once alone in my room. I sat clown and thought it all over. How suddenly he had proposed! He just stood there and stammered, and I had to help him out! I hope I shall learn to love him in time, but I know I could learn to love Harry Higgins much more quickly. Why did he cal! me his little daughter? I know he’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 hint 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. ! inaliy I read myself to sleep with “Jilted at the Altar and Rosalie’s Repentance. That night 1 dreamed that Harry Higgins was reproaching me bitterly for my 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. I replied that he had asked my consent to something (I could tell she knew what I meant), and that I had given it. Here 1 was sur- prised to receive a hear hug from her that almost took my breath away. My blessed child!” she exclaimed, he promised to be a father to you and cherish you as his own. He certainly is old enough to be my father, I responded, but why does he keep reminding every one of it?” Why shouldn’t he, my dear? asked my mother smilingly. Well. I'm sick and tired of it. anyhow. I re- plied. and poor mamma looked pained and changed the subject. That afternoon, as I was looking out the window. I saw a portly form advancing up the walk, and a second glance showed me it was Cousin Ralph, mopping his expansive brow with a red bandanna handkerchief. Suddenly I began to tremble, and an insane desire to flee took possession of me. I hastily donned my wraps, and snatching up A Widow at Twenty-three, escaped by the back door to the wood behind the house. All afternoon I remained there, reading and thinking. T detected a strange similarity between my own case and that of Floribel Smithers. in Jilted at the Altar.” The villain in the story was just like Cousin Ralph. What if he should jilt me at the altar? Wouldn't I be mortified? Oh. the heartless, scoundrelly wretch! Besides, I was sure I liked Harry Higgins, lots, oh, lots better than that old bald-headed deceiver' How miserable 1 made myself! 1 remained in this state 'till I had a good cry, and then I felt better. It was long after supper time when T started home, and to add to my misfortune. I lost my way and wandered for over an hour, getting torn and scratched, and muddied, and hungry, and wretched, and more wretched, until at last I heard a familiar whistle coming nearer and nearer, and in two min- utes more I found myself face to face with Harry! ()h, how glad 1 was to see him! I was glad to have any one to help me out of those awful woods, but Harry----! He seemed rather glad to see me. and didn't even laugh at my sorry plight when 1 told him some fibbv story about going out to read, and not noticing where T was going, and so on I was very careful not to tell him of my engage- ment. because I knew how hurt he would he. He THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 186 accompanied me to my own gate, and bade me good night, after making me promise to go driving with him the next day. I entered the yard and stole silently up the walk until I reached the parlor window. Here I heard voices through the open window, and, creeping up close, crouched down and listened. First 1 heard Cousin Ralph's deep voice asking: ‘ Where can Ethel he? and my mother answering: “1 suppose she has gone to visit Mrs. Smith; she often stays all night with her. Then imagine my surprise when he said: When shall we be married. Marion? So he had become engaged to mother, too! Then, after a silence. T heard an impressive smack. How my sensibilities were shocked ! The deceitful things! Mamma knew I had accepted, him. because she had given her consent. Then I was struck dumb when my mother's voice broke in on the stillness, saying: 1 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 L if she is to live with us after our wedding? I waited for no more. With a sob of rage (but I was glad, nevertheless), I hurried up to the room which I called my library, and gathering up the complete works of ‘‘The Duchess and my other treasures, including “Jilted at the Altar.” stole downstairs with my arms full, opened the furnace door, and deposited my burden within it with a sigh of relief. Then I stole back and went to bed. Maybe Harry and I didn’t enjoy our drive the next day! flfcoonbeams By iDaroarct id. Greenwood, %., ’OS WILIGHT softly falls over the pictur- esque English landscape, and as the shadows deepen, the first beam of the evening star shoots through the yel- low pane of the little country church, above which at this very moment the new moon is making her appearance. 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! 1 low 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- scription 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. Put 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. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 187 Glass flbocm Opportunity .iB ? 1b. 2 . babbitt, i£., '07 I dreamed 1 stood alone on some vast height, Before me spread the world in grand display, In majesty, in beauty, and in might. Ah me, and would it then be so alway ? And so I stood and gazed and wondered why This happy dream to me should chance to come, And if it only came to those who die With life’s work that is ended, though undone. 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 1 do belong, And ever have since first the earth began. “I stand and list without your chamber door, I wait and watch for you with ev'ry day, And whether you be blessed with goods or poor, I 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 if 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 by any harm. And never will they let me slip away. Wail not ii 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, hazy, dim. and far away. Call out the efforts of its many friends, And it will come anew to you each day. The (lod in Heaven above by I lis great laws To gentle Moses on Mount Sinai given. Lays down the method of our daily course— Success in life on earth is life in Heaven. Success means not alone great wealth and power, ()r 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.

JSurt, X.. ’07 A band of pilgrims, we started To travel a long, weary road; Our footsteps dragged heavily onward, For each one carried a load. Oh, heavy indeed was this burden. There seemed to be little of cheer. Yet no thought of fait'ring or turning Marred the journey that duty made clear. Now we all were like pilgrims accoutred, Each bearing a staff in his hand, While a purse at his belt was suspended, And a volume closed tight with a band. But 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 their 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 and 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 But a book, where we read with clear light, And learn to sec with new meaning Tiie good, the true, and the right And 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. And our ignorance,—this heavy burden,— Shall be rolled irom our shoulders away, While into our lives there is shining The light of a glorious day. L’EX VO I.

The material of the Brown Alumni Monthly, together with its cuts, is quite an improvement over its previous pamphlet forms.

FOOTBALL TEAM THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 195 We greatly regret the loss of Charles F. 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 tin 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 Hafford 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 Nat Tufts, present coach at Waltham. The position left vacant by Mr. Cuddy's resigna- tion is said to be sought by several candidates. Among the names most prominently spoke.1 of are: Clifford Lewis, now coaching Brockt.m: Leo Hat- ford. who is looking after the football coaching in especial: Nat Tpfts, 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, 3 ; tRin oe, 2 Somerville High opened its interscholastic athletic league season Saturday. May 25, by de- feating Rindge 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, iti 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 Horgan at first. Bowlby gave a splendid exhibition behind the THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 196 bat and hit the ball on the nose tor two hits. Hooper was the banner batsman of the day, con- necting: for three singles. Captain Sharrv and Garland hit the ball well. Bert James, the first baseman for Kindge. 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 Bowl by’s sacrifice each runner moved up one. Captain Sharrv 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- lain Sharrv iiit a clean one to centre, scoring Hooper. Sharrv was caught napping by Webber to O'Brien, and Wheeler went cut, 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. Sharrv 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 —0 Rindge............................0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0—2 E orcbc5ter, 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 the ninth. A number of causes contributed to make the game a Dorchester vic- tory. but chief among them was the fact that Munroe, 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 fir t five innings and for his poor control, result- ing in six bases on balls. In the first inning Munroe gave a base on balls, and Bowibv’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 ums. making them on an apparent hoodoo for Somerville, caused by the entrance of Mayor Fitz- gerald, of Boston. Munroe 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 three- bagger along first base line. Bowlbv struck out, and Sharrv pushed out at short stop, apparently beating it ut to first am taking second on Dor- chester's play that held Hooper at third. To every one's surprise Empire Slincv called Sharrv back and told him he was out. Captain Sharrv protested, but to no purpose. Wheeler’s single sent Hooper home 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 Bowibv’s error. Three pretty singles followed that brought in Delaney and Daly with two runs, and left two men on bases, until Munroe 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. W ith 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 Sharrv and Wheeler sent in two runs, but with one run needed to tit 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 throw's to handle at first, but did well, and gathered in one fly that looked as if it had gone by him. Wheelers stick work was also worthy of notice. The umpir- ing was far from satisfactory. Murphy on balls and strikes put up good work, but Sliney. who handled the bases, made some bad decisions, and Somerville got the bad end of them all. The score:— Dorchester High. .0 0 2 0 0 1 1 0 0—1 Somerville High...O 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 2—3 Somerville, S ; lEmjlisb Ibiijb, 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 by the narrow margin of one run. THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 197 Munroc pitched good ball, and was able to con- trol the curves and drops far better than in the Dorchester game. Me 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 went to the bench to have his injury attended, and because he did not first go to first base, the visitors claimed he 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 he was not long for the work. Me passed up Sliarry and Wheeler, and contributed a wild pitch, which, with a passed ball that came near being another wild pitch, put Sliarry 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 Sliarry and Wheeler walked. O11 a wild throw to third to catch Hooper napping, the latter and Sliarry 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. Kielv 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 bv McLean’s sac- rifice. lie was caught at third while attempting to steal by a pretty throw by Bowlby to Wiley. McKenna and Parle singled, but were left on bases when Kendrick flied 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. The score:— Innings...........1 2 3 4 5 G 7 8 0 ■Somerville ........0 3 3 0 0 0 0 2 S Boston .............0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0—2 Somerville, 2; Dorchester, 0. At Dunbar-avenue grounds Somerville High • defeated Dorchester High in a twelve-inning, very exciting, close game. 2-0, Saturday, June 8. 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 Bowlby muffing easy ones, but they steadied down and played a fine game throughout. Munroc 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 headwork he managed to pull himself out. Spaulding pitched a line game for Dorchester. W iley, Somerville’s third baseman, made a beau- tiful stop in the eighth off 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 Hoernle. Hooper singled to left, and Bowlby hit to the same place. Sliarry flied out to Keenan. Wheeler was passed, filling the bases, but Mahoney flied 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 Hoernle’s scratch hit. Hoernle 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. Munroc then worked hard, and succeeded in fan- ning Conley. The excitement started for Somerville in the first of the twelfth, when I looper led off with a single to left field, which was followed by Bcwlby’s slow hit 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 man 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 Munroc, who had been getting stronger inning by inning, and went out in one, two, three ordei.

I (is chief qualification, he urged, was his voice, well trained by oratory (and collar buttons), which would be useful in calling out dances, etc. After repeated urgings for poesy in this column, we have at last plucked up enough courage to pub- lish the following lyric (?) effort, in the hope that at the close of the year we shall be less harshly judged.— THE ROGUES’ GALLERY.

LcGallcc to a school for somnambulists. Miller will engage in the Chinese laundry business. I’he silence throughout the room was oppressive. On the face of each member of the class there 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.

Suddenly an inspiration seizes him, and hastily stealing a hat pin from tin- dressing room, he bursts into Room 35.

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.

One of the teachers was present. Sa—er would like to ask the class if he lisps when he says, “Fusthy, 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 bear a noise that shook the city for miles around?

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 Wvnifred Lawrence in December, and a very successful dance in March at the Newtowne club. Cambridge. The girls arc planning to end this year gloriously by dining at the Adams House and later visiting a popular theatre.

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.

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 cats 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. Gridley’s Restaurants are Open Day and Night 241-3 WASHINGTON ST. 5-7 WILLIAMS COURT, BOSTON THE SOMERVILLE RADIATOR 2i 7 C. A.
