CARLTON WISWELL, ’13 • '14 • Not elected It is with mixed feelings of pleasure and mis- giving that the members of the Radiator staff of 1010-Tl make their official editorial debut. Owing to the high standard of Volume XIX. set by our predecessors in office, we feel that we must each and all do our level best to shoulder success- fully the burdens of the previous staff. It is our earnest desire to make Volume XX. a publication which shall be as worthy of merit as the work of our esteemed predecessors. e hope to produce a paper which shall prove of interest to the stu- dents of both schools, and which may also be of some literary value. We call the attention of the members of both schools to the necessity of supporting the Radiator. Let the class editors rejoice in an abundance of notes and of real jokes. While we realize that not every member of a class has the ability to create witticisms, yet a large proportion of students are able to furnish the class editors with material. The Radiator requires, also, stories, alumni notes, club notes, and other mat- ters of interest to the schools at large, which we feel sure our readers can readily furnish. Con- tributions for the Letter-Box. established two years ago, are much desired. In the past, mat- ters of vital importance to both schools have been discussed by this method, open to all; and it is our earnest wish that these discussions may be extended in the present volume. k® 'I'he Somerville High Schools have opened this year with radical changes in both. These changes have not been made without difficulty; results show already the wisdom of the School Board in instituting them. In the Knglish School the three upper classes are in session from 8 to 12 o’clock, a short recess following the third period. The number of pe- riods has been shortened to five, necessitating fewer study periods in school. The freshman class is in session from 12.30 to 4.15 in the after- noon. under a corps of teachers in charge for the afternoon only. All double desks have been removed, except in the lecture hall, and many of the smaller rooms, formerly filled with desks, have been converted into recitation rooms. The physics department has been newly equipped. The typewriting department has been given adequate quarters, and modern business desks have been installed in the bookkeeping room. Bubble fountains have been placed in the cor- ridors. and the sanitary condition of the school has been improved. I'he changes in the Latin School have been less radical. All students attend from 8 until 1 o’clock, except the members of the first-year class, some of whom are present from 8 until 12. and others from 10 to 2. The English School has given up two of the annex rooms to the Latin School. As a whole, conditions in both schools arc SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 5 much improved over those last year. Best of all, the pupils now breathe fresh air instead of the vitiated atmosphere of the crowded rooms in pre- vious years. Much of the over-crowding has been dispensed with, and the students are now in a position to do better work. Notwithstanding these changes, it is still evident that an addition to the English School is much needed in the fast-growing city of Somerville. r r . 'Hie Radiator staff extends a hearty welcome to the members of the class of 15)11. Freshmen, you will find the first year of high school both en- joyable and trying, and should take care to form habits which will make your work in high school successful. Above all. do not shirk your lessons because they seem easy, but “do a day’s work each day.’' We appreciate your feelings, as we distinctly re- member our own three years ago. r r r. The football season is now in full sway. Al- though it is too early to prophesy, we expect to have a team worthy of the school. We have been defeated, it is true, but by defeats come victories, so the followers of the team should not be down- cast. Mr. White, our new coach, is doing excel- lent work, also Captain Millmore and Manager Hamilton. By the way. don’t forget that Waltham game next month, also the Rindgegamc on Thanksgiving Dav morning. r ‘ . The members of the English School regret the resignations of Miss Winifred E. Howe and Erank A. Scott. Miss Howe has accepted’a posi- tion in the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts in New York City. Mr. Scott is now principal of the Belmont High School, being one more sub- master who has left us to become a head master elsewhere. r r r The R a in a to it expresses its pleasure at the re- turn of Miss Anna Pushee, head of the German department in the English School. Miss Pushee was granted a year’s leave of absence last year, and spent the time in study and in travel in Ger- many and other European countries. r r r If our readers find the class notes a little below the usual standard in quantity and quality this month, they must not treasure hard feelings to present to the class editors. The class elections were held so recently that many of the editors have been obliged to burn the midnight oil in order to produce their contributions. p I’he Latin School is glad to welcome Miss Kaan and Mr. Hawes safely home from a summer of travel through Germany, Switzerland. Italy, and I'rance. We regret the resignations of Miss Cliff and Mr. Dickinson, who were highly re-, spected by us all. On July (5 Miss Cliff became Mrs. Percival Way land White. Mr. Dickinson will continue his teaching in the Newton High School, where he was recently appointed coach of the football team. . The Radiato� presents this month as a frontis- piece the pictures of the new members of the fac- ulty in each school. We much regret that we arc unable to furnish the pictures of two of the five new instructors, but we extend a most hearty wel- come to all of them. •� ► Mr. Ilosmer’s report, which appears in this issue, shows that the Radiato� stands upon a sat- isfactory financial basis. 6 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ©ur IFlew XCeacbevs Xatin School Edith L.

SSarlow, IE.. HO EVMAX locked up the laboratory with a growl of discontent. “Seems as if it was always time to change periods when something worth do- ing turns up. he said. He crossed the card to the building where his next recitation was to be held, and as he did so he met young Harris. Harris was a youngster with a strong aversion to legitimate work, but it was said that he would cheerfully work twice as long on some device to conceal dates or formulae in his sleeve as it would have taken him to learn the dales or formulae: this, however, has nothing to do with the story, but is merely a sidelight on Harris’ character. ‘1 saw Weyman. said Harris, let's take the key to the ‘lab a moment, will you? I left my civics notebook in there. Wevman was particularly friendly with the pro- fessor of chemistry, and was consequently allowed to keep a key to the laboratorv. that he might enter at times when it was not in use. eyman thought nothing of the request, and handed the key to the eager Harris, with the injunction to re- turn it before the next recitation. That night Wevman dreamed of the pale ame- thvst liquid of unknown composition that he had left in the laboratory, and next morning he could hardlv wait until the first two recitations passed that he might show his discovery to the professor. Mr. Gray. he said to that gentleman a few hours later. I think I have a new salt of cereum that I should like to show you. Professor Gray, who was particularly interested in cereum, looked up from his work. and. seeing who the speaker was. arose and accompanied Wevman to the latter's locker. The class noted with interest the two hurrying down the room, as the professor seldom commenced his tour of in- spection so early in the period. Ah. Weyman! jibed one of the boys under his breath. Who got caught keeping candy in his locker? Now, will you do it again? Wevman paid no attention to the railleries of the class, but proceeded at once to open his locker, lie reached in for his test tube rack with the air of a conjurer about to perform a difficult feat, lie selected from the array of shiny tubes one that was smaller than the rest and tightly stoppered. He held it to the light: it was abso- lutely empty. Please, sir. stammered Wevman. I left the solution in there last night. I’m. said the professor, where is it now? And then, as a suspicion crossed his mind. You are not joking, are you. Wevman? Oh. no. sir! protested Weyman. Perhaps it might have—er—vaporized. hopefully ad- vanced Wevman. vainly casting round in his mind for an explanation. Yes. yes, quite so. it might, said Mr. Gray. Rut. sir. ventured young Hyde, who always failed in chemist rv. from the next bench, wouldn’t all that solution vaporizing blow off the stopper? “Yes, so it would, so it would: very good, Hyde, very good. and Hyde, being a wise youth, promptly subsided before he should say some- thing ludicrous. Well. said Mr. Gray. I can't spend any more time on this affair. You will have to find the solution yourself. I he class believed it was a joke on Weyman’s part, and treated.it as such. ou're a hero. Weyman! shouted one. “If you hadn't been wasting his time at your desk, he would have been over at my bench telling me how much I don't know about chemist rv. eyman. however, didn't pay much attention to them—in fact, he wasn't really listening, he was thinking of something far more serious. He knew that he had left a solution in that vial; he knew he had left the vial stoppered tightly: there was but one conclusion possible, namely, the solu- tion had vaporized and the gas escaped: but how had it escaped.' I hat was tlie question. A fain! excitement suffused Weyman: he had discovered a gas whose rate of diffusion was so high that it passed even through glass! Was it possible? It was possible theoretically, but—Weyman was too bewildered to think any more. Weyman had no chance to investigate the next 8 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR day. as his time was taken up with recitations. It was o’clock, and the last recitation was almost over. Wcynian. who had given very little time to his regular studies in the last few days, had failed repeatedly. “Mr. Weyman,” said the master, “there is a little matter of about thirty lines of Latin which will. I am afraid, detain you after the bell.” Weyman, who had other plans for the after- noon. sank back into his seat with no very good grace. Along towards the middle of the after- noon he heard voices outside the open window. One of the speakers was Harris: the other he did not recognize. Hello. Harris!” shouted the unknown, have you got your purple dye made yet for the com- mercial chemistry course?” “Oh.” laughed Harris, “don’t say a word. I was in the ‘lab’ last night after a book, and I saw a test tube of dandy purple dye some fellow left outside his locker. I guess it belonged to some chemistry shark like Weyman; it won’t be any bother for him to make some more, so I just tipped the stuff into my tube. I guess he won’t miss it. and here the voices grew faint. Well! ejaculated Weyman. and then words failed him. Still. he said after a few minutes, thinking with a growing smile of satisfaction, I hate to think of what will happen when that young thief uses that strong acid for a dye.” IRobin Hbair ISy IDUOrefc %. BmiclL X., 'll HE was seventeen years old. with everything in the world that money could give her. except a straight body. She was a hump-back, a ter- ribly pitiful hump-back, and her small, wizened face, with its beautiful deep brown eyes and tender mouth, was even more pathetic than her mis-shapen body. Ruth Pare had come to Maynard Academy with a hope of finding one friend among the many girls. So far she had failed, and even the teachers bothered little out of class about the shy. deformed girl. So she went along week after week, month after month, a lonesome, unhappy girl, in spite of her well-filled purse. Ruth’s rooms were the best at Maynard, and were the daintiest in their furnishings. They overlooked the campus, and from their windows could be seen the new gym and the little ivy- covered chapel, and beyond that the lake, now covered with many small boats. The sitting-room was furnished in dark red. with heavy curtains. The divan by the largest window was piled high with pillows, and in each of the many easy chairs was a large, comfortable cushion. In the darkened bedroom beyond lay the little hump-back, her pillow wet with tears. From without came the voices of the girls, all bent on pleasure, with never a thought of the wretched little girl in her room upstairs. At each new sound Ruth’s tears started afresh, and her poor little body shook with uncontrollable sobs. Why wasn’t I born straight?” she moaned. Am I always to be friendless? Am 1 to go through life without a friend?” She wiped away her tears, and lay staring up at the ceiling. 1C very now and then her lips quivered and the tears gathered in her eyes, but they did not fall. She went over that dreadful scene in the schoolroom, where the girls had openly laughed at her. They were reading As You Like It,” and the teacher had thoughtlessly asked her to take the part � f Rosalind. Ruth, without raising her tear-filled eyes from her book, had murmured that her throat was sore, and had begged to be ex- cused. The hour had passed away somehow, and Ruth had hurriedly left the room. Just as she had passed through the door, she had heard Helen Lawton say: Ruth Pare as Rosalind! which speech had been followed by a peal of girlish laughter. Ruth rose from her bed, bathed her eyes, and went into the other room. She sat down at her desk by the window, and wrote a pitiful letter to her sympathetic father. While she was writing, a knock fell upon her door, promptly followed by the entrance of a pretty girl of eighteen. ()h! I beg your pardon. I thought it was SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9 Helen Lawton's room. and she stopped in con- fusion. Ruth rose from her desk, her face flushed with embarrassment. “It's all right. Miss Lawton is farther down the corridor. The intruder was impressed, first by the sweet- ness of the little hump-back’s voice, and then by the sadness of the beautiful eyes. “I’m awfully sorry I intruded so. I am sure you understand. Do you know if Helen is at home or not? Ruth shook her head and smiled. “Xo. 1 do not. For some reason the girl lingered, and a faint flush crept up her checks. “Will it—will it be too—too forward if I — T stay a little while with you? she stammered. Ruth smiled and held out her hand, saying: “If you only knew how lonesome I've been. Come over on the divan. She closed the door, and then smiled happily at her guest, who was curled up among the cushions. “This is the most comfortable couch I’ve ever seen, and this is the dearest room in all Maynard.” the girl said. “I think it's pretty. Arc you a new girl? “Yes. I'm late in coming. Helen Lawton is my cousin. “Oh! Ruth jumped in her surprise. So this was Helen Lawton's cousin, whose coming had been the talk of the school for weeks! Xever before had Maynard had as a member the daughter of a well-known musician. “My name is Lorraine Adair, but every one calls me ‘Robin Adair.’ Now tell me yours.” “I am Ruth Pare.” “Are you the daughter of Pierre Pare, the writer? “Yes.” Helen didn't tell me his daughter was here. Ruth flushed and walked over to her tea table. I doubt if she or any one else here knows his daughter is here.” Robin looked up quickly, with a surprised look in her eves. “Why?” Ruth drew the table over to the divan and began making tea. Ask your cousin. Robin Adair. she answered. I understand. Robin said quickly, and then added doubtfully. “At least. 1 think I do.” They were silent while the water was boiling, and the little hump-back cut the bread in thin slices and daintily buttered them. Robin, you are the first girl in Maynard to step foot inside of my rooms. The girls don't know what they've missed. she said smilingly. Ruth, may I come often? May you? Oh. Robin Adair! and Ruth’s head went down among the tea cups. This was the first of many pleasant days. Girls began to find out the good times that were to be had in the little hump-back’s rooms. P y Thanks- giving time it was the custom for the girls to drop in for tea. ()f course there were some who cared little or nothing for the hump-back herself, but simply for the daughter of Pierre Pare, the famous writer. On the other hand, there were others who had learned to love the girl for herself: but of all these. Robin Adair reigned supreme in the French girl’s heart. Robin Adair sat playing her violin in Ruth's room one stormy afternoon in early December. The girls had all gone to their rooms, and the whole house was quiet. Ruth lay on the divan watching the rain beat against the windows. Robin began to play The Rosary. and Ruth sang it in French, softly, yet clearly. She forgot that Robin was there: she forgot everything ex- cept her great love of music. When it was fin- ished. Robin crossed over to her friend’s side and stood looking down at her. Ruth, why didn’t you ever tell me you sang?” she demanded. “I never sang to any one but father before. she replied modestly. Oh, Ruth! You've shut us out from the pleasure of listening to a wonderful voice like yours. Why have you? Ruth covered her eyes with her arm. and the tears rolled down her cheeks. Xo one would enjoy listening to a hump-back sing. she murmured. “Ruth, don’t! Robin cried, kneeling down, and drawing the dark head into her arms. “Please don't, dear. Why won't you sing for us? We all love you so. “You have made them love me. Robin Adair, and Ruth smiled out from her tears. P’raps, but. anyway, we love you. So won’t you sing for us? Xo. dear. Xot yet.” Robin was silent for some time, and they lis- tened to the rain and the wind. Finally Ruth IO SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR sang softly a low, crooning lullaby of her own composition. The shadows lengthened, and the night closed in. The room grew dark, and the fire on the hearth burned low, yet the girls did not move. Suddenly Robin turned Ruth’s face towards her. and asked: “Ruth, in return for what you say 1 have done for you. will you sing for my father and for us girls?” The fire gave one last leap and then died down. The wind howled and wailed, and the rain beat against the windows furiously. “It's the least 1 can do in return for all you’ve done for me. Yes, Robin Adair. I will. The girls in the house were all surprised to hear a voice, full and sweet, singing an old. dearly- loved song. ()ne by one the doors along the cor- ridors gently opened, and the words of Robin Adair came clearly to them :— “What’s this dull town to me? Robin’s not near.

His bright countenance took on a sterner look, as if he were condemning—face to face—the author of a certain sentence with which he strongly disagreed. He even thought aloud: You curse against eternal truth. The motorman. as if on an impatient quest, was making time. Before he put on the brake, lie quickly turned a sharp corner and threw Mr. Jones to the opposite side from where he was standing. One of his hands went through the window. The broken glass cut his arm and face, and in a critical condition he was carried to the hospital. In spite of sensational reports, Mr. Jones returned from the hospital in two weeks, chiefly to attend the suit brought in his behalf. His wounds were still bandaged, but the danger mark was passed. Slowly walking up to the court on the trial day, curious Mr. Jones noticed a leaflet, which he picked up and read. He paused and read again. His every action and appearance showed much interest in his discovery. Without realizing it. he had reached the court S a car approached the black and white sign post, I will see you at the church next Sunday, remarked a tall man politely to a forlorn- looking lad. and. with a smile on his face, mounted on the approaching car. Before the car had stopped, the conductor rang the starting bell, and the motorman, quickly turning the brake, muttered: Those funerals. . . . Is a corpse more important than a living man?” I he irritated state of the motorman’s mind pre- vented him from realizing the kind greeting of our friend. He had even forgotten to notify the con- ductor of the new passenger’s ride. Mr. Jones meditated over the sermon he had heard, while he in vain held his car fare in his hand. The conductor did not relieve him of it. Temptation crept in. A sharp mental discussion followed, and Mr. Jones finally decided to keep the nickel. Once more Mr. Jones was lost, this time on his magazine page. He had focused his thoughts on his reading, and was no longer conscious of the Where’s all the joy and mirth Made this town a heav’n on earth? Oh! they’re all fled with thee, Robin Adair. “What made th’ assembly shine? Robin Adair. What made the ball so fine? Robin was there. What when the play was o’er. What made my heart so sore? Oh! it was parting with Robin Adair. “But now thou’rt cold to me, Robin Adair. But now thou’rt cold to me, Robin Adair. Yet him I loved so well Still in my heart shall dwell. Oh! I can ne’er forget Robin Adair.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 11 house. There were many spectators anxious to see the railway company condemned. During the trial everything seemed to be against Mr. Jones. He was in extreme restlessness, and the court, of course, ascribed it to his wounds. The hopes of Mr. Noble had turned to despair when he began bis arguments. As lie spoke, his timidity turned into resoluteness, and his clear-cut logic and eloquence opened a new phase of the case. After a lengthy discussion of the case, the jury returned with the verdict in favor of Mr. Jones, and the railway company was to pay the de- manded sum. liefore the judge, who announced the verdict, had taken his chair. Mr. Jones rose from his seat like a despairing man to defend liis honor. He had resolved to trample everything else for truth’s sake. He stood mute and trembling: finally in a low voice he said: “Gentlemen of the jury, ashes of another’s ruin have never been the peaceful foundation of a happy home.” Here Mr. Noble trembled. lie did not know what the “idiot” meant. Rut Mr. Jones went on: “An invisible thistle in the flesh is apt to be more harmful than a gash.’’ Lack of coherence in his speech convinced the spectators that the severe- ness of the pains of his wounds had made him crazy. N et he continued: Truth never forsakes us if we do not forsake its demand.” This time he felt the mental state of his lis- teners toward him. and he said in haste: I dis- covered a five-cent piece in my pocket, and, anxiously searching my account books to place that nickel in its proper place, I found that that money was my car fare on the day I got hurt. This piece f law book, which I found on the wav coming here, says: i5y pacing your fare on the cars, you form a contract with the company to carry you safe to your destination.’ 1 found the fare in my pocket. Although very kind of you. justice demands of me to trample my tempo- rary interest, and I will say that I don’t deserve the decision, and I stand for all the expenses. after saying which he took his seat, while the audi- ence applauded him with great clamor.

The dark green shades at the win- dow flapped idly as a cool breeze from the neigh- boring mountains swept over the village. The stillness was unbroken save for the droning of a locust and the rumble of a passing wagon. Surely. Miss Hutchins thought, she would enjoy a quiet afternoon. P ut her thoughts of rest were rudely inter- rupted by a step on the veranda below and a ring at the door. I wonder who that can be. she thought to herself as she rose from the bed. I'pon opening the door, a dapper young man presented himself, and began : “Good afternoon. madam. 1 have something here which I am sure will interest you.” drawing at the same time a small bottle from a bag which he carried, “f am the introducing agent for the-----” “W ell, you may as well be the president of the I’nited States, for all I care. 1 don’t want no hair oil. stove or shoe polish, patent medicine, or anything under the sun except to be left alone, snapped Miss Ann. “Lusteritc Polishing Powder Co..’’ the young man. nothing dismayed, continued. “I have here a trial bottle which only costs the small sum of twenty-five cents, a quarter of a dollar.

You are losing the opportunity of your life, and you will regret it to your dying---” Slam! went the door, and Miss Hutchins re- treated up stairs, while the young agent picked up his hat and stalked off up the street. The house was quiet for half an hour, when its inmate was again aroused, this time by the squawking and cackling among the chickens in the back yard. Hastily rushing to the window, she beheld a sight which maddened her. Drat that pesky dog! It don’t give mv hens no peace. Hi! Shoo! Scat! The dog left the yard in a hurry, the chickens gathered their scattered wits, and Miss Ann Hutchins went back to bed. muttering threats against any one, man or beast, that troubled her again. The next time the doorbell rang. Ann let the ringer ring to his heart’s content, lie kept it up for fifteen minutes, and then left as suddenly as he had come. The next morning Samantha Smith greeted her over the back fence: “Hiram Ratch called at your house yesterday and rang and rang vour door- bell. “Hiram Ratch!

A gaily-crested songster opes His throat, and carols “Oh, Tell me. gentle night-winds, 'Fell me of your songs; Where didst thou ever learn them. Such as wake the treetop throngs?” “They are tunes the day has taught us. The keys through which we blow In the daytime hours, we treasure Til the shadows longer grow: Then home we blow to the tree-tops, And cheer or sigh, alack! As the day has sped in our wand’rings, So we blow the echoes back. We move across the roses’ bed. They breathe a fragrant prayer That gives a tender accent To the breeze that hovers there. We hesitate a second’s length Reside a blighted flower That weeps for its lost beauty— That beauty of an hour! We sweep around the fern-glades, They wave, and nod, and bend. And a happy, secret message To the tree-tops they would send. We scatter faded petals too, And scurry them away, To bury them forever From joyous light of day. We touch a grave that’s newly made. And catch a solemn air, We find a laughing child at play. And stir her golden hair. No wonder that some sorrow creeps Within our songs at night! No wonder that some joy resounds To make the shadows light!” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3 Tl Andreas II. Tomfohrde, Class Editor. Edward Robinson, Assistant.

Somerville, 2S; Cbelsca, 0 Somerville opened the season by defeating Chelsea. 2S-0. Somerville played the new game well. Both teams used many open plays, particu- laily Chelsea, who used punts to great advantage. Chelsea was lighter than Somerville, but put up a good game, fighting every minute. The Somer- ville backficld showed great form, getting off their plays with snap and speed. The work of Parks. Garland, and Doane was noticeable for the ground gained. Bob Garland's forty-yard run oiv a delayed pass was a feature of the game. Somerville scored before four minutes of play. Doane going through tackle. Millmore failed to kick the goal. In the second period, after large- gains by Garland and Doane. Parks made a forty- yard run. placing the ball on Chelsea's ten-yard line, where Garland was sent over for a touch- down. Parks kicked the goal. In the third period Garland made a fifty-yard' run for the third touchdown. Parks kicked tlie- goal. After a successful forward pass. Garland to� Doane. and a failure to circle Chelsea's end, Gar- land scored again, but Parks failed to kick the goal. This made the score 22-0. Chelsea fumbled, and Parks recovered the ball on Chel- sea’s fifteen-yard line. Two plays gave ten yards and then Parks scored and kicked the goal. This- was the last scoring of the game.

Som- erville went down to defeat at Groton. There was a very great difference in the style of game compared with that of the preceding Saturday. Somerville was slow, fumbles were the rule rather than the exception, and the five. ten. and fifteen- yard gains through the line were noticeable—for their absence. However, Somerville did get started once, and made sixty-four yards in seven rushes, but then the whistle blew. In the third period Millmore blocked a punt, which Giles recovered, and ran fifty yards before being downed. Bob Garland made sixty yards on an intercepted forward pass in the same pe- riod.

Somerville, 35; iDcM'orD, 0 Somerville took her first league game in the Suburban League from Medford. 35-0, October 5. The only play which gained ground for Medford was the forward pass. Only once was Medford near Somerville’s goal line. when, in the second period, two successful forward passes and twelve yards through the line placed the ball on Somer- ville’s fifteen-yard line. Then Garland intercepted a forward pass and Somerville soon scored. Somerville was heavier than Medford, and had no difficulty in making their ground by straight football. Only when forward passes were used was Somerville’s play ragged. Big gains were made through Medford’s line and round the ends, Garland and Dardis making twenty to thirty yards easily, while Doane ploughed successfully through the line. Somerville made first down every time but twice, while Medford made it only a few times. Garland and Dardis played well for Somerville, while Millmore and Pierce had no trouble in breaking through Medford’s line. The first touchdown was made in less than three minutes of play. Somerville scored twice in the first period, once in the second, once in the third, and twice in the fourth. Kolseth kicked every goal. Parks failed on a try for goal from the field.

DRAPER, Governor A PROCLAMATION For a Day of Public Thanksgiving and Praise IN ACCORDANCE with custom, and by and with the advice and consent of the Council, I appoint Thursday, the 24th day of November, as Thanksgiving day. For nearly three hundred years a day of Thanksgiving has been observed in Massachusetts. There has been no time in the past more deserving of such an observance than the present. In many parts of the world dissatisfaction with governmental and economic conditions is showing itself by great unrest, and, in some cases, by revolution. In our own country complaints of existing conditions are heard, but at the same time thousands from other lands are seeking our Com- monwealth as a dwelling place to better their conditions, and be relieved from the oppression and suffering which have been their lot in their earlier homes. The principles which were the reason for the founding of Massachusetts were never stronger than today, and every man in our Commonwealth is guaran- teed the right to worship God as he sees fit: and all the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution are secure. There is no place of equal area in the world where the rights of the people are more safely guaranteed and where the condi- tions of life are better than in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Recognizing these facts, I call upon all people to take some part of Thanks- giving day in which to thank Almighty God for the blessings which are vouch- safed to them. Given at the Council Chamber, this second day of November, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-fifth.

The fattened fowl who have strutted proudly about for the last few weeks have become martyrs to the cause, and the children are on the trail of the wish-bone. Thanksgiving, as its name implies, is a day of thankfulness and pleasure to most of us. It serves as a reminder of our Pilgrim Fathers and of their hardships and suffering, and should also lead us to compare the conditions of to-day with those of nearly three centuries ago. In the midst of our general rejoicing we should not lose sight of the fact that many are less fortunate than our- selves, nor should we forget our duty toward them. Somerville people have one thing, at least, to be thankful for, namely, that they may have the pleasure of seeing Somerville (as we hope) triumph over Rindge on the gridiron Thanksgiv- ing Day morning. r 'I'hc football season is waning and will soon close. The revised game has proved a success, and the game seems to be in no danger of extinc- tion. At the present time. Somerville High School’s chances of winning a football championship in either the Suburban or Interscholastic Leagues appears rather dubious, 'flic team has had its ups and downs this year, and although it does not hold a clean slate of winnings, has won some splendid victories. The Malden game was a hard one to lose, but our defeat f Waltham more than atoned for it. After all, a team cannot win all the time, although it takes considerable philosophy to make a cheer- ful loser. Enthusiasm at the Waltham game this year was not as great as that of a year ago, owing to the adverse weather and the respective merits of the opposing teams. Those present, however, wit- nessed a glorious struggle, which, best of all, ended in our favor. The Rindge game Thanksgiving Day morning will end the schedule, and every loyal Somerville supporter should be on the field if possible. r The members of the English School deeply re- gret the resignation of Archibald S. Bennett. Mr. Bennett has been a sub-master and instructor in mathematics in our school for over two years, and during that time has endeared himself to the many students under his instruction. The Debating Club is especially indebted to him for the services he has rendered as coach of last year’s winning team and as critic of the society. Mr. Bennett leaves to assume a position under Henry Turner Bailey on the staff of the School Arts Monthly. The Radiator wishes Mr. Ben- nett the greatest success in his new work. K Stephen E. Wright has been transferred from the afternoon to the morning session of the Eng- lish School, to fill the position made vacant by Mr. Bennett’s resignation. Mr. Wright’s place will be SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 29 filled by Guy C. Blodgett, recently elected a sub- master in the English School. K r r. 'I'lie English High School Debating Club has commenced its second year of existence under the able guidance of its president. Francis Rourke. English, ’ll. Although the limit of the member- ship has been somewhat lowered, there is still chance for those interested in debate to join. Debates occur alternate Tuesdays at 12.30 in room 11 of the annex. Prospective candidates for admission to the club should interview the sec- retary. Alpheus Ward. English, ’ll. in room 21 of the English School. The club expects to have one or two debates with other schools this year, and hopes to arouse as much enthusiasm in them as was the case in the Somerville-Maiden debate last year. The social season is humming busily along, and we shall soon begin to hear murmurings about the senior soiree and the junior dance. It is to be hoped that every member of the classes concerned will do his share toward making these events suc- cessful. In the midst of so many social activities there is an inclination to neglect the school work. We should sec to it, then, that business comes before pleasure, and take care not to fall below standard. � � With the falling of the leaves there passed from our midst one known to us as ' America’s grand old woman.” Julia Ward Howe. She was honored all over the world. On October 5, at Smith Col- lege. when she received the degree of doctor of laws, she was fitly characterized by these words: Julia Ward Howe, poet and patriot; lover of let- ters and learning: advocate for over half a cen- tury in print and in living speech of great causes of human liberty; sincere friend of all that makes for the elevation and enrichment of womanhood; to whom now in her serene, gracious, and vener- ated old age we offer felicitation and pay grateful homage.” Julia Ward llowe was born in Xew York City 011 May 27. 1 SI! . She was the daughter of Samuel Ward, a wealthy man. and the organizer of the first temperance society in this country. Among her friends we find Longfellow. Lowell. Emerson. Holmes. Bryant. Wendell Phillips. Wil- liam Lloyd Garrison. Washington Irving, Theo- dore Parker, and Edward Everett Hale. She will always be remembered by her famous song, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic. ” which was written during the trying times of the Civil War. In IS 13 she married Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, the founder of the Perkins Institution for the Blind. May her memory be an inspiration to ps. and let us ever bear in mind the text she gave to a body of students and educators in one of her last addresses: “Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” K. r � v � 'I’he Kamatok wishes to apologize for the fact that Miss Kimball’s name was printed Mary in- stead of Nancy last month.

Ben. Well, good luck! But. Ben! I guess you’ve for- gotten about this evening. Evans is giving a spread in his room to his father. He came on the 1.1 . He'll be mighty disappointed if you don’t come. He wants all the crowd, you know.” Tm sorry. John. I’d like to go, but it’s the last chance I'll have before the exam.” “Oh, very well! Good night.” John turned his back on Ben, and. hands in his pockets, re- sumed his walk across the campus towards Far- rington Hall. What a grind!” he muttered, and a bully fellow, too. I wonder he stays in our set, or how lie ever got there at all.” Eight o’clock found our set,” excluding poor Ben. congregated in Evans' room. Hours passed liked minutes, and at 11 they were actually eat- ing their way out. There was absolutely nothing flat in the whole evening's enjoyment, and when, at an early hour in the morning, Evans' father ushered the fellows out with a parting handshake and a hearty Good night” (better Good moriL- ing ), all declared the spread a grand success.” Ben came up the stairs and groped in the dark hall for his door-knob just as the last light of our set went out. lie was extremely tired, a little nervous, and somewhat sore at heart. John’s abrupt leave-taking, the overheard What a grind!” grated on his mind, and then he could not help thinking of the good time the others must have had. I wouldn't disappoint father, anyway. Trig was his hobby, and I must get honors in that for his sake. Professor Richards says there’s a chance, too.” With this consoling thought Ben fell asleep. % Did you wish to sec me, sir?” Good afternoon, Livingston. Have a chair.” Dr. Wheeler laid down his pen and wheeled round in his chair. I have just received word that the fellows who didn’t pass are not to go to-morrow.” Yes. sir.” I am very sorry, but you are one of those who didn't pass the examination. Why! I was very sure of my Trig, doctor. A little too sure. I’m afraid. You must be prepared to take the examination not later than next week.” Yes, sir. His voice choked him. and John stumbled out of the office. He not going! What would every one say? He knew his value as a quarterback, knew that no one could take his place, and the biggest game of the season to- morrow. and away from home. Ben found him later in the afternoon, all in a heap in his chair, his book in his lap, and some- thing that looked quite like tears in his eyes. The cause was soon explained. Have you got your papers here?” On the table.” Look here. John, these aren't bad mistakes, they're carelessness. A little too much confidence in yourself. I don't want to interfere, but give me this afternoon and evening, and I’ll have you tak- ing that examination at 10 to-morrow morning, and you'll pass, and. what is more, you’ll go with the team.” Do you really think I can? Do you mean it?” ()f course I do. We’ll begin now.” This was the beginning, but the ending came a long time later, and once more they retired at midnight. John was really afraid to go to sleep for fear of losing his lately-acquired knowledge. John took the examination and John passed. Professor Richards asked for an explanation. I low did you do it?” Just a little studying last night, sir.” More than a little, I should say. Who helped you?” Ben Say wood.” Well, you deserve to go. You’ve earned it.” Thank you.” I’d advise you to do your studying before exams instead of after in future.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 3i Nearly all the college was at the station to sec the team off. Hut John stuck close to Hen. Another examination prevented Ben’s going. “Good luck, old man. Play your best and we’re sure to win.” “Good luck to you, lien, and remember, if I help win you helped as. much as any man on the team.” W ith a slap on his back and a shake of his hat, he was off. The honor of being the best scholar was awarded that year t Benjamin Savwood, and he wasn’t called a grind, either. B 'KxM Up on a Country 1Roat JSv? XCntlfreC XXX. CbanCdcr, !! ., 'll T happened one night toward the end of the summer vacation which Tom and Joe were spending in the coun- try. There had just been a big bandit scare in the city, but that was so far away that no one in the little town paid much attention to it. When, however, there began to be rumors that the police in the neighboring towns were having trouble with cer- tain outlaws, who were supposed to be of the same band that had caused such excitement in the city, the country people began to be fearful about traversing the lonely country roads after dark. On this particular evening the boys were driv- ing a friend, who had been spending the week-end with them, to the railroad station to catch the 10 o’clock train to the city. It was two miles to the station : the road was a lonely one, with only a few farmhouses scattered at long intervals. One place was particularly gloomy, where the road ran through a stretch of pine woods, and was as dark as pitch when there was no moon. But the road had no terrors for Tom and Joe. I hey had trav- eled it many time before on dark nights, and felt a sense of security which came with familiarity. Besides, they regarded those bandit stories as nothing more than exaggerated rumors. All three were in pretty good spirits, and they chatted as they drove along. In this way the dis- tance to the station was covered in a shorter time than they realized. W hen the train had come and gone, bearing their friend away, the boys started home. Their spirits had somewhat subsided, and they drove along hardly saying a word to each other. It seemed lonely, somehow or other, now that their friend had gone. Tom was thinking un- easily that there might be something in those bandit stories, after all. when suddenly Joe re- marked: 'Say. what if we should meet some of those bandits they say are around here? This road isn't such a bad place for their business, es- pecially in that bit of woods ahead, and on a dark- night like this.” Huh! said Tom. with far more assurance than he felt. w hat would any one want to hold 11s up for? He wouldn’t get much.” Then the conversation lapsed again, and pres- ently they came to the place where the road ran through the woods. Of course the boys were not frightened, but still it would be a relief when they had left those woods behind. The horse went along at a trot, with ears pricked up to catch the slightest unusual sound. The carriage lamp cast a pale light along the side of the road, but beyond its feeble rays nothing could be seen. Suddenly the horse shied violently, and came to an abrupt stop. A light was flashed into the faces of the startled boys, who sat dazed by the suddenness of the occurrence. The man with the light advanced cautiously: a nearer view revealed a revolver in his right hand. He flashed the light into the rear seat, and was apparently surprised to find it empty. Then he moved away again, and spoke a few words to his companion at the horse’s head. Guess we've got the wrong team.” they heard him say. Nothing but a couple of kids.” Then the light went out. and the men disappeared as suddenly as they had come. It took the occupants of the carriage some time to realize what had happened to them. Then Joe. who was the first to recover, said in a hoarse whis- per: Come on. let’s get out of here.” And they did get out of there as quickly as the horse could take them. 32 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR H jfortunatc mistake 36v? Hn reas if). Uoinfobr e, %., ’U () look at me,” said a prosperous- looking horse breeder, you would not think that I was once a race track gambler, following the races; some days worth a thousand or more, and the next day not worth a cent. Well. I was that sort of a man. but one day a mistake, which turned out to be fortunate to me. set me to thinking, so I quit the game. Perhaps you would like to hear about it. he added, a sug- gestion to which we all assented. As a young fellow I liked horses, and after go- ing to sec a few races. 1 fell into the racing game. I got a job as a helper, but as soon as I had $10 1 placed it on a horse at ten to one shot. The horse happened to win. and I was worth a hundred more. At this I quit my job and became a race track plunger, following the Grand Circuit races from one place to another. It was a life of ups and downs, sometimes eating in swell hotels, oftener not eating at all. Put the incident which caused me to quit the game happened at Saratoga. It was the Empire State Futurity race, three heats, with the pick of the trotting horses entered. I had a thousand dollars to bet on this race, but as I was busy just before it. I could not go to the bookmaker’s, so I sent a trusty messenger with the thousand, tell- ing him to put it on Foster to win. I told him to leave the bookmaker's receipt with the steward at the clubhouse, for I was afraid he might not find me again in the crowd. As soon as I was able I hastened to the track, just in time to see the start of the Empire State Futurity, the race iti which I was interested. The horses got away in a bunch, with Lady K. leading, but at the quarter Foster sprang into the lead and held it all tlie way to the finish, although Forester came fast at the home stretch. Well. Foster had won the first heat easily, and I chuckled to myself as I thought of the money coming mv way. “Between the first and second heats there were some races in which I was not interested. After some time they got away together once more, with Barrington Boy in the lead at the pole; here % Foster broke from a trot to a run. and before her driver could get her back into a trot, the field was way ahead. Foster was declared out of the race because she failed to pass the line thirty yards from the finish before Forester, the winner, passed under the wire. All hope of winning the money was now gone, for with Foster out of the next heat, Forester would surely win. and I cursed myself for not put- ting my money on Forester at ten to one. Some- how I remained to watch the last heat, although it was nothing to me. Barrington Boy got away in the lead, with Lady K. and Forester right be- hind. At the quarter Lady K. got into the lead, and Barrington Boy dropped into third place, witli Forester in second place. Both Barrington Boy and Forester rounded the turn into the home stretch together. The horses came down the stretch neck and neck, the drivers leaning for- ward. and Forester's driver gave a little whoop, at which Forester put forth her best efforts and flashed under the wire a winner. Thoroughly disgusted with myself. I wandered toward the clubhouse. ‘Came after your receipt, I suppose.’ said the steward. ‘Bile of good it will do me I growled. ‘W hy not? Didn’t Forester win?' asked the steward. ’ ‘My money was on Foster.’ I returned. ‘Says Forester on the receipt.’ said the steward. ”1 rushed with the receipt to the bookmaker’s, thinking there must be some mistake. I found that my thousand had been placed on Forester at ten to one, and I had won $10,000. I was somewhat bewildered, and then it dawned upon me that the messenger thought I said Forester instead of Foster, so he had placed my money on Forester. I hardly knew what to do with my winnings, but I thought I would close my race track career there and settle down before my luck changed again.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 33 £bc Might ©perator £n ing 1R. jfox, i£.. ’ll E HUNDRED DOLLARS RE- WARD.” These words, printed in large type, caught Mason’s eye as he opened his paper. Hastily glanc- ing through the headlines, he learned that three convicts had made a dar- ing and successful escape from the penitentiary thirty miles below. They had killed their guard, made their escape, and were still at large. Mason again read through the notice: “Five hundred dollars each will be paid for the capture, dead or alive, of the three prisoners who escaped from Carling prison this morning. Take no chances whatsoever with them. They arc des- perate and heavily armed. When last seen they were heading north towards ()rland. And then came the usual detailed description. “M’m, $1,500 looks pretty nice, mused Mason, ‘‘but I hardly think 1 care to do the hero act against three desperadoes. I hope they don't happen around here.” Mason was the night operator in the railroad station at ()rland. a small town situated in the midst of the Green mountains. The night in ques- tion was that memorable Christmas eve. a few years back, when the whole of New England was tied up in the grasp of a fierce blizzard. Thoughts of the convicts soon left Mason’s mind as he went about his duties. The storm, which had begun early in the afternoon, was con- stantly increasing, and wire troubles were develop- ing with an annoying frequency and regularity. The up-local arrived at 0. and was followed by a fast freight. Shortly after 11 the down night ex- press for Boston stopped, and a minute later was off again on its long journey into the storm. There was nothing due then until 3.20 a. m.. when the night mail came through. Mason leaned back in his chair, listening to the storm outside. Kor a few seconds all would be still and calm. Then, with a wild rush and a fear- ful shriek, the storm would burst in all its fury against the station, shaking the whole building, rattling the doors and windows, ending with a long, dismal wail. The wires moaned, too. and the telegraph instruments clicked fitfully, and fin- ally ceased altogether, as if they were tired of the struggle. Gradually a chill came into the air. The wind stopped, and everything was quiet. Mason shivered slightly. Suddenly he came to with a start, his heart beating wildly. W hat was that, that had startled him so violently? He lis- tened. Everything was quiet. Then a board creaked. He caught his breath and waited in silence. Was it his imagination, or had he really heard a stealthy footstep in the room outside, which he supposed locked? Nothing could be heard but the moaning of the storm. Pshaw! he thought, “this nervousness won’t do. 1 guess I’ll go out and fix the fire.” I le crossed the office, opened the door, and stopped abruptly, his teeth chattering and his face pale. Within a foot of his head there was a long revolver barrel staring at him. while behind it a pair of masked eyes gleamed wickedly. Before lie could even realize what was happening, he was seized by rough hands, bound, gagged, and thrown into a corner of the office. He watched the rob- bers open the safe and the cash drawer, taking all the money. The leader of the three counted the money. Not even a hundred dollars. he grunted disgust- edly. ’ Well. turning to the other two. we had better get ready to wreck the mail train. We’ll be able to get the money we need from that, all right.” Then Mason heard them go over their plans. They were going to fasten ties to the rails. He recognized the location. It was in a deep rock cut about a quarter of a mile east of the station. He shuddered to think what would happen when the train, heavily laden with sleeping passengers bound up country over Christmas, should crash into those ties. The robbers, after seeing that the operator was securely bound, went out. As soon as he was sure they were gone. Mason tried to free himself. If he could only reach the telegraph, he could save the train. But it was useless. Suddenly a thought flashed through his head. His feet were tied with rope, but his hands were bound with a leather thong, and leather will stretch if wet. In the room was a pail of water, lie commenced to wriggle across the floor, and reached the pail and managed to tip it over so that it soaked his wrists. Then began the struggle. For a full half-hour 34 SOM HR VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR lie tugged, and pulled, and strained at the leather, until the beads of perspiration stood out all over his body, while the leather stretched gradually— oh, so gradually. Unexpectedly, when his hopes were dying out. his hands became free. lie seized the key of his instrument, opened the circuit, pressed the key. and then stopped. The line was dead. Xo current flowed in the wires. Kit her the robbers had cut the wires or the storm had broken them. Mason grabbed a fusee. There was still a chance that lie could cut across lots and reach the track above the obstruction. How he ever man- aged to make his way through the drifts he will never know. He found himself on the track fi- nally. and heard the train bearing down on him. lie lit the red fusee and waved it over his head, but the engineer, keeping his head out of the storm all lie could, did not see the signal. Mason was dumbfounded to see the train rush by. There was but one chance left, and he must act quickly. As the last car went by. he hurled the fusee with all his might at the vestibule door on the rear plat- form. It hit the glass squarely, and landed on the car platform. Everything depended on whether the rear brakeman would see it in time to turn the anglecock. applying the brakes. Mason seemed to hear the engine whistle. Then everything faded from view before his eyes. When the train crew came back, they found him lying unconscious, hatless, coatless, the drifting snow covering him. He was taken back to the train, where he revived and told his story. The train was backed to the station it had last left, and the police notified. By the time they reached the scene of operations, the robbers had taken alarm and fled, but were soon tracked down and cap- tured. The passengers on the train took up a collection for Mason, for the purpose,” as they put it, “of getting his clothes pressed,” but the sum they realized would buy many suits of far better quality than he had ever had. ICbrougb Space J6v JEllswortb 7H. Plummer, X., T2 T was a fine day in the middle of June that I stood in the large aero shed which belonged to my business part- ner. Frank Haines, watching two of his mechanics getting the machine into flying trim as quickly as pos- sible. for only a few moments before that we had received word that the estimates on a large build- ing which we had been figuring for must be in at high noon on this very day. Through some error, the time for the specifications to be called in had been misunderstood. ()nc of the men had gone to Tarrvtown with the only available auto- mobile, and no train could get us there in time. So the aeroplane was the last resort. Frank had won many prizes for speed and altitude, but had never put his machine to a more practical pur- pose. This man-bird of the air was now to prove to us its commercial usefulness. If it won against time and circumstances, in all probability it would mean that we should get the largest en- terprise that we had ever undertaken,—the build- ing of the mammoth railroad station in East Brook. I;rank and I had donned our wind shields and goggles, and were clambering into place behind the controller. Frank pressed home the battery switch and fiddled with one or two levers. The twin propellers behind me started to whir with a report worse than that of a cannon cracker. With the front planes tilted slightly upward, we rose gracefully from the ground, dipping occa- sionally as the swallow does, until we reached the height of about 150, then pointed straight for old Bald Top mountain, as that was the lowest of the range winch we must cross in order to reach the valley in which East Brook was situated. It was exhilarating, to say the least, to feel one’s self carried along through space with the gentle rise and fall caused by varying wind currents. The steady drone of the engine behind us drowned out all sounds that might have been wafted up to us from the fast-varying panorama below us. Now we would sweep over the meadow, luxurious v- ..-' I- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 35 in its new coat of green; now over a farm, where the people were gazing up at us and waving. As we neared the range, we began in long spiral sweeps to rise t higher altitudes. The air grew noticeably colder, and objects on earth grew smaller and smaller. We passed over a river, which seemed like a silver ribbon. Suddenly we struck a cross current, and the planes began to warp visibly, and the guy wires, running to the variable planes, began to vibrate. In reality, we had struck just such a squall as you occasionally meet while sailing on a body of water. Frank jerked the variable lever back, and we took a sudden swoop to a lower altitude, where currents were more favorable. For a time we went along at this level, once racing with an auto down on the highway. My friend tilted the planes, and up we soared again. Up. up. and things upon earth were enveloped in a purplish haze. We soon shot by the crags of the side of Raid 'Pop, and could look down into the treacherous chasm below us. The whir of our en- gine and the sight of our craft made an eagle in- dignant at our intrusion, and he soared screeching away above us. We had now cleared the moun- tains. and were sailing gently down, at half speed, to the valley, where lay our destination and the object of our flight through space. Frank sighted the broad green of the Miami Club golf links, took one last sweep, and came down upon the green with hardly a shock, skid- ding along for 200 or more feet before stopping. Leaving the machine in the care of a couple of club porters, it was a matter of only a few minutes for us to reach the office of the company and de- posit our papers with them. week or so later. Frank and I sat in our office interviewing one of our foremen, when a messenger hurried into the room and tossed a telegram upon the desk. Frank snatched it up, slit open the envelope, and took the contents in at a glance. A bright look came into his face, and he fairly yelled at me in his pleasure:— We win. and only by a few seconds! We are the lowest bidders by several hundred, but we just barely got the papers in. That machine of mine has stood the test. The aeroplane is of use com- mercially. School IMews Tin Cl?c forum The Somerville English High School Debating Society, on October 2“ . debated the subject: Re- solved: That High School Students Should Have a Part in School Government. The affirmative was upheld by Miss Ella Sullivan and Ragdasar K. Baghdigian; the negative, by Miss Fannie Lipshires and Wilfred Chandler. So closely was the subject argued that the judges, after a half- hour's conference, announced the negative the winning side, though not unanimous in their decision. Resolved: That the Panama Canal Should lie Fortified by the United States was debated on November 8. Miss Ruth Sargent and Arthur Leighton arguing the affirmative. Miss Heulali Sprague and Edward II. Cole, the negative. As in the previous debate, the negative was awarded the decision. An entertaining programme has been arranged for the meetings of the Society until the Christ- mas vacation. Subjects to be debated are: Re- solved: That College Entrance Examinations Are Excessive and Resolved: That the Railways of the United States Should Not P e Owned and Operated by the Government. For Christmas week a programme especially interesting to the entire school will be carried out. A town meeting and election of select- men will be held in Room 30 on Monday. De- cember 10. at 12.30 p. m. The club has divided into a Republican party and a Democratic party, each of which has nominated three candidates for town selectmen. A campaign manager has been appointed for each party, and stump speakers are preparing to annihilate the opposing candi- dates’ claims to office. The members of the 36 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR school will be the voters, and. after hearing the rival speeches, will fill out and cast regular bal- lots for their choice. To bring the school closer in touch with this meeting, any Senior. Junior, or Sophomore may run for office by taking out nomination papers and securing the endorsement of five members of the school before December 2. 'I'he only condition to this is that lie must run on some other platform than the regular Republi- can or Democratic, such as the Socialist, the Prohibitionist, or the Woman Suffrage platform. Each nominee will be given, or may choose, a campaign manager, and he and his platform will be given the same prominence in the bulletin- board advertisements of the campaign as the candidates of the Debating Society. The English High School has been named the town of Centerville: the school, the town hall. Its officers for 1909-'1() are: Selectmen. Bagdasar K. Baghdigian. I'.11a Sullivan. Edward II. Cole; town clerk. Harry Waldron; sheriff. Wilfred Chandler. The Democratic nominees for select- men are: Arthur Leighton. Ella Sullivan. Harry Waldron. Those of the Republican party arc: Francis Rourke. Wilfred Chandler. Ruth Sar- gent. Nomination papers may be secured from the present town clerk. Harry Waldron. Room 22. town hall. The Somerville English High School Debating Society is anxious that the school should enter heartily into the spirit of this meeting. Properly conducted, there should be a warm campaign, ending with enthusiastic oratory and a close elec- tion on December 19. State Elections in the English tligb School ()n Wednesday, November 9, 1910, the day after the state elections in Massachusetts, the Senior class of the English High School voted the state ticket. Through the kindness of Mayor Woods. Mr. Littlefield, commissioner of build- ings, and Mr. Cook, city clerk. Mr. Hatch, instructor of United States history and civics, was allowed the use of the polling booth on School street, near the Cummings school. The few members of the class who are not taking civics were allowed to vote also. 'The officers voted for were as follows: Gov- ernor. lieutenant-governor, secretary, treasurer, auditor, attorney-general, county commissioner, and sheriff. Yes or no was voted on the follow- ing question: That the state constitution should be amended to the effect that hereafter our na- tional senator may be elected by popular vote. The students who served as officers at the polls were: Edward II. Cole, warden: Francis Rourke, deputy warden: Arthur W. Leighton, ftentab TRlub 'I'he Kemail Klub opened the first of the sea- son's meetings last month. Election of officers resulted as follows: President. Janet Grieve; sec- retary. Edna Ross; treasurer. Jennie Sherman. clerk; bred J. Ellis, Clayton E. Robinson. Misses Ruth Young. E. Lena Clark. Beulah F. Sprague, and Viola A. Brittain, assistants. The election was held in a proper dignified manner, in .every way following the real state election. The ballots were typewritten sheets, copied from the official ballot, and stamped with the English High School seal. Precautions were taken against repeaters. One was apprehended and taken into custody by the warden. ()nc hundred and sixty-three ballots were cast, one being thrown out, and the Republicans re- ceived the majority of the ballots. “Yes” re- ceived the greater number of votes on the ques- tion of the amendment. The members of the Senior class, who have been following the state campaigns and elections in the study of civics, feel that they received more practical knowledge of voting in this manner than they could have received by any other method.

The game was rough, and was an exhibition of old-style foot- ball rather than the new. Parks received a kick in the face on the first play, but continued to play. Dardis. however, was not as fortunate, having his hip injured so that he had to leave the field and stay out of the game for a week. He will prob- ably play against Malden. Boston Latin kicked off to Parks, who ran it back twenty yards through a ragged field. Gar- land made twenty yards on the next play. Som- erville fumbled, but recovered the ball, only to lose it on a forward pass. Milmore held Boston for no gain, but Somerville was penalized for being offside. Murray. Boston Latin's left halfback, made twenty yards around Grant's end. Somer- ville recovered the ball on a forward pass, punted, and the period closed. Latin School had the ball on their thirty-yard line at the opening of the second period. After making their first down. Boston Latin made ten yards around Somerville's right end. and on the next play thirteen around our left end. Giles broke through and tackled Murray for a loss of three yards, forcing Latin to punt. Dardis caught the punt, but made no gain. Then Parks, Dardis. and Doanc made large gains, and a for- ward pass, Dardis to Kolseth. placed Somerville within scoring distance. Parks, Milmore. and Doanc tore through the line, placing the ball on the five-yard line. Doanc went over, but Kolseth failed to kick the goal. Somerville kicked off to Latin in the third pe- riod. and after punts and fumbles Somerville re- ceived the ball and made large gains through the line, but was unable to score. Latin was penal- ized fifteen yards for holding. I he fourth period opened with Somerville’s ball on the thirty-seven-yard line. A forward pass. Garland to Kolseth. netted ten yards, but a second attempt failed. Latin failed to gain, and punted to Parks. Garland and Doanc made ten yards, placing the ball on Latin's five-yard line. Then Hanscom went over for the second touchdown, and Kolseth kicked the goal. Somerville placed to keep Latin from scoring, and the period ended. Parks and Garland played well for Somerville, Parks making great gains through centre. Logan SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 46 and Grant played hard and well for the visitors.

Cambridge did not cross our goal line, but made two goals from placement. Both were kicked by Yolk, Cam- bridge's star halfback, who made most of the gains through and around the Somerville line. The first goal was kicked from the thirty-five-yard line, fifteen yards from the side line. Yolk kicked the other in the last period. Somerville found the visitors were more than was expected, and failed to score in the first period. After seven consecutive plunges, Doanc scored in the second period. Somerville did not score again. The game was played through a shower, which made the ball slippery and the field heavy and muddy. 'The Cambridge team did not keep to its reputa- tion. that of being an easy team. Somerville found it decidedly otherwise, and was unable at times to hold the Cambridge backs. Garland hurt his shoulder, and will be out of the game for two weeks. The summary:— SOMERVILLE.

The record crowd for the year, so far, saw the game, numbering ( ,000. Mayor W oods and several officials of the city were pres- ent, also Mayor Fall and many of the Malden city government. The game was full of penalties, most of them for holding. Malden received eighteen to Som- erville's thirteen. Malden was heavier, quicker, and better than our team. Steady line plunging by both teams, with occasionally an end ran. failed to score in the first period. The second period opened with Malden's ball on her fifty- four-yard line. A punt, which Parks fumbled and was recovered by Malden, placed her within scoring distance. Wescott went through the line for five yards, and a forward pass. Benoit to Lucas, scored. VVescott easily kicked the goal. Somerville braced and held Malden until the fourth period. This opened with the ball on Somerville's five-yard line, and on the first play, a forward pass by Wescott to Lucas, Malden got her second touchdown. Again VVescott kicked the goal. In this same period Dardis made his seventy-yard run for Somerville’s only touch- down. R. Benoit tried a forward pass, but Dar- dis leaped into the air, caught the ball, and sped down the field to Malden’s seven-yard line, where Wescott and R. Benoit forced him offside. Doane was given the ball, and on three succes- sive plunges through guard and tackle scored. Kolseth failed to kick the goal. Malden kicked to Kolseth, who ran it back twelve yards. Somerville was penalized five for being offside, and Kolseth punted to R. Benoit, who failed to gain materially. Malden then started off at a great pace for another touch- down. and doubtless would have succeeded, but the game ended. At times Somerville showed flashes of great form, but these did not last. During the last SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 47 period our backficld slowed up a bit. which was not surprising. Garland and Doane were pretty nearly done up after steady line-plunging time after time. Dardis was not given the ball as often as the others on rushes, but his defensive work was perfect. Pierce and Giles did great work, stopping many rushes through the line that were tagged for first down. Kowall broke through time after time, and spoiled many of Malden's plays. Kolseth also played a good, steady game, and got off some long, twisting punts that puzzled the Malden backs. The motto of this game was: “When in doubt, use Doane. and he made good every time. Parks made several good gains through centre, where Captain Milmore opened a large hole. R. Benoit, Wescott, Lucas, and Milliken were Malden's most consistent ground gainers, with Turner close after them. The summary:— MALDEX. SOMERVILLE. Lucas (Butler), l.e r.e..

The visitors were light, and showed lack of practice. Somerville won easily, using a lot of substitutes in the latter half. Bill Parks was unable to play, having a bad leg. and Coach White did not want to run any risks with the Dorchester game close at hand. Pitman filled Parks’ position, and played a good game. Somerville showed the same slowness and tired appearance shown in the Malden game, and only that the visitors were light and an easy team, the score might have been reversed. At times flashes of the 1910 championship style were shown, and Somerville braced and held Tech, for downs when necessary. Both teams used old- style line-bucking and end runs throughout the game. Somerville scored in the first period after an interchange of punts and two fumbles. After two line-plunges by Garland and one by Doane, the ball was carried over for Somerville's first score. Kolseth kicked the goal. Tech kicked olf to Garland, who ran it back seven yards. On the next play a fumble gave Tech the ball. The period closed before another play. The next score came in the third period. Somerville kicked off to Bryant, who ran the ball back five yards. He then made two yards through centre. Somerville secured the ball on a fumble, and Pitman. Hanscom. and Doane made first down. Dardis fumbled the ball be- hind his own goal, making a touchback. It was now Tech’s ball on Somerville's twenty-five-yard line. Pitman caught Tech’s punt, running it back thirty-five yards. Dardis made three, and Doane seven, through the line. Doane making the second touchdown. Kolseth failed to kick the goal. Neither side scored again. The summary:— S( )M ER VILLE. TECII SOPI K )M( )RES. Fisher (Grant), l.c....r.c., Morrison (Booth) Kolseth (Anderson), l.t..........r.t..

It re- sulted in a tie. 5 to 5. The game was full of fast 48 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR and brilliant playing by both teams. Garland and Frazer were tile stars of the game, making several fast and thrilling plays. A most notice- able feature was the cheering. Somerville has been somewhat weak in this department of the game, but seemed to wake up at Dorchester, and some very good singing and cheering resulted. Let us hope this will continue. Frazer opened the game by a kick-off that went behind Somerville's goal line. The ball was brought out to our twenty-five-yard line, and the game began. Steady line-bucking and end runs, with occasionally a punt, was the work of the first period. Garland was the most con- sistent ground gainer for Somerville this period. Neither side scored. Somerville rushed the ball to within five yards of Dorchester’s goal, when the period closed, with one yard to go for first down, and then one yard to go for a touchdown. At the beginning of the second period Dor- chester braced, but Doane made first down, and on the next play Garland went over for the touchdown. lie punted out to Dardis, but failed to kick the goal. Somerville now kicked to Dorchester, who punted back on the next play. Garland fumbled the punt, but Parks recovered. This period was a repetition of the first, each team punting as soon as it received the ball. At the close the ball was in the centre of the field, neither team having much advantage over the other. In the third. Fraser kicked to Garland, who ran it back twenty yards. Somerville was forced to punt. Rauschal made thirteen yards in two rushes, followed by Mullane, with seven yards in two rushes. Dorchester worked the ball to Somerville's five-yard line, where Somerville held for downs. Garland punted to Dyke, who ran it in twenty-five yards. By steady line-plunging Fraser. Rauschall, and Mullane got the ball on Somerville's seven-yard line, and Fraser went through left tackle and guard for a touchdown. He failed to kick the goal. In the last period the ball was near the centre of the field most of the time until, near the close, Somerville was on Dorchester’s fifteen-yard line. Fraser tried a goal from placement on the twenty-eight-yard line and failed. Doane made a forty-yard run in this period. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. DORCHESTER.

Among the promi- nent spectators were Mayor Woods, of Somer- ville. Mayor Walker, of Waltham, and Lieutenant- Governor Louis A. Frothingham. Mayor Woods and Lieutenant-Governor Frothingham were the guests of Waltham's mayor. Coach Dickinson, of last year’s eleven, was present in the grand stand. The field was somewhat heavy after two days' rain, and prevented the backs from getting up much speed. ( Hherwise the conditions for a good game could not have been bettered. Both teams were supported by a big cheering section, which knew its business, and attended to it under the able leadership of the leaders. Both teams were heavily penalized, Somerville receiving a total of loo yards to Waltham’s fifty-five. This does not say that Somerville deserved all that, at least, in the minds of the spectators and some others. Yet Somerville won. Pitman was sent out of the game for insolence to the officials, and Smith, of Waltham, was taken from the game for deliber- ately slugging Kowall. Garland was easily the star for Somerville, while Cobb. Barry, and Filson played good ball for the losing team. Somerville held Waltham for downs three times, while Waltham held Somer- ville only once. Somerville was the first team to cross the Red and White’s goal line this year. FIRST PERIOD. Waltham lost the toss, and Somerville elected to defend their goal. Filson kicked off to Pitman on his sixteen-yard line, and Pitman ran it back SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 49 forty-five yards. Garland punted to Andrews, who ran it back twenty. Harry and Moody made three yards through the line, and then 1 harry was thrown for a loss. Filson punted to Parks. Dardis and Garland made eight yards, then Gar- land was tackled for a loss and Somerville forced to punt. Waltham failed to gain, and Filson punted to Pitman, who ran it hack seven yards. Parks failed to gain materially, and Garland punted to Andrews. Harry and St. George made seven yards, and then Howler was thrown for a loss of six yards on a tackle around play. This gave Somerville the ball on downs. Garland im- mediately punted, and Duncan was hurt tackling. Kowall broke through the Waltham line and blocked a line rush. Filson punted. Pitman fumbled, and Captain Milmore fell on the ball. Garland punted offside. An end-around play netted Waltham nine yards, but Andrews chose to punt, the kick going offside, and Pitman securing the ball. Garland punted offside, and the period closed. Somerville, 0: Waltham, 0. SECOND PERIOD. Waltham had the ball on Somerville's thirty- three-yard line. A quarterback rush failed to gain, and a fake place-kick, being a delayed pass, gave Waltham three yards. Three plunges against Somerville’s line failed to make the dis- tance. and Somerville got the ball on downs. Garland and Doanc made first down three times in successive line plunges. Garland punted, and Filson ran the kick back ten yards. Filson kicked to Pitman, who was unable to gain at all. Gar- land made eight yards and then punted offside. Waltham worked a pretty forward pass, Andrews to St. George, giving them twenty yards, and plac- ing the ball on Somerville’s twenty-yard line. Stankard made five yards, but then Somerville braced, and Waltham was unable to gain. Filson now tried a goal from placement on the thirty- five-yard line, but the kick went short and to one side, Somerville getting the ball on her twenty- nine-yard line. End of the period. Somerville, 0; Waltham. 0. THIRD PERIOD. Parks kicked off to Moody on Waltham’s twenty-yard line. Moody running the ball back ten yards. Two rushes gave Waltham eight yards, and then Pitman secured an onside kick. Pitman lost five yards on end-around play. Garland kicked offside, and on the next play Stankard made thirty yards on an end-around play. Filson and Andrews then made seventeen yards in two rushes, but Somerville held and forced Filson to kick t Pitman, who ran it back twenty. Pitman was disqualified, and Grant took his place. The rest of the period consisted of line-bucking and punts, neither team having the advantage, except perhaps for Somerville, when Garland made his sixty-five-yard run, only in be penalized fifteen for another player’s illegal use of hands. FOURTH PERIOD. Somerville had the ball on Waltham's twenty- three-yard line, and on the first play Garland made twenty-two yards, placing the ball on Waltham's one-vard line, lie went over the goal line on the next play, and punted out to Dardis on the twenty- two-yard line. Parks failed by about six inches on the try for goal. Somerville kicked off to Filson on his ten-yard line, who ran it back fifteen yards. Filson then, kicked to Garland, who fumbled. Stankard recov- ering. Somerville secured the ball soon on a for- ward pass, which Parks intercepted. Doanc made- five. Garland punted, and Giles recovered the ball? on a free fumble. Garland was thrown for a loss of five yards on a misunderstanding of signals. Smith was disqualified for slugging, and Waltham penalized twenty-five yards. Waltham secured the ball on a forward pass, and Cobb made nine yards on a cross-tackle play. Parks caught an onside kick, running it in five yards. Garland made nine. Somerville was penal- ized fifteen. Doane made two. Garland fifteen, and then Somerville punted. Dardis nailed the man in his tracks.With three minutes to play. Filson punted to Garland. Garland. Doane, and Parks made thirty-nine yards in six rushes, and then Garland punted to Filson. An interchange of punts and the game was over. Somerville, 5; Waltham, 0. The summary :— SOM ERVILLE.

TEeain Captain Earl Dickson and Manager Carl Holmes, of the hockey team, arc looking forward to a successful season. The team will have sev- eral of last year's men. and it is expected that a large number of candidates will report to fill the vacant positions. Manager Holmes has arranged a long schedule with some of the fastest and best high school and academy teams in the state, so that if some games have to be canceled because of weather conditions, there will still remain enough to satisfy the most ardent enthusiast. Most of the games are at home on Droadway field, where it is expected a rink will be erected exclusively for hockey. Some of the league games are scheduled to be played at the Poston Skating Rink- on St. Botolph street. If you can play hockey in the least, come out. and Captain Dickson will do his best to make a player of you. ■ ■ ----------------—— Btbletic Chat Cheering has taken a rise, and the team has done better work. Keep it up. Some class to that seventy-yard run of Dardis’ in the Malden game. Everett High. November 19. Rindge, November 24. Lamont showed up surprisingly well in the Dor- chester game. He kept up to his excellent, newly-made form in the Waltham game. Only two more games. Make it twice as good. Lamont. Why didn't I lob kick that goal at Dorchester? Just because (a girl's reason). Notice! Will any members of the class of 1912, Latin School, wishing to be sporting editor next year please notify the sporting editor? Waltham was the first team Somerville has played against this year to use the onside kick. Somerville got “on to it every time. Some of the things next month’s Kaihatok will contain: Result of football season; number of games played, won. lost, and tied: standing of both Interscholastic and Suburban Leagues; num- ber of point Somerville has scored and number of points her opponents have scored; and the hockey schedule. Kolseth has been unable to play because of the three-months’ rule. If 2,000 Somerville people can afford to go to Waltham (one-half being High School students), surely they can afford to see Somerville play at home. All out November 19. Everett will put up as good a game as Waltham. Of course you all are going Thanksgiving. ♦ Hlumm iRotes [Continued from page 44.J Edmund Arnold.

There was nothing to do on deck, so I was busying myself in my stateroom, when the steamer came to a full stop. That is why I did not see the beginning. It seems that the fog lifted a little, and the watchman descried some distance off on the hori- zon a small rowboat manned with several men. Of course we turned out of our way at once toward them, and when I came on deck the boat was already alongside of our steamer, and all the passengers watching. Not a word was said: not a command given. Every one knew just what to do. The rope ladder was let down. By means of cables that were lowered, two of the men. one in the how. the other in the stern, steadied the boat while the others one by one climbed up the ladder, which at times swung out to sea with the sailor clinging to it. We made way for the men as they came. Poor fellows! weather beaten, un- kempt. drenched to the skin. Among the last was the mate, who with one hand held two kittens under his coat (we could see their heads peeping out), while with the other he managed to cling to the ladder as he climbed. The men were ready to talk : we were eager lis- teners. and followed their story with keen interest. Their steamer. West Point, bound for Savannah with a cargo of freight, got on fire. When they found this was beyond their control, they still had time enough to collect luggage and food before abandoning the vessel. They made two boat- loads. the captain and second mate, with fourteen older men. in one; the first and third mates, with fourteen younger men. in the other. There were three kittens; the captain took the white one. the first mate the other two, a black and a maltcse. ()n board their steamer were rats in great num- bers. These swarmed upon the deck, and the men saw the rails lined with them as they rowed away. For several days and nights the boats kept to- gether. rowing as far as possible in the path of the ocean steamers as laid down on their charts. The fog was heavy, and the fifth night they be- came separated. The following day we rescued one of the boats. The men were anxious for their captain. If only we knew he was saved!” they cried. One of the rescued sailors was a mere bov. a lad of nineteen, haggard and spent with anxiety and exposure to the elements. It was his first experience of sea-faring life. We asked if the crew were tractable and obedient. “Yes,” was the reply, “a fine set of men. but.” added the first mate, drawing a revolver from his pocket, “this was ready for the first sign of mutiny. The fog had settled again. Our steamer, the Devonian, cruised about for more than four hours, blowing the fog horn at frequent intervals. Our “Marconi man. as we called him. was occupied all the while with the wireless telegraph, informing other ocean steamers of the missing boat and our efforts to find it. Then came back in reply that they would be on the lookout: we might continue on our course. The next day the Mauretania picked up the second boat. ------32— SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 57 H J ule ttt e flbbantom JBeulab Cburcbt '13 LARISSA lU'RXIIAM. a junior at Wellesley College, invited five of her classmates, Elsie, Vivienne, Mar- guerite. Madeline, and Florence (their last names don’t count, as they never used them), to form a house party at her home in Brookville for the Christmas holidays. The second day after their arrival Clarissa’s father and mother were called away, and the girls, together with a mischievous young brother, were left to their own resources for amusement. It snowed and hailed all day. and as night came on the storm increased in violence. In the even- ing they had the maid build a roaring wood fire in the large, old-fashioned fireplace, and. turning the lights down low. they all gathered around it. watching the sparks play hide-and-seek, and pic- turing all sorts of forms and phantoms in the flickering shadows that danced fantastically on the wall behind them. They popped corn and roasted chestnuts, while the wind shrieked and moaned piteously like some human being in distress. The blinds rattled and the casements shook, as if the outside elements were jealous of the merriment within. A gentle tapping on one of the windows made them all look suddenly around, and there, to their amazement, they saw a large, grinning, fiery face pressed close against the window. They quickly saw through the joke, and Clarissa led the laugh- ing girls to the door, where they found the mis- chievous brother, dripping, but happy at the suc- cess of his trick. They dragged him forcibly back to the fireplace, where they determined to keep a watchful eye over him for the rest of the evening. After all.” exclaimed Vivienne, what a night it would be for spooks and discontented spirits to leave their graves and prowl around!” ‘‘What interesting, creepy things they are! Don’t you enjoy reading about them? inquired Florence. Oh. girls!” exclaimed Clarissa, “there’s Dickens' ‘Christmas Carol’! Just the thing! Let’s read about Marlev's ghost and that in- evitable chain of his!” They were soon deeply engrossed in Scrooge and his ghostly adventures, when suddenly the loud buzzing of an alarm clock directly behind them brought them back to earth with a jump. The book which Marguerite was reading turned a somersault and flew wildly into the fire, and before they could snatch it out was a mass of flames! With shrieks of laughter, bordering on hysterics, they once more pounced on that small brother, Jasper, and then settled down, determined not to allow their nerves to be shaken again by his pranks. As we have now no book to read, why not tell ghost stories?” proposed Elsie. Yes, indeed. I. for one. don’t intend to be frightened by tricks on my imagination. declared Florence. Xor I.’’ echoed the others, “no matter how fan- tastic they may be.” As Vivienne was a very good story-teller, they voted to have her begin. “I don’t believe I can think of anything origi- nal. she said, but I will try to tell a story I read a short time ago.” She proceeded to tell how once upon a time an heir to some vast estates tried to gain possession of the property by getting his uncle out of the way. He obtained a hideous mask and covered it with phosphorus. His uncle was of a melan- choly. superstitious nature, and would often take lonely walks on dark evenings through his grounds. On one of these occasions the nephew planned to put on the mask and leap at him with upraised, phosphorus-smeared hand out of the darkness, hoping thus to cause his sudden death, lie managed so well that he finally succeeded in killing his uncle, but soon died a victim of re- morse. Just as she finished the story they heard deep, subterranean noises, with now and then a peculiar rumbling sound, and could hear a chain being slowly dragged across the cellar floor! They listened breathlessly, then one bv one the stairs began to creak! They were too frightened to move at first, but little Jasper, full of the courage of youthful innocence, grabbed a candle, and thus reassured, they trooped out to investigate. Nothing could be found: they concluded it might be owing to the cold weather snapping the wood and performing the tricks it plays with old houses. 5« SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR This put an end to the stories for that night, and as it was getting laic, they decided to retire for the night. Each of the girls was given a candle, and all filed up the long staircase to their bedrooms on the next floor. The house was a rambling old mansion of the colonial type, which had been recently remodeled: there was a long hall running the whole length of the house, and rooms opening off from it on each side. Florence occupied a room by herself on the northwest corner of the house. The wind still wailed dolefully. She could not close her eyes for some time, but after a while she fell into a troubled sleep, only to be awakened a little later by a most nerve-racking sound. It sounded like the clank- clank of chains. The stories of last night rushed to her memory ; she sat up in bed and listened, while the stealthy sound came nearer and nearer! It seemed to be coming directly toward her door! At last she could stand the strain no longer. One wild shriek and her senses left her! W hen she regained consciousness her friends were all standing around her, anxious to know the cause of her alarm. She told them as best she could. Suddenly her alarm was pictured on each of the other faces, when they heard the clank- clank coming through the hall! Almost too frightened to move, they stood huddled together, with eyes gazing spellbound at the door! Nearer and nearer it came—at last it was at the door? Then, a sound of heavy breathing, a sudden push- ing open of the door, and there came calmly walk- ing into the room the huge watchdog, Nero, with his broken chain dragging behind him. £bc Oift 36y ii c n ic 1R. IRooers, ’12 God rest you, merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ, our Saviour, Was born upon this day.” clear winter air rang with the i quaint words of the old carol. Pres- ently the hearty, if unmelodious, voices subsided, and a mufllcd con- vcrsaiion was succeeded by steps on the gravel outside and a vigorous ringing of the bell. The door of the library opened. It’s the waits, sir.” 'Hie bent figure seated before the roaring fire stirred slightly. All rigiit, give them sixpence and a glass of ale apiece. They deserve it.” The door closed noiselessly, and a few minutes later the driveway echoed to the crunching feet and farewell blessings of the departing minstrels. The silent figure in the depths of the huge old chair did not move, and as quiet settled again over the night, an atmosphere of unutterable loneliness seemed to steal into the immensity of the room, as if to mock the words of the ancient carol. The blazing fire of logs alone gave life to the scene, and as the crackling flames leaped up the cavern- ous chimney, the vague and shifting shadows on the paneled walls sprang into clear and definite form, then, as the flames died, returned again to their former indistinctness. In all directions the features of half-distinguish- able portraits stood out in ghostly outline. Their eyes seemed, in the obscurity, to be turned in pity- ing sympathy towards the sole inhabitant of the chamber, as if longing to give him comfort and support. His form was that of an old man. His shoul- ders, bent and rounded as though with the cares and troubles of a hard and anxious life, were dominated by a head of massive and noble pro- portions. crowned with the silver coronet of ad- vanced age. 11 is face, once evidently of great beauty, was lined and furrowed bv the plough of time, while now there brooded over the firm mouth and jaw and in the deep-set eyes an expres- sion of infinite and overpowering melancholy, al- most of despair. Suddenly one of the burning logs fell, scattering its embers in every direction. The old man started, awoke from his reverie, bent forward, and shoved them back into the heap of smouldering ashes at his feet. ' “God rest you, merry gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay ” His lips moved, and almost involuntarily the words formed themselves. Christmas eve fifty years ago, fifty years ago! SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 59 Oh, my God! I have been loyal, loyal, but at what a cost! She died with my salvation on her lips, blit—unsaid. Yes, I cursed her in my agony, mad fool that 1 was, and now have re- pented bitterly of my words for fifty years. My money would not save me. and they dragged me to a felon's prison, a forger and thief in the eyes of the world, then and now. The last of my race, a—jailbird!” The feeble frame writhed with the mental anguish that tortured more than physical dis- tress. “Almost at this hour she died, with the un- spoken confession on her lips. Ah! Alice, my wife. 1 loved you, love you yet, hut I loved honor more, your honor and—ours. At times I doubted the existence of a God and of Him whose birthday is to-morrow. Hut I have been wrong, wronged and wrong. Here I am punning on my misery like poor old John of Gaunt, but,— “'Let nothing you dismay.’ “Perhaps those words carry a message to me, and there is some mysterious working of good through evil, after all. perhaps, perhaps. The silvery head fell slowly forward upon his breast, and sleep ministered its soothing balm to the troubled heart. A servant knocked at the door, opened it on re- ceiving no answer, and. seeing her master asleep, noiselessly replenished the smouldering fire and as quietly retired. The fresh log fell with a slight noise and scat- tering of sparks. The sleeper stirred, opened his eyes, and looked vacantly into the glowing heart of the embers, as if unconscious of his surround- ings. Suddenly he spoke. Is any one here? I thought I heard a voice calling me. 'Hie room was silent. The old man rose nervously and poked the fire into a semblance of life. It must be late. he continued to himself. I have thought enough for to-night, more than enough, God knows! He turned, and then—a strange look of joy and fear overspread his face. A cry burst from his parted lips. He stepped forward and stretched out his trembling arms. Alice! Alice, my wife! you, after all these years? In the semi-darkness. near the door stood a woman’s figure, dressed in the fashion of a bygone generation, her hair brushed smoothly back and parted over a face of surpassing sweetness, a figure of youth and budding womanhood, lovely, sweet, yet sad. The features of the old man glowed with ecstasy, mingled with an anxiety that showed itself in his words. Is it really you. or a phantom of my thoughts conjured up by a tired brain and a weary heart? Alice! With this appeal, he moved towards the figure as if to clasp it in his arms. Hut the form raised her hand, and a voice fell like a healing spirit on his ear. Have patience a little while longer, my hus- band: the mission for which I came has not yet been accomplished. Know that I come to prove your guiltlessness to the world, that the stain upon your family honor may be removed forever. Death overtook me before I had time to reveal my secret, and the rest was ordained by Him who governs all. The reward of your faithfulness is near. Come. The visitant turned, and, fol- lowed by the awestruck, yet rejoicing, man. left the room. They traversed together the deserted stairway and hall, lit dimly by the pale beams of the moon, and at length reached the chamber where fifty years before, at the same hour, the mistress of the mansion had passed to her long home. The apparition opened the door, ad- vanced to the head of the lied, and pointed to a certain spot in the wall. There, years ago. I hid the document that proved your innocence, and in a misdirected effort to shield the guilty, placed the one I loved best in jeopardy. That was what I tried in vain to tell with my dying breath, but fate was stronger. 1 be- hind that panel you will find my Christmas gift. Xow farewell for a little space, and then-------” W ith a smile of wondrous beauty, the vision was gone. The old man. his limbs weak with joy. stumbled to the spot, pressed a hidden spring, and there before him in the first gray light of the dawning Christmas lay the dust-covered talisman of his soul. W ith trembling fingers he plucked it gently forth and sank on his knees beside the bed. Alice! he murmured, Alice, my wife!” Late on Christmas morning he was found by the servants, the precious gift clasped in his rigid fingers, and a smile of peace and rest transfiguring his countenance. 6o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR tEbe IRatlroab XLelegrapbet 36 ) IE. 3. JBootbbg, IE., ’ll KLEGRAPHERS arc divided into two classes, railroad and commercial; the duties of each class arc many and varied. The duties of those in the railroad service are especially varied. There are four groups.'—despatchers, towermcn, stationmen, and operators. Each division of a road has its chief despatches under whom work several despatchers, the num- ber depending on the si .e of the division. 1 heir dutv lies in the running of trains according to their schedule and class, and their responsibility is greatly increased in arranging meeting points for trains on those divisions where single track still exists. Thev are also obliged to keep a complete record of the arrivals or departures, or both, of all trains at a majority of the stations. These records, all being made from the wire, keep the despatcher busy whenever he is not busy with train orders. Despatchers are chosen according to their fitness and experience. Next in order come the towermcn. At every junction, where there are many trains in different directions, is placed a tower, in which are levers to operate the switches, and the signals governing these switches. The men in these towers are re- quired to be good telegraph operators, as well as to be in good enough physical condition to throw these levers. They have to keep their own record of the arrivals or departures of trains at that point, and report these trains to the despatcher for his record. These men are paid well, and work but eight hours, except in cases Of emergency, and then they are fully paid for any overtime. In case of vacancy in any of these towers, the position is advertised over the entire division, and the men who wish for it notify the superintendent of that fact. After a certain length of time, the position is given to the man oldest in service, provided he is capable. In this way each man has an equal chance. Now let us consider the station agent. It is doubtful if there is another class of men in the railroad service who has such varied duties as the agent. His duties depend largely on the size of the station. Take, for instance, a small station where there is need of but one man. He is obliged to be at his station most of the time, and usually has to work twelve or more hours. He has to tend the fire, clean the station, in winter keep the platform clear of snow and ice. to carry the mail to and from the post-office, take care of any baggage or freight there may be, attend to his reports, in fact, do everything there, is to be done, and then get. as a rule, the minimum pay allowed. lint in a large station all is different. The sta- tion is in charge of the agent, under whom there are specified men to do the janitorial and rough work of handling baggage and freight, and a man is appointed to carry the mail. But in this sort of a station the agent has numerous difficult reports to be handled each month, for which he usually has one or more assistants, who also attend to the telegraph work. These agents are appointed in the same way as the towermcn. according to length of service. Now remains the operator, whose duties vary as the position he holds. He is required to be at his post nearly all the time he is on duty, and there are many cases where his attention to busi- ness and quickness have saved whole trains. An excellent example of this is offered by the follow- ing: Two fast trains had been given orders to meet at one station east of the regular meeting place. In his hurry, the engineer of the west- bound train read his order wrong, and thundered by the right siding on toward the one where he usually met the other train, which was at the same time coming at full speed toward him. When the •operator at the station where they were supposed to meet reported this to the despatcher. the latter, knowing a collision was almost unavoidable, snapped the signal at the operator at the other siding to hold east-bound trains. As chance would have it. he was right at his key. He heard the signal, reached up and released the train order signal, and responded his (). K. just as the east-bound thundered into the station. He stood motionless. Had he been quick enough? Yes. The engineman. having seen the light on the signal change suddenly from proceed to “stop,” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 61 suspected something was wrong, and stopped his train in as few feet as was possible. The operator notified him. and succeeded in getting the train into clear, when the train which had run by its stop came, and no damage was done. Had that operator not attended strictly to busi- ness. and been quick, or had he sauntered out on the platform to see the train go by. these two ex- presses would have met somewhere in the woods, and nothing could have prevented them from burning, to say nothing of the number of lives that would have been lost or persons injured. There are operators employed in every engine- house. yard office, etc.: others work in stations, where they assist the agent, besides attending to the wire work. The duties of the other chief class, the commer- cial operators, are generally to receive and trans- iliit messages offered by the public, and have not that general air of excitement which railroad work- offers. There is no better thing for a young fellow to devote his spare time to than telegraphy, because it affords excellent opportunities for very pleasant summer work, and with enough ambition one can nearly work his way through college. tLbc (Sifts of Santa Claus By?

John McCollcstcr, the world is not filled with charitable people nowa- days. From across the hall drifted the sound of sweet music, and the Bachelor opened his door that he might hear more clearly. He loved music pas- sionately—not to make music himself, but to hear others make it. A quiet sigh broke from his lips as a sweet young voice began The Rosary.” ac- companied by the deep, pure tones of the piano. Young Halstead and his wife.” he soliloquized, “and I suppose Junior Boy is listening hard in his little bed, as he told me lie does. Cunning little shaver, that, and my! what dimples and what a smile!” The Bachelor’s own lips formed a merry smile as he shook his head slowly at the remem- brance of the little fellow who lived across the hall. Just then a knock sounded, and the Bachelor arose. A man stood outside his door, half hidden by a huge evergreen tree. “This yours, Mr. McCollcstcr?” “No, it is not mine.” McCollcstcr said emphatic- ally. Better try the opposite apartment, and he shut the door and returned to his chair before the fireplace. There it is—Christmas again! Christmas! Not all the morals they preach about giving influ- ence me. Silence, then puff. puff. puff. Still, it might be different with families. But they might be considerate for people who didn't care a rap about Christmas. Thank heavens. I don't have to give any presents. There was another knock at the door, and again McCollcstcr answered it. This time it was the neighbor from across the hall. McCollcstcr. I’m awfully sorry to bother you, but if you're going to be in this evening, would it be too much bother to keep an eye on Junior? said Mr. Halstead. Margaret just received word that her sister is arriving on the 8.-I0 train, and—” No bother at all. Halstead. I'll be glad to keep an eye on the boy. Bring him right over. the Bachelor interrupted. Junior, his pajamas covered by a wee bathrobe, came calling on that evening. “Be good. Junior, and Santa Claus will bring you something nice.” his mother told him. smiling, as she left him curled up in McCollester's chair. As soon as the door closed. Junior slid out of the chair and snuggled down on the huge rug. Mc- Collcstcr smiled at him. “Don't you want to go to bed. Junior Bov?” Junior sat tip quickly, his eyes wide open. Oh, no!

Santa Claus—another Christmas fable, and this poor child another victim! “Santa Claus! Who’s he? he asked. The child sprang up again, his blue eyes full of questioning wonder. “Don’t you know Santa Claus? Why, he’s the loveliest man—nicer even than—than—oh, the candy man down at the corner. He brings such lovely things Christmas—engines, and hobby- horses. and automobiles that go when you wind them up. and—just everything,” he said seriously. “You 'member now, don’t your “No.” McCollester said almost roughly. “How does he know who to bring things to? Why. you write him a note and tell him. and you put it on the fireplace, and he comes and gets it. And then Christmas morning you get most everything you asked for. Seriously the boy ex- plained Santa Claus’s mission. “There isn’t any Santa Claus, the Bachelor said in a strange voice. Junior Boy dashed to his feet. What! Why. Mr. Jack, there is, too! he cried defiantly. He comes to every one who tries to be good, and I g-guess you don’t try— but I know you are good. Mr. Jack—I rather think you've forgotten, he said softly. “Christ- mases are so far apart, you know, and you're such a big. busy man that perhaps you forget.” Something in the pleading little voice made the Bachelor hesitate, then he said: Yes. Junior Boy, I think that I forgot.” Junior Boy climbed up into McCollcster's lap. and told of all the gifts he had asked for. I asked nnivver. when she read my letter, if she thought he’d bring them all. but she laughed and said: ‘Look for everything except the “really truly automobile.” Junior. I'm afraid that will be too big to come in the pile.' So of course I really don’t expect that, he said in that odd little seri- ous voice. Junior Boy was asleep in the Bachelor's arms when his father called for him. But lie opened his eyes once, smiled at the Bachelor, and murmured sleepily: You’ve forgotten, but there really is a Santa Claus, Mr. Jack.” McCollester resented the look the boy’s father gave him then, but later he forgave it readily. That night the Bachelor had a dream. It was of his childhood, when he believed in all the charms of St. Nicholas. And there came into the dream, as he had come in life, an older boy who took away the charm, the delight of dear old Santa C laus. After the disillusionment. McCollester cared no more for Christmas, and. as Junior Boy had said, he had forgotten, but because he tried and wished to forget. But the dream taunted him when he awoke. Poor little Junior Boy! Horrid old McCollester. who would tear away the veil of joy and confidence from a trusting little lad! Xo wonder Halstead had glared so. Supposing, after all. Junior should ponder on his cruel words. ()f course he was young, but McCollester had needed no great amount of hints to lose his trust in the Christmas saint, and that trust had been as confident and loving as Junior Boy’s. To-night would be Christmas Eve; to- morrow Junior’s hopes would be realized. Funny little fellow to want the really truly automobile ! And he would be disappointed, too—there would be another cause to help along the distrust. McCollester sat for a long time at his breakfast table. There was a grim air of determination about him when he arose and put on his overcoat. An hour later he was knocking at Halstead’s office door down town. Halstead greeted him coolly, but when McCollester told him his errand, Junior Boy’s father’s manner thawed. We want our boy to believe in him as long as he will. he said. And 1 couldn’t understand why you should wish to disillusion him. Poor little chap! But I’m glad. McCollester. that you came, else I should have misunderstood and kept on misunderstanding.

The train was 011 the down grade north of the Warren Summit. ----and was running at a terrific speed, swinging around curve after curve with a frightful violence. The heavy curtains of the sleeper were swaying back and forth against the berths with a rhythmic click, joining the clackcty-clack chorus of the wheels. Presently I became aware of a peculiar odor in the air. resembling some drug: ether, I thought. As 1 lay idly wondering what was the cause of it. I heard that peculiar rustling noise made by per- sons who, in passing through the aisle, steady themselves by sliding their hands along the cur- tains. Two persons came along, passed my berth, and stopped at the one next to mine. By their voices I knew that they were men. and what they were saying brought me up sitting, and held me breathless, motionless, fearing lest the slightest movement should be heard. Did you have much trouble with him? asked one of tiie men in a barely audible tone. “Oh. not a great deal. replied the other: “lie started t struggle, so I put some chloroform under his nose, and he went right to' sleep.

They then passed on, leaving me able to breathe freely once more. But what mysterious crime had been committed in this berth side of me? Rob- bery? Murder? Who was the victim? I shud- dered to think that perhaps there was a corpse lying cold and stiff so near. Possibly I could secure the capture of the crimi- nals. even if 1 could not help the victim. I dressed quickly and sought the conductor, telling him what I had heard. He called the porter, who said he had just seen two men enter the smoking room. Thinking we had best secure the men first, lest they should take alarm and escape, we hastened to the smoking compartment. As we drew near, we heard voices, which I instantly recognized as belonging to the men wc wanted. The conductor entered and requested them to accompany him to their berth. They refused point blank to be disturbed, and upon his insisting that they accompany him. got up as if to make trouble, when they caught sight of the porter in the doorway, his right hand in his coat pocket, which bulged out conspicuously. They decided to go with us. although they pro- tested and argued the matter the whole way down the car. In a few second every one in the car was awake, and sleepy, irritated faces began to appear through the curtains, hurling sarcastic and indignant remarks at us. one voice even request- ing the porter to throw that noisy conductor off the car. They soon sensed the mystery in the air. and quieted down. The porter reached out and cau- tiously drew back the curtains of that dark, silent berth, trembling as if he expected a corpse to clutch his throat with its icy fingers. At first, in the wavering, uncertain light, the berth appeared empty. Then a quiet, still body could be seen lying huddled up in the corner. It must be a child! The crowd, now gathered in the aisle, sur- rounded the captured men with ominous looks and muttered threats. The passengers waited expectantly while the porter reached in and pulled out the body. As the light fell upon it. they gasped. 'That of a dog! The gasp of relief changed to one of amusement, while I began to feel decidedly cheap, after having raised all that hue and cry over a dog. 'Hie men still seemed uneasy. The conductor turned to them. Why are you carrying the dog around in this fashion, and in a passenger car?” Why—er. conductor. whined one of the men. we were afraid that he would get hurt by the trunks in the baggage car, or get lost. The missus thinks a heap of him. and I wouldn't dare to go home without him. Well, you will have to put him there now.” replied the conductor. As the men were untying the dog, one of the passengers spoke to them. Quite a nice dog you have there. [Continued on page '0 ] 64 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Once more the swiftly-moving finger of Time has reached December, and Christmas is almost upon us. Hundreds, thousands of people the world over are looking forward to this day. City streets are crowded with busy shoppers, and the great hue and cry, “I haven't done a thing yet for Christmas! is heard too frequently. Of late years it has seemed as though the true spirit of Yulctidc had been swallowed up by the more mercenary idea of exchanging gifts. If one receives a costly gift, is he in duty bound to re- ciprocate with a present just as costly in dollars and cents, be it appropriate or inappropriate, or whether he does or does not feel the inclination to do so? Surely this is not the interpretation of “peace on earth, good will to men. The sooner the world gets rid of the idea that C hristmas is a mere exchange of gifts, the better. The small boy. the big boy, every one who is so fortunate as to have a vacation at Christmas, will appreciate the few days (all too short) of pleasure and merry-making. Hoping our readers will enjoy a bountiful Christmas dinner, we wish you one and all A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” 91 V� 9l The football season is o'er! Long live football! The less said about the last few games on our schedule the better. The one bright light in the five closing games of the year was our defeat of Everett November 19. Truly we gave Rindgc a hard struggle Thanksgiving Day, and lost by only a scant margin. It was a great disappointment to the numerous followers of Somerville High School to sec a team which started in with such fine prospects fall down so rapidly. The team had a fine set of fellows this year, every whit as good as last year, but somehow, somewhere, the right spirit was lacking. It is not right to blame the team for all this lack of spirit: proper coaching is necessary in order to produce a championship winner. The expression, “Every knock is a boost, has many grains of truth in it, no doubt. Let us hope that the remembrance of this year will give us a team of the 1909 calibre next fall. � ()ur readers will notice some radical changes in this Radiatok. By our change in arrangement of material we are conforming to the style of the leading school papers of our own and of other states. The simplified cover design we believe to be more effective than the old, out-of-date picture cover. The staff would gladly welcome sugges- tions as to other improvements. The Radiatok hopes to publish a serial story this year. In order to do this we must depend upon the efforts of some willing worker, who is gifted with the power of writing. While it is not the policy of the Radiatok to offer a cash prize for a story of this sort, nevertheless we will guar- antee to supply the author of an accepted serial SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 65 with ten free copies of each issue of the Radiator during the months in which the serial shall run. Any one who is ambitious enough to try a se- rial is invited to confer with the editor-in-chief in Room 21 of the English High School. � � r We have the pleasure of presenting this month an extremely interesting article by Miss Kaan, of the Latin School faculty. It is an experience wit- nessed by Miss Kaan on her return from Europe this summer. r r. v The Somerville High Schools are always inter- ested in what their alumni are doing. We are es- pecially pleased to note the latest move of Post- master-General Frank II. Hitchcock. He person- ally led raids on two New York concerns charged with swindling the public of millions of dollars by fraudulent use of the mails. The past year he has brought out seventy-eight cases. The plans were carefully laid out months before he even started to reorganize the inspection service. 1'he results already accomplished represent only the begin- ning. During his term of office Mr. Hitchcock has greatly reduced the expenditures of the de- partment and saved the country much money. K. r k r . The recent rioting in Mexico, which was caused by the burning of a Mexican at the stake, seemed to threaten war. but now. through the good sense of the majority of Mexicans, as well as Americans, has nearly subsided. While we are studying his- tory. we are brought to realize that it is still going on in our own day. K. • r Honor is again bestowed upon Somerville High Schools through our well-known music teacher, Mr. Hadley. The Cecilia Society has invited 100 pupils to assist them in the production of “The Children's Crusade in Symphony Hall February 10. We hope this will be as great a success as Elijah was last year. K. . r Miss Helen F. Green, of Boston, formerly of Somerville, has just presented to the Latin School a large engraving. Yeduta Dell’ Arco di Tito.” This kind gift is greatly appreciated.

The coach was absent, and Ned Garland had charge of the team, assisted 76 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR by Cliff Bean. The team arrived at the field very early, and rather than-remain in the cold for an hour, Captain Milmore took the team to the Everett, Y. M. C. A. Here they had a room apart from the others, and waited until time to go to the field. While waiting they were spoken to by several graduates, who succeeded in arousing some spirit, with the result that Somerville won. The scoring was in the first period. Parks kicked off. and the ball was rushed back to the thirty-yard line. Everett punted to Parks, who fumbled. Garland recovering the ball and running twenty yards.

S., 5; Somerville, 3 Ritidge defeated Somerville. 0-3. in a very close game at Broadway field Thanksgiving Day. The game was clean, snappy, and hard-fought, each team trying their best to win. If Rindge won, it gave her the championship of the Interscholastic League: if Somerville won. there would have been a three-cornered tie between Somerville. Boston English High, and Rindge. Somerville’s only score came on a drop-kick from the thirty-seven-yard line by Parks. The ball dropped neatly over the cross-bar. giving the first score of the game. Rindge’s score was made in the second period by a forward pass. Caples to K rigger, made from the fifteen-yard line. This pass was quick and clean. K rigger being across the goal line almost immediately after the ball was put in play. Several prominent business and political men of Somerville were present, including Mayor Woods. Charles A. Burns, and many city officials. There were also a large number of old Somerville players on the sidelines, among them Leo Hafford. C liff Bean. Steve Mahoney. Xed Garland. “Pep Cousens. Herbert Stone, Charlie Dickerman. and the Pipe brothers. Parks and Garland played a good game for Somerville, while Hadley and Scully were the most consistent ground-gainers for Rindge. FIRST PERIOD.

English was penalized for holding five times, and twice for being offside. The less said about the Melrose game the bet- ter. Somerville came back and defeated Everett, 11 to o. That run of Doane’s at Everett, eighty yards for a touchdown, is the longest any school- boy has made this year around Boston. No one can say Rindge had an easy time Thanksgiving Day. The game was fought every minute, and if Parks had gotten within kicking distance twice, the score would probably have been a tie. There was real class to that drop, kicked from the thirty-seven-yard line. This was the first time for nine years Somerville has been defeated by Rindge: let it be the last for ninety- nine. A few more days under Steve Mahoney’s care and Somerville would have won. He de- serves great credit for getting the team into such good shape in three days. Why not hire Mr. Mahoney for next year’s coach? It seems to me it would be better to pay a little more and have a coach worth more. Somerville in the past has led in athletics. Is she going to give up now? Cer- tainly not. Three times three for the team that played Thanksgiving. They did their best, and should have credit for it. Malden scored both her touchdowns by forward passes, and Rindge scored her only one by the same play. It would pay Somerville to develop this play next year. The football squad will lose Captain Milmore, Pierce, Duncan, Fisher, Anderson, Eaton. Bick- ford. Snow. Coogan. Martin, and Clough. Eight of this year’s eleven will be back, with seven of this year’s substitutes. IX TE RSC H OLA STIC LEAGUE. Per Won . Lost. Tied. Cent. R. M. T.

Please don't refuse, Halstead,—it will only increase his faith in Santa Claus. And please come down town now and help me pick out Junior's own automobile.’’ There were few people who could resist a cer- tain honest fascination of Jack McCollester's, and Mr. Halstead was not of that few. He rolled down the top of his desk, put on his hat and coat, and went out with the Bachelor. Early the next morning the Bachelor leaned out of his front window, in answer to a series of strong toots. Junior Bov. squeezing the bulb, was watch- ing for his appearance. Smiling happily, he called to McCollcster. ’’Santa Claus brought even the automobile! Come down. Mr. Jack, come down!” Mr. Jack went down, two steps at a time. Mr. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 79 and Mrs. Halstead and Junior were there with true Christinas smiles and greetings on their lips. 'Isn't it grand? Junior Boy asked. “Oh. it was Santa Claus, and 1 told you he'd come. You re- member now, don't you, Mr. Jack? he asked. T remember now. Junior Boy. and I shall never forget again. answered the Bachelor solemnly. Then he laughed, a merry, rippling laugh. “Jump in and ride somewhere, and then come back for a Christmas breakfast in my rooms. Xo. I'll wait until afternoon for my ride. Bye-bye! and as the machine whizzed off down the street, he ran jubilantly up the stairs. In the hallway he sud- denly stopped short. “Frances! you here? 1 thought you were in Richmond! he exclaimed, as he held out his hand to a winsome girl. She came forward, smiling. Merry Christmas, Jack! I've been visiting Margaret since the night before last. And you didn't know her, she said reproachfully. “I'd never seen Margaret, you know, and I never connected her with you. But they’ve all gone out in the machine for a ride, and I’m going to serve this Christmas breakfast. You may set the table, he said laughingly. The table was set. and the Halsteads’ return was being waited. Suddenly John broke a rather embarrassing silence. From his vest pocket he took a little box. “Frances,” he said, it's been waiting for you since. Are you ready to let me put this on again as my Christmas gift to you? The girl held out her hand. “Oh. Jack. I'm only sorry that all I can return is myself, she said with a little laugh. Junior Boy looked puzzled. Aunt Frances has a new ring, but I can’t see that you have anything, Mr. Jack. What was the big thing Santa Claus brought you? Your Aunt Frances was my gift from Santa Claus, little Junior Boy.” But Junior Boy merely shook his head and rested his dimpled cheek in the palm of his hand. It's like the automobile. I guess. Father says I’ll understand when I'm bigger. And oh, Mr. Jack! I forgot to say Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, little chap, to you and to all. but mostly to St. Nicholas' gift. And he sent a merry smile across the table to the girl in the Christmas-red dress, with the spray of holly ber- ries twined in her dark brown hair. TTbe Silent fl asscnocr [Continued from page 63.1 Yes, yes, he's a fine dog. Must be quite valuable, isn’t lie?’’ ()h. yes. that is another reason why we wanted to keep our eye on him. Did you have much trouble in stealing him?” The men started violently, and tried to stammer a reply. I he passenger turned to the conductor, and said : ' That dog was on exhibition at the dog show in Boston as late as I o'clock yesterday afternoon. He is Sir Montford. the famous .$.! ,! )0() blue ribbon dog of the Waveland kennels. I am positive of it. What is he doing on this train traveling north, when he is supposed to be on exhibition all of the week? The men became confused, and after vainly try- ing to make explanations, were silent. The con- ductor motioned the porter and the brakeman to keep watch over them. At Woodsville, our next stop, the conductor learned over the telegraph that the dog had been stolen. I was glad to learn that my alarm had amounted to something, at least, and was not a case of Much Ado About Nothing.” Before the train left the police took charge of the prisoners and the dog. That was the last I heard of the case until my return home, some weeks later, when I received a visit from the owner of the dog. lie explained how one of the thieves, dressed as a keeper, had taken the dog out to exercise him, and had then stolen him. Shortly after his visit I received from him a present of a valuable dog, who. if you care to come and ask him. will vouch for this story.

TRaula, !£., '12 No. 1.—A South American Masquerade. HUGE fruiter, dazzling white in the tropical sun. came to rest at the dock with a final toot of her whistle and puff from her funnels. No sooner had her gang-plank vouched the shore than a young man. Ameri- can from tip to toe, rushed down to the wharf. In his wake followed a breathless steward, carry- ing a traveling bag on hich the initials “J. Y. A.” stood out in bold type. The traveler was Jackson Van Allen, 'varsity fullback and captain; now a proud possessor of the right to add B. A. to his signature. In fact, so great had been ’the strain required to obtain this valuable addition to his name. that, despite his three tutors, he felt the need of a vacation. So. we find this robust and healthy-looking col- legian seeking enjoyment by visiting, at his home in South America, a friend who had graduated the previous year from the same college. Gaz- ing at the broad shoulders and rosy countenance of this athlete, one would be inclined to doubt the need of mental or physical relaxation, and sus- pect that, perhaps, this was but a clever ruse to loosen the purse-strings of Henry Van Allen, millionaire broker, and father of “Jack Van Allen, “the greatest football player of all times, as he was hailed by admiring sporting editors. However, he evidently had obtained his end. and was soon noisily greeting his old chum. Ralph Wright. This individual was clad in the approved tropi- cal costume of white, and seemed to have ab- sorbed something of the languor of the country. His father was the consul at Porto Muno. the capital of Bravolia, a small South American re- public. and his son had obtained a lucrative posi- tion in the offices of the Consolidated Fruit Com- pany. This company practically controlled the ex- ports of the country, which were almost entirely fruit. Thus, they exerted an enormous influence on the business and politics of the republic. 'I bis condition had now been disturbed. Rich iron mines had been discovered in the mountainous region above the capital and only city. These had been immediately purchased by native capital- ists, and now the two interests were fighting for the control of the nation. Pedro Caliqucz, the president, was supported by the fruit company and by the city at large, while the mine owners and the hill-dwellers were arrayed on the side of one of their stockholders. Matters had reached a formidable crisis on the day that Van Allen landed in Porto Muno. Cali- quez seemed to have the lead, and it looked as though the fruit interests would be victorious in the coming elections. The two Americans sauntered slowly from the wharf to the American consulate. Van Allen was soon attired in spotless white, and the two occupied the hammocks on the broad veranda in full accordance with the ideals and customs of the natives. Wright explained the political situ- ation to his comrade and. of course, took his stand on the side of his employers. To show his confidence, the president had arranged a gor- geous masque for that evening, and Wright had planned this event as the first dose in Van Allen's rest cure. The collegian readily accepted the plan, but was unable to think of any costume. “Oh, that's all settled. laughed Wright, “you're to attend as a brigadier-general of the Bravolian army.” It sounds all right, replied Van Allen. What's yours?” I’m going disguised as one of our opponents, a mountaineer. answered the consul’s son. The two young men were ready about eight o'clock, and started towards the beautiful man- sion of the president. The night was ideal, and they elected to walk the short distance which separated the American consulate from the presi- dential villa. Van Allen was bedecked with straps and braids of gold lace which glistened in the dim light. His athletic build rendered his gorgeous uniform doubly impressive. 11 is friend had adopted the long, dark mantle and broad sombrero of a hill-man. They proceeded along the broad avenue lined with palms. On the corners and in the shadows of buildings and trees groups and knots of men SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «5 ■were gathered. They were conversing in low- tones and turned to gaze with astonishment at the sight of a Bravolian officer and a hill-dweller in ■company. Wright explained that since politics had be- come so unsettled the men of the city were ac- customed to discuss the situation in this myster- ious manner. The two walked on rapidly. As they passed a street light, the rays lit up the form and costume of one of a group which had formed in a shadowy corner. This man had stepped forward into the light to examine some- thing he held in his hand. Van Allen gazed at him curiously and then saw with astonishment that the man held a revolver. Look at that fellow. he whispered to right. The consul’s son turned his head. Great Scott! he ejaculated, that isn’t a city’ man. that’s a mountaineer.’’ The man looked up as he spoke, and they saw an evil visage clouded by the broad sombrero he wore. He drew his cloak closer around him. and withdrew into the shadow. I’d hate to have that face. laughed Van Allen. Xever mind the face. replied Wright, but something is going to happen. W’hat does the presence of all these hill-men mean? Thoughts of revolution and uprising filled Van Allen’s mind. He remembered the fickle temper of these South Americans, and how frequently the various republics were embroiled in civil strife. Wright, however, made no further comment, and they proceeded to the presidential residence. Here the leaders of the Caliquz faction were gathered and soon all were engaged with the pleasures and enjoyments of the evening in the ballroom. Van Allen was the object of much admiration from both sexes. Wright was the butt of many jokes on account of his costume. The fnasque went on merrily. The weather outside had suddenly changed, and the sky was m. e. The Wisteria Girls (all English, 'll) met Tuesday evening, January 3, at the home of the president. Helen E. Russell, of Burnside avenue. The members voted to hold a matinee party at the Boston theatre January ?. Games and music overcast. The air in the ballroom became hot and stuffy as when a thunder storm approaches. Van Allen, feeling the heat under his load of gold lace and plumed chapeau, left the room for a stroll on the terrace without. Suddenly he thought he saw something move at the base of a tree in the gardens below. Yes. he was sure a shadow was slowly creeping towards the terrace. He leaned forward, trying to pierce the increasing gloom. The terrace was high and the object of his sus- picions seemed to have crept into the dense shadow it gave. Suddenly he was struck from behind and he pitched forward to the foot of the terrace. He was on his feet in an instant, but with three pairs of hands groping for his throat. A short-arm punch brought forth a groan and one pair were gone. Van Allen could hardly see his assailants in the blackness at the foot of the terrace, but struck blindly at their shadowy forms. A knife gleamed over his head, and he grasped at the wrist of the hand that held it. This move- ment gave his other opponent an opportunity to get a hold, and Van Allen was thrown heavily. His head hit something hard on the ground and he lay stunned. The conspirators soon bound and gagged him. The latter precaution was hardly necessary, for the storm had already broken. The thunder peals resounded from the hills above the town and the lightning leaped from summit to sum- mit with terrible beauty. His captors lifted Van Allen to the top of the terrace and there left him. Inside the ball-room the dance went on gaily, the band drowning the crashes of thunder. Van Allen saw with amaze- ment that the same shadowy forms he had dis- cerned in the garden were collecting about the large French windows of the ballroom. He pulled desperately at his bonds, but the knots, swollen from the rain, refused to slip. (Continued in the February Radiator.) were enjoyed, and later a collation was served. Those present were: Helen E. Russell. Florence Hart. Mary Hart. Mary Knowles. Elizabeth Mc- Carthy. Leone Riley. Bertha Riley. Rose Schrage. Lilian O’Xeil, Rita Dawson. Anna Madden, and Helen Mahoney. The next meeting occurred January 10, at the home of Miss Mahoney. 86 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR “ZCalt flfoofco Du ATiortuus est” Be Xeonarfc� B.

The trees were utterly devoid of leaves, and the ground was hard, but these made the countryside all the more beautiful to my eyes. Jn perfect contentment, I stretched myself be- neath a tree and gazed up at the cold, gray sky. Soon I arose and resumed my walk. A curiously- shaped stone in the middle of the road attracted my curiosity, and 1 bent to examine it. 1 straightened up, then stood rooted to the spot in an astonishment which quickly changed to be- wilderment. Where before had been long, sweep- ing meadows and spreading forests, a city had sprung up. High walls surrounded it; and within many towers were pointing up. As I started forward, 1 felt something brushing my legs, and looking down beheld, instead of my gray business suit, a long, flowing garment of a silky cloth. I walked swiftly towards the city gate, where stood two sleepy sentinels clad in armor on the upper part of the body, wearing short swords at their sides, and holding, instead of rifles, long spears. I stopped a moment in deep thought. Where before had I seen those uni- forms? Suddenly it dawned upon me! These were Romans, and this city was Rome. As 1 approached the gates, the sentinels crossed their spears and demanded my name and business. I was about to answer, when one of them said: ‘‘It is all right, comrade. Let him pass. It is only Artemidorous. the Greek teacher of oratory.” “I thank you,” I said briefly. The spears were uncrossed, and I entered the gates. As I walked up the street, a beggar ros-' from the wayside, whining for alms. I was about to brush him aside, when a thought struck me. “An as if you tell me the date.” 1 said, and held the coin temptingly in my lingers. “The Ides of March, most noble sir. he whined. Mechanically I dropped the coin into his out- stretched palm. The Ides of March,—Rome—Brutus—Caesar. Great God! The assassination of Caesar was to occur on this very day! I hurried on until 1 was in the heart of the city. As I paused a moment in front of the Forum, a voice hailed me. A fair day to you. O Master Artemidorous. 1 turned and saw, hurrying toward me, one of my most promising young pupils. A fair day to you, young Claudius,” I cried, and then: “What time to-day does Caesar go to the Senate?” It was decided that the Senate should meet to- day at the second hour, the young man answered. Only until the second hour to save the life of Caesar! I turned quickly to the young Claudius. Allow me to use your parchment for a time, Claudius? I asked. With pleasure. Artemidorous,” he answered, and swiftly unrolling the parchment, passed it to me. I quickly seated myself on the steps of the Forum, and began to write all that 1 could re- member of the plot against Caesar’s life. It was soon finished, and I tore off that part which I had used, and returned the parchment to its owner with many thanks: and then, bidding him a good- clay. I hurried toward the Senate Chamber. The usual crowd was already gathering along the way which the imperator was to pass, and sta- tioning myself on the outer edge of the mob. I awaited his coming. Suddenly, farther down the way a cheering began which crept nearer and nearer. Caesar! Imperator! O noble Caesar!” and into sight came the great leader, with his retinue, walking swiftly toward the Chamber. As he came near to where I stood, I pressed forward until I was at his side, crying: O noble Caesar, a message of great concern to you and the Roman state! Others pressed close to him. and showered mes- sages and requests upon him. and I saw the mis- sive which I had given him buried beneath many others in his secretary’s hand. With his retinue about him, he walked up the steps of the Senate Chamber and in through the portals. As he passed up the steps, I noted that SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR S7 the arm of Brutus was thrown affectionately about the impcrator’s shoulders. All was silence after the nobles had disappeared, •and the mob stood patiently waiting for the Senate to be adjourned, for mighty matters were to be settled that day. Suddenly from within the cham- ber came a confused murmuring, which floated out to the ears of the waiting mob. Then the door was thrown open, and a senator rushed out. his toga half torn from him. his hair undone and fly- ing behind. “Caesar has been assassinated! he cried, his eyes wide in terror. Assassinated! 1 had failed, then, but there was no time now for pondering, as I was swept with the maddened mob swiftly up the steps of the Senate and into the Chamber, where the angry cries of the rabble were stilled, for there, at the foot of Pompey's statue, lay, outstretched in his blood—the blood of a mighty and noble race— Cains Julius Caesar—Imperator! I turned and looked about me. Where was I? Where was the angry mob. the Senate, the nobles, Caesar. Rome? 1 was lying on my back, looking up at the gray sky above. 1 had been dreaming, and I was not in Rome, the pride of the universe, but in America—“the land of the free and the home of the brave.

'Pom rose, and called the bovs, who had drifted into groups, to him. “Boys, a code of our signals, the one 1 have here, was mailed by one of our boys to one of the boys on the 1 ----- team. They have been kind enough to return it, but they know our signals now. and after all our hard practice, there’s no hope of winning the game. Which one of you has done this mean, underhanded trick?

Well,” said Fred, “I don’t think he ought to be allowed to play. A fellow that would do that sort of thing is no credit to the team. But in a sub.” A storm of opposition broke out at this. Jack, greatly hurt to think that they could suspect him of such a deed, sat alone on the couch in the cor- ner. his head in his hands. He could not and must not play. Nothing could have been a greater disgrace, it seemed to him. 'Pom went over to him. after the others had gone, laid his hand on Jack's shoulder, and said: Jack, I’m sorry. Own up and get out of the scrape. It's hard to believe such a thing of you, but how can we help it? Wish us good luck, of course? Jack looked up into Tom's eyes, his own full of tears, and said: Tom. that is my code of signals, but ou my honor, I didn't send them to that fel- low. ()h. God grant we may win! You don't know what it means. Tom. not to be allowed to play in the game. With that he left Tom's room. It was three o'clock, and the game was called. During the first half B----was ahead. It was a close and exciting game throughout, but in the last half our boys won. Jack, alone in his room, couldn't bear to hear the cheering. It might be B----that was cheering so lustily, lie ran to the window and listened. No—it couldn't be—yes— it was; our boys were cheering, our boys had 88 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR won! And Jack was so excited that his feet barely touched one step in three on the way down to greet the boys. 'I hat evening at the From, Fred Harvey asked for a moment alone with Tom. “Tom. the faculty are going to expel Jack! The dean spent an hour with him this evening. And Jack is being expelled—expelled for what I’ve done! Wait.” as Tom gasped in amazement and started to speak. And in all that long hour Jack never gave the dean a hint that lie didn’t do it. I took that code and sent it to Corey. I don’t know why. unless it is that I’m jealous of Tom. He has won his way into the hearts of you fellows —and into the heart of your sister, Tom—that’s the hardest. I found the code on Jack’s piano one afternoon, took it and sent it. thinking it would be a good way to get even. But I see I was wrong. I’ve been up to see Jack,—and he treated me royally. Now I’m going to the dean,, confess all. and get my reward. Good-bye, Tom.” And with a strong hand-clasp, he was gone. Tom was fairly taken off his feet by Fred’s con- fession. and sank into the chair by the fireplace. He seemed to see through the flames, seemed to see Jack’s face as it looked when he had told Tom that afternoon that he was innocent. Why hadn’t he believed him! Why hadn’t he gone to the bot- tom of the matter that afternoon, before the game, so that Jack could have played! Jack and Mary Allen, coming into the room after one of the dances, crept out and left Tom to his reverie. ----------------- JSarnev’s Ifoorse JBs Delen JfielO, %., ’ll RXEY was known far and wide around the district in which he lived for his cleverness in all sorts of trades. He went to school, and stood very nearly at the head of his class, lie was a boy of fifteen years of age. with dark blue eyes and a mop of light curly brown hair. 11 is parents were far from wealthy, and had it not been for a rich uncle, it would have gone hard with Harney's folks. They lived in an unattrac- tive little house which was just beside a large livery stable, and Harney was often found in the large barn helping the men with the horses, or teaching a few of the quick-witted beasts small tricks. Harney loved a good horse, and it was his great- est desire to be the owner of a good fast trotter. So it was one day when the proprietor came home with six beauties, fresh from the West, that Har- ney picked out his horse from one of the six and claimed him in his heart as his own. This creature was as fine a piece of horse flesh as one could wish to see,—tall and well built, with long, flowing mane and tail. Ilis color was black, with the exception of three white feet and a star between his large brown eyes. His coat was in a superb condition, fine and well groomed, which showed good training and care. Hut like every horse that was ever born, lie had one bad habit, and that was kicking, especially when any one at- tempted to groom his hind fetlocks and clean his hoofs. 'This Harney found out one day. as he ac- cidentally hit the creature with a pitchfork. The animal let, and Harney found himself in a dazed condition at the other end of the stable. Hut this did not lessen his love for the creature, and the two soon became fast friends. Harney repeatedly asked his father if there wasn’t some way which his pet could be bought, but no. his father was too poor and could not afford to keep him. Hut Harney, however, remembered that his uncle had said that if Harney could get a horse that would beat his for less than $50, he would pay for it. and also pay for its maintenance. So Harney asked his uncle if it still held good, and to his great surprise he said yes, so Barney watched his chance, and at last it came. ()ne morning he was very much surprised to find pasted over the door of the barn a large placard saying that the barn and its contents were to be sold at auction on the following Saturday. This meant that his pet was to go with the others, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 89 and Barney was wild with rage. But as he cooled off. he began to think, and as lie thought a broad grin widened the corners of his mouth. The horse did kick like mad when hit in the fetlocks of the hind legs, and on this Barney based his one and only hope. He must take one of the stable men into his confidence—the one who was to drive and show off the horses. lie found him and disclosed his simple plan, which was to file the ring 011 the whitlletree. thus weakening it so that when a strain was put on it. it would break and fall on the horse’s ankles. The good-hearted stable man entered into the plan, and promised Barney lie would keep it dark. and as he had accomplished the task, he waited with feverish excitement until the auction •came off. The day arrived, and Barney saw the horses go until his black pet was put up. The horse was harnessed to a heavy wagon to test his pulling qualities, and Barney unobserved slipped tlie dis- astrous whiftletree into place. The sale com- menced. Now. gentlemen.” said the auctioneer, here is one of the best horses that was ever built, kind and gentle, and will stand without hitching. Look at those long ears, look at that arched neck, look at those legs: start him up. Bill, and let the gentlemen see him pull.” Bill did start, but it was a start that was long to be remembered. The whillletree went crashing down around the horse’s hoofs, who. already prodded to make him look stylish, only took this as the last insult, and with ears set back and the bit in his mouth, he kicked for all he was worth. The first kick took off the dash-board of the wagon, the next reached Bill, who was a little too slow in getting down, and was greatly assisted. Then he started to run, but the presence of so many stable hands pre- vented him from doing that, so he just kicked until the much-battered whiffletree was so kicked to pieces that there was nothing left for him to kick at. Well, gentlemen. said the very much embar- rassed auctioneer, we will sell him as he stands. How much am I offered? Twenty-five,” laughed out one. but Barney had waked up to his part of the game, and with a bold face said: Thirty.” Come, boys, said the master of ceremonies, this will never do. Will any one raise this? Thirty-one. came feebly from the crowd, and Barney stepped forward with a thirty-five. Thirty-five. once, twice, three times. Bang! and the horse was Barney's.

Carvell, IE., T4 ERE. Jack! Here. Jack!” The men in a little lumber camp in the wild Northwest were just sit- ting down to their noonday meal, when this call, accompanied by a boyish whistle, startled them. As they looked in the direction from which the call came, they discovered a dog on the opposite side of the stream. His forefeet were on a rotted log. and he was gazing intently into the river. Per- haps he saw a fish swimming and attempted to capture it. or perhaps he was startled by a boy who emerged from the underbrush behind him; at any rate, he jumped into the dark water. With a heartbreaking sob. the youth cried: “Jack! Oh. Jack! then, looking round for the first time, he spied the men across the river. With pleading tones, he screamed: “Save him! Oh. please! He can’t swim. It was a needless phrase, for the dog was struggling wildly. Jim Nadeau, a French Canadian, was the first to move. He sprang for the boat, but it stuck in the mud. The boy uttered another cry. and sprang in after the dog. Quick as a flash I lob Morey dived into the river, and with powerful strokes reached the boy. He took him to the shore, then dived in after the dog. He brought him up. but lie was more dead than alive. After rubbing him a little, he came to. gave a half-jovous bark, and rushed to the side of the boy. He licked his face, and the boy patted him in return. I� y this time Jim had the boat across the river, and soon he re-crossed carrying the rescued and rescuer, and it was not long before the dripping boy. with the little dog by his side, lay sleeping by the fire. For a few minutes the men smoked in silence, then “Oxy” Ross, an old river driver, started: Must er come er long ways. No shack on that side of the river back fer miles. Purty nice little sonny, huh?” This was the beginning: for half an hour the men all gave some opinion of the boy. and the general one was that he had run away from home. When the men started up the river for the boom where they were sorting logs, they left a good amount of food for the boy to eat if he awoke. All the afternoon the men were speculat- ing as to what the boy’s name was. and at five o’clock they hurried home. The boy was still asleep, but it was not long before lie awoke and gazed shyly around. The men were eating their evening meal, but turned to the boy. Seeing him so bewildered. “Oxy said huskily: “Come here, laddy. and it was not long before the men were well acquainted with him ; that is. they discovered his first name was Orville, but they called him “Orry. lie said he came from home, but he did not know the name of the place. He was thin, but had a bright face, a short, straight nose, and a square, firm, set chin, above which rested a small mouth curved like the back of Cupid’s bow. When asked if he wanted to go home, he looked wistfully at the dog, but said No.” Long after the boy was asleep the men talked about him. and the boss agreed to let him stay if he wanted to. The next day he declared he wanted to stay, and went with the men to their work. There was not much work for Orry to do. so he’d run the logs: that is. he would step rapidly from log to log. After a while he could do it excellently, and the men were pleased with him. Several times when work was over he would jump on a log and ride to the camp. As he rode along, the men would encourage him. Oftentimes when the day’s work was done, the men would lounge on the grassy bank, smoking their pipes, and watching Orry do tricks on a log far out on the river. The men of the camp were excellent loggers, and could ride and burl a log with any outfit around, and they showed Orry many tricks about the art of riding a log. Several weeks later the boss received a news- paper which stated that valuable prizes were to be given to men and boys who could ride and burl a log the fastest. A rich man who was spending the summer in a nearby town was the donor. The men had no sooner read it than they deter- mined to enter Orry as a contestant. When the day arrived, the men took a holiday and drove to the town where the events were to take place. They promptly got Orry recorded. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 9i and then lined up on the bank to see the show.'' The first events were senior ones. In them speedy, quick-eyed men strove to prove their superiorities. Large, heavy pine logs were used, but in the junior events smaller ones were substi- tuted. ()rry was victorious in the first event, which was the burling match. In the second the boys were taken up the river half a mile. Here they were given a log and paddle and started for the town. The logs were straight and round, making it difficult to get a foothold, and more diffi- cult to retain it. Orry clamped his spiked shoes on each side of the log. and paddled swiftly and with steady strokes, it was hard on his arms to keep it up. but he thought of the prize. He dared not look up. but kept his eyes on the log as a precaution if it should roll. The blunt front of the log sent the spray ahead, and the rear left a foamy path. When he came in sight of the town he increased his speed, but it was not necessary, for he finished with a clear lead of seventy yards. The cheers of the men reverberated triumphantly in his brain. That night the men had a jolly time, and spent their money for refreshments; later they went to a moving picture show. That night they slept in the best hotel in the town. The next day they got the prizes, which were held by a bank. Orry proposed to wait till they got to camp before they opened the packages. When they got there Orrv promptly opened them. As he read the engraved inscriptions on them, lie glanced nervously around, but the men did not seem to notice it. They were very tired, and retired early. The next morning when they awoke. Orry was gone, also the dog and the cups. He left a note of explanation, saying that he was going home, and that his father was the donor of the prizes. He wrote that he had left home a year before he had met them. About two months later the men in the camp received a letter written in a boyish hand, which read as follows:— Dear Men: I invite you to attend the recep- tion given in honor of my return at my home. Please all come. ‘Orry’ Devreau. Lincoln street, Helena.” It is needless to say that the men accepted the invitation. The next Christmas they received a fine lot of handsome camp furnishings and a large amount of camp provisions, for which ()rry’s father was responsible, and the next summer Orry spent his vacation with them, a happy one. too. 3ack Sampson’s IRewarb 36 Xaura EL IRicbarbson, %., 'U CK SAMPSON came in with rapid step and an impetuous manner. His mother looked up from her work. There was a round, red spot in each cheek, and an ominous glitter in his eyes. She knew the signs. That naturally fierce temper of his had been stirred in some way that kindled his whole nature. He threw down his cap, threw himself on a hassock at her feet, and then said, with some of the heat of his temper in his tone: Never say after this that I don’t love you. mother.” ‘T think I never did say so. she said gently. But what have you done to prove your love for me now?” Taken a blow without returning it. She bent over and kissed him. He was sixteen years old. a great tall fellow, with muscles of steel, but he had not grown above his mother’s kisses. Then she said softly: “Tell me all about it. Jack.” Oh. it was Tom Chapin! You know what a mean, bullying fellow he is, anyway. He had been plaguing some of the younger boys, teasing them till I couldn’t stand it. They are all scared to death of him. I told him to stop. After a while he got mad: he turned from them, and came over to me and struck me in the face. I believe the marks of his claw are there yet. and lie turned toward her the other cheek, which she had not seen before. Well. she said, and you,—what did you do?” 'I remembered what I had promised you for this year, and I took it—think, mother—took the blow, and never touched him, and said: If I should strike you. I’d lower myself to vour level.’ He laughed a regular horse laugh, and said: ‘You 92 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR hear, fellows. Sampson’s turned preacher. You’d better wait before you lecture me about my actions toward the kids, till you’ve spunk enough to stick up for ’em. I've taken all I’m going to from you, you great coward!' The boys laughed, and some said: ‘Good for you, Chapin!’ I came home. I did it because I promised you; for I’m stronger than he is any day. and you know I’m no coward. Xow I want you to release tne from that promise, and I’ll go back and thrash him.” Mrs. Sampson was filled with thanksgiving. Her boy's temper had been her greatest grief. His father was dead, and she had brought him up, often thinking she had spoiled him. She had tried in vain to check his passionate nature, but it was too strong for her. She decided at last that the only plan was in using his own powerful will, and making him conquer himself. Xow she thought he had shown himself capable of self-control. In the midst of his rage he had remembered his promise and kept it. He would yet be his own master. Letter heap coals of fire on his head,” she said quietly. Yes. he deserves a good scorching. pretend- ing to misunderstand her— but I should not have thought that of you. “You know well enough what kind of coals I meant. I cannot release you from your promise until the time is up. I want you to try this way first. If that fails, then will be time enough for another experiment. Well. I promised you. and I'll show you that I can keep my word, but you don’t know how tough it is. he said. Mrs. Sampson thought she did know just about how tough it was to boy-nature to be called a coward; but she knew. also, that the truest bravery on earth is that of endurance. Look out for the coals of fire!” she said, as Jack started for school next day. Keep a good lookout, and I am sure you'll find them before the summer is over.” Jack came home at night depressed and gloomy. He felt his popularity gone forever. There had always been a rivalry between him and Tom; now the boys seemed to have gone over to the stronger side, and he had that sense of disgrace, as bitter to a boy as defeat is to a man. The weeks went on. and the feeling wore away a little, still that unavenged blow rankled in Jack’s mind and made him unsocial and ill at case. I lis mother watched him anxiously, but said nothing, knowing he must learn some of life’s lessons alone. At length came the last day of school, followed by a picnic in which all the scholars were to join, superintended by the teachers. Jack hesitated, and then concluded to go. The place was a lovely spot on the banks of the YVildmcrc river, where the stream ran fast, and the great trees, with their drooping boughs, shut out the bright July sun. In the company were Tom Chapin and his little sister Betty,—the one human being he really seemed to love. The teachers were watching him, and for once the little ones were safe. He and Jack kept apart, and Jack enjoyed the day more than any in the past two months. Dinner was spread on the grass, and nothing taken at home on civilized oak and from regula- tion dishes ever tasted half so good as this food eaten with pewter spoons out of crockery of every hue. They made dinner last as long as possible, and then scattered here and there.—some swinging in hammocks, some lounging on the grass, and a group playing at fishing on the bridge a few rods above the falls. Among the latter were Tom and his little sister. Jack was at a little distance with one of the teachers, talking botany. Suddenly a wild, wild cry arose above the stillness of the sum- mer afternoon and the hum of quiet voices, Tom Chapin’s cry: She’s in. boys! Betty’s in the river, and I can’t swim!” Before the words were out of his mouth, they all saw Jack rushing toward the bank. He un- buttoned his coat and vest as he ran. and cast them off as he neared the bridge: then, picking off his shoes, he threw himself over. They heard him strike the water. He went under, rose again, and then struck out for the golden head which rose just then for the second time. Every one who stood there lived through moments hours long. Ilie boys and Mr. White, the teacher with whom Jack had been talking, got a strong rope, and. running down to the stream, threw it out on the water just above the falls, where Jack could reach it if lie could get so near the shore. The water was verv deep where Betty had fallen in. and the current very swift. It was sweeping the poor child on. and Tom Chapin threw himscif on the bridge and sobbed and screamed like a [Continued on page in?.] SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 93 EDITORIALS Now is the time for reunions. You can hardly take up the weekly paper without finding an ac- count of one. Every member of a class looks for- ward to a reunion, when he shall meet his former friends and teachers and talk over school days. Everybody enjoys the time when all gather to- gether and are one again. In our High Schools now. a class seldom gets together for a good social time until in the senior year, cither at Mr. Laxter's or Mr. Avery's reception to the graduating class. There arc the Junior dance and the Senior soiree, but hardly ever has the whole class been present, and, too, people outside of the class generally come. Therefore, it would be a good plan for each class, before it graduates, to have plans firmly laid for a reunion. A com- mittee for the evening might be chosen before graduation. It should consist of a chairman with as many helpers as he desires. He should set out a definite part of the work for each member of the committee to do, and instruct him how he wants it done. The chairman should not have too much of the work to do himself. He also should keep in touch with the president and secretary of the class when he is making hi plans. In this way a reunion certainly would be forthcoming and would be something worth while. K. r. r ag r A new year is with us again, for many the last year in school or college. The desire to make our last year the best of all quite overwhelms us. As usual, the customary resolutions have been made: we have decided to turn over a new leaf and buckle down to business in general. The thought of beginning the new year right is a good one. though often the various resolves for reformation amount to little. It is well to decide to break off all bad habits and improve one's self. Like all great reforms, however, the transforma- tion of one's character cannot be accomplished in one day. even at New Year’s. We sincerely hope that all our readers have made New Year’s resolutions which they can keep and use to advantage to make the year 191 1 the most successful one of their lives. There is one good resolution which every member of Som- erville High School can make and keep, viz., to show the proper amount of school spirit at all times. r r r The twentieth century has entered upon the eleventh year of its life, having left the first decade mark behind. It is a promising child, and bids fair to become a celebrity before it passes away. In some respects the present century promises to be the most wonderful in the history of the world, to surpass in power of development its mighty predecessor, the nineteenth. If the world develops at the same rate in the remaining nine decades as it has in the first, who can imagine what this planet will be like on New Year's morn- ing. 2001. At the beginning of the century automobiles were more or less of a rarity ; in fact, they were in a semi-experimental stage. Now the motor vehicle may be found in every nation of the globe, in almost every form imaginable. Wireless teleg- raphv was more or less theoretical in 1900, and the true value of the invention was far from being appreciated. To-day finds the wireless in use on land and sea: it has become a necessity to the 94 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR world in general, as well as a means for saving life. Ten years ago the words aviator, biplane, monoplane, etc., were unknown. The conquest of the air had not begun in earnest. To-day air- ships have advanced so far in construction that we may be reasonably sure that at the end of another decade they will have reached the point of practicality, or nearly so. The first ten years of the century have marked the Russo-Japanese war. with the rise of Japan as a world power, the discovery of the North Pole, the rise of ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt to international fame, and count- less thousands of other well-known facts. In 1900 the population of our country was 70,000,000 people. Now there arc over 91,000,000 people in the United States proper, and over 100,- 000,000 souls who live under the American flag. It is a privilege to live in this era of progress; let us do our best to help along civilization by en- tirely civilizing ourselves. In the present number of this paper will be found the first installment of a serial story. As this is something of an innovation, not having been tried for several years, we wish to explain our reasons for publishing a story of this sort. The idea of having a continued story is fol- lowed extensively by the leading periodicals and magazines. P y means of a serial the reader gets a much longer and more interesting story than he could possibly be given in one issue of a maga- zine. Having read an interesting installment, he is naturally anxious to read the next, and so buys the magazine containing it each month. The main objection to a serial in a high school paper is that a young author finds it difficult to have the sufficient number of climaxes necessary. The object of the Radiator is to give our read- ers the best and most interesting story possible. We urge one and all to read the whole serial (you will find it exciting), and tell us what you think of it and of the idea in general. r. r Winter sports arc more of a back number in Somerville High School this year. It is to be regretted that we have not a basket ball team this year. Properly supported basket ball is a good game, and Somerville has been very successful in this line in the past. Money is necessary to sup- port a team, and unfortunately Somerville has been very unsuccessful in giving financial support to basket ball. We have a hockey team this year, however, that will bear watching. Captain Dickson has devel- oped some good material which ought to make a very creditable showing. Get out and root for the team, and show that Somerville High School is not totally dead in the circle of winter sports. The editor of the Radiator wishes to thank the members of both schools for their generous support so far this year. Floods of contributions (small floods, however) have been received by the literary department and the class editors. Three words’: KEEP IT UP. � r The March number of the Radiator, as in pre- vious years, will be the alumni number. The present staff expects to make this number the largest alumni number the Radiator has ever printed. We therefore urge upon the alumni our plea for contributions and support for March.

Now. you’ll never know whether this write-up would have been favorable to Hildred or otherwise. Between you and me and the desk, this Hildred is a respectable gent. He’s all right, but. Never- theless Hildred shouldn’t be afraid of a little pub- licity. Who knows but that this pen might have been the means of making the name of Hildred famous? Let this be a lesson to you. O gentle reader, never, during your visits to this office, to make any such requests as Mildred’s. You may be casting off Ihr opportunity of vour lifetime. Being, however, of a very obliging nature, we could not publish anything against the will of the worthy individual in question. We trust now that this comment will have the desired effect, that Hildred will not make such a mistake again, and we regret exceedingly the necessity of re- peating so frequentlv during this explanation the name of HILDRED.

January 4. The hall was effectively decorated with red and blue crepe paper, the Somerville colors. After a half-hour of social intercourse, the follow- ing programme was finely rendered by members of the German division:— 1 iano solo—“ Rigoletto.” Herford C. Hartwell. Reading— Schutz’s Turkish Bath. Julia I '. Currier. Solo—Serenade .........................Schubert Palmyra M. Lemos. Violin solo—Romance................Jean Becker Grace M. Rockwell. Reading—“Guiseppe the Barber.-’ Julia 1 '. Currier. Solo— Cber's Jahr. Helen M. Kaula. Mr. Baxter then spoke a few words to the class, relating incidents of his college life, which were much appreciated. The programme was con- cluded by the German division singing one verse of Die Wacht am Rhein. Music for dancing was furnished by Stanley H. Bowlby and Herford C. Hartwell. During an intermission ice cream and German and American cake were served. The presence of Mr. Baxter. Mr. Hawes, Mr. Murray, and Miss Perkins, of the faculty, added much to the evening’s pleasure. Much credit is due the committee. Helen T. Field. Xorville L. Milmore, and Miriam R. Kingman, for the pleasure and success of the evening. tin the jforum On December 5 the Somerville English High School Debating Society discussed government ownership of the railroads in the United States. Bagdasar K. Baghdigian and Gladys Hopkins, arguing for government ownership, defeated Philip Adelson and Lester Kirkpatrick. The much-heralded Centerville Town Meeting saw seventy loyal voters assemble to settle the town’s destiny for another year. Political feel- ing ran high in the Debating Club, and the Re- publican and Democratic parties strove to the ut- most to win votes. Mr. Hatch, elected moderator, presided over an exciting meeting, in which lie was forced to use the gavel vigorously and threaten to resort to the constable to maintain order. The Republicans, led by Bagdasar Bagh- digian. carried everything before them, winning the popular vote on every measure they sup- ported, and electing Francis Rourke. Ruth E. Sargent, and Wilfred Chandler their candidates for selectmen. Since Xew Year's the Lincoln Debating Society has been holding joint meetings with the S. E. H. S. Debating Society, debating the question which has been chosen for a public debate with some other high school. This public debate will take place late in February or early in March. The team will be chosen in a competitive debate from the members of both clubs, and will be fully representative of the debating interests of the school. awicc-£ol {Tales Minister: My mission is to save young men.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ioi The Radiator extends a Happy New Year to all its exchanges. The Megaphone (Dean Academy) we are al- ways pleased to sec. with its attractive cover, good stories and notes, and its well-arranged alumni column. The December number of the Jabberwock (Girls’ Latin School) was exceptionally good. Although there was only one editorial, that one was excellent, and much better liked than a lot of short and uninteresting ones would have been. The stories were all good, and we see a few poems in the issue. The alumnae editor could not have worked very hard for this month. We think a column of five notes is far too short. The Olympian, from Biddeford. Me., is not ar- ranged very well. Why not have the advertise- ments by themselves instead of mixed with the reading matter? We have learned from experi- ence to look among the advertisements, otherwise we would miss some of the stories and school notes. We find this not in the Olympian alone, hut in many other papers. Why not fix this little matter, and receive the thanks of every exchange editor who reads your paper? Why not have a longer exchange column, Law- rence High School Bulletin? We know it’s hard work, but who is afraid of work? This column spoils an otherwise excellent paper. Ask your exchange editor to burn the midnight oil more, and we know the column will improve. As in most papers, the exchange column of the Red and Black (Stevens High School) is poor. It consists almost entirely of jokes, and no criti- cisms. What was the trouble with the exchange editor this month? The editorial. “What Educa- tion Really Is. is very good, and the Literary Department is good. In fact, we find no fault in the paper except the exchange column, and we expect a better one next month. We find in the Purple and Gold (Ford City High School. Pennsylvania) that the arrangement is poor. The advice we gave the Olympian is meant for you. too, it seems. The editorials of the Cambridge Review are good. We understand the editors’ feelings, and extend our sympathy to them. The Literary De- partment is good, and we arc glad to see a few poems. Now comes the Quarterly Tatler (the Sachs School for Girls, Xew York). We welcome you heartily, and enjoy every bit of your paper from cover to cover. We have no fault to find with you, and your exchange column (unlike most papers) is very good indeed. We found among vour notes this verse which pleased 11s. and we arc going to pass it on to the other papers:— Smile a smile: When you smile, another smiles. And soon there's miles and miles of smiles,. And life’s worth while. If you but smile.’’ We acknowledge with thanks the following ex- changes: Lawrence High School Bulletin.

Six Latin School boys won honors this year. Henry G. Doyle, Latin. ’07, won the Kirkland scholarship. Rufus Tucker, of the same class, who won a Detur last year, was awarded a John Harvard scholarship. He has had a remarkably fine record in college, having recently been elected to the Phi Beta Kappa. Doyle also won a Detur this year. The Deturs are given from the legacy of Edward Hop- kins. He was born in England in 1600, and came to this country in 1037. His aim was to en- courage education and hopeful students in school and college. A Detur is given only once, and only to scholars of the first group. In group 2 Alton Miller.

Howard for- merly played end for Somerville, and this fall played left halfback for the “Aggies.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 103 ATHLETICS athletic Chat Robert Garland, Latin, '12, was elected captain of next season’s eleven. Somerville got three men on the all-scholastic football team for last season. Captain Milmore, Pierce, and Boh Garland outplayed all their op- ponents. and justly deserved a place on the team. With another year’s experience, Doanc should make fullback on the all-scholastic team, as he was mentioned this year. Pitman and Duncan were named as good ends: Kowall at guard and Parks at quarterback received much attention be- fore being rated a little below the all-scholastic standard. Next year we hope to sec at least as many as this year, and perhaps more play with the same style and snap that secured three places on the honor eleven for Somerville. We are sorry that Somerville did not get the championship of either league, but hope for better results next sea- son. The team did well, and played excellently most of the season. So far this season the hockey team has played four games, winning two. losing one. and tying one. Manager Holmes has arranged a schedule of twenty-five games with the best high schools and academies in the state. There are five league games, four played at the Boston Arena, and the other at Broadway field. These games arc free, so there is no excuse for a small attendance. As there is no basket ball team this year, the hockey team should be well supported. The hockey team tied with the alumni. 1 to 1. on December 20 at Broadway field. The ice was in poor condition, but the school team succeeded in shooting three goals, only one of which was counted. The High School team that played was: Captain Dickson. Whittaker. Laurie. Dona- hue. forwards; Garland, cover-point; Hamilton, point: McIntyre and George, goal. The hockey schedule:— January 20—Dorchester at Somerville. January 23— Melrose at Arena. January 25—Lexington at Somerville. January 27— Boston College High at Arena. January 28—Pomfrct at Pomfret. January 30—Malden at Somerville. February I—Newton at Braeburn.

Somerville, Arlington. Melrose. Boston College High. Dorchester, and Rindgc are members of the Interscholastic Hockey League. Somerville has already played Melrose, losing, 2-1. in a great game, Melrose needing an extra period to win. ••• ♦•� •-$••• ♦••• Somerville, i; ADeOforO, o Somerville defeated Medford. 1 to 0, at Broad- way field. The ice was in very poor condition, being covered with slush and snow to such an ex- tent as to slow up the puck, so that shooting was almost impossible. Bob Garland scored one goal 104 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR after rushing the puck the whole length of the rink and through the Medford forwards. The game was rough and slow, although there was much rushing. Both teams would get the puck in an advantageous position, but fail to score because of the snow making it almost impossible to lift. Captain Dickson. Whittaker, and Garland played a slashing game for Somerville, while Johnson, Paradise, and Dinsmore played well for Medford. Only one half was played, the dispute over the second goal coming at the end of the period. The puck hit a shoe and carromed inside, but the Med- ford captain would not allow it to count, as the shoe moved, and he claimed the puck went out- side. The shoe was one goal-post.

Melrose defeated Somerville, 2-1. at Broadway field December 31. The ice was not in excellent condition, but was fair. Both teams scored a goal in the first period, Laurie scoring for Somerville after the puck had been carried down the ice in great style by Cap- tain Dickson. Whittaker, and Donahue. Clarence Wannamaker scored for Melrose, after carrying the puck, alone and unassisted, through the entire Somerville team. Neither team caged the puck in the second period, and Captains McDonald and Dickson agreed to play an extra period of twenty minutes. After the puck had been carried up and lown the rink, and many good shots made, only to be turned aside by the defence of both teams. Melrose got the puck near her own goal, and rushed it down the rink to Somerville territory, where a sharp scrimmage occurred, and finally succeeded in pushing it through, thus ending the game.

But that third time Jack caught her.— caught her by her long, fair hair. Mr. White shouted to him. He saw the rope and swam toward it. his strong right arm beating the water back with hammer-strokes, his left motionless; holding his white burden. A moment more and he reached the rope, clung to it desperately, and the boys and teacher drew the two in over the slippery edge out of the hor- rible. seething waters, both silent and motionless. Would either answer again? Teachers and scholars went to work for their restoration. It was well there was intelligent guidance, or their efforts might have been in vain. Jack, being the stronger, was the first to revive. “Is f’.etty safe? was his anxious question. “Only God knows. was Mr. White’s answer. “We are doing our best.

Mr. White drove Jack to his house. When they reached the gate. Jack insisted on going in alone. He thought it might alarm his mother to see any one helping him: besides, he wanted to tell his story alone. Mr. White drove away, and Jack went in. His mother saw him coming, and opened the door. “Where have you been? she cried, seeing his wet clothing. “In Wildmere River, fishing out Hetty Chapin.” Then, while she made preparations for his com- fort. he quietly told his story. 11 is mother’s eyes were dim. and her heart throbbed chokingly. Oh, if you had been drowned, my brave boy! she cried. If I had been there. Jack. I couldn’t have let you do it. I went in after coals of fire, mother! Mrs. Sanipson knew when to erv over and also when to laugh with her boy. She said: “I’ve heard of people smart enough to set the river on fire, but you are the first I ever knew who went in after coals.” The next morning all the boys of the place came, with Tom Chapin at their head. He was spokesman, and said his say before Jack and his mother. I come here to thank you for a life far dearer and better than mine, and to ask you to forgive me. I struck you a mean blow, and you took it with noble contempt. I did not realize how brave you were. Xow we have all seen you fight with death and come off ahead. Tom broke down there, for he was choked with tears: Jack was as noble in forgiveness as he had been in forbearance. Hetty and her mother came afterwards, and Jack found himself a hero before he knew it. Hut none of it moved him as his mother’s few fond words and the pride in her joyful eyes. He had kept with honor and patience his pledge to her, and lie had had his reward. LITCHFIELD STUDIO ARLINGTON “Photographs That Almost Speak” Telephone Booklet on request J. A.

Phillips, %., ’ll was one of those chilly, gray after- noons in December. The barome- ter was already two-tenths below twenty-nine, and still falling. If there is any change, call me. yelled the captain, for I promise that we shall hear from Boreas before morning.” She was a magnificent craft,—a big, knock- about Gloucester fisherman, built to stand any weather: and still.'she had the lines of a modern yacht. In fact, she was designed by the man who laid down the lines for the Independence.” A graceful, unbroken shear from stem to stern had the Helen B. Thomas. There were yet several trawls to get in. but at four o’clock the llag was hoisted, calling in the dories. One by one they came, and none too soon, for before dark the wind had increased to a fresh breeze. The captain now came up from below. Put the sail onto her. boys! he exclaimed. After this command had pierced the breeze, the squeak- ing of the windlass, mingled with the sound of chain, and the clicking of blocks and halyards were sure signs that the good ship was soon to lose her grasp on mother earth. Clew in your weather braces, and let the main sheet run. yelled the captain, as we squared away on the wind. We now had the wind abaft the port beam, and were headed for Irishtown. a small cove, opening to the northeast on Prince Edward Island. This shelter, about seventy miles west northwest from the Banks, is used by fishing schooners to escape from southeaster. The wind could now be termed a moderate gale, and it had commenced to snow. W e were carry- ing everything except topsails. How she did labor and strain! It seemed as if we were flying from wave to wave. The whole- ocean was as white as the falling snow. The captain said that he would not risk Irish- town if the wind and snow continued, so we hove to. double-reefed the main, got out the storm trysail, and prepared to weather the storm if necessary. The wind now backed into the northeast, an un- usual occurrence, and the schooners at Irishtown were driven out by the seas. When the wind backs from west to cast it may be relied upon that something out of the ordinary will happen. The crew knew this, and hastily changed the double to a triple reef, and rigged a trysail forward. The barometer was still dropping and a fresh gale added sleet to the snow. The 'Helen B. Thomas' stood it like the boat she was. At times, when buried beneath the waves, she would stagger, and it seemed as though she would never rise again. The captain and the mate were lashed to the helm. Once, as she dove into a sea. the starboard dories were carried away. The crew were below saying their prayers, and some of them thought that they would never sec land again. I can see the cook now, with hands outstretched, rolling in the water on the cabin floor with every lurch of the ship. We weathered that storm for thirty hours. In a few more hours we should have given up had not the barometer promised fair weather. The snow stopped falling, and the wind ceased blow- ing by degrees. When the day dawned we took an inventory, and found that we were minus twelve dories, with all their fittings. In the afternoon the sun came out. which gave the captain an opportunity to take an observa- tion. or shoot the sun. as the sailors call it. How is she heading? cried the captain. West southwest one-half west. yelled the helmsman. In a few minutes the captain cried: Just as I thought, about seventy miles southeast of Seal Island, latitude i:� ° IP 24 . longitude (i5° 20' 48 . ell. boys, we were blown about one hundred and fifty miles off our course. Head her west by south, and we will strike Gloucester inside of two days.” We did. After our arrival several of the schooners that were driven out of Irishtown came in with their tale of woe. One schooner had lost two men and another had carried away her sails. This is the life of a Gloucestcrman. But who can blame a boy for running away to go to sea, for such is life on the water? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR ii 3 tLbc H ventuvee of Jackson IDan Sllen (A SERIAL STORY.) By? lEfcoau X. Ikaula, E., '12 [Jackson Van Allen, ex-'varsity captain and fullback, makes a visit to ids old college clitun. Ralph Wright, in South America, after ids graduation. Wright’s father is the American consul at Porto .Mum� , the capital of Itravolia. a South American republic; and Ralph Wright is employed by the Consolidated Fruit Company, which is in bitter strife with the mining faction of tlie country. At a masquerade ball Van Allen is taken captive and left bound on the top of a high terrace.] PART II. QUEER, mournful cry seemed to float from the rear of the building. Instantly the shadowy forms be- came men, who hurled themselves furiously through the windows. Broken glass tinkled to the ground ; shots and cries rang from all sides; the thunder rolled and crashed I above all. W ithin the ball- room the President’s adherents, hampered by costumes, vainly tried to defend themselves against the fierce mountaineers. Here a Romeo attempted to ward off an agile ruffian with a slender rapier, which was broken with a twist of the hill-man's huge hands. There a cowboy was tied with his own lariat. The President Himself, dressed as Bolivar, the national hero, desperately fired an automatic pistol he carried for self-de- fence. In a few minutes the ballroom was sub- dued. So successful was the attack that the men were all captured, while the women cowered in the corners. At the first ru'sh Wright had not been attacked, as he wore the costume of his opponents. He looked quickly for the broad shoulders, covered with gold epaulets, of Van Allen. He could sec them nowhere, and realizing the uselessness of resistance, he left the ballroom, and rushed to the police headquarters. The terrible fury of the thunder had so well hidden the mountaineers’ at- tack that no one was aware of it until it fell. Wright soon explained the situation to the police head, who gathered whatever forces he could summon. In the meantime the hill-men. thinking that their strategy had succeeded, and not realizing that one of the dancers had escaped, busied them- selves with collecting their captives in a group. The same circumstances which covered the at- tack of the hill-men likewise favored that of W right and his police. They succeeded in gain- ing the terrace, but so intermixed were captors and captives that attack seemed impossible. However, a group of the leaders collected to dis- cuss. apparently, the fate of the prisoners. This was W right’s chance. He directed a septad to fire on this body when he gave the signal. 'Hie rest were to rush in and try the tactics which the hill-men had used. The mountaineers were al- most as much surprised by this attack as the dancers had been at the preceding one. and gave way before the rifles and bayonets of the police. Many escaped, however, and some, stumbling over Van Allen, pulled him to his feet. The ropes which bound his ankles were quickly slashed, and he was roughly pushed forward bv his captors. They soon reached the limits of the town, and by daybreak were high on the slopes of the mountains. The party was augmented by other fugitives as it proceeded, and by the time it reached the village which had sprung up at the mines it had assumed formidable proportions. Van Allen had pleaded, warned, and threatened his captors, but in vain. To each of his outbursts of indignation they replied by pointing at his uni- form. His demand for freedom on the ground of American citizenship was greeted with angry growls and threatening gestures from their mur- derous-looking knives. 'I he village was composed of corrugated iron: shanties, and for want of a better prison Van Al- len was pushed into otic of these. The shanty had evidently once been used as a tool-house, for in one corner lay a broken pick-axe, while in an- other was a bundle of pick-handles. There were no Avindows, and the door was safely padlocked and barred. The prisoner could hear the foot- steps of a guard posted without. Van Allen was totally exhausted when he was finally thrust into the shanty, and. after a fruitless effort to collect his faculties, threw himself on the floor, and was soon sleeping soundly. After the successful attack of the police, the guests at the Presidential ball had immediately SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 114 departed, and by morning the only evidences of the uprising were the shattered windows and torn hangings of the ballroom. At the American consulate Mr. Wright was not surprised at his son’s absence from the breakfast table, as he knew that young man’s habits. Nevertheless, as neither he nor his chum. Van Allen, appeared throughout the day. he began to be disturbed concerning their whereabouts. He summoned the servants, who declared that nothing had been seen of the pair since their departure for the ball the night before. A visit to the chief of police brought forth the fact that Wright had been the hero of the counter-attack, but immediately after his successful attempt lie had disappeared from the ballroom. The consul was bewildered, and. after instructing the police to search carefully, he returned to his office to formulate some theory concerning this peculiar occurrence. When Van Allen awoke a few hours later, he found himself thirsty and hungry. So seizing a pick-handle, he commenced to pound a noisy tattoo on the iron walls. The door was unlocked, and a dirty face was thrust in. Van Allen, with a hazy recollection of the Spanish he had learned at college, asked for bread and water, not that he preferred bread to any other means of appeasing his hunger, but this was the only eatable which he could call to mind in his extremely limited IE. 2 . On Friday evening. January 2T, the Epsilon Epsilon Club of Latin. 12, tendered a surprise party to its president. Miss Margaret Cragin, at her home, is Mcacham road. The house was decorated in the club colors, blue and yellow. Games, music, and refreshments furnished a most enjoyable evening to the members of the club and to the Latin School Juniors who were its guests. ------------------------------ G. G. XL.

The mountaineer grunted, and the face disappeared. A few minutes later the door was reopened, and a jug was set down together with a couple of hard biscuits. Van Al- len took a long drink from the jug. and started to gnaw one of the very stale biscuits. Through a crack where wall and roof met. Van Allen could see the sky. and now it was beginning to darken. He had scarcely concluded his meagre repast when the door was again flung open. A blanket with a bundle of damp straw was thrown in on the floor. The prisoner could see that it was al- ready night outside. The guards still marched regularly to and fro. but Van Allen had resolved not to spend another day in the shanty. He had absolutely no knowledge of the mountains, but a faint sense of the direction of the city. He first secured the broken pick- axe and a handle. These were his only tools or weapons, whichever they might prove to be. He felt along the walls until he found a join in the corrugated surface. Here he began to work. He had been prying with the broken pick-axe for what seemed hours, when he heard a soft hand at the locks. He listened. The footsteps of the guard had ceased. Undoubtedly the noise of his scraping had been heard. (Concluded in the March Radiator.) evening, January IT. Whist and other games were enjoyed, and later a collation was served.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 115 Sounds Ibeart� tn tbe ZKHoobs Brooks 1Rcefr, X., 'll OUT two miles up West Brook there is situated an old mill pond. The water still falls over the old logs, forming a deep refuge for the gamy brook trout. Across the stream stands the tottering mill, surrounded on all sides by thickets of blackberry bushes. I11 the shade of a giant willow, the last of its race, is a grassy knoll. Here the tired fisherman, worn out with his day’s sport, throws himself down on Nature’s couch. From a thorn-apple tree comes the sweetest caroling and singing, fol- lowed by the plaintive mew of a kitten. It is only the gray cat-bird singing his goodnight song to his mate. There is a sudden splash in the water: a kingfisher flashes from the surface, and, giving his harsh rattle of disappointment, is lost in the gloaming. l;ar up in the sky a screaming hawk is being driven hither and thither by a pair of kingbirds, while from a distance comes the caw- ing of crows assembled at their roost. A rushing sound is heard in the air. and overhead a huge blanket is spread. The last rays of the setting sun, striking here and there, display the purple and gold of passenger pigeons going to their roosting places. Far back in the woods the chattering of a lone red squirrel is followed by the low whispering of the wind in the pine trees. Now all is silent save for the shrill whistling of the peepers in the swamp and an occasional splash as a trout throws its heavy body at a white miller. The moon appears over the mountain, and soon the dim sky is studded with myriads of twinkling stars. 'File old mill and the trees are blended into a smooth gray mass. The dark brook flows by. bearing great patches of milky foam to the river. A rustling at the water’s edge heralds the ap- proach of some night prowler. Overhead a dark mass floats softly and silently to the ground, and immediately arises, bearing a squeaking field mouse to its hungry owlets. The widening ripple made by a swimming muskrat is barely discerni- ble in the dark pool. A light wind has sprung .up, the sky is overcast with clouds, and the refreshed fisherman, although loath to leave the spot, recognizes the approach- ing storm: so, gathering up his tackle, he re- sumes his homeward march. ♦ Hmateur Journalism Ji3v JEfcwarfc M. Cole, IE., 'll N the Radiator for March of the pres- ent year, William E. Brigham, its first editor, in narrating the events of its first year, mentioned amateur journalism. We organized an Intcrscholastic Associated Press for the exchange of school news—rather an imprac- ticable undertaking—and achieved some promi- nence in the N. E. A. P. A., which mystic symbols mean the New England Amateur Press Associa- tion. Frank Roc Batchelder. the Worcester poet, Edith Miniter, the charming household writer, and William E. Blodgett, recently mayor of Woburn, were among the well-known amateur journal1 ts of that time. The New England Ama- teur Press Association no longer exists, having ended its useful career in 1902, but amateur jour- nalism. of which it was a representative, flourishes still, and of the three well-known amateur wi iters” Mr. Brigham mentions, at least one is as interested in the work now as she was then,—in 1882. Indeed, only last year Mrs. Edith Miniter was president of the most representative amateur journalists’ organization, the National Amateur Press Association. What is this amateur journalism, in which, after SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 116 a successful professional life, Mr. Brigham takes pains to record that his paper “achieved some prominence ? This amateur journalism, with which Mrs. Miniter, although successful in many ways in literary fields, has remained affiliated for twenty-eight years? To define amateur journal- ism in few words is difficult. Some of its expo- nents quote with glee the words of a United States senator, who. exasperated by an impertinent young journalist, at last agreed that “amateur journalism is the noblest pursuit of the American youth. Others have said that every amateur journalist has something the matter with him—is partly unbalanced—and thus make amateur jour- nalism a pursuit indulged in by those suffering from a mild form of lunacy. Neither definition, of course, is correct. To understand the meaning of amateur journalism, a thorough understanding of the work done bv such journalists is necessary. Instances arc frequent of young persons who print a local weekly or monthly, giving news stale to its readers, expressed frequently in abominable English. To support this paper, the publisher's tradesmen, perhaps, insert an advertisement, for which they pay fifteen or twenty cents an issue, regarding it as a mild form of highway robbery practiced upon them. A small subscription roll, made up mostly of the young publisher's aunts and uncles, and those who are so unfortunate as to be on his mother's visiting list, swells the re- ceipts of the paper. The publisher is looked on as a budding genius: his friends are eager to sell his paper for him. that they may get a commission, and perhaps have the chance to get their fingers and faces daubed with printer's ink. This is the amateur journalist in his earliest stage. His work is the natural result of a boyish eagerness to “do something.” In a more advanced stage, an amateur journal- ist is a rarity: not one in a hundred develops from the amateurs of the early stage, lie now pub- lishes a paper. Its typography often compares favorably with that of many professional publica- tions: its contributions are original, however poorly expressed: and not only is there no sub- scription price asked, but the editor and publisher would not accept money for his journal, and scorns to seek advertisements. Instead of a four or •eight-page 3x5-inch journal, his effort has pro- duced a twelve to fifty-page miniature magazine, with a cover ‘ x?. ixi , or 7x10 inches in size. He has printed every word of it,—if he is the deepest- dyed sort of amateur,—folded each copy, and bound it with a dainty silk thread or cord. He has also mailed nearly 200 copies to contemporaries, and receives their magazines in return. But all this takes money, time, and patience, you say. You are right. All these the editor and publisher gives as he is able. He receives no monetary reward—rather, scorns it, because it would make him dependent upon others to a cer- tain extent. Why does he do it? What does he receive? You believe him demented; but there is method in his “madness.” First, he likes the work, which frequently is as play to him. This is the reason underlying all others for the existence of amateur journalism. In a small world of two or three hundred people, doing similar work, an amateur journalist loses himself happily, and enjoys an existence apart from the world of his immediate surroundings. He writes articles, editorials, stories, poems, es- says. what-not. He publishes them and contribu- tions from the pens of other amateurs. He ex- presses his opinions on affairs in the amateur world, criticises his fellows’ work, helps elect to office in amateur journalistic associations his friends, or to defeat those with whose policies he disagrees, does everything in a small way that the editor of a daily newspaper or a weekly or monthly magazine does for all the world. Further, he does this without hindrance or restraint. No one can dictate to him. Above all, there is the rich re- ward of having accomplished something. A twenty-page magazine, well printed and pleasingly bound, deserves praise. Is he insensible of the value of his money or of his time that he thus spends both in unrenumera- tivc labor? Not wholly. An amateur journalist prizes certain gain from his work. He learns to express himself with increasing readiness and flu- ency. He gains an idea of the worth of individual composition. Another advantage in amateur journalism is the opportunity for organization. The National Ama- teur Press Association, the largest organization of amateur journalists, was formed in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition. From that time on it has bound together the amateurs of the United States, providing for them a healthy political life, as well [Continued on page 13.� .] SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIA I OR ii 7 rClbatto3)oMbcn©nc©oc6Clammmg J6v 1ba; cl 1R.

A bathing suit is. of course, most practical. Any suit of old clothes will, how- ever, serve the purpose. Have no fears about looking ridiculous. The inhabitants of the clam- fiats are not particular or discriminating in the matter of dress. Next, procure a strong hoc, a clam rake, and a large basket or pail. Invite your brother and other members of the household to accompany you. You arc, of course, perfectly capable of filling the basket yourself; nevertheless, a com- pany of three or four is so much pleasanter. Now sally forth for the beach, the hoe over your shoulder, your spirits and courage high. When the shore has been reached, and your shoes left upon the bank, proceed to wade across the channel. This being your first experience in clam-digging, the little trip over to the fiats will afford much enjoyment. You step gaily across, not realizing the greatness of the labor which awaits you. Upon reaching the flats, select a good spot where the sand is black and covered with broken shells. Grasp in your hand the hoe. then wield it vigorously. Now take up the short rake. Dig it deep down into the sand until it touches a shell, then proceed to bring to light the discovered clam or clams, as the case may be. In order to do this safely without cracking the shell, you may be obliged to use your hands, tender though they be. Do not be afraid of roughening them or of cut- ting your fingers.

Work steadily for a while; then, when your arms and back are aching, your fingers bruised, and your basket only half full of clams, draw a long breath, and re- mark that you had better rest for a moment. You now arise slowly from the ground, over- looking any dizziness you may experience. Walk aimlessly about here and there, picking up now and then a stray clam, which you deposit in some- body’s basket. Your own. in the meantime, is being filled by some kind person who, more often from lack of space in his own pail than from sheer goodness of heart, is giving you a helping hand. Cheerfully and uncomplainingly assume the burden of carrying home your basket, which has become exceedingly heavy. Should anybody offer to assist you in this undertaking, thankfully accept his aid; if not, bravely start off alone. The tide has been, in the meantime, slowly creeping in., and the channels arc now quite deep. The fact that your skirt becomes dripping wet must not affect or deter you in the least. You must look to the care of the basket; there is danger of its being carelessly upset. After a long, weary struggle you reach the beach, here to seat yourself with a sigh, a sigh both of weariness and of relief. When your shoes are put on, and your burden again taken up, there is another long walk to the house, the heavy basket weighing you down at every step. Lastly, you arc in duty bound to assure your friends of your pleasure in the trip. You must assert that you have enjoyed the work immensely, and that nothing, in your estimation, affords quite so much fun as digging clams.

Butman, 'll ■m J X tlic early part of the eighteenth cen- tury there lived a merchant named Van Holt, who carried on a trade in blitter and eggs between Holland and England and other countries. He had a large ship and a jolly crew, who gave him many a pleasant hour. Nevertheless Van Holt was always glad when his ship turned toward Holland, for there he had a loving wife and seven blooming daughters. At the time this story begins Frau Van Holt had been very ill, and was recovering so slowly that her doctor advised an ocean voyage. When Mynheer Van Holt heard the doctors advice, he decided to take his wife and daughters on his next voyage. Ilis ship was soon loaded with butter and eggs, and the family went on board. There were Frau Van Holt, looking pale and weak; Hilda, the eld- est daughter; Katrinka and Lucretia, the twins; Mavken, Rychie, Gretel. and little Wilhelmina. Their ages ranged from twenty-six to ten. Like all Dutch girls, they had light hair, blue eyes, and rosy cheeks, and. as may be imagined, were pic- tures of health. Hilda and the twins seemed rather apprehensive of danger, for they had read tales of shipwrecks and sea robbers, but the others seemed very con- tented. For the first week or so they found very interesting occupation in thoroughly cleaning and polishing the ship. Up to this time, there had never been any women on board, consequently the ship had not received much scrubbing, accord- ing to a Dutch housewife’s ideas. The girls did their work so conscientiously that after a few days every inch of the boat shone as brightly as the floors of their own spotless little house in Hol- land. When this state of perfection had been brought about, and the girls had nothing more to do. tliev found the days very monotonous. One afternoon they were sitting on the deck making dainty muslin caps and kerchiefs, when a gust of wind came and blew several of the caps off into the sea. Now. isn’t that too bad!” exclaimed Gretel. Here we arc ‘way out in the middle of the ocean, and no way to get any more material. If many more of our things blow away we won’t have any- thing to do. Just then Jack Foot, one of the sailors, came along, and, seeing unhappy looks in the girls’ faces, began to dance. He wore wooden shoes, which were not really necessary on shipboard, but they made his dancing much more ludicrous. He looked so comical that the girls were soon laugh- ing till their sides ached. When he grew tired he told them stories about sea robbers which made cold shivers run down their backs. The next morning the girls were sitting to- gether talking about what they would like to do when they returned home. The twins said they could never be happy if they were separated, and that they should never marry, now that their lovers had been lost. A very strange thing had happened a few months before this. Carl Scummcl. a young com- mander in the Dutch navy, with Hans and Jacob Schmidt and Ren Brinker, had been lost with one of the Dutch men-of-war. No storm had oc- curred. and it was a great mystery what had be- come of him. Carl Scummel was engaged to Hilda, the Schmidt boys to the twins, and Ben Brinker to Mayken. While the girls were conversing, they noticed their father and the captain talking excitedly about a ship which had appeared on the horizon. All the morning the crew and the entire Van Holt family watched the pursuing vessel. They made every effort to increase the speed of their ship, but despite their utmost exertions the omi- nous looking craft gained upon them. About noon they could see the threatening black flag, with its gruesome skull and cross- bones. The captain decided that his cargo of but- ter and eggs must be sacrificed because it hin- dered the speed. Van Holt was very loath to lose such a valu- able cargo, but he valued the lives of his family. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 119 himself, and his crew more than all the butter in the world. While he was contemplating; what to do, a bright thought came to him. He chuckled, and exclaimed: “Ha! I have a scheme. Why not use the butter and eggs to defend ourselves?” What!' cried his astonished listeners. What do you mean to do? Jack, ' said Van Holt to a sailor, you and the rest of the crew go down into the hold and bring up all but two cases of eggs. Peter. addressing the cook. I want you to melt six tubs of butter and bring them to me. While these orders were being carried out, the pirate ship was fast approaching. Mynheer Van Holt smiled and stood ready to face the enemy. At this instant the cook appeared, followed by six sailors bearing tubs of steaming hot butter, and in turn was followed by the rest of the crew, carrying boxes of rather ancient eggs. By this time the pirates could be plainly heard swearing and yelling at one another. As soon as their boat came alongside, the leader. Captain Blood, ordered his men to board the ship. hive savage-looking villains, with shaggy black beards and evil countenances, started to climb the sides of the vessel. As the villains were clambering up the sides of the boat, they were welcomed by streams of boil- ing butter, which bubbled and sizzled over their heads, down their necks, and into their eyes and mouths. A lively hailstorm of rather dilapidated eggs added to the downpour did not improve the tempers of the pirates. With cries of pain and rage, they fell into the sea. Captain Blood was hit on his long, hooked nose by an egg which might have been in existence at the time of the ark. Steaming butter next de- scended on his shaggy locks, calling forth the most terrible threats and oaths that can be imagined. He was soon in the hands of several of Mynheer Van Holt’s strong crew, who gave him such atten- tions as were needed to keep him quiet. Then stout ropes were fastened about his wrists and ankles, and he was put into the hold. The work was by no means finished even now. for there were twenty or more pirates with whom to reckon. Van Holt saw that his butter was nearly gone, so he ordered two of the sailors to grease the deck and side of the ship as far as they could reach. It was very difficult to do this, be- cause the pirates were coming up the sides at the same time, but as soon as they reached a well- buttered surface, back they slipped. Some lost their balance and fell into the water. Others, who managed to cling to the sides for a while, con- cluded at last that they preferred brine to butter, and dropped off into depths below. At last only two villains survived. They were very daring fel- lows. and had managed somehow to reach the deck. When they began to walk, a most ludi- crous sight was presented. The motion of the ship, together with the slippery deck, caused them to reel like drunken men. and finally to fall into each other's arms. They were speedily made prisoners, so that they might be kept as souvenirs of the occasion, with their humiliated leader, who was weeping briny and buttery tears in the depths of the ship. After this exciting episode. Wan Holt and the captain investigated the pirate ship. A very pleasant surprise awaited them. They found Carl Scummel. Jacob and Hans Schmidt, and Ben Brinker in chains. They were soon released, and the rejoicing can be imagined when Hilda, the twins, and Mavken saw their lovers safe and sound. That day the two ships turned about and started for Holland. Carl Scummel took com- mand of the pirate ship, and everything was pleasant on the return voyage. The girls now found ample occupation in clean- ing the pirate ship as well as their own. They scrubbed the decks until they were nearly as white as snow, and made the sailors polish them until they were as smooth as any dance fioor. Even the masts had to be scrubbed and polished. This cleaning process occupied so much of their time that the girls had no chance to get lonesome. When the ship sailed into the home port a great welcome awaited the party. About six weeks after this, eight happy young people were united in marriage. Captain Blood was obliged to serve as door-tender, and made the best of it. He had shaved off his ugly beard, and when arrayed in a new suit of clothes did not present so ferocious an appearance as he did when first seen by Myn- heer Van Holt and his family. Grctel. Rvchie, and Wilhelmina (as well as their older sisters) had their share of good fortune when they grew up. Seldom has such a large family been so completely happy as this one, so in their happiness we leave them. 20 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR EDITORIALS February has one honor distinct from that of any other month, namely, the anniversaries of the birth of Washington and of Lincoln. It is un- necessary to mention anything about the lives of either. One can scarcely take up a paper or magazine at this time of the year without finding some tribute to one or the other of these two immortal men. As the life of Lincoln is within the memory of many people now living, it is perhaps but natural that his fame eclipse that of Washington in the eyes of the present generation. It is surely won- derful to observe how year by year the memory ■of “Honest Abe becomes more revered in the hearts of the people of our country. We must not forget, however, the greatness of the ‘‘Father of Our Country. nor the services which he per- formed for the present nation. It should be a matter of national pride for every loyal American to think of the two giants of character and intellect which this country has produced within so comparatively few years of each other. Europe required centuries to bring forth a Caesar and a Napoleon. The United States, less than three hundred years after its set- tlement, can boast of two names even greater than those of the lands across the Atlantic. � I We wish to call especial attention to the arti- cle in this number by Harry L. Jones, of the Eng- lish High School faculty, in regard to the pro- posed new athletic field. Our readers will also find two views of the probable site. Mr. Jones’ article needs no explanation. It speaks emphati- cally for itself. It would be a most unfortunate situation if our football team should find itself next fall without an athletic field. As the lease upon Broadway field expires in July, it is evident that quick action must be taken regarding a new field. We hope the citizens of Somerville will realize the need of adequate quarters for the High School ath- letic teams, and secure them immediately, the sooner the better. r . The Radiator staff for 1911-12 will be chosen by the competition method introduced last year. The positions to be filled arc: Editor-in-chief, sporting editor, and alumni editor (Latin) from the Latin School, class of 1912; assistant business manager. Latin School, class of 1913; associate1 editor, exchange editor, business manager, sec- ond assistant business manager, alumni editor (English) and staff artist, English School, class of 1912. Any member of these classes is eligible for a position, provided lie has good standing in scholarship and sufficient interest in the Radi- ator. Students desiring to compete are re- quested to give their names SOON either to the editor in Room 21 of the English School or to the associate editor. Room 21 of the Latin School. � ► ► ► The next number of the Radiator will be the alumni number, following out the custom of previous years. With the exception of the June issue, it will be the largest Radiator ever pub- lished. It will contain a large amount of inter- esting material written by many of the prominent graduates of both schools. As this March Radi- ator will contain thirty-six pages, at the usual price, each copy will cost more than the proceeds of its sale. Therefore, we urge the student body SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 121 to buy a goodly number of copies, and so help the paper from suffering too great a financial loss, r r k Our Andrew Carnegie, ’ of the ex-school board members, S. Newton Cutler, has added another to the already long list of his gifts to the High Schools. To the Latin School library he has presented the following: The Greatness and Decline of Rome” (five volumes), Eerrero; “Home Life of the Ancient Greeks,” Zimmern; The Life of the Ancient Greeks, Gulick; “A History of Greek Art (three volumes), Tarbell; “Roman Life in the Days of Cicero, ' Church; “The Classic Myths in English Literature,” Gay- ley; Greek Constitutional History,” Greenidgc: “Social Life in Greece,” Mahaffy; 'flic Age of Fable,” Bulfinch; “The Private Life of the Romans,” Preston and Dodge. To the English School library he has presented a choice illustrated edition of Greene’s Snorter History of the Eng- lish People, in four volumes, and an extremely fine, fourteen-volume edition of Oliver Wendell Holmes’ complete works The Radiatoh, in behalf of the student body, cordially thanks Mr. Cutler for his constant inter- est, and especially for this last very valuable gift, r � The Latin school, at the beginning of the last half of the year, had two new teachers added to its corps, Miss Julia T. Connor and Mr. Seth A. Loring. Miss Connor was born in Somerville and edu- cated in the Bell Grammar and Latin High schools. She went to Radcliffe. whore she ac- complished the course in three years, graduating in 1905 magna cum laude. While at college she was a member of the Mandolin Club, and took second-year honors in classics. She then taught one year in the Somerville Latin school as a student teacher. The next year was spent in teaching Latin and mathematics at the Hunting- ton High School. Huntington. Mass. From there she went to the Watertown High School, Watertown. Mass., to teach mathematics. Miss Connor was just entering upon her fourth year at Watertown when she was called to Somerville. Mr. Loring was born in Auburn, Maine. He received the first part of his education in Port- land. Maine, attending the Shailer Grammar School and the Portland High School. He then entered Tufts College, where he received the Goddard prize in mathematics for the year 1901- 1902. During his Senior year, 1904-1905, lie played first mandolin in the Tufts Mandolin Club. After graduation Mr. Loring was sub-master in the Rockland High School, Rockland, Maine, for two years, principal of the Wilmington High School. Wilmington. Mass., for two and a half years, and for one year principal of the Oxford High School, Oxford. Mass. Now he is teach- ing us geometry and history. K. r r. � The Radiator extends a hearty welcome to the advance guard of the class of 1915, who have just begun their high school career at the mid- year. Semi-annual promotions, though a bit complicated at first, will no doubt prove a fine thing when the cog wheels are adjusted. We are tempted to wonder a bit what high school will be like four years hence, with eight classes in each school instead of four as at the present time. r ► it The editor regrets exceedingly the publication of an article which was not original in the January issue of this paper. We trust that the sense of honor of the students of Somerville High Schools will prevent the repetition of so un- pleasant an occurrence either in this or any other year. •f. K ■ Winter is waning, and before we realize it. our baseball team will be out at spring practice. Al- though Somerville, as a rule of late years, has not been very successful in baseball, we can at least hope that the tide will turn and give us an old-time winner this year. 122 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR flew Htblettc jftclb iDr. lb. X. Sones, of tbe IE. 1b. S. jfacultv? The lease on I Broadway field expires in July, and is not to be renewed. Therefore the future of high school athletics is of great concern to the student body of our school. The city land adjoining the city home and the long strip of land bordering Alewife brook make an available place for a new athletic field, chil- dren’s playground, and park. The need and op- portunity have come for such an undertaking, and in a comprehensive plan for a combination ath- letic grounds and public park. City Engineer E. V. Bailey has succeeded in an ideal and practical way. His plan provides for all outdoor games, as football, baseball, track, tennis, boating, skating, and swimming, with commodious facilities for chil- dren of all ages. Somerville should not lose sight of this latter feature. The plan calls for a field for football and base- ball with a reinforced concrete grandstand of artistic design which would seat 1,500 people. Movable stands could be erected to accommodate a larger attendance. The dressing-rooms for home and visiting teams would be under the ends of the concrete stands. The outdoor gymnasium would have vaulting horses, quoits, parallel bars, rings, ladders, and all necessary equipment. There would be tennis and basket ball courts and a one-third-mile running track. A boathouse would be provided for motor boats and canoes. Boating and skating could be enjoyed to Spy pond in one direction and to the Mystic lakes in the other direction. The plan includes a large swimming pool, with i rustic bridge separating the men and boys from the girls if this should be desirable. On either end of the athletic field a place is provided for automobiles and carriages. Three fine concrete buildings are planned for with porch roofs, the one on the children’s house being one hundred feet long and admirably adapted for an under- cover playground in stormy or hot weather. These buildings could be started in a small man- ner at first and added to as needs required. Trees, shrubs,'and fountains arc shown in the plan. When completed, the place would be a beauty spot, and one not found elsewhere. The total area of the field would be seventeen acres, with a length of 1,900 feet. This tract of land is ideally situated on the pro- posed Metropolitan boulevard, leading in one di- rection to Cambridge and west to YYaverley, Bel- mont. and beyond ; in the opposite direction lead- ing to the beaches, lakes, and the hells. It is within five minutes of Broadway with its main- lines of cars from all parts of our city, and a short distance from Massachusetts avenue in Cam- bridge. In order to bring about this undertaking, the park commission has yet to give over the con- trol of the land to the city, and the city has to assume the burden of development and mainte- nance. The park commissioners have been ap- proached and arc favorably disposed. The city could issue bonds for such a necessity, and take up one part of the plan at a time. The student body of the school will watch with interest the development of Engineer Bailey's plan. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 123 HI Wilfred V. Chandler, Class Editor. Alfred B.

A young man finds upon his coat a single thread of beautiful golden hair. The youth pounces upon it eagerly, and after holding it be- fore him and gazing at it long and fondly, he places it gently in his book to preserve and treasure it as a souvenir: for was it not a strand of her hair? But, alas! The greatest joys arc but short-lived: the teacher notices his abstracted condition, and gently, but firmly, relieves him of the cause of his abstraction, and deposits it in the waste basket.

While riding on her horse one morn- ing, she was thrown and hurt badly, and as she was near the hospital, she was carried there and cared for. When Helen Masters was well on the road to recovery, the time began to hang heavily on her hands. It was nearing Christmas, and as the day drew nearer, Helen became more home- sick and more discontented. So she lay on the morning of December -M. looking out upon the beautiful lake, on the bank of which stood the hospital. Mrs. Masters had just left her, and Helen felt worse than ever. A letter from home that day told her of a beautiful snow storm and the plans that were being made for Christmas. While the girl lay dreaming of home, a nurse came in with a large box. “Here is a box from America, Miss Masters,” she said. “Is it for me? cried Helen, eagerly. “Yes. I have had it opened for you. and if you wish. I will hand you the packages.” Please do! Mercy! What is that?” she cried, as the nurse lifted a large, heavy bundle from the box. “I'm sure 1 don't know. It is marked ‘Helen, from Cousin Edith.' ” Sister Mary cut the string and laid the bundle beside Helen. The girl excitedly pulled the paper off, and took up the note inside. 'Dearest Helen.' she read aloud, T am sending you a bundle of school papers that I’ve received this year so far, and I would like to hear your criticisms on them. There is something else, of course, in the box from me, but I thought the papers would help pass away those long and tedious hours you wrote about.

Tt will be made up of mostly new material, but Captain Williams. Laurie. Dickson. Morton, Knox. Parks, Garland, and some others of last year’s squad will be back. Laurie will undoubt- edly develop into good material for the box. and with Garland and Knox on the receiving end. we should have a good battery. With Parks. Nor- ton. and Williams in the infield, and some good material for first base, we will have an impene- trable base line. With a competent coach, good material, and honest work on the part of the can- didates. we need fear no team. But let the scholarship be a point or two more than is needed rather than a point or two below. The 1911 team is going to make history. Here's to its success! Somerville defeated Andover. 8-2. January 25 at Andover. A surprising amount of team work en- abled the visitors to defeat the home team. Som- erville did her best work in the second period, scoring seven goals during the last five minutes. Andover had no aggressiveness or team work. The first period closed with the score 2-1. in favor of Andover. Somerville came back strong, and scored seven goals during the last five minutes. The Somerville line-up: Dickson. Whittaker. Laurie. Townsend, and Cosgrove, forwards; Garland, cover-point: Hamilton, point: Donahue, goal. Goals made—By Laurie ( 0, Dickson. Cos- grove. Whittaker (2). Brltnoton, io; Somerville, 0 Somerville lost her first league game to .Arling- ton at the Boston Arena January 13, 10-0. Ar- lington's defensive work was excellent. Lowe and Buttrick stopping all attempts at goal. Her for- wards were able to carry the puck at will through the entire Somerville team, while, with the excep- tion of Whittaker, the Somerville forwards could not hold the puck long enough to get within scor- ing distance. Hadley scored inside of one minute after rush- ing the puck directly in front of Somerville's goal. Arlington made six goals in the first period, scor- ing easily and quickly. Hamilton shot the puck into the cage while trying to shoot it one side, giv- ing Arlington another goal. In the second half George took McIntyre’s place, but Arlington continued to score, getting four goals in this period, using almost a new team. Hadley and Osgood did most of the scoring for Arlington, and seemed to be everywhere at once. Whittaker and Captain Dickson played hard and fast for Somerville, but were unable to do any- thing without support. The Somerville forwards were no match whatever in skating for the Arling- ton men.

The conditions were excellent for hockey, by far the best this year. The ice was hard and smooth, and the day was not too cold. The teams were evenly matched, and most of the time the puck was in the centre of the rink. At times both goals were threatened, and Milton succeeded in getting the puck into the cage three times, while the shots of the Somerville forwards were blocked or turned aside. Both teams played a fast and clean game, Somerville slowing up somewhat in the second period. Captain Phillips scored all of Milton’s goals, and did good work rushing and defending his own territory. With a little more speed. Whittaker and Laurie would have pulled off some good plays, but they were broken up before getting within striking distance. Donahue showed up well at goal, stopping many dangerous shots. The summary:— MILTON ACADEMY. ’ SOMERVILLE. Felton, f........... Handy, f............. Phillips (Capt.), f. ... Allen, f............

Somerville was unable to hold off the Melrose forwards, and the puck was in Som- erville territory most of the time. Melrose showed great team work, while Somerville had none. C. Wannamaker and Captain Macdonald starred for Melrose, Wannamaker scoring four goals and Macdonald two. Both did good rush- ing and passing. Whittaker played well in Hashes, but not steadily.

Somerville showed the same much-improved team work that enabled them to defeat Andover, 8-2. The for- wards played in their positions, and rushed and passed excellently. With a little more speed and more power behind their shots, more goals would have been scored. The Somerville defence was impenetrable, the only goal being secured on a long angle shot just striking the inside corner of the cage. The B. C. II. S. forwards were slow and lacked team work, but their defence stopped some shots that looked like sure goals. O’Connell and Hunt played the best for B. C. II.

Somerville, 4; Ibalfccn, 0 On January 31 Somerville defeated Malden, 1-0, on the Malden Reservoir. The game was some- what rough and slow because of the large area. The Malden team was unable to get the puck within scoring distance but once, and that time the shot was easily stopped and turned aside by SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 135 Donahue. This was the only time the Somerville goal was in danger. Kimball, the Malden goal, stopped no less than forty shots, only letting four get by him. Ives' work and that of Scrymateour was the best of the Malden team. The Somerville forwards were able to keep the puck in Malden territory most of the time, and kept the Malden Iefence busy during the entire game. The same excellent team work was conspicuous in this game. The passing and shooting were on time and just right. Whittaker, because of his supc- rior skating, did good work for Somerville.

At conventions amateur journalists meet and come to know in real life the people they have written to and written about. They form friend- ships they often cherish during their entire life- time. It has well been said that an amateur jour- nalist need never travel over this country without meeting friends: he has several in every large city and in many small towns, wherever he goes. SOMERVILLE- NEWTON JOINT DEBATE Newton H. S. Hall, March 17 — 8 o'clock Watches Clocks Jewelry M. GREEN JEWELER AND OPTICIAN This in general is an amateur journalist’s work. Has the man himself appeared to be merely a young fellow dabbling in literature and inconse- quential politics? If so, prepare to be disillusion- ized. A few years ago the editor of the Poston Journal, in his youth an amateur, wrote an active amateur editor asking him to conduct an amateur journalist’s column in the juvenile Sunday supple- ment. with a view to increased circulation. His correspondent replied that, inasmuch as some of the little boys and girls he mentioned as possible subscribers were thirty or forty years old, the juvenile supplement was hardly an appropriate place for an amateur journalist’s department. The editor, although astonished, “rose to the oc-v casion” and replied: “If amateur journalists of the day arc forty or fifty years old. I am just about the right age to apply for admission to an associa- tion.” Such is the case. There are amateur jour- nalists of all ages and descriptions. Here, in the vicinity of Poston, there arc two amateurs in Pos- ton High Schools, one in the English, one in the Latin: last year there were two in the Somerville English High School: there are two in the Mel- rose High school: another, on the other hand, is in the employ of the Associated Press in Poston; another works for Lee. Higginson Co., the bankers: another is a school teacher in a Poston evening school; still another is a lawyer of many years' practice. George E. Day. general secre- tary of the Somerville Y. M. C. A., is an amateur journalist noted for his graceful poetry. He is still enthusiastic, although he has little time for participation in amateur journalism now. So, in every part of this country you will find an amateur journalist in nearly every walk of life. Put nine times out of ten you will never know of his con- nection with amateur journalism, for he will rarely tell you of it. He regards his hobby as a pursuit for his pleasantest hours, to be revealed only to his closest friends.

And I was a boy and knew nothing of men: But they tilled all the vale with their clangorous thrill. Ami flooded tlie gloom of the glen. “The trumpets. I cried. Lo. they call from afar. They are mingled with music of bugle and drum ; The trumpets, tlie trumpets are calling to war. The trumpets are calling—I come. The trumpets were calling me over the Range, And I was a youtlh and was strong for the strife ; And I was full fain for tlie new and the strange. And mad for the tumult of life. And I heard the loud trumpets that blew for the fray, In the spell of their magic and madness was dumb ; And I said. “I will follow by night and by day. The trumpets are calling—I come.” The trumpets were calling and I was a man. And had faced the stern world and grown strong ; And the trumpets were calling far off and 1 ran Toward the blare of their mystical song. And they led me o’er mountains, ’neath alien skies. All else but their music was dumb : And I ran till I fell, and slept but to rise. Lo, the trumpets are calling—I come. The trumpets are calling. I’ve come to the sea. But far out in the moon-lighted glow, I still hear the trumpets, they’re calling to me, The trumpets are calling—I go. And lo. a strange boatman is here with his bark. And he takes me and rows away, silent and dumb : But my trumpets! My trumpets! They peal through the dark. The trumpets are calling—I come.

He realizes that Ye Editor has sensed the presence of the seven concealed white hairs, and has perceived from’afar the incipient wrinkle. Yet oppressed as he is by these grim reflections, no man—and surely no woman!—can resist an opportunity to expand at will the story of the past. I confess myself no exception to the rule. Already, as my thoughts turn back. I admit it. fifteen years! It seems but yesterday that the first Senior class of the new English High School was assembling. As the years have gone by. and I have acquired a better perspective from my own experiences in the teacher's profession, my respect has increased, and my sense of humor has been more and more tickled by the skill with which our tactful headmaster reduced a turbu- lent crew to the most lamb-like submission. We entered the new school with the firm con- viction that we should take orders from no new faculty. Had not we the advantage of three years' priority residence on that hill? We in- dulged in the fancy, also, that it would be a kind- ness on our part to instruct the new comers in the traditions which we deemed it advisable to bring from the old school to the new. We planned to be gentle, but firm; and to impress the new teachers with the fact that, while we were willing to be reasonable, even kind, we were not to be trifled with. To this day I have never fully understood what happened. There were a few speeches in as- sembly hall, a few private interviews. The idea was somehow suggested that we had been pining for the opportunity to do several definite things, which we had come with the settled inten- tion not to do; and before we knew it. we were, as one man. working to lay a foundation upon which future Senior classes might build. As sure as can be. the Napoleons and Machiavclli never managed so diplomatically, for they were both feared and hated in the end. while our con- queror was first respected and then loved. I do not wish to give the impression that the class of 1X5 was a collection of good little bovs and girls of the sort that die young, because the majority of us are still alive, which is evidence to the contrary. I am afraid we were guilty occa- sionally of the very unoriginal sins of whispering, passing notes, and giggling. I seem to remem- ber that Mr. Avery considered me an inveterate whisperer, and used frequently to keep me after school, though he courteously declares now that he doesn't remember it. Then, one boy could make queer noises with his mouth shut and his face wearing an expression of cherubic innocence. I thought at the time that his performances were excruciatingly funny; but I used to be scared almost into insensibility when Mr. Beede would suddenly pop into the room, and. pointing an accusing finger at everybody in general, inquire in an awful voice: Did you make that noise?” Strange, we found Mr. Beede a most inspiring teacher. We liked him tremendously as a man, and he was not at all terrifying either in appear- ance or manner ordinarily, but he used to grow to most appalling proportions when he ap- proached a group of pupils who were filled with the consciousness of naughtiness. When all of our blackness is painted, however, our worst sins were but youth and high spirits. We were so full of the joy of living that we just had to break out mildly once in a while; but we would not have done a thing to injure our reputa- tions as the first Senior class, or really to hurt the school any more than we would have cut off our heads. With our growing sense of responsi- bility as Seniors and school citizens, came a very real love for the institution of which we were a proud part. We saw members of our class win- ning athletic laurels such as Somerville had never before received, our chorus bringing honor to the school with its rendering of The Holy City. — can anyone even now keep silent when Mr. Had- ley says: Now. sing! We heard that our school was acquiring all over the country a splendid reputation for scholarship. Were we proud? None more so. And finally, our teachers. At the time, we thought them unusually clever, original, brilliant. 142 SO Vl ER VILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR or charming as the ease might be. We realized dimly that they were always interested in our small affairs, always helpful, always encouraging. Now, after years, I realize that ours was the privilege of association with men and women of fine culture and great heart, who were, and are, teachers in the highest and truest sense of that much-abused word. If every member of '9(5 were questioned, I believe many of them would have to say that they got their first inspirations, their first ideals of citizenship, of manhood, of womanhood, service, from the earnestness, the unselfishness, the intelligent sympathy of these men and women. I, for one, know that what- ever of opportunity and enjoyment college train- ing has afforded me, whatever of success I have attained in mv profession, I owe it to the friend- ship of one who still gives willing and valued service to the school. She knows that I never think of her except with a heart full of affection and gratitude: and that I should consider my work crowned if I could be to my pupils what she has been to me. We of '9(5 do not return to the school often— sonic of us live in distant cities; all of us arc busy with many affairs; but we know what the people of the Somerville English High School are doing. We rejoice in the laurels won from time to time, and we are increasingly proud of our connection with them, though it is remote. The Somerville English High School has the loyalty and good wishes of every one of us “old grads”—aged fifteen. Cbc Spirit of Spring J6y Olive £. Departs, X., TO Olive !•:.

The dew’s on the clover, 'I'he world’s bubbling over with glee, The flowers are nodding their welcome. The birds gaily chirp; “Come and see!” Each breeze, sweeping over the cornfields, Brings with it the hum of the bee; Yea, ’tis a glorious spring morning.— Come over the meadows with me! The brook babbles on to the mill-pond. Forgotten its last winter’s sleet. And laughs as it merrily sprinkles A little maid’s unwary feet. But lo! the sun crosses the heaven. And soon will begin his retreat, I he noontide is here, and the flowers Are drooping beneath its dread heat. The birds seek their nests in the treetops, The bees’ hum sounds weary and cross, And hardly a breeze now is stirring; The cornfields stand parched from the loss. Xow come, let us seek for a shelter, And sonic shady nook of cool moss, Soon, soon will come breezes of evening, E'en now do the trees ’gin to toss. The even has come, and the flowers.

Sobw niMlton IDc lDUltn, IE., ’03; ID. H. XL, ’07 John M. McMillin was born in the West. His father is an inspector in the postal service, and necessarily lo- cated in various cities. Mr. McMillin's early education was the product of many schools. In ISiHt he entered the Knglish School, where he made an honorable record. He was a frequent contributor to the Radiator, and during his senior year. IboiMoo::. was editor-in-chief, producing, without doubt, the finest volume the paper has ever published. Mr. McMillin took the course in mining engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Tech nolog.v. receiving the degree of H. s. in 1!K)7. He is now in the employ of Henry Doherty Co., Wall street. New York City. IVTXG advice is by no means a popu- lar habit, and it would therefore be at the risk of losing friends to at- tempt to offer many suggestions. However, there are several elemen- tary facts which are learned very early after leaving school, which could be more profitably learned earlier: and 1 will therefore enumerate a few points which have come under my own observation, and leave you, gentle reader, to draw such inferences therefrom as may seem to you appropriate. First of all, it is amazing how much there is to learn. Truly, if I had known in 11103, on leaving English High School, what small advance I had made at that time in the world's great fund of es- sential education. I should have hesitated to go on. And this unhappy fact, mind you, was not remedied merely by four arduous years at the Institute of Technology, either. Last June a very distinguished man of wide at- tainments and national importance was invited, as he often is at such times, to address a graduating class at a university. I had the honor of a visit with him soon after, and. in speaking of the gen- eral problem of life, he described his visit to the university, and said: And I asked myself, as I stood looking at those young men from the plat- form. ‘Where in all the world can the same num- ber of men be found so ill fitted for the battle of life? ” His meaning is by no means enshrouded in ambiguity. Perhaps another man's remarks in this connection may prove of interest. He, also, is a man of large affairs. This prosperous banker said to me: When college men come to us— technical graduates only are taken in—they are absolutely not worth one dollar. The office boy is competent to do more. We can get all we want of them—honor men at that—for $50 a month. Perhaps the first inference one would draw from these two remarks would be that higher education is profitless. But. lest some misunderstanding occur, let me explain. The business man is not interested in knowing how many different things you can do indifferently well. He is concerned only with the question of how well you can do the particular thing he wants you to do. As you can- not now know what your occupation will be, it be- hooves you to develop such a degree of versatility as will enable you readily to adapt yourself to whatever opportunity may present itself. The shortest route to that end is a technical education. A second point that is worthy of your thought is that it is strangely difficult, adequately and accu- rately. to express one’s self. I recall how on enter- ing the high school I thanked my stars that the study of English grammar was (as I thought) fin- ished. As a matter of fact, it was scarcely begun, and is still not finished. How often do we ex- claim. on hearing some one close a lengthy argu- ment: That is just what I meant! But, alas! we were incompetent to express our meaning. Too often do we take refuge in such expressions as, Don’t you know—. when if our auditor did know it would be unnecessary to tell him. We describe a man's magnetism and inlluence by such vaguely descriptive phrases as. He had a great way with him, which tells but little, and. more- over. may be entirely misunderstood. Now if you will study the language used by such successful men as you arc fortunate enough to see a good deal, von will invariably find that they are always able to convey just the meaning they want to whenever they speak. They may purposely evade, they may purposely mislead, but they do lodge the fact in your mind that they want to put there. Their persuasive manner is usually com- posed principally of excellent English and an in- timate knowledge of the subject under considera- tion. On the other hand, we are often pained to see a man with an excellent project which he can- not adequately expound. Of such a one it is 144 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR plain himself in an orderly and comprehensive manner he is usually assumed—often perhaps un- justly—to he without the necessary analytical talents to work out his scheme clear down to its details. A third observation that I would like to make is that it seems extremely difficult for many to do exactly as directed. ()f course one must use judg- ment in all things, and if the instructions specify a one-inch bolt in a threc-quartcrs-inch hole, it is obvious that either the hole or the bolt must be altered. Hut when, after much thought and labor, a “form is devised on which certain information is to be supplied, it is surprising that every one cannot follow directions. Many cannot, however, as I have learned. The value of “red tape is not universally appreciated. There must be system, nevertheless, and it is often less difficult to organize a method than to put it in force. One of the important lessons to learn early is to follow directions. Another fact that you may not now be fully aware of is that success is very largely composed of hard work. The great man in the story book is often described as being in his office from noon until three. But the truth is that he is at work every minute he is awake, his recreation being- taken as a means of keeping his mind alert. One conspicuously successful man whom I know allows himself only five hours sleep, and when he is awake he is thoroughly so. Another is at his desk often at 7.: 10 in the morning. A third gets to his office much later, but may nearly always be found there at ten at night, and very often until much later. This may throw some light on the interesting fact that if you want to get something done, the busiest person may usually be most safely appealed to to assume the added burden. There is perhaps nothing new in the foregoing observations. You are told these things daily at school. In order to assist you to appreciate their importance, however, they are here retold as facts learned by experience on the part of one of your predecessors. I have endeavored to shape my own conduct in conformity to these principles, and would recommend the same course to you, gentle reader. , B ©luitpse of Salem IRorntal School from the 1tnsit e B IRutb II.

The elementary course is a two-year course at present, although there is a rumor that it is to be changed to three years. The first year is mainly academic work in prep- aration for the practice during the second year. During this year a great deal of observing is done in the model school. The second year consists of some academic work and nine weeks’ practice in the Salem schools. riu commercial course is a three-year course, consisting of training in all branches of commer- cial work, together with the necessary psychology and pedagogy. During the third year there arc nine weeks of practice in the commercial and high preparing for teaching in the commercial depart- schools. 'Jk m EFORE I entered the Normal School I knew very little of the work or aims of the school, except what could be gained by reading the cata- logue. I am sure it would have been a pleasure to me to have been able to learn more about it from one of the stu- dents. Perhaps some of the students in the Som- erville High Schools are in the same position. I will try to make clear a few of our tasks, as well as our pleasures. The school is divided into two departments, the elementary course, preparing for teaching in the elementarv schools, and the commercial course, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR M5 One of the important factors in the school cur- riculum is the gymnastic work, which is carried on with a view to keep the pupils in a healthy condi- tion. First in importance is the floor work. This consists of different kinds of marching, exercising, and dancing, followed by apparatus work, consisting of various exercises on the boom, lad- ders. ropes, and other gymnastic apparatus. Last, but by no means of minor importance, the pupils arc taught instructive games. This is chiefly first-year work, while the second is taken up in teaching the exercises to the pupils of the practice school, as well as receiving more instruc- tion. 'fhe school has a fine basket ball team, made up of the members of both classes. Several games have been played with remarkable success. I he girls are enthusiastic over tennis, and expect to have a tournament in the spring. During the year we have had the privilege of listening to many interesting lectures by noted men and women of the educational world. Not long ago the president of Smith College spoke to us on Loyalty. This was without doubt the most interesting lecture that any one of 11s had ever listened to. Although there is a social as well as an aca- demic side of our school life, the academic side is of the greatest importance. I would not advise girls to undertake the work here who have not a decided wish to teach, not in order that they may make money, but from a love of the profession. It means good hard labor, and success cannot be attained if there is 110 love for the work to help during the discouragements that arc bound to come. Zhc Ctrl ant tbe “3feet ” .H$v jfrancts H.

LLO, wifey, what’s the news? Such was the query that greeted Bob Miller, Tufts. 1 !M—, as he entered his suite in Dean Hall. His roommate, Tad Cummings, comfortably reclin- ing in his revolving chair, with his feet perched on his paper-strewn desk, was lazily blowing smoke rings, while on the other side of the cosily-furnished room Jack Stanton, who roomed across the hall, was happily located on the couch, well supplied with pillows. Oh. nothing much. I just took one of ‘Gym Durk’s ‘ehem’ exams, and ! sure did hit it an awful wallop.” Gee! No such luck here. growled Jack. Dilly handed us an exam in ‘analyt’ this morning, and I flunked it cold. ‘Pro’ for me. I guess. “I think I flunked ‘ec’ yesterday. yawned Tad. “Just coll, though. he added. Bob threw off his coat and proceeded to estab- lish himself in the Morris chair. I’ve got the papers; who’s got the makin’s?” he questioned. Here go. replied Tad, tossing his roommate a package of Bull Durham. “By the way. Bob, who yer going to take to the evening party? Why—er. I hardly know. stammered Bob, in evident embarrassment. I suppose Miss Wingate ditched you. didn't she? grinned Tad, winking at Jack. Yes. chimed in lack, I understand that 'Pom Nason and Miss Wingate stood out in front of Start House chinning so long after the last dance that the student government officials had to call Marjorie in.” Aw. don’t kid the poor feller. Jack. ‘It’s bet- ter to have loved and lost than never to have loved.’ anyway, ain’t it. Bob? Bob arose and calmly flung on his coat and hat. He strode to the door, opened it. and turned, de- fiance in his voice:— You fellers think vou’re awfullv smart, but all 146 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I've got to say is that I've got money in my wallet for a good feed for three at the Adams House that Miss Marjorie W ingate accepts my bid for the evening party. Are you on?” ' Ve sure are! vociferated Tad and Jack in chorus. Rob turned and slammed the door. He was far less confident of success than his words showed. Accustomed to having things come his way from the day he entered college to the recent elections, when he had been honored with the presidency of his class and membership in Ivy. I Job was piqued not a little at this his first reverse. To be thrown down by a Jackson freshman! 'Poni Nason was a strapping fellow, with big muscles, but not much brains. A ‘varsity football star, strikingly hand- some. I Job could well sec how a freshman, espe- cially a Jackson freshman, would be deeply im- pressed with Tom Nason’s attentions. Rob left Dean and wandered aimlessly over the hill. He reached the library, passed around it, and strode briskly along the foot-path leading to the main entrance gate. The December sun was waning, bathing the snow in a rosy pink. On Rob’s left the fir trees cast deep blue shadows across the glistening crust: on the right the chapel and Rallou stood out beautifully clean and clear in the cold, crisp air. The crunching snow under Rob’s feet made cheery music to his ears. Rob’s spirits began to rise. Marjory Wingate was ‘pretty to walk with and witty to talk with.’ and Rob liked her. Rut he knew when he was beaten, and when she ditched him on the first evening party Rob had not the slightest idea of inviting her to the second. He didn’t relish hav- ing his bid turned down. “I was a fool to make that bet. mused Rob. “Tin up against it now, all right, but I’ll give ’em a good run for their money.” That night Rob Miller mailed his invitation to M iss Marjory Wingate for the second evening party. The next evening Goddard Gymnasium was the scene of conflict for the second series of interclass basket ball games. Rob was not much of a player, but his class was weak in basket ball material, and at the request of the captain he showed up in a suit, eager to get a chance to play, rite juniors’ opponents were the sophomores. The sopho- mores had a big. husky team, and they simply toyed with their lighter and less skilful adver- saries. Tom Nason, in particular, swept every- thing before him. caging basket after basket in the first half, and placing his team far in the lead. Rob was sent into the game in the second half, and. curiously enough, lie was pitted against Nason. Although slight, Rob was fairly muscular and full of fight, and when he ran on the floor lie was greeted with a prolonged cheer by his class- mates. He was dimly conscious, too, of some one on the Jackson side of the balcony leaning over the rail and watching his every movement. He shook hands with Nason. Nason loomed sev- eral inches above Rob. and outweighed him by fully thirty pounds, but Rob was grimly deter- mined to stick. And he did. He blocked Nason’s shots, he more than once broke up his dribbling and passing—he completely foiled his burly an- tagonist. Not without punishment, however, 'lime and again he felt the force of Nason’s weight, many a time he was elbowed and ‘ kneed. and sprawled ignominiously on the hard floor: but always lie came pluckily back for more. And still he held Nason from scoring. ”’Ad ’a boy! All da time! That’s putting it to him, Rob! Such shouts as these from the gallery were sweet to Rob’s ears, but they certainly did not serve to cool Nason’s temper. Finally, to cap the climax, Rob received a pass the length of the floor from a teammate, and, cleverly dodging Nason, broke loose and caged a pretty basket. Pandemonium! Rob was radiant; Nason’s face was fairly black with suppressed rage! At the very next toss-up Bob ran forward to get the ball from the centre. Nason madly followed, and as Bob caught the ball, he fairly ran him across the floor, and giving him the brunt of his powerful shoulder, sent him spinning toward the brick wall. Rob struck with a dull thud. He had visions of shooting stars, of solid ivory ; his head must surely burst. Then he heard his name being cheered: he heard the timekeeper’s whistle; the game was over, and he had a vague consciousness that he had made good. The next day. as Rob was limping painfully down the board-walk from Rallou he met the letter-carrier. Got anything for me. Jack?” asked Bob. Jack good-naturedly overhauled his Dean Hall pack and handed Rob a letter. Oh. you kid! murmured Rob, as he rccog- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 147 nized Miss Wingate's neat script. “Oh, you soft guy!'' Bob turned, and beheld Tad Cummings and Jack Stanton coming along the library path. He ---------- hastily broke the seal and eagerly read the en- closed note. Oh, you Adams House feed! he yelled back triumphantly. ZTbe Song Sung By? Ernest XXL Cbapin, E., ’09, illarrarb, '13 Ernest W. Chapin was burn March 1S!)1.

At college Chapin lias commanded special attention by his work in English, and has produced some extremely tine stories. SnOW an obscure composer like old Marn had reached the management of the foremost opera house in America no one knew. But some- how they had consented to put on his little tragedy in song for one week between the engagements of two world- famous operas. By the first five nights the hesita- tion and skepticism of the musical director had been justified. The piece was not a success. . a model of musical technique it was perfect : the regular singers and orchestra of the house had been well drilled and did conscientious work : yet all felt that something was lacking to make it more than a collection of studiously-conceived har- monies built about a sweet, though tragic, love story. ‘ It wants life, my friend, said the musical direc- tor. who was also leader of the orchestra. You have a succession of melodious phrases, but they lack the fire of young love to make them grip the listener as a real thing. And that finale is too simple—it is fairly doleful. “If you would only let me play. cried the bent, gray man. wringing his hands in the anguished disappointment of shattered hopes. oil cannot know the toil 1 have put in that work, how I had hoped to leave a worthy addition to the music of the world, and now —his voice trembled as he pleaded. Oh! if I could only play and show you! The director coughed slightly. Yes. yes. I know—a stupendous work—that intermezzo.—the chorus in the second act—well. well, you bring your cello to-morrow night. That is the last time, so we might as well try your own interpretation. ()ur man is rather young to bear such a burden as you have given his instrument. An announcement in the morning papers that the composer himself would take the leading or- chestral part brought a larger, more select gather- ing of musical devotees to the final performance. Some came to note the clever art with which the harmonies were written, some because they really loved good music, and many because, having noth- ing else to do. they were curious to see the effect of the writer's presence and interpretation. The old man in the orchestra pit, watching the audience gather, nervously fingered the strings of his instrument. His heart beat high with hope and tear. As the baton was raised for the pre- lude Mam’s eyes glistened, lie was living again. 'Thirty years rolled back, and he saw himself, an integral part of that wonderful orchestra of the seventies, slavishly watching each movement of the leader whom he idolized. Theodore Th .nas. But no. it was a different hand that led now. strange faces were about him: yet he would vindi- cate his age. I le would make his life's work mean something to these cold, unsympathetic people. 11 is youthful dexterity returned to express the pent-up feelings of years. A tingle of strange emotion ran through the or- chestra as they played the overture, for they felt the dynamic impulse of the old man's emotion, and they heard—ah. they heard that 'cello! Carrying 148 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the melody, it gave the dominant spirit of the play, a gentle, sweet story. Now moaning low in a minor key. now sobbing aloud as only a magnifi- cent old Velio can, now rising to a strain of clear, high singing quality, its exquisite tones quickly touched the very hearts of the listeners. It put new life into the play that raised it from musical technique to musical sublimity. So. from the very overture a new spirit prevailed. I lie first two acts passed rapidly. The audience was interested, attentive, but not fully appreciative. The singers were acting their parts with fervor, as though they had at last found some vital meaning in it all. The orchestra was more and more re- sponsive to the composer's interpretation. The intermezzo that followed was very intricate and difficult. The motif, carried first by the brasses in turbulent strain, appropriate to the duel between hero and villain in the preceding act. was toned down to a gradually subsiding restlessness by the violins until, as the curtain rose, a few bars of a sweet little running melody from the 'cello pre- pared the way for the love scene to follow. In this a tenor solo,—with cornet pianissimo,—took the spirit of young love on soaring wings to the rosy altitudes of joyous hope. Rut the consum- mation of the romance element turned by a sud- den descent to tragedy as the hero quickly suc- cumbed to a mortal wound, sustained in the duel, and died in his sweetheart's arms, 'flic finale was a soprano solo with Velio obligato, a most beauti- ful conception. The bereaved one first mourned with passionate grief, but then raised her eyes to heaven, and with arms upstretched sang the crowning truimph of the play, a piece beautiful in its simplicity, ‘Divine Consolation.” accompanied by the vibrant tones of that wonderful ’cello. Main felt that there could be no more perfect music on earth than this into which lie and the so- prano were now putting their whole heart and soul. Smiling gently, he lovingly fingered the last chords of the obligato. As the curtain fell the work of a lifetime was brought to completion by a long, tremulous note of exquisite purity. There was no thunderous applause. Save a few scattered hand-claps, the audience moved out in awed silence. The orchestra bundled hurriedly out with only a few brief words of congratulation for the composer. Last of all was the drummer, a youth of twenty. His glance at the gray hair and stooped shoulders was full of admiration and respect. Did he notice the tears in those faded blue eyes? Could he read the tragic story of an unhappy life and the simple faith in divine consola- tion told by that bent figure and those trembling hands that caressed the old Velio? No. for lie was too young to know life's way. lie only thought as he watched old Mam lovingly cover his instru- ment, pack up his music, and disappear under the stage that there was a wonderful musician. ()tto Mam. as he stepped out into the chill night air. suddenly felt a keen reaction from the trium- phant joy that had just been his. The raw east wind searchinglv penetrated his worn clothing, biting his tired old body with a vindictive sting. The clangor of car and cab struck his ear harshly. Prosperous people rudely jostled him as he stag- gered along under his cumbersome burden. Somehow he felt thrust out of the warm, living, loving world of his fellowmen into a cold, dead sphere. 1 his feeling of loneliness amid thousands of people did not leave him on reaching his dingy room. His quarters for twenty years, the room showed the narrowing character of the struggler who had worked within its walls. . Alone since the loss of his little family. Mam had shut himself up to evolve what was to be a world's masterpiece. Now that the work was done, his life seemed to have been brought to an abrupt halt. Gazing ab- sently out over the roof-tops that gleamed like barren deserts in the pale moonlight, he thought of the mother and the little Gretchcn who had been swept away by the great white plague years be- fore. Up there where the dear ones were the stars in their immutable serenity seemed to draw him out into the open. He went—knowing not whither—anywnere. W hen this unhappily successful musician awoke to his surroundings he was standing on a bridge over midstream. The unfriendly wind ruffled the black surface of the river, making it reflect the bridge lights in myriad winking dots. As he gazed at these phantom lights he felt as if standing over that stream which flowed on and on to the eternity where the best of his life had already gone. W ould not a step put him on the way to that di- vine consolation which he had expressed in mu- sic? His task was done,—why should he not free his weary soul from its sorrowful strife? Hardly realizing what he did. the old man climbed over the railing, paused a moment for one last look at the open heavens, and then dropped. A splash, then the ripples subsided, while the calm, cold moon shone on as though nothing had happened. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 49 £be Mtl anb Mooli? Most By? Ernest jf. IDer TOiebc, X., ’05; 1foan arfc, ’00 Ernest F. Ver Wiebe was born October 22. 1886, in Boston. Ilis parents moved to Somerville in isss. 11« graduated from tlie Bell School in 1!)01, and from the Latin School in 1JMJ5. He received his decree of A. li. from Harvard College. 1000. He is a member of the following: Kappa Gamma (’hi. the Institute, Dickey Club, S. o. M. Club. Deutscher Verein. and the Harvard-Somerville Latin Club. While at college lie worked every summer as brakeman for the Boston Maine railroad on passenger trains on the Eastern division. The second year at Harvard Mr. Ver WIebe earned his letter on the baseball team. During the third year he made his letter on the second football team, and in his fourth year lie played fullback on the victorious ‘varsity eleven which defeated Y ale. 4 to o, in 1008. The last two winters at Harvard he taught German and Greek in the Somerville Y. M. ('. A. Mr. Ver Wiebe is now connected with the Northern Pacific railroad. At present he lives in Minneapolis. He secured this position a month before he received his diploma from Harvard, and left for the West a few days after Commencement. E title which I have chosen is from t lie start a misnomer when we judge the portion of the country re- ferred to from its present condi- tion. True, there was a period in its development when the West (just as many other sections) could he described with the above adjectives, but we find that at the present time many have clung to the impres- sion. and believe that to-day one sees the wild scenes and the savage life which existed at the time when General Custer fought his battles, and when the railroads were forced to carry on actual warfare to force an opening for their right-of- way. It is my desire, as nearly and concisely as I can. to convert the uninitiated to the real situ- ation and conditions that are to be found in the once “wild and woolly.” I consider that after the traveler has entered the Dakotas he is at the gateway to the West proper. In the town of l argo, X. 1)., there stands in the square, hard by the Northern Pacific depot, a statue of an Indian with his hand outstretched, pointing westward, as if inviting the stranger to enter into the realm of future wealth and prosperity. Mr. Elliott says, in one of his addresses: “This Northwest of ours is just beginning to realize its great power and future. It is like a strong, brave, and beautiful young man awakening to an understanding of his physical and mental powers, and entering upon a career of hard work and noble achievement.” Fargo is a city of approximately 15,000 in- habitants. It is situated in the Red River valley. The valley appears as one vast wheat field as far as the sight can reach—in the early summer a sea of waving green: in the later summer an ocean of mottled gold. In harvest time an army of threshing machines extends frequently as far as the horizon. I11 this valley there are raised from forty to sixty million bushels of wheat yearly. Then there is considerable flax and corn raised in the valley. The prominent towns here arc Grand Forks, Grafton in North Dakota, and Moorhead and Crookston in Minnesota (the val- ley extending into Minnesota). It is indeed in- spiring to stop off and visit the towns of the above type. There one can see activity in its true sense, enthusiasm, and enjoy the western hospitality which must be experienced if one would appreciate it! Society claims its share of the time not given to financial pursuits, and some real genuine good times are possible. Passing on from the Red River valley through the miles and miles of wheat and grain, we come into the James river valley, where Jamestown is situated. All this country produces millions of bushels of wheat and grain, and one is forcibly reminded of the fact that he is in the realm known as the “granary of the world.” As one rides through the fields, he sees a fine automo- bile. which is the property of the prosperous farmer who owns the farm, and uses the machine as a means to oversee the work. This is a very common sight. Motive power is displacing the animal power of a few years ago. All kinds of modern implements and machines are being used. Leaving Jamestown, the next towns of inter- est are Mandan and Bismarck. Both are good- sized towns, the former being the scene of many bloody conflicts with Indians. Near Mandan are the remains of old Fort Abraham Lincoln, the headquarters of General Custer and the Sev- enth cavalry when they started on the campaign of ISTii, which resulted in the death of Custer SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 150 and more than 200 of his men. I have met per- sonally the only survivor of the terrible massa- cre. one of the Custer's Indian scouts. He still lives in Hillings, Montana. Jt is said that after feigning death he crawled over a mile to make his escape. The latter city is the capital of the state. Bismarck is a flourishing town, and is becoming a distributing centre for the country round about. One is still in a most fertile agricultural country, and everywhere one secs signs of prosperity and real living. The more 1 sec and the longer I am in this country, the more 1 feel that out here we truly live, while, at best, our lives in the East are only an existence. Everything free and open, plenty of pure air, partaking first hand of that which the land yields,—truly that is living with all its essence. After leaving Bismarck one comes into the bad lands, which are known to many by the name Pyramid Park. A11 army of spires, bluffs, hills, buttes rise from the plains, garbed in strong and striking colors that glow here and there like fiery beacons. Most fantastic effects have been brought about by eternal rains, which have eroded the land into perfect cones and pyramids, circumvallated by twisting ravines. These awe-inspiring formations are soon left in the wake of the train, and the traveler finds him- self in the cattle-grazing land, where sheep as well as cattle are raised in great abundance. The thriving town of Glendive, Montana, and Miles City and Billings arc the chief centres of the district. Glendive, a town of approximately 8.000. has a fine commercial club and several fine churches and public buildings. It is the centre of the wool traffic. Miles City is the cen- tre of the cattle trade. Here one finds horsemen from all over the country. Miles City boasts of a very fine hotel, considering the size of the town and the nature of the country. A very energetic lot of people are always “boosting” their town, and the “stranger within their gates” is always sure of a warm welcome. Everywhere the traditional western hospitality crops out, and it is more fact than fiction. T he traveler is now in a state (Montana) which possesses equal evidences of tremendous future prosperity. Here we find everything,—farming, dry-farming, cattle grazing, sheep herding, fruit raising, agriculture, mining, water power. One may get some idea of the size of the state when lie learns that Montana has 8,8( 2 square miles more area than New England, New York. New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland combined. Montana is larger than Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan by 1,382 square miles. The popula- tion of the North Atlantic states mentioned on January 1, 1910, was 19,143,040. The population of Montana was only 410,000,—about that of St. Paul and Minneapolis combined. Perhaps one cannot find a better refutation of the “wild and undeveloped” impressions of Montana than in the beautiful Gallatin valley and its commercial metropolis, Bozeman, a city with homes of in- telligent. cultivated people, a State Agricultural College, a United States fish hatchery and ex- periment station, all doing their part to develop the unlimited resources around them. The great area of Montana, 110,572 square miles, has not been sufficiently examined to warrant an accurate classification. Approximately, there are 20.000.000 to 30.000.000 acres of forest land; 30.000. 000 to 40,000,000 acres too rough for cultivation, but good for grazing; 500,000 to ( 00,000 acres that may be irrigated, and 17.000. 000 to 25,000.000 acres of ranch lands' susceptible of cultivation by more thorough and better methods of farming. Perhaps the water problem is one of the big obstacles, but this is fast being overcome by the huge irrigation projects that arc being developed, such as the big Huntley project outside of Billings. Billings is a most interesting town. The people are typi- cal. It possesses a fine Elks clubhouse, a Ma- sonic temple, Y. M. C. A. (the only one in Mon- tana), city hall, exceptionally fine schools, good hotels, and numerous business blocks that would do credit to cities twice the size of Billings. The Northern Pacific has erected a beautiful station here, and the Burlington and Great Northern roads send trains through the enterprising town, which is also the proud possessor of a million-dollar sugar plant. An electric street car line is to be installed in the near future. Another town worthy of mention is Missoula. The State University is located here. The town lies nestled at the foot of the mountains in a most picturesque position. A fine stone and steel bridge over the river joins the two parts of the town, the business and residential, and a thriv- ing street railway gives good service. Pros- perity is evident on all sides. Automobiles arc quite numerous, although the population of the town does not exceed 20,000. Butte is a mining SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR '5' town. and. although not so picturesque, is full of business, possessing the richest hill in the world. A trip into the mines is most interesting. I ■could go on indefinitely telling of the wonderful opportunities of this great state, but space will not allow. The last state I shall speak of is perhaps bet- ter known to the average Easterner, and that is Washington. Most people know of the thriv- ing. prosperous cities of Seattle. Tacoma. Spo- kane, and Everett. Here the water power is not surpassed by any state in the Union, and the op- portunities for investment in fruit land is amaz- ing. and carries with it more than reasonable assurance of success. In the Walla Walla coun- try the average yield of wheat rarely falls be- low twenty-five bushels to the acre. Apples of the best quality arc grown in abundance. I at- tended the apple show at Spokane last fall, and I must confess that I was bewildered by the mag- nificent display. There are also opportunities for timber investment in Washington. In eastern Washington European grapes are pro- duced to perfection. Transportation facilities are very good all through the country, and ready markets are found for all products. in the foregoing I have only touched upon the innumerable opportunities, and given only a faint idea of the country which is destined to be- come a haven for men who are willing to com- bine capital with brains and hard work, and thereby make themselves a part of the great de- velopment of a country waiting for them with open arms. tEbe Bbventures of Jackson Dan Ellen By JECujar %.

Wright.” came back in low tones, “throw the blanket over your shoulders like a mantle, and come quickly.” Van Allen did as he was instructed, and soon stood outside the shanty. Wright, still in his mountaineer’s costume, crouched in the shadow of the hut. “Hurry.” he whispered, “my relief comes in a few minutes.” Seizing Van Allen by the arm, he hastened around the corner of the shack. Here they paused while Van Allen threw off his heavy gold-bedecked’ coat and discarded the blanket. Then they turned and ran down the steep slope. For several hundred yards there were no boulders, but beyond there was sufficient shelter for an army. They were only about a hundred feet from this cover when a yell rang out behind them. Their escape had been discovered, doubtless the relieving guard had found the coat and blanket. The pair sprinted for the rocks, and. as they plunged among them, a rifle cracked from the village above. The shot whined menacingly overhead. In a few minutes they could hear the excited voices of the moun- taineers. Then a dark mass appeared from be- hind the shanties. The hill men spread out. and began to run towards the boulders which shel- tered their escaped prisoner and his false guard. The two Americans, as soon as they saw their pursuers’ intentions, crawled as quickly as possi- ble through the tangle of rocks. From time to time shots rang out as some mountaineer fired at a suspicious shadow, but none of the bullets came 152 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR dangerously near the fleeing pair. They hurried forward with no thought of direction. Suddenly Van Allen heard his friend gasp and then seemingly drop from sight. He tried to stop, but stumbled, and pitched forward headlong. The fall was short, luckily, and he found to his amazement that they had fallen to the road which wound down the mountain from the vil- lage. Wright was sitting on the ground with his left leg stretched out before him. He attempted to rise, but fell back with a groan. 'I guess I’ve busted something, Jack,” he whispered. Van Allen stood up. The cries of their pur- suers were growing nearer. He looked around for anything that might hide them. A few rods beyond the road took a sharp turn. He remem- bered that he had noticed a stone hut by the roadside as they had passed up the mountain in the morning. Picking Wright from the ground, he ran towards this shelter as quickly as his burden would permit. As he turned the bend of the road he heard a yell, and. looking around, saw the form of a mountaineer outlined on the embankment over which they had fallen. He quickly dodged into the safety of the turn. He heard the moun- taineer jump to the road, and then the sound of running. He looked cautiously around the curve. The hill man was coming on alone at top speed. Laying Wright carefully down, he re- solved to grapple with this single adversary, and, if possible, obtain his rifle. The speed of the mountaineer soon brought him around the turn. Van Allen threw himself forward, and tackled the runner with the fierceness that had made him famous on the gridiron. The hill-man fell as if hit by a locomotive, and lay motionless. Van Allen quickly shifted his hold to his opponent's wrists, but the form beneath him was still. He quickly picked the rifle from the side of the pros- trate hill-man. and unbuckled his cartridge belt. Then, taking Wright once more in his arms, he rushed to the ruined hut. The walls and roof had long since fallen in, but it afforded some shelter from an attack of the mountaineers. These pursuers had evidently not heard the cry of the fellow Van Allen had laid low, for no more appeared around the bend of the road. Their shouts seemed to be dying away, but Van Allen did not think it wise to ex- pose himself to any chance discovery. In the cast the sky was slowly lighting, and soon the day had fairly broken. Van Allen ven- tured a glance toward his late opponent, and was astonished to sec that the man had disappeared. Probably he had been only stunned by the fall, and had gone to inform his comrades of their hiding place. He raised his head higher, and quickly ducked as a shot whistled not far from his head. “I guess it’s all up now,” he muttered to Wright, who lay propped against the wall. If they rush me I can’t stop it.” Luckily the idea of a concerted attack did not occur to the concealed besiegers, who contented themselves with taking pot-shots at the hut. Van Allen, peering out through a hole between the stones, saw one enterprising fellow stealthily crawling to a position from which he could com- mand the door. Taking aim carefully with his captured rifle, Van Allen fired at the creeping mountaineer, who instantly lay quiet. The miniature bombardment now ceased, and the hill- men were evidently holding a conference. Then, suddenly, they sprang from their ambush and rushed towards the hut. Van Allen fired quickly at the leader, who fell forward gasping. This, however, did not deter the charge of the hill-men. Again he pulled the trigger, but the hammer only clicked mockingly. 'I'lie magazine was empty. Throwing the now useless weapon to the ground, lie siezed the long knife worn by Wright as part of his costume. Throwing himself at the leading mountaineer, he sent him spinning to the grass. The mob of en- raged hill-men bore him down, but as he fell he heard a cheer which could come from no Southern throat. The hill-men jumped to their feet startled. Up the road was charging a body of Ameri- can sailors with the stars and stripes at their head. The white uniforms were soon intermixed with the darker costumes of the hill-men, who were speedily dispersed by this determined assault with hardly a shot being fired. Van Allen and Wright greeted their rescuers warmly, and found that they had been dispatched by Mr. Wright, the American consul, who had arrived at the con- clusion that the two friends had been captured by the mountaineers. The President had readily agreed to allow a landing party from a visiting cruiser to search the mining village, and they had. it seemed, arrived at the critical moment. Wright’s injury was found to be nothing more SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 serious than a painfully severe sprain. The pair were escorted down the mountain by the sailors, and were greeted as heroes by the enthusiastic populace. A few hours later they were again on the veranda. Wright lying in a hammock, his in- jured ankle well bandaged. There is only one point I want you to ex- plain.” said Van Allen, and that is, how you hap- pened to be in the village.” “Well,” answered Wright, after 1 saw that all was safe at the President's villa, I began to search for you. As 1 was. of course, unable to find you, I suspected that something had thrown you into the hands of the mountaineers, and I wasn’t surprised, considering the uniform. So I mixed in with some of the mountaineers who were fleeing from the city, and arrived in the village in another party than that in which you were held. 1 found that my suspicion was cor- rect, so I proceeded to express mv extreme hatred of you and my fear that you might escape.

The rest you know. Ralph,” said Van Allen, seriously, we had a pretty close call up there, but we got out safely. Shake, old man. The two chums solemnly clasped hands, and then the talk turned to other concerns. The next day the chief of police called to advise Van Allen to leave the republic as soon as possible, as the mountaineers were likely to seek re- venge. Mr. Wright also urged his departure, and added that Ralph would accompany him. The consul himself meant to leave as soon as a successor arrived, as he had been offered a higher position in the diplomatic service. Therefore, the two friends left by an early boat, and soon the only souvenir of their adventure was the rifle which Van Allen had captured at the bend in the road.

Through his long service as librarian of the city library, he was well known to young and old. and through his poems was known far and wide. “The Volunteer Organist and “The House by the Side of the Road” arc perhaps the best known of his poems, and were generally requested whenever he read before the public. All who attended the public funeral of Mr. Foss were greatly impressed by the ceremony, especially by Rev. Mr. Maxwell’s eulogy, the closing words of which were: W’e shall ever think of him as a man of great gifts and of great goodness, whom to know was to love, and who made the world richer and better because he lived, and labored, and loved with all his mind, and soul, and strength. Sam Walter Foss was born in Candia, X. II., June lib 1858. During the summers until his fourteenth year he worked on his father’s farm, and during the winters he attended school. He then moved to Portsmouth. X. 11.. where he went to high school, graduating in 1ST?. He spent the next year preparing for college at Tilton Confer- ence Seminary. In 1882 he graduated from Brown University, and was the class poet. After college lie took up newspaper work, contributing many articles and poems to newspapers and magazines. In 1887 Mr. Foss married Miss Carrie M. Co- nant, a daughter of Rev. Henry W. Conant, of Providence, R. I. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Yinal avenue, Somerville, and thence to Highland avenue. The trustees of the Somerville library unanimously elected Mr. Foss librarian in 1898. He has brought the library cir- culation to the second place in New England. Every one can say that the last verse of The House by the Side of the Road” gives a true pic- ture of his character:— “Let me live in a house by the side of the road. Where the race of men go by— They are good, they are bad. they are weak, they are strong. Wise, foolish—so am I. Then why should 1 sit in the scorner’s scat. Or hurl the cynic’s ban? Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man.” K. K r r It is with feelings of pleasure that the Radiator presents to its readers this month a number com- posed largely of contributions from the pens of prominent alumni. The alumni number furnishes the opportunity for the present and past members of both schools to be brought into closer connec- tion, the only regret being that but a few members' can be heard from each year. The staff is most grateful to the graduates who have shown their loyalty by responding so promptly to the call for material for this issue. There is no greater thing of which the Somer- ville High Schools can boast than their alumni. As a conservative estimate we have probably at the present time from two to three thousand living SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 55 graduates of the two schools, a fact of which any school might feel justly proud. Among our for- mer students we number doctors, lawyers, minis- ters, teachers, professors, civil engineers, scientific men, men in public life, and last, but by no means least, a member of the Cabinet of the [’resident of the United States. Postmaster-General Frank 11. Hitchcock. A large number of our graduates have entered colleges or universities, and have made an admirable showing. Others having been graduated from scientific or technical schools, with high honors, have gained recognition in the fields of science and engineering. Perhaps the majority of our alumni are in the commercial world. Many conduct prosperous businesses of their own; others hold important positions in the employ of others. In fact Somerville High School gradu- ates may be found in nearly every walk and station of life. ' The alumni are a great credit to their former schools, and they should not forget that the foun- dation of their success was laid within our gates. With such a shining example before them it is to be expected that the present classes will uphold the previous good record of the alumni after graduation, and continue to demonstrate the value of a high school education. With apologies to the spring poets we venture to add the following :— Students may come, alumni may go; Hut the schools grind on forever. if. The Junior dance and Senior soiree, our two most important social events, occur on April 26 and May 1) respectively at Anthoine Academy. Kindly charge your memory with these dates, gentle reader, and by all means be present at these joyful occasions. The committees for both affairs have already been elected, and are doing all in their power to make these events each successful. Those who are unable to dance may procure scats in the gallery, so that there is little excuse for the absence of any members of the classes concerned. Although these dances interest the whole school, yet they belong distinctly to the upper classmen. Let us urge; therefore, the heartiest co-operation between the individuals of the classes and the com- mittees whom they have selected in order to make these affairs the finest ever. r r. it it l ime goes by leaps and bounds at this period of the year, and before we realize it June will be with us. In short, within some twelve or thirteen odd weeks many of us will take our leap out into the cold, cold world. The best part of the year is yet to come—the various school social events, class exercises, and finally graduation. We should all endeavor to get as much pleasure as possible out of the few re- maining weeks, but by no means should we shirk our duty. Classes come and classes go. The class of 11)11 will leave presently and gradually fade away into the distance. A student's record re- mains behind him. however; therefore each indi- vidual should strive to leave as good a record as possible. IT. If If Last month we inserted a notice in this column asking those who desired positions on next year's Radiato� stafY to notify us soon. As yet there has been no response to this invitation. It is im- portant that the present staff should know who the candidates are to be at once in order that they may receive a fair trial bv competition. The po- sitions must be filled sooner or later. If a student thinks he has more than the average literary or managing ability it is his duty to try out for some one of next year’s positions on the staff imme- diately. 156 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR A A new geometrical proof: They are right angles by observation.

No less than his efficient aid and his generous bringing of the facilities of the li- brary to us. we mourn the loss of his kindly friend- ship—the assurance we felt of his interest when in any difficult research we said: We will ask Mr. Foss.” How plainly we shall always recall his genial smile and stalwart figure as he looked out on the campus from his window in the library or honored with his presence our Ivy exercises, his kindly smile as he listened to the efforts of the class poet and odist, and the twinkle in his eye as he said: There is no danger poetry will perish from the earth while each year promising young poets come forward. We may well be thankful for our high privilege in having known him. The ablest pens of the country have written of Mr. Foss’s talent, worth, and high character: we of the English School beg t add as our offering, Thoreau’s memorable tribute to Emerson, He was a good neighbor.” Xatin, T3 (Continued from page 157.)

Twere folly to attempt to enumerate the honors that Somerville boys have won at Tufts. Scholarships, musical clubs, athletics, literary, and honorary, and secret societies—in all these branches of college activities the fellows are con- tinually foregoing to the front. Brown has the honor of representing the A. B. department on the Commencement platform: Ireland, for the second consecutive year, has been awarded the 1882 scholarship. On the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, which are soon to make a trip to Chicago, are six Somerville boys; Brown. Lamont, and E. Merrill sing in the college choir; Lamont is odist for 19lEs Class Day. In athletics the fol- lowing are wearers of the “T : Football, Captain Ireland. Captain-Elect Merrill, and Hooper; baseball, Knight and Hooper; basket ball. Knight: track. Whitney (manager), R. W. At- water. two-mile record holder and cross-country champion, and II. A. Atwater; tennis. Knight, four times winner of the college championship. The debating clubs contain a good quota of Som- erville men: W. S. Maulsby is on the Tufts Weekly staff and editor-in-chief of the 1911 Ivy Handbook; of the honorary societies. Ireland’, Field. Merrill, and Flint made Sword and Shield: Merrill and W. S. Maulsby, Ivy: a majority of the fellows are affiliated with the fraternities. Last December, mainly through the efforts of Minot Brown, the Tufts-Somerville Club was formed. The sectional club idea is spreading at Tufts. The Tufts-Somerville Club was one of the first to organize, and was the leader in “starting something. On February 8 the club had the pleasure of entertaining about fifty Som- erville High upper classmen. Aided by the college Glee Club and reader, and the presence f several members of the college and High School faculties. The reception was a grand success and did much toward bringing the club members in closer relation with the school. The club is now well on its feet; the dues arc not re- strictive. and nearly every eligible man belongs. The prime motives in the founding of the Tufts- Somerville Club were the advancement of the college and the High School, and the fellows are intending to keep in intimate touch with prospec- tive college material in the graduating classes of the Latin and English Schools. The organiza- tion for the ensuing year is as follows: President. Carrol X. Whitney: vice-president. Erank W. Merrill: secretary. Minot J. Brown; recording secretary. Ralph W. Atwater: treasurer. Allen S. Hooper; executive committee, the officers and Richard R. Lamont. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 165 Ibarvaib Botes t . O. 5 0£le, %. Rufus S.

'12 The Institute of Technology every year receives a number of Somerville boys into its midst, and, as a rule, on account of the efficient training given them at the High School, they are enabled to complete their four years at Tech, and to graduate with distinction. Many of them also enter into the various activities connected with social life of the institute, and thus become an important factor in the carrying on of the same, without which the institute would indeed be a rather dreary place. Some are fortunate enough to be able to join fra- ternities and clubs, which make up in a great measure for the lack of college life, which must in- evitably follow from the unfortunate position of the institute in the centre of such a large city as Boston. Harold E. Babbitt is the only Somerville boy in the Senior class. Richard Fernandez, who gradu- ated last year, has been until recently at the in- stitute as an assistant instructor. He has just ac- cepted the professorship of chemistry in the Im- perial College at Tien-Tsin, China. In the Junior class. Harold Eric K ebb on is editor-in-chief of Technique, the Tech annual. During his Freshman and Sophomore years he played on his class football teams, and was a prin- cipal in the Tech show both years. He is a mem- ber of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, T. N. E., Round Table, Masque, and Hammer and Tongs. Leroy Fitzherbert, also a Junior, played on his class football team, and was in the Tech show last year. Rupen Eksergian is leader of the Tech or- chestra. The other Juniors are Archibald V. Laurie. W illiam R. (Hidden, and Madison Christie. Percy Green Whitman is a Sophomore, and played on his class football team two years. He was also in the show last year, sings in the Glee Club, and is assistant business manager of the Tech, the daily paper. He belongs to the Phi Gamma Delta and T. X. E. Lester C. Gustin. another Sophomore, played on his class football team two years. Although it means an immense amount of hard work, yet the institute is a fine place to fit a man properly for a successful and happy career in life, and may the Somerville boys keep up a good record at Technology. Somerville Bo s at Dartmouth Gabriel jfarrell, 3r., X., ’06 The list of Somerville students at Dartmouth College is smaller than it has been for many years, and appears to be on the decline, for there is now no Somerville boy in the Freshman class. The Sophomore class boasts of but one, Walter H. Xolan, who is a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, and is a candidate for the varsity baseball team. The Junior roll shows four from the local high schools. They are R. L. Xewton. J. H. Phelps, Xat P. Rice, who went to Andover for a year after leaving the Latin School, and Mark E. Allen. Allen is a member of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, and is a candidate for the 'varsity baseball team. He won his nu- merals on the class team. Somerville has two representatives in the Senior class. Ralph E. Whitman is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, and is manager of the golf team.

I do wish I had another lay before my column were due.” Silence reigned in the room, broken at last by the cuckoo calling the hour -of eleven. The girl lifted her head and rubbed her eyes, staring un- believingly at the clock. Mercy! but Eve been asleep! How I wish some good fairy would come and write my column so I could sleep! Well, it’s got to be down to- night. so I will get at it.” She gathered her papers and magazines together and sat down again at her desk. For a few mo- ments she sleepily drew pictures on her pad, and wished she were in bed. Then, in a very precise hand, she wrote at the top of the paper: Ex- change Notes. She stared at this for a few mo- ments. put a period carefully after the title, and then made a line below it. Resolutely she took up her pen again and began writing her notes. “The Magnet (Leominster. Mass.,) we were glad to see you, and cordially invite you to come again. You have a well-arranged paper, and it shows that a great amount of time and thought has been put •on it. The Megunticook (Camden, Me.), we are glad to see you. too. and we also invite you to come again. Instead of having such a long list of ex- changes in your column, why not have more criti- cisms? The Mirror (Waltham) is not up to its usual •standard, but we understand that some months arc better than others. ‘The Real Game' is a good story. It is short, well written, and interesting. The Minerva (South Royalton. Yt.) is one of the best exchanges we have received this month. Every bit of it is excellent, and the pupils of South Royalton High should be very proud of it. The Artisan (Mechanic Arts) is another good paper, and we are always glad to see it. The Radiator always likes to receive a new exchange, and we place the Reveille (Northfield.

'The continued story is good, and isn’t as amateurish as are most continued stories run in school maga- zines. There is a good editorial on ‘The Wills, the Won’ts, and the Can’ts’ in the Pinkerton Critic. It is one of the best we have read this year. “‘The Key-Note in the Coburn Clarion, is a good story. It is exceedingly well written, and is far above the average school magazine story. We wonder if the exchange editor understands that the Radiator is printed by two schools, the Eng- lish and the Latin? From what was written, we gathered that it was not so understood. We find that the Pine Cone is still printed on a poor quality of paper, and we would welcome a change. Can’t you find other subjects for a story beside that hackneved one of ‘Adventures of a Pin’? The Jabberwock was all good this month. The editorial was excellent, and all the stories were worth reading. The cuckoo again called out to the exchange editor, and she laid down her pen with a sigh of relief. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 169 ATHLETICS Htblettc Chat The hockey season is over, and while it has not been a particularly successful one, it has not been as bad as previous ones. The weather did not hold good long enough to secure enough practice, and many scheduled games were canceled on this account. W ithout a coach it is almost impossible to pick a team and select the best material. While the candidates promise all sorts of good things in the way of training, they do pretty much as they please, and the game suffers. An athletic instructor in a large Canadian university said: “To play hockey a man must train spring, sum- mer, and fall: then when winter comes he will be in condition.” If this is the way they look at it in Canada, where hockey supplants baseball, surely high school players should train during the play- ing season. Although the record of the team might be much better, it might also be much worse. 11 is:— Number of games played................... 14 Number of games won....................... 8 Number of games lost.....................

Captain Williams, Norton, Parks, and Milmore will be back, and of last year's substitutes. Laurie, Dickson, and Knox are still in school. A few weeks of clear, sunny weather, and the team will be on the diamond. Somerville has more league games this year than any before. The team can- not win without good support. At least attend every league game at home, and heartily support the team. ---- .� ■ «.� � ...� ■.------------ Somerville, 4; fliMlton ftfob'o Somerville defeated Milton High on Washing- ton's Birthday, 4-0, at the Cunningham rink. East Milton. Somerville had the better of Milton at all stages of the game, our defense being excellent, and our offense showing great team work and speed. Three goals were caged during the first period, and one in the second. The Milton for- wards were unable to carry the puck into danger- ous territory, and were unable to prevent the visi- tors from scoring. No Somerville man excelled,, all playing a steady, winning game. Lor Milton,. Pond. Sears, and Emerson did the best work.. Sears doing excellent in goal. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. MILTON.

Whittaker played his usual slashing game for the winners, and was well supported by Dickson, Laurie, and Townshend. Captain Baker, of Cam- bridge Latin, and Davis played best for the losers. The Somerville defense was impregnable, nothing dangerous getting past Hamilton, who did very good work. All shots at goal were easily stopped by Donahue. Wells, the goal for the visitors, prevented the score becoming larger by stopping many shots, most of them hard and low. The summary:— SOMERVILLE. CAMBRIDGE LATIN. Dickson, f......................f..

The ice was in poor condition, soft, slow, and heavy, tending to make passing difficult, and slowing up the skating. Inside of six seconds Fritz, of Rindge, secured the puck on the face-off, rushed down the ice, and scored a goal. The first half closed with the score 2-0, in favor of Rindge. During the first fifteen minutes of the second half Rindge scored only one goal, but in the last five she made three on a sudden rush full of great team work. Fritz was all over the rink and everywhere at once. Ham- ilton and Donahue did good work stopping many difficult shots, but were unable to turn aside all, and three goals were scored.

WEBSTER looked thoughtfully across the table at her husband, who was breaking his toast into small pieces. “Harry,” she began. “Yes. my dear.” Do you mean that you wish me to invite to my week-end party a woman whom you and John Latimer suspect of committing those robberies which have startled all Xew York? Do you mean that. Harry? “1 do, Helen. I know how distasteful it is to you, but. Helen, think what it means to Latimer and me! All you have to do is to invite her, and the rest is in Latimer’s and my hands. 1 believe you have invited the Jacksons, the Wests, the .Langtrys. and some others, haven’t you?” “I haven't as yet asked any one.” “Well. Webster answered impatiently, you are going to. then.” Yes. I am. Webster pushed his chair away from the table and arose. Just mention those people in your invitation, and that will bring her. I know. Anne Leslie is no fool. She will know what a big haul she can make. I’m sorry to have to ask you. Helen, but, as 1 said, it means a lot to Latimer and me. Good-by, dear. I'll be home early.” Helen walked to the door with her husband, and then went to the library window to wave to him just before he turned the corner. As she turned from the window, she saw the invitations for her week-end party which she had already written the night before. Slowly she took up her pen. and after a moment's hesitation she wrote to Anne Leslie:— Hazclluirst, February 10. 1!)—. “Mv dear Miss Leslie: I am giving a small 'house party here at Hazelhurst over the week- end. and I should like to have you one of us. if your engagements permit. Mr. and Mrs. West, the Jacksons, the Langtrys. Marion Miller. Ruth and Murray Keys. Billy Noyes, and John Latimer will make up the party. It is beautiful here now. in spite of the cold, and do come if you possibly can. Sincerely. Helen A. Webster. Mercy! but I hated to write that ‘sincerely’! I do wish Harry had not asked me. Still, he does so much for me, I ought to do anything without murmuring. and she put the invitations in the mailbag. Just as she dropped the last one in. the door opened quietly and John Latimer came in. Good morning, Helen. Has Web gone? I dropped in to ride down with him, but I see I’m too late.” Yes. he’s gone. I’m sorry you missed him. By the way. John, I’ve just finished writing my in- vitations for the week-end. I was too lazy to write yours, so I ask you now. Of course you knew you were to be asked, anyway. I have writ- ten to Anne Leslie, too, John. Have you ever met her? No. I never have, although I’ve seen her often. Well. I’ll journey along. Good-by” ❖ ' Thursday’s morning mail brought several an- swers to Helen’s invitations, and among them was Anne Leslie's acceptance. Helen immediately called up her husband and told him. Now you will get her, I know. Harry. she said. Yes. indeed, dear. Don't think anything more of it. please, until Saturday.” I'll try not to.” Helen answered, “but. Harry, I feel sorry for her. and mean that I should lead her into a trap. It’s—it’s not the kind of thing I like. Harry.” T know it isn’t, but, Helen, she deserves all she will get. Don't worry about it. Helen sighed and rang off. She didn’t like it. and she half wished slic’d never said she would help him. Saturday came all too soon, and as the time drew near for the guests’ arrival. Helen grew more and more nervous. She did not allow her feelings to gain control of her. however, and as she met the first arrivals she was outwardly her- self. Anne Leslie was the last of all the guests to SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR «77 arrive, so no one, with the exception of Helen, saw her until dinner. Did you hear the latest scare? asked Mrs. Jackson, as they were all seated at dinner. I haven’t, no,” replied Helen. What is it?” Why, Mrs. Lovejoy gave a large reception last night, you know. By the way. why weren’t you there, Helen? Headache? Too bad! Well, anyway, when it was all over her famous rubies were gone, and this morning Miss Sinclair re- ported the loss of her beautiful diamond bracelet. Do you know. 1 think it’s disgraceful the way this thing is allowed to go on. It certainly is. answered John Latimer. I can’t sec how a person could do it.” Xor I, agreed Miss Miller. Latimer turned to Miss Leslie, who was his dinner partner, and asked: What do you think of it?” I think you have voiced the opinion of us all, Mr. Latimer. It is certainly nerve-racking for us. I lost a bracelet a short time ago. 1 did not report it because it wasn’t of much value, but I thought a great deal of it. She sat back suddenly, a little frown on her face. She closed her eyes for a moment, looking so tired that Latimer said: Your journey has tired you. Miss Leslie. She opened her eyes and looked at him. It seemed for a moment as if she were trying to read his mind. Her hands clenched in her lap, and her whole figure seemed to stiffen, but after a brief space she relaxed, and replied: Yes, it did, and then, too, so many dinners have wearied me. I am going away soon to rest up. Latimer smiled to himself as he thought how vastly different was the place she would rest up in from the place she expected to visit. Dinner was soon over, and afterward the party drifted away to the card room, but Anne Leslie stayed in tile library by the open fire, and after a time Latimer joined her. Resting?” he asked, as he paused by her chair. “Yes. Sit down and rest, too, she answered. They were both very silent for a while. The woman sat with her eyes closed, her head resting against the wing of her chair. Latimer sat with his face in the shadow, and closely scrutinized the tired face before him. I was thinking of that person who has stolen so much. Miss Leslie said suddenly, opening her eyes and looking at him. It’s a baffling case. You know W ebster and L are working secretly on it. “You are? Have you found out much con- cerning this person? she asked, without showing the least alarm. ' Quite a lot. A man must have sunk pretty low to do it,, mustn’t he?” she said slowly, watching the flames, in the fire. It isn’t a man; it’s a woman. A woman? How dreadful!” and Miss Leslie sat up straight in her chair. Yes, it is. A woman seems so out of place in a business like that. Latimer replied, watching the end of his cigarette burn. Yes. indeed. Hut,” and she hesitated a bit, but maybe she’s been driven to it.” She must be weak. She could use her clever- ness in a good, honest way. She is clever, he added with a laugh. Miss Leslie.sat with her hand shielding her fact-,, but Latimer could see the childish droop to her mouth. Suddenly she shivered and sat up, with her head thrown back almost defiantly. Then she sank back. Suppose, Mr. Latimer. she said very low, she- were a woman who had had every luxury in her life, and then without warning everything were to go. Suppose she struggled honestly, but fin- ally became discouraged and yielded to tempta- tion. What would you think of her? Would you pity her? Pity her. yOs: but be lenient with her. never. But it's foolish to think of her this way. She’s probably a hardened woman, with a long record behind her. and her picture adorning the walls of the Rogues' Gallery. Come, let us join the rest and forget her. and Latimer arose. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then she resolutely threw aside her morbid feeling, and became the life of the party. All the following- day she was full of fun. but towards night she grew strangely quiet, and. pleading a headache, she went up to her room. Latimer grew restless as twilight came, and when Webster called him into the library, he was decidedly nervous. John, this is the time. Helen’s maid just- brought me word that some things are missing. Miss Leslie is probable packing now, and we must work fast. She will probably have a telegram come for her soon, and you take it up to her. Quietly arrest her, and I will ’phone Cheney to� i;S SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR send up the men. There goes the bell now. You answer it before the maid does. ' Latimer went out, opened the door, and took in a telegram for Miss Leslie. Slowly he mounted the stairs, and as he reached her door he heard Webster give Cheney s number. Without any more hesitation he knocked, and immediately Miss Leslie opened the door. “A telegram for you. he said briefly. “Thank you. I wonder who it can be from? Let me see, and she read it quickly. While she was reading it. Latimer stepped in and closed the door. When she held out the tele- gram with a pitiful little cry. he shook his head. “Your game is up, Miss Leslie. Don’t act any longer, please. Mr. W ebster is telephoning now for Cheney’s men to come after you.” She looked up at him, her face grown white. “So you knew all along. she began. “I did. 1 understand now the reason for this party. No. but the reason for your invitation to it. however. Where did you put the things you took? Slowly she turned away, and almost at once brought it all back to him. She was not fright- ened. but almost glad, she said. She looked so frail and tired as she stood before him. with her hands full of sparkling stones, that Latimer felt suddenly sorry for her. It flashed through his mind where she was going and how dreadful it all was. “Miss Leslie, was that true what you told me last night? “About that supposed woman? Yes, it was. How long shall 1 have to wait? Latimer did not answer at once, but stood look- ing down at her. Then suddenly he straightened, and after taking away the jewelry from her. he said: “Put on your hat and coat, and hurry. She obeyed him, and followed without a ques- tion downstairs to the side door. The man paused. “Have you anv monev? he asked. “Yes. Just outside the side gate is my automobile, (let in. and it will take you to Xew York. Hurry, now. for I hear the others coming. Almost roughly he pushed her through the door, and watched her run down the steps and dis- appear into the darkness. In another moment he heard the car as it went off. and he turned with a queer look in his eyes to face the people as they came in. W here is she? demanded Webster. “Gone. “Gone! they all cried. Yes. She escaped me, Latimer said briefly. Webster stared at him in disgust. Then he stepped forward and opened the door through which Anne Leslie had gone. I think, lie said slowly and distinctly, “you had better go after the other scoundrel, for scoun- drel she was to play on your feelings, and scoundrel you are to betray a friend’s trust in you. Silently and with head bent. John Latimer went out from the house which had been so like his own. out through the side gate to his own home. H Dating Xeap By? artbur LCL Xeiflbton, i£.. u EW miles distant from the city of Brownton, one may see the black- ened remains of a once huge ice house. It is scarcely a year since this building was destroyed, and it seems as yesterday to the man who is most concerned in this story. The ice house, which was eighty by ninety feet, ■with a capacity of 3,500 tons, was one of a chain of such structures in the towns about Prownton. owned by the Prownton Ice and Coal Company. It is the custom of this company to cut their ice about the last of the month of January, if the weather conditions arc suitable. Therefore one morning about the middle of January the superin- tendent sent Thomas Jones, an employee, to this particular ice house to look over and repair the runs and roof of the house, in preparation for the annual filling of the building. Jones, although a trusted worker of the com- pany. was an inveterate smoker, and was also so unfortunate as to be almost totally deaf. The SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 79 following is the account of his adventure as I heard it from his own lips last summer:— 1 reached the house about 8 o'clock and began work. There was considerable repairing to be done on the runs and staging, and I worked until noon on this part of the job. After eating my lunch in a barn close by. I rested a few minutes, and then climbed up the lad- ders to the roof of the house some sixty feet above the ground. 1 looked about the roof, saw there was only a little repairing to be done, and sat down on the sunny side of the roof to rest. There was only a little snow upon the ground, and the roof was entirely bare. Taking out my good friend, my pipe, 1 lit it. and threw the match down the ventilating shaft in the middle of the roof. I watched the match as it slowly glided down to the bottom of the house, empty except for some big piles of straw which had been used to cover the ice last season. 1 looked lazily around the roof. There certainly was a pretty view. On one side of me was a frozen pond, on the other a farmhouse: and almost at the foot of the ice house, on one side, a big stack of hay in the field stored up for winter use by the farmer in whose barn 1 had eaten my lunch. The sun became covered by clouds, and, feel- ing chilly. I got up and started in to work, turning my back to the ventilator and the east side from which I had climbed up. Suddenly a dull crash came to me through mv almost soundless ears. It had been a warm day. and I concluded that the ice breaking up in the pond had been responsible for the crash. I turned about and looked at the pond, but the ice seemed whole. All at once a whiff of smoke came to my nostrils. Facing about sharply. I saw a sight which froze my blood. Coming up through the ventilating shaft was a dark column of smoke. That match which I had so carelessly thrown away had set fire to the ice house! Zaw TUpsilon £ clta dramatics The Tan Upsilon Delta Fraternity of the Eng- lish and Latin Schools will present on April 27 and 28 an original three-act musical comedy. “How.” The book and lyrics are written by Tenney L. Davis, and the music by Otis Mason. I he play is under the direction of Leon Dadnnm. The cast is made up principally of school members, in- cluding Raymond Baxter, Frank Fallis, alter I rushed to the east side of the building to de- scend. I looked down, and my heart stood still again. Not a sign of a ladder or staging was left. Leaping, fiery tongues of flame met my eyes.. That crash which I had heard had been the fall of the burnt ladders. My only hope of escape was. cut off. I ran from one side to another of the roof, trying to think of some way to save myself. In desperation I looked down at the ground. It was clearly certain death to jump sixty feet to the frozen earth. But it was that or be burned to death on the roof. The fire became hotter: the flames leaped up through the ventilator; and it was only a few minutes before the building must collapse. Sud- denly an idea came to me. I remembered the haystack I had seen in the field. Running to the west side. I looked down. It seemed as if it might be possible to jump from the roof into the pile of hay. How simple it looked, yet a miscalculation- meant certain death! I stood hesitating. Xever had I been more frightened. It was no use; I must perish in the flames; I could not nerve myself to try the jump. The boards under my feet became warm, and im- beds were being blistered by the heat. Then a great cloud of smoke swept over me, and I in- haled some of the stilling gas. I think I must have become crazy for the time being, otherwise- I would not have lived to tell the tale. Scarcely knowing what I did, I rushed to the edge, looked downward at the haystack, and leaped into space. The next thing I knew I felt something warm underneath me. and something else pulling me away. Weakly opening my eyes, I found mvself in the arms of the farmer from the neighboring farmhouse. He had pulled me from the haycock just as it caught fire. I stayed in bed a couple- of weeks, and haven’t quite got over the shock yet. That fire taught me one thing, never to. throw away matches carelessly.” Duncan. William Parks. Andreas Tomfohrde. Carl' Pitman. C. Xestor Holmes, John Laurie, and Earle Dixon. X. fb Z. 'Ilie L. II.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 180 XEbe flbystcrv of tbc Steers Bg Dasel V. IPads, 'll HERE was a puzzled expression on Mr. Abbott's face as he sat in his large library, which also served as his office. Kor several days each morning, when the steers in his new cattle-pen had been counted, from two to six had been missing. All efforts to solve the mystery had been in vain. The dogs could not possibly have got into the pen. and how could a large animal like a steer get out? “Certainly I •couldn’t have a more trusted and reliable man- ager than Ted Lester. he said. Just then a knock sounded at the door, and a tall, well-built fellow of about twenty-four or five years entered. Mis features, bronzed by the weather, and glowing with the vigor of young manhood, were strong and regular, and his ex- pression was frank and open. “Well, Ted. how is everything this morning? asked Mr. Abbott. “I have just come from the pen. sir. and three more steers are missing. I was there just before sunrise, and counted them, and everything was all Tight. “How do the men take it? Can they know anything about it? ' I have questioned them closely, and they are as much puzzled as we are. Mr. Abbott. I can’t understand what this mystery means. I'd give a year’s wages to be able to solve it. “Well. Ted. of course I don’t blame you, but please try to be a little more vigilant. If you can. it will mean money in my pocket, as you know. Good morning. A few hours later, as Mr. Abbott sat down to dinner, his daughter Blanche. seeing his worried look, questioned him about the steers. Three more fine ones disappeared last night, and we’re no nearer unraveling the mystery than we were several days ago, he said. “But hasn't Ted any idea? asked the girl, flushing a little. “He is as much in the dark as T am. To- morrow the whole herd will be shipped to Chi- cago, and before a new lot comes in we may find the trouble. answered the girl's father, as he pro- ceeded with his dinner. Mr. Abbott, a wealthy ranch owner, and his pretty daughter Blanche lived on a large ranch in South Dakota. He owned great herds of cattle and many hundred acres of land. His manager. Ted Lester, had as fine a lot of cowboys as could be found in the West. Blanche’s mother had died when she was a small child, and she had been brought up by her father. She could ride and shoot as well as any man on the ranch, and because of her winning manner and gentle nature, she had won her wa into the hearts of all the cowboys. When she had gone away to college five years before, it seined as if the sun had gone and suddenly left them in darkness. When she returned a year ago. older in her ways, but as attractive and win- some as ever, she was welcomed with the same true loyalty by them all. A firm friendship had sprung up between her and her father's young manager, which was fast becoming more than friendship. After his conversation with Mr. Abbott, fed went out to the pen and examined it closely. It was a large enclosure, fenced in with a high stockade. In the middle was a little pond. Here and there about it were large boulders, and at one side grew a tree, its branches overhanging the water. The young manager examined the stockade closely, both inside and out. There was no gap anywhere. He himself fastened the big gates even night and opened them every morning. There seemed no possible way for the cattle to gel out. Mr. Abbott says he doesn’t blame me. but still he can’t help but think that I am incapable. And what can Blanche think? If I am not able to pro- tect her father’s property, how-------’’ The sen- tence remained unfinished, as if Ted’s thought were impossible. The western moon cast its pale light over the prairie. The sleek, shiny hides of the Texan steers shone in the moonlight, and their branching horns gleamed wickedly. Ted Lester lay stretched at full length in a ham- mock in a corner of the pen, smoking his pipe, and gazing dreamily across the prairie to the dis- tant foothills, bathed in the soft glow of the moon- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR I8f light. On the little pond, rutiled by the soft west wind, danced a million moonbeams, glistening like diamonds. The soft chirp of the crickets, the harsh voices of the frogs, the distant call of the night owl to his mate, and the almost deathly still- ness of the scene all had their effect upon Ted. Before he knew it he had fallen asleep. At an upper window of the house, overlooking the pen, all unknown to Ted, sat Mr. Abbott. Long and patiently he waited, but not in vain. The clock struck ten. eleven, twelve, one. Each time he counted. At last he lost count. But what was that? In a group near one cor- ner of the stockade the cattle were stirring. Slowly four of them stretched themselves, arose, and walked over to the edge of the pond. When they came to the edge, they stopped to drink, and then waded in farther. As they went out toward the centre, they began to struggle. They pushed one another, their horns clashed, and they endeav- ored wildly and vainly to regain the shore. Two steers were drawn down into the water. Mr. Abbott stared in amazement. As soon as he could, he dashed out of the room, down the stairs, two steps at a time, and out to the pen. Unlocking the huge gate, he rushed in and ran toward the pond. Quickly climbing into the tree on its edge, he carefully crawled out on a limb overhanging the water, just in time to see the water close over the tips of the horns of the last steer. The mystery was solved,—quicksands. As he started to crawl back, his hand slipped and he lost his balance. Vainly he tried to catch himself. He landed in the pond on his feet, but as he tried to gain the shore, he felt himself being slowly sucked down. With every movement the treacherous sand strengthened its relentless grasp upon him. His cries of “Help! help! startled Ted from his doze. He sprang up. Mr. Abbott’s voice calling for help! What had happened? He looked toward the pond. There was a man’s fprm in the middle, sinking deeper and deeper each moment. He ran to the tree. Quickly climbing into it. he crawled out on the limb over the pond, and hanging head downward, by main strength pulled up the man. who was by this time nearly exhausted. “Crawl over me, Mr. Abbott,” he gasped. “I can hang on a little longer.” Mr. Ab- bott crawled over him, and then helped him to re- gain his equilibrium. When they descended from the tree, Mr. Abbott, wet and shivering, his face deathly pale in the moonlight, grasped the man- ager's hand. “Ted,” he said. 1 realize how near I was to a terrible death. I owe you a debt of gratitude which 1 can never repay.” “Don’t say that. Mr. Abbott. The mystery is solved, but who would ever have imagined that horrrible death-trap there? But----” But what. Ted?” Blanche.” stammered the cowboy. Ah! I understand, said Mr. Abbott, smiling; Go ahead, boy. win her if you can. I shall be proud to have you as my son-in-law.” But, Mr. Abbott. 1 am only a cowboy, her father’s manager.” And worthy of a princess. Ted.” When Ted came back from Chicago to claim: his happy bride, the pond was fenced in. H flltan Hmong flfocn B Bernice IE. Scott, IE., ’ll OBERTS sank down wearily on a bench in the park. The raw Febru- ary wind penetrated his thin, ragged coat. He shivered and drew it more closely about him. The last month seemed like some awful dream. A month ago the prison doors had opened to let him out. During the five years he had spent in prison, he had waited for the day when he should be free, when he s lion Id be once more a man among men. Full of good resolutions, he had gone forth to find a position. But on all sides he had met with disappointments. He had no recommendations,, and man after man turned him away with a sus- picious frown and a curt refusal. What was there left for him now? Would he go home? Xo, he was too proud for that. He thought of the sacrifices which his father and mother had made that he. their only son. might go to college. Those years in the large city univer- sity had been the opening of a new life to him. who had gone there as a raw country boy. Then came the disgrace which caused him to leave college just before the completion of his 82 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR fourth year. If he only had been less proud then and gone home. But lie had stayed in the city and sunk lower and lower. A year later he had entered that gloomy prison to serve a five-years' sentence on the charge of breaking and entering. He clinched his hands passionately. Xo, lie would never go home unless he went as a suc- cessful man. But he never could do that, so why not end all his misery now? lie staggered to his feet. The cold wind swept across the park. He was weak from hunger, but he gritted his teeth and moved toward the busy street. At the corner he stopped a moment. Things looked blurred and indistinct. Then his sight •cleared. He started across the street. A taxicab, darting in and out among the other automobiles, came speeding down the street. It was almost in front of him. when he saw a child dart out from behind him and rush across the street directly in its pathway. Instinctively he leaped forward and seized the child. Then things became blurred again, and he remembered •nothing more. He opened his eyes and looked about him. He was in a narrow, white bed. The sun was stream- ing in through a large window at one side of the room. Two nurses were standing at the foot of the bed talking in low tones. He looked wonder- ingly at them. This was far different from his prison cell. Where was he? Suddenly it all came back to him.—his release, then his discouragement, then the little child rush- ing in front of the automobile. lie tried to sit up. but he could not even move jiis head. One of the nurses hurried forward and bent over him. He managed to whisper: “Was lie saved? She seemed to understand, for she nodded with a bright smile. Then she told him to go to sleep. Although he felt rather rebellious and had not the slightest intention of obeying, his eyelids slowly closed and he fell asleep. lie looked like a different man as lie left the hospital one bright April day. Hope whispered to him. and the world looked bright before him. Through the efforts of the father of the child he had saved that day. a promising position on one of the daily papers was his. Xo wonder, as he passed through the park and by the same bench, the past seemed like a dream and only the future real. He lifted his head proudly as he passed on. lie was once more a man among men. It was late in the afternoon of a warm August day. An old carriage creaked up the dusty road. An old farmer was driving. Beside him sat a tall., straight man with a pleasant, frank face. Every few minutes the old man turned to look at his companion with loving eyes. Just as the sun was setting, the two men. talk- ing and laughing, drew up in front of a little white farmhouse. Before the younger of the two men had barely time to get out of the carriage, a little old lady with white hair and shining eyes rushed down the path and threw her arms around him. Arm in arm. Roberts and his mother walked up the path toward the wide-open door. The old man watched them go. Then he turned and slyly wiped his shirt sleeve across his eyes. He looked toward the sun setting in a bank of violet clouds, and murmured a prayer of thanksgiving. Man tCong JSv? Xccmarfc S.

Turning in his chair, lie spoke to a young officer SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR of about twenty years who was writing a report at the next desk. Parker, take twenty men and follow River road as far as Long John’s cabin, and there take orders from Xo. 3. And Fred,” he added in a more familiar tone, “it’s Wan Tong again.” The young fellow stood as if dazed a moment, then saluted, and turning, ran swiftly to the bar- racks and ran in, his whole being aroused to action by the last words of the operator— Wan Tong ’ “Twenty men for snappy work!” he cried, and every man of the sixty in the room sprang to his feet. The young officer picked his twenty and soon they were galloping down the River road. Young Parker’s lieutenant, Ericson. was soon plying him with questions as to the object of this sudden call. I know absolutely nothing of the cause for the call. I was ordered to ride immediately to Long John’s cabin and take further orders from Xo. 3.” Ericson rode back, and satisfied the queries of the rest of the men in a manner known only to the Dane himself, for what other man could have sat- isfied the curiosity of a band of rough M. P.’s on such a slim stock of information only Ericson and his satanic majesty know, for Ericson himself admits that the former is his aid at all such times as these. Can you give me no clue, Parker?” he asked as they neared the cabin, situated at the base of the Ranton mountain. Come nearer. said the captain. Ericson urged his mount close, and then Parker bent and whispered in his ear: “Wan Tong. What!” Ericson’s exclamation was so sharp that his steed sprang forward in fright. As they rode up to the cabin. Ericson’s mutter- ings had ceased, and there was a look of grim determination on his face. The door of the cabin opened, and a man stepped out. lie was tall and thin, straight as an arrow, with a great shock of red hair topping his sharp and homely features. He carried himself as if his limbs were loosely hung together and at the least shock might fall apart. Long John had for years been a trusted ally of the second and third divisions of the Canadian Mounted Police, and had at several different times been of great service to them, at one time showing his tact in capturing Edward Sonbin, the mur- derer, and thus bringing great credit to the Third 1 3 Division C. M. P.’s for whom he had been working. As Long John stepped out of the cabin. Parker, happening to turn his head in the direction of his lieutenant, Ericson, saw an expression of distrust flash for an instant over the features of that indi- vidual. but immediately upon being questioned by his captain, he replied with a smile: Oh, twas- nothin’, captain. I was just a-thinkin’. Without a word Long John turned, shifted his rifle to his left hand, and started on a trot down the road, then after a time he veered sharply to the left and brought the party into a deep ravine. As soon as they were in the shelter of the high cliffs on either side, the cowpuncher turned with the sharp command: “Dismount!” In an instant every man was on the ground, with the reins in his hand. Put your mounts in that bunch of trees yonder, and then follow me. said the cowpuncher. In a few moments the twenty men. with Parker at their head, were trotting along the path which led be- tween the cliffs. The path verged to the right up the side of the cliff, and came out upon a rather wide road along the edge. The border of the- ravine at the top of the cliff was lined with a thick fringe of bushes about ten feet in height. Long John directed the squad of men to lie down behind these and hold their rifles in readiness for use. Some of the men, as soon as they were settled in their places, began to mutter of the “sense in coinin’ way out here to lay in th’ sun and swelter.” Long John turned on them, and said sharply: Whose limnin' this shebang, anyhow? You shut: your mouths, and don’t speak unless spoken: to. Again Parker saw that look of distrust flash across the face of his lieutenant, and he himself had a feeling, he knew not why. that everything was not just as it should be. It was getting decidedly monotonous lying there behind the ridge of bushes in idleness. It had been over half an hour since they had taken their places. They had for a time kept their eyes glued on the opposite cliff, but no one had passed along it except a lone cowboy on horseback. When Long John saw him. he started forward and half lifted his rifle as if to fire, but lowered it again and watched the rider intently until he was out of sight. Since then Long John’s face had worn a SOMERVILLK HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 184 troubled expression, and lie had been sitting with his head in his hands. Now he started suddenly and looked up at the sun. then glanced at the men. They were lying in a half doze, oblivious to all that went on about them, while Parker, their young captain, was fast asleep. Long John turned, and slipped quietly away from the men down the path in the cliff, where he quickened his walk to a run. and into the patch of woods where the horses were tethered. The mounts were standing with heads down, cropping the short growth at the foot of the trees, and he quickly slipped from one to another until he had loosed the entire drove. He then drove them through the ravine into the road, and started them in a gallop up the Ravine road leading from the barracks.

'- -I there the lights from the halls of the college gleamed and permeated into the fog-filled air like numerous rows of phos- phorescent dots. Ileneath one of the lights stood a group of fellows who were talking over the subject f hazing. Stoughton, the leader of the crowd, thought for a while, then said: What do you say if we haze Graham to-night? ‘Stubs’ there’s got a grudge against him. Go over and dig Harmon out of bed. then get Hal and Davis, and meet us in front of the freshman building. Tell ’em I’ve got the things.” One of the group disappeared in the darkness, while Stoughton and two other sophomores moved slowly toward the nearest hall. When they got there they waited, and were soon joined by four more. S’pose lie’s wise? muttered Davis. No!” exclaimed Harmon. “We’ll have some fun to-night. I’ll give him my special—the circus stunt. Kh. Hal? Stoughton chose three of the crowd, and they entered the building. Slowly and quietly they tip-toed to Graham’s room, and Stoughton rapped softly on the door. Without waiting for an an- swer. he opened it and entered. The room was not lighted, but Stoughton discovered the wanted freshman lounging in a beautiful plush armchair “before a briskly-burning fire, which cast a beau- tiful reddish glow about the room. Stoughton touched him on the shoulder, saying: “Conte with me.” He rose, a little bit surprised, and «aid: It you’ll kindly wait a moment. I’ll put on my shoes,” and. without waiting for an answer, put them on. then followed Stoughton and the others from the building. Outside they warned him not to try to escape, and then, joining those who had remained outside, hastened him to a secluded spot in the rear of the building. Here Hal produced a bottle of ink. and’ proceeded to cover the victim's face with it. Then a clown’s suit was brought forth and put on the freshman. His tormentors could barely see him. but a little giggle of joy escaped them, which broke into a laugh as Harmon tied to Graham’s arms two pink ribbons, which were made to serve as reins. Stoughton then drove him toward the main square of the town, the others following at a rapid trot. They soon reached the square, and. to the intense delight of a large crowd, helped the captive to stand on his head, and then made him sing popular songs. After that he was taught to say the Mother Goose melodies backwards. Stoughton did not believe in carrying the thing too far. so he and the other hazers escorted the hazed freshman back to his room. As they were about to depart. Graham said: “Don’t you fellows want to wait a while? I’ve got a trunk full of goodies here.” After a moment’s hesitation, Stoughton sheepishly muttered: All right. and they sat down. First Graham proceeded to eliminate all signs of his adventure. It was not an easy job to re- move the ink. but an energetic and liberal quan- tity of water and soap was applied, till he began to look white again. Then Stoughton, who had been gazing admiringly around the room, centred his view on a pair of crossed flags emblazoned by fContinued on page 105.] SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 185 EDITORIALS Now that the balmy days of spring are with us again, we arc wondering what sort of baseball team is to represent Somerville High Schools this year. There is every reason to expect luck will be in our favor. Coach Tift, who is eminently the right man for the position, has been putting the boys through a “course of sprouts’ for the last few weeks, in preparation for the coming fray. As Somerville is in the Surburban League this year, with twelve league games, we shall see. no doubt, some sharp struggles on the diamond. School support is as important and necessary for baseball as for any other school matter. Many students frequently attend theatres, dances, football games (in their season), etc., but nary a cent do they spend to see their High School baseball team in action. Surely this is not quite fair. Football is well supported. Why should not baseball receive its share of student enthu- siasm? Think about this, members of Somer- ville High Schools. The responsibility for sup- port rests with you entirely. r r. r Although Somerville did not bring home a cup from the Somervillc-Xewton debate on March IT. the team was by no means entirely defeated, the verdict not being unanimous. It is no discredit to a team to lose a hard-fought struggle, provid- ing they fight with all that is in them. All honor, then, to our brave team, for they went out against a redoubtable enemy, and indeed they fought well. v . ► Only a few more days, and the Junior dance and Senior soiree will be memories of the past. As usual, the members of the committees for these affairs are having a struggle to obtain the proper amount of support from the. Hasses in- volved. It is all very well to express confidence in the dance committees by electing them, but it is not fair to these committees to expect them to do everything. As these affairs arc distinctly class matters, all members of the classes should help in regard to the sale of tickets and financial support. Seniors and Juniors!! I)o all in your power to make these affairs as successful or more so than usual. Remember April 2(1 and May !).

There arc many lines of work and many branches. Take the matter in hand, and think it over seriously. It is not a mere trifle, but a most important sub- ject. which needs careful thought and considera- tion. You should take each branch of work and cross-examine it thoroughly. Decide on some- thing of particular interest to you, something into which you can put vour whole heart and soul. When a person does his work just because he feels that he has to, it doesn’t amount to much. You can win out only when your whole heart is beating time to your efforts. It is well for 11s to remember Ruskin's words: A youth thoughtless! when all the happiness of his home forever depends on the chances or the passions of an hour! A youth thoughtless! when the career of all his days depends on the oppor- tunity of a moment! A youth thoughtless! when his every act is a foundation stone f future con- duct. and every imagination a fountain of life or death!

Grand fifteen- minute walking tour of the Somer- ville High Schools now starting. Stipend, only one dime per capita. “The building which we arc en- tering is the august Latin School. Thousands upon thousands have passed over these stones in the? history of the school. That probably ac- counts for the steps being so dirty. You are now on the first floor. ()wing to the fact that the elevator boy is absent to-day, we shall be obliged to walk up stairs. Xo, madam, there is no observatory on the roof, although the school committee is thinking seriously of establishing a roof garden there this summer. “We are now on the second floor. Observe the young man in front of us surrounded by three pretty girls. That is Parker Xewhall. the hust- ling manager of the Raiuatok. Parker is cov- ered with perspiration from endeavoring to ex- plain to the young ladies, who are on the staff, that the stupid editor, and not himself, is re- sponsible for the delay this month. Well dressed? Yes. very. Brown seems to be a favorite of his. This is Room 21. the chief habitation of the Seniors. Xo. the two boys hanging out of the window are not looking for Halley’s comet. They are only amateur aviators, Middlemas and Blanchard by name. Cast your eye upon the heap of muscle coming down the corridor, escort- ing a lady on either side. That is Milmore. hero of a hundred bloody gridiron fights, president of his class, etc. The boys making such a rude dis- turbance in the corridor are Robinson. Pallis. Tomfohrdc. and Bowlby. They are doing it merely to attract attention. “Don’t alarm yourself, ladies, the gentleman who has just fallen down stairs is not seriously hurt, lie is a Senior. Messer, so conscious of his dignity that he sometimes forgets where he is going. “We are now on the third floor, considerably nearer paradise than we were a short time ago. On one side you perceive the assembly hall; on the other the nursery filled with Freshmen. “Stop! Look! Listen! You are now in the annex. The less said about it the better. And now we enter the portals of the English School. A large school? Yes. indeed. So large that it frequently takes students fifteen minutes to pass from one recitation to another. We are now in front of the office. Inside is the head- master. a private office, two desks, thirteen bad boys, and an electric time clock which dis-regu- lates the time for the whole building. As we walk up this staircase, observe the bust. It is a life-like imitation of General George Washington, a former student of the school. We are now in Room 21. headquarters of the famous ‘Tech’ division of the Senior class. Standing by the window are Waldron and Mori- son. often called the 'long and the short of it.' The two dear old men swapping yarns over in the corner arc ‘Grandpa Boothby and ‘Uncle’ Chapman. Step aside, please! Observe the six young ladies walking down the corridor arm in arm. They are members of the Tip Club, and have the reputation of being the greatest heart-breakers in Somerville. Who is the young lady shouting and gesticu- lating so wildly? Xo. sir. she is not a suffragette. It is only Miss Wood endeavoring to persuade Cutler to buy a soiree ticket. Bow low. please. The husky lad approach- ing is ‘Jack’ Laurie, crack pitcher, president of the Senior class, and handy man in general. He is perfectly harmless, but resents being called names, so take heed. Xow. ladies and gentlemen, as the gong has sounded, we shall be obliged to discontinue our tour until further notice. There are many more interesting things to be seen, including the lunch counter with its goodies, the lecture hall with Grecian warriors running around the walls, the studio with its latest acquisition, a venti- lator. Don't alarm yourself, sir. That was merely a slight explosion in the chemical 'lab.' We shall be out of the building before the odor can reach 11s. Xo. my employers do not refuse to allow nu- to accept mercenary expressions of gratitude from visitors. Thank you, thank you.” KDITOR’S XOTK : For tl e benefit of the peace amt safety of the author of this article, wc refrain from printing his name. 192 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The exchange editor drew her chair tip to her desk, and arranged the pile of exchanges on one side and a pile of white paper on the other. “Isn't it a dreadful bother to have to give up so much time to the reading of the papers? asked a girl friend, sitting down near her. “You aren't the first who has asked me that, Sara. No, it isn’t a bother at all. It’s fun to read the different papers. You sit there and read a few and tell me what you think of them.’’ All right. May I take these?” Yes, those are all right. When you have read one sing out, and tell me everything about it. Begin now.” There was silence in the room for some time, and then Sara said: Here’s one. Tell the As- sembler that its cover is a corker. Can’t write ‘corker'? Well, say it’s very good. Then write that the rest of the paper is as good as its cover. I am glad to see an exchange column which shows that a lot of time and work has been spent on it. That’s all for that. I here was no sound in the room for a while, until the exchange editor said: The Cherry and White is a new exchange. We are very glad to see it. and hope it will come again. The paper on which it is printed isn't of very good quality, and there are far too many pages of jokes. The head- ing of the exchange column is certainly original, and one of the best I’ve seen this year.” Well,” replied Sara, I’ve finished the Blue Owl. It is a very good paper, but the alumni editor did not overwork herself this month, and for such a long list of exchanges, the exchange editor has written about very few. I read the H. II. S. Volcano when I was over the other day, and 1 like it. There is only one story in it, but it is rather well written. I read the Kodak, too, and it is a mighty interesting paper. The edito- rials are very good, and each one is on something of interest to every one. Silence reigned again in the little room, until the exchange editor exclaimed: “Sara!” Yes. What’s the trouble? A really, truly good paper. What is it? Tell me quick!” The P. H. S. Index. It’s all good except for the exchange column, and that is rather short. Don't talk to me while I read every bit of it. Well, before you begin take this down. The (ileaner has come back after a long absence, and it seems good to see it again. It is one of the best papers we have received this year. Perhaps you’ve read better. Madame Editor, but 1 haven’t. Write that down.” Very well. Xow read School Life while I finish this I'm reading.” All right.” After a short time Sara looked up. It’s as good as usual, she said. The exchange column seems to have more jokes in it than criticisms this month. Tell the Hopkins Arms it’s a fine idea to print a school song each month. Tell them, too, that their exchange column is terribly small, but we know it will be better next month. That’s all now.” My. but it's nice to see the Dome again! said the exchange editor. When I pick that paper up I'm always sure of something good, and the edi- tion for March is no exception. The Blue and White is a good paper, too. and I admire the courage of the editors. I can imagine the troubles they have to contend with, and I think they put out a mighty nice little paper.” They certainly do. Well. I must be going along home. Glad to have helped you any. and it was interesting. See you to-morrow. Oh! What’s the Cicero lesson? Nineteen to twenty- two? Thank you. Good-by.” The exchange editor put awav the papers, and as she did so, she said: It’s nice-to have friends to help one. Now for a month I can go to bed early.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 193 ALlMXIXCm 'ft-Jr? Tv'Jy’. -w.-. NT-l Miss Helen J. Sanborn. ’75.

The election for managers of next year’s teams resulted in the following: Football manager, Walter Whittaker. Latin; assistant managers, J. A. Dutelle, English, Oscar Cederlund, English; hockey manager, Bourne, Latin. As no games have yet been played, and only one cut made in the number of candidates for the baseball team, the final make-up of the squad is somewhat uncertain. Captain W illiams, Norton, Parks, Garland, Laurie, Dickson, Knox, all mem- bers of last year's squad, will undoubtedly be fix- tures. With four candidates for first base, all nearly equal in fielding, the best batter will prob- ably win out. This can be said of all other posi- tions. This year Somerville is weak in pitching material. There are five men out, only one of whom has had previous experience with high school teams. Laurie will probably do most of the pitching, with Holmes, Whittaker, Reddon, and Prior as other box men. Garland and Knox have both had experience, and can hold down the backstop position. Dickson, John O’Donoghue, and possibly one of the pitchers would make a strong outfield. This year the squad is large and all are good fielders, so the best man at the bat will probably get his position. As yet the batting ability of the men has not been shown, but relying on last sea- son we make the above suppositions. Coach 'l ift is certainly a success thus far, having got the team well started and the boys interested and willing. Without the respect of his pupils, no teacher can succeed: this applies to sports as well as to classrooms. This is Coach Tift’s first year at Somerville; let us hope he will turn out a championship team. The school representation during the football season was excellent. Now warm weather is here (?), let's support the baseball team equally well. 'Hie baseball schedule :— (From the Somerville Reporter.) April 1!) (a. m.)—Malden at Broadway field. April Ft (p. ni.)—R.

Stoughton jumped to his feet. and. striding over to Graham, gazed earnestly into his face, then his eyes rested on a large photo which was hung in a shaded alcove. He reached over, and, pushing the curtain farther apart, viewed the picture with unashamed astonishment. It’s just as you looked when you pitched that last game, lie mur- mured. “P'rhaps you don’t know me, he continued in a louder tone, but I know you now. For three seasons, baseball and football, I’ve watched you play : and. putting it mildly. I may say I went mad over you every time, and my sister was just the same. Then he turned to the fellows who were lounging in easy chairs, and said: “You know that fellow I went to see pitch so many times last year? Well, here he is. His record is three no-hit. 110-run games and thirteen home runs in baseball, and in football he was the only reliable gainer on any of the league teams.

CKS( )N an Allen strolled slowly down Broadway with his friend, Ralph Wright. They were intent upon no certain purpose, but drifted along with the never-ceasing crowd of America’s metropolis. Having reached the string of pawnshops below Twenty- third street they paused occasionally to look at the curious collections displayed in the windows. Their attention was attracted by a small dagger of Oriental design such as one sees thrust in the belts of the ancient warriors of the East. Wright, being somewhat of a curio seeker, was greatly in- terested. and the two began to discuss the weapon earnestly. Suddenly Van Allen heard a low gasp at his side. Turning his head, he saw, standing close to him and gazing with fixed eyes at the ancient dagger, a Japanese of characteristic coun- tenance and build. Wright had resolved to purchase the curio, so snatching Van Allen by the coat sleeve he pro- ceeded into the shop. The pawnbroker with a de- voted observance of the requirements of his trade haggled long over the price, but at last parted with the weapon for a respectable sum. ()n closer examination the ivory hilt was seen to be beautifully carved, and the blade of keenest steel. The ornamentation of the hilt consisted of deep scroll work on the sides, and on the end was a series of concentric circles about a small hole not much larger than a pin head, but very deep. Wright was overjoyed at obtaining this prize, and together they hurried from the shop to seek an expert. In their haste Van Allen did not notice the Japanese who still stood before the shop window. In his eyes there seemed to burn a dull light of desire, and he glanced eagerly at the parcel which held the antique. When the two comrades had covered the distance of about half a block the Japanese followed. He held this space con- stantly. and could with ease keep in sight the broad shoulders and tall form of Van Allen. The pair entered the office of one of Wright’s ac- quaintances, who was an authority on Oriental products. Here the Jap waited for their reap- pearance. Van Allen and his chum were ushered into the presence of the antiquarian, an elderly man with long white hair parted over a high forehead. He examined the dagger with interest, and pro- nounced it a perfect example of the Japanese sword-maker’s skill. The pair then left the office, and proceeded to Wright's rooms in an up-town apartment house. Here he placed in a cabinet this latest addition to his collection. Van Allen, having an -engagement, soon left. A few minutes later Wright heard a low knock at the door. Upon opening it he beheld a Japanese, clad in a shiny frock coat and baggy trousers. It was the Orien- tal who had followed the couple from the pawn- shop, but the dignified carriage, which had so dis- tinguished him previously, now seemed to have vanished. He claimed to have come from Japan to obtain aid for a missionary school, and begged a contribution from Wright. With impulsive gen- erosity Wright donated a small sum to the Japa- nese. who bowed obsequiously and departed. At twelve that night Wright crept wearily into bed. and soon was lost in sleep. The building was quiet, and from without the moon shed a gentle light through the windows. He had slept per- haps two hours when he awoke with a sudden shiver. A draft was blowing from somewhere. He sat up. attentive. A soft click as of a door came from the room in which stood the cabinet. He leaped from the bed. and dashed through the portieres of his chamber. A chair was in his way, and he sprawled blindly on the floor. With exe- crations lie arose from the debris of his furniture. The hall door stood open. He realized that with the start any intruder had obtained pursuit would be useless. So. switching on the light, he looked about to discover if anything was missing. His first care was the cabinet. The door yielded to his hand without a key. and to his amazement he saw that the lock had been cleverly pried away. There lay intact the many souvenirs and curios he had gathered, but the dagger, the Japanese dag- ger. was gone! A hasty examination showed that nothing else had been disturbed. Why had the thief singled this alone from the numerous more SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 201 valuable pieces? l ie stepped back from the cabi- net amazed, and felt a sharp stab on the bare soie of his foot. ()n the rug lay a small piece of ivory tapered to a needle-like point. He picked the ivory from the floor and twirled it thoughtfully in his fingers, lie had never seen it before, but there was nothing about it that suggested mys- tery. Placing the needle carefully in the cabinet, he stepped to the telephone. A sleepy operator responded to his call, and soon connected him with Jackson Van Allen. This individual, awakened from a sound repose by the insistent clamorings of the bell, responded somewhat sharply, although sleepily, to the words of his friend. Wright easily roused him, how- ever. and soon he was on his way to the rooms of his comrade. On his arrival Wright told his story and exhibited the needle of ivory. “So I’m to act the role of Sherlock Holmes, is that it?” Van Allen inquired. “Well. Watson, it is my first deduction that the thief had a very poor idea of values. Now, as my more famous, al- though. as you will grant, somewhat inferior col- league. Mr. Holmes, would have done, 1 will put myself in the intruder's place. If it had been I. that old hatchet on the left would have disap- peared.” he continued, pointing to an Abyssinian battle-ax. “1 just need that to finish off my den.” “Oh. say. Jack.” cried Wright, “quit fooling and come down to business. Haven’t you got any theory?” Well. replied Van Allen, “in the first place, whoever it was wanted something in the cabinet, for there are lots of things here in the room that an ordinary thief would have been attracted bv first. So. we take it that the thief knew the con- tents of the cabinet. Now he might have in- tended to take something else, but you surprised him. and he snatched the dagger. But you see, it lay in such a position that to obtain it he must move a number of things. That nugget, for in- stance. would have found its way into a common burglar’s pocket long before the dagger. There- fore, we arrive at the conclusion that the thief was after the dagger and knew its whereabouts. The next thing we ought to decide is the reason he wanted the dagger, and that’s where 1 stick.” 'The pair were at a loss, so Van Allen suggested seeking the old antiquarian and questioning him more closely about the lost weapon. right re- tired to dress himself in a more substantial cos- tume than heretofore, while Van Allen sat down to ponder. Suddenly lie jumped to his feet. Rushing over to the cabinet, he snatched out the little ivory needle, which he examined closely. A shout of triumph brought Wright, disheveled and half-dressed, into the room. “Look, old boy! yelled Van Allen, look at this! “Yes. I’m looking; don’t get excited. What’s the matter? Did you step on it, too?” No, no! Look at those marks! Wright took the needle qucstioningly from Jackson’s hand. There on the point was a series of scratches running around it. Looks as if it fitted into something and turned like a key. doesn’t it? he queried. “That’s it exactly, replied Van Allen. Now, listen, do you remember that little hole in the top of the hilt, and how deep the carving on the sides was? Well, it’s my theory that there was a hid- den box in the hilt, and this needle was the key, and that little hole the key-hole. l y jovc! exclaimed the astonished Wright, you arc some detective. Thanks, Watson, I’m glad to see you arc ap- preciative; we will proceed. Now. working on my theory, if the thief has not got this key. he can’t get at the box in the hilt, in which some- thing of value must lie concealed. So he must either get this needle or lose all his trouble. I suggest that we put this key. say, on this ash-trav. and hide ourselves somewhere here to-night. If lie comes back we’ll get him. In the meantime we'll visit the pawn-broker and the old anti- quarian.’ It was now about six o’clock, and the two left the rooms to seek a breakfast. After satisfying their appetites, they took a taxi-cab to the pawn- shop. where the dagger had been purchased. To Van Allen's examination the shopkeeper re- sponded rather surlily until he found a bill in his hand, on one corner of which a was conspicu- ous. Yes. lie remembered now who had pawned the antique. It was a big man with a beard, a Russian, he thought. He did not know how the Russian got it. Had any one else tried to buy it? No, but a Japanese had come in on the very day they had bought it and asked almost these same questions. 'Pile broker described the Jap as be- ing of shabby appearance, wearing a worn silk hat, frock coat and trousers. He seemed to speak good English, and was very dignified, al- though rather excited. 202 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR The couple left the pawn-shop, and were soon attain iii the office of the antiquarian. Van Allen asked him if the Japanese were accustomed to making secret hiding places in their utensils and weapons. He replied that it was a rare occur- rence, although there were several swords and boxes in the Metropolitan Museum in which there were concealed openings. Van Allen was satis- fied that his theory was correct, and they returned to Wright's apartment to prepare a more definite plan to entrap the thief. A screen which stood in one corner offered the best concealment, and provided a complete view of the room through the cracks where the leaves were hinged. Behind this shield they took their places about eleven o'clock that evening. It had been decided not to seize the intruder, if he ap- peared. until the last minute. The night wore on. but nothing happened. Their position began to be cramped and uncomfortable. The stillness was broken by a light tapping on the window. The watchers peered eagerly from their ambush. A rope dangling from above hit the pane as it swung. Then a dark body ap- peared from the roof. It was a short man, evi- dently a trained athlete or acrobat. With deft fingers lie opened the window, and as he jumped lightly into the room, the moonlight struck full on his face. It was a Japanese,—the Jap mis- sionary. the Jap of the pawn-shop! Quickly turn- ing. the Oriental knelt on the floor and began to search, with the aid of a flashlight. He next opened the cabinet and felt softly among the col- lection. From this he turned with a despairing gesture. As he did so. the light fell on the ash- tray. lie grasped the needle eagerly, and crept quickly to the window. Wright was about to jump, but Van Allen placed a restraining hand on his shoulder. Wait. he whispered. The Japanese swung lightly out on the window sill, and disappeared hand over hand up the rope. • c: 9 ’ £ ' j ' o «■ When he was gone Wright turned angrily on his companion. We've lost everything now, he cried sharply. What's the matter with you?” “Come on and shut up. replied Van Allen. Wright followed Van Allen, who rushed to the stairs. They reached the lower hall just as the elevator, which ran all night, and was also de- scending. stopped. They took their stand by the door. The elevator boy, evidently on some er- rand. stepped out of the lift and walked through the door, with an inquiring glance at the pair. After him came the Jap, again in frock coat and silk hat, but he did not attempt to pass. Instead, he stepped up to Van Allen, and said calmly:— Sir. I suppose you demand an explanation. I will give it to you. Five years ago my brother and I, Count Otsuma, were on the staff of Field Marshal Oyama. My brother was entrusted with a dispatch. He carried with him always a dagger inside his tunic. In the hilt was a secret box. There lie placed the message. As he gal- loped. the dagger slipped from its place and fell,to earth. A search was futile. The armies marched and countermarched over the road where it was lost. As a result, my brother was degraded and our house forever dishonored bv the emperor. As you may guess, the dagger you bought was my brother's. I had still kept the key. I have at last succeeded in finding the dispatch, and I gave the elevator boy mv last dollar to mail it to my father. The honor of the house of Otsuma is saved, although in doing so I have become a thief, iherefore----” He made a swift motion to his mouth with one hand, and almost instantly his face was horribly contorted. He fell to the floor, and soon the last vestige of life was gone, despite the desperate en- deavors of Van Allen and Wright. The pair stood silent, and then slowly uncovered their heads, feeling that they looked on the last of a true hero. Il . H. 5. The I’hi Alpha Sorority held their annual dance at Anthoine's Academy Tuesday evening, April •I. The hall was very prettily decorated in yel- low and white chrysanthemums and the shield of the sorority was hung at each end of the hall. The members, consisting of Ruth Cummings, Helen Field, Mildred Winship, Alice Cummings, Edith Gardner, and Edith Stackpole, were the ushers. They were well aided by Robert Bourne, Earle Woodman. Stanley Bowlby. Sherbourne Wiggin. Stanley Lane, and Paul Brine. The mothers of the six girls were the matrons of the affair. It is thought by the members that, notwith- standing the stormy night, the dance was a great success, and that the evening will be remem- bered with pleasure. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 203 Mas It? 36 v? Hrtbur H. IRicbarbson, '12 HE little college town was all alive with the excitement that invariably accompanies the opening clays of a ne v school year. Five days had passed since the incoming class had matriculated, and the hazing and in- terclass contests were well under way. On this particular sunny September afternoon the Freshman-Sophomore rope-pull was to take place. A small stream about forty yards wide and at no place over five feet deep flows through the lower end of the college land, and it was here that the people gathered to see the fun. The Fresh- men took their stand on one side of the stream, and the Sophs on the other. To win the event, one class must pull the other through the water and out onto the other bank. It the Freshmen win they arc allowed to hang their prep school pennants on the walls of their rooms. If they lose it becomes the privilege of the Sophs to confiscate all such banners that they can lay hands on. fhe spectators lined up on both banks eager with that joy that people find in seeing others get ducked. Not only was the whole college there, but also the entire population of the town, even to the carmen from the specials waiting on the tracks at the upper side of the campus. The small boy was prominent on the front row. while the feminine contingent waited more timidly on the outskirts of the crowd. The college men were bundled in two divisions to cheer on the contestants. ()n one side the Juniors were rapidly forming the Freshmen in line and giving them their final instructions: while on the opposite side the Seniors were encouraging the Sophs and clearing a lane that they might have easy access to the water. For it was real- ized by all that the Sophomores would have to go through. But that was no disgrace, since the Freshmen were so superior in numbers. Most of the victims were dressed in their old clothes, but there was one among the Sophs who was individualized by virtue of wearing his best suit. This was Dave Snow, or Sampson. the first Sophomore who was ever elected 'varsity captain. Since football men were not allowed to take part in the pull for fear of injuring them- selves. he stood gazing wistfully at his more for- tunate classmates. At last all was ready. Fusser Stirling, presi- dent of the Senior class, stepped forward with a pistol glittering in his hand. The anchor men fixed the rope tighter about their waists: the vic- tims clenched their hands still more fiercely: Fusser raised his hand, there was a flash of sunlight on polished metal. a puff of smoke, and the pull was on. The rope stretched and then for a time held sta- tionary. The muscles on the men's bare arms stood out frightfully. It was just as when two bulldogs get a grip on the same bone and refuse to arbitrate. The spectators, growing impatient, commenced a running fire of sarcastic comments and demanded that the victims start something. Then the advantage of weight on the Freshman side began to tell, and slowly but surely the Sophs were pulled toward the water. The first victim was dragged in. then another, and another. 'The small boys shouted gleefully. The Juniors re- doubled their encouragement to the Freshmen. Then with a rush the line moved forward. The Sophs churned up the mud from the bottom in their efforts to hold back, but it was no use. The Freshmen, having realized their power, would not be denied, and the whole Sophomore class was dragged floundering through the stream, and the Freshmen had gained the right to decorate their rooms with the reminders of their Prep school days. A good-natured cheer was started for the Freshmen, but it was suddenly hushed. All looked on in silent amazement while Samp- son. arrayed as he was in his new suit, walked calmly to the water’s edge and floundered through after his class. Then the significance of his act dawned upon them. But there was a difference of opinion among the college men. The com- ments flew back and forth. Pretty good work that, isn't it? Wants to take all that his class has to. Shows pretty good spirit. said one. Good spirit nothing. retorted another. What did he dress up for? He just wants to do something no one else has done before. It was a ‘grandstand play.’ that’s what it was. Was it? 204 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOF tlbe IReal flbumsbment .1B ? Baotmsar 1l Saobbtgian, BE., 'U ”... Rrave men die and live forever. Fools die every day without having lived at all. Xo baser villain ever lived than he who violates his pledge to our cause’’ were the finishing words of the nihilist leader. The leader was ignorant of the phenomenon he expressed so as to suit his tale. Thus he kin- dled the barbaric wrath of his illiterate follow- ers. . . .” The assassination of three of the best citizens of the town was resolved upon, and the leader himself was to “lick the blood of Lovejoy like a leech, and leave his frame to the carrion beasts that he might convert them, too.” Mr. Lovejoy’s presence in society was like the purple dawn showering harmony on the awakening world, hear was no part of him. as the shadow is no part of the sunshine. He lived in con- scious realization of good, and this was sufficient to make him “ruler over many things. ' The “Prof” equipped himself to take his ambuscade. Before sending his wife away, he kissed her twice. “Why signs of unusual affec- tion?” inquired the innocent woman. I IF gaze refused to respond to the simple and childlike faith with which Mrs. “Prof ’ waited for an answer. “Because I have learned your value, and love you more now,” responded the husband without raising his eyes from the floor. Good-bye, drear ‘ lie meant to say dear). I shall be up at ten o’clock to bring you home. he continued, closed the door, and threw himself into his chair. There was a mental gap to be crossed—dark and dreary, full of chilly thoughts and malevolent suggestions. Finally he ex- claimed “Well.” Then he asked himself: What is well? and What is satisfaction? He defined the first question thus: All that satisfies my nature is well. and the second he thought was the quenching of his “passion.” As darkness brooded over the warm, sultry day. the “Prof rose to proceed to the place of action. The bell rang. The leader was startled. Has our resolution been revealed to the authori- ties?” thought he. With trembling hands he opened the door. He dimly recognized the fea- tures of the man. It was his intended victim. This F Mr. Lovejoy,” said the visitor, and I wish to have a conference with the ‘Prof’ if it is convenient for him.” There was silence for a while. “Convenient,” thought the leader, “you saved my footsteps.” He said. Come in, and continued, hesitatingly, “I don’t believe we want any light. It is cooler to sit in the dark. Although Mr. Lovejoy took this in earnest, it had a baser meaning for the Prof.” Mr. Lovejoy never trusted human opinion. He always followed the bidding of Di- vine Intelligence. But why had he come to ask advice about the former nihilist, to whom he had given light, he did not understand. Mr. Innocent needs our aid, said the visitor. “You know. ’Prof.’ that we become more manly when we take advantage of privileges and do our duties toward our fellowmen and serve them to serve mankind.” 'l'he anger of the Prof” reached to indigna- tion as he thought: Was not Innocent serving mankind through nihilist principles? Did not he endeavor to free humanity from social, political, and religious slavery?” “Mr. Innocent,” continued the guest, is a worthy man now and can be helpful--------. 'I’he now” wounded Prof’s” pride, and he burst out into such a spontaneous shower of hate- ful expressions that the amazed listener’s ear echoed for a long time with these words: “The un- principled townsman—the villain—the rogue. He deserves a dagger that will send him to the accursed region.” Meanwhile he unsheathed his weapon to execute vengeance on Mr. Lovejoy. The “Prof’s” principles were only known to his followers. Mr. Lovejoy, thinking that these al- lusions were to Innocent, the nihilist, endeavored to tell the host of the fact that Innocent was try- ing to lead an exemplary life. To quiet the passion of the “Prof” the visitor said gracefully: Nothing is gained by killing. The body is not responsible for what the hand does. The action of the hand is the expression of the thought. Killing does not adjust a wrong. A right mental condition yields harmony. There was a new note in Mr. Lovejoy’ con- versation. and the nihilist, weapon in hand, thought he would listen for a while and satisfy his curiosity. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 2C5 “To remedy a wrong,” continued the visitor, “it is necessary to see the mistake and correct it. Let us say that you wish to kill me for a fault of mine. Here the host unconsciously shuddered and sheathed the dagger quickly to prevent further suspicion.” Mr. Loyejoy not only had not seen the weapon, but was not even conscious of any danger, and he continued: “You only kill the agent by which that error or of- fence was expressed, but not that which expressed itself. . . .” The best way to get rid of vile Innocents is to burn them at the stake and let the town be illum- ined by their light,” said the “Prof” with a re- vengeful expression. The sweet individuality of Mr. Lovejoy realized that he had a duty to perform here.—a slave of wrong conception to be set free, and a captive of a revengeful mentality to be thrown into tiic free hands of Love. I am sure,” said the guest, you will not im- pose upon others what you wish not to endure yourself. If we stop to listen to the second thought calmly and patiently, we will realize that our aims are the same all over the world—the anarchist, the Christian, the nihilist, the infidel, etc., all aspire for the same end. consciously or unconsciously. Hut they work differently. Their understanding governs their work: hence the dissimilarity. The nihilist thinks his duty it is to overthrown social, political, and religious revolutions. The Christian knows that life is a dream unless it is lived nobly. The nihilist de- nies that any tiling can be known or shown to exist. The Christian affirms that the principle of being is life, truth, and love. Love expresses its attributes only. This truth makes him free from phenomenal conceptions which enslave man to envy and other vices. The nihilist with his cruelty presses on. leaving behind him traces of tears and supplications. The Christian s activity imparts peace and jov to all. He says: ‘I claim the present, bury the past in the sackcloth of the iDonomonach Club The Monomonack Club, chaperoned by Mrs. Cann and Mrs. Paris, held a very successful house party at Sunnycrest, Lake Monomonack. Rindge, X. H., during the May vacation. The members of the club are: Violette Cann. Charlotte Cann, Florence Bowen, Minnie Robertson, Ethel Or- cutt, and Hazel Paris. days gone by. and follow the behest of Divine Love, which manifests all good.’ An unconscious victory which Mr. Lovejoy had won, no earthly power could have achieved, lie had sown the good seed of understanding which crushes every obstacle to dust at the end. During this brief space of time the “Prof had learned the real duty and service of mankind, but he still gave away to his passions, poured out all that was unbecoming to a man of his standing, and finished with the words: Innocent shall die the death of a vermin.” My dear 'Prof, interrupted the visitor. ‘the best way to punish a bad man is the discipline that will make him become good.’ said Professor Moseley, and Hannah More said. continued the speaker. “‘If I wish to punish mv enemy I shall make him hate some one.' Now you are pun- ishing yourself by robbing yourself f harmony, which is the essence of existence, and a dis- cordant consciousness is the verv region of hell. The Prof dropped his head on his breast, meditated and contemplated over the thoughts of his visitor. I have not lived before, for I never knew what harmony was. he sadly realized. But rather encouraged, he repeated to himself: “’I claim the present.’ There is hope yet. But first I must “‘Hang my vengeance on sweeter words. On love my glimmering swords.’ ” The guest felt that although the purpose of the call was different, his mission, yea the privi- lege of doing more good, had not been revealed to him till then, and a conscious realization af- firmed him that the good which he had spoken had its present effect. As the visitor departed, the Prof stood solemnly in the corridor and opened the door slowly, and vanished amid the rustle of the leaves, thoughtfully saying: Yes, ‘the best way to punish a man is the discipline that will make him become good.’ ” TLnw Blpba fl bi The girls of the Tau Alpha Phi Club spent a delightful vacation week at Camp Somervilla on the Merrimac river. Rowing, autoing. may- flowering. and many other pleasures were en- joyed. They were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Edward ()rcutt. and during the week entertained the members of the T. E. X. Club of Lynn and the Comets of Lawrence. 206 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Man tLong II. 16$ Xeonarfc H. iRice, X., T2 E turned back into the ravine again, and as soon as he had reached the path broke into a run. which brought him quickly to the clump of bushes. Every man of the twenty was fast asleep. Of the twenty, for one, Ericson, had seen the flight of Long John and followed him and the horses. He had rounded the steeds up after Long John left, and brought them back to the saplings again, and now he was making his way carefully along the other cliff opposite to where his comrades were lying. At last he reached a spot directly opposite the detachment, and secreted himself on a ledge raised up from the road and surrounded by a high growth of bushes. Suddenly a puff of smoke rose from the bushes of the cliff opposite—another—a pause of a few seconds, and then another. What could it mean? The smoke was not from a gun, for no report came to the ears of the lieutenant. “I’d like to know what it all means,” thought Ericson. “I’ve suspected the critter all along.” Then he crouched lower on his resting place, for he heard voices. They did not seem to come from the road in front, but from behind him. Cautiously raising himself, he parted the bushes, . which grew thickly along the cliff, and crawled through them. Then suddenly the bushes parted by his hands disclosed—a road. Am 1 dreamin’, or what is the trouble?” lie muttered. “Where in thunder can it come from?” The voices were louder now. and peering from his hiding place, he saw coming along the road ten cowboys, leading their mounts behind them, as the extreme narrowness of the road obliged them to do. Something queer in their appearance struck Ericson, and then. “Chinks, as I live!” he muttered, and smuggles at that.” the last remark being caused by the sight of the horses loaded down with bundles. The yellow men were commenting in their na- tive tongue, which Ericson of course could not understand, but he saw by their gestures that they were talking about the detachment on the other cliff. A party of Chinamen smuggling goods across the line, and a party of star C. M. P.’s on the oppo- site cliff! Somebody was to blame for all this, and Ericson had a pretty fixed idea who it was. But how could it be? A man who had so long been a trusted ally of the Mounteds to go over to the enemy, and the Chinks above all others! The mock cowboys were near at hand now. Ericson, keeping within the bushes, worked his way to the cliff road, and from there down into the ravine at the top of his speed. He made his way with all speed to the saplings, and seizing his mount, sprang oil his back and tore up the road toward the barracks. Within twenty minutes of the time he had left the ravine he drew his panting horse up at the door of the barracks. A loud yell brought a crowd of men to the door. Ten men mount immediately and follow me,” Ericson cried. The posse under the lieutenant was soon tearing down the road, leaving farm- houses and fields behind in a cloud of dust, into the ravine, where they drew up and hurriedly tied their mouths in the saplings—then up the cliff by a different path from that which Long John had taken. As they neared the top of the cliff they heard shouts and cries, the greater part in Chi- nese. “On the charge, men, Ericson cried, and dashed around the bend in the road with the posse at his heels. Over fifty Orientals were whirling among the bewildered and sleepy police, uttering their fiendish cries and knocking them left and right. Six of the mounteds” lay in the dust of the road, four dead and two severely wounded. Parker was standing with his back to the cliff, striking on all sides with his rifle. As the new force tore around the bend in the road the Chinks set up a yell and started for their horses. A few of them reached their mounts and galloped off down the road, but not before five of those not swift enough to reach their steeds had been killed and the rest captured. As soon as these had been safely secured and a detail of police placed about them with ready rilles, Ericson strode up to each of them and looked him steadily in the face, then turned to those who were lying dead. But in each case he turned away dissatisfied, shaking his head in disappointment. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 20 7 Parker had been carried down into the ravine by four of the men, suffering intensely with a wound in his side from an Oriental s knife, and Ericson now took full command, first ordering one of the men to ride swiftly to the barracks and have the ambulance brought to the ravine, that the dead and wounded might be carried to head- quarters, and also to bring with him on his return ten more men. The dead Chinks were speedily buried, without ceremony, and then Ericson ordered two of the police to search every man of the captives. One of their number, who seemed to be the leader, ob- jected strenuously to the searching of his clothes, but the sight of the revolver in the hand of the searcher quickly brought him to terms. The search proceeded—first, a knife, rusty and broken, was found, then an old watch, next a small image of bronze, and last a large blue pencil. ‘‘That’s all there is on the critter, lieutenant.” remarked the searcher, as lie concluded his dis- tasteful occupation, meanwhile wiping his hands on his trousers. “He’s got somethin' more on him somewhere,” Ericson replied sharply. “Take off his hat— nothin' there? Take off his shoes.” There's nothin in ’em. lieutenant, said the searcher. That Chink made too much of a fuss over be- ing searched to account for them few things. the lieutenant answered scowling. It couldn't be he'd have such a tantrum about this image, and that’s the only thing that’s been found of any value, for he shows he belongs to Wan —the lieutenant stopped abruptly and looked around to see if any of the men had heard the break, but all were busy- ing themselves about their duties. Ericson was about to give up the search when suddenly he noticed the long pigtail,” which lumg from the head of the Oriental to below his waist. “Look at his queue. Thompson, he said, “maybe there’s somethin’ in that. The man started to execute this command, but when the Oriental saw his intention he let out a howl of dismay which was followed by a sharp struggle with the mounted. “I guess I hit the nail on the head that time, sure,” said Ericson dryly. “Unwind it. Pill.” Quickly the men unwound the plaits of hair, and Ericson gave an exclamation of satisfaction as a small piece of bright pink paper fell to the ground. “There’s our game,” he said briefly. “We hold the trumps now.” Ericson picked the paper up and unfolded it. then looked up quickly with a dis- gusted exclamation. Thunder! he exclaimed. It is written in Chi- nese.” T hen suddenly a gleam of hope flashed over his features. Parker can translate Chinese. he said happily, and then we will give the old fellow a lot for his money. Quickly he ordered the squad to march the prisoners to the barracks and to carry their dead and wounded comrades down into the ravine, where they were speedily rushed to the hospital and the barracks morgue. The mounteds. al- though sorrowful over the fall of their com- panions. did not take it to heart as much as one might expect they would. The fact was. such was the danger that beset the duties of the C. M. P.’s that many men were killed yearly, new men were continually coming in and old men leaving, and thus the old men had just begun to get acquainted with the new men when they left and others came. Parker and Ericson. with a few others, had been at No. 1 for a number of years, and had become quite hardened to seeing their comrades fall un- der the knife of the Chinaman or the bullet from the gun or pistol of a drunken cow-puncher; for a cow-puncher very seldom troubled the po- lice unless under the influence of liquor, but on the contrary was always willing to aid them. After reaching the barracks. Ericson hastened at once to the bedroom of the captain, but was checked at the door by the post surgeon. “Parker will be unfit for duty for several weeks, and cannot be disturbed for a few days, he said. For a few days! exclaimed the anxious lieu- tenant. but I’ve got to see him this instant. It is impossible. the surgeon said firmly. “Besides sustaining several serious wounds about the body, lie has received a fracture at the base of the brain which has rendered him unconscious, in which condition he is likely to remain all night. But I’ve got to see him. The reputation of No. 1 depends upon my seeing him. If 1 should operate now he might die. As soon as he regains consciousness I will operate, and after that you may see him—not before.” and the surgeon stepped quickly into the room and shut the door in the lieutenant’s face. [Continued in the June Radiator.] 208 SOM ERVI LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR W ith the school baseball season on the home stretch the championship winner of the Suburban League is in doubt. Our team has done good work this year, and will complete its first season in the league with credit to Somer- ville High Schools. At present there are more victories than losses to our credit, a fact of en- couragement. Somerville has participated in some exciting games this season, and has shown itself to be in the successful class. Interest in the league has perhaps helped the student body to support the team better than in previous years. Support is what a team needs at all times, and when it receives it the effect may usually be seen in an increased number of victories. r At the invitation of Representative Underhill the Senior class of the English School visited the state house one afternoon last month. Under the leadership of Mr. Hatch and a guide the various points of interest in the building were visited, and each and every member of the class had the privi- lege of shaking hands with Governor Loss. A short talk on legislation was given to the class by Mr. Underhill in one of the committee rooms, during which he explained some of the compli- cated machinery of law making in our common- wealth. The visit of the Senior class to the state house is looked forward to each year by the mem- bers of the class, and Mr. Underhill’s kindness is deeply appreciated. The Senior Soiree and the Junior Dance have successfully passed with great credit to both com- mittees. Only four important events remain on the calendar for the rest of the year, namely, Mr. Laxter’s reception for the Latin School, the Senior reception and Class Day for the English school, and last, but not least, graduation. These events mean much to the Seniors who have but little more school life. The last few weeks of school are always busy ones. Warm weather is trying in school, and many succumb to “spring fever. However, school work is as important or more so in the last term as in any other part of the year. Remember, “All's well that ends well.” Carelessness is one of the greatest faults with which the human race is obliged to contend. A striking lesson of the effects of carelessness may be found in the numerous terrible forest fires which occur throughout the nation every spring and autumn. It is true no doubt that many of these fires are set by sparks from trains, but think of the incredible number which occur from pure carelessness. A supposedly burnt match thrown by the way- side. a carelessly extinguished camp fire, or other seemingly trifling things may be the cause of a conflagration destroying life and property. Think this over, gentle reader, and if you are one of the SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 209 kind who are apt to be careless along the line of fire, reform at once. r k r On April 28 the Latin School celebrated the fifty-ninth anniversary of the founding of the school. After a few introductory remarks by Mr. Baxter, a most interesting programme was given as follows:— Singing—“The Flag.’’ The school. Solo— Lullaby from “Jocelyn. Mildred R. Leavitt, ’ll. Reading—“Bear Story ..........James R. Lowell Julia F. Currier. '11. Violin solo. Grace M. Rockwell, ’ll. Solo—“'Hie Swallows.’’ Helen VVeekes, ’ll. Male quartette—“The Bells of Shandon. J. William M. Parks. T2: G. Alexander Haskell, ’ll; John F. Dardis, T2; Norville L. Milmore, ’ll. H011. Edward Glines, class of 1SG9, gave the address, which was an inspiring one. He related some of the happenings in the city hall when it was his schoolroom and when it was his office. Senior Soiree The Senior soiree took place at Anthoine Academy on May 9, and was a great success. The patrons were Mr. Baxter and Mr. Avery, and the matrons Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Avery. The hall was very prettily decorated in Japanese style. Long streamers of pink and white wistaria blos- soms were stretched across the hall from the bal- cony and roof, and Japanese lanterns and para- sols were arranged very artistically among the blossoms. A good number were present, but the hall was not overcrowded, and many enjoyed the event from the balcony. Excellent music was furnished by Neptune’s orchestra, which intro- duced a pleasant surprise by suddenly striking up the tune of “Somervilla” during one of the dances, an innovation which was received in so enthusi- astic a manner that the orchestra was obliged to give several encores. At the end of the evening lie urged the need of military training for the- boys, and said that he would be glad to see the time when there was a Somerville battalion. As- for the girls, he felt that their duty was devotion- to the home. 1 he address was followed by another selection- by the male quartette. Winter Song. Then all arose and sang two stanzas of “The Star- Spangled Banner. accompanied by Miss Rock- well on the violin. K. r r . All material for the June Radiator must be in the hands of the editorial staff by May 2(1. 'Hie Radiator hopes to publish as good a year book as has been gotten out in previous years. In order to do this we need the hearty co-operation of the student body. As customary, the June number will be sold by- subscription only. The subscription blanks have been issued, and may be obtained from the class editors. It is, perhaps, unnecessary to remind the Seniors that there is no pleasanter souvenir of graduation than the June number of the. Radiator. every one present must certainly have felt that it was one of the most enjoyable dances of the sea- son. The committee deserve great credit for the efficiency of their work in carrying the whole affair through without a hitch. TIbe junior Sauce The Junior dance was held at Anthoine Acad- emy on the evening of April 25. It was very well' attended and exceptionally well carried out. Dancing followed the reception given by Messrs. Baxter and Avery and their respective wives,, while Neptune’s orchestra rendered most excel- lent music. The floor was in charge of the presi- dents of the class, acting as floor directors, as- sisted by a large committee. In a word, the dance was a complete success, and a credit to the class of 1912. 210 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'll Andreas II. Tomfohrde, Class Editor. Edward Robinson, Assistant.

She picked up a paper with a neat cover and glanced hastily through it. Here is a nice paper. The Brocktonia never fails to be good. The only trouble with it is that it doesn't visit us very often. We hope it will come more often next year than it has this. ‘Peasant Life in Russia’ is excellent, and goes far ahead of any article of that kind that I have read this winter. Well. I've finished with that. The girl read for quite a while, not stopping to criticise until she had read several papers. Well! There seems to be a run of good stories this time. ’The Castle of Peace,’ in the Item, is just corking, mother. The Quarterly Tatler always has good stories, and the March edition is no exception. Somehow 1 think it was the Quarterly Tatler which objected to love stories, but there is one in this. However, it was the exchange editor who objected, and of course she doesn’t rule the entire paper. The Courier from Boise. Idaho, is certainlv a good paper. Please come again. Courier, and rest assured that you will be very welcome. The Iliad (Troy, X. V.). the Review (Galveston, Tex.), and the Glasgowian (Glasgow, Ky.), are three new ex- changes, and all three come some distance. Their covers are all very simple and very neat. It is quite a shock to open the Glasgowian and find it printed on such a poor quality of paper. You could certainly improve that: but cheer up? The stories and. in fact, everything else are very good. The Iliad and the Review are in no way- disappointing. The exchange editor took up another magazine.. It seems good to see the High School Herald and the Lawrence High School Bulletin once more. They have both been absent for some time. Both are as good as usual. In the Mel- rose High paper. School Life, is a most interest- ing story, called ‘L’npremeditated.’ You must read it, mother. I wonder whether a boy or a girl wrote it. 1 should think a big school like Waltham High could put out a better paper than it does. I don't mean that the stories are poor, or anything like that. There’s something wrong with it. but I can't put my finger on the trouble. I do wish that the Purple and Gold would not mix the literary matter and the advertisements. I nearly always miss part of the paper because they do that. The High School Advocate has some- thing a great many papers lack, and that is a long list of editorials. Every department of this paper is worth reading, not once, but many times. The Dome has returned after a time, and it brings, its usual good story and clever sketches. Well, mother. I’m through. I have read until mv eyes ache, and have written until my hand has the writer’s cramp. Xow I'll go out for a walk. Please tell Mary to put the papers in my room, and don’t let her destroy any. for I must have every one for help on my column. ‘As Others See I s,’ which we have each June. Don't forget. Yes, I'll get the bread. Good-by. 216 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Alumni notes - -«sc? The engagement of Helen Jones, of Somerville, to Walter Taylor, English, ’03, is announced. Eulah Sias.

ATH L Somerville, 4; iDalOen, 2 Somerville opened the season by defeating Malden, 4-2. at Broadway field April 19. The game was close and interesting throughout. Up to the eighth inning the score was 1-1, Malden scoring in the eighth with two down, and Somer- ville in the fourth with two out. Both Queen and Laurie pitched good ball, Laurie striking out four men and allowing six hits, and Queen striking out nine and allowing four hits. The hits off Laurie were scattered and useless, while those off Queen came in the eighth inning, and scored three men. Malden made two double plays, one in the third, when Garland was doubled at first on Laurie’s at- tempt to sacrifice, which resulted in a pop fly, and again in the sixth, when Dickson was doubled at first on Laurie’s fly to shortstop. Both Crockett and Butler hit well for Malden, Crockett scoring a double and a single out of four times up. and Butler only a double, scoring on a single by Turner. Somerville’s hits were all singles, Norton get- ting two, Garland and Laurie one each.

Somerville scored in the fourth. With two out, Parks drew a pass, stole second, and then third, and walked home when Townsend reached second on Gcrrish’s error.

Hunt batted well for the home team, scoring a three-bagger and a two-bagger. In the fourth Somerville went entirely around the batting order, and four runs were scored. Townsend fanned and Dickson drew a pass. Knox reached first on Shepard’s error, and Laurie and Williams got singles. A wild pitch by Mun- roc. and four runs were scored. Norton reached first on an error, and Fallis singled. Brickley pulled down a drive by Parks labeled for three bases. This ended the scoring. A double play, Norton and Williams, spoiled Everett’s chances for scoring. Somerville tallied two more in the sixth. Shepard permitted Williams to reach first again by a muffed ball. Eallis and Parks smashed out two-baggers. Parks stole third, but was left on base. Munroc dropped one over the fence for two bases, and Brickley flied to Townsend. Hoyle hit to Johnny Norton, who made a pretty stop and throw to first. In the seventh Somerville scored two on two bases on balls, an error, and a batting rally. Shepard placed a Texas leaguer back of second base, and scored on Gould’s hit to left field. Murry hit a liner to Parks, who caught Gould at the plate. Laurie popped up a fly in the ninth that there was some question about. Finally the umpire de- cided it to be a foul. On his next chance Laurie struck out. Norton singled and stole, but was caught at third. For Everett. Hoyle and Sweetland singled. With two down, Murray hit safe, filling the bases. Hunt hit a three-bagger, scoring three runs. Knox ended the game by catching Campbell's high foul.

Stone, X., '11 lion CLASS POEM] Come out! for spring is in the air And deep blue is tne sky: Half hidden in the tender grass. Peep forth the spring flowers shy, While far above in heaven’s warm winds A flock of wild birds fly. Their journey toward the north they speed To hail approaching spring; Far from the distant southern lands They fly on eager wing; Of birds and flowers and every joy Of glad springtime they sing. Then swift as arrows from a bow On splendid wings they soar; Sometimes above a deep abyss Where troubled waters roar: And sometimes, charmed by this green earth, They skim the meadows o’er. Now circling round above a lake. Its waters they survey. Then, swooping down with noisy whirr. They dash the sparkling spray. But ere the ripples reach the shore, They’re flying far away. The hunter’s shot may put to flight The winged voyagers. Or cruel storm blast beat to earth Some weary loiterers; But nothing checks the onward sweep Of nature’s messengers. And thus, by some strange instinct led, When first spring days appear, Into the North's unfriendly cold, Their rapid course they steer; '1 hough to far distant lands they fly, They feel no dread nor fear. But trusting in some unseen Power, All dangers they withstand: With tireless wings, above the earth, Swift flies the joyous band: Until, their journey past, they come Into the long-sought land. So. in the springtime of our life, With eager hearts we yearn To try our restless wings in flight. And of life’s tasks to learn; Unto the cold, unfriendly world, ' Our joyous spirits turn. Like birds, to sun-kissed heights we soar Like them, to earth descend: We, too. must pass o’er waters drear, Where shadows dark impend. But hopeful youth has courage keen To reach its journey’s end. So. from the Power which guides the birds High courage we beseech. That with all patience we may learn The lessons life can teach: That all our paths be straight and true Until our goal we reach.

Sullivan, IS., ’ll Fifty years ago, the Union was in jeopardy. With Lincoln’s inauguration as president, the South had seceded. Fort Sumter had been fired upon. War, red-handed, cruel W ar had taken pos- session of our land. A half century has passed; the thunder of battle long since has died away, and the smoke of battle has ceased to disfigure the blue heavens—a re- united nation sits smiling amid prosperity and plenty. The old soldiers, survivors of the war, seem in these anniversary days to stand with the backward look and ear attent, as if to catch again the echo of the drum beat and the marching feet of the Boys of ’ 1. If you listen you will find their reminiscences largely personal. Very little is said of the problems and principles for which they fought and bled—for in the last half century a new star has arisen, whose intensity has in- creased a thousandfold, which, as it rises higher, sends its rays to an ever widening horizon: the star of Universal Peace. It is fitting that those who have survived the shock of arms should thus yield to the inlluence of peace. It is most fitting that the rising genera- tion should come under its inlluence. Against the dark background of reminiscence of war. and into the harmony of this June morning, I offer for consideration the subject of Universal Peace. War is a relic of barbarism and has no place in civilization. As the poet Lowell made the quaint old Hosea Biglow to say:— “Ez fer war. I call it murder. There you have it plain and flat; I don’t have to go no further Than the best of books for that.” Hie only reason that war can exist among en- lightened nations to-day is that the nations them- selves have not attained that plane of civilization which would enable them to settle disputes with- out the primitive recourse to arms. Yet the world has made great progress in civili- zation. A few centuries ago. a king, desirous of enlarging his domain, merely threw his army into the territory of some weaker neighbor and took what he wished, strengthened morally by the idea that might is right.’’ We have advanced a little over that. To-day such a condition of af- fairs could not exist. War is no longer a play- thing for ambitious princelings, but is dreaded by the strongest monarchs and nations. A force has grown up along with the advance of civilization, unknown in the regime of the slogan. Might is right.’’ This is the irresistible force of public opinion. We are ninety millions of people, inhabiting a land which stretches from ocean to ocean. Thanks to those wonderful agents of civilization, the telegraph and a free press, we arc kept in touch with every movement of the national government. Its every action is known to the country, and every citizen, regardless of his position in life, thinks over independently the government's policy and has his opinion concern- ing it. Public opinion is an outgrowth of civilization in a republic, but the cause of universal peace is an outgrowth of international civilization. The great movement for universal peace signifies that there is a powerful undercurrent among the en- lightened nations of the earth for international peace. As Philander C. Knox says: The trend of the times is toward international unity which at the same time preserves national organization.” The development of international law and an arbitral court of justice for nations is parallel to the development of common law and the courts of a nation. In primitive times there was one kind of argument known,—brute force. In the early part of Roman civilization a dispute between sev- eral persons was decided by a third person, the Pontifex Maximus. The judge had no power to enforce his decrees. The next step in the devel- opment of the Roman court occurred when a panel of jurors was instituted from which a jury of judges might be picked. But it was under the empire that a Roman court backed by Rome came into existence. In the middle ages it was the custom among na- tions sometimes to refer a dispute to a third king, or to the pope, who decided the question upon its merits, and who occupied a position similar to that of the Pontifex Maximus. To-day the ideal is peace among all nations. The Hague conference, which has been an impor- tant influence in international disputes, is now succeeded by the international court of arbitra- tion. and that looks forward to an international 230 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR court of arbitral justice. Already many of the smaller nations have entered into a compact never to go to war with one another. These nations in order of their joining the compact are as follows . Argentina and Chili were first: then Hol- land and Belgium. Norway and Sweden followed their example. Negotiations for such a treaty are being carried on to-day between the two most powerful nations of the world, the United States and Great Britain. At the annual dinner of the Economic Club held in Boston May 11). the Baron dc Con- stant. founder and president of the International Conciliation ssociation, a member of the Hague court representing France, and Dr. Iycnaga, speaking for Japan, both advocated world-wide ar- bitration as a preventive of war. Germany surely will not lag behind the other na'.i ms. The star which rose above the horizon in the last half century is approaching the zenith: universal peace is in sight. Classmates! Do you ask of what moment to us is this picture of a time in which the clash of arms and the thrill of military enthusiasm are for- ever absent? Nay. even, perhaps, you are think- ing it is all too quiet to be attractive. Not so, “Peace has her victories no less renowned than those of war.” Who can adequately picture the enlarged op- portunities of the day of universal peace? If hail the amount now wasted in America in preparing ourselves for improbable wars was devoted to public improvements, or public education, to the associated charities, to settlement work, or to ihe cause of temperance, if the splendid talent and ability now wasted in mere military life could be devoted to civic and economic problems, what visions of the past might be realized! If the an- nual cost of gunboats alone was applied to the roads of the country they would bring more than a courteous sneer from the Baron de Constant. If applied to education it would go far to realize Dr. Eliot's prediction that universities will yet be free to all. as arc our high schools. If applied to the suppression of vice, to the elimination of pre- ventable diseases, how safe and sane all the days of the year would become, and we should have, in deed, and not in name only, the age of the Broth- erhood of Man. Classmates, are we ready for these great oppor- tunities? In an address given last year before a graduating class in a neighboring city the speaker said:— “You have finished your course. You have gained a high school education. You are ready for life.” Are you ready? The city has wasted its money on you if, knowing the weight of the hydro- genatom, as related to other atoms, you do nor know the relation of yourselves to your fellow be- ings in society: if you do not fall in with the rhythm of the moral order; if, able to subtract a large quantity from a small quantity by algebraic symbols, you cannot keep your hands off what does not belong to you; if, qualified to speak ele- gant English and understanding electricity, you will tell lies in fine language, or repeat malicious detraction over the telephone; if, aware of the dangers of polluted waters, you are unaware of the more awful peril of a polluted mind. Here is the test of education: “The will to obey the laws of God. the laws of society, the law of love to your neighbor.” One of the lessons most frequently and most emphatically put before us in our high school has been the lesson of civic duty. Ye have been for four years learning to be good citizens in the little community of school and class that we might be ready to go out to become citizens of a general community. As to-day we plant the ivy, type of remem- brance. let it symbolize to us remembrance of the lesson taught. The city which has been so gener- ous to us—the instructors whose good will we take with us—the parents, whose hope we are— will ask no larger appreciation, no better return from us than that we practice well this lesson. In an age that holds the promise of universal peace, I summon you to a warfare. Let us go forth warring against the world’s wide evils, nobler field than Waterloo. Hold fast to the principles we have gained, and whatever the de- feats by the way. whatever the limitations we may discover within ourselves, we shall not fail, but we shall yet stand up. “the soldiers of ultimate vic- tory.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATO 23« $. 6. fi. 5.

Masel fx Pearson, '12 ELLO, Jack!” I cried cheerily, as I threw off my overcoat, ‘’this open fire does feel good after coming in from that,” and I pointed out of the window, where the huge white flakes were hurled to and fro by the blasts of a bleak northeast wind. It was the eleventh of February, 18—, a night long remembered by some because of the havoc wrought by the storm, but never forgotten by me because of the en- suing events. I settled down before the fire in one of the deep leather chairs which made my friend’s bachelor apartments so pleasant, pulled out a cigar, and puffed away in perfect contentment. “It’s a bully storm, I remarked from the depths of my chair, “and there will be some interesting sights to- morrow.” “Yes,” replied Jack, quietly, “ if we are here to see it.” I turned to him sharply. “Have you any doubts of that?” I laughed. “Yes,” responded my friend shortly. About a pint of smoke went down my throat in my astonishment; and, in the discomfort of the next few moments, I quite ignored Jack’s reply. Then, wiping my streaming eyes, 1 turned to him. Old man,” 1 asked anxiously, aren’t you a bit morbid? Or has some fair lady turned you down? Come, now, out with it—who is she?” Rut, perceiving the look on his face, I ceased my bantering. I leaned over solicitously, peering into his face: and, putting my hand on his arm. I asked, What is it. Jack?” Dick. ” he returned, in a tone I had never heard before, “Dick, you're the best friend I’ve got, and what’s more, you’ve been a true friend for fifteen years—ever since Baker------” There, Jack, that's enough. Let Baker rest.” He laughed rather shakily. “All right, old fellow, but, Dick,” in a serious voice, I'm going to tell you a story because you are my friend—a story I’ve never breathed to another living soul— something which has weighed me down ever since I was old enough to comprehend what it meant. Dick,” he cried feverishly, now pacing up and down in his excitement, “you don’t know what it means to have such a horror hanging over your life—to have all your thoughts shape themselves into one hideous idea—to be always present, al- ways, Dick, al----” Jack, sit down! I commanded sternly. What I said fifteen years ago holds good now. If you go on like this you know what will happen. Come,” 1 went on in a more friendly tone, if you want to unburden your mind, do it now. As you said. I’m your friend, as well as your physician, and you may trust me.” I pushed him back in his chair, poked the fire and settling myself so that I might watch his coun- tenance, said. Well, go ahead, and get it over.” And so lie told me his story. Dick, my grand- father was born in 1787, four years after the. war ended. When he was only nineteen he married the daughter of the wealthiest man of his town, a very beautiful girl, who had many suitors. One- of these, a quick-tempered, high-strung lad„ openly made the remark that he could have mar- ried the girl if John Wilton, my grandfather, had not resorted to underhanded means and slandered his character by base insinuations. Moreover, he added that John Wilton had better be cautious, very cautious, or----. Well. Dick, he brooded over his disappointment until his mind began to lie affected. The result was. that one night while- coming through the wood lot on his way home from the mill. Grandfather was attacked by a masked foe: and. to save his own life, was forced to use his pistol. The shot was fatal; and. in his last breath, the poor demented lad. fur it was he., cried that he would haunt Grandfather to his dying day. and would eventually cause his death.. Of course, no blame was attached to Grand- father, for his standing in the community was of the highest; but frequently after the event Grand- father complained of seeing shapes when he looked out of the corner of his eye. They al- ways took the form of a tall young lady, clad in long flowing garments; but, on turning to get a closer view, Grandfather said she always vanished,, so that he could not obtain a clear picture of her face. His people attributed this t � the disturbed condition of his mind, for he always thought that in some way he might have avoided killing his rival. Two years after that my father was born ; and in two more years. 1 s 1 g. Grandfather went to the war. When he returned. Grandmother was; struck by his queer appearance; his face was 234 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR drawn and thin as if lie had undergone some severe mental strain, and though but twenty-four years old. his hair had grown prematurely gray. Grandmother questioned him closely, but re- ceived no satisfaction as to the reason for his condition. “A few months after his return. Grandmother was awakened one night by a crash. She ran from her room, but met only an ominous silence. She listened a few moments, and then heard a sound of deep breathing nearby. Creeping into her husband’s room, she found his bed empty, and when she again ran to the hall, she perceived a huddled form at the head of the stairs. It was Grandfather, and his hair was matted with blood from a deep gash in his head, where, presumably, he had struck the sharp corner of the stair when he fell. In some way site managed to drag him to his room, where she bathed and bound his head. About dawn he regained consciousness: and at his first movement. Grandmother, who had main- tained her composure all this time, burst into tears, and. rushing to his bedside, cried. John. John, what happened to you? Tell me. John!' ‘It's all right. Mary.' answered Grandfather, ‘she called me and I had to go, I had to go, I had to----and he again lost consciousness. “At daylight. Grandmother succeeded in sum- moning a neighbor’s boy. who quickly secured a doctor. By evening Grandfather was again him- self. and the next day apparently as well as ever. Then Grandmother again ventured to question him. He stopped her with a gesture. ‘Mary. he said, ‘you've got to know some day. so I might as well tell you now. One night, just before I came home, my sleep was disturbed by the vision •of a woman, tall and graceful, with long, billowy clothing. Her face was very indistinct, but. Mary. I recognized the shape which has haunted me so much ! She said she came as a warning, and that she would appear twice more: but that on the third time she appeared she would take me with her. Then she seemed to recede from me, and I must have sprung up in my sleep to follow her. for when I awoke. I found myself outside nu- tent. and the next day the boys were curiously asking the cause of this.’ and he pointed signifi- cantly to his hair. ‘Last night. Mary, she came again, and in my sleep I sprang up to answer her call. I must have stumbled on the stairs. She comes only once more, Mary.’ “Grandmother, who was a practical woman, was inclined to scoff at her husband: but on Febru- ary 11. 1 SI I, while he and Grandmother were en- joying the comforts of a fire such as this. Grand- father suddenly jumped to his feet, dropping his book with a bang. Glancing up to determine the reason for this movement. Grandmother was terri- fied at his expression. His face was strained and deadly white, his eyes seemed to be popping from his head, and his mouth worked nervously. He seemed rooted to the spot, but suddenly the rigidity left his body. lie lurched toward the door, crying. ‘Wait, wait. I'm coming!' and passed out into the snow: and when Grandmother had recovered sufficiently to follow him. she found that her son was fatherless. For there, face down- ward on the snow, lay Grandfather—dead.” Jack stopped. I wiped the beads of nervous perspiration from my forehead, and slightly re- laxed my limbs, which had unconsciously stiffened. Strange to say. Jack seemed entirely unaffected by his recital: but. as I regarded him. I noticed a tightening of the lips, and a clenching of his fists as he prepared to continue. Wait a minute. Jack, I said, as 1 leaned over and rang the bell for his valet. When he appeared I asked: “Jenkins, any brandy in the house? Yes, sir. “Very good. Bring me in a wineglassful. Yes, sir, and out he went. What in thunder! exclaimed Jack. I smiled a bit. In a moment Jenkins returned. I took the tiny glass and handed it to my friend. Drink it before you go on. I said. He started to expostulate, but a word from me to the effect that I was his physician silenced his objections. “Although I don't see why 1 should, he re- marked when he had finished it. You yourself look as if you needed it more. When Jenkins had retired lie continued. “My father, a boy of four years when Grand- father died, grew up without being told the story of his father’s tragic death. When a boy of six- teen he was sent away to school by his maternal grandfather, who had taken his daughter to live with him. He had been away but a short time, when his mother was startled at receiving a letter from him. in which he complained that the con- stant study, which he was obliged to do to mam- tain a high standing in his class, was ruining his eyes, for he was greatly annoyed by shapes ap- pearing about him. At the end of that term he returned home, and was greatly disappointed to learn that thereafter he was to have a private tutor to alleviate the strain on his eyes caused by overstudy. Yet this new method did not cease the annoyance. In fact, he continued to see SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 235 these indefinite ‘shapes.’ as he described them, until he was nearly twenty. Then for about ten years they ceased. Meantime he had married, and twin sons were born, myself and brother I'Ted. who died when he was five years old. “About four months after my brother and 1 were born, my father again was seized with his old trouble, which he thought had entirely disap- peared. Then one day he told my mother a strange tale of being disturbed by a vision of a young woman who tried to lure him from his of- fice. Just as he was springing up to follow her. she vanished, so he told Mother ; and, although he followed her outside the door, he could find no traces of her. When his mother was told of this, she immediately summoned her son: and. after an hour’s talk with her. he returned home—an old man within the short period of an hour. A month later a second vision appeared, this time at night, and he followed it to the stairs, where he was luckily stopped by my mother, who had heard him running down the hallway. Then he told her what he realized was to be his fate, and on Febru- ary 11. 183!). Mother was awakened by a cry. She ran quickly from her room ; there w as my father at the head of the stairs, and even in the dim light afforded by the night lamp. Mother could see that something was wrong. She took him by the arm. saying: ‘Come. Jack, go back to bed. There's nothing wrong, is there?’ He shook her off ; gave one cry. ‘I'm coming! Wait. I'm com- ing!' and plunged down the stairway—dead. A sudden gust of wind rattled the window panes furiously, and screeched down the chimneys. Jack glanced around nervously. “Why can’t they keep still? he muttered, as he rose and drew the heavy curtains. He did not resume his seat again, but paced back and forth before the fire, his head bent, and his hands clasped behind his back. As I mentioned before, my brother died when five years old. I’m glad he did. 1 only wish I had, but I was a strong lad. and grew rapidly, i went to college—worked my way through—and after working a number of years for a friend of my father's. I bought out his business, borrowing some money from my grandfather; and. as you know. I made a success of the work. 1 hen, fif- teen years ago, came Baker. Xo, I shan't get ex- cited. as 1 made a gesture of disapproval, but this is a necessary point in my story. For a cer- tain reason, one that you know nothing of. he at- tempted to ruin me. and, Dick, all during that awful week of anxiety and misery. I could sec vague shapes closing in about me. Perhaps that, more than anything else, w-as what caused my breakdown, for I had been told this horrible story. However, when I once more got upon my feet, these phantoms ceased—ceased until a year ago. Last June, the first of the three visits was paid to me; in October came the second. A long pause. Then. Dick, this is the eleventh of February. I cleared my throat. ‘ Sit down, will you, Jack? He did so. Stay there a minute. and I went out into the hall, procured my case, and re- turned. “Ever had your heart examined? I asked him. Xo. What for? Well. I'm going to examine it now. I re- turned. as I fitted my stethoscope together. “What for?” To see if there's any trouble there. Was your father or grandfather affected at all? Xo. no! But what's the use of all this. Dick? I know you're a practical person—of course you consider that this is bosh; but have reason to believe that such things as I have been telling you do happen. Nevertheless, he permitted me to make the examination. To my great perplexity. 1 could detect no weakness, even after a thorough test. I sighed as I placed the instrument back in its case. Xo trouble there. Jack. “( f course not. Dick. Sit down again. I thought a minute. As Jack had said. I was a practical person. It was hard to believe that such events as those could be attributed to the mere curse of a dying maniac. But I was obliged to give up the puzzle. Who was the person who- was killed by your grandfather? I asked casually. For a moment Jack did not answer. Then lie- replied slowly: “His name was Baker—Arnold Baker. “Arnold Baker, I repeated slowly, “where have I—Arnold Baker! Great Scott. Jack, was he any relation to the Arnold Baker of fifteen years back? His great uncle. Jack answered, reluctantly. That accounts for it. I mused. But. seri- ously. Jack, do you take any stock in your story? “I do. Dick. So much stock that ten years ago I went abroad, when you were west, so that I might not yield to the temptation and marry the girl I loved. I never told her the reason, but. Dick. I felt sure this would come some day. and I couldn’t ruin her life, although I know she-- Jack paused. A sudden shriek of the wind rang through the house; the curtains blew wildly, as though moved by an unseen hand. 236 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 1 looked up to see what delayed Jack's speech, and was suddenly frozen with horror in my chair. I felt my hair rise on end as 1 viewed him. and when I essayed to speak I seemed paralyzed. Jack had half risen from his seat; his eyes had a frozen, .glassy appearance, and were bulging from their .sockets; his face was nearly purple, as if his breath had been cut off. As I sat powerless, he slowly rose, wavered a moment, and swayed toward the door, crying: “Wait, wait! I'm com- ing.” A chilling wind swept into the room. Sud- denly all was dark, but for a luminous glow that hung by the door. Then a door banged, and in an instant my apathy was shaken from me. Im- mediately the room was flooded with light, and I ran into the hall and plunged down stairs. Hat- less, coatless, breathless. I rushed out into the storm. A few feet from the steps lay what was once my friend, but now a lifeless body. 1 am no longer “practical.” --------------- tLbe “Xast Ibope” for Jacqueline JBv? u-tuiar %. Tkaula, ]£., '12 lS, sir. the man that marries my daughter must show me a bank ac- count of twenty thousand dollars! “Twenty thousand dollars!” It seemed to Earl Canfield as if he had been sentenced to life imprisonment. Twenty thousand dollars? Why, lie had hardly twenty thousand cents! His brain seemed numbed and he mumbled, incoherently: Only think of her happiness, Mr. Merrill, she loves me. “I know it. my boy. and I am thinking of her happiness. I believe in you and I believe you will succeed, but I must make that one condition. If you can fulfil it. there is no man on earth to whom 1 would be more willing to see Jacqueline wedded. I am truly sorry for you. Earl, and I sincerely hope your invention will bring you the required sum. Canfield reached slowly for his hat. still dazed. He pushed open the door and stumbled blindly out into the darkness of a rainy night in the latter part of June. The clouds raced by unceasingly above; the street lamps shone dimly. Without noticing his destination, he took the first street- car that came past. It was empty, and he fell, rather than sat. on the cushioned seat. Twenty thousand dollars. The sum seemed to weigh upon him as so many pounds of lead. Was it not possible to obtain it some way? Men- ially he ran over his list of friends. X’o. his credit had been stretched to its limit. As he fumbled for his fare, his fingers touched a small box in his pocket. He drew it forth, clumsily, and opened it. Resting on the dark velvet lay a ring in which a single diamond glistened. It had been intended for Jacqueline, but now all hope was gone. Sadly he shut the box and thrust it back into its former resting place. A call from the conductor brought him to his feet; it was the end of the route. As he stepped from the car he walked absent- mindedly on. I� y chance he had taken the very car on which he usually went to his work every morning, and his feet led him on mechanically with no assistance from his mind. He turned down a side street, and stopped before a large shed or barn. In its rear stretched a high board fence surrounding a large field. In the lone win- dow of the shed shone a light and this fact brought Canfield to his senses. Why was there this light? Then he remembered. His mechani- cian. Jack Connely, had promised to give the machine a last look for the morning trials. He opened the door quietly and stepped inside. There was his last hope. Like some great pre- historic bird the huge biplane stood, graceful and powerful. In its construction had been placed the last penny, and all the experience gained in five years of exhibition flying. Many had been the crowds Canfield had startled and caused to shudder, but for two years he had forsaken the daring flights that had made him famous, to de- vote his whole time to perfect the plans he had made from his bountiful knowledge. Gradually his force of helpers had diminished as his re- sources grew less until, at last, only Connely, faithful and trusting, remained. Jack was somewhat astonished to see the young aviator, but assigned his visit to anxiety for the machine. “Everything’s fine, he said, heartily. “What do you think of that offer in the World-Record? Safe enough, eh? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 237 ‘ What offer?” asked Canfield. ‘‘Why, the New York-C'hicago offer, of course. Haven't you seen it? They give two weeks’ time, and it's an impossibility! “What’s this vour talking about. Jack, any- way? queried Earl. In reply the mechanician silently handed him a newspaper. ()n the first page appeared in blaz- ing red:— $25,000 Prize FLYING CONTEST OF THE CENTURY and below in smaller type:— “The New York World-Record offers a prize of $25,000 to the first person who makes a trip from New York, N. Y., to Chicago, 111., by air in an aeroplane. The conditions imposed are that the flight be accomplished before July 1 of this year, and that one passenger must be carried. It went on stipulating minor conditions, and stated that M. Jean de Gournay, the well-known French air-man. had already expressed his willing- ness to contest. As Canfield dropped the paper his eyes shone with the bright light of determina- tion and he said slowly:— Jack. I’ve got to have that twenty-five thou- sand. The mechanician started, dropped a wrench, and stuttered. “Y-you-you don't mean that you're going to take up that fool offer, do you? Why. great Scott, man, it’s a good seven hundred miles to Chicago on an air line. That means, even at a hundred miles an hour, you will be seven hours in the air; and with a passenger, too. Take it from me, it won’t be done for a few years yet!’’ “I realize all that. Jack, but I'm going to try it and succeed or die in the attempt. It isn't as bad as you think, just look here. He plunged into a storm of technical phrases, in which speeds, weights, and resistances played important parts. You know. Jack, he concluded. We’ve built the ‘Last Hope’ for long distance work and she's best with a passenger. You know all about her from ‘a to z.’ and I think there’s a fighting chance. Yes, replied Connely, slowly, but I'm a mar- ried man, Mr. Canfield, and----- You won’t desert me now. Jack, old boy, cried Canfield in desperation. “It means my life, my all, Jack, please! The mechanician paused at his work. You can have five thousand of the purse. All 1 want is twenty thousand dollars!” Money doesn’t matter. Mr. Canfield, replied Connely quietly. I can see that you're not after the money alone, either. There’s something that's none of my business, but I realize that it means a lot to you. You saved my life once, sir, and I’ll risk it again for you. Canfield jumped to his mechanician’s side, and grasped his hands, his eyes dim. “Thank you, Jack, thank you. he gulped, filled with emotion. Until an early hour of the next morning, the light shone in the shed window. Within, the young aviator and his faithful assistant toiled over plans for appliances with which to enable the Last Hope to bring happiness to the daring in- ventor. The days flew rapidly by. M. de Gournay had already set the date on which he intended to make the attempt, and it was now but two days off. Canfield and Connely had also decided to fly on that day. and on the night of June 27, one week before the contest closed, they locked the door of the shed where the Last Hope had been con- structed, and walked happily away. The machine itself stood proudly in its hangar on the starting ground. Everything was prepared and ready ; every wire tested; the engine, a powerful ten- cylinder affair, ran perfectly. The weather re- ports were favorable. Connely was trained and practiced in the duties he was to perform while in the air, for Canfield had laid a plan whereby the passenger would not be a helpless burden, but could aid the driver. Jacqueline had watched the procedings with intense interest, which her father shared, and had once gone up with Canfield on a trial trip. Canfield and Connely strode lightly towards the trolley line. A car was just starting and they ran headlong in an endeavor to board it. Connely was first, and too late Canfield saw his danger. A large touring car, driven at top speed, swung around a corner. Before Connely could escape, it struck him. and rushed on in a cloud of dust through which a drunken laugh floated back. Canfield, with a cry, sprang to his mechanician’s side. The poor fellow lay helpless in the road un- able to arise. The machine had thrown him to one side in such a manner that his arm was pinned beneath his body: the member was plainly broken, and an ambulance was summoned. The following morning Canfield walked dis- consolately to the shed. Connely's flying was out of the question. All hope was gone. It would be impossible to train another, and still be able to enter the contest. The $20,000 were farther off 238 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR than ever. He buried his head in his arms de- sparing. A soft touch on Iiis shoulder aroused him. Lifting his head slowly, his eyes met those of Jacqueline. Earl,” she said, they tell me Connely is hurt and the last chance is gone ’ Canfield nodded in silent assent. Isn’t there anything that can be done? Isn't there someone who can go? Karl. she cried, let me. I know what you taught Jack ! You. Jacquc, you ’ he cried. Never, little girl. It’s a struggle with death the whole while with a slim, a very slim fighting chance. Please. Karl. she pleaded, please. I can do it I know, and if there’s an accident------- She paused and then continued softly: We shall be togetoer, anyway.” The young aviator, filled with conflicting emo- tions, grasped her hand in silent acceptance of her offer. All day he coached her and instructed her, and with her previous experience she proved an apt pupil. Mr. Merrill had been called away sud- denly on business, so he knew nothing of Con- nely’s accident or Jacqueline’s proposed flight. The following morning, the “Last Hope was wheeled from the hangar and took its place be- side the powerful French monoplane. The two aviators tossed a coin, and the Frenchman decided that Canfield should ascend first. Jacqueline climbed bravely to the scat, while Canfield in- spected the engine. A small hamper was fastened to the back of the driving seat and in it were placed stimulants, compressed food, and a Ther- mos flask. 'I’lie daring girl and the aviator were heavily clothed. At last Canfield climbed to his seat. Crank her. he called. The pistol-like reports of the engine roared out as the propellors whirled. In the rear the mechanicians of the foreigner, who had generously offered their services, grasped the tail. Are you ready, sir? roared the starter. Canfield waved his hand. Stand aside, everyone, yelled the official. Let er go! As a hound let loose in sight of the quarry, the huge machine bounded across the level grass. Then as she lightly rose, a cheer rang from the crowd and the band played, The Star Spangled Banner. as the stars and stripes fluttered out on the tail. M. de Gournay was already preparing, and a few minutes after their departure, the crew of the Last Mope heard another cheer which they knew signified that the monoplane was in the air. Canfield devoted all his attention to the ma- chine. while Jacqueline endeavored bravely to per- form her duties. The mighty engine drove them forward at a stupendous rate, so that the rush of air made Jacqueline gasp. Higher and higher they mounted until the earth seemed lost. Then suddenly Canfield threw forward the steering wheel. The machine slowly tilted, then rushed downward on a long slant. Jacqueline could hardly breathe, so great was the speed brought by this manoeuvre. Canfield realized that he could obtain greater speed on these long gliding descents. Therefore, their flight became a series of ascensions t high altitudes and then dash- ing earthward at a terrific rate. At one time Jacqueline caught a glimpse through the clouds of a black speck below them. Canfield also noticed it and spoke for the first time. The Frenchman, he grunted. It was. indeed, de Gournay. who was bravely fighting forward. lie was soon lost to sight again, and the pair turned once more to their machine. As they proceeded ever higher and higher, it became biting cold. Even through their thick clothing they could feel the terrible sting of the wind. Canfield offered her the steam- ing Thermos flask, but the warm liquid only seemed to make the cold even more bitter. Their limbs became numb. Where the cap exposed their faces, the flesh was red and swollen. It seemed to Jacqueline as if they had been flying for years. Her head beat with the whirring thrum of the propellor. Thus they rushed on for hours. Her senses be- came befogged, but she noticed with amazement that after one of the long glides they were not again ascending. Then she caught a glimpse of the earth. Vaguely she could make out the build- ings of some large city, and farther away lay a sparkling body of water like the ocean. She glanced at Canfield. His face was set in hard lines and he held the wheel in a grip of iron. Sud- denly she heard a sputter behind her. Then the engine began to skip. Canfield turned. Great Scott! she heard him mutter. Ihe huge propellor seemed to be slowing. Then the machine seemed to drop from under her. Her breath stopped and all was black------ When she regained consciousness, she lay on the ground, surrounded by a crowd. A little to the right she could make out the broken wings and twisted wires of what had been an aeroplane. Someone was bathing her temples. Karl. Earl! she cried, is the last hope gone?” “Yes. dear. came the answer, the Last Hope’ is gone, but we have won. And he gently placed the diamond ring on her finger. 240 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Hnnettc ant tbe JSlack Dovse .115v� Iba.scl 1R. Cobb, X., ’ll XXETTE, bluc-eycd and brown- haired, was at twelve years of age a merry, mischievous girl, with a great love for daring sports. We were girls together in the little old village school, and the best of chums, although Annette was a little younger than I. She was sweet, fascinating, and the acknowl- edged leader of the school. We all loved her, Miss Sherman perhaps the most of all. Hut with all her charm, Annette was incorrigible, absolutely incorrigible; we had to acknowledge that. She would climb trees, jump fences, play baseball like a boy. while horses, the wildest and most uncer- tain horses, were her delight. She always rode bareback; there was not a horse in the village which she had not tamed. The boys, of course, admired her, and urged her on to more daring feats. Xo baseball team was complete without Annette. We girls, looking on in wondering silence, eagerly applauded. lint Annette’s mother suffered most. There were dresses to be mended, wrists and ankles to be bound up: she could never be sure of Annette, and of course there was always the secret fear that something dreadful might happen. One morning old Xed come galloping down the road, Annette on his back, as usual. Her hair was streaming, and her blue eyes sparkling with fun and excitement. At the schoolhousc gate she tumbled off. Oh, girls! she cried. “It's too good to be true! Uncle Joe has bought a great, beautiful black horse, and he’s promised that 1 shall ride him! lie’s a little wild just now. but he’ll soon be tamed down, and then-------.’’ Her face was radiant with anticipation. Suddenly her voice grew serious. Hut girls. she said. I do wish that you liked to do the things—that I love, like riding and fishing and----. She suddenly glanced down at her shoe; the sole had been ripped off. Her skirt was spattered with mud. and there was a cut on her hand. I’m ashamed, she said slowly. I fell off down at the meadow road. It wasn’t Xed’s fault —she glanced lovingly at the big. brown horse— but— I can’t go into school like this. Her lips quiv- ered, and we thought she would cry. This seemed strange in Annette. Helen. —she turned to me and threw her arm about my neck,— do you know, I wish I were more like you, like all of you girls. I’m so different, always getting into trouble. Mother and dad are discouraged, trying to make anything out of me. She laughed a little, and we tried to cheer her up. At that moment we heard the bell, and An- nette ran off to get Xed. She always led him around to her uncle’s barn just back of the school. Mr. Allen used Xed in the fields during the day. That morning Miss Sherman entertained a visi- tor. a most charming young lady from her home town. We girls fell in love with her at once. An- nette, openly displayed her admiration for the new- comer. At recess the boys played baseball, and they begged Annette to join them. She came in from the game with a great tear in her dress, and with her hair tumbling down her back. As we came in through the door we heard Miss Sherman talking. She is the dearest girl in the school, but fear- fully reckless, plays baseball and rides horseback daringly. Some days she.seems like a wild In- dian: her clothes are always in tatters. I’m really worried about her. We heard a merry laugh. I glanced at An- nette: her head was hidden, and she was crying as if her heart would break. Oh. Helen. she sobbed, and Miss Lowell will sec me like this, I can’t—I can’t have her laugh at me and think— how reckless and foolish I am. Helen.’’ her eyes shone with the thoughts of a great resolve, I’m going to be different, for just a week. I’m going to give up playing with the boys and jumping fences and,—and give up riding the horses, give up riding Xed.” Her voice broke. I shall be good and proper and neat for just once in my life. If I find it’s a good plan —she laughed a little— then I’ll keep right on—being dignified. For one week Annette was neat, prim, and proper. It was hard for her to give up her be- loved sports, but she did nobly: we were all proud of her. She walked with us girls at recess and spent the afternoons on the piazza, sewing indus- triously. and thereby gladdening the heart of her mother. There were no more baseball games, no more torn skirts, no more daring horseback rides. Miss Sherman was radiantly happy. ()nc afternoon Annette saw the beautiful black SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR horse, the horse she had hoped some day to ride. “()h, the beauty!'' she cried. And I can't—Uncle Joe says he isn't safe to ride yet: lie's made me promise not to try him. Besides,”—she gave a long, deep sigh—“I’ve given up all that fun!” It was Friday noon. We had come in early from recess. Annette and I. She was,to show me about some arithmetic, and we were sitting quietly at our desks. .Miss Sherman had gone to the closet to get some books. Suddenly we heard a sharp cry. We both jumped nervously, and Annette ran to the closet. “Helen.” she cried quickly. “Miss Sherman has hurt herself! She—oh, she is fainting!” I hurried to the closet. There lay Miss Sher- man on the floor, her face white, her wrist and arm bleeding. “Helen, get some water, and call in the boys!” Annette's tone was frightened; she loved Miss Sherman. The boys came running in. and some water was brought in a pail. Miss Sherman soon gained consciousness, but we could sec that she was in great pain. Harry Leonard took charge of affairs. “We've got to get a doctor here in mighty quick time! She's sprained her wrist, and there’s a fearful cut on her arm.” Annette had sprung to her feet and was running out through the side door to the yard. In a mo- ment more she was back again, and we saw through the open window the head of a big black- horse. “()h, girls!” I screamed. “She's going to rule that horse, the wild one! Stop her, stop her, please!” We all ran out. begging Annette to give up the rash plan. “You promised your uncle! I cried. “You know that horse isn't safe! You'll kill yourself, Annette: don’t, don't go!” But she turned to us almost fiercely. I will go! I shan’t see Miss Sherman suffer like that. 24 I can ride him. don't worry about me. Uncle Joe won't care—he can’t care—there's not another horse in the barn! She had jumped to the back of the great beast,, and was flying off down the road. The black horse reared and pranced: Annette clung to his neck. From the schoolhouse gate we watched breathlessly. There was a cloud of dust, then we could see no more. The girls turned pale with fright, the boys started off down the road, running and calling. There was no Annette to be seen. Half an hour later a carriage came up the hill. The doctor was driving; beside him. on the black horse, rode Annette, her face white, but her big- blue eyes shining. We cheered madly: Annette, the idol of the school, was safe! Doctor Xelson helped her down from the horse. Boys and girls. he said proudly, “this girl. An- nette. is a wonder! Rode that wild beast to the village, that great black horse--- Annette! we cried in one breath. Annette’s voice rang with triumph. “I was. sure I could do it. girls! But, oh. her voice was anxious, where—where is Miss Sherman? When her wrist had been bandaged and some of the pain had left her face. Miss Sherman called Annette to her side. Annette. she said brokenly, you arc a.dear girl. It was noble of you to go. but. oh —she shuddered and held her close— if you hadn't come back. Annette! We all gathered about our heroine, who was talking excitedly. “Helen. she said, my week is up, and I—I'm going back to my old ways. You won't mind, dear. Xot quite so reckless, but I — I can’t give up the horses and the games, and I'm going back to torn dresses and lost hair-rib- bons and jumping fences, and—and the old times!” We cheered for Annette again and again, and the old walls echoed with the sound. The next day, at recess, Annette played baseball. 242 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Sccibent or Suicide? Xestcr Srigbain, ]£., ‘14 ALSEX Murray walked on oblivious of the things about him. To be sure there was not much to notice— nothing but trees, vines, shrubbery, other forest life, and a faint, narrow path—things that he had seen year 15ut to a person who studied and ad- mired nature these things would have meant a good deal. Calsen was thinking and whistling, lie never thought without this accompaniment, and by the way he was making the woods ring with his whistling he must have been thinking very deeply. His train of thought was suddenly interrupted, as was his whistling, by the sound of a shot not far away. Stopping quickly in the path he could hear the sound of the shot echoing and vibrating among the hills. He resumed his walk after a moment with less haste than before, and fre- quently gazed about him as if seeking an answer to the sound of the shot. To his knowledge noth- ing was worth shooting in those woods, and his knowledge of the territory in that section was al- most perfect. He had walked but a short distance and was letting the matter slip from his mind when a sharp crackling of the bushes at his right caused him to look in that direction. Trotting toward him as swiftly as the hindrances in his path would permit came a huge, light brown, long-haired collie. On catching sight of Calsen the animal stopped, hesi- tated, and then seeing no hostile movement on the boy's part, approached him with wagging tail and other evidences of friendliness. Pile dog’s tongue lumg far out of his mouth, and he was panting vigorously. The day was not hot. so Calsen reasoned that the dog must have come a long dis- tance. The boy stroked the huge animal’s head, and as if he thought the dog could understand, asked him how far he had come. His only answer was an- other shaking of his tail, and trying to regain his lost breath, the panting animal sank down at the boy’s feet. As the dog lay down Calsen noticed a dark red blotch on one of his shaggy flanks. Touching it with his hand he found it was damp, and on fur- ther examination he saw that it was blood. The boy was now thoroughly excited, for the shot and the dog with the bloody flank seemed in some way connected. Carefully going over the animal Calsen could find no wound, so he realized that the blood must have come from some other source. Calsen was now determined to find out the cause of the shot. Turning from the path into tilt- woods in the direction from which the dog had come, he followed as best he could the indistinct trail which the dog had left. The animal trotted on a short distance ahead, turning now and then to see if the boy was following. Calsen walked on for a long distance, not knowing where lie was going, and yet feeling sure he should find some- thing at the end of the trail. At last after winding in and out among the fallen branches and trees he suddenly came upon a sight which made him sick at heart. At the foot of a group of stately pines lay a well-dressed mid- dle-aged man with one leg doubled under him ; a large, jagged wound in his forehead showed just below his matted hair. After standing a moment and gazing in horror at the sight, Calsen silently approached the rigid form and saw that the star- ing eyes were set and glazed. The man was dead! Partly protruding from beneath his body was the stock of a double-barrelled shot gun. The dog mournfully approached the silent figure, and lving down beside it. gravely began to lick the stony features. This silent tribute of love for the dead shown by the dumb animal was too much for the boy. and tears came to his eyes. It seemed as if the dog’s spirit had departed with that of the dead. l lie waning afternoon sun reflecting on a metal plate hidden amidst the hair on the dog’s neck ex- cited Calsen’s attention. Calling the dog to him. he parted the thick hair and read: “Property of James V. Mellen. Acadia, X. V.’’ The approaching dusk roused. Calsen from his reverie, and warned him he would have to leave the scene of death. Casting one last look at the silent picture lie turned to retrace his steps with a leaden heart. The dog. loth to leave the silent form, sorrowfully returned to the side of what was once his master, while the branches of the inter- locked pines swayed and murmured above the two beneath. after year.

He stood uncertain a moment, and then ran down the stairs and into the guard room. “Do any of you fellows know Chinese? he said. No one responded. You are a bunch of rubes from way back. Why in thunder don’t you know somethin'? What are you here for anyway? and away stormed the lieu- tenant in search of a scholar of the Oriental gib- berish. leaving the men behind him grinning at •one another in grim appreciation. Ericson stormed into the office of the post. then, upon catching sight of the figure at the board, brought his heels together with a click and sa- luted. The operator turned in his chair and an- swered the salute, then asked briefly: You come to report? Yes. sir. Captain Parker is severely wounded. ‘‘Very well, fire away.

He’s all right. I’ve noticed that you do not care for him. but he has been in our service longer than you yourself, and he has the confidence of all of us. Very well, sir. Ericson concluded his report, leaving out entirely any mention of Long John and his own discovery of another road. Ericson fumed and fretted about the barracks all the next day. He even attempted to make some of the prisoners translate the paper for him. but finally gave it up. concluding that if they did translate it it would be in such a way as to throw him off the track. Then something occurred which showed Ericson and the garrison how much importance was attached to this message. III. Early in the morning of the day after Ericson’s attempt to discover the contents of the message the surgeon entered the chamber in which Parker lay. and found him still unconscious. He was very greatly puzzled over this, and beginning at once to test the breathing of the young captain, he found to his amazement that Parker had been drugged during the night. He hastened at once to the office to report, where he found Eric- son on guard duty, and as he was the only person in the office at the time, reported to him. The Dane nearly went mad with anger and disap- pointment. How long will it be now before he is con- scious? he asked. “I don’t know. If it is a common drug he will recover shortly, but—by Jove. I believe I have the remains of the drug. lie cried, suddenly jumping to his feet. Come over to the room with me now, Ericson, and I’ll test some of it.” ‘‘What do you mean? Ericson queried, arising also. How and where did you find it? Wholly by accident.” the surgeon responded as they left the office and started for the barracks. I was going out of my room this morning on my way to the hospital, when one of the privates, Miller. I believe, called to me to come and inform him what sort of a reptile lie had found. He was then about four or five yards from the guard- house, between it and the barracks. I am some- what of an authority on reptiles, and I soon satis- fied his queries, and was about to go on my way to the hospital when I noticed a glint in the grass, and stooping. I picked up a small vial half full of a dull, muddy liquid. The two were now entering the surgeon’s room, and stepping to a table, the latter picked up a small vial and passed it to Ericson. “There’s the liquid; now we will proceed to in- vestigate. He took the vial, and pouring a small quantity of the liquid from it into a mixing cup, placed the cup over a small alcohol lamp; then, taking down a bottle from the shelf, he poured some strong acid into the murky liquid, and as Ericson watched, suddenly the murky substance became clearer and still clearer until the liquid in the cup was as clear as water. Fascinated. Ericson turned to the surgeon, “Well, what is it? he asked. Great heavens, Ericson, it’s the damned Chinks again. “Wh—why, what do you mean? SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 245 This is the strongest of Chinese drugs. If the whole contents of this vial had been given to Parker we should have a corpse on our hands now. As it is. at the earliest he will not become conscious for three days. Well, who did it. and how did they get at him. and what did they do it for? came the rapid-fire questioning of the amazed lieutenant. One at a time, please. the surgeon said dryly. Who did it? Well. 1 should imagine that there is only one source of the whole business, and that's the Chinks, seeing that it is a Chinese drug and also seeing that all our trouble lately is with them. Your second question isn't quite so easy. That will be your work. Ericson: we ll leave that to you. The third question is the easiest of the three. Why did they do it? Why. to gain time; they know that Parker is the only one at the post that can translate the thing, and so they arc go- ing to keep him in such a condition that he can't translate it. Whoever their representative was who did this he must have been an unusual speci- men of an ()ricntal, a soft-hearted Chinaman. Why. what in the name of creation have they done that's kind-hearted? Nothin' so fur as I can see. Why. what would have been easier than for the one that got into Parker’s room to kill him and save so much trouble? That's right, too. That's funny. A soft- hearted Chink, huh! Maybe it wasn't a Chink. The surgeon went off down the corridor to Parker's room to test the breathing of his patient again, and Ericson went on his way back to the office pondering and repeating to himself again and again his last words to the surgeon, Maybe it wasn't a Chink.” He entered the office, and then, as if a sudden thought had struck him, he stepped to the board and threw on the switch. Then slowly, for he knew the code onlv slightly, he called: C. M. P. No. C. M. P. No. :i. “Yes.” “Was Long John at your headquarters last night or early this morning? Have not seen Long John for three days. Anything special ? No, thank you. Good-by. Ericson threw off the switch and stepped to his desk, where he wrote on a pad: Have gone to Rancher Somers' for wheat grains in connection with Stapleton case. Will be back at a late hour. —Lieutenant Ericson.” lie walked quickly to the barracks and ordered Sergeant Jameson to take charge of the office, then, ordering his horse, he galloped down the road. The moon was hidden by a cloud for an instant, and in that instant a man darted from the guard- house across the yard to the barracks. He stood silently in the shadow of the barracks for a mo ment. then suddenly, taking something from be- neath his coat, lie threw that something lightly toward a window in the second story just above him. There was a light ring of metal, and the man crouched back against the wall for an in- stant : then, turning suddenly, he grasped the rope which he had thrown and climbed swiftly hand over hand to the window, where he paused a moment, then entered the room. The rope was swiftly drawn up just out of the reach of someone else at the bottom of the wall who grasped des- perately for it. Ericson, for it was he. being foiled at that turn, ran swiftly around the building and in the door, and up to the room on the second floor in which Parker was sleeping. He grasped the door and pulled. It was locked. Snatching his pistol from his belt, in frantic haste he blew the lock from the door, and throwing it open rushed into the room just in time to see the rope at the window snatched away. He bounded to the window and fired a shot after the figure which was running across the yard. Suddenly the moon shot out from behind a cloud, and Ericson, leaning from the window in close scrutiny, gave an exclamation of satisfaction as the light struck on the figure of the man who was now mounted on Ericson's horse and gallop- ing down the road. The lieutenant turned to the bed where the young captain lay. and then noticed for the first time the condition of his superior. Parker was lying half way out of the bed. his head neariv touching the floor. My God! He's dying! the lieutenant ex- claimed. Then, without a glance backward, he dashed down the stairs and into the guard room, where the surgeon was sitting. Quick, surgeon. Parker is dying! he cried, and then dashed out of the barracks and into the sta- ble. Leaping upon a horse which stood by the door, he turned and dashed down the road in the direction of the ravine. Far ahead he saw the rider in a cloud of dust. He urged his mount faster and faster, standing erect in the stirrups. Thank God. this mount’s fresh and Ned is not, he murmured. He was gaining every instant upon tlu- fugitive, when suddenly the cloud of dust settled, and the horse and rider disappeared. A 246 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR gleam of satisfaction came into the lieutenant's eyes. “Just what I thought he’d do.” he murmured to himself. He was now nearing the ravine, and turning sharply down the road into which he had come the day of the fight, he rode to the bunch of saplings, and quickly tying his mount, dashed up the path of the left cliff, and pushing the bushes aside, came out upon the other road—the road he had discovered three days before. Settling him- self in the bushes he waited—but not for long. Soon he heard the swift beat of Ned’s hoofs, and around the bend in the road came the rider. Eric- son whistled sharply twice, and before the rider could grasp his revolver the faithful animal had stopped, and Kricson was covering the tall, angu- lar figure of the horseman with his re- volver. Kricson! the rider cried. Yes. Kricson. you hell-hound. There’s no use in your begging for mercy, for I've got you right where I want you. It's the rope for you if the captain is dead. If I thought you wasn’t goin’ to get it I’d kill you now myself. Kricson turned the horse, and holding him by the bridle, led him through the thick fringe of bushes, keeping the prisoner well covered with his revolver. When he reached the bunch of saplings lie com- pelled the prisoner to dismount, and then, taking a rope from beneath the latter's coat, with a grim smile he tied that downcast individual: then, plac- ing him upon the other horse, he mounted his own beast and started up the road toward the bar- racks. As he rode into the yard with the prisoner by his side two of the M. P.'s came out of the of- fice. Hullo. Kricson, they said quietly, have you heard the news? The captain is dead. My God! Is that so? And here is the cause of it, men, and he'll get the rope for it, too! Long John! exclaimed both men in the same breath. Yes. Long John, if that is his right name, though I doubt it. Take him to the guardhouse. men. and don’t let him escape you on your lives. Kricson entered the office at once, and finding the operator there, told him of his capture. You’re wrong, Kricson. You must be. Not Long John ’ Go out in the guardhouse and sec for your- selves. but first send this message for me. Hie operator seated himself at the board and threw back the switch :— Headquarters C. M. P. No. ?: 1 have cap- tured Wan Tong, the supposed Chinese des- perado and smuggler. He is none other than Long John, trusted ally of the Canadian mounted police. He has killed Parker, captain of this post. ! captured him on new road left side of Rarton ravine. Message discovered on an Oriental cap- tured three davs ago, which I translated early this morning from book of characters in the captain’s pocket, informed me of his identity. Await your orders.—Lieutenant Kricson. A sharp ticking followed this message. What does he say? asked Kricson. Forward prisoner under strong guard at once. It will mean hanging for him. Again the sharp ticking. What does lie say now? The operator rose and held out his hand. He says: Congratulations, Captain Kricson. The Montreal Times, March 16, 18!)7: ‘‘Word is re- ceived that Wan Tong, the noted desperado, has had his trial, and will hang for murder March 20 at sunrise. As we have told our readers before, this man has, since his capture, confessed to the murder of Lemuel Saunders, the Fourth Division captain of the C. M. P.’s, whose death took place two years ago last February, completely bafiling the police. A curious fact connected with this man’s dealings with the Chinese is that all of his connections with them were such that only two out of the noted Grengaine Society, of which he was the head, ever knew that Wan Tong was not of their race. Great credit for his capture is due to Captain F.ricson. ot the hirst Division. He suspected the man from his first coming to No. 1, and had it not been for his suspicion and his secret work the day of the murder, the villain would not have been captured. Captain Kricson is very n odest about his work, and bitterly bemoans the fact that he was too late to save his beloved captain’s life.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 247 Ibtlton Caswell's ©ream J6v? Barton w. Parker, a ., '13 Wi m w 'I was a perfect December clay. The newly-fallen snow lay like a mantle of jeweled white in the brilliance of the unusually clear winter sunlight. Hilton Cad well’s best friend and classmate was to leave Boston on the two-forty train for San Francisco. Hilton was going to the train to see him off and to wish him bon voyage. As he stood on the avenue waiting for the car. his eye fell upon the four public buildings of the city, which seemed to loom up before him in an unusually imposing manner. He waited and watched patiently; no car came. From time to -time he would consult his watch. The minutes seemed to speed by in leaps and bounds. In his impatience he turned his anxious gaze from the distant point to the scene opposite. Really. said Hilton. I never knew those build- ings took up so much room. And just see, the doors look like a lot of open mouths laughing and making fun of me. After waiting some time, he saw the object of his desire slowly approaching. It seemed as if it were miles away and slowly, slowly creeping on. At the best, it was a thirty- minute ride to the station, and his watch told him lie had only thirty-two minutes. Well. I ll risk it. he cried. After seating himself in the car. he bought a newspaper from a little ragged urchin. The first thing his eyes lighted upon was a headline in large black print. Fortune Left to the City by the Late Mr. John S. Rossmore. Twenty-five Thousand Dollars to Be Expended for the Benefit of the Young People.” Glancing hurriedly down the column, he saw below. Big Political Meeting to Be Held Next Monday Evening at the City Hall to Discuss This Question. By Jove, what an interesting meeting that would be! laughed Hil- ton. Wonder if they’ll give us something we really want! As the car neared the station, he jumped out. and, hurrying up to the track from which his friend’s train was to leave, what was his disap- pointment to find that the train had gone bearing his dear friend! He turned away in disgust, and immediately took the next car home. On reaching his home, he went up to his den. After taking off his coat, lie sat down dejectedly in his armchair before the open fireplace, in which a fire burned merrily. As lie sat there watching the glowing embers, and the flames whisk in and out. his mind ran over the incidents and impres- sions of the afternoon,—his hurried ride to the city, his disappointment in not seeing his friend, the four red buildings which had so photographed themselves upon his mind, and lastly, the fortune which had been left to the city and the meeting which was to he held to discuss the matter. Lying back in his chair dreamily, to his surprise he thought he saw in the firelight the four red buildings which had so haunted him that after- noon. Then gradually they underwent strange changes, and before him sat four men excitedly discussing some important political question. He listened a moment. Yes. the topic was the recent bequest and how it should he expended. lie glanced at the disputants. Two of the men were young, the others seemed older. 'Flic two young men were full of life and vigor. They were both good athletes, and were thoroughly aroused by this question of the expending of the money for the young people. One of the older men was quite small, but noticeable for his genial smile and twinkling eye. He wore spectacles and car- ried a hook under his arm. and one concluded that most of his time was spent in studying and in im- proving his mind. The fourth man was the oldest of the group. He had the look of a business man and a politician. These four men were plainly interested in the unusual bequest to the city. Hilton quickly dis- covered that they had very different opinions as to how the money should he spent. The young men thought that, as the .bequest had been left for the benefit of the young people, the money should he used to purchase and fit up a playground or athletic field for their use. The thing we want most.’’ they cried, is to have good, healthy bodies, and how can we develop them un- less we can have proper places in which t train them? In a crowded city the only places left us are the streets, and nobody wants us on the streets. The literary man maintained that the schools and the libraries needed new books and well- equipped reading rooms, where young people 248 SOM ERVI LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR could work in |iiiet as much as they desired. “You have no idea, he said, ‘‘how many boys there are who, from the time when they are little shavers, crowd our public libraries. Some of them devour books of travel and history; others you would conclude are on the high road to be- coming aeronauts, engineers, inventors, and great writers or poets, to judge by the way they pore over the big science books, biographies, etc. I really don't think we can do better than to im- prove the libraries and reading rooms. The boys admitted that he might be right, but maintained that most young people of to-day needed plenty of outdoor exercise and fresh air as much as they needed books. “To-day. they said, in almost all cities there are good libraries, but if we have not strong bodies, what good is all this studying going to do us? The politician asserted that the money should go toward improving the streets in the poorer parts of the city, beautifying parks, and erecting monuments. “If a city is kept clean and beau- tiful. he declared, the children will be trained to respect and care for their .home city. When they have grown up and become citizens they will want to see all cities and towns as beautiful as theirs. Lor a long time the four sat there discussing the matter. The older members finally caught something of the eager, boyish spirit of their younger friends. “Of what use to us. cried the young men. “are fine libraries and beautiful ave- nues if we haven't vigorous, healthy bodies, and playgrounds and gymnasiums in which to develop them? At last, after a hard and heated discus- sion. the politician agreed reluctantly. The group then broke up. The student picked up a history, sat down at the table, and began to read. He read for a few moments, and then, leaning back in his chair, began to nod. The book slid from his hand and fell to the floor with a bang. The crash awakened Hilton, who suddenly looked up. only to see his small brother coming in from school, and now he saw in the firelight, not the four men, but the four buildings which had haunted him that afternoon. These buildings were the four buildings at the top of Central Hill, the Somerville English High School, the Latin High, the library, and the city hall.

Suddenly they bring their panting beasts to a halt beside a roadside brook.

JBarlow, ’10 HE road that leads from Simla to Zeltan was very hot and dirty one June morning; everything was the same dreary drab color except two splotches of scarlet that moved rapidly away from the cool moun- tain side towards the burning plain that surrounds Zeltan. The figures resolved themselves into an English officer and a native orderly. So cheer- ful was the air the officer was whistling that even the orderly seemed to reflect some of his mas- ter's gaiety. Now that the intolerable heat of the Indian June was upon the lowlands, every one who could escape fled to Simla, which was ever cooled by the winds that swept across the snow-covered Himalayas. Lieutenant Sutton, for that was the officer’s name, was fortunate in that his post was situated so that he could retreat to Simla for the week ends and return refreshed for his week's work. At Simla were almost all the amusements of a European summer resort. Here were the wives and daughters of many of the officers, civilians, and such officers as could obtain leave. Among the new arrivals from England was Daisy Hamilton, daughter of General Sir George Hamilton, the military governor of the province. Lieutenant Sutton had known Miss Hamilton at home, and now she seemed especially attractive to him, showing, as she did, a pleasing contrast to the other ladies of the station, who were all rather jaded from their search for pleasure in a pleasureless land. Miss Hamilton brought a breath of fields and flowery hedgerows into a country of exotics. This week Lieutenant Sutton had neglected polo and whist in favor of danc- ing and walking, and it was the memory of these dances and walks that made Sutton forget the hard week ahead of him in the anticipation of the week ends to come. Suddenly his horse shied, and in the middle of the road stood a native of the lowest caste. He was turbanless, and his clothes were in rags. “Get out of the way.” shouted the orderly in the vernacular. Illustrious Sahib. began the native, ignoring the outburst of his countryman, it were better that you should not return to the lowlands. W’hat is it to you where I go?” said Sutton. What is it to me that my country is full of foreigners? asked the native, eyeing Sutton’s red coat resentfully. If the illustrious sahib in- sists on returning to the lowlands, then the beautiful mesahib will shed many tears and re- turn to her land across the seas, where she be- longs—where (here he waved his hand in a general way to indicate the fort),— where you all belong. With this impertinence, lie crashed into the jungle and disappeared. The orderly loosened his revolver and sent a bullet crashing after him. Out of the jungle came a horrid laugh, like a jackal: then it died away, and noth- ing could be heard but the chattering of monkeys and the droning of insects. Sutton rode on. but the words of the native made him shud- der even in the blaze of daylight. There was the usual early morning haze over Simla the following Saturday, as crowds of peo- ple sought recreation before the heat of mid- day sun. The verandas, tennis courts, and golf links were covered with white-clothed devotees to sport. Daisy Hamilton was playing a round of golf with her father. She watched a company of infantry swing down the road. The sight of 250 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR soldiers was no novelty to her, yet these had an indefinable air of stern seriousness about them. Suddenly she remembered hearing' the sounds of galloping horses in the night. She turned to her father, ' bather, why don’t you tell me? Some- thing is wrong. “I suppose you might as well know now. he said. “Two officers at Zeltan were murdered by natives last night. 1 have placed the province under military law. The old soldier could not see the girl's anxiety. “Who? she asked, knowing the answer. Sutton and Greenleaf, he replied. The girl looked, dry eyed, across the moun- tains. where two vultures showed black. against the snow: down in the gorge beneath were the bayonets of the avengers. So contained was she it seemed as if she had hardly heard. ‘'How?” she asked. “It was very revolting; no need of you know- ing There were more vultures now wheeling in the wake of the soldiers. She watched them, fasci- nated. 'The perfect control of the girl was bred of generations of soldier blood, but nature breaks in a moment through masks that have been ages in the forming. Her hands tightened on the golf stick she held and the tough wood snapped in splinters. Bursting into a torrent of tears she cried. ‘'Father, take me home to England, take me away from this horrible country, take me home, father.—home—ah! “Yes. said Sir George, understanding, “you had better go home. Out of the jungle came a horrid laugh like a jackal and then it died away, and nothing could be heard but the chattering of the monkeys and the droning of insects.

(hit side the hail and snow beat against the window panes, and the wind whistled and shrieked. “Now. grandpa, your story. we all cried. What shall it be. children? “Oh. a true one—about yourself. said Elsie. Grandpa looked thoughtfully into the leaping llames for a moment, cleared his throat, and then began:— It was in ’ ■ . in the days when the West was young. There were four of us in the coach to- gether. including Tom and myself. Tom was my closest friend, or. to use the Western expression, my ‘paid.’ We had roamed through the wild, rough country together for years, and no truer friendship than ours ever existed. Words weren't necessary to tell that either would give his life for the other. So it was with some feelings of disappoint- ment. mingled perhaps with a little jealousy, that I received the news one day from Tom that he was going to throw down his pan and shovel, and start back East. 'I've made a comfortable little fortune. Jack he said, ‘and I'm going back to the coast. I’ve the truest little wife and the dearest baby girl waiting for me back there. And how patiently they've waited through these long, weary years! Why don’t you come along, too. Jack?’ So it was that Tom and 1 came to be whirling over a rocky stage coach road that November evening. The coach accommodated thirty-two passengers, twelve inside and twenty on top. but by some chance we had it all to ourselves. About forty miles out on the route, however, where we stopped for fresh horses, two more pas- sengers entered. One was a young lady of about twenty-two summers. I thought. She was pretty as a moss rose. Her cheeks were soft and pink, her hair curled about her face in gentle little waves, and her eyes were soft and dark. The other was a pale young man of about nineteen, weak almost as a child, it seemed. His face, white with the pallor of death, his pathetic dark eyes, the hollow cough.—all told their sad story too plainly. We lifted him in gently, and carefully placed him on our blankets on the opposite seat. 11 is sister sat down in one corner, and tenderly placed his head in her lap. Just as we got in the driver climbed up to his scat. ‘All right. Jerry?’ asked the inn-keeper, who SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 251 had changed the horses for 11s. ‘Are you armed?' ” ‘You bet said Jerry, grimly. ‘I'm ready even for Black Ben's gang ‘lie careful. They're nearer than you imagine to-night. I heard from them at Alder’s warned the man. “ ‘We’ll be ready for them. Giddap And we were off. “Darkness had by this time fallen. It was a clear, cold, starlight night. The hunter's moon swung low over the distant mountains. We raised the curtains, and looked out upon the beautiful moonlit scenery. “We soon made the acquaintance of our travel- ing companions. Xita and Donald Bailey. Their uncle owned a large cattle ranch near the point where they had entered the coach. When their parents died. Xita had brought Donald West in hopes that it would improve his health. But, con- trary to their expectations, he had failed rapidly. The altitude was too high for his weak lungs. Now she was taking him East again, where, as she said, among familiar scenes and faces, he could not help but gain. Her eyes filled with tears as she told 11s this, for she knew that he was only go- ing home to die. “Donald, wrapped up in an old shawl, lay there, his head in his sister’s lap. silent and happy. Every little while a spell of coughing seized him. leaving him weaker than before. The trend of the conversation turned first to stage-coach robbers, then to Black Ben’s gang, which was at that time the terror of that section of the country. “‘Oh. I do hope we won’t meet them. The excitement would weaken Donald said Xita with a quick shudder. ‘I am not afraid, except for your sake, sister,' said Donald, raising his dark eyes to her. with a warmth of brotherly affection. Tom and 1 examined our revolvers, for we were determined to protect our precious bags of nuggets at any cost. For a while we rode in silence. Then Donald spoke: ‘I have a plan. Let us put all our valuables under my head in Xita’s lap. I hardly think they will disturb an invalid.' “Donald’s plan was a great risk, but we con- sented. as nothing better offered. Then he continued: ‘Give me your ring, Xita. Place tlie shawl around me so as to hide my clothes. Fake this fur cap. and put that little one on me. Pull my hair out around my face. There, don’t I make a fine girl? I was a great success in that role once. Don't you remember. Xita. when you played Romeo for my Juliet? Ah! what a fine cavalier you were!' “‘Hush. Donald,’ said Xita gently. A spell of coughing stopped the retort he was about to make. As he lay there, his soft fair hair framed about his wan face, we seemed to see in- stead of Donald Bailey, a beautiful invalid lady, the shadow of death in her luminous dark eyes, and its pallor on her cheeks. Ilis white hand, perfectly moulded, with the beautiful old-fashioned ring on his slim finger, lay listlessly on the shawl. ’Be ready.' shouted the driver. ‘Keep your guns alive. We are entering Stage Robbers' Re- treat.' We had left the level road, and were entering a narrow mountain pass. I his was one of the favorite haunts of the stage robbers. ‘Keep a stiff upper lip, Xita. dear.’ whispered iter brother. 'In a few minutes we ll be laughing' over this, and be disappointed at not having seen Black Ben.' Scarcely had he uttered the words, when a sharp voice cried. ‘Halt!’ The driver did not answer, but whipped up his horses. Several bullets whizzed by. and masked men sprang out of the bushes at the horses’ heads. Jerry, partly subdued, stopped. The robbers quickly took the mail bag. and threw open the door of the coach. ‘Quickly, gen- tlemen. your valuables. Great heavens! a sick girl,' they exclaimed, as the moonlight fell on Donald’s face. “‘Oh!’ cried Xita. excitedly, handing them her small purse, containing a few gold pieces, ‘take all I have, but please don’t disturb my sister. She is very, very ill.’ “ Xita said Donald in his weak, musical voice, holding out his hand to her. ‘this is all I have. It’s mother’s ring. Take it off.' “ ‘No, little girl, we don’t rob women.' said the leader, roughly, but not unkindly, as he tossed back the purse. “Tom and I handed out three small bags of nuggets and a gold watch, for we were afraid that they would become suspicious, and search 11s. The door closed, and we heard their last words. ‘Drive ahead. Jerry Johnson, but re- member the next time you try to drive through Black Ben’s gang, we'll not stop you by frighten- ing you.’ As we started, Xita bent her head over Don- ald's pale face. and. sobbing, said: Oh. Donald, we’re safe—safe.’ But the dark eyes were closed, and the feeble voice did not answer. ()ur treasure was safe, but at what a price: for Donald—was dead.” CLASS PRESIDENTS Standing: Chaffee, E.. ’13; Shaffer, E., T2; McAlpine, L.. ’13 Sitting: Moore. E..

Then are the fearful swamps of Florida, that the river flows through, most alive. Owls hoot dismally, small insects keep up a most terrifving of all frogs and mournful tune, hut tne is that |uiet. almost inaudible splash, as the alliga- tor takes to the water. That is the sound that strikes terror to the heart of any traveler who has been so unfortunate as to go astray in that wild, unhabited region. This thought, among others, passed through the mind of Hob Hilton, as he sat close to the water’s edge on the old stern paddle steamboat Okeehum- kee that warm January evening. He had been spending his vacation at a nearby winter resort, and on the advice of friends was making this beautiful trip from Falatka to Silver Springs. As the night advanced, the other passenger retired, one by one. but Hilton sat alone watching the strange shadowy effects caused bv the light of the pine torches burning before the pilot house. Only those who have made the trip can realize what a picture there was before him. The nar- row. tortuous river, only a few feet wider than the boat: the tall, gaunt trees, crowded closely to- gether and growing down to the water’s edge: tlie long, fluffy streamers of gray moss, hanging from the tree branches, and presenting a ghostly appearance; the flickering, reddish light cast by the pine torches, now brightening and penetrat- ing the dense foliage a short distance, now reced- ing: the lights and shadows reflected in the clear, limpid water: all of this presented as picturesque a scene as can be found. It had such a hypnotiz- ing influence over him that in a short time he be- came drowsy, in spite of himself. The denizens of the woods had quieted down, as if they had gone to sleep too. All was calm and peaceful on the Ocklawaha. save for the low throbbing of the engines as the boat threaded her way up the river. Suddenly he was startled out of his revery by a scream of terror, a scream of helplessness in a voice which was undoubtedly a woman’s. It came from the woods. He looked. Through the trees, he saw a slender figure in white running frantically towards the boat, tripping, stumbling. but always recovering, while close behind her were two or three dark, burly forms in hot pur- suit. Without giving a thought to the folly of his course, he leaped from the edge of the boat to the bank, only a few feet distant, lie attempted to run towards the figures, who were now behind the boat. He had advanced but a few steps, how- ever. when the boat rounded a bend in the river, leaving him in pitch darkness. With the disap- pearance of the light, the mysterious inhabitants of the woods had also vanished from sight. Quiet reigned again, except for occasional snapping of branches and splashes as they receded. Left alone in the vast, depressing darkness of the morass lie realized his danger.—alone at night in a swamp, where a single step might mean death: miles and miles from any honest settle- ment. with neither food nor weapons. He cursed his foolishness savagely, but it was too late to mend matters. He took a step for- ward. and sank knee deep in oozy mud and water. Something hit against him. He reached down. A large, slimy snake glided through his hand. Desperately lie struggled on through the swamp, hitting against trees, tripping over their roots, slipping on decayed vegetation, until he finally reached dry land, where he resolved to spend the night. As he dropped to the ground, exhausted, he touened something warm, a human hand. Hast- ily striking a match lie saw the pale, beautiful features of a girl of nineteen or twenty. It was the object of his search, the girl in white. She opened her eyes slowly. “Oh.” she cried, “who are you?” Then abruptly bee ming hysterical. ‘Take me away from here, take me away from this dreadful place. They are looking for me now. those awful men. The blood. 0I1. the blood! That terrible cabin!” A deep sob choked her. “Yes,” replied Hilton, trying to soothe her. 1 will take you away from here. Hut who are you? What is your name?” At the sound of his voice, the girl quieted down. '’Virginia Manton,” she answered in a low but nervous voice. The mention of her name made matters clear to Hilton. Who indeed had not heard of the mys- -’54 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR terious disappearance of the beautiful and talented daughter of one of the state’s most prominent and wealthy men? From the time she was abducted for revenge by one of his old enemies, not a clue had been found as to her whereabouts, in spite of the enormous rewards offered. While she was still speaking, a crashing was heard in the underbrush. They listened in silence and watched. Presently they saw the flare of pine torches. The seachers,” cried Virginia, terrified. Gradually the men drew nearer and nearer. Sometimes they would appear to be going away, but they always returned, approaching the hiding, despairing couple slowly,—so slowly and yet so surely. Suddenly when their nerves� were strung to the highest pitch, expecting each moment to be dis- covered. the deep boom of a whistle startled them. The down river boat! There it was, not two hundred yards away, rounding a bend in the river. With a common impulse they ran as best they could, for the boat. At the same instant the des- peradoes saw them. Then began a wild race for the boat. Two of the desperadoes were too far away to pursue the couple, but the third one was running to head them off. Hilton ran with all the speed he could, some- times pulling Virginia along at his side, but more often carrying her bodily, jumping ditches, stumbling through entangled grass, dodging low branches. The bandit was drawing near to them, when he tripped and fell. He was still to be reckoned with, however. Drawing his revolver, lie fired at the fleeing pair. Hilton felt a stinging pain in his shoulder, but he kept on for the boat, which was now only a few rods ahead, apparently at a standstill. They had been seen! A window in the pilot house was raised and a long rifle barrel appeared. Crack! The sharp, decisive note of the Winchester rang through the forest. 'The other two bandits fired at the boat, but the first continued firing at Hilton. For a few minutes the woods resounded with the gun fire. Then Hilton reached the boat with Virginia, and the engines were started again. Dry clothing and food were given them, and then, after telling their story, they sought a much- needed rest. The next day, however, they found themselves the heroes of the boat, and while Hilton may not have realized it, many of the passengers saw the hand of destiny at work while they watched how tenderly the beautiful Virginia cared for his wounded shoulder. Hester's flHistake flDaroaret X. IRtcb, X., ’ll V, Ella, lend me a nickel, will you? I'm broke. Thus spoke Lester Noyes to his sister, as the two stood on the corner of Marshall and Mt. Vernon streets. They were about to part, he to go to school and she to Lester, you’re always broke. Hut I'll lend it to you this time. and she drew a morocco purse from her pocket. Hardly had she done so than he put his hand in his pocket, and drew forth another morocco purse. Isn't this yours, sis? I took it out of your pocket in the car. How did you happen to have two with you? asked the boy in great surprise. Why, I didn't. she answered, looking at the purse in his hand more carefully. That’s not mine. Where did you get it? I tell you I took it out of your pocket when wc were in the car. We were so jammed together that I thought it would be a good chance to play a trick on you. just to see how you would look when you found out that it wasn’t in your pocket.” Well. Lester Noyes, you’ve done it this time! You’ve taken somebody else's purse. Now, what are you going to do about it? Gee! 1 bet I have, at that! What would you do? It’s a wonder the young lady didn’t feel it when 1 took it from her pocket. Ella, your dear little brother has turned thief! Hut Lester really did look troubled in spite of his light talk. Do be serious for once in your life. Lester. Perhaps she needs the money. ()pcn it and sec how much there is. spoke his sister, her curiosity getting the better of her. And besides, there may be some card in there with her name and ad- dress on it. her work. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 255 I never thought of that. All right, here goes. and the young man hastily opened the purse. Ten dollars, sis, and thirty-two cents, but no card. he said, as he hastily searched through the small piece of leather. Well. I'm sure I don’t know what you’re going to do about it. It serves you right, anyway, for trying to play such a trick on me. 1 must hurry along now. or I will be late, and then Mr. El- dredge will be cross. Come around to the office at recess, and we ll talk it over. “All right, but I think this affair is a pretty poor comedy. Well, so long. I'll see you later, and Lester sauntered leisurely down the street as if he were not already late, and as if he did not have the word Ihicf staring him in the face. Guess I’m in for it this time. thought he. I can see jail right ahead of my bright career. Gorry, I never thought I’d be in a mess like this. The poor girl probably is wondering by now what low pickpocket had the audacity to put his hand in her pocket and take her purse. I’ve a good mind to ‘chuck’ it away, and let somebody else pick it up. But that wouldn't help the girl any. Well. I'll wait until I see Ella again anyway, and per- haps we can----- Why. good morning, Lester. You late, too? spoke the cheery voice of Lillian Lee, one of Les- ter’s best friends. 'I guess the dance last night must have affected you. By the way. haven’t you something that belongs to me? So I have. Li 1. You wanted me to keep your purse for you last night until we got home, and I forgot to return it to you. I’m sorry, but f think I left it home. I’ll bring it around this afternoon. Will that be all right? Why. Lester, what is the matter with you. any- way? What’s that you have in your hand? You aren’t trying to run off with all that lies between me and poverty, are you? Oh. that? Lester blushed furiously. Yes. ‘that?’ There’s ten dollars and thirty- two cents in ‘that.’ and I want it. please. What’s the joke. Lester? Nothing, only—well, you’ve taken a great load off my mind, Lil. But what in the dickens ----’’ and he hastily ran his hand into his pocket. What he took out caused much surprise to both, for he found a small, much-worn copy of the Old Testament. Ilow long since?” asked Lillian, merrily. Well, I'll be darned! was his only answer. Co var5 Ibarrv? X Smith, JE., ’ll HE name Coward was given him as follows: When the call for troops came to Dover, shortly after Bull Run, that little town of eight hun- dred sent a company of a hundred men to the Eighth Illinois, more than a half of the able-bodied men of the town. Among these, the last man to enlist was a frail young man. hardly more than a lad. lie was not tit for service: he knew it. and a num- ber of the company knew it. but there he was in camp with the rest near Lexington. Ky. One day a small-souled member of his squad. Hawk- ins by name, asked him, Peters, how on earth did you ever happen to enlist, anyway? and Peters had replied. I wouldn’t be here but for Andrews and Collins: they said I was afraid to come along and that settled it with me. So you’re here just because you were called a coward, are you? Well, you are a coward. A tear glistened in the poor lad’s eye and he responded brokenly, Well, per- haps I am, and it had gone at that, that Peters was a coward. A sharp skirmish was going 011 between the pickets which threatened to become more general, when a scout covered with dust and reeking with perspiration dashed up to the general’s tent, dis- mounted. saluted, and burst in upon the com- mander. Thomas. General, he cried, Zollicoffer is approaching, his force is smaller than yours, but he does not know whether to attack or not. being uncertain as to your strength. Have him get word some way that the force here is only your advance. He’ll attack, he’ll attack. I’m sure of it. and you can crush him as you would crush a lly. ( h. gen- eral. let—,’’ the scout stopped, choked, and fell prostrate. An examination showed that he was uncon- scious but alive, utterly worn out from hard rid- ing. His short report set Thomas thinking. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 256 W hy couldn’t lie get some word to the rebel camp that the force at camp was small—but how? XollicofTer had spies out probably—ah! he had it! Calling the orderly he said, “What company is that to the left of the tent? “The Eighth Illinois, Company D, sir. The captain? “Forbes, sir. Have him come here. In two minutes Forbes was before the general. Have you got a man. began Thomas, “that can be trusted on a dangerous errand? He must be perfectly fearless or it’s no use. See if you can get a man to volunteer for a dangerous en- terprise. Forbes replied that he would try immediately, saluted and went out. At company headquarters he called the men together and addressed them: My men, the general has honored our company by asking me to detail from it a man for a danger- ous enterprise. Nothing is said of the character of the errand, only it is required that the volun- teer for the position be perfectly brave, but not reckless, and cool and collected in time of danger. There was a silence for a minute, then a voice cried. I volunteer first! and Deters, shivering in the sharp January morning, walked up to the cap- tain and declared himself ready. ()h. look. cried Collins, Coward is going to do the hero act. brave old Coward. But Coward never heeded the taunt, but following the cap- tain. disappeared in the general’s tent. Volunteer, general. said Forbes, and went out. The general looked at Peters full two minutes, and finally said. My boy, you’re too young, too small, too frail: what 1 need is a strong, husky man. I'm afraid you won’t do. But. general. protested Peters, I'm strong. I’m brave enough, and I’ll do anything you say; give me the chance, please. I'd just as soon die as not, if it’s necessary, for no one in the camp hardly has any use for me. Tell me to attack the whole rebel force alone, and I’ll do it. Give me the chance, general, please. And almost in tears he fell on one knee before Thomas. General George Thomas was never character- ized by anything rash, or even hasty. Even in times of greatest danger he was as cool and as easy going as if on parade. Now it was just the same. He weighed the matter carefully; a mis- step. a poor selection might mean disaster. This lad before him was but a stripling.—but then, he might have all the qualities needed. Finally he said: Well, here’s the proposition, consider it well. You have your chance to decline if you wish—1 advise you to do so—but whatever you do. be governed by your knowledge of your own power. I want a man to dress as a Confederate scout, in a dirty old rebel uniform. I wish him to start from the Union lines and run for the Con- federate pickets. Shots will be fired after you a- plenty. but none will hit you, and weary and ex- hausted you are to manage to crawl into the pro- tection of the rebels. ()nce there, you are to give your name as Jackson of the Twelfth Missis- sippi. You will tell them that you have just es- caped from the Yankee lines and that you have an accurate estimate of the forces here in camp. You will say our number to be about fifteen hun- dred.—you know we have about four or five thousand,—and urge the highest officers you may see to have an attack ordered before the rest of our troops are come in. If the attack is made you will join in and come back to the Union lines during the fray. If not. well, you will be dis- covered before long, or else you will be a Con- federate for no one knows how long. With eyes flashing and cheeks strangely aglow Peters sprang up and cried: Wonderful, general, wonderful. I can do it. I will do it. Say when, general, will it be to-day? “Calm yourself, sir. be cool and collected. This errand calls for a steady, clear head as well as bravery. Yes, sir, meekly, but I am so sure I can suc- ceed. Very well, then, report here at seven o’clock- to-morrow morning. The sun came slowly over the eastern hills to find the wet ground of yesterday frozen and slip- pery. The first slanting rays, full of the splendor of the glorious morning, glanced on stacked rifles and flags and tents and almost seemed to make them living. Peters, like the inanimate objects, also caught the spirit of the morning and at seven sharp was at Thomas’s tent. On the camp table beside the general lay a disreputable looking Con- federate uniform. Try it on. said Thomas, and see how near it comes to fitting you. This Peters did and found it just a little too small, but as over half the Confederate uniforms were ill-fitting garments, this was not to be con- sidered out of the way. Then a hat was given him. along with careful directions as to what to do. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 257 lly eight o’clock all was ready. From a clump of pines to the right of the line, and not over two hundred yards from the rebel pickets, Peters started to run from the Union lines. As soon as he was started a dozen Fcdcrats among the pines began firing after him. taking care not to hit him. Shouting to the Johnnies to help him. he stag- gered on and fell utterly exhausted—to all ap- pearances a few yard in front of the Confederate picket line. A dozen eager arms dragged him within the shelter of another piece of woods. Wal, who be you tins?” demanded a seedy looking rebel. Jackson. 12th Mississippi. came from Peters in broken words. Wal. now, there’s three companies of the 12th with this attachment: what company? Peters was completely confused at this, but on a venture, replied II. You’re on, my man, you're on. You’ll soon be with ’em. Tell us how ye happened to get loose from them thar Yanks.’’ “Can’t,” gasped the rescued rebel, got to sec the general—got news—important—take me to headquarters—hurry up. I’m most done for— that run. The lank individual acting as spokesman con- sulted his comrades for a few minutes, and then with one of them, took Peters to the tent of General Zollicoflfer, about a half a mile to the rear. Here Peters was questioned, but he man- aged to give satisfactory answers. Finally Zolli- coflfer asked him for the news he had and Peters said: Now is a fine time to strike Thomas at Mill Spring, before he can get his division together. Ilis regiments are tired after days of marching and are in no condition to withstand a heavy at- tack. A direct attack in front followed by two strong flank movements would crush his little army and the way would be open to Louisville and Frankfort. In three, or perhaps two day ., his forces will be collected and it will be too late. The general reflected a moment and then questioned, How do you know that all this is true ?’’ I have been a prisoner for a week and a half in their lines, and I have heard and seen all that I am telling you. There is no mistake, sir. Zollicoffer wished to attack anyway: his men were eager to fight, they were in fine condition, and if Thomas’s force were weaker than his—why —well, this was a chance to win distinction early in the war. He hesitated for full five minutes; then made up his mind to attack. He rang for the orderly. Call Generals W ood and Downs and Colonel Robinson. These three appeared in a very few min- utes. and with them Zollicoflfer held a short council. Peters heard none of this, but the outcome was that the attack was to be made. Peters almost jumped for joy. General, he begged. let me go with you. I know where the best point to strike is, and I can save you time as a guide. To be sure. replied Zollicoflfer, “you shall be in the front rank, and if this is a success. L promise you a captaincy. Peters wondered how he would ever succeed in deceiving him any longer, should he met any company of the Twelfth Mississippi, and still more, what he would do with a Confederate captain's commis- sion. Put. gritting his teeth, he resolved to win or die. In the middle of the night Zollicoflfer started with his force of three thousand five hundred. l� y his side rode Peters, temporarily on the general’s stall, and guide to the centre attacking party. After ten minutes’ advancing, a rifle shot ahead showed them that the Federal lines were not far ahead, and five minutes later the battle had begun. Peters was in the foremost ranks of the Con- federates striving to regain the Federal lines. Around a low stone wall a regiment of Union troops was having a hard time of it. The rebel force at this point was stronger than else- where, and here they were pressing the Federals back. Py the continuous musket fire Peters recognized this regiment as the Eighth Illinois. His heart leaped within him. and. dashing for- ward. he tried to join them, but the terrific charge of the Confederates was shattering the regiment; the colors were down, and the men were fast losing ground. With a rush. Peters was among his comrades, seized the fallen colors from under a smashed field piece, and, waving them aloft in triumph, called to the disorganized Federals to follow him. Put. alas, that Con- federate uniform! No one in the excitement recognized Peters, but some of them did notice that a man in gray had the Union colors, and half a dozen fired at him. Peters—or the man in gray—was seen to throw up his hands and pitch forward. Then stalwart hands took up the flag, and the regiment retreated to a better defensive point. Put. as one of the men was rescuing the 258 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR flag. he noticed the face of the prostrate rebel, and cried out: “That was Peters, and I’ll bet we've killed him.” But before the others could lend a hand and carry him back, the Confederates swept them back, and Peters was lost sight of. Once more the sun came over the eastern hills, but saw at .Mill Spring a far different sight than yestermorn. Upon the field Blue and Gray lay mingled: some were dead, some were dying, and others were wounded, but unable to move. His- tory tells how Thomas crushed the Rebel army. Zollicoffcr himself being killed, and of the re- joicing of the Kederals at the first real victory of the army of the west, but history says nothing of the one who made that victory possible. Towards noon Peters, upon the field where he had fallen, opened his eyes and looked around; his head ached as though it would split, and his left arm was useless, lie tried to get up and move, stag- gered a few feet, and fell again : then squirming and kicking convulsively, he moved a few feet farther away. Then he tried to crawl, and in this way he managed to reach a sheltered spot, closed in by thick bushes. Here he lay for more than an hour unconscious again, but on coming to he felt stronger, took a pull at a small flask of brandy, and proceeded to wind a first-aid bandage around his head and another around his arm. It was slow work with one arm, and he in such a weak condition, but finally it was done, and Peters found that he could, with a gun as a crutch, hobble along at a slow, painful pace. Meanwhile men from Company I) of the Eighth Illinois among others had been out looking for men of their company. Drake, the corporal who had rescued the colors from Peters the night be- fore. and who had recognized him afterwards, was searching for his body. Xear the broken cannon lay a Confederate soldier dead, his fea- tures beyond recognition from the tramping of feet upon him. Being the only Confederate near the cannon, and finding nothing upon the man r on his clothes to identify him, Drake concluded that he must be Peters. A grave was dug. and the dead Confederate was buried. Then upon a pine slab, with tears in his eyes. Drake cut these words:— COWARD THE BRAVEST MAN IX THE REGIMENT. Over the grave the slab was placed, and the soldiers departed, carrying with them the wounded. Xot more than half an hour later Peters re- turned across the field, past the broken field piece, towards where the camp had been the day be- fore, and coming to the slab marking a grave, he read the strange epitaph. At a glance he understood,—some one had been mistaken for him. and had been buried there, and he burst into tears,—glad tears of joy. Late in the afternoon Peters hobbled into the Union camp. and. after some searching, found Company D— his company! They seemed to be his comrades now. And comrades true they proved to be, but they never called him Coward after that. Ifoow tbc JSovs '(kept Iboitse .16y lb erf orb Carter ibartwell, X., ’ll OU’RE always saying that we could never get along without you. Why don’t you go away sometime and see if we couldn’t? 1 guess I cooked for the boys all the time that we were in camp, and things tasted just as good as they ever do at home.” Thus lien, only seven- teen. yet the oldest of the three boys, addressed his mother at the dinner table. Mrs. Brown, feeling a little bit hurt, paid no attention to the remark, and so the conversation was dropped. She did not forget it, however. Late one afternoon, about three weeks after- wards. Ben came home and found the door locked, and the key under the mat. This is strange.” he thought. for ma is al- ways here when we come home to dinner.” When he stepped inside a death-like silence reigned, and shadowy darkness—for it was then dark at five o’clock—sent a gloom all over the house. “Gee, but this is a weird place when it's not in- SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 25C habited,” he said half aloud, as he lit the gas and turned toward the fireplace. “Hello, what have we here?” he said, as his glance fell on a care- fully folded bit of paper resting on the mantel. He unfolded it and read. Dear Boys,—Aunt Nellie is not well and has sent for me to be with her for a few days. If she is better to-morrow I shall be back in the morning. Ma. I I’m. that sounds like 'Get your own supper, boys W ell, we ll show ’em that we’re just the fellows who can do it. he mumbled, as he tossed the note away. Wish those boys would hurry up and come in. he thought, as he began to light the gas in every room, hoping to make the house more cheerful. When the light in the kitchen flared up he noticed the stove cold and black. Well, this is a fine beginning; fire out. no coal, no wood, and a lot of crazy dampers to deal with.” After banging around down cellar for a few minutes he returned with an armful of wood and a hod of coal. Filling the stove with paper, wood, and coal, and pouring kerosene over the whole he set fire to the paper and then brushed his hands together and gave a prolonged grunt of satisfac- tion. I think that tiiat is going to be about the best fire that was ever built in this house,” he said as the fire roared and cracked and snapped. But soon little circles of gray smoke curled out around the edges of the covers, and gradually the little circles turned to clouds, which rolled out through every opening on the top of the stove. At length the whole stove, heaving forth a thick gray mass, was almost enveloped, and poor Ben could not see even across the little kitchen. It’s blamed funny that none of these dampers were put here for any use,” he thought, as he pulled this damper and pushed that one. and the suffocating smoke poured out just the same. Shriveled down into his coat to protect him- self from the cutting blasts of air which blew in through the open windows and doors, he stood watching the stove with a discouraged yet much concerned expression on his face. Rubbing his smarting, stinging eyes, he muttered between coughs and chokes, I wonder how long before the darn thing will explode.” Just at this moment the door opened and Walter and Jack with a What in the world arc you trying to do, ‘Reekie’? burn up the house? rushed forward and pulled out a small damper over the oven. Immediately the smoke changed its course and passed off up the chimney. When this excitement was over, the first ques- tion that the younger boys asked was. Where's Ma? and after Ben had told them that she would not be home that night they proceeded to plan their dinner. I’ll make a fish chowder like the ones I used to make in camp,” volunteered Ben. if you kids will throw some silver and a few dishes on the table. So after shutting the windows and doors they scampered off to the dining room and left Beil to his fate. W ith tears in his eyes Ben cut pieces of onion and salt-pork into a large kettle, put it onto the stove, and then went back to slice the potatoes. As he was pouring the potatoes and water into the kettle, he suddenly stopped, and, with a long drawn-out sigh, said: Talk about your fools— here I’m trying to make a fish chowder without any fish. A potato chowder will be a flat-tasting soup. hat’s the matter with a can of corn? A corn chowder has a fish chowder all tied up in a bag,, anyway. said Jack. At this suggestion. Ben searched for a can of corn : and when it had been found and added to the chowder, he took a newspaper and sat down to wait for the mixture to get warm. Thirty-two to six. C----- better lie down and die before she gets whipped to death. he said as he glanced at the paper. 'C-----plays a good game in the first half, but goes to pieces in the second.’ ’’ he read. Weak,—they all need a cup of beef tea. 'Turner and Roberts carried from the floor at the beginning of the second half.' Better see if the children will let them play marbles with them. What’s their standing now? asked Jack. Making one final desperate grasp before they fall off? Whew! What in the dickens is hap- pening out there? Got vour feet in the oven? Good Lord, the chowder! Scorched! Oh, no. nothing like that. It’s burnt to a cinder. Bah! tastes worse than a fish six weeks old. sighed Ben. as he set the kettle on the back porch. Well, this is a pretty mess, said Walter, com- ing to the kitchen, seven o’clock, chowder burned, and my stomach lying collapsed on my back bone. We've got to get something, and get it quick, or 1 won’t be able to drag myself across the kitchen. Give me a recipe and some of that fussy cheese in the pantry. demanded Jack, and I’ll make a dish that will make you glad you’re living. Cut 26o SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Hit trimmings off the cheese, ‘Reekie and I'll wade through a few cook books.

That double-boiler is just the thing for a chafing- dish. Let me see.—two eggs,—one. two ' he counted, as he cracked and dropped them in. “Now a cup of milk. and he started for the re- frigerator. He returned with the milk and was just going to pour it into the dish when he stopped and held his breath for a second. “Well, of all the fool things—will you look at the fried eggs? lint his look of surprise turned to anger as he said: Well, why in the name of heaven didn't that blooming recipe say that the eggs didn’t go in first ? Every- thing has gone wrong, and 1 shall need the smelling salts if I fool around this kitchen any longer. Here. he said, as he slapped the two eggs between slices of bread and handed them to the boys, take those and think you’re eating a ten-course dinner. A couple of fried eggs apiece and a handful of doughnuts and cookies, and they decided that they had had enough.—at any rate, enough if they had to be the cooks. Piling it]) the dishes in a disorderly way in the corner of the sink, they left the kitchen. As they stepped into the library it was as if they had en- tered an ice box. Hen threw himself down into a chair. Well, the furnace fire has evidently gone on a strike, but I’ll freeze before I’ll build another fire to-night. It's up to you. Walter, so get up your nerve. Seeing that it would do no good to be stubborn, Walter marched down stairs without any hesita- tion. He succeeded in building the fire without any serious mishaps, but could not coax it to give heat enough to warm those icy rooms. So. for the rest of the evening, wrapped in blankets like Indians, they sat around the kitchen fire trying to get courage to go to their cold rooms. The next morning the one cry was: ()h, no, we don't want anything for breakfast but cold cereal and milk. We really are not very hungry. And they all faced each other with a thin, hungry look. After the scanty breakfast they started t« school, hoping to find their mother at home when they returned. When they came home at noon they saw that their wish had been granted, for they found the house warm and comfortable, and a big. steam- ing hot dinner on the table. Their mother greeted them with: I'm ever so sorry that I had to leave you to get your own supper and breakfast, but. of course. she added, with an amused light in her sweet eyes. I knew that you could get along all right without me. ' Well, we did. didn't we? cried Hen, turning around to receive the hearty support of the other boys, but instead of coming face to face with his two brothers, he faced the blackened remains in the burnt kettle. At first he was a bit confused, but. as he caught the merry twinkle in his mother’s eye. he had to laugh in spite of himself; and then he told all that happened the evening before. tLbe IDictory a Stor of the Bir Bv? Charles 1h. Ulpton, '12 about forty years old. One would easily mistake bun for an Englishman. He was quietly listening to the remarks of his friend and business ac- quaintance. John Hayden. You understand, Hayden was saying, that our latest improvement on the biplane is a won- derful invention. With its application to war would come a revolutionizing of scouting meth- ods. No man would dare to leave camp with such a mechanism within ten miles. Just notice WO men were seated in the office of the president of the Inventors' Pro- moting Company on the twentieth floor of the Flatiron building in New York. The younger of the two was an American. There was nothing unusual to note about him except his eyes. They were the eyes of a thinker, an inventor; gray eyes which seemed to pierce whatever they looked at. The older man, the president of the firm, was SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR the demonstration that I will now give, using this model as a means. Notice this steel plate on the under plane of the machine. An aviator can swoop down on a sentinel or on a messenger and pick him up by means of this plate. It is an elec- tric magnet so treated that it will attract almost any substance. Phis plate, however, has not re- ceived the full treatment, so that it will only pick up a material containing steel. I will put this piece of steel, representing a sentinel, on the office- table, so. From the other side of the room I will loose the model. Watch it pick that piece of metal up as it passes over it. The young man walked to the other side of the room and let the mode! go. The instant that the biplane was above the piece of steel, there was a sharp clink like two coins hitting together, as the magnet attracted the steel. “Now,” continued the speaker, we control the whole process of the treatment and manufacture of this magnetic steel. As you know .our busi- ness is to invent and build. Ve have no time to promote the sale of our products. Your firm has advanced many of our inventions that have been successes. We will give you half of the profits on this latest product, if you will promote it above all the other inventions now in your hands.” “Hayden.” interrupted the older man. I can trust to your word as a life-long friend that your invention is all that you claim, but my colleagues must have something more than a magnet attract- ing steel to convince them. “Hut. my dear friend. replied Hayden, “don't you understand that it is not possible to combine our entire process into a model machine? In a full-sized machine, the aviator has perfect control of the system of aerastaums that direct the elec- tricity. I can't control this model properly. The invention tried out at our experimental field picked up a horse that was let loose. The air- man carried the animal back to the farm where we procured it. and set it down in the barnyard. 1 have showed you to-day merely the principle of the invention. .We hope to give the members of your firm a demonstration with the actual machine later. Although we have never made the test. I think that our largest biplane would pick up a full- sized touring car and carry it off. “Very well. I will talk it over with the other four members of the concern. They are coming down to dinner this evening. Why didn’t I think of it before? Any reason why you can't join us and discuss the matter on the way down? I’ve recently bought a place down in Elksville. and I'd like to show you the house and grounds. Tin? 261 limousine will be here at the door at G.15. It is only 5 now and you will have plenty of tune to dress and be back for the trip. The machine holds six comfortably and the trip through the suburbs is very interesting. “Much obliged, Jim; I'm sure that I should enjoy the trip, but I must be back to the factory in an hour to make an important experiment that I wouldn't care to trust my assistants to make. 1 will arrange a date soon to give you the demon- stration. (iood-day. The lift carried him to the street floor. A line of taxicabs extended along the curb farther down the street. Hayden rushed to one of the waiting drivers and gave him the address of the factory at Chilton. “How long will it take you to reach that place? “About an hour, sir. “Make it in fifty-five minutes and you will re- ceive a ten spot outside of the regular taxi-rate. And. chauffeur.- for every minute less than fifty five that it takes the automobile to reach the des- tination I'll give you five dollars. “All right, sir. In fifty minutes the taxi-cab was at the factory of the Hayden Aeroplane Inventions Company. Hayden alighted. “Here is the fare and thirty- five dollars for you. It's worth it to me! Entering the factory lie gave orders for aero- plane No. !) to be put in condition for a long flight. The experiment of which he had spoken to his friend. Dutton, was completed in half an hour. Hayden entered his private office, to emerge fif- teen minutes later in a long auto coat that covered him from his head to the tops of a pair of patent leathers. A leather aviator's cap covered his head. « The clock in the limousine was striking seven. The automobile party was enjoying the constantly changing panorama of the suburbs. Now the es- tate of some wealthy broker was passed, the well- kept grounds doing justice to the perfectly pr - portioned dwelling: now the long green stretches of a golf course were seen, the clubhouse planted on a green carpeted slope. A racing car passed the limousine. The motor was exhausting di- rectly in the air and the sharp blasts made a fear- ful din. Soon another unmufYled motor was heard hack of the limousine. “Another racer coming, remarked Hudson Talbot, treasurer of the promoting company. The terrific reports of the exhaust increased in volume and the five got up to look at the racing machine as it passed. 26 2 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR As they stood up, the limousine careened a little and the men were thrown to their seats. The din seemed to be above them now. directly over their heads. The chauffeur had shut off the power and was about to speak through the tube when the machine gradually rose as if lifted by a crane! Up! Up! Higher the machine was lifted, still horizontal. Now forward, as if on the road, only faster! The startled men looked out of the win- dows. The car was at least nine hundred feet from the ground! ' I have it. exclaimed Dutton. “Hayden is run- ning that machine above us, for it certainly is an aeroplane, and we are being carried to Elksville! After the first shock of surprise the group be- gan to enjoy the experience. The sharp, regular exhaust of the motors above the machine was so reassuring that they had lost the sense of fear that the situation gave at first. The ground seemed to be jumping to meet them. They experienced the sensation of being dropped in an elevator from the top floor of an office building to the first. The machine gently touched the ground and moved on its own wheels for a hundred feet and then slowed up. A shadow showed on the road in front of the hood, and then a great flying ma- chine shot into the view of the men as they looked through the front glass of the car. Underneath the lower plane of the air craft could be seen a shining steel plate twelve feet square. The auto- mobile had been dropped almost in front of the entrance to the Dutton home at Elksville. The five men got out and stood on the steps waiting for—they hardly knew what. But as if in answer to their mental questions, the enormous flying machine soared into view and came to the ground some distance down the road. They noticed that four wheels protruded from the steel plate. The plate had appeared, while the machine was in air. to be without any openings for wheels. Later, a closer inspection showed that four rectangular places had been cut in the steel plates. After leaving the ground, the aviator threw in a lever which lifted the four wheels .simul- taneously till there were no projections through the rectangular slots. The aviator stepped down from the trembling machine and threw off his long coat and leather cap. Clad in evening dress, he advanced to the group. Dutton. said he. when you told me of the proposed trip of all the officers of your firm to your home. I couldn't resist the temptation to give them a practical demonstration of the won- derful power of my invention. I hope it has been satisfactory.” I can say for the company. Hayden, that we will promote your invention, according to the terms of your second request, above all others in our hands at this time. But your first statement must be changed. We cannot, after seeing the result of your work, accept fifty per cent, of the profits. You deserve the major part of the gain, therefore we will except only twenty-five per cent. and. what we already have, the remembrance of that thrilling sensation of flying through space. But now for the dinner. I sec you are ready, gentlemen. Let us go in. ---------- Concerning an Beroplane 36 Xeon Sabin Ccben, X., '12 NCE more the world was in confusion. The greatest nation on the face of the earth, the United States, was again engaged in conflict with little Mexico. Secretly the Japs were being brought into Mexican terri- tory to help that country resist the “Stars and Stripes.” The wily Japs eluded the swiftest of the Yankee cruisers and destroyers as they plied along both Mexican coasts. Germany and Eng- land were becoming agitated, and a war involving all of the nations of the earth was thought far from improbable. The United States militia was ranged along the Rio Grande. Volunteers had been called for by Commander-in-Chief Woods—particularly avia- tors and aeroplanes. These were expected to play an important part in the struggle. After en- thusiastic preparation of my aeroplane, I hurried to the scene of strife. Immediately on arriving at San Antonio I made daily endurance flights with my four fellow volunteer birdmen, who were al- ready in the field. SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 263 Early on the morning of the third day. as two of tlie machines were out to reconnoitre and two were incapacitated. I was pressed into service in response to an urgent order of General Woods. Breathless and roadworn spies brought news of a Mexican plot to overtake the brigade which was marching under General Carter towards El I’aso. to join the forces there stationed. Following this news the general sent me my command. In- stantly my machine was prepared for flight. In a twinkling, rumor brought soldiers scurrying from the barracks and people hastening from the town to witness the start. I ascended. A hearty cheer, several times repeated, bade me good luck. I looked down. Below me was a crowd of men and women growing smaller and smaller: the brown of our soldiers and the many-colored Span- ish garb with flying handkerchiefs gradually melted into one gray spot. Soon it was behind me. Ahead were the monotonous stretches of Texan plain. For hours there passed beneath a slightly-changing landscape of rivers and brown- ish fields, dotted here and there with villages. As the evening came on and the lines of the objects below became less and less distinguishable. I ob- served a dark, moving mass directly under me. The dusk rendered my glasses useless. But I was sure that this mass hurrying towards a hill not far on, which was an ideal spot for a night rest, was tlie Mexican troops rushing on to overtake Car- ter. Doubling my speed I soon saw on the other side of the hill what anneared to be a regiment pitching camp for the night. My heart beat fast. This, I thought, was Carter! 1 was just in time. 1 descended rapidly through the night. Within a few feet of the ground I discovered to my horror that these were the Mexicans. Instead of over- taking Carter t’hey were heading him off. I made a frantic effort to rise again, but too late! A shout, telling me I was discovered, was followed almost instantly by the report of several rifles. Night grew black. One bullet whizzed by my head. Another lodged painfully in my arm. Darkness! About me was a hazy, white mist. Gradually 1 discerned my surroundings. But was not this one of our hospitals? Was not the genial face above me the face of a Yankee nurse? Bv what miracle was I here? The doctor made all plain to me. The Mexican rifleshots had aroused Car- ter's pickets. During the night a battle had been fought in which the Mexicans were routed. Then after all I had arrived in time to warn Carter. Relieved. I sank back on to the comfortable pil- lows to dream of home. IP hi Blpba The I'hi Alpha girls feel very sorry when they realize that their year of active membership i over. A set of luncheons was given at the differ- ent girls homes during the year. Their gentle- men'' night was held at the home of Mildred Win- ship. where a very enjoyable evening was spent. They gave their annual dance in April at An- tlioilic's Academy, and it was considered a great success by all who attended. In May came their theatre party, and the girls of the preceding year, for whom it was given, enjoyed The Arcadians” very much. Finally came their initiation, at which the following girls were taken into membership: Edvthc Miller, president; Edith Hodges, secre- tary: Ruth Walker, treasurer; Marion Doten, Elizabeth Burns, and Alice Etheridge. It is hoped that they will have as pleasant and succe - ftil a year as this year has been. 264 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 'Resignation of tnr. Baxter Somerville’s most noted graduate this year is our honored principal, George Lewis Laxter, who retires after a long and faithful service of forty-four years as headmaster of the old Somer- ville High and of the present Latin High. His resignation was a surprise to every one,— scholars, teachers, and committeemen alike. While we regret that he felt that he must take this step, we also rejoice that-he is strong and able to enjoy the rest and pleasure which he now seeks, and which he so well deserves. Nearly three thousand pupils have been gradu- ated during his service, and each one has felt the influence of his personality and work, as was well set forth in a poem dedicated to him by a former pupil:— “Lives thou hast moulded, men and women made. Through thirty years with patient daily care. Though far apart their wandering steps have strayed, Thine is the mark, the impress, that they bear.” Mr. Baxter was born in Quincy, Mass., Octo- ber 21. 18-12, the son of William W. and Ann K. (Weld) Baxter. The family traces its descent in America from Gregory Baxter, who came from England with Governor Winthrop. and married Margaret Paddy, sister of . William Paddv. of the Plymouth colony. The house built in 1(1(50 by John Baxter, son of Gregory, is still standing in Quincy. Mr. Baxter and his older brother were always looking forward to teaching, and both made re- markable progress. At the age of eleven George L. Baxter entered on his preparatory course for college in the Quincy High School, and gradu- ated from Harvard College with high honors at the age of twenty. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, which is the oldest Greek letter society and admits only students of high scholarship. A few years after graduating with the degree of bachelor of arts, the master of arts degree was conferred upon him. In 1905 Tufts College awarded him the degree of doctor of letters. Mr. Baxter's first public school was the Read- ing High, where he was principal for nine months. For the next three years he was princi- pal of the high school at Plymouth, and in 18(57 he came to Somerville. During his term as master. Mr. Baxter has himself taught every subject in the curriculum of the school except German. At present he teaches Greek and laboratory physics. In one year three of his graduates were taken into Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard. With the exception of four months in 1892. when he spent a winter in Bermuda for his health. Mr. Baxter has not been absent from his school one day since 1867. He is still strong and active, and intensely interested in his work. In 1872 Mr. Baxter married Miss Ida F. SOM ERVI LLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 265 Paul, who was a junior in the high school when he came to Somerville. In front of his house is a row of chestnut trees, which he raised from seeds planted in 1878. lie has always been deeply interested in raising trees and in every form of gardening. In the yard of his Warren-avenue home he has made the wild columbine, bloodroot, lady’s slipper, and other kinds of wild flowers flourish successfully. .Mr. Baxter also takes great pleasure in using all sorts of tools, and is proficient in their use. He himself made a large part of the apparatus used in the physics laboratory at the Latin School. Mr. and Mrs. Baxter have one son. Gregory Paul, born in 1S7 . who is assistant professor of chemistry at Harvard. He graduated from Harvard in 18!); . received his A. M. degree in 1807, and Ph. I), in 1800. K. r � ► r Within a day or two some three hundred odd students will pass from the Somerville High Schools to seek a place in life. Many will con- tinue their education at college or at normal schools, but the majority will enter the business world at once. Go where they may. they will show the effects of their high school training, and will, let us hope, reflect credit on their Alma Mater. Graduation means much to the Seniors. It means the breaking up of old associations and friendships, and. in a sense, starting anew. Some, many in fact, feel a sense of regret as graduation approaches when they compare their career in high school with what it might have been. However, “no chains so unworthy to bind us as those of a vain regret. so the quotation runs. Let us hope that we may correct our school-day faults by energetic action in the work-a-day world. Probably at no time does a class feel so loyal to a school as on its eve of departure. Seniors now realize that the school has done its full share for them, and that it is for them to uphold the honor of the school outside its walls. May this feeling of loyalty go with every member of the class of lflll. Congratulations to the baseball team on its xcellent work this spring. Coach l ift has, with- out doubt, made a most creditable showing with the boys. Commencing with none too good an outlook at the first of the season, the team has ccnie to be regarded as one of the strongest in interscholastic circles. Aside from its good standing in the Suburban League. Somerville has been fairly successful against all comers. Judg- ing by the increased interest shown in high school baseball this season, we should be able to support a championship team in PM L r v The Radiato� presents its annual plea for in- creased high school accommodations, including a suitable gymnasium and an assembly hall. W hile we have no right to criticize in any manner the attitude of the school board and citizens in this matter, yet. as the official organ of the High Schools, we maintain with truth that much is left to be desired in the condition of these schools. The two-session plan in the English School has now been in operation one year. On the whole, the plan seems to have worked well. There has been a partial relief from over-crowding, and a change for the better in atmospheric conditions. It has. however, wrought disadvantages also, in- cluding greater expense to the city, and it is evi- dent that it is of value only as a temporary ex- pedient. In the matter of care for the physical condition of high school students. Somerville is sadly lacking. A sound mind and a sound body are closely related. Our city is most solicitious of the development of our minds, but forgets our bodies completely. An adequate gymnasium is imperative for our physical welfare. It is a disgrace that the Somerville High Schools do not boast of an assembly hall worthy of the name. Such a hall is most necessary to school life, both for education and pleasure. It is perhaps of equal importance with the gym- nasium. 255 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Somerville, while by no means a wealthy municipality. L by no means poverty stricken. Neighboring suburban cities, including Medford. Malden. Everett. Newton, and brooklinc, have high school buildings fully adequate for their population. As a matter of civic pride, it seems as though Somerville should do as well for its high school students as these cities have done for their younger generation. We hope that the citizens of Somerville will consider the subject in a broad manner and see to it that the high schools of this city receive their due at as early a date as possible. • 9 The present Radiator staff make their fare- well bow with this issue. ()n the whole, the year has been a pleasant one for the Radiator. 1 he two schools have shown considerable interest in the publication, and have done well in the matter of contributions and of financial support. The editor is most grateful for the spirit of hearty co-operation shown by the members of the present staff. Team work, which is a very necessary adjunct to a paper, has been displayed in a large extent. The associate and alumni editors have been remarkably efficient in their departments, while the sporting and exchange editors have shown clever originality. The fi- nancial end. guided by Mr. Hosmer's watchful eye. has kept the paper on a satisfactory pe- cuniary basis. Miss Merrill, of the English School, and Miss Smith, of the Latin School faculty, by their supervision of the publication, have helped the staff by advice and suggestion, for which we most heartily thank them. file purpose of the staff this year has been to uphold, as far as possible, the high standard set by previous staffs. Acting on the principle that variety is the spice of life. a few minor changes have been made, such as heavier quality paper, simpler cover design, and change of ar- rangement. Two serial stories have been pub- lished. but. candidly, the staff has concluded that, as a general rule, the school paper is better with- out the continued story. An effort to gather a complete tile cf the Radiator from the time of the beginning of its existence has met with success. Hereafter each staff will present a bound copy of its volume to each school. With the best wishes to our successors, and confident that they will produce a volume far su- perior to our own. we bid the Radiator a fond farewell. Those who wish summer tutoring will be pleased to learn that they can secure the services of Mr. Wilkins, as in former years, and they will kindly take notice of his advertisement in the back of this issue. Scholars who have received in- struction from him in the past can testify as to what a benefit his teaching has been to them. ---------------------------------- IRew IRaMator Staff The Radiator staff elected for is as follows:— Editor-in-Chief....Francis J.

Senior carrying a pile of books sings vigor- ously: Help. Lord!” Fox and Hamann have changed their method of showing their brotherly affection. They now greet each other like civilized people. Some one in translating German says: She shed thick tears.” Think how mortified the lady would feel could she but know how her dignity has suffered. In Physics:— What would happen to us if the world should suddenly stop moving? “Nothing, much, except that we would not stop. Alas, no. we and the world would suddenly part company never to meet again! ” Watch Hamann run for Room is at recess! We now have sufficient proof that “Bone's head is wood indeed.

Soon we shall be full-fledged Seniors, and enter into our fourth and last year of high school life, which is undoubtedly the most interesting. Let us each and everyone return brimful of vigor and spirit, ready to support everything connected with the school and to graduate in one short year hence. Teacher: Tell what you know of the Achean and Eolian Leagues.” Polly: When it rained did they give rain checks?” Parker says he paid five dollars a dozen for his 273 handkerchiefs.

If Hart runs to school every morning, where does Byron? If Merrill calls Miss II—y Lucy, what will Ed- gar Kaula? If George goes down Maine fishing, where will Everett Hunt? Carpenter (translating):— Was tut man mit deni Misser? Man isot mit dem Misser. Do you. Clint? We take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who has in any way assisted us in main- taining the standard of the column throughout the year. It is rumored that a number of girls in our class have organized a boating club. In such an event we may expect to see many of the girls pad- dling around the buoys. No use talking, Harvie certainly stands in with that Kemah bunch. And yet the exams will still go on. Ne'er once will our brave school fall. Though brains do ache and brave hearts sink Within its stately wall. Jones thinks that he will need a vacuum cleaner to use on his brains after vacation. A chick is or will be a hen. so why won’t Chick Plialen be Henry Phalen when he grows up? Student Baseball Fan: They corresponded to our American and National baseball leagues.

If Anderson tells funny stories, what will Mar- tell? If Merrill weighs 200 pounds, what will Con- way? We wish each member of our class a most happy and pleasant vacation.

Waiter’s IRcccpttcn On Saturday evening. May 2i . the nicnihers of the Senior class of the Latin School were de- lightfully entertained at the home of their princi- pal on Warren avenue, a custom which l)r. Lax- ter has maintained throughout his long years of service. Almost every Senior was there, besides Messrs. Hawes. Sprague. Hosmer. and Loring and Misses Smith and Connor, of the faculty. The guests were presented to Dr. and Mrs. Lax- ter by the president of the class. Xorville L. Mil- more. Photographs of former teachers and pu- pils of the school were much enjoyed, and Mrs. Laxter served a bountiful collation. A violin solo. “Souvenir of the Alps. was finely ren- dered by Miss Grace M. Rockwell, and wos fol- lowed by a soprano solo by Miss Palmyra M. Lemos. The class history. The Log of PM 1. which was composed by Miss Miriam R. King- man and Parker Xewhall. was read by the latter. Miss Helen Weekes sang Forgotten. and the poem, The Messengers of Spring. was recited by Miss Ruth P. Stone, the author. This was followed by a reading, Kentucky Cinderella, by Miss Julia F. Currier. The prophecies, written and read by Miss Katherine E. Griffin and Homer A. Sargent, were listened to most atten- tively. The programme was closed by Miss Helen M. Kaula singing Mavourneen. Le- fore the party broke up. President Milmorc ad- dressed the class. and then cheers were given for Dr. and Mrs. Laxter and the faculty. Class 2 ay fi3.ierctses The Class Day exercises of the English School were held on Thursday. June S. when the entire student body assembled on the lawn in front of the building as in previous years. Headmaster Avery opened the exercises with a few appropri- ate remarks, and then introduced John Laurie, president of the Senior Class. Laurie introduced the orator. Alfred L. Sullivan, after the Pilgrims' ( horns had been sung by the school. The ora- tion. dealing with universal peace, was delivered in a most excellent manner, such as to win the commendation of the entire audience. Wilfred V. Chandler presented the class gift, a picture, which was accepted by Mr Avery in behalf of the school. The class ivy. brought by Miss Pushee from Heidelberg. Germany, was planted by the ivy committee, comprising Ernest Fisher. Zillah Campbell, and Harry Smith. Howard Shaffer, president of the Junior class, received the spade with which the ivy was planted in behalf of his class. A pleasing selection.

Besides knowing everything about his lessons, he can tell you the name of every girl in the Latin School. His opinion of the opposite sex. which he tried to impress upon 11s in the re- cent T.

His favorite song is “The Ladies.” He has created somewhat of a sensation in the feminine world, and may be seen nightly wending his way to some “spiel” or tea with Miss Somc-One-or-Other. “Art” Donahue has become so expert in parry- ing hot shots, as a result of his experience as goal-tender on the hockey team and catcher on the baseball team, that the teachers have given up all hope of ever dispersing that smile. The height of his “ambish is to become prexv of Radcliflfe. By the way he chooses those window- seats we conclude that his favorite air is cool air. His motto: “To do. rather than be done.” Mabel Blaser—Age uncertain, anywhere be- tween five and six. Will some one kindly tell her, will some one answer true. “Is Mount Vernon still standing?” Mabel just adores Latin, and is thinking of translating her pet expression. What d’ye know about that? into that language. Walter Duncan is the deep thinker of the class, although he showed in recent amateur theatricals that he was a huge success as a real “honcst-to- goodness crook. His air of mental absorption completely hoodwinks the wily professors, and causes them to choose some other prey for their traps and snares. Did you ever see him without his glasses? Really, he looks like an ordinary high school student. Beatrice Heckbert. a quiet young miss. i famed for her elaborate coifi’urcs. She is thinking of taking a course in advanced whispering.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 28 SMnemlle Xoses Second Xeague Game On Wednesday. May 3, Somerville lost her second league game in the suburban series to Melrose, 3 to i. The weather was more like fall than summer, a chilly wind sweeping the field and at times raising large clouds of dust. The regu- lar team, with the exception of Parks, played, his place being filled by J. Mitchell. Although young and inexperienced. Mitchell played a good game at third, making one put-out. two assists, and no errors. The three errors scored against Somej ville went to the battery. Garland making two and Laurie one. Laurie pitched the entire game well, allowing seven hits and striking out eight men. Cram, of Melrose, out-did his opponent, allow- ing four hits and striking out twelve men. Neither pitcher gave a base-on-balls. Melrose secured her lead in the first inning by W'inship and (lately both beating out easy bunts. Roth men stole at the same time, and both scored on Crowell’s two-bagger to left field. Townsend returned the hit just a second too late to catch (lately at the plate. A third run was pre- vented by a beautiful throw from deep centre by Dickson, the ball going straight to the plate in time to catch Crowell. Somerville failed to score. In the third Melrose secured her third and last tally. W’inship again beat out a butt, and (lately sent another past Laurie. W anamaker fouled to Garland, but both runners advanced one base. W’inship then scored on a slow grounder to Fallis by Collins. Townsend made a hard catch of Crowell’s smashing binglc, retiring the side. Somerville scored her only run in this inning. O’Donoghue hit to shortstop, but McLetehie fumbled, and he was safe. Garland connected for a three-bagger to right field, scoring O’Donoghue. Laurie and W illiams struck out. leaving Rob n third. It looked as if Melrose would score again in the sixth, but good head work and fielding spoiled all chances. W’anamaker hit several fouls, and then hit a smashing drive to Laurie, who threw him out at first. Collins hit safely, and reached second on Crowell’s sacrifice. Crowell reaching first on Williams’ error. Cheissong Hied to Townsend, who returned the ball in time to pre- 290 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR vent any runners advancing. After a double steal.

Whittaker was in the box for Somerville, and pitched good ball against Cram, of Melrose. Somerville won, but Melrose was not beaten until the last man was out. There was |uite a shake-up in the Somerville team. Fallis being out because of his hurt sustained in the Everett game. Garland took his place at first, and Mitchell played in right-field. Whittaker, in his first league game, showed up well against the veteran Cram. Both men passed three. Whittaker struck out twelve, and made two wild pitches; Cram struck out thir- teen. Each pitcher fanned the other once, but Whittaker touched Cram for one hit. Williams. Norton, and Parks played a fast game for Som- erville. while Garland played well, but was un- accustomed to his position, making two errors. Knox and Wanamaker divided the honors in catching, both playing a snappy and hard game. Melrose scored her only run in the fifth. Wil- son. the first man up. drew a pass and stole sec- ond. Cram hit a pop fly to Williams. Winship hit safely over third, advancing Wilson, but was caught at second by a quick throw, Knox to Norton. Wilson scored on Gatelcy's hit to centre-field.

Somerville loses to TKHaltbam, 0 to 0 In a loosely played game Somerville lost to Waltham at Waltham on Monday. May 22. Somerville got fifteen hits and nine passes, but poor batting and slow and stupid base-running enabled the local team to win. Norton was the only Somerville man to successfully steal a base. Holmes pitched for Somerville, and did better than the score shows. With usual support Som- erville would have pulled out ahead. Although he struck out four men and gave five passes, SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 294 siunc of the nine hits credited to Waltham should have been clean outs with ordinary speed in field- ing.

Stankard scored on Harry's bounder, which hit Harks in the face. Kilson and Harry scored on Cobb's base-hit. There was no one out, but clever fielding by Somerville stopped the scoring.

Then came a slump, Williams and Dickson strik- ing out. Somerville got two in the seventh, two in the eighth, and one in the ninth. In the seventh, with one down. Harks walked and Laurie got a base hit. both scoring on Garland's single. Hob tried to steal, but was caught. In the eighth Knox singled and Holmes drew a pass.

The door of the little old- fashioned house, a house which was of the type • over which so many artists rave, opened, and Hezekiah Patterson came slowly down the narrow path to the country road. He was an old man. left with only a few distant rela- tives. but nevertheless he usually had a sense of humor about him. At the bend in the road lie met Silas Holton, an old. old friend of his. “Mornin’, Si. how be ye?” Why, how de do, Heck! I’m feeling pretty smart. How be you? “Oh, just ’bout the same as ever. Say, Si, you know what day ’tis? “Yes. I do, it’s the first day of April. Why?” Yes. Si. you’re just right. It’s April Fool’s day. You know. I wonder if you remember when we fooled old Parson Jones right here in this very spot?” Let’s sec, Heck. Ilaw, haw, haw! You just bet ver life I do. That was sixty-five years ago; you was about fifteen, and I was sixteen. I guess. Haw! haw! it was a lot of fun. wasn’t it? Both the old men laughed as though they were boys again and just as roguish as ever. By the roadside was a piece of brown paper and a string, which evidently some one had thrown away while driving by. Say. Si. that might scare a horse.” He! he! Heck. Let’s do it again. All right. I’ll get the boulder, and you get that old paper. Hezekiah got the boulder, and Silas wrapped it up and tied it neatly with the string; then they placed it in the middle of the road. It would have made the saddest person smile to see those two tottering old men. boys again, climb over the old stone wall to await their first victim. They were patiently listening, when suddenly and with great anxiety Silas exclaimed: “Hark! here comes somebody, Heck ! Can’t yer hear ’uni?” H’m. He! I guess they’ll be mad. When the steps seemed to be just about at the proper spot, they peered up a little way over the stone wall, only to see .Farmer Simson’s cow sniff at the bundle, lift her blinking eyes, and deliber- ately walk off, swishing her tail, as much as to say, Xo flies on me. ’Well, well. Si. I gue; 5 we re the fools this time Better luck next time, though ’tis kinder tiresome squattin’ down here behind this old wall. “Yes. guess ’tis, specially when any one is plagued with rheumatiz like you and me be. After a lor.g wait, just as the two old cronies were a tritie discouraged and about ready to give up the undertaking, they heard the unmistakable hoof beats of a galloping horse. Heck raised his head cautiously, and peered through the crack be- tween two stones in the wall. “By golly! if it ain’t the postmaster, Si! “Xow. by gracious, we’ll get it back on him.fer a-readin’ all our postage cards,” Si said with a laugh. They watched and listened, and almost ex- ploded with suppressed laughter as their victim dismounted and seized the tempting bait. The stone, heavy and loosely wrapped, slipped from the paper, and in its fall hit one of the horses’ rear hoofs, upon which, being frightened, he ran away at his top speed down the road. The postmaster, throwing away the paper, and realizing lie had been tricked, started in pur- suit of the fleeing animal, but lie wasn’t fast enough to escape the peels of jeering laughter that the two old boys sent after him from over the wall. Hi there. Isaac, said Si, “April fool! Hay there, Isaac, said II?ck. April fool!” That night, just as the postmaster was putting out his last light in his general store, two crouch- ing figures might have been seen entering the back door. Evidently they made a bargain with the postmaster not to disclose their secret, as a few minutes afterwards they emerged from the front door, each with a new corn-cob pipe in his hand, saying Good night!’’ in a friendly way to the victim of their joke. The next Sabbath morning, as Deacon Heze- kiah Patterson and Deacon Silas Bolton met in the vestibule of the little country church, the for- mer said to the latter: Say, Si, come over to the house after supper and well smoke our April fool pipes. And Silas said: Yes, Heck, I guess I will.” SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR 30S Head Maxtor. John A. Avery.....................22 Dartmouth Street Maxtor. Everett W.
