21 EXCHANGES With this, our first issue, we send out a very hearty ■welcome to all our Exchanges and we hope that we will hear from them all very soon. Sound Waves, South Junior High, Waltham, Mass.: Your editorials are well worth commendation, espe- cially “Everlasting Keeping At It Brings Success.” We also found your “Profecies” very amusing. Huttlestonian, Fairhaven High School, Fairhaven, Mass.: One couldn’t imagine how much we enjoyed the “Senior Play From Behind the Scenes.” It was so realistic that we could actually picture “Cappy Ricks.” We missed the jokes and editorials in your last edi- tion. Ottawanian, Ottawa Hills High School, Grand Rap- ids, Michigan: Your “Little Pig” number was unique. We find your humor department very original, but think that if a few more jokes were added, it would be faultless. We take it for granted that football is .your major sport. Are we right? The Norther, North Dallas High School, Dallas, Texas: The Literary Department of your Christmas issue made a tremendous “hit” with us here in Som- erville. It was impossible for the Exchange Editor to keep track of the magazine, everyone was so in- terested in “What I Know About Boys.” You can be sure that the boys were in on this, too. “Whatcha Wanna Know?” was certainly someone’s original idea. The Huntington Record. Huntington School, Boston, Mass.: We’d like to suggest that you add at least one more editorial to your paper, as we think this would make it a bit more outstanding. Your “Wind- ing Brooks” follow an amusing path. The Massachusetts Collegian, Massachusetts Agri- cultural College, Amherst, Mass.: Congratulations or having a very “newsy” paper, at least in our estima tion. Your “By Jove” is exceptional, but we woulc. like to suggest that you mingle a joke or two among your various articles. The Madisonian, Madison High School, Madison, N. II.: Your editorials are very well written, but they are not quite long enough. Your poetry is some of the best that we have read. The Crusader, Honesdale High School, Honesdalc, Pa.: Members of Honesdale High, you should feel very proud of your publication, it is great! We rank it as ONE of our finest exchanges. We think your Literary Department a great success and, as to your Exchange Department, well, we might possibly take pattern by it. I’m referring to the arrangement. The Orange Leaf, Orange High School, Orange, X. J.: We find your School News very nicely arranged, and also well written. After reading “Backward and For- ward” we realize that you deserve much credit for your splendid work in making over your publication. The Reflector, Woburn High School, Woburn, Mass.: Your Class Notes are very cleverly written and so is your Poetry. We really have to say that we enjoy your editorials and this is out of the ordinary, for as a rule we find editorials very “dry,” but yours run contrary to form. We Acknowledge the Following Exchanges: The Botolphian, Boston College High School, Boston, Mass. Homespun, Senior High School, Greensboro, North Carolina. The Bostonion, Memorial High School for Boys, Rox- bury, Boston, Mass. He: “Do you know the gorilla song?” She: “Why no, I don’t believe —” He: “Gorilla, my dreams, I love you —” —V. M. I. Sniper. Doesn’t it seem just like old times to have Miss Bell back with us again ? Drawn by Pando.

(Continued from Page 12) mendous fury, his body straightened like an ar- row, he leapt, full seven feet off the earth, a distance of ten feet, at Alvan. They struggled, and then the two sank to earth together, a crumpled heap of death. “Powerful poison,” said Norman, examining the fluid in the bag. “Leopold saved our lives.” They dug the graves that morning, and set cut again. Leaving death behind them, they expected death for themselves in the near fu- ture. The caravan journeyed northward. The next day came. The camels were weakening. The people could not converse. No word dropped from any man’s lips except a feeble, “water, water.” But then, the next day, they saw a walled city in the midst of the desert. It was no mir- age, for a short time later they found them- selves outside the very walls, and in front of a door. They entreated to come in, and the door was opened by a man who gave them that blessed water. They remained there a week, and then one day Mr. Evans sought out his host in the living rcom of the house. Beside him was a young girl working, whom the host introduced as his daughter, Adah. After acknowledging the in- troduction, Mr. Evans said: “Thank you very much for your hospitality, but we must be go- ing now — back to Algeria.” The host jumped up, and stamping his foot, said in broken English: “No—no. Nev’r. You nev’r leave. I tell yo’ why. I am ch’ef o’ Arab tribe — live here — in dis city. Dis secre’ tribe. No one know ’cept you. We worship Abd-el-ra, our god ancestor. He god — real god. Our ancestor — our ideal — our hero. No one else worship. You come — find our secre’ hidin’ place. You stay forever, forever. Our secre’ no one shall know. You stay. You no go. I learn English when I wen’ away to find out about the world, and brin’ back news to my tribe. But you nev’r go. “Out,” and he pointed to the door. Mr. Evans went and told his companions the news. “We’ll escape tomorrow,” they said. Tomorrow came and went. “We’ll go tomorrow,” they still said. And so it went on for a week. One dark night, a tap came at the door. “Come in,” cried Norman. In came Adah. “Yo go now, queek. Quiet! Fader, de chief, no near door. Yo escape. He no’f side of wall. Dat is so’f side.” They hurried out and mounted the camels that were corralled near-by. Then, following Adah, they reached the gate. Betty, leaning down from her seat, shook Adah’s hand grate- fully. They filed out and rode southward. Gradu- ally they worked to the north. From where they were, they saw a figure squatting on the wall. It was their host, a man who loved his religion and people well enough to, night after night and year after year, keep an uncomplain- ing, silent watch over his walled domain.
