mruaieiawarfwuteueue 33? MY FAVORITE ADVENTURER l'fT'S see-Cortez, he's an adventurer. But no, he's too bloody. Then there's Sir Raleigh-he is very bold, yet he has not the fire of many others. Hol hum! this idea of choosing an adventurer is not so easy. I wonder- Horrorsl! I sat up with a jerk. There before me stood the figure of Shakespeare as clear and real as a full portrait of him. I shrank back with fear, but as I stood staring at him, I noticed that his face was kind and noble. He beckoned to me and I was magnetized into following him. VVe passed through unfamiliar surroundings until at last we came to what seemed the large drawing room of a castle. The apparition then spoke saying, My dear student, should you like to see some of the characters of my writings ? I was puzzled but curious so I readily assented. He bade me seat myself, and then he seemed to fade into the shadows of the room, and lol there stood Hamlet and Ophelia. The voice said, 'lThese are two of my favorite characters. I was very sad and out of sorts when I wrote Hamlet, still I consider it one of my best. Well, we must not tarry or we will not see many characters. The players left just as silently as they had appeared, and now before me stood Qrlando, writing poetry. 'AI was rather sentimental when I wrote this book. Its name is .15 You Like It, continued Shakespeare. Then appeared Falstaff. His fat form and villainous visage made him a very grotesque figure. He comes from King Edteard the Fourth, a jolly good fellow, tool Next came my favorites, Romeo and Juliet. As they stood there with their arms about one another, Shakespeare's countenance grew soft, and his eyes seemed to be pools of infinite beauty. He continued, Romeo and Juliet! lNIy mood needs no explanation. I was in love when I wrote that one. Student, I could show you hundreds of others, but these I thought would interest you most. Do you see, I broke the bonds of the writers of my time. I wrote of love, tragedy, and humor, and I, in some cases, told the incidents in a man's lite from birth to death. I despised the stiff or brutal plays that were the rage, and wrote for the coming generations -for you and all your associates to dream, to act, to live. I bore the brunt of criticism. I was an adventurer in literature. lNIy student, I groped in the dark, not knowing what results I should some- time see, but I hoped for the best and I believe I achieved it. Good-bye I I awoke with a start. YVhy, I must have been dreaming! Well, Lady l.uck surely smiled at me, for Shakespeare, a real favorite of mine, had settled the question of my adventurer. -HI4ILP2N I..xNGiaRT. 'flffho ran tell, save he wlioxff hear! has trif'11.
