THE KIDD IContinuedI The ground, still slighty soft from the seasons rain, held their foot- prints, out of the temple and back again, as a clay molding holds its cast. A splashing from the river caused them to turn. They peered cautiously at the river from behind the trees. Lumbering leisurely out of the water were four or live pale green croco- diles. Strike my colors! cried the ex- cited Captain Kidd. Gathering around him, the men saw-a foot- print! In the silence of awe that fol- lowed, they heard the faraway beat of native tom-toms. Already some seventy-five miles inland and worn with their hardships of travel, tired from their days of digging, the men look toward their captain for ad- vice-what were they to do? Armed to the teeth, they yet' seemed weak before a tribe of native warriors. The numerous birds overhead sud- dently flocked together and seemed to cast an ominous cloud over the men. It was an ill omen, a foresha- dowing of bad luck. What were they to do? While they pondered, soft foot- steps padded in the forest and white eyes gleamed from ebony faces. Suddenly finding themselves sur- rounded by native figures that seem- ed to have melted from black fo' rest, the men were quick to draw but found it futile. A hasty glance at the crocodiles proved that there was no escape from the river. There they were, surrounded by the dreaded Hovas, ruling tribe of the Malagasy, They fought despera- tely for their lives, but were over- come at last. They huddled together and talked in low tones. Struck by spears and motioned forward, they slowly ascended the path up the mountain. Over swing- ing native bridges, through dense tropical jungles, past resting lizards and chameleons, they were led to the I-lovas main village, almost hidden at the foot of a large mountain. A large clearing was directly in front of what appeared to be the chiefs abode. He himself was resting under an oddly fashioned umbrella before his adobe hut. Not a word had been spoken by the natives during the trip, but upon 4' ' .Pu zzzzii onus zzziz I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I iooqoaxviv oqoaxoazoozroqoaqa :soya gig 'P o1oa1o1v1oaQoa3cQoc2o1saQv1oc1oa1v41va:va:o42o1s-a1vaia24Qso:s 4141210490 -nivoboobootboboolcbooiovti' 'P+ o1s4I+1Qv01v4Qo-ij-aivivaivatoabvaio I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 'Inf 4' 410030 0Qbiv41v4DvQIb01+0bv0I04Qoa1ooIoioQbvo1b41vib11v01dIvZv0Qb11vQQo I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I III EI III.-- an VE IMT' .C0'0P mglb, aifzy otsaiaxooxoatvivatoaxoaivoxooxvisaivoxvoxooiotvaxoocoiooxooivxo Lenior Rhyne College ICO-EDUCATIONALI HICKORY, NORTH CAROLINA Competent and Experienced Faculty.

As the Adventure Galley, topped by the black and white Ioliy Roger, neared Madagascar, Captain Wil- liam Kidd came on deck to view for the first time the isle of his dreams- his dreams of gold. How many times had he seen this very coast on his treasured map! How many times, his men gathered around him, had he traced the trail to the buried temple! Here he saw Madagascar before him, gold somewhere on its 288,000 square miles and within his grasp. They sailed up the coast and, be- cause of Madagascar's many rocks and lagoons, dropped anchor be- tween the mainland and St. Marie, an island on the east coast. Carry- ing a supply of provisions, they row- ed to the mainland. The crew scrambled out, half ran, half swam from boats to shore. They shouted with joy, ran, swam, bathed in the beauty of the land, in their thoughts of gold. Captain Kidd, who, in 1696, was approaching middle age, sent his men to explore the coast land. Tall palms and ebony trees bor- dered the coast, with a belt of fifteen or twenty miles of dense forest be- yond. The men had found the ravi- nala, or travelers tree, from which they were drinking the refreshing liquid of its fruit, as they would later of the cocoanut, which grew further inland. Before him he saw the moun- tains, through which the setting sun cast its gloriously golden rays. 'N i' i i Golden rays, indeed! In sooth, gold itself? There it lay, buried deep in the temple of Nosse, itself buried by lava of volcanoes long since dead. Gold! Gathered around the knobbed trunks, wild with joy, the men ran their fingers through it, danced around it, and in their joy seemed oblivious of all the beauty of the temple-its carved idols, ivory water vessels, and other relics of yesteryear. They had traveled seventy-five miles inland, dug two days in the temple, and now they must carry the treasure back. With only the first part of it out of the temple yet, the men had stop- ped to rest and refresh themselves from the ravinala's fruit. abooxsazoaiioobsaboabooxvabo oqbvcbvcbvoxveiapolvtooisai ai U'HANLUN'S Drug Store 5 For forty years North Caroiina's leading drug store. o1oo3a1ra1v1a1oa1vatoo1sa1s-is What Every Young uc-iradu Should Know Sosnik's Career Shop is the place for sizes 9 to 17 to buy clever clothes whether you're college bound or business bent.

THE KIDD tContinuedl arrival at the village, orders were suddenly flung here and there in a Malayan language, foreign to all the pirates. Stakes, set at even intervals, were designated for each one, and each was carried to his stake by two strong black Hovas. One freed him- self, but no sooner had he done so than twice as many more were upon him and he was bound, like the others, by the narrow but strong for- est vines. All through the night preparations were made for them, and around midnight, when the fire was brigh- test and hottest, the war dance be- gan. Everyone took part, from the oldest veteran to the youngest child. Bells on knees emphasized the crackling of the flames, and stamping feet were heedless of the hot sparks thrown from the fire. The men, growing desperate, their hair and clothing signed from the outskirts of the fire, watched the dance with dilated eyes and fast bea- ting hearts. Their gold taken from them, cap- tured by natives, and ready to be burned, there seemed no hope for them, 'iBilly! Time to come in. O, K., Mom. The children threw aside their pa- per hats, drew the lolly Roger from the pole over the tub, and went in to eat their supper and later to dream of their golden treasure. The king was in his counting house Counting out his money The queen was in the parlor Eating bread and honey. Doesn't she care about her figure? A man was standing under a bridge lt crashed down on his head Death was caused by fallen arches, The coroner's jury said. lt makes one sick to repeat The line, l'm back on my feet Meaning, not of sickly clues, But lack of half-soled shoes.
