'29 18 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER THE CRASH The sun beat down on the broad, open field and the small cluster of bunk- houses. Groups of young men were lounging in the shade of the bunk-houses readf ing or talking. The scene was in an aviation school in the northern part ot Kentucky, and here many young men were preparing for their future work. Suddenly, above the noisy chatter of the young men, could be heard the far- away hum of a motor. All eyes were turned upward as the hum became louder. I.ook! someone cried, it is young Fulton. He is a regular bird, but some day he is going to take one dive too many l Young Fulton landed his plane after a fancy dive, and stepped smilingly out to the ground. His fellow students crowded around him shouting their praises. He towered above them like a huge. good-natured, young giant. lle was their hero and pride. because of his daring flying and stunt-work. There was no one in camp who could beat him in flying. lt was nearing the end of their career and in about a month a festival was to be held. and, of course, everyone wished to do his best. Un the afternoon to which I refer, Fulton had gone out for practice. At dusk some of the boys heard the hum of Fulton's plane. and, as usual. were anxious to see what their hero would do. As their eyes followed the tiny speck which was l ulton's plane, they saw it dive, swerve. and climb again to a higher altitude, all the time coming nearer. Suddenly, the plane plunged swiftly downward, and to the honor of all. did not rise again. It landed nose down with a terrible crash: then followed a breathless silence. When the boys reached the wreck, Fulton was disentangling himself from the plane. lle was badly shaken, and one arm was limp, while on his face was a look of terror and anguish. l nIton's comrades bore him from the field, but try as they would, they could not get him to speak. Ile was taken to the doctor, and that was the last time he was seen for several weeks. lt became a rumor that the hero, Fulton, had lost his nerve, the most disgrace- ful thing that could happen to a young aviator. At first, his loyal comrades would not believe the report, but when he did not come back, their faith in him failed. lt is a shame! A terrible thing l they said. but Finally his name was of the past, as far as the young aviators were concerned. He was a quitter. and had lost his nerve! There was great excitement in the camp as the morning of the festival dawned fright and fair. Excellent for flying! the major said. Everywhere were young men in uniform, and gaily-dressed girls. First call for the fancy diving and stunts! sounded over the field. and the motors began to hum. To the surprise of all, Fulton was seated calmly in his plane at the starting line, but he was greatly changed. Instead of being merry, he was silent, and his face looked tense and white. The pistol shot sounded, and six planes began their upward flight, and then the stunts began. All the aviators were marvelous and daring, but one was excel- ling the rest. The plane swooped, dived, spun, and then took one great. terrifying, downward swoop. A great silence settled over the crowd as all eyes were riveted on the plane. lt was about one hundred feet from the ground, and a crash seemed inevit- able, when the huge plane shot upward and was lost to sight. The next that was seen of it, it was tearing across the field. and by the wire. Victorious! The crowd thronged toward the plane, but the police held them back, and only a few of the young men greeted the flyer. From the plane stepped Fulton, smiling, as we saw him at the beginning of our story. The boys would have borne him away on their shoulders. but he stopped them. Tllli t'lCl.ll.S'U.Y R.ff.lllfl-lfli' IU l irst, fellows, let me explain! llow like the lfulton they had known be- fore! You thought that l was a coward and had lost my nerve. The crash did shake me np. bnt l was not afraid of fiying. I was left deaf, and the terribleness of it nnnerved me so l eouldn't face you fellows. I left the camp, but nothing could be done for me. Today l was determined to race, anyway, and I did. llur- ing the great dive, something in my head snapped, and l could hear againf Iloys, you don't know what it means to mel You believe me, don't you? A great cheer arose, and he was borne away on the shoulders of his mates. P. W. R.. '3l. THE BANKER GOES FISHING FOR BROOK TROUT Une warm, bright, sunny Saturday last summer, Mr. l. M. Upright. a short fat man. president of the 1. O. Lf Trust, decided to go fishing for brook trout. lle thercfore went to Catsup and Sockunfs store and purchased a fishing outfit. After driving several miles into the country, he came to a bridge beneath which ran the deep, clear, sparkling stream, known as VVet lslrook, and which was the brook that a friend of his, Mr. O. U. Sketch, had directed him to and had told so many fish stories about. ' .-Xfter fishing along the thickly wooded banks of the brook and catching nothing, but his clothes on twigs, branches and briers, he emerged into a field through which the brook curved and formed deep pools. Un the bank of the first pool, that Mr. Upright came to, was a No Fishing sign. Mr. Upright told himself that he didn't believe in signs: and therefore seated himself beneath the sign. After fishing for awhile, the penetrating heat of the snn made him sleepy, and therefore he fell asleep. XVhile he was sleeping, Mr. C. D. Trick, a tall, old-fashioned, aged man, with a black felt hat, hooked nose and goatee, warden of llunk County, happened along and looked upon the sleeping banker with a puzzled scrutinizing look. As a consequence the fishing trip cost Mr. l. lll. Upright, of the I. 0. U. Trust, a fine of ten dollars. And furthermore, Mr. Upright believes in signs. FI. E. ll., 729.

THE PLAYGROUND OF DESERT NYMPHS The desert was a wide stretch of barren land except for a few cactus trees and sagebrush scattered here and there. It was a large desert, and was overhung on all sides by mountains which were covered by misty blue clouds. Most people wan- dering through this desert did not think of its beauty, nor did they wish to linger there, as it was a very hot and dusty plain. One day a company of young men came through this desert on horseback. ac- companied by an Indian guide. The guide, Whitecloud, formerly had been an old chief . but he had led his tribe into war and practically all had been killed except the chief himself and a few others who were taken captives. Their wigwams had been destroyed and the chief had no place to go. As he was growing old, he decided to do something, and as he knew all the paths of the desert and mountains, he had become a guide to tourists. .-Ks the company wandered along the desert, they came to a place where the chief stopped and told the men that here the war he had been in had taken place. Ile explained the war to them, told of all those who had fought, both white men and Indians, and of those who died. Chief Whitecloud believed that the spirits of those who had died were still here in the desert and that they appeared on moon- light nights in the forms of desert nymphs. He said that no one yet had seen them and he doubted if anyone ever would. It was now growing dark, and the mist was gathering over the mountains. The travelers, worn and weary, were getting drowsy and as the old chief talked. a dreamy, imaginative young man of the party, in his imagination, was living in the times when the war had been fought. He was sitting under a cactus, and as the blue mist swept over the mountain side. he saw in the hazy distance, descending from a cave in the mountains, a white figure which seemed to be flying through the air over the desert. One, two-yes, three-and now a whole line of figures ap- peared. They were nymphs, and they were dancing over the moonlit plains toward him. They were accompanied by beautiful music which seemed to fit per- fectly with the atmosphere of the moonlit desert and the dancing of the weird nymphs. some of which were dressed in flowing white robes and others in light blue robes. l low joyful and carefree they seemed as they tripped over the sandy desert! The young man now saw little elves, clothed in green robes, come forth from nowhere and bow at the beautiful maidens' feet. The music suddenly stopped, and there appeared in the moonlight an lndian chief. How strange that an Indian chief and nymphs should be associated! 'l'llli t'Rl.llSO.Y R.el.lll3l.lfR 721 Soon, to the young man's amazement, there appeared from everywhere- lndians, and soon the whole desert was occupied by them, both young and old. To his surprise he saw the wigwams appear in their long rows on the desert. Why had the Indians met here? Did they meet here very olten? .Ns he was wondering. he saw the Indians gather around a huge tire and the nymphs dance away through the air, followed by the elves. .Xs the morning light rose over the mountain peaks, the Indians also disappeared. leaving the young man sitting alone under the cactus tree. E. ll., '3lJ. HOW I BElE7XMEgIlli'ERSTITIOUS lt was lfriday the thirteenth and I was bound for lloston to see my friend Ruthie. As for the date. that did not bother me, for I was not the least bit super- stitious, and besides, thirteen always had been my lucky number. Un my way to the station, l noticed a black cat crossing the road. That oe- currence was an old whim of mother's, which meant one must not go on! llut it meant nothing to me. IIUOM ! HANG! bursted a tire on my car. l must not run my car on the rim, so out I jumped. and after much difficulty, with black hands and a greasy face, I started once more for the station. Un arriving there I dashed for track livc only to lind it lying bare: no cars. no train, all gone! l looked around wondering what to do, when I noticed l was standing directly under a ladder, a thing which my uncle had told me never to do unless l wished bad luck: from this I dashed. determined to reach lloston some- how-if I must drive. I sought the switch key, but in vain, it was gone! VVhat had I done with it? Once more I dashed from the car, and retracing my steps. found my key under that fatal ladder. Starting the car with no difficulty, l drove at full speed for lloston. with determination in my mind. After I had driven for what seemed hours. my car stopped-refused to go, absolutely. I looked at my gas gauge and found the zero mark present. I started walking back to the garage. which l had seen two miles toward home, when a nice lady gave me a ride, by the aid of which l reached the tilling station in a few moments. My gasoline tank being filled, I dodged into lloston with fifty cents in my pocket, with a dirty face, dirty hands, and not a very pleasing suit of clothes on. Not knowing the way, l finally did run bang into an information bureau. where l received directions, and obtaining a guide I started for White Street. The guide passed me his bill as soon as the supposed street was reached. Three dollars and a half! just a moment, I said. and l'll have the money. l knocked at the door:no one came and here l was with no money and no one at home. Impossible! .-Xre you sure this is the correct street? I demanded. Yes, IVla'am, he stated. l looked at a street marker on which was the name .lXlba. l showed this to mv guide and asked if he was blind. ' lle replied, My dear Miss, that means White in Latin. I assailed him saying, l'm not out for a Latin lesson. but merely for finding White Street. Returning to the llureau and obtaining a new guide. I soon was on VVhite Street. llere l found Ruthie. who supplied money for paying the guide. l then tolil mv story to Ruthie, who listened with keen interest and exclaimed at my last word. LW' hy. dearie, don't you know that Friday the thirteenth is a very unlucky day ? l then recalled the date. the black cat. the ladder. and declared I would be superstitious hereafter! Nl. A.

'29, THE HIDDEN TREASURE ln the year 1628, a ,shipment of gold and silver was made from Peru to the King of Spain by the governor. The ship that conveyed the gold and silver made half of the journey successfully. On one exceptionally fine day, a pirate ship bore down on the treasure ship. took- the cargo, killed the sailors and sank the ship. The captain divided half of the plunder among his men and kept the other half for him- self. He placed his half in a cave on a small island north of Cuba. Three hundred years later. Carl Jackson lived on this island with his father and mother. lie had graduated from high school in june. He wanted to go to college but would have to work his way through. During the high school summer vacations, Carl had worked on a sugar farm near hy.' This summer was to be spent the same as the others had heen. Une Sunday while Carl was at home. he went to sit by the cave near the sea. Tllli L'lCIM.S'UN lf.fI!lIl3I.lfIi' 73:1 as he had heard many stories about the finding of pirate hoards. and liked to sit by this cave and dream of pirates and treasure chests. I wonder, he mused. if there is any treasure in this cave. Ily Gollyl l'm going to find out, he exclaimed. on further thought. The cave ran hack into a hill about fifteen feet and then stopped. Carl had never explored it thoroughly, except the front part where it was light enough to see, but now he went home to get his flashlight. He explored the front of the cave carefully, and when he came to what should be the end, he found a door heavily padlocked I i Carl again went home to get a file and hacksaw. He then set to work with all his strength. At last, the door swung open on rusty hinges. and there before his eyes stood two sea chests, which proved to be full of gold. Late that summer. Carl bought a large farm for his father in Cuba, and then went to college. H Xl W .. .,v.. SPORT WITHQA TROUT Une afternoon in the early autumn I started for a short walk in the woods. and the path which I decided to take led aimwn along the banks of a brook. As I came to the edge of the brook, I noticed a ripple running along on the surface of the water. I stopped and looked at the leaves on the trees but saw that they weren't in motion. VVhat could have made that wake? As I stood there thinking. it came to me that a trout would leave a wake like that if he came near the surface. If it happened to be a trout. he would probably whirl again and perhaps I could get a chance to see him. I decided to wait. .Xfter carefully stepping away from the brook, I hid myself in the bushes and waited. l had sat there about twenty minutes when I heard a splash. At that time I was not looking into the brook, but day-dreaming instead, as I've often done in school: but upon hearing that splash I came to myself and realized that I had just missed seeing a nice big trout. It wasn't long before he jumped again and I got a good look at him. He was a Red Spot. VVhen he jumped he came out of the water, full length. it was a pretty sight to see. He had a clear white strip from the point of his chin to the end of his tail. His sides were a shade of brown. spattered with red spots, his back was so dark that it appeared to be black. His Fins were white with a tint of red on the outside edge. What a fine fish he would.make to mount. After watching him for a little while. I decided to go home. get my fish pole and come back and catch him. Creeping away from the brook as easily as possible, I went home. got my pole :md returned to the brook. VVhen I got within a few feet of the brook. I got down on my hands and knees and crept along to the point where I had seen him before and got ready to cast my line for him. The sun was hot on the grass and made a hot mat for me to crawl on. When I had my line ready to cast, I looked about me and saw that there wasn't much of a chance to do so without getting caught in the bushes, but after a long study of my surroundings. I found the place that suited me. I looked at my hook and everything was O. K. All I had to do was to cast and I would have my fish. I did cast. but no fish. I threw my line again andagain, but no strike. After an hour of this I started for home with my mind made up that -I had been dreaming when l saw that fish. Upon reaching home I told Dad of my experience, and he told me that the reason the fish wouldn't strike was because he had eaten his fill of fiies and wasn't lumgry, but if I would go there early in the morning I might catch him and-I might not. 24 TIIE CRIMSON RAMBLER I went to bed with those words ringing in my ears, I might catch him and- I might not. If I only could, Oh, Boy! I went to sleep with my mind made up to go fishing early in the morning. At five-thirty I started for the brook. The air was cool and the grass wasn't as hot as it had been the last time I was there. Instead, it was wet with the morn- ing dew. The sky was grey except for a few strips of early sun rays that faintly tinted the eastern part. As I approached the brook, I got down on my hands and knees as I had before, and started to crawl up to the edge. Now and then a bush wiped across my face, bringing with it a cool shower of water from its leaves. As I reached the place where I had seen the trout. the afternoon before, I made ready to cast, when I again heard that same splash I had heard before. The thing that came to my mind was, I hope he hasn't eaten his breakfast so soon. Well. I got set and let my line sing out over the water to try my luck. Nothing happened. I reeled the line back and tried again. The second time it hadn't any more than hit the water when I heard my reel singing. The line was being pulled out by something at a fast rate of speed. It didn't take me long to realize that I had a fine fish somewhere on the end of that line, and that I also had a fine chance to lose him. I flipped him out of the pool as soon as I could onto the grassy bank and there I saw a trout that would make any fisherman proud. Vx -lk C. I.

WELCH. Till! t'Nl.'l1.S'ON N.-l.lllfl-liK 725 THE STORY OF AN OLD FAN I had lain in an old trunk for many years after attending a big reception in honor of Queen lflizabeth, and since, had been brought to this country. One day someone unlocked the trunk in which I lay and I decided it was my new mistress. lfrom what she said, I realized that I was not to be put back in my old resting place. The next thing I knew I had been wrapped in brown paper and taken from the house. When I next saw daylight, I was. as I had guessed, at a cleansers: for. by now my beautiful white plumage, ornamented with emeralds. was somewhat gray with age. I was soon cleansed and bright as new, much to my delight and the admiration of my new mistress, who stood for a long while before a mirror holding me and admiring my beauty. About this time a young man entered the house and my mistress ran to him. carrying me with her and raving about my beauty. I heard her say that I would look wonderful with her pale green gown and silver slippers. She talked a long while with him and from the conversation, I understood that I was to go to the reception of some great person. After a time I heard one of the persons say something about Colonel Lindbergh and at once I decided it was to his wedding reception I was to be taken. .Nt last my mistress placed me in a new box and laid me away. and so here I am waiting for that happy day when I may have the honor of being at Lindy's reception. I' C I' W 'li-'ll' . . .. Q - . I BILLY'S DREAM Ililly was a boy of eleven years and as mischievous as a boy could be. Mrs. Smith, lIiIIy's mother, was busy during the afternoon. but she had noticed Ililly going out the kitchen door with something in his hand. At supper time she noticed that one of her mince pies was missing. She mentioned the fact at the table, but no one seemed to know anything about it. Ililly did not eat much for supper, and he explained this unusual occurrence by saying that he was not hungry. :Xfter supper Mr. Smith told about a neighbor seeing a ghost in the vacant house across the street, and he mentioned that this was just the right kind of night for ghosts. When llilly went to bed, the wind was rattling the windows and howling through the trees. Billy finally fell asleep, only to feel himself shaken very hard. Ile looked up and saw a figure in white standing over him and saying. W ho stole that pie F Ililly fairly shook in his skin. The ghost was about to grab him when he heard someone say, I'lilly, what's the matter ? Suddenly realizing that he had been dreaming, he saw his mother, and said, Ma, I took that pie, but I never will take another as long as I live. If. II. A TRIP THROUGH THE DESERT Une evening as my friend and I sat before the Ere telling stories, he told me of an adventure which he had experienced in the Mojave Desert, which was as follows: One day I determined to cross the Mojave Desert in my Ford truck. The trip would take me three days, and I had to take enough food and water to last me for that time. I put the food and water in the truck: also an axe and a pail. and started out in the early morning. For the first two days all went well, but on the night of the second day. I found that the water supply was low. The next day about noon I put the last of the water in the radiator, and an hour after the radiator pipe burst and ten minutes after that the motor stopped: it was overheated. I waited until the engine was cool, then patched the leak and tried to go on. Hut the engine would not start the car. 26 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER Finding that the car would not go, I sat down to think. I was in a bad fix g had no water, not much food, and was forty miles from the nearest ranch. As I sat there looking about at the cactus trees, an idea suddenly occurred to me. I had learned that cactus trees had water in them, but how to get the water was a problem. Then the idea came to me. I cut down several cactus trees with my axe and put them in the steel dump-body of my truck. Then I placed the pail under the corner of the body and taking my axe I pounded the trees into pulp. The juice ran out of the pulp down into the pail, and I filled my radiator with the juice and went on, thinking what a blessing cactus plants are in the desert. E. W.. '30. ONE,S FRIEND I think we never know just what a friend may mean, Until she leaves us, so We're all alone to dream: Then soon we wish she were Where we could see her stir. Though at times we think we're peeved, We find we really aren't, For we truly are bereaved With thoughts to share and ean't. Then to our friends we run And say, Lets have some fun., At times our friend is sick And we wander here and there To find another just as slick, And find there's none, right where You are, just like the one Who's sick and can't have fun. At last you find your friend Is one who's always true, And follows you through all That you attempt to do. And vou wish she'd never fall From friendship 'twixt you at all. M. A. S., 2!l. RAINY DAY EXCITEMEN T A group of girls stood together at a window silently watching it rain. They had read books and magazines, made fudge and done everything imaginable. That is. they thought that they had. Suddenly one of the girls turned to the others and said. I have an inspiration. Of course the rest of the girls wanted to know what the inspiration was. At last Helen said, Let's have a 'mock wedding' l This idea pleased the girls and they began to hunt for clothes. Two of the girls were to be brides. two others were to be bridegrooms and of the other two, one was to be a bridesmaid and the other was to be the minister. At last they gathered in the room off the guest chamber. Oh, where is my necktie P Here, fix this collar button. Does my train hang even ? These were the questions that were flying through the air. Marion, the minister's daughter, in whose house this fun was going on, left the THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 27 room and came back with a book in her ha11d. f'lt's Dadis book and has all the ceremony in it, she explained. fly this time the girls were fully dressed in their costumes. This is what they looked like: Alice and Josephine had their hair plastered back with vaseline and twisted into a knot on top of their heads. This made their faces look more man- nish. They had on dress suits and looked like dignified gentlemen of leisure. They were the bridegrooms. Helen and Marjorie were the brides. They had taken'down lace curtains from the windows and draped themselves in them. They had taken the flowers from hats for ornaments, for their hair, and had pieces of lace for veils. They looked very pretty and innocent. Marion was to be minister and was dressed about the same as Alice and ,lo- sephine. but was trying to look a little more solemn. The rest were much pleased with her and said that she looked like a real minister. Frances was to be bridesmaid. She was dressed in a white organdie dress and looked very sweet. ' ' At last everything was ready for the ceremony to begin. Soon the familiar sound of the wedding march came from the parlor and presently the squeaking of the minister's shoes was heard on the stairs. He looked stately and solemn as he waited in the parlor for the bridal party. Nextwappeared the bridegrooms, both looking very gay and merry. The entrance of the bridesmaid was then expected, but something different happened. Those who were already in the parlor saw the bridesmaid trying to pass the brides quickly. She caught her foot in one of their trains and fell headlong onto the floor. .-Xt this time Marion heard a noise at the door. Sh ll' she cried to the rest of the party, someone is coming. I'll bet it's someone to be married. Run for your lives into the other room and l'll see what's wanted. The girls ran and Marion went to the door. She opened it slowly. VVe came to be married, said the young man, when Marion opened the door. Could you perform the ceremony this afternoon so that we can catch the 6.30 train for the city F Marion turned pale. llut l simply can't do it, she said. I er-er-er and stopped. We don't mind where we are married, quickly interrupted the woman. who thought that the minister wasn't ready for a wedding. Hut l'm not the real minister, said Marion, and burst into laughter. Then she invited them to step into the house for a minute. She left the room, tumbled into the room with the other girls, and shut the door quickly. Marion was about wild with fear and excitement. Oh! girls, what shall I do. what shall I do P she whispered. Tell them to go somewhere else, said one of the girls. I have an idea, said Marion, after a minute of quick thought. She went back to the room where the couple was. and who should be there but her father. to whom the couple was trying to explain matters. The real minister turned to his daughter when she entered and said, Marion, what does all this mean P Marion was so bewildered that she could not explain. but stepped to the dining-room door and opened it. Her father saw the rest of the mock weddingu party, and suddenly everyone joined in a long and hearty laugh. Well, girls, he said, you need not be disappointed, for since this couple wants to be married, and witnesses are very necessary to the ceremony, you shall attend a real wedding. After the ceremony, the girls gathered in the parlor to see the newly-married couple off. Marion looked at her friends and said, Ohl ye brides and bride- grooms, what a real thrilling rainy afternoon. W. W., 731. 28 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER ON THE TRAIL TO THE NORTH Two boys, Hugh and Ben, were staying in a camp with a very limited supply of food. Hugh thought a great deal of his friend because Ben had found him lying pinned under a fallen tree, and had carried him to this deserted camp so he might recover. A search was underway for a man who was wanted in Montreal for steal- ing, and Hugh had been one of the searchers until knocked out of the ranks by the falling tree. Hugh had thought it was queer that his old friend Ben had been the one to find him, as the two had not seen each other for months until his misfortune. One day while Ben had gone to a spring nearby for water, there came a knock on the cabin door. Before Hugh could cross the room to open the door. a man dressed in a Canadian police uniform entered. Hugh gasped. Pardon the intrusion, the man began, courteously. I happened by and thought l'd take a look in to see who was here. Where's your friend P He has gone after water, replied Hugh. He will be back soon. You don't happen to have any extra rations along, do you ? The officer, swinging his knapsack from his shoulder, said, eyeing Hugh sharply, I might be able to spare a little. Aren't you one of the boys that have been helping us run down the thief ? Yes, hir, replied Hugh, until 1 got caught by a falling tree. He then ,told of his rescue. Have you seen anyone answering to the description of the man we're after? No, Sir, Hugh replied. All at once it occurred to him that the description might apply to Ben: it might, however, fit a dozen others. By the way, which way did your friend go, he demanded? Hugh, thinking that Ben might possibly be the thief, pointed to the opposite direction from that in which Ben went, and the officer departed. At dusk Ben came back to the cabin very much confused. I must leave the camp tonight, he said. 1 m striking north. lf the fellow comes back, head him the other way. He was gone, without waiting for an answer. All night long Hugh lay on his bunk wondering whether or not to be true to his pledge as a policeman when it meant to go against an old friend who had saved his life. In the morning he traced Ben in the direction in which he said he was going. and overtook him at noon sitting on a bank fishing. Ben was startled when hc heard someone coming, but seeing Hugh he felt relieved. Hugh told Ben it would be best to give himself up. Ben grew angry at first but was at last convinced, after a hot discussion, that it would be best: therefore he gave up the money and a short time after became a member of the police force. Hugh used to say that there wasn't a man on the force who could hold a candle to Ben for pride in service. A. N. G., '29.

C'RI.ll.S'0N R.-IMBLER 29 THE GOSSIPS Sally, a middle-aged spinster in years, but nearly a century in ideas, said to herself, I must go and see Ann. Her guests just left yesterday and I would like to hear about them. I know she was shocked by their actions. They certainly acted scandalously. l guess I had better look my best. Her cousin john may come in and he was very nice to me yesterday. I guess I'll put on my tan dress. If Susan sees me I know she'll talk about me for looking so gay, as old as I am, but it's all for john. - At last when Sally was almost to Ann's, she met Susan who exclaimed at her bright colors and her Sunday hat set high on her head to show off the flowers to the best advantage. The two friends greeted each other in affectionate terms. After inquiring where each was going, they departed on their separate ways. Hardly had Susan left Sally, when she said to herself, I must go and see Ann, too. I must hear about her guests. And I must tell her about that terrible Miss Jones and Mr. White going to the dance last week without a chaperonf, When Sally reached Ann's. she was invited to spend the afternoon and ac- cepted. Ann was a cheerful old lady but somewhat shocked by the actions of the modern young people. ' - How did you like your guests P asked Sally, after a while. They were very queer, replied Ann. They were too modern to be in my family. '1 hey would read such terrible stories of murder, love, and sport. Stories of girls who dressed like men and smoked cigarettes and danced with men. They were shocking in their behavior just the same as the girls in the stories. But they were so nice to me that l was unable to ask them to leave my house, although I know that the very house shivered with horror and shock. That is terrible, I wouldn't have them in my house one minute, not one minute! Why, they would shock the Good Lord Himself and He would forget to let us into Heaven when we go there, replied llliss Sally. Do you know who l met on my way here ? continued Sally. I met Susan who was going to the store. l know she was going to see Mr. Soll, the storekeeper, because sne blushed terribly whe11 she told me where she was going. I think it is terrible for a woman of her age to be thinking of love and men. Men, the beastly things, l wish there wasn't a single one on this earth. just then john entered and Miss Sally greeted him with as sweet a smile as she could muster on her sour old face. A little later, after Susan had arrived and they had tea and had been talking of Ann's guests and their actions, Susan, tilting her head and trying to be mysterious, said, Have you heard about the scandal? Miss jones went to the dance down at Twin Corners with Mr. VVhite, the automobile man, last week without a chaperon. And you should have seen herl ller dress was up to her knees! Why, I was ashamed of her. When they went by me down here in the road, she was sitting quite close to him, and I think he had his arm around her, but I'm not sure. You won't tell this to anyone, will you, girls ? Why! How terrible! ' exclaimed Sally. lf I were her mother, I would put her to bed to keep her out of sight of respectable people. Why, I'd even tie her to the bedpost and feed her catnip tea. That is supposed to take the devil out of such people. you know, mercy. And say! Do you know that Mrs. Betts has had her hair cutl Can you imagine that? A woman of her age l exclaimed Ann. W hat! a married woman with her hair cut ? asked Susan. And she has children, too! I'm going to pray to the Good Lord to deliver all us respectable people from this terrible world. What are we all coming to? added Sally. 30 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER And listen, that makes me think, exclaimed Susan. It is the Iirst time that you ever thought, exclaimed Sally, to herself. ' Mrs, Emery is going to play the part of a society girl like Miss jones. And she is going to wear dresses up to her knees and silk stockings. Imagine that in a church entertainment! Especially when it is going to be in the churchf, What do you think of the new minister ? asked Ann. I saw him looking at young julia Herbert last Sunday in church. The other day I saw him out walk- ing with Irene Tompsonf' More young girls are coming to church lately. But I think it is to see him and not to praise God. I think that girls nowadays think more of men than they do of God, said Susan. Men ought to be hanged! They lead women to destruction, but not me! Men are the pest of the earth, exclaimed Miss Sally. lfinally, after much such gossip, each of the women returned to the duties at home, saying to herself, I am glad I'n1 not such at gossip as they are. Always talk- ing about someone else's affairs. That night just before retiring, Miss Sally on her knees before her bed said. Oh, deliver all the good from this wicked world and from such people as Susan and Ann, who are always gossiping about their friends. And I pray that john will love me. 1 men. ' ' D. C.. '30. THE KINDNESS OF CHIEF PONTIAC In the western part of Colorado, there is a tribe of fierce Indians who are always causing trouble. Une summer day. Priscilla, the daughter of John Andrews, a wealthy farmer, was picking daisies in a Iield near her home, with her sister h! une, when an Indian. Chief Pontiac. came from the woods and started after the girls. .I une escaped, but he caught Priscilla and carried her off with him. .Xs soon as .lune told her father, he called all of his neighbors together and they started hunting for the child and Indian. They traveled all of that day. and as night was approaching, they saw a group of Indian tents in the distance and sev- eral Indians dancing around a fire. In the midst of the Indians, Priscilla sat, bound with ropes, and the Indians were rejoicing over their booty. Soon it began to grow dark, and the searching party, led by Mr. Andrews. ap- proached the tents. but as they were drawing near, two of the Indian guards saw them, aroused the rest, and made an attack on the rescuers. The Indians fought very bravely for a long time, but were preparing to surrender when Priscilla's father shot Chief Pontiac, who, as he dying said to Mr. Andrews, You will End your daughter over there, bound with ropes, and I ani very sorry that I stole her. I have been very treacherous all of my life, and this pays me rightfully. Mr. :Xndrews went to the place which Chief Pontiac had pointed out to him and found his daughter safeq P. P.. '30, A VISIT T0 STEEP FALLS IN 1954 lior the first time in twenty-five years, I returned to my home town of Steep Falls, Maine. I was forty-three years old and a grandmother. I arrived December 25, and on descending from the train, learned that I might take the street car to my old home. I boarded the car, settled myself comfortably, and prepared to keep my eyes open for any slight change which I might notice. liverything appeared the same until I reached the Saco River, or Mill Alley as it was once called. It was now called Baxter Boulevard, as I learned later. All O THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 31 along the way I saw beautiful homes which were owned by the wealthy and pros- perous class of people. , On the corner of Maine Street, a modern theatre was erected. The boarding house had been enlarged and on the opposite side of the street a number of stores extended down to the boulevard. On the grounds where the old theatre used to Stand was an Exposition Building. In my surprise at the changes, I had gone farther than I had intended, so I left the car after paying my fare. After leaving the car, I bumped right into a red-haired lady with a tall young man walking beside her and carrying numerous bundles. Oh, I beg your pardon, I said. Something about my voice made her pause and I fumbled for my glasses. She inquired if I was hurt and I then recognized my friend, Marion Thombs. I was obliged to introduce myself, and as she had grown quite hard of hearing, I had some difhculty in making her understand who I was. She seemed very much pleased to see me and then introduced me to one of her four sons. We entered the hotel for a bite to eat, and of course I had to ask her about all my friends. She told me that Ellery Ward had been the most prominent physician in the town for a number of years and had now retired, a millionaire. M arguerette Hubbard had become a beauty specialist, and after fifteen years of this work had married Kenneth Moore. Then I asked about Edna Bailey and was told that she was unmarried. being the president of the Old Ladies' Club of Steep Falls. Phyllis Pendexter had followed in the footsteps of her aunt, and had become a nurse, being employed in the St. llarnabas Hospital in Portland. I remained in Steep Falls about a month, renewed my acquaintances and also made many new ones I enjoyed many pleasant rides and walks about the town. visiting many new buildings. which had been erected for the benefit of the public. Un the third week of my visit I was invited to a party at I'everley l endexter's, and I was invited to ascend in his plane called The Spirit of Steep Falls. After my fourth week, I decided that I had had a glorious time and would return home. - I am now in my beautiful home in The Ilerkley's, California. I am in hopes to visit Maine again, taking my husband with me, to visit my old home town, Steep Falls, Blaine. D. G., '29. MEMORIES Sitting under the old oak tree. where they had carved their initials fifty years before, is an old couple with bowed heads, thinking of the past, and this is what they see: Mary, a girl twenty years of age, was sitting on the porch of her home. She was waiting for Ted to come to see her. She saw him coming down the path from the road and went to meet him. He greeted her, but she seemed to think something was the matter, because he was very quiet, and usually he was boyish. His tone of voice frightened her. Ted, she said, why are you so sorrowful ? Mary, he answered, I have much to tell youg let's go out under the old oak tree. They turned down another carefully laid-out path that led to an old oak tree. The roses were in bloom and the air had a very sweet smell. They walked slowly, M ary's arm through T ed's. neither of them speaking. Mary sat down on the bench under the tree, and Ted sat on the ground at her feet. holding both her hands in his. 32 fllli e'KlrIl.S'U.Y lC.Al.Il12Llflt' Mary, it is hard to speak, but I must. Tomorrow at ten-thirty I shall leave for VVashington to join the army. My country needs me and 1 must serve her. My grandfather fought to free his country, now I must fight to keep it together. Mary did not speak: she dropped T ed's hands, and tears came to her eyes. Ilut she was brave: she faced Ted and tried to smile. and tell him how much she honored him for his bravery. Hut, Mary, it cannot last long. Our large, wonderful country cannot live divided. The war must stop, and I must do my share to compel it to do so. he said, I shall soon return and then-say you'lI wait and pray for me. Yes, Ted, l'lI always be waiting for you. She did not see Ted again before he left. Un May 15. word was received that Ted had been killed in action. Mary was stunned by this news, and for many weeks did not leave her bed. When she Finally recovered, she received many opportunities to go away to nurse in a hospital. She decided that as Ted had given his life for his country, so would she do her duty to the best of her ability. Un September I. Mary arrived at a large hospital in Maryland. Here she worked faithfully for many months. Ilehind each soldier boy brought to the hos- pital, she saw a beautiful background-some sweetheart at home waiting for him and perhaps realizing that her soldier boy might not return. In December, after the war had ended, a new doctor came to the hospital to operate on a soldier who had been badly wounded but could be saved if an opera-- Iion could be successfully performed. Mary was making preparations for the operation when the new doctor came in. Knowing it was the doctor, she did not look up from her work. Mary, she heard her name called, and turned. Ted, Mary cried, but I thought-I thought- So did I, Mary. but I recovered I had heard that you were at this hospital. but I would not write nor return until I had completely recovered. Mary and Ted resigned their positions in the hospital. as they were not needed so badly. They returned home and were married, and had lived happily for forty- Iive years. Now, back at the old oak tree. they bow their hands. which are snowy white. They take each other's hands and seem to be thanking God for His kindness to them. M---- - :X. C., '2tI.

BASKETBALL, 1929 The basketball season of 1929 was started the first week in November by Coach Johnson: a squad of about eight men came out during the first two weeks. which made it hard for the coach, as well as the players, because there was not enough for scrimmage. At the close of the season there were about fifteen men out, and they were a lot more interested than they were when when we started the season. . This was our second year in the Cumberland County Y. M. C. A. league, 111 which we got through with losing only two games. The high scores for points this year were as follows: E. Dolloff, 1472 R. Cleaves. 121, and A. Shaw, 115.
