What wonderful scenery: a perfect picture, an ideal place for a little town or a ranchg a dam to stop that beautiful river which flows below. These thoughts were running through the mind of jim Stark, the lone rider. Stark was of Western type and with his sun-tanned face, blue eyes that looked from under dark eyebrows, and a well-built body, he looked like a young man of strong abilities. He had been classed by his folks and neighbors as a thriftless, lazy, good-for-nothing young man. jim didn't really like to settle down, he liked to roam around by himself. He had had many jobs dur- ing the cattle roundups but never had stayed on one longer than necessary. He was on his way to the Concho Rodeo when the thought came to his mind that he would like to settle down and be somebody instead of wandering aroundg therefore he put these things out of his mind and proceeded to the rodeo. It seemed at this rodeo that luck found him. First, he had taken many parts in the rodeo and won a considerable amount of money. Next, when on his way from the fields, he came face to face with a stylish, elderly gentleman. The man kept his sharp eyes on jim, and jim, in turn, stared at the stranger. Do you in any way happen to know john McDyke ? was the unexpected question. Yes, was the curt reply he got from Stark. Why do you ask, stranger P went on the cowboy. Well, replied the man slowly, 'fyou look something like john McDyke and I was kinda curious. john McDyke is my uncle, jim said, looking sharply at the stranger to see if it had any effect on him. Well, I'll be darned, was the excited answer, you're just the young man I'm looking for. Come with me-l heard you followed up these rodeos. Have much luck today, hombre? was the rapid talk of the stranger. I'll introduce myself, he went on, as they proceeded down the street. I'm Lawyer Burns of Argon City. I'm james Stark of Orin City, replied the cowboy, still wondering what the lawyer was going to do and why he was interested in his Uncle john. By this time they had reached the office of the lawyer. Sit down, Stark, said the lawyer, gently motioning to a chair, while he took another. You told me you were john McDyke's nephew, he said slowly. Did you ever see your uncle ? Only once, replied Stark. That was when I was a youngster and he visited our ranch at Orin City, he kept on, still wondering why he answered the lawyer's questions so freely. -xr i Did you know he was dead, young man ? asked the lawyer with a great deal of emphasis. No, was the quick reply. VVell, john McDyke died at Dead1nan's Bluff two months ago, leaving a will. ' Stark began to sit up and take notice, because he had been Uncle john's pet when he had made the one and only visit at the Stark Ranch. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 15 The will left everything to you, Stark, under one condition, went on the lawyer, trying not to notice the young man's bulging eyes. alle had heard, as many others have, of your shiftiess ways but you were always the apple of his eye since you were a youngster so he left everything to you. Now listen, Stark, this condition might be hard for you to comply with, but you must do so before I turn over a cent to you, continued the old lawyer sternly. Wl1at is that condition, Mr. Burns ? asked the cowboy nervously. That condition, Stark, is that you settle down and make somebody of yourself and make good use of the money he leaves. VVhat do you think of it? the lawyer asked, looking sharply at the young cowboy opposite him. NVell-er-I don't know, I've a little money Ilve got from the rodeo, but that's all I have, he managed to stammer. Do you wish to settle down ? was the next question shot at him. At this question Stark told the old lawyer about his dreams and the thoughts that had gone through his mind on his journey, looking up to see how the lawyer took his explanation. - When Stark had finished, the lawyer knew he was sincere and grasped the young man's hand, replying, That's the spirit, young man, I know you'll make good. As youlre short of money, I'll tell you what l'll do,', he went on hurriedly, I will back you up in this plan and then when you inherit the money you can pay me back. Thanks very much for the offer, Mr. Burns, but what if I don't make good ? I know you will, Stark, because you have the makings of a successful person, he replied, sizing the young man up. - Thanks, Mr. Burns, and l'll surely take you up on your proposition, replied Stark, with a sincere look. It has been tive years since Stark left Lawyer Burns's office and went on his fortune-seeking job of building up his hopes. Things have certainly changedg the beautiful river and valleys that gave Stark his ambitions have changed. Across the beautiful river is a large gray dam from which large cities and the surrounding country obtain their power and watery down the valley one sees a city with itsgchurch, schoolhouse, paved streets and many other improvements and institutions which represent a prosperous place. The people are mostly garbed in cattlemen's clothes, some are dressed better. On going down the street of this town one will see a large building with a sign, Stark's Hotel, another with Stark's Department Store, and many other small signs with Stark's name and other prominent men of the town. Many wonder why the Stark name is over so many of the largest buildings. Why? Because James Stark had turned from the thriftless, good- for-nothing young man his folks had known to a very ambitious and thrifty man. His ambition planned and built this city which he called Utopia. Stark had thought of this name because everything in his little city was so peaceful and perfect. The laws were enforced with the greatest ability, everyone had a friendly way toward each other. Why shouldn't he call it Utopia? Everything was perfect. E. XV., '31, 16 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER A MERRY CHRISTMAS It had been a hard and strenuous day at the office during Christmas week, as a great deal of extra work had to be done before the holiday. Mr. Owen, our manager, was getting more and more uneasy and much harder to satisfy as the work fiowed in before us. Everybody seemed to be wishing that a Christmas holiday would never come, because the thought of the Work was so trying on the disposition. I usually took a taxi home but tonight I felt that the cool, brisk, wintry air would do my disposition wonders after so much commotion and excite- ment at the office during the day. I had to work forty-five minutes later than usual, so when I finally did get my work done, I didn't linger very long to chat with the other girls, knowing that it was getting late. I started for home with high hopes, thinking of the lovely little Christmas gifts that I had already bought for my parents and friends. But I had not gone far when I heard the cry of a seemingly hurt child come from a dark side street. I was greatly frightened, but I decided to find out what the trouble was. I ran toward the place of trouble and, much to my surprise, I perceived in the darkness a small child lying face downward on the icy pavement. I picked the half-frozen boy up into my arms and started toward my home with him. Cn the way I wondered whose child it could be. But in such a danger- ous condition as he was I realized that he would need medical attention and need it quickly. As soon as I got him into the house and had put warm clothes around him I called the doctor. VVhen he arrived and had glanced at the unconscious child he gasped, VVhy, er-how did you happen to have this child here? I was somewhat bewildered by his astonishing look and question, but I told him how I had found the child and had brought him home to doctor him. Without another word he took from his pocket a slip of newspaper and handed it to me. lt was the picture of the same little boy that was lying un- conscious before me. - Beneath the picture was an article stating that the child had been kid- napped about a week before and the parents were very near frantic over the loss of their only child. They had tried all the means they could of finding him but it had been in vain. I called the child's parents soon as possible. They rewarded me for find- ing their child. VVith the generous reward, I bought each one of my ofhce friends a Christmas gift so that they would forget about their troubles and have happiness at least as long as Christmas lasted. I If they only could have realized how trifling their office troubles had been beside the trouble of that child's parents! MARTHA V. VVESCOTT, '31, NO. 1313 Left-right! Left-right! Left-right! The sound of a steady marching came to the warden of the prison, as he sat at his desk reading his evening paper. It was the sound of the men as they marched to their cells for the night. As suddenly as it had started, it ceased. The lights were turned out and all was quiet. In cell No. 27 Dan lNfcVVright sat on the edge of his cot. The moon, as it shed its pale light in through the small iron-barred prison window, showed the boy to be in deep thought. His broad shoulders were bent forward, his THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 17 head was resting on his hands, and once in a while a deep shiver seemed to shake his body. lf the thoughts of the boy could be known to us, here is the story that would unfold itself as it was reviewed in Dan's mind: It was dusk. A car came madly down a side street in a small town of Ohio. As the driver turned the corner into the main street. the form of a child was clearly outlined as the headlights of the car shone upon him. The driver applied the brakesg they did not take. There was a terrible jar and then silence, In the silence. the driver of the car slid quietly out of his seat and went silently away into the falling night. His companion who was slightly dazed by the accident swayed dizzily and slid over behind the wheel. He sat there for a moment until his head cleared, then got out of the car and tenderly picked up the child, The little body did not seem to be bruised. The child must have been killed instantly. By this time people had begun to gather and soon the events of the accident were fully known. Of course Dan was taken into court and the jury gave the verdict Life imprisonment. There was no way for Dan to prove that it was his cousin Bob that was to blame for everything, so he was hurried away to the Ohio prison for life. lle had been twenty-one when the accident happened and had now been in prison for ten years. Of course he was greatly changed. Tonight as he sat on his cot thinking things over, he wondered why it was that this had to be. He was really getting desperate and so very. very tired of the same old grind, the call to breakfast at 5 o'clock-Chapel from 6 to 6.30-Drill from 6.350 to 7.30 and then work in the mine. The mine work was terribly hard. It had seemed at iirst that he could not do it, but somehow he had become hardened to his work. as an old convict would say, and now did it mechanically, as if he were a machine and not a human being. He had almost forgotten his name, but always answered promptly to No. 1313. It would be two thirteens thought Dan when he had received his number ten long years ago. It seemed as though everything were against him. After coming from the mine. the orders were: Clean up - Fall in for supperug after supper an hour's recreationg last but not least the gong for bedH and lights out. So went the prison schedule. The wardens were kind but very stern. If a prisoner was unruly, he usually paid No. 1313 had on his papers these words, which were always a help to him, CONDUCT: Of the best. The thing that hurt Dan most was the way in which he had to be watched. But. then, it was only rightg but why couldn't they see that he would do as told and not have to be guarded like an animal which would try for freedom and revenge at the least opportunity? XVith this thought, Dan or No. 1313 lay down and went to sleep. Little did he know that on the morrow he would be a free man. The next night during recreation hour, Dan caught sight of a picture in the day's paper, which had great black headlines over it: Bob McXVright killed while trying to rob a bank. 'Makes confession before his deathf' True enough it was Dan's cousin Bob, and as Dan read he was suddenly sorry for his cousin who had always done so much wrong. Bob had been caught robbing a bank in a large city and had been mortally wounded. He had made the confession, asking that it be sent to the prison authorities, also printed in the paper so that Dan's friends might see it in order that D311 18 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER might be freed. It was almost too good to be true, and Dan did not really trust his eyes. But- The next morning No. 1313 was called before the prison ollicers and par- doned. Once more Dan was free to go to his home town. He went. and al- though the people received him into their society, there was always a little restraint while in his presence. They fully believed the confession, but there was something about Dan that caused the bit of aloofness of his friends. Was it an imprint of lJan's prison life which he could not forget, or was it that the people could not forget that he had once been Convict No. 1313? W. G. W., '31. THE COMPLAINT OF AN EMPTY PURSE Gee! but I am hungry, exclaimed a little black purse which lay on the cupboard shelf. I don't see why I shouldn't have something in me all the time, even if it is only a dime or a small piece of paperg but, alas, I guess that I never will have even that much. Here I have to lie all day long a11d in the evening I am grabbed up, shoved into a dirty old pocket and carried around for a while. Sometimes I am taken out and, to my great surprise, hlled with money. Ilow good it seems to be full at last! If only I could get into a pocket that is clean! This one is so musty, and I am often crowded and squeezed by a greasy handkerchief and all sorts of tools that are used on a car and other machinery. What a miserable iife I am living! One morning I was filled with money, so full, in fact, that it hurt my sides and I was actually in pain. Then I was put in a nice clean pocket and there I stayed for a long time, it seemed to me. But finally I was taken out and relieved of all of this money. At last I was empty again. How funny this seemed to me, for after being so full my sides were stretched and they naturally would never be the same as they were before. But the greatest puzzle of my life is what becomes of the money that is put in me every once in a while. Sometimes I think that it is used for food, but other times I think it is put into those, things-whatever they may be- that are called banks. But I wish that my keeper would remember one thing- that I like to have something in me all the time. rather than at times be so full that I will be in pain. Iiurru RICH, '3l. THE DANCE OF THE DOLLS It was Christmas Eve and the tree stood in a corner of the living-room, glittering and sparkling with ornaments, ready for the morning. It was a very big tree and was loaded with presents until the branches fairly groaned under their weight. On the very top of the tree, just under the shining golden star, sat Rosemary. a lovely big doll which had been put on the tree for jean. Under the branches was a box of tin soldiers for Bob. Then there was a pretty paper doll with a dress made of pink tissue paper and lace, a jack-in- the-box, a teddy bear, a littie. fuzzy. white wool dog. a negro doll named Topsy, a drummer boy, dressed in a bright red and gold uniform. and tucked 'way back behind the tree was the dearest baby doll you ever saw. The white moonlight streamed in through the long windows, shedding a ghostly light on the Christmas tree and its load of toys. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER In Suddenly, through the calm silence, sounded the clear merry chimes of the clock on the mantelpiece. Then the old grandfather clock in the kitchen boomed out the stroke of midnight. A sudden change came over the room. and the toys which had been so silent and motionless began to move and to chant gaily to one another. Merry Christmas! The jack-in-the-box jumped up and down in glee. the dog barked, the drummer boy beat his drum, the tin soldiers climbed out of their box and marched stifily around the room, and the paper doll Hirted with one of the tin soldiers. Please help me get down from heref' cried Rosemary to the drummer boy. jean's mother fastened me so tight that l can hardly move. One boy helped her down and she danced for joy and stamped her pretty feet to get the stiffness out of her joints. Clt was a very cramped position 'way up on top of the tree.D Then she ran to the radio and turned it on. The music hlled the room and Rosemary cried, Come on, dolls, let's dance ! and they all joined hands and danced until they were tired out, while the jack-in- the-box jumped up and down and the little white dog barked and barked. A draft from the open fireplace caught the dainty paper doll and nearly pulled her into the flames. but one of the tin soldiers rescued her just in time. They were dancing and laughing merrily, and Rosemary's dress was getting soiled and rumpled, when who should come down the chimney but Santa Claus him- self! W'hat's this l see ? he cried. Shame on you, you naughty dolls! Here you are dancing and getting all tired out when you should be on the tree like all good toys. Back to your places, all of you V' ln a twinkling every toy was in its place and when jean and Bobby came downstairs the next morning not a sign was left of the dance of the dolls. but their mother said. How could Rose1nary's dress have got rumpled? l'm sure it was smooth when I put her on the treef' And their father asked who had left the radio on. No one knew. and if the dolls could have told. they gave no sign. ' PEARL W. RACKLIFF, '3l.. A REAL GHOST lf you had been walking along the lonely road between Mountainview Farm and the nearest village one day at dusk last fall, you would have seen two rather shy girls. The girls were my friend Erma and I, who had been sent to the village on an errand. As it is very doubtful that you were there, I will relate a few of the happenings. VVe had gone no more than half a mile on our journey when we heard a very strange noise. Being girls who wished to understand about all things which took place near us. we began to hunt for the cause of this noise. The hunt led us through a nearby swamp to a knoll. Much hard tramping was done but no cause for the noise was discovered. Erma led the way to the main road once more by a short cut she knew. We did not hear the noise until we reached the road, when it began more forceful than before. lmmediately we started the search again. This time we kept more to the right and soon found a gray cat that we recognized as be- longing to Mr. Harding, our neighbor. lt had broken one leg and was nearly starved. VVe knew the cat could live but a short time if it were freed, so my friend, after arousing her courage, killed the suffering animal. We continued our walk once more, because we thought there would be 20 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER no more noises of unknown origin. But we had proceeded no more than a quarter of a mile when a big white object appeared, making the same noise we had heard before. So it seemed the cat had not been the cause of the uproar. VVe had not had more than time to look at this white object before it had seized my friend. It shook her and continued that frightful noise. I did not really know what was best to do in order to free my friend, but I snatched a nearby club and started after this strange spirit. Seeing that I was coming with the club, it started toward me. I swung the club back and forth in front of me as fast as possible and soon the object vanished. Erma and 1 ran about a half mile after our fright. This brought us to a cemetery which was about a mile from the village. We were nearly past the cemetery when my friend cried, There's that thing again! The only thing for us to do was run. So, clasping hands, we started to run with our greatest speed. The spirit chased us a short way, then stopped, yelled, and made movements with its arms, legs and head. It continued to do these things, while we ran, glancing back at it frequently. After running for a quarter of a mile, and seeing that the spirit continued to remain close behind us, we were exhausted and so frightened that it seemed impossible to move. lflrma, on seeing the object approaching, fainted and fell to the ground. I grabbed her, and did all I could to get her on her feet, and at the same time I screamed at the top of my voice and swung my hand- kerchief when I could free my arm, to keep away the spirit, which stayed a short distance from us all the time I was trying to help Erma. I worked about ten minutes, but in vaing she seemed no better than before. After beginning to become frightened and discouraged more than ever, I heard a familiar sound. On looking down the road. I uttered a cry of joy. for there was a near neighbor of Iirma's approaching with a team. The spirit, seeing I had ceased to scream and wave my hand, came up and took me by the arm. It started to shake me, but, seeing our friend approaching, vanished, not to be seen by us again. My friend was soon better and we all started for the village in the wagon. The conversation that took place on the way to the village consisted of talks about white objects. It was decided between the three. that the object we had just escaped was not just a white object but a Real Ghost. IE. V. VV.. '3l. ANITA'S PLAN It began about three weeks after they were settled in their new home. Dick had been working every day, and he seemed to be in line for a better position. Things at home had been going well, as Anita loved her home and enjoyed taking care of it. This was truly a scene of a happy home. One evening, when Dick returned, rather tired after the day's work, Anita met him at the door. Dick, I have some wonderful news for you. What is it, dear? he asked, rather casually. but Anita did not notice as she was very much excited. , Your Aunt Jane from California. the rich one, is ,coming to visit us. I have made a great many plans and I want you to hear them, she said. Dick laughed, The plans will have to wait as I think my stomach is THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 21 much more important. By the way, what have you got to feed your hungry mate to-night ? Anita repeated a menu which certainly sounded tempting. and soon, by the appearance of the table, it looked as if Dick would have to kiss the cook. Immediately after dinner, Anita again brought up the subject of the visit. As Aunt jane was rich, Anita thought that they should do a bit different while she was there. She thought that they would have to have a maid, a butler, and a cook, and that last of all, but far from least, Anita must have a new wardrobe. She told Dick all her plans while he listened, smiled, and shook his head. I am sorry, Anita, but I am afraid you have started to plan for this visit in a rather expensive way. In the first place you do not know my Aunt -lane. She is not the type who would expect that sort of thing at all. Do you remember, Dick, that you have not seen her for a good many years, and that you do not know about her home life in California? asked Anita. Dick could see that Anita was rather disappointed because he did not become excited over her plan. Anita argued all the evening, but she did not help matters by doing so, as Dick was still set against the idea of changing their way of living, just to interest a rich relative. Anita thought that if they made a good impression, she might remember them in some way. Dick thought that it was rather wicked to plan on what they would get after some- thing happened to his Aunt. , The argument lasted for many days, and finally Dick became so tired of listening to Anita every time he entered the house that he remained at the office late, and spent a' great deal of his spare time at the club. 0ne night when he returned he called Anita to him. Anita, we can not keep this up, it is only making us unhappy, don't you think we had better bury the axe PU he asked. You know that it will not be long before Aunt Jane will be here, and we certainly will not make much of an impression if we do not get along any better than we have for the last few days. I know that, but, Dick, in spite of your ideas, I have gone ahead as if you had agreed with my plansf, said Anita. Anita! began Dick, but he did not finish. He might just as well let it go and not cause any more trouble. However, he was greatly disappointed. Wlieii he returned the next night, he was met at the door by a butler. Soon Anita appeared in a beautiful gown which he had never seen before, She seemed like a happy child. How do you like Thomas ? she asked. Well, to tell the truth I had much rather have you meet me at the door in the usual way, answered Dick. However, I think Aunt Jane will not think we are as much below her station as she might if we had gone on as before, remarked Anita. The next day when Dick returned from work, he was surprised to find Anita waiting at the door. Dick, I have something to tell you that is going to be an awful shock. Aunt Jane was killed in an accident on the way to visit us, continued Anita. and then waited to see what Dick had to say. He was silent for a moment. 22 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER Then he took her hands in his andfaced her gravely. I VVell, dear, he said. I am awfully sorry about Aunt jane, but I am glad to be free from the ordeal of her visit. I am sorry too, but 1 can agree with you that I was not looking forward to the visit with much pleasure. But a queer thing happened. When I told the cook that we did not need her services any longer, she asked if jane was not coming. I told her of the accident and she was very much upset. I did not know what to do. but at last she told me a very strange story. She had known your Aunt jane ever since she was a young girl. Your aunt had dreaded her visit here as much as I had because she did not know what I would be like. She had written her old friend and asked her many questions about us, to which the cook had replied that we were an ordinary couple, living inex- pensively and happily. But later, when we began the gathering of our domes- tic staff, she wrote again and told Aunt jane that we were getting a bit more extravagant and were doing as so many other couples had done before. The cook also told me that she thought that when Aunt jane had found out we were doing all of this high living for her benefit it must have amused her very much. After the cook had written about our new way of living she had not heard from Aunt jane, so supposed that she had started. just think what your Aunt jane must have thought of me if she received that letter. Dick listened to the story and then began to laugh. I guess that people do not gain much by trying to be something that they are not. I agree, said Anita. A few days later a lawyer who was an old friend of the family called on the phone and told the young couple that Aunt jane had left about 810.000 to them. He told them that after Aunt jane had received the letter from her friend she had been very much amused and had come to him and decided she would leave them her little fortune. Of course, Anita and Dick were very much pleased with the money as anyone would be, but they had learned a good lesson from their experience, which they were not likely to forget for a long time. I 7 C D '30 4. . ., 1 N. A GERMAN UNIFORM jack Brown was a boy of eighteen. fle said he was twenty and so he went to war. Those few brief months in training were tiresome and hard. At last a day arrived, a day in which jack, with a large company of other men, was to sail for France-to the trenches, fighting, and war! jack got along very well with everybody and everything and was soon made an officer. One day the American division of the army to which jack belonged was ordered to the front. Each man, before he went to battle, was given a false map of the American plan of attacking. The idea of this was that if any of the men were killed or captured and searched, the Germans would find the map and think it was correct and plan their way of protecting themselves and attacking the enemy by this map. VVhen the battle was at its height, jack was shot. It dazed him for a while, and he did not hear the command to go back to the next trench which was safer. He was lying in the trench in a dazed condition when suddenly a German fell back on him. Dead! jack realized after a time that he was THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 23 alone in this trench with a dead German and that it depended on him to get across the German line and find out somehow or other their plan of attack, as the Germans seemed to be pressing back the Americans. Suddenly his head seemed to clear and he thought of a plan of getting over the German lines. He turned the dead German over and exchanged his own uniform for that of the dead German. Crawling along on his hands and knees through the underground tunnels in the darkness, he was nervous lest some German be there and discover who he was, although he had a German uniform on. The tunnels went to the right, left, backand ahead. He got so confused that finally he didnlt know whether he was going towards the German lines or the American lines. After a time, he came to an opening and peered out, but there were guards there and they had seen him. For a minute he did not know what to do, but as they had seen him they would think it strange if he did not come out. Therefore he spoke to them in German. They greeted him very friendly, supposing that he was one of their own comrades. At mess that night, he did not know anyone and could not understand all that was said. Gne of the German officers had been noticing jack Brown, his features and the way in which he spoke his German. At length he asked him directly if he were an American. VVhy-er-that'is-er-no, sir. said Brown at length in German. VVhat is your name? asked the officer. Poor Jack did not know what to say. He was stuck. I will see you later, said the ofticer. At eight o'clock that night, Brown was called to headquarters. The officer in charge received him and had him searched. The map which he had concealed in an inside pocket was found and taken away from him. The ofhcer told jack to follow him into an adjoining room, then said, Sit downg the chief officer will be in soon. Jack sat down and waited patiently for the officer. There were all kinds of papers strewn over the table. From a distance they looked as if they might be maps and plans, but jack thought that, without doubt, he would be hanged at sunrise anyhow, so he did not bother with them. He thought that they did not belong to him anyway and were none of his business. He was locked in and he knew it because he had tried the door. The door had locked auto- matically when the officer had gone out, and, as a matter of fact, the two officers were looking through concealed tubes watching Jack. After two or three hours of impatient waiting, shortened only by pacing the iioor now and then and smoking an occasional cigarette, the door was opened and the chief officer came in. Well, young man, I see you have waited patiently for me. Come this wa . yjack said nothing but followed him. He was given a kitchen uniform and placed in kitchen service. In the room in which jack had been, there were concealed gas holes in the table. The only thing which kept the gas from escaping was the papers on the table. If jack had removed these, he would have died of suffocation. Many of the American spies and captured Americans had been killed in this painless way. One night just before the close of the war, jack escaped from the German lines and got back to his own comrades just in time to hear the cry of Peace! Peace! DOROTHY RYALL, '32. 24 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER A FIRM FRIENDSHIP A few years ago in one of the Western colleges, two young men, both about twenty years old, met in one of the rooms of a dormitory which was destined to be their quarters for the coming year. One was a rich man's son who introduced himself as Harry johnson. The other was a young man who was poor but who had worked and gathered enough money to attend one year at college. This boy introduced himself as Raymond Gilbert. Harry was a good boy but was quick-tempered and easily tempted. Ray- mond was just oppositeg he was a cool. level-headed chap. Both the boys took a liking to each other from the start. They both enjoyed sports and went out for football and basketball. Neither was very good at these sports, but they enjoyed them and got much fun from playing them. Soon the baseball season came and this was destined to break their friendship. Both boys turned out to be very good ball players. And also both turned out to be catchers. Harry and Raymond could catch equally well, but Ray- mond could hit better than Harryg consequently, Raymond played in most of the games the first of the season. As the season wore on, it made Harry envious of Raymond, seeing him play in all of the hard games. Soon hatred took seat in Harry's heart and grew more intense by the influence of a few of the other boys of the dormitory who did not like Raymond because he was poor and was making such a showing in college. Raymond, seeing how Harry was acting and knowing also that some of the other boys were influencing him, tried to reason with him, but he was beyond control. One day money was stolen from the class treasurer. The evidence led to the belief that Raymond had stolen it because he had been working in the room where the money had been left. Raymond was ordered off the baseball team until he could prove himself innocent. One evening he was returning to his room and was about to open the door when he heard Harry say that the trick had worked fine and that he was to play ball the following Saturday. The whole thing dawned on Raymond. Harry had arranged things so that Raymond would be put off the team. and he himself put on. Raymond knew that Harry was not all at fault be- cause his friends had influenced him. After Harry's friends had left the room, Raymond went in and told Harry what he had heard. Harry became angry at first. then after a little reasoning admitted he was ashamed of himself and would tell the whole thing to the president of the college. But Raymond made Harry promise that he would not do this. Harry, the next day, without saying a word to Raymond, spread the news that the money had been found, as it had been misplaced by himself. VVhen Raymond went into his room that afternoon, llarry took Raymond's hand and told him he had never met a squarer fellow. N. L., '32, A MYSTERIOUS MURDER Early on the morning of December lst, Jimmy Smith of the Snoops De- tective Agency was called out on a case in the town of Pembroke. VVl1en jimmy came to the house, he found that a young girl had been shot. He called the people of the house and the servants and questioned them, but the THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 25 questioning revealed nothing. Then he went outside to find tracks, but due to a light snow which had fallen in the very early morning, he was unable to find any clues. He then called a fingerprint expert and sat down to think while he was waiting for him. In half an hour the fingerprint expert. Ralph Stacy, came and was im- mediately shown to the room where the shooting had taken place. He set to work at once, and finding no fingerprints, he began searching the carpet and soon discovered the mark of a partly worn-out overshoe. which he took a print of and showed to jimmy. Then the two set to work hunting for the overshoes which they sus- pected were in the house. Jimmy suddenly came upon them while searching the linen closet. This led Ralph and Jimmy to believe that it was someone in the house that had done the shooting. but this was far from a conviction and they knew it. So jimmy again questioned the servants and found that the cook usually kept a gun in her room, which had been taken the night be- fore. The house was again searched, but nothing was found to help them. just before leaving. after an all-day investigation, jimmy told them that he would take them all to court and make the guilty one confess. He left them to sleep with that thought and went to his own apartment to get some rest. XYhen he arrived at the house of the murder the next morn- ing, the servants told him that the girl's aunt had committed suicide, leaving a full confession of the murder. LAUREL M. BURNHAM, '32. ,,L,l...l-- THE HERMIT It was Uctober, a cold wind swept down through the small village of Forestville. From a small, dingy hut on the side of a rather high mountain directly behind the village, a rather feeble-looking man of middle age was seen to emerge and slowly to pick his way down the steep side of the moun- tain. NVho was this man and what did he mean by living in solitary confine- ment on the side of a mountain, were the questions asked by the people of the village, but no one knew. One-two-yes, three long years he had lived alone in his humble shack on the mountainside. NN'henever this seemingly queer being came down to the village for supplies, as he seldom did, he was asked questions regarding himself by the curious people. The first question put to him was, of course, regarding his name, but he always left the question unanswered, therefore the term, The Hermit, had been given him. As winter was fast approaching, The Hermit took an opportunity to go to the village for his winter supplies. lfut alas! He was unable to pay the bill for such a large quantity. And what was worse, the storekeeper refused to let him have even as much as a loaf of bread unless he paid for it. No one showed him any sympathy, so he returned to his lonely home. XVhen he reached his hut, he sat down on an old wooden box and thought about the unkindness of people. He had money at his disposal, but had wished to find out the character of the villagers. The next time he went to the village. he did not see the happy faces of the children and the grown-ups had grim looks on their faces. This aroused The Hermit's interest and he inquired about the changed state of affairs. Famine had struck the town! All the men folks were out of work. ln the 26 THE CRIMSON I?AMI?I.ER streets the children cried from hunger and the women were sad. What would happen to them with winter coming on and no money? If they did not freeze to death, they would die of starvation. i The Hermit, although he remembered how hard-hearted the people had been to him when he had said he had no money, felt sorry for the cold, hungry children and gave a large amount of money to the villagers. It was then that he revealed his identity. He informed them that he was Mr. Frank York, owner of the forest that surrounded Forestville. In addition to a sum of money, he gave each man a job working in the woods cutting trees. Everyone was very grateful to him and apologized for the way they had treated him. Upon being asked why he lived alone he answered that he had been in poor health and had been ordered by a doctor to live in this manner for seven years. He had already been here nearly four years and in three years he would go back to his home in Europe. Mi. L. R., '32. HER REWARD ' Betty Reynolds had just hnished her high school course and wanted very much to go to college, but as her parents were dead and she had no one to help her, she would have to work her way through, which would be hard for her. Things had looked dark for a while. until the lawyer had informed her that her uncle had died and left her his farm. This place, which had been his only possession, was located on the shore of a small but beautiful lake and was considered an ideal place for a boys' or girls' summer camp. Having been offered a moderate sum for the place, she had made up her mind to accept, as it was the only way for her to go to college that year. However, before sell- ing the place, she went to see it. It was afternoon when Betty arrived at the farmhouse, which was low and rambling and overlooked the lake. Smoke was curling from the chimney of an old weather-beaten shack, which was near the house. Being very curi- ous, Betty knocked on the door which an old man opened. VVhen she had ex- plained who she was, he invited her in and told her that he was an unfortu- nate friend of her uncle's, to whom her uncle had given permission to live in the shack as long as he wished. He talked with pride about the place, which was his only home, and also about his attempts at farming. Betty couldn't tell this old man that she was planning to sell the whole farm for a boys' camp, because her conscience troubled her when she thought of it. If she didn't sell the place, it meant that she would have to give up col- lege for that yearg but if she did sell, the old man would have nowhere to go but to the poorhouse. He seemed very happy here, consequently Betty made up her mind not to sell. Betty saw the old man only once that winter because she was busy work- ing as a waitress in a restaurant. The next winter he died. The following spring oil was discovered on the farm and when Betty sold it, she received many thousands of dollars. This assured her a college education, besides all the spending money she would need for a lifetime. . B. R. H., '32. THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 27 THE BEAUTY OF NATURE Saturday morning, October Sth, was a nice, clear day, and I had nothing to do. Suddenly I thought that I would take my gun and go into the woods. The air was cool, clear and crispg the kind of air that makes you feel alive. The trees were really beautiful with their golden leaves, which were shining and glimmering with the early dew as they caught the rays of the sun. Of a sudden my thoughts were interrupted by a whir of wings and Mr. Partridge with his brown and white coat disappeared into the woods. Faintly from far off came the drumming of a woodpecker. A bluejay flew screaming over my head. As I walked on, disturbing all the little workers. I came at last to a brook where the water shimmered in the sunlight. Soon there came a snort, a cracking of bushes, a Hash of white, and Mr. Deer passed from view. Overhead a squirrel scolded with an incessant chatter. Once in a while a rab- bit would jump and go skipping through the woods. It was early evening when I returned home, but I left with regret, for the woods, in the last rays of the sun, were more beautiful than when I had entered them. ROLAND LEWIS, '33. A MIDNIGHT FROLIC Claire and Madge were two freshettes who roomed together at Laur- ington College and who, having read a great deal about the midnight frolics in stories about college girls, determined to give a party. Clairels mother had died when Claire was very young, and her father was too much occupied with his business to keep tabs on his daughter's actions. So Claire wrote to her father's housekeeper, who fairly worshipped this child, telling her that he wanted a large box of delightful eats to be sent as soon as possible. The box came, and mid squeals of delight, the two roommates opened it. The contents seemed to be perfectg therefore, they told their special friends of their plan to give a party and set the hour at exactly twelve o'clock that night. The guests came promptly, walking on stockinged feet and wearing their darkest clothesg also little black masks over their faces. Claire's and Madge's room was arranged much as the rooms described in the books they had read. Heavy blankets were tacked over the windows and doors, and the lights were shaded with little caps of blue crepe paper. But in the center of the room there was spread on the study table a perfect picture of luscious delicacies. After these had been eaten and the remnants cleared away, the girls talked in excited whispers and were as quiet as possible, but now and then little bursts of laughter, which could not be suppressed, rang into the silence. Now the dean unexpectedly returned on the one o'clock train, from a visit to a sick friend and as she walked through the carpeted halls the merry- makers did not hear her. As she stepped into the corridor, the unusual sounds attracted her attention, and looking in the direction from which the sounds came, she detected a glimmer of light, where one of the blankets had been pushed aside. She walked to the door and knocked imperatively. The murmur of voices ceased and there issued from the room sounds of scuffiing feet. There was, luckily, a fire escape outside the window, which ran 28 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER the whole length of the building. The guests climbed hastily out and scam- pered back to their rooms, and Madge and Claire ripped down the blankets and threw them and the paper shades into the closet. At the dean's second knock. a tousled Claire appeared at the door. The dean gave no sign of her knowledge of the girls' prank and simply told them that they should not be studying so late at night and said Good night. The girls, somewhat subdued, jumped into bed. They never repeated the revelry in so extensive a form, but, nevertheless, they often had fudge parties late at night. BEING THANKFUL It was the week before Thanksgiving and all the girls at Miss NVinters' boarding school were talking about going home for the holiday. Merilyn Page had not been able to go home the year before and she had spent a terrible Thanksgiving Day there at the school with Miss Winters and Polly Jackson, whom none of the girls liked. So this year she was to go back home for seven wonderful days. She was to leave the Monday before Thanks- giving, and she had her small suitcase packed by Friday. But on Saturday night she had received a letter from her mother, and when she read it her eyes had filled with tears, for Jack, her brother, had scar- let fever, and of course, it will be impossible for you to come home, her mother had written. However, Aunt Elizabeth Rogers wrote that she would be pleased to have you spend the holiday with herf' Spend the holiday with Great Aunt Elizabeth in that great ark of a house! She just wouldn't! Merilyn was crying when her chum, Roberta Langly, came in. VVhat in the world are you howling for? just before Thanksgiving, too, Roberta wanted to know. just before Thanksgiving! I'm going to have a lot to-be thankful for! I've got to spend a whole week with my great aunt at Colton. One has to walk on tiptoe and talk in whispers in her house, Merry exploded. At Colton! Oh, Merry, that's just half a mile from where I'm going. W'e'll have a grand time. And so the two girls left the school for Colton together the next morning. Merry's Aunt Elizabeth greeted her much more cordially than she had expected. , The second day of the visit Aunt Elizabeth asked her if she wouldn't like to ask the Carls, who lived next door, to come over that afternoon. She might also ask Roberta, her aunt said. At two o'clock the Carls, two girls and two boys. and Roberta came and they had a very pleasant time playing cards and games. ' The day before Thanksgiving the Carls asked Merry to go skating with them. The ice was grand and Merry could skate as well as any of the others. When she got home she found a letter addressed to her. It was an in- vitation to a party! The cousins whom Roberta was visiting were giving a Thanksgiving party and had asked her to go. Cn Thanksgiving Day Merry said to Roberta who had come to see her: I certainly have something to be thankful for even if I couldn't go home. just think of poor jack with the scarlet fever. And I thought I would rather stay at the school with Miss Winters. B. H., '34, THE CRIMSON RAMBLER '29 THE BRONZE IDOL It was a large idol carved from bronze. It had formerly been in China, but now it was placed on a large. highly decorated platform in the private museum of Dr. Scriber. Dr. Scriber had obtained this idol while he was in China during a war. He had been there for the purpose of obtaining material for a book that he was planning to write. Dr. Scriber had been in the mountains quite a distance from the village where he was staying and, returning about three weeks after he had left, he found that the village had been destroyed by the enemy. He noticed that the church, or temple, had not been greatly destroyed and so he entered the building. On a platform he saw an idol, a thing of great beauty. He and his companion, Mr. Miller, had packed the idol and had taken it back to France with them. Now it was in Dr. Scriber's home with the rest of the treasures in the museum. 4 These treasures were mostly of Chinese origin. There were beautiful paintings that were hundreds of years old, small statues and idols, jewels, porcelains, tapestries and other various kinds of valuable art. But a person would immediately stop looking at the other treasures to look at this one large idol. It stood on a tall platform made of highly polished tile, worked into a design of great beauty. The idol itself was about three feet tall and was ornamented with costly jewels. Dr. Scriber did not know the Chinese name for the idol, but he called it the God of Beauty, because its face was carved so exquisitely that it looked almost human. Dr. Scriber had in his employ a Chinese servant who took care of the museum. One day Chan, the servant, was polishing the God of Beauty when he hit the ear of the idol with quite a force. The ear slid forward enough to reveal a small cavity behind it. Chan saw, in the cavity, a piece of parchment rolled tightly. He unrolled it and found Chinese writing, which read like this: Take hold of the third Finger of the left hand of the idol and press on the fingernail. Chan immediately told this strange happening to Dr. Scriber who was in the library with Mr. Miller. The thought of the message left the doctor's mind until late that night when he went into the museum. Thinking he would see what had been meant by the message, he pressed hard on the nail of the third finger of the left hand of the idol-the next morning he was found dead at the foot of the idol. Chan found him after noticing that his master had not slept in his bed the night before. He had thought it strange and had gone to look for him. Now he saw him dead at the foot of the idol which he had called his greatest possession. The face of the idol that had before looked beautiful looked to Chan to be mocking. Chan summoned a medical doctor who said that it was quite evident that Dr. Scriber had died from poison. He also noticed that on Dr. Scriber's thumb on the right hand was a small red spot. Chan looked at the idol suspiciously. His mind swept to the message: f'Take hold of the third finger of the left hand of the idol and press hard upon the fingernail. After the doctor had left, Chan looked at the fingernail of the idol. He at Hrst saw nothing. Then a small point of a needle could be seen. He took the needle out and in doing so scratched his finger the least bit. Chan soon joined Dr. Scriber in death. 30 THE CRIMSON RAMBLER Mr. Miller, after the funeral of Chan and Dr. Scriber, looked at the idolg then took a hammer and struck a hard blow upon that fatal finger of the idol. He looked at the cavity that was left where he had struck the linger. Sud- denly the fumes of a poisonous gas came from that cavity and nearly over- came Mr. Miller. However, thinking of the death of Dr. Scriber and Chan, he took the hammer and, screaming madly, struck the head of the statue. The head rolled onto the floor and the rest of the idol fell upon Mr. Miller, killing him, as he was already near death from the poisonous gas. ATruth is now to be told. The idol was that of the God of Death. The Chinese had visualized death as sweet, which fact explained that beautiful face. But the deaths had been revenged by destruction. FRED PENDEXTER, '34.

I do not like to go to schoolf' I said Une day to my brother, And I would not be here now If it were not for my mother. She said to me, You'd better go And try your task at learning, 'Cause when you get out in the world It will help you with your earning. I said to her, I guess you're right,', And I will keep on going, And then when I graduate I'll get a little showing. A R. D., '33. BY THE RADIO After mv evening's work is neatly done, I sit down to the radio for some fung I silently and slowly turn the dial around And pick up programs with varieties of sound. There are songs of the present and songs of the past, Some are played slow and some are played fastg There are broadcasts of dramas, all diflferent types- liroadcasts of- baseball, football and Fights. I at last find a program which suits me to a T And comfortably settle myself on the cosy setteeg I dreamily listen while my mind roams at will And the voices and music furnish me many a thrill. W. G. W., STANDISH HIGH I Miss Brewster's room is full of books And so is Mr. johnson's, toog I guess there are enough to last A million years or so. There's English and there's Civics, And if anything makes me blue, It's to look at tomorrow's Latin And see what I have to do. You have to work and work and work If you don't intend to stay Right here for ten or fifteen years Until your hair gets gray. But then, there's gym on Tuesdays And recess every dayg I guess Standish High is not so bad If you look at it in the right way. B.

The team is captained by Willard Austin, a junior and veteran of last year. Due to the fact that Scarborough is playing baseball this year, the League has been divided into two divisions. called the Inside Division and the Shore Division. The winners of each division play a three-game series for the championship. SCHEDULE OF TRIPLE CH Inside Division April 17 Standish at Pennell. April 24 New Gloucester at Standish. ' April 30 VVindham at Standish. May 5. Standish at Gorham. May 8 Pennell at Standish. May 19 Standish at Winclham. May 26. Standish at New Gloucester. May 29. Gorham at Standish. VVe are planning to schedule several more games outside of the League. BASKETBALL OF 1931 The basketball season of 1931 was very successful. both financially and in producing a team which won the championship of the Triple HC' 'League We were picked to play in the Smaller High School Tournament at Lewiston. Standish, along with Mexico High, were favored to win the Tournament, but the two favorites met in one of the first games and we were eliminated by the score of 24 to 10, due to the fact that we had never played on such a large Floor as that. We began the season, under Coach Rupert johnson's faultless coaching. by winning the First seven games with ease, and then came the only defeat in the Conference for Standish, by Scarborough, by the score of to 20. And then not having got back into form, we had to play an overtime period with Gorham to win by the score of 24 to 23. , THE CRIMSON RAMBLER 41 After winning the next three games by large scores, Gorham included C52 to 20j, we went to Scarborough to prove to them it was a night off for us when they beat us on the 13th of january. VVe took the game by the score of 30 to 10 and led all the way. The greatest scoring spree of the season was against Freeport at Stan- dish, by the score of 100 to 8, playing two teams. After the Tournament we met Scarborough in the Y. M. C. A. in Port- land for the Championship of the Triple C League. We won by the score of 26 to 15, leading all the way and only being pushed in the third period. The team was captained by James Rand, a Senior. The team was a well- balanced team, holding the opponents to 317 points and making 9-L3. INDIVIDUAL SCORING Games Goals Fouls Points R.
