It was a steady systematic sound that beat sharp and clear against my sleep-deafencd eardrums. No, it couldnit be. But there was no mistaking that sound. No matter what I did. it didn't fit into my dreams properly. It was the real sound of Dick's axe falling heavily on a log. I could hear each thud like a pistol shot with me the victim, for I knew only too well what this meant. It meant it was four A.M., and time to get up. Sleepily I wiggled from my sleeping bag, and, shivering, fished in the semi-blackness for my clothes. Mary Iune was resting too peacefully for my happiness, so I gave her a pinch as I shoved through the tent door, toothbrush in hand. Outside, things seemed too jolly for so early in the day. Dick was bending over the fire, his red shirt iust a trille too bright against the dark gloom of the forest backdrop, Ted was whistling a lively tune as he rattled amongst the pans. Good morning, grin- ned Dick, his new heard seeming to bristle with the ioy of the early hour. 'SOh, good morning, Richard. I muttered, passing the warm hre and heading for the lake. Standing on the shore, I gazed at nature around me. Here I was at last on the shores of Lake Kecakabic, the IUOSK beautiful in the North. The sky, the lake, the rocky shore were the same leaden color. On the other side were tall, majestic pines, a dark, gloomy mass half obliterated by a weak mist, that was being slowly Whipped by a bitter north wind to little wisps. How scintillatingf' I thought as I shiveringly swished my toothbrush into this gray mirror. Soon my hands had turned a healthy red from the cold water, so I quickly hurried back to the fire. This fire was a little smoky, but at least the front of me felt better toasted, though the wind was still exploring down the back of my neck. Smoke always follows beauty, I remarked, snilhng slightly, but somehow the joke fell through. HChow. Dick announced in his ever pleasant voice, and suddenly the camp seemed very wide awake with all present around the oatmeal bucket. Breakfast was devoured in two minutes flat: and we set about our various duties, which included washing dishes in cold lake water and packing the sacks with much shoving and pushing, and at the last minute discovering something left out, but these are only small details. So very shortly we were shoving olI in that early morning gray, and as I slowly dipped my paddle back and forth, I felt sad at leaving my beautiful lake.

THE GHOST OF THE SUMMIT BOILEB GU may not have known it, but every Sunday night a weird greenish apparition creeps slowly out of the Summit School boiler. It makes no difference if Phil has locked the doors, because he just floats blissfully through them. You might think that he has an awful boring time, living in a boiler, but he really leads a happy death. Often, if youyve noticed, he sits in the boiler and taps against the walls, -making quite a noise in the radiators upstairs. Since he stays out late on Sunday nights and sleeps in the boiler, he often sleeps late on Monday mornings and keeps all the hot air from going up the vents. This makes the building uncomfortably cool. Herman, thatis his name, really isn't so bad. When you take a test and you get a very unexpected mark, it was Hermanis work. He changes your mark according to whether you've chewed gum or talked in assembly. Often you'll have a mitten or a scarf missing, and it will turn up in the Lost and Foundf' That, also, is Hermanis work. On Sunday nights, however, he slithers out of the boiler at about ten o'clock and goes floating into the kitchen to hunt for something to drink. His favorite drink is evaporated milk. Then he goes up to the gym to play Murder,' and '4Ghost,' and other games with his second cousins who come to visit him from the Academy. After a while he floats up to Miss Stephens' room to see how many weird chemical lights and explosions he can make. His object of interest in the laboratory is the litmus paper. His favorite class is history. He says that it brings back memories of the dead. From the laboratory he slides down the railing and into the art room to see if anyone has painted a picture that looks like him. He says he hasnit found any yet but that a few would pass for his great-aunt. Then, since heill have to get up early the next morning, he drifts wearily toward the boiler room. On his way he stops once more in the kitchen. He eats some cereal, Ghost Toasties, and then floats for home. As he climbs onto his bed of coals, he sets the boiler to wake him up at seven-thirty sharp. Maybe this Monday morning the build- ing will be nice and warm.
