Four years, each bound with friendship ' s steel. And each aroused with varied strife: Each torn with struggles, joys, pains; Each oihrant with abounding life. In silence deep they fade away. At length they seem forever flown; The afterglow of past events Behind their vanished form is thrown. Four years of Alma Mater ' s care. And now Life ' s trumpet calls to place; With tingling nerves and muscles tense Each man leaps forward to his race. Will Life, with doubtful purpose, throw Its golden frauds before our eyes ' ? Shall we, like Atalanta, pause. And let a rival win the prize? -Poet. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A complete and concise history of the Senior Class is almost impossible, owing to the varied circumstances with which the class has been associated. The history of the Senior Class began in the fall of 1915, when a band of about one hundred seventy-five men gazed for the first time upon the campus and buildm gs which make up our college. We immediately assumed all the responsibilities of college life. We were in every place where duty called us, to defend the honor of our college. As Sophomores, less hazing was done by us than by any previous class. The long- drawn howl of the hunting Sophomore was not heard often. Our Junior year, owing to the war, found our class reduced to the small number of forty-seven men. The year 19 found our class somewhat increased in number and, after many special examinations and much anxiety, about sixty of us were allowed to bear the coveted title of Senior. We have not been very successful in class athletics; but have furnished our full share of ' varsity men to every phase of college athletics. Furthermore, we have been ably repre- sented by our intercollegiate debaters, and our Society Day and Anniversary debaters and orators, who are second to none. We must not forget those of our number who heard the call of the colors and responded in a way admirable and loyal to the country which gave them birth. Many of them have made records of which we are justly proud, though only one has made the supreme sacrifice. Many of them returned to us; and we welcomed them back as true sons of the old South and of Wake Forest. With appreciation for the training and development received, we come to the close of the four years, not vain, but proud of the achievements of the Class of ' 19. May the four years we have lived, studied, and fought together, ever be to us a binding tie! Thus we close our college history, and with determination and faith in the future, we launch out into the battle of life, sure that our real history is just beginning, and that in years to come when we shall meet again, many names will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and our deeds will be declared worthy of the ideals of the times in which we live. Historian. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The names of those have already been inscribed on the golden pages of memory, who rallied to the call of their country, not to do their bit, but to do their all in the greatest struggle in the world ' s history, and who as conquerors have returned to us. to strive to give to the world the best they have. One immortal name of the Class of 1919 which may be cited to indicate the old Wake Forest spirit is that of Lieutenant R. H. Turner, commonly known by his classmates as Goat, who made the supreme sacrifice for his country. It is with great hesitation that I write the prophecy of a class composed of men of such valor. After practicing medicine for thirty years in New York City, I became, in my declining years, a wanderer, and decided to review the past and to look into the fate of the Class of 1919. The first consideration was the method of travel. Having served in the Naval Medical Reserve Force, and remembering the horrors and difficulties of the water, I decided to make the trip in the White Sedan Airplane, designed and built by the restless genius of Sky White, an old classmate of mine. White now being too distantly located from Meredith College to continue his social relations with that institution in a Ford, as of old. had built this airplane purposely to attend the receptions at Meredith. C. M. McCurry. a pilot in the United States Army in 1918. and the only aviator of our class, who after leaving college went to Oklahoma and later was elected dean of the Department of English at Yale University, kindly consented to make the trip with me. I began my tour of the battlefield of wonder in the month of June. The sky was clear and silence prevailed as we swiftly sped through the air twenty thousand feet high. Peace- ably seated in my easy chair with my feet propped higher than my head, and contentedly smoking a cigar, the while scanning the pages of the Universal Newspaper, edited by my old classmates, R. R. Mallard and R. P. Burns, I noticed in large headlines that W. A. Queen, Ennis Bryan, and James C. Eagle, after many years of study and travel, had become the world ' s greatest scientists and had located in Paris. After spending twenty years in Paris, Queen and Eagle returned to the United States to look in the eyes of the Southern girl; but Bryan had to remain to mend a broken heart. Then an advertisement of a new book, published by H. L. Griffin and Company, attracted my attention. Judge Cowan and John Floyd, after mastering Dewey ' s book, How We Think, or rather after mem- orizing it for Professor Cochran on Philosophy I. had become great philosophers and had written a book, How Not to Think. Midway across the deep blue, I observed the United State battleship, Neal of the Navy, named after the great physicist, Phil. Neal, swiftly steaming along; and after a few tail- spins and loops, as Mac called them, we were low enough to recognize Admiral Gooch and Chaplain Stimson of the United States Navy. And then I remembered that I had been under the command of Gooch in 1918. S. L. Whitehead was ship surgeon. The Navy always appealed to him, and at times when the stars were shining on the gentle Pacific, he sat on the deck and dreamed of the days when he was in Wake Forest College, and of the night when the Captain ' s daughter slipped her little hand in his and said. Sammie, I love you. G. B. Nance reached the goal of his ambition when in January, 1940, he was elected president of Meredith College. Our beloved president, W. E. Honeycutt, after receiving his Ph.D. from Chicago University, became dean of the Biblical Department of that Uni- versity. The world has been astounded by the renowned lecturers, L. B. Dawes, L. S. Spurling, and B. T. Ward, who have spent their lives, since leaving college, traversing the globe and lecturing on the world ' s vital problems. Joel I. Allen. Jr., because of his indisputable business ability which was so eminently displayed in college, was placed at the head of the United States Railroad Administration in 1935. Phil. Elliot, a prominent writer, had recently won renowned fame with his single unique short story, Britt Choosing a Profession, using as its hero the eminent L. J. Britt. G. R. Herring won the hand of a fair one, after leaving college, with the aid of his music. Later he and R. N. Childress went to China to serve humanity; and there they did a great work. H. M. Papazian, after completing the study of medicine, went back to Armenia and planted a hospital in the heart of his country. Drs. S. E. Teague and Joe Fleetwood, after many years of hard and persistent work in their private laboratory at Chicago. III., discovered a sure cure for the liquor habit. L. T. Gibson, a figure of national prominence in the legal profession, was retained by Teague and Fleetwood to form a stock company, which was to provide for the manufacture and sale of the wonderful cure. Attorney Gibson organized the proposed company and in- duced some of the nation ' s wealthiest men to take stock, among them being the following: Knotty Lambert, a famous doctor and a prohibitionist in politics only. Dr. W. H. Whitmore, sole owner of Johns Hopkins Hospital; Professor A. V. Nolan, dean of the Political Science Department of the University of North Carolina (who had cleaned up a fortune selling his great compound, Nolan ' s Pain Remover, a medicine designed and prepared especially for college students); and Big Boy Blanchard, physician for the National Baseball Players ' Fraternity. Professors E. M. Jackson, Marion B. Tolar, and L. Sasser were members of the faculty of Columbia University. Dr. T. C. Britt married a beautiful belle of Los Angeles and began the practice of medicine there. W. L. Tatum found his life ' s work early after leaving college. He still calls out stations on a trans-Atlantic greyhound. Honorable C. L. Bailey was Speaker of the House for several years. Every Freshman from 1916 to 1919 predicted that Bailey would become a great speaker; for when the world was left to darkness and to the Freshmen, the roaring voice of Bailey could be heard out in the bewildering murk, yelling, Newish on the Campus! Get him off! This pre- dominant cry at once made his name famous with every Freshman class, and with this prominence there could be no defeat for him in the political world. J. H. Bunn is another prominent figure in politics who was compelled to go to the Ridge and Hadley Emer- gency Hospital of Dallas Hill a town named after D. E. Hill in 1940, on account of nervous breakdown. M. A. Pittman was president of the Bell Medical College, a famous institution of the South, named after Dr. E. Bell. Professor E. L. Ponder, who while in college taught in the Wake Forest High School, was still following the teaching profession and was teaching in Oxford University, using his own textbooks, which he wrote immediately after leaving college. Wake Forest was still sending her representatives out into the four corners of the earth, and because of their loyal spirit and unequaled records had become a great institution of learning, second to none. These men had made a reputation for their Alma Mater; but give honor to whom honor js due; and to do this, we must name the members of the faculty, who constitute a college and make it what it is. Dr. J. L. Sowers was dean of the Medical Department, the staff of which was composed of Drs. J. E. Snow. B. T. Tally, and J. 0. Nolan, while J. R. Britt was professor of Paleontology. This ended the wonders of my flight, for we had been around the bend and had come back again. McCurry retired from social life and went back west. Tired of the turmoil of the city, I went to live in a house by the side of the road, where the race of men go by, to be a friend to man. Prophet. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Class of Nineteen, composed of many who have seen service, and have re- turned to the ranks of education, reahzing that soon we shall depart from this sphere of college activity to enter the Great Game of Life, do make and declare this our last Will and Testament. We acknowledge this day that we are in full possession of sound mind, memory, and understanding, and that this is the only authorized instrument made by us. We direct that our beloved faculty be executors of this Last Will and Testament, which is as follows: We give and bequeath to the College our loyalty and undying devotion, pledging our- selves ever to its support and vowing to uphold its traditions and its ideals. We give and bequeath to the faculty our sincere thanks for their patience, endurance, and encouragement, which have kept us climbing, when disaster seemed at times inevitable. We give and bequeath to our beloved Dean all our records, our absences from class and chapel, trusting that they will not cause him any great anxiety. We give and bequeath to the Class of ' 20 the following curtailed estate: 1. Our Senior dignity: may it fall on worthy shoulders. 2. Our good qualities, our ideals, and our reputation, trusting that they may benefit by our mistakes, and seek to raise higher the Standard of Excellence. We give and bequeath to the student body our enthusiasm and interest in everything for the elevation and more useful service of our college, with the ardent hope that through them it may reach a higher and loftier sphere in the world of men. We give and bequeath all of our don ' t wants, including old hats, shoes, clothes, et cetera, to Dr. Tom. In witness whereof we. the Class of ' Nineteen, the testators, have set our hand and seal, this 13th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thou- sand nine hundred and nineteen. SENIOR VOTE During the latter part of March, the president of the Senior Class sent out a proclama- tion, in which he announced a meeting at one o ' clock of the august body, to do honor to its members. Many, knowing the full significance of the meeting, hurried along ahead of time, and at the proper time and place a large number were present. Amidst the aroma of cigar and cigarette smoke, intermingled with the shouts of candi- dates saying. Vote for me! the balloting began. The honor of being the Biggest Ladiesman was voted to Myron McCurry. who for years has paid tribute and attention to the fair sex of our community. Shorty Ridge was elected the Most Popular man, and when the vote came for the Biggest Sport, Sky Nance voted twice, thus causing a tie. The Rev. Mr. Nance was repentant, and after withdrawing one of his votes, John Floyd was declared elected by one vote, much to the delight of his followers. J. L. Sowers, owing to his charming carriage, his upright figure, and his interrogated supports, was elected Best Athlete. To this Knotty Lambert was heartily opposed, and owing to his disturbance and past history he was voted immediately the Biggest Rough Neck. The honor of being the Most Handsome man of the class was bestowed without opposi- tion on H. L. Griffin, while James Eagle was elected a Woman Hater, because, due to the powers of Fate, his girl refused him. When the balloting for the Biggest Dead Beats came, there was opposition on every hand. Lo! it seemed as though the class was dominated by these animals. It seemed as though no conclusion could be safely reached; but some one suggested a compromise which made Teague and Fleetwood the Biggest Dead Beats, while Pup Hadley was voted the Biggest Parasite. P. E. White was elected the Most Ladylike, closely followed by J. 0. Nolan, the Best Orator, and J. E. Snow, the Hardest Worker. During this time the meeting had reached fever heat, and frequently missiles were hurled across the room and hot words were exchanged between some of the candidates. Dr. Pearson came in, but beat a hasty retreat, saying, In there, a man ' s life is worth two cents. Dr. Hubert had inquired of a man if the Bolsheviki Club was being organized, and on being told the significance of the uproar exclaimed, Great balls of green cheese! The tumult subsided, and P. L. Elliott was duly elected Best Student, while our beloved president, Honeycutt, was voted the Best Politician. C. L. Bailey was dubbed the Best Writer. R. P. Burns the Best Singer, and W. A. Queen the Most Generous. The excitement was increasing, and in this mood, Dick Pittman was elected the Most Homely, B. T. Tally the Campus Walker, and Whitmore, the Biggest Tightwad. Now the confusion was intense, and one on the outside would have believed that a room in Wake Forest College had been turned into a European battlefield. Bob Mallard, owing to his persistent association with the faculty, was dubbed the Biggest Legger in col- lege, while A. V. Nolan, for his jubilant spirits and high ideals, was declared the Most Opti- mistic. The class felt like that the election should end here, and already the old Bell was sounding the hour, but the post of Suffragette Leader was still vacant, and immediately Mr. Nance was elected, while amidst the y ells of aye! and the sounds of breaking up, Tolar was elected the Biggest Grouch. en MISS RUTH BLACK Sponsor Junior Class JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS W.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The history of the Class of 1920 began in September, 1916, when, as Newish, we first set our feet on Wake Forest soil. The remembrance of this time will never be erased from our minds. Like all other Newish, we thought that the world was small, and that we were the biggest part of it. Fortunately we learned differently, and had to stay in our holes, as meek and lowly Newish, and study, keeping eyes and ears open and mouths shut. This year we were very active in the field of athletics, and won the class championship in foot- ball, baseball and basketball, besides contributing many men to the Varsity teams. We returned to college in the fall of 1917, Sophomores, with our ranks depleted, but with a supposed enormous increase in wisdom and knowledge. During this year we won the class championship in football and baseball, and contributed several more men to the Varsity teams. We contributed our part to the Liberty Loan Bonds, and to the Y. M. C. A. Fund. But now we return in 1918 — Juniors, our ranks still more depleted. Immediately we began to learn three things, namely, that the world is big, that we are ignorant, and that the faculty is friendly. The session of 1918- ' 19 is nearly over, and, thanks to the fates that brought us to Wake Forest, we have learned all three. We have nearly passed the transi- tion period, the greatest period in college life, the period of the Junior Class. Now, we are just plain Juniors, not unlike the hundreds of Juniors who have walked the old campus and met in the same old classrooms before us. Students, athletes, sports, leggers. ladiesmen, blockheads, debaters, orators, bigeaters — such men compose our class. This year we are only forty-five strong, but the spirit of which we boast is present. Was not this the spirit that inspired so many of the Class of ' Twenty to answer their country ' s call? Ah, our ranks have been thinned, but our aims, our hopes, our ideals are and ever shall be the purest and the best. This year, as Juniors, we contributed our part in the War Work Campaign, and have given over eight hundred dollars to the Million Dollar Fund for Baptist schools in North Carolina. Next session, when we return as Seniors, we shall strive to live up to the ideals of old ' 20, as we complete our preparation for the part we must take in the reconstruction of the world. — Historian. %mu f , jA- ;( k 1 m 1 Bm J F i ' ■ Hjk iVp Jfl ■■■■■ 1 kfc H MISS MOULTRIE DRAKE Sponsor Sophomore Class SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS C.

First year friends, to you Beware! Do not heed remarks so childish. Think of your long, curly hair. Poet SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The history of the Sophomore Class dates back to September 3. 1917, when, as ad- venturous Newish, we came to Wake Forest and entered the first round of college life. At first, we were very free to express our opinion, both in actions and words, but it took only a short time, under the careful instructions of the Sophomores, for us to learn that the opmion of the Freshman was not very highly valued. Although we had many trials, known only to Freshmen, our first year at college was a great success, which may be attributed to the ability of our leader and president, Rufus Hunter. On September 24, 1918, the Class of ' 21 returned to College to continue its course in the pursuit of knowledge and happiness. This time we came not as green and humble Freshmen, shaking with fear from head to foot, but as bloody Sophomores, with a feeling of wisdom that would have made Solomon tremble. As we neared the college we gave a series of yells, which have been continued ever since, as a reminder to the Freshmen that the campus is efficiently patrolled, both night and day, by the brave members of our class. Much to our regret we were free only for a few days to entertain, instruct, and get the Newish on the straight road to success; for on October 1, the whole class, with a few exceptions, was inducted into the Student ' s Army Training Corps. The first term was marked by no special events in college life, for the S. A. T. C. was the dominating phase of our fall work. We met on December 9 for the purpose of organizing our class. Clyde P. Harris was elected president, and under his unparalleled supervision we have had a year filled with events that would do credit to any class of similar experience. We consider ourselves quite fortunate in having for our sponsor. Miss Moultrie Drake, of Bennettsville. South Carolina. In every phase of college life we have shown our wit and skill. In the classroom there are none better, for already several of our number have been appointed assistants to the faculty. The Literary Societies have been unusually benefited by the active work of mem- bers of our class. On the athletic field we are excelled by none, having contributed many strong men to the Varsity teams: among them an All-Southern football star. Due to various reasons, we have had only a few inter-class athletic contests, but in each contest the Sophomores have made a good record. We have not confined ourselves to college activities, either. We have shown our patriotism by buying War Savings Stamps and by subscribing to Liberty Loan Bonds. But there is something still greater to be added to our patriotic memorandum, and that is the service rendered by our members who joined the colors, some of whom have returned, while others never will. The Baptists of the State will long remember us for our liberal subscription to the Million Dollar Fund. The pages of all the College religious records are dotted with the names of members of the Sophomore Class. Thus we have spent our first years in college. The historian will now lay aside his pen to resume his active place among his fellow-students in helping to make the future history of his class.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY If I were asked to write the history of the Class of 1922 several years from now. instead of at the present, I am sure I should not be able to comply with honor, for then the task will be too large for any one person. It is difficult to attempt to write the history of an organization with so promising a future, at the beginning of its existence. The Class of ' 22 entered Wake Forest under different conditions from its predecessors. It was introduced to a combination of College life and army regime, so the Freshman Class did not, in reality, become acquainted with the real Wake Forest until the spring term. Nevertheless, the Class became more experienced in many respects than the preceding Freshmen classes, and it was not a whit slower in acquiring and practicing the Wake Forest spirit. After several abortive attempts, in which the Sophomores took an active part, the class was finally organized just preceding the Christmas holidays, at which time Miss Helen Young, of Raleigh, was elected sponsor. The Freshman Class, this year, exceeded all previous classes in size, the total registra- tion being two hundred and forty. In athletics, the Class of 1922 has been well represented, with three men on the Varsity football squad, five on the scrubs. A good many men were out for basketball, who will probably make the team next year. The Freshman-Sophomore football game, one of the most interesting events of the season, resulted in a tied score of 6 6. The Freshman basket- ball team was one of the best Freshmen teams Wake Forest has seen in several years. The Class of ' 22 has — but why say more? As I mentioned in the beginning, the history of the Class of 1922 has merely begun. The complete history is yet to be made: but when it is completed, it will stamp ' 22 as one of the greatest classes ever at Wake Forest. Historian.

The following year, owing to the ravages of war, our enrollment was cut down to forty-nine, while the class of the present year only numbers forty. Our aims are of a dual nature — to get our diplomas and to be granted license to practice Law in North Carolina by the Supreme Court of the State. Three of our number, although they have not finished their study of Law, have obtained their license. They are Page, Scarborough, and Gooch. A large number are preparing for the next examination. Throughout our college course we have been guided by as great a Law faculty as any institution can boast of. And it can be most earnestly and truthfully said that they are loved by every member of their classes. They are Professors Gulley, Timberlake, and White. We feel that the training we have received from them has had and will always have a great influence on our lives, morally as well as intellectually. Not only have our members distinguished themselves in the classroom, but we have each year contributed a creditable number of men to the athletic teams of the college. Many of our number have already won the coveted W, while there are several more who bid fair to reach that goal in the near future. Space does not permit an elaboration on the deeds, abilities, and qualifications of each individual, and we merely wish to let it be known that we of the Law Department are a living unit, and play our part and do our bit in every phase of college life. The other classes and departments can furnish the doctors, ministers, and teachers, but it must be left to us to produce lawyers and statesmen. Historian.

Not only is the class full of Americans, but Chma has two representatives with us. These men have a burmng desire to brmg together the remnants of this earthly kingdom under the one great Captain of the Universe. The ranks of this class have been greatly depleted by the call of patriotism. Not a few of Its most worthy men have heard the call to arms, while a far greater number have willingly and patriotically filled chaplaincies in the various branches of service, pointing men as they win earthly victories to the final victory won in the heart. Ours is the largest class in college. Seventy-five men strong, it looks squarely m the face the challenge, which the world has thrust upon it, with a zeal to Blaze the path where highways never ran. in the spirit of the lowly Nazarene. The class, with singleness of mind and oneness of purpose is makmg due progress m deepening and widening its religious influence m college. The predominant task of the class is to give the student body a deeper grasp on things moral and divine. It is taking aggressive steps in makmg its power felt in the college, in the community, and in the State There is no phase of college activities in which its members are not found. Their metal rings true on the baseball diamond, the gridiron, the track, and the floor. They even ven- ture mto the field of oratory and debate, and with their gas and brass they perplex their worthy competitors many times by carrying off honors, due only to great men. The class does not restrict its activities entirely to the college, m lending the hand of moral uplift and in pointing men to the supreme task and only goal, but throughout the adjoinmg counties some of its members go each Sunday with a burnmg message, warmng men of sin. of righteousness, and of judgment to come. Many pastorless churches are supplied in this way, while others have pastoral charge of churches. In this way the power of the class is very widely felt. 1 should be worthily condemned should I close this brief history without paying our best respects and highest honors to that one dynamic personality that means more to the class than any other human agency. No group, no class of men ever had a more lovmg, sympathetic, self-sacrificmg, influential teacher, a man with God any closer to his heart, and his heart any closer to theirs, than our highly esteemed instructor. Prof. F. K. Pool, It seems that he draws us in every way with a smile that is inspiring, a hand that is strong and a loving heart that meets with ours, making a union that is inseparable. I am not nearing the end of my task, but time and space prevent further prevarication, so I leave the final history of this august body to my worthy successor.

R. MALLARD It was winter in the mountains of Western Carolina. The little village of Chestnut, down in the valley of the Great Smokies, lay half-buried in a great snowdrift. The narrow road could hardly be discerned winding its way through the snow-covered evergreens, lead- ing down into the village. The rhododendron leaves were heaped with snow, and the bare limbs of the other trees gave the place a deserted look. The icy wind moaned around the mountain and whistled through the barren gorges. The only noise to be heard, except that of the wind, was the ring of the village blacksmith ' s anvil. Have you finished with Nancy? queried the big man who had just entered the little log blacksmith shop. Nancy greeted her master with a whicker and jerk of the head, and the man stepped over and rubbed the bay mare on the nose. The smoke was curling up to the roof from the forge in the corner, and sparks were flying from the red-hot shoe the smith had on the anvil. Jest a minit. Sheriff, responded Bill Franks, the blacksmith. He slowly tempered the red-hot shoe in a tub of water, from which rose a cloud of steam, accompanied by a hissing sound made by the hot shoe in the water. As soon as the shoe had cooled it was applied to the hoof. Her feet ain ' t as tender as they wuz when you first got her. Sheriff. I ' ve been a-shoin ' her so reglar that her feet is as tough as any horse ' s, remarked Bill. He drove the nails accurately, and began to clinch them. Yes, Nancy is all right, and two hundred and fifty of no man ' s money could part us now. We have been through so many tight places together that we have grown to be good pals. You remember when you got that notch in your ear from old Dave ' s bullet, don ' t you, Nancy? said the sheriff, as he patted her on the neck. Thar she is, said Bill, as he put Nancy ' s foot to the ground. He slapped her on the rump. She shore is a fine piece o ' horseflesh, continued Bill, and he turned to watch the sheriff swing into the saddle. Kinder rough mornin ' to start out, ain ' t it. Sheriff? Yes, it ' s a little bad; but I ' ve got to go over to Devil ' s Den after a fellow, responded the sheriff. He spurred Nancy and rode off through the village. Bill turned and entered the shop, put another shovelful of charcoal on the forge, and went over and sat down by Sam Higgs, who was warming his hands over a wood fire. Sam had kept quiet while the sheriff was in the shop, but now he became very loquacious. I ' d shore hate to ave to ride them ten miles today, but I reckon that ' s what it takes to make a sheriff. You can just count on Sheriff gittin ' his man. 1 Ic never goes atter one that he don ' t git. Yes, replied Bill. Ole Sheriff ' s a good one. Do you remember that time when he killed Dave Bridger. over there in Devil ' s Den? That vifuz the time when Nancy got that notch in her ear. I never heard the ' ticulars ' bout that, responded Sam. You know it happened when I wuz out to the wheat fields. You see it wuz this way. Bridger wuz a rough one, an ' he ' d been tracked through twenty states afore he come up here. One day Sheriff heard that he had lodged in Devil ' s Den, so he couldn ' t rest till he got im. The Sheriff said they had a big fight, an ' I low they did, cause Sheriffs hat had a couple o ' holes in it an ' Nancy had that gap in her ear, what you saw just now. Anyway, he come back that evenin ' with old Dave across his horse. Then Bill shook his head and added, When Sheriff goes atter one and don ' t bring ' im back, he just ain ' t there; that ' s all there is to it. The clouds were lowering. The sun had not shown itself for nearly a week. It was unusually cold, and the snow had a thick crust of hail on top. The sheriff rested his Win- chester across the pommel of the saddle and gave Nancy the reins. He was in a rather reminiscent mood that morning, and as the mare knew the road there was no plausible reason why he could not indulge in memories of the past. In fact he seemed almost listless; he pulled his big fur collar up around his neck to keep out the cold wind, and settled down in the saddle. Twice rabbits crossed the road in front of him, and he did not even notice them. He was really oblivious of everything around him but Nancy and the cutting wind. It has been eighteen years; no, it has been twenty years, since I first came to Chest- nut, mused the sheriff. He thought of how he had left his home down in Georgia. All the circumstances loomed before him, but after all it was only a little youthful frivolity that caused the trouble. The thought which consoled him was that the people of Chestnut did not know of his past life. His spirits rose quite a good deal when he thought of how he had lived since coming to Chestnut. He had won the confidence of the people, and they had responded by making him sheriff. Does she still live? he asked himself; the thought of the only girl he had ever loved seemed to make him more downcast than ever. He could not answer the question, because he had not heard from her since coming to Chestnut. But I have lived true to her, he thought. I told her that she was the only girl I could ever love, and so I am an old bachelor still What ' s the matter, Nancy? said the sheriff, as his horse stumbled against a rock which was covered by the snow. Phew! it ' s cold, he remarked, as a blast struck him. He looked up and saw that he had just passed Bald Top, and was now entering the region known as Devil ' s Den. When he came to Chestnut the people advised him not to try to take a man from Devil ' s Den, because three former officers had met death there. But he was not the kind of man to back down on a hard job. Sheriff Griffin was not an ordinary man, and by his keen wits and general abihty he had been able to clean up the hole, although he had had to bring out two fellows dead. His former successes in entering the Den and carrying off his prisoners made him think very little of this particular trip. Consequently he rode on without taking much notice of anything but himself and Nancy. The road now narrowed into a mere trail, which literally hung to the side of the moun- tain. The valley lay almost three hundred feet below, while a huge rock overhung the road. Suddenly he heard the click of a rifle, and then - Hands up! A shaggy man raised himself from behind the rock, being careful to keep the sheriff covered with his rifle all the time. Contrary to his custom the sheriff was compelled to raise his hands and let his Winchester drop to the ground. He was so completely surprised that he could not speak, and he felt that the time had come for him to experience what he had forced on two other unfortunate beings- death. All his past fluttered through his mind in one brief instant, and he formed a mental picture of the people of Chestnut all in consternation because he did not return. Damn you! ejaculated the man behind the gun. You ' ll never take another unlucky man from Devil ' s Den. He leveled his gun at the sheriff ' s head- and then he let it fall. How in the devil did you come to be here? he demanded, and he dropped from behind the rock. Henry Jarvis. don ' t you know me? It ' s damn lucky for you that I recognized you, or you would have spent the rest of your days down there, and he pointed to the valley, hundreds of feet below. I thought you were Sheriff Griffin, he continued. The sheriff was taken aback. He did not know what to think of the man ' s action. He had never seen a man act so queerly before. Then, too, he had called him by his real name — a name which he had not answered to for twenty years now. Then it came to him in a flash. He recognized the low forehead, broad shoulders, and stooped form of his former friend, Dick Harris, who answered perfectly to the description of the man he was hunting. Tom Smith. What in the thunder are you doing here? asked the sheriff, as soon as he had recov- ered from the shock. I am Sheriff Griffin, and 1 came after Tom Smith. You will have to go back with me. Henry, said Dick, as he realized that Tom meant what he said, who was it that had his hands raised while ago? I knew you and could not shoot you. I had your life in my hands, and I spared you. Do you think you are square with me? Probably you did not do your duty, responded the sheriff. 1 have to do mine. he continued. Since we were friends together I have turned over a new leaf. You will have to go with me or kill me. one or the other. Well, responded Dick, very gloomily. 1 have never done any one any good, so if I can save the character of my only friend by giving up. I am willing to do so. Before I go, come down here with me. Something in Dick ' s voice touched the sheriff. Even if he had known that he was going to be trapped he could not have resisted, but he believed that his old friend would treat him right. He threw the reins over Nancy ' s head and started off down the mountain after Dick. They followed the footpath for almost a hundred yards, but the snow made it difficult to find where the path ran. Then Dick turned and went around a huge rock on the mountainside. There the path was so narrow that one could pass only by holding to the rock with both hands. Once across this Dick led the sheriff down into the valley, at the head of which stood a little log cabin, which was nearly hid in the snow. Dick en- tered the cabin and beckoned for the sheriff to do likewise. The cabin had only one room. The cracks had been chinked, and a fire was smouldering on the hearth. A woman was huddled in the corner, holding a young child in her arms. Great God! he uttered; it ' s Nancy. Without another word he turned and went out. The sight of the girl he had always loved, and for whom he had named his horse, was too much for him. Dick followed him out, puzzled at his actions. For her sake! gasped the sheriff. Then he went off up the mountain. Late that afternoon the sheriff rode into Chestnut, and dismounted at the little store m which the postoffice was kept. He asked for a piece of paper, and then tore it in two. On one piece he wrote; 1 hereby give notice that one week from date I resign my office. and then tacked it up on the front door of the store. He wrote something on the other piece of paper, then slipped it into an envelope and dropped in into the box. One week from that day he rode out of Chestnut on Nancy, and the people never knew why Sheriff Griffin resigned. :®iei¥ X: Mf N Gif r 11 ' m i AM:J 1 S : ' ' ' i TEACHERS JOKES Dorsett (standing at the fountain when the Ughts on the campus were turned off): I declare, the moon has gone out.
