A PROPHECY VYhere's Catherine Eaton? It-I was going to say ain't, but I remembered a balling out a schoolniate of mine got once for, saying that- It isn't natural to see you without her. . Oh, said Kazy, she moved VVest. Out in Minnesota, somewhere near Anna Olson, on a large wheat farm. lVe had ,a little tiff before she left, so she won't write to me. Consequently I clon't know a thing about her except -and then Kazy told me more about Miss Eaton than I know about my best friend. As we were walking up the stairs to the hall above the orchestra began to play the processional. The Seniors were coming up the stairs behind us. The seats were all full on both sides of us, so Miss Rogers and I led the Senior class down the center aisle. Uur only escape was through the small door on the side ofthe platform. TVe went in. It was very hot in the little room and besides the room was occupied. Corn- well, the soloist, Turner of the School Committee and Decker, who used to lead the devotional part of the exercses, were sitting there studying their notes, I guess. In fact I'm sure they were, for they re- ferred to them continuously during the ex- ercise, at least Decker did. Spurgeon thinks that some ministers would make good martyrs they are so dry they would burn well. I heard it said that Decker was so dry that he even absorbed the per- spiration of his audience. I didn't hear him myself. I was so hot that instead of staying upstairs, I went down into the boys' gym and took a shower bath. I didn't see Podgy graduate at all. I could have stayed under that shower all night, but when I heard the clapping I knew that the longest- part of the graduation was over. So when the grand finale began, I was just as cool and slick as could be, standing in the door, watching the vari- ous types that passed. I really pitied some of them, their wilted collars and bored ex- pressions. There were a great many that came in autos and one person in an aeroplane, a girl, or rather a woman. I was standing near Edith Daniell, who was talking to Mildred Neil. lYho's that with the funny looking rig getting into the aeroplane ? I asked her. Miss Edith gave the person a bored sidewise look and gave me what I call the Carmen shrug. Search nie, she said. So I stepped over to where IXIrs. fused to be KIcQueenl and Elsie Irwin were talking together. XYho's the bird woman F I asked them. It is Miss Leger, they whispered. She does that just to show off. Ever since school she's been doing reckless stunts. Not for the movies, either, but just to attract attention. I thanked them for their answers and went nearer the machine. It was a very modern type and I saw that it had a XVare automatic ecjuilibrator, I was wondering if the inventor of this device was Robert IVare. I think now that it was. I have heard him invent pronunciations of words in English and he was handy in physics. I am strongly of the opinion that it was the child of his brain. I slipped under a stay closely at the engine. to look more Look out, shrieked Alice Manning, who happened to be at the wheel of a speedy roadster near- by. TVith a terrible roar the blame thing started, knocking me tlat on my back in the school yard. Fortunately there were very few remaining who saw my discont- hture. I was just dirty, not hurt. Now my interest in the aeroplane was just an excuse to wait around there. The truth is, I wanted to take a certain some- one home. I won't say who, but I guess during my investigation and fall that someone got past me. However, I couldnt let a little thing like that bother me, so I went inside the building. The janitor, or
