W The Real Competition By Elizabeth Whitney,- Margaret Lawrence, E .H. S. Second Prize Short Story HO would take Helen to the cadet dance the night after the Competitive Drill? This was the question in the minds of Dick Nolan and Ken Wilson as they drilled their best every Monday and Thursday after school. Who wouldn't do his best when Helen Blanford had consented to go with the one whose company came out the higher in the Competitive Drill? Once Ken and Dick had been the closest of friends, but since they had both met Helen, they were seldom seen together. Ken was captain of Company A, Dick of C, and Bob Hale, their bitterest enemy, of B, and each thought his company the best. Finally the night before the drill came and every cadet's heart was hopeful as to how the following day would result. Dick was sitting on one end of the swing, and Ken on the other while Helen sat between. After a moment's silence Ken said, Well, Helen, I hope you haven't forgotten your promise? Very sweetly Helen answered, Of course I haven't boys, I can hardly wait until tomorrow night. While she was saying this Dick and Ken just sat and glared at each other with murder in their hearts. For the rest of the time that they stayed there, they argued, and neither of them noticed that Helen had slipped away. When they realized it, they hurried to the screen door and there they saw a note. They opened it and it read, I have gone to bed. Good luck to both of you. So departing in opposite directions they returned to their homes with hearts full of hope. The next day couldn't have been a more per- fect one for the occasion, and after Ken's and Dick's companies had drilled, it was a question which had done the better. As the companies assembled on the field with the band playing the High School Cadet March, every head was turned towards the Adjutant who would bring in the news. After a five minute's pause in the middle of the field, the Adjutant turned. Towards Ken's and Dick's companies he came. In Dick's mind he was saying, She'll go with meg in Ken's, She's mine for the dance. On and on came the Adjutant until finally he stop- ped in front of a group. One in the group turned and came straight for Companies A and C, but he went right between them and stopped before Comp-any B. It was all over, and neither had won. Well, Helen would appreciate the fact that he had done his best, so each reasoned in his head and hurried away to call her up, and find out which was to be the lucky one. Each was told that she had gone to the Cadet dance at the high school, so each thought she had gone with the other. Quickly they both dressed and went over to the dance. At the entrance they bumped into each other and for a minute neither could say a word. Then Ken breath- lessly asked, Where's Helen? Dick answered, I thought she was with you! At once they went in together and hunted for her everywhere. As a last resort they hurried into the garden ad- joining the armory. Then they heard a famil- iar voice, so they stopped and listened. One voice said, Yes, and they sure did fall for my line. Each of them thought I liked him, but I was just stringing them along to make you jealous. They recognized this voice as Helen's and when they looked over the hedge they saw their old enemy, Bob Hale, the captain of the winning company. Ken turned to Dick as they walked away and very seriously he said, Say, Dick, we have been a couple of fools, and I'1l never trust another girl as long as I live. Then Dick replied, That goes for me. too. What do you say we shake on it and be pals again? THE MUTUAL INSURANCE AGENCY 1301 H STREET WASHINGTON. D. C.
