The Board ofEtZ71uLetttton AMILIAR TO ALL high school students of Webster Groves is that sign which reads 'LOfhce of the Superintendent and Board of Education , and which this year was moved from its wellfknown location near the entrance of the old building to the now somewhat remote wing of the new building. From this department come the many good things which make the Webster Groves schools eflicient institutions of learning and pleasant and happy resorts of youth. To enumerate all of these benefits would be impossible, so farfreaching are theyg however, among the most tangible that have come to the high school this year are the Electrola, which makes possible the Friday afternoon dancesg the picture projector, which makes class work more interestingg the lecture by Frank Branch Rileyg the opportunity of hearing the St. Louis Symphony Orchestrag the new showers in the Gymnasium. For all of these the high school wishes to express its appreciation. i THE BOARD OF EDUCATION E. H. TENNEY, President MRS. M. P. MCARDLE, VicefPresiderzt G. A. SHEPARDSON, Secretary F. D.

QQ The Student Council President f f ELEANOR CLAGETT VicefPreside11t BERT MILLER Secretary f HARRY JONES The Student Council, which has become an important institution in many schools, was established this year in Webster High. At the beginning of the school year, one person was chosen by each Home Room to voice its opinion, this group comprised the Student Council. Throughout the year, the Council has dealt with matters of interest and importance, the establishing of the point system being the main topic. Through the Home Room and Student Council, the expression of student opinion is given. We hope that the prestige which the council has gained in just one year will increase in the near future.

As we sit thinking again of the High School, dim pictures of our Hrst school days at Webster High come before us. We remember our first class meeting, when we elected Edwin Gillespy, president, Elizabeth Cook, vicefpresident, Fred Schuermann, treasurer, and Phyllis Wall, secretary. Miss Helen Toner, as class adviser, helped us unweave the tangle of firstfyear complications. Like all other classes, we wanted to do something for fun, so we went on a two or threefmile hike into the country. The hike was a big success in numbers, eats , and fun. We won't forget it for a very long time. The next year we got together again and, keeping Miss Helen Toner as adviser, we chose John Gale, president, Herbert English, vicefpresident, and Robert Finkenaur, secretary. By this time some of the members of the class had made themselves better known around school. We had a representative, Katharine Theobald, on the Echo Staff, and many representatives in the athletic field. Elizabeth Cook was well known to Basketball enthusiasts, Alice Widmer, to Baseball fans, Ruth Bailey and Ruth Clawson, to Tennis players, and Richard Edwards to the Rifle Team. Our honor students were Herbert English, Helen Hermann, and Richard Edwards. It was evident that we had progressed. In our Junior year, we were told that great things were expected of us, so we got right down to work. We began by electing Elizabeth Cook, president, Herbert English, treasurer, and Miss Winifred Toner, class adviser. When the athletic season started, Coach Roberts was pleased with the coming stars. Harold Hack, Buddy Sample, and Emmett Senn starred in football, Buddy Sample also starred in basketball. Baseball saw a number of our members. Track claimed ever' athletic Sample, Jim McMillan, and Hartley Comfort, while the Rifle Team made us proud of Richard Edwards. We excelled not only in athletics, but in social gatherings. That Junior Prom! What a fairyland of pleasure was the Gym on that night in May! There were pirates, japanese tumblers, Hawaiian musicians, Spaniards, and a Queen of them ball! There wasn't a person present who did not have a good time or who will admit that it wasn't one of the best, if not the prettiest, Prom given. And now we are Seniors. As the time for leaving draws closer, we hesitate. Such pleasant memories make us feel that perhaps, after all, the Freshmen are lucky. They are just beginning, while we, alas, are ending four glorious years of school life. I At this year's class election, we chose Herbert English, president, Eleanor Clagett, vicefpresidentg john Gale, treasurer, and Eugene Finkenaur, secretary. Miss Mary Howard and Miss Winifred Toner are our advisers. We have members on all the teams. Those who were prominent before, are stars now. The Coaches will remember them forever as boys and girls who played the game fairly and squarely, adding new laurels to Webster's crown. When June comes this year, we will leave the school forever, as students. The memory of our athletes and scholars will be an inspiration for many classes who follow us. Studies have been difficult and tedious, but we have had lots of fun. As we leave, it is our parting wish that other classes will help keep alive the Webster spirit that has always made our school famous. We wish them the best of luck in this and everything. ww SS E22 The junior Class OFFICERS President f f f f GORDON JENKINS ViCC'PT6Sid5Hf f BRUCE KENAMORE Secretaryfffeasurer HELEN HAWKINS HONOR STUDENTS DOROTHY DANIEL RUTH BEDELL VIRGINIA PAULEON HELEN HAWKINS ww ,I .ffQ,,ffQ?v PAGE THIRTY'FOUR :S QR?

For seventeen years he has been a leader and help' er of the students, both on the athletic Held and in the classroom. He is assisted by Mr. Gaines who, by his ethf ciency and loyalty, has Won the respect and friendship of the students. CoAcH ROBERTS CoAcH GAINES The W Chwh u The Club is the athletic honorary society of Webster High. This year the members number tvventyfeight. The Club has voted letters to twenty football men and ten basketball players. It is an annual custom of the Club to give a banquet to which all the high school boys and their fathers are invited. On this occasion the Club provides a speaker, and Coach Roberts awards the letters and numerals. r QVQmv ' Football The Squad TARTING with but four letterfmen this year, Coach Roberts developed his green recruits into such good material, that, as the season advanced, climbing scores showed the result of his training. The three highest scorers were John Greene, with forty' seven pointsg Clarence Sample, with thirtyfsixg and Harvey Miller, with twentyfeight. The 1926 season opened on the East St. Louis field, for the second time in the history of Webster, the team suffered defeat at the hands of East St. Louis. - Courtesy of The GLOBE'DEMOCRAT Hitting the line in the Clayton game Qgskxw, 5?

A In an outfofftown game, played with Male High of Louisville on October 9, Webster drew first blood and was leading at the end of the first quarter, but the second quarter turned the tables, and the game remained in Louisville's favor for the rest of the time.

It was anybody's game from start to finish because of a slippery ball and numerous fumbles, On November 6, Webster gained one of her easiest victories, by blotting out Maple' wood 330. The entire squad had a hand in the slaughter and seemed to enjoy the practice immensely. The following weekfend saw the team in Dayton, Ohio, to play Stivers High School. Our opponents' passing accounted for our 2540 defeat. Although the score gives the impression of an easy victory, such was not the case, for our team made many beautiful plays and was the first to score. This was the Orange and Black's best game of the season in that our players displayed courage, plus football science. The Thanksgiving Day game, which was the deciding one for the championship of the County League, topped the scales with a count of 46fO. It was truly a mud fight with Sample as the star. JONES B.

M, 'www Bttslteth all The Squad ' EBSTER'S showing in basketball for the 1927 season does not compare with last year's in victories. Nevertheless, the games were just as exciting and the same Webster fight prevailed. Webster won neither the County Champion' ship nor the Mississippi Valley Tournament. Both Wellston, the county champions, and U. City defeated us, while Farina eliminated us in the second round of the Washington Tournament. The highfpoint man for the season was Clyde Ferguson. The first game resulted in a victory from Beaumont in a tightly contested battleg the second, in one from Central in a still more exciting contest. ' U. City started our county schedule by walking off with a 3146 victory. The following game was played at Clayton for a 2447 victory. Greene played his last game for Webster that night and showed his usual fight and accuracy. An afterfschool game with Cleveland again spelled defeat for Webster, though in the last quarter, Sample started a rally, which came very near overtaking Cleveland. Then U. City played a return game at Webster and won again, this time by a very close score. is 3 s I MACMILLAN FERGUSON ENGLISH H. MILLER SAMPLE Letter Men - . ......

Le Cercle Francais has the distinction of being the only club in the school with the exception of the Conventus Latinus, that at each meeting presents a program to its members. The prof grams, astonishing in their variety and interest, have included plays, parodies, charades, violin and vocal selections, dances, reports, and addresses given by former members of the club. In addition to the activities within itself, the club has presented a musical program to the student body in assembly. Le Cercle Francais realizes that Whatever success it may have obtained in the increasing of interest in the study of the French language has been made possible by the force of the charming personality and by the interest and endeavors of its adviser, Miss Norris.

Qfsffgt Q35 'Wine Uinwivuersazl Tyrant The Prize Essay written by FRANCES BEAL ES, we say proudly, nthis is a free country. No tyrant oppresses us. We are free. We say what we think, we do what we want to do. But are we free? Do we say what we think? Do we do what we want to do? No, for we are subject to the same cruel tyrant who clutches the people of every country-the vague, indehnable, mysterious they , They pick our vocabulary, they select our friends, utheyn send us to certain schools and certain summer resorts, they point out our new dance steps, they single out the jewels we must wear, they might even choose us to be placed on the shelf of bad reputation, however innocent we may be. But most cruel, most relentless torture of all, they dictate what we must wear, how we must wear it and where we must wear it. 'LThey decree the color of our dress, the arrangef ment of our hair, the length of our skirts, the cut of our shoes, and even the hue of our stockings. They may decide upon the texture of our complexionsg they may wipe the paint off with one sweep or they may pile it on in quantity, they may pluck our eyebrows to thin lines or lavishly apply blackening to give them a bushy appearance, they may leave our lips a delicate, rosy hue, or they may color them with a violent crimson. What they say is quoted by us daily and we dare not ignore it. Perhaps, we privately think Mary is really a sweet little thing, but 'itheyw say, in whispers, that she just won't do. We never quite understand why, nor does anyone else, but they have branded her, and we dare not contradict, lest we, too, be branded. Perhaps we dote on long, lovely curls, but they say our curls must be clipped and plastered close to our head-and we obey. Perhaps we think that sparking is a most expressive slang word but they think that uneckingn is a much better, and are amused if we use any other. Perhaps we adore green velvet, but black taffeta is the vogue, they say, so we immedif ately ignore the green velvet and add a black taffeta to our wardrobe. Perhaps we have a secret passion for the Charleston, but since they say it is passe, we must give it up. No matter what we desire or how much we desire it, it is subjected to the approval of they , For they are allfpowerful and can make or break any person, place, or thing. What pleasures we may have missed because we listened to they ! That resort in the mountains which we would have visited had not they declared it no goodg that play which we would have seen had they not stamped it mediocre, those long flowing locks we so much desire and would have had they not commanded them to be cut. But, alas! they must have their say, and we must listen patiently, every day, every week, every year, for two people cannot get together without starting some' bit of information with and they say-. They have ruled the world for centuries with an indiscriminating hand and under some guise-conventions, fads, or whatever you wish- they will continue to rule through the ages.

There was the usual hectic jumble of mouse' traps, pin cushions, razorfstraps, gewgaws, and- gimcracks strewn like leaves in a windfstorm, from cellar to attic. Everything that Mrs. Jones did not know what to do with she told the movers to put in the little room upstairs , until that little room looked very much like a secondfhand variety shop during a onefday clearing sale. It was here that Mrs. Jones sank exhausted on a moraine of old books, mateless shoes, and what' not. The movers had at last gone. I declare, she said, I'1l never move again! I'm here to stayg you can bet on that! Emma! Oh Emma ! she called. Comin', Ma. Well landsakes, do get a wiggle on you. Go down and pump a bucket of water from the cistern. We've not had any water pumped from it yet. But Ma- l ss No buts, but run along like a good girl. A few minutes later Ma heard a scream, then someone came dashing madly up the stairs. Bump! Bump! Bump! Thirteen bumps Ma counted. My land! That poor girl has fallen down stairs again. I hope she didn't spill the water. Emma slowly picked herself up, bumps and all, and came up stairs a trifle more slowly than before. Well, did you get the water? her mother asked. Nfnfno. I pumped out a pail full, and then an ugly old frog hopped right out from the spout into my bucket! Nonsense! How could frogs ever get in an underground cistern like ours? You'd better go ask your Pa to get me some water. Yes'm. After a few minutes Emma again rushed in. Now, I told you there were frogs in that old cistern, and another one hopped in Pa's water, same as one did in mine! she panted triumphantly. Here's Pa now, and he brought the pail up to show it to you. ' Sure enough there was a frog hopping about in the pail. Well, I declare ! Ma ejaculated. Do take it out of here, and don't ever bring such horrid, dirty, warty old things to me again! Throw it out in the garden. This is a pretty kettle of ish! Of frogs, you mean, Ma, interrupted Emma. Here we are with our cistern full of frogs on the first day, and I am half crazy for a drink, continued her mother. You and Pa had better take a tub and go over next door for some water, and for pity's sake don't get any frogs in that too. GL 3 15 Yes m. CContinued on Page 1175 CJ'D ww .fi2,1fQ I9 2? The Two Women in White The Sophomore Prize Story written by FLORENCE Lswrs T was in the golden twilight of an August evening that I first saw uthe two women in white . I was visiting my uncle in northwestern Iowa, and we were out driving, enjoying the peace and quiet of the green, rolling country. I suddenly became aware of two silent whitefclad figures, clinging to each other, walking by the side of the cement highway with faces turned away from the sharp glare of passing automobiles,-two sorrowful figures of tragedy with bowed heads and dragging footsteps. Cars hurried past them with merry crowds of laughing girls and boys who shot inquisitive glances at the two women so utterly oblivious of every curious onlooker. Who are they? I demanded of my uncle. They are the two spooks, or the two women in white. They have walked here for years. No one knows why. Dame Rumor whispers that the woman's husband died the most shameful of deaths, and his unhappy spirit visits their home every evening. I guess they are afraid to remain in their little cottage at night. Rain or shine, summer or winter, spring or fall, eight o'clock Ends them walking this road. Who are they? What is their dreadful secret? Cannot someone help them? Why do they creep there like two hunted creatures, afraid of every lurking shadow? For weeks these questions haunted me. When I mentioned the spooks to the people of the nearby German village, they merely shrugged their shoulders. Then-at last-one day I stumbled on their history. From an old stooped German woman I learned the true story of the two women in white as I now tell it to you. In the little village of Axel, nestling among the whitefpeaked mountains of picturf esque Germany, there stands a great cathedral. Centuries were spent in its building. As much time was given to the chiseling of one humble stone as to the delicate and intricate sculptures of the beautiful altar. So now it towers there, that great cathedral, a monument to the unending toil and love of thousands. The simple German peasants look up at the sun shining through the stained glass windows with awe on their faces and reverence and humility in their hearts. Many sons and daughters of the village have felt the magic influence, but none have felt it to a greater degree than Dirk Kurnes. Many years ago there lived in Axel two boys and a girl who had been close friends since childhood. The boys, Dirk Kurnes and Wilhelm Bruno, were called the inseparables by the villagers. Yet two friends with more different tastes could never be found. Wilhelm, the only son of a wealthy doctor, was a thoughtful youth and a fine student. He was a lover of everything beautiful, an insatiable bookworm, and a dreamer. Dirk was a happyfgoflucky lad with little interest in serious things. His hair was light and curly and his merry blue eyes twinkled with a keen zest in the joy of living. All the villagers loved him although he was a careless ne'erfdofwell, working haphazardly at one trade and then at another. Lately he had worked more diligently, and Axel gossips insinuf ated that pretty Anna Woertink was the cause. More hapless young men than Dirk were the willing slaves of this same Anna, a winsome lass of eighteen. Wilhelm was another of her captives, and Anna led them all a merry chase, cruel mistress that she was. Two years passed slowly and uneventfully. The old men still sat in the shadow of the cathedral, smoking their long pipes and dozing over their toddy. The women still carried their weeky wash to the edge of the peaceful river, winding lazily away through the green fertile hills. They chattered gaily over the latest news which came to the dull CContinued on Page 1103 PAGE ONE HUNDRED THREE 59 Uttar' School 1891 '1927 Laying of The Cornerstone in 1906 N the September of 1891, in one room of a frame building standing where Bristol School is now, the Webster Groves High School Department was opened. Thirtyfsix years ago, that old eightfroom frame building, called the Webster Groves Public School, was the only educational institution open to the public of Webster Groves. In such a small space, few advantages could be offered the first high school students. All those who wished to take more than the twofyear course offered, were obliged to go to St. Louis, a great distance to travel daily in a horsefdrawn buggy. Miss S. I. Milligan, who had been acting as principal of the grade school and superinf tendent of the enlarged Webster school system, was made the first principal of the high school. In 1891, she had only two teachers to help her. The second principal of the school was Mr. Mark Moody, a graduate of the first high school class in Webster Groves. His successor was Mr. Thurston, who was followed by Mr. Hawkins. Both Mr. Moody and Mr. Hawkins are present residents of Webster Groves. In the first years of 1900, either 1902 or 1903, the high school made use of rooms in the Bristol Building for extra classes. The enrollment had grown from thirteen to seventy' five or eighty pupils. Hallways and store rooms had to be used to accommodate this growing number. ' Three or four years later, second and third floor rooms were used in the old Brennan Building, which was situated on Gore Avenue just north of the Missouri Pacific tracks. This old building is now known as the Webster Repair Shop. In 1906, a real high school was built on Selma Avenue. It consisted of only six rooms, an assembly room, and basement locker rooms. In 1908, there were only five teachers and a principal and about one hundred and ten pupils. In 1913, the two front wings were added to the building. These were a great improvement in every way. The left wing was used as a gymnasium for boys and girls l as ww , .1amf Q ...w 5952? Uttar School 1891 - 1927 Webster High in 1924 and the right wing as an auditorium. The studyfhall and lunchroom were, at that time, in two of the second floor rooms, the lunchfroom being in the present science rooms. With the war came another change. The Armory, built for our home guards, was erected in 1917. A few years later a basement was dug, and the lunchroom was moved from the second floor to its present location. After the war, the Armory was given over to the high school to be known as the Webster High School Gymnasium. The new building, as we now call it, was begun in 1924. In the fall of the next year, a part of this building was ready for use. The heating plant was finished at the same time. This plant provides heat for all parts of the school buildings with the excepf tion of the large gymnasium. Activities have been many and varied since the earliest years. The first clubs were all literary societies. The Papyrus, of which the Scarabs and the Obelisk were sections, was one of the very first clubs. Four other prominent clubs were the Arena, the Athenian, the Delphi, and the Philomathian Society. ln those early years, football, track, and swimming were important sports. The football and the swimming teams brought the first loving cups to the showfcase, which, though much smaller and less crowded, occupied the same place in the hall that Hour case now holds. The hrst yearfbook, the Senior , was edited in 1911, and in the same year the Webster High School Alma Mater was composed. The colors, the Orange and Black, that have been displayed at all the victories and defeats Webster has experienced, were adopted in 1902. Some of the pupils now attending school are the children of early graduates. The most conspicuous thing that has come down to us through the years is the Spirit of Webster High , which is known throughout the county and state. Early graduates still feel that l'their school was the hnest of its kind. May we continue to keep our school the finest. i s s5QQ'TbP t Miafgw 3g 2? w x. , x 2 1 4 I efQs mQ,mQ.,W awp E 2 F I 59 sf sex? ,Q WS ,ix sy.-+'w..i qw QM gsgx ,-'xxx ,f-SX rl S Q X 1 1 E Q-AQ PAGE ONE HUNDRED NINE oagsafwfsgas m afffafm The Annual Staff wishes to acknowledge help given by the following and to express appreciation of their aid: RUSSELL ALT CAROLYN BACHER ALAN BECK RUTH BLAKEMAN MARJORIE BROESEL HELEN BROWN MISS BRUNSON ROBERT BURTON ROBERT BUSH ALAN CALDWELL ROSEMARY CARR OCTAVIA CLEMENT ROBERT COE VIRGINIA LEIGH COOK MARY FRANCES CROSBY DOROTHY DANIEL ALICE FIELD ROBERT FINKENAUR COTTRELL Fox MR.

It was washing day now, and the wives and daughters were gathered on the river banks vigorously scrubbing their white linens. -And so Herr Woertink has left for America.

Why she could have married Wilhelm and lived in the dOctor's grand house at the top of the hill.-Ch the china, and the- Ah, my dear, interpolated one wiser than the rest, you needn't worry over Wilhelm, or Dirk neither. They will be leaving for America soon-you just see, she concluded with a wise shake of her turbaned head. Time hung heavy on the hands of the two friends. It seemed to both that the sunshine of their lives had vanished with the last coquettish flutter of Anna's lace hand' kerchief. It was not long before they were preparing to follow Anna across the vast ocean to the land of freedom. They were young and the world belongs to youth. Why should they spend the rest of their days in stupid Axel? Dirk's poverty worried him. What chance did he have to win Anna when Wilhelm, rich and handsome, was always by his side? Wilhelm's wavy black hair and strong sensitive face had before wrought havoc in the heart Of many an Axel belle. For the first time a vague jealousy crept into Dirk's loyalty to his friend. The night before Dirk and Wilhelm were to start on their long journey, Dirk went to the cathedral for a last visit. He had always loved the stately old church, now empty except for a single blackfrobed 'figure kneeling before a crucifix. Dirk walked quietly through the silent aisles and shadowed recesses. Not a footfall broke the deep stillness. His eyes wandered over the priceless mosaics on the vaulted ceilings and the beautiful statuary in its marble niches. He stopped in front of an ivory cross studded with rare jewels. Of all the treasures of the cathedral, this was prized the most. It had been given, years before, to the villagers of Axel by a noted church prelate. Then Dirk Seemed to hear a small voice say, Take the cross, sell it- in Munich. Then you will be able to Offer Anna something more than a life of toil. What good is it doing here among all these other precious things?

A., opposite Cardinal and Brown Ball Park M23 ess Uksysmia PAGE ONE HUNDRED F r s was CContinuecl from page 1025 ' Ugh! Frog water! she exclaimed to herself. i'Bah! It's bad enough to have to wash our feet in the same water frogs wash their feet in, without drinking it, too. In due time the waterfcarriers returned with their burden, and Ma drank enough for the whole town put together. That evening the water problem was discussed by Ma and Pa jones. Frog legs are all right in their place, was Pa's comment, but not in my soup. 'Tll bet there's at least a hundred of them, said Ma. How'll we get rid of them? as If we can't move the frogs, we might try moving ourselves. L'Move your catfish! If you'd been the one that had done all the workymoving, you'd never mention that word again. No sirree! It'd take more'n a team of elephants to move me, much less a couple of meazly old frogs! Well, he replied, LT11 drink the water if you will. It's filtered at least. Filtered, your grandma! You mean filthy! No sirree! You'll not catch me drinking after the frogs, not on your life! We'll have to buy water somewhere, then, I guess. There's nothing else left to do but that. And so the problem was decided. Weeks and weeks flew-and also money. Five dollars, ten dollars, fifteen, all for water. How the Joneses hated the mere mention of frogs! Often Ma could be heard softly humming that old song, You Never Miss the Water Till the Well Runs Dry. Every day, however, Pa pumped a pail of water in the hope that he would eventually arrive at the end of this exasperatingly continuous family of frogs, but every time there never failed to appear a frog just like the one before it. Pa figured that there ought to be about twenty or thirty in the garden by now, for each time he threw the frog out in the very same place a little way off. Each time it hopped about in the garden for a little while and then disappeared. Pa decided the frogs went over to see the neighbors, but the neighbors said they had never noticed any around. Accordingly he decided to watch the next one he turned out from the cistern. That next one, just like all the precedents, hopped about for quite a while, enjoying itself, it seemed. Pa's patience was about exhausted trying to keep up with it. The frog got closer and closer to the pump, and, to Pa's great surprise, hopped right up into the spout, where it sat sticking its shiny little head saucily out while it made itself cozily at home. 'LOh ho! So that's your game, is it! Who would ever have thought of it? Papa frog, mamma frog, and all the little baby frogs all in one! And an expensive one at that- twenty dollars! Whewee! Well, I'm on to your trick now, toady, and you c:an't fool me any more. But Pa wanted to be certain, so he pumped a little. The frog came out once more. He pumped once more, but no frog. Again he pumped, with the same result. Again and yet again he pumped, but still no frog. Evidently, Mr. Toad had taken a fancy to the pump spout for a cool, comfortable home, and, after being ousted, had each time hopped right back up again. Ma was knitting by the open window. On hearing Pa call, she glanced out. Say Ma, here's your hundred frogs, he hollered, holding up the one squirming, scared little toad by its leftfhind leg. We .., ...Is W ISSEQ? FROM A FRIEND J. B.

But in the end he turned to flee with the beautiful little cross in his hands. just then a stern voice at his elbow asked in a voice of withering scorn, What are you doing, Dirk? Dirk turned. The white face and angry eyes of Father Aymer, the village priest, confronted him. Dirk was conscious of a burning sense of shame and guilt, and unthinkingly he gave the man at his side a swift blow. In his palatial home, Wilhem anxiously paced the floor. At last, unable to bear the suspense longer Cfor Dirk had been gone hoursj, Wilhelm started for the cathedral. A wild March wind moaned weirdly, cruelly lashing Wilhelm's cold forehead. Rain was beginning to fall in the large, frenzied drops that foretell a tempest. The streets were deserted, here and there a feeble light from some dreary hut wavered through the gloom. Wilhelm involuntarily shivered. An obscure, haunting sense of fear over' whelmed him. Something had happened. Dirk-? An icy hand clutched his heart with a viseflike grip. A When he entered the quiet church a solitary taper was slowly burning before an image of the Virgin. Below was the inert form of a man. Could Dirk-? No, no, good, kindhearted Dirk could never do such a thing. He, Wilhelm, was basely accusing his friend of a crime so-but what was that?-Dirk's handkerchief, with his initials em' broidered in the corner. Wilhelm placed the fateful handkerchief in his pocket and with bent head and anguished eyes went out of the cathedral-all his joy had vanished. Wilhelm remained a year in Axel, but after the death of his father, he sailed for America. At Orange City, Iowa, where Anna and her parents lived, he found Dirk and Anna engaged to be married. There could never again be friendship between Dirk and Wilhelm. The breach was impassible. Wilhelm knew that Anna had always loved CContinued on page 134D ' ww mQ PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY'0NE is Q 22' QM Port- Graduates 192 Qualzry We are entering our forty-fifth year of the study and selection of finest quality Diamonds, Jewelry, Watches, Silverware, Clocks, etc. HESS 8C CULBERTSON JEWELRY CO. 9th and Olive Sts.

CContinued from page 1213 Dirk, and to tell her of his crime would make her life wretched, so he vowed to himself that he would never tell. After Anna's marriage, Wilhelm, restless and unhappy in this new land of whose customs and ways of living he knew nothing, entered the church in the old endeavor to find happiness. Thus twenty years passed. With their flight, many changes came to Orange City. Other stolid Germans migrated to the little village, business thrivedg the people prospered, joy beamed from the honest faces of the thrifty Germans. Wilhelm Brune, now known as Father Wilhelm, was loved by them all. A friend of the rich and poor alike, kind, impartial, cheerful, and happy, Wilhelm had found peace in the service of others. The only man in the village who sullenly failed to respond to his merry greeting was Dirk Kurnes. The people wondered-but said nothing. Time had been kind to Wilhelm. Indeed, there were touches of gray in his black hair, and his face had aged with the tales of sorrow poured into his sympathetic ear, but his undefinable air of youth belied his weary face and slightly stooped shoulders. On the other hand, Time, so kind to some, is cruel to others. Dirk's blue eyes were cold and hard, his voice harsh and unnaturalg lines around his mouth told the sad tale of years spent in dissolute living. At the village tavern, he was hailed by the spend' thrifts and lazy louts of the town as their boon companion. When he came home late at night, he was bitter and cruel to his wife. The crime of twenty years ago was beginning to prey upon his conscience, so long dormant. Sorrow and disillusionment struggled with the contentment of long ago in Anna's still beautiful face. Dirk's paltry wages were soon squandered, and Anna was forced CContinued on page 1355 QAEQQN QQMQNQS P mwQwQQmQ PAGE ONE HUNDRED THIRTYVFOUR 55-gaaa Geller,Ward Sc l-lasner Hardware Co. looks should eat this salt It prevents the formation phone, Main 3500 of G0ite1 JuSt M0lft0IfS salt with Iodine added It tastes no different ionro mmm ' 4l4 North Fourth Street A 9 , , MORTONS l H k: S , S , ld lk at to sie: sometahling esllxsellllwu you 1 6 Lena : wYeah.H Vfhen if Tains-it pours Q Harold: You just drop these beans Write fm Booklet in water and watch them. MORTON SALT COMPANY 820 Gratiot Street St. Louis, Mo. CContinued from page 1345 to toil early and late in a vain endeavor to give her little daughter, Mary, the comforts in which she delighted. Dirk was daily reminded of the fact that his old friend, Wilhelni Brune, was an honest, good man. Undoubtedly , he thought bitterly, Anna would have been much happier with Wilhelm. My daughter, to think that she will have the shadow of my terrible deed upon her innocent shoulders! Over and over again he would think thoughts like this, until he would almost go mad. As weeks passed these times became more frequent. He went oftener to the tavern and was harsher than ever to his wife. One night Dirk came home very quietly. Mary was asleep in her little crib beside the kitchen fire, and sadfeyed Anna was silently mending. With a curt nod to his wife, he climbed the stairs and entered his room. Throwing himself into the only easy chair the room offered, he morbidly lived over again that tragic night at Axel. The beautiful cathedral towered before his frightened eyes like a menacing spirit of evil. All the weary night, Dirk sat there with his head in his hands remorsefully brooding-brooding- A strange fear made Anna take her little girl away from their home as soon as the sun sank behind the purple hills in the west. Believing that Dirk's restless spirit wandered through the house during the hours he passed his lonely vigil, Anna was afraid to remain there. And so the years have rolled on. Mary is a young woman now. She and her mother live apart from the village in their little cottage-apart in spirit more than in reality, for the indelible mark of a deep and bitter tragedy has been placed on these two. Some of the town fathers have meant to ask them to stay in their homes at night, but no one has taken this responsibility upon himself. So there where the automobiles pass and the crowd surges by, up and down the road go the two women in white . lii.a.Q,..,.f.f:fsffW mek..-..i52.f....... sw...
