THE PIN NINE ORIGINAL TRUSTEES History of Trustees URING THE SUMMER of 1911, the four Baptist Churches of Hattiesburg decided to found a college for women where the formation of Christian character should be the chief aim. In the furtherance of this design nine men were selected from the membership of these churches, and were instructed to formulate and carry out plans looking to the opening of the College in September. How these men accepted this commission and through many difficulties and troubles carried it out; how they in great faith refused to accept defeat which came in many guises; how the College was carried on the first session until the State Baptist Convention at Gulf port accepted it; all these things are matters of common knowledge and need not be detailed here. But it should be said that the names of these nine men should go down in Baptist history along with the missionaries, the secretaries, and the other religious pioneers whose self-sacrifice has made possible the rapid advance and development of our denomination. ' Dr. T. E. Ross, Chairman of the Board, is Manager of the Hattiesburg Hospital and Chief Surgeon of the Gulf Ship Island Railroad and the Mississippi Central Railroad. One of the most prominent physicians and surgeons of the South, he is a deacon of the First Church and a leader in all good works. Unlike some prominent men. Dr. Ross is extremely modest, and no one would learn from him that the new Administration Building is really a monument to his untiring efforts. 3, Hon. J. E. Davis, Secretary of the Board, is one of the leading lawyers of Hattiesburg. e is a deacon in the Fifth Avenue Church, and one of the mainstays of that splendid church. His legal knowledge and ready consecration of time and talents have been of untold help in removing the many difficulties that assail the first years of a great institution. ■ Ellis Hickman, Manager of the Hawkins Hardware Company, and member of Main Street Church, is the efficient Treasurer of the Board. Mr. Hickman is prominent among those young business men who have built Hattiesburg into the fourth city of Mississippi, and have made it a synonym for pluck and business enterprise. He never fails when called on in the name of the Woman ' s College. O ' M. P. L. Love is one of the leading travelling men of the South, and the Superin- tendent of one of the greatest Sunday Schools in the State. He is the Moderator of the Lebanon Association, a member of the State Laymen ' s Executive Committee, the Manager of the South Mississippi Baptist Encampment, and a deacon in the Main Street Church. He is also a graduate of Mississippi College and a recognized leader in all denominational work. 3 • W. L. Pack is another prominent business man and Sunday School Superintendent. In every day life he is a member of the Merchants ' Grocery Company, the leading wholesale grocery firm in South Mississippi. Otherwise he is the Superintendent of the Sunday School as well as choir leader of the First Church. Mr. Pack is a Trustee whose faith has never faltered, but has foreseen great things for the Woman ' s College. 2, , Abner Polk is one of the largest dealers in horses and mules in this section. Perhaps one reason for this success is his steadfast refusal to do any livery business on Sunday. He is one of the most liberal supporters of the First Church and is generally known as the biggest hearted man in Hattiesburg. No man is readier to give his time, his prayers, and his money to the Woman ' s College. ( 9 ■ Hon. S. E. Travis is another of the great-hearted deacons of the First Church. He is regarded as among the first lawyers of the State, holding, among other important positions of trust, the office of Counsel for the Hattiesburg Traction Company, and also for the Mississippi Central Railroad. His duties are never so arduous, however, as to make him place the interests of the Woman ' s College second in any respect. . Rev. A. L. O ' Briant has been for eight years pastor of the Immanuel Church which is right across the street from the College. He was one of the first men to see the great opportunity here for the Baptists, and his tongue and pen were mighty factors in convincing others of this fact. He has had a great part in the religious development of South Mississippi, having held meetings in every part of the country. He is one of the most active and enthusiastic of our ministers. 4 . Rev. E. D. Solomon was for years pastor of the Columbia Street Church, which, uhder his leadership, has recently completed the Main Street Church, one of the most convenient and elegant church homes in the denomination. His voice was among the first to be raised calling on the Baptists of the State to build a great college for women at Hattiesburg. No difficulties have ever caused his faith in the success of the College to falter, and from the time of the famous State Convention at Gulfport to the present day, he has been one of its most ardent advocates and supporters. How could a college fail with such men as these for sponsors? Each one is a leader in his profession; each one is full of good works; each one is a man of prayer and stands close to God. The College, the Denomination, and the State will never forget them. J. L. Johnson, Jr. f THE PINE BU THE PINE BU. PRESIDENT J. L. JOHNSON, JR., M. A. . . .

MAURY HUNT J A Parody On The Bells ' Hear the ringing of the bells, College bells! What a lot of Higher Culture their melody foretells; How they ring and ring and ring, On the clear September mom — Tb° parents ' hearts are heavy , . While the girii are getuing ready, And their pocket-books are all forlorn ; And the needles keeping time. In a sort of Runic rhyme, To their wild expectations, That ' s aroused by the ringing bells, bells, bells, bells, bells. By the ringing of the many college bells. Hear the ringing of the bells. Train bells ! Many hearts begin to swell at the ringing of these bells. How they clang and clash and roar ! _ What a sorrow they outpour On those standing near all in tears ! And now, her glances rest On the man that she loves best, . and has for years. And her heart it feels like lead. And her last good-byes are said To the ringing of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells. To the ringing cf the locomotive bells. Hear now the rising bells, Brazen bells ! How many pleasant dreams their ringing dispels ! In the early hours of mom. Hosts of girls rise all forlorn. Thus awakened at the dawn. They cri - ly ' ■ ' vn, id yawn, and yawn. But the golden time doth fly. And no longer can they lie. How much hustle, how much bustle. Many scrambles, many tussles, Are inspired by the ringing of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells. By the ringing of the brazen rising bells. Hear the tolling of the bells, Study bells! What a lot of study their ringing compels ! From our frolics in the hall. How we hurry, one and all. As we recognize the menace of their tone! Now every sound that floats From out the girls ' throats. Is a groan! How the minutes now do drag! And our zeal so soon, doth flag! Soon our minds begin to stray. And our thoughts are far away From the ringing of the bells, beUs, bells, bells, bells. From the ringing of those awful study bells ! .

CLASS POET Class History On a day so bright and sunny, After plodding, tired and dusty, From as many homes and hamlets Of various note and import, While the leaves were turning golden. Joyously there came a tripping And some voices, bright and happy. Floated in upon the breeze. Sic the seniors, some one shouted, Coming in two days before — They are seven, and no more. Ah ! distinctly we remember, It was in grand old September. We came in with all the others. And in vain we tried to learn them So that we might tide them over Those first days of gloom and sorrow. For those timid little maidens Shed more tears than could be counted. They are weeping now, no more. Soon we launched into our workshop. No more time for tears had we; But we tried to cheer our comrades. And ourselves, a tiny bit, Sometimes Seniors, though you doubt it, Long for home and mother, too. And those lessons, — they were furious ! How we studied, wrestled, fought, ' Twas a battle, nothing more. Presently our tasks grew lighter. Or our brains grew brighter, — one. TJhere was time for jokes and pranks. And sometimes a little lark. But the fact is — please don ' t Whisper to Mrs. Batson — None of us have greatly suffered From over-exercise of brain. At least not in connection with, or even In the direction of school-work, you know. Ask our little brown-eyed lassie What makes Ufe worth the living; Ask her if she knows the meaning Of those numerous pots of flowers And the countless other things That bring out those dimples plainly Makes her love ' most everybody; Makes her even love her music; Does it make her love Psychology? Whispers lassie, very low, Deliver me forevermore! . .THE PINE BURR Oh, the days of nineteen-f if teen ! They were full and running o ' er There were ball-games, lectures, meetings. Everything to make life pleasant. We ' most forgot our work was heavy. So much else had we to do. And at last we approached commencement. Just a few more weeks and days; Soon should come the days of parting; Soon our school-days would be o ' er. O ' er p ' raps, forevermore. Soon we seven will be severed; We will tread these halls no more. We ' ve been happy for a season; We have had our trials and troubles; Sometimes the load ' s seemed very heavy, But we ' ve tried to help each other, As together we have climbed. True, there ' ve been mistakes and blunders. But those silly little trifles Will be remembered never more. At the end of four long years, Are these sheepskins all we ' ve got? Shame upon the one who says it. Let him keep forever silent; We have treasures of far more value Than all the gold of the universe; We have experience greater, richer. Than could be bought for any price. Have we wisdom? At times we doubt it. For when so great problems come We know less than e ' er before. Are we ready for the conflict? Can we stand beside our captain? Almost we shudder at the sight ' Of the hosts of undertakings That we see before us spread; We are weak, the work is mighty. What ' s our motto? Win or die! Can we do it? Will we do it? With His help we ' ll win or die. Be our portion great or little. We ' ll be busy everymore! Farewell, comrades, teachers, Alma Mater, ' Spite of all our faults we love you. Though we ' ve been so very stupid We have learned one lesson well. As we trudge Life ' s thorny pathway, Won ' t you still claim us your own? There are lessons yet to learn. There are depths as yet unknown; If you ' ll love us, if you ' ll watch us, Life ' s great task will not be hard, We will falter nevermore. Class Historian.

These noted Freshmen are now Juniors, with only one more year ahead of them. All the way through, though, there were a few intimidating defeats, there were glorious victories in great number. The first year, our freshness and greenness was alarming; we felt that the end and victory was a thing not to be attained by such an ignorant bunch. Some fell out in the struggle, but fresh recruits were coming in all the time. In the Sophomore year, several new girls were enlisted. This was a glorious year, the battle gro unds were higher than the poor, insignificant Freshmen who were going through the same trials that we had been through the year before. But even for all that, our name certainly suited us, Wise Fools. The Junior year, oh! what difficulties. As important as we are, the wise, mysterious Seniors look down on us with contempt and pity, but as our year is closing, we look back over it with pride and say: The hardest battles fought and won are the most celebrated. Thus you have the history of one of the most promising classes in the records of the Woman ' s College. Through thick and thin we always remain true to our motto: Roothogordie. But now our tasks are smoothly done: We can fly, or we can run Swiftly into Seniordom. Historian ' 16.

We lay aside now our childhood and with much felicity and pride We take up the armor of Seniordom Which to us is the greatest prize. Class Poet.

Janie — I am very quiet, and precise, and also bring up perfect lessons. LuDA — My winning smile has caused me to be very popular among the girls and the faculty. Ruth — By George, girls! I have at last solved the problem of my failure on Chemistry — A. M. letters. Gettie — Oh, Ruth, our palms must be similar, for she said I had ' dodged ' Church and Sunday School many times to write to A. M. Bes s — Pshaw! I haven ' t any faith in her. She says that I have tried to imitate the Juniors during the past session. Girls — Who would condescend to? Edna — As usual, I was so nervous ' till she could tell me nothing of interest. She did say I was very much interested in Latin. Phronie — I have been especially fond of the Baracas, and desired so much to be Mac ' s bride. Nora — She said that a great burden of existence to me was studying, but the greatest one was reciting. Cammie — My tragedy is over. All of my love affairs have ended and I have decided to study. Since I am very bright, I may accomplish a great deal yet. Dora — I am very serious, studious, and dignified. I am especially talented in Chemistry. Bertha — She says I have attained my greatest height during this session. Girls — How marvelous! CoRRiE — I have won my fame by playing tennis and volley ball with Mr. Johnson. Sarah — She brought fond memories to me of the wonderfully sweet sensation that invaded my soul when Mr Johnson read me Robert ' s telegram of: ' Dear Sarah: I am leaving Boston tonight. Yearning to see you. I love you. ' Dolores — She says I like to help in religious work, especially when they send me to Meridian and I meet such a handsome man as Mr. Latimer. Juanita — I positively do not believe in palmistry. I am perfectly furious over the things she told me. She said that I was extremely avaricious and I ' m sure I ' m not, for only yesterday I insisted on paying Miss Ervin ' s car fare to town and through mistake dropped in six cents. To my sorrow I had to walk home. Myrta — She announced to me that I had been the most interesting bride in presenting the wedding of the Hermenians, very desirous of having everything carried on in the way it should be without my assistance. Tera — She informed me that I acquired fame by my story-writing, and since I issued my last story entitled, ' The Lost Fortune, ' I had been very popular among all. Though the pupils are sometimes envious of my good grades, I am liked by all of them. Lettie — I wasn ' t disappointed. She said I spend my leisure time in think- ing of the heartless man that had gotte . married before he had even asked me for his diamond. Lela — What do you suppose she told me?

Of course we had never been out of sight of our mother ' s apron strings before, and everything looked strange to us. When the stately Seniors, precise Juniors, yea, even the condescending Sophomores, cast their pitying glances on us, is it any wonder that our grief and home-sickness gave way to tears? How we felt our insignificance! But before we had been here very long the beloved faculty and student body made us feel welcome and all homesickness wore off. Our good pastor. Rev. A. L. O ' Briant, gave us a warm welcome and offered his and his wife ' s sympathetic shoulder, — or his cane-patch, — for all our tears. Soon all bashfulness wore off, and we were ready for good work. On Wednesday, October 16, 1914, we had our class organized and elected officers. We were many in number but one in spirit. On October 26, we went to the State Fair to admire and be admired. On December 23, we finished up our first term examinations and bade a joyous farewell to sch Sol-mates — homeward bound ! On January 6, 1915, we came back to school to begin the new year ' s work, each resolving to do her very best in play as well as work. Tennis, basketball, and volley, — all, each had their attractions, — and the walking squad, too. How we Freshmen envy those haughty and important Seniors their beaux! How we long for the day when we, the timid, shrinking Freshmen, as Seniors, lofty and proud, shall have our privileges, and chaperone a squad of green Fresh- men up-town ! This is a triumph wished for by many, but realized by few. Now in the spring-time we begin to work hard on the home-stretch, hoping to leave here in May, laden with laurels — Sophomores to be !

Every member is interested in the history 1 of the Class, and with Ruth Mitchell as President you may guess that no duties are left undone. With true student spirit under our banner of green and white (our class colors) we expect to anchor at a port of safety at the close of the year. When the Freshies look back upon us, it is with a stoop, seemingly, and they frown as if they were looking upon relics of the Old Stone Age. But little do we care, for when we arrive at their plane, we expect to have more of the rough edges off than they have. How future generations, when looking on the walls of fame, may see written in glowing letters the names of some of our aspiring class- mates, as artists, readers, musicians, and in numerous other duties, and, perhaps, some of them will be queens of homes. For our dear little President, we can ' t conceive of her being any- thing but an old maid musician, as she continually plays the Maiden ' s Prayer. We see our Vice-President with her auburn hair and rosy cheeks as she stands on the stage of fame in Green County, and lets her melodious voice roll forth to an audience of one. We plan for Si Bertha a great future, where she is monarch of all she surveys, somewhere in the Land of the Pines. It seems as if our Class has been blessed with red-headed officers, as our Secretary and Treasurer is another little red-headed girl. She is one among the many that is interested in the training of the little folks. She is one of the twins, but we are sure that she possesses the good nature of the two. Our historian seems to be quite timid here among us, but she must have been brave one time, for she wears the love of some man ' s heart upon her finger in the shape of a ring. We can readily see our Poet give a sigh as her many lovers come and go for we know Mae by this little line, Come thou, Mirth, and bring with thee. Jest and joyful jollity. For me, some of the girls prophesy an old maid ' s life, and as they are great prophets, I suppose I will sit in a corner and hear the nations praising me afar off. As we have hardly begun to take shape yet, it is not easy to determine the trend of all my Class, but for those not mentioned I have unspeakable visions. I ' m sure they will not fall short of some high mark, for with us they believe in our motto : The class worth while Is the class that can smile, When everything goes dead wrong. THE PINE BU.

Johnson, Jr. A Tribute Maidens, will you kindly listen While I speak to you of One Whom to know, you ' ll love as truly As the flowers love the sun? Yes, I know it is the custom That we save our flowers rare. And to scatter them profusely. On the graves of those so dear. And so oft our love for others Never lets itself be known, ' Till the time is past forever, — When the one we loved is gone. , . . THE PINE BURR . . But why waste the subtle fragrance Of the flowers rich and rare; And why keep our words unspoken ' Till no help they e ' er can bear? There is one among you, maidens, Dearer far than any flower; Who can help you make life sweeter Every day and every hour. She is with you daily, hourly, Gently moving in your midst; Speaking here a word of kindness. Seeking whom she may assist. Only one brief year I knew her With her bright and cheery smile; But I ' ll always be so thankful That I knew her for awhile. Saw her many deeds of kindness, Heard her accents soft and low; And her voice would always thrill me When to Y. W. A. we ' d go. I can almost hear her saying. As she stood before us there; Girls, the Father always hears us When we come to Him in prayer. But He knoweth every thought, girls. For He looks within the heart. How those words, though softly spoken. Oftentimes like probes would dart! Ah, so oft our thoughts are dwelling On some vain or sinful thing, That we fain would keep from others — If we could, from Christ, our King! Then, in accents, sweet and earnest. She would pray that we might live Always only for the Master, And ourselves in service give. So I feel, that having known her, Life is brighter, sweeter, far; For her life gives light to others Like the rays from some bright star. THE PINE N OUR CHRISTIAN WORK, here, our chief business is not to teach, but to show, — to show girls an example of the power of Christ in the life. We want to prove to girls that this life can be lived by g ' rls ; and by the purity, the simplicity, the sympathy, and crowning love in our own lives, to convince them that we have something which is worth their while to seek. School girls have a great deal of energy and life, which when properly directed often flows easily into right channels. To this end, there has been conducted for them this session more than twenty-five mission study classes. Each of these classes has from six to ten members, and has a conscientious leader who is herself a student. The twilight prayer-meetings in both dormitories each evening prove an uplift to the girls and a development for the leaders who are volunteers for this service. In the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary, we study our different Mission fields and the various departments of our organized work. With our money, we contribute to the support of the special objects that have been given over to the young women, and engage as much as possible in Personal Service, — the doing for others for Jesus ' sake. We earnestly desire to create within these walls and upon this campus such an atmosphere as will impress even the most careless with the things that are worth while, and plant the right purpose into the heart of every student. God has His best things for the few Who dare to stand the test; He has a second choice for those Who will not have His best. . THE PINE THE PINE BU.

THE PINE BU OUR BOTANICAL GARDEN THE PINE BURR The Lost Fortune ' ACK SELZER sat in his study, feet crossed and arms folded, gazing steadfastly into the flame of the fast dying fire. This contemplative position was a very unusual one for this active, good natured young doctor, who had spent the last three months in Nortonville among his patients, curing either their physical pains with his medical remedies, or their mental wounds with his genial countenance and vast store of good humor. Little wonder then that Culprit his greatest comrade lay at his side staring uneasily into his Master ' s face and wondering at his new mood. He understood that he must be quiet and keep undemon- strative of his affections when his master was busy with something more important than himself, but he was ever watchful for his play- time, and now as he saw Jack move and look toward him he leaped with a joyous bound upon him. Well, Culprit, old fellow, you won ' t forsake your master will you? These words were the outcome of Jack ' s lengthy meditations and showed their melancholy nature. To explain their cause we must take a short glance at Jack ' s previous life. His father and mother died many years before, leaving Jack at an early age in the care of an elderly uncle who had been with them several years and was the nearest relative. Three months before this his uncle had died leaving Jack at twenty, alone in the world. The Selzers were an aristocratic family and traced their lineage for many centuries, back to the English royalty. They had once been very wealthy but with each generation their fortune had decreased. Jack ' s Uncle had also been a doctor and had done a great deal for Nortonville. He had established the Health Department and had promised to build a large hospital. He had planned it all and had everything arranged when his sudden death occurred. At this time Jack was at College just finishing his course. He had been away several years studying for his profession, consequently, when called home he knew nothing of his uncle ' s plans, papers nor money matters. He found in the big house only the housekeeper, a maid, and Ozzie, the Indian half-breed, whom his uncle had had as his man-of-all work for two or three years. After the burial Jack began to look after his affairs. He went to the little safe where he remembered seeing his uncle keep all his papers and looked into it, finding a large tin box. Upon opening this he found on top a letter addressed to himself. This is what it contained : My dear Nephew Jack: In this box you will find the remnant of our fortune, which amounts to very little. I am sorry that you will be disappointed THE PINE BURR but thought it best to shield you from the knowledge till you finished at the best of schools. I knew you would insist upon starting your career before obtaining your degree, and this I didn ' t want you to do. Do not sell the house, unless necessary, for the Selzers have owned it so long. May God bless you my boy. Affectionately, Uncle Bob. The remaining contents consisted of a few worthless papers, trinkets, and about $1,000.00. Jack was somewhat disappointed, but determined to take up his work right away in Nortonville. A few weeks later the health board came to him asking for the hospital plans and fund. He was a little embarrassed at first, remembering that nothing of the kind had been among the papers which he had found. He told them of the box and its contents and that his Uncle had probably intended borrowing the sum, or waiting until later to build the hospital. Of course they knew differently and could he have heard their low expressions of I never liked that boy ' s too- friendly manner , or you can ' t trust a young, ambitious fellow like that and similar expressions, he would have understood their later treatment of him. He had noticed lately a coldness in the greetings of his friends. He had at first attributed it to his imagination, but the coldness grew and, as he could find no explanation for it, life became almost miserable. For to Jack Selzer, life without friends was life without happiness. This, then, was the cause of his unhappy reflections tonight. He had been reviewing the past few weeks beginning with so many friends to end with the loss of them all. Suddenly an idea struck him, and removing his hand from the dog ' s head he jumped up, addressing him thus: By Jove! Culprit, I believe I ' ve solved it. Those health officers think that I myself have Uncle Bob ' s money and that I wrote that letter myself as a fake. Of course they couldn ' t do anything about it, for it was a free will offering on his part and now that I have come into his possessions I ' m free to do as I wish, even if he had had the ready money. But that doesn ' t relieve their opinion of me. I ' ll show them that I ' m not exactly what they think me, though. This however, he failed to do, for despite his protestations they rigidly maintained their dignified manner and treated him with coldness. One by one he lost his patients and friends and he himself became thinner and paler. He had long before dismissed the house- maid, keeping only the housekeeper and Ozzie. He had lately noticed a timidity and nervousness about Ozzie, who one day with flushed face asked permission to leave. This Jack gave reluctantly, for he knew the loneliness of the big house would be oppressive, but upon reflection he decided to shut up the house and travel himself. One year — three years — five years passed and Jack was still unsettled. He had gone from place to place, restless and unsatisfied. He was quite different from the joyous, youthful Jack of five years before. He was paler and thinner, yet handsomer, with a grim de- termination set upon his face. A plan which had been forming itself for sometime in his mind now took definite shape. Through Ozzie he had learned of the great ignorance of the Indians of Northern Mexico and how thousands die every year because of the lack of efficient medical treatment. He determined to spend the rest of his life there in helping those poor, ignorant people and aiding their progress towards civilization. Accordingly everything was prepared and he was soon settled in Ures, a small Mexican village, ready for work. There were only two American families in Ures and the Indians, unused to foreigners, were at first suspicious of Jack and felt him to be an intruder, but he expected this and was ready to meet it. Through his natural good humor and cheerful nature and always ready to help spirit, he soon won them all over and became their ideal. True to their Indian nature they would have worshipped him as a God had he allowed it ; but instead he taught them as best he could the true religion, many medicinal arts and the English language, while they in turn taught him their own language. There was none among them who was not ready to help Mr. Selzee . Big Jim, a strapping eighteen year old youth, was Jack ' s favorite and his every spare minute was spent with Jack, trying to be like him. Often they stole an afternoon together hunting along some plain or wood. It was on one of these choice afternoons that Big Jim, after studying Jack ' s pale face for a long time, broke the long silence by saying, Mr. Selzee, why don ' t you find prettee girl, get marry, quit working so much? At this unexpected question Jack broke out in a mirthful laugh. Well Jim, a fellow who loves his work as I do hasn ' t much time left to think of girls. I used to fall in love at your age. Anyway I don ' t suppose a girl would want a fellow like me. In spite of his humor, his last words brought a shadow across his face as he remembered some stinging remarks of a Nortonville girl about people who put personal pleasure above duty and public good. Big Jim, noticing the shadow pass over Jack ' s face at his last words attributed its cause wrongly, and exclaimed with triumph, I know nice bu-ful Amelican girl, takee you see her. Thereupon he entered upon a lengthy discourse on Anita Wortham, who lived with her father in another small village — Madre, seven miles north of Ures. Jack was only half listening and only caught a word now and then about Anita, Madre, and something about secret wealth, but in the end he promised to make a visit with Big Jim to Madre the following afternoon. The next afternoon as they walked along the narrow village streets gazing at a little group gathered at the one small store, Jack suddenly straightened and gave a low exclamation. Big Jim looking up to find the cause, saw one of the men turn toward them and as he saw them suddenly flush and then turn deathly pale. Ozzie, for it was he, smiled, however, and came to them and he and Jack talked quite a while before Big Jim led the way to Anita ' s home. She was a beautiful young girl, with her brown wavy hair done in a simple coil, and her wistful brown eyes sparkling with womanly intelligence; at least Jack found her so as he confided to Big Jim on their way home, and this visit only proved to be the beginning of many more. Indeed, from all appearances Jack Selzer had imme- diately busied himself with falling in love with Anita Wortham. In all his visits to Madre the week following the meeting with Ozzie, he had seen his former servant only once, but had noticed Big Jim with him many times. He had also noticed that his Indian companion had worn a thoughtful look the little time he had been with him during those few days. One afternoon he was very busy in his office when Big Jim asked him to go to Madre. He quickly refused on account of his important work on hand, but with all his protestations he was finally coaxed into going. As usual Big Jim remained at the store while Jack went on to the Wortham cabin where his important work was soon forgotten in the present pleasure. At their usual time of leaving Big Jim failed to appear. There was nothing alarming in this, but as an hour passed and still he did not come he became uneasy. As they were wondering over his delay a pistol shot rang out. This increased their anxiety and Jack was preparing to go in search of Big Jim when they heard a step upon the porch. The door burst open and Big Jim fell across the thresh- hold, a box tightly ' clasped in his arms, and a stream of blood oozing from his side. Jack rushed to him to find that he had only fainted. He took no notice of the box, but examined Big Jim ' s wound, which he found to be severe. As he was dressing it he caught his low, half delirious mu-murs, I suspected heem — first timee come Madre — you knew heem — Ozzie ' s secret richee Mr. Selzee. — hard fightee — gottee box. Such confused murmurs mystified Jack more than ever and when he mentioned the box Jack remembered the box he had had clasped so tightly and he rushed to it, opened it and emptied its contents. To his great surprise he found papers and money amounting to several millions, all the papers bearing his uncle ' s name. Among the papers he found the hospital plans. For a long time he stood motionless, unable to grasp the meaning of it all. Why had he found the letter from his uncle saying that their fortune had been lost? This was unmistakably, his uncle ' s though, and here were the hospital plans. Suddenly its meaning dawned THE PINE BURR upon him. Big Jim had connected Ozzie ' s name with the box and said something about secret wealth. Then it all came to him: Ozzie ' s meaning flush at their first meeting a few days before; his nervousness before leaving Nortonville; ah, here was the thief then and HE had been accused! A few days later Jack and Anita were sitting by Big Jim ' s bedside watching and hoping for his return to consciousness. Suddenly he aroused and opening his eyes he stared a full minute at Jack. Then slowly he said, Now you ' ll go backee to your people and leavee me. Jack leaned over and took his hand, Never, Jim, you ' re to go back with me. I ' m going to send you to college and make a doctor of you so you can help with the hospital I ' m to build. A broad grin overspread Big Jim ' s swarthy face and he turned toward Anita, Takee Amelican girl too? Blushing, Jack nodded.
