'V She followed the path by which she thought she came, but instead, plunged ,EEE ,: deeper and deeper in the dark gloomy cave. Finally she stumbled upon a ledge ll f,Q.,i, that looked like a ladder, and climbed it, she sank exhausted on a boulder. Out of sheer wearinws Mlle. DuPont fell asleep. When she awoke she looked V lf! in about her, seeing nothing but quiet darkness. The very stillness of her surround- if ings affected her nerves. Clutching her cape, she accidentally touched the Q' fjf comb in her secret pocket. Mme. brought it forth from its hiding place, and till unaware of her nervous actions, placed and' replaced the colonial relic in her i 429 21' hair. l'1w l What was that noise? What object was peering forth at her through g , N the dismal cloak of obscurity? With a shout, Mme. DuPont ran from the I ledge and tripped against a rock on the ground, dropping her comb, and forcibly i K, striking her head against a rock directly ahead of her.

A -, Mtazgjmf Next morning Number 13 awoke to hear the cry of many newsboys' Extry! All about the big Carleton robbery! Mlle. DuPont, suddenly realizing the enormity of her deeds of last night, shivered. What if they should catch me F was the thought constantly Hitting across her mind. When she was calmed by the thought that she surely would be the last person suspected, she heard again from outside, Extry! Extry! Big clue! Extry! Rap! Rap! Rap! Number 13 jumped. This will never do, she consideredg why should I be so nervous? Opening the door, she was con' fronted by Spider Jim. Hurry Up! he shakily gasped, Dump your clo'es in a bundle, 'an' do what I tells you! De bulls 'er after us. With these words, he ran down the rickety steps. In no less than five minutes, the young woman appeared before the gang, dressed in a suit, cape, and a heavy veil. Taking her through an underground passage, Spider Jim led her to a narrow side street. Jump in de cab, be quick about it, directed' Jim. Number 13 did as she was bid. Soon she found herself moving out of the city limits. Suddenly the taxi stopped and she got out. The driver handed her an envelope and drove away. Opening the parcel, the girl found a paper telling her where to go. Following the directions of Spider Jim, Number 13 took a train at the nearest station. She traveled for hours until she was thoroughly fatigued. The conductor's monotonous shout of the names of the passing towns seemed to accentuate the distance that she was placing between New York City and herself. Soon the train lessened its pace, and Mlle. DuPont, who had been lightly dozing for the last ten minutes, shifted her position and listened to the Conductor's shout, Uniontown, Pa.! Suddenly it Hashed through her mind that this small town would be an excellent place for evading the police. So she descended from the train, forgetting the small parcel which she had taken with her for this un- expected journey. She walked and walked and walked. As the day was beautiful, she did not notice the amount of distance she was covering. At last, attracted by the glit- tering beauty of the mountains which appeared before her view, she walked' toward them, and wandering about, soon discovered an opening that led to a cave. Curiosity prompted her to explore itg so, ignorant as to the dangers before her, she entered, and, becoming interested in the first opening in the side of the cave, forgot that the day was slowly passing away.

Why, as long as l've been I H ' : at school, he has never sent me a flower, said Ruth. E Flowers indeed, retorted Agnes. He knows you need flowers as bad : as a starving man needs shoes. Furthermore, I'll give you that new hat if he E sends you any while you're heref' - : That hat is mine, said Ruth and off she rushed to her secretaire. VVhen E she finished writing, she gave the sheet to Agnes to read. 1 E Dear Jimmy: : How are you Jimmy, dear? I am very sick. The Doctor says l must : stay in bed because my nerves are almost wrecked. l'm so lonesome. I've had : nothing to cheer me up since l've been sick. jimmy, were you ever wrecked? E Well, some day I might show you what it is like. Agnes picked the nicest little : violets for me today. That box of candy you sent me was just fine. The doctor E said that I shouldn't do a thing. So I will have to say good bye. 2 With love, E Ruth. E Not so bad, said Agnes when she finished, but it won't work. ' E We'll see, said Ruth. E James lylanning, son of lawyer Jacob llianning and a partner of the firm .: Manning and MacDonald was very much upset upon receipt of a letter in I the morning mail. Truly, those few lines must have been very important, for E did not Jimmy-the immovable, whose tranquillity of mind had never been 2 disturbed,-did not Jimmy read those few lines over and over again with E many a long sigh and glance at a little photograph on his desk. He had 2 received a similar letter a week previous and answered it immediately. Evi- : dently, the cause of all this disturbance of mind had taken a turn for the worse: : Algernon Dent, Jimmy's rival, who had just returned from a trip in his new 2 car, reported, with a twinkle in his eye, that Ruth was low. Jimmy was not 5 to be convinced however, and now, as he sat before his desk, he thought that : shermight be very sick. With this thought in mind he rushed to the telegraph .1 ofhce and ordered the Horist near the college to send their best bouquet to Ruth. E Much relieved he walked down to the club where he was joined by Algernon : and a few other friends. E What's the matter, Jim ? asked Algernon, with a wink at the rest. E Too much work, I suppose, replied Jim. E We'll have to jolly you up a bit, said' Algernon. Q Everything at college had not worked out as Ruth had planned. How does he get that way? said Ruth. What did I tell you ? replied Agnes, with satisfaction. I'11 show him, said Ruth. She then wrote the second letter, and thanks to her training, she got results immediately. That evening she invited all her friends to her room. There, amidst their applause, she told them of her brilliant success. They crowned her Cleopatra and celebrated the occasion by telling of their escapades until the dormitory rang with their laughter. Om' Hundred and Twenly-one I 2 1 IC ,un .O U I 1 1. if 'D l '-.
