"Then this machin ~ can really predic t the fu ture ?" 1 asked Professor Pietro.

" " 'hy, yes. Don't you believe it?" he replied. " \Veli ," I sai d skeptic;t!l y, " it see ms hardl~'

"rery well , YO li shall see! " he answered, a little angry that I s houl d doubt his wonderful inve ntion.

H e thre w in some switc hes, and began turning vario lls dials on a panel at one side of the room.

"You shall learn from tha tscreen,"hesaidpoint­ing, " th e fate of each one of your classmates. However, the machine is no t perfec ted as ~'e t ,

and even though man y of the girls ma y be married. it will not disclose rhe (ac t. The sce ne that will ap­pear on th e screen will occur about in the year [9-+0. I f you have an y ques tions to ask, repeat t he m softl y to yourself, and the y will be an swered t hrough this headse t. "

\\'ith this he t urned t he indicator to the sectio n marked N ew York. There was a hum o f machin ­e r~' , a fli ckering of lights ; and on th e screen appeared a pi cture.

Buildin gs soar to th e dizzy height of 100 s tories, the air is full o f small aeroplanes, and the s tree t s are crowded with huge trucks, some o f whi ch bear t he insc ription: RUSS EY & Co., Aerial Freigh t­Ne w York- Cen t ral Ameri ca- E urope.

At a busy s tree t-corner, direc ting traffic, is J AM ES DR ISCOL l. , "the fi ghting cop," who is expec ted to win the middle weight c hampionship t he coming fall.

~ iasses o f people are goin g in and out o f the stores, r id ing to t heir vari ous des tinations on the elevated moving s idewalks, whic h were recently installed b~' NORTH ROP & Co., Contractors. Through my headset I was informed t ha t their nex t contract is to bu ild new ae ropl a ne lan d in gs 0 11

the famous esta blishme nt of M ADAJ\ IE BAXTER, where t he styles o f t he world a re set.

In a show window, farth er down th e Ave nue, is displayed the lates t model sport plane manu­fa ctured by the \V EDWALDT FLYI NG FLIVVER COJ\l ­PAN Y. The plane was designed by EVERETT PENTZ, the American flrer who won t he Bulitzer cup the ~'ear before.

\Vith a change of the d ial, th e scene shifts to a beach in California.

On th e sands, a moving pic ture, " The Trotlbl e~

of a Bac helor," is being film ed . BYR NE H UTCHI:-!GS, t he t roubled bachelo r , has j us t made a thrilling rescue, and is hero icall y e merging from th e breakers , carrying Er-.II L Y CON LEY. Nearb y s tands F LORE NC E PETER SON, also an ac tress, who ha~

Beside the cameraman, who is R ALPH J ENS EN, fo rmerl y o f Pathe N ews, R ICHARD E NGELKE, the d irector, is franti call y motioning to Byrne, who apparently doesn't see him.

.-\n interes ted spectator is CO NS UELO CAMARA, a well -known opera soprano, who is on her vaca­tion.

The pic ture fad es and d isappears, revealing ano ther , of the :"Jew England estate of A ND REW DONOV AN , whose lates t book, The End oj lV ow!Jere, has beellj oyollsly received by the public.

On t he piazza of the Lea\tiew, one of the large r hotds of t he resort, are sitting ;\ l ILDRED OLIVER and KATHER INE l\ i ILLER. i\ lildred is on the staA-' of the DiClorial Preview and Katherine is one of the fo re most WOlllall lawyers in the L 'nited Srates. T hey are discussing the latest scanda l from the Sl'tlrrhlighl, a society paper edited h~' STELL \ :\ EWBOLD.

On a A ~'ing lielt! a short distance awa y, a report­er for [he Blah lind IIn'ald is ilHen' iewing H ELF.;\" F REXC H, the world's most daring aviatrix.

~--~--------------------------------------~------------------~

History is a mirror. In irs clear depths are n::Aecred'the happenings o f the past) n :) matter what their character or what thei r tone. \\'as there ever a mirror of jollier scenes than t hat of a clas3 histon-? Youth and its iovs, its troubles, and it~

as?ira'tions- all rUIl ran'lp~nt in it. Someti:11':."s

there are no big things which stand Ollt in the memory like sentinel posts on the horizon o f time; but there is alwa~'s that golden , appealing atm os­phere of happiness that end ures forever in the hearts of t hose who made that history.

Leave vour tasks and settle down \\ ith me for a while and I will show ~'OU a mirror I ha ve had for four years, a very small and shining one into which eyes, filled with longing reminiscence, will gaze when the youth o ( to-day is the age o( to-morrow.

"Scrubs" here, "Scrubs" there, "Scrubs" every­where! Female scrubs, short-skirted, short-socked, eviden tly short-sighted! tVlale sc ru bs, s heared and shorn, embarrassed, red-ea red, herded into the room by cruel and prodding upiJcr classmcn! Th e assembly at last quieteJ, the classes in order, th e teac hers in superv i ~ i o n~t h at is the first day of sc hool.

Here are the scrubs at their first class meeting. Chatter, chatter, chatter, nothing but chatter! They must be called to order every (ew minu tes. A.t last after seemi ngly ages of confusion they elect their officers: R ichard Engelke, President; Burnett Meec ham, r ice Presidenrj Emil y Con­ley, Secretary and Treasurer. They decide upo n dues, and every meeting after that their Secreta ry has to plead in alt the eloquence at her command to make them meet their obligations. They listen to her an:l immediatel~r (orget. The days pass and high sc hool becomes a habit. The teachers begin to pound, pound, pound. In February the scrubs wh o pull through the examinations, are automati­cally conve rted into Freshmen. Th ey no longer s tare at th e upper classmen; rhe upper classmen no longer s tare back- thert: is peace.

The Fres hmen, assuming new dignity in spite o ( the amused contempt o( t heir elders in the high school, decide to enter theatrical lire. The Fresh­man English Classes dra matize "Tht: Legend of Sleepy Hollow," by I rving, and present the

intriguing little tale be (ore the assernbly. The whole thing is a success . The Freshmen arl.:" trans?orteJ in to the seventh heaven o( conceit

T aking courage they plan a tacky party and invite the whole school. Ever~' class attends. Senior plays side br side with Freshman; prejudice is (orgotten. The Freshmen congratulate them­sdves on their entertai ning ability. The spell o( egotist ical delirium is broken only when the harassing time of examination:; again arrives. At the end o( the year those who emerge triumphant, d rop o R- the title o( Freshmen and become Sopho­mores. So endeth the first year.

The second ~ 'ear now opens in our mirror of history. The Freshmen ,round-eyed and childis h, have grown into gangling Sophomores. Th e first day no longer holds terror (or them, (or there is another herd o( scru bs to prod. Th e Sophomores prod them hardest of all, and when their victims sta re at them, they stare back. At their class meeting they still persist in the usual program o( chatter although they display the new importance one year o( high sc hool has given them. The election of offi cers takes place_ Richard Engelke is reelected (or President; Byrne H utchings be­comes \ 'ice P resident, and Hattie Bell R ader, Secretary and Treasurer.

The Sophomores now settle down to hard work, saving all their money and relinquishing every (orm o( pleasure to prepare themselves for the enormous expenses sure to meet them in their J tlnior year. The), have taken one more step of t he long and difficult journey to Seniorland_

The third year in Ollr mirror o( hi stor~' now opens. \\'e see the Jun iors at their class meeting. Th ey are a little more attentive and the elect ion is more deliberate. The old officers keep their positions. Before them appear many hill s to climb, and th e way is hare!.

At t he beginning o( the term many competitors enter the Declamator y Conrest, but Thomas :\for throp, a J unior, carries off the high est honors. In Februar~' the J uniors hire a trllck, dress them­selves in carnival regalia and join the merrymakers in Panama City. I n ~Iarch they again enter theatrical life, presenting before the public a

program of vaudeville, including a one-act play. They are mort: than successful in th eir enterprises, for they secure enough money to carr y them through the expenses of the banquet for the Seniors and to give their memorial to the sc hool­a hundr.:! t1 dollars worth of books for th e lib rar~· .

Th e J urlio:--Senior Banquet arrives an d the Seniors are given a splendid send -oR". So endeth the third year.

T he fourth and las t year now opens in our mirror of hi sto r~' . The insignifi cant little scrubs ha ve hecome dignified Seniors, assuming their new role with dictatorial demeanor and magnanim oll ,) CO I1-tempt (or those Jus t starting out to climb the long steps to the throne o( Knowl edge. The choice of the election again fall s upon the old offi ~·e rs . The

Seniors begin work on their pla y anti in Fe bruar~' they stage " Adam anu Eva" at the Balboa club­house,

l\ lonrhs pass and slowly the :\nnual is compileu . . -\t last the end of the rear COlll eS and the Seniors re \,ei in the ddights of S:;' nior ceremonies. The~'

accomplish their duti es, passing out of scho)1 with a step that is eager and yet reluctant.

The doors o( the world open b;;: fore th em. T he Class of ''26 is gone. So enJeth th e fourth vear.

The dancing reRections are still now in my little mirror, for the hi s tor~' does not foll ow in to the ytars to come. Let U'i put it away into its shining -;ilver case wh ~re it ma y res t in swe:: t con t..::1t unti l eyes, fill ed with longing: for a glimpse of the past, again gaze in to its clear depths.

Firi'l Place-:o,llOrt "'tory COlltt'"l

Ta boga Is land lay smot hering in the heat of midday. The cross on the top of t he hill at the farther t nt! of t hl: is land stood, a white flare, as t he SlIll burned into t he bare sides of the incline, wit hering the dull grass in its listless struggle for life, and harshl y revealing the ston~' trail worn by t he feet of clH husiasr ic romance seekers deter­min ed to reach the cross in spite of all drawbacks prescl1tt::d by tropica l heat and rhe steepness of the slopes.

From its sheltered corner t he Hotel Aspinwall, seeminglr deserted, looked Oll t over the Pacific where, in the distance near the sai l of a fishing scow, the long, lithe fOflll of a L'nited States destro~'e r cut the waves. Th e sea rippled in streaks o f deep blue, scars left upon its calm sur­face by the ruthl t:ss plowing of s hips bound for pons far ova the horizon.

Tht: road from t he Aspinwall strt:tc hed, a blinding strip o f white, sym bol o f invading civil­izat ion , t h rough the torrid vi llage where c hi ckens, pigs, and children lolled in laz~' content on the dirt Aoors o f some of the houses. \\'ith the hazy air mingled the sce nt of roses in the sun from th .: gardens inclosed in their warped and weather­beaten board fences .

:\t t he end of the road lay the mango grm'e suR"ering uncol11plainingl~' frol11 the heat in the langour of habit. :\ few half-breed children sprawled about on the ground, which was covered

with dead leaves ; a naked bab~' c hoked over a dry crust of brea.l, and ran, screaming h~'s tericall)', from the fri end ly advances of a mange-eaten cur, :\n urc hin ventured upon the scorc hing sand, but Red back, howling for fear o f blistered feet .

On the beac h wae the figures of a man and a woman, leaning on an overturned rowboat on tht: top of which lal..ily s tretched the (arm of a young child. The woman, undoubtedl~' ~'oung in years but already show ing the signs of departing routh, whic h appear so early in wome n of the tropi cs, was half-clad in a torn gingham dress which hung in ulltidr fo lds about her bare feet . H er hair, s traight and black, was tangled into a matted rope down her back. Her fa ce with its hea\'y jaw, and the t hick) distended nostrils o f her nose clearly he­trayed her negro blood in spite of the contradic­tion of her pale skin.

The man, with the legs of his khaki trouSers cut oft" at t he kn ee in jagged strips and his faded shirt carelessly open at the throat} was as ragged and dirt)' a s the woman at his side. T he attirt: of the hoy was rt:pulsi\'e and sIO\'enl~·.

Th e child in response to a harsh command from the mall, jumped from the boat and the~'

both set to work to turn it OVer. H a\·ing :1 C­

compli'ihe...i their task, they lifted it to the water's edge. .-\ moment later the woman pushed th t: boat, with ha two compani ons in it, out into the waves, ami stood watching it until it drifted from

the sandbar [0 the op=::n sea and around the corner of the island. Then she turned and went slowly up to one of the ramshackle huts on the edge of rhe grove.

The hours dragged on through rhe siesta to late afternoon; and with the passi ng of time, t he heat lessened. On the h')rilo:l, w!lere the blue of rhe sea Iller rhe blue of t he s:':' ~ ', a haze darkened into a black c loud that SWt'p t down over the earth in a torrent o f rain. The s:no)t h un Juiari :ms of rhe waves broke into stinging mists of spray that lashed rhe beach in un compromising fury. Th e wind, roused into a sullen roa r, snapped tht" fronds of a pa lm tree ulltil ther hung lifeless and dropped to the fl ooded ground.

The woman who had bee n on the beach in the sunshine, hours before, now stood on the sa nd­bar, staring at the sea through the rain that beat upon her uncovered head an d streamed down her fa ce, set and strained with anxiety. Herd ress clung to her in heavy soggi ness, revealing the tensene33 of her boJ~·. Beside her had gat hered a little grou~ of villagers drawn to her in sympath~' to keep the vigil for t hose two who had gone out in t he S~l n ­

shine and never return ed . Th ree ragge.! m~~l

pushed their h33t out int .) the waves anJ turn ~J

to wave t heir han Is through the cu:-tai n o f toe mist as if w encourage t he watchers.

An hour passed and the storm tha t haJ risen so sudden ly retreated and ceased its fi erce attack on the earth. The little group sti ll stood all the beach, waiting and hoping against hope for th~ success of the search party. From aroun.l the

corner o f the island two boats; one empty, the other with three occupants, came through the urizzle. The three men had returned but the man and the little hoy who had gone ou t in the after­noo n had le ft nothi ng but their b::>at drifting aiml ess ly on the waves. Th e women bowed their heads, on:;: murmuring in htn hed and frightened breat:l, "f\ l adre de Di)5." \\'hen the hoats were drawn up all t he sa ndbar the li ttle group dis­perseJ to t:,-= g.-ave leav ing the woman leaning o n one as she had been earlier in the day.

:\Ione, the chill o f despair c rept out of t he wind

and laid clammy hands upon her until she s hivered

in its cold embrace. She shuddered, moaned. and

Second Pl :u.:e-Short StOrr Contes-t.

Carnival time was comi ng again and Pancho found himself in need of spendi ng money with which to celebrate and make merry as is proper at this season. Pancho was a young Panamanian who plied at the trade of "panguero," which translated means boatman. H e was short in stature, his skin was of a light brown color and he was handsome for his race. This young man's personal possessions l'onsisted chie fl y of his "panga," his other suit of working clothes, a much cherished Sunday suit (used by his father for the

same purpose before t he latter's deat hL a gyps~' dream book (muc h thumbed and frared by CO I1 -

stant reference) and a razor, somewhat rusty and sadly in need o f honing. :\ 11 of these things were secured in a small compartment in the stern of his "panga. "

Pancho was self-depe ndent , with no relati\'es to bother about. Al toget her, Pancho's life was easy and simple. During the da~' he eit her took passengers wand fro from their boats to the shore. or d id the odd jobs of a longshorema n o r lolled in

the shade, the last named being the more usual. He kept him self part of t he ti me in " La l\'la rina," a boarding house o n t he water front near "' .a Presidencia" which has a conveni ent landing place for passengers o f coastwise vessels. Pancho was a very familiar figure along the waterfrOllt, always smiling and cheerful, with his head bare un der t he hottest of S UIlS , his s hirt sleeves tucked up to the elbows and his trousers rolled lip to the knees. H is feet were never clad in s hoes, for he eit her wore canvas slippers or went barefoot.

;'\low there was one thing about Pan cho, though he worked rather hard and earned a bit of maney; he had none put awa~' for a rainy da~' and . in fa ct , had barely enough for his meals. H is money melted in various ways; namely, lending, gamb­ling, and drinking. H is chief ambition wa s to

have mone~' b~' the bagfulls, and since he could not save it, he proposed to win t he l otter~·. E verr week he bought a 50-cent ticket, and every Sun­day he saw his little scrap o f paper become wo:-t h­less. Th is continual loss did not discoura6e him ; with true gambling spi rit he persisted in bU~'in~ his t icket.

This week Pancho bought his ticket as usual, but hoped more than ever to win the big prize, for the Sunday o f dle lot tery drawing was Carni­val, and no one wanting happiness cmlld aR-ord to be with out mo ne ~' .

:\t 9.30 on SlInda~' morning Panc ho was at " La Lo teria Nacion al ' and chose a convenient site from whi ch to witness the drawi ng at 10 .

By [ 0 o'clock the crowd was so dense that Pancho could barely sq uirm. He saw the ivory balls twirl ­ing in their sp herica l container ; he saw the little trap door open and a chi lci pick alit a ball. 'T' ht:: ball was handed to an attendant who un screwed it, showed it to the public and hung up a metal number whi ch corresponded to the one in the ball. This operation was repeated until a +-digit number was formed, which was the winnin~ number. Some of t he people shou ted and laughed, (or t hey had won, butthegreaterpa rtofthemu l­t itude groaned and muttered thei r disapproval. The lo ttery drawing proceeded until two more such +-digit numbers had been posted. Th e cashier's windows were now flung open in order to par off t he fa va red ones.

Pancho was disappointed with the first resul t, but the gods ofltH.:k favored him with the second.

Several seconds elapsed before Pancho cou ld realize that he had won part of the second prize. He looked again and again at the number in his hand and compared it with the winning number. H is han d shook and his heart beat wildly as he convinced himself of his good fortune . He ftlt suddenl y very happ y; he was at peace with the world. He wan ted to shou t or to laug h to relieve his feeli ngs, but he managed to control him self. At a window a very bus)' cas hi er dealt out I ~

crisp 520 bills to the wild-e~'ed Pancho , wh o ha ~1 never seen so much money before in hi s life.

Panc ho went over to " I.a Marina" and sat down on an empty box to decid e how to spend his t hree hundred doll ars. H is dec ision made, he fi rst went to San J ose C hurch, the church with the golden altar, and thanked God and all the sai nts with a fervent prayer and a twenty dollar bill which he dropped into an alms box. Th is duty done, Pancho felt that he was free to act as he p leased. H e put twO hun dred dollars of hi s money into t he little compar tment in his "panga" an d wi t h t he remaining money went out to make ela bora te preparations for his first real carni val. He took Pepe, his closest fri end, wit h him and went out to do the necessar~' shopping and to make the neces­sary arrangements for a regular good time. Since it was Sunday, all the stores were closed, but it is said t hat "money makes the mare go" and it d id. Pancho bought for him self and his fri end two magnificent T urkish costumes, profusely deco­rated with sparkling beads and trimmed with gold lace.

That afternoon Pancho and Pepe joined a ga~' "comparsa," which is a troupe of fun -seekers belonging to some club who unite and face th e pleasures of the da~' together. Th e "comparsa" rode up and down Central .. \ venue in t heir fl oat. ha ving a wonderful time. T he busy street was packed wi th Roatsj hol iday crowds t hronged t he sidewalks. E verywhere there were grand confetti and serpentine battles. The air was filled with music, song, and laughter. Ever~' where t here was life and color \\'ha t a morley scene was pre­sented by Central :\ venue that afternoon; the gaily decOl'ated Roats, t he ga u dil~' arranged people, the vari-colored streamers of serpentine waving from projections where ther had been caugh t.

:\ t night t he "comparsa" broke up and each member began a private tour of the dance halls

and ca barets. Pancho and his friend went from one gay place to another, now dancing the nati ve "tamborito" to the sound of the "tambor" and now doin~ their best at da ncing the Charleston to the ~ar-racking nois~s of a pi ck-up jazz band. At ever~' place they consumed quantiti es of liquor, from the strongest nati ve rulll to the finest and most ex pensive champagnes. Pancho and Pepe had enough at abou t -I- in t he morn ing, at which tirne they went to the latter' s hOllle to

rest fo r t he next night's festivit ies. Soon Pancho's friends began to hear of hi s luck,

and the~' borrowed large sum s shamelessly, which, as usual, t hey never intended to repay. Pancho had two more friends to help celebrate the ca rni val on the second day. and he spent his money faster than ever. Pancho welH horne with Pepe at 5 o'clock 011 the morning o f the second day, quite inebriated from t he eft'ects of t he rum, wine, and beer which he had consumed.

On t he t hird da~' Pancho spent hi s money with less discre tion than ever. Also, he made supple-

menta ry loans, and new loa ns, and repaid slig ht fa vors in currency. P ancho suddenl y became ver y popular; that night he had a regular troupe of friends trailing him; and he generously paid all of their bills. A t one da nce ha ll Pancho got mi xed up in a drunken brawl and was conducted to t he police statton , where he was rel eased upo n pa y­ment of a sti ff fin e. Atdawn that morning Pancho found hi s wa ), to " La Marina," where he t hrew himself o n the Aoor and slept off his d runk enn ess. He was a sight to see ; h is costum e rorn, his (ace red from t:xcessive d rinking and serpentine looped about him.

I t was not until the fourth day that Pancho coul d think sa nely enough to determi ne his position . J I1siJe o f three short days he had squandaeJ three hundred doll ars, and had noth­ing to s how for it ot her than the sweet memories that remained.

Third Place-Short Story CO il lest.

J ust over the horizon, the moon was rising. casti ng its light on each side o f the ba~' , givi ng a blue hazy tint to the hills beyond, and an immacu­late whi te to the shores on the bay o f Titicaco. The breeze had died down, though not su ffi cie nrl~ '

to stop t he water from rolling its phosphorescent white foam s on t he shore.

The ,Val/C)' ..J"'Il', a dist inctly and purely sai lin g sloop, was in t he bay with sails furled and anchor down. I t was not the o nl y sloop that had come to the island of T iticaco. On the lee side, covered by the bare shadow of the sloop at anchor, was a little tender. Th e red and gree n lights had but a faint glimmer, so faint indeed, that one might have seen a star o n a moon light night mu ch more casily.

Presently two men c1imhed over the side o f t he little sloop on the jacob ladder into t he tender. and started for the shore in the direction of t he shado\\ of the vessel which led them to the center of the hay. Bdore them there was a long and narrow plain that ilscended to the blue-tinted hills in the background. T he men alighted from the little tender and made for t he jungle, which bounded the plain on the right, and followed it

along until they came to the templ eof Chichicoco, t he great and miraculous god of the islanders.

Though nothing better than a thatched house from t he ou tside, the interior was Greek in sty le. :\Iong with this simple Greek decoration, were t he scalps, fishes, beads, and other trinkets which the islanders had bestowed on the god d uring their successive and successful fi ghts. This temple. of which the natives boast so much, dates back to

the time of the ru le of kings and emperors in Europe. J t was begun a few mOl1ths after t he atrival of the two ".J\ rgoes," as the natives ca lled t hem. The~' had come to t he island and won t he confidence o f t he nati ves; won their battles; taught them many new things; and finally per­suaded them to build a ternple to the god of the 11100n, who, they sa id, had done so much for them. :\ s a tokt'll of their fri endship, these two Argoes had placed twoglitrering stones, which the natives admi red and cove ted very much, in the eye soc kets of t he statue. These two stones were the fam ous diamomls in the crown of Peter the Great which had been stolen by two intriguing Russians o f the Court who took the opportunit~· at the time of an impending revolution. The nameS of Orloff

and Herman wt:rc blazoned in the papers, and the police had searc hed in vain for them. They had made for the border and then for the islands in the Archipelagoes with the intention of re[Urn­ing some da~' to a famous collector of jewels named Peter Du bra. Bu t the day neve r came. Peter Du bra had waited and died, and so had OrloR- and Herman . The subsequent descendants of this collector had looked forward to these jewels as a prize well worth whi le getting. I t had been tht:ir vow to get these twO diamonds at an~' cost.

Of these descendants, was A.lamand Du bra, the last of his lin e. His sharp features, hi s piercing eyes, his t hi n sharp nose, his long slender and obtrusive body showed the unscrupulous man whose deeds were never to be forgotten by all F.urope, or those who ever saw his devilish smile.

He had been traveling allover the South Seas in searc h of these stones during the last 20 years. He had been tra\'elling all alone, and now he was getting old. He nt.::eded a companion. .-\bollt a "ear before ht.:: had picked up a chap whom he ~ermed as "a drunken ~'ou[h" at Singapore. " He would make a nne henc hman," he had t hought. I t was these two t hat had come to the island of T iticaco in the sloop, and had gone cautiously up to t he temple under the cover of t he jungle.

. -\Iam and Du bra had come to get the diamonds at all costs. The youth had come to make a new srart, and would dare to do an~· thing to begin. He was indebted to Dubra for the chance, though he was like a slave. They had been waiting at the edge of the plain near the temple to see that no native was watching.

" \Y hew!" let out the youth as though he was tired.

"Sh---. Remember, ir is now or never. Th ere is one native who knows!" whispered Dubra.

The ~'out h was a chap of sOllle 20 yt.::ars whose powerful biceps, and Greek physique had been developed during his time on the sloop. He had been like a faithful dog to Du bra, had braved many dangers, and seell many squalls, gales, and storms, for the one purpose- to make up what ht: had lost.

Th ey rushed up to the temple with daggers on one side, and si lent colts on the other. The~' entered the temple and looked about to make sure there was no one there. Opposite the door, two eyes glittered in the apparent darkness. They were t he eyes of the god.

"Get the stones," comrnanded Dubra, "while I watch for the natives."

The youth made his \\'a\' cautiollsir to rhe statue .. }\Iong the opposit~ edge of the plain which the two had taken, a native was coming toward the temple. r ear and courage seemed to strike Dubra alternately. His hand passed over his dagger and then over his col t. He looked in the direction of the statue only to see the eyes still there. I-It.:: wondered what could be keeping the youth, or whether he was playing him a trick. The native was sti ll coming. He rneasured the time it would take the native to reach the temple and then looked at the statue. The eyes were still there. To speak in tht.:: clear still night would be to arouse suspicion, for the sound tra \'elled well over the island. He looked at the native again. I t would be 7 minutes, hejudged, before he would get to the temple. He looked again at the statue with relief to see that one of the eyes had disappeared . The o ther would be down soon, he knew. He would watch the native now, he thought, and make plans for t he escape. Five minutes to go, he thought, as he heard behind him the stumbling of the youth.

" \\'hat's the matter?" he nnall~' asked off' hi s guard.

·· 1---1 stumbled," the ~'ollth murmured . "Shut up! Here comes a native. Hurry!" Aided by the shadow of the temple on the side

which the\' had chosen to come, they started for the jungle', and then hurried like pa,~thers on the chase to the shore where the tender la~· . They jumped into the boat, started the engine, looked at the Illuffler and then at the sloop. They rigged the sloop and began sailing slowly out of the har­bor. Once out of the bay, the sloop encountered stormy weather. The 11100n was overcast by clouds, and a strong breeze had begun to ruffle the ca lm waters. Over the horizon in the darkness of the night, lightning Rashes were bursting the clouds. Th ey were heading into the storm), weather.

The \'outh had taken to the tiller, while Dubra , the bet'ter cook, prepared somet hing to ear. After a repast which was accompanied with work, Dubra asked for the diamonds. The youth handed him one .

" \\'here is the other?" queried Dubra. "That is mine!" he answered. "Oh, 1 see. That is right. Agreement."

THE 20;-; 1.\:-;.

He took out of his pocket a jeweler's l111sc ro­scope and put it up to his right eye. \\,ith his nimble fingers, he was fee ling the stone as he saw the minute construction. He looked at the youth. I t was the first time the chap had not acted like a fai thful dog. He was g~tti ng too independent. He surveyed the stone again. " \\,i th one I can li ve comfortably se \Te ral ~'ears, " he thought, "but with two- ah, well--I can live like a milli on­aire, even longer ." He looked at the youth again. Somehow, hi s vision was blurred. Yet he kn ew the youth was there.

" Let me see ~'o ur stone?" hl: asked with a devilis h smi le.

":-;0." " } onl~' want to exa min e it." ":-;0." " I see. ·You do not trllst me. I 'll let you keep

rn~' s tone while I look at yours." " Don't be so annoying. Can't you see what

we're head ing in to?" " Yes, yes, my fri end. Bu t give me that stone.

You Illay lose it in t his storm." " I t is sa fer with me," retorted the youth. Dubra looked at his stone again. He moved

closer to t he youth. "G ive me that stonel " he commanded. ·;~o. "

Overhead hung dark clouds. Lightning with its fi er~' Rashes of wrath broke the clouds above that sent the torrents of rain lIpon the littl e sloop whi ch increased in volume as the short mo ments passed by. Peals of thun der, like the crushing of large bowlders or an ava lanche o f roc ks made the pitter pa tter of t he rain noiseless. Ra in was strea ming down like sweat upon the two as the~'

sa t near the tiller. Dubra, with his devilish smile, was looking at the youth , whil e the latter was straining his e~res for th e sigh t o f a landmark or the familiar lights o f a s hi p. Dubra's han ds w~re circli ng the throa t of th e youth . The youth caught

his hand in a grip o f steel and muttered" Enough!" Bu t Dubra's other hand was free. \\,ith it he sought his tru sty dagger and sta bbed the youth. H is grip loosened, and his bod y coll apsed over the lap of Dubra. Dubr" searched th e bod y of the lad for the stone, found it, and threw the body aside. \\'it h a last look o f satisfa ct ion he got up, looked at the youth and then at the stone. He was going to the cabi n. Th ere was a Rash, a peal of t hunder and t hen a ca lm. I t was t he last strok e of the lig htning fJr the night. The rain poured severa l hours and then ceased. I t was cl ose to morning when the sun began to rise. The sloop, with n ~ one at the tiller, had been sai ling in ci rcles and drihing. Cl ose to noon, the youth awoke from his swoon. He d ragged his body over to the keg and feebly ope ned the pipe. He le t the water dri p into his parched throat for several minutes. There was a du ll pain on hi s left side, but he d id not care. H e wanted to sleep. \\'hen he awoke again, he felt mu ch stronger. He exa mined hi s wou nd to find that it was on ly minor. He dressed it crudely with a handkerc hi ef and a part of hi s shirt. " \\'here is Dubra ?" he wondered . " } f he mea nt to kill me, he would ha ve thrown me overboard. H e ollght to be at th e ti lle r." Btp Du bra was not at the tiller. On his way to th e ca bin, he saw the lifeless body of Dubra. He examin ed it. There were parts of rhe body that were scorc hed, while the bones were all shattered . and as he felt the mass, it made him shudder. } t was like a jelly. There was s till the devilish smil e on t he face o f Du bra, as if somethi ng had bee n accompli shed . The youth took two diamonds from t he hands of the vict im and looked at them curiously.

"Oh, well," he murmured, "Men die forever wh en they have wasted thei r li ves, but men die to live again when t hey are innocent. "

THE RETURN.

Aglles IVillougMy, ' 27.

T en years ago Thomas l\ leade was on a hUllting trip in Alaska. One cold and lonely da y he came upon a log-cabin se t far off from the little dreary se ttlements which seemed so deserted. !\ wo man of about 50 years s tood at the door and invited him in , and told him to make himself at homc­as was t he custom of t he countr~· .

I t was a delig ht to him to be in such a cozy hOlll e afte r having lived for wee ks at a t ime in hunte rs' cabins- with all that it implies of dirt fl oors, un­

made beds, tin plates, and bacon and bean s. Those cabins were cheerl ess, but this was a home whi ch rested tired eyes and refres hed o ne. H is de ligh t showed in his fa ce, and the woman saw it. S he answered him as if he had spoken to her.

" I t' s all her own work." S he condu cted him to a bedroom in orti er tha t

he might freshen his appeara nce ; such a room he had not seen for years. Every thing was so c lean and neat. J Lst as he fini s hed, she reentered th e room and showed him a pi cture o f the mos t beauti ­ful girl he had ever seen.

She said, " J ust sixteen her last birth d ay and­ah , but just wait un til you see her.·'

" \Vh ere is she now ?" he asked. "S he 's awa y now at sc hool, and has bee n gone

for two years." " \Vhen will she re turn? " "S he'll be here Sunday at about 7 o'clock." iVIeade was sorry to hear t his becau se he wanted

to see her, and ye t he had to re turn to his home before the trai ls became impassable , so he told th e woman this. On hearing hiss tatemen t , t he woman begged him to s ta y and see her daugh ter becau st: she liked company and would be lonely if no o ne but her mother was there to gree t her 011 her arrival. S he begged so hard an d he had fall en so much in love with th e girl that he dec ided to stay

Th e firs t day afte r his arrival slipped awa y. Th e second evening, wh en it had grown dark, an old pioneer came to see the old woman. He gree ted them and said, " I jus t dropped in to ask when t he litrl e miss is coming home. H ave ~'O tl an y news from her about her arri val t '

"Oh, yes, I have a letter from her. \\'ould YO LI

like to hear it, ~lr. H ardy ?"

" " 'ell, I should say J woul d!" The woman then got the le tte r and read it­

a charming le tter full o f lo ve and o f mt:ssages to

her old fri ends no t forgo tten eve n in two years . Th e lette r fini shed , 1\ l r. H ardy arose an d at t he door he pro mised to he on hand to mee t her when she arri\·ed.

Th e following evening , Saturcby, more old fri ends carne to visit her and tht: le tter was also read to th em, all promising to be there Sun d ay eve ning

\\'hen Sunda~' arrived th t: lad ~ ' was ver~' nervou s

an d anxious. E ver y few minutes she would run out to t he trail to sec if the girl was in sight . Then she would en te r t he house an d ask i\ l ead e il he thought anyt hing had happened to her, and if he thought she wou ld arri ve o n t im e. :\ bout 5 o'cloc k t he peopl e began to arrive, and th e new­comers d ecorated the hOllst: . .-\ few minutes before 7, fi ve of th e men broug ht the ir instrum ents out and began to pla~' danct:' mu sic.

woman a drink of cide r, to "gi vt: her courage" as he put it . J us t as s he swall owed rh e drink tht' clock stru ck se ven.

Andrnt' Donot'fln, '26.

During the reign o f tht: Emperor Shullchiabi, there was brought to th t: palace a bird o f great

beauty called, in the language of the country. the Krobora . I ts song was more beautiful than that of

the Oii, so it was givel1 a place in the palace. T he

Emperor was enchanted by its singing, and

ordered that it should have a golden perch in the Hall of the Seven Houri . He fL.lrth erm ore COI11-

mandeJ that it be attended by six men, of the

Tajehal tribe, dressed in cloth o f gold b.-::strewn with moonbeams, and wearing wigs powdered

\\ ith s tar dust. :\ \1 this was done, and every evening the Kro bora

sa ng its beautiful song, and every even ing the Emperor was overjoyed and wept pearly tears upon the jasper pa vement.

:\11 went well ulltil the six attendants, dressed in cloth of gold bestrewll with moonbeams and wearing wigs powdered wit h star dust, o bserved that the Krobora was losing its song.

T hey came in haste before the Emperor and, falling lIpon their knees before him, said , "Oh, most diville and august ruler of the Two Empires of the Sisisquissetabai , and loved of the Gods, we find that the great Krobora loseth its song through loneliness."

The Emperor gave orders that a companion be: brought from the royal aviary, and be insta lled on a perch near the great ~robora .

T he commands were obeyed, and things went happily till the ne:wcomer, the \\'a)'i necc hii bird, began to scold the Krobora. T he f..:. robora grew angry and, in high tones, scolded the \\'ayinecchii bird.

T his cOlltinued day after day until the attend­allts, dressed in cloth of gold bestrewn with moon­beams and \\caring wigs powdered with star dust, saw that the Krobora was getting a sore throat. T her held council, and it was decided that the \Va~'i necc hii Gird s hou ld be put to death.

T he decision was realized, and things went well. Every night the Em peror sat under ~\ I ozaru anu ~abazarll and Zual.aru, and wept pearly tears upon the jasper pavement.

Thus things went, but soon the f..:.robora missed its companion, the \\'ayinecchii bird, and fell sick. T he royal doctors tried to save its life but it was useless. Da~' by day it grew more sil ent , and one morning the six attendants found it dead on the golden perch.

T hus passed the Krobora. ~ational mourning was proclaimt:d throughout

.'\ FABLE. Frtwal Brown, ':q.

~ot so very long ago in Farm er Gra)"s potato patc h, there existed a little village of bugs called Bugsville. Now it happened that all kinds of bugs lived here, and among this mixture was a very happy little family of crickets. \ t consisted of Daddy Cricket, i\ lother Cricker, and Ch irp~ ' Cricket. Chirp), was the first, t he last , and the only child of the Cricket fami l ~ ' , and o( course the apple of his mother's eye. \\'h at great long legs Chirpy had fo r a bug his size! Bu t it was no wonder, for this trait was a family characteristic.

Chirpy was a lively littl e cricket- in fact, the livliest littl e cri cket in Hu ~svillc. That's why he had so matlY fri ends. Best of all these man\' fr iends was j ohnny Red- Breast who used to sing out such cheery "good-mornings" to Chirpy as he hopped along to school. Bllt one morning Chirpy didn't see or hear a thi :1:'; of his friend as hejumped through the old pot:uo patch. He was quite sorry not to find hi s fri end, but it was not long before he saw somet hing that created more sorrow in his littl e heart . ]u <; t hefore him was Tommv Gra\' who was actually ca rrying J ohnny in hi s· haJld ~ . Thi s made Chirpy furi ous.

"Bu t how had all this happened?" Ch irp~'

asked himself. Yes, he had glte5sed righ t- it was t he work of a sling-sho t. Bu t he'd help .I oh i1l1Y .

Up he hopped all the boy's shoulder and chirped (or dear life ( \ mean his friend's dear life). Chirpy

was wise enuugh to know that boys like noise, for you see his mot her had read to him out of i\f other Bug's Rh ymes that littl e bo)'s were made out of noise. \\'d l. he knew that he surely could do t hat little thing to a " T ." This boy proved not to be an exception to th e rule, and when he discovered such a rackctty littl e insec t hopping about him he se t out to capture it. Of cou rse , he forgot about J ohnny Red- Breast wh o had escaped to the old apple tree. Chirpy led hi s pursuer a merry chase and it wasn't long before he had complete ly left him in the d ust.

Later on in life, when Chirpy had become quite old and feeble, he stroll ed down t he old Potato Lane thinking of hi s past youth. He was so e n­raptured by hi s thoughts, that he did not realize where he was until it was too late. He had walked right into the parlor of t he most-fea red man and tyrant of Bugsvi lle, Daddy Long Legs. Th is was call ed the Chamber o f Horrors, and no man had ever been knuwn to come out of it alive- let alon e come alit at all.

Struggle and chirp as he did, it was of no avail; Daddy Lo ng Legsjust grinned hungr ii y and made Chirpy feel very uncomfortable. Chirpy realized that it was all off with him - but he decided to die mantully, so he said his prayers and closed hi s eyes, quietly waiting for the inevitable to happen. Such a te;rible tugging and s haking!

" Daddy Long Legs has surely become a victim of ele;Jhantitis," t hought Ch irp~' .

H e could stand it no longer so he opened his eyes, and be hold! there stood J ohnn y Red- Breast where Daddy Long Legs s hOldd have been.

" I heard you as I passed by," explai ned J ohnn~· .

"But where 's that old demon?" asked Chirpy , still a little lIneas~ ' .

" Lose your fears, my friend, and just look at him flying across that field. 1 couldn't do it ma rc beautifullr myself. l 'lll glad t hat I found you, and now that my debt is paid 1 must hllrr~' along, {or J enny \\' ren is ca lling."

So with t hese parting words, J ohnny le(t his friend who had once saved hi s life.

:\fter a horrible passage frolll i\ Iadagaskar to i\ l arseilles which, heing war time, took liS five weeks instead of three, we were sent to the camp at Garaisoll, s ituated in the H igh P~'renees not far from Lourdes, the famous Catholic pilgrim s' destination. \Ye arrived there in December. 19[6, after an imprisonment o f more than tW Q

r ears. Garaison was a conce ntrati on ('amp of about a

thousand people: a few Germans , Bulgarians, Turks, Egyptians and people from all nations : even many Englis h, I ralian , and Frenc h women with their children who were married to Ger­mans, lived there. Garaison is an enormous old convent near the Spanish frontier, surrounded b~' high walls and guardeJ by a body of s')ldiers.

My parents, my two-year old sister and I arrived a long with a Sldoniki transport; m~'

father was put into a room with about one hundred twenty people of the Balkans, and we had to live with H ungarian and Bul garian women and children. Though we ca me fro:11 th e intense heat from ~ I adagaskar, without winter clothes, the French gave us only half a COttoll blanket and a st raw mattress full of vermin, and infected. Th is we lea rn ed when we were unable to s leep on ac­countofinnumerablelice, Aeas,and hugs, and when we became ill with scabies and nast), abscesses. \\Oe had to sleep on the ground and to hang the straw mattresses up on the wa ll in the morning at 7 o'clock. There was no srove, no fire, no light, all the long, dark winter. Th e snow came in through the many broken window panes. \\'e suffered intense l~' from the coLI. Th ree times a week we were all owed a walk, but this meant that we had to pace lip and down 4-00 yards in a country lane, up to our anklt:s in deep or melted snow, between a row of soldie rs with loaded guns. T he worst was t hat we had ro s tay there for one and a half hours which made li S dreadfully tired; we

were forbidden to dry the wet shoes and stockings

at t he window. So they never got dry at all. \\'e

felt terribly hungry all the tim e. The amount of

food we were entitl ed to was written down on a

notice board in the passage: a piece of bread

and black coffee in t he morning, half a pint of

soup or beans eac h for dinn er and supper. T hat

was all. Ye t very often we could not eat even

that. Th e beans were not half cO"Jked from lack of

fu el; to make up for it, handfuls of soja were put

into the mea ls which made us all ill. \\'e were not

all owed to draw any mone~' from our possessions

in i\ l adagaskar. Th ere were no wash basins and as t he women could not go out into the open court­yard, break the ice and wash in the presence of all t,", e men and as t hey had no lTI "J ner to buy basins anJ jugs, many o f them washed themselves hardl~' at all. Th e rest of our money had gone to buy plates and cups at horrible prices.

\\'as it to be wondered at, that the place behind the chu rch yard wall where the dead prisoners wert: interred was thronged? \\'hen after three months we could get the first box with clothes from our grandparents, m y parents and I were sick in the so-call ed hospital ( t here was no nurse) and my little sister had been buried three days before . The Frenc h did not release my mother, contra­dictory to their arrangements with Germany, until by intermediation of Switzerland we were permitted to go to Germany.

I t had been agreed between Germany and France that women and children , if they wished for it,should be repatriated. J\1y mother, in vain, applied for it. Th ough several female transports were leaving, we were ordered to stay when on th e point of starting, without being given any explanation. By intermediation of a Swiss dele­gation, who visited the prison camps, we finally got leave to quit France for Germany.

" .. ~--\\'ho has not, when he has driven out on a wind­

ing road that is a white ribbon stretched before him

in the moonlight, with the balmy night air in hi s face, fel t t he lure of the tropicsr

\\'here else, but the tropics, can one fold back

the automobi le top and ride in pt:rfcct comfort,

without wrap or rug, with naught but the starry sky and the moon overhead.

\\'hat a charm t here is to narrow streets with Old \\'orld buildings blended in soft pinks and

blues, and overhanging balconies; glimpses of

cool patios with exotic plants and an occasional

gorgeously colored bird; roads lined with feather~' cocon ut pa lms; hedges o f bright-hued hibiscus and sweet-sce nted jasmine and the vivid greens ever~'where!

The vcry atmosphere lulls the senses and creates an inciifl-erence to worry and petty cares which are apt to fret and irritate one in cooler climes. Noth­ing Seems of vast o r vital importance. The days slip by so easily and with so little effort, that if a thing isn't done today, "manana" will suffice. H uman nature loves ease and comfort which come so natu rally in the tropics. There is 110 worry of heavy clothing or laying in the wintt:r fuel; 11 0

long periods of staying in from the cold. Every day is a "good" daYi even the daily s howers in the rainy season are cooling and refreshing.

I t is difficult to anal~' zt: or express this lure in a definite way. I t is in itself so vague and subtle that it steals upon ~'ou and takes hold of ~tOU

unaware. But who, once he has exp~rienced it, wou ld leave it voluntaril)", or going, fail to return?

Andr~w D OIIOl'fW, '26.

Around the docks of the great cit~, cli ngs the faint, elusive perfume of the tropics. I t has been carried there by ships sailing from old nameless ports of the Spanis h !\lain-ships of romance and mystery, quiet ships frorll unknown passages and strange seas. I t is a perfume reminiscent of mallY things: of green jungles and sti ll waters, of brightly plumed birds, of ad venture and gold, and of-death. For it comes from a country where the Gods arc kind, and where death comes often. 'rhis perfum ~

lingers and penetrates t:vcn into the great iron city, tempting calling

The curia liS liste ner who wanders along the water side will hear many strange ta les from the uld sailors who si t in battt:red chai rs tipped against the great, grey walls of the wharf buildings. They tell o f ripp leless seas, and o f marv~lolis Stln sets, and o f earl~' morning in the jungle whe n the sk~'

seems to be shut out and gre~' mi sts hang about the bill owing t ree tops_ Th ey tell of men who laughed and took th e jungle trail, vanishing into the s tillness of its depths, of thei r e ll1pt~' ringing

laughter as they strode away- great stalwart men, drawn by the jungle quiet as if by a !odeston(;'. A.nei do the~' tell of the jo~'ous return? Ah, no, there was no joyous return, no heaps o f gold and tales of new kingdoms- the jungle peace holds its secrets forever. There are stories of phantom ships flying, with all sails set, across :1.

midnight sky and beckoning the sai lors to follow, 'til, one by one the~' go-sorrowful, homeless. figures with fixed, vacant eyes and closed lips.

Ah, these o ld sai lors have seen worse- they ha\re seen things they dare not spea k about, things which .;;ou nd ludic rous in the bright sunlight but which happened under the brooding skit'S o f the South. They light their stubby pipes and the pungent tobacco odor seems yet another link with the mysterious tropics.

One goes through the cobbled streets inro the iron cit)' and tries to forget all this but at night there is a tugging at one's heart. I t is the glamour of the tropics, d rawing drawing relentless.

THE VILEST INVENT IONS.

J/iMred Qliun) '26.

Now it came to pass that four wise men were gath ered together so that they might procl aim the vilest inven t ions of the age.

:\ nd the firs t wise ma n spoke, sa~' ing : " \ 'erily, I say LItHO ~ro u, o f all the fanta st ic and ev il dance steps, it seems to me that t he '.-\rgel1tine tango' is th e vilest on eart h."

Bu t t he second wise man gainsaid him, answer­ing: ,. 'T is t rue, but still more wicked and offend­ing is the 'fl ea hop.' "

An d the third wise man protested, saying : " \ 'erily, I say unto you, ' ti s ver~' vil e; b:'lt what

wou ldn't be vi l ~ with th e name of such a disagree­able insect! l\ ler hinks t he ' half turn' is the mos t

pro \roki ng of them al l. "

On the j\ lond:l.Y before Easter, the Seniors had a swimming party at T aboga Island. At eight o'clock, 16 en thusiastic Senior.:; m:: t at Picr 19, to take the Loat for Taboga. J\ l rs. Goodenow, and !\ Irs. Lowe went along as chaperones; and joll~' oneS they made, too!

T he party arri ved .:1t T aboga at 9.30, and went illllllediatel~' to the Aspinwall Hotel where the)' engaged a room to he used for resting and dress ing, and (or a place to put their numerous packages. Th en they strolled through the old vill age where ther explored the cllLlrch and even ciim bed the narrow, winding steps to the bell tower.

A.fter this littl e adventure, the group accepted the invitation of the Girl Reserves to vis it their ca mp and enjo~'ed the walk through the grove. At the camp the boys demonstrated to the admiring members of the opposite sex, their ability in climbing trees, and presellted t he party with pods of ice cream beans which tasted n~ r )' good . T hl! rest of the morning \\ as whiled awa~' in theatricals. The Seniors dramatized "Cinderella" under the direction of l\ lrs. GJodenow, tlrld the Senior Play Cast entertained hoth the campers and th eir own classmates with a comic burlesque, in .I amaican, of "A.dam and Enl" which the audier!ce sa id was excellenr.

:\t 12 o'clock the Seniors found th:u their hunger was hecoming \-er~ ' great so r h e~ ' returned to the ASll inwall where they procured their lunches and left for rhe hill in hal·k of the hotel. There they sat on the edges of an old cistern and enjoyed their d inner.

During the afternoon most of the party \\ ent sw imming at the sandbar. T he ones who did not go s trummed on ukeleles all afternoon and the patrons o f the Ho tel were serenaded with music whet her it was welcome or not.

T he party returned to Balboa at 10.30 after a moonlight ride over a rippling sea.

I t has alwa~'s been the custom for the teachers and the students to assemble in the patio and on the balconi es o f the school building the last day of school before the Christmas holida ys to si ng carols. On this occasion the parents and the friends who are interested are invited to attend ; there is always a great respon~e .

\"ieh the passing of time this old custom be­comes more and more dear, This year it was especiallr charming.

.'\ s usual Miss Currier had prepared a program of several numbers. J t opened with the entrance of the ver~' tiniest children in the grades bearing gifts for the poor to the Christmas tree in the middle of the patio. T hen the grades caroled through " Holy ~ight," " H ark, the H era ld Angels Sing," and the other old anthems. One class of very wee girls and hoys lisped through ".Away in a l\ Janger." At intervals ever~, thil1g became ver~'

quiet; then voices, faint as though far in the dis­tance, \\cre heard, grad uall y growing louder as the singers approached from a mom in the corner of the building.

T he H igh School Glee Cluhs assisted in the mUSI C.

Everyone was requested to sing the last h ~'l11n. T here was such a r~spnnse t hat the very air rang with the Christmas spirit.

During t he Grand ;\I:trch, which afforded as much hilarity to the spectators as it did to the participators, the tackiest COStumes were chosen by t he chaperones. Elea nor T omb, who went back some '20 ~'ems into th e past to achieve the startling eR'ect of her gown, and \\'i ldurr \\, illing who clearly betra~'ed his masculinity, in spite o f his fl apper d isguise, by wea ring men's gar ters to hold up ladies' silk stockings, excelled all other attempts at tackiness and carried oR- the pri7t's. El eanor's young heart was de lighted with a squeak ball oon, while the charmingly feminine \\ 'i ldu rr was aW;lrded a rattle to improve earh shini ng hour of amusement.

Th e rest of rhe evening after t he Grand i\larch was frolicked away in dancing with " night's Orchestra playing.

56 T H E ZON IAN.

The launch Idt the pier at eight-thirty. Pea­nuts and chewing gum were passed around. Two ukeleles, combined more or less harmoniously with eighty voices, furni shed the music for the voyage.

\Vhen the launch reached Taboga landing at the Aspinwall dock, there was a mad scramble for bathing suits and ca meras, these articles ha ving been secreted in the variolls nooks and crannies of the boat. Whil e the boys unloaded the eats, which consisted of hot dogs, rolls, and ice cream, the girl s walked up to the house which was set aside for the pi ckni ckers. :\ 5 everyone was hot and in a rather wilted conditi on as a result of such arduous duties, bathing suits were quickly donned and the party regathered at the dock .

There were rowboats waiting at the dock to take the bathers to the beach, all of which were soon filled-some, overfilled . One of the latter happened [0 have the unlucky 13 in it; naturally it swamped . As the boat was close to shore, everyone swam out so there were no casualties resulting. Upon n::aching shore, the shipwrecked passengers found that the excitement had caused a ninety pound corbina to leave the water via a native fi shing line, evidentl y preferring being caught than remaining in the water where there was so much commotion.

The water at the beach was fin e. Sand baths, voluntar~' and o therwise, toy cayucos and punts, and a ball , lent diversity to the dip. 1\ lan)" snapshots of man)" groups were taken and a " real good time was had by all" despite the fan that many were b~' this time su nburned to a beautiful su nset hue.

After the swim, the party went in rowboa ts back to the pi cnic house for luncheon. Here a big camp fire had bee n built over which the "dogs" were heated to suit the taste of t he eater. Leon Greene, the " Pres idump," (as he terms himself) of the Junior Class. presided over t he ice cream freezer. So it has yet to be determined wh ether all were sen'cd with t he dessert.

For tht' afternoon's en tertainment a dance was hdd in the :\ spinwa ll ballroom. Kn ight's fam­ous orchestra furnished livdy music and e\'c:r~'one

enjoyed the dancing. The time for departure arrived all too soon, and to the regret of the entire party the music ceased.

At five o'clock the part)' boarded the launch a nd Idt Taboga on the homewa rd journey. All

were 111 high spiri ts at the start but gralually subsided as the launch made its way through a rough sea. This caused quite a number of stu­dents and chaperones to succumb. :\11 occasional burst of song from some brave enthusiast, or a few chords enlivened the trip hom e.

The annual short-story contest among the Sophomores, J uniors, and Seniors, was held in the latter part of March. The short stories con­tributed by the s tudents were some of the best that ha ve ever been written by them. The English teachers; ~ l rs. :\. B. Goodenow; i\ l rs. \\'. A. Lawlor; J\ l iss 1\Iae Smith, the principal of the grades; and J\ l rs . Aberna th,', the eighth grade instructor, were the judges. They awarded the first fou r places to : " The Response, " by H attie Belle Rader; " Pancho Casti llo's Carnival ," by Charles Palacio; "The Cas tawa~'s," by Thomas Northrop; and last but not least " The Return," by Agnes \\'illoughby.
