Class  Poem 


We  sat  on  the  lawn  at  twilight. 

As  the  bells  were  ringing  their  call, 

And  the  moon  rose  over  the  city, 
Behind  the  gray  college  wall. 

We  saw  the  bright  lights  gleaming 

In  the  building  far  above 
Like  the  golden  memories  teeming 

Up  in  our  hearts  so  full  of  love. 

How  often,  oh,  how  often. 
In  the  days  that  had  gone  by. 

We  had  sat  on  that  lawn  at  twilight 
And  gazed  on  that  wall  and  sky! 

How  often,  oh,  how  often 

We  had  wished  in  our  first  year 

That  a  kindly  fate  would  bear  us  back 
To  our  distant  homes  so  dear! 

For  we  were  young  and  restless  then 
.\nd  our  li\es  were  full  of  care; 

.■\nd  the  Soph's  dark  frowns  upon  us 
Seemed  more  than  we  could  bear. 


But  during  the  years  that  foll.iwec 
Our  star  seemed  lucky  to  be. 

And  guided  us  safely  to  the  long- 
Sought  haven  of  dignity. 


How  often,  oh,  how  often 
We  were  called  of  haughty 

The  reason  for  which  wa 
Some  privilege  tinforc 


.\nd,  <.h.  that  long,  long  table 
In  the  rear  of  the  dining  hall! 

Surclv  we  could  not  help  but  talk 
.\  little  above  them  all. 

^'et.  sad  we  grew  when  first  we  heard 

Of  our  unfortunate  doom, 
I"(ir  we  were  now,  through  loss  of  one. 

Thirteen — that  number  of  gloom! 

"But  whv  not  change  traditions  old?" 
We  Seniors  cried  once  more  in  hope; 

"Thirteen  shall  caxise  our  fate  to  be 
A  class  with  hardships  fit  to  cope." 

And  so  we  sat  in  the  twilight 
Thinking  of  days  to  come — 

O!  our  dear  old  A'lma  Mater, 
Our  happy  college  home. 

And  far  in  the  hazy  distance 
On  that  lovely  night  in  May, 

We  saw  our  future  before  us 
As  clear  as  the  star's  bright  ray. 

So  there  as  we  gathered  in  twilight 

A  vow  to  each  made  we" 
Whate'er  in  the  future  might  happen, 

We'd  be  true  to  "C.    I",  f "

Class   History 


FIRST    YEAR 


SECOND   )'EAR 


ON  THAT  seventh  day  of  September, 
When  we  arrived  upon  the  campus, 
Ushered  to  a  room  so  vacant 
Wliich  had  ne'er  been  filled  since  May. 
Registration  being  over, 
We  began  upon  our  duty. 
Books  and  tablets,  ink  and  pencils 
Soon  were  all  in  our  possession. 
In  our  rooms  we  sat  in  silence : 
Sat  and  sat  and  tried  to  study, 
Still  upon  our  being  stealing 
Came  a  little  homesick  feeling; 
It  was  weird  and  so  uncanny. 
And  we  tried  to  overcome  it. 
Many  were  the  things  we  thought  of — 
Of  the  Latin  and  Mathematics 
That  we  all  were  soon  to  know. 
With  instruction  that  was  given 
By  Miss  Fisher  and  Miss  Pegram: 
They  had  classes  and  had  quizzes — 
Quizzes  that  we  all  did  dread. 
But  they  soon  were  to  be  over 
And  our  work  begun  again. 
Still  our  letters  made  us  homesick. 
Made  us  think  of  home  and  niuther 
As  we  often  sat  and  pondered. 
And  the  upper-classmen  hooted 
At  us  for  our  queer  behavior, 
With  ojr  eyes  as  red  as  berries, 
And  our  cheeks  all  flushed  and  swollen. 
Would  those  Freshmen  days  be  over? 
Would  we  e'er  get  our  diplomas? 
For  those  long  nine  months  we  wondered 
'Til  our  Freshman  days  were  over — 
But  we  had  not  our  diplomas. 


At  the  earliest  signs  of  Autumn 

We  all  started  back  to  college. 

Not  as  in  our  Freshmen  year. 

For  we  now  could  look  and  say: 

"We  were  in  your  place  one  day." 

Many  faces  we  did  see — 

New  and  old,  some  sad,  some  gay: 

But  of  our  noble  ten  and  five 

Only  eleven  stood  by  our  side. 

Still  was  added  to  our  class 

Five,  all  from  the  Freshman  Class: 

Maud  and  Linnie,  Winnie  and  May, 

Also  Myrtle,  we  were  glad  to  say. 

Then  our  work  began  in  earnest : 

Not  on  old  work  we  had  finished. 

Not  that  mastered  and  forgotten. 

But  on  new  work  we  begun — 

Math,  and  Chemistry  battles  were  won. 

Also  "Letter  Writing"  and  "Themes" 

Seemed  predominant  in  all  our  dreams. 

Two  sets  of  exams,  had  passed — 

Passed,  but  they  were  not  forgotten. 

Never  would  be  in  our  memory ; 

For  always  will  linger,  linger 

Apparitions  of  those  questions. 

Kven  Bible  came  to  haunt  us. 

All  the  Judges  and  the  Kings 

By  us  had  to  all  be  learned ; 

Oh,  the  French,  and  oh,  the  German 

That  stood  gazing  at  us  nightly 

As  we  studied,  studied,  studied. 

Just  preparing  for  our  "finals!" 

When  at  last  they  came  upon  us 

After  waiting,  waiting,  waiting. 

We  were  glad  to  see  them — over. 

As  we  every  one  had  passed.

THIRD   YEAR 


FOURTH   \'EAR 


We  knew  now  just  what  was  coming, 

When  our  short  three  months  had  ended, 

That  we  all  must  work  and  study 

From  September  to  the  ending. 

But  our  president,  alas! 

Came  not  back  unto  our  class. 

She  was  gone,  but  not  forgotten: 

And  the  presidency  fell 

Upon  Julia's  willing  shoulders. 

Great  things  now  were  soon  to  happen. 

For  wc  all  were  introduced 

To  William  Shakespeare,  and  to  Spencer. 

Shakespeare  treated  us  more  royal 

By  performing  for  us  all 

Flays  that  all  of  us  had  studied. 

Studied  and  had  all  enjoyed. 

Also  a  bazaar  was  to  be  given 

By  the  two  societies. 

Which  meant  work,  and  also  pleasure 

From  which  quite  a  sum  was  measured. 

Maud  Powell,  also,  with  her  violin, 

Left  us  all  in  poet's  fancy. 

Left  us  all — but  we  recovered. 

For  our  Senior  banquet  followed. 

To  the  Senior  class  was  given 

Little  souvenir  diplomas, 

And  each  faculty  member  found 

Carnations  scattered  all  around. 

Soon  we  all  were  called  to  witness 

In  Mrs.  Robertson's  private  office. 

All  with  fear  and  trembling  came 

With  swimming  heads  and  puzzled  brains 

But  when  we  were  said  to  be 

Marshals  during  the  Commencement 

We  were  satisfied,  delighted 

With  the  happy  prospects  coming. 

Oh.  that  long,  long  month  of  April 

With  its  many  hours  of  study 

Seemed  as  it  would  ne'er  be  over. 

Ne'er  would  ever  come  vacation. 

Soon  examinations  came — 

Exams,  that  puzzled  all  our  brains; 

But  when  they  came  to  an  end 

We  were  all  glad  to  begin 

To  place  our  books  upon  the  shelf 

And  leave  all  for  our  vacation. 


Soon  again  we  leave  the  breezes. 

Leave  the  welcome  warmth  of  Summer, 

Leave  the  memory  of  the  moonlight 

All  behind  us — past,  forgotten. 

We  are  now  again  in  college : 

On  our  fourth  year's  work  have  entered. 

Often  to  look  back  and  think  of 

Classes  cut  and  not  remembered ; 

Then  our  privileges  are  given 

Which  we  all  are  to  enjoy. 

But,  alas!  one  of  our  number 

Has  to  bid  the  class  adieu. 

How  we,  everyone,  do  miss  her 

As  we  all  sit  at  the  table 

Looking  at  her  chair  so  empty 

Which  cannot  again  be  filled. 

Soon  Trinity  Glee  Club  comes. 

Gives  a  concert  for  our  annual. 

And  they  all  help  us  along 

With  our  great  big  undertaking. 

But  with  all  these  lovel)'  pastimes 

We  have  everything  to  haunt  us: 

Science,  Math.,  Astronom\-. 

Latin  and  sweet  Philosophy — 

They  all  try  so  hard  to  kill  us. 

But  through  all  we  have  survived. 

And  we  looked  for  our  vacation 

Which  all  Senior  Classes  get. 

Now  we've  won  all  of  our  battles. 

All  our  themes  and  work  are  done. 

And  we've  stood  those  dreaded  "  finals  "- 

"  Finals"  and  we  all  have  won. 

Now  we  laugh  as  we  remem'ber 

All  the  troubles  we  did  see. 

And  at  last  has  come  commencement 

And  we're  happy,  gay.  and  free. 

But  we  hate  to  leave  this  college — 

Hate  to  leave  its  campus  green — 

Hate  to  leave  its  grand  old  Chapel 

Where  so  many  times  we've  been. 

But  we  wait  now  for  our  "  slieejiskins" 

That  each  one  of  us  desire. 

With  the  date  "May.  igi  i  " 

And  our  names  engraved  thereby. 

An  MR  WooDi-Ev.

Funeral  Oration  Over  the  Senior  Books 

Friends,  schoolmates  and  seniors,  Itud  nic  your  ears. 

The   good   that   books   do   lives   after   them ;   the   evil   is   oft   interred    with 
their  backs.     Therefore,  we  bury  our  books. 

The  noble  Math,  hath  taught  us  to  be  subtile;  if  it  were  not  so,  it  was  a 
grievous  fault  because  that  is  why  we  have  studied  it. 

Our  beloved  history  was  our  friend,  faithful  and  just,  livini;  in  liope  to  the 
very  last  of  making  us  wise — but  was  disappointed. 

Philosophy  hath  been  the  source  of  many  w-retched  hours;  it  hath  failed  to 
make  us  deep;  therefore  we  are  unable  to  deeply  grieve  at  bidding  it  farewell. 

English  hath  made  us  able  to  contend;  therefore  we  shall  contend  with  any 
who  objects  to  burying  him. 

Science  hath  oft  put  our  lives  in   jeoi)ardy  ;  but   with   grateful   liearts   for 
what  she  hath  taught  us,  we  inter  her. 

Last,  but  not  least,  oil  most  loved  Latin,  do  we  speak  of  thee.     We  all  do 
mourn  for  thee  ami  ni)t  without  cause. 

But  we  have  cume  tn  bur\   budks.  not  tn  praise  them. 

Some  books  are  to  be  tasted,  others  to  be  swallowed,  some  few  to  be  chewed 
and  digested,  but  all  of  these  are  the  kind  to  be  buried. 

Here  are  tears   for  our   English,   Math,   and   Science ;   joy    for  our   Latin ; 
honor  for  our  History,  but  death   for  all. 

Winnie  Bkiiton.

Senior  Class  Prophecy 


"'Wl'II.  it  it  ain't  tlu-  yoiiii!^'  niistus:  has  you  cciiiic  hume  tu  stay,  hdiiey?"' 

"Why.  Aunt  Mai'sjarct !"  1  cried,  springing  out  of  the  hammock  and  hasten- 
ing to  the  side  of  my  old  nurse. 

"Yes,  Mammy.  I  have  come  home  to  stay,  and  how  good  it  seems  to  see  my 
old  Mammy  again!     I  was  just  thinking  of  you." 

"Aunt  Margaret,  do  you  reniemher  how  you  used  to  turn  a  colTec  cup  and 
tell  me  of  the  wonderful  things  that  you  saw  in  the  grounds?  Well,  I  have  been 
thinking  of  my  classmates  all  the  afternoon  and  wondering  where  fate  has  placed 
diem,  and  I  had  just  thought  of  going  and  asking  you  to  read  the  coffee  grounds 
wlicn  you  appeared.     Will  you  do  it  for  mo?" 

"I'.aws  a-mas.sey.  honey,  1  hasn't  tu'ned  a  cup  iu  a  spell,  liut  I'll  do  anything 
to  please  you,  missey." 

'"Oh,  thank  you.  Mammy!"  1  cried,  "then  let  us  go  to  the  kitchen."  I 
led  the  way  to  the  kitchen,  brought  out  some  coffee  and  watche<l  old  Mammy 
make  a  cup  and  drink  it ;  then  she  sat  down  o])posite  me  and  turned  the  cup  so 
as  to  see  the  grounds. 

"Honey,"  she  said,  "the  fust  thing  I  ^ee  i^  a  great  big  crowd  of  folks 
a-list'ning  to  a  ladv  a-singing.  She's  a  mighty  |)urty  little  lady,  with  light  curly 
hair  ami — " 

"<  )]i,  that's  li'ntli.  Mammy."  I  interrupted  her:  "I  was  confident  she  would 
be  a  ]irinia  doima — in  fact,  she  was  the  only  one  iu  the  class  who  could  sing 
at  all.     What  do  you  see  next?" 

"Well,  here  a  great  big  building:  looks  like  it  niiglit  lie  ;i  college,  :uid  on 
one  ob  de  doors  is  writ  a  great  big  wind  bei;inuing  with  a  I'  and  a-endiug  with 
a  S;  what  you  reckon  dat  is.  honey '^  .\ud  a-down  at  the  bottom  is  writ, 
Pro-fes-ser   n-a-r-n-well," 

"I'sycliology,  Mammy,"  I  cried,  then  I   reiuenibered  Mary's  favorite  verse: 


Mothinks  thai  ihi-rt 
-No  concord  witli  I*. 


ftl>idcs  in  n 
-chi>l-o-v^^." 


the    cu] 


and   wondered  .nt  the  inconsistency  of  fate, 

"Tlie    next    picture.    Mammy   continued,    turnin 
with    :i   young   lady   a-feeding   a   brood   of   chicken< 
turnips:  guess  it's  her  husband;  and.  honey,  this  ladv  has 
o'  skirt,  all  gethered  in  tight  at  the  bottom," 

"That's  Annie,"  1  explained,  "for  she  couldn't  possibU'  have  won 
all  her  hobbles  yet."  Mammy  paid  no  attention  to  ni\-  interruption,  but 
tinned  in  a  slow,  droning  voice: 


"is  a  farmvard. 
old  man  a-hoeing 
n   the  iiuarest   kind 


"I  ^i-f  Iwn  luclics."  she  said,  "wild  peer  tn  lie  a-yniiig  about  lecturing  and 
a-handing  i>ut  little  slips  with  some  kinil  of  'votes'  writ'  on  them." 

"Look  good.  Mammy."  I  cried,  "isn't  it  'X'otes  for  Women'?" 

"I  sho"  believes  you's  right,  honey;  yes.  yer  is.  and  dese  here  two  ladies  am 
both  kinder  tall  and  one  of  them  has  light  hair  and  "tother  one  middling  dark." 

"Alice  and  Winnie.  Mammy.  I  am  not  .surprised,  for  thev  were  alwavs 
imagining  thev  were  being  down-trodden,  and  both  believetl  firnilv  in  \\'oman's 
."Suffrage." 

"Wal.  honey,  this  next  |iicture  peers  to  l)e  a  lady  laming  folks  how  to 
dance." 

"(  )h  !"  1  cried. 


Dancing   was   always   Myrtle's   forte. 

Mammy   turned   the  cup   slowdy    fnnu   side   U>   side   Ijefore   speaking  a.gain. 

"I  see  a  little  cabin."  she  said,  "'way  off  yonder  in  the  mountains,  with  a 
perty  little  black-headed  lady  a-setting  in  the  door  a-peeling  apples,  or  niav  lie 
it's  taters.  and  there's  smoke  a-comin'  out  of  the  chimney  and — " 

"Hiinl  liv  a  c.ittiigo  cliimm.v  siu.iko.l 
From   lii'twixt    two  aflcii  cmks." 

1  quoted  hlitlu-ly:  "Linnie  was  always  fond  uf  house  work.  "What  is 
ne.xt.  Mammy?" 

"Praise  tie  land."  ejaculated  mamnn-.  "1  can't  make  nothing  outeii  ob  dis 
next  one:  looks  like  she  mought  lie  a-advcrtising  some  of  dein  things  what 
makes   folks  thin." 

"Isn't  there  a  name  near  it?"  1  asked. 

"Yes."  said  Mammy.  "There's  I'.-a-t-t-I-e."  She  spelled  the  word,  all  the 
while  shaking  her  head  doubtfully. 

''I  might  have  known  it  was  Leone."  I  cried,  "for  ^he  is  the  onlv  nue  in  the 
class  who  could  possibly  illustrate  that  ]iicture." 

"The  next."  .said  Mammy,  turning  the  cii]i  u\i  and  peering  into  its  de].)tli 
with   fascinating  eyes,  "is — " 

''What  is — "     i'lUt  before  I  hail  time  to  ask  she  cried  out  in  amazement: 

"Honey,  fo  de  land's  sake  I  If  liit  ain't  ,i  hiil\  with  sunie  monkevs.  Peers 
lak  she  be  a  tryin'  to  larn  them  to  do  tricks." 

"No,  Mammy."  1  cried,  "she  is  trying  to  cultivate  llieir  mental  faculties  to 
such  a  degree  that  they  may  be  able  to  tell  her  uhjcli  niic  uf  her  ancestors  thev 
happen  to  be.  It  is  so  strange  that  Julia  was  the  only  nue  in  oui-  class  whii 
believed  in  the  theory  of  evolution." 

"Laws,  honey,  do  fo  de  land's  sake."  expostulated  .M;miiiiy.  "stup  ]irattling 
of  theerys  ob  lutions.  what  eber  dey  be.  for  wliat  dey  got  to  do  with  monkevs 
I  can't  see.  but  I  <lo  see  "nother  picter  in  dcse  here  grounds,  that  looks  jest 
to  suit  me.  honex-.  Mere's  a  big  black-headed  lady  a-lamming  a  little  bit  of  a 
man  ober  de  head;  now  1  laks  to  see  dese  here  m'aii  folks  get  tuck  doxvn  onct 
and  a  while." 

"Why.  Mammy."  I  laughed,  "you  had  ln'tter  nut  let  I'ncle  Muse  hear  \oii 
express  your  sentiments  so  freeh." 

"I.aw^s.  Iionev.  1  'pects  he's  barn'  em  'efme  now;  but  who  vou  reckon  this 
hereladvbe?" 


"Oh.  that's  May.     I  recognize  her  iloniineering  spirit." 

But  Mammy  had  already  turned  the  cup  and  \va.s  mtently  studymg  the 
groimds.  Before  I  had  said  the  first  word,  she  seemed  doubtful  as  to  the  mean- 
ing of  what  she  saw.  and  turned  the  cup  first  on  one  side  and  then  on  the  other. 
Finally  she  exclaimed  in  horrified  amazement; 

•■'Mussey!  Goodness;  dese  here  must  be  can-i-balls. !  I'd  sho  hate  to  be  dat 
lady  what  looks  like  she  war  a  laming  'em  I  What  is  it.  honey,  you  call  dem 
folks  dat  larns  de  hathans?"  ...  ,, 

"Missionaries.  Mammy."  1  cried. ^  "How  true  that  picture  i-.  tor  we  all 
knew  Huldah  would  be  a  missionary." 

•■Wal,  honey,  I'm  just  glad  it  ain't  me."  Mammy  exclaimed.  1  hen  she 
peered  deep  into  the  cup  again  and  broke  into  a  low  chuckle: 

"Laws,  dis  here  lady  sho'  am  a-foolin'  dese  here  fellers  a  flirtin'  and  a-flut- 
terin'  ob  her  fan  ;  she  sho'  am  doing  it  parfection." 

"Handle  your  fans! 
Unfurl  your  fans! 
Discharge  your  fans! 
Ground  your  fans! 
Recover  your  fans! 
Flutter  your  fans! 

1  cried;  "Maude  must  have  overlooked  the  fact  that  .\ddison  intended  that  for 
a  satire,  if  .she  has  adopted  it  to  display  as  the  one  accomijlishment  of  a  society 
girl.  I  wonder  if  she  has  accomplished  the  most  diflicult  feat  of  all.  the  crack 
of  the  fan,  or  if  she  is  too  much  of  an  amateur  in  the  art  to  have  attained  to 
so  high  a  degree  of  excellence  vet." 

"Stop,  honey,"  Mammy  interrupted.  "1  don't  kn.nv  that  Mr.  .\ddison  you 
be  a-talkin'  'liout.  so  I  am  goin'  on   with  my  pictures." 

"But  that  is  all.  Maninix ."  1  cried,  "unless  you  will  read  mine.  Will  you. 
Mammy?" 

"I'sho'  would,  honey."  she  cried,  "but  I'se  afered  you  mought  net  like  what 
1  see." 

"Oh.  no.  Mammy,"   1  cried.     "1   will  bear  the  consetiuences. 

"No,  honey;  you  done  got  your  life  'efore  you.  and  1  ain't  gwine  to  spile 
it  with  none  of  di's  here  foolishness."  said  Mammy,  "and  1  speets  I  liad  better 
go  'long  home  efore  that  old  Mose  gits  dare,  so  good-by.  honey." 

"Why.  Mammy."  1  laughe<l.  "I  thought  you  did  not  pay  attention  t..  L'ncle 
Mose?" 

"Oh,  shucks,"  came  kick  through  the  open  door.  And  laughingly  I  turned 
toward  the  house,  feeling  as  all-wise  as  if  I  had  jiwt  had  a  visit  from  the 
Delphian  Oracle.

History  of  the  Junior  Class 

XS    the    beginning    we    were    created     I'reshnien    and    tlie    l'"re--linien    were 
ymiMi;  and  verdant. 
And  the  Freshmen  were  scary  because  the  Sophomores  were  so  domi- 
neeriiiL;.     So  the  Freshmen  went  down  town  to  l<eep  out  of  the  way  of  the  Sophs. 

r.iit  the  people  of  Greensboro  would  cast  peculiar  glances  at  the  G.  F. 
Freshmen.  The  town  boys  would  yell  out  "(].  F.  I'"reshies"  as  tliey  passed. 
Then  the  Freshmen  would  wonder  if  green  jiaint  had  been  usei!  on  tlieir  faces 
instead  of  red. 

And  at  dinner  the  .^o])homores  laugheil  at  the  I'^reshmen.  Then  the  Fresh- 
men wept  bitterly  and  tlie  l-'aculty  said.  "lie  patient,  my  child,  the  green-ness 
will  wear  off." 

And  Ruth  Coltrane  was  our  president. 

September  did  come  and  the  I'reshmen  were  no  longer  I'reshnien  but 
Sophomores.  The  Freshmen,  like  the  lea\'es,  had  left  off  their  coat  of  green 
and  had  put  on  one  of    many  colors. 

The  Sophomores  had  a  class-meeting  and  l-'.rma  Stevens  wa^  made  their 
president. 

Anil   the   Sophomores   were   stern   and   sagacious. 

In  that  year  we  were  taught  h<iw  to  speak  in  I'rench  and  ( ierman  and 
our  brilliance  astonished  the  Faculty. 

The  heads  of  tlie  Sophs  enlarged  to  such  a  degree  that  the  I''acultv  reasoned 
among  themselves  .saying,  "Let  us  consult  a  specialist  in  order  that  x\  e  niav 
find  out  what  has  so  rapidly  developed  the  grey  matter  of  the  ."sophomore 
class,  for  last  year  they  were  ignorant;  this  year  thev  are  as  wi^e  a^  the 
average  jicrson." 

And  within  a  hun<h-eil  days  they  returned  to  (1.  1".  as  junior--.  (  )ften  in  the 
afterncjous,  the  Juniors,  with   i.'ennie  Grithn  as  their  jjresident.  did  -e!l  ice  cream. 

And  it  came  to  pass  tliat  on  a  certaui  day  the  teacher  of  tlie  .\iial\lic 
Geometry  L'lass  met  them  and  she  said  unto  the  lirst  :  "llow  nian\  hasl  tiion 
worked :'" 

.And  the  first  girl  answered  lier,  saying: 

"Thou  didst  give  us  one  page  and  I  have  gotten  none." 

.And   likewise  she   said   unto  the   sect)nd : 

"llow  many  hast  thou  worked'"   .\nil  tlie  second  answered  her: 

"Thou  gavest  unto  us  fifteen  problems  and   I  have  gotten  none." 

Then  they  all,  with  one  consent,  began  to  make  excuses.  One  .said,  "1 
W(  irked  for  two  hours  and  accomplished  not  hing,  therefore ,  I  pray  t  bee ,  excuse  me. ' ' 

.Another  said.  "I  was  invited  to  a  feast  and  therefore  I  jiray  thee,  excuse  me," 

.\nd  then  tlie  teacher  was  wroth  and  said  unto  us: 

"M.isl  (hoii  sluched  Analytics  this  long  and  canst  not  work  these"  \  erilw 
verily.   I   s:iy   unto  thee,  unless  thou  gettest  to   work,  thou   sh:dt   sureh'   llnuk." 

And  in  the  course  of  time  the  Juniors  gave  a  reception  to  the  .Srniois  and 
Faculty.  And  the  Juniors  were  glad  in  their  hearts  for  they  knew  that  souie 
day  they  would  be  Seniors  and  would  be  entertained. 

It  came  to  pass  that  commencement  came  and  the  Juniors  did  marshal. 
And  they  became  dignified  for  they  reasoned  within  themselves,  saving:  "We. 
in  the  near  future,  will  be  ,Seniors.  W'e.  then,  must  be  an  exani|)le.  tlierefore. 
we  must  be  dignified." 

.\ow  is  past  the  l'"reslinian.  Sophomore  and  Junior  years,  but  the  greatest 
of  these  is  the  Junior.  Fk.ma  Sti;vi;ns,  'ij.

Prophecy  of  the  Junior  Class 

i^w^Y   slunil)cr>   last   night   were  Ijniken   by   strange  and   titfnl   dreams.     ( )ne 

^JL^  (it   these  made  a  lasting  impression  on  me,  and  while  it  is  still   fresh  in 

my  memory   I  shall  endeavor  to  impart  it  to  \iiii,  mv   fellow  elassmates. 

(  )f  cinirse,  you  remember  the  very  important  faet  that  we  are  now  Juniors, 
and  next  year  we  will  have  all  the  honors  and  dignities  which  are  always  thrust 
upon  Seniors.  My  dream  bears  upon  this  grave  and  weighty  matter.  lie 
patient,  classmates !  Will  you  all  please  cease  your  everlasting  chatter  until  I 
can  finish?  Remember  that  all  things  come  to  those  who  wait,  and  if  you  will 
exercise  a  sufficient  degree  of  patience  you  shall  surely  receive  all  that  is  coming 
to  you. 

My  dream  began  with  our  reunion  at  dear  old  G.  F.  C,  in  the  niontli  of 
September,  191 1.  Of  course,  being  Seniors,  we  had  many  responsibilities  and 
we  were  very  busy  managing  things  and  getting  the  school  all  settled  for  a  )ear 
of  hard  work.  Our  |jresi(lent  was,  you  may  readily  know,  our  leader.  We 
had  right  much  difficulty  in  getting  all  the  girls  settled  in  their  rooms,  but  we 
finally  adjusted  them  satisfactorily,  and  turned  to  find  graver  questions  before  us. 

Mrs.  Robertson  rushed  to  our  president  the  very  first  dav  with  a  request  to 
go  down  the  street.  After  due  consideration  she  decided  to  allow  her  to  go, 
provided  that  she  kept  out  of  drug  stores  and  moving  picture  shows. 

Another  member  of  the  class  was  busily  shopping  when  she  was  forced  to 
stop  and  chaperone  Miss  Fisher,  Miss  Pegrani,  and  Miss  Dozier  in  the  drug 
store.     Little  interruptions  of  this  sort  were  very  annoying  to  us. 

Miss  Jones  insisted  on  spending  the  night  out  of  her  room  and  being  on  the 
halls  so  late  that  we  were  compelled  to  give  her  three  black  marks,  and  after 
a  long  and  tiresome  class  meeting  we  decided  to  campus  her  until  Christmas. 

Mr.  Clarke,  in  his  eagerness  for  advancement,  gave  the  poor  Juniors  entirely 
too  much  work  and  wc  were  obliged  to  attend  to  this.  We  allowed  him  to  give 
them  only  what  they  desired  to  do  after  that,  which  was  not  verv  much,  for 
they  were  not  nearly  so  studious  as  the  great  class  of   191 2. 

And,  girls,  another  thing  we  did  was  to  cut  out  the  usual  number  of 
recitals,  which  Mr.  Kraft  had  heretofore  insisted  upon  having.  We  allowed 
him  to  have  very  few  and  we  gave  the  poor  imder  classmen  a  longer  reception 
after  each  one. 

We  thought  at  first  that  Miss  Stancil  was  going  to  give  us  a  little  trouble 
over  not  keeping  her  room  in  perfect  order,  but  we  sunn  had  lier  in  tlic  habit 
and  she  bothered  us  no  more. 

Girls,  we  were  all  just  having  a  good  time  ruling  tilings,  and  the  good 
work  was  going  on  splendidly,  but  just  as  I  started  to  tell  Miss  Mitchell,  not 
to  give  the  girls  any  gymnastic  exercises,  the  rising  bell  rung  and  I  awoke,

Class  of  '13 


CUK  history  of  our  class  shoukl  be  rciuarkablc,   for  we  consider  ourselves 
as   the   most  liighly   honored  class  in  the  college.     Aside   from   the   fact 
that  we  will  be  the  tirst  class  to  graduate  from  Greensboro  Female  Col- 
lege in  a  hicl<-bringing  year  of  'i  ^,  we  will  aNo  be  the  first  class  to  tinisli  under 
the  new  course.      In   fact,  the  |los^ibilities  of  our  class  are  great. 

'I'liat  most  important  body,  tlie  class  of  '13.  was  organized  in  the  feill  of 
ii)Oi).  when  we  ninnbered  nine  Freshmen.  Our  record  for  the  first  rear  was 
liisc  tliat  of  most  Freshman  classes,  not  marked  by  any  special  event. 

When  we  came  back  in  the  fall  of  1910  we  were  very  highly  elated  over 
being  .Sophomores.  Ijut.  w'hen  we  had  a  class  meeting  and  found  that  only  five 
of  us  were  back,  we  were  rather  disa]>pointed.  However,  as  soon  as  we  began 
work  we  forgot  our  sorrow  at  losing  our  ckissmates.  and  are  n.iw  looking  for- 
ward to  lieing  alloweil   to  put  an   .\.l!.  alter  our  names  in   the   vear  '13.

History  of  the  Freshman  Class 

iw^HAT  seems  to  be  the  most  important  time  of  our  lives  is  when  we  are 
vly  aljoi't  to  leave  home  for  college.  Oh.  how  large  the  name  college  sounds! 
^^^  l!ut  the  greatness  seems  to  diminish  when  the  time  really  comes  and  we 
have  to  say  good-by  to  mother  and  all  our  friends.  Some  of  us  are  also  tempted 
to  return  home  before  our  journey  is  ended ;  but  no.  we  must  not  fail,  and  will 
not. 

Well,  September  14.  1910.  found  fifteen  humo-sick  I'rcshmen  in  Greensboro 
Female  College.  Kverybody  else  seemed  to  know  everybody  else  and  how 
happy  they  were  to  greet  their  old  friends !  We  poor  little  Freshmen  had 
nothing  to  do  but  stand  in  the  corner  and  look  on.  Although  it  was  below  our 
dignity  to  suck  our  thumbs,  we  felt  like  it.  W'e  had  heard  all  kinds  of  tales  of 
how  the  Sophomores  would  "haze."  but  tliey  must  have  taken  ])ity  on  our  forlorn 
looks,  for  nothing  of  the  kind  happened.  .Sn  the  tirst  night  we  managed  to 
get  along  very  well. 

Next  morning  it  was  announced  at  breakfast  that  classification  would  begin 
at  nine  o'clock.  \\'ith  fear  and  trembling  we  marched  from  room  to  room 
feeling  each  moment  that  the  worst  was  yet  to  come.  However,  in  a  week  our 
little  heads  were  settled  down  to  hard  work.  Now  in  our  dreams  we  fight 
Aeneas  with  planes  and  solids.  Then.  too.  it  seems  necessary  to  translate  all 
our  English  History  from  I'rench  into  German.     Such  is  the  path  to  knowledge ! 

One  day  a  call  meeting  of  the  Freshman  class  was  announced.  We  proudly 
marched  to  the  history  room,  for  this  was  to  be  the  beginning  of  a  great  epoch 
in  our  lives.  The  first  question  was.  "who  shall  be  our  president?"  Each  girl 
felt  that  all  fourteen  of  the  others  were  capable  of  filling  this  place  of  honor, 
but  Lucy  lielle  Totten  was  unanimously  elected.  Then  Jeannette  Pearce  was 
elected  vice-president  and  Ruby  Elliott,  secretary  and  treasurer.  We  chose 
blue  and  white  as  our  class  color  and  the  sweet-pea  as  our  fiower. 

Soon  the  Christmas  holidays  came  and  passed,  and  once  again  we  were 
back,  but  by  no  means  with  the  same  feeling  we  hail  i>n  entering,  vet  we 
were  the  same  .shy  little  lambs. 

And  then  examinations?  How  diil  we  ever  manage  to  survive  tlnough 
that  week  of  torture?  Well,  we  stuck  our  heads  tnirether  and  succeeded  in 
hovering   around   the   passing  mark. 

Commencement  passed  off  with  a  flourisli.  .\gain  the  F'reshmen  had  to 
take  a  back  seat,  for,  of  course,  the  Seniors  led  tlie  day.  lint  we  were  feeling 
our  size  rather  much,  for  then  our  names  had  been  changed  to  Sophomores. 

-At  the  end  of  four  years,  if  we  survive  to  realize  it,  we  expect  to  have  a 
B.A.  attached  to  our  names.  Truly  we  have  to  work  dreadfully  hard  for  a 
degree  whose  letters  are  just  the  beginning  of  the  aljihabet.  X-Z  would  sound 
more  as  if  we  had  finished  something. 

Here's  hoping  that  the  class  of  1914  may  remain  united  and  leave  an 
unexcelled  record  in  Greensboro  Female  College.

Hidden   Treasures 

"Oh,  Billy,  tliey  have  come,  and  they  are  moss  this  time." 

Rose  Lambert  held  out  before  her  a  large  florist's  box. 

"What  has  come?"  a^Ued  Billy  Barnes,  a  look  of  svirprise  on  his  usually 
composed  face. 

"Why,  Bill,  the  flowers,  from  my  unknown  admirer.  Don't  you  know  that 
today  is  my  birthday?" 

Then  seeing  the  distressed  look  on  his  face  she  added  more  softly  :  "Yes. 
Billy,  I  know  that  you  remembered  it.  I  got  your  flowers  this  morning  and  they 
are  just  as  sweet  as  can  be.     Thank  you.  so  much." 

"But  look  here."  she  went  on,  again  becoming  deeply  absorbed  in  the 
mystery  of  the  flowers.     "Look  what  is  on  the  card  this  time: 

"  'He  that  sweetest  rose  will  find,  must  find  love's  prick  and  Rosalind.'  " 

"Who  do  you  suppose  it  is,  Billy?"  and  Rose  asked  him  as  if  she  expected 
Billy  to  answer  when  she  knew  well  he  could  do  no  such  thing. 

"If  I  suggest  anyone  whom  I  know,  you  would  laugli  at  the  idea  and  assure 
me  that  I  am  the  biggest  goose  in  the  world,  that  I  haven't  a  particle  of 
sentiment  and  romance  in  my  heart."  .\nd  Billy  mockingly  placed  Iiis  liand 
over  the  guilty  organ.  "Whom  shall  I  suggest  this  time?  Your  last  siunmer's 
catch  at  Buffalo?" 

"Now,  Billy,  you  know  perfectly  well  tliat  that  man  is  like  you  in  that 
he  never  would  think  of  anything  romantic  in  his  life.  Why,  I  have  thought 
of  this  man,  my  unknown  lover,  so  much  that  I  know  exactly  wliat  he  will  look 
like,  the  kind  of  eyes  he  will  have,  a  gentle  expression  and — " 

"Spare  me,  spare  me,  Rose!  You  thrust  the  knife  deeper  in  with  each 
phrase!  Why,  my  last  six  years'  efi'orts  seem  lost  when  you  sum  up  tliis  man's 
virtues.  I  can  never  hope  to  reach  it.  .'\nd  when  I  lose  hope.  Rose.  I  shall 
stop."  There  was  mockery  in  his  first  "Spare  me,"  but  not  a  trace  of  it  when 
he  said,  "when  I  lose  hope.  Rose." 

"Billy,  dear,  forgive  me.  I  didn't  mean  to  hurt  you,  but  you  know  I 
have  always  said  that  there  must  be  something  romantic  about  my  love  affair, 
that  I  will  not  marry  a  man  who  simply  walks  up  and  says,  "I  want  you,  I  need 
you.  You  must  marry  me ;  come  on  !'  "  Then  seeing  the  pained  expression  again 
in  her  friend's  face,  "Pardon  me,  Billy,  I  really  forgot.  But  you  cannot  know  how 
very  much  this  little  bit  of  the  unusual  has  meant  to  me  who  have  always  been 
surrounded  bv  the  most  practical  people  in  world.  Look  at  father.  He  is 
grand,  and  the  dearest  fatlier  any  girl  ever  had.  but  you  know,  as  well  as  I, 
he  would  not  know  a  romance  if  one  should  walk  bodily  into  his  office.  Wliy. 
he  laughs  heartily  every  year  I  show  him  tlie  roses.  .\nd  you,  I'.illy.  don't 
seem  half  so  interested  as  you  might."

"Interested!  I  am  all  interest  I  I  can  tell  you  the  kind  of  flowers  and  the 
verses  in  eacli  basket  ever  since  they  lirst  came.  The  first  were  'American 
I'.eauties,'  and  the  card  read  simply  'For  Rosalind.'  Is  that  right?  The  second 
were  Marechal  Xeil.  and  the  verse.  'Go.  ])retty  rose.  Go  to  my  fair,  i'nt  tell  her 
all  I   fain  would  dare.'  " 

"(jo  on.     You   are  progressing  beautifully  I" 

"Last  year  they  were  Cherokees.  did  you  say  ?  and  the  verse  was  something 
frcini    Thomas  Hood.     Let's  see.     How  did  it  read? 

■J  will  not  have  the  mad  Clytie. 
Whose  head  is  turned  by  the  sun; 
The  tulip  is  a  courtly  queen. 
Whom  therefore  I  will  shun: 
The  cowslip  is  a  courtly  wench, 
The  violet  is  a  nun — 
But  I  will  woo  the  dainty  Rose, 
The  queen  of  e\'ery  one' 

"W  hv.   I'.illv   llarnes.  I  had  no  idea  you  knew  a  line  of  poetry!" 

"Shall  I  quote  you  something  else  or  is  that  sufficient  evidence  to  ynu  that 
I  am  becoming  r-o-m-a-n-t-i-c?" 

"Don't  laugh  at  me,  Billy.  I  can't  help  feeling  as  I  do  about  it;  but.  I 
tell  you  my  curiosity  increases  with  every  birthday  and  I  wonder  for  weeks 
before,  if  the  roses  will  come  again." 

"( )ne  thing  that  worries  me.  Rose,  i^  that  mv  rival  is  an  ideal  and  not  a 
live  man  at  all.  If  I  had  a  man  to  cnntend  with,  that  eats,  drink^,  ami 
breathes  like  the  rest  of  us  poor  mortals,  I  should  feel  more  like  kccjiing  up 
the  combat." 

"Hut,  nh,  r.illy,  dim't  yui  suii])ose  he  really  exists,  that  I  shall  meet  him 
sometime  ?" 

"Would  ynu  rather  find  him  out  and  perhaps  be  woefully  disappoiiUed 
to  know  that  he  was  just  a  jjlain  every-day  mortal,  or  would  you  rather  have 
him   keep   on    being   the    fairv   prince?" 

Rose  remained  pensive  for  a  few  moments,  tlien  replied;  "I  uoulil  nui 
the  risk  of  disajipointment  in  older  to  know  wlm  Ik-  is.  Win,  I'.ilh.  I  w.iiM  to 
know  more  than  anything  else  in  the  world." 

Larnes  quickly  took  the  bo.x  of  flowers  which  Uose  still  belij  in  her  arms. 
and  before  she  knew  what  he  was  about,  reached  his  hand  deep  amony  the 
mossy  heads  and   handed   to  her — his  picture. 

I"or  a  few  moments  she  stood  dazed.  Then  the  realization  came  to  her 
that  her  long  tuiknowii  lover  was  reall\  her  kni>wn  lover — her  own  slow -plod- 
ding, long-patient  I'.illy.  I-Iagerix  he  stepped  toward  her.  With  a  submissive 
sigh  she  put  her  JKinils  in  his.  sayinir,  "I'.illN.  I  might  have  known  it'"

Hope — What  are  you  doing  here? 

Desp.vir — 1  am  here  to  perform  my  duty. 

Hope — Well  your  duty  does  not  lie  here. 

Desp.mr — Indeed,  but  this  is  my  rightful  place.  This  young  lady  has  been 
idling  away  the  session  and  sadly  neglecting  her  duties.  I  have  endeavored  to 
talk  with  her  several  times  about  her  neglect  of  her  work,  but  she  would  not 
listen  to  me  and  now  I  have  at  the  last  moment  succeedeil  in  making  her  realize 
the  folly  of  her  ways,  but  alas,  too  late !  too  late ! 

Hope — Xo.  no.  it  is  not  too  late.  There  is  surely  some  way  we  can  help 
her  through  this  crisis.  Let  me  see.  .\h  !  I  have  it!  Mv  little  friend  Pranks 
is  always  ready  to  lend  a  helping  hand  in  time  of  need.  I'll  see  what  he  can

here  one  of  my  old  acquaintances,  whom — (Soph  looks  up).

Soph — Yes.  1  have  been  a  suliject  of  yours  the  entire  session,  and  that  is 
one  reason  I  am  now  in  the  plight  yon  timl  me.  \'oii  led  mc  into  all  kinds 
of  mischief  when  I  should  have  been  at  my  studies.  \\  ell  do  1  remember  the 
night  you  whispered  in  my  ear  to  make  Miss  Jones  a  "pie  bed."  and  tie  Miss 
Pegram's  door  so  she  coidd  not  get  out,  and  again  wlien  you  prompted  me 
to  shriek  out  "Fire"  the  night  Dr.  Johnson  was  lecturing  in  the  chapel,  and 
scare  every  one  out  of  a  year's  growth  and — Oh,  I  shall  not  attempt  to  tell 
the  many  wicked  things  you  have  led  me  into;  no.  leave  me.  you  can't  help  me 
now.     I  never  want  to  see  you  again. 

Pranks — Ah,  my  dear  Soph,  what  does  a  little  matter  like  "exams"  amount 
to?     Forget  them!     Come  let's — 

Soph — Oh,  please  go ;  1  shall  not  listen  to  you. 

Pr.anks — {sliylv,  poking  Despair  in  the  side,  ^einks  zeaggishlv  ot  Hope, 
and  quits  the  room  doing  a  eart-tclieel  smni-rsaiilt.  ) 

Despair — Now,  my  good  friend,  I  liope  you  sec  how  matters  stand,  and 
this  young  lady  is  in  a  sad  plight  indeed,  owing  to  her  heedlessness — 

Hope — \ever!  Slie  can  be  helped,  and  I  shall  do  every  thing  in  my 
power  to  hel|)  her  thr.iugh.  T>et  me  see  wliat  I'leasure  can  do  for  us.  {Hope 
Zi'aves  wand  and  I'leasure  steps  into  the  room,  boteinii  and  smiling  to  all)^ 

Pleasure — Ah.  so  my  gay  young  Soph,  has  siunmoned  me  to  her  again. 
I  was  beginning  to  fear  she  had  tired  of  me  for  we  used  to  be  so  constantly 
together,  and  lately  I  have  heard  nothing  wdiatever  from  lier.  How  is  that, 
my  dear,  have  you  forgotten  the  shows  we  attended  together  this  year,  the  gay 
automobile  parties  chaperoned  by  Miss  Fisher,  the  trips  down  town  and  week 
ends  spent  with  other  girls  at  their  homes,  not  to  mention  chaling  dish  parties 
in  your  room,  snowballing,  midnight  feasts  and  numercius  other  times  when 
I  have  been  your  faitliful  companion  and  helped  you  enjoy  them? 

Soph — Yes,  I  remember  tliem  very  distinctly;  but  look  at  me  now,  here 
I  have  spent  an  entire  year  up  here  and  at  the  last  1  must  "Hunk  out"  all  because 
I  have  been  led  on  by  you  in  the  paths  of  plea.sure  and  have  let  my  work  go. 
Oh,  don't  stay  here  to  taunt  me  witli  my  failings  and  folly.  You  can't  help 
me  now,  so  leave  mc,  I  pray  you.      {Exit  Pleasure). 

Hope — (softly)  My  young  friend  tliere  is  one  way  that  has  worked  some- 
times when  a  student  has  been  sorely  pressed.  I  only  suggest  it  in  extreme 
cases  but  yours  seems  to  be  sucli  a  one  so  I  dare  to  mention  it.  {:ehispcrs)

Guessing — I  suppose,  judging  from  your  looks  and  the  pile  of  books  before 
you  that  you  are  about  to  stand  an  exam,  and  need  my  help — Well,  "M'  Aime" 
you  have  certainly  kept  me  busy  this  year  and  I  am  sorry  to  fail  you  in  your 
time  of  need,  but  I  must  tell  you  that  daily  recitations  are  the  only  places 
where  I  can  make  good,  and  even  then  I  sometimes  slip  up,  but  on  exams. 
I  can  do  nothing  at  all.  I  lose  my  nerve  at  the  critical  point  and  have  never 
been  known  to  carry  a  person  safely  tlirough  who  relies  wholly  on  me.  there- 
fore, I  advise  you  to  see  my  colleague  Cramming  who  makes  a  specialty  of 
exams,  and,  wlio,  I  am  sure  can  put  you  through  if  any  one  can.  (Exit 
Guessing). 

Desp.vtu — 1  should  think  you  could  see  by  now  that  all  efforts  will  be 
useless.  I.,et  this  girl  reap  the  reward  of  her  folly  and  do  not  try  to  help  lier 
again.     It  is  what  she  rightly  deserves  for  being  so  negligent. 

FfoPE — Wait,  there  is  one  more  source  where  ])nssibly  we  can  lind  a  way 
out.  I  will  do  as  Guessing  suggested  and  summon  Cramming.  (  ll'arcs  'a'and 
and  Cramming  enters  hurriedly). 

Soph. — Oh,  Cramming  can  help  me  I  am  sure  for  he  has  proved  faithful 
to  me  many  times  before  when  I  have  been  all  but  lost.  Why,  I  had  not  thought 
of  him  before!  Here,  come,  for  it  is  getting  late  and  every  second  is  precious 
now. 

Ck.xm.mini; — (if'cakinij  ra/^idly)  ^'cs,  certainly,  cnmc.  what  ^h.nll  we  take 
first?  Here,  this  History.  What  is  the  date  of  the  l*~all  of  Constantinople 
1553— I^earn    it— 1553-1553-155.^- 

Soph. — 1553-1553  1-5-5-31  }ts.  I  know  it  now.  I  am  sure.  One,  two  fives 
and  a  three,  yes,  go  on  1553  1  know  tliat !  what  next? 

Cr.miming — William  the  Conqueror  came  over  in  loCiCi  and  wliat  did  he 
do? 

Soph. — He  came  over  from  Xormandy,  and  fought  in  the  P.attlc  of  Hast- 
ings and  won  a  crown.  I  know  that;  let's  .see  though,  when  did  he  come  over; 
Oh,  1666,  I  remember  now,  and  what  was  it  that  happened  in  English  literature 
about  that  time?  What  was  it?  Oh.  yes.  William  (.'axtnn  lirouglit  the  printing 
press  over  and  translated  an  eihtion  of  the  I'.iblc.  (.raniniing  you  certainly  are 
an  aid!  What  would  I  do  without  you?  Now  let's  study  Knglish  awhile, 
and  see  how  that  goes.  We  begin  with  Milton's  life.  He  wrote  "Paradise 
Lost,"  "Comus,"  and  "The  Seven  Deadly  Sins."  He  was  Latin  secretary  to 
Cromwell  and  when  Charles  I  was  restored  to  the  throne  Milton  went  in  exile 
and  there  wrote  Lycidas  and  several  more  of  his  most  important  works.  Oh, 
I  have  him  "down  pat;"  now  wlio  comes  next? 

Despah; — Well.  I  mu--t  leave  you  now  for  I  have  anotlier  girl  just  around 
the  corner  to  visit,  who  is  in  the  same  fix — you  will  fail.  I  am  sure,  so  there  is 
no  need  of  my  stayin"  I^ere  any  longer,     (/i.r//). 

Hope — Courage,   friend,  courage!  you   will  come  out  all   ri^^dit.     Do  your

The  Three  Fates 

J»^HREE  fates  went  sailing  o'er  G.  F.  C. 
\^     One  lovely  moonlight  night. 
Now  what  will  the  future  of  Seniors  be, 
Who've  toiled  with  all  their  might. 

The  first  fate  cried:  "They'll  marry  gold 
And  wield  the  sceptre  of  power; 

All  the  pleasures  the  world  can  give 
Will  be  the  Seniors'  dower." 

The  second  fate  cried:  "Not  gold,  indeed. 

But  fame  shall  they  achieve: 
To  heights  sublime  they  all  shall  climb. 

Nor  none  be  left  to  grieve." 

The  third  fate  cried:  "Both  gold  and  fame 

Are  dear  to  hearts  of  youth: 
But  fairer  than  either  have  I  to  give: 

A  future  of  love  and  truth."

The  Mystery  of  the  Little  Room. 

Ox  the-  DUtskirts  i<i  a  quiet  and  almu.st  ileMrli.il  little  xillaye  stands  a  large 
tuii--.ti.ry  white  house  whose  windows  tnmi  all  sides  look  out  over  a 
slippint;  lawn  well  shaded  by  large  trees.  .\'nx\  in  the  early  light  of 
morning  it  stood  dim  and  gray  outlined  against  the  western  sky.  In  an  upper 
room  a  young  girl  awoke  with  a  start,  rubbe<l  her  eyes  vaguely — in  the  shadowy 
light  she  looked  about  the  unfamiliar  room  in  wonder  and  astonishmentr  then 
in  swift  recollection  she  smiled  and  closed  her  eyes  again.  "Xci  rising  bell  this 
morning,  no  chapel  e.xercises,  so  1  may  sleep  on.  How  delightful,"  she 
murmured. 

Wdien  she  opened  her  eyes  again  the  birds  were  singing  in  the  trees  just 
outside  her  window  and  the  sunlight  was  flooding  her  room.  She  arose  and 
pulled  back  her  curtains  for  a  view  of  her  surroundings.  Beyond  the  sloping 
lawn  stretched  a  green  meadow  wdiere  cows  browsed  and  daLsie.s  bloomed  while 
farther  on  in  the  distance  stood  a  low  line  of  hills  draped  in  mistv  clouds. 

The  girl  threw  back  her  head  and  took  in  a  deep  full  breath  of  the  morning 
air,  and  her  eyes  sparkled  with  ilelight.  It  was  evident  that  she  was  \  er\  well 
pleased  with  the  entire  place. 

There  was  a  gentle  knock  on  her  door,  followed  by  the  entrance  of  a  rather 
stout  lady  with  iron  gray  hair. 

"Good  morning,  dear,"  she  said,  "}OU  are  up  I  see." 

"Yes,  Aunt,  at  last.  I  have  overslept  myself  and  ani  afraid  I  have  ke])t 
you  from  breakfasting  at  your  usual  hour." 

"Xo.  dear,  not  at  all  and  I  am  very  glad  you  sle])t  well  for  vou  needed  a 
good  rest  after  such  a  long  tiresome  trip."  Then  noticing  that  the  girl  had 
been  gazing  at  her  surroundings.  "How  do  you  think  you  are  going  to  like  it 
here,  Klizabeth?  Do  you  think  you  can  manage  to  stav  with  me  until  vonr 
Uncle's  return?" 

"Why,  Aunt,"  replie<l  Elizabeth,  "I  nmre  than  like  it,  I  .im  delighted  and 
after  my  strenuous  college  life  I  think  I  shall  lind  it  an  ide;d  |)lace  in  which 
to  rest  and  dream." 

"I  liope  so,  dear,  and  now   if  ynu  are  read\    ue  will  go  down  tn  breakfast." 

.As  soon  as  Mrs.  Carter  had  learned  that  her  husband  would  have  to  be 
away  .several   weeks  on  a  business  trip,  she  sat   down  ami   wrote  to  her   favorite

niece,  Elizabeth  Murry.  who  was  a  Senior  in  college,  asking  her  to  come  and 
stay  with  her  until  her  husband's  return.  Elizabeth  was  at  that  time  busily 
engaged  in  writing  her  {Graduating  thesis.  She  had  a  good  deal  of  hard  work 
ahead  of  her  to  be  completed  by  commencement  and  .she  knew  by  the  time  it 
was  accomplished  she  would  need  a  rest,  so  the  prospect  of  a  visit  to  her  Aunt 
was  very  pleasant  and  now  the  morning  after  her  arrival  she  looked  about  her 
and  found  it  even  more  pleasant  than  she  had  anticipated. 

Later  on  in  the  day  while  Elizabeth  and  her  Aunt  sat  on  the  broad  front 
porch,  a  small  colored  boy  came  down  the  side  walk  bringing  the  mail  which 
he  delivered  to  Mrs.  Carter. 

"Oh!  here  is  a  letter  from  your  L'nclc  ( .eorge,  b^lizaljeth.  lie  is  a  dear 
man,  George  is."  So  saying  she  iiastily  p.  ilished  her  glasses  and  placed  them 
upon  her  nose. 

"Dear!  dear!"  she  exclaimed  a  nmnient  later,  "just  listen  to  this."  I  met 
an  old  acquaintance  of  mine  this  morning  wliom  1  am  sending  down  to  you  for 
a  summer  Ijoarder  and  for  a  ])rotection.  'S'ou  can  give  him  the  bed-room  down 
stairs,  back  of  the  library,  and  with  him  in  the  house  1  hope  you  will  have  no 
cause  to  feel  nervous  and  unprotected  as  yt)U  always  do  when  there  is  no  man 
aroimd.  You  will  not  have  to  exert  yourself  in  the  least  to  entertain  him  as 
he  wishes  to  be  left  entirely  alone  and  undisturbed. 

"Now,  i.sn't  that  too  provoking!"  she  exclaimed  with  a  frown  of  irritation. 
"Can't  men  do  the  most  absurd  things  you  ever  heard  of?  Here  1  liad  jdanned 
a  quiet,  peaceful,  restful  time  with  you,  and  lo  and  behohl  in  comes  a  SKiniiicr 
boarder.  .An  old  acquaintance !  1  dare  say  he  is  an  old  fogy,  suffering  with 
imaginary  gout.  As  for  letting  him  alone  he  certainly  need  not  be  uneasy  along 
that  line  for  1   shall  be  more  tlian  glad  to  utterly  avoid  liim." 

"It  is  too  bad,  .Aunt,"  said  Elizabetli  sympathetically.  "Such  an  intrusion 
is  enough  to  disturb  a  body  in  spite  of  herself.     But  when  is  he  to  arrive?" 

Mrs.  Carter  held  up  the  letter  and  again  ])eered  tlirough  her  glasses  at  its 
contents.  "Why,  tonight !"  "Yes,  tonight  at  nine  o'clock,  she  said.  1  suppose 
I  had  better  go  and  tell  .Aunt  Sallie  to  have  his  room  in  readiness." 

When  she  had  gone  Elizabeth  looked  dreamily  out  across  the  meadow  and 
on  beyond  to  the  purple  hills.  She,  too,  had  hoped  for  a  quiet,  peaceful  time 
and  she  was  sorry  to  hear  of  the  expected  guest  but  a  certain  amount  of  sym- 
pathy went  out  to  him  for  she  knew  when  her  Aunt  disliked  a  person  she  seldom 
failed  to  make  it  known  to  him.  Elizabeth  sincerely  hoped  lie  would  make  a 
good  impression  upon  his  arrival  and  win  her  .Aunt's  favor. 

Promptly  at  a  quarter  past  nine  that  night,  while  sitting  in  an  upper  bed- 
room they  saw  in  the  pale  moonlight  the  dark  outline  of  a  man's  figure  as  with 
suit-case  in  hand  he  came  briskly  up  the  walk.  "He  hasn't  a  very  severe  case 
of  gout,"  thought  Elizal)eth.  She  heard  him  step  upon  the  porch  and  ring  the 
bell  as  Mrs.  Carter  hastily  made  her  way  down  stairs.  She  noticed  that  her 
.Aunt  in  her  excitement  had  fi>rgotten  her  glasses.  Presently  she  heard  the 
sound  of  a  man's  voice  and  caught  the  odor  of  a  good  cigar. 

"Well  after  all  a  man's  voice  doesn't  sound  so  bad  and  if  he  smokes  good 
cigars  maybe  we  can  endure  him  at  any  rate,"  she  mused. 

When  her  Aunt  returned,  Elizabeth  did  not  have  to  ]ilv  her  witli  questions 
to  find  out  about  the  new  arrival. 

(Tf  all  things,  said  Mrs.  Carter.  ]ianting  from  the  exertion  of  climbing  the 
stairs,    what   do  you   suppose   I   did?      Went   oft'   without   my   glasses!      .And    I

couldn't  half  see  but  lie  doesn't  look  as  old  as  I  expected.  He  isn't  as  old  as 
your  L'ncle  George  at  any  rate — "Antl  what  do  you  think.  Elizabeth  ?"  she  asked 
mysteriously.  Why  the  first  thing  he  .saw  upon  entering  the  room  .was  the 
door  that  opens  into  that  little  back  room.  Aunt  Sallie  ha<l  carelessly  left  it 
open  and  he  saw  straight  into  the  little  room  itself.  And  he  wanted  to  know 
at  once  if  he  could  rent  it.  Said  he  would  like  to  have  the  u.se  of  it  as  he 
needed  it.  I  let  him  have  it  but  what  in  the  world  he  wants  with  it  I  can't 
imagine.     But,"  she  added,  "if   I  don't  find  out  I  shall  surpri.se  myself.  " 

"Well,  what  is  his  name?"  asked  Elizabeth.  "It's  Rlr.  Carey.  I  believe. 
William  Blount  Carey.     J^ut  it  is  getting  late.  Elizabeth,  we  had  better  go  to  bed." 

The  next  morning  when  they  went  down  to  breakfast  tliey  foimd  to  their 
surprise  that  Mr.  Carey  had  eaten  his  morning  meal  more  than  an  hour  before- 
hand. Mrs.  Carter  peeped  into  his  bed-room  but  it  was  empty.  She  thought 
it  a  good  opportunity  to  peep  in  the  little  back  room  also  and  on  some  slight 
preten.se  she  boldly  entered  the  bed-room  and  turned  the  knob  of  the  door  to 
tlie  little  room,  but  to  her  dismay  she  found  it  locked  and  the  key  was  gone. 
She  called  in  Elizabeth.  What  do  you  suppose  it  means?"  she  asked,  "I'm  sure 
I  don't  know,"  answered  Elizabeth. 

Mrs.  Carter  shook  the  door  but  there  was  no  chance  of  the  lock  ever  giving 
way.  She  peeped  through  the  key-hole  but  could  see  nothing  but  the  bare  wall 
on  the  opposite  side. 

"We  had  better  go."  advi>ed  Elizabeth,  he  is  apt  to  come  in  at  any  time. — 
Yes,  we  had  better  go."  so  Mrs.  Carter  gathereil  up  her  skirts  and  departed 
in  a  state  of  unsatisfied  curiosity. 

The  morning  wore  away  into  noon  and  still  Mr.  Carey  was  nowhere  to  be 
seen.  Mrs.  Carter  had  i)romised  herself  to  avoid  him  but  she  found  herself 
in  search  of  him  and  wondered  where  in  the  world  he  could  be.  However  it 
was  Elizabeth  who  discovered  him.  She  was  on  her  way  to  the  kitchen  where 
by  chance  she  glanced  down  the  side  passage  which  opened  upon  a  very  attrac- 
tive little  porch.  The  summer  wind  had  blown  the  passage  door  open  and 
there  upon  the  porch,  by  the  side  of  a  big  colonial  column  sat  the  summer 
boarder.  To  her  surprise  she  ^aw  at  once  that  he  w'as  a  young  man.  He  sat 
in  a  low  chair  and  bent  interestedly  over  a  big  volume  which  lay  open  upon  his 
knees  while  unconsciously  he  beat  himself  vigorously  upon  the  top  of  his  head 
with  a  lead  pencil.  She  had  the  back  view  of  him  and  noticed  that  his  neck  w'as 
badly  in  need  of  a  .shave.  Perhaps  it  was  human  magnetism,  perhaps  it  was 
telepathy  that  caused  him  to  look  quickly  around  and  catch  her  eye.  before  she 
had  time  to  move.  Iktt  the  next  minute  she  was  in  the  kitchen  busilv  engaged  in 
helping  Aunt  Sallie. 

Mr.  Carey  stared  again  at  his  Imok.  but  saw  mine  <il  its  contents.  By 
Jove!"  he  exclaimed,  "I  wonder  who  that  is  I  i  didn't  know  there  was  anybody 
here  but  the  madam."  Just  before  dinner,  he  went  to  his  room  and  looked  at 
himself  in  the  mirror.  His  face  was  covered  with  a  dense  beard  which  was 
neither  short  nor  long,  just  .stubby.  "\'ou  are  a  beastly  looking  creature."  he 
said  to  the  reflection,  but  don't  shave,  you  didn't  come  down  here  to  lose  any 
time  in  shaving,  you  came  here  to  work.  \o\\  haven't  got  much  more  time  left 
in  which  to  work  either,  and  you  need  every  minute  of  it.  " 

.•\t  flinncr  he  was  formally  introduced  to  Miss  Murry  who  fomid  him  very 
polite  but  very  reserved  ami  very  un.'ittraclive  looking.     .She  told  her  .\unt  after- 

ii6 


wards  she  had  never  seen  such  a  human  being  in  her  life.  ''And  yet  Aunt  did  you 
notice  his  eyes"  she  asked.     He  looks  hke  he  might  be  intelhgent." 

During  the  days  that  followed  Mr.  Carey  spent  most  of  the  time  on  the 
side  porch  with  books  piled  about  his  chair  and  one  invariably  open  upon  his 
lap.  At  times  he  locked  liimsell  up  in  the  "Little  Room"  and  spent  hours  in 
there  while  -Mrs.  Carter  almost  went  beside  herself  with  curiosity.  It  was  a 
very  frequent  occurrence  for  Airs.  Carter  and  Elizabeth  to  come  in  late  in  the 
afternoon  and  find  him  still  sitting  upon  the  porch  always  devoid  of  coat,  collar 
and  cuffs  and  often  with  his  sleeves  rolled  up  to  the  elbow.  The  weather  had 
been  fine  and  they  had  been  taking  their  meals  on  a  small  table  under  a  big 
tree  in  the  back  yanl  so  thc.\-  seldom  saw  him  to  speak  to  him. 

Elizabeth  had  long  a^i'o'  decided  that  he  was  a  law  student  and  had  told 
Mrs.  Carter  so.  "Yes,  dear,  I  guess  he  is,"  said  her  Aunt,  but  what  can  he  be 
doing  in  the  Little  Room?  I  simply  can't  imagine.  Why,  the  other  day  I  saw 
him  take  a  Ijucket  of  water  in  there  and  when  he  comes  out  he  always  washes 
his  hands." 

Elizabeth  ccjulihi't  imagine  either,  so  tlie  mystery  remained  un.solved. 

One  afternoon  when  the  sun  stood  just  above  the  treetops.  William  Carey 
closed  a  huge  book  which  liore  tlie  marks  of  many  thumb  prints  and  laid  it 
upon  the  fioor.  lie  lonkcd  at  it  tlumghtfiilly  and  tiien  an  expression  of  relief 
spread  over  his  face. 

"Well,  I'll  guarantee  I've  got  you  dnwii  about  as  fine  as  anyone  could,  old 
fellow.  You've  given  me  many  a  sleeijless  night  and  I've  wished  a  thousand 
times  Dr.  Ciray  had  died  before  he  had  ever  gotten  you  written."  He  picked 
up  several  other  books  and  laid  them  on  top  of  the  big  one.  "Day  after  to- 
morrow this  time  I  will  be  in  the  State  Capitol,"  he  went  on,  "and  from  now 
until  then  I  am  going  to  enjoy  myself."  .\  few  minutes  later  he  strode  down 
the  road  which  led  through  a'ricli  piece  of  woodland  to  a  big  babbling  brook. 
When  he  reached  the  water's  edge,  to  his  great  surprise  and  hers  also,  he  came 
suddenly  upon  Elizabeth.  She  was  sitting  upon  a  big  moss-grown  rock  reading 
a  new  book. 

"Why.  good  evening  .Mi^^  .Murrx."  he  -.aid  pleasantly.  "Please  pardon  me 
for  interrupting  you." 

''Good  evening  Mr.-er-e'arey."  she  saiil  confusedly  as  she  arose  to  go. 

"Please  don't  let  me  run  you  away."  he  said  intreatingly.  "l'"or  my  sake 
sit  back  down." 

"Well  1  believe  I  will,"  she  said,  "this  is  such  a  nice  jilace  to  rest  in." 

"Rest!"  he  said,  "I'm  awfully  tired,  may  I  rest,  too?" 

Elizabeth  laughed.  "Of  course,  if  you  wish.  N'ou  do  Ic.ok  tired;  have  you 
been  working  very  hard?"  she  asked. 

"I  should  think  I  have,  I've  been  at  it  just  like  a  ditcli  digger  ever  since 
I  came.  But  I  am  through  now  for  a  da_\-  or  two  anywa\'  and  I  am  going  to 
spend  to-morrow  taking  life  easy."  During  their  conversation  he  told  her  some- 
thing of  his  life,  and  they  discussed  various  subjects  and  topics.  It  must  have 
been  very  entertaining  for  it  was  quite  supper  time  when  Mrs.  Carter  saw  them 
strolling  up  the  road  together. 

The  next  morning  it  was  raining  and  they  all  took  breakfast  in  the  dining- 
room.  When  Mr.  Carey  ajipeared  he  had  shaved  off  his  whiskers  and  his  face 
was  clean  and  smooth,  lie  also  had  on  his  coat,  collar,  and  cuffs,  .\pparently 
there  was  no  detail  about  his  toilet  that  had  not  been  carefully  attended  to.

later  that  she  thought  lie  was  hamlsonie. 

That  night  the  moon  came  up  clear  and  full.  The  giant  old  elms  swayed 
gently  in  the  night  breeze  and  cast  their  long  black  shadows  upon  the  ground. 
The  subtle  odor  of  violets  and  cape  jessamines  permeated  the  atmosphere ;  from 
somewhere  down  in  the  meadow  came  the  weird  note  of  the  whippoorwill. 
mingled  with  the  unmusical  song  of  the  frog. 

Mr.  Carey  and  l-21izabeth  sat  on  the  porch.  The\  had  been  talking  for 
sometime  and  as  the  moon  rose  higher  and  higher  in  tlie  heavens  they  realized 
it  was  getting  late. 

"Miss  Elizabeth,"  he  said,  "1  must  go  away  to-mnrrow  on  a  business  trip 
and  e.xpect  I  shall  be  away  for  several  days,  and  I  want  to  a^k  a  favor  nf  you." 

"\Vell,"  she  said,  "what  is  it?" 

"1  want  you  to  keep  the  kev  to  the  Little  Room  for  me.  Don't  let  anxliodv 
go  in  there.  Keep  it  locked  until  1  return — Will  you  do  it!'"  lie  asked,  anxiMUsh. 
He  drew  the  key  from  his  pocket  antl  held  it  up  in  the  moonlight. 

"Yes,"  she  said.  "1  will,"  and  he  placed  it  in  her  hand.  .A  cloud  passed 
over  the  moon  and  from  the  nearby  woodland  came  the  hoot  of  an  owl.  It  is 
getting  late,"   she   said,   "I   must   tell  you   good   night." 

The  next  morning  when  she  came  dow'n  to  breakfast,  Mr.  Carev  hail  gone. 
.\11  day  long  Mrs.  Carter  searched  in  vain  for  the  key  to  the  Little  Room.  Wlien 
slie  failed  to  lind  it  she  then  tried  to  find  .some  other  way  of  getting  in. 

"Elizabeth,"  .she  said,  "I  wish  you  would  try  to  help  me  solve  the  mysterw 
1  never  have  seen  such  a  girl;  you  don't  seem  interested  in  the  least." 

One  afternoon  when  Mr.  Care\-  had  been  gone  for  nearly  a  week  Elizabeth 
strolled  downstairs  into  the  library.  Her  .Aunt  was  lying  down  with  a  head- 
ache. The  house  was  very  still.  The  buzzing  of  the  bees  and  the  twitter  of 
the  birds  just  outside  the  window  were  the  only  audible  sounds.  She  sat  ver\- 
still  thinking.  She  was  thinking  of  the  Little  Room  and  wondering  what  it 
contained.  .She  sauntered  into  the  bed-room  and  gazed  hard  at  the  plain  little 
old-fashioned  door  that  opened  into  the  Little  l?oom.  Suddenly  a  great  desire 
to  .see  beyond  that  door  seized  her.  .She  went  up  close  to  it  and  looke<l  through 
the  keyhole  but  saw  only  the  bare  wall.  She  drew  the  key  out  of  her  pocket 
and  looked  at  it,  then  at  the  ke\hi>le,  then  back  at  the  kev.  .A  mouse  scampered 
across  the  fl(Jor  and  she  jumped,  dreadfullv  startled.  She  looked  uj)  at  the 
door  and  stared  at  it  horrihed.  then  ]ilacinLr  llie  key  in  her  pocket,  ran  out  of 
the   room. 

Meanwhile,  William  Carey  ami  several  of  his  college  chums  were  in  the 
waiting  room  of  the  L'nion  depot  of  the  Capit.nl  C'\t\ .  There  was  a  long  \)\'t\\ 
of  a  train  far  down  the  tracks. 

"There's  my  train,  boys,"  said  William.  "I'm  ju^t  lio])ing  we  all  parsed 
that  examination  all  right  and  came  out  at  the  big  end  of  the  liorn,  .-mil  I  ju--! 
believe  we  did. 

"Yes.  I'.ill,  it's  all  to  the  good  witli  \(.n.  I'm  -ure,"  said  one:  "gond-bv  old 
boy — take  care  of  yourself"  said  another,  "write  to  us  sometimes." 

Five  minutes  later  William  was  speeding  over  the  .Southern  at  the  rate 
of  a  mile  a  minute.  Late  that  same  afternoon  he  again  stepped  brisklv  up  the 
walk  to  the  Carter  home.  He  entered  his  be<l-room,  his  eves  fastened  ii|)on  the 
little  old-fashioned  door.  He  sat  down  his  suit  case  ami  examined  it 
tliornughly."     "I   just   dnu't  believe   it   h.'Ls  bc-iu   .ipcned.      I'll    win    I'.nli's   wager  if 

ii8 


it  hasn't.  Ik-  can't  aftord  to  take  a  felkiu  up  over  a  jjirl  like  that,  ami  I'll  prove 
it  to  him." 

".Aunt  Sallie,"  he  a.'^kcd  later,  where  is  everybody?" 

"Well  Mis'  Carter,  she's  up  stars  and  I  saw  ^iiss  Lizbeth  gwine  off  dat 
a  \va\'."  '•he  said,  pointing  down  the  road  through  the  woodland.  Aunt  Sallie's 
eyes  twinkled  as  she  saw  Will  Carey  stride  off  in  the  same  direction.  About 
supper  time  she  saw  them  come  back  together,  he  tall  and  handsome,  she  fresh 
and  lovely,  in  a  dress  of  light  blue. 

The  ne.xt  day  Elizabeth  gave  him  back  the  ke\-.  He  took  it  and  went  into 
the  Little  Room.  Presently  he  returned.  "1  want  to  thank  you  for  keejiing  the 
faith,"  he  said,  "you  were  weijrlied  in  the  balance  and  not  fuund  wanting." 

"Ves."  she  answered,  "but  you  can't  say  I  was  weighed  in  the  balance  and 
not  found  wanting  to  know."     He  laughed  merrily. 

"\\'hat  /lofi'  you  got  in  there.  Mr.  Carey?     Is  it  some  kind  of  monster?" 

"Yes,"  he  said,  "a  great  big  grinning  monster," 

During  the  days  that  followed  he  learned  to  care  very  much  for  Klizabeth 
and  at  the  end  of  the  week  he  acknowledged  to  himself  that  he  was  actually 
in  love.  In  the  meantime  he  received  a  letter  which  lifted  a  mountain  load 
from  his  shoulders  and  made  his  heart  bound  with  joy.  He  found  Elizabeth 
in  the  library.  "Let  me  tell  you  my  good  news."  he  said.  "I  must  tell  you  first 
because- -because — it's  you  I  reckon.  I  have  just  received  a  letter  telling  me 
that  1  successfully  passed  the  medical  examination  before  the  State  Hoard  in 
Raleigh  last  week.  1  am  now  a  Jtoctor."  Elizabeth's  eyes  shone  with  pleasure 
and  .she  frankly  extended  her  hand — ".\ccept  my  sincerest  congratulations.  Doc- 
tor Carey,"  she  said. 

He  took  a  seat  on  the  sofa  l)eside  her.  "1  want  l^  Icll  \i>u  something  else, 
too,"  he  said,  in  a  low.  earnest  tone.     "\n\\  must  kncpw    that  1  1 

"Sh!  here  comes  Amit,"  she  said  i|uickly.  He  arose  as  Mrs.  Carter  entered 
the  room.  "Tonight,  ladies,  he  said,  addressing  both,  the  Little  Room  will  be 
open,  and  if  you  will  permit  me  I  shall  be  glad  to  show  you  its  contents." 

After  supper  he  w.'is  busy  for  some  time  lighting  up  the  Little  Room  and 
arranging  things  in  their  respective  places.  He  found  Elizabeth  and  her  Aunt 
waiting  in  the  library.  .\s  he  turned  the  knob  of  the  old-fashioned  door  of  the 
"Little  Room"  he  paused.  "Wm  won't  be  frightened  at  anything  you  might  see. 
will  you  Mrs.  Carter?"  he  aske<l.  laughingly. 

"Oh!  no  indeed  I"  she  exclaimed  reassuringly.  The  next  moment  he  threw 
npen  tile  door  and  there  before  tliem  in  the  candle  light  standing  erect  against 
the  wall  stood  a  skeleton,  bleached  and  grinning  hideouslv.  Placed  around  the 
room  on  boxes  were  skulls  and  bones  of  various  descriptions. 

Mrs.  Carter  gave  a  wild  shriek  and  .sought  refuge  in  the  library  where  she 
gave  way  to  a  storm  of  in<lignation.  Klizabeth  looked  up  and  met  the  eyes  of 
Dr.  Carey.  They  were  shining  with  uncontrollable  amusement  and  his  mouth 
w^as  twitching  convulsively.     Elizabeth,  too.  became  indignant. 

"How  gruesome!"  she  exclaimed,  disgustedly,  and  gathering  up  her  skirts, 
followed  her  Aunt.  Glancing  back  she  saw  him  fall  int"  a  nearljv  chair  and 
give  way  to  excessive  laughter. 

.A  few  minutes  later  he  foinid  her  sitting  on  the  sofa  alone,  her  .\unt  had 
gone  u])  stairs. 

"1  wish  \i>u  would  go  away  and  take  that  hideous  thing  with  you!"  she 
cried.

His  dark  eyes  searched  her  face.     "Do  \(  u?"  lie  asked,  tensely,  "do  you?" 

"Ves,"  she  cried  hy.sterically,  I  do." 

■'I  will,"  he  said  emphatically,  and  strode  toward  the  door. 

She  looked  up  and  saw  the  .skeleton  grinning  at  her  from  the  Little  Room. 

A  shiver  ran  over  lier.     "Oh  I   Mister Dr.  Carey  don't  leave  nie   she   said 

in  a  frightened,  pleading  voice.     I  didn't  mean  it,  please  don't." 

A  happy  light  .shone  in  his  eyes  and  in  an  instant  he  was  at  her  side,  "I 
won't,"  he  said,  "I  never  will,  and  don't  be  frio:htened  he  laughed,  its  made  of 
plaster  of  paris:  they  all  are.  I  made  them  niy-elf."  She  lookeil  at  the  skeleton 
again  and  then  back  at  Dr.  Carey  and  in  -pitc  of  herself  broke  into  a  merry 
laugh.
