To The Virginian o Virginian, we send thee forth amid sundry hopes and fears! For thou art a symbol of our laughter and our tears. The noblest name of all we have chosen now for thee, And so ever true and loyal thou wilt have to beA road of the loving heart back to the golden shore, Where friendships were begun and learning was in store. On thy pages are the faces that to our hearts were near, And the old, familiar places that memory holds so dear. Then sail forth, 0 Virginian, on our love as on a sea; For the ship that bears our treasures shall ever honored be. ANTOINETTE

of of
To the "Beloved Vagabonds" 0, ye who answer the Call of the Road As it lilts through the Voice of Spring, Do you think, as you wander over the world Through lands forgotten and ways unknown, Of the hearts that have ceased to sing? Of the throbbing ache of the heart that comes To those who must watch and wait And wait and wait through the weary months Till the lkind gods turn to a merciless force, And one blindly calls it." Fate?" By all the love of passionate hearts That are weary with longing- for you; By the power of thoughts that will arise When darkness enfolds and the stars bring dreams Of a girl who is always true; By our anguish of spirit that cries to you, "Forswear the Gypsy Trail!" Heed not the lure of the Otherwhere; forget the Voice in the Wind! 0, masters, heed! For a woman's heart Is calling you home from the Trail. HELENA

A
CLASS history is not generally suppose~ to be, as its name might signify, a record of facts, a calendar of events, or a rating of attainments. These are easily at hand elsewhere, and may be considered the skeleton or framework of that which I should like to portray, the actualizing spirit, for herein may each class claim its divergence from all other classes by right of personality. But how may I catch and hold between the folds of a printed page this essence of elusiveness which speaks for itself, but through conductors which are not sound waves; which is seen in the face, but may only be imaged in the soul? How make a composite delineation of one hundred and sixteen bundles of individual differences as they merge or prevail in the application of the developing process of teacher training to the film of the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twelve? We present many varieties of appearances,
dispositions, abilities, and talents, but we have marched together to a steady rhythm of perseverance and contentment along the way that led to the fulfillment of purpose. Making a pudding for the first time, especially if one follows one's own recipe, is rather a doubtful experiment, and history puddings are not exceptions to the rule. In dealing with such lively ingredients there is always danger in the "mix thoroughly" and "beat well" stages. Then the effect of the baking and the test of the eating are for a while unknown to the collaborator. I wish I might concoct a delightful Jack Horner surprise pie and extend a ribbon to each Senior, to which she would find attached just the prize message that would make her exclaim: " What a good girl am I! " A second September saw us back in the familiar places, filing to and fro between dormitory and class-
room, between dining hall and Main Street. Wedged between the homesick yearning and the joyful meeting of friend with friend was the thought that only the last stretch of the home run to the goal of graduation lay ahead of us. When the nearing spring announced the approach of June our elation knew the minor strain of separation from the scenes and faces grown dear through daily association. The corridors that of late echoed so cheerily our voices and footsteps will resound as accommodatingly those of our successors when 1912 Junior enters into her inheritance. In other years, when favorite supervisors other class pins shall wear, then who will remember, who will remember us? We will have joined the ranks of those who have" passed" stretching back through the years that are past, May we follow still in their footsteps by living ever worthily of the seal put upon us by Alma Mater! Can we better accomplish this than by carrying away with us the habit of practicing our motto: " Not for ourselves, but for others? " Class meetings have not been conducted exactly according to parliamentary rules. On such momentous occasions as elections and discussions concerning the class pin, annual, and that most weighty subject, near and dear to feminine hearts, the commencement wardrobe, the incessant buzz of schoolgirl chatter has faded into a tense and breathless expectancy, only to break forth into renewed excitement upon the announcement of the decision of the majority. Quite early in the fall we elected Mr. Lear to be our" Big Brother" by adop-
tion. On election day he manifested his approval of our voting ability by inviting us to join his personally conducted tour to the polls. We presume that were his indulgence the. only requisite, then and there the right of suffrage would have been bestowed upon us. Our Thanksgiving celebration included the Junior and Senior basket-ball game, The Senior Team won a memorable victory, even the grandstand contributed a grand slam to our score, and incidentally the rooters knocked at the door of the dwelling house of roots. On the night of St. Valentine the Junior Class entertained us royally and regaled us bountifully. Remembering a similar occurrence of last year, we noted with sympathetic appreciation all the preparations made in our behalf. Particularly was the scheme of decorations carried out with satisfying completeness and tasteful effect, From festooned chandelier and pillar hearts dropped upon us, many hearts of many sizes and a mighty array of Cupid's counterparts" joined us in our glee." The Juniors sang to us and we sang to the Juniors with hearty good wishes for next year's Seniors. We tripped upon the "light fantastic toe" until the summons came: " Heed the good clock's warning!" And, like Cinderella of old, we fled as a dozen strokes proclaimed midnight's arrival upon the scene of festivity. "<The morning after" we wished in vain for the fairy godfather's gift of a holiday to conjure away the heavy eyelids and dull brains. Nor have we forgotten to make our best bow to that jolly old fellow, Mr. Leap Year, who has been with us
during the latter part of our journey and who will accompany us to pastures new next fall. Gratefully must we greet him, for who knows what service he may render yet to those of us who have not already embraced his opportunity? Although at times t~e unusual presence of an additional weight of gray matter turned us topsy-turvy, our light-heartedness kept us afloat on the training school sea until we reached the port of Diplomadom. When the storms arose and the winds blew, we discovered there was always an encouraging word and a kindly smile to welcome us aboard the Director's raft, even though we scrambled on limp and bedraggled. We wish he might promise to weave some sort of spell forbidding the ghosts of forgotten lesson plans to rise up to haunt us. When we begin to throw cargo overboard to balance the summer flirtations, let us be careful to keep quite securely stored away in an accessible place the verb" to psychologize." It will work wonders everywhere and at all times, and will serve as an excellent bait to resurrect all we knew once upon a time and will need to know again when we stand before our
problem of thirty or sixty of America's young hopefuls. From this focus we will scatter far and wide over the fair fields of our beloved State. With justifiable pride may I not look toward a future abounding in . usefulness and increasing power for these, my classmates, who have been ever steadfast and true in work, yet withal blithe and gay in play? Perhaps we shall not all be within hail of each other again until that great and notable day comes when the Book of Life shall be opened. At that roll call we shall not stand together as a class and answer to our names alphabetically. In many instances, then, as we honor those whose records read full and clean and bright, shall we not wonder that here we had eyes to see, but saw not? Those who receive will not have to wonder why, when, how so, and whither to the inevitable therefore leadeth. No doubt there it will be given us to see and rejoice over the innumerable threads of influence leading back to the long building with its white porticoes at the top of the hill in a town in old Virginia. FANNY
BLAND.
Class PoeJrl To-night our hearts are free from troubling thoughts, No doubts or anxious fancies now beguile, As, standing in the doorway of our fates, We gaze into our futures with a smile.
Through the tangled paths of knowledge we have striven Until we've reached the finding of our goal; And now a great and untold pleasure greets us; Our effort's dear reward we now behold,
Yet mingled with a happiness far-reaching Is a longing for the school days that are past; And o'er the eyes that gaze toward the future A tearful veil of sorrow now is cast. Long have we striven, 0 classmates stanch and true; Together tears and smiles we oft have known, Till each to other seems as doubly dear When standing on the future's brink alone.
Alone? In truth, I should not say" alone," Each carries with her to her journey's end The memory of some sweet companionship, Of Heaven's truest, dearest gift-a friend.
And dearly held within our memories Are those whose teachings, lest our footsteps stray, As groping for a path through vistas dim, Have guided us and smoothed for us a way, Around this dear old school the future through Our thoughts shall ever with affection cling, And many a tear for recollections treasured The memories of our schoolgirl days shall bring,
As ships that from a safe and pleasant harbor Go forth upon the trackless deep are we, To breast the waves of trouble that may meet us As on we go through life's tempestuous sea.
'Tis ours to find, then, for ourselves a way To pass untouched the dangerous rocks and shoals; To steer, the bitlows, reefs, and waves surmounting, To reach that which we strive for as a goal. Adown the" sounding corridors of time" Come snatches of some ancient minstrel's song, Caught from out the melody of Nature While wandering her winding paths along.
In winds that played upon the forest branches, Sweet chords of harmony he oft divined; The murmurs of the little babbling brooklet Lent music to the music of the wind.
The little flowers nodding in the breezes, The blades of grass that grow upon the lea, Were to him as the symbols of man's beingThe notes that make our lives a melody,
The birds sang love and joy, a Father's care, The whole of Nature was a melody, 9s o'er the strings his fingers lightly strayed, Drew from his harp sweet strains of harmony.
Each day that dies, the ending of a song; The clouds are but a sorrow for the years; Each morn, the finding of another day; The rainbow, Nature smiling through her tears, Each life is but a little snatch of singing, As lesser notes in Nature's larger song; And each must choose her notes with surest meaning, Or mar its beauty should she play them wrong.
Our lives are as a little winding brooklet; Never very smooth its ebb or flow; The rifts and rills, the obstacles that meet us As on through life's broad fields we daily go.
Our friendships are like flowers, whose beauty rare Makes us so oft forget our sighs and tears; Whose sweetness, like the breath of springtime fragrance, Pervades our lives throughout th' uncertain years. The driftwood on the stream, our many burdens, That often in our lives of sorrow tell; The rushes on Its sides, o'erhanging shadows That darken, and the sunshine oft dispel.
Yet may we through the shadowed cou-rse of life Reflect the sunshine even to its ending, Where, like the brook that flows to join the ocean, Self is lost at last in perfect blending.
May we who gaze expectant toward the future From Nature and the brook learn truths sublime To help us, in the spending of our lives, Some mark to leave upon the sands of time. ELIZABETH HART.

Tne Long Ago Soft sighs the wind in the forest, The wood birds sing soft and low; Then I seem to hear through the twilight Sweet sounds from the long ago. My heart turns back to the home land, With the red sun sinking low; And the far, bright strand of my childhood Shines out from the afterglow. For I seem to see the pastures And the roses as they grew, While the sheep come home through the daisies With their fleeces wet with dew. When the purple .wealth of the lilacs Wind-borne from the garden wall, Then I see my own gentle mother, And I hear my brother's call. 0, spirit pure of the twilight, Whose hand can pictures trace, Would I could stay my time flight And keep each well-loved face! For my spirit yearns for the home land As the birds pass, flying low, For the sweet old land of my childhood, And the loved of long ago. JANIE

A Simple Question " ~OW
this is a pretty fix for a fellow to be in," said Standsberry to himself. "Here I have been in these woods the whole livelong day since nine o'clock this morning, and I am lost-yes, completely lost. I know I have circled around here before. I have always heard if you were lost, you would circle around the same trees. Well, I must have walked faster with my right foot than with the left, but I am going to use both of them this time for all they are worth." Standsberry puthis words into action, and with long, sweeping strides he soon came to a stream. "I haven't come across this before," he muttered hopefully. "I believe I shall follow it and see where I shall come out; but which way must I go, up stream or down?" He seemed to be puzzled a moment, and then he smiled, "I'll do like sister does; " and pointing his. finger first up the stream and then down alternately on each word, he said: "My-mother-says-Imust-take-this one." The last word said go up; so, shouldering his gun, he followed the stream with new courage. He had been walking for half an hour or more when
.J L

suddenly he realized how tired and worn out he felt. He stopped and washed his face _and hands in the stream, and feeling refreshed he made another start. He had been walking this. time about five minutes when he came to an opening. He had kept his eyes steadily on the running 'water, and he was not aware that he was so near--let us see what it was. Instinct told him to look up; and having looked up, he stopped short. Right in front of him was the source of the stream, trickling water falling over the roots of a massive oak imbedded in the hillside. On one side of the spring was a steep embankment covered with green vines. On the other side the bank was not so steep. It was covered with moss and little patches of trailing arbutus. All of this he took in at a glance, but this was not alL On the mossy bank sat a young girl with a book in her lap. Evidently she had heard the noise made by Standsberry's approach, by her erect and listening position; but she must have, thought it was in the opposite direction, as she had her head turned that way. There she sat listening for the continuance of footsteps, while he stood motionless looking at her. He looked down at himself.
" Gee! my shoes are muddy, but the rest of me is not so bad for a huntsman." Then, looking up, he said :, " I wonder who she is, anyway. How in the world am 1 going to let her know I am here? Must I cough? No, that would not do. Suppose 1-" She turned around and gazed at him for fully thirty seconds before Standsberry could find a word in the whole English language suitable for the occasion, and then he was afraid that was not suitable. "Am I trespassing? " he asked as he approached. " It depends altogether why you are here," she replied, rising. "It wasn't my intention this morning to be here; yet you do not know how glad I am to see a human face again. But before I tell you why I am here, perhaps I had better ask your permission." " Not at all, for I've just asked you for an explanation," she answered rather abruptly. That nettled him a little, but he smiled and went on. " I started out hunting this morning at nine o'clock, and, being a stranger here and not familiar with the woods, I was lost in less than an hour after starting out. r am Herbert Standsberry, nephew of CoL 1. H. Standsberry, of this 'county. I am visiting him on my way home from college. Perhaps you know my uncle." When Colonel Standsberry's name was mentioned, she seemed to look on this tall, dark, handsome young stranger with more favor; in fact, he detected a marked change in her manner.
" Yes, I know him real well, as our places join. He and my father, Capt. Bob Lloyd, are great friends." Extending her hand, she continued: " I am glad to meet Colonel Standsberry's nephew, of whom I have heard him speak often." "Thank you, Miss Lloyd," he answered boyishly, catching her slim little hand and giving her such a handshake she winced with pain. Standsberry had been scrutinizing Catherine Lloyd closely, and it seemed to him he had seen this charming person before. "Miss Lloyd, have we not met somewhere before? This is the first time I have been in this section of Virginia the whole four years of my course at the university; but have you ever visited in Savannah, Ga.? " " No, I have never visited there, and I am sure I have never seen you until to-day. But, Mr. Standsberry, you look tired and you must be nearly famished, You've been tramping in these woods all day? Come on up to the house, and maybe I can get you something to eat." She led the way up a little narrow path which came out into the road that ran up to the house. Her every movement was grace itself, and Standsberry's admiring eyes never missed one of those movements. What a head of beautiful brown curls, and what beautiful violet eyes! "Golly!" thought Herbert; " I haven't seen such a beauty for ages. I have certainly seen her before, or else her picture."
"Miss Lloyd, do. you know any of the university bays? " he asked as they came aut to. the road. "Only one, a Mr. Carl Hamilton, Do. you know him? " "Old Hamilton? Well, I guess I do.. He and I have been rooming together far two. years, and the fellows call me his shadow, Now I know why I thought I knew yau-and I do.through him in two. ways. First, he talks of you very, very often; and, second, he has a good picture of you. That's his fraternity pin you have an, isn't it, Miss Lloyd? " Catherine blushed and looked up at him reproachfully. Then it came to. him that he did not have the right to. be asking her such a question. He forgot he did not know her as well as he did Hamilton, so. he changed the subject hurriedly. "What were you reading when I came up? " " I was sketching' The Courtship of Miles Standish.' It has been a long time since I studied it, But here we are at the house. Mather is away this afternoon . and our cook is off an a two-weeks' vacatian; but I know haw to. prepare a lunch. Haw would you like to. have it aut here an the parch where it is cool ? Not a bit af trouble, so.don't let that worry you. Came in here and get this table in the hall, while I go. far your lunch." She hurried away. " So. she is the girl who. turned Hamilton dawn week before last," said Herbert, getting the hall table and carrying it aut an the porch. "But she still has his pin. I wander if she has changed her mind since that
last pleading letter of Hamilton's. I don't blame him far hanging an if he can. She certainly is a winning girl. Gee! I feel sorry far Hamilton, but I can't help hoping she hasn't changed her mind. I am a selfish cad to. hope that, and here I am professing to. be a real friend of Hamilton's." In the meantime Catherine was vaguely wandering what he thought of her. "If he knew I was wearing Carl's pin after having bra ken our engagement, I am sure he wouldn't think much of me. I just must put it away until I know Carl's new address." Then she hurried out with Standsberry's lunch, " Here is some cold ham, chicken, and ice tea. Will that do?" "Will that do? Well, if you were as hungry as I am, you would eat cold bread and not say a word." Standsberry noticed that she had not spent all the time in preparing his lunch, from her appearance. " Catherine," called a feeble voice, " That is grandmother calling me. I'll be back presently." "By George! that child knows how to fix a fellow something to eat. I wander if she cooked this." And he wandered on, eating all the while, until she returned. " Miss Lloyd, I am certainly doing this lunch justice. I never had anything to taste quite so good in all my life_" "That is because you are so hungry, Mr. Standsberry," she smiled.
While he finished eating, the conversation veered off to her graduation two weeks ago, and he told her about the M_D_degree he had taken at the university last week. Then Standsberry arose, saying: " I know Uncle Irving is wondering where I am, and I had better hurry home. I thank you, Miss Lloyd, for your kindness. I'll be here for several weeks before I go South. May I come over sometimes while I am here? " "Why, certainly. Come over, and I will show you how to take advantage of country life." " Thank you. Good afternoon, Miss Lloyd. I am really glad I lost my way in the woods this morning." " 0, no flattering! Good-by, Mr. Standsberry," she replied blushingly. For the next six weeks Standsberry was almost a daily visitor. He and Catherine went driving or horseback riding; they went fishing down on the pond; and, best of all, they proved quite a match at tennis. Catherine's friends said: "To be with Catherine is to love her." Herbert proved t~ be no exception. By the end of a month he had commenced to feel that he didn't care ever to see Savannah again as long as he could be with Catherine. Yet he felt like a blackguard when he thought of Hamilton. It is true he had not seen Catherine wearing Hamilton's pin, but she might have lost or broken it. Neither one had said a word about Hamilton since that first day, and neither knew why. " By George! I want her myself if I can get her; but I never could feel right about it as long as I do not really know whether it is all up between her and Ham-
ilton. Now his letter I received to-day says: ' Speak a word for me, old pal.' I am going to probe around this very evening and, in speaking a word for him, see where I stand." It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and Standsberry, in his white flannel suit with a tennis racket resting on his shoulder, was on his way over to see Catherine. " I wonder if Miss Catherine is looking for me this afternoon." He would hardly have guessed that Catherine had in reality been looking for him nearly every afternoon since she had met him. On this particular afternoon she was out on the porch sitting with her back to the road, and her mind was busy comparing Carl and Herbert. How different Herbert was from Carl! Her-路 bert was nothing more than a boy in his ways, while Carl was just the reverse. Then Carl seemed to pick out every little word in conversing, while Herbert rushed on impulsively, and often calling on her for help when he was sure she knew what he meant. Her reverie was soon broken by a cheery voice from the back. "A little early this afternoon, Miss Catherine; but I want to playoff the tie 'to-day," said Standsberry approaching. They went down to the tennis court and played until supper. Catherine was one ahead. "Never mind, I'll get you after supper," Herbert said, showing a little disappointment.
" Come on to supper and don't feel so badly about being beaten by a girl," Catherine teased. After supper they went back to the court and played until dark, and still Catherine was just that one ahead. " Who taught you how to play, Miss Catherine? " he asked, as they started toward the house. " Carl was my first instructor." " Well, he certainly did a good job that time, just like he always does. Come on, let's take a walk down toward the orchard. I hate to go near a house when we have such moonlight nights as these." Catherine did not care about going, because she was quite tired after playing tennis; but since he asked her -well, she would go. " When did you hear from Hamilton, Miss Lloyd? "
asked Herbert abruptly, feeling sure she heard his heart beat against his ribs. " I don't know exactly. Why?" "Nothing. Hamilton certainly is a fine old boy. He was a good student, too. I understood just before I left college that you and he would soon be 'Two minds with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.'
Is that so?" He tried to speak lightly, but it was a miserable failure. He did not wait for an answer, but plunged on madly, hardly knowing what he was saying: " I'll tell you, Miss Catherine, he is certainly a good boy." " Mr. Standsberry, have you ever read' The Courtship of Miles Standish? ' " ALICE BELLE MARTIN.

JARRATT
7'he Unhappy Pair I. .~
ICHARD is the most bashful person I have ever met, excepting myself. . It is so easy for any girl to embarrass him, and, of course, especially easy for me. There is a good deal of Richard, and when he frowns and pinks up he looks perfectly lovely. So I was very much disappointed to see that he didn't pink up a bit when I first told him that they had decided on a day to 'announce our engagement. By "they" I mean my family-Aunt Justina and Aunt Gertrude and Bess, who have been running Richard's and my engagement-well, since he told Aunt Justina that he had to marry me or die. " Well, let 'em announce it," he said. "What do we care? " " But you don't see," I explained. "They are going to give an afternoon reception to pet and patronize." " Pet who? " asked Dick. I noticed by his grammar that he was beginning to be scared. " Pet us, you goose! " I said.
J 1.
" Must I be on hand? " said he. I tried to freeze, the way Aunt Justina does in church. " I didn't know, Polly," he said, crestfallen and nice. " I .have never been announced before. Why can't we be engaged and announced and married all by ourselves, and let everybody else go to the-" " Richard! " I shouted just in time; but he finished the sentence in his mind, and I guess I did, too. You will hardly blame us when you understand about Northover, where I live. It is a sleepy, beautiful village, and it hasn't much to do except to look at views and discuss pronunication. There are lots of girls in Northover, and also girls who have grown up and never married. This makes it rather awful to be engaged in Northover. After the engagement was decided and Dick had gone back to New York, Aunt Justina and Aunt Gertrude and Bess were very angelic about it. We all four were absolutely happy. When we had finished crying, we had dinner, and there was a tomato soup.
" Richard likes clear green turtle, Polly," said Aunt Gertrude, with a mechanical smile. "I will give you a receipt." She meant to be pleasant, I knew, but I had a little shiver on my backbone just the sa~e. I could feel those pleasantries coming along at every meal. Almost immediately, too, they began to talk about presents. "Uncle Jerry will probably give you this, if we mention it to him, and cousin Miranda that, and I must suggest to Margaret Tweedie-" O! They joked me about Dick's letters-the same solemn, dutiful jokes every morning for breakfast. It got on my nerves like anything. I always did hate to be patronized by older people who seem to imagine they know more about me than I do. If I could only have seen Richard oftener, everything would have been all right; but his engineering. business in New York allowed him to come to Northover very seldom. I don't think Richard is particularly fond of anybody in Northover, excepting me. He once said that Northover is too" nosy." IL That I should let myself be bothered so by my dearest family made me ashamed of my horrid, bashful disposition, and also made me afraid of Northover after the engagement was announced. The night before the announcement reception, Richard came and stayed at the Northover Hotel. Our guest rooms were full of relatives-Uncle Jerry and
Mrs. Uncle Jerry and Cousin Miranda. Richard was introduced and pinked up splendidly. " Polly, we are a pair of childish fools," said Richard. "That party to-morrow can't last so very long." " It will last fifty times longer," I said, "than the family introduction did to-night." " That fresh clerk at the hotel has given me one shot already," growled Dick. "I wanted to punch his face." In the forenoon the only sign of Richard was an enormous box of roses. I had a terrible fright when it occurred to me that he might be il1, or that he might have a telegram to' go to New York. I couldn't eat any lunch, and my backbone shivered without a moment's rest. The afternoon tea was at five o'clock, and at three I cried and told Aunt Justina that I was going to lie down. Aunt Justina looked at me queerly and felt my temples, I didn't know it until afternoon, but it seems that my mother's sister used to have hysterics, and once walked in her sleep. Well, I locked myself in my bedroom and just circled around like a bat. At five o'clock Bess knocked on the door to tell me that Richard hadn't come or sent any word. I heard carriages crunching on the driveway and company voices. Suddenly I must have gone crazy with the desire to run, like people in a panic, for when I recovered my senses I was outside of my window on the sloping roof of the side piazza, and I couldn't get back! I ducked behind the slope of the roof and dropped by a trellis to the ground. My dress was torn, and I
was a sight. I scurried through the hedge into the back lane to our pasture. A brook runs across the pasture, and the brook is a lovely hiding place under the trees. There is a shaded pool and a tiny waterfall, and a big flat rock. It is the place where Dick told me how much he loved me. I decided to walk there and tidy myself, and then to go home and trust in Providence. A man was lying on the rock smoking a pipe. He jumped up. " Polly! " he said. It was Dick. III. I hope I shall not again be so mad at anybody as long as I live. "You-you coward! " I called him. I would have said " despicable," but I never could pronounce it. " I know," said Dick, "I'm a coward. I'm a quit- . ter." This confession rather took the wind out of my sails. Besides, I had to laugh. Dick looked so ridiculous. He was dressed for an afternoon tea, but his long black coat was rumpled, and his shiny silk hat was rolling into the brook. " 0, you poor hat! " I said. We both reached for it, and he caught my hand instead of the hat. " Can you forgive me? " said Dick, sort of trembly. "I lost my sand. But, honestly, I was going to the tea
after I smoked one pipe. How did you guess I was here? " The whole thing was so absurd that I covered my face and shook. " Lord! " groaned Dick. "Don't cry, Polly." " I'm not," I said, choking. " You are," said he. "You have a right to. I'm an ill-mannered idiot. Let's go home and be announced. Look at your dress! All because you had to hunt me up. You witch, how did you know I'd take refuge here? I am an ill-mannered-" "No," said I; "and if you are, I am one, too. I ran away. I didn't know where you were." He started and smiled slowly. Richard has a heavenly smile, and there is plenty of it. Then he sat down beside me on that beloved rock, and the brook did all the sensible talking that was necessary for quite a while. You can have no idea how quickly the time passed unless you had sat on a rock under similar circumstances. When the factory whistle sounded faintly, I jumped. " Six o'clock!" I gasped. "The tea! Come on! " " It's six-twenty," said Dick, looking at his watch. " There's a church bell ringing." " Must be a fire," I said. "In Northover everybody goes to a fire." Dick chuckled. "That's good!" he said. "The reception will be thinned out, sure. Hardly anybody will be left. We can sneak in quietly-and-"
I asked him what kind of a story he would possibly tell Aunt Justina. " Listen! " said Dick. "I'll tell the story and take all the blame of it, too. I happened along under your window this afternon and asked you to walk before the reception. You came, I twisted my ankle on a bowlder, and that delayed us. How's that? All right, I guess. But, best of all, Polly, we've escaped the chatter and the handshaking and the announcement, and everything! It's the greatest luck I ever heard of!" I was so carried away by this good fortune that I forgot my locked bedroom door. We said good-by to the brook, and decided that it was wonderfully poetic for us to have been engaged and announced on exactly the same spot. Richard began to limp so awfully that he put his arm around my shoulders for a crutch. It was pleasant walking that way, and we didn't cut. through the hedge, but turned down the lane into the main street. At the corner Dick stopped still and pointed. " Good gracious! " I screamed. The Northover hose cart-Cataract No. I-and the ladder thing-Hercules No.2-were in front of our house. The lawn was packed with people like a circus ground, " Hurry! " said Dick, grabbing my wrist. He tore along the sidewalk. It was the quickest cure of a sprained ankle you ever saw. Mr. Mincer, the constable, was sitting on the ladder truck. When he saw us, he shouted and waved his hat and rang the gong. The crowd in the yard yelled and laughed as we
raced to our piazza through a little path they made for us. On the piazza were the chief of the fire department and the chairman of select men and Sheriff Hoppock and ever so many others. The open doors and windows were jammed with the afternoon-tea people. They cheered and laughed as we ran up the steps. ,"Any damage? " panted Dick. . "Damage," said Uncle Jerry, on the broad grin. "Just as if a happy pair couldn't announce their engagement without raising a riot! " " What do you mean, sir? " said Dick. "Aunt Justina! " I sobbed, but I hung tight to Dick's elbow. "Justina is just coming to," said Cousin Miranda, with a bottle of smelling salts. "It was my fault, Polly. We broke in your door. We couldn't find you, and it was terrible. I telephoned for police or somebody, and they must have misunderstood me-but--" " Three cheers for Miss Polly Randall! " trumpeted the chief of the fire department. Dick and I faced about. I never realized before what a large population there was in Northover. "And for Mr. Richard Chapin!" bellowed Sheriff Hoppock. They roared. They dmgled the bells on the fire wagons. They formed a line which reached across the street to shake our hands. " I wonder if there's time to call out the ' Triumph Drum Corps? ' " said the chairman of the select men.
Well, it was over at last. My fingers ached from congratulations, and Dick had pinked enough,' as Uncle Jerry said, for an Alpine sunset. Aunt Justina had forgiven us. We were on the piazza in the twilight, watching Hugh, our old gardener, patch the places in
the lawn where the announcement party had cut up the dust. "It was a lesson," I said. "I shall never blush again;" " I can't," sighed Dick. FANNIE

This book, which is the twenty-second volume of our GRADED CLASSIC SERIES, contains a delightful group of fables selected for second-grade reading, inculcating moral lessons such as children in that grade may be expected to appreciate and would be better for knowing. A unique feature of the book is the classification of the fables according to the moral lessons they convey.

HEINZ 57 VARIETIES Experts differ on scientific questions, and so they naturally differ about the harmfulness of Benzoate of Soda in prepared foods, but Heinz "57 Varieties" contain no Benzoate of Soda or other ingredient of doubtful nature. They are made of fresh, sound fruit and vegetables, in clean kitchens, and by neat working people, and Benzoate of Soda is not needed to make them keep. Anything that's Heinz is safe to buy

my previous impression was wrong.

is to be continued.
