" g u i l t y " r i n g i n g in his ears. A g a i n
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE II
he heard that startled cry of protest
which told him that Mollie's faith
was still unshaken. A g a i n he listened as in a dream, to a trembling,
husky voice pronouncing sentence
upon him. H e dared not look up
into th« kindly, pityi'ng face, for
though this man had been his
father's best friend, the vagrant
knew this old friend believed him
guilty.
T h e trial finally drew to a close.
H e saw Mollie led out by the only
relative he and she had left in the
world.
H e r parting smile had
sunk
deep into his memory to
remain with him all the days of his
l i f e ; that brave loving smile so full
of faith in him and hope for the
future.
Y e s , history was certainly repeating itself, only this time he
was not the victim.
L o n g ago,
though
innocent, he had
been
made to suffer for the g u i l t y ; now,
though guilty, he was to g o free
and another to suffer in his place.
H e was sorry for the lad; o h ! yes,
he was sorry. T h e great appealing eyes of the boy haunted him.
H e wished he had not gone to the
trial yesterday, for he could not
banish from his mind the despairing, heart-broken
look on
the
y o u n g man's face as his sentence
was pronounced, and his frail, hardworking
little mother was born
fainting from the court room.
It was hard on those two, of
course it was hard; but the term
of punishment was not a long one,
and the boy was young.
Three
years could not matter much to a
lad of his age. If he himself were
well now he would g o back and
face those three years.
B u t that
was just where the trouble layH e was sick and worn and his one
hope was in Mollie.
It was a stifling day in midsum-
mer. E v e n on that shady hillside
the heat was almost intolerable.
W h a t must it be down there in the
sun-baked prison yard, shut in by
the high brick walls he knew so
well. A n d that poor boy
down
there, and that poor little mother!
W h y should they persist in haunting him so? His feet were turned
in a new direction, and there must
be no looking back. H e resolutely
closed his eyes, determined to think
only of Mollie and the happy
future to which he was travelling.
W h e n he awoke he was trembling in every limb, great drops of
perspiration stood out upon his
forehead. H e sat up and looked
around him. T h e sun was nearing
the horizon. H e became aware of
a new sound which seemed to harmonize with the sylvan stillness
rather than break in upon it. T h e
faint notes of an organ floated to
him on the evening breeze and
mingled with them, came the tones
of a woman's voice, subdued by
distance, but sweet and tender and
strangely familiar.
Fascinated, he arose and moved
in the direction of the music, making his way with difficulty through
the thicket of trees and bushes. H e
was still in the clearing when the
music ceased. Out of the wayside
church appeared a woman walking
slowly.
The
wanderer
started,
then hid deeper in the shadow of
the trees, for the woman was his
sister.
A Kttle later he stood once more
in the country road gazing hungerily at the hills. Beyond those
hills lay home—and Mollie.
He
fancied he could see her, with
hands oultstretched in loving welcome, her voice calling his name.
Then her figure was eradicated by
a vision of the boy down yonder,
the boy in prison stripes, looking
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE II
out with despairing eyesi through
the barred window of his narrow
cell. F o r a moment the man stood
there hesitating, then faced resolutely towards the east and commenced to retrace the weary miles
he had traveled that morning with
hope in his heart. T h e hope was
gone, but in its place was something better, a great,
wonderful
content and peace.
T h e radiance gradua^lly
faded
from the sky, the twilight shadows
deepened into night, the stars came
peeping and twinkling one by one,
and still his tired feet pressed onward. T h e moon rose gloriously
and looked calmly down upon the
solitary figure moving along the
country road. A t the same moment
it looked hopefully down upon a lad
in prison stripes, sitting in the narrow window of the prison cell and
upon a mother not far away.

WHAT
FOOLS
WE
T A L S BE.
MOR-
T h e girl who checked the soiled
linen was the first to discover the
writing on the cuJff. It was in a
hasty, sprawling, back-hand, yet
legible enough, and being in indelible ink though smudged somewhat,
it had not been obliterated in any
part as yet.
A f t e r she had read the writing,
she passed the cuff to the next girl,
and from her that article of attire
passed under review of every pair
of eyes in the laundry. T h e proprietor coming into the
room,
after the cuff had gone around, got
hold of it and read the writing on
it.
" S o m e broker's c u f f , " he said,
and carried the article into his
office- H e r e one of his office clerks
saw him make a note of the writ-
ing on the cuf¥. A n d when this fact
was circulated among the other
employes, they, too, thought well
to make a note of it. T h e y would
be as wise as their employer and
perhaps would profit as greatly by
their knowledge. Such a tip as the
cuff offered did not fall to them
every day.
W h e n the cuff, washed and dried,
came from the machine, it still bore
the writing that had caused such
excitement among the employes.
T h e girl whose duty it was to wrap
the laundry for delivery, gave a
last look at the writing on the cuff,
to make sure that she had read it
all right.
Thank goodness, she
had, for only that noon she had
gone without her lunch, and hurrying down to the bank, had
drawn fifty dollars from her savings, and invested it in ten shares
of A j a x Oil for the writing on the
cuff read:
" Buy A j a x Oil—any
price under $ 5 0 . — L y n n to bull it."
Y e s , the cuff read A j a x Oil,
and it was A j a x Oil she had
bought.
She had paid five dollars
per share for it, and perhaps before
the week was out she could sell it
at fifty dollars per share.
For
Lynn, the Oil K i n g , was bulling it,
or so the cuff said, and Lynn had
spelled both fortune and ruin to
thousands many times during the
past year.
Several other
employees in the laundry were
as
interested as this girl in A j a x Oil,
for they too had taken the tip and
had invested, but the proprietor of
the shop was more deeply i n t e r ested than any of his help, as he
had bought heavily in A j a x .
T h e r e had been something persuasive about the writing on the
cuff. It was a kind of secret tip
from the inner circle, one of those
things that aren't advertised, but
are kept closely guarded by the
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE II
knowing, who make fortunes over
night on W a l l Street.
H e had looked up the name and
address of the party to whom the
cuff belonged, and found that gentleman to be a certain Orville
Brown, living at a fashionable
apartment near Central Park,
A
good man from whom to take a tip,
rich himself, and v e r y likely knowing how to make others rich, should
he choose to tell. A n d the writing
on the cuff was telling, by accident.
When, however, a week after
purchasing a thousand shares of
A j a x Oil, the stock fell heavily
the proprietor of the laundry g r e w
nervous, then suspicious.
Why
should a wealthy man, residing at a
fashionable apartment, have sent
out his linen to a public laundry?
And, how came a wealthy man to
be wearing detached c u f f s ?
Clearly
there
was
something
deeper here than eccentricity, anc^
when A j a x took another heavy
drop and the proprietor of the
laundry fund that he could not
sell his thousand shares for onetenth of the sum he had paid for
them, he made a few inquiries
about the city, among other laundries, to learn that the gentleman
named Orville B r o w n must have
more arms than human as he had
on the same week left cuffs at
about every laundry in N e w Y o r k ,
while on the left cuff of each pair
was written, in indelible ink, the
tip: " B u y A j a x Oil, any price
under $50. L y n n to bull it."
T h e laundry man saw too late
that he had been led into a trap,
cunningly set and baited; and when
a month later, the broker B r o w n
got all his ill-gotten gains in A j a x
wiped out by a short in copper,
there was great rejoicing among
the several thousand laundry employers and employees, who had
been led into the unique trap of the
stock market tip on the cuff.

T H E RACE.
T h e r e was great excitement in
the little mining town of T u x e d o .
A prospector had come down from
the mountains spreading the news
that gold had been found in large
quantities at a place up in the
mountains.
Several years before
numerous cabins had been built
here and had later been deserted
as no gold had been found. T h e
gold was there, however, had they
mined deep enough and now it had
been rediscovered. E v e r y one was
making a wild dash to reach the
place and stake out the most favorable claims. A regular stampede
had set out from T u x e d o where
most of the mines were already
g i v i n g out.
A t T u x e d o was a man named
Philip Merritson. H e had been a
teacher in a small eastern college
for a number of years. Ill health
had caused his dismissal and he was
ordered west. Together with his
daughter Molly, he had wandered
from place to place through the
western
states and had finally
reached the town of Tuxedo.
He
was not a business man and his
little pile of savings was now exhausted. Just then came the news of
the new gold fields just found, and
filled with the hope of bettering his
fortunes he was going to join the
company of miners setting out.
But Fate had ordained otherwise.
A contagious fever had been raging
in T u x e d o a few weeks before and
now it attacked Philip Merritson
whose weak body was unable to
throw it off. H e rapidly g r e w
worse and became delirious. In his
ravings he continually spoke of the
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE II
pitiful condition of their fortunes
until Molly could stand it no
longer.
Why
cannot I g o to the
mines ? " she asked herself.
With
Molly to think of a plan was to do
it and without waiting for sober,
second thought, she mingled with
the throng of miners who were just
starting.
T h e new mines were at length
reached. T h e T u x e d o people were
among the first arrivals and Molly
secured a claim near the place where
the gold had first been seen and
took possession of an abandoned
cabin there.
B u t the claims secured must be
filed at the government office at
Millton, a little town eight miles
down the mountain. Crowds were
now pouring in from places further
distant and Molly hesitated about
setting out again into the throng as
there were many desperate looking
men among the miners.
Just then two men stopped in
front of the cabin, glanced at Molly
and then one advanced toward her
and said, " W h e r e ' s your father
Missie?"
" He's
Molly.
ill
at
Tuxedo,"
replied
A glance passed between the two,
then assuming a fiercer tone the
spokesman of the two said or rather
growled, " T h e n this claim ain't
been registered and we're g o i n g to
have it, s e e ? "
Molly drew back in fear, she had
heard of claim jumpers but had
never come in close contact with
any before.
" I'll stay and see to the claim
Pete," volunteered the man who had
not yet spoken, " and you hike down
to Millton."
T h e n he turned to tremblingMolly and said, " N o w you get out.
o r — " but Molly did not stay to hear
the alternative.
H o w e v e r , she had no intentions
of g i v i n g up so easily. She had no
friends to help her but she determined
to beat the redoubtable
' ' P e t e " to Millton. H e had already started, but she had seen him
take the regular road.
O v e r the
mountain was a trail to Millton,
overgrown in places, but still able
to be traversed.
It was shorter
than the regular road, but harder
to travel. T o g o this w a y and to
go
quickly
was
Molly's
only
chance.
She started at once. T h e trail
v/as at
first
unobstructed
and
Molly was half running, half walking
and
swiftly
covering
the
distance between her and her goal.
Soon, however, the way became
rougher. A slide of slate like rock
had swept over the narrow path
and Molly had to g o around it. She
crawled through the underbrush,
pushing aside the vines
which
caught at her with a thousand
hands.
H e r clothes were torn and her
hands scratched by brambles.
Her
breath was coming in gasps.
She
stumbled, and slid down a bank,
almost rolling into a deep stream
which ran black and slimy through
the dead leaves in the hollow.
Grasping a tree, she leaned against
it for a moment to recover her
breath. T h e n with a shudder she
plunged into the swollen stream,
waded to the other bank and again
started half running along the
trail.
Only a dim light filtered through
the dense foliage. T h e howl of a
wildcat came from above and the
soft pat, pat, of running feet could
be heard through the deep silence.
Glancing behind her, Molly saw a
tawny shape slinking along the
T H E CRIMSON ANDWHITEII
trail a few yards off. Filled with
terror, her feet scarcely touched
the ground. Weariness was forgotten and with wildly beating
heart she sped on, on, how far she
did not know.
Just when she was despairing of
ever reaching Millton she saw its
l i g h t s — f o r it was now
growing
d u s k — g l e a m i n g in the valley below. Hope now upheld her. She
reached the Main street of the
village and sank almost fainting on
the steps of the registry office.
She
arose quickly,
however,
stepped into the office and gave the
boundaries of her claims to the
agent who looked curiously at her
flushed face and disheveled appearance. H e was not used to having
young ladies bouncing into his
office and breathlessly urging h i m —
a government official—to hurry.
Stepping out of the registry she
saw a group of men, among whom
her eager eyes swiftly discerned the
form of Pete laughing and joking,
unmindful of any opposition to his
plans.
Thinking discretion the better
part of valor, now that she had what
she desired, Molly did not wait to
see him enter the registry.
A
LESSON.
T h e old clock on the city hall
t o w e r struck nine as F r a n k E a t o n
closed the door of J u d g e A r n o l d ' s
s t u d y and stepped o u t into the
dark rainy night.
H e buttoned

T h e n c a m e the first break in the
happiness, the first m a r u p o n

A chill ran
t h r o u g h his f o r m as he recalled
the m o r n i n g he had f o u n d t h e

AVhy had he deceived the J u d g e ?

A
y o u n g Japanese, with
the
national love of cleanliness, came to
London to study. A s he was a
stranger in the city he had to select
his own lodgings.
H i s first choice was not h a p p y ;
the hall especially was very dirty.
This the new comer did not like,
but decided to say nothing then.
O n e rainy day the maid-servant
put up this notice: " Please wipe
you feet."
Seizing his opportunity the Japanese student wrote underneath:
" On going out."

A s we have fallen victims to this
department, we have the pleasure
of welcoming this year's exchanges
and wishing them a successful year.
T h e papers submitted to our consideration thus far have been the
commencement numbers. These in
our opinion, should be the best of
the year. O n the contrary, they are
not. T h e majority allow the senior
class to monopolize their columns.
O f course, June is the senior's
month, and they should have a
large share in the June issues, but
not at the expense of the other
departments.

" M y Dear Mr. C a r n e g i e : — I see
by the papers that you are very
prosperous. I want to get a hymn
book. It costs six shillings. I will
bless you, H e a v e n will bless you

A
school teacher having instructed a pupil to purchase a
grammar, the next day received a
note thus worded, from the child's
mother:
" I do not desire for L u l u shall
ingage in grammar, as I prefer
ingage in youseful studies and can
learn her how to spoke and write
properly myself. I have went thru
two grammars and I can't say as
they did me no good, I prefer her
ingage in german and drawing and
vocal music on the p i a n o . " — E x .
Mrs. Flint always demanded instant and unquestioning obedience
from her children. O n e afternoon
a storm came up and she sent her
son John to close the trap door
leading to the roof.
" But, m o t h e r — " said John.
" John, I told you to shut the
trap door."
" Y e s , but m o t h e r — "
" J o h n , shut the trap door."
" A H right, mother, if you say so,
but—"
"John!"
John slowly climbed the stairs
and shut the trap-door. T h e storm
howled and raged.

later the family gathered for tea.

John answered

" Please, mother, she is up on the

" W h a t do you mean by keeping
me standing on the corner like an
idiot ? " demanded an angry husband, whose w i f e had kept him
waiting to g o shopping with her.
" N o w , really, dear," she replied
sweetly, " I can't help the way you
stand."
Spinster Jane was being condoled with because she had no husband.
" S a v e your pity," she said independently. " I have a dog that
growls, a parrot that swears, a
lamp that smokes, and a cat that
stays out nights. N o w why should
I get married ? "
T h e bill poster is responsible for
a startling announcement on a

placed immediately above a placard

result:

A benevolent person watched a
workman
laboriously windlassing
rock from a shaft while a broiling
sun was beating down on his bared
head.
" M y dear man," observed the
onlooker, " are you not afraid that
your brain will be affected in the
hot s u n ? "
The
laborer contemplated him
for a moment and then replied:
" Do you think a man with an}'
brains would be working at this
kind of a j o b ? "

" D o you know where Johnny
L o c k e lives, my little b o y ? " asked
a gentle-voiced old lady.
" H e ain't home, but if you give
me a penny I'll find him for you
right oflf," replied the lad.
" A l l right, you're a nice
boy. N o w where is he ? "
"Tanks—I'm

" W h o can tell me," asked the
Sunday-school teacher, " what became of the swine that had the evil
spirits cast into them?"
Little Johnny, who reads the
papers, raised his hand:
" Please, ma'am, they wus all

Oliver H e r f o r d once entered a
doubtful looking restaurant in a
small N e w Y o r k town and ordered
a lamb-chop. A f t e r a long delay
the waiter returned, bearing a plate
on which reposed a dab of mashed
potatoes and a much overdone chop
of microscopical proportions with a
remarkably long and slender rib
attached. This the waiter set down
before him and then hurried away.
" See here," called Herford, " I
ordered a chop."
" Y e s sir," replied the man,
" there it is."
" A h , so it is," replied Herford,
peering at it closely. " I thought it
was a crack in the plate."
A private, anxious to secure a
leave of absence, sought his captain
with a most convincing tale about a
sick w i f e breaking her heart for his
presence. T h e officer, familiar with
the soldier's ways, replied:
" I am afraid you are not telling
the truth. I have just received a
letter from your wife urging me not
to let you come home because you
get drunk, break the furniture, and
mistreat her shamefully."
T h e private saluted and started

to leave the room. H e paused at
the door, a s k i n g : " Sor, may I
spake to you, not as an officer, but
as mon to mon ? "
" Y e s ; what is i t ? "
" W e l l , sor, w h a t I a m a f t e r
sayin' is t h i s — " approaching the
captain and lowering his v o i c e :
" Y o u and I are two of the most

A little girl in Cleveland was
playing with her trinkets on the
parlor floor while an older sister
was drumming with much persistency on the piano.
" Play louder, Eloria," spoke up
the child.
T h e girl at the keys felt flattered
and, with an elated smile, asked:
" S o you like to hear me play, do
you darling ? "
" N o , I don't," came the unexpected and emphatic reply. " I
wanted you to play louder so papa
would tell you to stop."
Mrs. M . ' s patience was much
tried by a servant who had a habit
of standing around with her mouth
open. One day, as the maid waited
upon table, her mouth open as
usual, and her mistress g i v i n g her
a severe look, said:
" Mary, your mouth is open."
" Yessum,"
replied
Mary,
" I
