BILLY'S THANKSGIVING.
It was Thanksgiving inoniiiig. The golden sun was just peeping
up over the distant hills, when ten-year-ohl Jjilly hurried along the
road to the village. It was a cold njorning and th(i little hoy's hands
were bare and he had no warm coat to ])rotect hini. lie'cari'ied a
({uarter in his hand with which to l)uy soniti ])rovisions foi- the day.
(All his ])ock(its had long since ac([uircd oulkits for their contents.)
Billy wasn't happy. \h) ke])t thinking of the many children in
the village and all the things thtsy wouhl enjoy on. that day. When
lu^ reacluHl home he could not hel|) mjticing the contrast between his
father's shabby little tenement in the middh; of a small untidy yard
and the houses in the village.

After breakfast iJilly went out in the yai'd to chop some wood.
He stopped to rest after a whih^ and look ai-ound him. What was
that s o u n d l i e sti'ained his ears, ^'es, it was coming nearer and
it was the sound of horses' hoofs heating ra|)i(lly on the hard road.

THE CRIMSON ANt) WHITE
He wont to the front of the lionse to see who was riding by so early.
Wliy were tliey eoniing so fast ? lie wondered. H e waited breathlessly for the object of his cnriosity to ap])eai'.
Aronnd the l)ond in the road came a beautiful grey horse with
head thrown back, nostrils distended, and eyes wide with terror,
(ylinging to his neck was a young girl screaming with fright. Her
lovely golden hair streamed out behind her. She had been riding
ride saddle and her feet were hopelessly entangled in the stirrups.
Pour liilly! He wasn't naturally a brave boy, but he saw that it
was up to him to stop that hoi'se. He noticed that the bridle rein was
dangling from the horses neck, and he jumped into the middle of
'(lie road just in time to catch it.
He clung to it with all his might,
l)ut even then the animal went on quite a distance, not daunted by
I he added weight u])on his neck.
I Lilly's father, alarmed by the screams for help, rushed out of the
house just iu time to see his son' stop the horse.
They helped the
reri'iiied girl to dismount and then recognized her as their landlord's
daughter, who lived in the mansion house about a half mile up the
road.
Slu' was very grateful to Billy, and insisted u])on his walking home with her.
They led the horse between them, for he was
slill ([uite frisky.
Jjilly took him to the barn when they reached
the house.
When he came back Miss Ruth called him in and gave
him a big basket to take home.
She had told her ])arents of her
rescue and her father gave Billy a. brand-new ten dollar gold piece.
The b( y was so lui])py and so embarrassed that he could hardly thank
them.
When he got on I of doors he fairly ran all the way home, even
though the l)asket was very heavy.
lie burst into the kitchen
sci'eaming, " Motlier, mothei', see what she gave me! "
MotluM came inniiediately, and when she opened the basket and
saw the ten dollars she nearly cried for joy.
She took Hilly in her
iMins and kissed him again and again.
The ('(intents of that basket made those children's eyes stick out, I
can t(dl you.
'' i.ook at the tnrkey! " sipiealed baby sistei'.
" And th(> ])iesl '' ci ied a small brother.
' ' A n d tlie c n n d y ! " cried a thii-d, making a dive at it with his
dirty little hand, only to be stopped by mother.
Oh what good things there weiv, and what a happy day they had !
When jjilly ciawled into bed that night he decided that he certainly
did have something to be thaid<ful for.

T H E MESSAGE OF T H E BELLS.
Hidden dcejily in the beautiful, verdant forests, like a tender
tlower in the m i d s t of stately pines, nestled the iirav monastery of
Santo Domingo.
The old bells continued to ])eal forth daily npoii
(he clear air, as they had been doing' for many years, sending a message of comfort and cheer to weary wayfarei's who chanced to be
Avandering, lost, thru the great forest.
In the year of 1 9 — they had sounded their custonuirv greeting
and had reached the ears of one dohn Eaton, tired of the ways of
the world, and deprived of the dearest on earth to him.
They had
failed, however, to minister to this traveler's comfort, but still they
had allured him to the quiet refuge beneath the trees.
Here he
remained, with a spirit of unrest shining forth from the dec'p eyes,
and an expression of discontent upon the finely (diiseled countenance.
He adapted himself to the ways of the good monks, ])aced up and
down the faintly-lighted cloisters and within the ancient (diapel
thru whose stained-glass windows soft light entered to brighten and
g'lorifv the dim recesses of the little temple.
Each year, upon a certain day of fast, the monks of Santo
Domingo united services with a neighboring abbey.
This de]iarture
necessitated the remaining of some of the moid^s to await jiossible
new-comers and bid them welcome.
Eaton, alone, was placed on
duty one of these evenings.
It was a wintry night, the twentyfourth of December, and the snow was still falling upon the already
whitened world.
The wind howled mournfully thru the shivering
trees, bereft now of their beautiful summer garments.
A cheerful
fire glowed in the front hall of the monastery.
The silence, within,
was profound.
Suddenly, the solitary watcher was startled from the res'crie into
which he had allowed himself to fall by -the sound of a call without.
Was it the wind?
Surely the wind could not make so human a cry!
Again it sounded.
Convinced of the reality of the affair, Eaton
sprang from his seat and dashed to the oaken door.
Rapidly he
unbarred it and thrust it open.
A man covered with snow and well-nigh frozen staggered hopc^fnlly toward the ray of light, stund)led and fell.
The fall completed the state of stupefaction into which the travelei' had already
sunk.
With all his strength Eaton pulled the unconscious form
within the shelter of the monastery.
As he reached the light he
gave a low gasp of surprise.
Tt was the man by whom he had been
so dee]")ly wronged.
38
THE CRIMSON ANt) WHITE
John Eaton placed tho man npon a low coucli which stood before
the bright fire. Then he strode up and down the length of the room,
strnggling with himself.
The nearest doctor was at the vilhige, two
miles away, and John could do little without him.
On a pleasant
night that would have been no great distance, but to-night?
Conld
he ''overcome evil with g o o d ? "
Would this uian do as much for
him?
Ko, that was easy to answer!
Thruout flohn's entire life
the man had done him nothing but harm and finally, under pretense
of friendshi]), had done him this intinite wrong.
In (he- midst of this contention out upon the night, aii- rang the
bells, cl(>ar, sti'oug, unwa\'ering.
" (}o," th(\y sang out, " g o ! "
With rcvei'ent, u])-lifted face he listened — and reached his decision.
.Vfter cai'ing for the man to resuscitate him slightly, -lolin clothed
himself warndy and started out. The snow continued to fall heavily.
'J'he wind l)lew keenly, tossing luasses of it toward the ti'aveler, as if
mocking hunuiu endurance.
And indeed, that journey was a test
of endurance.
Once, as -John was about to give up, the bells rang
out cheerily, giving him fresh heart, for this time they seeuunl to
say, '' Courage, courage! "
There is no need to describe th(> feai'fulness of the night, the
]iumerous falls and the knowledge that to halt n)eant death.
At
length, as the sun is sui-e to break sometime thru the heaviest clonds,
the village appeared thru the shi-ouded trees. The doctor, fortunately,
was there, and by means of his sleigh the journey was accomplished
in much less time, altho the dawn, was brightening in the east as
they halted before the silent monastery.
Then came the fight for life, during which the doctor exerted all
his efforts to sustain his patient's stTeugth.
Then the mouient of
retnrned consciousness, of revived vitality, and with it recognition
•)f the man who still paced restlessly n]) and down the room.
A
moment of tense sui'])rise, a meeting glance, a grasp of the hand,
and despite the injury the sick nuni had done him, John Eaton displayed the nobility of his natui'e in srd)lime forgiveness.
Once again the old bells sounded, gladly, trium])hautly, hut then,
for the first time in the entire years of his stay, their message was.
'' Peace on eai-th, good-will toward men."

THE ELUSIVE

PACKAGE.
" How Iiappj iuul ])leasiii<>; iimst life ho in liio coiiiit rics I'm- from
lliissia ! How woiidorfiil it must l)o to liavo oiio I'lilcr and the whole
country in peace! "
This is what Lucy Stanchon siiid as sh(> sat meditating aftei- having finished her tea.
And she knew well that their conntry wns
far from peacefni.
Her fathei-, Steven Stanchon, who was a very
severe and stern man, was a familiar Hgni'(> in Ajnci both in mnnicipal and national affairs; his name often appeared in jirint, hnt all
for the one pnrpose—'to exjiress his views as an anarchisi.
He
was very enthnsiastic, and was the foremost man in the conntry on
the snbject.
Lncy fonnd a solace from i)olitical wrangles and strnggles when
she made the acqnaintance of ILirold Fettanrer.
He was a fine
yonng fellow.
He had completed his edncation at the Japanese
College at Peking, and one conhi see at a glance that he was progressive and intended to make a standing in the Avorld.
FTe belonged
to the aristocracy and was one of the leaders.
The opposition of the father to snch a visitor was not so violent
as one wonld readily suppose.
On the contrary, he showed remarkable friendliness, and politics were never discnssed.
After this had gone on for several months, and the sti'ange friendship continued to develo]"), Lncy noticed a peculiar tone in her
father's voice and a jest to his actions.
Whenever in the company
of the yonng man, or when going to his daily duties, he carried a
small, mysterions package.
One evening after Mr. Fettaurer had left, Lucy went up stairs,
and as she was passing the liln-ary where her father and some of
his colleagnes were gathered she heard her father say:
" ]\ry
danghter has been of great, help to ns and our cunning plan is working smoothly,
Tt will terminate soon.
Then T shall make use of
this little package, and yon know that after the leader falls his
followers grow wealc."
Lncy went to her room.
Had she been of any help to her father
and his friends?
iVo, not that she knew of, for all that tliey were
interested in were their deep laid plots, in which she could not hel])
them. But " the plan " — she hnew nothing of this; " the package "
— yes, she had seen it, but she did not know what it contained;
" t h e l e a d e r " — she knew two leader's with wliom sh(> was connected : her father, but he had no idea of falling from his rank, and
Harold.
Yes, she might aid them in this last connection, since he
was of a different class. But how ? " The plan " — " the package "
40
THE CRIMSON ANt) WHITE
— '' the falling."
She had given an o])portuiiity, and her father
had grasped the advantage in a skilfnl manner.
Bnt he had said
that lie would make use of the parcel soon, and that the leader would
fall — ah, now at last she saw their plan!
l>ut was she going to let this valiant young man be killed through
her involuntary influence''^
No, she could not, for he had been
true to her and she must be equally so to him — and she would !
For several days she watched her father, and each day she saw
him become more absorbed in his woi'k and gradually shrink from
liis worldly surroundings.
But one day as he went about he did not
notice anyone, not even his daughter, in whom he always found
delight.
He left the house clutching the elusive package.
H e had
an anxions expression on his face, and once in a while a fiendish
smile would creep across his countenance.
Now she knew the plan
of his day's work.
Like an eagle she flew to Harold's home. Frantically she mounted
the stairs, for she knew that he s])ent his time at home on the third
floor.
But alas, as she was passing near his study her eyes fell
n]X)n the same small j)ackage which had haunted her for many days
])ast.
Tn a few moments she fonnd liei-self again in the garden, but this
time gras])ing Harold's arm.
They (piickly s])ed off from the house
and as t]u\v came to the boi-der of the lake there was a rumbling and
roaring in the air, a second of horror, and finally a loud report of
the ex])losiou.
Then, as everything lapsed into dim silence, she found herself,
as if in a dream, clasped in the arms of the one whose life she had
saved.

T H E C R Y S T A L SPHERE.
The Novendier night was chill and dark.
A fine snow was falling. changing to rain as it fell.
The lights of the great station
shone dimly as I arrived in ISTew ^'ork.
The weather, however, did
not seem to affect travelers.
People hm-ried to aiul fro, thronging
in and out of the great doorways.
Novertheless, I felt very much
•done as T stood waiting for my brother at the door of the station.
Fresh from the country and a farm at that, I knew nothing of the
ways of the city, but 1 intended to ])e very bravo.
I had not Avaited long when a carriage drove u]) in front of me and
f! man about my brother's height stepped out, and, seeing mo standing beneath the bright light wide-eyed, T suppose, and frightened

looking^ lie beckoned, and catching up my suit case I crossed the
walk and then, before I had time to know what happened, he helped
me into the carriage and it drove ott".
It was not until the lights
of the station faded, and I had time to look around me, that I saw
that the man was not my brother.
1 will never forget how I felt.
I did not cry out, but sat as if frozen to the spot.
JMy companion
v/as tall, very dark and foreign looking.
After awhile I found my
tongue and asked him where he was taking me.
I thought myself
too proud to make an outcry, and did not fully realize the danger of
my position.
The man looked at me sharply before answering.
His eyes were dark and very ])itM'cing, and T felt that he read my
very thoughts.
Wheu he s])ok(', it was in a low, soft voice with a
strong accent, and he only said, " you shall see."
1 leaned back in my seat. A faintiicss was stealing over me.
The
noises of the city grew vague and indistinct.
The rolling of the
carriage lulled me and the twiukling lights became stars.
I do not
know liow far we went, but 1 know that after awhile I awoke with
a start. The carriage had stojiped, and my companion motioned me
to get out.
I shrank back farther into the carriage, but he caught
my arm and said, " Couu', little one, have no fear, y(ju will not be
sorry."
I followed him uj) a Might of steps into a tall dark house iu a
darker street. Up and up we went and then along a dim-lit corridor
into a dim-lit room.
Such a room !
Like one in a fairy tale.
A
])ale blue light came from a quaint lamp of brass that hung in the
center.
Soft carpets covei-ed the floor.
lleavj' velvet curtains
hung in the doorways and hid the windows, and there was present a
strong odor of incense which tended to lull the senses and arouse
the imagination.
In the center of the room was a low carved table,
covered with a strangely ormimental cloth.
In the center of this
table was a small glass ball beautifully transparent and seeming in
the uncertain light to shed a peculiar radiance like a halo around
itself.
All this I saw while standing in the doorway, for there my
companion left me, and it was fully five minutes before I perceived
that the room had an occupant.
Keclining on a divan covered with ])illows was a strange figure
which now advanced to meet me.
It was a tall man in oriental
garments of rich uuiterial.
A long robe of figured satin fell to his
feet, which were covered with satin slippers.
This robe was bound
to his waist by a heavy silken cord with tassels, and he woi-e a
turban of crimson silk. From his nock hung a heavy golden chain,
suspending a charm of exquisite workmanship aiul strange device.
H i s face harmonized well with his costume.
He was dark but very

dreamy.
_Iii iny dazed eoiiditioii I held out niy hand as if I had
always kncnvn him.
l i e also looked at me very shar])ly as the other
man had done, and then s a i d : " .Madame is pre})areil for the revelations which ai-e to follow
I only stared at him, but a dim
i-eali/ation of the uuitter was heginning to ])resent itself to me.
F i n a l l y , he spoke again.
" W i l l madame be seated^ " and then
! f o u n d my tongue ami said, " I am afraid there is some mistake,
sir, .1 did not come here uiyself.
I was ki(lna]jpel." '' K i d n a p p e d ! "
he exclaimed.
" Is not uiachune ihe lady who wished her f u t u r e
revealed and who uotiHed me to meet her ^ Ah, 1 think not," he
said, looking at uie more closely, " ALailame was oldei- and she was
to have brought her ser\'an1.
T h e r e is, indeed, some mistake.
It

(S'ossing to the table he lifted a tiny silver
bell and rang it, and the man who had brought me appeared.

I glance(| at the strange
object and the vcM'y thought of it rex'ealing my f u t u r e made me
.shudder.
My ner\'es had undergone too gi'cat a strain and I broke
down and begged to be taken home.
T h e Hindoo ordered the cai'riage and ha\'ing in(piire(l the address,

SCHOOL NOTES.
T h e regular routine of school-life has been continuing in X . II. S.
since the 0])eniiig in the fall.
T h e first ten weeks' exams, the horror
of freshmen, have come and gone, and have cei'tainly shown some of
us what a lot we do not know.
I>ut school has not been as dull as
one might conclude from the foregoing statement.
Indeed, was l i f e
in jSIormal ever dull
C o n t r a r y to f o r m e r years, we have had uj) to Thaidvsgiviug no
chapel exercises whatsoever; but, in answer to the nuiny re(piests of
various students, the f a c n l t y has at last devised a s]')leudi(l scheme,
which it and we believe will ])rove very enjoyable.
T h e school is to
assemble in the auditorium once a week for one ])ei'iod — at iuiy
time that P r o f . S a y l e s may see fit — and once a month the exercises
on F r i d a y , last period, are to bo given over to one of the societies,
w h i c h will endeavor to f u r n i s h an interesting ]irogram for the occasion.
A l l the societies seem very enthusiastic over the prospect, and
we ask the co-operation of the whole school in making this ])lan the
success wo antici]iate.
T h e T h a n k s g i v i n g Day exercises on Wednesday, November 20,
consisted m a i n l y of a musical ]irogram, together with the i-eading of
the Thaidvsgiving proclanuitions of the President ami the Governor.

T h e class rings,

be c h a n g e d ; but it is expected that they will be very odd and ])retty
when, thev do arrive.

Chester 1 Fochstrasser and .\rarion
^FcDowell were leaders, and a f t e r an hour of bi'ain racking questi(nis and ra])id ( ?) answers, the members of both sides went down
on one a w f u l catch question, thus resulting in a tie.
R])elling matches were held in all the E n g l i s h I I classes on the
day before the I d i a n k s g i v i n g recess.
T h e y were very amusing and,
no doubt, beneficial to the participants.

S u c h an initiation ! I t was held on October 14, a day not soon to
he forgotten by the S i g m a girls.
Several of the alumna? attended
this event.
T h e s]n'ead which foHowed, to restore the weary ones
who had undergone so nuuiy trials, was much enjoyed by all.
But
what we shall remember most of all is how f u n n y the girls looked
with their hair so artistically (
arranged.
T h e r e is now being planned a very interesting program f o r
" S i g m a J3ay," Decend)er 19.
W e will then have an opportunity to
show what the S i g m a girls really can do.
O; y e green and innocent F r e s h m e n !
T h e time is fast approaching when we are to make y o u r acquaintance.
W e are p l a n n i n g the

he in the form of a regular party, but something f a r more e x c i t i n g
and strange.
Y o u certainly cannot aiford to miss this chance f o r
a good time.
W e really do want to know you, but y o u seem so
shy that as yet you are quite strangers.
B u t to leave those exciting topics of initiation, chapel exercises,
and a freshman rush, we can say that we have had interesting programs at our meetings lately,
A debate, recently, Resolved, that
women should vote, w-as decided in f a v o r of the affirmative.
Misses
K i m m e y and C r a m e r supported the affirmative and were opposed by
Misses A v e r y and B l u e .
O u r paper. Alpha Iota Phi, has been
prepared in an interesting nunmer by our editor, H a r r i e t Gardner.
I n concluding, we can truly state that this y e a r has so f a r been
very prosperous f o r Zeta S i g m a .
W e hope that this prosperity m a y
remain with us f o r the rest of this y e a r and f o r m a n y years to come
when we are among the alumna[} of our dear Zeta S i g m a .

T w o months of happy school l i f e have gone by, and d u r i n g that
time the " (^uin " girls have not been idle.
T h e programs have been
of unusual excellence, and each mend)er has taken up her duties with
