THE HOUSE IN THE SHADOW
In my home town there is a l)ri(li^e—a ,^reat. marvelons Ijrids^c.
Down
throui^h the years it has strelelied its lon^', steel arms ont to the sky h'ne hke some
threatenini^- monster of old. ]iuddled a.^ainst this stolid, ])rotectini^- wall are those
sordid castles of the i)oor and the destitnte—the tenements.
'i'hns it came ahont, in one of the conntless years this j^roiMno- monster had
served ns, there came to dwell in one of these iiitiful, little shacks a little old lady
with her two fine hoys. Weary months of strni;;^"le fonnd the little 1)rood still
lonely and destitute. The mass of cement and steel which was the hridi^e donned
its coat of snow, and lij^hts pre])ared to meet the i^ood Saint Xicholas. Christmas
eve found them still i)rei)arin54-—for they knew not what.
On this same Christmas eve, two men were to he seen walkinj^ briskly towards
the hrid^^e. The oldish man was a hanker; the vii^orous. talkative youth was a
junior clerk in his hank". As they drew nearer, the youn^- man's rapidly chant^'ini;interests were directed, hy some stranj^e coincidence, to the dismal, domestic conclave in the Swift household, only too visible throui^h the curtain-less window.
The youth stole a s^iance at his chief; evidently he was meditating;" on the day's
work. The yonn^' man silently bit his lij) and gravely continued his walk.
Still later that nii^ht a tall youn,^" man stole up the tenant stejis and left,
secured from the snow and sleet, a lar.^e packa.ne of Christmas cheer. When the
little old lady o])ened the creaky old door the next morning- and found on her
doorstep the answer to her i)rayers. two stiff old lei;"s bent in prayer to their benefactor.
(^ur talkative younii;- man has continued to talk, and in his quiet moments,
he chuckles silently to himself. I^'ar out in the country, away from the noise of
the city, the old banker has continued to meditate. The threat structure which has
cast its i)rotectinjL'; shadow over all, emits another creak and stands steadfast
throuG'h the 3-ears.

ANOTHER RUE MORGUE MYSTERY
()nc' (lark stormy night, there could be seen on a deserted road a figure
bending over another figure. He stood with head bowed, silently thinking. Yes.
he had killed her. He, who had never before coniinitted murder. She had
toiled for him and had hel])ed Iiim through many a hard passage. He could no
longer hear her gentle murtiiuring-.
The clouds gathered around him. and the rain descended on him. Why did
no one come? Why had he killed her in such a desolate ])lace? He did not
even know his motive.
With anguish in his heart, he decided ujjon a definite i:)lan of escape.
So. with a shuddering sigh. Harold 'feen slammed down the lid of his Ford
and tried to start the engine.
H. Finkle, '33.
THE WIND
The wind rose high and howled
Sweeping (k)wn the narrow valley,
Shaking the chains of the weather stained gibbet,
Muttering the chains on the dead robber's body,
Pilowing its icy breath on a i)air of lovers,.
Chilling; the heart of the village miser^
And then, ])assed over the hills
loaning- like a soul lost from Paradise.

Dream something else instead.

rc])iilsivc fissure of a Inincliback sat by the window, looking- out into tlu(lri])i)ini;- streets of London. Daz/.lini^- street lis^lits i^littered ,nlasslike. .^a}!}- for
some i)e()i)le, l)ut for others they ai)])eare(l ahnost i^'r()tes(|ne. Masses of |)eo])le
walked hurriedly alont^- i)ushin<;- and joltinj^- one another about. Anion^- the niol)
just coniint^- around the eorner was a rout^hly clad man. His face held an c\'il
liLiht and was by no means ])leasant. and his manner was not s^entle as he i)ushed
his way alonj^-. The keen eyes watchint;- from the window looked frii^htened.
Those deep bitter eyes that a moment before had looked almost hajipy held now
a trat^ic lii^ht. The face which had seemed almost pleasant had become chant^ed.
It was set and white. The nose a^ain seemed too lons^-, the chin too i)()inte(l. and
the forehead too hit^h. The white fists clenched tis.;htly, the mouth tis^htened. the
delicate lips twitched nervously, and a sob shook the frame (jf the deformed body.
A door on the first floor was heard to ()i)en and shut. The boy shuddered,
then squared his small weak shoulders.
"Hi thar I Wacha doin'?" and a huj^e form tottered into the room and
sprawled itself across a cot. "Crasnuis ev'. don't ye know thet?

comin'." Jules knew what that meant. He would spend the rest of the nis^ht
in the backroom. Hiere it was so cold that often his hands would turn blue. In
the (Mie warm room his uncle and friends would {gamble and drink. Talkin<;thickly and cursini;- one another, they would end in a flight and, if luck favored
his uncle, all would go on as usual. lUit if luck went against him it would be
too had for Jules. The boy was miserable, lie rose from his chair and swung
himself into the next room. He lay down on the couch and fell aslec]).
Later that evening, Jules was awakened by a crashing of furniture and glass.
He dreadecl the morning.
The next time he awoke from ihe cold it was early morning and a soft snow
was falling. I^verything was c|uiet and as the boy hunchback looked out. a feeling
of hap])iness entered his heart. Today would be his one red-letter day. It was
Christmas and Christmas meant a ride in the counlry. lie could see again the
beautiful trees and meadows, lie nuisi hurry before his uncle came back.
Jules swung himself through the door and on u]) the street. iM-erything was
(juiet and calm. The soft snow fell down all around him and tilled him with
l)eace. lie didn't mind if ])eoi)le shunne(l him.
I^hat night amid the noisy crowds, the thin ugly figuri' of a hunchback' could
be seen. Shuddering glances were nunu'rously cast in his direction.
I hit in
that distorted face a i)air of eyes, dark and solemn, yet hapi)y and full of contentment, could be seen. In half an hour it stood beneath its own fanlight and, with
that characteristic s(|uaring of shoulders it entered from tlu' world of bliss into
the world of drudgery for one long year to wait patiently for the next Christmas.

The snow had been comint;- down steadily all day and the sidewalks and
streets were slipi)ery. A little dos^" was over on the other corner, shiverini^' and
whinins^-. Jimmie saw him and whistled to him.
"IJere, (lo<;"mie, come here."
The dog came over wai^g'ins^- his tail in a
friendly way and took a liking to Jimmie at once. "Mere, ^^utt, let's i^o over on
that corner nearer to that tree."
Jimmie started over and slijjped in the street. There was a .screeching- of
brakes, a woman's scream, and the barking of a dog. Jimmie felt only the tuggingon liis coat and heard old}- the barking of a little dog. The car stopped and an
elderly man jumped out. exclaiming, "Are you hurt, little boy?"
" X a w , I'm all right, mister." Jimmie said bravely, for he had skinned his
knees when he fell and it began to hurt. "Whew, that was close and L guess I
would have got hit if this nuitt hadn't barked and tugged at my coat, and he put;
an alTectionate arm around the dog.
The next day was Christmas, and Jimmie and the nuitt, who was the best

SCHOOL NOTES
Well, the clock of time has slowly rolled its weary way, and a new school
year has come, finding- ye editor older, sadder, and wiser(?).
Old Man Depression rears his ugly head more menacingly than ever before,
hut, nevertheless, we find ourselves increasingly cheerful (1 wonder if Ihis is
because misery ])ree(ls contempt, or am I wrong?).
This department has determined to institute a fund for the purpose of buying
huge quantities of "\\'heaties," "Post-Toasties," and etc.. to feed to ihe junior
Jligh School students. W e feel that with such assistance they could not help but
increase in size enough to remove from the school whatever resemhlancc to a
kindergarten which it now has.
As you all know, the first social event of the year was the School Recei)tion.
As usual, ])lays were given by the upper classes, and there was dancing in the
gymnasium. The newcomers celebrated their debut by systematically destroyingall decorations, etc., assisted, we are sad to say. by certain of the older students.
1 lowever, in spite of this confusion, the ])arty was a great success.
That old demon Troui)le seemed to dog the junior-freshmen ])rawl. First,
he tam])ered wdth the finances and then, not satisfied, he stole down the backstairs
and upset the punch. Mowever. all the Soi)homores and Seniors who attended
thought that the affair was a big success.
Note: (The decorations were not descrated by the frosh who attended.*)
Speaking of dances reminds us that there are (|uite a few amuial events still
in the offing—the Soi)homore-Senior i)arty—the basketball games—the O. T.
S. A.—the Senior hoji—graduation—and last, but certainly not least, the final
examinations. (What a fine thing to talk about—esi)ecial]y at this time of the
year.)
Tt is now ((uite certain that the annual school gift will be one of a set of
nuu-als for the library. The three societies are holding a Christmas dance to assist
in raising the four hundred dollars necessary for this work.
The return of the legitimate stage to Albany has been greeted with nuich
enthusiasm by a certain group of Alilnites. We understand that there is a theatev
l)arty at the Cai)itol every Friday evening.
Although you will reccix'e this magazine after the Christmas jjlays have been
given, we find it ((uite logical to insert at this place a short word about them. The
casts have been devoting nearly all their si)arc tinie rehearsing, and we certainly
hope that the reward for their services will be in i)r<)p()rtion with the time and
labor which they have given. W e also h()i)e that those who ])raise the i)lays will
not forget those who have given their time and assistance in the manufacturing
of sets, in selling tickets, and in managing seating.
And now, we're sorry to say, and you're doubtless glad to hear, that we can
lind nothing else to say and therefor we must. i)erforce. cease. Adios, friends (or
enemies as the case may be), and we'll be seein' you in the June issue.
