| by the large house gathered to do hin
honor and the somewhat ambitious eff
forts of the High School students must
be written down a great success both
artisticalIy and financially.
The house was effectively decorated
with black and yellow, the school

of the class of 'O6. Music was fur
nished by Ernest KaaPs mandolin
class. The decorations were done by
the young ladies of the sophomore
| class.

and the curtain rises on vestibule of
the Government House. Captain
Carew and Baverstock are conversing
about the advent OF the Right Honor

ladies, his sister, Mrs. Bolingbroke and
daughter, Ethel. The Governor Sir

are quickly followed by Ethel.
Mrs. Bolngbroke, Stella and Ethel
seem very much concerned about the
rumors concerning the natives. News
comes through Captain Rivers that the
natives have risen, and that they are
in imminent danger. A barricade is
formed by the ladies, and their fears
are augmented by the Governor telling
them of the bad outlook of affairs.
Mrs Bolingbroke, a widow, tries to
charms. She is interrupted in her eff
forts by Baverstock, the English sec

Ethel, Cartons daughter is greatly
loved by the Governor, Carew and
Baverstock. She is asked to choose
her future husband and after some
hesitation chooses to cast her lot with
Captain Carew.
Stella and Carlton are mistaken for
hostile natives by Baverstock, who
begs their pardon and retireS. Then
Carlton and Stella come to an under
standing. Rivers comes in with the
news that the attack has begun and |
hundreds have been killed. Kildare |
soon comes in with his reinforcements, |
and ii is discovered that he was |
thought to be the enemy and that the |
supposed rebellion never took place.
