 studying in the high school that he
 could not live without doing some
 every day. But these two doctors
 were getting along very we'll and they
 had acquired great fortune. We
 could stay no longer as the day was drawing to close. Gussie said we
 would see another classmate in the
 newspaper business If We went to
 Sandville. So on the next day we
 set out for this village and went to
 the only newspaper office. It was
 upstairs over the postofice and will
 lage market. Seated at desk was
 Frank Bowes, sporting editor for the
 Sandville Daily Grab-Up." Frank
 was always an excellent student of
 English literature, being especially
 devoted to the poems of Milton. But
 little did we think that he would be
 on the staff of writers for such a
 large newspaper. Frank was the
 only representative of our class in
 this vile. so, with my companion, I
 set out for Salt Lake City. While we
 were walking through the city we
 noticed large dry goods store. We
 went in and as we were going
 through lady came running up to
 us and we immediately recognized
 by her giggling the giddiest girl of
 our class way back in 1906, Ada
 Clayton. She had gone west after
 graduating and had started in the
 dry goods business, at which she was
 making great success. She brought
 us through her establishment and we
 were astonished at the magnitude of
 her business. Ada told us to go. to
 the end of the street and to watch
 for the sign which read Private
 School" We did as advised and
 when we reached the place we went into the school. There in the office
 were assembled three bright and smart looking ladies who on catch ing sight of us ran to receive us into
 their school. These were three of our former classmates, Rose Deffarari,
 Mary Delaney and Helen Wood
 They, too, had gone west to seek their fortunes in this grand part of our country, and we'll they had sue ceeded. Rose was instructor in Ital- ian, Mary was trying to instill some of her knowledge of Cicero and other latin authors into the brains of her pupils, and Helen was instructor in German. They had named their school after their high school. We then went to the Grand Central the ater and saw magnificent play. When we saw the leading lady we thought she looked familiar and turn ing to our programs we saw the name of Marguerite Pretat. We looked among the chorus girls and there ap- peared Anna Garfield. Mary Nolan, Josephine Altman, Helen Hartnett and Vera Kelly. We heard their ex- cellent singing and it was with joy that I learned of the success with which these orioles had met. Miss Pretat was making great success. and she said afterwards to us that next season she was going to travel with Maude Adams. It was while to Marguerite that we learned Nadie Freedman was writing the music for operas and was meeting with great success in the musical world. She was at this time playing in the Grand opera and Albert and determined to see her on her re- turn.
 After a pleasant time in Salt Lake City we set out for San Francisco. This beautiful city had been rebuilt after that destructive earthquake which had visited it in 1906. It is now a magnificent city adorned with beautiful buildings. On our way to the hotel we passed a millinery store over which was sign which read The Misses Anna Finn, Hazel Hall, Bertha and Edna Wagner, Milliners. What a magnificent establishment! We walked in and immediately the appeared and welcomed us. The business qualities which these maidens had cultivated in their school days had been the means of a fortune for them. We in- Quired of them If we would find any more of our classmates in the city and we were told that there were several more. After we had dined at the Palace hotel we set out for the center of the city. When we caught sight of the public library we entered and there behind the desk were Grace Jones and Sarah Fitzpatrick. We found out that Sarah and Grace liked to study so much and were so fond of books that they had deter mined to go into library. They told us to go across the road and see two more of our friends. We did this and opposite was a large bakery and when we had entered this we were by two of our old-time friends, Katherine Nolan and Gratia Booth. As they were the most skillful in baking at the cooking class in high school days, they de- cided to go into business, and what matter was it that their rolls might be used as clapboards and their lady fingers as tiles for houses when their cream puffs were the best in the land. We took leave of our two friends and set out for the hotel. It was near the end of the time allotted for my va cation and Albert had received news that he was to report for work In a week. SO we decided to return home in a short while.
 I had just been reading a newspa- per when I saw that man vas be- San Francisco for murder. In look ing over the list of lawyers I saw that John Tobin. Cornelius Sullivan and Joseph Thompson were for the defense and his honor. Max Kir.asE- off was judge. Surprised at this news and desirous of hearing such bursts of oratory as were certain to come from these silver-tongued students of we determined to be present the next day which was to be the last of the trial. At o'clock we were in the court house which was filled with people. About 2:l5 | ar-rarx Tnhin Sullivan and Thnnnr-
