box. and the consequent realization of
what She had done against Alethea's ad-
monition. Miss Robinson showed that she
possessed dramatic ability of an excep-

was probably done in the lines which

of Theo's and Pandora's troubles. Miss

America to a close late yesterday after
noon.
Tired out by the strenuous day Of drill
and play. the 900 or more boys in the
brigade returned home at dinner time.
The sham battle was unusually interest
ing for a thing of its kind. Instead of
the dividing into two parties and firing
until command to cease is given. as
is the ordinary case in sham battles. the
little lads in blue and khaki made it
seem almost real.
While one-half of the companies took
their positions near the old Ede's mill,
the others disappeared into the thickets
beyond. Then they began regular war
like Indian attack, creeping up through
the underbruSh and firing now and then
from positions prone on the ground be-
hind convenient rocks and trees.
