soon.
1t was most pleasing sight to
see the joy of the children when the
readers were distributed among then.
IL was a more pleasing sight to wit
ness the progress they made in their
primary studies.
While things We're moving smoothly
on Miss McQuary took my wife and
self and a visitor 10 see a famous cave
which is less than mile from her
home, and which is worth mentioning.
The entrance TO the cave is a round
ish hole, or 10 feet in diameter at
the mouth of an underground ravine
Of considerable size which runs the
whole length of the cave and is fed
by numerous branches from other
branch caves. We were told that in
the high water season this stream
some times fills the mouth of the
cave. When we were there il was
but a little clear rivulet running
through as clean a sand bed as you
ever see.-The sand is washed down
from sand-beds above.

Opening Term


county in Eastern Kentucky was rep
resented and most Of them by large
groups Of students in all depart
ments. Clay County. for example,
had its Ben Collins, the great athlete
in the Collegiate Department, and
other representative in the Normal,
Academy, Vocational and Foundation
Schools.
But Kentucky was not alone. there
were perhaps hundred students
from North Carolina and half as
many from the Virginias and Ten
nessee.
Nor were the northern and distant
states left out Ohio has a great
delegation in all departments and
others came from Maine at the east,
Texas and Florida at the South, and
Wyoming at the West.
II was gratifying also TO note that
the country nearer Berea was better
represented than in some previous
years. II has always seemed a strange
thing that people come from these
great distances while some near
Eeighbors neglect the chance 20 put
their children in the line of progress
and promotion.
Altogether such a procession is a
noble exhibit of the power of the
Institution, the devotion of parents
and the aspirations Of youth.
The Chapel worship was conducted
by Prof. Scale, and President Frost
made the usual announcements.
The four special precepts which he
gave out as key notes for the new
term were these:
First, Know. Thyself
Second, BE Faithful in Small
Things.
Third. Be no Complainer.
Fourth, DO what you do with all
your might.
A most pleasant feature of the
opening exercises was the singing of
new song-four lines-called The
Glad Enlistment. These lines con-
tain about as much joy and religion
as any four lines we remember, sung
to the tune of Missionary Chant"
THE GLAD ENLISTMENT
Thy message. Father, moves my
heart
In Gods great kingdom I've part :
Wen praise and serve and trust
and love,
In earth below and heaven above.

rough like a nutmeg crater from the
mineral deposits left by the slowly
falling drops. To the left the floor
dips sharply and the cave ends in
tumble of fiat stones left by a
torrent that may have spent its force
a million years ago. To the right the
cave rises and after continuing for
some distance in that direction ends
in a wall of solid rock. After spend
ing possibly fifteen minutes here we
proceed toward the narrow blade of
light that makes the mouth of the
cave and near it one of the boys
killed an immense cave rat, which
blinded by our lanterns failed to
escape the deity hurled rocks that
beat out its worthless life.
Next we climbed to the mouth of
what has hitherto been called Dun
geon cave, but which we renamed
"Gunpowder" cave in honor of the
old hunters who used to manufacture
this fiery element within its murky
shadows.
The thirty foot descent into the
cave is made partly by clinging to
rocky lodges and partly by sliding
down poles that some one has left.
From this large well like entrance

Berea Welcomes Her Students

EVERYBODY welcomes the coming of the students.
1t is a pleasant excitement to the crowds coming
up from the station and the pilgrims who came in on
loot, on horseback and by wagon.
Not only do the teachers and old students welcome the
comers but every citizen OF Berea glad YOU
We all have an interest in the students
The students will find the families of the

windows and sidewalks as the bard
music hoated out, and the banners
waved. and "A thousand students
marched to the Chapel to begin the
Fail Term.
The procession was arranged by
departments, the young men proceed
ing the young women in each de
partment, and the College occupying
the position of honor at the rear, fol
lowed by their Faculty and the Uni
versity Officers, so that the process

Prof. Lewis of this department also
acted as marshal
The last Of the departments was
the College.
When the first students reached the
Chapel door the procession paused
and the two lines fell apart, leaving
the sidewalk vacant. President Frost
and Or. Roberts then marched for
ward between the two lines and as
they passed the people behind fell
in to follow them. so that those who
had marched last in the procession

A Modern Leander

"What are your orders?" asked Frank.
Talbot handed him a note from the cap
tain, who was then living on shore.
1t read, keep that id young scamp
Mildmay on board" Frank was for the
time foiled.
But Talbots remark about swimming
had put an idea into his head. Eu-
geria was on the shore waiting for him.
The ship was two miles from shore, the
wind southwest and the tide moving to
the eastward 1t was the twentieth of
March, and very cold.
After dark Frank took his station i'll
the forechains, undressed. made his
clothes up in a bundle and fastened them
on his hat, which remained in its proper
place; then lowering himself gently into
the water, like another Leander he swan
to meet his Hero.
The sentinel on the forecastle saw the
swimming man, and, thinking it was a
pressed man" trying to escape, called
Talbot, who ordered the marines to fire.
The bullets plasired around Frank, but
did not hit him, and finally he was picked
up by short boat and landed on the
beach.
Donning his wet clothes, he hurried 10
the Star and Garter, where Eugenia was
awaiting him, and called him her dear.
dear husband in the hearing of the peo-
pie of the house.

Eugenia's Blessing

After the action of the Basque Roads,
Franks ship was ordered to Spithead
with dispatches. Frank obtained leave
and tried to find Eugenia.
He found the troupe. but she was not
with it, She had gone, no one knew
whittier. One of the actresses brought
him a letter from Eugenia.
In ii she said that she was the moth
er of d baby boy-his child-and that
circumstances rendered it necessary
that he should remain ignorant of her
present place of abode and that they
should not meet again--at least for a
long time.
She said that she still loved him, but
must not see him. She sent him her
blessing and then, to his astonishment,
added:
You may be, at times, short of cash.
l know you are very thoughtless in
that respect. A letter to the subjoined
address will always be attended to and
enable you to command whatever may
be necessary for your comfort
Pride might induce you to reject this
offer. But remember that it is Eugenia
that offers, and if you love her as she
thinks you do, you will accept it from
her."

Living for No Reason

They We're sitting at a bottle of claret
after dinner and Frank had been telling
of his adventures on the American sta
ton.
When he mentioned Miss Somerville the
squire said that no doubt she would be
very glad to see him--that she had grown
a beautiful girl now and was the toast
of the county. Frank received this in
formation with a coolness' which he was
far from feeling
Perhaps, he said. pretty girls are
plentiful now. since vaccine has turned
out the smallpox. Besides, the girls have
now another chance of a good shape:
they are allowed to take the air instead
of sitting all day with their feet in the
stocks and their dear, sweet noses bent
over grammar under the rod of a
French governess."
Why he took much pains to con-
ceal from the best of parents his real
sentiments he knew not himself. His
father looked disappointed and said that
he thought Frank was rather smitten
in that quarter
Frank appeared astonished. Why, he
had paid Miss Somervile no more atten-
tion than he had many other young la
dies; he hoped his attentions had not been
misconstrued.
well, well," said the squire; "it was
a mistake on my part and changed the
subject.

Awaiting His Promotion

Frank went at once to his fathers
house. 1t had been reported that he
was dead-had been lost on the frigate,
which went down after taking him
from Nassau.
His sister tainted upon seeing him,
but Squire Mildmay Immediately sent
off an express to bring over the Somer-
villes. Mr.. Somervile and Emily ar
riVed-joyous was the meeting of all
parties.
The ladies that night sat with the
gentlemen for some time after the
cloth was removed, unable to drag
themselves away while Frank was re-
lating his hair breath" escapes.
The next day Frank spoke to Emily
concerning their anticipated union and
finding that there were no other inn
pediments than are usually raised by
maiden pride and bashiul coyness."
he popped the question to Mr.. Somer-
vile and his father.
Mr.. Somerville and the square looked
at each other.
You seem to be in a great hurry,
Frank" said his father at last.
Il cannot say" continued Mr.. Somer-
Vile, that l quite approve of your be-
ing married to my daughter until you
are commander"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-29
Reconciliation Planned

Frank was, at that period of his life
and indeed for a long time after, an
expert liar, but, taken by surrpise, lie
answered truthfully Mildmay.
1t turned out that Mr.. Somervlle was
an old friend of Franks father and,
moved by the influence of Emily, the
boy finally told the whole story of his
leaving home, omitting only the part
he had played in the accident in which
Emily had been injured-he could not
quite bring himself to that.
Mr.. Somerville promised to prepare
the way for a reconciliation between
Frank and his father, presented him
with a flo note, invited him to come
and visit at his country seat and drove
away, first having made Frank promise
to follow him to his residence the -
hall.
Emily and her father gone, Frank
returned to the actress, Eugenia, who
gave him the story of her life.
She was the daughter of woman of
good family who had run away from
boarding school with strolling player.

After FareWells We're Said

But she said Frank, all that has
happened is for the best. We are both
wrong. / felt that / was too happy and
shut my eyes to the danger L dare not
face.
Your father is a man of sense his
object is to reclaim you from inevitable
ruin. You have an honorable and dis
tinguished career marked out for you
Il have tenderly loved you and shall
never love another. But part we must
| am ready to make every sacrifice to
your fame and character-the only
proof 1 can give of my unbounded love
for you.'
AS soon as Frank had torn himself
away from Eugenia his heart grew light
er. His father detached his mind still
further from the unfortunate subject by
speaking of family affairs and of Mr..
SomervIle and Emily.
Here he touched the right chord. The
remembrance of Emily revived the expir-
ing embers of virtue, and the recollec-
tion of the pure and perfect mistress of
the Somerville hall for a time dismissed
the unhappy Eugenia from his mind

Around the Supper Table

In few minutes Frank reached a little
town and entered the first inn he came
to. He found the large room below oc-
cupied by a band of strolling players
who, having just returned from the repre-
sentaton of Romeo and Juliet" were
enjoying themselves at table not indif-
ferently covered with the good things
of life.
They were still in their stage costumes
which, with the rapid circulation of the
bottle, gave the whole scene an air of
romantic freedom calculated to interest
the mind of the thoughtless, half-pay
midshipman.
He determined to join the party at
supper, which, being table d'hote, was
easily effected
One of the actresses. sweet little we'll
proportioned creature, made room for
Frank beside her. He was at once fas-
cinated by her.
In her momentary and occasional smiles
he discovered set of beautiful white
teeth but when she resumed her pensive
attitude he was sensible of an enchanting
air of melancholy.

FRANK MILDMAY

But there came an official letter or
dering Lieutenant Mildmay to the D.
brig of IS guns, fitting out at Ports
mouth, and to the brig Frank had to
repair Immediately.
1t was a hard captain that Frank
found himself under now, and the brig
set sail in few days for the Ameri-
can coast. Many and various were the
adventures of Lieutenant Mildmay while
serving this, his second cruise upon
the American station.
Finally the conduct of the captain
became so outrageous that, his ship ly-
Ing at Nassau, Frank left her, giving
the captain the choice OF being reported

But he was young and slept soundiy
until the twittering of the birds at the
windows called him next morning.
Frank was a young gentleman who
had recently served a term as midship-
man in the royal navy-and was des-
tined soon to begin another term as such
but that he did not know at the time.
Frank had just had row with his
father, gentleman of considerable means

sisters and sister younger.
