her guests had begun to arrive.
One was hurrying there to whom NJ

yet his coming was the one big event
of the evening. the one thing that
would make the night memorable.
The confession of love for Stuart
which Harriet had sobbed out in hel

During this part Of the program the

to the rooms above to dress for their
parts.
Stuart noted with some astonishment

without comma nding the slightest at

Stuart turned to the program in his
hand and idly read the next number:
"A song by an unknown star"
He was wondering what joke the
manager was about to perpetrate on
the crowd when his ear caught the first
sweet notes Of Harriet's voice singing
the old song he loved SO well. the song
she had first sung the day he came
from the south.
His heart gave a throb of pain. Who
could have prepared this humiliation
for his little pal? He pushed his way
through the throng of chattering fools
until he stood alone straight in front OF
the slender little singer. She saw him
at once. smiled and sang as he had
never heard her sing To his further
surprise Stuart saw the doctor stand
ing in the shadows at the corner Of the
stage looking over the gossiping. noisy
crowd with look Of anger and horror.
When the last note of the song died
away. quivering with a supernatural
tenderness and passion he brushed a
tear from his eyes. lifted his hands

When Bivens failed to reply to his

letter had been turned sver to a lawyer
and the financier had never seen It.
He called at Bivens' Office three times
and always met the same answer:
"Mr Bivens is engaged for every

ACADEMY GRADUATION
Large Audience Enjoys Unusual Pre-
gram In the Tabernacle, Saturday
Night.

A very varied and exceedingly In
teresting program was given by the
Berea Academy. Saturday night, in
the Tabernacle.
For several previous years It has
been the custom OF this Department
TO offer q program simply Of orations
and essays. This custom this year
was abandoned, and, while there were
a number OF essays and orations g.
very high class, these were broken
into by two delightful plays. one the
tragedy of Dido and the other the
court scene in "The Merchant of Ven
ice"
That these plays might be the
more interesting and better under
stood, the one was preceded by two
descriptive eGcnys, the first being
the story OF Aneas and the second
the plot; and the other three essays
aealing respectively with the glory
of Venice, the jew in the Middle Age
and Shakespeare plot OF The Mer-
chant OF Venice
The tragedy OF Dido was presented
in a very realistic fashion, the trans
lations having been made by the
students presenting the parts and
the costumes. which were true to the
time represented In the story, were
also arranged by members Of the
class.
The presentation Of the play was
hood and must have Quickened the
interest OF every one whether stu
cent or citizen in the classic story.
The scene from The Merchant %
Venice" was no doubt much better
understood by the audience. and was
followed with the deepeGt interest.

The program was long, the only
adverse comment from any one be-
ing that IL was too long. And It's
length makes II impossible, in -
viewing Il. to give praise to each
participant that is justly his due. Il
Is sufficient to say that every ora
ton and essay Was OF high order. and
the delivery In rearly every case very
pleasing and commendable.
