she was swung safely up into the seat

along that lonely road. She remem-

winding along an orderly gravel drive
way, stopping before a vine-bowered
bungalow. She remembered, as the
masked man at her side helped her in
through an ivory-white door, turning
dazedly to him and asking who he was.
And she remembered the smile that
showed Just beneath the fringe of the
yellow domino as he shook his head
and the sense of deprivation that
swept through her as she found her
self once more alone. Then from the
same door through which the Laugh
ing Mask had stepped, she remem

had crept up to her, with tears we'll

"Margery, don't you know ne? Don't

that quiet-eyed woman had asked as
she had taken her in her arms. And
as she stared up into chat motherly
face, bent so close over her own, she
had said, with a gasp of bewilderment,
Are you-you the Laughing Mask?"
But her mother, she remembered, had
smiled. almost sorrowfully. and had
put a finger to her lips.

Nearly everyone in Manchester
knows that Miss Susan Paxson has
made good as high school teacher.
but her success as an author will be
news to many. We extract the fol-
lowing from the Boston Journal of
Education, knowing that it will be
read with increasing interest by Miss
Parsons numerous relatives and
friends. in this city:
Miss Susan Paxson, teacher in Lat
in department, Omaha High School,
has national reputation in univer-
sity circles because of her success in
arousing an interest in the study Of
Latin that is quite exceptional. She
has been in the faculty of the Omaha
High School for twenty years. She
was one OF the first to form a Latin
club OF high school students above
the first year in the high school. 1t
is one Of the most popular clubs in
the Omaha High School. All phases
Of life in this club pertain to Roman
life times and literature.
Miss PaXson's chief claim to fame
is her success with Latin plays, which
she has written and which have been
staged first in the Omaha High School
and later in many other high schools,
normal schools. colleges and univer-
stiles in all parts of the United States.
We know of no one in high school or
college who has done so much to in
tensify devotion to Latin. She is the
author of many Latin plays, among
them "The Roman School,, and "The
Roman Wedding" (Ginn & Company
"Tbe School Girls Dream" and Roma

SOLDIERS LEAVE FOR DES MONIES

Sunday morning, at eight o'clock
hundreds of citizens from every part
of Delaware county, gathered about
the armory, and actually formed one
solid line down Main street to the
M. & o. station to see Company H, Of
the First Iowa regiment entrain for
Des Moines, where the company is
now stationed.
According to orders received last
Thursday the company was to leave
here on Friday morning. Later orders
made change in the program, and
the company was then ordered to
leave here on Sunday morning. Dur
ing the latter part Of the week many
new recruits were secured from var
ious parts of the county. On Saturday
still further orders were to the effect
to not take any of the men who did
not sign the new Federal oath, which
means that the men would be on the
three year reserve list in case the
country needed them, after their term
of enlistment had expired. A number
of the men who were with the COM
pany at Brownsville last summer,
declined to sign this oath, and were
therefore left at home. The boys who
declined to sign this oath are ready
to shoulder the rifle in defense of
their country for the full term of their
enlistment, or in fact as long as the
country needs their services.
On Thursday evening of last week
an informal reception was rendered
the boys at the Armory The affair
was altogether informal, with DR.. N.
D. Wilson, secretary of the CONNER
cial gClub, presiding. A number Of
musical numbers were given by Miss
Margaret Stanger, and her friend, Miss
Ruth Miller of Des Moines.
In our issue of last week we gave
the names of the members of Com
pany H, as they appeared on the
roll up to Tuesday evening. Since
that time the following young men
have answered the call of the coun-
try: .."-..
