 l had fully made up my mind to leave the city the next day, but upon I seeing posters in various places ad- vertising celebration to be accom- panied by drill was persuaded by my friends to stay over and attend the celebration. We rose early and breakfasted, then made preparations to go to the field where the drill was to take place.
 On the way we saw many things of interest and met some of the mem- bers of the former Junior class of the Canaan High School, but be- cause had seen by the posters that young lady was to drill one of the companies l was anxious to go to that part of the field where they were preparing to drill. At the appointed hour tall slender young lady be- comingly attired in uniform arose. l concluded that she was to drill that special company and I watched her intently because her face seemed 1 familiar, but could not tell who she was nor where had seen her. She gave many lively commands in a laundering voice just as she used to when she recited Hamlet's soliliquy back in the old school days, and seemed worried for fear someone would not understand her orders or wouldn't know how to carry them out. l could not be mistaken, I knew it was Esther J. Hurlburt, and determined to speak to her after the drill was over.
 Soon my attention was drawn to one of the men, a rather stout fellow of medium height with a full beard and an air of much importance. He wassiooking all around him yet exc cutting every command with the ut most correctness. Incidently the drillmaster looked at him, and he blushed-oh how he blushed-and then because of this he became ex- cited and when she suddenly gave the command right dress in that laundering voice, he carried his gun to his left shoulder and at the com mand squads right, he went to the left. The drillmaster called him aside after the drill, and I heard her say to him disgustedly, "Well Philip Rood, what was the matter?" {
 But of course you would like to hear something about the other class mates and l must take you to a small country place in New York State. As stood on the corner of a street watching the crowds pass by, my at tention was attracted by rather tall slender young lady neatly dressed in tailored suit apparently ready for walking. There was some thing in her step that seemed natural and l couldn't refrin from going up to her and tapping her on the shoul- l der. She turned quickly, to my surprise recognized me at once and said, "Well, osa Reel, what are you doing here?" 'I think it would be better for you to tell me what you are doing here'', said I, to which she replied, "Why didn't you know that l had become a professional walker? am competing with Weston, and am on my way to San Francisco to deliver a speech on suffrage. I looked at her and then ventured to say, "Well, l might have known you'd be professional walker be- cause of all the practice you had when you walked to the Canaan High School for four years, but as for be- ing suffragette and a speech mak- CT, I can't understand it.
 | While l was conversing with Miss Frink she looked at me smilingly and with merry twinkle in her eyes said, "Well, Pm thinking of marlin, l was amazed. Blanche Frink think ing of marrying. "You thinking of Marrying, said I, "whose the lucky man?" In turn she looked aston ished, Lucky man., she said, 'I 'I didn't say that I was thinking of marrying. l said that I was think ing of Marion, Marion Werner. I was excited to hear about Marion as l had not seen nor heard from her since she. graduated years before. So l asked Miss Frink if she had seen her. Why, l guess I've seen her", she replied, Why chanced to be go- ing through Chicago on my way to Seattle and was attracted by large slgn hung in front of a good sized dry goods store. This was how it read. Werner & Go. I decided to enter the store and make inquiries.
 Upon entering the store I was met py a young lady who seemed to reco- gnlze me. l said to her, 'Is this Werner & Coz" ''Yes", she replied, Il am Coe' l do most of the talking, you will find Marion in the rear of the store". So I went down the aisle and soon saw 9 Xounp ladv with hnr
