The next morning Shock was at
school earlier than usual. Soon all
the boys knew that something was
going to happen at Assembly that
morning. An air of mystery SEEM
ed to pervade the halls where
groups of girls gathered at inter
walls.
AT last, the $3.50 bell rang and
school began. After the singing of
the first song everything became
very quiet and everybody wa{ted
expectantly. Then from the back
of the room came Peg. She walked
straight up to the front and onto
the platform.
Shock looked at Tub and Tub at
Shock. What in the world was Peg
going to do up there? But their
surprise was still greater when
they heard her saying:
Seniors, the girls of this class
have something which they wish to
present to the team. We have here,
holding up a bag, fifty dollars
which the girls want to give to the
team. We made it last night at our
play and we give it to the boys.
Now, it's up to them to win every
game" finished Peg as she left the
platform.

he jumped up on the platform, let's

Senior girls on the end and then
one with Peg Huston on the end.

basketball manager, had thanked
the girls, they were dismissed.
Shock caught Peg just outside

"And-how about the Senior
party next week?"-(The End.)

THE BLACK MASK

Fitz (who is the man that was to
watch Nary escapes the Black
Mask after being called a traitor
He comes upon Mary and Buck and
an idea comes to him.
Il am a messenger of the BIZ,
Mask. We've come to git even fer
KILN my pard. The rest of the
gang is close behind you now"
AS Buck turned to look, Fitz
jumped upon him. For awhile
there was a rough-and-tumble
fight, but as Buck was not strong
enough yet, Fitz was soon in the
lead
Mary, seeing that Fitz was
getting the best of Buck, got gun
that Buck had left lying near her,
and nerVously held it toward Fitz
and said, Put your hands up or I'll
shoot"
Fitz slowly relaxed his hold on
Buck and shot a cowardly look at
Mary. Say, young one, you had
better put that gun down or it
might go Off" he said in as easy
manner as he could.
'I'll git even with the whole
bunch of you" he added.
Move on in front of u.s." said
Mary, as she pointed out the way.
Fitz, seeing that there was no
chance for escape, did as he was
ordered.
Mary helped Buck. and followed.
She took Fitz to the Starr ranch
and explained it all to Mr.. Starr.
well, as soon as Buck is well.
we'll talk this thing over. but at
present We'll tie that scamp some
where in the barn
The five men that were sent to
get Fitz came back and reported
their hunt as a failure.
We're in for it now; that fool
will grunt on us at hisfirSt chance"
said the Black Mask.

Play Great Success; Peg Star OF
Evening.

At last the night of the play
came. Every girl in Bradley High
was there, and, so far as Peg could
tell, every boy, too.
Girls" she exclaimed. Every
seat Is taken. Just look through
this hole, Franz" Is
The curtain rose and the first
act began. Out in front among the
boys was heard, - s-a
Gee, this is great, fellows and,
"How did those girls ever do it"
AS the play proceeded, the fellows
became more enthusiastic, and
pretty soon Shock nudged Tub and
whispered,
Say. doesn't Peg look great?
Isn't she pretty tonight? Wonder
why l never thought she was good
looking before?"
"She sure is sumner tonight
whispered back Tub.

for date for the Senior party next
week." said Tub. o.
well, just remember, I'm going
to take her to the next game" an
swered Shock, that is, If it's all
right with her, and if we ever have
another game"
Peg certainly did her part well.
She was not thinking about how
beautiful she looked, but rather
about how much money would be in
the bag after the play was over.
With great clapping and encoring
the play came to an end. When the
girls had taken off their costumes
and put on their wraps Peg looked
the happiest and gayest of all. Why
shouldn't she? Her plan had sue

Mary had to stay with Mrs. Far
row, who was sick and had been
sick since the time that Mary was
kidnapped.
Take a seat" said Mr.. Starr,
when Buck had entered the house.
II hope you are as strong as you
were before"
IL don't think Pm any weaker;
in fact, feel stronger" was the re-
ply.
We'll, now, come to business"
said Mr.. Starr, as he leaned back in
his chair.
Pm ready if you are" Buck said
with smile.
81 think we could force this guy
in the barn to tell us something
more of the Black Mask"
I'VE may be able to make him
show US something else in that
cave of theirs" said Buck.
We'll, I'll phone for the sheriff
and his deputies and maybe we can
lick the whole gang" Mr.. Starr
said.
Mr.. Starr phoned the sheriff and
in little while had made meet
ing place.
You go and get ready, and we'll
do as much as we can with these
outlaws" said Mr.. Starr.
After awhile Buck, Mr.. Starr and
the sheriff with his twenty-five
men, started on their way to the
cave. Fitz was tied to horse and
taken along.
We leave them preparing to go
into the cave. (To Be Continued.)

ART CORNER
Some News Of Junior Artists.

!
1t is rumored that a Junior Art
Society is to be organized This
will, it is understood, be under the
leadership of one of the best of
art critics and collectors. 1t is
, also said that in the next semester
sometime, there is to be an exhibit
of pictures by the younger artists
and would-be's.
There are several young artists
| who have talent, namely: Richard
Ziegler, whose landscapes are quite
| extra ordinary.
Then there is Elmer, who is
wonderful figure artist for his age,
and Elmer Porter, whose land
scapes are also very fine. Van Eft
tens pen and inks are very inter-
esting, too
Among the girls, Nina E. Miller
takes the lead and prizes and also
has close second in Helen Pitts.
Madge Harris also has great deal
of talent. There are also many
others of talent, of whom have
not the room to speak at length. 1t
is to be regretted that Doris Puck
EFT is leaving or there would be
more pen and inks by this young
lady, who is very artistic de-
signer and drawer
Miss Nellie MANHOOD and Master
Elmer Porter are responsible for
this idea of a junior artists ex-
hibit. Praise to them,
This article prepared and tor
tured by
PROF. I. YUSA BRUSH,
Otherwise known as E. T., of
the Senior High School.
(Ed. Note: This is the first Of
a series. The plan is that the boys
and the girls Of the art clubs edit
the art column every week, putting
in story of something that is
happening with junior artists or is
about to happen (as this very good
idea of a Junior Artists Exhbit)
an interview, perhaps, with an art
ist friend of theirs, story of pas
tel work. etchings, Autographs,
oils or any special phase of art
work in which they are interested.
If you are interested in this corner
and in this plan. no matter what
school you attend. send in your
name to the Junior office or ar
range meeting with the Junior
editor to talk it over. We are look
ing forward to reading some other
real good junior art stories in this
corner)
