At Crawford Academy the annual
rush between the freshmen and
sophomores took the form of a strug-
gle for the school flag flying from
tall pole between Bergen and Woolsey
Halls. The sophomores defended the
pole and the freshmen tried to reach
it, climb 1t and seize the flag. There
really didn't seem much room for
strategy for the ground was level and
there was no chance for a surprise.
Victory usually went to the stronger
class and this year the sophomore
class happened to be much the
stronger.

Frank was only politely impressed

Then there was a blast OF a bugie.

what was going on until Dan appeared
over the parapet on Woolsey Hall and

renewed their attack more fercely.
Two or three sophomores sprang for

to his master. Now the punishment
which he had feared was to be dealt
him. He was to be made an example so
other slaves would fear to run away.
The cruel laws of the country con-
demned him to be torn to pieces by
savage and hungry lion. and a spec
tacle was to be made of his death for
amusement OF the public. When the
day came for this horrible punishment
to be inflicted the poor man was led
into the arena around which were
gathered thousands OF spectators
eager to see the encounter. The ter
rife roar of the lion which had been
starved in anticipation of this day
could be heard and when the barrier
was let down the angry beast sprang
into the arena and rushed upon the
man who stood alone unprotected and
unarmed.
A sudden hush came over the spec
tators who felt a momentary pity for
the poor victim. but soon the hush
changed to shout OF surprise for the
lion, advancing upon his foe instead
of tearing him limb from limb laid
itself at the feet OF Androcles and
licked them rapturously. The gov

else could even claim that he had an
idea that might work. the class de-
clded that Dan might as well be given
a chance to show what he could do.
At least he could not make matters
worse than they were.
There followed days OF mysterious
doings in Dams room. He was seen
to convey into it some strange looking
parcels and he and Frank seemed to-
have good deal OF scouting about the
buildings to do. But they kept Sc
curely the secret OF what they were
about. Dan did, however. plan an
elaborate campaign for the main at

made sure that his lieutenants under
stood this plan thoroughly.
ut looks like a lot OF foolishness
TO me- Ted would grumole. do you
expect to scare the sophs away from
the pole?"
Never you mind" retorted Dan
cheerfully. MY plan will work all
right"
The reason for Ted's criticism be-
came clear when the day OF the rush
came. Under the rules the rush could
take place anytime between four and
FIVE o'clock. BY four all the sopho-
mores were grouped about the pole

So intent were the second year men

6be GRATEFUL LION

~HERE once lived in ancient days
slave named Androcles. who to
Al escape the cruelties of an inhu-
49, man master fed into the wilder
ness, although he knew that II ne
were retaken it meant death in some
cruel and terrible manner. He hid
himself In the depths Of the forest
and lived as best he could on wild
herries and fruits as he could hnd.
One day he discovered a rocky cavern
into which he crept and lay down
thinking to be alone and quiet. He
had not been there long before ne
was startled by dreadful noise which
echoed through the cave like peals OF
thunder. but which he knew must be
the roar Of some wild beast He re-
solved to escape the danger and start
ed for the mouth of the cave just as
a huge lion entered 1t. Crouching be-
hind a rock he watched the advance
of his dangerous foe and was sur
prised to see that the animal showed
no Indication OF rage but rather pain
and agony. When the lion discovered
Androcles he uttered mournful music
and seemed rather to beseech his at
tention than to have any hostile pur-
pose. The lion slowly advanced and
the man perceived that he limped
upon one foot which seemed to be
swelled as though 1t had been hurt.
His natural bravery prompted An

stepped towards him. AS he drew

and renewed his louG moaning. Upon
examination Androcles found that the

They were too late. Letting go the
parapet, Dan whizzed out to the pole
down the sag of the rope. He landed
below the flag few feet but without
leaving his sling he climbed up to the
flag and tore it from the pole He
waved 1t once in triumph over the
crowd.

cried.
Then he stuffed the flag under his
coat and pulling himself hand over
hand along the rope he regained the
roof before the sophomores climbing
the pole had reached the rope

ed to extract the thorn and press the
poison from the festered wound, dur

Grafton was over the lion felt relief

From that moment Androcles and
the lion were almost inseparable until
one day when Androcles was roaming

some of Its principal tributaries In
Central Brazil in quest Of gold and
diamonds. The expeditions hope
rests upon experiences in those parts

has stated that the Araguayian gravels
would yield payable gold. He was
hopeful they would discover copper in
commercial quantities. He found
diamonds in tributaries of the Ara
guaya, and also discovered payable
gold In the gravel of the river. The
country is peopled with tribes Of Red
Indisns, whom the engineer speaks Of
~ being friendly. He also hopes to
