Modern faddists who claim to have
invented the new wrinkles in mys-
tcism might bear in mind that in the
second and third centuries there were
many would-be sensationalists who
maintained regular schools in which
they taught tricks Of the trade.
History recalls the names Of Gem-
ems, Pantaenus and Origen as the
leading mystic schoolmasters Of those
days. Alexandria was their head
quarters, and we are told that the
more matter-of-fact philosopher, who
also ran private colleges and class
rooms, occasionally branded the three

thought.

Fairy Tale
THE NEW CAVE
"MARY GRAHAM BONNER

There were three Of them and they
we're the best Of friends. Their names
were Bobby and Billy and Jack. In
3he winter time after school was out
they always played together. They
always went together to look for chest
nuts in the fall and they always made
their Jack O. Lanterns as nearly alike
as possible and all went together
when It was time for the Jack Ian
terms to 60 a-calling. In fact If any
one saw them alone the question
would always be asked Where are
the other twoT s-..f
It was very early tn the spring on
q Saturday afternoon that Bobby and
Billy and Jack started forth on walk.
They were very fond Of walking and
loved to start out on cross-counry
walk. They would aim to go in GER
tain direction and they would 60 in
that direction, no matter how many
fences they had to cross nor how
many brooks In fact they enjoyed
crossing brooks. There were always a
great many adventures to be had on a
cross-country walk. They saw so
many sights and they explored and
found so much that was interesting.
But on this spring afternoon they
went In the direction Of cave-an
old, old friend of theirs. How many
times they had visited this cave. It
was high on the side Of hill. An
echo from it could be always heard If
one stood at the foot Of the hill and
shouted up. ri.,..- ....-, ~-
It was always an adventure to climb
a mountain side which was just out
side the village and then go over the
top Of the mountain, through the dense
woods, and try to strike the cave from
above. It was 50 hard to hit it exactly
right. Sometimes they came out q
little to the right of it and sometimes
a little to the left. But this day they
came down over the side Of the noun
tain and they could not find the. cave
at all. 1.-THE woods must have changed
their looks during the winter Billy
said. 40,
"Or we have lost our bumps OF To-
cality," said Bobby. Bobby had always
said that the best thing in the world
to have was a bump Of locality. He
meant by that It was so fine thing to
be able to find ones way about, by
instinct, as it were. ....

looks as though we were somewhere
