In the brief hour in which he sur
rendered himself to unworldly feelings

ticker and his nostrils to the smell of
dollars while he listened to the solemn
sweet strains Of the funeral orchestra
and the heavy odors of the floral
tributes TO a great hearted woman.
his enemies fell upon him.
They worked like ravening wolves
to strip his financial bones. That he
did not emerge into the daylight of
Sixth Avenue a bankrupt was only
because Of the enormous size of the
fortune which he has accumulated by
his cold-blooded. recklessly cunning
career in the street.
For weeks he had been placing his

the barrage which would drive the
quotations for Mexican Pete down
from 1876 to under 100.
But Friday was quiet day. The
fluctuations in Mexican Pete were
small and nervous. He knew his on
slaught was expected; 1t was charac-
teristic of him that he chose to un-
dermine the opposition's morale by
doing absolutely nothing. 1t was per-
haps with some such thought in mind
that he got up from his desk at ais
o'clock that Friday afternoon, and
started up town in his automobile.
For days his enemies had been wait
ing with a counter attack which was
worked out with every bit as much
detail as his own raid.
BY the time the plunger's car was
passing City Hall at 2.17 o'clock the
word had flashed along the opposition
line that the Zero hour" for the
counter attack had come. 1t was not
to be a counter attack, but an Often
sive, with the opposing general absent
from his post in a waking dream.
A storm of orders to buy Mexican
Pete, and buy and buy, broke through
Wall Street. The plunger had left
word with his office staff OF DISPOSE
tions to be made in the event of any
outward furry while he was paying
his tribute to the memory of Miss
Russell.
But these casual instructions had
not contemplated any such cata-
clysm as set the Exchange bowling

Report cards for the third quarter
were given out Tuesday, Dec. 10.
The finance committee of the Junior
High School is raising its money for

and peanuts. The stand is in charge

pleasing musical numbers. by the
Waters of Minnetonka" and "The

During the ten o'clock period, James
Curtis, who has recently been elected

some very splendid reasons why every
boy and girl should aspire to be
leader.
Each division in the J. Fl. s. met
with its class officer and drew name
for the Christmas party. Each gift IS
limited to ten cents.
Did you know that there is to be
a real Santa at the ]. H. S.? The
Science class states that he is coming

for one so large.

very satisfactorily, of course.
The last play is of a very different
type. The scene is a little hut in the
Lands End, with Elizabeth Schmidley
as an old woman bemoaning the fact
that she has no money for herself and
the girl she has taken in about a
month ago, and who has been deprived
of the gift of speech. The poets wife,
Virginia Ragsdale, and her maid, Vio-
let tsuethe, arrive at this time and de-
sire to board for the summer. The
play eenters around the old Irish
superstition that people who follow the
light, the VIII O. the Wisp, viii wan
der all night and in the morning be
found dead. That night the girl, who
has been pardoned by the old woman,
and whose part is taken by EVELYN
Jannsen, gets up and dances to the
weird strains of violin, until the
poets wife comes down and follows
her out into the moor. The girl proves
to be the VIII o. the Misp and the
last thing the audience sees is the odd
light of the Will o. the Misp, dancing
away over the moor. There is very
little light, except lavender glow ali
through the play, and it produces a
very weird effect.
All the plays were a decided sue
cess, and when we present more in the
spring, we are confident of as large
an attendance and as complete sue
cess.
To all the readers of our eo!amn
we wish A Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

the Senior High School in the follow
