LEWISTON, ME., OCTOBER, 1907 No. 8 Entered at the Post-Office at f.ewiston, Me., as Second-Class Matter NIGHT Across the plains the quiet shadows creep, Sent out by lofty hills that loom before; Gray messengers from far-off realms of Sleep They speak,—"The reigri of toilsome Day is o'er." The glories of the West now fade and die Behind the fleeing hosts of vanquished Light; And spirit-guests with noiseless tread steal by— No sound, except the whisp'ring voice of Night. The hov'ring dream-god softly spreads his wings Above a world where noise and strife have been, And carries thoughts of sweet and kindly things To minds o'erwhelmed with fret and grief and sin. Oh, weary ones of earth, bowed down with care, Whom sorrow oft hath visited, and pain. The burden of whose day is hard to bear, Lo—still there's peace; for Night returns again! GRACE E. HOLBKOOK, '09. HIS STORY (The following won first prize in the recent Emery Fiction con- test conducted by the STUDENT.) THE WARM eastern sun shone cheerily into the kitchen where Mrs. Crie, with a dexterity born of long practice, was rolling and cutting out molasses cookies. "I declare," she sighed to the cat, who was sunning herself 268 BATES STUDENT in the open doorway, "if it don't seem like the workings of fate, or the perversity of inanimate things you read about! That it should have been left to me, of all women, and that, it being me, I should have two such boys as mine,—good as gold, both of 'em, but sakes o' mercy, knowing nor'caring no more about book learning than them two pullets out there digging up my sweet peas." Laying down her rolling pin, Airs. Crie hastened out of doors and, having shooed away the offending fowls, returned to her cooking again. "It was just like father," she continued, "and perhaps Bennie comes rightly enough by his whimsical notions. Plow well I remember the day when I sat there, a mere child of. twelve, and heard the lawyer read that will,—'to my daughter Maria, $1,000, to be devoted to the education of her oldest son, or if this shall be impracticable, to be devoted to the improvement of the farm.' Sakes o' mercy, what's a body going to do? There's Bennie, my oldest son, as good a boy to work as ever was when he ain't wasting his time with that fiddle, and Carl, sharp as a razor and a regular Jew at trading, but neither one of 'em caring a snap of his little finger about schooling. Don't it beat the Dutch! It was all I could do to get 'em through the Academy, and now they've been through 'most a year, and what they'l do next I'm sure I don't know. It seems like flying in the face of Providence not to make use of that money,—it ain't as if we was millionaires,—but I suppose the only way is to leave it to the boys themselves; it's beyond my deciding." So say- ing, Mrs. Crie pushed her big panful of cookies into the oven and started for the upper floor in search of new worlds to conquer. It was afternoon of the same day and the two brothers jogged comfortably along in the farm wagon, returning home from the city, where they had just disposed of their last barrel of winter apples. There had been silence between them for some little time.
