"Have yo u a knife?" " \!\I hy, yes, I thi nk so," he said , awkward ly fumbling in hi s pocke ts . "Can I s ha rp e n it for you ?"

Pru e sat down a n d watched him .

" I lik e th e way you s h a rpen pencil s. You take the wood off so evenly."

Jak e looked pleased. " "Vhy that's nothin g," he lau g h ed, "anybody can sh a rpen them like that. \ !\I ait a minute and I'll put you r initial s o n it. " "Yo u carve beautifull y ."

by hi s side . He stretch ed out hi s arm and picked it up, and sta red at it stupid ly. T h en a s trange express ion stole ovel- hi s countenance and he ab se ntly be ga n to fumble for something. His face pucke red into a puzz led fro wn.

The bit of paper was a ph otograph of a tall yo uth in a col lege sweate r, ho ldin g a n inlaid pipe in hi s hand -a picture of him se lf. O n t h e corner was w ri tten "J. F. c., May 24, 190- ." H e had g i\' e n that pi ctur e t o Billy \ i\l infi elcl during hi s Sen io r year . Th e pi cture recall ed hi s pipe to hi s mind, and h e turned to loo k fo r it. A hasty sc rutiny did not re\'ea l it, and h e pi ck ed up hi s sad dle, only t o dro p it, and quickl y kne el to exa min e so mething o n the g ro und . F o r the re, n car th e plac e whe re h e had bee n ly in g, was the imprint of a daint y he e l in a bit of moss.

J ac k slow ly rose, pu s h ed b ac k hi s hat. and dri vin g hi s hand s deep int o hi s trousers' pocket s, t ri ed to think. Thin gs we re a trine co mplicat ed to say the least.

T h at fa ce haunt ed him , a nd was vagu ely suggest i\'e o f so m e o n e h e knew. It was a rat h e r unu sual ex pe ri enc e fo r a yo un g man t o awake ami find a g irl loo kin g at him , curiously, as if h e were so m e new o r st ran ge s pec ies of animal.

Then, for th e wood nyl11 ph to di sappea r, a nd in so do in g, drop a ph otograph of him se lf-what wa~ h e to make of it ? H ow had that picture 'w andered fro m a n easte rn

co ll ege t o wn to a so litary spur of th e Rockie s? B ill y, h e kn ew, was in Canada, and hi s home wa~ in Ne w York, that is, wh e n h e was at hOl11e.

W h ere h ad h e see n that face befo re? H e mu st so lve th e puzzle in so m e way .

Th e foll o wing year, 1905, s aw the college we ll la unch ed in the dralllatic world. That was the yea r o f the fir st college opera, when the " Little Tycoo n" was g ive n. A picked cast of s tudents , coac h ed by Prof. Lp ham and Miss \1 0e nch , gave admirable performcl1lC eS of Gold s mith 's "Sh e Stoops to Conq uer" from u nl ettered Blackfoo t o n the north , where a n ew s pap er cr itic a sk ed if the studcnt s wrote th e play, to eq ual1y unl etter ed Richfi eld o n th e sou t h , where th e nati\'es were b o red and unp en etrat ed by Goldsmit h 's wit.

Th e most app reciative a udi ences were found in Logan and Salt 14ake. Thi s was the first a ncl o nly time that the co ll ege h as g iven it s play in th e cap ital.

Th e ne x t tw o years th e re w e re no college plays, but in s pite of consolid atio n, tUlllult and unres t, the co l1 ege co ntinu ed to s in g its o peras gay ly and gave Gilbert and Sul1i\'an's "Pirat es of Pe n zan ce" a nd ¡'P inafo re. " With the y ar 1<;07 b egan a ne w dramati c reg im e. Th e rei g n of th e classica l S hak es pea re and the o ld English co m edi es was O\'e r for a t im e at leas t.

It was o nly a part of the e t e rnal cycl e which is cons tantly dri\' ing man fro m

roma nce to rea li s m , from the s piritu a l t o the material, from the id ea l to the practical. The fir st of the moclern play s was Gilbert's "Pyg malion and Galatea ," appare dtly a Greek elram a, but thoro ug h I y mo dern in id eas and s pi ri t.

There are many s till in college who remembe r th e charm of its cleverness and the good acting of Mi ss J-layball.

T h at year the operas were "The Ro se of A u\'ergne " and the "lVIarriage by Lant e rnlight," tw o a s pleas in g comi c ope ra s a s o ne would want to see both for action and mu s ic, but the ultra-m o de rn s d emanded a cho ru s and wo uld not be sa ti sfied with principal s a lo n e. Th ey got a go rgeou s cho m s th e n ext year in "'Babette" as wel l as exce llent solo work and a good mu s ical comedy.
