The records of two men, Ralph Craig, '11, and Joseph Horner, '11, were the striking features of the next few seasons, Craig winning the two dashes in the Eastern Inter-collegiate in 1911, equaling the record in both, while Horner won first in the discus, second in the shotput, hammer throw and broad jump, and third in the high jump.

His first desire was to complete the decoration of the Sistine Chapel, so that the entire interior should match the magnificence of the ceiling, and to the task he summoned Michelangelo. The great artist hesitated.

Alison. "True friend or lover loves that sense of the unplumbed, of the infinite, in the cared-for one.

Cosmo Versal had concluded that the time was come for housing his animals in the ark. He wished to accustom them to their quarters before the voyage began.

He put an end to the Gothic war; he chastised the Germans who invaded Italy; he recovered Gaul, Spain, and Britain, from the hands of an usurper; he destroyed the proud monarchy which Zenobia had built up in the deserts of the East; he defeated the Alemanni who, with eighty thousand foot and forty thousand horse, had devastated the country from the Danube to the Po; and, not least, he took Zenobia herself a prisoner one of the most celebrated women of antiquity, equaling Cleopatra in beauty, Elizabeth in learning, and Artemisia in valor a woman who blended the popular manners of the Roman princes with the stately pomp of oriental kings.

"Why, Ida, where did you come from?" asked the boy, with a surprise equaling her own. "I'm making a little journey with this lady," said Ida. "So you're going to Philadelphia?" said Charlie. "To Philadelphia!" repeated Ida, surprised. "Not that I know of."

Away to my right, and in the direction from whence I came, I discerned a number of dark specks on the horizon, which filled me with the direst apprehensions. These dark objects were, doubtless, the forms of my pursuers, who had, it would seem, traveled with a celerity almost equaling my own.
