efforts
to keep her four friends with her in spite of the plots of Snobbery,
Gossip, Jealousy, Frivolity and Treachery, and her readiness to extend a
helping hand to Diffidence, Poverty and Misunderstood, result in the
creation of an illusive being known to her only as the Spirit, a
white-robed apparition which visits her more frequently as she
approaches the end of her pilgrimage. At the termination of Senior Lane,
which is separated from the Highway of Life by the Gate of Commencement,
the Spirit, clothed in glittering raiment, appears to Loyalheart, and
she learns that in helping others and clinging to her ideals she has
fostered and nurtured to radiant growth none other than the fabled
College Spirit which she has ardently striven to recognize and possess.

Greatly to her delight, Emma Dean had been asked to play the part of the
Spirit, and exhibited real histrionic ability in the role. As
Loyalheart, Grace, who, day after day, had been painstakingly coached by
Anne, left nothing to be desired in her portrayal of the role assigned
to her. Ruth Denton, Gertrude Wells, and Miriam Nesbit, respectively,
enacted the roles of Honor, Forbearance and Silence, while Elfreda
insisted on playing Good Humor, and was greeted with appreciative
laughter whenever she appeared.

The play was written in blank verse, and many of the passages were
extremely beautiful. Loyalheart's farewell to Haven Home and the
revelation of the Spirit to Loyalheart at the Highway of Life were

also summoned before the curtain and publicly presented with the honor
pin by President Morton.

It was an evening long to be remembered, and the story of Loyalheart and
her pilgrimage was destined to remain in the minds of the Overton girls
for many a day.

It was after eleven o 'clock when a very tired Loyalheart went forth on
a pilgrimage to Wayne Hall, accompanied by her equally loyal supporters,
who were proudly bearing numerous floral offerings which had been handed
to Grace over the footlights.

"I am so tired," she sighed, "but so happy. It was a beautiful play,
wasn't it?"

"And you were the nicest part of it," said Anne fondly. "Your portrayal
of Loyalheart was wonderful."

"And so was your coaching," retorted Grace, promptly.

"It i
