"The examination for the Cherry Court School Scholarship is over," he began.  "With one accord we have adjudged the prize.  The three young competitors have all done admirably.  The questions have been so universally well answered that there would have been a difficulty in giving the prize to any one when all three so very nearly had earned it, were it not for the trial essay; but the trial essay has removed all doubt.  The Scholarship, by every test of learning, of high endeavor, of noble thought, belongs to the girl whose motto on her paper has been 'The Hills for Ever.'  She has indeed gone to the hills for her breezy thoughts, for her noble and winged words.  May she to the longest day she lives retain all that she now feels, and go on truly from strength to strength.  The names of the competitors are not attached to the essays, therefore I must request the girl who has adopted the motto, 'The Hills for Ever,' to come forward, for she is the winner of the Scholarship."
