tionally fine students, which made
the contrast all the more striking.
For Roger was remarkably unlike
his brothers. He seemed to labor
under the impression that he had been
sent to college simply and solely for
the purpose of learning to play foot
ball. Apparently nothing else had
power to kindle the slightest en-
thusiasm in his sluggish breast, and
his father and mother argued and ex-
postulated with him in vain.
SIS there any prospective benefit to-
be derived from these hours spent in
scra billing after football?" his faith
err questioned, severely; to which
Roger merely responded in his usual
off-hand style s'whO knows but L may
be elected captain of the varsity team
next year?"
q.'Is that the height of your ambi-
tion?' his parent returned bitterly.
81 am terribly disappointed in you,
sir. 1 had hoped to make profess
sional man of 20 u, not professional
athlete, and had even aspired to Sc E.
ing you some day in our leading law
office with my old friend, Wilkinson
Smalley, but it's no use. Smalley

PROMISE" and Mr.. Bartlett sighed
YEARLY.
''It does no good to talk to Roger
he confded to his wife afterward,
for hardly ten minutes had elapsed
after I had been demonstrating with
him about the evils of football before
he inquired if 1 wouldn't bring you
down to see the game on Saturday,
and informed me that he had saved
two tickets for u.s.
Mrs. Bartlett regarded her husband
helplessly. What did you say to him

Il told HIM certainly not,'" Mr..
Bartlett exclaimed, land I expressed
my surprise at his daring to suggest
such thing. Show me some lasting
benefit, or any abiding good, that is

game, I told him, and. then come to
me to abet you in such folly, but not
till then"
And so Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett fail ed
to witness that memo rable game in
which their youngest son gained for
himself such enviable lanrels Once
IN the ne1d, Roger was IKE one trans
formed. Keen. alert, cool, rising
splen didly to every emergency, no one
would have known him for the same

men of humanity who grieved the
ambitious souls of his parents by his
small aptitude for Greek.
The great game over, the victorious
team fastened back to their gymna-

grounds so that in order to reach it
they were obliged to traverse the cen
ter of the town and cross the railroad
tracks.
Roger, who had been detained
moment or so longer than the others,
reached the station short time after
they had crossed, and found the
platforms crowded with people who
were returning from the game,
mingled with those who were alight-
ing from incoming trains. AS
he stepped upon the platform he be-
came conscious that something I'M
usual was going on, and he immedi-
ately perceived that the eyes of the
multitude were riveted upon a figure
halfway across the tracks, figure
pausing there in ewiIderment.
There's a train coming each way"
some body gasped; why doesn't he
get off the track?''
The station agent and one or two
other officials were shouting loudly.
but the man, who was old and very
deaf. appeared thoroughly dazed. AS
he was prepared to step on the track
nearest him he had caught sight of
one train coming down upon him, and
he now staggered back and was about
coming express. when suddenly some
thing very unexpected happened.
