Paddy O'Toole still clasping the ball,
and it was six inches over the line!
1t seemed at first that Paddy had
gone over the line" too, but the medi-
cal and surgical corps succeeded in re-
tanning him on this side. A decision on
this point, however, was not reached
in time for Paddy to proceed with the
game. His loss seriously weakened
the ranks of the blue. They were
pushed back foot by foot, the ball was
was within three yards of their goal
line and in Harvard's possession when
time was called.
But the game was won, and the
name of Larry Bangs-so familiar to
Paddy that he had nearly forgotten
his own-once more arose until 1t
seemed to echo back from the sky.

see that she will suffer by the loss of
Lawrence"
"Then I am not to graduate" said
Lawrence, sadly. 81 am not to have
my diploma"
"Have you won ftp" asked his father.
81 don't wish to be unnecessarily severe,
but must ask what you have given to
the university in exchange for it."
Lawrence hung his head.
''It's true" he said. II begin to per-
ceive that am not fitted for modern
collegiate life. Let Paddy have the
diploma. Palmam qui meruit ferat."
"And what do you intend to do?"
81 have an ambitious plan," returned
Lawrence, land if you are generous to
me in the matter of money believe
that shall bring it to success. 1 have
dreamed of starting a purely educa-
tional institution in Central America.
1t is much too hot there for either base
ball or football, and there is no water
for boat-racing. In that favored eli
mate l shall hope to concentrate the
mind of youth upon purely intellectual
attachments, but do not believe that
that can ever be done again in the tenn
perate zone. Have your consent?"
"You have" said John Bangs, land
l think that's the best way out of it..
Go, my son, and found your school. If
you run it on that principle it can
never be rival of Yale. I'll back you
with all the money you need"
"And l say, Lawrence" said Harry,
eff you strike any fellow over there
who looks as if he could play football,
ship him across to me. They say some
of those natives grow to be seven feet
high, and Yale will need two or three
men like that after Paddy leaves"
The subsequent adventures of Paddy
O'Toole are well known to the reader.
1t will be remembered that the so-called
Larry Bangs, during the last months
of his stay at Yale, suffered from an af-
lection of the eyes which made it nee
essary for him to be accompanied
whenever he took an examination by
an amanuensis, who recorded the an
swers to the questions on the paper, It
was fortunate that this private secre-
tary possessed an excellent collegiate
education, for otherwise he might have
been bothered by the fact that Paddy
never said anything which related even
remotely to the subject mentioned on
the examination paper. AS 1t was, Pad
DIV secured excellent rank.
1t was even more fortunate that his
eyes did not trouble him except at ex-.
animation time. He could see the home,
plate and get his eye on the ball as well
as ever.
He was secretly adopted by old John
Bangs, and after graduation he ac-
cepted the post of athletic instructor;
in a western university at a salary
much larger than that received by its
president.
The reader will have no trouble at
all in predicting that he will marry
Florence, with whom he is deeply In
love, and that she will be proud and
happy always.

1.-THE ENp.l
ENGLAND AND SPAIN.
The Sea Dogs Kept the Feeling of Hatred
Lively for Years.


Lively for Years.
Devotion to the queens majesty was
the picturesque form of an intense
patriotism and as the 10th century
entered it's last decade patriotism be-
came simply hatred of Spain. Strange
dogs which have never seen one an
other before snarl when they meet;
they scent antipathies. Two men will
feel an instructive mutual dislike even
when the course of business makes
formal politeness necessary. So it was
with the Epglishman and Spaniard.
The necessities of politics kept the two
courts for long years on terms of hol-
low politeness. 1t was strained again
and again to breaking point, but neither
side could afford to break it. If Philip
were to declare war France might re-
member old scores still unsatistied and
the prosecuted Netherlands would rise
for revenge. If Elizabeth yielded hasti-
ly to the pressure of her ministers or
her people or her foreign allies she
might find the French listless, the
Dutch powerless and herself pitted
alone against the worldwide power
and enormous wealth of Spain, and
then her disaffected subjects would rise
and rally round her rival, Mary of Scot
land.
Each was obliged to play a waiting
game-lying, complimenting, protest
ing with war at the heart and peace on
the lips. 1t was a game which, though
congenial to the peculiar temperament
of Elizabeth, wore out her ministers
and made Philip gloomy monomaniac.
Both sides were heartily sick of it, yet
neither dared throw up the cards. But
while the courts went through the
weary farce, the peoples knew that they
were enemies, There was sphere far
removed from the control of cabinets
the sea; and for years, while London
and Seville were at peace, on the high
seas there was war. The sea dogs not
only snarled, but snapped. This was
their Importance in English history.
At their own risk, but with the full con-
nivanoe of the queen, they took the
Spanish matter into their own hands
and dealt with it in their own down.
right way.
The tales of their deeds kept the ma
ton from growing dull and tired of the
wearisome policy of the government,
and so forgetful of the great work
which God had given it to do. And
when the time came for the WORKOUT
masks to be thrown aside, and Spain
and England looked at one another
with the frank warlight in their eyes,
the sea dogs were straightway at the
queens service, with captains, crew
and ships not only ready but trained
for the great struggle.-Good Words.
