score touchdowns in these one-sided
contests. He could run like deer and
dodge like a cat, and he never felt a
keener pleasure than when. with the
ball tucked tightly under his arm, tie
dashed from side to side through the
whole array of them.
The Cascade boys had arranged to go
in a body to the final game at Wilton,
but practical joke which they played
on the senior monitor upset their plans.
AS a punishment for the breach of dis
cipline they were required to stay at
home and put in an extra hour at drill.
Not even the football substitutes were
allowed to go, and the Cascade contin-
cent had to look on in gloomy silence
while their eleven champions drove
away to do battle without the help CT
their lusty cheers.
When he went home on Friday night
Stubby Fields was rs gloomy rs any of
his mates, though he was not included
in their punishment. He would have
given anything, at the very least his
prospect of new winter suit, to see
the game with Wilton. But he knew
that he was expected to help with the
potato digging on the following day, so
he resoiutely choked down his wishes
and the tears they brought with them.
and said nothing about it. 1t seemed
to him rs though some good angel had
interfercd in his behalf when his father
said, after supper:
II sold Il cow in Wilton to-day, and
somebody will have to lead her down
there tomorrow morning. Ifyou want
| to you can do it, Edward" (Stubby
| had been baptized as Edward, though:
lie sometimes forgot that fact hinself.)
1T will take up most of the day, and
if you can manage to see that football
game, too, you might rs we'll do it."
Before daylight Stubby was on his
way, accompanied by fat red COW
that refused to go more than three
miles an hour in spite of the boys ur-
gent applications of the end of his lead
ing rope. He had hoped to reach the
town before his schoolmates, but he
was unfortunate. fer just as he was
turning down a side street and rejoic-
ing at his escape, coach swept past
with all the Cascade football team on
top. Stubby turned away his head, but
not in time to avoid recognition. There
was Il chorus of 'Hellos!" and then
some jeering remarks addressed joint
ly TO Stubby and his four-footed COM
panion. Capt. Phil quickly silenced
the testers. and the coach ratified on:
but the sting of the bantering words
remained behind, and Stubby's cheeks
xrere still hlyrninr with shame and
anger when he turned out of the yard
where he had finally got rid Of the
COW.

| His first impulse was to turn back
| without waiting to see the game: but
his loyalty to Cascade soon banished
this feeling, and he made up his mind
! that the team should have one man to
cheer for them as long as his breath
| held out.
| The game was an exciting one, and
| Stubby was never in his seat except
| when those about him pulled him down.
Every time the Wilton players made a
gain the air rang with cheer on cheer
from the crowd, while only Stubby's
shrill voice rewarded the efforts of
Cascade. He shouted most Justify, but
soon his voice was too hoarse to make
him except by an occasional spasmodic
effort.
Gradually Stubby's cheerful face
clouded, for the game was going
! against Cascade. Her players were
more sl1illful than their opponents, but
the Wilton team were too heavy for
them. Twice, by sheer force of weight,
Wilton drove the ball down the field
and across the Cascade goal line,
though once their full back missed the
goal Oil the kick. Then, by desperate
rally, Capt. Phil and his men fought
their way to Wilton's line and scored a
touchdown in turn.
The score stood ten to six against Cas-
cade in the middle of the second half,
when there was an accident. Hastings,
one of the Cascade half backs:
wrenched his knee in scrimmage and
lay groaning on the field. Stubby
rushed from the side lines and joined
the group about the fallen player. Capt.
Phil was in frenzy.
cts all up with us now" he groaned.
'sNo show to win. We can't go on with
ten men, and I'd rather be thrashed out
of my boots than to quit" Then, catch
ing sight of Stubby, he shouted: Here.
you, Fields, you can help fill a hole,
anyway. Hustle into Hastings toys and
come on
stubby felt as though he was tread
ing on air when he emerged from the
clubhouse few minutes later, clad in
the suit which Hastings had taken off
and which fitted him. as one of the Viii
ton men sarcastically remarked, 'as
though it had been hung on pole"

off. That's about all you can do"
Stubby obcyed orders carefully; but

by the loss of Hastings. and again they
were forced down to their own five
yard line, where at last they got the bal
on downs.

the referee.
"Ilard, men," cried Phil. Here's your
last chance. Don't give up YETI
III moment the ball came shooting
back toward Phil. That usually steady
player in his excitement made 4 clear
miss of it and it bounded past him
Stnbby was close behind his leader
and, quick as flash, he swerved to one
side, and, catching the ball, turned In
his tracks and ran with it.
The crowd in the seats had seen the
ball 20 past Phil, and thinking the
game over had set up great shout
But it died away in silence as they
saw the derided half back, his red hail
streaming in the wind, double and turn
until he had passed every Wilton player
and was dashing toward the goal with
Gear field ahead of him. Then the Cas-
| cade team. who were far behind in thu
chase, took up the shout, and it seemed
to bear Stubby on like great wave

Stubby rode back in triumph on tor

to his home he got down, and the party
went on to the school without the hero
