Deaf and Dumb Athletes,

In blind men some of the senses are
much keener than those possessed by
people who have the full use of their
eyes, and the deaf and dumb athletes
Of Washington Heights offer a striking
instance of this marvellous provision Of
nature. These boys not only make
physically powerful athletes, but they
are quick of appreciation and learn
new sports rapidly. They pick up the
fine points Of play, If anything, a
trife more quickly than the ordinary
boys of their age, and they are certain
ly very successful IN competition. A
team Of expert basket ball players has
been developed from among the pupils
of the school They also had strong
baseball team last spring, and year
ago one Of the strongest football teams
produced by any school from boys Of
their age was turned out. Deaf mutes
have distinct advantage over ordi-
nary boys, In that their attention is
never distracted from their play by
happenings outside of the game. Their
inability to hear makes them concen-
trate their minds better on what they
are doing. They are particularly easy
to teach, for they are very tractable
and understand quickly what is wanted
Of them

cropping his way across X, sat down In
the dark. With his head resting on his
hands, the same perplexing, harassins
thoughts which had troubled him for
the month past chased through his
tired brain.
Was he fool, he asked himself, for
the hundredth time. He had deceived
his friends, making them think he
must leave home on account of his
health, when in reality It had never
been better. He was going away to
exile, leaving his family. all his &c
quaintances, Crane. and. worst Of all
Mildred.
And for what? Because In that
wretched dream he had seen Mildred
happily married to Crane.
He was tempted even now, ut the
Seventh hour, to 60 to Mildred and ask
aer to be his wife. But the spell 6 the
dream was upon him STILL and he felt
that he could not bctray his friend.
Even If he could, what reason had he

little erimly as he thought how every
one believed him to have one foot In

face had helped to deceive them.
