ing al every step that the earth would
open and swallow him up.
Twice the Camden backs smashed into
the Hilton line ard then the full-back,
with a strong kick sent the ball fifty
yards up the field and the goal was out Of
danger. Up and down the field the bat
tie was waged the rest OF the first half,
with no perceptb.e advantage to either
team.
Whenever the play would drift danger
ously near either goal a vigorous defense
and well-directed punt would send the
bail back into the other teams territory,
and the half closed with the bali in Hill
tons possession on their own forty-yard
line.
The captain came up to Armstrong in
the dressing room, where the players were
resting and regaiuing their strength.

man, but don't let il worry you I've seen

He whined ard moved his limbs as he
dreamed, and a proving cat that had
paused to investigate the noise in the
shayings fitted away. All the sounds
that came to old Scar-Face's ears were
familiar; so, from the clubhouse he sneak
ed to the barn, as noiselessly as a ghost,
pausing on the way to listen. Hearing
nothing, he went further until he was
under the caves of the barn, in one end
of which the horses of the huntsmen were
stabbed. Here he stopped and listened for
some time. What could the silence mean?
Peeping from the sedge-feld during the
afternoon, he had seen more than one
horse and rider pass along the road, and
several whiffs of strange dogs came to his
sensitive nose. He concluded that these
men and dogs meant another chase after
him; but he was not certain, and so came
forth in the dark 70 investigate.
Usually when hounds are taken away
from home and fastened up out of sight
of their masters, somesof the younger ones
will get lonely and begin to bark and howl
Old Scar-Face knew this well, but he
didn't know that seasoned dogs rarely ever
make such a demonstration unless they
are hungry. Consequently, when he heared
no barking and bowling, he was almost
convinced that, after a nights foray, he
could return TO the sedge-field and sleep
undisturbed the next day. sill there was
a doubt, and to case his fears he decided
to test the matter more fully.
on q fence near him a hen and half
dozen pulets were peacefully roosting. He
crept up directly under the hen, gathered
his strong legs under him, leaped upward,
ana the next moment was canter.ng
through dry weeds dragging the squat
ling hen by the wing. Surely the racket
was sufficient to alarm hte plantation. AT
the barn he dropped the hen, placed his
forefoot firmly upon her, and he'd his
head high to listen. There was certainly
a loud response 10 the hens alarm The
geese In the spring lot made a tremendous
cutlery, seconded by the guineas, but the
only dog that barked was the cur that
made a mistake by attacking Hodo.
This certainly seemed 10 be a fair test.
and Old Scar-Face was satisfied. He
crushed the poor hen's neck IN his cruel
jaws, and put an end to her appeal for
help. He was not very hungry, but he
carried the hen home, promising himself
a hearty breakfast in the mornings He
ate good ration, however, and then
cured himself snugly together until he
hooked like a big bah of yellow fur.
He was awake early the next morning,
but before he was half through his break
fast the light Of day was beginning to creep
under the briars. when he heard a long,
mournful wall at the Abercombie place,
followed by another. How often he had
heard this vail II was the cry of fox
hounds. He stayed not to hear II re-
peated, but skipped out into the gray
dawn, like the shadow of fear stealing
away from the Hight.

THE FULLBACM
STORY OF BIG FOOTBALL GAME,
WITH A SUB CALLED IN AT THE
VERY LAST MINUTE.

By Jean Oudin.
Kelly, the Hilton College fullback, was
lying stretched out on his bed in the Cam
den House. In the afternoon Hilton was
to play the famous Camden University
team, and Kelly was o5eying the coachs
injunction TO keep quiet and try to think
of something beside the game.
Some one knocked on his door, Come"
he called, expecting to see one of the fell
lows, but the door opened and Western
Union messenger boy stuck his head in
Are you Mr.. Kelly?" he asked yes
What is it?" "A message for you"
Kelly took the yellow envelope and care
lessly tore it open. AS he ran his eye
over the dispatch his face paled under it's
coat Of tan, and he caught his breath with
a gasp. Then, without a word, he rushed
out Of the room, almost upsetting the
messenger boy, and downstairs to the
clerks desk.
"When's The first train North?" he de-
manded, breathlessly. Forbes, the cap
tain. and Coach Shaw were sitting in the
office, and his question brought them both
to the desk you're not running away,

Il must 80 home. My fathers hurt

telegram into Forbes hand.

father is helpless-dying, perhaps2' and
Kelly turned impatiently 20 the clerk
There's a train north in fifteen minutes"
said the latter. You can make IT, II
you hurry" Kelly raced upstairs for his
hat and top coat and was down again in
a moment. Have some Of the fellows
take my foot bail clothes back to Hilton
tonight win you?" he shouted over his
shoulder, as the door slammed behind
him.
Forbes looked at the coach 10 utter be-
wilderment Here's a nice mess" he
eroaned whats to be done now?"
shaw shrugged his shoulders. ITS
about as bad as 1t can be- but what's The
matter with giving Armstrong a try? He s
been playing fullback on the scrubs all

a chance. If any one does"
"Armstrong at fullback / sec that boy

about as much Of an impression on It as

ssIIaye you any one else TO suggest?'
"You have me there, but see our fin

Shaw stood up and squared his broad
shoulders Never mind he said. "I'1
take al the responsibility. I'm going to
find Armstrong and have a talk with him. -

dropped into an empty chair beside him
with pleasant word, and at once plunged
into the subject. DO You know that
you're going TO have chance to immor-
talize yourself this afternoon"
Armstrong gazed at him blankly
kelly has been called home, and you're
10 be put in at fullbaok in his place"
Armstrong drew long breath, and ior
a moment stared steadily out of the win
dow, without saying a word. Then the
young fellow turned his head and looked
the older man squarey in the face
"Well,' he said slowly, tn give 'em the
best that's in me"
That's the talk. I've been watching
your play, and l think that you have the
right kind of stuff in you. Now, we're
going to have some nard work this after
noon-some mighty hard work-and unless
every man does his level best, we're to-
ing to be licked and licked badly. We
can hardly dare hope TO win, and the best
that we can do is to keep the score down.
so that we shant be ashamed 70 go back
home. I'm not trying to scare you, but
| want to show you just how stiff a piece
of work you have cut our for YOU"
Shaw got up ana sauntered back TO the
captain. 81 believe the boy has good
nerve and I've said just enough to make
his play like a flend. l made him think
we hadn't a ghost of a show to win. and
he's just the sort of fellow to rlsls his
neck for a lost cause"

In the second half, the superior weight
and strength of the Camden players be-
gan to tell, and IN spite Of brave defense
the pay was forced into the Hilton terri
tory Nothing but repeated punts saved
the Hilton goal line from being crossed
and each successive onslaught carried the
ball a little nearer. All hope Of scoring
on the Camden team had disappeared, and
the exhausted team longed only for the
call Of time to save them from defeat.

final spring for the tackle the runner
