With one exception the through
trains OF the Burlington Route are
almost invariably well-filled, The
exception is our St Paul-Chicago

usually room and to spare.
Don't infer that it is neither so fine
nor so fast as ANY train of ANY other
line between St. Paul and Chicago.
On the contrary theac is no more

Il spent three weeks in Brussels and

were having a fine time Ray Dodd,
who could not swim, was suddenly
seized by cramps.
He shouted for assistance as he was

went down. Otto quickly located the
drowning boy and seized him about the
body and bravely attempted to pull
him into shallow water.
Ray, who was completely frightened
and excited, clutched wildly at his
would-be preserver's body Time and
again did Otto attempt to shake the
death-like grip which the drowning boy
had fixed upon him.
The battle was an unequal one, and
though Otto Dodd tried with might and
main he could not release himself from
the grasp Of his drowning relative, and
in a few moments both of the boys
sank beneath the waters of Multus
brook never to again arise.
The news of the sad double drowning

course, which kicked up a sea that ran
mountains high, compared with the
ripples which play on Ten Eyck's prac-
tice ground at Lake Quinslgamond. He
had the outside position, which is the
worst, while Mcguire rowed in the lee

bank of the river, and whose protection
made his course almost as smooth as a
mill pond

use his brains as well as his hands
helped him win the race. He realized

warning. Starting off like a bullet
from a gun, he rowed away from his
| opponents and crossed to the inside
course, where he was in almost as good
water as Mcguire. He remained sufl-
| GENTLY ahead Of Mcguire on the way to

away, so that he did not have to worry
about the danger of a foul.
He turned the stake ahead of his re-
puted formidable opponent, and headed
for home with a lead that would win,

self he increased his lead. Mcguire s
heart failed him as he realized the
hopelessness of his task, and Ten Eyck
simply padded home.
Had he rowed as he might, he would
have beaten Mcguire quarter of a
mile.
Mcguire raised a cry of foul. but it
didn't go: He claimed Ten Eyek turned
the first buoy from the wall, which was
Maguire's, and that as he chased Ten

The judges at the turn said Mcguire
followed Ten Eyek closely around the
stake and the boats overlapped, but did
not touch. Maguire's protest was not

from his terrible defeat, Whitehead

there were Worcester men in them.
