If the immortal soul of man be a

it began to tick again, it was night,
and the point of view was the pill
low Of a bed in n strange room. A
lamp was burning on small table
1T the beds head, and the room APP
nearrd as half-story chamber in a
substantial log house, with the
rough rafters pitching low over the
bed.
A murm,,r of voices came from be-
knives and forks on ironstone china.
Presently chair complained in the
room beneath, and a slow step
mounted the stair. l closed my eyes
YEARLY to open them when the
leisurely steps reached the bedside.
The man who stood over me was
tall, lean, leathern-skinned; and with
no more beard than an Indian. If
he had not worn his hat at the sup
portable below, he had put it on to
come upstairs. He was in his shirt
sleeves, and his manner was of those

into the icy waters of the Torolito
was sharply reactionary, and with
~" sraspiny baptism the battle for
life was on.
Measured by agcnizings it lasted
long. The water was no more than
waist-deep, but the might of strong

stirrup-word: "But I shouldn't ride

So much for we'll mans advice to
an i'll one who, having ridden moro

I had some talk with Lovatt and the

I laughed. Lets he frank with
each other, Angus. 1t goes good

to hold the Torolito. You will have
to admit that if Wykamp hadn't"
"But he has" broke in Macpher-
son, with rising wrath. "He might
have had the Torolito and welcome
if he had left me that which is worth
more to me than all the stock ranges
that lie out of doors. But he
wouldn't, and now he's got to take
the consequences. She won't let me
obl,terate him, but I'll break him
world without end before I'm

There was a vindictive emphasis
IN the threat which started the mill
stones of reflection. Could circum-
stances, and sharp turn of the
purely personal thumb-screws, trans
form frank fighter into vengeful
enemy? Macpherson had always
been a hearty combatant, but his an
tagonism was of the kind which
seeks an early hand-shaking after
the fact.

"It's possible, but it will be ex.
pensive. He will have to tunnel q
small mountain to got his outlet
from the head-gates. And that isn't
the worst of it,"
"What is the worst of it?"
Macpherson pushed his stool from
the table and began to fill his pipe.
He was provokingly deliberate, and
when the tobacco was fairly alight
his explanation was of the vaguest.
IF he hasn't already done so, he'll

aye Merry Game of Football"

Eye Merry Game of Football from An
cient Times Till Now" is the title of an
illustrated article in the November st.
Nicholas from, the pen Of N. o. Mes.
senger. The Greeks invented the sport,
and through the Romans it reached the
Britons. In the time of Queen Eliza
beth football was in high favor. 1t was
plsyed in the city streets. on the COM
mons, and in country lanes. There was
not much rule or order to the game, the
object being merely to put the ball into
the enemy's goal, by fair means or by
foul. The goals might be a mile apart,
with bitches and hedges and high
roads between. The players struggled
in earnest, and broken bones were no
rarity in the rush that followed.
This was probably the toughest and
most brutal period in football history.
The accounts Of the times speak fire.
q lently Of accidents, and too often there
were fatal incidents in the playing Of
the game.
Shrove Tuesday was football day in
those times, and then the whole popu-
lace went football mad. Every one
turned out to kick the ball. There was
one grand scramble to reach it as it was
punted down the streets, over housetops
and across commons. The merchants
barred shop windows and doors as the
merry crowds surged through the
streets, for scant heed was given to any
obstacle that stood in the way Of the
pursuit Of the ball. Sometimes two or
more crowds, in chase OF the flying pig.
skin, fell foul of ones another's course,
and there was TODD. the strongest held
the right Of way, perhaps carrying of
both balls, and causing the other crowd
to join their pursuit.
With the year 1900 the game began to
be adopted by the schools and univessi-

ties as the leading sport. In 1863 an
association was formed and it was made
a scientific sport. At this time the
game was played differently by differ
ent universities. Rugby permitted car.
rying the ball. holding runners. chsrg-
ing and tsckling. while Harrow and
Winchester only allowed kicking. In
1871 the Rugby union was formed. and
rules laid down. Prior to 1875 Ameri-
can universities paid little attention to
football. 1t was Harvard that brought
the game to the United States, and in
order to have foeman worthy Of its
steel taught it to Yale. "Old Eli'' took
gracefully to the drubbing that was in
volved in learning the first lesson, which
was learned 90 well that for many years
thereafter Harvard had no more victo-
riee.
The Rugby game has been developed
in America mainly along the lines of in
reference and tsckling. The Yankees
were quick to perceive advantages
which could be gained in this direction
and put them into play. In 1886
Princeton introduced the 'wedge, !"
using it against Harvard, who in turn
took it up against Yale next year. Then
Harvard went one better and brought
out the 'aying WEDGE" which with the
"V," the "push' and the "plow," are
permanent features OF football work.
In the perfection Of football playing
into a scientific sport from the old
rough and. Humble game of the past an
involved system Of signals has come into
use. The signals are made by calling
out numbers.
There seems to be no lessening OF in
terest in the sport. There may be as
mary as twenty thousand spectators,
and the great game Of football, which
began with the Greeks, was carried on
by the Romans. developed by the Brit
ish, and perfected by the Americans,
seems to be indeed the king Of autumn
sports.
