Two Talented Young Artists.

Think of having your picture taken fifty
times day. This is what a little girl,
just seven years old this month, thinks
great fun, and the photographers OF New
York are glad to pay her literally for
posing for them in her own graceful ways.
Not that Miss Beryl Morse needs the
money, for her father is weli-known and
successful lawyer and Beryl is a pupil of
the great Bonajanti; but Beryl, in addi-
tion to her other accomplishments, is
quite an actress, and this winter makes
her debut at one OF the Broadway thea
tres, SO that having a few hundred pic
lures will not come amiss.

BY JAMES ALBERT WALES.

power to proceed at once. Terry O'Brien's
father was a lumber dealer. and the boys
accepted his kind offer to sell them
lumber at cost. They ordered the follow
ing materials for beginning:
Two thousand and sixty feet of spruce
beams. 2x3 inches, for frame of building.
Six thousand one hundred feet of
Notwithstanding for sides and ends.
Four thousand feet of Georgia pine, 1x4
inches, tongued, grooved and dressed, for
flooring.
One thousand six hundred board feet of
undressed planks for roofing.
Shingles for 1,600 square feet of roofing.
They also purchased at a hardware
store:
Ten pounds 5-inch wire spikes for
frame.
One keg light wire nails for weather.
boarding.
One keg tenpenny nails for flooring and
roofing.
One keg shingle nails.
This made a total expenditure of nearly
s2l5 for first materials. 1t was thought
better to get little too much material
than too little. Fortunately, the boys
would be able to get bricks for their
foundation from the foundation of a barn
which had been burned down upon the
site they had chosen. and as the barn had
been fitted with water connection for the
horses which had been kept in it, the
boys would have water at hand for their
shower baths. The fact that they could
work only after school, between $3.50 and
6 O'Clock, and on Saturdays, was felt to
be great Inconvenience.
Mr.. O'Brien found that he would not be
able to deliver the lumber inside of ten
days. AS the football season was now
over, ii was voted to organize a basket
ball team, as no work could be done till
the materials arrived. There was no in
door space available for practice, so the
boys constructed baskets on Smiths lot,
and bought a practice ball The goal
baskets were made by tying cord netting
to stout wooden hoops, IS inches in
diameter. braced to a framework ten feet
from the ground.
A cord was attached to the bottom of
| the netting, so as to pull the ball out of
/ the basket after goal had been thrown.
! The wooden screen back of the basket
was Ike feet, and the ground space was
marked out with lime 25x50 feet.
They practiced diligently and soon their
choice of a team narrowed down to five
regular players and five substitutes, of
whom Harry Hanford was captain and
Alex McGregor manager. The boys had
trained well. and as a result their team
was fast and full of nerve and endurance.
Ten players, including the manager, jour
neyed to the city Thursday evening and
found their way to the gymnasium OF the
Golden Knights. After getting into their
uniforms consisting of bathing jerseys,

shoes, which looked rather shabby beside

the visiting players tried throwing for the
strange goals and passing the ball. They
! lined up in this order:
Right forward, Hanforl (captain); left
forward, Tickner; centre, McGregor; right
guard Graham, and left guard, Sayles.
The space around the sides of the hall
was occupied by the spectators, including
many well-dressed boys and girls and
their parents. The game soon began, and
the floor became a bewildering scene OF
moving figures. The knights had an ad
vantage on their home floor, and for a
while they swept the visitors off their
feet, throwing six goals quickly. Score, u
to O.
Perseverance soon rallied and threw
three goals, making the score 1916. The
score at the end of the half was 14-14.
One of the Golden knights seemed dis
posed to Slug" and disobey the rules
whenever the umpires We're not looking.
Toward the end of the half this fellow
Saulkin by name, gave Harry Hanford a
sharp jab in the ribs, causing the latter
to lose his wind for a moment. Harry
protested to one of the umpires. who hap
pened to be substitute player for the
Knights. The umpire looked at his we'll
worn uniform with scornful glance, then
raised his eyes and said. slowly:
Indeed, So you believe in telling tales,
do you?"
Nothing of the kind" Harry replied,
controlling his anger. 1T is your bust
ness as an official to look for foul play
ing, and when you fail to see it the rules
provide that the captain may protest"
Protest not allowed" answered the
umpire, winlting at Saullsin. Harry said
nothing and went on with the game, for
which spirit he was applaudei by several
lovers of fair play in the audience
In the second half neither side gained
with the score 20 to 90 1t was necessary
to play overtime to decide the game.
The ball was tossed up for the centres,
and Alex slapped it to Rex. Rex fumbled
it, and the opposing guard threw it down
the hall. Saulllin caught it, but George
Graham blocked his try ior goal. Saulkin
lost his temper at this and deliberately
struck George in the face with his left
elbow, at the same time tossing the ball
into the basket from his right hand
There WIS cheer this, as it meant
that the knights had won. 2 to 20, but
Captain Harry protested at once. in view
of Saulkin's rough playing. The umpires
disagreed as to whether the foul had been
committed. and the referee, to whom the
decision had been left. said that as he
had not seen the play in question, he saw
no reason to interfere. and the score
would stand % to 20.
This was clear case of unfair deal
ing, and many of the spectators joined in
protesting. The referee. who, by the way.
was a brother of one of the Knights, re-
fused to change his decision. However
the manager of the Knights. who seemed
to be square sort of fellow, agreed to
play another game in the Perseverance
Clubhouse when it should be completed.

The boys of the Perseverance Club had
voted to hold a fair to help raise funds
for a clubhouse. and in carrying out this
project they were well assisted by their
mothers, sisters, and girl friends. Every
thing was ready by the week before
Christmas, and the fair was given in Mrs.
Gladwin's house. All kinds of fancy
articles, useful as well as ornamental,
had been sewed, pasted, painted, and put
together in various ways by willing hands,
and these found ready sale among SYM
pathizing friends of the boys. Wilbur
Wheatley had painted some clever post
ers advertising the event, and as all the
village had heard of the new club by
this time there was a large attendance.
Lemonade and cake were served by the
girls, who were dressed fetchingly as
mattresses in neat aprons and caps.
One hundred and fifty-one dollars and
seventy-fve cents was realized from this
fair, deducting all expenses, which made
q handsome beginning for the clubhouse
fund. The boys passed resolutions thank
ing those who had SO generously given
the fair for their benefit, and acknowl
edged the kind interest of those who had
attended. The resolutions were published
in the "Riyerview Record" the local
paper.
The new clubhouse was discussed at the
meeting. A committee of five, with Tom
Barry as chairman, reported on plans.
Toms father was an architect, and had
helped the boys in preparation OF their
drawings.
Treasurer Charley olmsted reported
that he had seen Mr.. jerks, owner of a
ve-y suitable lot on the river front, and
he had said that the boys could have it
for 500, although he would have asked
at least $50 of any other parties.
1t was proposed that the members build
the clubhouse themselves. The cost Of
materials was figured at $3.50. This meant
that 5000 must be raised before opera
tions could begin. Joe Stein suggested
issuing go per cent bonds, to mature in
ten years, having par value of 81 per
share, and TO buy these bonds back as
fast sums of money were raised from
gate receipts. The plan was accepted,
and Treasurer Charley spent his spare
time during the next week collecting sub
scriptions to the clubs bond list. Sew
eral people took five and ten bonds, and it
was not hard to find subscribers TO all
Alex McGregor printed the bond certifi-
Gates on his press, using form adapted
from the bond of a corporation. 1t was
stated that the club could at any time
buy back the bond at its par value of 81
per share.
Charley now had S40O on hand. and with
S1OG of this he bought the lot. The boys
now studied the plans carefully. The
clubhouse was to be one-story build
ing. 25x5O feet on the ground, 10 feet high
at the sides, and 81 feet high from floor
