Mr.. Davidson is the ninety nth arch
bishop of Canterbury, dating from the
foundation of the see. in A. D. 697. He
was born in Edinburgh on April Z, 184S
His parents were pure Scotch, and on
his mothers side DR.. Davidson descend

His father was q professional man in
moderate circumstances, and the son
was sent to Harrow. From Harrow he
went to Trinity college, Oxford. where
he was graduated in 1871. He was or
dained in 1874 and for three years was
curate OF small church at hartford,
in Kent Shortly after leaving college
DR.. Davidson was accidentally shot while
hunting, an accident that threatened to
wreck his whole career. but which
proved, however, to be happy acct
dent. The young mans misfortune
aroused tho sympathy Of Archbishop
TAFT, of Canterbury, and he was in
vited to become the archbishop's chap

young chaplain married Miss Edith TAFT,
the primate's daughter. Archbishop
TAFT died in 1882, when DR.. Davidson re-
ceived from Queen Victoria the appoint
ment of dean of Windsor. He was
great favorite with Queen Victoria,
and when Archbishop Benson died she
expressed the wish that DR.. Davidson
should become his successor. DR..
Davidson, however, requested permis-
sion to decline the honor, and DR.. Tenn
pie was nominated to the see Of Can
terbury. In 1889 DR.. Davidson was ap-
pointed to the see of Rochester, and in
1895, his health being poor he accept

it's paws were too big. Unlike most
kittens, it was clumsy and heavy, and
they called 1t the cat cub, and later
the Cub. 1t spent the daytime curled
up on SparToW's cot, and it's purr filled
the barracx room. AT night 1T disap-
peared, but regularly at dawn it show
ed up again. The beast seemed never
hungry and sometimes there were red
clots about its jowls, redder even than
its red, scraggy fur.
Blessed If l don't like him, after
all, remarked Sparrow one day, as
the Cub turned disdainfully from a
piece of timed army salmon. He

woodsman, "he won't be no cat-he'H
be a bar. When he gets big enough
about the body to fit them paws, it'll
be about the time I'd rather see him
take to the woods"
Sparrow held out his forefinger, and
the Cub closed his white teeth about
it lovingly.
"They don't like ye, Cub" he said,
affectionately, "cause ye snofe when

looked patronizingly at his friend.

The rainy season was coming on
and there was unrest in the air. Moth
ing had occurred f5r weeks to disturb
the soul killing monotony of 6a1ly
guard mount and drill. 1t is such 4n
existence that drives men to drink.
The mess call had been sounded and
the men gathered about their mess
tins on the broad patio ground, pre-
ferring the open air to the mess room.
AS usual, they were jollying one an
other, bandying names that would
have sent the blood Of anger to the
cheeks of men who live gentle lives.
The sun was lowering into the fluffy
tops of bamboo thicket beyond the
houses on the other side of the plaza.

The men could see the big, blue
shirted figure come swinging across
the plaza, his campaign hat showed
back from the handsome, red flushed
face. Sparrow came heavily up the
gravel walk. and his sandy mustache
drooped with sinister significance.

The corporal reappeared, his gun in it's

less lips apart. His eyes were unnat-
urally brilliant. He quickly glided
down the trail toward the village, into
the first street, into the plaza, across
to the barracks. He found Buck Tay-
lor oiling his gun in the shade of the
belfry tower.

from Tennessee. Looks though you'd

I've got something to tell ye that'n

The corporal dropped beside Buck
Taylor, and as he spoke rapidly in a
low whisper, the others face turned
as white as his companions. Then
there came a sharp snap of his jaw, the
two men rose, and walked toward the
barracks. They met the Californian
on the veranda.
1t was still two hours before dusk
when three men left the town and
struck the trail up the mountain
three stalwart sons of pioneers, who
knew a trail in a tropical jungle as
we'll as in an American forest. For
half an hour they pushed on in single
file, the MOntanan leading, their heavy
army shoes as nOiseleSs as the bare
foot tread of natives. Each man had
his krag Slung through the crook OF
his left arm, as hunters, not soldiers,
carry guns. Finally, they reached a
ravine which led squarely into the
mountain side The foliage was so
thick that it hid the light above. Ahead
was solid rock.
"Yere's. where I saw him." whis-
pered the corporal. There's a hole
straight ahead"
A black cavity in the rock appeared
above the thick undergrush. They rose
cautiously and looked. At the mouth
of the cave sat a man, bending over a
small fire, giving forth hardly any

yards, which lasts me to the finish The
breathing must be done through the
mouth, as it reaches the lungs quicker
Never entirely empty your lungs. The
minute you do you collapse and lose
your speed.
A beginner should practice breathing
daily according to these rules and
should expand the chest and lungs
by the chest weights.
The Use of the Arms.
The arms should be developed as
well as the legs, as they play an i'm
portant part in sprinting
On rising from the start clinch your
fists. Bring the left arm diagOnally
across the chest as the rear foot is
pushed forward, and each arm is swung
across the body alternately in unison
with the stride This cross motion OF
the arms, / have found, proves great
help to maintaining the bounding
stride" Great care should be taken
when practicing this motion that the
arms are not swung too far out or the
assistance win be nullified
The body should be carried at an in
cline forward of about 80 degrees Many
a race is lost by a man carrying his
body upright and rigid, both of which
retard the speed
In conclusion, / would lay down the
following rules: Let the diet be plain
Dispense with pastries, candies and
above ALL never smoke or drink alco-
holic liquids when training. You VIII
be better without the two latter at all
times. Cigarettes are fatal TO athletes.
Battle daily and always use rough tow
els after a bath and after taking any
exercise. Never oyer-exert yourself
and exhaust all your strength in any
trial Always finish your training with
something left in you" Only work
the hardest in the race itself.
BY practicing the above methods and
persisting in them until they are en-
tirely mastered you will gain strength
and increase your speed to degree be-
yond your expectations. Finally, let
me impress on all aspiring athletes the
fact that rigidness in training and
steady perseverance are as essential as
the bulldog determination necessary to
land you winner at the tape.

Meanwhile. the Cub had also disap-
peared, and natives came in with
stories of seeing wild beast in the
jungle that reSembled a eat but was
twice that size, and it preyed on
chickens and ducks, and had even car
ried off a young goat. Some said that
the creature was as large as wolf,
and as the weeks went by these stories
became more numerous.
One day, a pink -eyed, faXen haired
naturalist came up from Vigan with a
letter from Gen. Young and a desire
to study the country. 1t was he who
announced the startling fact that he
had discovered new species of pam
ther, whose fur was red and yellow.
He offered a reward of fifty dollars to
whosoever would bring him in speci-
men.
Seven weeks had passed since Spar
rows last jamboree, and the affair was
beginning to be dropped from daily
mess conversation, when one afternoon
the Montana corporal took stroll out
.into the nearby jungle, and fell asleep
under a big mango tree; and he thought
he dreamed a strange dream.
Over his head, on limb, appeared
a big creature, and it had the body Of
a tiger, but the head of a man. And
the head leered and grinned and winked
a huge green eye, and from it's mouth
protruded long, yellow fangs Then
the face changed and the corporal
struggled spasmodically to scream, for
the face was the living image Of
George Sparrow's. With a yell the
soldier sat up. A reddish object shot
from limb to the ground-a huge,
gaunt cat, with a birds wings flut-
tering from it's whiskered jowls. 1t
bounded off into a thicket. In a sec
ond the corporal was after it, his re-
vOlver drawn, ready for use. And the
thicket of tropical foliage closed over
him, too, as it had done with the cat.
Ten minutes passed, then twenty.

alone, whether your opponent is ahead
or behind you.
After leaving the mark try to acquire
a bounding step, similar to a rubber
ball, and stride we'll from hips, which
gives you the advantage Of longer
stride While I'm barely five feet seven
inches in height, l take a stride in rae
ing of nine feet, as big as that taken
by Bernie Wefers, the former cham
pion. who is six feet one inch. On
nearing the tape, say about ten feet
away, the runner should pull himself
together with all the force that he can
command.
Put out every effort, wherever your
opponent may be, and fall forward, or
practically throw yourself bodily on the
tape at the finishing line. This will
gain you many inches and win you
many a race.
of course the start, the stride, the
squirt and the finish must all be prac-
ticed separately, a good squirt and fin
ish being fully as essential as a good
start, which, as l have before said, is
half the race.
Mode Of Breathing important.
TO become a good sprinter you must
master the art of breathing. AS the
runner approaches the mark at the

Your whole attention should be con-
centrated on listening for the pistol

erything else. At the crack of the gun
force the air from the lungs by a quick
ejaculation or grunt. This helps your
start just as a pugilist adds force to
his blow by grunting- as he drives it
home Catch another deep breath with
a gasp instantly. which will be in your
second stride, and hold that breath un-
til the tape is reached lin fifty or

tarily gasp it out as you reach the tape.

NY OBODY will deny that Private
George Sparrow was a drunken
beast. Send a man to the Phil
fppines who has a natural taste for
fire waters and you send him to his
finish. Not that the Filipinos will
teach him drunkenness-you never see
them drunk-but they distill the juice
of the nipa palm and call it vino. They
only sip this beverage, but it is not
given that the descendants of the old
beer drinking Saxons and Danes shall
sip. Not when the fighting blood of
their ancestors has been made hot
| within them by a years active war.
Thus it was that in those days, there
being no beer in San Ramon, the men
of Company c, which took and gar
risoned the town, drank vino not from
!. the thimble sized glasses of the natives,
! but from tumblers and cocoanut shells,
: and the natives looked on in wonder
and said ''malo." And the most in
!. temperate of them all was George
Sparrow, who put his mouth straight
: to the'neck of the bottle, and could en-
PITY q. quarter at one swallow.
This was the worst that could be
said of George Sparrow. When he let
drink alone there was not a better
soldier nor finer comrade in all the
army. He had a splendid record pre-
ViOus to the cOmpany's coming to the
small mountain town of San Ramon,
and that was why the post commander
overlooked as much as he possibly
could.
I on one of7~his periodical jamborees
Sparrow disappeared for three days.
Then they heard that's he had been
found by patrol down in TIgan, C+r
the coast. He was walking up the
main street when they discovered him,
swinging his right arm, with an imag-
mary saber I'm his hand, and yelling,
at the top of his lungs, a challenge to
all the insurgent armies then In Lu-
zon to come out and see what he could
do single handed. A crowd of admir-
ing and awe-inspired native boys fol-
lowed. In his left arm, against his
side, he carried a kitten-a red and
yellow striped, bob-tailed kitten.
Sparrow was taken up to San Ramon
under guard, but they could not get
the red and yellow kitten away from
him, Where he had found the animal

playfully at his feet.

Another yell. and they saw him level
his piece. The men broke for quar-
ters, but not before one had fallen al
most over the dead Tennessean. Soon
they were opening a fussillade on the
belfry tower, but the madman sheltered
himself Skillfully. Darkness came on
and the shooting ceased.
The captain appeared and posted
guards at various points around the
belfry, with orders not to fire unless
Sparrow tried to escape. Then he de-
tailed four men to remove the dead.
They moved cautiously out into the
patio. BY the starlight they could see
the body of Rob Taylor, even the dark
pool beside him.
whats that?" gasped one OF the
detail.
my God! the cat!-Kill tits his!"
A gun stock came down like a club.
There was a fierce yOwl, a hiss and
the creature shot up and out into the
darkness. The men, quivering with
terror, carried in their fallen comrades.
Then began the watch, with an oc-
casional shot from the tower. Through
the darkness they heard Sparrow raw
ing, sailing them all, from the captain
down, sons of things unclean, and he
. challenged all men who wore blue or
khaki to mortal combat and said things
that made strong men shudder.
At about midnight the captain was
called out by the rattle of renewed fir
ing
"Sparrow's gone" reported the first
lieutenant. Made a break-shot Cor
poral Walcott badly-and got away in

This was true. When daylight came
the belfry was empty, the door wide
open The murderer had escaped,
leaving three victims behind, two dead
and one wounded. Later in the day a
native came in and reported having
seen the fugitive making for the pass,
and evidently wounded, for his clothes
were bloody. Men who had trailed red
Indians failed to find Sparrow-the
Jungle swallowed him up.
A reward was offered for him, dead
or alive. A week later two natives
brought in an object in sack and col
lected the reward. Private Sparrow,
Of Company c, was officially reported
dead.

easy pace, keeping this UP for two or
three weeks, and always taking a good
rub down when you return home. Al
ter this preliminary work in the NOR
ming take a rest, and during the day
use chest weights or dumb bells for
developing the arm, chest and should
er muscles.
AS in running, begin these exercises
gently, gradually increasing the vio
lence and length of duration when you
find YOU can do so without fatigue.
Never overtire yourself in any way.
Take a brisk walk before going to bed
and retire early.
After a course of about three weeks
as given above you will find your mus
cles developed, your lungs in good con-
dition and your body generally so
evenly developed that you will be in
proper shape for training.
Live and Train Regularly.
Having gotten your body in good
condition to undergo a strict and rigor-
Gus course, begin by running sprints OF
fifty or sixty yards a week, running
the distance about five times at al
most your top speed.
The afternoon is the best time for
this. and here 1 may say that l have
always tried to do my training as
near the hour at which my race is to
be run as possible The reason for
this is that if regular life is led
your body will not have had longer
or shorter time in action than if the
training is done at the regular time,
when you toe the mark on the day of
the race.
The Art of Starting.
After week of these bursts of speed
the art of starting may be taken up.
On the start depends the race. and
starting is the most difficult part of
sprinting for the beginner to master.
The old method of an upright. stand
ing start has gone out Of date. The
proper method Of starting Is the
'crouching" start.
