mad to the church, and back into
blither old Christmases when he had
toiled robustly, with his. assistant high
up in the crazy tower, and they had
kept the three bells swinging and
pealing joyously from eight o'clock TIL
midnight, with short rests between
whiles, and one long rest when steam
ing hot coffee and toast had been car
ried up the narrow, steep stairs to
them by a homely, CHEEKY little wom-
an, who was his wife, and merry
eyed, winsome maid, who was their
daughter Alice.
But that had happened for the last
time-how m;ny Christmases ago?
Why, already eight winters had
showed over that mound in the church
yard. And this was the fourth year
since Alice had deserted him in his
loneliness, and he had set himself to
forget her.
He had not forgotten yet, though;
nor forgiven her.
| In defiance of his imperative be-
hests, she had married the ne'er-do-
weel son of tradesman in the town
yonder, and they had gone away to
London. She had written to him thrice,
but he burned her first letter and re-
turned the others unopened, and, if
he had not forgotten her, her name
was never on his lips.
At length, a few months ago, the
village heard that her husband was
dead. She had written to a neighbor
saying she and her baby we're desti-
tute, and begging that she would in
tercede and ask her father to forgive
her and let her come home.
But Bargle, mindful of lis dignity,
hardened himself. and, resenting this
:ntercession as an impertinence, curt.
ly advised the peacemaker rot to med
die in his business again; hot words

I'VE hold that the French cable case and

favor revolutionists here. Their cases
were not submitted to the mixed commits

holds good. Although the players and
practically all who followed the de-
Velopment of the team want DR.. Reilly
retained. their feelings and suggestions
are not being acted upon, but, it is I'M
derstood, the other authorities, who do
not take an active part in athletics, are
to name the coach and arrange the

against their wishes.
Players Want Graduates.
This is a peculiar state of affairs, and
it is to be hoped that the unusual pro
eeeding win be blocked before another
coach is named and Georgetown's pros
poets, at present so roseate, are to be
shattered by putting some outsider over
players who do not want him, and by
breaking up the graduate coaching plan

Ever since the election of Captain Nc
Gettigan followers of Georgetown's
football interests have patiently awaited
the announcement of the coach fer next
fall
Now comes the report that certain
athletic authorities on the Heights have
practically outlined the policy for next
year and have decided upon on out
slider as coach. II these reports, which
have been afieat, are true it means that
the graduate system OF coaching which
was one of the fondsst hopes OF George
and Dr.. Reilly. the most successful
coach who ever had charge of q Blue
and Gray eleven. is to be dropped.
What Prompted Move?
If such rhmors have any foundation
whatever it is indeed hard to conceive
what has ever prompted the authorities
TO consider such a move.
The graduate coaching system was
adopted after years of consideration and
two seasons ago it was thought that the
time was ripe for its Inauguration and
It was put into effect. In Its hrst season
the organization was poor, and because
OF the number of coaches without any
definite head the success which attended
liz in its first trial was not as great as
1t would have been otherwise.
Last Season Best.
Last fall DR. Reilly was put in charge,
and name his assistants, with the result
that his team made the most enviable
record in the annals. of Georgetown foot
leall. and finished the season with the
proud distinction Of having its goal
crossed but once. and that early IN Oe-
tober. at Princeton. Holy Cross, North

stitutions went down in defeat before

Against these indisputable facts in
favor of Il retention OF the system and
against practically the unanimous favor
OF the football men themselves, is pitted

reason or another feel that q change is
necessary. Some one who has q repu-

much hoped for and highly successful
graduate coaching system is to be abol-

have the captain. after consulting with

and have the nominees name passed
upon by the athletic committee. If there
is any strong reason why the coach
