CHAPTER Viii.

Billery did not die that time. but he
lay for week in the balance. Alexis
suffered good deal from the neces-
sary invasion Of his privacy, and the
discovery of Billery's terrible secret
was all the harder to endure because
In the very nature of things it was
impossible for him to seek any sort of
friendly consolation or advice 1t was
not thing to breathe word about to
any human creature, and whilst
Billery lay under his roof unconscious
his host went almost crazy with ankle
ty and with wonder as to what course
of action he would take when he re-
covered. 1t was quite impossible to
know whether that drunken declara-
ton of his resolve to do his duty and
to make his knowledge common prop
erty would be put in effect or not He
had always been so much Of wealth
ercock that he could be blown this
way or that by any gust of feeling;
but for the time being, at least, Billery
was not amenable to reason, or in a
state to be appealed to. however gent
ly.
II under these conditions Alexis
sometimes found his selfpossession
severely tested, and If at times he al
lowed that fact to be seen, 1t was, per-
haps, hardly to be wondered at. 1t
was evident to most of those who
were close to him at this period of his
trials that he put a grsat restraint
upon himself with regard to Billery.
He was sometimes on the very verge
OF an angry outbreak with Gervase,
who had hitherto found him the least
exacting OF masters, the suavest tenn
pered, and the most easily pleased.
Now that unhappy servitor stole about
his duties with sense of an over
charge of electricity In the air and a
constant expectation of a thunder
storm. There we're two nurses in
waiting on the patient, one attending
by night and one by day, and the alb
ruptness OF Alexiss manner kept them
both In fear. But there was simply
no end to his patience and kindness to
Billery, who, when he began to ap-
proach recovery, was extremely try
ing. He brought him grapes and iellies
and all manner OF comforting and
strengthening things, and he was SO
gentle In the sick room tha.
preferred to encounter him
there rather than elsewhere
But when Billery was well on his
way to convalescence his hosts insta
bility took such a hold upon him that
he would march from the
room In which the invalid sat or
at rest and would ease his
mind by the use Of vigorous language
until he felt that he had let OF steam
enough, and that It was safe for him
to return.

TROUBLE OVER BIG MEET

As a sequel to the double victory of
the Western High School in winning the
one-mile relay interscholastic champion
ship OF the District and the midget 61l-
yard relay for first year boys, at the
nigh school meet at Convention Hall
last Saturday night. it may not COM
pete in the Georgetown games tomorrow
night when they We're expected TO de-
fend their title in a three-cornered race
with Western, Central. and the George
town Preps
Miss Edith Westcott. principal of the
Western School, stated this morning
that her recent action in forbidding the
boys to train, was taken because three
boys in the midget event and two in the
1,2OO-yard relay for first year boys had
run on Saturday night after she had
expressly told them that they should not
compete as representatives of the West
ern school. Under the new eligibility code
which was adopted by the high schools
a few months ago, a boy who is deficient
in one or more studies is ineligible to
represent his school in any athletic
event.
Stopped All Sports.
The three boys on the team. which
Won, had failures ia one OF more studies,
and for that reason Miss WestCott took
the stand she did. which was TO forbid
any OF The boys. even those who were
not Ineligible, to train or otherwise pre-
pare for the Georgetown meet as a pun~
ishment for the disregard of her orders
by the deliHguents- Not only did she put
the ban on track athletics, but also upon
baseball and basketball. which edc}
caused the ones who had not broken the
rules IN any way. to feel that her action
was unjust
The Western principal was upheld in
what she did by Percy NJ Hughes, d-
Sector Of high schools. and said this
morning that her drastic and summary
action was intended To remain in effect
only until she could hear from him Al
ser hearing from him this morning the
han was removed.
Because these boys in question were
Ineligible from the standpoint of the
high school athletic code, ii was thought
for a few days that the other schools
would protest the race. which Western
won. Mike Stewart, however to whom
the informal kick had been made, con-
tended. in Il letter to the Georgetown
principal. that since the meet was run

School Board Il was not in his power
