After spelling a round or two to let
them get theirwind and overcome their
fright, the contest opened In earnest.
Some of them dropped out without any
seeming effort. According 10 The Non
pareil's report detrimental claimed
four victims; "metabolism' lloored
three; omnivorous destroyed the
hopes of four; "mineralogist" proved
disastrous To twelve. metallurgy"
was the doom of fifteen, and when
Henry Mammen spelled 1t correctly a
great roar OF applause went up from
the audience. 1t was evident that the
spoilers were becoming confused and
those who remained breathed easier at
Master Mammen's feat. However mol
lusk " caused nine spoilers to come To
grief, leaving just four stalwarts In
the race. These were Mammen, Miss
Frohardt, Miss Dorthea Langenfeldt
and Miss Gladys Clifford.
Everyone sat down on stalactite "
and the judges ruled that the effort
was ate, permitting all to stand again
for another try, Mastodon and
papillae" were the next words and
Henry Mammen and Miss Langenfeldt
were downed by crystalline, Miss
Frohardt spelled the word correctly
and was declared the winner of tho
contest.

seemed to be the right one.
At last a woman % years old,
stopped in front OF him. She
was dressed in white from head to

Cam became more than
ever. The girl, however, was
perfectly composed. Hesitatingly
she stepped up to him and was
heard to ask;
"Aren't you Mr.. McCann9 l ihave

that you would come. You
look just like 1 thought you would
from the letters you wrote"
Then she gave a contented
sigh. Mr.. McCann did not make a
