The armory court in Hackensack is a
beauty, but the floor, kept polished

boys played by far the better game.
The antics of the players on the
smooth floor were ludicrous. Quite a
party went over to see the game. The

Basket Ball

shake, the Palisade Athletic Club
wound up its January playing by tax
ing the scalp of the well-seasoned En-
glewood Basket Ball team on Satur
day the goth There was a goodly
turnout Of loyal Palisade fans, and
the fact that it was home victory
made the party return home III gleetul
mood AS basket ball goes, the game
was full of thrills, and also full Of
holes. The Palisade boys played the
game; Englewood could have added
to its fame by doing liHewise-only
the players, at least some of them,
chose to rough-house in a manner that
was painful at times. AS a game
played on its merits, where skill
counts, and where knowledge of the
rules is all important, basket ball
may be played as is a game of bill
lizards, filled with fnesse, delicacy OF
touch, speed, accuracy, activity, STRAIT
egy All Of these things may enter
into basket ball. 1t is, withal, very
"heady" game, where ones sharp eye
and keen wit may match themselves
against the other fellows, and the
best work wins. Measure for mea-
sure, man for man, the Englewood
team outranks Palisades. They are
all big, muscular young men, who
have played long years together, and
they should win most of the time.
Against them were pitted boys from
seventeen to nineteen, who have
played on High School teams, and
who have the agility of young Loop

activity and lodging skill Of a bull

him before he passes it to friendly
hands has to be chained lightning.
He played his game like Neither,
the bewildering forward of the Co
lumbias, and passed up individual
scoring to the credit of his team,
Edgar never played better. Berney
Brady got his stride to the full and
was at his best He detected most
of the centre throw-ups, and beat his
tall adversary, Childs, to a standstill.
Then Dennison Grant, a modest boy
in the main, went at the game as
though he were a player bred to the
bone. and added to his record by
shooting the winning goal, for which
he was patted on the back more times
than enough. Ray Dwiggins, just re-
covering from an illness, proved him
self a nifty little guard who covered
his man on every inch OF the moor,
and played his very best to win. He
added much to the general result.
With two fast games within "A hours,
with the Barnard team in New York,
both victories, Charles Logan played
a cool, collected forward and Olsen
tangled himself from his aggressive
opponent, Jamison, with his usual
vim He shot five goals, but it could
be seen that he played a guarded
game, for he was scarcely equal to his
best from fatigue.
The game itself was full of interest
from start to finish. The Englewood
team had had taste of defeat from
the P A. c. boys December 70 last
and were anxious to wipe out the
stain, hence they played like demons
and might have had more regard for
the rules. In the first half the score
was II to 4 in favor of Palisade. In
the second half the EnglewoOd evened
things up and tied the score at 20

= HE wakened in the morning to
some one knocking. She thought
the sound had been going on for
a long, time, but, now she was finally
reused, it had stopped. This vas
odd, for no one came to her in the
morning except Marrika, and it was
tiresome to be thus i~mperatively beset
before she was half awake. Now the
knocking came again with a level, UNI
impatient repetition, n she called,
Come in.' at which Clara, in a pale
morning gown, promptly entered-an
apparition as cool and smooth and bur-
nished as if she had spent the night,
ike a French doll, in tissue paper.
Clara's coming in in the morning was
an unheard-of thing. Flora was taken
aback.
"Why, Clara.' She was blank with
establishment. She sat up, flushed and
tumbled, and still blinking. II hope
1 didn't keep you knocking long"
"Oh, no, indeed; only three taps"
Clara looked straight through Flora's
establishment. as if there had been no
such thing in evidence. She drew up
a chair and sat down beside the bed.
1t was a r~ocking-chair, but it did not
sway with calm poise.

YUST when the two ideas had coal
esced in her mind Flora couldn't
be sure. 1t had been some time
in the first dark hour that she had
spent wide awake in her bed. There
had been two ideas distinctly. Two
impressions of the evening remained
with her; and the last one, the great
figures that had stared at her from
the paper, the fact that had been
Harry's secret, made common now in
round numbers, had for the moment
swallowed up the first.
The DON was dark except for now
and again the yellow squar of light,
from some passing cable car, travelling
along the ceiling. The four walls
around her, their dark bulks of furni-
ture and light ripple of moving cur
tains, shut her up with this mon
ster of her mind The longer she
looked at it the less she felt sure it was
real, and yet 1t was before her. 1t was
there with none of the loneliness of her
first fancies about the ring. 1t WAS
there with grisly reality. 1t had not
