The girl looked at her father mute

borne a high name on the gridiron, in

To-night-after dinner, Olney was

unconquerable.
Alas, this joyful dream had faded.
Surprise was planned for Stewart Shir-

Well, the girl knew her fathers mood
after alosing game in which he had
been interested in the losers. On such
occasions he never agreed to any.

be blunt and unsparing. To give his

The quaint custom of hunting the

at Chard.
The custom has been discarded for
the last forty years, but in the old

hunt The Manor lands in the morning,
and the first hare killed was sent
back to the chief hotel for the dinner

1t is said that another feature of
the dinner was an enormous bowl of
punch, the contents of which would

Harvard's Young Medical Dean.

Ayear ago Henry Asbury Christian,
who is now only thirty-one years old,
was mere assistant in the theory
and practice of medicine at the Har-
ward medical school, and three weeks
ago he began his work as dean of this
same school. What is more, he is a
regular professor, giving courses of
instruction. He is very busy man
these days, and is taking hold of the
many sides of his new work with eli
thusiasm bordering on avidity. Har.
ward often pushes forward an able
young man, and already this one is
showing his worth.

had air. lay rejected him made him al
most awkward in her presence.
1 At lunch he was not little sur
prised to see the change that had
| come over his mothers manner. To
Marion, as Miss West, she had been
coldly polite. To Marion, as the niece
of the marnuess Of Fowey, she was
A most ELUSIVE in her attentions
He was relieved to find that he had

Fly room for a word. Mrs. Mawgan
monopolized Marion and MI Jackson
had no eyes and very little speech
for any one but Esther.
| After lunch Mr.. Jackson proposed a
motor ride, which Marion hailed with
| pleasure. 1t was a new experience
to her-a new form of entertainment
and she was glad to make the most
OF her opportunity.
Clement could not join the party, as
he had to give evidence at the inquest.
Hence, when the car left the gate, he
turned his face in the other direction.
When he had given his evidence he
trudged up to Rownsltilly and spent
couple Of hours with Grayton, re-
turning to Mawgan Chase just in time
for dinner.
After dinner over their cigars and
coffee, he suggested to Mr.. Jackson
that he should return to his duties the
following morning and to this propo
sition Mr.. Jackson raised no objection
So it came about that Clement saw
less of Marion than almost any of the
others. From some points of view he
was not altogether sorry Much as he
loved to be in her company he knew
that only pain and disappointment lay
that way. If he was to conquer his
passion, the less he saw of her the
better.
Marion looked a little surprised
when he announced in the drawing
room that he was starting for London
next morning, but very little was said.
Esther was perpleXed exceedingly,
though she was wise enough to keep
her thoughts to herself. That there
was no cordially between her brother
and Marion was patent to everybody
who took the trouble to look but what
the shadow was that had fallen be-
tween them she was unable to dis
cover.

that she should stay nowhere but at
the Chase Marion, in truth, was
nothing loath. She loved the place,
had loved it from the first, and, since
both Mrs. Mawgan and Esther were
SO delightfully."- kind and there would
be no complications or misunderstood
ings on Clements account, she fell I'M
to the arrangement with heart full
of thanksgiving.
Clement drove away next morning
with very mingled feelings. S8When he

THE LEFT
GUARDS PASS
A STORY OF A FOOTBALL GAME
By ELLIOT WALKER
}s2i282&&&&28&&2&

=. -
AS the men walked back to their po-
sitions after the score was tied, Olney
Newbert felt Capt. HartIand's fingers
grab his arm fiercely
The stalwart left guard turned with
scowl, viciously slapping his left
leg.
I'm good to stop any ball or to
tackle any man that comes my way,
but l doubt if l can run ten yards to
save my SOUL" he growled. "Do you
suppose they are on to my weak point,
Harty?" Hartland rubbed his nose
guard with a thoughtful thumb.
They're onto about everything"
grunted he. "I-don't-know. 1t does
seem as Il they try to put the ball in
your hands and to leave you an open

you pass it to DAVE"
Dave knows" blurted the other
Il told him 1 feared my blamed leg

you would put me off,
Il can't retire you, Olney. l haven't

go over any of 'em like an automo-
bile You're the only man who can
down him" t"N
Hartland was almost crying with
anxiety. A tied score, only few min
utes to play, three of his regulars on
the wounded list, and now Olney New
bert, his steady old standby, his prize
grappler, who never missed a tackle,
and who could strike gait which few
cared to follow, and fewer to stop; he
to be half crippled at this critical, ag-
onizing time-it was too bad.
Newbert stood still for a few mo-
ments then limped about, gingerly
rubbing his leg. His big padded
shoulders shrugged as if he was in
pain. Ia
And over on the grand stand a white
mustache bent petulantly to a small
pink ear.
"Olney Newbert is making a fool Of
himself, my dear"
oh! father, don't say that He is
hurt"
Stuff! He's well enough to stay in
the game. Else he would be out of it.
