At the kickoff Thornton sent the nirskin seventy yards down the field and then plunged into the game with ferocious energy He determined to redeem himself or perish in the at tempt.
 Rack and forth over the field surged +be teams. while thousands shouted encouragement.
 Neither eleven seemed able to break down the defense of the other until toward the end of the half, when Clinton began to come up the field steadily.
 Thornton, his head clear as bell, was playing at frightful pace. giving Darnall no time to catch its breath after each attack. But thirty yards from the goal line! Darnal braced Itself heroically and stood like a stone wall. .- ....-
 "Onlv one more minute to play!' called the umpire, and the crowds took up the shout
 Thornton realized that in so short time line plunges would be futile. There was only one hope of victory, another drop kick for a goal. While only twenty yards away, the goal posts were off to the left at an oblique angle.
 There was about one chance in dozen of putting the ball between them, but Thornton took 1t. He stood back of the line ready to call the sig" nal, and the Darnall eleven, seeing 1t ho So1y n1HnUQ through and break up the play.
 Then suddenly the quarterback, look ing directly between the goal posts. saw Leta fin the grand stand in an at- titude of breathless expectancy, and he knew more than the game depend ed upon his quickness and skill.
 He stepped back a few yards, and with his eye riveted on the figure in orange he gave the signal in clear sharp tones. Three, double two, elev- en!'
 The ball struck his outstretched hands, and as he dropped it he shot out his right foot. The next second a big Darnall guard leaped over the line and struck Thornton head-on, sending him reeling senseless twenty feet from the spot where he was hit.
 But the big man was half second too late. for Thornton's toe had caught the ball squarely, and it went flying straight as a bullet between the goal posts and up into the grand stand. fall ing almost at Leta's feet!
 A wild, deafening yell of joy broke over the field, but the quarterback did not hear it. Ten minutes later, when he came to, girl was bathing his fore head, and he caught the glow of her bright brown dress. The crowd fell back respectfully.
 Don't worry. Thornton, dear boy" she whispered. II saw you looking at me when you made that wonderful kick. and know now how much I mean to youv'

Divine For rIsn.

An Arab pilot on board an English ship becalmed in the Persian gulf had been amusing himself in diving for oysters, After several attempts his search proved unsuccessful
 ''I will now" said he to the officers of the vessel he was commissioned to convoy. "since cannot gather oysters. dive for and catch fish" .....
 All ridiculed the idea. He went down again, and the officers were astonished to see him after a short time rise to the surface with a small rockflsh in each hand. The Arabs own explana- ton of the feat was that as he seated himself at the bottom the fish came around him and nibbled at his skin. Watching an opportunity, he seized and secured his prey by thrusting his thumb and forefinger into their ex banded gills.
