drowneu IN the hearty cheers which
hailed the English goal.
But the victory wes not won yet.
There we're ten minutes left for the
Sootehmep to recover this blow, or
for the Bhslishmen to improve upon
1t. The Northerners played so furi-
ously that the ball was kept down
near the English goal, which was only
saved by the splendid defensive play
Of their backs. Five minutes passed,
and. the Scots in turn were being
pressed back A series of brilliant
runs by Butler, Jackson and Evans
took the fight into the enemy's coun-
try, and kept 1t there. 1t seemed
as if the visitors meant scoring again,
when sudden change occurred in the
state of affairs II was but minutes
of the calling of time when Tookey,
one Of the Scotch quarter-bacis, got
hold of the ball, and made a magnifi-
cent run, passing right through the
opposing forwards and quarters. He
was collarsd by Evans, but immedi-
ately threw the ball behind him.
Dimsdale had followed up the quar-
ter-back and caught the ball when it
was thrown backwards. Now or new
! er! The lad felt that he would sac
rifice anything to pass the three men
who stood between him and the En-
glish goal. He passed Evans like
the wind before the half-back could
disentagle himself from Tookey. There
were but two now to oppose him.
| The first was the other English half
back, broad shouldered powerful
fellow, who rushed at him, but Tom,
without attempting to avoid jhtm,
| lowered his head and drove at him
| full tilt with such violence that both
men reeled back from the collision.
! Dimsdale recovered himself first, how
ever, and got past before the other
had time to seize him. The goal was
now not more than twenty yards off,
with only one between Tom and It,
though half a dozen more were In
close pursuit. The English back
caught him round the waist, while
another from behind seized the collar
Of his jersey, and the three came
heavily to the ground together. But
the deed was done. In the very act
of falling he had managed to kick the
ball, which flickered feebly UP into
the air and just cleared the English
bar. 1T had scarcely touched the
ground upon the other side when the
ringing Of the great bell announced
the termination of the match, though
its sound was entirely drowned by the
tumultuous shouting of the crowd. A
thousand hats were thrown into the
air, ten thousand voices Joined in
the roar, and meanwhile the cause
of all this outcry was still sitting on
the ground smiling, It is true, but
| very pale, and with one of his arms
dangling uselessly from his shoulder.
Well, the breaking Of collar bone
is a small price to pay for the saving
of such a match as that. So thought
pavilion with his father keeping off
the excultant crowd upon one side
and Jack Garraway upon the other
The doctor butted path through the
dense half-crazy mob with a vigol
which showed that his sons talents IL
that direction were hereditary. With
in half an hour Tom was safely es
conced in the corner of the carriage
with his shoulder braced back, Sc
cundum artem, and his arm supported
by a sling. How quietly and deity
the two women slipped a shawl here
and rug there to save him from thu
jarring OF the carriage. 1t is part o.
the angel nature Of women that wher
youth and strength are manned anc
helpless they appeal to her more thar
hey can ever do in the pride and flush
)f their power. Here lies the compen
alton of the unfortunate Kate's
