COACH BLOOM AND
 HIS MEN WORK HARD
Pine Bluf High School Football Team Doing Great Practice Work and Team Rounding Up to Pink
 of Condition.

The longest and hardest practice that the High School Football team
 has gone through this season was con- dueted yesterday afternoon by Coach Frank Bloom, assisted by Claud Sparks, of the University of Arkan- sas. For about three hours the squad paced the length of the field, fell on the pigskin. tackled some and studied signals.
 The workout under Coach Bloom Is proving successful. All of his men are getting down to good hard flesh and the first youth who entered the field soft from the idle vacation is now hardened and anxious for the fight. Coach Bloom has a system of making his men fleet of foot and long winded, and is never exhausted in ideas that will prove most bene-
 iieiai to them Ito stand on the line and hear the active coach give orders to his men in mighty tones reminds one of the real college campus. Yesterday afternoon Coach S5loom handed to each candidate on the field about eighteen, list of the signals by which he hopes to win many games
 this season. Eager for a change of the tlresome running and hardening work, the team began at once to learn the signals. These, however, are very simple not having the trick plays, which Coach Bloom will teach to his men before they go into game
 The line up of the team has not been intimated by Coach Bloom so far and it is understood that the candidates
 will not be enlightened of the posi- tions they will take on the team 1ln- til they line up in the firN. game. This will make every man familiar with all positions and greatly assist him in
 realizing how to play the one to which
 he is assigned with success, to other players on the team.
 N At present it is estimated by the officials of the team that when they go into the first game the team will
 average beween 140 and 145 pounds to the man. This will place the team among the heaviest in the state and with all the good teachings of Coach Bloom and a real fighting it for the school there is no reason why the P. B. H. s. should not win championship.
 Two teams are now appearing on the field daily and Monday a meeting of all the players will be held for the purpose of organizing a second team to play against the first team. Coach Frank Bloom will address the entire school Monday morning on athletics, at which time 1t is expected he will
 give out many particulars concern ing the game scheduled for Monday, October 3, with the Fordyce Clary Training School.
 The first game of the season was scheduled for Saturday October 1, but
 for several reasons the game was
 postponed until Monday, October 3, It will play at Forest Park.

 Ralph's. It was your fathers money that started me out there and his back ing that enabled me to develop the mine 1 never heard of his failure and death until three months ago, and then made up my mind to come back east and give his boy the help which he had given to me-"
 He paused. A broad flight of stone steps led down from the white stone bridge over the driveway. Wilfred turned from the walk and led the way down them.
 "I like it here" she said "When. ever am tired over the eternal write ups and have to cross the park l rest here. There are a little iron fountain and a curved Roman seat that looks as if it came from one of Alma-Ta- dema's pictures-you know the kind. Let's rest here."
 the place, and she leaned her head back on the old seat and smiled up at him. He stood beside the fountain, silently lingering the chain of one of the drinking ladies. The late after, noon sunshine shone on his barred head, giving tinge of gold to the short cropped hair.
 She looked at him with 8 quiet, happy satisfaction in her eyes. He was good to look at when one was tired and somewhat lonesome.
 q am going back west next week, " he said at length. You must answer me, Wilfred. Even for Ralph's sake you should not refuse. Instead of this steady grind of work you could send him to college and give him the opportunities his fathers son should have"
 She shook her head.
 Ut may be right for Ralph. You are very kind to him, but what about his fathers very interesting daughterY' He answered her almost roughly. q don't know. She is an independ- ent young person who positively re fuses to accept her opportunities" '"The miner"
 And it's owner"
 "If it were only the owner"
 He could hardly catch the words, but bent over her, crushing her hands in his grasp.
 ''Wilfred, is 1t only the money that stands between, sweetheartY'
 She looked up at him with troubled, telltale eyes.
 "If there was not so much of it."
 ''ThereIl only be half as much after ward. The rest goes to my partner" An old man with q roll of music under his arm and a daffodil stuck in his threadbare lapel descended the white stone steps leisurely, humming a bar or two of ''NIignon" to himself
 ''Now I stand in Beauty's bower,
 Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra-la-la-la-la"--
 He stopped short at sight of two figures in the sunshine beside the fountain and softly went back up the steps to the drive, with smiling lips and retrospective eyes.
 Birds a-mating," he said, in mum bled undertone. God bless them alI!'

 "Oh, don't, Ralph; it's horrible"
 Wilfred walked to the window and looked out at the wind swept park with angry eyes. If I'd known what was in the box I should have sent il back unopened"
 For why?' Ralph laughed, with the joyous practicability of fifteen. "It's fine eating, and you'll have the horns too. The old boys a peach. Wish dad had named me after him. He probably thinks you're a youngster bachelor about nineteen and tickled to death over having real game sent to you. When's he coming?"
 Wilfred glanced at the letter which she had crumpled in her hand over the first shock of surprise.
 ''He says he will have the pleasure of dining with the family on Valen- tines eve and thinks that afterward he will let me show him the town, as he has not been in New York for sev. enteen years"
 ''Whew?' whistled Ralph. "An- tique, isn't hep
 Must be about fifty or sixty" said Wilfred disconsolately q hardly know anything about him. He was fathers godson in the first place and the son of fathers partner who died. So father gave him his first start out west, and when I came along he was my godfather by proxy, and no one ever heard of him afterwarl until I got that letter last week. I had no idea he was coming on."
 There was silence for a few minutes. Ralph stared alternatively from the slender figure in brown at the window to the body of the black tailed buck on the floor.
 Its too bad you aren't a boy, Will" he said, with regretful cheerfulness. 'But as long as you're not you'll have to stand it, and so will MT. Wilfred Norman. Maybe he'll like you just the same"
 ''I don't want him to like me. I don't want to be bothered with him. He'll be sure to fuss and want to or der me around and advise me-"
 Maybe he's rich," ventured Ralph hopefully. Never can tell when fel- low goes west how he will turn out. Better not get sassy''
 "Oh, it isn't that You can't under stand''- She paused vaguely.
 Yes; do, toO," retorted Ralph. You're worried to death for fear he'll come here and find out we're as poor as Jobs turkey"
 "Pm not"
 ''Yes, you are too. And you're afraid the old boy'li- kick up a rumpus be- cause there's just you and nanny and

 Wilfred shook her head resolutely.
 No; I'll see him, and we'll ask him to dinner and thank him for his old dead deer, but that's all. I won't listen to a particle of dictating from him.'
 Valentines eve was clear. It had stormed all day and cleared at night fall.
 Better make a good impression" he cOunseled sagely. '"The old boy may be afflicted with enlargement of the heart and leave us legacy. Anyhow, you don't look so bad, Will, in a shirt waist"
 The electric bell buzzed sharply in the hall, and Ralph bolted for the door. An instant's reconnoitering over the banister and he put his head back for final stage whisper:
 Here he comes, sis. Look pleasant, please"
 Wilfred listened. Some one was ask ing for Mr. WiIfred Gray, and Ralph, the traitor, had said, "Yes, sir" and was ushering him in without explana- tions. She rose at sight of the figure in the doorway, and a wave of embar- rassment swept over her. She had thought of him as fifty, a typical study in iron gray, with disposition to match He was not over thirty-fiYe, tall and fair. with sturdy Saxon fairness and gray eyes that met her own in amaze ment From the hall came the sound of Ralph's swiftly departing footsteps.
 ''I am looking for MT. Wilfred Gray" he said.
 T am Wilfred." She hesitated, try ing to cover her confusion with dig nity. q should have written and told you, but we .thought-I thought-you would not come. and 1t really did not matter"-
