"Roblev." interrupted Mrs. Van Kirk,

Thurley and Mrs. Van Kirk exchanged
conventional mur1nur.
Broken your wrist" said the latter in
genuine sympathy, but studying Thurley
with penetrative eyes. Dear mel That IS

Thanks, no." he interrupted blandly.
" But | trust my excuse is valid for tonight y
Mrs. Van Kirk hardly heard what he said,
so intent was her inspection OF the girl at
Stuvverant' s side. Never in her life, she felt,
had she seen young woman more beautiful
more abounding in possibilities, more deslr-
able as an asset-a magnet for a Ifeless
drawing room. She was busily wondering
who and what she could be, what relation
ship she bore to Stuyverant, and where Ie
could possibly have found her. The party
of the evening had slipped from her mind for
the moment.
Your excuse?" she echoed. Valid? In
deed it is! My poor dear boy, it's cruel OF me
to keep you here waiting like thisi But at

Goodby. III expect you soon:
She nodded and smiled at Thurley quite
as much as at Robley Stuyverant. Then
once again her landau rolled along to the
iingling of silver on the trappings. The car
with Thurley at the wheel proceeded on its
way.

WASEDA'S OFF
FOR RAINY CITY

The Waseda baseball team left to-
day for Hilo and Wa7iuKu, and before
their return will play six games with
the best teams on Maui and Hawaii.
While in Hilo the Japanese players
will be entertained by their fellow
countrymen who will see that they are
well taken care of.
According to present plans the
team will play with the Marines on
August 20 and will sail for home on
the Tenyo Maru on the twenty-third.
The Hilo team that will play the visit
ors is one of the strongest that has
ever represented the "rainy city," and
if the college men want to win the
series they will have to play much bet
ter ball than they have played here in
the last few games.

FOREST VS. EVANS
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

ice Forrest, champion roller skater
of Hawaii, and Rex L. Evans, will
race at the Princess rink on Saturday
night in mile race for a S1OO purse
and the championship of Hawaii.
According to Evans friends, Cutter,
one of the fastest skaters on the Pa
cific Coast, was badly defeated by
Evans a short time ago. Forrest has
beaten Cutter, so the race on Satur-
day should be a good one to watch as
both men are anxious to annex the

Richard played his usual back court
game, his service and back hand
strokes being much better than
in his previous matches this year.
Cooke played a steady game through
out, but was entirely outclassed by his
young opponent.
On account of having an important
engagement, Theodore Richards was
obliged to default to Cooke in the
semi-finals
The next tournament for the Wall
cup will probably be played some time
in October.
