Of fourteen and the face Of twenty. The
clothes, baggy and torn, were for the
older age; the trousers were rolled up
six years at the bottom. The face was
wrinkled in a scowl, and the eyes
cleaned defiantly. The youngster was

was turned up and that the coat was

| white line. He stepped forward, and

had guessed-nothing but a mere rag
of an undershirt that left the chest

. CAPITAL BOWLERS
LINEUP ARRANGED
Fat Men and Bureau Teams
Paired for St. Louis
Tournament.
WASHINGTON MEN
BOWL ON JAN. 81
Chicago and Cincinnati May Be
Visited on Return of
Teams.

On January 18th the bowling team
from the Bureau of Engraving, and the
team from the Jolly Fat Mems Club,
are going to st. Louis to participate
in the big tournament which is to be
held there January 81 and February 1.
Just because the team from the Fat
Mems Club is going is no reason for the
st. Louis fellows to get busy and make
a reinforced concrete alley especially for
them to bowl on. They are not that
kind of fat men 1t is hard to discover
where they copped that name, unless
II originated in the fact that they bowl
fat scores.
The five-men teams bowl on January
81. and the singles and doubles on Feb
ruary l. Since there are some $50 prizes
hung up, aggregating about $4,000, there
is reason to expect that names of the
Washington boys will appear somewhere
else than in the Also Bowled."
Teams from all over the United States
will take part, there being AL five-men
teams TO join in. Each team takes at
least one substitute. said substitute be-
ing declared in on the doubles and in
dividuals.
The Bureau team will roll in this or
der: Land (captain). Donohue. Jones,
Lord. Hardie, MiIovitch (substitute).
The doubles will be Land and Jones,
Milovitch and Donohue, Lord and Har-
die
The Avoirdupois lads from the Obese
club will line Up as follows: Waters

Rodrick substitute).
They will nair thuswise. Erosnan and
Field. Rodrick and Fritz, Waters and
Krauss.
On the wav back from the Mound
City the Fat Boys will drop off at Chi
cago and roll some matches there. They
may also roll a game or two at either
Cincinnati or indianapolis on the way to

Track Outlook Pleasing
To Blue and Gray Preps

The opportunities for better training
for the preparatory students of George
town are the brightest this year, and
there is considerable elation at the
school over the announcement that
Coach Foley will have charge Of the
preps as well as the collegians.
Golden is rounding into splendid
shape, and he certainly should prove a
strong factor in the sprint and hurdle
events in the interscholastic meet. Nc
Laughlin is showing much promise in
the 440.
When Wilson, the former Central star.
announced his intention of ! eaving
school, the varsity lost one of its most
promising candidates. Mulligan. who
ran the relay last year, is showing de-
cided improvement. His form is much
better than previously. and he is ex-
hibiting increased speed.
Quinlan, sub on last years football
team, has reported for practice, and is
being developed for the quarter mile.

said nothing He walked quietly till
| they sighted a policeman standing on a
corner half a block ahead. Then he
began to drag backward, and David had
fairly to push, him. AS they. came up
to the officer David glanced down, and

farther on the boy led David for the

Synopsis of Chapters Already Published

Rev. Philip Morton. head of st; Chris
topher's Mission in New York, is found
dead and his friend, David Aldrich, IS
summoned to take charge OF his personal
affairs. From the dead mans private pa
pers David discovers that Morton, TO
silence a blackmaIling woman. Lillian
Drew. has taken 5000 from a charity
fund. and that his death was probably
suicide.
The revelation of Morton's weakness
would be likely to undo his work in build
ing St. Christophers into power for
good. so David determines TO keep the
defalcation secret at any cost. He forces
Lillian Drew to surrender a package OIL
letters from Morton. and then frighttens

disclose Morton's secret. he declares that
he himself took the money.

his release he rents room near 81.

ables David, unrecognized TO learn that
his sacrifice has not been in vain, so far

Chambers is still unmarried. He meets
strange neighbors-drunkeE old Jimmy
Morgan and his curiously keen daughter,
Kate, who calls on David and worms out
of him the fact that he has been In
prison. She evidently thinks no less OF
him because Of his supposed criminal
career.
After many discouragements David Sc
cures a humble position in small de-
partment store. Kate Morgan, in the
meantime, reveals TO him that she herSen
is a professional thief She laughs at his
avowals that he intends to live honestly,
and even invites him to Join her in a

refuses to pay over the wages due the

By Failure of V.P.I. Game

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Jan. a.
The students here are much disappoint-

fusing to permit the Virginia Polytech-

The reasons given out nv the faculty
are based mainly upon a desire to pre-
vent partisanship feeling between the

action upon the belief that such a game
would arouse intense feeling, which
would be detrimental to the schools.

CATARRH !
AsYsTEMlC BLOOD DISEASE

Catarrh is not merely an affection
Of the mucous membranes; it b a
deep-seated blood disease iu which
the entire circulation and greater
part of the system are involved. It
is more commonly manifested in the
head, nose and throat, because ofthe
sensitive nature of these membranes,
and also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
Itarrh, such as tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, throat
Iclogged and dry, hacking cough,
etc, show that the tiny blood vessels
Iof the mucous membranes are badly
lcongested and inhamed from the I'M
purities in the circulation. To cure
Catarrh permanently the blood must
be purified and the system cleansed
of all unhealthy matter. Nothing
equals S. S. S. for this purpose. It
attacks the disease at its head, goes
down to the bottom of the trouble and
