Meet a success.

The annual indoor field and track
games of the National Guard last night
proved to be the most successful ath-
lettc affair I have ever seen conducted
in the Center Market armory.
The list of entries contained by far
the best set of athletes that had ever
competed in the militiamen's meet, and
so we'll did the officials do their work
that there was no hitch.
When the original plans were an
nounced there were many who believed
that 1t would prove too large an under
taking. but so well did Captain Edwards
and his co-workers arrange every de-
tail that the games set high mark In
National Guard athletic endeavors.

Signals.

There were a good many days after
that-not days at all. really. but an in
terminable period Of night-whioh
were broken for Jeanne by no ray OF
hope whatever. She kept Philip and
herself alive. from day to day. and this
occupation left her hardly time enough
to think whether there was anything
to hope for or not
Much of the time Philip was deliri-
Gus; sometimes violently so. and yet
she often had to leave him. When she
did 80, 1t was with no certainty at all
that she would fnd him alive upon her
return.
At last the conviction was forced
upon her that Philip was actually on
the road to recovery. His delirium be-
came less violent and occurred at long
er intervals. The ;rightful condition
Of his wounds began visibly to i'm
prove. Instinctively she resisted this
conviction as long as she could. refus-
ing almost passionately to begin to
hope-for the return of hope brought
an almost intolerable pain with 1t.
Without hope there had been no fear,
no apprehension-just as in frozen
limb there is no pain. But. as the pos
sibility of his recovery became plain
Or. the slenderness OF the thread by
which his life was banging became
palmer. too. A thousand chances
which she could not guard against
might cut the thread and destroy the
hope newborn.
He was able. at last. after long

tanning food-which she hardly dared
give him-to get up and walk out OF
their shelter to the star-vaulted beach.
Fifty PAGES or SO was all he was equal
to; but at the end OF the little prom
enade he expressed q disinclination to
80 back to the stuffy little shed which
had been the scene OF his long illness.
The clean. wide, boundless air was
bringing back the ssst for life to
him So Jeanne brought out from
the hut a great bundle of furs and
made = nest of them on the beach.
and there he lay back and she sat
down beside him.
