While the local football team came
home Thursday night with dropping
feathers over the game they lost to
the West Texas Normal team. the
girls basketball team of the Here
ford High School came home with
peacock strut. and we'll they deserved
Il. because they defeated the Normal
team in the evening bv the score OF
IL to ~. Whether or not the defeat
in the afternoon Of the football team
aggravated the case OF drubhing their
opponents in the evening - not
known. yet from the aggressiveness
displayed by the local Young ladies II
would lead one to believe mat while
their gladiators met defeat they pro-
posed TO hold IN their reputation for
the many victories
The basketball game wis very sat
isfactory To the White Face delega-
tlon as the Hereford girls team went
into the game with the intention of
getting revenge. and the revenge was
sweet.
Normal pitched two field baskets
and one basket from foul before the
Hereford team learned the ropes on
the inside Of the courts After that,
however. II was IIerefords game
throughout. Hereford tied the score
and rot ahead in the last ten minutes
OF the last half, and kept the lead
throughout the remainder Of the
game
Miss Gallagher did not jump as

handled the ball very much better at
critical times evading Miss Thomp-

successful In getting away her passes

praise that could be heard on all

"He knows better; he told her she must
save enough to pay her railroad fare, and
she can't save enough to pay her rent"
"She had to bury her father"
"Che-e-e-e!"
"She's selling mushrooms"
"ThereU be a frost and I'll get no
money. Maehel out she goes. When
can l have my shoes, Extortionist2"
Salvador grinned. Tomorrow = next
day-maybe."
"Maybe!" Beppo thundered. "What
are you? The mayor / want my shoes to-
morrow, seer"
MAYBE" said Salvador serenely.
Beppo grumbled, looked about for
match, found one and lit his pipe. Then he
went out without bestowing another glance
on the cobbler.
Salvador watched his feet ascending the
area steps, then he took up the shoes and
carefully spat into first one and then the
other before he pitched them into the cor
ner After that he took the half sheet of the
newspaper that had wrapped them and
spread it out on his knees; it was the adver-
tisement sheet and he found the name of
large motor establishment and industriously
read the price list. Salvatore dream was
to make fortune and ride in motor car;
he had been worm long time. We all
have our dreams; this was his. 1t pos
sessed him sometimes with the poignant
anguish of passion; he longed for a
motor as fercely as an old woman longs
; for spring onions.
He was still reading when Ziola Mar
esca appeared in the area. She was an
Italian and eighteen; she looked like a
beautiful ripe nectarine with the bloom on
it. Her eyes were like velvet, and a vivid,
mustard-colored handkerchief was folded

stool and wept; an attempt to stay that
anguish would have been as useless then as
a straw dam in Niagara. The cobbler did
not attempt it; he viewed her philosophi-
cally; he thought that girls usually cried, and
he wished that she would go before he fried
his onions and scallops for dinner; there were
not enough for two.
"Beppo will turn me out tonight if |
don't pay my rent" sobbed Ziola, and
Caterina and Paulina got all the mushrooms
this morning the spiteful cats!'
You'd better marry Salvestro," advised
Salvador, without prejudice. He wants
you and he asks fifteen cents shave now,
and gets it,
Ziola looked tragic; then beautiful light
dawned over her face. II wish Leo well; l
don't like the smell Of lather; there is still
the river"
Salvador shifted; he was touched, but, like
Beppo, he was tight wad.
Ziola applied the corner of the mustard
colored handkerchief to her eyes and became
more composed; the hurricane had spent
itself. She UNFINISHED the bit of paper and
produced brilliant stone See what l
found on Little Orange Street, right in the
gutter, too. Isn't it the prettiest piece of
glass2 One must love it..
Salvador leant forward, suddenly petrihed,
and peered into her hand. They remained
so for some seconds, Ziola with her left
arm extended, the sparkling crystal in the
rosy palm, and Salvador bending toward
her, his neck craned like an old turtles
thrust out of its shell. His eyes were glued
to the stone; visible CULVER rippled over his
person.
"What you do with it?" he asked, re-
straining himself. /
Ziola turned it over with a pointed fore
finger. II don't know. If it had hole in
it I'd wear it round my neck"
I'D give fifty cents for it, " Salvador ven
tured cautiously.
Ziola laughed, showing all her pretty
teeth "You, Salvador? What you do with
it, eh?"
He reflected; he was trembling with
eagerness II make two beads of it for a
pair of buckles
Ziola's lip trembled. She was really
thinking of Leo. It's too pretty to cut, J"
she said absently.

She looked at him amazed; plainly Saliva
tor was mad Ought she to take money
from crazy MANI But one dollar meant
two weeks rent, and Beppo was monster:
he had threatened her.

yelled from the corner, but on they whizzed;
then they took the crossing and jolted
frightfully.
"O-oh" cried Salvador, too fast-a-you
go too fast-a-you
Jim flung him scornful look. Pound
sand! Amt you ever been in motor-car
before?"
The poor little shoemaker collapsed. He
chung to the seat and stared, his eyes pop
ping. They slid down Elm and'across State;
they approached Olive Street. Again the
banners futtercd before his dazzled eyes.
He had ordered this detour to show himself
to his neighbors, and now, in the hour of full
hlment, he chung tight to the seat and trem-
bled. He suddenly remembered that the
stone was not his discovery, that poor Ziola
had right to the hundred dollars, that he
was jay in a peacock's plumes, and con-
science-that inscrutable and inexorable
force laid hold of him with cruel talons; he
writhed. The gorgeous banners, the lively
music, the thrill of conscious wealth, only
increased his agony. Sweat stood out on his
forehead; he shut his eyes, but the very
stones cried out, "Thief.'
In front Jim Grady, grinning from ear to
ear, driving recklessly, was also overtaken
by fate. Suddenly he looked up and saw his
boss standing on the curb with face of
wrath Then something happcned blind
with fright, the culprit forgot his business,

in point over her crisp black curls;
another handkerchief, lowered with pop
pies, was crossed on the bosom OF her
coarse blue wooden frock, her skirt was
short ard showed red stockings. She
carried twisted paper in her hands.
Salvador she said abruptly, Leo

She turned dizzy; while she had hesitated
to rob him he increased his offer! The stone
must be Ike the one carried by the charming
gentleman in vaudeville who made on1clcts
in his hat. Involuntary she clutehcd it
tighter and stared at Saltwater. Beads Of
perspiration stood out on his forehead,
moisture threatened to swell out sore OF the
dried folds Of his evaporated coEntenance;
he thought that she began to suspect the
truth and he perspired.
Two dollars he said, but no n,ore

there was shrek, the machine Jared, and
Jim rose to his feet yelling. They had run
over a woman. Salvador slipped down into
the bottom of the car and began TO say his
prayers backwards. The motor climbed an
clectric-light pole and crashed over side
ways.

heap. and he and Jim were arrested. Then

the passers-by.
Jim roared. "You're the goods" he cried,
and drove the motor along Church to Elm.
It was crowded; the trolley-cars passed,
full to the footboards. Salvador leaned back
and felt the grandeur of opulence The ma
