The showing of the Virginia Poly techniC
Institute Saturday against Yale was not
As good as the team has been dong
against Princeton for the last two OIL
three years. The Tigers have never found
it an easy matter to get away with v
p. l. in the early season game. but Yale
had little trouble running up a good
score Saturday.
One of the greatest surprises that has
been sprung In late years In South Allan
tic foot ball was the game Saturday in
which the North Carolina A. & NJ. team
met defeat at the hands of the Virginia
Military Institute. Starting the Seaso
with even better material than last year
the Raleigh eleven went down to defeat in
its second game against an eleven which
was not as good as it was by thirty
points last year. Before the game almost
anybody would have predicted that a. &
NJ. would have Won by at least -four
touchdOWns
The interscholastic series will begin this
week. In this connection it may be we'll
10 notice the showings of the two teams
which are to meet in the first game in
the contests played by each Saturday.
Central, which undoubtedly has one of
the best teams ever representing local
high school, won from the Episcopal
High School by a score of - to 0 and
that with but one of it's regular backffeld
in the game. The other two men who
help make UP almost the best trio ever
seen back of local high school line
were out of the game. Just what the
score would have been had the regular
men been in the game is hard to guess.
Western. the team which is to meet Cen
tral. took the worst beating ever given a
high school team when Tome rolled up
16 points against it. The Red and White
was weak almost everywhere, and showed
nothing that would lead one to believe
that it stands even long shot chance to
get away with the Blue and White
eleven.
Burgan, the scrub end, played in the
last quarter at Georgetown Saturday and
did some good work at end. The former
Prep school boy played an aggressive
game from the time he went in until the
game was ended. There We're only one or
two of the regulars who showed any ag-
gressiveness at all. Burgan will receive
more than passing mention for regular
job In the future.
White was the only man i'm George
towns secondary defense who played any
kind of game. Poor tackling was the
most noticeable thing in the poor work
done in backing up the Blue and Gray
line.

Princeton against Lehigh, but progress
in knowledge and execution Of rudiments
took place between Wednesday and Sat
urday. There's something in having pu-
pills who can absorb teaching no matter
how crude they may be- Against Lehigh
the Princeton forwards were sluggish and
uncertain and helped the backs scarcely
at all. The left wing was the weaker OF
the two, and both wings played as II they
thought their duties. except to plant their
feet and let the opposition charge into
them, ended with defensive aggressive
ness. The Princeon line hasn't yet shown
the offensive enterprise and realisation
of getting into and getting together as
have the Yale forwards, and the Yale
line isn't wonderfully far along in that
respect by any means. 1t is erratic, but
fale's offense at present shows snap
pier and better coordination between line
and backfield than Princeton Capt.
Howe is still dropkicking goals.
The Princeton backs are faster at get
ting away when running back kicks than
Yale's. but no faster at getting away on
line plays They are better dodgers. but
don't split into openings as cleanly.
Princeton had a shift last week after the
manner of the Yale shift, which worked
well several times for gains. but another
formation in which forwards dropped
back, then hoped up into the line, In
the same places apparently as they were
before dropping back didn't accomplish
anything. certainly didn't confuse Lehigh.
This maneuver was tried on licks and
forward passes, and the Lehigh men
drove through the resultant gaps like
water pouring through a sieve.
Yale Plays Loosely.
Criticisms made of Yale's play against
Virginia Poly are that 1t was loose and
erratic. 1t must have been careless when
a team which was beaten 33 20 blocked
two of Yales kicks. The frequency with
which Virginia recovered kicks or blocked
kicks points to the need Of more Wig
lance and agility on the part OIL Yale in
following a loose ball. Yale for several

LucidIy EXPRESSED,

An old Pennsylvania German living
in the mountains had a hard three
hours dusty walk to accomplish one
morning and he rose very early to
make his start. He had gone but a
little way when he was overtaken by
an automobile, which was probably
the first that had passed along that
way, The driver picked up the old
man and they were at his destination
in about 20 minutes.
"Danks so much awfuIly NIT de
ride. If l had known myself to be
here albeady two hours in front of de
clock yet l vud be at home fast
asleep already to start unless l knew
you vud not have picked me up since"

"Oh, this amt the suburbs. We

THAT depends. Sometimes we have
a crowd. Tonight there's hardly any
one. Nobody else is likely to get on
now."
why is that?"
"Wen, it's only a short way now
to the connection with the elevated
road. People who want to go the
rest of the way by the elevated, would
walk. And after we pass the ele-
waited there's other car lines they're
more likely to take, where the cars
run frequenter."
do you go to the heart of the
city,"
mo, we stop at the barns. Say,
have you noticed that Jap in there?"
The conductor nodded toward Maku.
What about him."
He was put aboard by a cop. Looks
as though somebody had slugged
him"
That's So" commented Orme. His
head is bandaged."
Judging from the bandage, it must
have been a nasty crack" continued
the conductor. But you wouldn't
, know he'd been hurt from his face.
Say, you can't tell anything about
those Johns from their looks, can you,
now?"
You certainly can't" replied Orme.
The conductor glanced out. There's
the elevated" he said. I'll have to
90 in and wake that drunk. He gets

Orme watched the conductor go to
the man who was sleeping in the
corner and shake him. The man
nodded his head vaguely, and settled
back into slumber. Through the open
door came the conductors voice:
Wake up!"-Shake-"You get of
Observation-Disclosures up, there!'
But the man would not awaken.
Maku was sitting but few feet
from the sleeping man. He had moi
appeared to notice what was going on
but now, just as the conductor seemed
about to appeal to the motorman fol-
help, the little Japanese slid along the
seat and said 20 the conductor: -
wake him."
The conductor stared, and scratched
his head. IF you can," he remarked
its more'n l can do"
Maku did not answer, but putting
his hand behind the sleeping mans
back, found some sensitive vertebra

leading him into an affair which was
greater than any mere tangle OF pri-
Vate interests. He knew, too, that,
upon the mesh of private interests,
public interests are usually woven.
The activity Of a Russian syndi
cate in Korea had been the more
or less direct cause of the Russo
Japanese war; the activity Of
rival American syndicates in Vene-
zuela had been, but a few years
before, productive of serious in
ternational complications. In the
present instance, both South Ameri-
cans and Japanese were interested.
But Orme knew in his soul that there
could be nothing unworthy in any
action in which the girl took part.
She would not only do nothing un-
worthy; she would understand the sit
uation clearly enough to know wheth-
er the course which offered itself to
her was worthy or not
In events such as she had that
night faced with him, any other girl
Orme had ever met would have shown
moments of weakness, impatience, or
fear. But to her belonged a calm
which came from clear perception of
the comparative unimportance of pet
ty incident. She was strong, not as a
man is strong, but in the way a wom-
an should be strong.
The blood went to his cheeks as he
remembered how tenderly he had
spoken to her in the boat, and how
plain he had made his desire for her
What should he call his feeling? Did
love come to men as suddenly as
this? She had not rebuked him
there was that much to be thankful
for; and she must have known that
his words were as involuntary as his
action in touching her shoulder with
his hand.
But how could she have rebuked
him? She was, in way, indebted to
him. The thought troubled him. Had
he unintentionally taken advantage
of her gratitude by showing affection
when she WISHED no more than COM
radeship? And had she gently said
nothing, because he had done some
thing for her? If her patience with
him were thus to be explained, 1t
must have been based upon her recog-
milton of his unconsciousness.
Still, the more he pondered, the
more clearly he saw that she was not
a girl who, under the spell Of friendly
good will, would permit false situa-
tion to exist. Her sincerity was too
deep for such a CLOSING of fact. He
dared assume, then, that her sym
pathy with him went even so far as
to accept his attitude when 1t was a
shade more than friendly.
More than friendly! Like white
light, the truth flashed upon him as he
stood there on the rocking platform Of
the car. He and she would have to be

seen her until that day. He did not
even know her name. But all his life
belonged to her, and would belong to
her forever. The miracle which had
been worked upon him, might it rot
also have been worked upon her? He
felt unworthy, and yet she might care
might already have begun to care
but he put the daring hope out of his
mind, and looked again at Maku.
The Japanese had not moved. His
face still wore it's racial look of pa
tient Indifference; his hands were still
crossed in his lap. He sat on the edge
Of the seat, in order that his feet
might rest on the floor, for his legs
were short; and with every lurch OF

himself to the motion with an uncon-
scious ease that betrayed supple mus

The car stopped at a corner and
the man and woman got out, but
Maku did not even seem to glance at
them. Orme stepped back to make

they descended and the conductor

CHAPTER VIII.
The Trail Of Maku.


When for the second time that night
he bade the girl adieu and saw her
enter the house of her friends, Orme
went briskly to the electric car line.
He had not long to wait A car
came racing down the tracks and
aboard at the rear platform, he
glanced within. There were four pas
sengers-a man and woman who, ap-
parently, were returning from an eve
ming party of some sort, since he was
in evening dress and she wore an
opera cloak; a spectacled man, with
black portfolio in his lap; a seedy
fellow asleep in one corner his head
sagging down on his breast, his hands
in his trousers pockets; and-was it
possible? Orme began to think that
Fate had indeed changed her face
toward him, for the man who sat
huddled midway of the car, staring
straight before him with beady, ex-
pressionless eyes, was Maku.
Under the brim of his dingy straw
hat a white bandage was drawn tight
around his head-so tight that from
it's under edge the coarse black hair
bristled out in distinct fringe. The
blow of the wrench, then, must have
cut through the skin.
Well-that would mean one more
scar on the face of the Japanese.
The other scar, how had Maku come
by that? Perhaps in some battle with
! the Russians in Manchuria. He
seemed to be little more than a boy,
but then, one never could guess the
age of a Japanese, and for that mat
ter, Orme had more than once been
told that the Japanese had begun to
impress very young soldiers long be-
fore the battle of Mukden.
While making these observations,
Orme had drawn his hat lower over
his eyes. He hoped to escape recog-
milton, for this opportunity to track
Maku to his destination was not to be
missed. He also placed himself in
such a position on the platform that
his own face was partly concealed by
the cross-bars which protected the
windows at the end of the car.
In his favor was the fact that Maku
would not expect to see him. Doubt
less the Japanese was more concerned
with his aching head than with any
suspicion of pursuit, though his
somewhat indeterminate profile, as
visible to Orme, gave no indication of
any feeling at all. So Orme stood
where he could watch without seem
ing to watch, and puzzled over the
problem of following Maku from the
car without attracting attention.
The refusal of the other Japanese to
accept the girls offer of money for the
papers had given Orme new idea of
the Importance of the quest. Maku
and his friend must be Japanese gov
ernment agents-just as Poritol and
Alcatrante were unquestionably acting
for their government This, at least,
was the most probable explanation
that entered Orme's mind. The syndi-
cate, then--or concession, or what
ever it was-must be of genuine inter
national significance.
Though Orme continued to smother
his curious questlonings as to the
meaning of the secret, he could not
ignore his general surmises. To put
his confidence in the girl-to act for
her and for her alone--that was
eDOusA foe him; but II added - his
