instant he saw that Neil was no longer
at the stake but was stretched on the
sand. and of the two figures beside
him one suddenly sprang to her feet
and ran to him. And then Marion's
terror-flled face was close to his own.
and Marion's lips were moaning his
name. and Marion's hands were slash
ing at the thongs that bound him.
When with great sigh of joy he
crumpled down upon the earth he
knew that he was slipping of into OBJ
livion with Marion's arms about his
neck, and with her lips pressing to his
the sweet elixir of her love.
Darkness enshrouded him but few
moments. when a dash of cool water
brought him back into light. He felt
himself lowered upon the sand and
after a breath or two he twisted him
self on his elbow and saw that Neil's
white face was held on Winnsome's
breast and that Marion was, running
up from the shore with more water.
For a space she knelt beside her broth
er, and then she hurried to him. Joy
shone in her face. She fell upon her
knees and drew his head in the hollow
of her arm. grooming mad senseless
words to him. and bathing his face
with water. her eyes shining down
upon him gloriously. Nathaniel
reached up and touched her face. and
she bowed her head until her hair
smothered him in sweet gloom. and
kissed him He drew her lips to his
own. ana then she lowered him gently
and stood up in the starlight, looking
first at Neil and next down at him;
and then she turned quickly back to
the sea.
From down near the shore she
called back some word, and with
shrill cry Winnsome followed her. Ma

knees-staggered to his feet. He saw

the women did not accomplish this
work alone. they were in large

would have been different had they
not voted. Gill was elected mayor OF
Seattle a year ago by a majority OF

right of suffrage, but in November
were clothed with that power. Almost
from the start Gill's administration
came in for sharp criticism.
As soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move

Methodist VS.. Presbyterian.

The above heading does not init
mate any trouble between these two
churches-not at all. 1t is just a
little friendly game of basket ball,
that two of the Sunday schol classes
played last evening at the Armory,
and which resulted in score of SO
to 20 in favor of the Methodist
AT the opening of the game for
tune seemed to favor the Presby-
terrain players, but finally their riv-
ais began scoring, and by the end of
the first half the score was II to IA
in the Methodist favor
After time was called for the
second half the ball was in the
Methodist end Of the hall much Of
the time, and one basket after an
other fell to their credit. Again the
Presbyterians got in some good work
but the lead could not be overcome,
add tie game ended as above.
Professor Duttor acted as umpire
and while the playing was not up to
the standard of the expert, Mr.
Outer says it was very fair con-
sidering the inexperience of many OF
the players. He refrained from
calling many fouls, only interfering
when necessary to keep the play
well within bounds. These friendly
contests will be beneficial if con.
Quoted without arousing jealousy
which often leads to animosity. A
good rule is to be able to cheer a
good play made by either contestant
and keep in mind that the friend
ship of each other is worth much
more than the victory in game Of
basket ball.
The lineup was as follows:
For the Presbyterians, Leonard
and Lee, Forwards, Boberg and ia
CODY. Guards, Kline, Center.
For the Methodists: Duncan and
Overmyer, Forwards, Wood and
Evans, Guards, Shirer, Center.
