DRESENTLY he wandered back into the house, and.

Belew read the lines slowly twice over; then folding

for long time staring at nothing in particular At
length he lifted his head and looked up INTO the smiling
ewes of the Cavalier above the mantel

her stick and her white hair she looked younger
and more girlish than ever.
At least, the Sergeant seemed to think SO; for, as
he met her look his face grew suddenly radiant while
the solitary hand he held to her trembled little
for all its size and strength
"Aliss Priscilla, Alaam-' he said, and stopped.

more.
@Why, Sergeant she exclaimed, though it very

Miss Priscilla stood very silent and very still looking

came Anthea; but very grave
eyed, troubled Anthea, who sat
at the tea table silent and prcoc-
cupied-in so much that Small
Porgcs openly wondered, while
Miss Priscilla watched over her,
wistful and tender.
Thus, tea, which was wont to
be the merriest meal of the dav,
was but the pale ghost of what it
should have been. despite Small
Porges' flow of conversation
when not impeded by bread and
jam-and Bellew' tactful efforts.
Now, while he talked light
heartedly, keeping carefully to
generalities, he noticed two
things, -one was that Anthca
made but pretense at eating,
and the second that, though she
uttered word now and then, vet
her eyes persistently avoided his.
Thus, he for one was relieved
when tea was over, and as he rose
from the table he determined, de-
spite the unpropitious look of
things, to end the suspense. one
way or another, and speak TO
Anthea just SO soon as she should
be alone.
But here again he was baked
and disappointed: for when
Small Porges came to bid him
goodnight as usual, he learned
that "Aunty Anthea" had already
gone to bed.
"She saysit's headache said

just take a turn at the lee braces,
and keep your weather eye lifting;
for YOU may be sure of this. if the

Then, having hidden Small
Porges a CHEEKY goodnight, Bellew
went out to walk among the roses.
And, as he walked, he watched
the flying wrack of clouds above
his head, and listened to the wind
that moaned in fitful gusts.

movement, produced very small

which he handed to Bellew.

More Coaches Helping
Virginia Varsity Lads

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Nov. A.
Virginia's squad of coaches was in
creased yesterday by the arrival of
two former stars, Honaker, the former
quarterback. and Johnny Neff, another
crack player Of days gone by, who

success several years ago. Both were
loud in their praise OF the showing
made by Virginia thus far and predict
an excellent showing in the remaining
games of schedules
Today the varsity will line up against
Wake Forest In a game that should
prove interesting in view of the record
of the visitors In the past few weeks
however. Virginia should have little
trouble in taking the long end of q

she will win by a good margin.
The lineup will be practically the

been placed upon the veteran backfield.

to be the best eleven of the year.

Page Bill Popular

A bill Of far-reaching Importance has
been introduced in the United States Sen.
ate by Senator Page of Vermont. Its
purpose is to do for trades and indus
tries in the way of government aid in
providing instruction and training what
Senator Morrill's act founding agricul-
tural colleges did years ago for agricul-
tural training. Senator Pages measure
provides for the appropriation of Sc, 900
900 for instruction in the trades and in.
dustries, home economies and agriculture
to be distributed to the various states in
accordance with the population OF 1910.
-Four million dollars is appropriated for
state district agricultural schools, to be
distributed according to agricultural
population. Five hundred thousand is
appropriated for extension work in con-
nection with the state colleges of agri-
culture, to be distributed according to the
efforts made by the states themselves.
One million is appropriated for instruc-
ton in trades, industries, home econom.
les and agriculture in state and normal
schools. Aid is thus to be extended to
practical education in many lines. The
bill has the support of the Grange, the
labor organizations and of many promi.
