Fortune,e RIddIe soived.

Fortunes Riddle Solved.
Fortune, without deigning to reply
walked slowly and proudly to her tent,
and disappeared within. She looked
neither at Ryanne nor at George. She
knew that George. his soul filed with
un1ucky quixotic sense Of chivalry
which had made him SO easy a victim
to her mother, would not accept his
liberty at the price Of Ryanne's. Ry-
anne, to whom he owed nothing, not
even mercy. And If she had had to
ask one 81 the two, George would
have been the natural selection, for
she trusted him implicitly. Perhaps
there still fingered in her mind rec.
objection Of how charmingly he had
spoken Of his mother.
She could have set out for Cairo
alone: even as she could have grown

air! The fate that walked behind her

Horace! A chill that was not Of the
night ran over his shoulders. So she
called the adventurer by his given
name? And how might her presence
torture Ryanne? George felt weak
in that bitter moment. Ay, how might
not her presence torture him also?
He had never, for the briefest space,
thought of Ryanne and Fortune at the
same time. She spoke, alphabetically
1t was true, as If she had known him
all her life. The wisest thing heaeould
do was to bring Ryanne to condition
where he could explain some parts of
the enigma and be of some use. Hor-

She nodded, but without any par.

the evil laughter Of hyena came over

her head upon the wadded saddle-bags

at her heart: She must keep up the
farce Of Being brave when she knew
that she wasn't. The men must not

Of weakness upon her side would cor
respondingly depress them the moro.
She prayed to God to give her the
strength to hold out. She was afraid
of Mahomed; she was AFRAID Of his

eyes; she could not sponge out tho
scene wherein he had so gratuitously

the hour he opened his eyes and
smiled. It was more like the grin

GEORGETOWN RELAY
BOOKED FOR TODAY
Men Will Run Time Trials for
a Place on Blue and
Gray Four.

Georgetown University's track squad
had it's last workout this afternoon be-
fore the time tria,s which are to decide
the relay team that will meet Holy Cross
at Boston Saturday. At $50 this after
noon at Convention Hall seven Of the
Blue and Gray speed artists. Capt. Car
rigan, Eller, Chapman, Martin. Davis,
Campazzi and Mulligan, will go to their
marks on the track of the local hall to
do their best in the 39O-yard run,
for this will be the distance that the Hill
toppers will race the Worcester relay four.
The team that is picked as the result
of todays trial may not be the outfit
that will represent the university on the
heights all during the coming season. as
some Of the men who show up poorly in
trials ON account of not being in proper
condition may display more ability later
in the season and replace some Of their
squad mates on the relay team
1t is hardly possible to forecast the re-
suit of the trials that will be held this
afternoon at the hal, for during the past
week all the candidates for the relay
have been showing up In nne form anu
giving good accounts of themselves IN
speed tests, according to the watch. That
the successful competitors will better
the time of their less fortunate squad
mates by only a few seconds Is most
probable. The seven men that have been
working to get in shape for the trials this
afternoon are all Of the highest ca tber,
as Coach Gish of the Blue and Gray
track squad said this afternoon that lie
could not tell which men would show up
the best in today's test, but that which

team that he was confident that they
would prove strong enough to win over

SMITH MAY RETURN
FOR AGG|ES' NINE
Last Years Pitcher to Re-
Enter School in the Early
Spring.
'pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLLEGE PARK, February 6.-Man-
ager W. s. Grace of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College base ball club has about
completed his schedule Of games for the
coming season. Two games have been
arranged with st. Johns College, An
napolis, and the rivalry existing between
the schools makes it certain that these
games will be holly contested. Manager
Grace has also scheduled a game with
the Naval Academy, and a game with
Washington and Western Maryland col
leges The schedule will not be officially
promulgated until it is approved by the
athletic council, as the premature pro-
mitigation of the schedule has caused
some embarrassment in the past, because
the athletic council sometimes makes
changes. There is an excellent chance
that Smith, the star pitcher OF the team
last season, will return to the college In
the early spring. Smith is a student at
The college, but was called away by his
father shortly after the opening of the
term last September He played ball dur
ing the past summer. and is reported to
have developed great speed and control
and also to have mastered the splitter.
Hoffecker will also be depended upon to
do some Of the pitching. Hof1ecker Is an
earnest worker, and is likely to spring a
surprise this year. Bean. who last year
attended Tome Institute, is said to be
some twirler, and will be given chance
to show what he can do Duckett mas
deyeioped much since last summer. and
will probably be called upon to help out
in the box. He has fine curve. and uses
his top-piece with great judgment.
