Shortly after Ames' kickoff,
it was Nebraska's ball, and on

fifteen yards in a pathetic

ton of football heroism as is
seldom seen.
Taking the ball on a quarter
back run, Cooke circled right
end once more, lodging on ore
foot as no rabbit ever lodged
on four, squirming, wriggling
and struggling. His face was
drawn with pain, he saw his in

Jones made a few remarks and

She drew long deep breath and

over her lovely face.

been Louise's motive in denying to
me that he had been in the house?
She must have known it.
I began to wish that l had taken
Davis advice and remained in Ard

have had some definite clue. I re-

''you are not yourself. Can't you rely

I gathered her into my arms and
held her close. l pressed my lips
against her fragrant hair where it

What do you mean? What's sto-

She was trembling all over and her
breath came in quick, short jerks.
She was dressed in an automobile hat
and coat, but even through the thick
folds of her coat l could feel the pal
pitating of her heart The new mys-
terry, whatever it was, had been too
much for her already overstrained

Even as framed the question there
came to me the thought Of Crandall's
visit. He had been in the hotel in
Ardway where the woman committed
suicide after reading a yellow letter

letter had disappeared. More likely
he had come here just to get that
scrap of yellow paper lest its evidence

Attorney John w. Cox's intense in
terest in Teddy Roosevelt threw police
court into confusion today, temporarily
halted the proceedings and sent a ne
gro woman client into a panic.
The attorney sat in the court room
reading a copy of The Georgian, all
about Roosevelt and the Chicago Re-

become that he failed to hear the name
of his client when it was shouted by
Recorder Pro TEN Preston. AS this
trial started the negress looked about
in fright
Don't try me now, judge she said,

would be here to defend me. Please

Preston shouted the attorneys name
while Judge Broyes stopped the trial.
Attorney Cox finally glanced up from
his paper to see what all the excite
ment was about, apologized and put
the blame on Roosevelt.
