THAT does make a great diner

and two piteous fearful eyes were
bent upon him.
Don't you reckon II Uncle Bob is

nibal anxiously.
But it hasn't been such great
while, Hannibal; it's only that SO
much has happened to you. II he
was very badly hurt it may have been
weeks before he could travel; and
then when he could, perhaps he went
back to that tavern to try to learn
what had become Of you. But We
may be quite certain he Will never
abandon his search until he has made
every possible effort to find you,
dear! That means he will sooner or
later come to west Tennessee. for
there will always be the hope that
you have found your way here"

ing, Miss Betty" confessed the boy.
Seems like l just couldn't wait no
longer" He sighed gently, and then
his face cleared. You reckon he'll
come most any time, don't you. Miss
Betty?"
Yes, Hannibal; any day or hour"
"Whoop!" muttered Hannibal soft
ly under his breath. Presently he
asked: Where does that branch take
you to-" He nodded toward the
bayou at the foot OF the terraced bluff

swered Betty.
Hannibal saw a small skiff beached
among the cottonwocds that grew
along the waters edge and his eyes
lighted up instantly. He had juvenile
passion for boats.
why, you got boat, amt you,
Miss Betty?" This was charming
and an important discovery.

adversity-that it was his magnifi-

sQualor of his daily life seem merely
a passing phase-but the boy had
managed to point delicate distinc-

the hope and faith which never quite
died out in SIocum Prices indomita-

But you always have enough to
eat, dear?" she questioned anxiously.
Hannibal promptly treasured her on
this point. You wouldn't let me
think anything that was not true, Han
nfbal->-you are quite sure you have
never been hungry"
Never, Miss Betty; honest!"
Betty gave a sigh of relief. She
had been reproaching herself for her
neglect of the child; she had meant
to do so much for him and had done
nothing! Now it was too late for her
personally to interest herself in his
behalf, yet before she left for the east
she would provide for him. Ii she
had felt it was possible to trust the
Judge she would have made him her
agent, but even in his best aspect he

questioned Betty. ~

Hannibal was cheerfully tolerant of
this weakness on the part of the
austere Mahaffy. BY this time Betty
was ready to weep over the child,
with his knowledge Of shabby vice,
and his fresh young faith in those old
tatterdemaltons.

an idea to suggest or plan to present

vsstigation there Is TO be another spe-
cial meeting such as the one or yes
terday when the reports OF the expert
investigators engaged by the commit
tee will be read. with a general discus
sion of taximeters to follow. This lat
ter will be rendered more than ordi-
narily interesting by reason OF the fact
that skilled taximeter manipulators are
to show in the presence or the pubic

been studying the legal ends OF the sit

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 81
Jay Gould, worlds amateur court tennis
champion, and F. c. Tompkins. profess
sional to the Racquet Club. provided ten
mis- lovers with a rare treat at the Rae
quet Club yesterday afternoon in one OF
the best-played matches that has been
seen there for long time. The champion
won by 3 sets to o, but he found a
worthy opponent in Tompkins. who made
him play his hardest and best all the way
through the match.
In the first set Tompkins showed very
fine form, indeed. and won the first three
games before his opponent got going
properly. The fourth and fifth games
were strenuously contested, but Gould
won both. Tompkins made 1t 4 to . by
winning the next game, and he was play
ing SO well that he looked to have good
chance to take the set. Gould. however.
kept on improving, and took four straight
games and won the set by games to 4.
Gould showed wonderful form in the
second set and won the first three games
handily. In the fourth game Tompkins
made desperate efforts to reduce the lead
against him. and deuce was called sew
eral times. but his opponent again won.
He won the fifth game. however, but lost
the next two.
Gould again took a strong lead in the
third set, and obtained a lead of games
to o. but again Tompkins played up with
great determination and reduced the lead
against him by winning a couple of games
in succession. Gould won the seventh
game and his opponent the eighth. but
the champion gave his opponent little
chance in the last game, and captured
the set by 6 games to g. Summary:

sylvania's eighteenth annual relay races

last Saturday in that month, and they
promise to be even more successful than
ever before. The invitation letters were
sent out only recently. but already in
quiries and letters from many college
managers evince greater interest In
these wonderful races than for any
previous year.
The management has just finished re-
classifying the various colleges, a most
difficult task, but one which it is hoped
will be satisfactory, to the teams con-
cerned. There have been more changes
than usual this season. due to the riv-
alries that have developed in recent
years and the changing standard Of
track work in some Of the colleges.
The class with Columbia, Syracuse.
Dartmouth, Amherst Carlisle. etc,
should fill this season. and it should
prove almost as high class and interest
ing as the mile championship itself. A
class has been given to the normal
school this season. as several request.
ed that this be done. 1t should make q
good race and be the means Of develop
ing interest III Track WOTh throughout
these schools.
Word has been received from several
Of the western colleges. indicating that
this section Of the country will be rep
resented better than ever before.
Besides the class races lie one. two
and four mile college relay champion

freshman championship and the follow
ing individual events will take place:
100 yards. 120-yard hurdle. snot. ham

The individual events are open to all
college men, graduate or undergraduate.
thus affording the college graduate star
a chance to get back into real college

pions with the ones gone before.

Representatives of the Washington

rooms Of the Baltimore Chess Associa.
ton January %. and extended to the
chess players OF the Monumental city an
invitation to participate in the coming
Washington's birthday tourney. The Eal-
timoreans greeted this proposition With
such enthusiasm that they have agreed
to send a team OF twelve men to play
an intercity match with the Washington

Baltimore has splendid team. includ-

that a victory will wipe out the sting

and is particularly pleased with 1t as 1t Is

There are today in New York state
ifty-three regularly licensed boxing
clubs. nearly all Of which hold regular
boxing shows. Only in isolated instances
have clubs been forced to suspend their
shows through lack Of patronage. and In
the most of the others the receipts are
quite up to the expectations OF their
hackers. OF the fifty-three clubs in this
state there are thirty-four in Greater
New York, where boxing flourishes as
never before.

From this sum the state treas

About 1000 boxers have earn

About 1900 club attaches are
