FlGd years ago the manager
of'the football team that rep
resented Everett High school
sent out his annual call for stu
dents. The institution wanted an
eleven and the manager took the
customary way of having one
formed.
Among those who reported to the
coach on the school athletic field
that day in September was "a
sturdy, good looking, compact, con-
fident piece of masculinity. He an

Brickley was called.
He was dark haired and had eyes
of Irish blue. He had the fighting

The coach at Everett that season
was Ted Jennings. The latter had
been the greatest halfback which
Everett had turned out previous to
that time. He went subsequently
to Dartmouth, where the name is
still numbered among those who
did yeoman service for the green
on the gridiron.
Jennings, in his elementary in

or on either side: he could not guess.
But he was determined.
Now there was beneath his window
balcony with floor of wood and a
rail of iron-filigree-a long balcony,
extending from one corner Of the ho-
tel to the other. At intervals 1t was
splashed with light from the windows
of chambers still occupied by guests
belated or busy, like himself, with the
task of dressing for the evening. The
window to his left was alight; that

ice:

And now he triumphed and was

came the next line:

AS the last note rang out and died,
the next window was darkened; the
woman had switched of the lights.
He heard faint rustic of silken ruff

an agony Of nticipation-"herself and

He was right. Abruptly he discov-

bidding the practice of expectorating
in public places, and last but not least

somewhat grieved over the action of
the council.
The girls assert that the council has
