Lucille Walters was a leader at

ejaculation with his hand, gently laid
across her lips.
And then as her eyes blazed like
torches with their outraged fires, he
dropped to his knees beside the bed
and said hotly:
You will never forgive me for this
and 1 do not blame you. But some
day you will understand. I have done
nothing at Squirrel Inn to make a
gentleman blush for shame-except
this-and-I had to do 1t. I thought I
could-could say good-by without
awakening you. I am going now.
When first We met. you gave me a
kiss-or II you please. I stole 1t. In

and taking as the sweetest memory
OF my life this last good-by."
Bowling his head over the face Of
the half stupefied girl, he touched his
lips to hers reverently-and slipped
from the room.
As he did 80 q piercing shrek arose.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June IA
The Syracuse crews appeared here
yesterday afternoon and went out on
the Hudson for a practise spin. All
the crews that will participate in the

The Washington four-oared crew
was the first on the water, putting In
nine miles at easy PAGES before the
other crews appeared. AS the crew is
still using Cornelrs shell, the men
had to get off the water before the
Ithacans could start.
Coach Courtney, OF Cornell, sent
his senior crew over the four miles
on a hard row. evidently time trial.
but would not give out any figures.
His freshman crew also had a two
mile row in a brush with the varsity,
and held the seniors down for three
quarters of the distance.
Coach Conibear, of Washington,
went over the course in a launch,
watching the other crews work. He
was much impressed with the work
of his rivals.
The Columbia oarsmen rowed up
the river above their quarters and
were drilled in blade work.
The Wisconsin crews also went up
the river and came down over the
course. Coach Vail said:

work until after their examinations
are finished Friday. We have not
had real hard trial, and will have
none until next week"
