She hadn't been sleeping, either. She called to me in an undertone to come in, and she was lying propped up with pillows, with something pink around her shoulders and the night lamp burning beside the bed.

 She sat up, and some letters slid to the floor.

 "WiIl you sit down and try to tell me just what you mean?" she said. '"How can my sister and her-her wretch of a husband have come last night at midnight when I saw MT. Car ter myself not later than ten o'clock? ?'
 Well, had to tell her then about who Mir. Pierce was and why I had to get him, and she understood almost at once. She was the most understand ing girl ever met. She saw at once what AIr Sam wouldn't have known in a thousand years-that I wanted to save the old place-not to keep my DO, sition-but because I'd been there so long. asd my father before me, and had helped to make it what it was and all that

 When I opened my eyes Mir. Pierce was sitting on the other side of the chimney and staring at the fire. He had a pipe between his teeth but he wasn't smoking, and he had something Of the same look about his mouth he'd had the first day saw him.
 "Well?" he said, when be saw I was awake.
 That minute I made up my mind not to tell him all the facts. He might think the situation was too much for him and leave, or he might decide he ought to tell Miss Summers where Dick was. There was no love lost be- tween him and Mir Carter.
 I'm just tired and cranky" said, "so-is Miss Summers settled yet?'
 He nodded. as if he wasn't think ing of Miss Summers.
 What did you tell herr"
 Haven't seen her" he said. Sent her a note that was understudying man named Carter and to mind to pick up her cues"
 It's common enough name" 1 said but he had lighted his pipe again and had dropped forward, one elbow on his knee. his hand holding tho bowl of his pipe. and staring into the fire. He looked up when 1 closed and locked the pantry door

 They were both asleep in the shel- ter-hOuse. He was propped up against the wall or a box, with the rubber carriage robe around him. and she was lying by the fire, with Mrs. Moodys shawl over her and her muf under her head. Miss Patty stood in the doorway for an instant. Then she walked over and, leaning down, shook her sister by the arm.
 "DOrothyl" she said. Wake up, you wretched child!" And shook her again.
 Mrs Dicky groaned and yavned, and opened her eyes one GJ a time. But when she Saw it was Miss Patty she sat up at once, looking dazed and frightened.
 You needn't pinch me. Pat" she said, and at that Mir. Dick wakened and jumped up, with the carriage robe still around him. For heavens sake, Pat, don't cry. I'm not dead. Dick, this is my sister, Patricia
 Miss Pat looked at him. but she didn't bow. She gave him one look, from his head to his heels.
 Dolly, how could you!" she said, and got up.
 It wasn't comfortable for NIT. Dick, but he took it much better than l expected. He went over and gave his wife a hand to help her up. and still holding hers, he turned to Miss Patty.
 You are perfectly right" he said q don't see how she could myself. The more you know of me the more you'll wonder. But she did; we're up against that"
 He grinned at Miss Patty, and after a minute Miss Patty smiled back. But it wasn't much of a smile. Suddenly Mrs. Dick made a dive for Miss Patty and threw her arms around her. You darlingi" she cried. Pm so : glad to see you again-Pat, you'll tell father, won't you? He'll take it from you. If teli him he'll have apoplexy or something"
 But Miss Patty set her pretty mouth : both those girls have their fathers mouth--and held her sister cut al arms length and looked at her. { Listen she said. Do you know :. what you have done to me? Do you know that when father kEows this he. : going to annul the marriage or have | Mr. Carter arrested for Kidnapping cl ! abduction 2-whatever it is" Mrs !

 There's nothing uncertain about what she wants, or wrong either" retorted. She's right enough. The family cant stand a scandal just now with her wedding so close"
 He smiled and got up. emptying his pipe.
 Nevertheless, oh, Minnie of the glowing hair and heart" he said, Miss Jennings has disappointed me. You see, l believe in marrying for love"
 "Loye!" I was disgusted. Don't talk to me about love. Love is the sort of thing that makes two silly idiots run away and get married and live in a shelterhouse, upsetting ev- erybody's plans, while their betters have to worry themselves sick and carry them victuals."
 He got up and began to walk up and ] down the spring scOwling al the floor.
 Then picking up his old cap he opened the door. Miss Patty herself was coming up the path.
 She was flushed from the cold air and from hurrying, and I don't know that I ever saw her look prettier. When she came into the light we could both see that she was dressed for dinner. Her fur coat was open at the neck, and she had only lace scarf over her head.
 I'm so glad you're still here, Min nie!" she exclaimed, breathing fast. You haven't taken the dinner out to she shelter-house yet, have you?" Not yet" replied. "Tillie hasn't | brought the basket"
 But l guess her sister and Mir. Dick could have starved to death just then | without her noticing. She was all ex- ! citement, for all she's mostly so cool. i T have note here from my sis ter" she said, getting it out of her pocket. q know we all impose on you, Minnie, but-will you take it for me? I'd go, but I'm in slippers, and, anyhow, I'd need a lantern, and that would be reckless, wouldn't it?" Tn slippers!" NIT. Pierce interrupt ed. Its only five degrees above zero! Of all the foolhardy-!"
 Miss Patty did not seem to hear him. She gave the letter to me and ' followed me out on the step. You're a saint, Minnie" she said, ! leaning over and squeezing my arm, and because you're going back and forth in the cold so much, want you | to have this-to keep"
 She stopped and picked up from the snow beside the steps something soft and furry and threw it around my neck. and the next instant knew she was giving me her cIinehilla set. mufi and all. was so pleased cried. and all the way oyer to the shelter-house I sniyeled and danced with joy at the same time.

The basket ball game which is sched-
uled to be played Friday of this week be-

dav afternoon instead. The Catholic Uni
versity uuint is to play Trinity College
Saturday. and as Trinity has an excep-
tionally good team it was thought adVls-
able to arrange the Gailaudet game TOT
some other day than Friday, as 1t would
be hard for the men to play two hard
games in two days. and Wednesday was
decided upon.
Ii is to be hoped that Keegan will be
able TO get back in the game by Wednes-
day. as his absence is greatly felt. he
is to be examined by DIR. Lar sin. the

G. j. BOARD DOES NOT
REACH A DECISION
Blue and Gray Unable to Agree
on Man to Supervise
Athletics.

For two hours yesterday the executive
board at Georgetown, which controls the
athletic affairs. had a meeting trying to
settle on a graduate manager to fill the
vacancy left by the resignation of Vim
cent Daley. The board was unable to
agree on any of the candidates mentioned
for the job Whether or not the name Of
Charlie Cox was mentioned for this posi-
ton is not known. because the members
of the board who were interviewed on
this matter We're unwilling to state any
thing that would indicate Coxs name
being mentioned for the job. 1t is a
known fact that Mr.. Cox came to Wash
ington from Philadelphia Saturday. and
from man closely connected with him
the job of graduate manager.
Cox assisted Fred Nielsen in developing
a winning team at the hilltop during the
fall of 1910. and is man who has al
ways followed the affairs of Georgetown
in the athletic world He would doubt
less prove a valuable man if given this
position by the athletic association.
1t is understood that Jimmie Walsh
was the only students name mentioned
for the job. Walsh is the logical candi-
date for this important position. He sue
ceSsfully managed the foot ball team
during the fall Of 1911 and his report at
the end of the foot ball season showed
that through his careful work the team
made more money than any eleven in
former years was able to make. Walsh
seems to be the man for the job. Every
student at Georgetown is pulling for him
to- land this position. If given him he
should prove successful.
The talk that the graduate manager
ship would be done away with at George
town is not true, as this source of infOr-
nation was learned yesterday. There will
be a graduate manager and the appoint
ment will be made before the week
ends.
No head coach of the foot ball team
for next fall will be named until after a
graduate manager has been appointed
Vincent Daley, the former supervisor of
athletics, named his own coaches and
the man to receive the appointment will
have the privilege Of choosing his own
men.
President Langan, it is understood. will.
during the next few days. look over the
men mentioned for the position as grad
uate manager. and learn from them the
ideas and plans that they would expect
to carry out If they were given this I'm
portant position. He will, of course.
make his report to the board and then 1T
is expected that the board will be able to
select one man from the number.

NO HORSE RACING
AT THE WOLF FARM
Hartford County Racing Com
mission Refuses Fair Asso-
citation Request for Permit.

ELkTON. Nd. February 3-At an
adjourned meeting held Saturday night
of the Hartford county racing commission
the death knell was sounded on the pro-
posed race track of the Havre de Grace
Fair Association, located on the Wolf
farm. which adjoins the Hartford Breed
ers' Association track. near Havre de
Grace by refusing to grant it a license
for racing dates during 1913.
The promoters of the track on the
Wolf property on being refused dates
last year began war on the Hartford
Breeders Association people and was
backed up in their fight by several Bal
timore papers, which aroused public sen-
timent against gambling at the Havre
de Grace track by New York and Phila-
delphia sports.
The fair association made another eff
fort this year to secure dates and had
eX-AttOrney General Bryan, Harry B.
Wolf and Arthur Elroad of Baltimore
plead their cause. and for two hours the
commission heard the speeches on the
part of these gentlemen, in which they
outlined varied and extensive plans for
the new race track. in which $95. 600 was
to be spent in erecting the plant. Plans
had been completed to have the track
finished and ready for racing by June l.

If there is anything in the ground hog
theory. and winter Is to continue six
weeks longer. Charlottesville Is not going
to prove an ideal training place early in
March. GriffitE's charges, of course. will
have an advantage over most teams in
that they will be able to work out in a
gymnasium every day. but indoor training
is not suitable for ballplayers II II is
continued too long. Working on a hard
ioor is not to the players liking. 1t
stiffens the muscles of their legs and in
jures their feet Indoor work is beneficial
when il is resOrted to only occasionally,
but long stretch of il is sure to give the
players setback. Griffith. however, is
fortunate in that he is not apt to have
any of his players much overweight. A
couple of weeks OF outdoor work would
lit his team well enough to start in on
the exhibition series. which should put
the players on edge for the opening OF
the season.
