PUNAHOUDROPS
GAME TO KAMS

The rain yesterday afternoon did
not keep the Kamehameha third team
and the Punahou Prep. team apart
although it spoiled the contest to a
large extent The game was played
on the Punahou lower field between
showers and was won by the Rams
with a score of 81.
Before the two teams had played
for five minutes the ball became so
wet that the pitcher could hardly
throw it over the plate. 1t was inn
possible to throw anything but a
straight ball and very easy one at
that for no hold could be taken on the
sphere The Kamehameha pitcher
had a larger hand than the Punahou
pitcher and found it easier to throw
the ball In case of hit the field
ers could not much more than get
the ball to second base, and then it
was usually wild throw. Under such
conditions it is wonder that the
boys could play as good as they did.
The game, however, was not fair
exhibition of the prowess of either
team.

VENICE, THE ISLAND CITY

No. 1. ST. MARKS CATHEDRAL
Copyright 1913 by Newspaper School, Inc

II HE Church of ST. Marks is un-
equaled in the whole world for
richness of material and construc-
ton. 1t was originally the private
chapel of the Doge or ruler of Venice.
One reason for it's being so richly
adorned is that there was a law in
Venice which required every mer-
chant trading with the East to bring
back some material for the decora
ton of the church. Thus it became
the final resting place of the adorn-
ments from countless other buildings
both in the East and in Italy. The
building has been compared to the
treasure den of band of pirates.
1t forms a museum of sculpture of
the most varied kind. from the fourth
century down to the latest Renais-
Sance.

Shirley stepped lightly down to the
wet grass. Looking back, she could
see her mothers lighted blind. All
around the ground was splotched
with rose petals, looking in the
squares of light like bloody rain. Be-
yond the margin of this brightness all
was in darkness, for the moon was
not yet risen, and a light damp breeze
passed in a slow rhythm as If the
earth were breathing mostly in it's
sleep. Somewhere far away sounded
the faint inquiring woo-o-o of an owl
and in the wet branches of a walnut
tree pigeon moved unanimously.
She SKINNED the lawn and ran a
little way down the lane. A shut
fling sound presently fell on her ear.

called softly.

appeared in the darkness, returning
quickly with a handful which she put

'There!" she whispered, and slipped
back through the perfumed dark.
An hour later she stood in the
coy stiffness of her bedroom It was
hung in silvery blue with curtains
of softly figured shadow-cloth having
misty design of mauve and pink
hydrangeas. A tilted mirror on the
draped dressing table had dark
mahogany frame set in upright posts
carved in a heavy pattern of grape
leaves. Two candles in silver candle
sticks stood before 1t, their friendly
| light winking from the fittings of the
dark bed, from the polished surface
of the desk in the corner and from
the old piece of brocade stretched
above the mantel, worked like shred

She threw off her gown, slipped
| into a soft loose robe of maize-col-
ored silk and stood before the small
glass. She pulled out the amber pins
and drew her wonderful hair on either
side of her face, looking out at her
reflection like a mermaid from be-
tween the ripping waves, of a moon.
