Extraordinary Football Feat.

B. P. Walker has theory that per-
sons who know nothing about foot
ball should not attempt to describe the
game. He writes: "A late novel by a
Kansas author depicts football game
In which the hero is the shining star.
The score stands to 0 in favor of the
hero. Suddenly the quarter back of
the opposing team skirts the end and
eludes the whole hero bunch. He tears
down the field like a flash and is with.
in two yards of the hero's goal. Just
then the hero comes to life and shakes
off the tacklers and makes a few
mighty bounds. The last bound is SO
fierce that he lands out in front of the
flying quarter back and crushes him
to the ground only yard from the
goal That, brethren, is some run
ming, even for hero. Just why the
tacklers of the offensive team were
tackling the players on the defensive
team the author does not state."-Kan-
sas City Star.

BORROWING A BOOK

with the book under her arm.
The following Thursday afternoon

heap Of wood, caught between two
islands of masonry that rose out of
the swirling flood. And all around
her was water. Not house was left
IN Elkwood. The valley had become
river; the stream had forced it's
way through the weak spots in the
masonry and was roaring on its thou
sand-mile journey toward the sea.
And where the prison had been was
only pile of shattered stone.
Suddenly she perceived something
that made her heart beat quickly.
Upon the other side of the pile Of
masonry lay the body of the prisoner.
He lay there as il dead, his face pal
lid as snow, his sinewy arms out
stretched, while the water rippled
round him. Painfully the girl crawled
toward him. She bent over him, and,
as she did so, his eyes opened.
For a moment he stared at her. and
then consciousness returned.
The flood!" he muttered. Where
are they?"
They are all dead" she sobbed
and all at once the sense of desola-
tyranpical though he had been, had
been all she had ever had. And they

nothing more"
That was how he had escaped; as
for those shut up in the' prison, not
one had survived the food. The
same fortunate accident that had
saved him had saved the girl; the
ruins of masonry had held fast and
formed barrier on which the float
ing debris had accumulated.
All day they covered there, and
by nightfall, when the water was
lower, they managed to wade to land.
They had found box of canned
meats, and -four, but little damaged
by the water. While they ate he told
her his story. He had been a trap
per; he had been arrested on a charge
Of burglary, trumped up by a store
keeper with whom he had quarrelled,
and sentenced to two years imprison-
ment. He had served three-fourths
of his time.
Where will you go?" she asked.
Home" he answered simply, point
ing over the mountains. His home
lay there; the plains and forests were
his, and all the boundless prairies
his domain.
He took her by the hand and they
Jared forth like two children. Each
had an infinite faith in the other, for
it takes two to make a home, and
so there was no need for any formal
questioning.

END OF ELKW00D
BY FRANK FILSON.

Et69StNs
Mary Seaton set down her full pail
and stared over the distant hills.
She had lived all her five and TWEEN
ty years in the little, sordid settle
ment in the plains. Ever since child.
hood she had longed to cross the
mountains which seemed to shut her
In and press on her until they became
intolerable.
She knew that beyond them no man
had set foot, except the wandering
traders and trappers of the northwest.
There lay freedom. Perhaps 1t was
from her half-Indian mother that she
inherited this love of freedom. Her
father, the hard-working old Scotch
farmer, had lived in the village for
20 years. He was satisfied with his
lot. He never wanted to go further
nor Joe, either, Joe who, at her IA
Tiers insistence, had wrung from her
and unwilling yes to his suit a
month before.
They were to be married the follow
ing Monday.
Mary" called her father sharply.
What are you doing, lass? Dreaming
again?"
Mary took in the pail and sat down
to the cheerless supper.
The village Of Elkwood lay in a val
ley, just below the new, huge govern
ment dam, now nearing completion,
wherein all the head waters of Rock
river fretted and surged. Soon they
would be led out through score Of
apertures to carry moisture to the
thirsty fields. Mary hated the dam,
because it would mean more self-sat-
isfaction to Elkwood. With the new
prosperity that it would bring there
would be no hope that Joe would ever
take her away.
And she hated the prison, of mason
ry, built at the head of the valley
She hated it because she knew that
it held imprisoned men who longed
for freedom even as she longed for it.

BIRTHPLACE OF INDIVIDUALITY
Men Become Self-ReIiant by Relying
on ThemseIves-Gain Clear
Opinions.

Many great qualities come to their
best in life of comparative isolation.
A big tree, an oak or elm, standing out
in an open field has a toughness Of
fiber, a spread of boughs and round
ness of shape that is never seen in a
tree that stands in the woods. So
people get individuality by being much
alone. They become self-reliant by
relying on themselves. They gain clear
opinions by thinking things over, and
thinking them out to their necessary
conclusions. They acquire inflexibil-
ity Of purpose by facing obstacles and
conquering them. The pioneers of
our country and the fathers Of the
republic were such men. The projec-
tors Of great undertakings carried
through triumphantly have acquired
their power in this way. The country
Is the natural nursery of such quail
ties. People are wanted on the farms
to raise corn and grow stock for the
markets; but they are wanted there
far more for the training of manhood
and womanhood in moral worth, in
religious sensibility, in all the traits
OF a strong, upright personality. In
the future as never heretofore our
cities with their multiplying wealth
and lavish luxury are likely to need
the country for that steady renewal
OF their better life which shall keep
them from relaxing into sensuality
and sinking into decay.

There dwelled all those for whom CIV
ilization meant servitude, men whose
whole lives had been warfare against
this SNUG, self-satisfied society Of the
plains.
There was one mana tall, 1.-THE,
dark-haired fellow, whose eyes seem
ed to her like those of captive eagle
which her father had once possessed.
he was trusty. Sometimes he drove
the prison van down the hill, filed
with its goods of prison making, to
the railroad terminus. She knew that
he was one of those untamed souls
whose home lay on the other side of
the mountains.
After supper Joe came-Joe, with his
smooth, sleek face and air of owner.
ship. He had not courted her-he had
courted her fathers favor, and her
father had given her to Joe.
You'll take Joe, my lass" he said
to her. Hes a good farmer and has
the best land in Elkwood. You'll take
him next month"
Obedience had always been neces-
sary to Mary, because she knew the
futulity of rebellion. There was no
refuge for her. She knew no other
place than Elkwood.
She went to bed and in her dreams
she was with the eagle-eyed man of
the prison. He had saved her from a
crashing world, and they two stood
alone together upon the crests of the
mountains looking northward over the
plains.
This is our home, Mary" he said,
and kissed her.
She started from her sleep. That
crash had been no dream. It seemed
as though the whole universe were
roaring into ruin. There was the
noise Of a hundred avalanches.
She had barely thrust on a few
clothes when her father ran scream
ing to the door.
Mary! Mary!" he yelled. "The
dams burst. God help us! The wa
ter will be here in twenty seconds!"
Mary looked at him in quiet Joy.
The water! That meant the end of
Elkwood, the end of all she feared and
hated. 1t meant death, too, but death
could bring no unhappiness.
Suddenly, with the force OF a bat
tering-ram, the floods smashed down
upon the house, and timber and stone
went crashing into heap of rubble
and splinters. The floor yielded, the
Hoods surged and swirled around her.
Inconsistencies. black, barren, and
all enveloping, took possession Of her.
Yet her last sensation was one or in
difference.
She opened her eyes long afterward.
1t was daylight; the sun was rising
over the plain and touching the tops
of the hills with gold. She was lying
upon q heap Of what had once been
