no team caring to take the trip to Australia. so the cup remained in that country on default.
 Series of 1911.
 England sent it's team to New for the right to challenge Australia. Tn this contest America triumphed four matches to one. Both Larned and Mclaughlin took their two singles contests. In the doubles Dixon and Beamish, of England, took Little and Tom Bundy into camp.
 Mclaughlin, Larned and Beals Wright then took the trip to Australia as the challenging combination. America looked to have a good chance but failed dismally, Brookes and Heath each winning two matches. Larned and Wright being beaten in singles The United States also lost the dou- bles match. Brookes and Dunian downing Mclaughlin and Wright.
 Series of 1912.
 The following year America made no effort to put team into compe- tition for the cup. The British team, however, took the measure of France and sailed for Australia. There un- expectedly the Englishmen recaptured the Davis cup by winning three out of five matches. The feature of these contests was the brilliant play of J. C. Parke, who defeated the great Brookes on his own court and also won from Heath. Dixon beat Heath and lost to the Australians, who won the doubles.
 Series of 1913.
 Back to it's starting point came this famous cup last summer @fter the keenest competition in the his- tory of the matches. In addition to England. the holder. United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Bel gium, South Africa and France had teams in competition, necesstating many trials before the final. Ger many opened the competition by de- feating France three out of four matches. The Australians came to the United states for their trial matches. This country was repre- sented by Maurice Mclaughlin, F. Norris Williams. H. E. Hackett and Wallace Johnson. Mclaughlin first won from Rice in straight sets and Williams took three out of four from Doust. Tn doubles Rice and Hackett defeated Mclaughlin and Hackett three out of five sets. Mclaughlin and Williams then clinched matters by winning single matches.
 The Americans then went to Eng land to meet Germany. Mclaughlin began with a victory over Froitzheim, three out of five sets, and Williams took kruetzer into camp in four sets. M. Mclaughlin and Hackett then added a double victory and Williams and Wallace Johnson single victories. making five straight. This made United States formidable, con- tender.
 Canadians Finalists.
 Meanwhile Canada had disposed of South Africa and Belgium in or- der and worked it's way into the finals against the United States. The

The maid had arranged some sand
wiches and bottle of light wine. She
ate and drank, while Intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger. she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed it out and
laughed aloud
"Oh. if only he had taken me for
ride in the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up, as If In
spired, and dashed into another room,
a study. She came back with pen and
ink. and with a celebrity that came OF
long practice, drew five straight lines
across the faint violet face OF the bank
note Within these lines she made lit
tie dots at the top and bottom Of
stubby perpendicular strokes. and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curves, all of which would
have puzzled an Egyptologist II he
were unused to the ways OF musicians.
Carefully she dried the composition.

day she would confound him by re-
turning 1t.
A little later her fingers were NOV
ing softly over the piano keys; melo-
dies in minor, sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper and would always be her
own; In them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy, from laughter to
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure was forgotten, and
the hero of it, too. With her eyes
closed and her 1.-the body swaying

DAISY FLY KILLER
London Centenarian.

Mrs. Sarah Wadsworth of Penton-
Vile who has died at the age of one
hundred and five years, was born in
Clerkenwell, where her father was a
working jeweler. In 1872 she became
a widow. Save for deafness, which be-
came marked in the last two or three
years of her life, she retained all her
faculties, could read the daily papers
and at intervals saw her lawyer to
consult on business matters. She
recollected being taken out by her
father to see the illumination after
Waterloo, and was present at St
Paul's cathedral at the service held
there after the death Of the Princess
Charlotte, which occurred in 1S11.-

Failure Of Artificial Food.

That it is possible to live on arti-
fetal food, or at least on the concen-
trated extracts Of certain staples, Is
a common belief. and 1t has even
been predicted that some day our
diet will consist of tabloid food. One
might live for a short time in that
unsociable way, but recent invesuga-
ton of diseases like beri-beri. scurvy
and pellagra, which are almost GER
tainly caused by deficiency in the
diet. prove that such life would be
one of disease and could not last
long.
