One department OF Wheeling's of.
Tense which has had little publicity is
the punting OF Stewart In this he is
the best man that High has had since
the days Of Russ" Goodwin. While
his punts do not carry as far as other

When II was reported the latter
part OF last week that there was a
marked improvement in the work OF
the local high school eleven. many
were inclined 10 wonder II this was
true or only means OF boosting Sat
urday's attendance at the Parkersburg
game. To the several hundred fans
who were present on the Island the
report proved TO be a very pleasant
truth
While the play OF the locals was by
no means perfect. there was such an
Improvement over the work in the
Huntington game two weeks ago that
even the most conservative pessimist
could easily become elated. This was
particularly true in regard to the open
game. Wheeling's forward passing
was the best exhibition that the locals
have offered this season. In the
Huntington game only one or two out
OF the several tries were successful.
while Saturday only a small number
proved failures
The work OF the line has through
out the season been more satisfac-
tory than that OF the backs. but in the
Parkersburg game its showing was
stu better. Whenever the heavy
Wood county backs were sent against
the lighter forwards, they were almost
without exception thrown for small
gains and in a number OF cases stop-
ped dead on the line. No section OF
the local forward combination seemed
superior in REFUSING the onslaughts
OF the visitors. II being tight al All
places
Able 20 Deliver.
Another feature that IL highly graf
flying TO the Old Gold and Blue sup
porters was the ability OF the locals TO
take the ball over when near their
opponents goal. Time and again in
the game at Marietta they would
work the ball to the five yard line but
fail 10 cross the chalk. This weak .
ness was entirely absent Saturday and
when the pigskin was in striking dis

livered.

! But very little way on he changed
his mind. Stopping the cab, he paid
the driver well, alighted, and followed
| at some distance behind the careful
players brisk figure. They walked into
Oxford street, and here an incident oc-
CURED notable to Sir William Williams.
A constable touched his helmet to the
object of the baronet's interest. A lit
tie further down, crossing the Circus,
the constable on point duty found time
for a similar attention. Sir William
hailed another taxicab, and arrived in
few minutes at a block of flats in
Tottenham Court road. Here he dis
missed the cab, ascended in the lift, and
inquired for one Bourbon.
A small man, commonplace save for
an extraordinarily tenacious mouth and
rapt eyes, received him with:
Can l do anything for you, sir? Or
have you not made mistake?"
Not at all" the young man replied.
At the timbre of his voice, rocked
with laughter, Bourbon started and
looked at him closely.
The monocled man laid another card
on the table. Bourbon read, "Sir Will
lam Williams" =.

He did. Give me a little help"
When, at length, with the aid of cold
cream and hot water, he emerged smil-
ing from the wonder of a Clarkson
makeup, Charles Captain sat down.
Bourbon looked at him meditatively.
The young man hitched up one trou-
ser knee after the other, and ficked
a grain of dust from his sleeve with
care. These trivialities irritated the
London commander of that great GRIM
inal gang with the high motive, the
Hundreds and Thousands.

Without question:"

The young man bade the commander
good night and left him. He stepped
out into a summer night full of love-
illness even in the Tottenham Court road.
Back in the Piccadilly chambers, he or
dered sandwiches and soda water ;
switched off his lights; sank into a
deep chair by the open window; filed
wcll-loved briar, and looked out into
the dark mystery of the Green Park.
His thoughts dwelt on many things,
but mainly on white-robed girl sitting
imperially upon a green divan; of a
hand-small, soft, intensely feminine !;
of a kiss. Insisting that they should
leave her, he brought the thoughts to
the business in hand-a summary of a
certain situation.

D. W. w. Cook, the present owner and mayor of the town has tired of the job and wants to sell out to some other more desirous of political honors. Saunders sprung up almost in a night when the St, Paul railroad crossed Cooks farm. A station was established there and shortly after ward two grain elevators arose and later followed a couple of stores. As Cook retained title to the land, he became the duly recognized mayor and his title will fall upon his successor.
