graduation he had been the heart and
sinew of the university team, and for
the four years following he had coach
ed them, preferring the life Of an
athletic trainer to the career his father
had offered him. And be had done his
chosen work well, his team winning
the days game against great odds.
1t had been a tremendous spectacle.
and when the final whistle blew for
the multitude to come roaring down
across the field. the cohorts had paid
homage to Kirk Anthony. the coach
to whom they knew the honor be-
longed.
Naturally. the newspapers gave ths
young mans story as we'll as history
of the game. They told of his es-
arrangement from his father. of the
Anthony anti-footbaIl bill which the
old man in his rage had driver through
the legislature and up to the governor
himself. Some of them Ayen printed q

The fact was that Kinks associates
were OF a sort to worry any oDServant
parent In particular Anthony senior
was prejudiced against certain Abel
bert Higgins who. of course, was his
sons boon companion, admirer, aid and
abettor. This young gentleman was
lean. horse faced senior. whose I'M
broken solennity of manner had more
than once led strangers to mistake
him for a divinity student. though
closer acquaintance proved him wholly
immoral and rattle Drained.
1t was Higgins this evening who.
after the ''cripples" had deserted and
the supper party had dwindled to per-
haps half dozen. proposed to make a
night of it. beginning with a visit to
the Austrian Village. The college men
selected a table and, shouldering the
occupants aside without ceremony,
seated themselves and pounded for a
waiter.
Padden, the proprietor, came toward
them. and after greeting Anthony and
Higgins by a shake of his left hand,
ducked his round gray head in ac-
acknowledgement of an Introduction to
the others.
Glad you dropped in" Mr.. Padden
assured them. Anything you boys
want and can't get let me know"
When he had gone Higgins averred:
There's a fine man-peaceful, refined
got lovely character too. Let's be
gentlemen while we're in his place."
Ringold rose. I'm going to dance.
fellows" he announced. and his com
panions followed him. with the excep-
ton of the cadaverous Higgins. who
maintained that dancing was a pas
time for the frivolous and weak.
When they returned to their table
they found a stranger was seated with
him. who rose as Higgins made him
known.
Boys, meet my old friend, Mr.. JEFF
ferson Locke of St Louis He's all
right"
The college men treated this new re-
cruit with a hilarious cordiality. to
which be responded with the air of

one quite accustomed to such reunions

he explained when the greetings were
over. land recognized you chaps when
you came in. I'm a football fan my
self. just got into town this morn
ing. and I'm sailing tomorrow.

having a little blowout on my own
account. When | recognized you all

some place for stranger. Hope yon
don't mind my joining you"
Not at all!' he was assured
When he came to pay the waiter he
displayed a roll of yellow backed bills
that caused Anthony to caution him
Locke only laughed. There's more
where this came from. However. that's
one reason I'd like to stick around
with you fellows. | have an idea I've
been followed. and / don't care to be
tapped on the head If you will let
me trail along III foot the bills. That's
a fair proposition"
"Oh, come now" Anthony struck in.
You're more than welcome to stay
with us if you like, but we can't let
you put up for it.
The stranger, despite his avowedly
festive spirit, showed a certain reserve.
When the music again struck up he
declined to dance, preferring to remain
with Higgins in their inconspicuous
corner.
There's a fine fellow" the latter re
marked, following his best friends fig
ure with his eyes, when he and Locke
were once more alone. Sweet ma

Anthony? Yes. he looks it,
He's got just two faults. | always

lazy-wont work"
He doesn't have to work His old
man has plenty of coin. hasn't hep
Yes, and he'll keep it too Heart
less old wretch!'
The dancers came crowding up to
the table ut the moment. and Ringold
suggested loudly: I'm hungry. Let's
eat again"
Il just fixed it with Padden for a
private room upstairs" Anthony said.
"All the cafes are closed now. and
this is the best place in town for chick
en- creole anyhow"
Accordingly be led the way. and the
rest filed out after him. But as they
left the ballroom a medium sized man
who had recently entered from the
street caught a glimpse of them. Gran

idled along behind.
Anthony played the part of host
more lavishly. Mr.. Locke, however. in
sisted that his friends should partake

of and with this in view had a conf

he unostentatiously handed a five dol

The meal was at it's n0iSieSt when

ously tipped spoke to him quietly fits
companions were too well occupied
however, to notice this byplay even
when the waiter continued in a low
tone.
