pion of America and a member of the
team that brought back to this coun-
try last summer the Davis information
al trophy. discredits published reports
that British tennis authorities desire
to change the rules for future inter-

who have Il similar style. He does
not believe that British players wish
to require a player to touch his foot to.
the ground after each service before
rushing to the net.
Such a rule would slow down Nc
Loughlin's play materially, for he is
essentially Il net player, and the fore
most Englishmen are back court play
ers. Mclaughlin follows a smashing
service with a rush to the net.
Such players as Wallace +. johnson
of Philadelphia and Parke and Wild
ing, the English cracks. might be in
favor Of the proposed foot fault" rule.
Mclaughlin is willing to concede. but
he is confident the support Of two
thirds of the nations in the interna-
tional agreement, necessary to amend
the rules. cannot be obtained.

Crossed
They Brought a Sur
prise on the Good
Saints Day
By MACKIE

IF l had known you could be so
hateful" Milly Telford had sobbed.
IF l had only known you had such
a Waspish temper" Harry Blake had
hotly retorted.
And that was the beginning Of the
few bitter words that ended their en-
gagement.
So Milly FASTENED to pack her trunk
and run away to Fern Hollow, where
her Aunt Amelia Telford lived the
quiet, uneventful days Of a New Eng-
land spinster.
Broken your engagement to Harry
Blake" echoed Aunt Amelia when
Milly had made confession.
YES" sighed Milly. And, Aunt
Amelia, I'm so thankful that 1 discov-
cred my mistake in time"
81 hope. dear, that you won't regret
it." said Aunt Amelia, with a troubled
expression in her sweet blue eyes,.
Il shall! And. Aunt Amelia"
added Milly brightly, Pm never going
to marry. I'm going to spend my days
a happy, care free spinster like you".
Aunt Amelia went away without a
word. and if Milly had followed she
would have seen the little woman look
ing wistfully across the valley at the
red chimneys of an old graystone
house set against the wintry hillsides.
If she had had more faith in the lover
of her youth that graystone house
would have been her home today.
Poor child-poor foolish child!' she
murmured sadly, and one could not tell
whether she pitied her niece Milly or
the spirit Of her own lost youth.

The window Of the little stationery

Milly's breath came faster as the
tender missives stared her in the face.
Il forgot it was st. Valentines day.
she murmured, with an odd little laugh.

Mr.. Ware rep1Ovingly.
Milly laughed lightly. There are so
many things to think about" she apol-
ogized. Then. having purchased her
pencils, she fingered, looking over the
valentines. If she had not quarreled
with Harry-why, she would undoubt-
edly be selecting a valentine for him
and he would send her some ridicu-
lousy sweet remembrance of the day
and she would pretend that she could
not guess the sender.
1T isn't too late to buy some now,
Miss Milly." wheedled Mr.. Ware across
the counter. "'Tain't Valentines day

"I1l take some of these cute little
hearts," said Milly. 1--WE quite forgot

While Mr.. Ware slipped the hearts
into envelopes ready for direction,
Milly lowered over a dainty satin val
entine on which was painted a wreath
of f~orgetmenots, and within the wreath
was a verse lettered in gold:
Though bitter pride holds us apart.
Thy image fingers in my heart.
1t seemed to be a verse written for
estranged lovers. Milly Telford's heart
beat quickly as she took out her purse
and paid for the white satin valentine.

has simply strengthened that

his good fortune to have Miss

never know the moral support
she gave us In our work. 1t was
as natural and unpremeditated
as human influence could be, but
it was effective. Her sweet char

"Old Charlie" for twenty years a ia
miliar figure along the southwestern
section of the Sunset route, and known
to Southern Pacific trainmen every
where, is dead. much TO the grief OF
those who knew him. He was known
by no other name, and his real identity
will probably always be shrouded in
mystery
s'Old Charlie' was mentally deficient
in many ways, but he had keen eye
for track trouble, and while not en-
ployed by the Southern Pacific, per-
formed voluntarily and diligently the
work of track walker on continuous
journey that usually found him some
where between Ell Paso and Yuma. He
was known to members of every train
crew, station agent. and practically all
the section crews in the southwest. and
everyone did his best TO tighten the bur-
dens of his life For twenty years he
took the railroad under his care. and
and scores of times has inspected block
signals and roadbed. all the time send
ing in painstaking, and what to his
mind were essential, reports on condi-
tions as he saw them. The management
received them in the spirit in which he
sent them, and good humoredly thanked
him for his efforts.
Whenever "Old Charlie" chose to en-
ter railroad restaurant he got a good
meal. and trsinmen were lenient when
he wanted a lift in his weary trip across
the country Recently his health began
to fail and although many wanted to
look out for him in some substantial
way, he refused all help and Indignantly
insisted that he must keep on with his
work OF inspection.
A few days ago dead body was
found near the right Of way four miles
east of Benson. 1t had been mutilated
by coyotes. A closer inspection showed
it to be that of 'Old Charlie"

SOME NATURALIST.

Supervisor Grandiean of the
Boise National Forest has added
greatly to natural history sci
ence by identifying a pelt recent
ly received in Boise as the skin OF
a raccoon Added to his other
accomplishments Mr. Grandjean
is a specialist on animal skins"
although not raised in Missouri
According to MIR Grandjean this
animal doesn't exist north OF
Mexico ana southern California,
this being the first record OF an
exception. However, if he will
come down to Parma and visit
Sherman's garage he will find
one of the finest coonskins ever
captured, tackled up on the door,
just like we used to fix them in
Champ Clark's state 1t was
captured by the Parma coyote
hunters club on a recent raid.
Also, he can find about 100
Parma citizens who will tell him
that, although not plentiful, the
raccoon is common to Owyhee
and Canyon counties. We knew
that Mr.. Grandiean was a spe-
cIallst in the skin game before,
but we didn't know that his
knowledge extended to raccoons.
