the Red and Bue Ave. which presented
a changed lineup. showed that they had

halstead was easily the star OF the
Cornell team. scoring two difficult Re q
goals. besides laying 10 out OF II tries

The result OF the game was uncertain
until the last minute Of play. The hrs,

for the beginning Of the secos d half Capt.
Seelbach Gagged difficult field goal and
tied the score. From this time on the

During the last half the Cornell for

"But what else could do? You see, the
girl threw me over" he urged in comic dis
tress.
"As if girls were all!"
"Still, they do count for something, you
know" he insisted, as he held out the coat
for her to slip into. "They're not the whole
show, of course; but then haven't been
altogether idle up here In the woods. It
isn't bad place for naturalist to hang out

She was too embarrassed by her blunder
even to apologize; and he continued cheer
fully: eff you'd been naturalist yourself,
you might have seen few signs of my oc-

She recovered herself enough to say: "But
being only girl-well, I take back what I
said. Stay hermit if you like. Where's
Timon? / want to say good-by to him.
Poor little Bear, did break um's chair and

But Timon only opened one eye to her
caresses, with sound that seemed equiva-

alone-he's hopeless. He doesn't know a

With that, he stepped out into the twi-
light with bis lantern. The cynic went
crashing ahead through the underbrush;
and the girl picked her way over the sodden
leaves as fast as she could follow.
Are you sure you know the way1" she
asked, and then there was no more speech
between them, for the need of keeping clear
of wet brambles and wSyside pools, until
they came out upon the road, and saw the
lake cleaning between the ranks of trees

spoke-"while the Three Bears eat their

"Why, what did you Think" she asked,
in frank surprise.

II am a summer visitor myself" she
teased.
