T. HI. S. Foot Ball Team

The Tupelo High foot ball team
is getting some good practice
under the coaching of FREQ
Rawls. Several Of the old faces
are seen in their foot ball togs
again this year, while there is
also a good number of new can
dldates for the team. There are
about Is trying for positions on
the team and there is quite a
good deal Of friendly rivalry for
the different positions.
The team has just gotten a
new ball and the whole team
will have complete uniforms,
which will make it look good in
action and also make it so the
players can distinguish their own
men. The jerseys will be a navy
blue with white stripes around
the sleeves and a four.inch T on
the breast. The pants are regu-
lation foot ball pants and the
stockings a navy blue.
The team will play Baldwin
High at Baldwin in a few days
and will play Amory High here
Oct. 9 and Okolona High here on
Oct. Is.
These games will be played at
the fair grounds and we hope for
a good crowd at every game to
encourage the players and also
help to defray the expenses of
getting the teams here. If you
will come out we will show you
some clean, interesting foot ball
and also how to win.

CHAPTER II.
There lie a Woman?

Anger, curiosity, interest; these SEN
sations blanketed one another quickly,
leaving only interest, which was
saw pretty woman. 1t did not re-
quire very keen scrutiny on his part
to arrive swiftly at the conclusion that
this one was not quite in the picture.
Her cheeks were not red with that
redness which has permanency of
tone, neither waxing nor waning,
abashed in daylight. Nor had her lips
found their scarlet moisture from out
the depths of certain little porcelain
boxes. Decidedly she was out of place
here, yet she evinced no embarrass-
ment; she was cool, at ease. Court
landt's interest strengthened.
why do you think l am lonely,
mademoiselle he asked, without
smiling.
"Oh, when one talks to ones self,
strikes the table, wastes good wine,
the inference is but natural. So, mon
sieur is lonely"
Her lips and eyes, as grave and
smileless as his own, puzzled him. An
adventure? He looked at some Of the
other women Those he could under
stand, but this one, no. At all times
he was willing to smile, yet to draw
her out he realized that he must pre-
serve his gravity unbroken. The stu
alton was not usual. His gaze came
back to her.

me?" she asked.
at is. What is loneliness?" he de-
manded cynically.
"Ah, could tell you," she answered.
1T is the longing to be with the one
we love; 1t is the hate of the wicked
things we have done; 1t is remorse."
"That echoes of the Ambigu-Com-
ique."
would you spare me glass of
wine? am thirsty"
He struck his hands together, bit
of orientalism he had brought back
with him. The observant waiter in.
stantly came forward with glass.

Courtlandt was not in the most
amiable condition of mind, and a hint
of the ribald would have instantly
transformed a passive anger into
blind fury. Thus, scene hung pre-
cariously; but its potentialities be-
came as nothing on the appearance of
another woman.
This woman was richly dressed, too
richly. She was followed by a Rus
sian, huge of body, Jovian of counte-
nance. An expensive car rolled up to
the curb. A liveried footman jumped
down from beside the chauffeur and
opened the door, The diva turned
her head this way and that, a thin
smile of satisfaction stirring her lips.
For Flora Desimone loved the human
eye whenever 1t stared admiration into
her own; and she spent half her days
setting traps and lures, rather sue
cessfully. She and her formidable es-
cort got into the car which immedi-
ately went away with a soft purring
sound. There was breeding in the en-
CINE, anyhow, thought Courtlandt, who
longed to put his strong fingers around
that luxurious throat which had, but
second gone. passed him so closely.
He turned down the Rue Royale, on
the opposite side, and went into the
Taverne Royale, where the patrons
we're not over particular in regard to
the laws of fashion, and where certain
ladies with light histories sought
further adventures to add to their
heptamerons. Now, Courtlandt thought
neither of the one nor of the other. He
desired isolation, safety from intru-
sion; and here, did he so signify, he
could find It. He sat down at vacant
table and ordered a pint of champagne,
drinking hastily rather than thirstily
Would monsieur like anything to
eat7
No, the wine was sufficient.
Courtlandt poured out second glass
slowly. The wine dubbed up to the
brim and overlooked. He had been
looking at the glass with unseeing
eyes. He set the bottle down impa-
tiently. Fool! To have gone to Bur
ma, simply to stand in the golden
temple once more, in vain, to recall
that other time; the starving kitten
held tenderly in woman's arms, his
own scurry among the booths to find
the milk 80 peremptorily ordered. and
the smile of thanks that had been his
reward! He had run away when he
should have hung on. He should have
fought every inch of the way. .
Monsieur is lonely?"
A pretty young woman sat down be-
fore him in the vacant chair

At the Stage Door.


I" ,ourtlandt sat perfectly straight;
his ample shoulders did not touch the
back of his chair; and his arms were
folded tightly across his chest. The
characteristic of his attitude was
tenseness. The nostrils were we'll de-
fined, as in one who sets the upper
jaw hard upon the neither. His brown
eyes-their gaze directed toward the
stage whence came the voice of the
prima donna-epitomize the tension,
expressed the whole as in a word.
Just now the voice was pathetically
subdued, yet reached every part of the
auditorium, kindling the ear with It's
singularly mellowing sweetness. To
Courtlandt 1t resembled, as no other
sound. the note of muffled Burmese
gong, struck in the dim incensed cav
ern of temple. A Burmese gong:
briefly and magically the stage, the
audience. the amazing CLEAN and scin-
tillation of the Opera, faded. He
heard only the voice and saw only
the purple shadows in the temple at
Rangoon. the oriental sunset splash
ing the golden dome, the wavering
lights of the dripping candles, the dead
flowers, the kneeling devotees, the
yellow-robed priests, the tatters of
gold-leaf. fresh and old, upon the rows
of placid grinning Buddhas. The
French horns blared and the timpani
crashed. The curtain sank slowly.
The audience rustled, stood up, sought
its wraps, and passed toward the ex-
It's and the grand staircase. 1t was
all over.
Courtlandt took his leave in leisure.
Here and there he saw familiar faces,
but these, after the finding glance, he
studiously avoided. He wanted to be
alone. Outside he lighted cigar, not
because at that moment he possessed
a craving for nicotine, but because like
all inveterate smokers he believed that
tobacco conduced to clarity of thought.
And mayhap it did. At least, there
presently followed a mental calm that
expelled all this confusion. The goal
waxed and waned as he gazed down
the great avenue with its precise rows
of lamps. Far away he could discern
the outline of the brooding Louvre.
There was not the least hope in the
world for him to proceed toward his

She lifted the wine-glass again, and
then he noticed her hand. 1t was
large, white and strong; it was not
the hand of woman who dallied, who
idled in primrose paths.

DEPoRTED A TW0-YEAR-oLD
Governor of Russian Town of Kursk,
Sent Baby Away With Strong
Escort of Soldiers.

A baby was arrested and by means
of a formidable-looking order, properly
signed, sealed and delivered, the gov
ernor of the town of Kursk, in central
Russia, has made himself sufficiently
ridiculous to insist upon the solemn
deportation, under a stern escort of
armed soldiers, of an innocent two
year-old baby boy The child is the
son of a Jewish dentist. M. Kohan.
The latter, with his wife, was ordered
to leave the town a few days ago.
The couple complied with the order,
but left their infant son with friends,
as he was in too delicate a state of
health to travel during the cold
weather. Under the pretext that Jew
ish children must not live without
their parents outside a certain pre-
scribed area, the jealous police ar
rested the baby and ordered the
friends of M. Kohan to take immediate
steps to send the boy away. M.
Kohan's friends asked for a delay so
that they might communicate with
the parents, but the governor ordered
the baby to be sent away under an
armed escort comprised of soldiers
with fixed bayonets. This implies
travelling with criminals in rough
conveyances and sleeping in prisons
en- route until the infant reaches his
| parents.

Inherited Character.

It has been explained that character
and behavior of all organic matter,
plants as we'll as animals and human
beings, is determined by what are
known as character units. Thus in
taking a hypothetical case of the
shrewd. cruel father and the shiftless
kind mother, we have four distinct
character units. which through inheri
lance reappear variously grouped in
the offspring.

to make a night of it-Maxim's. the

two puffs OF his cigar. Ten years
