Some method may be adopted by the
United States Government to discour-

OF sending abroad consignments OF
goods not up to the standard and which
may hinder the extension OF oversee $
trade.

consul at Genoa In which the latter
called attention to the unsatisfactory
condition of grain shipments to that

took occasion to 3ay:

Schoolboy football teams will

intercity clash today. This year
Washington and Baltimore are get

the margin SO far is much in favor
of the Washington schools.

work. Coach Green's lads are pretty

Business had many chances to score
and Central had a few. but the Stenog-
raphers had a dependable ground gamer
from quick shift which delivered con-
sistently against Centrars inexperienced

The Stenosraphers seemed to grow as
the game progressed finding greater
power after Central had scored In the
opening period until with n well knit
unit and a racer in Keech who took ad-
vantage Of the holes in the spread de-
tense and worked through for from two
to ten yards at a clip.
Central's touchdown was obtained
early in the first period. A tumble after
the kickor gave Central the ball and

CHAPTER Vll-Continued.

At night, however, she was obliged
to admit that he could not be coming;
and then, quvering with honest anxi-
ETY. for her old friend, Blossy dipped
into her emergency fund, which she
kept in the heart of little pink china
pig on shelf in her room--a pink
china pig with a lid made Of stiff
black hair standing on edge in the
middle of his back-and sent tele-
gram to Captain Darby, asking If he
were sick
The answer came back slowly by
mail. to find Blossy on the verge Of
a nervous collapse, under the care Of
all the women. in the house.
That letter Blossy never showed to
Brother Abe. nor to any one else
Neither did she treasure 1t In the SEN
timental trunk beneath the attic caves
The letter ran:
Dear Betsy Ann I never felt better in
my lie. Amt been sick a minute. Just
made up my mind I was old fool. and
was going to quit. II you change your in
l"ntioEs at any time Just drop me pos
' sNM,i. M DARBY, ESQ.
This, Captain Darby, makes your
rejection final" vowed Blossy to her,
self. as she tore the note into frag-
mcnts and drowned them in the spir-
its of lavender with which the sisters
had been seeking to soothe her dis
tracted nerves.

of the winter passed without any Sc
we're strain on the "buttonholes." And
at length the welcome spring began to
peep forth, calling to the old folks.
Come out. and grow young with the
young year!"
With the bursting forth OF the new
springtide the winters talk seemed to
drop as a withered and dead oak leaf
falls from its winter-bound branches;
and Abe stood once more alive to the
blessings Of renewed approval
Angy went out Of doors with Miss
Abigail, and puttered around among
the flowers as If they were her own,
thanking God for Abe's increasing pop
ularity in the same breath that she
gave thanks for the new buds of the
spring.
The anniversary OF the Roses en-
trance into the Home drew nearer, and
Blossy suggested that the best way
to celebrate the event would be by
means of pink tea."
Neither Angy nor Abe, nor in fact
half the sisters, had any clear concep-
tion of what a tinted function might
be; but they one and all seized upon
Blossy's idea as II it were a veritable
inspiration. and for the time jealousies
were forgotten. misunderstanding
erased.
Such preparations as were made for
that tea! The deaf-and-dumb gar.
dener was sent with a detachment of
small boys to fetch from the wayside
and meadows armfuls Of wild roses
for the decorations. Miss Abigail
made pink icing for the cake. Ruby
Lee hung bleeding-hearts over the
dining-room door. Aunt Nancy resur-
rected from the bottom OF her trunk
white lace cap with a rakis.I-1ooking
pink bow for an adornment, and .tas-
tened 1t to her scant gray hairs in
honor Of the occasion. Blossy turned
her pink china pig, his lid left upstairs,
into sugar bowl.
Pink, pink, pink, everywhere; even
In Angy's proud cheeks! Pink, and
pink, and pink! Abe used to grow
dizzy, afterward, trying to recall the
various pink articles which graced
that tea,
Cheyenne record., 1915-03-11
CHAPTER VIII.
The Anniversary.

About this time Blossy developed a
tendency to draw Brother Abraham
aside at every opportunity. convenient
or inconvenient. in order to put such
questions as these to him:
Didn't you say 1t is fully thirty-five
years since you and Captain Darby
were on the beach together? Do you
think he has grown much older? Had
he lost his hair then? Did he care
for the opposite sex? Was he very
brave--or would you say more brave
than stubborn and contrary? Isn't it
a blessing that | never married him 2"
Fearful of the ridicule of the sisters,
Blossy was always careful to conduct
these inquiries in whispers, or at least
in undertones with a great observance
of secrecy, sometimes stopping Abe on
the stairs, sometimes beckoning him
to her side when she was busy about
her hoGschold tasks on the pretense Of
requiring his assistance. On one oc-
Casion she even went so far as to in
veigle him into holding skein Of
wool about his clumsy hands, while
she wound the violet worsted into q
ball. and delicately inquired if he be-
lieved Samuel spoke the truth when
he protested that he had never paid
court to any other woman
Alas. Blossy's frequent tete-a-tetes
with the amused but sometimes impa-
tient Abraham started an exceedingly
foolish suspicion. When, asked the
sisters Of one another. did Abe ever
help any one. save Blossy, shell dried
beans or pick over prunes? When had
he ever been known to hold wool for
Angy's winding? Not once since
wooing time. l warrant you. What
could this continual hobnobbing and
going off into corners mean. except
6lrtation2
Ruby Lee whispered 1t first into

start.

KNEW HOW TO VALUE BOOK |
Petrarch's Acknowledgment Of Gift a
Proof That Present Had Been
WorthIy Placed

In the year 1854 Boccaccio present.
ca to his friend Petrarch a copy Of
Saint Augustines commentary on
the Psalms" The poet thereupon
sent to the author Of the "Decameron,"
letter written in Latin-part OF
which may be translated thus:
You have overwhelmed me with Joy
by present magnificent and rare.
Henceforth l shall swim more surely
on the sea Of David. Into the midst
Of this troubled sea you have sent me
a very sturdy ship and a clever pilot,
Saint Augustine, whose genius Is d.

self: 'Laziness, get thee behind me;

But whisper, whisper, buzz, buzz,
went the gossip until finally 1t reached
the pink little ears at the side OF
Miss Abigail's generously proportioned
head. The pink ears turned crimson,
likewise the adjoining cheeks. and
Miss Abigail painted with righteous in
dignation.
1T all comes OF this plagued old
winter time," she declared, sharply
biting her thread, for she was mend
ing tablecloth. "Shet the winders on
summer, an yew ketch the tail OF
slander in the latch every time. Naow,

foolishness comm to Angy's ears, or
Brother Abe's, or Blossy's either, fer
that matter, we'll all have to eat off'n
oil-cloth Sundays, the same as week
days, until I see a more Christian
sperit in the house."
She gave the Sunday damask across
her lap pat which showed she was
in earnest; and the rebuked sisters
glanced at one another, as II to say:
Suppose the minister should walk
In some Sabbath afternoon and find
oil-cloth on the table, and ask the rea-
son why?"
They one and all determined to take
Aunt Nancys advice and sew a but.
ton on their lips"
Fortunately, too, the February thaws
had already set in, and the remainder
