Columns were written this time

find two such matter-of-fact leaders

classic.
Manager Moran Ind a supersti-

only time In his life that he believed
in anything of this sort. His SUI
perstition was that il would cost

luck to the team. For the worlds

to Inez. and had started back to his
training station with a definite pur-
pose in view. Once arrived there, he
handed the crumpled slip Of paper
to the officer In command and told
his story.
But all this went on unknown to
Hernandez. He had not missed the
scrap of paper.
Half an hour later on a wharf In
Newport there drew up a very cap
able little motor boat. Inez and her
young friend. Annette Ilington,l
boarded her. Inez gave a signal and
the launch plunged her nose into the
sea.
For half an hour or so everything
went well.
But suddenly above the chugging
of the exhaust Annette heard a
