Louise tried to scream aloud
Her throat was parched. If shs
could only awaken Mary! The
man lifted his arm. He had some.
thing in his hand. Its terrible inn
port broke the spell of hei
speechlessness.
MARY. Nary"
She thought she shrieked. In
really, she gasped out a broken
whisper; but it thrilled so with
terror and pleading that Mary
was awakened on the instant. As
her feet touched the floor, a pistol
shot rang out, close by. She had
no need for explanations. The
shot was enough. Swiftly and ST.
lently, she seized her revolver
from the bureau, glided to the
window, and fired three times in
rapid succession, the reports
mingling with the sound of shat
tered glass.
IL think l hit him the second
time, Louise" she said,' with
dull calm. 81 can't be sure"
She lighted lamp and began
to dress mechanically. Louise
stayed not to answer. In the hall
she encountered Paul Langford,
just as another shot rang out.
Go back, Miss Dale" he cried,
hurriedly but peremptorily. You
mustn't come. l am afraid there
has been foul play"
She looked at him. 1t hurt, that
look.
HE is dead" she whispered.
81 am going to him." and glided
away from his OBTAINING hand
He hurried after her. Others
had been aroused by the nearness
Of the pistol shots. Doors were
thrown open. Putting his arm
around the trembling girl, Lang
ford fastened across the street
with her. At the door of Gordon's
office, he paused.
81 will go in first, Louise. You
stay here"
He spoke authoritatively; but
she slipped in ahead of him. Her
arms fell softly over the bowed
shoulders. Langford opened the
door.
Someone send Doc over here
quick! Gordon's CsSice," he cried,
in a loud, firm voice. Then he
closed the door and locked 1t.
He fastened back to the side of
his friend. Disappointed in their
desire to get in, men crowded be-
fore the window. Louise stepped
softly forward and drew the blind
between him and the mass of Gu
rious faces without. She was very
pale, but quiet and self-possessed.
The doctor raped loudly, calling
to Langford to open. Paul admit
ted him and then stepped out In
full sight of all.
Boys" he cried, a great grief
In his stern voice, "Dick Gordon's
murdered. Now get-you know
what for--and be quick about it,"
They laid him gently on the
floor, took off his coat, and cut
away the blood-soaked shirts.
Louise assisted with deft, tender
hands. Presently, the heavy lids
lifted, the gray eyes stared va
cantly for moment then
smiled. Paul bent over him.
What happened, old mani"
the wounded man whispered
groupingly. II required much eff
fort to say this little, and a shad-
ow of pain fell over his face.
Hush, Dick, dear boy" said
Langford, with catch in his
voice. You're all right now. but
you mustn't talk. You're too
weak. We are going to move YOU
across to the hotel"

Generals May Race the
Hopkins Team Here

Manager Flanagan announced last night
that he is trying to bring about half
mile relay race between Johns Hopkins
and Washington and Lee for the Hill
toppers meet next Saturday. and a race
of such a distance between two such
formidable colleges should prove to be
one of great interest. Washington and
Lee during the past few years has come
rapidly to the front I'm all branches of
athletics, especially in football. where its
many victories and its wonderful game
against Cornell stamped 1t as a foe to
be reckoned with.
II appears that she is not content with
football recognition alone, for reports
from Lexington make known that the
Generals are primed in all departments
of track for competition with the wor-
thiest foe.
While Hopkins is always represented
with formidable track teams, little is
known of her worth in such an event as
mentioned above. 1t is known, however,

Gives Them Victory Over Vir-
ginians by 81 to % Score.

The Gallaudet College basketball
quint took a fall out OF the Virginia
Polys last night in the Kendell Green
gym, 81 to %. The result hangs on the
fact that Willman. guard of the Ken
dell Green team held down EngIeby
the crack forward and best element of
the visitors, and although several points
separated the two teams at the finish
Willman's work was the main cause.
Engleby got three baskets, one on Will

The locals started things agoing by
letting Keeley shoot two goals from
