from both men indicated that neither
had any further hope of lettering his
hand the uptiung cards showed a pair
of aces in Kynaston's hand against
four jacks in Upton's.
The next two hands broke even.
Thus the end of the fourth deal found
each man with two chips to his credit
The sweat was fairly streaming down
their faces. Both bore unmistakable
token of mental strain in the tense
lines about the corners of their
mouths.
Once Upton made 4 misdeal. He
swore softly.
Just then the door opened. The
two women entered.

dy?"
Just to pass the time, daughter.
Run on out, you and Marion. We
have been talking over some matters
you wouldn't understand"
The girl passed her hands loving
~ over the old miners sparse hair.
The light in her eyes told Kynaston
what the loss of her father would
mean to Dorothy. Then suddenly It
came to him that he was playing the
fourth hand, and that on the upshot
of this one hand 1t depended whether
or not that light should dawn again
In Dorothy Uptons eyes.
He bit his lips till the blood came
and ran down, a salty trickle, into his
mouth. Upton looked at Kynaston
grimly as he flung the fifth card into
the widow and settled himself to play
his hand.
Patience and shufle the cards,
as the Spaniards say. Wait a bit,
Kynaston."

ment and shakingly lit cigarette

CHAPTER VI.
The Death Game.


The faces of the advancing revo

come out of the mesquit and had laid
the body of the dead man upon a sad
die blanket, which they were carrying
slowly toward their own lines.

NorthWes stern.

NEW YORK, July 15. - Although another two months must elapse be- fore the candidates for the eastern varsity football teams begin to as- semble for gridiron practice, coaches and managers are already preparing for the coming pigskin campaign. Footballs are being distributed among the players for use during the vaca- tion period, and those who will have charge of the squads are taking stock of the material available for big au- tumn drives on lime scored fields.
 In the case of at least two of the big university squads this preliminary activity is made necessary as a result of complete changes in the coaching system and personnel for the coming season. Both Pennsylvania and Yale will enter the football arena this fall with a new coaching corps in charge of the teams. and the playing of the elevens under these mentors will be watched with more than the usual in terest by both those affiliated with these universities and the general football fan.
 At Yale Tad Jones, who signed a three year contract last winter, will be head coach. He will be assisted by Trainer Mike Sweeney; Arthur Brides, and several other well known Yale players of the past, with Walter Camp occupying his old time position of ad- visory coach and strategist. Jones, it is hoped by Yale men, will prove to be the Moses to lead the Eli football clan into the land of gridiron victor les, place which the Blue has seen

but from afar in recent years.
 Pennsylvania Is fin somewhat of a similar position, and has selected Robert Folwell as the coach to bring again to Franklin Field the gridiron glory which in former years was as- sociated with the Red and Blue elev- ems. Folwell, like Jones, has some ex- cellent material to begin work with, and will be assisted by Charley Whar- ton and By. Dickson, as we'll as other former Quaker players of repute. If Folwells record as coach at Lafayette and Washington and Jefferson can be taken as criterion, Pennsylvania will be a gridiron opponent to be treated with great respect during 1916.
 At the other leading eastern insti- tutions where football is accorded strong support, there will be little change in either the coaching staffs or the system in vogue during the past few years. Percy Haughton will not be able to devote his entire time to the Harvard squad during the early 1 portion of the autumn, because his duties as president of the Boston Ma l tional League baseball club will re- 1 quire much of his attention until about the middle of October. Leo l Leary is expected to do much of the preliminary coaching, assisted by i Charley Brickley and other Harvard stars of yesteryear.
 Speedy" Rush will again be in charge of the Princeton football des' i tiny, assisted by a larger squad oi graduates than was the case a season ago. This will be rush's second year ] with the Tugers, and judging from | the progress the team made under his instruction last fall, the Tigers should be formidable on the gridiron this au tumn. At Cornell pr. Al Sharpe will face the task of developing another Red and White team capable of play ing a game along the lines of Cornell's championship eleven in 1915. Dart mouth will also depend upon Frank Cavanaugh to maintain the high stand ard of the Hanover teams of the past few years. Glenn Warner will be back at Pittsburg, and Foster Sanford al Rutgers, in addition to several other coaches who have succeeded in put ting small colleges in prominent places on the eastern football map.
 Yale Bowl Costly.
 The recent report of the committed in charge of the building and man | agement of the Yale Bowl, the largest college football arena in the country shows that the grounds and structure have cost almost $73S.OOO to date, ant that another $15O.OOO will be required to complete the project as originally outlined.
