of his poor business affairs, that Rob
rert sat down to read over the two let
tiers his father had given him.
One was from James Laidlaw and it
read: II shall be willing to practically
adopt you, but want to state the situa-
ton clearly at the start so there are no
afterclaps l have acquired fortune
and my high position in life by fol-
lowing a system. If you come to me,

to it's conditions. You are old enough
to have done with the follies of youth,

evidence of any delinquency or short
comings on your part l would dismiss

rich, but selfish, as father has often
told me- unused Robert over this cold
formal epistle, and then his face bright
ened as he perused the second letter.
Il am a lonely old bachelor wrote
Uncle Henry, but not so old or per-
verted that do not realize that If you
are live up-to-date young man we
shall have famous time together. It
will do me good to have general

stand that Brother James is also bid
ding for you. Well, he has the rocks,
and if you come with me you will have
to work, but I'll be your good friend
if you stick to me-
In one moment Robert Laidlaw made
his decision. He wrote note to I'm
Gle James thanking him for his kind
ness. but declining to make his home
with him. He indited second to Tn
Gle Henry, also thanking him and an
nouncing his intention Of accepting
his kind offer.
All that Robert fancied this latter
relative to be he found him-a jolly,
careless old man living in an antiquat-
ed mansion, reputed wealthy, but per-
sonaIiy insisting that his means were
as a dime to double eagle compared
with the massive riches of Brother
James. From the start Robert felt
that his life had fallen in pleasant
places. He started out on his own
initiative to find work the third day
after his arrival.

PLAYED on Washington Irving
Gymnasium Floor by Score
of 40 to 20.

When Coach Lanham, Of the Buck
harmon high school basketball team,
turned his bunch of 'Bear Cats" loose
ON the Washington Irving team Friday
night the speed shown by the BUCK
harmon boys bewildered the local boys
for about ten minutes and that was
lust long enough. for the, Buckhannon
team to secure. enough points to win
the game pya comfortable margin, the
final score being Buckhannon Az,

! At the, end Of ten minutes OF play
the score was Buckhaunon Is. WASH
ington irving 1. 1t was at this point
that Coach Arnett's boys began to
come to life and from that point on
they outplayed their heavier rivals at
every point Of the game. The showing
made by the locals in the first few
minutes Of the game was great dis
appointment to, local followers OF the
team, who had hoped that the local
buys would break Buckhannon's win
nirg streak.
By winning the game Friday night
the Buckhannon team has won eleven
straight games and has met some Oh
the best teams in the state
One point which greatly handi-
capped the local boys Friday night
was q ruling made at the starting OF
the game that player could climb the
wall and shoot for q basket. In all
games played here this season this has
been prohibited as It makes the game
much rougher and more liable to
injure players. Coach Lanhan insist
ed that he would not play the game
unless his men were allowed this priv
ilege. Soon after the game started 1t
was apparent to all why he insisted
on this point as half of the points
made by his team were made by his
players climbing the wall and drop

When the local boys meet the Buck
harmon, team at Buckhannon in the
state tournament this will not be al
lowed as all the leading officials Of the
larger cities prohibit this mode Of
playing and with the Buckhannon
players forced to remain on the play

can get q chance to keep them from
