backhand.

Der in straight sets at "a. 6-3, and.

sterling tennis. was enough the stedier
to gain the verdict.
A. ". Howard defeated Robert Tracy
rather easily at 6-1, 60. The Dunn
barton mans forehand drive was get

he was unable to cope with the speed
of Howard.

SHELLS IN SPLENDID RACE

Winning.

Bob Duncan furnished a big surprise
terday afternoon on tho Potomac river
by winning the championship singles
from Ed. Mueller and Frank Smith in
handy fashion. This season Is Dun
cans first at the sculling game and his
victory over such star as Mueller
speaks well for his ability. Mueller
did not appear in his best form. but
still Duncan deserves none the less
credit, for he rowed a very capable
race.
The scheduled race between the
junior and intermediate eight cared
crew was one Of the most exciting
events Of the afternoon.
The juniors were given a slight han
dicap at the start. but the tntermedi-
ates got them on the jump and for the
crews rowed neck and neck. They
passed under the bridge with the inter-
mediate leading by a scant length. but the
juniors spurted and were only four feet
behind when the crews crossed the
line.

CHAPTER XVII.

Light shone before Duane's eyes
thick, strange light that came and
went. For a long time dull booming
sounds rushed by, filling all. It was a
dream in which there was nothing !;
a drifting under a burden; darkness,
light, sound, movement; and vague,
obscure sense Of time-time that was
very long. There was fire-crecping
consuming fire. A dark cloud of flame
enveloped him, rolled him away.
He saw then dimly, a room that was
strange, strange people moving about
over him, with faint voices, far away,
things in a dream. He saw again,
clearly, and consciousness returned
still unreal, still strange, full of those
vague and far-away things. Then he
was not dead. He lay stiff, like a
stone, with a weight ponderous as 4
mountain upon him and all his bound
body racked in slow, dull-beatins
agony.
A woman's face lowered over him,
white and tragic-eyed, like one of his
old haunting phantoms, yet sweet
and eloquent. Then a mans face bent
over him, looked deep into his eyes,
and seemed to whisper from a dis
tance: "Duane-Duane! All, he
knew met"
After that there was another long
interval of darkness. When the light
came again, clearer this time, the
same earneSt-faced man bent over him.
1t was MacNelly. And with recogni-
ton the past flooded back.
Imane tried to speak. His lips were
weak, and he could scarcely move
them.
"Pogcin!" he whispered. His frs:
real conscious thought was for POggin.
Ruling passiGl-eternal instinct
"Poggin is dead, Duane; shot to
pieces" replied MacNelly, solernnly.
