comparatively poor.
He had left her and Edith with a
position to maintain and nothing but q
tradition on which to maintain it.
Hardly nothing, but very little more.
The old lady had made quite a
brave struggle for one who had been
INDUCED all the years of her life. But,
there was Edith, Edith Of great prom
Use, almost ready for her first sea-
son out. 1t was a matter for specula-
ton for those who knew, just what
Mrs. Hilton would have done had
Edith been two or three years
younger when Charles Hilton died.
Would she have attempted a struggle
that entailed two or three years more
privation. Or, did she throw herself
into this breach because she felt that
her will was Just great enough to
span it?
Mrs. Hilton was beginning to feel
worried. Here was Edith in her TWEEN
tieth year, ready, primed for conquest,
as it were, and nothing to conquer!
The list of eligible young men was
the list of financially desirable
young men, and Mrs. Hilton's reserve
fund, both of money and energy, were
rapidly becoming exhausted.
She and her daughter sat on the
porch of their home one evening at

lations this evening were as unavail-

desperately to her paper. What
she saw there caused her old frame
suddenly to stiffen with eager interest
as she read, her left hand held poised
in the air before her much as might

looked up, her face flushed and eager,

very quiet, this guest, and when he
could, watched intently Walkers face.
He noted also the pale tragic look on
the face OF the young man who came
late, but was too interested in his
own affair to indulge his sympathy.
Sympathy! Strange thing, that, in
one who had come for what he had
come. Strange that those years in

strange it was that he should enter

would give him no further oppor-

He fired, and Walker, spasmodically
clutching his shirt front, sank liteless
to the floor.

KEEN FIGHT ON
AMONG YOUNG
TENNIS PLAYERS
Penn Charter and German
town in Interacademic
League Running
Closely

The Junior Interacademic Tennis
League has developed into a keen tight
for first place between enn Charter ana
Germantown Academy. There Is very
little to choose between the two schools.
Penn Charter is slightly the favorite, be.
ing one match in the lead. Also they
have Sam Pennock and Dick Myers
playing 81" and "2." These two boys
are nearly sure of winning all their
junior matches.
The end of the team, however, does not
look quite so strong as Germantowns
Smiths unexpected win over Harper. of
Episcopal, last Friday, put Germantown
i'm the running, and showed that Pennock
will not have an easy time winning his
first singles. Penn Charter meets Ger
mantown on Thursday, and II the match
goes either way by a large majority the
title Is nearly settled, although there Is
another round still to be played.
So far the new kids league has
proved a great success The Individual
stars are Pennock and Myers, for Penn
Charter; Harper, Weiner and Whitney for
Episcopal, and Beard. Smith and n. Beck,
for Germantown. These eight boys APP
pear to be the class of the league, with
Pennock standing out about half class
ahead of any of the others There only
seems to be one drawback to Pennock's
game and that is quickly being overcome.
1t is a tendency TO let his temper get
away from him, and thus make him care
less. If he overcomes this there Is no
doubt but that he will rapidly so far up
not only in school tennis but also in the
city events.
Myers has not the solid game that PEN
mock has, but shows possibilities OF de-
veloping a very good attack. Harper, OF
Episcopal, has a well rounded game, eN-
cellent knowledge of tennis tactics and
generalship. but is handicapped by his
size. He will, however, prove one of our
coming stars.
Weiner is alternately very good and
very bad He has many very good shots
but appears to lack control and is prone
TO hit too hard. Beard, of Germantown, has
more shots than anybody in the league
This, coupled with his knowledge of the
game, which is quite remarkable for
kid, should make him very good within
a few years. However, he is prone to he
careless and does not pay sufficient
amount of attention TO his game.
Smith is pat ball artist" with
nasty chop stroke and remarkable steadi-
ness. He will make an excellent record
i'm school teams before he graduates.
whether his game will develop sufficiently
to stand tournament play against good
men is somewhat of problem. His game
may become another of the steady pat
bali type like Stanley Pearson, Wister,
Swayne, etc.

THREE GOLF TIES
WILL BE BROKEN
Women Players Struggle for
Lead in Team Matches
Today

One of the three teams now neek-and-
neck for first place in the womens golf
play for the Philadslphia Cup will have
TO drop back at the end Of today's
matches So far the teams OF the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club, Merton and Hunting
don Valley have a perfect percentage, the
first named having lost but one match
out of IA. Huntingdon Valley will meet
Merton In the feature combat OF the day
at Merton. Two veterans. Mrs Caleb F..
Fox and Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, will like
ly meet at Merton, both having played
No. / for their respective teams. A great
match will result. Mrs. Fox is playing the
best game Of her long golfng career and
is in fine fettle to give Mrs Barlow, Phila-
delphia champion, fresh from triumph in
the South, a tough match. Mrs. c. H.
Stetson win likely meet Miss Anita Phipps,
and so on down the line, the matches are
sure 70 be ding-dOng affairs.
The Philadelphia Cricket Club will meet
plenty of opposition with the Philmont
Club at st. Martins, but should pull
through. The Philmont Club has only
won 4 out OF IA matches to date. ST.
Dayid's, which team has not yet won a
single match, has had shake-up on its
team and viii go out in earnest against
the team from Overlook, which has only
won two matches to date.
For the Suburban Cup, Woodsbury and
MerchantyIlle are tied for first place and
both play teams today, Moorestown and
Bala, that have not won any matches as
Vet 40 that the lead should not change.
The same condition holds true for the
nlav for the Wallingford cup, when the
leaders. North Hills and Whitemarsh meet
the tailenders, Philadelphia Country Club
and Aronlmink
