work and the needs Of the institution.
The Herald and News, rnder the
present management for the past &c
wears, has been a steadfast friend Of
the college, and we have been untirirS
and diligent always to boost and ad-
vertise the college whenever occasion
presented, and sometimes when it did
not we made the occasion. The 1les
and records will bear ont the state
n1ent that so far as our ability eX-
tended the college has had no more
steadfast friend and supporter. And
vet sometimes we have been made to
feel that there should be such a thing
as reciprocity of allegiance: 1t Is
we'll to preach and talk the obligation
of the alumni of the old college, but
there should also be preached the
doctrine of the loyalty and steadrast-
ness of the old mother TO her child

should be reciprocal, tne one standing

interest in bringing her except him?
Nobody. Use your brains, Peter. He
takes the first boat down the river. He
comes back on the next one. She
comes back, too. They couldn't figure
I'd be at your house when they
showed up there to tell the story.
That's where Mr.. Elliot slipped up"
Peter was of different stuff from
Selfridge. He had something to say.
So he said it.
''Times have changed, Mac. You
can't shoot down this fellow without
making all kinds Of trouble. First
thing, we'd lose our claims. The ad-
ministration would drop you like hot
potato if you did a thing like that.
Sheba would never speak to you again.
Your friends would know in their
hearts it was murder. You can't do it,"
Macdonald's jaw clamped. "Then
let him get out. That's my last word
to him."

Chapter XIII Continued

His companion flashed a look Of
warning at him and explained that
they were going down the river to look
for work outside of the district.
Suddenly Trelawney broke loose
and began to curse Macdonald with a
bitterness that surprised the govern
ment agent. What struck him most,
though, was the obvious anxiety Of
Northrup to quiet his partner and to
gloss over what he had said.
Elliot bought an automatic revolver
next morning and box Of cartridges.
He was not looking for trouble, but he
intended to be prepared for 1T when
trouble came looking for him. In the
afternoon he walked out of town and
practiced shooting at tin cans for
half an hour. On his way back he
met Peter Paget.
The engineer came straight to the
subject in his mind.
"Selfridge came to see me last night.
He told me about the trouble between
you and Macdonald, Gordon. You must
leave town till he cools down. Mac
donald is a bad man with a gat."
'Is he? ThereTl be no trouble OF
my making But if he starts any I'll
be there. Macdonald doesn't own the
earth, you know. I've been sent up
here by Uncle Sam on business, and
you can bet your last dollar I'll stay
on the job till Pm through"
"Of course you've got to finish your
job. But it doesn't all have to be done
right here. Just for week or two"
'Tell your friend something else
while you're on the subject If drop
him, / go scot free because he is inter
fering with me on duty. I'll put Self
ridge on the stand to prove it. But

If he should kill me, his last chance for
getting the Macdonald claims patented
would be gone. The public would raise
such a howl that the administration
would have to throw your friend and
the Guttenchilds overheard to save
itself. I know that-and Macdonald
knows it. So he stands to lose either
way"
Paget knew this was true. But he
could not drop the subject without
one more appeal.
Hes not sore at you about the
claims. You know that. It's because
you brought the squaw up the river to
see Sheba."
II didn't bring her-hadn't a thing
to do with that. don't know who

you're as obstinate as the devil"
smiled Peter, but in his heart he ad-
mired the dourness Of his friend.
The engineer went to Macdonald and
gave a deleted version of his talk with
Elliot. The Scotsman listened, a bit
ter, incredulOus smile on his face.
"Says he didn't bring her, does he?
Tell him from me that he lies. Your
wife let out to me by accident that he
threatened to bring her. Meteetse and
he came up on the boat together. He
was with her at your house when she

mers and boxers are included in the long list of athletes who will make up the new army, but boxing is perhaps the laggard of all in the matter of coming to the front with enlistments. Of the many well-known boxers in this country, Jack Dillon and Willie Ritchie are practically the only two who have worldwide regulations to enlist.

PLACE SURE FOR MOLLWITZ
Former Cub Player Will in All Prob ability Cavort Around Initial
 Sack for Pirates.

Fred MolRwitz, who had no chance to stick with the Reds after Hal Chase became a member of the club, and who later was sent to Kansas City by the Chicago Cubs, will in all probability ca vort around the initial bag for the Pi- rates next season.
 Mollwitz was unfortunate in former big league associations, but at Pitts burgh it appears that he will have lit tie or no opposition and, as change of clubs often works wonders with ball player, he may become recognized as one of the big leagues best initial bagmen.
 With Vic Saier's broken leg mend ed and his future usefulness as a first sacker practically assured, Fred Mitch ell will have a problem to solve in choosing between Safer and Merkle. Safer played the last few games of the season at first base for the Cubs and Merkle was played in the outfield.

Roscoe Waldron turned at the gate way of the house he had just left and re-entered it. Its mistress had not accompanied him to the door and it stood open as he had left it. She had been stunned, daZed, when he had completed his mission by handing her a cold, formal legal document that crushed all of hope and independence that was left to her.
 It was a handsome though anti quated structure, surrounded by what had once been attractive grounds. It was sad to contemplate, and the thought had actuated his return, that he had just delivered to Elva Darling ton the document which announced to her that it would be her home no longer.
 Waldron entered the hall and paused at the door of the great parlOr. She sat where he had left her. Her hands were twisted together, her classic face set stonily; her eyes were fixed upon vacancy. There was not the culver of muscle. And if some dread rower that paralyzed and dead ened had passed over her, she sat rigid as some statue. He advanced into the room. She shivered and look ed up, mute despair in her bloodless face as he spoke.
 Miss Darlington" he said, in tone of inefible respect, and as well of sadness, 'I tell you I am sorry that, as a representative of the attorneys of the mOrtgagee of this property, I was cOmDelled to advise YOU that the foreclosure proceedings will be begun next week, unless the principal and delinquent interest of the mortgage are paid. This, as know, you can not meet, as one familiar with all the circumstances, I would not be much of a man to withhold a suggestion that might relieve you from your di- lemma."
 He could but note the eager, plead ing expression of hope that stole into eyes to hold to steady composure.

 Has been repealed.
 War did it, war and the vigor of some sport veterans.
 While youth is serving in the war the veterans will be given the chance of their lives to come back-in every line of sport, baseball, football, tennis, golf, racing, walking, swimming, wrest- ling, boxing.
 No, you needn't laugh at their mak- ing good. There is a lot of old-time stuff left in many a veteran of the sport world.

 ""Take heart of hope" spoke Wal dron in a voice unsteady with emo- ton and quivering with resolve. sLet me think over this situation, which appeals to all that is sympathizing with my nature. I feel sure some way will be found to save the prop erty. May I call upon you again to- morrow?'
 She bowed her head in assent She could not speak. Her glance read into the very soul of this complete stranger who helG out hand to save her. Thus Roscoe Waldron left her, never be- fore in his young life so stirred up mentally.
