enough to most people, but to Alice,
thirsting for this very sort of knowl-
edge, the most delightful reading i
the world.
She was 30 pages along in n book
about poultry diseases when a step
on the stairs caused her to look W.
Her mother was coming dow1.
"You fee well enough TO get up?"
Alice said jumping to her feet.
II feel stronger han 1 have for
weeks" Mrs. Fairbanks assured her.
IT shall help with supper tonight,
and we won't need DR.. Blaney any
more.
Alice settled her in her armchair,
then turned again to her box. Did
you ever see anything 30 wonderful"
she exclaimed with enthusiasm. Look
here, Mother, here's a whole agricul-
tural course, just as they teach it in
college. David sent them to me-"
And the note, too? Well. that's
very nice. l hope he comes around
soon," Mrs. Fairbanks smiled down
at her daughter.
Together they vent on through the
books, the older woman sharing her
daughters pleasure In them, If not
her enthusiasm. Mrs. Fairbanks had
had but little education, her store of
knowledge had been learned from ex-
~perience, and not from books. A few
winters at a district school had taught
her the rudlments OF reading and writ

A youth of hard work had taught her
q hundred ways to save the penny
She had grown old and frail prac-

these things she knew nothing.
Alice, with her acquisitive mind and
her natural efficiency, her instinct for
labor saving, was a revelation to Mrs.
Fairbanks.

Alice remarked, piling the books up
methodically according to subject.
And when David and / are married
and 1 go out on that lovely farm, I'll
join their classes and learn a lot more
about It,"
A step on the porch made them look
up. Lois in her smart riding habit,
came into the room. On her pretty
mouth was a smile for triumph and
only half concealed in her eyes was a
look of malice.

Wen say they houndered miser-

It couldn't be done. Then he pulled

another tear. While they knew Davy
Bancroft was a beaut, yet they had
come to figure Art Fletcher as much
a part of the Polo grounds as the
right field bleachers.

Frankie-the kid-and Dave-the
beauty-proved the turning point
They were the friendly zephyr
which caught the drifting sail OF the
Giants forlorn hope.
As soon as the rest of the team
smiled some OF Frisch,s FIRE they
began to get back their hustle. The
fans heard that Beauty Bancroft
was doing some thrillers at short
stop. 1t began to be whispered about
town that John McGraw had a ball
club out at the Polo grounds. They
took a chance, as I'M good spor7

It's a ffty-ffty relationship that

Nevertheless. the stadium was
completed in record time. having
been turned over by the contractor
to the Belgium Olympic COMMITTEES
on May 20 last.
The stadium is something more
than three miles from the central
business district of Antwerp, and is
reached by street railway and steam
railway lines. 1t has been built Of
stone, concrete. steel and wood, with
an impressive arched main entrance.
It's total capacity for spectators is
estimated at $4,000. II, like the
tracks 1t encloses. is oval in shape.
On two sides there are rooted
"grandstancs." where are located
the boxes and reserved seats. At
the two ends of-the oval, however,
there are no roofs but only q series
of steps-like those of the old Greek
open-air theatres-accommodating
thousands of spectators standing.
The tracks are the ordinary Gin
der paths, while the inside arena,
where will be held the field events,
is of well-kept turf.
The running track. oval, OF course,
is a fraction under $50 meters to a
lap. There is a straightaway, along
one side. sufficiently long for the
100-meter dash, but the 200-meter
race must be run on the oval. The
grass field inside is 14s by 70 me-
tiers and the football ground LOG by
