tell your mother why you're late"
"All right" said Robert gratefully,
thinking what a nice fellow Johnnie
was.
Now he began to look anxiously up
and down the street wondering what
had become OF the stranger. one or
two people passed by. Robert amused
himself by climbing up the lamp post
and doing other stunts but all the
same 1t was getting later and later and
he was feeling hollow inside. Perhaps
another boy might have gone off say
ing Bother the old suitcase!" But there
was one thing about Robert which
made up for some OF his faults. he was
honest and steady and dependable.
So he waited and waited. Presently
he heard someone come running. It
was his sister. Ruth.
Mother says come TO supper at
once" said Ruth. THAT is. she wants
to know why you don't come. Hasn't
the boy in long pants come yet?"
NO" replied Robert, sadly. Tell
Mummy / can't leave the suitcase as
/ promised to watch IT, She'll under
stand"
Ruth ran Off with the message and
/ Robert sat down with his chin in his
hands. feeling rather blue. Presently
Johnnie Richards came back and said
he would watch the suitcase while
Robert went TO get some supper. This
Robert was only too glad to do. And
after he had eaten his supper he has
tened back TO his post. There sat
Johnnie beside the suitcase. They sat
down together and talked and waited
but no boy in long pants appeared.
Evening journal., 1920-05-22

Are you sure you didn't dream it?"
Johnnie asked. Il didn't see any fell
low in long pants like the one you tell
about and 1 was at the station all the
afternoon. You know the circus train
is expected IN any time now"
yes" replied Robert. but tlsis fell
low is no dream or how do you think
1 got this suitcaso?"
Il was just joking" said Johnnie.
Il wonder what's inside"
He took the suitcase. which was
heavy. and shook 1t. II didn't rattle.
Il bet It's full Of gold money"
well, II it Is he don't seem to care
much for it," said Robert with a sigh.
"Or maybe it's got clues in IT,"
said johnnie in a low voice. Maybe
the little fellow did a crime and he's
trying to get away and the suitcase
has clues In It. saw something like
that in the movies once. Gee, It was
spookyw
I'D like TO look inside Robert
said. Look, here's the key tied 10
the strap. but OF course wouldn't do
1t. Twouldn't be right"
"Oh. come on. letsH cried Johnnie.
"Nol" replied Robert hrmly
twouldn't be right"
Just then they saw two women com.
ing along the street. They drew clos'
and stopped near the boys. Rober
looked up and saw that one OF M
women was not woman but a man
at least she had a great. dark beard
He started up In alarm. but true q

cause the suitcase was so heavy.

Robert doubtfully.
"Oh. about half an hour" replied
the stranger.
Robert then agreed TO the bargain
as It was only about FIVE o'clock in
the afternoon and he was not expected
home to supper until six. He moved
the suitcase TO the edge OF the pave
ment and sat on the curb beside II
wondering in an idle way what It
might contain.
Strange TO say nobody else was In
sight when Robert was talking with
the owner of the suitcase. but now
Jolly Richards came around the
corner.
Hello. Bob" he said. what you
doin'?"
Robert explained.
Il didn't sec any short fellow in long
pants" Johnnie said.
Just then the clock over the town
hall struck six.

"Goodby!"

COACH BURNHAM
GIVES SCHEDULE
High School Mentor Announ-
ces Dates of Track and
Grid Contests.

Coach Burnham completede the
high school track and football
schedules. and made considera BILE
Roadway with the basketball lineup.
at a meeting held in Larorte yester-
day by the coaches of northern IN
diana.
The coming season Of football will
be the hardest that any eleven has
gone through for several years.
Eight games are set out for the To-
cal gridders. four of which Will be
staged on the local field. Among
the leading elevens that will COM
pete with the Tan and Blue are
Gary, Hammond and Kalamazoo.
Hammond and Gary were considered
as having two of the strongest
teams in the state last season, while
Kalamazoo was considered only sec
ondary 10 Lansing in Michigan foot
ball circles.
Replace Gary.
The replacing OF Gary on the To-
cal schedule will again bring up the
ancient rivalry between the schools.
Mishawaka and Elkhart, two of thu
Oldest rivals the high school has,
are scheduled. The locals will meet
Mishawaka on their gridiron. while
Elkhart will play here.
Warsaw is the only eleven that
has never been on the local Sched-
ule. and the Burnhamites Will play
this game on the Warsaw field. Do

Coach Burnham predicts team
next fall that will sweep any eleven
in this part off their feet, and once
more set Souh Bend high on the
map in the gridirOn sport. Eight
monogram men will be back in the
running. along with some new ma
terra! that Coach Burnham Lects
to uncover next fall. The big loss
to the eleven is Capt. Buntman. who
played four years on the team, and
was the star OF the team last sea =
son. The other men leaving are
O'Dell, Wahl, Huffman and Kaplan.
These men were the mainstays of
last years eleven, but with eight
men left and a number of new men
TO pick from, the outlook is most
inspiring.
Three Left.
In track this season three mono
gram men are left-Capt. Thomson.
Witwer and Sluss. With these men
to pick from and with some men
that were not eligible for the sporT
last season, Coach Durham expects
TO build a winning crew. Capt
Thomson has been in training al.
winter along with several other pro
teges All are now in the best OF
condition for the track season. The
