Heavy Line Up
In Fine Shape for Initial
Game of Season Played
With Devils Lake

The football! squad Of the Ian gdor
high school in its opening battle Of
Saturday afternoon in which the fielc
OF carnage is being staged at Devils
Lake, will contain in it's line
un, according to Coach Marcus Smith,
tie likeliest bunch Of players that
have represented the school on the
football field in any year that the
L.H.S, has figured in the interschol.
astic state schedule of contests. The
team which is in training and will
probably take their places on the
field in the initial game to be played
Saturday at Devils Lake will be a
little better than the average weight
that Langdon has been sending into
the game. the players weighing in at
about 135 pounds apiece. The team
has selected as its captain Eugene
Row, who plays at quarter back, the
two halves are Red Mausten and Vic
Mulligan with Charlie Ramage at
full back. The line players, compos-
ed of ends. guards and tackles are
Ed. Johnston, Fred Snowfield, Ado
Koehmstedt. John Schwartz, William
Stevenson, John Milne, and Miles
Void. They are fit to do their best
in the game at the Lake on Saturday
and at their first appearance in a
home game may look for an enthu-
siastic demonstration from Langdnn
people generally.

Lucinda composed herself to bear her disap- pointment as bravely as she could.
 When she heard someone come at the front door she said to herself that Matilda's company was arriving. But when foot steps sounded on the stairs she got up and went to her own door. There stood Mrs. Pel1 with basket in her hand. Mrs. Pel1 was young and lively and pretty, and, for some reason unaccountable to Lucinda, she liked Lucinda. She had on white coat and a white knit cap, and Lucinda, sur prised and delighted, cried out: My land, you look just like a snow bird! '"

Nobody came in. the tel ephone bell did not ring, there was no relief from that unbearable silence. Caroline began to make false stitches.

In the twilight of dazzling day she entered her owp house. The dear house, but so empty, so still! Her thought had been 'II1 telephone to Jasper. I'll tell him I'm at home waiting for him."
 At the living room she stopped. A man stood at the window trying to get the last light on picture he held. AS she looked he kissed the picture her picture! "Jasper!" she sobbed.
 The picture fell and he held out his arms. "I knew you'd come. I've been waiting two days!" he cried. A week later Caroline said: I've thought it all out, Jasper. We needed a vacation from each other. If we ever get back into the old ways we'll know what to do.
