through the bottom of a glass OF
liquor was called by people with naval
spirit-were mixed in careless carou-
sal.
All this Jared on Dyck Calhoun and
gave revolt to his senses. Yet he was
only half-conscious of the great SEN
SuOusneSs Of the scene as he passed
through it. All was brought to focus
at last, however, by their arrival at
Charlotte Bedford's lodgings, which,
like most houses in the town, had a
lookout or belfry fitted with green
blinds and a telescope, and had a
green-painted wooden railing round 1t.
At the very entrance, inside the gate,
in the garden, they saw Sheila Iyn,
her mother and Darius Boland, who
seemed to be enduring from the moth
er some sharp reprimand, to the
amusement Of the daughter.
AS the gate closed behind Dyck and
Michael. the three from Virginia
turned round and faced them. AS
Dyck came forward, Sheila flushed
and trembled. She was no longer a
young girl, but her slim straightness
and the soft lines Of her figure gave
her dignity and charm which made
her young womanhood distinguished
for she was now twenty-five and had
carriage Of which a princess might
have been proud. Yet 1t was plain
that the entrance of Dyck at this mo-
ment was disturbing. 1t was not what
she had fOreseen.
She showed no hesitation, however,
but came forward to meet her visitor,
while Michael fell back, as also did
Darius Boland. Both these seemed to
realize that the less they saw and
heard, the better; and they presently
got together in another part of the
garden, as Dyck Calhoun came near
enough almost to touch Sheila.
Surely, he thought, she was supreme
in appearance and design. She was
touched by a rose on each cheek and
made womanly by firm and yet gener-
Gus breasts, tenderly imprisoned by
the white chiffon of her blouse in
which was one bright sprig of the buds
of q cherry tree-a touch Of modest
luxuriance on q person sparsely orna-
mented. 1t was Sheila herself, whom
time had enriched with far more than
years and experience. 1t was a per-
sonalty which would anywhere have
taken place and held it. 1t was un-
defeatable, persistent and permanent !;
it was the spirit Of Ireland loose In
world that was as far apart from
Ireland as she was from her dead, dis
hOnored father.
And Dyck? At first she felt she
must fly to him-yeS, In spite Of the
fact that he had suffered prison for
manslaughter. But a nearer look at
him stopped the impulse at its birth.
Here was the Dyck Calhoun she had
known in days gone by, but not the
Dyck she had looked to see; for this
man was like one who had come from
hanging, who had seen his dearest
swinging at the end Of rope. His
face was set in coldness; his hair was
streaked with gray; his forehead had
a line in the middle; his manner was
rigid, almost frigid, indeed. Only In
his eyes was there that which denied
all that his face and manner said-a
hungry, absorbing, hopeless look, the
look of one who searches for friend
in the denying desert.
Somehow, when he bowed low to
her and looked her in the eyes as no
one in all her life had ever done, she
had an almost agonlzed understanding

 ROY MCCORMICK

London, November 17.--Ted Kid Lewis, the English middleweight champion, defeated Roy Mccormick in the fourteenth round of a 20-round bout tonight. The referee stopped the fight in order to save Mccormick from further punishment.

At the close of this round the referee made an ex animation of MeCormick's S injured eye, and then declared Lewis tie winner of the bout.

Visiting Eleven Expected to Give Locals Hard Scrap
 Today

Simpson High school and Pell City High are ready for action at Munger bowl this afternoon, with simpson slight faverites to cop, although the Peil City team has two great prep backs in Indian Deason and Whit starnes. Simpson is relying on her heavy line to stop these boys charges, however.
 Coach slim" Neese has tt quartet of good backs, also that will give the PeH City boys no little trouble in stopping if theX run true to form Hammond and Hickman are fast propositions that drive low. The game is scheduled to take place on Munger field at 2:30 sharp. and a large crowd is expected to be on hand to see Indian" Deason. Starnes and company in their first prep ap- pearance in the Magic City.
 Coach Vester Garrett Is bringing a team to do battle against the Junior Panthers that is not composed of heavyweights. but team that has probably the the lightest line in Alabama high school football. "Crixp Morris, left end for the St. Clair invaders is said to weigh only 90 pounds, but makes more tackles than any other man on the team.
 The Simpson team has line that ranks among the heaviest in the state and that-is just the place where they are doped to win over Pell City, al though the Pell City line $ backed up by good secondary defense.
 In viewing this game fans will get an opportunity to see "a real honest to-goodness" Indian in action and one that is reported to be real high school football star by all who have seen him.
 The lineup for Pell City is: Nor ris, left end; Stines, left tackle Love, left guard; Turner, center; Gray, right guard; Ekwurzel, right tackle; Miller, right end; Herring. quarter back; Pearson (captain), or Embry left halfback; Deason, right half- back Starnes, fullback.

 "Do" FavorabIy Impressed
 While he was here "Bo" talked fayorably of accepting a possible proposal. He stated that, as they appeared to him, conditions were favorable for development of a powerful team at Howard, and that he would like to undertake the task.
 The offer has been made "Bo." and 1t now rests with McMillin whether or not he Is coach at Howard college next season.
 Now that an official offer has been made McMillin and very attractive one at that, it is thought that "Bo" will come to Birmingham shortly after Cen tres football season ig over, and look over the ground. so to speak. If things are at all fa- vorable, and "Bo" has already sai6 they appear to be, the chances are strongly in favor of McMillin accepting the offer.
 It's nnp to MeMillin.
