SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER L--Jane Harding, respect
able and conservative old spfnster-but
never too old 10 think Of marriage-with
more money than brains, is inveigled by
a strong minded spinster, Miss Higglesby-
Browne, into financing an expedition 10
hunt for buried treasure on Leeward
island Her niece. Virginia Harding. un-
dertaking to stop her. gets on the vessel
engaged for the hunt, and In the confu-
sion is unwillingly carried along.
CHAPTER u.-By no means concealIng
her distaste for the expedition and her
contempt for its members, Virginia makes
the acquaintance of the Honorable Cuth-
bert Vane, and is somewhat impressed.
CHAPTER IIL-Tanxing with Dugald
Shaw. the leader of the expedition, Vir-
g1nia very frankly expresses her views.
practically accusing Shaw and the other
members of the party, including a some
what uncertain parsonage, Captain Mag
nus, and shady 'financier," Hamilton
H. Tubbs, of beng in d conspiracy to de-
fraud Miss Jane Harding. Their relations.
naturally, are somewhat strained.
CHAPTER IV.-Landing on the island
IS matter OF some difficulty, Virginia
being carried ashore in the arms Of Cuth-
bert Nane. to her disquietude. The land
ing, however. is safely effected.
CHAPTER V.-Led by Miss HiggIesby-
Browne, the party draws up an agree
ment whereby Virginia Harding is barred
from participation in the profits of the
SApeulllOU- believing the WnOlG L0llR TO
be fraud, Virginia is not greatly wor-
ried. Cuthbert Vane alone votes against
the exclusion of Virginia.
CHAPTER vL-Wnd pigs abound on
the island, and Cookie" the colored
member of the party insists he has seen
a ''hant," in the form of a white pig.
During a walk Virginia meets the ''harlt,'
a white bull terrier. and proudly brings
him into camp.
CHAPTER VII.--On the island Ii the
hut of copra gatherer, and the presence
of the dog, named '.Crusoe" by Virginia,
is thus accounted for. Rambling about,
and feeling herself not to be a regular
member of the expedition, Virginia comes
upon sand-imbedded sloop, the Island
Queen. Returning to the camp, she ia
intercepted by Captain Magnus, who ac-
costs her. unpleasantIy. She escapes him,
with the aid of TCrusoe."
CHAPTER vIII.-Fired with the idea
of herself discovering the treasure, Vir-
GINA pays visit TO the cave which has
been singled out as the most likely place
in which IL has been concealed, and
there she is caught by the tide and res
cued by Dugald Shaw, frCm certain
death. Thinking her unconscious. Shaw
whispers words of endearment, which
she treasures.
CHAPTER LX.--In' idle curiosity Vir-
GINA, dabbling about the wreck Of the
Island Queen, finds a diary, identified
only as having been kept by Peter" a
former seeker of the treasure. In ii he

Cali. Three Miles just as Hard.

Jim Rice, Columbia coach, says
that four miles on the river is no
more of a strain than three, in rae
ing. as the three mile race is prac-
tically a squirt all the way. College
oarsmen never learned the pro-
fessionaI bike rider trick of loafing
along the course and jockeying for
the jump in a last fifty yard sprint.
I've seen about twenty interiors;
legiate regattas, and don't remem-
ber one where the winner did much
sthlling on the way down the river
Zone of these, the most sensa-
'IOnal race ever rowed at Pough

Just before the war when Stan
ford's crew of young giants came
Iout OF the West, UnCoached, un-
trained. with no rowing or racing
experience except what they could
get pulling around an old boat in
San Francisco Bay. eight miles
from Palo Alto, and borrowed an
eiCht-oar shell to race in.
Stanford looked a quarter mile
behind the leaders coming under
the bridge and had apparently been
rowing out to the limit all the way.
Yet from the bridge down to the
finish line the Stanford crew rowed
with a desperation that amazed the
spectators, came up from last place.

INDEPENDENT CAGE
TITLE SERIES OPENS

Bob" OTone, former Georgetown
University star. coach and captain
Of the AlOysiUs quint, is going to
i-Iead his team against the Comets
at Epiphany tomorrow night in the
efrst of a series of games for the
district Independent championship.
The Catholics are composed of play
ers carefully selected from this
Knights Of Columbus League and
are a greatly improved team over
that which represented the institu-
tion last year
The Comets hope to have Capt.
George Plummer, who had his nose
broken about ten days ago. back IN
the lineup for this game. Plummer
has been greatly missed. as he Is
considered one Of the strongest de-
rensive players in the District. Sam

ing forward and the third center
rorm a great scoring machine, and
Novsius will have their hands full
irving to stop them. The Tigers are
slated to play at Rosedale tomor-
row night, and this game should
s1so be a hummer.

WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP AT LTOPPERS PLAY HUNP
SOCIETY TO SEE.
BALTIMORE BOUT

heels of New York and stage nm
exhibition to which the eII1e NIII

promoter for the National Ath-
letic Club of the Monumental
City. -Four fast bouts will be
staged in the ballroom of the
BeIyedere Hotel on the night of
February 4. Attendance Will be
by Invitation only, and IL f. ex-
pected that representative
gathering from Baltimore, Wash
inEtOn and Philadelphia Will be
on hand.
The main bout will be n twelve

tiOns may be secured here at the

HILLTOPPERS FACE
HARD TILT TONIGHT
Camp Humphreys officers Ex-
pected TO Extend George
town Cagemen.

Georgetown cagemen hook up
with the Camp Humphreys Oficers
quintet tonight in the Ryan gym in
what is expected to be one Of tn
best games of the Hilltop season.
Vidal and Company showed class
Saturday night holding the Mid
shipmen to a 26 TO u score on he
Middies' floor and ara all set to
give the Blue and Gray collegians
a regular battle.
The Hilloppers will undoubtedly
have their hands full as for the
first time this season thsy will
meet real cage opposition when
they stack up against the soldiers.
O'Reilly's tossers have played only
two gamss up to this time defeat
ing George Washington &c to ls and
Davis and Elkins college 81 to p.
Both battles were rather easy az
fairs for the river aggregation as
in neither cas- were they favored
to extend themselves.
Though the Hatchetites knocked
of the Officers a couple OF weeks
ago, nevertheless Nidal's gang is
expected to battle the HilltopHer,
much more evenly than did the Buff
and Blue.
The Camp Humphreys tossers
have an entirely different makeup
than either OF the two teams the
Hilltoppers have hooked up with
thus far and. whether they win or
lose, Georgetown will know they
have been some place before the
game is over.
The soldiers flashed a battling
SDirit apafpgt the NFfddfas and ~
they repeat against the Blue snd
GrGsy the game will probably be
real test for the local collegians.

WESTERkEXPECTED
TO TRIM CENTRAL
Two Teams Hook Up in What
May Be ''CrooeiaI' Bat
tie Tomorrow.

Western and Central High tossers
are listed to meet tomorrow after
noon on the Coliseum in what may
turn out to be the crucial battle of
the local scholastic championship
cage season.
If the Red and White Cagemen
come through with a victory. they
will be "sittin' pretty" with three
victories and one defeat, and lying
right behind Tech in the runner-up
position, ready to sandbag the lead
crs if Coach Apples men should
falter. In case Central gets the
long end of the score, that will
throw Western, Eastern and the
Blue and White tososers in a three
cOrnered tie for second money and
would put the Manual Trainers so
far in the lead that the chances of
heading them in the last half of
the series would be extremely slight
in fact, wellnigh Impossible. If
they keep up or improveAstheir
present pace.
However, wise guys peddling the
dope are touting their three-star
special for tomorrow's game, said
special being the Red and White.
On past performances and general
all-around form, the Westerners ap-
pear to have the edge. and it may
be that said wise guys are peddIing
an 1S-karat tip. Unusual, it's true.
but accidents will happen. In any
case, this much-touted edge" is not
sufficient to take any interest out
Of the battle and Coach Metzler
and his proteges may shatter the
dope and once again give the lie
to these sure-thing sports.
The Manual Trainers will hook up
with the Army and Navy Props this
afternoon in the Y. M c. A. gym
in a game that will probably force
both teams to the limit. Though
this game has no bearing on the
school title series, Apple is sure to
drive his boys, as he wants to keep
them Keyed to concert pitch" in
an effort to hold the lead through
out the second half of the scholastic
cage series.
