PHILIPS LOVE
BY JACK LAYTON

'SJ' iS-l. western Newspaper Union,
! Constance sat at the window wait
ing for Philip. but the happy OK
! pcctancy in his coming was gone
! Sadly the young wife wondered how
long this life OF strained Indifference
naSt 20 on. For surely rh;,ir had
grown Indifferent in marriage, after
his undated devotion before" Con
stance looked back on the years before
her marriage with sigh. Philip,
earning his way in her fathers EN-
plry. had been y difficult lover: even
now she WAS not sure that he would
have asked his own hearts desire had
she not TREMENDOUSLY prompted him.
And might she not. after all, she
thought with a catching OF the breath,
have read his heart Alright?
Could 1t be that Philip had married
her for pity? Truly. she had shown
her heart to him. with all It's love.
The fact of her fathers wealth, and
Philips humble position had seemed
such foolish barrier between. but
Philip in his stubborn pride had been
unable to brook that barrier SO she
had done 1t for him.
She remembered the night, with the
starlight on tile SNOW, and Philips
dear arm through hers. steadying her
against the breeze. and when she
looked up into his face tn see there
the pent up love of years. TINT love
which Philips brusquc manner had
resolutely denied. Constance half
laughing, half crying. had challenged
him to deny his love as she told of her
own.
Now In the calm of her slttinA room
the madness Of that hour came back
to her With the memory of his eager
surrender. Their walk together had
been but an accident: Constance had
stopped at her fathers Office and her
father himself had put her into the
forbidden Philips care. The night
was dangerously stormy. she would
have to take the street car home, her
father expected to be detained Mt the
Office and would need his own CIR
there. SO Philip was installed her
escort.
Later Constance had married him
against his own unSeifiSh proteStn-
TORS. Stoutly she proclaimed her con-
tempt for the luNurieS OF life as conf
pared with the gift of lo.9e---apd Philip

The old natural histories gave the
Arabian horse full credit for beauty,
stamina and intelligence but they usu-
ally insisted that the English-and Amer
ican-thoroughbred was to be regarded
as the last word in development.
The United States army does not
agree. Repeated victories by Arabian
horses of full blood in cross-country en-
durance tests have demonstrated the
Arabs supremacy. In sustained speed,
ability to carry weight and to withstand
continued pounding up and down hill
over hard roads, the desert horse is be
yond compare.
The thoroughbred. unmatched on level
turf for 10 furlongs, is too tall and rangy,
too sensitive, too temperamental. In an
endurance road race his feet and legs
fail him and so does his disposition. He
is too much of a racing machine. The
Morgan horse, an American breed with
pronounced Arab strain, is better, and
so are the stocky western horses, des-
cended, it may be, from the chargers of
the Spanish conquistadores.
The real test of a cavalry horse is abil-
ity to carry weight, and keep on carry
ing it, sound in wind and feet and legs.
The Remount board of the United States
army is looking for Arabs, as sires or
dams, that this hardest of strains may
improve the cavalry horses of the future.
There are only some 800 Arabs in the
country, and both public and private aid
is being enlisted to increase the number.
Here is one case where things are as
they should be. The favored courser of
fiction and verse comes into his own
again.

Rutland Passes.
(St. Adams Messenger. }

81. Adams MeSSenger.)
BY the way, why doesn't The Messen-
ger publish the fact that Rutland has
offered st. Adams $500 for a game here
and no takers.-Rutland Herald.
One very good reason why The MeSsen-
ger did not publish the fact" of this
offer is because it knows of no one to
whom it was made. The principal of the
school, who is in charge of the athletics,
never heard of this fact until he read
the above quotation from The Herald
BY whom and to whom was it made?
But why continue the argument? II
looks as if it were pretty effectively set
tied in Burlington Friday when Rutland
suffered a decisive and disastrous defeat
at the hands of a team that went down
before the st. Adams eleven 20 to @
three days previously.
OF course, following the outcome of the
Burlington game, Rutland loses its at
tractiveness as an opponent. Tt sue
ceeded in making people believe that il
had a whale of a team, but pride went be-
fore the fall, and we will throw the man
tie of charity over the past. The outcome
is a good example of the old truth that ii
is deeds. not words, that count Rest in
peace, Rutland.

AN AMERICAN GAME

The modest request of Marshal Foch
that he be permitted to see an American
football game is indicative of the recent
advance that game has made in popular
esteem. If football were played only by
the few for the few, the allied generals
simo would not have heard enough about
it to arouse particular interest
But football today is fast becoming
a national game. Small boys begin play
ing it on vacant lots before the World
series baseball games are over. Grade
schools have teams and play conference
schedules along with their big brothers
in high schools, colleges and universities.
And who attends these contests? Not
merely the student bodies interested, with
their quotas of friends and relatives. The
whole public watches football results and
attends football games with increasing
intelligence and interest. Men and wo-
men who perhaps have never even held a
football in their hands will motor miles
or take long journeys by rail to see some
of the big conference games, while they
talk glibly at home about the chances of
schools all over the country.
This is not all foolishness, either. Foot
ball, rightly played, requires loyalty, CO.
operation and team work. 1t trains both
body and mind. 1t teaches. self-reliance,
GOODNESS, quick judgment. 1t demands
physical courage, resourcefulness, obed-
fence to constituted authority, a healthy
body, aggressiveness and unbroken NOR
ale.
Football has its faults, like everything
else, but at its best it is game well
suited to the American temper.
