Read it again, Daddy" begged
Jean of her father, as he closed
the book out Of which he had been
reading to Danny and Jean.
Say, Dad, | wonder if I'd be
'skeered' as that boy was if | saw
a bear" said Danny seriously, as
if talking to himself
mo kiddies, no more now, to-
morrow evening we will read again,
but now your mother and | are
going into town. You children
play nicely with Bridget now until
we get back. Goodbye"
Their mother came down just
then and after kissing their father
and mother goodbye at the gate
the children turned and started
back to the house still thinking
about the bear story-Mr. Riley's
Bear StOry-which their father had
been reading to them.
ooh, | know" exclaimed Jean,
stopping in the middle of the walk,
Tets have Riley party this after
noon. Jack and Betty are coming
over you know, and Bobby and
Janet and oh, | can be little Or
plant Annie and you"
I'll be the boy who goes after
the bear I'll get my target gum"
spoke up Danny, entering at once
into the plan. 1t was Saturday
afternoon and their cousins, Jack
and Betty, and two of the Harter
children from across the street
were coming to the Stirton house
to play.
The children could scarcely wait
to finish their bread and milk and
turnovers, although they were very
fond of turnovers for lunch-and
then to spend the time before 230
o'clock which is about the time they
could expect their guests-they
were so eager with their plans for
the afternoons play.
They confided their plans to
Bridget, the nurse, and housekeep-
err, who had lived at the Stirton
home ever since Danny was so
little he had to hold to tables and
chairs to walk around Always
they could count on Bridget to
enter into their plans. This time
was no exception. Bridget thought
their idea was one with which they
could have great deal of fun.
She made some plans right then
and there too, but didn't tell the
children-at least not about all of
them
"Why don't you children act out
the parts like charades," she sug-
gested, "and see how many you
can guess?"
"That'll be great" said Danny

went the fine plate glass window,
The sharp edges of the glass cut
Billy somewhat and stopped him so
that he landed just inside the win
dow glass. The other goat was
right in front OF him, still insult
ingly wagging it's flowing beard at
him, SO Billy gave one more spring
from where he stood and knocked
that goat sixteen ways for Sunday.
1t was the hardest goat that Billy
had ever fought, and its sharp nose
hurt his head considerably, almost
stunning him, in fact, SO that he
stood blinking his eyes until the
people in the store had come run
ming up and surrounded the show
window.
Billy was still dazed when the
manager of the store, a nervous
little man with a bald head hit
him sharp crack across the nose
with board. The pain brought
tears to Billy's eyes and still fur
ther dazed him. The manager hit
on the horns, and this woke Billy
up. He looked back at the broken
window through which he had just
come, but the crowd had quickly
gathered there. There were fewer
people inside, so suddenly gather
ing his legs under him, he gave a
spring and went clear over the
manager. The place was deli
catessen store and Billy landed in
big tub of pickles. He did not
care much for pickles, anyhow, so
he quickly scrambled out of them,
knocked over three tall glass jars
that stood on a low bench, and
turned over big cakes of fine
cheese. The manager was right
after him with the board and hit
him two or three thumps with it.
Billy was just about to turn
around and go for the little bald
headed man when he noticed at the
far end of the store round plump
man with his back turned to him.
There seemed something familiar
about his figure and the cut of his
short little coat, and it flashed
across Billy at once that here was
his old enemy, Hans Zug.
Paying no attention to the mana
ger and his little board, he dashed
headlOng down the store for the
plump man. Just as Billy had al
most reached him, the man turned
around. 1t was not Hans Zug after

make room for them. Nobody
wanted to get in the way of that
heavy man and the hard headed
goat. Everybody in the store was
packed in the center aisle, together
with a lot who had come in from
the outside when the excitement
began, and they all made way for
the fat man and for Billy. Women
were screaming and men were
shouting and laughing. The mana
ger was still right after Billy with
his little board and humping him
every now and then on the back,
but Billy scarcely knew it, SO inter
ested was he in giving the fat man
one for Hans Tug.

all, but Billy was going too fast to
stop now Anyhow, ever since he
had known Hans he had taken a
dislike to all fat men, so he dashed
straight ahead. The man darted
behind the counter and ran up the
aisle, Billy close after him.
There never was fat man in
the world who ran so fast as this
one. Everybody had cleared out
of the aisle behind the counter to

PART /.

Billy was getting pretty tired of
running after the carriage. 1t was
not until nightfall that the carriage
rolled into the city of Bern. Billy
had never seen so large city be,
fore and the rumbling of many wag-
ons and carriages, the footing OF
many auto horns, the passing of the
many people on the streets and the
hundreds of lights confused and
surprised him. He was not half so
surprised at this, however, as Mr..
and Mrs. Brown and Frank were
to find Billy behind their carriage
when they stopped in front of a
large, handsome hotel. Frank was
the first one to discover him.
"Oh, see, papa!" he cried. MY
Billy followed us all the way from
the village; SO now | do get to
keep him, don't II"
Mr.. Brown smiled and gave up.
I'm afraid he's an expensive
goat, Frank" was all he said, and
then he gave Billy in charge of one
of the porters who had crowded
around the carriage.
Wash the paint from this goat
and lock him up some place for the
night where he can't do any dam
age" he directed the porter.
Billy was glad enough to have
the dry green paint scrubbed Off
his back and he willingly went with
the porter to a clean little base

JACK HATHAWAY

Captain Northwestern University,
1921.
Through my experiences as CEN
ter | have found that the spiral
pass is the surest. To execute it, |
grasp the ball with my right hand
just ahead of center, with the laces
in my palm. The left hand holds
the ball in position, and is placed
back of the right hand. Some play
ers do not use the right hand at all.
When the ball is held this way.
it is not necessary TO give it any
special twist to make it twirl. 1t
will spin of its own accord as it
leaves your hands.
In order that you will not be
easily toppled over when you are
making your pass, stand with your
legs spread far apart and one foot
a little ahead of the other. Throw
your weight forward In this posi-
ton you are well braced and not
easily upset.
