that their fortune really i2v at sea.
The derelict was at sea. How else,
then, could the prophecy be inter-
preted?
"Well, this steamer Victor isn't ex-
actly travelling overland" McGuffey
to mess around some real engines
again, and gave 1t as his opinion that
fortune was more likely to lurk In n
solid stern-wheel steamer with good
engines and boilers than In battered
hulk at sea. Captain Scraggs agreed
with him most heartily and a tie vote
resulted, Mr.. Gibney inclining toward
the derelict.
"What're we goin' to do about 1t,
Glib" Captain Scraggs demanded.
"When In doubt, Scraggsy, old tar
pot, always play trumps. In order to
make no mistake, right after break
fast you an McGuffey go down to
Jackson street wharf an interview
this man Coakley about his steamer
Victor. You been goin' TO sea long
enough to know good hull when yon
see 1t, an If we can't trust Mac to
know good set of inner works we'd
better dissolve the syndicate. AS for
me an Neils, We'll go down to the
Front an charter a tug an chase out
after that there derelict before the
revenue cutter gets her an blows her
out O. the path o. commerce with n
stick o dynamite"
Forthwith Mr.. Gibney and Neils,
after snatching hasty breakfast, de-
parted for the waterfront, where they
chartered a tug for three days and
put to sea. At about ten o'clock Cap
tain Scraggs and McGuffey strolled
leisurely down to Jackson street wharf
to inspect the Victor. By noon they
had completed a most satisfactory In
| spection Of the steamers hull and
| boilers, and bought her in for seven
thousand dollars. Captain Scraggs
was delighted. He said she was worth
ten thousand. Already he had de-
cided that heavy and profitable
freights awaited the syndicate along
the Sacramento river, where the farm
ers and orchardists had been for
years the victims of monopoly and
a gentlemen's agreement between the
two steamboat lines that piled be-
tween Sacramento, Stockton and San
Francisco.

turned from sea. They were unutter-

Colonel Leader declared i'll his ad-

"The greatest education | ever re-
ceived in my life was on the playing
field said Colonel Leader. "Compe-
titiye athletics teach the participants
initiative, esprit de corps, leadership
and doggedness.
Il cannot help but contrast the life
of the people of Canada with that of

Additional Sports
High School First
String Trims Scrubs
in Practice Game

The high school first string football
team defeated the second team, IS TO g,
Tuesday afternoon. This was probably
the hardest scrimmage of the season.
Both lines tore off substantial gains
throughout the game.
The success of the second lineup was
accredited to the efforts of Pete Bross
and Paul Lynch, former high school
stars, who were working in the back
field. They have been lining up with
the team for several days and are now
proving Their worth against the strong
line of the first eleven. Lowry and
Jaeger were nahbing the ball out of the
air like veterans, and the backfields
were breaking up passes in good style.
The aerial game was the great draw
back on the Blue and White against
Billings last Saturday and for this
reason the squad will spend the week
developing its air attack.
Great Falls should be able to take
most any game III passing, according
to the mentors, and it should have
opened up against Billings. THE boys
can pass fine in practice but they seem
to be afraid to let go of the ball in a
game" said Coach Crouch. The Butte
game is expected to be the hardest
battle Great Falls will have this sea-
son. 1t will be the last one played
here.
