Trunks vs. Boomers for Girl Athletes

Miss Boone having been dressed just like Miss Durrant
 It is said all except Miss Durrant expressed contrition, and she de clared she was in a movement tc broaden athletics for girls at the uni. versity and would fight it to the end

 Miss Durrant says that when she and Miss Boone posed in trunks they were not thinking of what 1t wss proper to wear at the university. but of what would get the best publicity in an effort to bring about competi tions with other institutions. Ath letics for women at the university ars intramural.
 "We only want to interest other girls like ourselves so we can play hockey, baseball and other games al towns like Everett and Tacoma" ex plains Miss Durrant.

 ''If the commissioner of health has any business with me let him call me himself" said MT. Silberstein. point edly Doctor Bundesen did so.
 If you want to talk to me, come down to my office," ordered Silber- stein. noisily banging up the receiver
 When brought to Doctor Bundesen's office, Silberstein denied emphatically that he shot a block-long screech from the siren of his car as he turned from State street into Garfield boule yard. He said he never was on Gar field boulevard in his life.
 'You can tell that to the judge said Doctor Bundesen.
 Silberstein let it be known that his car is So-and-so. Doctor Bundese sen noticed that the license records show Silberstein's car as a This-and-that. He admitted switching license tags On the two cars without notifying the secretary of state. Doctor Bundesen ordered that in addition to the noise making charge, the charge of switch ing tags be placed against him.

Nice Boy but a Devastating Appetite

NEW YORK.-There was g tow ~ headed, black-eyed boy, not much more than two years old, on the New Orleans car of train which reached the Pennsylvania station at 6 a. m. He vas such boy as is envelOped in the embraces of wealthy looking grandparents or uncles or aunts on the train platform. and the porter, who had mothered him all the way from Shreveport, La., was looking forward confidently to such a demon stration. He expected it to be at least a $1O party.
 To his chagrin, there was no party at all. Nobody met the boy. The porter waited with him. to make cer- tain, until the cars were taken to the yards, for he was out the price of the boys meals during the trip.
 It was a somber looking porter in- deed who led the youngster to the matron's room in the station. The train was just pulling out of Shreve- port, he said, when woman raced alongside his car with a greenback in one hand and the boy in the other.
 The porter accepted both and also

Times Change and Dancing With Them

r OS ANGELES.-And now comes 0 dancing with the mind! Many funny things have happened with the passing of time and at one period when a young woman who dared to dance publicly with anything except her feet was subject to an immediate trip to the hoosegow. But times change-so has dancing. Miss Irene d'Annelle has arrived in Los Angeles to teach dancing with the mind.
 Dancing is merely an expression of primitive instincts unless subject ed to the refining influence of mental processes" says Miss d'Annelle. "There is philosophy in the dance of peoples just as there is philosophy in their religion, art or literature"
 It is to teach this philosophy in the formation of a club that Miss d'An- nelle says she has come to Los An geles.
 In pointing out the possibilities of dance philosophy, Miss d'Annelle said that if the working girl is given an appreciative understanding of the beauty of movement and the benel-s

must have rushed his horse too hard. gone-tried to stagger to his feet when we came up, but couldn't make it. Kind of acted like he'd lost his senses through fear or exposure or something. Asked me who I was, and I said Bard- well. Seemed to be tickled to hear my name-but he called it Barnham. Then he got up on his hands and knees and clutched at me and asked me if I'd drawn out all the money and mad 1t safe. Just to humor him, l said l had. He tried to say something after that, but it wasn't much use. The first thing we knew he'd passed out. That's where Harry is now-took him over to the mortuary. There isn't anybody named Barnham, is there?" "Barnham?" The name had nwak- ened recollections for Fairchild; ''why he's the fellow that-'' But Anita cut in. He's a lawyer in Denver. They've been sending all the income from stock sales to him for deposit. If Maurice asked if he'd gotten the money out, it must mean that they meant to run with all the proceeds. We'll have to telephone Denver" The message went through. Then the two sheriffs rose and looked at their revolvers. "Now for the tough one" Bardwell made the remark, and Mason smiled grimly. Fairchild rose and went to them.
 May I go along?"
 "Yes, but not ehe girl. Not this time"
 Anita did not demur. Fairchild walked to her side.
 You won't run away" he begged.
 I'll be right here," she answered, and with that assurance, he followed the other two men out into the night.
 Far down the street, where the rather bleak outlines of the hotel showed bleaker than ever in the frigid night, light was gleaming in sec ond-story window. Mason turned to his fellow sheriff.
 He usually stays there. That must be him-waiting for the kid"
 The three entered. Tiptoeing, they went to the door and knocked. A high pitched voice came from within. 'That you, Maurice?' Fairchild answered in the best imi- tatiOn he could give.
 "Yes. I've got Anita with me-"
 Steps, then the door opened. For just a second Squint Rodaine stared at them in ghastly, sickly fashion. Then he moved back into the room, still facing them.
 Whats the idea of this?" came his forced query. Fairchild stepped for ward.
 Simply to tell you that every things blown up as far as you're concerned. Mir Rodaine."
 "You needn't be so dramatic about it. You act like I'd committed mur-

der! What we I done that you should"
 "Just a minute. I wouldn't try to act innocent. For one thing, I hap pened to be in the same house with you one night when you showed Crazy Laura. your wife, how to make people immortal. And we'll probably learn a few more things about your character when we've gotten back there and interviewed"
 He stopped his accusations to leap forward, clutching wildly. But in vain. With a lunge, Squint Rodaine had turned, then, springing high from the floor, had seemed to double in the air as he crashed through the big pane of the window and out to the twenty foot plunge which awaited him. Hur- riedly they gained the window, but al- ready the form of ROdaine had un, rolled itself from the snow bank inta which it had fallen, dived beneath the protection of the low coping which ran above the first-1oOr windows of the hotel, skirted the building in safety and whirled into the alley that lay be! yond. Squint Rodaine was gone Frantically, Fairchild turned for the door, but a big hand stopped him.
 "Let him go-let him think he's got ten away" said grizzled Sheriff Mason. "He ain't got chance. There's snow everywhere-and we can trail him like a hound dawg trailing a rabbit. And I think I know where he's bound for. Whatever that was you said about Crazy Laura hit awful close to home It ain't going to be hard to find that rattler!"

 There is the dance of the war rior. the peasant and the priest. Why not the dance of the stenographer, the clerk, the cook?" she asks.

suddenly flared against the gleam of the carbide. An exclamation, an ex- cited command to the horse. and the rider wheeled, rushing down the noun tain side. urging his mount to dan gerous leaps, sending him plunging through drifts where a misstep might mean death, fleeing for the main road again. Anita Richmond screamed:
 That's Maurice! I got a glimpse of his facei He's gotten away-go after him sOmebody-go after him !"
 But it was useless. The horseman had made the road and was speeding down it. Rushing ahead of the oth- CTS, Fairchild gained a point of vant- age where he could watch the fading black smudge of the horse and rider as 1t went on and on along the rocky road, finally to reach the main thor oughfare and turn swiftly. Then he went back to join the others.
 Hes taken the Center City road" came his announcement "Is there a turmoil on it anywhere?'
 ''No." Anita gave the answer. "It goes straight thrOugh-but he'll have a hard time making it there in this blizzard. If we only had horses"
 ''They wouldn't do us much good now! Climb on my back. You can handle these two men alone?" This to his partner. The Cornishman grunt- ed.
 "Yes. They won't start anything Why?"
 "Tm going to take Miss Richmond and hurry ahead to the sheriff's office. He might not believe me. But he'll take her word-and that'll be sufficient until you get there with the prisoners. I've got to persuade him to telephone to Center City and head off the Ro- daines!"

long enough to know when I can get by"
 He clangeI angrily toward the next corner where other trucks were parked.
 "I suppose some fool will step out here to tell me how to run my car," he snapped. He glanced contemptuously at truck as his car glided toward 1t. But there was no ''fool to give di- rections this time and, to the very great astonishment and chagrin of the motorman who knew "hOw to run 'em," his car sideswiped the truck Kansas City Star.

CHAPTER XIX

He stopped and Anita, laughing at her posture, clambered upon his back, her arms about his neck. Fairchild found himself wishing that he could carry her forever, and that the road to the sheriff's office were twenty miles away instead of two. But her voice cut in on his wishes.
 q can walk now. We can get along so much faster!" came her plea. 'T'll hold on to you-and you can help me along"
 Fairchild released her and she seized his arm. Once, as they floundered through a knee-high mass, Fairchild's arm went quickly about her waist and he lifted her against him as he literally carried her through. When they reached the other side, the arm still held Its place-and she did not resist. Some way. after that, the stretch of road faded swiftly. Almost before he realized it. they were at the outskirts of the city.
 Grudgingly he gave up his hold up- on her. as they hurried for the side walks and for the sheriff's office. There Fairchild did not attempt to talk-he left it all to Anita, and Bardwell, the sheriff, listened. Taylor Bill had con- fessed to the robbery at the Old Times dance and to his attempt to so ar range the evidence that the blame would fall on Harry. Taylor Bill and Blindeye Bozeman had been caught at work in a cross-cut tunnel which led to the property of the Blue Poppy mine, and one of them, at least, had admitted that the sole output of the Silver Queen had come from this thiev- ing encroachment. Then Anita con- pleted the recital-of the plans of the Rodaines to leave and of their depart ure for Center City. At last, Fairchild spoke, and told the happenings fhich he had encountered in the ramshackle house occupied by Crazy Laura. It was sufficient. The sheriff reached for the telephone.
 "No need for hurry" he announced. "Young Rodaine can't possibly make that trip in less than two hours. We've got plenty of time e-hello-Central? Long distance, please. Whats that? Yeh-Long Distance. Want to put in n call for Center City" A long wait, while a metallic voice streamed over the wire into the sheriff's ear. He hung up the receiver. Blocked" he said shortly. "The wires down."
 "But there's the telegraph"

sf thing. And they planned to leave these two men behind here to take all the blame."
 They'll get enough of iti" added Harry grimly. They're miners. They could see that they were making a straight cross-cut tunnel on to our vein They ain't no children, Blindeye and Taylor Bill. And 'ere's where they start getting their trouble"
 He pulled at the door and it yielded grudgingly. The three slipped past, following along the line of the tram track in the darkness, Harry's pick handle swinging beside him as they smeaked along. Rods that seemed miles; at last lights appeared In the distance. Harry stopped to peer ahead. Then he tossed aside his weapon.
 There's only two of 'em-Blindeye end Taylor Bill. I could whip lem hsth myself. but I'll take the big 'un. Ysu-" he turned to Fairchild-"you xe< Blindeye"

THE CROSS-CUT

Take me down to the sheriff 8 office," he commanded. "Tll tell every thing. I don't know so awful much because I ain't tried to learn any thing more than I could help. But I'll give up everything I've got"
 And how about himT Fairchild pointed to Blindeye, just regaining consciousness. Taylor Bill nodded.
 Hell tell-he'll have to-"
 They trussed the big miner then, and dragging Bozeman to his feet, started out of the cross-cut with them, Har- ry's carbide pointing the way through the blind door and into the main tun- nel. Then they halted to bundle themselves tighter against the cold blast that was coming from without. Onto the mouth of the mine. Then they stopped-short.

A mo ment later he discovered that the greenback was $1 bill, that the boy had an extra sailor suit in package under his arm and half-fare ticket to New York, but was otherwise un- prepared for the journey. He was nice boy, the porter said, but he had a devastating appetite.
