MONMOUTH WINS
FROM ALED0 BY
II TO II SCORE
Hard Alexis Game Friday Night
Took Pep Out of Team; Play
Cambridge Wednesday.
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, Jan. 9.-After defeating
Alexis high school Friday evening
to the tune of PITS, the Aledo high
quintet were beaten the next night
by the Monmouth five, the game
ending 17-12.
Due to the fact that the first
game turned into a football battle
the locals were worn out when they
entered the Monmouth game. The
gym at Monmouth was larger than
the local gym, which was also
against Aledo. Both games were
fast and furnished the fans with
plenty of excitement. Aledo mas
developed a strong team and fans
here feel confident that they will
rank high in the tournament.
Wednesday night the Aledo team
will meet the fast Cambridge high
school five at the local William and
Vashti college gym. The locals are
expecting this game to be one OF
their hardest of the season and are
DESTROYS of the support of all bas-
ketball fans.

A portion OF East MoIine's bust
ness district was menaced by fire
which broke opt in the shoe store
OF Theo Kouchoukos, $50 Fifteenth
avenue, at 2:15 O'Clock this morn
ing. Through the vaIient work of
the firemen, however, the blaze was
confined to the one building, al
though barber shop on the west
and a candy store on the east were
cor siderably damaged by smoke.
Kouchoukos estimates his loss at
81 800. Practically all of his shoe
stock was ruined and the machinery
and fixtures were damaged. An
electric shoe repair machine in the
store was valued at $1,000 The
building also contained clothes that
were to be cleaned and shoes to be
repaired. The building which is
owned by C. J. Aldene of Moline
was damaged to the extent of prob
ably $500. Kouchoukos carried ST.
900 insurance on his stock and
equipment.
1t is not known how the fire
started Kouchoukos was informed
of the fire by a policeman who
called at the house shortly after
2 o'clock. The fire apparently

in the stove when he left the store

Bruce dressed slowly. He wouldn't
waken the two women that slept in
the next room, he thought. He crept
slowly out into the gray dawn. He
made straight for the great pine that
stood a short distance from the house.
For reasons unknown TO him, the pine
had come often into his dreams. He
had thought that its limbs rubbed to
gether and made words-but Of the
words themselves he had hardly
caught the meaning. There was some
high message in them, however; and
the dream had left him with vague
curiosity, an unexplainable desire to
see the forest monarch In the day.

tree was even more impressive in the

strangeness Of the picture that she
sat almost limp, rather than leaning
forward in appeal. Bruce looked al
her In growing awe.
But as the seconds passed he seemed
no longer able to see her plainly. His
