A few days ago the romance of a famous young athlete came to light and all his admirers rejoiced. The boy had gone into the world of sport as 8 means of making @ livelihood And when he became a professional athlete his childhood sweetheart lost faith in him.
 For a long time the boy did noth- ing to justify his choice of a profes- sion. He didn't make good. And then suddenly he leaped into fame and became a hero to the followers of professona sport. And the girl he'd loved when he was 8 struggling youngster realized that he had been her true love all along.
 Undoubtedly any woman is Justified in hest1tating to link her life with that of man she does not believe in. Unless a woman respects a man and feels that he is worthy an6 good and able, she won't make him any hap pier as her husband than she'll be as his wife. Love without faith amounts to nothing more than an illusion or an infatuation.
 But-don't we all admire the man or woman who believes when none of the rest of the world can see? Don't we thrill at the thought of the woman who can wait proudly and contenteo- ly for years while her explorer hus-
 
 rivers source or a pole Or on some high quest which will change the face of the map?
 The little woman who stands by isn't she a figure, to appeal to ou1 i'm aginations
 When we think back to childhood 1t was mother who stood by. She believed in her boys and girls She had faith in their gifts. She so re- spected and encouraged their little talents. she so believed in their faith in found themselves strengthen ed by her belief. And what was only a dream became a high call
 In the ancient fable Hercules strove and strove in vain for a long time with the giant Antaeus. And then at last Hercules discovered that every time he threw his opponent Antaeus rose with new strength. For the earth was the giants mother. And her touch restored him. So finally Hercules seized the powerful giant in his arms and held him up until the strength of Antaeus died in his bones. And what defeated him was that he could no longer find renewal on the bosom of Mother Earth.
 So all of us derive strength from the love of our mothers. And so in later life men and women come to find new strength and inspiration in the touch or the glance of the one whose love has come to mean every thing.
 It is beautiful to reward success with laurel wreat11s. It is gratifying to see men and women reaching their goals though there were none to cheer them on when they began their jour ney. Bnt won't there always be an ache in the heart of a man or wom- an who had to make his or her eff forts alone and without the love for which he or she pleaded and who finds it given fully only when the goal of success is reached?
 We all long to be understood and encourager. We all long for the love that sees eye to eye with us and be- ieves in our dreams. It Is hard enough to climb the hill of endeavor in this world, but isn't it twice as hard when the beloved only smiles scornfu1ly at the dream we would lay at her feet.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 2S-(SpeciaD -Poverty-poverty due to the war has killed the romance of pretty and Vivacious Nancy Leishman and the Duchess of Croy. There comes from Paris the news that the duchess is suing the duke for divorce, and that what was long considered one of tine prettiest love affairs of the time has oeen shattered.
 It is merely a question of money. So long as the duke held to his vast estates and his fortune was undis- turbed, he held out against every at- tempt to divert him from the pur- pose of taking an American wife, and rhen stood against his family, Ger
 man imperialism and the tradition of Old World aristocracy in order that he might have and hold the woman whose wit and beauty charmed him.
 The Dukes of Croy had held for 800 years under the German rule kingdom and empire alike-the large
 possessions of the family. Charles. the thirteenth duke of the line, was 2 lieutenant of the personal guard which surrounded the war lord. That was in 1913.
 There had come to Berlin two years before John G. Leishman of Pittsburgh. He had started as a founding in an orphan home, become q messenger in the Schoenberser
 Steel Works at ten and had gone up and up the scale until at forty he was able to retire, with some millions of dollars. Leishman had contribut- ed uberally to the Pennsylvania Re publican machine and he was given the ministerial post at Constantinople as his reward A tour at Rome and two years at Berlin served to make him one Of the best known Ameri- cans abroad.
 Duke Picks Her for Beauty Mrs. Leishman, daring. ambitious woman. took along her two daugh- ters. Martha and Nancy. They were girls of wonderful charm and much beauty.
 Among these who met Nancy Leishman during her fathers service at Berlin was young Karl, Duke of Croy, handsome in his guard unifoi m. and in high favor with the courts of both Germany and Austria It was a pure love match
 Karl was the descendant of kings; Nancy of a man who had no record beyond the time he came to found ling asylum.

he's well looked out for-and by a woman.
 I've stumbled across one good friend who's hum-dinger and who's making the fur fly in her eff forts to help me unearth a few facts legal and otherwise" I read over again.
 Something frightened in my heart like gigantic band, pressing. pressing until I almost strangled from its merci1ess grip.
 Wherever he was there was a wom- an, too. A wonian was helping him. "A hum-dinger.'' And there was Mabel Storrs here at home. Through these women he was beginning to re- spect the business and professional woman-to respect her whole-heart- edly as I'd never been able to make him do.
 The love words at the end could not make up for the one outstanding fact that there was a woman helping Jim. There is always a woman wherever he is. The thought which came nearest to comforting me in my agony or what I had to acknowledge was jealousy, were the words which showed that Jim, too, was jealous; that he remembered my friendship for Anthony Norreys and resented it as he's always done
 Strangely enough, the thing over which we once had quarreled so bit-. terly gave me some measure of conf- fort now. Jim might write poetically about not telling me how he missed me-and mean no word of it. But if he was still jealous of Tony, he was still my mani

Then her breathing quiet ed, and she let Jim dry here with his own handkerchief. and listened, with an occasional long sigh, to his eager, confident plans.

HARD TIMES AHEAD
 FOR LONDON CLUBS

London, Jan. 26.-London clubiand has for a long time been in a bad way financially, and nothing like a crisis seems to have set in at the end of the year. It is said that resigna,- dons from prominent clubs have been pouring in by the hundreds and thRE club secretaries are at their wits end how to carry on.
 One club has already sent out an s. O. s. to it's members, begging them to pay their dues for 1922 during the current month, failing which there will be foreclosure on the club prem ises.
 Few men nowadays belong to more than one club, instead of half a dozen as was the rule in more prosperous times. and commercially valuable members. meaning those who go to their club daily and spend money there on food. wine and cigars, are somewhat scarce.

of the modern prophet, calling
men and women to persona fright

seas he has a wealth of first hand
experience with the thought and

wonderful playing at center has
been the bulwark of the Newport
offense. Next year he ought to
give Prentiss of Burlington a
hard run for All-Vermont Center.
His election was unanimous which
shows his respect in the eyes of
Newport High school.
Capt. Jim Addison also played
his last game for the Orange and
Black. His leadership of this
years quintet was excellent and
when Jim graduates Newport
High school will lose it's only
three letter man and an able
scholar and athlete.
Crawford Lance, next years
football captain, played a superb
guard game all season. Next
year with Capt. Allbee he will
make the skeleton of another
crack team.
Dick Prouty and Rodney Akin,
the varsity subs, have proved
again and again, their ability to
take the place of any of the first
string men. Both aggressive, they
have proven their material aid to
the success of the team. Both are
lost by graduation.
Coach Walter d. Kipp should
be given the highest praise as his
efforts were rewarded by a
good team.

by.
All the testimony was in regard
to the amount of hay and condi-
ton of the stock except that Of w.
H. Cleary, and Scion Grey.
Mr.. Cleary admitted that though
Gervais surrendered the farm and
the stock on December 3, 1921,
rather than go to jail, he did not
give GerVais any paper, receipts
returned notes or other proof Of
payment.
Mr.. Grey testified, in response
to a question by f. ID. Thompson

all personal property. The case will
be continued Tuesday morning and
it is expected it will go to the jury
Tuesday night or Wednesday
