But the strain had almost been too much. Horace had loved Hilda a very long time. Hilda had taken a long time alone to become thirty. He would ask her once more to marry him, then he would go away, never to return he told himself dramatically.

 Cant .we-my darling?"
 And at last Horace knew bliss.
 Shyly, sweetly, clingingly, and with such slow yielding awakening Hilda was in his arms, and as she lifted her lips to his she murmured:
 "And you'll take care of me. won't you, Horace? And always be good to me? For I'm only a child, Horace dear, and l mustn't, I mustn't ever be disillusioned."
 And Horace was filled with Christ mas charity. He did not tell her of the time-a good many years back now-wh zen she had told him he was too young for her! ...-
 For one thing, he was too happy.
 And for another-he didn't think ! ages amounted to anything anyway. Everyone was as old or as young aa they wanted to be-!

 Hilda promised to marry Horace when she grew up if he'd give her plenty of hot buttered popcorn and Christmas candy elephants in the meantime. It was a strain on Hor- aces slender allowance and it was not always easy to get candy elephants, but he succeeded on the whole.
 There was something so nice about Hilda. She never made remarks as some girls did, and men too, for that matter, which were so annoying.
 When she rang up on the telephone she did not say Guess who's talking, now, just guess," and disguise. her voice. She always considered wheth- CT a person might not very easily be busy, and so did not have what some considered little joke.
 There were some kinds of people Horace couldn't endure. There were those who said, for example: eff the lightning is going to strike you, it's going to strike you. It's absurd to say you're afraid of it.''

Mohardt confessed playing with
the Racine. Wis. American legion
team against the Green Bay, Wis.

Three Notre Dame players-H. An

Ously had been barred from cole
giate competition for playing in this
contest and the Packers were ousted
from the American professional
football association for using col
lege men in It, in violation OF the
school and association rules.
Mohardt Is Just completing his
college course and consequently the
university officials feel, they said,
that il would be useless to inflict the
same punishment upon him as upon
the disqualification from
athletics. Because Of this fact It
was thought last night that the mat
ter might simply have TO be dropped.
Mohardt also said last night that
he had definitely decided to enter
major league baseball. but has not
yet decided what team he Will play
with.
At the end of the baseball season
next fall he said he expected to en-.

Insurance Firm S

Not only are insurance companies
willing to gamble on life and death
but they are ever willing. even an
xious. 10 gamble on the weather.
Practically every major league
club. and a good many OF the min
Ors, are insured against weather on
all the big days In speaking Of the
big days reference is made 10 Sat
urday. Sunday and holidays.
There are any number Of blanket
policies that are offered which are
governed by certain conditions. The
rate Of insurance varies according
to the risk which the company be-
lieves that it is assuming.
Only recently the real value of a
rain policy 10 baseball magnates was
made apparent. There was launched
on the Pacific Coast a winter league
OF baseball in which the four man
ayers were big league stars. Sisler,
Hornsby, Cobb and Heilman.
1t is understood that these four
star players received $4,000 for
their combined service or about
S10,0 each That placed the teams
under a big expense at the very
start. In order TO secure every pro-
lection possible a rain insurance was
carried on all games played.
When the policies were taken out
little thought was given TO the ac-
ton. Usually the weather in Octo-
Der and November is very pleasant.
1t so happened that the league fail

LOCKE HAD PERMIT
TO PLAY BASEBALL
Fail to Uncover New Develop
ments in Charges Against
Iowa Men.

IOWA CITY. Ia. Feb. 3.-The
University OF Iowa athletic authori-
ties declared Friday that there were
no new developments tending to
show that Aubrey Devine. captain of
last years western conference cham
piOnship football team, or Gordon
Locke. captain-elect. are guilty Of
engaging in professional or semi
professional athletics at any time.
Members Of the athletic board Fri
day reafirmed their statements of
Thursday that in their opinion both
athletes were innocent Announce
ment was made Friday that Locke
wrote 20 university authorities last
summer for permission to play base
ball at Kanawha, Ia. He was in
formed, according to Fridays an
nOuncement, that he could do so IL
he conformed 10 the rules.
Locke stated Friday that he knew
the rules regarding professionalism
and the receiving of money for play
ing absolutely CONCERNED with these
regulations in his activities at Ka-
nawha and elsewhere. 4 was
working in Kanawha, and my sole
purpose IN playing base ball was TO
keep in training for football" he
said. Locke says he has no knowl-
edge of purses being split among
players on the Kanawha team. He
says he never received a cent for his
services.
Jones Statement.
Coach Howard Jones said.
There is absolutely no question
that Devine has ever participated in
a professional contest Of any sort or
violated the conference rules. and
from the statements of Locke and
oscar L. Johnson. president OF the
kanawha Baseball association, 7 am
convinced that Locke is also abso-
lutely innocent"
Director Jones expressed the opin-
ion that the summer baseball rule
should either be rigidly enforced or
wiped off the books. and that he
welcomed the investigation, for he
says he is certain that Iowa would
suffer less than any other school in
the conference in a wholesale inves-
tigation of summer ball playing by
college athletic stars.
