had made her thoughtful? Mostly it was
something new or sudden or jnexplic-

analysis. In this instance the thing
that had struck Madeline was Stew
arts glance. He had looked at her,
and the old burning, inscrutable fire,
the darkness, had left his eyes. Sud-
denly they had been beautiful. The
look had o been one of surprise or
admiration; nor had 1t been one of
love. She was familiar, too familiar
with all three. 1t had not been a gaze
of passion, for there was nothing
beautiful in that. Madeline pondered.
And presently she realized that Stew
arts eyes had expressed a strange joy
of pride. That expression Madeline
had never before encountered in the
look of any man. Probably its strange
ness had made her notice it and ac-
counted for her %blushing. sThe longer

School Basket Ball Teams.

A special meeting of the Sunday
School Athletic Assoeia ton was held
at the City "Y" Tuesday night to dis
cuss the question of arranging for q
sufficient number of practice courts
for league teams.
1t was suggested that an attempt be
made TO purchase an airplane hangar
from the government and move it TO a
convenient site in the CITY. Such a
hangar would provide sufficient prae-
tice space and enough seating capacity
for the spectators at championship
games.
A committee was appointed 10 look
into the feasibility OF this plan. The
association is in q desperate plight to
find courts for the great number
of teams entered in the lcage this
year.
Other business included the admis-
sion of Denver Heights Presbyterian
and blackberry Street Methodist sun
day schools into the basket ball
league.
Another committee was appointed to
investigate the suggested changes IN
the constitution and IN report Mt the
next meeting. which will be held Tues
day. October 30. At this time dates

schedules for the season made out.
