She started violently.

"Eustace is on board! Oh, this is
awful! What shall / do when meet
him?'
'sOh, pass 1t off with light laugh
and a genial quip. Just say: oh, here
you are = or something. You know the
sort ofNthing"
1t will be terrible"
Not a bit of it. Why should you
feel embarrassed? He must have real
lied by now that you acted in the
only possible way. 1t was absurd his
ever expecting you to marry him.
mean to say, just look at it dispassion-
ately .. Eustace . poor
old Eustace and yOu! The
Princess and the Swineherd!"
Does Mr.. Hignett keep pigs?" she
asked, surprised.
Il mean that poor old Eustace is
so far below you, darling, that, with
the most charitable intentions. one can
only look on his asking you to marry
him in the light of Q record exhibition
of pure nerve. A dear, good fellow, of
course, but hopeless where the sterner
realities of life are concerned. A man
who can't even stop dog-hght! In
world which is practically one

could you trust yourself to such a

"0h, splendid chap" said Sam toll

Have you ever heard him sing?
think what first attracted me to him
was his beautiful voice. He really
sings extraordinarily WE'LL"
A slight but definite spasm of jeal-
ousy afflicted Sam. He had no OBJ
lection to praising poor old Eustace
within decent limits, but the conversa-
ton seemed to him to be combining
itself too exclusively to one subject.
"Yes?' he said. "Oh, yes. I've heard
him sing. Not lately. He does draw
ing-room ballads and all that sort Of
thing still, suppose?"
Have you ever heard him sing My
love is like glowing tulip that in an
old-world garden grows'?"
Il have not had that advantage. !"
replied Sam stifiy. "But anyone can
sing drawing-room ballad. Now

Eustace Hignett SHE'D like startled
horse. His friends profile, seen dimly,
had been disconcerting enough. Full
face, lie was revolving object Moth
ing that Eustace Hignett had encoun-
tered in his recent dreams-and they
had included such unusual fauna as
elephants in top hats and running
shorts-had affected him SO profound
ly. Sans appearance smote him like
blow. 1t seemed to take him straight
into different and dreadful world.
"What what what
Z. D. he gurgled.
Sam squinted at himself in the glass
and added touch of black to his
nose.
How do / lookT
Eustace Hignett began to fear that
his cousins reason must have become
unseated He could not conceive of
any really sane man, looking like that
being anxious to be told how he
looked.
Are my lips red enough? It's for
the ships concert. you know. 1t
starts in half an hour, though I be-
lieve I'm not on till the second part.
Speaking as a friend, would you put
g touch more black round the ears,
or are they all right?"
Curiosity replaced apprehension in
Hignett's mind.
"What on earth are you doing per-
forming at the ships concerto
"Oh. they roped me in. 1t got about
somehow that was valuable man
and they wouldn't take no." Sam
deepened the color Of his ears. "As a
matter of fact" he said casually, "my
fiancee made rather a point Of my

A sharp yell from the lower berth
proclaimed the fact that the signifi-
canoe of the remark had not been lost
on Eustace.
"Your fianceeY
THE girl Pm engaged to. Didn't |
tell you about that? Yes, I'm en-
gagged"
Eustace sighed heavily. u
Il feared the worst. Tell me, who
is she?"
Didn't tell you her nameY'
"No."
Curious! / must have forgotten"
He hummed an airy strain as he black
ened the tip of his nose Its rather
curious coincidence, really. Her
name is Bennett"
"She may be a relation"
that's true. OF course. girls do
have relations"
''What is her first manner"
'Tilat is another rather remarkable
thing It's Wilhelmina."

"Of course, there must be hundreds
of girls in the world called Wilhelmina

what color Is her hair?" demanded
Eustace Hignett in a hollow voice.
Her hair! What color is it?"
''Her hair? Now, let me see. You
ask me what color is her hair. Well,
you might call it auburn or
russell or you might call it
Titan. ;"
'Never mind what you might call it.
Is it red?"
"Red? Why, yes. That is a very
good description of it. Now that you
put it to me like that, it is red"

suddenly when she gets excited, like
kitten with ball Of wool?
"Yes. Yes, she has,

There should be plenty Of action in
those contests for the most sophIsti-
Gated Of football fans. If team does
not fight in the final fray with rival
of long standing, there is something
so hopelessly wrong that all the

the weakness.

Notrer Dame has no easy assign
ment in its Carnegie Tech game at

nineteen tribes, are in the Haskell
SQUAD. They play st. Xavier at Gin
cinnati, Thanksgiving.

Levi is better than Jim Thorpe. They
say he equals Thorpe in some ways,
but not in all However, Thorpe has
judged Levi the best Indian gridder
of the year.

varsity with two exceptions, played
last fall. The new men are Joe Bach
and Grove from last years freshman
team.
Look back at the freshman team of
two years ago, 1921. and the lineup
reveals backfield made up OF Stunl-
dreher, Layden, Crowley and Don Mil.
Ter. They are the backfleld stars Of
the 1923 combination. In the line there
was Adams, Walsh, STANCE, Miller,
Vergara, Collins and Kiser, now starr
ing on the varsity.
The freshman team of 1921, aside
from scrimmaging against the varsity,
played two games as freshmen, los
ing to Lake Forest Academy, 81 to o.,
and the Michigan Aggies freshmen,
10 to 6. The freshmen players Of 1921
compose the varsity of 1928. Two
years ago the crack Notre Dame team
of today was a green bunch Of fresh
men, easy for preparatory and fresh
men teams.
What is the answer?
First, Knute Rockne, second, the
Rockne system in athletics, which
starts the moment freshman enters
the college.

Here in Boston, in proximity to the
heart Of Harvard, confidence in the
Harvard varsity eleven has wavered
to the point where the only hope ex-
pressed is: Harvard will fight, and a
lighting team always has a chance"
For big city, Boston takes its Har-
ward Yale game seriously. Shop win
dows on the busy streets were filed
with Blue and Crimson banners and
conversation everywhere was confined
to the game.
Harvard students know the dope
points against them this year and
they are insisting that Yale is a z
to-2 bet. Yale money was being Of
fered at this price also.
Harvard hopes also that Yale viii
go into the game with too much con-
f1dence and Harvard men are doing
and saying everything to encourage
Yale into believing that it has an I'M
beatable team.

IL believes in athletics, creates q
desire In many school athletes to en-
ter our institution" said Rockne-
This makes for good material, which
makes for a successful coach.
An attempt is made to interest
every boy who enters Notre Dame in
some form OF athletics. Often stud
ent who did little or nothing as high
school athlete, probably because of
lack of interest, develops into a col
lege star.
''Notre Dame spirit gets the stud
ents out on tie football field, regard
less of previous records as school ath-
ieteS- This enables the coaches to
pick up many a great player who
would otherwise be overlooked in the
shuttle
After our decisive defeat of the
Army and Princeton, the report was
circulated in some quarters that Notre
Dame was rather lax as to the eligi-
bility rules. That is a very erroneous
and undeserved impression. Few
schools are much stricter as to the
standing Of their athletes in class
work"
It is very unfair to Notre Dame for
any one to question the status of men
