Madeline Hammond felt the great
teveling force of the truth. Whatever
the difference between her and Stew

ence set up by false standards OF class
and culture, the truth was that here

heard him swear under his breath.

Then, mounting. he slipped behind
her and lifted and turned her, and
then held her with his left arm so
that she lay across the saddle and his
knees, her head against his shoulder.
As the horse started into a rapid
walk Madeline gradually lost all pain

muscles. Presently she let herself go

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 25.-Uni-
versity of California football
coaches. Andy Smith, Boles Rosen-
thai and 'Nibs" Price. will be
offered new contracts to run for
four or five years, according to an
nouncement made by the Berkeley
authorities yesterday.
It is believed that the rumors of

her to the fore on the gridiron.
1t is understood that Smiths new
contract which will tie him to the
Berkeley institution until 1927 or
1928 is to carry substantial in
crease in salary.
Smiths present contract has
year to run, but the Blue and Gold
authorities did not care to risk
losing the lanl1y mentor to an East
ern college. The contracts of Rosen-
thai and Price will run for the same
period as that OF the head coach.
