THOMAS MEIGHAN is rapidly
4 becoming known as the mo-
ton picture star who portrays
stories by well known authors. A
number of them write directly for
him. Two of his recent pictures
for Paramount have been by
George AIDE; a third, in which Ne
is now working, is by Rex Beach,
and another is scheduled which
will be by Booth Harrington.
The two stories by George AIDE,
sour Leading Citizen" and "Back
Home and Broke" were written
for Mr.. Meighan. The Rex Beach
story, which Mr.. Meighan is now
at work on, is "The Meier Do
Well" This was published several
years ago. Most of the scenes are
laid in Panama, and Mr.. Meighan
and company of players spent
six weeks there. The Harrington
story, which will be started in the
near future, will be white Heat"

That's my alec" he asserted, as he
held up the charm that dangled from
the end of his chain, for Blaze's in
spection.
Blaze felt his pulse jump as he
caught sight Of it. Beyond the
shadow OF doubt, It was the charm
that had made the impression in the
sand on the rim-rock above Smoky
Canon.
"Where'd you get this?" Blaze de-
manded anxiously.
81 suppose it's yours?" the other
flashed back.
Il know what I'm talking about.
When did you pick it up?"
"A couple O. days ago, in the sand
around the hitch;n'-post, outside the
door at the Bulls Head"
Blaze handed back his watch.
Pm goin' to keep this, just be-
cause" He held the charm in his
open palm. The red-haired one had
caught something between the lines.
Blaze glanced at him. 1.-THE man
that owns this" he went on, killed
Old Ironsides. "
CHAUTER Xxx
The Cattle Rustlers.
With the slow advance Of the
freight team driven by the slow
er moving Wash the destiny of
Paradise Valley was indisolubly
linked. Cash had the road in shape.
Where Martin Canon narrowed, a
cable had been strung from bank
to bank. The actual building of
the dam only awaited the arrival
of Wash and his precious load of
dynamite.
By means of a fume, the creek
had been diverted around the dam.
So, in complete safety, far from
prying eyes, the structure took
form.
In a blight in Che shoulder of
one of the Timbered Buttes Buck
and Shorty and Gloomy were bus
lily engaged in a work that was
nothing short of art. The good
grass IN the buttes lured the cat
tie there. As Cash had said, the
steers were ready for the market,
This interesting fact had been per-
ceived by the astute Buck some

Virginia's Boxing Team
Will Tackle Cadets

CHARLOTTESVILL Va, Jan.
27.-Virginia's boxing team will get
into the ring for the first time
against the leather pushers of vir-
ginia Military Institute when they
go to Lexington on Monday night.
Something like thousand students
witnessed the tryouts in the gym
nasium this week and saw the elm
nation down to the fighters who
will scrap with the Cadets.
Herbert Falk, captain of the
team, Is to fight in the bantam
weight class. He was unopposed
in the trials, as was Dubois, light
weight. After battling through the
preliminaries Carter scored a tech
nical knockout over Cunningham in
the final match for the feather
wee ut division.
Diffey, former captain of the
Culver ringmen, outpointed Daven-
port in the welterweight class and
Leftkowitz had little trouble dis
posing of Darby. Leftkowitz, who
will fight as a middIeweight, is a
veteran of last season and one of
the hardest fighters who has ever
worn the gloves at Virginia
The Interchangeable class
brought Dibrell, former Lawrence
vile star, against Wilson, an ex-
V. P. ]. man. But Wilson was
not in condition and Dibrell won in
two rounds.
An extra round was necessary to
determine the winner of the heavy
weight match. Fenwick and Pick
rell won in the preliminaries and
fought through draw through
the regulation three rounds. When
the referee called for an extra two
minutes Pickrell showed a shade
better form and won the place over
." big Charlie"
II. L. Bennett, manager of boxing,
has not completed his schedule for
the winter. V. M. I.>~will probably
box return match here early in
February and Washington and Lee
will follow soon after. Yale s.
leatherpunchers may also have a.
place on Virginia s list Of matches.

Middies to Make Many
Long Trips This Year

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. a.
Naval Academy teams will travel
further North and South this spring
than ever before in their athletic
history. Wrestlers and lacrosse
players will go to the North. The
nine will take Southern trip, the

champions of the intercollegiate
Wrestling Association, at Ithaca, on
March II. The Lacrosse team will
meet Syracuse University, of SYRIA
cuse, on May 10. Syracuse and the
Naval Academy We're the only un-
defeated teams in this sport last
year. The nine will play Univer-
sity of North Carolina, at Raleigh,
on March 80, and will meet the
University of Richmond, at Rich
mond, the following day. Up to
this time the farthest point North
at which a Naval Academy team
had contested was New York city,
and the farthest South Washington.

Dates For WOrnen's Golf
Journeys Conflict

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-It is a
sad commentary on the way golf
matters in the East are handled
when two championship tourna-
ments involving the same indi-
viduals are scheduled for the one
week. This is the case with the
Women's Metropolitan Golf Associa-
ton event and the eastern cham.
pionship and Griscom cup matches,
the first being listed for the week
OF June at the Westchester Bit
more Country Club, and the eastern
and 1ntercfty matches at the
Whitemarsh Valley Country Club.
June to 8. Inasmuch as the inter-
city event brings together teams of
women golfers representing New
York, Boston and PHILADELPHIA. ii
Is easy to see that shift will have
to be made some place along the
line.
Incidentally, it might not be a
bad thing for the date for the wo-
mems met" championship to be
changed, as the time chosen also
conflicts with the mems metro
politan event, June to 9, at
Siwanoy.
Dates for practically all the i'm
portant golf tournaments have been
settled upon by this time, and right
now 1t may be said that the
calendar will be more crowded and
have more conflicts this year than
ever before in the history of the
game.
