CHAPTER XII
An Eventfui Life

Down to the time of Nigel Brother
tons death, Mary Furnivals life had
been eventful.
She could not remember her father,
and her mother had died when she
was 10, leaving her to manage as best
she could on the small income of
something under a hundred year.
It had seemed wealth to Mary in
those early days only afterward, when
she came to realize that there are
things such as board and lodgings and
travelling expenses to be paid for be-
sides clothes and simple pleasure, did
she understand that hse must look
around for ways and means by which
to supplement her slender income.
An advertisement in a morning pa
per had led to her finding a place as
typist in a city office.
She made no friends and the ad
vent of Nigel Bretherton into the drab
monotony Of her life had seemed like
a glimpse of Heaven.
He was n friend of her Employers
son. AMI once-pausing on his way
| through the office, where she sat. he
had stopped and jokingly offered her
a penny for her thoughts.
That had been one of the days
when a patch of blue sky was visible
above the ugly chimney-pots, and
Mary had pointed to it and answered
that she was wondering what it must
be like to live IN the country, where
there was no smoke, and where the
sun always shone.
The answer had amused and in
tererested him, even though he told
her tina. there was no place on earth
where the sun always shone. She
was different from the fluffy, gig
Cling girls OF his acquaintance, and
one day he hesitatingly asked her to
come out and have some tea with
| him.
And SO the curious friendship had
started.
No man had ever paid Mary atten.
ton before, and it seemed to her ig-
norance that this was Romance with
a capital letter, and the first step to
tho 'Happy-ever-after' Land. OF which
she had hitherto only dreamed.
For four years she had been moro
than happy and content with his
friendship. and then, without a word
Of warning, her dream castles came
gathering to the ground.

you again, old fellow. 1 hope you

such a mistake.
Not that I'm blaming Dolly. It's
cut both ways, and she hasn't been
any happier than have. We weren't
suited; there was another man she
really cared for, and well, one can
see where mistakes are made when
it's too late.
Mary Furnival is with Dolly while
| am out here; she's the best woman
in the world. and the best friend I've
ever had. She'd have pulled me
through, if I'd not been such a fool
and you'd have liked her. But it's
no use now. or ] suppose I shouldn't

had plenty Of time to think. We were
such good pals. God bless herr
After speaking with Mary and be
lieving her to be his brothers wife,
Bretherton had marveled at the half
spoken confession of love for another
woman the letter had contained; but
now, in the light of what Monty Fish
er had said, and what he himself had
instinctively guessed. many things
were made clear.
Nigel had loved this woman. this

Dora was delighted at the idea;

all the lights and propped the little
photograph Of Nigel and his wife
against the dressing-table glass. He
stood looking down at it for a mo.

which Mary Furnival had given him
from his pocket, and opened it.

HELEN HAS CHANCE
Miss Wills, California Tennis Marvel.
 Conceded to be Worthy Opponent
 For Suzanne Lcnglen.

San Francisco, Jan. 3. - If Helen Wills can raise her game to the heights she is capable of she has d splendid chance to defeat Suzanne Lenglen in the Olympic games in Paris, says William c. Fuller, the na- tional ehampions chief adviser and tennis eoaoh. Miss Wills will be number one player on the women's tennis team the United States will send to France.
 ''I saw Lenglen in 1921" said Full Ter and she is just as good now, if not better, than she was then. She is the most versatile player l ever saw would call her a female Til- den.' She has everything to give her in return. That is why l say Helen must raise her game. She can win but she needs much improvement"
 Fuller last year predicted that Miss Wills would defeat Mrs. Molla Nal Iory. the champion. a prophecy she fulfilled
 "Helen's game" said Fuller. "is very much better than when she re- turned from the east last fall. She is covering court faster. Slowness on her feet has beeff one of her great faults. He rsense of anticipation is keener. Her volleying shows vast improvement. In fact, she is playing a much more aggressive game all aroung.
 Her service, however, is still far from what l want it to be-"

THE PREMIER EFFORT

Many new records have been huDg up in the sport world during the year now drawing to a close. But the out standing one no doubt was that made in the 220-yard low hurdles by Charles Brookins of Iowa university. Brookins topped the barriers in the remarkable time Of 23 2-5 seconds, thus breaking d mark that had with stood all assaults over 25 year space. In 1898 Alvin kraenzle:-, Penn celebrity, did the furlong event in 2S-3-5. Since that time J. l. Wen dell and Bob Simpson succeeded in tying the record but none was able to beat it until Brookins came across the horizon. Incidentally. the 220- yard hurdle record set by kraenlein a quarter of q century ago outlasted every other track and field mark on the books. That's what makes Brook ins' effort stand out as the banner feat in a year sprinkled with sens,.- tional performances.
