Oh, no, her heart was too faint with
her unworthiness. Sally Ann had
no words to tell him this.

less that would take some reaching

had always said: "a worthy bride s.
no. easy won."
But he was thinking of Sally Ann
as a bride? Oh. no, but there was no
harm admiring a lass that held her
self high. He wondered what she
thought of him. and longed for some
word to show that she did not quite
despise him.
Yer no angry that I made We kiss

She shook her head.

She nodded shyly and turned her
face to his. And then he knew that
there was nothing sweeter than to
kneel there on the slated roof in
the moonlight with Sally AIMS
tmorouS arms about his neck and
her breath, fragrant as the air from
new milk, upon his face.
And so throughout the months of

market days, when Mistress NGacIn-

kiss. But he had never said word
of marriage to Sally Ann. and though
at times she saw herself riding to the
Kirk in Skillymarnoc's phaeton be-
hind the dappled grays. she would
push the picture away from her, not
daring TO look upon its brightness
Nor did she grieve at the thought
that 1t might never be- but rather she
held her happiness breathlessly. as
one might hold a cleaning bubble
with spread fingers
1T was the evening of "Stookie Sun.

the kirk to pray for drought to dry
the grain. He had hoped to over
take Sally Ann in the Bracken lane.
but she was not at the kirk, and
neither was Mistress Macintosh This
was more than unusual it came nigh
to being alarming. and the Gype made
sure that some mishap had come to
young Sandy. SO it was with little
caution that he sought Sally Ann

gen for a while-run up an Oxygen
debt" 1t is called a debt, because
like all debts. it must be settled for
later. The consumption of oxygen
Is merely put off for a while, and
after the exertion is finished and the
body is at rest the muscles take in
the oxygen to build up the reserve
mechanism in the muscle again.
1t is much like storage battery.
Imagine an electric motor in place of
the muscle and electricity instead of
oxygen. The motor can be made to
run by electricity that has been
stored up in a battery. But once the
battery Is exhausted the electricity
debt" of the motor, so to speak, has
reached its maximum and the motor
can run no longer unless supplied
with electricity direct from a dynamo
comparable with oxygen coming di-
rectly from the air to the muscle),
or until the battery is recharged.
The significance of the oxygen
debt is that q runner can take in
only so much oxygen at a time from
the air outside. But his muscles
need more than that If he is to
reach his highest speed, so they
draw on the temporary substitute
which the laetic acid helps provide.

much of it doubtless true-but vague.
Now, however, psychologists have en-
tered on the question seriously, and
an English scientist, Prof. A. V. Hill,
| fellow of the Royal Society, is carry
| ing on Investigations which have al.
ready made valuable additions to our
knowledge OF the physiological basis
of athletic records-why and when
the body calls stop
| He explains why speed per minute
decreases very rapidly for a while as
the length Of the race is increased,
/ and then, strangely enough, remains
| almost constant, no matter how long
the event. He shows how the body
can borrow" oxygen, and the imror-
tance of any ones ability to contract
an Oxygen debt; how woman's
athletic ability can be expressed as a
| fractional part of that of a man: and,
perhaps most interesting of all, he
| indicates in what races man has ap.
parently about reached his limit, and
in what others there is still good
chance for energetic young would be
record holders.
In the first place. Prof Hill distin-
| guishes between three different kinds
of fatigue" There is that which re-.
suits in a short time from extremely
| violent effort, and there is the fatigue,
| which may be called exhaustion
which overcomes the body when an
effort of more moderate intensity is
continued for long time. Both of
these can be called muscular. Then
! there is the kind which can be de-
| SCribed as due to Wear-and.tear of the
body as a whole, to blisters, soreness,
stiffness, nervous exhaustion, Sleep
! lessness, and SO on, which may affect
! some one long before his muscular sys-
tenn has given out. All three of these,
! Of course, affect athletic records, but
| it is the first and second kinds which
have been investigated more fully.
The athlete Is supposed to keep him
self free Of the third kind; what he
wants to know is: How long can my
body hold out, If 1t starts out in per-
feet physical shape?
Prof. Hill, to start his investigations,
kept these different types of fatigue
| the important world records in swim
ming, and drew curves representing
the average speed per second reached
in each event, according to the length
| of time the event took. Thus, a man
running hard as he can for 10 seconds
can average about 10 yards second
(speaking in championship terms, of
course); If he runs for so seconds, his
rate drops sharply to 9 yards a Sec
ond; if he runs for 1 minute and 40
seconds, his average rate of speed
drops sharply again to AS yards per
second. But in any races that take
800 seconds or longer, his rate remains
almost the same; at least it changes
much less sharply. A man running
for 900 seconds can make an average
speed of about go yards per second;
If he doubles his running period to 600
seconds, he still keeps about the same
average rate-6 5-10 instead of 69-10.
II he doubles this lattsr and runs for
LOO seconds Oh 70 minutes. his Az
