Indiana is busy preparing for fu-
ture games in an attempt to redeem
itself. Ever since last Saturday when
we took a flip on our snozzle after
picking Indiana to beat Michigan we
have been bordering over the SUBJ
ject. If Michigan beat Indiana with
Winston in the lineup, will Indiana
be able to beat Michigan without
Winston? The two teams clash again
on Feb. 10 at Ann Arbor. VIII the
Deanmen come back and show the
Wolverines how basketball really is
played in Hoosierland, or will they
go back 'ker-flop" and let Michigan
walk off with the Big Ten champion
ship?
Yes, we're still siding with our
LoganspOrt team. Wen stack alb
we have with Cliff Wells and his
boys. Speaking of Logansport
brings us to Lefty" Evans. Is
there as good a Backyard I'm the
State as Evans? We have seen a
large number of good guards this
year, but Lefty" stands out head
and shoulders. He is not only n
great defensive mar, but spark
ling offensive threat. We think he
has the goods.

TIT will be an interesting night
at Marion, Friday. Marion,
1926 State high school cham
pion, will clash with a team many
believe to stand a very good chance
for the 1927 title-AIartinsvi It
is a we'll known fact the Giants have
been hitting the bumps lately. The
team cracked about four weeks ago
and until last Friday did not seem
to be able 10 hit it's stride. Martins
vile has been tearing along like a
house on fire all the while. Marion
snapped out of it last weekend and
swamped Wabash. Now, we have
seen the 1926 State champs perform
and believe we have a very good
idea of what they are capable of
doing. 1t is a heavy team, a fashy
team and once getting a fifty-fifty
break can step along with the best
of them. The Giants played a flashy
brand of ball against Anderson about
four weeks ago and downed the In
dams. Two weeks later Anderson
went up to Marion for the return
game, found the champs a badly
demoralized outfit and walked away
with an easy victory.
Martinsville may, or may not,
have an easy time. Martinsville,
in our opinion. isn't as strong as
many fans believe. Stop Reynolds
crashing through the center and
half of the Artesians' power on
Offense is gone. II takes nerve
something most high school teams
seem TO lack when needed most.

A great deal of the attractiveness
of this style is due, of course, to the
materials of which it is made. The
sketch shows it carried out in
gay, checked silk or taheta, with
the collar, pocket flaps and hem Of
crisp, white organdy. However, if
a cotton material is preferred,
gingham, French Wolfe, or or
CANDY in checked or fowered de-
sign would be quite pretty. Then
the collar, pockets and hem would
be of white or plain color to match
the print.
May be obtained in sizes IA to
20, or "a to 49, Size l8 requires

CHAPTER XVII


John Nye's big brown automobile
was standing before the apartment
| house when Sally turned into the
street that warm October night.
Its bright headlights silvered the
| pavement in front of il and dimmed
the stars in the sky above It. As
Sally came abreast Of it, it gave
a long loud siren-call and Miles
gay voice called out to her:
lies gay voi.e called out to her:
"Hi. you, Sally! Where you been
so long? We've been waiting for
you almost an hour"
"Waiting?" echoed Sally, crossing
| the sidewalk and coming to a stand
still beside the brown car. why
were you waiting for me-"
In the darkness above the dash
light she could make out Miles
small white face and beyond it John
Nye's dark
1t was he who answered her.
"Im making an IL o'clock train
tonight, Miss Jerome" he said. "And
Miles going TO drive me down TO
| the station and keep the car until
| come back TO town. l thought per-
haps you'd drive down with Us and
then she wouldn't have to come back
alone"
"Oh, yes" Sally nodded her head
in the darkness. "All right. I'll run
| upstairs first and see If Mother has
everything she needs"
IL did that, dear" said Mile. at
her very sweetest. She'll be all
| right until we get back" She leaned
back in her seat and opened the rear
door of the car.
But Sally hesitated. . Mile
might not be telling the truth about
her mother. Mile was more capable
Of warping the truth when. it pleased
her TO do il.
did you give her her hot milk"
she asked uncertainty. And find her
glasses for her, and help her into her
clothes for the night?"
Oh, for heavens sake, yesl"
Mile snapped impatiently. "Do you
suppose I'D say / had if | hadn't?
And do you think I'd leave Mother If
| didn't positively know she was
comfortable? You know l wouldn't"
But Sally knew that she would If
she felt like it.
She racked her brains. but she
couldn't remember a single time
when Mile had done anything to-
wards making Mrs. Jerome comfort
able and contented.
But, without half trying, she could
recall any number Of times when
Mile had scolded her mother for
demanding so much waiting upon.
"She may be sick" she had often
said GROSSLY to Sally, shut she's not
so sick that she couldn't keep my
clothes mended up If she wanted to-!
She can read all day and half the
night, and that doesn't seem to in
jure her health!~
But Mile was singing an alto
gether different tune now. We've
Just spoiled Mother" she was saying
to John Nye. "There's not a reason
in the world why she shouldn't stay
alone in the flat sometimes In the
evening-but she hates 10. and that's
what Sally's thinking of now. Come
on. hop in. Sally; we won't be gone
very longl And Mothers all right.
I just saw her"
Sally hoped in, and the brown car
started. After all. Mrs. Jerome
never was downright i'll unless she
had over-eaten. And besides, as
John Nye had pointed out, Mile
ought not ia drive home alone at
midnight.
The night was sweet and damp and

This time Mile groaned in mock
despair. sally, you just never will
learn anything about men, will you: Z"
she asked. Don't you know that
they just adore an innocent little
simp Of a girl who doesn't know
enough to drive a car or come in out
Of the rain? At least, the Johnny
Nye type Of real herman does! If
I'd told him that Davidson taught
me to drive, he'd have wondered
how well | knew Davidson, and il
he put his arms around me when he
showed me how to steer around the
corners, and SO on"
did Davidson teach you to drive -
Sally asked. and Mile nodded Wig
orously.
I'll tell the waiting world that he
did He taught me to smoke, too,
and he mixed me the first high-ball
ever raised TO my lips" she re-
piled, and her voice grew more and
more wistful as she went on talk
ing. Il had a circus with Davidson,
always, but he's not the marrying
kind. NV Johnny's nice, and he has
a lot of money and he'll make a
perfect husband for me-"
Sally tried to answer but failed.
There was a lump in her throat
kept her painfully silent.
II SURE do miss Davy Davidson,
though" the light voice beside her
ran on. "He knew how to show a
girl a good time. . Now, you take
John Nye. He's much too polite for
me! He thinks that no nice girl
would step inside of a road-housel
His WI sister never was allowed 10
go to them before she got married.
| don't know WEATHER / can live up
to such a family or not! / like pep,
and plenty of IT,"
Its all settled. then. that you're
going TO marry John Nye?" asked
Sally, as they turned into their own
driveway and parked the brown car
in the tiny backyard.
ooh, | don't know. He hasn't said
anything about il yet,' Mile said.
But, Jimmy, il certainly looks as
if he meant business, doesn't it?
Lending me his car and giving me
that gold vanity case and all those
books and things. Oh, Pm sure he's
serious, Sally. ! can tell whether a
man likes me or not"
In silence they climbed the stairs.
