Louis Denisher, last Of the Denisher
family, has returned to his old home
and is attempting to farm the old home
stead, after spending many years in
Russia as the pupil of a Russian musi-
clan, Andreiev. During a revolution,
Andreive is killed and Louis escapes to
America with the musicians two small
sons, Michael and Alexis. During the
fight which occurs while Louis is making
his escape he is wounded in the arm by
a Russian guard, which forces him to
abandon his career as a pianist. 1t is
Christmas time and Michael and Alexis
have made Christmas greens which they
are to market in the village, but stop at
the Barley home, where Lucy Barley
has come to spend the holidays, and she
buys their entire stock Of green's and
wreaths. Miss Barley is very friendly to
the boys and has invited them into the
house.
And now the story
A BOVE the mantel goggled a

branches of a tree. Here's something
for you, old chap!" cried Miss Bar
bey, throwing a wreath to catch upon
a prong of his horns, but when she
turned to her guests they were not
observing her.
They were standing, hand in hand, per
fectly still, the greens lying unregarded
upon the floor. All their attention was
strained toward a shining black bulk
planted upon three stout legs in the dim
further end Of the hall.
Behind it ascended the suave curve OF
that carved staircase which Miss Barbey's
grandfather had brought over from 9
French chateau. A queer thipg-with it's

American wilderness, but that was the sort
Of grandfather Miss Barley had had. The
Oriel window over the landing was another
bit Of his loot; it cleaned richly now with
the remnants Of daylight.
But staircase and Oriel were subservient
to that black giant who stood beneath
them. There was something, thought his
owner, queerly alive and eXpectant about
him as he faced the silent children.

with a dry catch in his voice.

He went on to the story Of Andreiev's
death.
1t was at this point that the girl seated
herself at his feet and leaning against the
chair took one Of his horrible hands be-
tween hers so that it unclenched. She still
had it when he told Of the fight with the
sentry at the bridge when he had to kill
man so that Sonia and Alexis might live
and when he drew up his sleeve to show
the path Of the bayOnet she also followed
the scar with a soft, pitiful finger. She
watched intently, understandingly when he
fexed his wrist and fingers to show how

Then he told Of SOnia's death and Of

He ended, a little drunk perhaps with
the warmth and comfort coming so over

BY DICK MILLER

What PotSy Clark, new Butler
football coach, is doing with his
grid candidates is quite important
at this time. Some fifty-five play
ers are out daily for the heavy
drills.
Of those f1fty-five three are letter
men from last year and fifteen
junior and senior veterans. Eleven
sophomores who won their numerals
as outstanding yearling players are
also out, likewise most Of the fresh
man team of last year.
The difference between Clark and
most Of the past coaches at Butler
is marked in its vastness. Fiery,
peppery and outspoken, the boss,
Clark, has the gang on it's toes. His
first bit of advice to the squad was:
I'm new here. You all look alike
to me. This is the time to make
the 1927 team, not by presenting
newspaper clippings of past per-
formances."
New Style For All
The team itself is a problem. All
the veterans are playing a new
style of football. Of course, they
have had preliminary training by
expert coaches, but of a different
style. With only fair material to
work with, and none too much
weight among it, the season record
of Butler appears TO be a question
of how much Potsy Clark football
can be drilled into the team from
week to week. =

Walter Floyd, a big, strapping lad,
