 nor that Sir Richard went his way, l fisas deep thrust in capacious side pockets and cowling gaze upon the dusty road. He had turned aside from the high-road, meaning to take a short cut homewards when he was arrested by the whinny of a horse at no great distance and, glancing up, beheld the mouldering ruin of the ancient mill; moved by sudden impulse, he went in among the thickets and presently came on what he sought-the fresh imprint of horses hoofs in the soft earth --and followed these tracks until he heard a murmer of voices and beheld the speakers.
 They were standing between the grim shadow of the ancient mill and the shady pool; he was a slim, handsome, extremely elegant young gentleman, and she seemed very young and of a soft and gentle loyeliness. Sir Richard halted and WatCIleQ JflcIll.
 The gentleman drew a packet from the breast of his embroidered coat, at sight of which the girl reached out eager hands; the gen. tleman seemed to consider, smiled, shook his handsome head and fin ally thrust the packet into his breast again, whereupon the girl cast herself upon her knees before him, arms up-flung in passionate application; smiling still, the gen. tleman took these pleading hands, kissed them gallantly and, swing ing lightly to saddle, cantered away, leaving the girl upon her knees, her slender loveliness shaken by great sobs. At last, uttering a deso- late cry, she rose and began to stumble towards the pool, and was within a yard or so of the water when, hearing a footfall behind her, she started round and shrank. "Tush, child" said Sir Richard, "I am no ghostl"
 "Who-what are you" she whis- pered. 2
 Faith, 'tis a somewhat vexed question" he answered. But what O yourself! Here is no place for you, also you would find the water unpleasantly cold and wet, and our Helen expects you. Moreover, she hath recovered your foolish letter"
 My letter? The letter I writ Sir Richard today? Oh, sir, is it true indeed?"
 Come and see for yourself child!" he answered and smiled into her troubled face, beholding which smile her eyes, upraised to his, were bright with joyful tears.
 Thank God!" she whispered.
 And Helen" he added.
 "Yes-yes, indeed My brave, beautiful Helen!" Looking down at these small hands that clasped his arm so confidently, he began to whistle softly between his teeth.
 Come" said she, let us go; prithee take me to Helen"
 "To Helen!" he repeated. Come Saccharissa."

BASE BALL PIONEER.
OF WEST DIES AT "a

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE. September 16.-Ending
long career in the realm of sports, John
Sloane Barnes, "a, died here at the
home of his daughter Mrs. F. C. Kelly.
Barnes was known as the father of
base bali in the West" having organized
what Is how the American Association
with Charles Comiskey and the old
Pacific Northwest League.
Barnes managed the base ball teams
of Minneapolis, st. Paul, Spokane and
Portland. He won pennants with the
last two clubs.
He delved In other forms Of sport
besides base ball, having been sparring
partner for John L. Sullivan, FitZsim-
mons and Jeffries and worked out with
the original stranger" Lewis. He also
handled Spalding's base ball tour OF the
world and was said to have been the
first man to introduce moving pictures
In China and England.
It was also claimed for him that he
ran the 100-yard dash in 8 3-5 seconds
in Minneapolis when 80 years old,
winning the American and Canadian
championships in that event.
Barnes was born In County Tyrone,
ireland, in 1855 and came to America
when 6 years old.

SNOU menuon ARMY anu FlIC %
= two Of the strongest Eastern
and Florida, in the Southern group"
writes George Dupont Of Washington,
D. C. This is to tip you OF to two
others who will play powerful part
in the selection of an Eastern, not
national, championship ruler-George-
town and Navy.
ITO make a comparison with one OF
the teams you have already mentioned.
/ saw the Georgetown-Duke game in
Washington last Fall, and Georgetown
walked over its weaker opponent to the
tune of six touchdownS to none. When
YOU figure that the Blue and Gray Will
have eight of its varsity men back this
Fall, with q much more experienced
bunch Of reserves. 1t would seem as
though old Georgetown will have con-
siderable to say about the Eastern rat
ings.
Navy, too, will have last years good
November aggregation, plus some likely
looking youngsters from the plebe ranks
of 1928"
THE theory used to be that it took
i years to develop a good doubles
team in tennis, let alone champion
ship combination. Yet within the past
season or two America has turned out
| at least Cnree SCaT QueUS WIFI dppdIcIlC-
ly the fiery spirit of youth as the main
factor.
George Lott and John Hennessey
waded through the 1928 national cham
pionship field, beating the best teams
of France, Australia and the United
States in such one-sided fashion that
the experts haven't yet recovered from
! the shock, This Summer another
smashing pair Of youths. Wilmer Alli-
son and John Van Ryn, burned up the
courts abroad, winning the Wimbledon
championship, besides scoring conquests
over the Germans and French in Davis
Cup competition. :,
Van Ryn and Allison were world
champions when they came home, only
to fall by the wayside in the national
championships as a new combination,
Lott and Johnny Doeg, pounded their
way through the field at Brookline.
Lott thus gains distinction held pre-
viously only by Tilden-that Of winning
the doubles title with a different part

NJ. z. Peake of Bethesda. the South

contest here will be the principals in
the grand finale. This will consist of
only two matches, with one of the three
drawing bye and meeting the winner
Of the match between the other two.
Kirchner Has 4 Struggle.
Kirchner was crowned the Northern
Virginia rajah of ringers Saturday in a
hotly contested State play-of at Gull
pepper. The Bancroft man didn't strike
his true stride until late in the going
when he NEEDED it most. His toughest
assignment was in the final, where he
met the Fairfax County champion, II.
e. barnes of Falls Church. barnes
won the first 50-point game by slender
margin, Kirchner got the second by
close decision and then went on to win
decisively in the third as barnes tired.
The Fairfax player pitched five So
point games with scarcely a iet-up,
while Kirchner was favored with a bye
in one Of the rounds. At that It ap-
peared Kirchner would be the better
performer under almost any conditions.
barnes style of toss is the more diff
cult to control.
The doings at Culpeper settled the
feud between Ed Henry and barnes,
who fought it out for the championship
Of Falls Church, the Fairfax County
title and then the State crown. They
clashed in a semi-final at Culpeper,
and barnes eked out victory. making
him one UP on Henry In tournament
Henry, but he accepted 1t gracefully
and the pair buried the Ratchet.
Thompson Appointed.
George c. Thompson, tournament
chairman for Fairfax County, showed
class as a referee at Culpeper, and to-
day was appointed to the board Of ON
Gals Of the grand finale.
With Capt. j. c. Albright as general
chairman, the Virginia play-o1 was
conducted in big-league style. The
courts were pitched in front Of the
grandstapd at the ball park, but most
of the spectators chose closer view
and formed q dense horseshoe around
the courts, with the open ends facing
the grandstand.
The roofing was intense, and par
ticularly in the final. when the crowd
was evenly divided for Kirchner and
barnes.
The tired and hungry pitchers were
honor guests at banquet given by Gull
peper's leading citizens.

In addition to speaking about his own
team Athletic Director Miles gives
rather freely his opinion about some OF
the other schools and their prospects.
It is his opinion that Duke University
may be the surprise of the season. Here
is the way Miles puts It:
ut will be interesting to watch Duke

Conference ranks. have an idea that
the Blue Devils will upset few hopes
