she looked on her dressing table
for the customary note. If Hollis as
much as wandered down to the
bar, he was sure to leave message.
Weighted with a crystal bottle, or
an onyx jar. Or stuck, maybe, in
the corner of her mirror. Be

testations. She would find them on

She had given Mogg the after
noon. Probably Hollis had en-
trusted message to her, and the
stupid creature had forgotten to
leave word. She lifted things on
her dressing table. poking about.
She looked under her pillow, and
on Hollis chiffonier. Maybe he
was cross because she lunched with
Monty. But he told her to. He had
been perfectly pleasant about it.
Well, If he was angry, he could
stay angry. The idea!
She opened her bag. Petit point,
with an old gold clasp, set with
emeralds. 1t was stuffed with francs.
She would walk along rue Sainre
Honore, out to the Fauborg, and
look in the windows of all those
adorable little shops.
They were sure to be full of en-
trancing things. Shed get quilted
bed jacket for Maizie. And some of
that cleaning Russian jewelry for
Sadie. Sadie would adore those
ankle bangles, and the long, drippy
ear rings.
If she didn't have enough money,
she could have them sent collect to
the hotel. Hollis wouldn't mind.
But it would serve him right if he
did, Her last afternoon IN Paris!
And he'd gone off, without a word.
XXTHEN she returned, Mogg was
wv back. And Hollis had tele-
phoned, leaving word that he had
been delayed.
1t was seven o'clock. 'I'll wait
half an hour" she decided, land if
he isn't in then, I'll have dinner
by myself"
She would go to Maxin's, because
she enjoyed watching French girls.
They fascinated her. Hollis didn't
like to take her there, because he
said she stared outrageously.
At half past seven, Ashtoreth put
on dark clothes, and a small felt
hat. She had heard that women
were not admitted alone. But that
OF course was nonsense.

They won't dare say anything"
So she took taxi, and was de-

obviously attractive ladies, who ar

tourists, leaving the cocottes Cfor

should also use a medium size court,
and if they are playing boys rules 1t
should be even smaller.
All of the dimensions for q basket
ball court are contained in the official
rule book, a copy of which you should
study before trying to play the game.
Played under these conditions, basket
ball will give you all the benefits that
you derive from any other sport. Above
all, it will teach you to be quick, shifty
and graceful on your feet. 1t will de-
velop your eyes, your wind and your
staying qualities and build up your
muscles. and it will teach you quick
thinking and good craftsmanship.
Now let us have a word on the train
ing rules that are necessary to keep in
condition for the game. Ir general the
rules applicable to any other branch of
athletics are equally good for basket
ball. You should be careful about what
you eat, avoiding pickles, spices, pastries
and pies, all of which are bad for the
wind. You should get nine hours of
sleep, and it goes without saying that
you should not use tobacco. Coffee and
tea are not to be advised, but if a boy
is used to drinking coffee for breakfast
/ think it is better for him to continue
with it than to upset his system by
suddenly disseminating its use
Outside of these simple rules no other
strenuous training is necessary. You
need not give up dancing, as is advised
for foot ball. In fact. dancing helps
your game, for 1t teaches you to be
graceful and shifty on your feet, and
the good basket ball player is likely to
be a capable dancer This does not
mean, of course, that you should stay
up late dancing the night before play
ing camel
Any other game that develops speed
and a good eye will be found helpful in

Then the ghost or the horrible face
at the window is likely to be on hand
| I suppose unused Barrie. Gould you

very important that none of the other
girls know about it."
Yes, I think could do that" said
Jack.
Good! You make the arrangements
and perhaps we can nab Mr.. Ghost
or should say Mrs. Ghost?" Barrie
laughed as he saw the puzzled look on
Jacks face.
So it was that, late the following
night the two boys crept stealthily out
of the academy and made their way
to Miss Wales school. They were met
at the door by Miss Vale herself and
conducted noiseleSsly to Kay's room.
Now, Kay" said Barrie, you go
right ahead and study as though you
we're alone in the room. may be
wrong, but think the ghost will pay
you a visit tonight. Jack and 1 will
hide out of sight of the window and
be ready for it,
Kay nodded and tried nervously to
put her mind on her books but the
boys could see that the events of the
past week had had bad effect on her.
I'm afraid this rotten business is
going to cost you the university medal,
Sis" said Jack sadly.
Perhaps not" replied Kay. Miss
Vale told me that she would not count
the exams that I've had to take on
days following the appearances of the
ghost, when I've been so frightened"
The expectant trio did not have long
to wait. Suddenly the two boys, who
had heard no sound to break the ST.
lence, saw Kay Stiffen in her chair and
turn slowly toward the window. Then
they heard low tapping along the
wall outside. Even Barrie, veteran Of
many detective thriller, felt his skin
tighten.
Then from outside the window there
came blood-curdling wall. It started
on low note, rose to high pitch and
then trailed on dismally into silence,
but before it ended Kay gave cry of
alarm and jumped to her feet Peer
ing in at the window was the most
horrible face that Barrie had ever seen.

teaching you to play basket ball. Hand
ball is particularly valuable, and volley
ball and tennis are also excellent.
Finally, you should be careful about
your equipment. Basket ball requires
the spending of very little money for
suits and other equipment, but it is i'm
portant that you have a good ball for
use in practice as well as il your games.
If you practice with heavy, soggy ball
and then try to play with live. new
one you will find that it will throw you
badly out of your stride.
1t is well for all the members of a
team to have identical uniforms, as this
avoids confusion on the floor. Jerseys
of the same color and pattern are par
ticularly necessary. And above all, have
a good pair of shoes, for your feet are
of the greatest Importance in the game.
Be very careful not to injure your feet
at the start of the season, and take
care of any bliSterS that may develop.
If your skin is very tender you can get
excellent skin toughenerS at any drug
store. Clean socks are necessity also,
and white wool ones are best. Change
them as often as you possibly can.
If you can obtain shoes with cushions
in the heels, by all means do so: but
if you cannot, you can make cushion

parts, one for each shoe. For any
player whose ankles are inclined to be
weak it will be helpful to wrap them
with gauze. running the strip under the
sole of the foot, over the arch and
around the ankle. In fact, this wrapping
is an excellent safety precaution~ to pre-
vent sprained ankles.
AS a general rule it is well to wear as
little as possible in the game. The day
of heavy knee and elbow pads is past,
for the good basket ball player keeps of
the floor and avoids burns and bruises.
Short socks are now in favor. but you
can wear long ones or light knee pads
if your knees are tender.
Finally, every player should have a
sweat shirt, so the he can put it on at
once after playing CT during intermis-
sions, and thus avoid chilling.

With a leap he was out of his hiding
place and across the room. He flung
up the window and made wild lunge
at the face, catching it in his TWO
hands. And then he tumbled back into
the room, holding at arms length a
grotesque, leering mask, mounted on a
light wooden frame.
This was on long pole!" he cried.
Somebody down below showed it up
Come on, Jack, We may be able to

They dashed from the room, while
Kay dropped weakly to her chair. In
the corridors outside other girls were

game. For one thing. it requires a
small number of players and little
equipment, so that almost any group
of boys or girls who can get ball and
a few gym suits. can form a team or
choose up sides and have hard-fought,
interesting games. Another advantage
is the fact that basket ball is just about
the only fast team game that is played
indoors. and that can be played in any
climate throughout the Winter. 1t is
easily adapted to the varying conditions
to be found in schools, clubs and play
grounds.
In this article, the first of a series
about basket ball, am going to tell
you a few general things about the
game, such as your preliminary training,
the equipment needed, and SO on. Then
in the following articles I will give you
definite, simple instructions on how to
play the game; how to pass and shoot.
pivot and dribble and guard. I will
show how you can work out an easy,
effective system of attack and defense,
developing teamwork and speed in your
play. If you follow the lessons care
fully and practice the game as you go
along, you should be a fairly good basket
ball player by the time we're through
with each other. Practice, of course, is
just as important as it is in any other

ball. once you understand the principles
of the game, is to play it.
But first of all let me give you a
word of caution. Growing boys and
girls should always be careful not to
overdo in playing any game, and for
that reason it is well to have your sports
supervised by a physical director or
some other person who understands the
principles of bodily development This
does not mean that you need an ex-
pert basket ball player to teach you the
game, however, for if you are careful
not to play to the point of exhaustion
you can have lot Of fun without a real
coach.
