The Eagles have piled up a great
record-the best ever made by a
Brownsville eleven. They comprise
the outstanding team in the history
OF the institution. Taking the Port
Arthur defeat at full value (Which
we do not), the border boys have
had a wonderful season. The stuff
which the wise guys are splitting
reminds us OF what the Anti-Tobac-
co marin said Of Uncle Jt3 when
he died: He lived to be 103. but
the vile weed finally got him

been vacated by the yelling mob
Saturday afternoon, high IN the

we went down to the field TO meet
the man. II was Supt. g. w. GotkA
With a trace or emotion in his

Port Arthur has an excellent foot
ball team-there's no denying that.
Furthermore, Tom Dennis is rated

third quarter. the Eagles either out
PLAYED or held their own with the
yellow Jackets throughout the con-
test. Fessenden's charges had the
upper hand by a wide margin in
the first period. With just a couple

Romance

the. porch 2" Mary would
ask. And then they would
put down what Frank said
he felt. But not what he
really felt. Somehow he
couldn't put that into a short
story for anybody and
everybody to read.
Finally, it was finished and
they mailed it together, to
the same magazine whose
clerk had been the unwilling
cause of their meeting.
One week, two weeks went
by and then it came back.
But, instead Of the ordinary
rejection slip, there was a
short note from the editor.
"This is a well~written
story" it read, " and, ordi.
narily, we would accept it.
But it has one vital fault
1t isn't true to life. Things
don't happen this way in
real life. J"
When they had read the
note, they looked at each
other and Mary blinked
back the tears of disappoint-
ment.
And then Frank reached
out to take her hands and
his arms went about her
while she hid her face on
his shoulder.
"Let's fool them, he said.
"Let's make it true to life.
Let's make it true for us,
even if it isn't for that
editor.''

Ewes voice was becoming

of hopelessness. Somehow,
he must quiet her.

and Mary considered to be
an extraordinary lack Of
taste and judgment.
And, then, in one maya
zine office, a clerk made a
mistake. He put one of
Mary's manuserip is in
Frank s envelope and one of
his in Mary s, as thoughtless
clerks will sometimes do, and
then he sent them back,
When Frank opened his,
he understood the mistake
that had been made and saw
by the address on the first
page of Mary story that a
girl who lived not far from
him was trying to be an
author.
"I hope she's pretty, be-
cause her story's rotten" he
said to himself after he had
read it and prepared to re-
turn it.
Mary was sitting in a
swing on the porch of her
home when Frank turned In
from the sidewalk with her
manuscript under his arm.
"Miss Carson9" he said.
The explanations followed,
but Frank didn't really hear
half that Mary said, for he
was thinking to himself that
he couldn't understand how
so pretty a girl as she could
have lived so close to him
and he did not know her.
Mary brought out his
story and then they sat in
the. swing to talk-to talk
of story writing, of mutual
acquaintance and then of
themselves.
Finally, shyly, Mary said:
II think your story was
splendid. Perhaps I should
not have done it, but !

tion to read it. -

She had heard the last few

And knew who it was. So

exclamation, like a white

smile on Ewes face. Her
barbed arrow had found its

Like Don Carlos, he was
clothed in white trousers
and a soft silk shirt. He
had had Sam Lung prepare
a few Scotch highballs be-

stairs, and he was feeling
fine.
"Ah! My dear Eve! You
look enchanting. Some leg,

spied Don Carlos: ''I beg

which Eve was enjoying the
situation, he added to cover
up the embarrassment of
the moment:

vanished into the interior

you re rather rough on the
poor fellow. .
"Now, listen, Eddie, I've

colonel, ''No offense, my

answered Frank. 1T was
one of the best I've ever
read. Better than anything
that magazine has ever pub
lished. "
He really believed it,
then.
An hour had gone before
he went home, but he was
back again the following
evening. That evening and
the next evening and then
he fumed and fretted for
three days because other en-
gagements prevented Mary
from seeing him.
He met her father and her
mother and learned that
Mary's mother knew his
own mother and almost
blurted out the question:
why didn't you tell her
you had a daughter like
Mary so that she could tell
me9"
The weeks slipped by but
the first ecstasy held. Some
times their talks would be-
come a little breathless and
at other times they would
fall silent and look at each
other until Mary turned her
eyes away and blushed or
Frank hurriedly began to
speak of anything at all.
OF his work, sometimes,

wasn't writing short stories,
and how we'll he was doing
in it and how, if only every
thing continued to 90 well,
he would be able-he would

1t was Mary who first
suggested that thsy write a
story together.
"We could do so much
better that way she said.
each could criticise the
others work.
"What shall we write
about?" asked Frank.
Suggestion after sugges-
tion was made only to be
discarded and finally Mary
exclaimed:
"I have it. Wen write a
story about ourselves. How
a man and a girl meet be-
cause some stupid clerk in a
magazine office mixed their
manuscripts. We ought to
be able to write that be-
cause it did happen to us
and we know all about it. .
"Fine," said Frank.
So they started out with
their joint labor, but they
made slow progress. For
there were so many other
things to talk about besides
construction and suspense
and dialogue and all the
other technicalities of the
short story, good, bad or
perfect.
But, slow though it was,
they did work and the story
