All during the battle the war whoop5
of the rival college tribes resound
through the stadium, which is the
battle-ground. In preparation for one
of these battles the braves endure all
the rigors of the slightly more savage
Indian braves. They submit to the
training table and they punish them
selves in practice and preliminary
scrimmages owen of Harvard once

rigors of training for foot ball.
The Old Grads Prototype.
EVEN the old grad has his prototype
IL among the Indians of the elder
day. Always with the tribes were tn
old men, whose warning days were over.
On the eve of battle the old men eX-
horted the braves and reminded them
of the past glories of the tribes, the
scalps they had taken in battle and
urged them to do what was best eX-
pressed by one of the more modern
braves, who sobbed during a conflict
I'D die for dear old Rutgers"
I suppose that in the elder day
the old men of the tribes were quite
the same nuisances to the young
warriors as the old grads are to the
undergraduates of today. 1t must
have made the Sioux young warriors
a little impatient on the eve OF
foray to hear from one OF the gray
chiefs that 20 moons before the
Sioux beat the Blackfeet by 208
scalps to 81, and that moons be-
fore that the tribe shut out the Sac
and Fox by 481 scalps to o.
Naturally the old chiefs frequently
must have deplored the decline in tribal
spirit and the lack of enthusiasm for
the game as shown by the decrease In
volume of the tribal war whoop. Then
they must have tried to raise the yell
as it should have been raised until their
shrill voices cracked in an attempt to
get full volume into the long cheer.

down of the goal posts is an Indian

was playing it as she never
had played anything before.
"Here comes the BRIDE

rickety old side-porch, hid

of the year, came Jeanne in

she was.

It was 9 o'clock when

the old painted tin breakfast

began to blink the sleep out
of her eyes.
"Neal put it there for me

answered-and it was not

moonlit sideyard.
Ann Marie could see it
through the open windows
of the diningroom as she
started towards the side
porch on slipper feet that
made no sound.
She was just putting her
hand to unlock the door that
led to the side-porch when
the sound Of voices, coming
from the yard, startled her

there in the cool sweet dark

over to one of the windows

They were in the car-Alice

Alice's white dress and the
glowing tip of Neal cigarette.

a whisper.

kissed her goodnight and
started down Pleasant Street

the front steps and watched
his tall figure vanish into

Brooke's champagne had
been passed in wide-mouthed
glasses and everyone had

CHAPTER 2
The Dark Years

All things hearty and vail
ant, all vital things, seemed
to have marched away from
Saint-Vallier with the men.
What remained in the vii
Jage were pale shadows of
life-wit h cred old Papa
Gerard, the town crier-fat
Madame la Mott-crippled
Gaspard Quivalan-her own
invalid aunt.
She moved through a
world grown dark with
nightmare. There were
times when the girl found
herself doubling the reality
of those sweet last mo-
ments with Andre in the
green shelter of the willow.
Had it really happened?
Had Andre really taken
her in his arms-kissed her
closed eyes-her throat?
Chill autumn dawns, when
she dressed in the bare bed
room tucked under the caves
Of the old farmhouse, Mari
anne would whisper to the
girl who looked back at her
from the spotted mirror,
"He loves you.
Locked in my heart, Mari
anne, " All, dear God,
keep him safe.'
One afternoon she climbed
the hill to the deserted little
school house.
No one had taken his
place since that tragic first
of August when Andre de-
clared the lesson finished
and walked out to war.
Marianne's foot cps
echoed lonesomely on the
wooden floor. Dust on the
benches. On the master S
desk. Even the sunlight
streaming in the dusty win
dows-the deep golden sun
light of autumn-had taken
on a sad tinge.
The Washington times., 1929-10-15

II don't look like much
now she said gaily to
Neal when they started
away from Susquehanna
Hall in the car, "but wait
till you see me in the dress
I'm going to wear to the
wedding. l look Ikea bride,
myself, in it!'
[ wish you were" Neal
answered solemnly. II wish
YOU were mine Then
maybe some of these con-
sarned women would let me
alone for a while. They
sure do run me ragged. "
You hate yourself, don't
you?' Ann Marie burst
INTO a laugh. But she knew
that what he said was true
enough I" " Girls had "run
him ragged" =" And they
probably always would, so
long as his gray eyes were
clear and young, his body
lean and hard and muscu-
lar, his hair black and
thick.
"They fall in love with
your looks, you handsome
good-for-nix!" she told him
cheerfully. "But love
youn'
The wedding, like all we'd
dlngs, was a very melan-
choly affair.
Jeanie had her white altar
set against the rose-bushes in
the side-yard, just where the
slanting rays of the after
noon sun would strike it.
The wedding guests stood

She had her kimono and
slippers on in a second, and
was running down the stairs.
Mr.. Macy was sitting at
the dining-room table, look
ing over the Sunday paper,
when she came flying into
the room and across to the
side porch.
Outside the yard was fresh
from the nights dew and
green with the soft young
tender green of early June.
The roses were clustered on
the bushes against the fence,
thick at stars.
The whole place was just
as serene and familiar as it
had been under the moon at
midnight-but there was no
little car standing beside the
steps!

Before her, on the floor,
Nanette and baby Sylvestre
