It fell helplessly into the sea, and the
old man saw his only companion drown
in the cruel ocean waters, without being
able to help, and being ashamed, in his
wretched condition, to appeal to Yves.
Who would have listened to the prayer
of such man as he? Could he ever
have dared to think the ship nigh
have been stopped for the inconse-
quential sparrow of an aged convict?
1t was too absurd. So he had suffered
silently, watching the sparrow being
borne away from him.
He was lonely now, this old man, ter
ribly lonely-and he would be lonely
until the end of his life, which might
not be far off. Tears were running
down his cheeks-tears of a despair
that could never be aSsuaged. And the
young man to whom he was chained,
he of the short sight, was laughing
aloud at what he deemed the amusing
grief Of an old prisoner.
Since he no longer had his bird, the
old convict did not care to keep the
cage, which had cost him SO much
trouble and on which he had expended

friendly attitude toward him, and
this cage, the last possession of the old
fellow, was all that he would leave be-
hind him when at last he left this
world.
Yves accepted the legacy sadly, to
crafty this last wish OF the sorrowing
old man. It was moment full of more
sadness, indeed, than my poor pen

1t was a supreme tragedy.
Now, late in the evening, as Yves told
me his sad story, 1 was being affected
to an extent would not have believed
possible. The despair of this old con-
vict, as related by Yves, threatened to
disturb the peace of my slumbers. I,
who knew so much of the tragedy OF
life, was being saddened by this simple
yarn of an old man and his sparrow.
Couldn't another bird be sent to
him?" I suggested.
oh I thought of that" said Yves.
Il thought would get him beautiful
bird and take 1t to him the next day.
It would have been difficult, but it might
have been managed You could have
done it-you might go aboard the
transport even tomorrow. to seek out
that old man, with a bird for him. But
do not even know his name. And
wouldn't people think it rather odd?"
Yes. of course they would think 1t
odd" I admitted uncomfortably. But
I thought with a pleasurable anticipa-

inside of me.

The Old Convict.
BY PIERRE LOTIE.

To help pass the time, Yves engaged
the old man in conversation. The old
convict did not look especially criminal,
but he was chained according to the
custom to much younger mana man
Of unpleasant, sneering appearance, and,
judging from his spectacles, near

The old convict explained that he was
former highwavman, arrested for the

"How can one avoid stealing when he
has once begun?" asked the old fellow
"And when there is no other way to
earn living? When people will have

are sending me away from France, to
die in strange land"

with him Tor year in his lonely cell.
1t knew his voice. After some trouble
he had obtained permission to take the
bird with him, and had gone to the eX-
tent of securing a little wood, wire and
so on, to make the tiny cage in which
he was keeping the bird for the voyage.
Here / remember exactly what Yves
said about this pet bird:
Poor sparrow! In its cage was
piece of gray bread, for food. But it
seemed quite happy, In spite Of that.
1t Jumped about exactly like any other
tame bird"
Hours later, passing again near the
old man, Yves spoke to him once more.
The man had changed completely. He
held out the bird cage to Yves, asking
him to take it and make some use of it.
Yves told him he would need 1t for
his little pet and companion.

Sensational distance shooting by John Crowley, Boston Boys club center gave, his team g. big early advantage and enabled it to pin a S5-24 defeat on the New Britain Boys club basketball team in game played Saturday night at the Hub institution. It was the second time this season the Boston five had de- feated the locals, for it had nosed out Captain Tony Kerelejza. and his mates in this city few weeks pre- viously.
 The team started evenly, but John Crowley suddenly began to pump his shots from the middle of the floor, making six spectaeular goals before the first half was over and giving tho home outfit safe 22-11 lead. New Britain, with kerelejza and Compagnone leading in scoring played the winners to a standstill in the second half, each side getting 13 points, but the damage had been done.
 All told, John Crowley garnered 16 points, while Daly with nine was another important factor in the Boston attack. kerelejza of the locals matched this total and Com- pagnone made six points. Goffa made two nice baskets. Winters and Pa luch shone on the defense. The game was very clean, New Britain being awarded only II free tries, of which it made six, and Boston getting but nine, putting in seven of them.

 Win Final Game
 The final game between the Whip pets and the Woodstock Academy quintet, was practically a repetition of the semi-final contest. Although the score indicates lack of excite ment, the crowd was on it's feet most of the time.
 It was the work of the back court guardians on the Whippet team in keeping the Woodstock forwards in check that was the strongest factor in the victory of the locals. The Whippets failed to display their real strength until the final quarter when the Whippets riddled the Woodstock defense. The teams had played on fairly even terms for three quarters of the game.
 The work of the Whippets proved to be the real feature of the entire tournament. The regulars as well Bs the substitutes, are crack shots and good floor workers. The excellent team work of the local quintet and the cooperation of the players with each other, gave the quintet a de- cided edge on all of it's opponents. The summary:

A surging second half rally which was not to bo denied carried the South Church Juniors to 24-17 win over the Southington Y. M. C. A. Juniors in junior County "Y" bas- ketball tournament game at the East Side Recreation center in Manches- brought the local team through the second round and into the semi finals. On the short end of q IA score at the half, the junior church. men came back with an attack which swept the Southngton team off it's feet and ran up 20 points while the losers were getting a pal try three. Near the end the Pe1to Town boys were so rattled that they could not even approach the basket with their wild shots, and what had looked like q New Britain rout be- came exactly the opposite.
 Stanley and Cormier were the heroes of tho victory, the former holding Palladino, star of the open ing round, to one basket and col lecting five himself. Most of these came toward the end in the thick of the winning rally. Albright topped Southington with five points. The floor was so slippery that fast play was rendered extremely difficult.
 The Broad Brook Tigers sprang the second surprise of the afternoon when they busted the Manchester Freshmen, defending champions, after a furious battle, the final score being 25-23.
 The South church team will meet the Enfield high school entry dur ing the coming week, while the Bap tist Boys club, the second New Brit ain competitor in the tourney, is to stack up against the Broad Brook team, which is now favored to win the county title.

BOSTON BRUINS
 ID MEET RANGERS
Indications Are That Two Teams
 Will Meet in Finals

New York. March o4 P-The Boston Bruins seem headed for the finals of the Stanley cup playoff series for the second time in suc- cession and the indications gained from last nights games point to the New York Rangers as their 6p ponents in the finals again.
 The Bruins have to win only one more game to go into the final series for the trophy of the worlds pro- fessional hockey championship and they have three chances on their home ice to gain that victory. Bos- ton followed up it's gruelling victory of Thursday night in the playof between the first place teams of tho National Hockey league by defeat ing the Montreal Maroons again Saturday, 4 to ?.
 The Bruins were vastly superior to their rivals in the second game as Dit Clapper and Cooncy Wciland worked their smooth passes and Marty Barry fired his powerful shots. They got three goals before the Maroons tallied once and were in trouble only when they tried to take things easy at the finish. To add to this superiority, the Bruins have their record through the regular sea son of losing but one of 23 games on their home ice and they appear able to continue that pace.
 The Rangers, under rated in the predictions because of a poor show ing at the finish of the season and of injuries, played championship hockey last night to eliminate the powerful Ottawa Senators in the third place series. After a Il draw in the first half of the tvo-gamc playoff and a poor start in tho sec ond contest, the Rangers hit their pest stride of the year to score five goals to Ottawa's $ two and take the series by a 6-3 margin.
 The return of Frank Boucher. who was not seriously hampered by a badly injured shoulder, did much to help the New Workers while the young llOllty pldS tio ol lIt JAdl- ger second line, carried on in their favori,o p,ayoff fashion by scoring | two of the goals.

 The afternoon contest was a furl- ous one. Corban opened the scoring for Danbury and, after Bell had tied the count, Carboni and Talrchlld gave the losers a 6-2 lead. Jacobi popped a goal for New Britain as the quarter ended, and Bell opened the second one with three points, Vessels following with q basket to make it 9-6. Strait and Davenport dipped field goals for Danbury, but again Vessels came through, and Fairchild's foul gave the Fairfield county team only an Hall tie at the half.
 New Britain sent in new guards in second half Corban and Davenport got loose for scores, but Bells bas- ket and Jacobis foul brought the To- calls up to within point again. Car bonin and Corban Tipped field goals for a five-point lead and this was increased by ono when Fairchild fol- lowed Miller's foul with a floor shot. Miller then got a basket and Bell a foul, but Davenport made it 25-lS, Danbury, as the period ended.

Going directly into the semi- finals after drawing a bye in the first round of the tournament be- tween County Y basketball teams for the state championship, the Whippet basketball team of this city won two consecutive victories at the Connecticut Agricultural col lege at Storrs, Saturday, to take first honors in the intermediate class.
 The New Britain team defeated Canaan of Litchfield county in the morning game and then met Wood stock Academy, winners of the game with Fairfield and represent ing Windham county, in the, after noon session. This also, the locals won. The score of the morning game was fl to IS and of the afternoon contest, 80 to IA. In both contests, the Whippets displayed decisive superiority.
 Morning Game
 Both the Whippets and the Canaan quintet were handicapped by nervousness in the session staged Saturday morning. Canaan slipped in six points to lead 6 to 4 at the end of the first querter. Then the Whippets started to hit their stride and after a furious onslaught, the local team led 1 6 to at half time.
 Hutchison, giant center for the Litchfield team, who, with 17 points the day before, had been his teams hero, was completely checked by the Whippets' defense.
 At resumption of play, the Whip pets set an even faster pace than in the first half and, after a few min utes it became evident that the Litchfield players were starting to fold up. What had been a hard battle, turned into a walkaway for the locals. Every man on the win ming team starred in his position.
